Well, the plot of "Mei Lanfang" is similar to what Zhang Junsheng remembers.

In the original time and space, Zhang Junsheng is looking forward to "Mei Lanfang", Kai Ye is back in the industry he is most familiar with, and it is Mei Lanfang again, of course he has to go and see it!

I only remember that I thought it was too long at the time, and I couldn't sit still when I saw the back, there was no strong dramatic conflict, it was lengthy, it lacked a sense of bringing in and grasping points, and it was an extremely ordinary movie.

Maybe I didn't have a girlfriend to watch it with at the time...

Now it seems that the first half of the film was filmed well, the young Mei Lanfang and the Thirteenth Master sang a duet, "I love my teacher, I love the truth even more"!

The second half is a big drop in the picture.

According to the memories of friends, Mei Lanfang usually sits there silently, and no matter which angle you look at, you will feel that your eyes are bright.

Humble gentleman, gentle as jade.

The young Mei Lanfang played by Li Ming is fat, too depressed and restrained, and her eyes are not right, and she does not have Mei Lanfang's taste of being neither humble nor arrogant, and the wind god is chic.

Growing beards and ambitions, selling property is not the same as colluding with dirt and helping to abuse, the Japanese are helpless, which is a strong stroke in Mr. Mei Lanfang's legendary life.

The movie is a bit of a picture, fictionalizing that the Japanese army drew a sword and coerced Mei Lanfang to perform, ostensibly promoting national integrity, but in fact not only desecrating history, but also dwarfing the characters.

The director said that he couldn't figure out why Mei Lanfang resolutely did not go to Chongqing after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, but stayed in Shanghai all the time.

In fact, if he reads "Mei Lanfang's Biography", he may suddenly open his mouth - Mei Lanfang is a rare person who soars and does not forget the old days!

The impoverished father's friends, the old acquaintances of the pear orchard, and even the broken fans and ticket holders who have praised him are all the objects of gratitude that he will never forget.

"When Lan Fang handed over the red paper packets that honored them (the contents often exceeded their income for several months) in the harsh winter months, you could see the hot tears welling up in the corners of the old people's dim eyes, dripping through the fluffy white beards onto the tattered skin-covered robes covered with oil. ”

The other troupes eat open rice, but Mei Lanfang's Chenghua Society, which was established in 1922, is both old and young.

As for the love story between him and Meng Xiaodong, in fact, if it is really filmed according to historical facts, the effect is better!

It's not a simple movie to watch, Mei put down another house and officially live together.

Meng visited the Mei Mansion during a funeral of the elders of the Mei family, but was turned away by Fu Zhifang.

Meng Xiaodong finally broke up with Mei Lanfang, and Mei also shared Meng 40,000 alimony.

Meng Xiaodong's second man is Du Yuesheng, a character who stomps his feet and sways the entire Shanghai Beach, and he can be regarded as a legend among women.

In his later years, Meng Xiaodong was like an ancient Buddha and died in Taiwan coldly.

This famous love triangle is now talked about, Meng Xiaodong's departure and marriage to the underworld brother.

The reality is more exciting than in the movie, and the walk in the rain and the performance on the same stage in the movie are a little more romantic...

After all, with Mei Jiubao as the art consultant, it is impossible for him to allow Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong's private relationship to be put on the big screen...

……

At the end of the movie, Zhang Junsheng and Liang fans stood up and applauded...

Anyway, it can be seen that Director Kai Ge is really attentive, "Mei Lanfang" is a three-stage structure with the theme of "Farewell", "Life and Separation", and "Gathering and Dispersing", this kind of slightly pathetic structural paradigm is really not touched by ordinary directors!

This kind of work that requires strong directing skills, Chen Kaige really tried his best...

Many people say that among the four major directors in the mainland, Chen Kaige is the most underrated...

is also desperately trying to overturn the case for "Wuji", what scene is beautiful...

Big brother, "Wuji" is really a bad movie!

I don't know what to do, under the flashy and luxurious lens, there is a weakness and emptiness without connotation.

For those who applaud "Boundless", please check out "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "Life of Pi", "Terminator II", and "The Godfather" trilogy.

A good movie, telling the story eloquently within the framework of the inner world view woven by itself is the minimum bottom line, and being able to move people's hearts adds a lot, and bringing the audience a strong shock and reflection is the key to being good.

