Time Contributor | Gummies bears
Don't walk gently into that good night.
In the fiercely competitive Dragon Boat Festival, there is a domestic suspense film that is far ahead of the box office.
The brain-burning suspense atmosphere is full, and the details of the horror are sweaty, and they are reversed until the last second of the film.
After watching the trailer, Time Jun wants to say that this time there is a good show again——
"Disappearing Her"
The suspense is full
"Disappearing Her" is the third remake produced by Chen Sicheng after "Manslaughter" and "Manslaughter 2".
Looking at the title, it is very easy to think of the classic suspense film "Gone Lover" directed by David Fincher. But unfortunately, it is not.
"Disappearing Her" is adapted from the former Soviet film "The Trap for the Bachelor", and the original work itself is not an original story, but an adaptation of the French play of the same name in 1960.
Whether it is a movie or a drama, it is based on comedy, and "Gone Her" is completely different.
After reading the trailer, you will find that after the screenwriter's bold adaptation, the new film focuses on suspense, carefully thinking about various details of the terrifying, and even making people sweat.
The story begins with a couple traveling to Southeast Asia to celebrate their wedding anniversary. But just a few days after arriving there, the husband He Fei found that his wife was missing.
He panicked to call the police, but was rejected due to language barriers and lack of time to disappear. In the desperate moment of repeatedly hitting a wall, a beautiful woman appeared in front of He Fei.
She said that her name was Li Muzi and that she was He Fei's wife.
The information she provided was also confirmed by the police, and the disappearance turned into an oolong.
Only He Fei himself insisted that he did not know this woman, and the other party was not his wife at all.
The fog rose flat, and everyone present entered the game.
Who is the werewolf and who is lying? Can the detective be credible and can the police rely on it?
Judging from the amount of information revealed by the preview alone, this game is not simple.
Let's look at Li Muzi, who returned mysteriously.
The husband denied it, but he took out the official identification. In the mobile phone, there are also intimate photos of the two during vacation.
In front of people, she is a good wife who cares about her husband.
Struggling to ask her mentally unstable husband to recognize him, stop taking medication, and even cry out "I'm wrong, don't hit me."
Later, she always put on an unfathomable femme fatale face, behaving strangely, so frightened that she exclaimed "she wants to kill me"!
But is Hefei, as a "victim", really completely innocent?
Pushing, hitting, neck stucking... In the trailer, there are more than one horrific pictures of him committing violence against Li Muzi.
Reactions such as irritability, facial twitches, and night sweats also indicate that the person is most likely to have a mental illness.
The large number of Van Gogh paintings seems to suggest that he is likely to suffer from bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder like Van Gogh.
Pay attention to the drug he takes, triazolam tablets, the main sedation and hypnosis, highly addictive, and easy to produce dangerous behaviors such as sleepwalking during taking.
Is it taking medication to suppress the condition, or is it overdose that causes mental illness?
Police said, "Your wife has been protecting you". Could it be that the weird pictures he saw were just hallucinations caused by illness?
On the other hand, Chen Mai, the gold-medal lawyer He Fei relies on, is not a simple role.
has become a leader in the industry, but he wants to take such a troublesome and tricky case as He Fei and Li Muzi.
The legend of the "secret door in the fitting room" told to He Fei does it imply anything to the other party?
When He Fei said, "You are with them", Muzi and Chen Mai's faces constantly overlapped.
Could it be that everything is a trap set by their joint efforts?
Anyone can lie, and all strange behavior can be an illusion in the eyes of others.
What is the truth, I am afraid that only when the theater sits until the last second can you break through the confusion and suddenly realize.
The skin of suspense, "Disappearing Her" is beautifully woven enough.
The bones of the actors, carefully explored, also have their own wonderful.
"Drama" is full
Since it is a werewolf killing, the test is naturally the acting skills of the players entering the market.
No. 1 player Zhu Yilong, who once played a triangle in the TV series "Town Soul", broke the circle by his acting skills and became a powerful actor who has attracted much attention in recent years.
After starring in several blockbuster dramas such as "Know No", "Reboot of the Extreme Sea Listening Thunder" and "Rebel", he began to try to move to the big screen.
In "Life Events" released last year, Mo Sanmei, a marginal character who is ruffled and exported dirty, is reluctant to take over the ancestral funeral business under the negative pressure of life, but in the parting of life and death, he gradually understands the heavy weight of the profession of undertaker.
The complex, delicate and changeable performance helped Zhu Yilong win the Golden Rooster Award in one fell swoop, saving enough confidence for appearing on the big screen in the future.
As far as the trailer is concerned, this role is another challenge for Zhu Yilong's acting skills.
Although it is not one person with many horns, it is multifaceted enough.
In front of the police and lawyers, he was a husband who could not find a wife, always in a flustered, helpless and fearful posture, and repeatedly stressed to people that there was no problem with his spirit.
