Chapter 557: Bombardment
Xu Qian found a movie theater to watch "Women in the New Era", and he didn't have any hope for this movie, needless to say, it must be rotten.
It's not that Xu Qian looks down on Guo Jiao and thinks that he will definitely make a bad movie!
It's that the writer turned director is really very unreliable!
Coupled with the two factors of using "IP" and inviting traffic stars, combining these three factors, the possibility of "Women in the New Era" being a bad movie is very high!
Of course, maybe Guo Zhaotian is a genius and the first movie he shoots can blind everyone's eyes.
Here's what the introduction looks like:
This is an era of dreams shining, this is also an era of ideal cooling, this is the worst era, this is also the best era, this is our big era, this is the youth story of a group of fashionable young people in the current era, it is also a true portrayal of their lives, and it is a microcosm of our times.
The story takes place in Shanghai during the period of rapid economic development, and the protagonists Lin, Gu, Nan, and Tang live and study in this beautiful and fashionable city. Work and growth, four girls have a deep relationship since childhood, but each has different values and outlook on life, they get along day and night in the same dormitory, in the blink of an eye to the later stage of their college career, the quiet life began to face endless challenges, the busyness of finding a job internship and the huge survival pressure that comes with it, the seemingly calm campus life has happened one after another to catch them off guard, do not know how to face, need to choose things.
At the same time, a group of boys such as Gu, Jian, Gong, Chong, Weihai, and Xi and these four girls are also inextricably intertwined emotionally......
Facing huge survival pressure, in the face of unreasonable and chaotic emotional entanglements, the four girls have to experience friendship, love, and even family love.
It is very difficult for so many characters to be able to perform brilliantly in one movie!
Xu Qian started watching the movie!
The cinematography is very good, the costumes, the lighting effects are very good, but it seems to be out of the story, and it is good on its own, not in the service of the film.
The actors have no faults, but because of the arrangement and scheduling, some "good" are constantly exposed to their shortcomings, and the group drama is the most test of the director's scheduling ability, several people are not established under the camera, they need to have an aesthetic match, and they need to be combined with the image language, in this regard, from the beginning to the end, Xu Qian has not been able to see the director's image control. Very rough.
Yes, rough. It looks gorgeous, but the handling of the story is very rough. In fact, everyone may have wonderful dreams in their heads, and the author can express it because of the ability to tell stories, that is, writing.
And the video director needs the camera and the performance. In the long shots of the film, I often see the perfunctory performance of the group performance, such as the scene that entered the "ME" magazine, the scene in line, and the handling of the group performance is very perfunctory.
All of a sudden, the gorgeous shots are worthless. When we look at the performance of the actors, we are not only listening to the lines, but also the other intentions conveyed by the expressions when presenting the lines. In this regard, due to the situation in the director's scheduling, it is very single and flat.
Of course, the group performance may receive a little salary, and the scene is very chaotic, so it can't do this. But whether you are professional or not depends on these. When all the static scenes are as luxurious as possible, and most of the performances are just perfunctory, or take it for granted, the cause and effect are left to the audience's imagination, and the music makes us guess the mood.
In this regard, in fact, it is not a big problem, but roughness, the roughness of the director's technique, but it is a group scene that is not easy to shoot. Keep seeing people, but not characters. Two-thirds of the film is in such a state of hurry and panic, and desperately tells you not to panic.
"It sucks. β
Xu Qian only looked at it a little and came to this conclusion.
The script of "Women in the New Era" is not good either!
The whole script is unclear in type, unbalanced in structure, and the relationship with the original work is chaotic and cannot be sorted out. The type is that she can't be a youth film in the strict sense of the word, there is a lot of chaotic information mixed in, she has not completed the task on which the genre is based, and there are a lot of things to talk about, but they all fly away while talking.
The structural imbalance is that her fragmented narrative is not the language of the film, and it is whatever she thinks of, or arbitrarily intercepted according to the original book, which does not constitute a narrative. There is still a big difference between the text and the image, and the original work itself uses a lot of visual writing methods, but it is really exposed to the image, which is very fragile and cannot be sold in a small way. The logic is not valid, it is all self-reasonable, this is a failing script.
"This movie is very bad for people who haven't read the original book!"
Xu Qian came to such a conclusion!
And "Women in the New Era" runs through from the perspective of the heroine, but it often becomes God's omniscient perspective when it is patted, and the audience is easy to lose, a movie audience has always followed and always agreed with the characters to be emotionally invested, "Women in the New Era" often has too obvious the shadow of the author to come out, desperately asking you to be entertained, in fact, it is a practice that outweighs the loss.
