At last year's First Film Festival, a dark horse was killed. This year, this dark horse was released, but it was said to be the self-congratulatory of fans and industry insiders.
As a movie that touches the porcelain "Detective" and benchmarks "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop", the self-proclaimed comedy component of this dark horse is a little too cold.
I haven't seen this kind of "pure love" movie for a long time, I met for the first time in the cinema one second, and I was fused in bed the next second. It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of ultra-long sketch movie with multiple methods and contents. After I finished watching it, I felt like I watched a super long part-time job Vlog, as if I was playing it.
To be honest, you have to look at everything with a dialectical eye. This is really a little life advice I gave myself after watching this film.
Hey, I can't say it's bad, but it's really not good enough. It's "Galaxy Writer".
【1】
The current degree of polarization in "Galaxy Writer" is relatively obvious, which is certainly not difficult to predict.
In the era of short videos, "Galaxy Writer" used an almost short video technique to arrange a nearly 2-hour movie, which made people feel very sad.
Because I really can't imagine that the stalk of "pay attention, this woman's name is Xiaomei" will appear in the feature film of a movie, really, it's not good.
This is the main and supporting role group, Zhang Yi and Sun Tan played by Song Muzi and He Wenjun are the protagonists, and the others are supporting roles.
However, the role of the supporting cast is also important, and the important thing I mean is that there is an element of dominance in the whole rhythm.
Forget it, let's change the word, the side plot. The two protagonists are like two supporting characters in a large-scale side plot.
I almost forgot, there are two key female supporting roles.
The supporting cast mainly takes place in the following branches.
Side A: Supporting Character A and Supporting Character B turned out to be a couple, but Supporting Character B cheated on Supporting Character C, and Supporting Character ABC had been a good friend of the protagonist until he knew about it.
It's not that I'm saying that cheating is not right at all.
Branch B: Supporting characters D and Zhang Yi met during a screening of a Nolan movie, which can be roughly summarized as follows, from ticket issuance to peer to bed, only one sentence is needed, you don't go.
Damn, what the hell? Supporting character D really didn't leave?
Since then, as a girlfriend, he and Zhang Yi have each done their own screenwriting careers, one is entangled in dreams, the other serves Party A, and the supporting role D first became a famous and surnamed screenwriter of the Internet University.
The first sword on the shore is to cut the person you want first. Well chopped, beauty, what do you like about Zhang?
Branch C: Supporting role e originally took over the project for Zhang Yi and Sun Tan, and he won hundreds of thousands of screenwriter bonuses, and he seems to be the most popular person in the entire small group.
On his 30th birthday, he suddenly went lame and invited a young actor with a bright smile to the running field at the birthday party, and the little actor committed suicide the next day.
This inexplicable paragraph is a bit like the director is adding some inexplicable explanations to his own inexplicability, and if you really don't understand this sentence, it doesn't hurt, you just remember this inexplicable.
After talking about the inexplicable supporting cast group, let's break the metronome and talk about the two mourning protagonists, I haven't seen such a mournful protagonist in the cinema for a long time.
Zhang Yi, a hot-blooded screenwriter, and his good buddy Sun Tan wrote a script called "Seven Seconds Man".
We don't know how awesome this script is, and we haven't seen it, anyway, I almost got cheated after selling it once, and I changed it for a year after selling it for the second time, but it didn't work out.
Let's just say, how can ordinary workers withstand such a long period of destruction?
For such a vertical industry film, we look at it dialectically, a good script has to be polished, although I am not a screenwriter, what I say may be a little offensive.
But the details polished by these two little screenwriters in this movie are not vivid enough, and I think they have to at least make a black face to have a meeting with Party A to be worthy of Party A's good intentions.
Don't talk about work and life, life is also a mess, the possibility of success is not great, but the potential for failure is obvious, I can't say it anymore, I always have to leave something else for me to praise two sentences to be worthy of the ticket money.