When he was anxious to take medicine, he could see a large number of traces of physiological reactions in him: widened eyes, nervous convulsions, and trembling of facial features, which was completely the appearance of the disease.
When alone with a strange wife, he is more impulsive and violent, and his eyes are full of fierce hatred.
During the filming process, Zhu Yilong also integrated his personal habits into the characters in order to achieve a more realistic presentation effect.
Pathetic, hateful, pathetic.
The truth behind He Fei is really exciting.
No. 2 player Ni Ni, debuted as a "Mou Girl". Not only "moving people with faces", but also good at "convincing people with drama".
Compared with Zhu Yilong, who once played the triangle by himself, she played three lifetimes of sadomasochism in "Chen Xiyuan", and her acting skills are also not reluctant.
Chen Mai, a lawyer played by Ni Ni in the film, is He Fei's lifesaver and an important figure who helps the audience solve a series of mysteries.
Her clean short hair style and always calm and calm professional attitude have made her the anchor in the entire film.
However, judging from the trailer, Chen Mai seems to be hiding many unknown secrets behind him.
It can't help but make people wonder if Ni Ni will also have an unexpected contrast at the end of the film.
No. 3 player Wen Yongshan has been nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards twice in the past.
In "Manslaughter 2", the mother Ah Ling, who is quiet and weak, but has the firmness and toughness that is willing to give everything for her children.
The important role of "her" in "Disappearing Her" is also the main "two-faced".
When he is concerned about his husband's condition and persuades the other party to stop taking medicine, he is a worried husband, a good wife of virtuous and virtuous virtue.
At the same time, she can also say threatening words to He Fei without changing her face, and smash her head with a wine bottle with a smile.
It is obviously a charming beauty dressed in red, but it can always make people's hearts chill and creepy.
In addition, there is a No. 4 player Du Jiang who is easy to overlook in the trailer.
Zheng Cheng, a Chinese policeman played by him, was also involved in the mysterious disappearance of his wife.
The shooting that flashed in the trailer did not know if it was related to him. How did he make the judgment that "Li Muzi has been protecting He Fei"?
The case is complicated, the drama is fine, who will spend the MVP?
See it in the theater.
Reverse brilliant
In fact, Time Jun's expectations for this film are largely due to the praise it has received at the film festival.
Before its official release, "Disappearing Her" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Beijing International Film Festival and won the highest score in the venue.
At the same time, it is also the closing film of the Hainan International Film Festival, and many comments after the screening called the film "suspenseful" and "brilliant reversal".
In addition, it is also a remake, but "Disappearing Her" is more shrewd in the choice of the original.
"The Trap for the Bachelor" is niche and unpopular, and it is difficult to search for its scaly claws on the whole network, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of the audience knowing the story line in advance.
Those who are interested by the trailer can only go to the theater to find out.
Since the success of the "Northern Love" and "Detective Chinatown" series, Chen Sicheng has begun to try to shift from director to producer, continue to cultivate the field of domestic suspense, support young directors, and help outstanding newcomers quickly have their own commercial works.
The same is true of "Disappearing Her" this time.
Although the two films in the "Manslaughter" series with amazing box office results of 1.333 billion and 1.121 billion, represent the recognition of him by ordinary audiences.
Of course, there is a credit for the fascinating story of the original work, but the Indian film and the American film are remade into domestic suspense films, and there is no phenomenon of water and soil dissatisfaction, which is very popular with domestic audiences, at least indicating that the localization adaptations of the two "Manslaughter" are very clever.
For example, "Manslaughter" adds more details and logic to the original work, making the male protagonist's behavior of concealing the sky more feasible and convincing.
The injustice brought about by the caste system in the original film has also been adapted as a struggle between ordinary people and public power, sublimating personal grievances to the public level that reflects the current social situation, which can resonate more with Chinese audiences.
"Manslaughter 2" is more bold, changing the traditional narrative of the original to a non-linear narrative to increase the suspense of the film.
The theme was adapted from exposing the imperfections of the US health care system to criticizing and ridiculing the privileged class. It is also to introduce highly discussed social issues into the film to accurately grasp the pain points of local audiences.
This time "Disappearing Her" changed the comedy to suspense, and the fundamental tone of the film is different from the original.
The core of the story will also be closely related to new hot topics such as "missing persons in Southeast Asia" and "female mutual aid". If nothing else, I believe there will be another wave of social media discussions.
Looking at Chen Sicheng's career trajectory in the past ten years, you will find that he is always challenging new types and making new attempts.
original story, supported by the "Detective Chinatown" universe; The remake of the movie is also gradually reducing its dependence on the original work and finding its own domestic suspense road.
Can "Gone Her" lay a new solid foundation for the next step in this attempt?
We'll see.
