Lu Xiaoran's greatest wish is, of course, to create his own movie universe!

The target is Marvel!

Marvel is really awesome, even Lu Xiaoran himself has to admit: life can only live for those decades, no matter how beautiful the decades before or after are, the most unforgettable thing is everything in the middle decades - for our current Chinese moviegoers, there will definitely be a place for the term Marvel in these decades.

As for why Lu Xiaoran decided that "Star Wars" would not be successful?

Because it's impossible for Disney to push another niche IP that is ahead of Marvel!

No matter how powerful Disney is, it is impossible to create something like the Marvel Universe...

Later, in order to promote "Star Wars" in China, Disney found Teacher Jiang Wen and Zhen Bullet to play the main roles, but they were still defeated...

……

The attendance rate in the screening hall is about eighty percent, after all, it is Lu Xiaoran's movie!

Of course, Han Mingming is not the first time to watch Lu Xiaoran's movie - brain miserable fans are not talking about fun!

At the beginning of the movie, the vast Mekong River is like an oil painting, but Han Mingming always feels that this shot is very... It's very infiltrating - the camera is focused on the setting sun, and a minute later a group of gunmen directly killed all the workers of the entire ship, and then dumped the bodies in Hanoi...

Han Mingming felt the horror...

Including the subsequent aerial photography of Bangkok, it is not a simple and direct shooting, but the camera always lifts the lens up a little, so that it seems that the focus is on the sky rather than the ground...

The thick black clouds in the sky herald the grief of the tragedy!

Han Mingming doesn't know much about this, but he can feel that the texture of this movie is different from the past...

The number of films he reads is not enough, but the film critic Zhou Liming's number of films is enough, he is in the Wukesong Cinema next door, and he is also watching this "Mekong Operation", the plot has just entered five minutes, and he understands the most awesome part of this movie: atmosphere, rhythm, composition and photography skills...

The biggest problem with domestic movies is that the sense of cinema is not in place!

Lu Xiaoran used to think that if she made a movie, she would tell a good story, who is the photographer?

Is photography important?

Whoever steps on a horse is a photographer to shoot a story!

However, "Gravity" gave him a glimpse of the awesomeness of top photographers, and this time "Mekong", invited Roger Deakins shocked him again...

A seemingly ordinary conversation, with different photographers in charge, can really bring different results!

For example, when it comes to composition, the average photographer chooses to play both front and back.

Roger will place the camera in the middle of the two people, from the middle position, with a wide-angle lens, giving a deeper depth of field, you can see the position and relationship of the characters in the space, and even the body language other than the face can be well displayed.

He also likes silhouette shots...

Especially the sunset and the explosion of photos, a wide-angle lens, the shadow of the protagonist slowly lengthens, the lens gradually zooms out, and the lonely shadow of heaven and earth is at your disposal...

Okay, after praising the texture of the shot, how is the story told?

"Operation Mekong" is undercover + explosive...

Typical three-part narrative.

From the beginning of the feature film to the establishment of a joint task force among China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, and the nearly 20 minutes of dismantling some drug-making dens in the preliminary activities, the plot was established.

In this stage, the central theme and sufficient preliminary foreshadowing were quickly explained, and the second part was opened in succession.

The "confrontation" stage is long, consisting of several tug-of-war plots such as saving Yan Dopa, helping to escape the informant Gong Chai , drawing out Mr. Sha, Zhan Peng and Peel, setting up a Hongmen banquet in the central square and breaking out in a shootout, killing Zhan Phong alive and capturing Natu alive, and the suicide attack on the four-nation joint operation command post.

In the second stage, the backbone of the opposing forces is explained at the beginning, and the relationship network of the characters is gradually extended in the subsequent plot progression.

After the suicide attack on the command post, the action team quickly formulated a plan and went deep into the dense forest, and successively fought fiercely with the drug lord Nuoka and his forces, Song Ge and the mysterious behind-the-scenes figure "Boss".

In the final ending, Fang Xinwu and the drug detection dog Xiaotian died, and Nuoka was escorted back to China...

The plot points are quite obvious: such as the connection point between the second and third acts, the small plot of Gao Gang taking a selfie with Fang Xinwu and sending it to his daughter.

This plot plays a role in softening the overly rigid personal heroism of the two protagonists, and also makes the audience more understanding of the efforts of the anti-narcotics police, which will be outlined in detail in the character introduction section later.

has never deviated from the main line: the Mekong River tragedy happened - the investigation found that the mastermind was Nuoka - the pursuit of the murderer escorted back to China...

At the end of the movie, Han Mingming left the cinema satisfied...

Zhou Liming: This is writing and drawing in the notebook he carries with him...

……

In the original time and space, "Operation Mekong" can be said to be a manifestation of the return of the value of the film, because in the same schedule, it met "Jue Ji", "Passing by Your World", "Ace Amuses Ace"...

In the end, "Operation Mekong" successfully won the championship with its strong word-of-mouth surrounded by a lot of bad movies and small fresh meat!

But today, there is no such big responsibility, the director of this movie is Lu Xiaoran, and from the very beginning, it has been favored by many audiences.

Director Lu has never missed a shot!

Han Mingming posted it in the group and the circle of friends for the first time: ""Mekong Operation", there is no urine point in the whole process, Lu Xiaoran is awesome (broken sound)..."

In contrast, Zhou Liming directly wrote a 5,000-word film review on his column praising "Operation Mekong" and Lu Xiaoran's progress, using the following words:

The atmosphere of the whole film should be "masterful", from the beginning to the last minute of the film, I was so nervous, nervous, so nervous. ’

In the first five minutes, I was completely stunned, and it was a very scary and creative opening with a precise rhythm. The first scene sets the tone for the whole film. ’

'It can be concluded that the plot, composition and directorial level of "Operation Mekong" are all master-level'...

Look at how people praise it, Mingming, learn to do it!

Douban Film Review: The script can only be regarded as passing, but the completion of filming is very high, and some people on it are different. I got a glimpse of what it looked like to operate outside the country, the enemy was very cunning, our side suffered heavy casualties, and every bit of justice was bought with blood.

'Absolutely the best in the domestic genre films, violent, jumping, and adrenaline-rushing. Scout fear, roaring dog wounds, loaded guns, sincere work!'

By the way, the box office of this movie on the first day was 160 million...

failed to break the record - most fans are still a little resistant to the three words of the main theme...
