Chapter 315: Premiere
As the movie began, the theater gradually began to quiet down.
Some viewers who took photos of Lin Bao and them entering the theater quickly retouched the pictures, and after posting them to the circle of friends or the Internet, they soon began to look at the movie.
After Lin Bao Studio, Tang Film and Television and the Opera Association came out, the film officially began.
Entering the gymnasium where the sun shines in, two figures, one tall and one short, walked in.
Because of the previous trailer and publicity, through the light and shadow, all the audience can roughly see that it is the actor who plays Yu Ji and the overlord, and Yu Chenghao has another actor.
Because in the trailer before, the role played by Yu Chenghao, even when he was in costume, only showed his face or half body, and he couldn't really see his entire figure.
And now, the silhouette effect produced by the backlight suddenly exposed his entire body movement.
Everyone felt that his body shape and steps on the music stage were completely different.
It's as if he has changed a person all of a sudden, and suddenly he has entered the state of the opera master that he should be.
And in the theater, many cast and crew also know that in fact, Yu Chenghao in this section should be the strongest state of his whole person. The whole movie was shot in "order", so the last part of Yu Ji killing herself is the last scene.
At that time, Yu Chenghao had completely entered the state of the entire opera.
In fact, he himself did not come out of the movie after that, and his addictive state for many months also started from this scene.
The audience is still not deeply touched by this, but they just feel that Yu Chenghao's first appearance is already very amazing.
In particular, the "Yu Ji" suit he wore designed by Lin Bao himself was very suitable on his body, which not only reflected his figure, but also completely expressed the real Yu Ji temperament.
On the opera stage, a very important point is appearance.
The appearance of a character is very exquisite.
In the movie, relatively speaking, this point will be much weaker, but this time, for the audience who watched this movie for the first time, the image of Yu Ji who came out of the light and shadow also represents their impression of this movie and the inheritance of opera to a certain extent.
In fact, at the same time, in addition to this hall, there are also many film critics who are looking forward to this movie, and the first film in October was given to "Farewell My Concubine".
And when they saw the two people coming out of the light and shadow, a concept suddenly came to mind in their minds, and it was also after the end of this movie that they invariably wrote in the film review:
In a sense, the appearance at the beginning of "Farewell My Concubine" is the appearance of the characters, and it is also a new appearance of traditional domestic opera in such an Internet era.
It can be said that since this appearance, the domestic audience has a completely different understanding and attention to this traditional art.
"What the hell!"
"Ao, the Peking Opera Company is here to walk the stage. ”
"Eh, it's the two of you! I'm a fan of the two of you! You two haven't sung together for more than 20 years, right?"
"Oh, oh, twenty-one years. ”
"Twenty-two years. ”
"Oh, it's been twenty-two years. We haven't seen each other in 10 years. ”
"Eleven years. ”
"Oh, it's eleven years, yes, yes. ”
......
A beam of light slanted down from above, dragging a long shadow, and finally enveloping the two actors, and also began this half-century-long period of joys and sorrows and displacement.
After the title of the film, Xiaodouzi's mother and son, the prostitute Yanhong, took Xiaodouzi to the drama troupe to learn drama, but because Xiaodouzi was born with six fingers, the troupe master did not accept it. Yanhong cut off Xiaodouzi's deformed fingers, allowing him to enter the troupe to learn drama.
Xiaodouzi's opera career began here.
And the emotions between him and his senior brother also began to become entangled here.
The rhythm of the whole movie is actually not like other literary films, which are excessively exaggerated and preached to a certain extent, but very gripping.
From learning art when he was a child, to officially leaving school, and then to several experiences after that, Lin Bao wrote about every life, and grasped the most relevant to the times, the most typical, and very interesting and attractive storyline.
It can be said that from the beginning, the moment Xiaodouzi's finger was cut off, everyone's hearts followed him, ups and downs.
After a three-hour movie, everyone feels like they have experienced a lifetime, which is both hearty and full of regrets.
Until Cheng Dieyi drew his sword and pulled out his real sword to kill himself, Duan Xiaolou said the sentence "Little Bean", the screen dimmed, the lights in the theater turned on, and everyone felt a little abruptly out of the world.
What makes a good movie.
