Song Jia's previous "love affair with Zhu Yawen" in "The Poet" is extremely impressive, and the domestic power faction popular actress who can make people's blood veins in the erotic drama performance is probably Song Jia alone.
This time in "Calm Wind and Waves", the CP composed of Zhang Yu and Song Jia made many viewers shed a tear of heartache, how long has it not been on the big screen by such a kind and sincere end-of-life love? The last time this happened, in the personal list of films, it may still be Tang Wei and Hyun Bin's Korean film "Late Autumn". The two reunite at the toll booth, oolong, lock in a lifetime event, so that the sweetness of the entire toll station is extremely warmed up, in order to balance the other half of the film or calculated or crushed murder storm.
In the first half of the film, Zhang Yu uses the perfect acting skills visible to the naked eye to restrain his emotions. The horror that left only a few words, the fierceness of guarding and suppressing oneself flowed from the eyes, paving the way for the explosion of the second half of the "original form". This is the beginning of the best era of male actors. The stubble left behind has become natural, the silence of the years tells the past life story on the face, and the woman who is sent to the door knows how to classify and deal with it, but still has a longing ambition and an undercurrent of surging physique.
It is gratifying that Song Jia finally got rid of the widow's life of the dark department on the screen, and this time she can finally be a beautiful goddess of love who uses love to recall hope. She really had the grace of re-creation for Zhang Yuna. Several "umbrella" scenes, innovative enough at the point, are the skills of directors and screenwriters. It is Song Jia's skill to play umbrella for Zhang Yu, lean on the front of his car, smile in a red dress under the street lamp, laugh bravely with a cheeky smile, and invite him into her life with a plump and brisk and stretched posture.
The beauty of Song Jia in this film is the kind of brave beauty that a woman, who suddenly hears her own heartbeat, so she bets with all her courage, so she laughs frankly and proudly, so there is a rare Song Jia who is more delicate than Hua Jiao.
At first sight, Zhang Yu, like Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, sailed into the small town where he absconded as a teenager, either actively or passively bringing wind and rain. And Song Jia was the pause level that surprised him. Then Zhang Yu went to recognize the daughter of the victim of manslaughter, to meet the good brother who had robbed him of his future, to meet the father who compromised his rights, married another wife, and gave birth to another child. He originally chose to flee, give up hatred and cruelty, and continue to go far away, letting his body and mind wander.
However, at the toll gate where he left the city, Song Jia put down the oolong gate, broke his windshield, and directly broke the window into his heart. Song Jia was clothed with the light of the god of love, and gave Zhang Yu the best comfort in the shortest possible time for fifteen years. If people want to hear their own hearts, don't listen to what they say, but look at what they do subconsciously. Song Jia asks Zhang Yu to buy her yogurt, a toll booth, Zhang Yu put down the yogurt, and found that he could no longer go far away.
He passed the checkpoint, parked the car, and brought yogurt to Song Jia alone, and then he wanted to marry Song Jia. This is a scene that makes people feel comfortable and natural, and the nose is sour. This is the opening moment of a silent man who carved a stone statue of a bodhisattva and found his own goddess in this world. Then he stupidly pestle at the toll booth window, subconsciously help Song Jia pass the pass card to the driver who passed by, take the yogurt that Song Jia drank, take a sip, through the car window, kiss her, let the yogurt be shared in the kiss.
The one-shot treatment is heart-warming and prolongs the aftertaste period. Let the audience who have been through the highway toll booth many times, can't help but stop and think, how many people in the world will help pass the pass card with a smirk that has just successfully proposed, and how many kisses in the world will happen in the glass window that only passes invoices and cash?
Regarding the toll booth movie, the Taiwanese film "The Island of The River" directed by Zhan Jinglin the year before, the heroine is also a toll station waiter, and the ambiguous emotional drama between the disabled male protagonist and the female protagonist played by Zheng Renshuo is unforgettable. In recent years, Taiwan has just canceled the toll station "artificial" site, the platform does not have a beautiful smile, cold machine scanning, many people because of their layoffs, not rich in the past bustle and human feelings. Just like the demolition of old houses, the nostalgia of the building cannot go back, and the smiling faces of the toll booths are difficult to meet. I don't know if director Li Xiaofeng set the role of Song Jia as a toll booth staff for this reason, and Zhang Yu's reunion is like the confluence of two strangers at an intersection, paying tribute to the artificial toll booth that has passed away in the complicated new world.
After "Maiden Nezha" and "Tracking", Li Xiaofeng contributed a crime genre film that is different from the past and in the same vein. Rhythm control is better than ever, and emotional relationships and character building are remarkable. Whether it was at last year's Shanghai Film Festival or the Pingyao International Film Festival in recent years, it is also a dazzling feature film in many art films. Although the title of the film is "Calm Wind and Waves", but in fact, the film is surging and twisting, giving people a deafening and deafening human nature at the end, in the current theater, it is a good film with outstanding production and quality.
In the post-screening exchange, Song Jia shared her understanding of the role with the audience, "Pan Xiaoshuang is full of female strength and female beauty, and is a very light and beautiful character." The love between Pan Xiaoshuang and Song Hao in the play is a warm light under the extreme darkness, and Song Jia herself also said that she was touched by the love at the end of the play. At the premiere ceremony, Song Jia and Zhang Yu had a full sense of CP, and staged "ear killing" in a low conversation, so that the audience called out too sweet.