Of course, "Women in the New Era" is not useless, and there are no advantages at all!
Although it has a narrative rhythm of doing twice the work with half the effort and the film grammar of pretending to be wrong, "Women in the New Era" can still impress Xu Qian in some places, which is something that many movies have not done.
The rendering of the friendship between the four girls in the special climactic passage is explosive, albeit clumsy.
In the end, Xu Qian concluded: It is difficult to see that in a movie, you see that the acting skills of all the actors have regressed. They all seem to have dedicated all their acting skills to the final easter egg. I had to say to Guo Xuan: "What a big breath."
In general, this "Women in the New Era" is very beautifully filmed, like filming an MV, but because Guo Zhao's basic directing skills are too poor, the movie logic does not make sense, and it is very rough!
Although "Women in the New Era" is very bad, Xu Qian still thinks that this kind of movie has a market!
First of all, there are too many fans of the original book of this book!
And this movie has beautiful pictures, and the luxurious life in it can also poke the g-spot of some people, young people may like this set!
And there are too many handsome guys and beauties in it, which are very eye-catching, and just looking at their faces can attract a large number of people!
If this movie is not facing "I Am Not the God of Medicine", maybe it can really dominate the world, even if it is faced with "I Am Not the God of Medicine", its box office may not be much worse, this is the terrible thing about the traffic fan economy, there is such a group of fans, naturally someone will buy it.
The "Women in the New Era" series of films takes the "dark" route, and this "dark" route is too single in the display technique, in the film, darkness is the tearing between the protagonists, and this display technique in the film makes the audience feel a little aesthetically fatigued. ββGuangzhou Daily
"Guo Zhao's attempts in a new artistic field do not seem to be mature, he is completely lost in his adaptation of his own film, he completely ignores the structure and texture of the film, this film is a failure!" - "Magic City Daily"!
"Women in the New Age is a high-caliber film. Whether it is the director's choice of characters, musical interludes, perspective transitions, close-ups, or scene design, it is very gorgeous, it can easily grasp the deepest and softest things in the audience's heart, and make the audience resonate, but "Women in the New Era" is divorced from reality and is not suitable for everyone to watch. - "People's Daily Overseas Edition"!
"The narrative of "Women in the New Era" is still trivial and lacks logic, and the plot jumps seriously. The director lacks control over the camera and narrative rhythm, and only uses his own imagination to "artificial" move and "mass-produced" feelings, and the film relies too much on slow motion and close-ups, which often gives the audience a sense of jumping to watch commercials. - "Xinmin Evening News"!
"The graphics of 'Women in the New Era' are beautiful, using a lot of soft light slow motion and close-ups, but because there are too many songs in between, it feels more like a gorgeous music video with a string of slides than a movie!" - "A Certain Wave Evening News"!
On the second day of the premiere, "Women in the New Era" was criticized by major paper media, all because Guo Zhao is indeed an outlier in the entertainment industry!
He rampaged into the entertainment industry in an unstoppable state, which has long caused dissatisfaction among many people and infringed on the interests of many people, coupled with his deviant directing techniques, he has been resisted by many directors!
And he also criticized many directors for being outdated, these directors have a lot of say in the circle, how can they be happy if you slap them in the face like this?
It is precisely because of this that there has been a grand occasion of the whole people bombarding "Women in the New Era", in which many well-known directors have personally bombarded "Women in the New Era"!
The famous director Ning Que wrote such a film review:
"This movie shouldn't be called "Women of the New Era", but "To Your Rich Youth"!"
"Many fans of Guo Zhao said that "Women in the New Era" was very beautiful, and I wouldn't talk to them about the cinematography, lenses, cameras, costumes, soundtracks, lighting, plot, interpretation, editing, special effects, etc., if you are serious, you will lose. β
"All kinds of beautiful and empty MV pictures, all kinds of glamorous and pale dialogues, all kinds of inexplicable slow motion, all kinds of surprisingly consistent grinning expressions, now I can't help but be shocked when I think about it, and I can't help but learn from Tang Lai's sentence: I was frightened. β
"Let's not talk about how likely it is that there will be a snowstorm in the magic capital, it is estimated that it is the result of the unjust case of thousands of pigs on the Huangpu River; the so-called long-term loyal love, any thing can be misunderstood, and it will fall apart immediately; a fashion show with great influence can be manipulated and changed by people at will; so the huge four boxes of clothes can not be seen, how undedicated the migrant workers are. Blue sky, you have no experience for the first time, we should pat lightly and be gentle with you, but you can't forgive without film knowledge, and you can't forgive without common sense of life!"
