Chapter 301: Two Spaces
Through the dialogue between Guo Yishan and his wife, the audience has a general understanding of the situation of the male protagonist. Guo Yishan is a Go master and was invited by a friend to attend the birthday banquet of President Pang's 60th birthday. Also attending this birthday banquet were the famous Dongying chess player Songbo Linzuo, and Guo Yishan just wanted to meet Songbo. Guo Yishan not only went by himself, but also brought his eight-year-old son Ah Ming with him.
When I arrived in Beiping, before going to Pang Mansion, my friend Guan Xiaozhou specially reminded Guo Yishan that when playing chess with Mr. Pang, you must let it go, and you must play flattering chess, otherwise don't say that you can't play chess with Songbo, you may not even have your life.
In addition, Yi Yamamoto disdained to play flattery chess, but in order to play against Matsuba, he still played flattery chess.
Suddenly, there was a bulletin: "Mr. Consul has arrived!", "Mr. Ozaki and Mr. Onda have arrived!", "Mr. Matsuba has arrived!"
Guo Yishan's body shook slightly, and he looked up at the door. I saw that accompanied by the consul, Ozaki and others, Matsuba and Onda walked into the room. Mr. Pang smiled and took a step forward to receive the guests.
At the same time, the sound of rapid breathing outside the frame sounded again.
The critics and judges at the scene all showed shocked expressions, and Jeanne Morrow and Hannah Hygura directly covered their mouths. The average viewer may not realize what it means, but they are professionals who know what the sound of breath means.
Almost all people have the same words in their hearts, "My God, so it is!"
When ordinary movies recall, they often directly switch to the time and space of memories, and the audience also enters the time and space of memories, and the space of memories is real;
After the audience enters the inner world of Kuang Yishan, there are two spaces in the whole movie, one is Kuang Yishan's psychological space, which is what the audience sees on the screen, and the other is the real space, because when Kuang Yishan recalled, he himself existed and did not disappear, all of this is outside the picture, and the audience can't see it. Xu Wangqiu told the audience everything through the sound of breathing, Guo Yishan is still there, and you are now in the inner world of Guo Yishan.
It sounds like a simple matter of adding breathing to the shot, and anyone can do it. But it's true that no one has dealt with it like this before, not even masters who are good at mental space such as Fellini and Antonioni. This technique breaks the barrier between the psychological space and the real space, and perfectly connects the two spaces.
Roger Ebert felt his cold hairs stand on end and his scalp tingle. He suddenly remembered how many years ago he had watched Kubrick's 2001 Odyssey in the cinema, and in the opening scene, when the ape-man threw his bones into the air and turned them into a spaceship, he sat in front of the screen stunned, and felt his hair stand on end. After that, he watched a lot of movies, but very few movies gave him that feeling, and today that feeling is back.
The Italian journalists who were waiting to see the joke were dumbfounded. Although the film has only been running for more than ten minutes and has only just begun, they know that with this groundbreaking approach, the film will be admired by the entire film industry.
The movie continued, Guo Yishan continued to play chess with Mr. Pang, and Song Bo came to watch the game with great interest. Guo Yishan was originally playing flattery chess, but at this time he was ready to play chess seriously. Guan Xiaozhou saw Guo Yishan's intentions and signaled him not to mess around, it was possible to lose his head if he offended Chief Pang. Guo Yishan hesitated, and finally chose flattery chess. Everyone praised Mr. Pang for a while, and made him the number one master in Beiping. Songbo showed disdain, and walked to the side with Entian, unwilling to look at it again.
Guo Yishan looked up at Songbo, his face as pale as paper. He knew what the consequences would be, but he didn't want to be looked down upon by Songbo. He refreshed his spirits and began to play chess seriously. Mr. Pang's level of Go is very stinky, where will he be the opponent of the Jiangnan Chess King, and soon Yishan will lose his armor. Annoyed and angry, Chief Pang suddenly overturned the chessboard and scolded loudly: "You are going all the way crooked, and the chess style is too bad." What Jiangnan chess king, don't laugh at friends. Today, Mr. Songba only plays against Peking chess players!"
At night, Guan Xiaozhou packed his luggage and urged Guo Yishan to leave Beiping quickly. In addition, Yishan made him ugly at the wedding banquet of Chief Pang to celebrate his 60th birthday, and he will never give up.
At this moment, Songbo came to the door, hoping to play a game with Yi Shan. When Songbo was in Dongying, he had seen the ancient spectrum annotations of Kuangyi Mountain, and he wanted to go down to Kuangyi Mountain during the day, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, so he could only come to the door at night.
In the process of the game, Guan Xiaozhou called Guo Yishan out. Songbo saw that Ah Ming had been watching chess very seriously in the process of playing chess with Guo Yishan, so he deliberately tested him and asked how to play next. Amin confidently gave off a son. Songbo was greatly surprised when he saw his extraordinary move, and immediately made a move. After thinking about it, Amin gave another son. Sombo was full of praise for Amin's chess and felt that this kid was a real genius.
He quickly returned to his room and continued to play chess with Matsuba. When the chess game between the two reached a critical point, the police suddenly broke in and took away Guo Yishan, leaving an unfinished game of chess.
The next morning, Songbo asked Consul Dongying for help in rescuing Kuang Yishan from the police station. Besides, Yishan was still thinking about the unfinished game of chess, and wanted to continue playing with Songbo. Song Bo and Guan Xiaozhou both felt that now was not the time, and it was better to go later. However, Matsuba made a request to bring Amin to Toei to learn chess.
At this moment, the sound of rapid breathing outside the screen sounded again. The strong breathing sound hit the hearts of the audience in front of the screen, and they clearly felt the strong emotional fluctuations in Guo Yishan's heart, and felt his strong hatred from the heart.
