Chapter 1216
In a theater near Chinatown in Los Angeles, North America, Yang Hao sat in his seat and glanced around the theater. Yang Hao couldn't help but feel a little troubled in his heart, the attendance rate was not very high, this was a theater that could accommodate 100 people, not a big theater, but it could also roughly estimate an attendance rate.
There are only 200 screenings of "The Speed of Life and Death", but today's attendance rate is not too high, at least in Yang Hao's feelings.
Although it is a daytime and a weekday, the attendance rate is really a bit low, and there are only about 20 audiences in the entire theater.
Many of the audience are Chinese faces.
Yes, generally speaking, once a Chinese film is screened in North America, most of the time, the screening venue will be arranged in some theaters in Chinese gathering places.
After all, compared to them, these Chinese Americans are more able to understand Chinese movies.
At this time, the movie has not yet started, but the audience is discussing the movie.
"Liu Zhen, why did you suddenly invite us to see this movie? Do you know the director of this movie?" a Chinese audience member asked another Chinese next to him.
"I know, director Yang Hao, "Infernal Affairs" was filmed by him, didn't you say that you like "Infernal Affairs" the most? Why can't you even remember Yang Hao's name?" Liu Zhen said with a smile.
"Director Yang Hao, the director of "Infernal Affairs"? But "Infernal Affairs", I remember that it seems to have been filmed by Lin Xiao, right?, why is it Yang Hao?" Chen Fangyuan asked with some confusion.
"It was written and starred by Lin Xiao, but it was not filmed by Lin Xiao. Liu Zhen said.
At this time, "The Speed of Life and Death" began to be screened.
The theater, which was originally a little noisy, gradually quieted down.
Yang Hao has been paying attention to the reaction of the audience in the theater, and the result has not disappointed Yang Hao.
From the moment the movie began to play, the audience was obviously mobilized, or driven by the rapid rhythm, and they didn't have the heart to think about anything else, and they all stared at the big screen intently.
The plot of "Speed of Life and Death" is really not complicated, or it adheres to the rules of commercial films, and the plot of the movie is very simple.
Of course, the biggest feature of "Speed of Life and Death" itself is the rhythm, not the plot, of course, it can't be said that the plot is not important, but if it is a simple drama, "Speed of Life and Death" is obviously not too good.
After all, "Life and Death" is not a pure drama of that kind, but an action thriller.
The audience in the theater was a little curious about this movie, but when it opened, the theater officially jinru the rhythm of "The Speed of Life and Death".
From time to time, the audience exclaimed, but no one left their positions, for fear that they would miss the wonderful passage after leaving for a while.
When you see that the bus is loaded with a deception, and this deception is controlled by speed, and the speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour will start the deception, but below this speed, then the timed deception will be directly cleared to zero.
Therefore, the name of the speed of life and death is born.
"Speed of Life and Death" is to create a very tense and exciting environment background for the audience, and then peel off the cocoon and fight wits and courage.
"The Speed of Life and Death" ended quickly.
"I'm rubbing, it's over, I can't hold it back, I shouldn't drink water if I'm so meowing!"
"It's really fast, but I like it. ”
"The life and death of the movie "Speed of Life and Death" is also related to the way it is edited!"
"Abandon all the slow-down plots, and let the audience fall into a tense and exciting atmosphere throughout the whole process, "Speed of Life and Death" is appropriate!"
"It's a very bold attempt, it makes the audience nervous all the way, there is not a single superfluous shot, it is definitely worth watching!"
It's almost a good review, of course, most of it is for the rhythm of this film.
Most literary films, movies that follow the art stream, are slow-paced and often have a procrastinating plot, so ordinary audiences naturally don't like it too much, but slow-paced literary movies are the favorite movies of those "old people".
Many times, commercial films are disliked by veteran film critics because of their tight pace, but "Speed of Life and Death" is an exception, and everything that is done to the extreme will undergo qualitative changes.
For example, "Speed of Life and Death", it can be said that it is really adventurous, fast-paced, and the plot is compact, such a movie, it stands to reason that those discerning film critics should not like it, but there are exceptions to everything, "Speed of Life and Death" is indeed a commercial movie, but this is a very brave new attempt.
Everyone knows that a movie is not a good movie, because most of the time, ** needs to be foreshadowed, just like pretending to slap your face, you have to first suppress and then raise, so that the audience can reach the best cool point at the moment of slapping your face.
It's too slow, it's definitely not good, the audience doesn't have that good patience, but it's too fast, and the same can't work, because this usually makes the audience lack a sense of coolness, even if it's **, it's still difficult to bring people a very pleasant spiritual enjoyment.
However, "Speed of Life and Death" is not constant, but adopts the method of suspense and crisis, and constantly creates suspense and crisis, so that the audience can see that a crisis has just been solved, but a wave of unsettled waves arises, and the next crisis comes one after another, so that you don't have the heart to consider whether the plot is reasonable or not, whether it is logical or not, etc.
In general, it makes it difficult for the audience to think about things like the plot loopholes of the movie when watching the movie, because you have been led by the plot of the movie, plus the rhythm is bright and compact, so "Speed of Life and Death" can be said to be very bold and very risky.
Because of such a movie, generally speaking, some viewers will have some discomfort after watching it, and the spirit that has been tense will make the audience feel tired, which is not a good thing for the movie.
In fact, the drawbacks were also shown when it was released in China, and "Speed of Life and Death" rarely had two or three brushes, because this movie, according to the audience's words, although it was very cool to watch, it was very tiring to watch, unless you wanted to find abuse, otherwise, two or three brushes are not recommended.
Although "Speed of Life and Death" also has elements such as love, romance, heroes saving beauty, speed of life and death, warmth, and tension and excitement, these things are all deviated from the original effect by the rhythm.
"The Hangover" is one suspense and surprise after another, but because it is a comedy, it does not make people feel tired.
Although the plot of "Prison in the Air" is also very compact, the pace is not so fast, mixed with the creation of a character, and the subplot is added from time to time, so that the movie will not seem so monotonous.
"Speed of Life and Death" is different, this film really has no side plots, and it has always revolved around the main line.
