Xingye once said that I made a tragedy but you must not say that it is a comedy, but looking at Xingye's movie, it is not difficult to look closely and find that there is not only a tribute to the classic, but also a lot of thought-provoking connotations, and the original intention of this film is not only to appeal to the public welfare but also to the expression of the lover.
The ocean is our common home for human beings, it not only provides us with the necessary oxygen for survival, but also gives birth to countless lives, on land human best friend is dogs, their cute character and loyal attitude are loved by humans, and there is also a cute animal in the ocean, they are naughty but very friendly with humans, they are dolphins. But in 2009, a documentary refreshed all mankind with three views, that is, Douban's 9.3 points of "Dolphin Bay", with their real lens to reveal the truth of the cruel slaughter of dolphins in a small fishing village in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, about tens of thousands of dolphins are buried here every year, although this move has been opposed by the world, but Japan still eats dolphins and insists on defending this tradition. Such a classic documentary naturally can not escape the eyes of Xingye, Xingye saw the film after the heart of the mixed feelings, there is anger, pity, unwillingness, and helplessness, as a filmmaker he thinks he should appeal to the public, but Xingye is not willing to express himself, so the idea of shooting a movie came into being.
But what subject matter to shoot has become a problem, left and right thinking about it, he still can't escape the knot, he thinks of his beloved, she not only loves diving but also played a mermaid, only because she loves the story of mermaids, she has left the world, then shoot a mermaid for her and her beloved ocean. The lover who haunts Xingye's soul is the pain of Xingye's life, "Luo Huijuan", who thinks of the "Dolphin Bay" picture in his heart, and in this state, the script of "Mermaid" was born.
The script was completed, but finding actors became a problem, at first Xingye originally wanted Luo Zhixiang to play the leading role, but Luo Zhixiang still did not dare to act after thinking left and right, and then finally found Deng Chao, who has a high funny talent under the continuous choice of Xingye. Since it was the first time to cooperate, Deng Chao was also very excited to get the appreciation of Xingye, and the two often talked late at night for an untiring confrontation, which lasted even a month. During the filming, Xingye not only took Deng Chao to eat all over Hong Kong food but also gave him a bottle of 79 years of wine, to know that Deng Chao was born in 79 years, it can be said that Xingye is very careful. And Xingye's carefulness is not only that, the day of the release of "Mermaid" is February 8, and this day is not only Deng Chao's birthday is also the day when he and Sun Li receive the certificate, it can be said that in terms of details, Xingye is indeed dead. Before entering the group, Deng Chao also heard that Xingye filming was very harsh, and he was also afraid of it, but after entering the group, he found that Xingye was not as imagined, not only was he very easy-going, but also had his own unique insights in filming, which also made the atmosphere of the crew very harmonious.
Although Luo Zhixiang did not play the main role but starred in the image of the octopus, in fact, this role was originally created by Xingye for himself, but because Xingye had donated bone marrow before, and the weather was cold when shooting, he was very afraid of cold, so he gave this role to Luo Zhixiang. However, in the movie, Luo Zhixiang's performance is personally guided by Xingye, so it is not difficult to find that Luo Zhixiang this time seems to be much more funny than in "Journey to the West", some expressions are very shadowy of Xingye, and there are even rumors that Luo Zhixiang will inherit the mantle of Xingye, and the octopus he plays in the movie is indeed funny.
The biggest highlight in the movie should be the two heroines, one sexy and charming figure is hot, the person chasing her even queues up to Paris, and the other is indeed a silly girl who is young and cute and full of youthful atmosphere, the appearance of these two is estimated to have satisfied all the male audiences, right? No matter which one you like, we have here, and Zhang Yuqi can play the movie of Xingye is indeed surprising, before the two had a dispute due to contract issues, but for the effect of the film, Xingye can only call her, but did not expect Zhang Yuqi to happily agree, compared to Huang Shengyi, who also made a contract contradiction before, is a star girl and has such a opposite ending. Because Zhang Yuqi is halfway into the group, she completely obeys the arrangement after entering the group, so that the end of the shooting did not understand the story content of the whole movie, and the pure and lovely mermaid Lin Yun was selected from 120,000 people, is a strictly selected "star girl", and the reason she was selected is because the star master thinks she is very "original", which may be a kind of youth and beauty without decoration.
Because it is the first time to act, Xingye can only patiently teach her by hand, whether it is posture or expression is the result of Xingye's patience teaching, although the final performance of Lin Yun on the screen is still in place, but in fact, when shooting, she usually has to shoot dozens of shots, and one of the scenes with Deng Chao eating chicken is filmed more than 1,000, so that later Deng Chao saw the chicken like vomiting. And Xingye also ridiculed, this is fortunately not film shooting or he has long been bankrupt, thanks to the digital age to save Xingye, when filming this scene, originally only wrapped half of the playground venue, but some tourists always come to make trouble, there is no way to fans, Star Ye can not drive away, and finally can only wrap the whole playground to make the shooting go smoothly. After the shooting, Xingye even took the whole crew to play hard in the playground, almost playing all the facilities, after all, it cost money. But what you may not expect is that there is really a real boss among the big guys in the movie, he is carrying a flying machine to attend Zheng Zong, and Zheng Zong carries a flying machine in the room The scene we all think that this is a special effect, yes, it is indeed a special effect, but the special effect is not a flying machine but Zheng Zong, and the picture of the aircraft flying is really taken.
Although the film as a whole is very brilliant, but the two cameo actors have become a classic that is still in use, this is the article playing the policeman in the film and Li Shangzheng, the bridge section of the two laughing people is still the usual stem of the short video platform, I did not expect that the cameo of only three minutes has become the essence of the whole piece, especially in the mermaid's painting is also amazing, and these paintings are actually from the hand of Xingye. But you may not know, in fact, in the movie, Star Ye also participated, and the sound of the old mermaid sleeping and snoring in the film is the sound recorded by Star Ye himself. In the end, after the mermaid was released, the large-scale production with a 300 million investment won 3 billion box office, and the investors also made a lot of money, and for Star Ye's films, his consistent style is to express tragedy with comedy. When Xingye was young, there was a girl who loved him and even wanted to marry him, this girl was Luo Huijuan, and the filming location of the film in Shenzhen dapeng Bay was actually the place where Luo Huijuan's ashes were scattered after her death.
Although the person has passed away, but Xingye's heart still can't forget her, the song "Invincible" in the movie has a lyric written: Can she hide in the sky and listen to me, my loneliness, endless loneliness. This is actually more of Xingye's inner monologue, but some people say that Xingye does not love Luo Huijuan more about himself, just like the classic line in "Journey to the West": There was once a sincere love in front of him and did not cherish it. The youth of that year missed a beautiful marriage, but even if you continue to tell her love in the movie, you did not cherish it when she was alive, she has become the wife of others, and now she is no longer alive, even if you tell her more, she can't see it, and the current love is like this. There is no fit in this world, only cherish or not to cherish, do not wait until we lose it to regret it, may we all cherish the present, cherish the most loved people in front of us, and hope that we human beings can be like in the movie, cherish the gifts of the ocean to stop the cruel killing, this is not only the earth that belongs to human beings, but the earth where thousands of creatures live together, may we cherish love, cherish the homeland, cherish everything in front of us, and treat our homeland with a grateful attitude.
