During the holidays, the most daily entertainment activities are-
Watch a movie.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and while everyone is looking forward to the holiday, they must also be very interested in the movie list of this schedule.
I have to say that the leap-forward progress of domestic films has indeed made the spiritual world of Chinese people more full.
Even the small Dragon Boat film market is extremely competitive, which should be unprecedented in the entire schedule, plus the summer file that will come soon, it is a gathering of heroes and all themes in full bloom.
Brother Fa reappeared in the rivers and lakes "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers" menacing, Ni Daqiang Hui Yinghong "I love you!" " The white-headed old man can be called a tear jerker, and the two tracks of "Disappearing Her" and "In the Octagon Cage" both competed.
There are also the summer Hong Kong film "Drug Sweep 3", Wang Yibo and Huang Bo's "Warm", ten years of grinding a sword "Fengshen Part 1" and Shen Teng's "Super Family", and super IP "Mission Impossible 7", "Megalodon 2" and so on.
This is the small schedule of the film market, which is completely the "war of the century".
Presumably, many people choose phobias to commit, so many, but everyone who chooses a bad film will regret it.
No hurry, this thunder, I will go first.
The first to apply for the battle are two brothers, Chen Sicheng and Wang Baoqiang, a highly publicized suspense blockbuster "Disappearing Her", and a sincere work "In the Octagon Cage" that has been polished for six years. After reading it, I can only say that there is no gap without comparison.
Director: Wang Baoqiang
Starring: Wang Baoqiang, Chen Yongsheng, Shi Pengyuan
Remember those days when Wang Baoqiang was hot, there were thousands of stars in the entertainment industry, and no one could copy Baoqiang's history of fame.
The grassroots counterattack is visible to everyone, and his humility and sweat on the road of actor make him not abandoned after the stars faded. Even during the low-key retirement, a CCTV article "desperate illiterate" singled him as a positive case, and Wang Baoqiang is the real "strong brother" of the entire internal entertainment.
However, on the road of directing, Brother Qiang is really a little choking, especially a "Big Trouble" directly won three awards, and even Wang Baoqiang went directly to the scene to receive this "award",
After watching "In the Octagon Cage" six years later, I can only say that the attitude is very recognized, and the director's ability needs to be examined.
1. The material is flattering, the story is complete, and the acting skills are online
It is undeniable that "In the Octagon Cage" is a hundred times better than Wang Baoqiang's previous works. He finally gave up the ugly and funny things he was not good at, and the rotten terriers that turned over endlessly.
The material of this film is very flattering, adapted from the real social case of "fighting orphans", with sensitive topics and social attention, plus the content is relatively easy to play, and there is no need to completely create your own script, which has a lot of room for new directors.
The story is also relatively complete, at least in the idea point and the emotions of the children are described in detail, and the audience can understand the emotions that the director wants to express.
In contrast, the acting skills of Wang Baoqiang and several young actors are more outstanding. Now the story of the little person has gradually become the main body of the movie, if Wang Baoqiang can appear in more good films, he may have won more awards.
2. Forcibly sensationalizing, going to the cliché, the flat character makes people drowsy
The whole process can feel the effect of Wang Baoqiang wanting to shoot "I Am Not the God of Medicine", after all, they are all adapted from hot events, and as long as they are played in place, they can also become a good niche film. However, the sincerity of the production team cannot be used as a reason for morally kidnapping the audience.
Click on the comment area, everyone's feelings are similar, but most netizens are also merciful.
The character image is not three-dimensional enough, and no matter how good the actor plays, he can only be framed in a limited setting. At the same time, I want to shoot too many things, but I don't have the ability to support it, and the bits and pieces put together seem more fragmented.
Whenever the audience wants to enter the play, everything is directly pulled out of the camera, and there is no small reversal design in the plot. The lens language is very attractive, but the overall is relatively flat, and the plot direction is completely within everyone's expectations.
The elements are not enough, sensationalism to make up. Although sensationalism is a routine operation in this kind of drama, it is counterproductive to blindly sensationalize.
In fact, everyone still has some filters for Wang Baoqiang, because he is indeed very honest, even when he is the hottest, he did not take on the show in order to earn money. Now in the director's career has repeatedly hit a wall, we have also seen Baoqiang's progress, but in six years, Baoqiang's progress still can't keep up with the pace of the film industry.
The bitter rural child, the kind-hearted coach who was slandered and planted, just for the hot unscrupulous media, only three points can make up a big drama, but the plot of "In the Octagon" fighting is too little, there is too much sensationalism, ingenuity is used but not enough, and the lack of tension makes the whole film too little attractive. If you spend more effort on fighting and break through the scale to create bursts, maybe the visual effect will be better.
