The war blockbuster "Eight Hundred", released in late August, topped the 2020 global box office with nearly 3 billion box office, carrying the first banner of bailout during the epidemic.
After "Creed", films such as "Win the Championship", "Vanguard", "Jiang Ziya", "My Hometown and Me" continued to relay the National Day file.
After these films, the appearance of a crime film scheduled for November 6 is a thrill:
"Calm Wind and Waves"
To say that many people notice this movie, in large part because of a name —
Huang Bo.
As one of the works of Huang Bo's "hb+u new director assistance plan", this time Huang Bo, as a producer, deeply participated in film creation and gave new directors help.
In addition to Huang Bo, the production team of the film is still relatively guaranteed.
Director Li Xiaofeng, who has participated in the production of Lu Chuan's "Coco Xili", directed his debut "Maiden Nezha" was shortlisted for the Golden Horse Film Festival, and the second "Ashes Reborn" was also shortlisted for the Pingyao International Film Festival, is a director with great potential.
The music is played by fumiko, a well-known music producer and national first-class composer, who has previously been the soundtrackist for films such as "Daytime Fireworks" and "Carnival".
In addition, there are also photographer Park Song-il ("Over the Spring"), editor Zhang Qi ("Fanghua", "Evil Does Not Pressure the Right"), art director Zhong Cheng ("A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind") and so on.
It can be seen that the films produced by the entire production team are biased towards literary and artistic films, and from the presentation of the trailer, the picture and music have a good texture, and the atmosphere is in place.
With a good production team, the film's starring cast is also full of acting.
If the 32-year-old Huang Bo in "Crazy Stone" counts as "a generation of yellow hair", then the 36-year-old Zhang Yu, who quickly became popular because of "I am not a medicine god", can be called a "second generation of yellow hair".
Zhang Yu, whose acting experience is similar to Huang Bo's, played a series of small roles after his debut in 2005, from "The Elephant Sits on the Ground" to "The Unknown Generation", and he is extremely malleable and finally ushered in a big explosion in his acting career in recent years.
There is also Xiao SongJia, who takes the "Big Qingyi" route, Wang Yanhui, who has cooperated with Zhang Yu three times, Li Hongqi, the "male god of literary and art films", and Deng Enxi, a new generation of actresses who deserve attention, all of whom are actors with a very "sense of movie".
As a crime film, the film follows a realistic style, and the overall tone is heavy and depressing.
The film mainly focuses on the protagonist Song Hao, played by Zhang Yu, telling the story of a series of changes such as the replacement of the guaranteed quota and the murder of the hand, and he returned to his hometown after 15 years in exile, but revealed the secret story of the year.
Judging from the trailer, the film should mainly revolve around Zhang Yu's three relationship lines.
01. Classmate Relationship - Substitute Examination
In the film, Zhang Yu, a "first-class student" in the third year of high school, was replaced by a good brother, and the good brother here should be the rich second generation played by Li Hongqi.
However, he wanted to go to theorize, but he mistakenly entered someone else's house, was treated as a thief by the drunken owner, the two wrestled, and Zhang Yu killed manslaughter.
The boy in the green school uniform in the trailer should be Zhang Yu's high school period, and because of this, the superior student who was supposed to have a bright future became an outlaw.
It can be seen that the plots involved in the film, such as "escort being replaced" and "high school student manslaughter", are easy to think of real events such as the "substitute examination case" in reality, and presumably there will be a strong realistic orientation.
02. Paternity – Chinese Parenthood
Zhang Yubao's quota was replaced, which seems to have a great relationship with the strict father played by Wang Yanhui.
Wang Yanhui, who worked under Li Hongqi's father and son, passively exchanged his son's future for a promotion for his own selfish interests.
More critically, Wang Yanhui and Zhang Yu together constitute a "father-son murder case":
"We're grasshoppers tied to a rope."
From what Wang Yanhui said to Zhang Yu in the film:
"Song Hao, you are an adult, for me, the brain can not be messed up."
And Zhang Yu from obeying his father's command to the final self-collapse, the father does not know the son does not know the father, there seems to be a deep gap between father and son.
In the trailer, Zhang Yu and Li Hongqi sit in a car and crash and kill a person, and that person seems to be Zhang Yu's father, from father to son, involving contradictions between the two generations.
03. Romantic relationships – the last straw
As Zhang Yu's former classmate, Song Jia, who dared to love and dare to hate, became the light of Zhang Yu in the darkness.
Who would have thought that this pair of "sister-brother love" was inexplicably very emotional.
In the trailer, the two not only have many small and fresh love details, but also have emotional scenes that do not make people blush, which looks like a chemical reaction between the boring man and woman.
No wonder Wang Xuebing, who has seen the movie, sighed:
"I like to watch Zhang Yu and Song Jia fall in love, talk about it with a hundred claws and scratch their hearts, it's really good-looking."
Compared with Huang Mao and Hu Guangsheng before, Zhang Yu in this film is more fierce and reclusive in his taciturn and reticent, and he is a new challenge at the level of acting.
As Zhang Yu confessed that this was the most tragic role he had ever played, Song Hao, who had a short happiness in the film, sat in the ruins after the friendship, family affection, and love were completely destroyed, and finally seemed to collapse and kill himself.
The domino effect of life shown in the film, watching a beautiful person being destroyed, this fate tragedy should have a relatively strong strength.
The film was screened at the Shanghai International Film Festival in July 2020 and was nominated for the Golden Jubilee Award for Best Film, and many viewers said:
"It's too much momentum, like you've just finished a glass of spirits."
"I haven't seen a Chinese film with such a fierce group drama for a long time, and it is worth being nominated for the best group performance of this year's Chinese film."
"The Upper Film Festival owes Zhang Yu a shadow emperor!"
And the executive producer Huang Bo himself also forwarded to:
"A bunch of idiots and magic tricks, a good play is worth looking forward to."
Overall, the whole film has some literary temperament in the crime genre film, everything seems to be light and breezy, but in fact, it has been turbulent, from the main role, the theme to the content, this film has made people have a high expectation.
Now, just wait for it to be released.
