Not long ago, when Jackie Chan's crew was filming "Strange Family" in Jiangxia, Wuhan, due to filming needs, the road was closed for a period of time, and the residents were inconvenient to travel and the staff had conflicts.
In fact, as early as 3 years ago, Zhang Guoli's new film "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" was also closed when it was filmed in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, and it was even more ruthless than Jackie Chan at that time.
After three years, "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" is finally going to meet the audience.
Recently, the filmmaker updated the latest scheduled information of the film: it will be released nationwide on May 17.
At the same time, the first trailer and related posters were released, and Brother Brown predicted that the box office of this film would be 500 million according to known materials, and the specific analysis is as follows:
First, the main creator.
"Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" is directed by the veteran drama bone Zhang Guoli, and the two cast members invited are also very heavy, the actor Fan Wei and the heroine Zhou Dongyu, both of whom have won the actor and actress.
Zhang Guoli is too familiar to us, there are many masterpieces in the early years, whether it is a small screen or a big screen, Zhang Guoli can stand alone, such as "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", "Golden Wedding", "Mobile Phone", "A Sigh", "1942" and so on.
Actor Fan Wei grew up with Zhao Benshan in his early years, and was later photographed by Feng Xiaogang and starred in many Feng's New Year films.
Another point is that Fan Wei's popularity is very good, many people in the circle are willing to ask him to film, and the roles portrayed have also been recognized by the audience.
Films such as "Ears Are Blessed" and "Not a Problem" starring him have become big winners in the awards season and won many awards, and last year's "The Long Season" was even more popular.
Not to mention Zhou Dongyu, which one will be worse than Zhang Yimou's fancy?
Representative works include "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", "July and Ansheng", "Young You", etc., the actress got a soft hand, and more importantly, she also has box office appeal.
With a good creative team, the quality will be guaranteed, and with word of mouth, will the box office be less?
Second, the story.
Lao Qin, played by Fan Wei, is a person who has been released from prison after completing his sentence, committed a crime in his 20s, has been in twice, serving a total of 30 years in prison, and was 56 years old when he was released from prison.
Fortunately, the house in his hometown was demolished, and he received a demolition payment of 1.5 million yuan, his parents died early, and Lao Qin's ideology was that there were three unfilial ones, and no queen was great, so he wanted to use the money to find a daughter-in-law and have a baby.
So, he went to the marriage agency, but he didn't expect the other party to introduce him to Immortal Jump, so what should I do?
At this time, Lao Qin had a flash of inspiration, and it was difficult to find a normal object, so he went to try his luck outside the women's prison.
In this way, Lao Qin, who was holding a marriage sign, met Chang Juan (played by Zhou Dongyu), who had just been released from prison, and the 26-year-old Chang Juan agreed to Lao Qin's request.
So what are you waiting for, get married.
The story is very novel, and the hero and heroine have abnormal life experiences, which leaves the audience with huge suspense, how should this marriage end?
The plot in "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" has whetted the audience's appetite, and they all want to go into the theater to find out, and it is logical that the box office will rise.
III. Analysis.
It is divided into the following points:
Start by parsing the real story plan.
"Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" is based on a novel in the "True Story Project", which has a hard and fast rule: it must be original and must be non-fiction.
The author Xia Long also made it clear that this is a non-fiction story, without making up characters and plots, and even the scenes and details of the story have been realistically restored.
The theme of the film is to reflect the real problems of society, as well as the fate and humanity of special people.
Then analyze the title of the film "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain".
This idiom is a neutral word, which literally means clouds in the morning and rain in the evening.
The idiom allusion comes from the Warring States Chu Song Yu "Gao Tang Fu": "The concubine is in the sun of Wushan, the obstruction of the high hills, Dan is the morning cloud, and the twilight is the rain." Morning and twilight, under the balcony. ”
It also has a synonym called Wushan Yunyu, which refers to coming and going without a trace.
In this movie, "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" is actually about the marriage that was clearly promised, why it suddenly changed hexagrams.
In other words, the character played by the heroine Zhou Dongyu will run away.
Then this will involve a special group of people cheating on marriage.
Finally, Fan Wei and Zhou Dongyu's prenuptial agreement is analyzed.
The terms of a prenuptial agreement are divided into two points:
First, the woman should give birth to offspring for the man;
Second, the man wants to give the woman a bride price of 184,400 yuan.
This marriage has no emotional basis, the man is 56 years old, the woman is 26 years old, the age gap is very large, and the mutual use is directly written in the prenuptial agreement.
Another poster also reads: He asks for a son, she asks for money.
Combined with the title of the film, it is not difficult for us to analyze the result: Chang Juan took away the bride price and disappeared.
What is more interesting is that the bride price number is 184,400 yuan, and the bride price when you get married will generally ask for an auspicious number, such as 8,888 yuan, 18,888 yuan, or 188888 yuan.
And what does Chang Juan mean when he wants 184,400 yuan?
Some netizens said that it may be Chang Juan's prison uniform worker number, and some people said that it is three ages: 18 years old, 44 years old and children born in 00.
Brother Brown believes that after Chang Juan ran away, Lao Qin would definitely look for his wife for thousands of miles, and finally discovered Chang Juan's secret past, and used it as a flashpoint to explore the human nature behind the bloody and tearful past.
It is very likely to be traced back to Chang Juan between the ages of 14 and 18, why did she go to prison?
It could be miserable!
IV. Conclusion.
The producer of "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" is Han Sanping, and the literary director is Liu Zhenyun, which has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the "Temple of Heaven Award" at the 14th Beijing International Film Festival, and will meet you in advance in Beiying in April.
If there is no problem with word-of-mouth, it is still easy to achieve a box office of 500 million.
I believe that Zhang Guoli has this ability!
In any case, the trailer and poster of "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" were very successful.
The audience wants to know what the final mystery is?
