Chapter 104: Praise!
Qin Wei is very powerful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, at the level of Li Qian, graduated from the film academy, although he did not take classes so honestly in four years of college, he still did not dare to fall behind in the courses he should learn, and in the film room of the academy, he also watched all kinds of messy and uneven films, so if you talk about the level of art appreciation, although you dare not say that you are outstanding, it is definitely much higher than that of ordinary people.
But movies are so art, and they can only be liked by people who know how and have a high level of art appreciation - especially commercial films, which are out-and-out art for the general public.
A good commercial film, with a storytelling and a cross talk, although the artistic categories are different and the forms of expression are different, but its essence is popular and commercial storytelling.
Whoever plays deep on commercial films, who dies fast!
Qin Wei's past movies, Li Qian has seen them all.
His films are known for their textured and impactful lens language, the actors' refined "traceless" performances, and their ability to capture the joys and sorrows of the little people.
It is his specialty to reflect the joys and sorrows of small people and to refract various social phenomena - especially he likes to set off and render the atmosphere through a large number of fragmented life details, and portray the situation of characters in a special social background.
To put it simply, he is a director who firmly believes that "details are the devil".
A "Red Light District" made him internationally famous and completely confirmed his status as an international film master.
However, can such a person turn to commercial movies and make blockbusters?
In this regard, not only Li Qian, in fact, there were quite a lot of doubts inside and outside the industry before-a director with a delicate style and playing art, once he transforms into a commercial film, it is often difficult to get out of the previous small box.
What do you need for a commercial film?
A good-looking, refreshing, and preferably logical and self-justifying story!
This is fundamental!
Then, a smooth narrative is essential to keep the audience's attention on the screen for 90 minutes or even 120 minutes!
On this basis, if there are still a few vivid and bright characters to be portrayed, then you will be awesome - if you do this, you can basically be regarded as a celebrity, and the box office is difficult to fall below 100 million!
The male protagonists in Zhao Meicheng's urban comedy, although it is easy to be the same, and the male protagonists of the two movies before and after are largely homogeneous, but you have to admit that his characters are both down-to-earth and vivid!
Then, of course, the heroes and heroines of "My Sassy Girlfriend" are all successful character creations! And in the latest movie "Huang Feihong", Li Qian did his best to build the bearing of Huang Feihong's generation of grandmasters, and it was also for character building! For this reason, to be honest, whether it is the original version in my mind or this version of Li Qian, I really can't spare more pen and ink and space for the heroine, so I can only pick a beautiful girl to play the vase!
Anyway, in this kind of commercial movie, even if the heroine is complained about being a vase, as long as she is beautiful enough, it is enough to cover up all the shortcomings - the movie has only been released for a little more than a week, and Lu Lingxi's popularity is no worse than Zhou Baoshan!
When it comes to character building, Qin Wei claims to be the second, and it is estimated that Du Weiyun will claim to be the first in China, anyway, they don't like each other all year round - but Qin Wei's character shaping and mastery skills are something that Du Weiyun has to convince, although if you ask him this question, he is likely to avoid talking about it.
Therefore, whether Qin Wei can make a good commercial blockbuster, the core point is whether he can tell the story of a commercial hero and beauty smoothly!
You must know that it is also profound, although Du Weiyun's "Thorn Qin" did quite well at the box office, and on the whole, it can be regarded as a good story with clear ideas, but his narration is difficult to be named "smooth", and in many places, his plot seems to be too procrastinated - this is the trap that he is difficult to pick out as an art director.
However, after seeing "The Door of Life and Death" for thirty minutes, Li Qian had to admire.
The story is very simple, and it can be summed up in two sentences: "Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts", "Father's hatred is not shared"!
A generation of wonder men was suddenly arrested, and then died mysteriously in the public gate, his wife wanted to seek justice from the government, but then also died mysteriously, leaving only an infant son - well, in fact, to put it bluntly, this is typical of the prince's revenge!
Their son is naturally the hero.
The actor was adopted by his father's best friend, recognized as an adopted son, raised him, and taught him martial arts, but this child did not seem to inherit his parents' martial arts talent at all, until he was eighteen years old, he still learned nothing, and he was contaminated with a prodigal habit, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all fine, but his father-in-law has always been very good to him, and he is about to marry him a daughter-in-law, and the girl is still the daughter of another famous hero in the rivers and lakes, but on the contrary, he seems to prefer his sister-in-law! And his sister-in-law also has a soft spot for him.