Linked to the beginning, the first thing Kuang Yishan did after seeing Songbo's news was to find a knife and wanted to kill him, and everyone realized that Kuang Yishan's hatred for Songbo should be related to Ah Ming's going to Dongying.
The movie continues, under Songbo's repeated requests, and even kneeling begging, Guo Yishan agreed to send Ah Ming to Dongying semester, but he felt that Ah Ming was still too young and had to wait a few more years until he grew up.
The scene switches, and in the teahouse of the Yishan family, Ah Ming, who has grown up a little, is playing against two guests at the same time. The surrounding spectators were amazed, and they all called Ah Ming a genius. Guo Yishan looked at Ah Ming, and he was also full of joy. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and everyone in the teahouse was startled and looked out of the building. Outside the window, several spies were chasing people, and the tea guests lamented that the world was getting more and more chaotic. A tea guest said to Guo Yishan: "Mr. Guo, if your child is born in a peaceful and prosperous world, the future is immeasurable. Now, ahem, it's a pity......"
Without waiting for Yi Shan to answer, a man who looked like a worker suddenly barged in and asked if there was a back door. Someone pointed. The man ran a few steps to the back door, and then came back, ran upstairs, and fled through the window. Several spies quickly swarmed into the teahouse through the front and back doors. The leading spy asked everyone, where did the man who ran in just now go? No one answered, and everyone pretended not to hear. The head of the agent asked the agents to search separately, and he walked over to Amin's table and tried to flip the chessboard. Ah Ming protected the chessboard and asked, "What are you going to do?" The spy head pushed down Ah Ming, overturned the chessboard, and waved his hand: "Take them all away." If you secretly hide the party and do not report it, you are an accomplice!"
When Yi Shan and Ah Ming came out of the police station, not only was Yi Shan's face swollen, but even Ah Ming's face was bruised. Guo Yishan realized that it was time to send Ah Ming to Dongying, at least in Dongying, he could play chess with peace of mind, at least he would not be beaten like this. In order to make up for the cost of Ah Ming's trip to Dongying, Guo Yishan sold the teahouse. Before Amin left, he handed his fan to Amin. The word "Fenfei" is written on the fan, which is the masterpiece left by Guo Yishan's father. In addition, Yishan's father had played against Dongying chess players many times during his lifetime, but he could not win, so he left these two words, hoping that future generations would work hard and defeat Dongying chess players.
When the movie is shown here, there is not only the sound of rapid breathing outside the screen, but even the faint crying can be heard.
Although they didn't know what was going on, the audience could feel the sadness in Yi Shan's heart. They believed that if they could be re-elected, Guo Yishan would definitely not let Ah Ming go to Dongying. Many people think that Ah Ming may have died after arriving in Dongying, and his death is related to Songbo, otherwise it would be impossible for Yishan to hate Songbo so much, and it is impossible for him to be so remorseful.
Roger Ebert listened to the casual cry and nodded slightly, thinking that this scene was difficult to handle, because it was now in the inner world of the Changing Mountain, and it was not possible to use the soundtrack to render the atmosphere like other movies. It's not right to use music, and it's impossible for people to match themselves with music in their hearts when they recall. Xu Wangqiu used a casual cry, which not only exaggerated the atmosphere, made the audience worry about Ah Ming's trip to Dongying, but also perfectly presented the remorse in Guo Yishan's heart. There are many directors who are good at using voice-over, but there are very few directors who can use voice-over to this extent.
The movie continues, the 918 Incident, the 77 Incident, the 813 Incident, and the Dongying army began to attack Suzhou, Wuxi and other places from the magic capital. The Yishan family had to pack their bags and start fleeing like everyone else. Since the outbreak of the 918 Incident, his family has persuaded Guo Yishan to take Ah Ming back, but Guo Yishan always thinks that he can't afford to fight, and he trusts Songbo very much and believes that Songbo will protect Ah Ming. Now that the war has broken out, it is impossible to bring Amin back.
Time soon came to 1942, and Dongying people came to Kuaiyishan's house with gifts. At the beginning, Ozaki, an officer of Dongying that Yishan had met in the palace of Chief Pang of Pang, was promoted to Dazuo, and was transferred from Beiping to the south to serve in the headquarters. He was going to hold a chess meeting in Jingyuan, and specially sent someone over to invite Guo Yishan to participate.
In addition, Yishan's daughter Ah Hui had dealings with the guerrillas, so she told the guerrillas about it. The guerrillas believed that the Dongying people wanted to use the reputation of the Jiangnan chess king of Kuangyishan as a signboard to promote Sino-Japanese goodwill; it was dangerous for Kuangyishan to refuse the invitation of the Dongying people, and he had to move immediately. They discussed with Ah Hui and took the Yishan family to the liberated area at night.
"A Game of Chess That Didn't End" started from the memories of Jing Yishan, and the tone of the film was very strange, the color of the picture was yellow and green, the gray haze was relatively high, and the picture was a little gray. When the Yishan family, with the help of the guerrillas, rowed in a small boat in the direction of Taihu Lake and went to the liberated area accurately, the whole picture almost completely turned gray, and other colors could not be seen at all.
The rich gray color brought a strong sense of depression to the audience, and the sound of the oars plucking the river hit the audience's heart. The audience in front of the screen felt the despair in Guo Yishan's heart, and the audience held their breath, although the movie was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere from the beginning, but at this moment, this sense of depression was even more extreme, and almost everyone's hearts were pinched, feeling that the Yi Shan family was likely to encounter danger.
Sure enough, a Dongying patrol sentry suddenly appeared on the shore. They saw the boat in the river and shouted, "Stop!
