""Save Mr. Wind" is not good!" This time it was not Lin Xiao who answered him, but Nan Ke.

"The prototype of the incident of "Saving Mr. Wind" is Feng Nanfei, and it is precisely because it is a big star like Feng Nanfei who was kidnapped that this case has the value of adaptation, so Feng Nanfei's character cannot be changed. Nan Ke shook his head and said.

But even if Feng Nanfei's character design can't be changed, what about the other characters? Can't it be changed? What about the kidnappers? In the film, the kidnappers can be said to be the biggest failure, even if they are very well acted. Chen He asked again.

"Don't forget, this is an adaptation of a real case, so the kidnapper must be like that in the film, otherwise do you think he can pass the trial?" Lin Xiao interjected.

The domestic film censorship system is very interesting, when it comes to the military, it must be passed by the military and government, and when it comes to the police, it must pass the GA level.

So it is already very good for "Save Mr. Wind" to have such results.

"Looking at this review, it actually makes a lot of sense. Xiao Jie on the side took out a copy of "Film Weekly" and said.

There is a column in "Film Weekly" film critic, a film review by the famous film critic Ning Zhiyuan.

"This year's Spring Festival schedule can be described as a gathering of good films, and the worst "Legend of the Gods" is actually strictly speaking, it can be regarded as reaching the passing line, but unfortunately, the times are not good, and such a quality film has encountered several films with a very good reputation. ”

"There are two films adapted from real events during the Spring Festival this year, and both films are generally very good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are excellent works with realistic themes. ”

"There are too many people who praise "I Am Not the God of Medicine", so I won't say much here, today the author wants to analyze with you why the same is an adaptation of real events, and the same reputation is good, but the box office of "Save Mr. Wind" is not even half of "I am not the God of Medicine". ”

"First of all, police and gangster films are a kind of genre films, and the general characteristics of police and gangster films are strong commercial atmosphere, inviting big stars to star, and a large number of sensory stimulation scenes, second, the plot is tense and exciting, and the rhythm is fast and obvious. Director Yang Hao is undoubtedly the best of this, and the original "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly the pinnacle of this genre.

However, this "Save Mr. Wind" does not have these two characteristics.

First of all, police films, since they are police films, they can actually be classified into the genre of suspense films, and the biggest feature of the film "Save Mr. Wind" is that it is down-to-earth in style. The film does not have thrilling car chase scenes, no bloody duels, it shows the way of handling cases in an ordinary police force.

This is completely different from other police and gangster films, its theme is not actually this incident, but from the incident to the arrest of the suspect, there is no suspense, and it tells you that the suspect has been arrested at the beginning. But this is also the brilliance of the film, a well-known event, no need for spoilers to know the result, if you set up any suspense at this time, wouldn't it be to make the audience like a fool?

Many people will probably think of "The Seven Deadly Sins" released some time ago, in which the murderer was also arrested halfway, although he surrendered, but the same surfaced.

But the difference is that "Seven Deadly Sins" is a real suspense film, and the murderer's surrender is a suspense, but "Save Mr. Wind" is not.

What "Saving Mr. Wind" wants to show the audience is not the confusion of the case, but the process of capture. The film focuses on the careful thinking of the police during the entire arrest process, allowing the audience to see how the police approached the suspect step by step in the process of handling the case, which is more fascinating than stupidly setting the ending into suspense. At the same time, it also leaves a certain space to talk about social issues.

It's just that speaking of this, I'm afraid many people have a feeling that if that's just the case, then this film should actually be regarded as a police propaganda documentary, and in fact, it is exactly that.

Okay, let's get down to business, so why is this film so much worse at the box office than "I Am Not the God of Medicine"?

This is going to start with the mode of crime films, in my opinion, there are many modes of crime films, and "Save Mr. Wind" chose the worst one, black and white. For ordinary audiences, this movie has nothing to see except Feng Nanfei.

We all know that crime films, either, have confusing plots, or complex characters, complex backgrounds, and in the end, many criminals are even more brilliant than the protagonists, but to be honest, in the film "Saving Mr. Wind", I really can't find any cuteness about this character.

So the question is, if you can't find it, this movie will make people's hearts cold after watching it, and you don't want to watch it a second time, so what do we watch movies for?

When we watch a movie, we associate the protagonist of the film with ourselves, because human nature is multifaceted. When we encounter difficulties, have we also thought: "Kidnap a rich man, and just fight with your life?" "This is the dark side of human nature, when we watch crime movies, we will inevitably associate robbers, robbers, and murderers with ourselves in the shadows. No matter how they escaped in the end, we are still glad that this is a good movie.

I also know about the Feng Nanfei incident, and I am very impressed, and I have not forgotten it for many years. But the film made another Feng Nanfei incident, a documentary. I didn't really think about how to make a memorable movie. Watching a news documentary is not much different from watching a movie.

If the director is to preach and show his understanding of justice, then no, thank you, we don't need it, and we can't remember it after watching it. If it is the so-called "optoelectronic regulations", I think movies with the same theme should be shot as little as possible in the future.

Having said all this, many people think that I am not satisfied with the glorification of robbers. The crime movie I want to see is a contest between people, not between people and mad dogs.

There is too much positive energy in society, so we don't need a director to teach us how to look at a mad dog, what we want to see is the humanity that the mad dog occasionally shows, so that I can see a certain side of myself from him. What do you want us to look for in a mad dog, or find a handsome kidnapper on Feng Nanfei.

Of course, the director can shoot like this, but it is a bad movie after filming, except for the footage of the pseudo-documentary that is dangling, the audience is dizzy, and the rest are forgotten when they walk out of the theater.

Of course, there is Feng Nanfei, without Feng Nanfei, few people would want to watch this movie. The incident itself, I don't think it's really necessary to make a movie at all, because the incident itself is not exciting at all, and the reason why everyone remembers it is only because it was Feng Nanfei who was kidnapped, if it was someone else, I think this incident is not necessarily a well-known event. ”
