Chapter 247: Commercial Genre Films (1/6)
In fact, many people are interested in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" because of this theme.
Just look at the title of the film: Thieves + Treasure Hunting!
This kind of thief-type movie has long been played out by the 'Luohan series', and they want to know how Lu Xiaoran plays this theme.
In that year, Xiaogang Cannon was crowned the 100 million yuan club with "No Thieves in the World".
As the leader of the new generation of directors, Lu Xiaoran also has to shoot the theme of thieves, so he will naturally be compared.
In fact, Director Lu's self-positioning: "Raiders of the Lost Ark" also has a breakthrough in the genre, and it is a very good commercial genre film.
As I said before: Treasure hunting is a specialized subgenre in Hollywood, and this genre is basically a visual effects blockbuster + handsome men and beautiful women celebrities, pile money into it, and then earn more money back.
The typical example of previous years was the "Ocean's Eleven" series, and more recently the "Fast and Furious" series, this genre is full of routines within routines, and for fans, there is actually nothing to discuss.
What do you say vegetarian chicken is to discuss?
What "Raiders of the Lost Ark" does well is that, in addition to handing over the homework of genre films, it has made a lot of new ideas in the story, grafting an external group of thieves story onto a revenge story.
created a gang of protagonists with complex relationships.
Of course, the story of deception is not new...
But do you try to put it in the rush?
……
Jun Ji-hyun and Jung Pei-pei appeared, it was a small joke...
The two used their acting skills and means to steal antiques that looked like ashtrays without danger.
pointed out the four-person team: Jun Jixian, Zheng Peipei, Liao Fu, Lin Gengxin...
The standard narrative of this genre: a small paragraph at the beginning, a little appetizer like an appetizer to introduce the characters by the way, point to the end, and lead to the opening by the way.
Why did these people go to Macau?
Because being stared at by the police...
At the same time, he shouted Kim Hye-so, who was released on parole...
The first half of the movie is particularly beautiful, with complex clues, but it is not messed up at all.
Dealing with nearly 10 important characters, everyone has different goals, all of them have different dreams in the same bed.
After the two teams formed a whole, each team member had his own little abacus, including the police undercover, and some of the team members were indispensable for various contradictions, and there were many flashbacks in the middle to describe the grievances between teammates.
The joke and the plot go hand in hand...
I thought the plan was perfect, but it still went wrong...
After the mission failed, many viewers subconsciously thought that escape was not a problem, but the director was quite ruthless to cut all the characters!
Seeing this, I probably understand.
Because it's impossible for a movie to give so much time to introduce all the characters after a mission fails!
I have to say that compared with Hollywood idealistic directors, Lu Xiaoran is much more realistic, and also shows a spirit of thieves who come out to mix and want to pay back.
Several of the people who shot and killed the policemen hung up...
The rest of the plot shifts to revenge...
……
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" has three stories, before the treasure theft, treasure theft and after the treasure theft.
Before the treasure theft, it was a comedy, with all the characters appearing, gags, deceit, and full of jokes.
Treasure theft is a crime film, with the help of high-IQ planning and high technology, the defense system of the casino has become a fool, and the thieves are at ease in their actions, but because of "the praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind", they did not achieve their goal, and finally the attacker became a fugitive.
After the treasure theft is an action movie, and it is also what the movie really wants to show, the treasure hunt, revenge and pursuit are staged together, thrilling scenes follow one after another, and after a melee, the fate of the characters has their own place.
The so-called alliance is just a front, and the theft of diamonds is not the ultimate goal, everything is just a revenge game set up by the general convener, Park Macau.
In the whole movie, in terms of character creation, everyone is a bastard, in addition to their careful cooperation when acting together, they engage in infighting in life, especially the confrontation between people of the same sex.
When Park Macau set up this bureau, it already foreshadowed that all the people who died in this play were because of him.
Lu Xiaoran weakened the force value of Macau Park - you confronted two cold-blooded killers with submachine guns in full armor with your bare hands, and you were unscathed...
They weren't asked to have guns, they were armed with knives...
Why did Duan Yihong set up a bureau?
He wants to kill Wei Hong, and as for the entanglement between him and Kim Hye-so, it is the emotional line.
The movie reached its climax, that is, Chen Baoguo appeared surrounded by a group of younger brothers, and the entire screening hall exclaimed...
Chen Baoguo really has an aura!
The original Wei Hong is 1.5 meters tall and has an aura of 0.5...
I don't understand why the director asked him to play the behind-the-scenes boss.
This was the climax that Lu Xiaoran thought, but in the actual screening, the biggest laugh in the screening hall was Jun Ji-hyun's sentence, 'What's the situation, is North Korea finally unable to help but do it?'
The whole building is surrounded by police, how is Jun Ji-hyun going to get out?
She smashed the pump and wrapped it in a bath towel...
Why do you have to smash the water pump and get wet?
Nonsense, that's called welfare!
It's a pity that Lu Xiaoran only let her show her back...
Wei Hong is definitely going to die, he is the villain, the big boss in the movie...
At the end of the movie, in Sanya, Jun Ji-hyun successfully obtained diamonds, and when he was looking for a buyer in Hong Kong, he was found by Kim Hye-so, and the pick-up man who flew with her was actually the son-in-law at the beginning of the film, and the one who was deceived by Jun Ji-hyun and Zheng Peipei - played by Choi Sung-guk.
"Didn't you go and help her settle the room bill?"
Cui Chengguo: "No, I want to go, the counter said that a man had already settled the room fee for her, and his luggage was also taken away by him!"
Kim Hye-so looked at the camera and smiled...
The final shot was given to Duan Yihong after makeup, he walked out of the hotel with two suitcases...
The movie ends, and the subtitles appear.
Haifeng and Yusuke were about to leave, when suddenly the big screen lit up, and Yui Aragaki appeared on the screen:
A man's voice: "Are you the daughter of Shizuda Kunihiro?"
"Yes!"
"And how much success have you learned from him?"
"He will, I will!"
"OK, I'll take you on this operation!"
As soon as the camera turned, it was Ren Dahua chewing gum...
The screen goes black again, and the cast continues to be announced...
Several viewers who were about to go out paused for a moment, and then collectively discussed: ", is this a sequel?"
"It should be, Ren Dahua and Yui Aragaki don't have many opportunities to appear in this movie..."
"I'll just say, my wife's first Chinese-language movie, it can't be so simple!"
"Who is your wife?"
“… Yui Aragaki!"
"Hehe..."
"Hehe, your sister, are you not convinced?"
It's a pity that I already have a wife, so I can't compete with you!
Haifeng sighed a little, then looked at Yusuke and asked, "How is it, have you figured out how to pick a thorn?"
Yusuke pondered for a moment, and then said, "... It's too simple, just say that the name is not true, this is the Treasure Hunting Alliance..."
"Ahem, Lu Xiaoran posted on Weibo just now, he said that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was originally called "Thieves" or "Thieves Alliance", and the distribution department thought it was not good, so he changed the name of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"..."
“… Don't worry, when I go back and open the fridge, I'm sure I'll find the problem!"