A good movie can bring the audience into its whole story, so that the audience can feel with the actors, feel life, and experience that different experience.
Even later, when the prologue fell, he returned to reality, and he had to continue to face his life, but the time in that movie still remained in my mind, and I never forgot it for a long time, and my thoughts echoed, making you unconsciously change something.
Many commercial blockbusters are watched with special effects, and they are a suspenseful story.
But suspense does not represent real substitution.
Because the audience only looks at your story from an outsider's point of view, they can't really understand the charm of a movie.
And "Overlord Yu Ji" obviously did it.
This is the thought of all the fans who watched this movie for the first time in October, and then the lights came on in the theater, and they still sat there for a long time without looking back.
Yu Li too.
She felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
To be honest, as a young man in a big city who pursues fashion and popularity, she has seen a lot of movies, all kinds of genres. Although she is not the kind of professional film critic, she can still represent the taste of the public to a certain extent.
This kind of public is not a specific kind of literary film user, but a larger range of public, from the perspective of an ordinary public.
She felt that there were too many things in this movie that surprised her.
In fact, at the beginning, there was news that Lin Bao was going to shoot "Farewell My Concubine", because he was invited by the Opera Association.
So, everyone's first thought is a documentary or something.
But then there was an original script, a feature film, and among the leading actors, there was Yu Chenghao, who had never acted, and Lu Yuan, who had not had a good reputation, and everyone's expectations were lower. Even though, Lin Bao is now a master performer.
But everyone still has some expectations for Lin Baobao.
Even if the filming is below the standard, everyone will still be at him as a person, this story created for the inheritance of opera.
At the end of August, as soon as the promotional video came out, the whole effect was unexpected.
The clips and lines cut out of it were very surprising and surprising to everyone.
From that short fragment, everyone can roughly sketch such a story in their hearts.
It is this expectation in my heart that made this literary film get nearly 90 million advance ticket office before its premiere.
And when she really watched this movie, the feeling in Yu Li's heart was unclear for a while.
The whole plot, including the lines in it, some shocking clips, the final story direction, the ending, and the acting skills of all the actors, especially the real protagonist Yu Chenghao, are all points that make her feel very comfortable.
Yes, comfortable.
For a mass audience, comfort is her best evaluation of a movie, especially a literary film.
As for those details, leave it to those literary critics!
After watching the movie, it was already past three o'clock in the morning.
Out of the cinema, Yu Li took a taxi home, and at the same time swiped the news about "Farewell My Concubine" on her mobile phone.
It doesn't mean that the hot searches are basically "The End of the World" and "Farewell My Concubine".
What is a little surprising is that there is also a hot search, which is actually about Lin Bao watching movies.
clicked in and took a closer look, it turned out that it was Lin Bao and the program team, and even all the contracted actors in the studio, including the employees of the barbecue restaurant, who watched the first movie together.
Because it is not a chartered venue, there are many ordinary audiences at the same time, and the scene is naturally very exciting.
There are even people who deliberately use their mobile phones to open a live broadcast.
The comments of netizens below are all kinds of envy, and so is Yu Li herself.
Watching movies with actors in the same crew, and even so many stars, it's worth it!
It's a pity that I'm in Shangjing.
Because she just watched "Farewell My Concubine", Yu Li herself was on Lin Bao's side, so she paid special attention to the evaluation of "The End of the World".
After a general glance, many viewers' evaluation is that it is a very Hollywood blockbuster, the plot is fine, and the special effects are shocking, which belongs to the kind of people who don't regret watching it.
And such an evaluation, for Yu Li, if it were usual, she would definitely ask her best friend to go to the cinema to watch it soon.
But after watching "Farewell My Concubine", the thoughts in her heart have been haunting here.
If there is still a chance for her to choose, she feels that she should still want to watch "Farewell My Concubine".
Because in this movie, there are too many things that make her feel that she can't see enough at once.
When she got home by car, Yu Li, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep for a long time, and then began to brush up on the Internet about "Farewell My Concubine".
With the end of the premiere, many netizens and fans also began to post their evaluations of Lin Bao's Virgo movie on the Internet.
Obviously, although there is a relatively different emotional scene in this story, after watching the movie, everyone is very acceptable, especially the feelings of Cheng Dieyi played by Yu Chenghao.