But the order of his parents made him have to follow his father-in-law on the road and go to the other party's house to propose marriage.
Then, at the house of his future father-in-law, by chance, he suddenly learned his true identity and began to embark on the road of revenge......
Thirty minutes, only thirty minutes, the story is smooth, the pace is extremely fast, clearly understood but quietly does everything - although compared to his previous films, the characters are a little rough, but under the premise of such a fast pace, he still clearly outlines the prodigal and romantic but righteous and kind character of the male protagonist through several details, the two heroines, his stepfather and biological parents also have their own styles, and he really can't ask him to do better!
Even, although Guo Yulong has always been known for being good at playing handsome, really, this is the first time that Li Qian has discovered that Guo Yulong's eyes and evil smile can be so sultry!
The three heroines, Ming Xiaojing's heroic girl who begs for her husband's explanation is arrogant and tender, He Yingyu's sister-in-law is bright and naughty, and Fu Hongxue's fiancée is jubilant and chivalrous!
Just looking at these 30 minutes, all Li Qian can give is three words - praise!
Look at it again, although the routine of the story is very old, but under the control of Qin Wei, it is like a river flowing eastward, going thousands of miles, and there is no turning back!
And in fact, although the old story is an old story, he still tells a lot of new ideas!
By chance, he broke the "death barrier" that he couldn't cultivate, and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, and then found out the truth and went thousands of miles away to take revenge, but from the mouth of the dying enemy, he suddenly learned that the person who united with the imperial court and even said that the court was moved at the beginning was the generation of heroes who no longer think about second people in the rivers and lakes - his father-in-law!
A decent, but previously buried deep terrier looks particularly beautiful when reversed!
Then, the story came to a tragic end.
The male protagonist contacts all the forces that can be contacted and launches the final revenge.
The male protagonist's sister-in-law played by He Yingyu finally broke her arm and chose to lose her hair as a nun, and the fiancée played by Fu Hongxue finally married the male protagonist, as for the enemy, of course she is dead......
At the end of the story, outside the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, when the male protagonist used a horse to carry back his bride, the righteous sister played by He Yingyu stood on the mountain and looked down from the sky, looking at the clean courtyard of the world, with a relieved but distant smile on her face - this scene, many people sighed.
The big screen went dark, and soon, the subtitles began to appear.
There was a moment of silence in the screening room, and then the applause began to burst in, and soon developed into a grand applause of hundreds of people in the room.
Someone in front of him stood up one after another, and Li Qian also stood up, sincerely giving his applause for such a blockbuster - the only regret is that although He Yingyu acted quite well, it feels like she is not as brilliant as Fu Hongxue!
Or can you say that this is the relationship between the characters in the script?
In short, whether it is from the perspective of a director or a pure movie audience, Li Qian feels that He Yingyu was suppressed by Fu Hongxue!
At least Fu Hongxue will be more likely to attract attention and attract fans!
However, if you want to say that He Yingyu did not act well, that is obviously not true!
That's why it's a pity.
It's not that the "savage girlfriend" is not good enough, it's that "Su Daji" is too strong.
…………
Amid the applause, the headlights in the screening room lit up.
Just like the premiere of "Once Upon a Time", they also have to have an interview and interactive session.
Taking advantage of the fading applause, Bai Yujing leaned over through Cheng Su's bottle again and said, "Master Qin is very powerful!
Cheng Suhua also half-turned around and looked at Li Qian with a pair of pretty eyes.
Li Qian shrugged, "Bumper and see!"
…………
Qin Wei received much higher praise than Li Qian on the day of the premiere of "Once Upon a Time".
However, in terms of the quality of "The Door of Life and Death", this kind of praise makes people speechless - a film critic who was invited to the stage, I don't know if Hu Fei found it, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly praised "The Door of Life and Death" on the altar!
He said: "The Gate of Life and Death" is the culmination and peak of Chinese martial arts movies for more than 30 years!
Qin Wei himself is very modest, saying that during the transition period, he just hopes to tell a good story.
When the host asked about the box office war between "The Gate of Life and Death" and "Once Upon a Time", Qin Wei smiled and said, "Let's watch it, it doesn't affect each other." ”