"In terms of publicity, it is called "Women in the New Era" is a rare female film in Chinese film history - I bought a bag last year, oh, I have seen shameless, I have never seen such a stinky and shameless one. β
"What is a female movie? It's not a movie played by a group of women + pseudo-mothers, but you dare to call it a female movie! The queen, the female dick, the green tea bitch, and the female man, do you want to create such four images? Is Gu Li strong? That's called pretending! Is Lin ignorant? That's called stupidity! Is Nan innocent? That's stupid! Is Tang honest? That's called two fucking! Is the four girls sisterhood? That's called a bunch of rotten things!"
"Well, in the end, to sum up, Guo Copy's movie is probably really the same height as Guo Copy, and you can't ask for any height. From this point of view, height is indeed directly proportional to the quality of the movie. β
β¦β¦
"Ning Dao is awesome. β
"It's not necessary to attack people. β
"It seems that the stalk of Guo Copy's height will never go out of style!"
"Sitting up in shock in the dying illness, Guo Zhao is really going to be angry to death. β
The famous director Chen Xi also wrote this film review:
"I decided not to write film reviews anymore, but I have been very restrained and endured not writing when I watched movies recently. Until I met the strange "Women of the New Era". β
"The characters in this film are very thin, and the characters are thin because I haven't read the original book and I haven't remembered a single name for two hours, and the characters are all stuck in a single character performance. Blue Sky may have millions of words to describe and shape a person, but this movie needs to see and touch the pictures and lines to tell the audience. Obviously, he didn't do this, I don't know if it's because the book is chaotic, the characters can't guess the characters, or the actors don't bother to think about these at all, or they don't bother to think about how to show them. β
"What are the consequences of this? Just talking about the characters, the four women are one tsundere, one stupid, one ordinary, one literary, and the two men are one sissy and one wretched. And then it's gone, one word to describe a character? Do you think the audience is so easy to fool? As for other supporting characters, not to mention, taking a mop with a character label will not affect the plot of half a dime. β
"Speaking of actors, the characters and actors in this film are not the same thing at all! The actors play themselves in the film, which basically has nothing to do with the characters in the script that I figured out by myself. The actor's aura is too strong, it's like stuffing a strong man with a height of 190 and a weight of 180 into a waist shirt with a size L. Your own glory has overshadowed the role, how can you play it? You can't play it! Just compare this action in front of the camera and read the lines! You should be playing a few college students who don't know anything about it, don't make them all like popular idols. β
"In short, it's right to invite handsome guys and beauties, it only shows that you are not bad for money, but you have to hold on to these actors. The roles they play are all very good. β
"The camera crew of this film also likes to shoot people at an angle and rotate to shoot the scene. When I watched the movie, I thought that my neck was broken, and it was very uncomfortable and even stressful to watch. Could this be the legendary directorial style?
And can you not use so many close-ups in the film? Basically all monologue dialogues are followed up by close-ups, the actors are not young anymore, and no matter how good the makeup artist is, he can't resist the destruction of large-scale close-ups. Can you imagine the joy of a college student faintly seeing all kinds of wrinkles under makeup?"
"When I watched the movie, I felt that Guo Pan was very immodest and exaggerated! Starting from the three Guo Copying of the original work written by the director and screenwriter at the beginning of the film, Guo Zhao would basically appear every few minutes in the movie, and until the final staff list, Guo Pan couldn't wait to insert a foot in every part of the crew! I can bear the director and screenwriter, but is the cinematography next to your specialty? If you want to express yourself from beginning to end, find a beautiful woman to take a selfie! While showing your sexual orientation, let everyone praise you for your virtue and art. β
This narcissist is very annoying, and he also made a symbolic self in the play. This thing likes to play like this when I was writing books, but this time I played big in the movie. Are you that tall in reality? Don't you mind your height, if you don't mind, don't make yourself so tall and mighty in the movies? You're not Mr. Taker Toilet Cleaner. β
"Actually, I'm a fan of Mr. Guo Zhao, someone mentioned the long lens just now, it's very conceivable, Guo Zhao didn't sleep for a few days to discuss the script, like all photographers learn lighting and camera position, who can do this kind of hard work and seriousness?
"I believe you're a ghost, bad old man!"
"Guo Copy's life is black. β
"This is a black powder, isn't itγγγγγ β
"Don't always talk about people's height, in fact, they are quite tall!"
It can be said that Guo Zhao was bombarded by many big directors, mainly because of the values, the quality of the film, and the characters in it!