The whole story, from the foreshadowing, to the progress, to the climactic shout, to the withering of the final scene, everyone understands Cheng Dieyi's entire psychological process very well.
Yu Chenghao played as an actor from beginning to end, and it was no wonder that he would come out of the movie after a few months of filming. Don't say it's him, even if I'm now, I still can't get out of Cheng Dieyi's death!"
"Especially in that paragraph, I remember the line 'A good life, a year, a day, an hour, not a lifetime', it was just too explosive! ”
"There are also a few scenes within a play, Cheng Dieyi's several stage appearances, and the scenes of singing on stage, which are almost explosive!
In fact, at the previous commercial event that broke out that Yu Chenghao committed suicide, there was a real old opera actor who participated in the event at the same time. He saw that everyone was discussing Yu Chenghao's suicide, so he didn't follow too many explanations, but when he got off the stage, he said that in the drunken scene of the concubine, he was on the same stage with Yu Chenghao in a play that he had acted in for most of his life. But when he saw 'Yang Guifei' sitting at the wine table, he was so stunned that he even forgot the character lines that he had memorized for decades! He said that Yu Chenghao's acting skills had already been evaluated by Director Lin Bao. And his performance on the opera stage, even if it is just a performance, a person who has only studied for a few months can finally have such a professional performance, which can only be said to be terrifying!"
......
Regarding the whole movie, just like Yu Li's own mind now, there are too many points that can be discussed, whether from a commercial point of view or from the perspective of an art film.
Yu Chenghao's acting skills, as well as his presentation of a role like Cheng Dieyi, are the most shocking to everyone.
At the same time, other actors, including Lu Yuan, who was not favored by everyone even before the release, surprised everyone with his performance in the last hour-long movie time.
He plays the role of a villain, and at the same time, he is a bit ugly in the movie.
After the processing of the makeup artist, he appeared in the movie, and everyone almost didn't recognize him for the first time. The figure and face of the pop star on the trainee stage and in commercial activities are completely invisible in this movie, he is like a different person, reborn, and his acting skills are incredible.
Compared with Yu Chenghao, his performance made everyone even more unexpected.
And just like he said in the previous business event.
If you enter the theater, everyone feels that there is a gap between him and other actors, it is because he himself has more room for improvement because of his study time. And if there is something that allows everyone to see his progress, even amazing, it is all due to Lin Bao.
Behind such a movie, behind all these amazing points, there is a young figure.
Even, even Yu Li, looking at the comments of netizens on Douban, in the end, Lin Bao appeared in her mind.
It's really a wonderful movie, so that they, the fans, and the audience, have been flashing the scenes in the movie and the movie itself in their minds, and they have forgotten about this young director who sits in the back and directs all the young directors.
"It's a Virgo that doesn't look like a Virgo at all. ”
Yu Li feels that this evaluation may be a more correct evaluation of Lin Bao's directing level.
She has never been to the scene of the whole movie, from the script, to the shooting, to the guidance of the actors, but the final presentation is definitely made by a director with rich experience.
Even, according to some film critics, at present, in China, a director of the level who can shoot "Farewell My Concubine" can be said to be within five fingers, or even not necessarily.
Such a statement may be an exaggeration, or it needs to be verified, but indeed, the movie that Lin Bao took out, this Virgo, is too amazing.
It can be said that it is a movie that is at the peak of its debut.
No new director can have such a perfect and masterful creation and play in his first movie, even if he is a talented director!
Relying on this movie alone, from today onwards, Lin Bao can stand proudly in the domestic film industry!
It is even possible to use this to spread his name as a director abroad and enter those halls of honor!
This night, many viewers like Yu Li lost sleep.
They are not the kind of fanatical fans of a certain type of movie, or a certain director, but after watching "Farewell My Concubine", they were so excited for the first time that they couldn't sleep.
Lying there, my head is full of impressive images left in the movie.
Until the next day.
Because it was the first day of the National Day holiday, everyone slept more comfortably and slept until they woke up naturally.
Then I turned on my phone, and the news popped up, and most of it was news about a few movies that premiered last night.
Yawning and squinting, everyone clicked on the news, wanting to see the results of the premieres of each movie.
