Yang Xiaomi was really a little scared, she didn't expect the finished film "Border Storm" to be like this!

The atmosphere is very good, the storytelling is jumpy, the actors don't have many lines, but the acting skills are outstanding, and the emotions of the characters are delicate, these are not the point, what surprised her the most was the texture of this movie.

Texture is a very advanced word, including audiovisual language, light and shadow presentation, and art design.

For example, many movies have a good plot and a high box office, but they just make people feel uncomfortable, such as "33 Days of Broken Love" - a very typical TV series with too strong a sense of feeling!

The meaning of film itself is to extract from real life and establish a new world view, but it is still inseparable from the inextricable connection between each element and the objective world.

The credibility of the story is important!

The basics have to be convincing!

"Border Storm" tells the story of Sun Honglei who wants to wash his hands and finish the last vote, and his interpretation makes the whole story very credible!

In fact, the overall character modeling, art design and props of "Little Times" are quite remarkable, but the attention to detail is not only in the costumes and objects, and the credibility of the scene is extremely important - no one wants to believe that such a story happened, which is the deadliest.

Speaking of Yang Mi, at the beginning, she took "Border" with an attitude of poverty alleviation, and the script was not read carefully at all - what is there to see, how many catties and taels does Lu Xiaoran have, she still doesn't know?

How does she feel now, what can I say...

It's like one day you find out that a friend you know is actually a big guy in the industry!

Yang Xiaomi is not an ordinary audience, she has a high amount of reading, and she clearly sees which films Lu Xiaoran borrowed from "Border".

The most obvious is the narrative structure of the chapters, which Quentin Tarantino is used to.

In the first chapter, 'The Dog', the police find the drug dealer, the lights in the hallway, the darkness in the room, the shot aimed at the crack in the bottom door, and the drug dealer shoots at the door, especially for the performance of this process and the way of creating tension in it, all of which are similar to the Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men".

In the second chapter of 'Past Events', Sun Honglei's character has murderous intentions towards his godfather's own son and plans a plot to seize power.

He wraps a towel around the pistol to silence the sound and goes straight to the bedroom to kill the sleeping boss, which is a clear parody of The Godfather II.

In The Godfather II, the young Victor Corleone uses almost the same method to kill the unstoppable gang leader, establish his status as a gang in the Italian ghetto, and start his own business.

The scene where Sun Honglei's men slaughter dissidents uses a lot of flashback shots, almost copying the performance of Mike Corleone's purge of other families in "The Godfather I".

It must be said that even if it is an imitation, Lu Xiaoran is also imitated in a good way, and there is no bad scene of four dislikes due to unsuccessful imitation!

"Frontier"... Just his first film!

Impressive.

Lu Xiaoran didn't think about it so much, he thought that Yang Mi was thinking about his performance, so he persuaded: "You acted well, you can afford a big close-up!"

Yang Mi suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "... Did you ask Teacher Zhang Guoli to teach me?"

"yes, he... He likes to teach people to act, I just don't know how to do that, so I can make the most of it!"

"Thank you..."

“... What's so thankful for this?Hurry back to your room and rest," waved at her, Xiao Luzi held Tangtang's hand and walked out of the elevator directly...

......

The next day, several people showed up at the airport wearing big sunglasses.

Lu Xiaoran didn't like to wear things on her face very much, so she simply held up a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Everybody didn't get much rest...

The schedule is very tight, I have to fly to Shanghai to run a few theaters, and then go to Hangzhou and Nanjing to do publicity, and the day after tomorrow I have to go to Wuhan and Changsha...

There's no way, now that the commercial market is open, what you fight for is exposure, if you don't grab the audience, others will grab it!

Don't forget, there is more than just "Border" released in the same schedule!

The group got on the plane and hurried to catch up on sleep, when Lu Xiaoran leaned on the chair of the plane and fell asleep.

After a night of fermentation, "Border Storm" has ushered in a comprehensive media report, or the evaluation of film critics:

"The director has a strong personal style, and I have never seen such a cool domestic film in the cinema. The four chapters are well integrated, and my personal favorite is the first chapter "Dog", which can be a small story in its own right. A film with such a narrative structure is very much like something made by a Chinese director. If the actor is changed to an American and says that it is a movie by the Coen brothers, many people will believe it!"

"It's definitely the best domestic film so far this year, with a strong style, a very designed structure, a Hollywood overall, and a promising future for the director. The disadvantage is that the rhythm is slow and there are few lines, but the excellent performance basically makes up for the loopholes in the plot explanation. ”

"Lu Xiaoran is definitely the biggest surprise in the Chinese film industry this year, he can direct and act, a movie like "Border Storm" is not a peerless masterpiece, but it will not be so embarrassing to have a few more Chinese movies. ”

"It's rare to see such a good movie in the Chinese New Year file where there are a lot of bad movies, I must highly recommend it, there is tension in expression, and there are buried threads in the ups and downs of the plot!"

"There are a lot of flaws, it can be seen that it is a debut film, and the movie is only worth three stars, but in a domestic film with a pile of bad movies, it is worth adding another star to be able to smash such a story according to your own temperament and ideas, and shake out such a style. Highly recommended!"

Of course, the film critic is who gives the money and helps who to say good things, if the plot is not good, he will praise the actors, and if the actors are not good, he will talk about his resume, and he will not have a resume... Let's talk about character!

Although our Tianbao's acting skills are not good, she is a beautiful person and kind-hearted, and the number of donations every year ranks first!

"The Man Caught by the Light" is obviously a niche literary genre film, a bunch of people licking their faces and saying 'creative, thoughtful, and the key is very down-to-earth...'

Please explain what 'grounded' means!

However, when the movie itself is really good, of course, the critics will do their best to praise it, and the words used are very high-end, such as 'a movie worth savoring', 'low-key gorgeousness'. Chinese films need such works, and Chinese films lack such works. ’...

The paper media reported this, and the Internet exploded even more!

"Latent" is a hot topic, and most of the people who care about you think of "Border" is how you think of it: Lu Xiaoran led the Latent Gang plus Sun Honglei and Zhang Guoli to bring you a movie...

Du Niang's 'Latent' and 'Lu Xiaoran' gathered tens of thousands of people to discuss "Border Storm":

"Today I went to watch "Border Storm", the film is good, no shame!"

"Indeed, Xiao Luzi said that it must be placed here!"

"Wu Jingzhong, Li Ya, and Xie Ruolin of "Latent" all participated, and I heard that they made free cameos?"

"I know that the group Feng who plays Li Ya is Nortel's teacher, it is said that he has always admired Lu Xiaoran, Xie Ruolin is played by Cao Binkun, he is Lu Xiaoran's classmate, I heard that he is still in the same dormitory!"

"Really, then they're on good terms!"

......

30 days, night.

In the conference room of Xiaoma, Li Ming, Zhong Lifang and the company's senior executives surrounded them, waiting for the box office report on the first day to come out...

The money is spent, and the publicity that needs to be done is in place!

Now it's time to reap the fruits!

It was quiet in the house.

Everyone is fighting spirits, these days have been a long time, the creators of "Border" are busy running publicity across the country, and these people are tired enough - they have to contact the theater!

Otherwise, where do you think 24 percent of the first-day film schedule comes from?

"Tick-tock!"

The clock moves rhythmically, making subtle sounds, and the atmosphere seems to be more and more tense.

It was close to half past eleven, and finally someone pushed open the door, holding the report in his hand, with a happy face: "Come out!"

Zhong Lifang hurriedly asked, "How much?"

"Beijing: 960,000; Shanghai, 846,000..."

"Say the total!"

"6.58 million!"
