"Disappearing Her": Chen Sicheng did a good job this time, creating another suspenseful masterpiece!

In recent years, the reputation of the movies that Chen Sicheng has participated in has not been ideal, but fortunately, the latest release of "Disappearing Her" has saved a little face for him.

As a suspense film, "Disappearing Her" is well completed in all aspects, although some details cannot be delved into, but at least the script and performance no longer insult the audience, which is already the best result for Chen Sicheng.

First, the plot of multiple reversals

The plot revolves around He Fei, played by Zhu Yilong, who came to an island in Southeast Asia for a vacation, and suddenly found that his wife Li Muzi was mysteriously missing, and at the same time, a strange woman broke into his world and claimed to be his wife, in order to find the truth, He Fei took the initiative to meet barrister Chen Mai, hoping to uncover the layers of fog through her help.

The script structure of this film is very complex, it borrows the processing mode of similar types of Hollywood films, with constantly throwing clues and the accompanying reversals, so that the audience's emotions are always driven by the narrative and want to get a glimpse, and when the truth is revealed, there is a sudden realization.

The most important thing in a suspense film is that it is logical and meticulous, and the story advances smoothly, for this reason, "Disappearing Her" threw a question for the audience at the beginning, why did Li Muzi disappear? And what is the purpose of a strange woman pretending to be her wife? This is not only the biggest suspense of this film, but also directly to the point.

Of course, the clever script will definitely not let the truth surface so quickly, and many times it will even be mysterious, and the same is true of this film, not only the new clues point to the possible kidnapping, but also do not forget to continue to dig, with the characters' flashing words, set off the possibility of everyone lying.

For audiences who often watch movies, especially suspense films, "Disappearing Her" is actually not difficult to guess the direction and ending of the story in the second half, after all, the film has too many abnormal places, and in the end it can only be explained by acting so that it is not so far-fetched, but domestic films can do this step, or can feel the intentions of the main creators.

Aside from many external exquisite packaging, this film is essentially a story of revenge for friends.

It allows the audience to see that once a man has a bad habit, it is difficult to turn back, even if the woman sacrifices greatly, it will only make any sacrifice become a matter of course. And if the growth environment of the husband and wife is too different, then the so-called love is likely to burst like a bubble, and the real reliable relationship is not the love of men and women, the friendship of friends, and sometimes it is more able to withstand the test of time and space.

This is the complexity of human nature, some people who seem honest on the surface may be dark inside, and the husband and wife living under the same roof may also be full of various calculations, but many times everyone is a person in the game, and the movie just amplifies the evil side of human nature, and tears it nakedly apart to show.

There is no doubt that the film chose to be released in this schedule is very wise, because the plot at the beginning is easily reminiscent of the death of a Chinese couple in Bali in May, which also reveals the security hazards and unknown criminal secrets of Southeast Asian hotels, making it very easy for audiences who understand the incident to have a sense of substitution, after all, this kind of bizarre disappearance is the easiest to arouse the curiosity of ordinary people, even if the truth is far from the truth.

This may also be an important reason for the film's box office rise, whether intentionally or coincidentally, it just grasps the hot issues in society, and with a sufficiently attractive plot and solid quality, it may become another domestic film with a box office of more than one billion this year.

Second, excellent production

Compared with special effects blockbusters, feature films need to do their homework in details, and with the blessing of Chen Sicheng's mature film industry system concept, all technical aspects of this film have basically achieved the level above the passing line.

The editing is smooth, the composition is neat, the rhythm is relaxed, and there is no discomfort in terms of look and feel, which is especially rare.

It is undeniable that in this film the audience can see the shadow of many suspense films from various countries, such as "Disappearing Lover" and "Invisible Guest", but now domestic films are still in a stage of rapid development, and it is understandable to borrow and imitate similar themes, moreover, the film still has a lot of its own ideas in terms of localization, love and hate for Southeast Asia, ensuring that domestic audiences will consciously agree that this is a story that happened to their own citizens.

Aside from the modifications made for the review, the scale of the film is quite large, some of the heavy taste plots are rare with a trace of horror film taste, the details echo before and after, increasing the fun of watching the movie, but also allowing the audience to reminisce for a long time, after all, good looks are the basic criteria for ordinary audiences to measure a movie.

3. Solid performance

In addition to the plot, several leading actors in the movie also performed well, Zhu Yilong began to perform from "Life Events" gradually took shape, this time he played He Fei with an extremely complex personality, but no matter which side is good or bad, Zhu Yilong presents a very three-dimensional appearance.

Many details and micro-expressions, such as long-term drug taking medicine and uncontrolled facial convulsions, completely different attitudes in front of and behind his wife, real fear when being chased and killed, and the dark struggle buried in his heart, Zhu Yilong can accurately grasp it, making the performance rich in layers, especially the hysteria when the truth is revealed in the second half, the emotions are full to creepy, although there are occasional overheated problems, but the overall is above the standard.

Ni Ni played by Chen Mai is not the core of the story, but also plays a pivotal role, the early stage of sassiness and ability to the later emotional explosion, Ni Ni will be a smart, heavy girlfriend image into the wood three points, she and Zhu Yilong play the most, but in the case of the role is not dominant, completely catch Zhu Yilong's play, and like a spring breeze without traces, people feel quite cordial.

Other supporting roles, the fake Li Muzi played by Wen Yongshan tries to position himself as much as possible to the "femme fatale", and the face is a little serious, and Du Jiang's whole soy sauce, basically has no room to play, fortunately, the performance of the two is not lost, and it is not dramatic.

Fourth, the future of domestic suspense films

Suspense films have always been an important part of the classification of European and American films, although domestic films also want to work hard in this aspect, but often thankless, reverse for reversal, regardless of the basic logical relationship, the result is to make suspense films into funny films, and then inopportunely add a bunch of sensational paragraphs, which makes people get goosebumps.

Suspense films are not complicated to say, no matter how imaginative the content is, but its core must have a special point, can expose the truth of society, or show human nature good and evil, but must not be completely divorced from reality, into painless, grandstanding disease-free moaning.

Among them, the most important thing is the creation of atmosphere and a meticulous story, which requires a script that is not much hard and can still move people, of course, the ability to tell a story is equally important, if the above points are met at the same time, at least the score and look and feel will not be too bad.

At present, the most lacking in domestic suspense films is a complete planning and creation system, quick success, shoddy everywhere, looking at the film industry, no matter what type of want to create a boutique is actually difficult, because that requires enough talent and ability, can manufacture assembly line works above the pass but not complicated, the real market recognition, good box office movies, but most of them will not be gods, movies as an ordinary entertainment consumer goods, too obscure, superb skills are not necessarily pleasing, after all, as an audience, grounded, Good looks are enough.