Although these two people have not made much progress after a year of polishing, Zhang Yi has a few key scenes that are actually quite touching to a certain extent.
What impressed me the most was the last time they changed the script. Zhang Yi was unkempt every day, rummaging around in the rental house to revise the "Seven Seconds Man".
Not to mention this perfect interpretation of forgetting to sleep and eat, the absurd atmosphere of the scene where he walked into the ice and snow in big pants to throw garbage is really full.
Why is this paragraph good, because in this content, as his partner, Sun Tan did not appear in the director's lens throughout the whole process.
We can only see a person in shorts who frantically changes the script, and all the concepts of time are weakened in this paragraph. And the stingy breath that Coke spilled seems daily and natural, and smoothly explains the time to us.
After this paragraph, the script was changed, and Party A issued a good person card after reading it.
Zhang was angry, pointed at Party A's nose and began to scold, to be honest, it is quite angry for the workers here, but it is indeed a little too reckless. But here I opened my eyes and made it clear that I was a little ant who regarded himself as a great screenwriter.
looks down on commercial film directors, and feels that his film must be directed and filmed, and it has to be a director of Lou Ye and Nolan to match him.
After this quarrel, I directly understood that the talent I have always been proud of is actually something that is not worth mentioning in other people's mouths.
This is a perfect interpretation of the darkest moment of a Nolan fan. Indeed, when you meet a good soulmate, talent is talent. met Party A who disagreed, talent is utopian.
Then there was the most controversial performance of "lying in bed and writing the script without a real object" in the whole film, which is a very climactic part according to the metronome that the director's director disrupted.
Lying down, tapping on a virtual keyboard, he wrote down all kinds of unrealistic possibilities for his life.
It's like I sometimes lie in bed and expect me to get rich tomorrow, putting aside the content of this virtual script, Song Muzi's acting skills are really good.
But this kind of film must be about gender antagonism, and I don't fully agree with it.
We have watched and written a lot of films about feminism, and the female portrayal of this film can be regarded as a true reflection of men's subjective thinking for women.
The reason why the male condensation is very strong is not surprising, because Song Muzi is such a person who centers on his male perspective, and he thinks that his awesomeness can naturally attract women, although many viewers don't understand why they are attracted at all.
From the logical point of view of human nature, whether he is a friend, partner, Party A or lover, he has a kind of machismo upward and downward "compatibility", in fact, if you think about it carefully, there are not a few such ordinary men in life.
From the point of view of life, these things are very logical, and you can't expect such a man who was originally like this to be suddenly perfected in the movie.
Because I have always believed that a good creator's creative perspective must be pulled between the sexes.
To be honest, this kind of self-congratulatory arrangement, in such an absurd comedy, you can't tell whether it's self-deprecation or something else.

In fact, after watching this movie, Uncle Pa has always felt that the core is not chicken blood, nor is it what it originally wanted to express in those works that "touched porcelain".
It says one thing, people have to accept their failures. It's so important to say it from the shell of comedy.
But this movie starts from the structure and plot, and it can't support such a big core.
It is a sincere film, but at the same time it has a very strong childishness, and there is nothing wrong with this kind of ambition that is higher than the sky, and it is not bad to express it from this absurd technique.
Its easter egg magnitude is almost a feature film, and I really didn't expect it when I watched it. This is perhaps the only video record of "Seven Seconds Man" that we can see in the world.
No matter how good the work is, it can't definitely satisfy every audience, and its release has hammered to death a batch of films of this genre that are destined to have a large number of fans.
When I went to see this movie in the cinema, an old guy sitting in front of me laughed more excitedly than I did at the key laughing point. As for whether I am the vertical audience of this film, I can say bluntly, no.
It's harmless, such a big galaxy, so many writers, writing, patting, someone will always pay for this kind of high-spiritedness.
What's more, I've written so many movies, why am I not a galactic writer?