Cinema doesn't have to be inspiring, but it has to be able to move people.

chasing the end and abandoning the original, the shots are becoming more and more gorgeous, but the content is becoming more and more empty, which makes people can't help but be bored and obscure, pretending to be profound, playing with mystery, hateful and hateful. Renyun's "three days without reading, his face is hateful", which is completely suitable for evaluating a broken movie with a deep narcissistic complex like "Wuji".

is the same as "The Legend of the Demon Cat", I believe that many people feel the same after watching it, the scene is a beautiful mess, and the story is also a mess.

It's hard for "Mei Lanfang" to tell a good story, but unfortunately, few of the current audiences are interested in Mei Lanfang, and Peking Opera has long been out of popularity!

……

Han Shanping noticed the smile on Zhang Junsheng's face, and walked over to ask, "What do you think?"

“… It's a little dull, but it's okay overall. ”

“… What about the box office?"

"I'm not an audience, how do I know the box office!"

"Don't you have a theater line?

"It's similar to "Ip Man"..."

Han Shanping sighed deeply, although Zhang Junsheng didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was very clear, he was not very optimistic about the box office results of "Mei Lanfang"...

To be honest, it is difficult for Zhang Junsheng to understand why China Film trusts Brother Chen Kai so much...

Except for one "Farewell My Concubine", which made a profit...

Many people know about Kaige Chen's Palme d'Or, but they don't know that Kaige Chen also has two golden alarm clocks in Cannes - the most boring movie of the year, which is used to wake up the sleeping audience!

"Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" directly bankrupted investors...

After going to the United States, he filmed a "Kill Me Gently", and after the producer saw the finished film, he directly released the DVD, which was only released in China and Russia, and the global box office did not reach $1 million...

Then no one dared to ask him to film, so he ran back to China and tinkered with a "Lu Bu and Diao Chan"...

"Mei Lanfang" is not good, in addition to not making biopics honestly and too many private goods, the biggest problem is that Director Chen's "smartness" is actually smart but mistaken by cleverness.

Lao Li filmed "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", and felt that Zhao Yun was too lonely, so he made up an NPC big brother for Zhao Yun, and he rummaged through the history books, and there was no such a person. is in line with the consistent urine nature of Hong Kong films, and if you don't have a brother, you have to be a brother.

Director Chen, I feel that Mei Lanfang also loves Japan, even more than Chinese, in order to highlight this, the director arranged for a Japanese to cut himself off.

exploded fake, so fake that the audience's threshold couldn't stand it, and the entire movie-watching experience plummeted.

Lao Li's background is here, he can't understand a literary Sancao, a Zhuge Liang who writes a teacher's table.

He can only understand the character from Saigon Street to Square Street, so he has to add NPCs.

Brother Kai is probably too smart, and his films, not only as the comments say, are the same as the sex life of men of his age, the first half is firm, and the second half is weak. What's more, Director Chen's own additions, the private goods of the drama that he thinks history should develop, are precisely the parts that he thinks he is extremely strong.

Mei Lanfang's youth, Mei Lanfang's beard and ambition, are all very shining places for this character, but don't forget, everything is in the context of the War of Resistance Against Japan, to paraphrase a famous saying, art may have no borders, but the director and characters definitely have borders.

If the director continues to fall into the self-obscenity and exaltation of deconstructing history, it will inevitably dilute the original touching power of history.

This is also the problem of "The Legend of the Demon Cat"!

"The Legend of the Demon Cat" is actually a really good theme.

The theme that the little director can't think of, cats can speak human words, and in the end it is really a cat!

The General Administration really gave enough face, change to a low-budget little horror movie, what cats are not cats, all of them are banned for you!

In the final analysis, Director Chen, who is detached from the masses and a good screenwriter, has been on top for too long.

disdains to shoot the common people, so he is willing to shoot talented and beautiful people, emperors and generals, and shoot handsome guys dressed in fine dust.

The pattern should be large, the force should be high, and there is no goods in the stomach.

The status quo is such a status quo, whether it is a first-line director or a cultural boss, he has mastered a lot of capital, resources and social influence, he is busy with entertainment, he is not good at reading and studying, he has no profound thoughts, he sits on the mountain, and supports the pattern.