Although it is sleepy to watch, this film is also qualified for the Dragon Boat Festival schedule.
Such a work tempered in "six years" can also be regarded as respect for the audience, I don't know if the next film will exceed the audience's expectations, looking forward to another sincere work by director Baoqiang.
Director: Chen Sicheng
Starring: Zhu Yilong, Ni Ni, Wen Yongshan, Du Jiang
I admit that Chen Sicheng has some skills in him.
"Disappearing Her" is adapted from the former Soviet film "The Trap for the Bachelor". The cause of the story is that He Fei (played by Zhu Yilong) is fruitless in looking for his wife, and one day his wife suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and all the evidence indicates that this is his wife, but this woman (played by Wen Yongshan) is extremely strange in his eyes.
1. The second half of the reversal is constant, more "manslaughter" than "Manslaughter"
Objectively speaking, the first half of "Disappearing Her" shows the sweet plot of He Fei and his wife is somewhat embarrassing.
However, on the whole, the flaws are not hidden, and the button should not be too strong. It can be said that "Disappearing Her" is a film work that absolutely cannot be spoiled and must personally welcome this big surprise.
Looking back after watching the movie, every character and every casual action that appears is not useless.
For example, for He Fei, Li Muzi in front of him is obviously a stranger, but why all the evidence, including identity documents, online information and even surveillance, is no different from this woman's description, and she can even blurt out the details of the relationship between the two people.
Lawyer Chen Mai, as the only unrelated person in this matter, how could he be involved in the case so coincidentally and embarked on the road of "finding a wife", why not find a lawyer to find his wife. Including He Fei's identity is also more doubtful, in fact, many people guess that he may be the real murderer behind the scenes, but since he is the murderer, why bother to find his wife, and even catch this barrister.
"Disappearing Her" is like a large thread cluster, little by little, but I found that there are various small thread groups hidden in it. For two hours, there was a constant jump between the emotions of "I got it must be like that" and "how could I go like this".
From the plot, you can feel that director Chen Sicheng wants to put the suspense color to the greatest sincerity, and the straightforward depiction on the emotional line is not as good as the hidden technique. Wave after wave of climax gradually mobilized the audience's emotions, and after the final big reversal, there was even a "boom hook" sensationalism, which was directly sublimated to amaze.
2. Zhu Yilong's acting skills are highlight, Ni Ni is decent, and Wen Yongshan's accent is slightly dramatic
Perhaps many passers-by and viewers are still faintly worried, looking at the lineup is not strong, and the box office appeal is also average. However, the collision effect between the three after the main film is broadcast is still very good.
Ni Ni changed her sexy and feminine route, her sassy appearance and personality adaptation are quite high, and there is a different kind of charm integrated into it. Wen Yongshan's accent is really a bit dramatic, especially in the post-dubbing where it is not lip-shaped, but it is more beautiful on camera than in a roadshow.
Zhu Yilong's acting skills were strongly recognized by director Guo Fan in the first screening.
Indeed, Director Guo is not strong, and Zhu Yilong's performance is gradually progressive in emotional level. At first, he may just feel decent, but when the climax gradually comes, Zhu Yilong's performance gradually enters the topic.
The huge contrast between the characters before and after, the transition between emotional collapse and calm is just right, and the large close-ups of various expressions are very powerful and make people involuntarily substitute into it.
In fact, it can also be seen from the lineup that this movie is mainly to watch Zhu Yilong's performance, he played the character well and stood the plot is the icing on the cake, but Fan La crosses a little audience can not enter the play, it is no exaggeration to say that this time his performance is even more surprising than "Life Events".
In addition, Ni Ni's performance in the last clip is more surprising than the front, and Du Jiang is also directly creepy in the latter shot. The selection of the supporting role Huang Ziqi is also very clever. As for what kind of story is hidden behind her role, the audience needs to go into the theater to dig it for themselves.
epilogue
As far as the two works that have been unveiled are concerned, one is slightly insufficient and easy to get drowsy, and the more you watch it, the better it is best to survive the early stage, but for the small Dragon Boat Festival, "In the Octagon Cage" and "Disappearing Her" did not pull their crotches.
Wang Baoqiang's return six years later let the audience see his sincerity, Chen Sicheng re-emerged and successfully reversed the rollover reputation of "Manslaughter 2", and the brothers should be able to become the winners of this time.
Fanatical fans of the two films are very enjoyable to watch, if you only want to choose a suspense fan and like the story of small people, you can choose according to your preferences, personally feel that you will not step on the thunder, all without spoilers, the biggest surprise is reserved for the theater to reveal it yourself.
And, of course, I Love You! "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers", "Memory" and other popular films, I don't know if friends who have seen them recommend it?
