Chapter 525 Film Review

Film Critic's Lost Ink - "Let's Talk About Jiangxia's Movie"

Jiang Xia is a very talented person, and I like his martial arts novels very much. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhether it's the original Condor Trilogy, or the "Dragon Babu" that I think is the pinnacle, or even the "Deer and Ding Ji" of the little people, I like it very much. I don't listen to much of his songs, so I don't comment on them. I didn't watch much of the TV series, and I didn't evaluate it. Here, I will mainly talk about his movie "Star Wish".

In the past two years, I don't know when it started, as long as movies were made in China, all of them went to make 3D movies, perhaps because of the box office, under the same number of moviegoers, the box office of 3D movies was higher, but some movies are not suitable for making 3D. For example, romance movies, as well as some art films.

Romance movies haven't had a very classic movie for many years, and some movies may be good at the box office, but they are not classics, and the reason is not the story, but the performance.

The story of a love movie will not be very complicated, and how to tell this uncomplicated story well is a test of the director's skills.

As the director of "Star Wish", Jiang Xia is very mature in his grasp of the picture and rhythm. The picture is very clean, bright and concise. There are no big scenes in the whole film, and the most people in the whole film are also the graveyard scene, but there are dozens of people, most of them are two or three people, the picture is extremely simple, telling everyone who is the protagonist.

Another advantage of having fewer actors is that it is not easy to make mistakes. Shen Zhongling's acting skills are typical idol acting skills, and there are obvious traces of idol performances, which is a habit left over from acting too many idol dramas, but it has been corrected a lot by Jiang Xia, so in the process of playing, the performance is very natural. Gong Shan's acting skills have come up with a very high level, judging from the benchmark of this movie, except for Chu Zhijun, Gong Shan's acting skills are the best, and he deserves to be the uncrowned actress.

The whole film has Jiang Xia's style, he is the director, screenwriter, and starring actor. It's the first time I've seen Jiang Xia's performance, and the difficulty of his role performance is not big, but it's not small, but in the blind stage, it really makes me feel that he is a blind person, not a blind person who performs. The reason why he has such a feeling is that after he came back from resurrection, his smart and emotional eyes were impressive, and when he compared it, he realized how profound the performance of the blind man in front of him was. When playing against Chu Zhijun, under the pressure of Chu Lao, he and Chu Lao have their own merits, and among the new generation of actors, there are less than five people who can do this.

Jiang Xia chose a love movie very smartly, the small part is the best to see the acting skills, but his overall film has a taste of idol commercial films. The three leading actors are all handsome guys and beautiful women, just selling stars like other love movies, they can have a good box office, not to mention that the acting skills are so good, this is going for the classics.

The music of the film is also the highlight, the background soundtrack of the whole film is not complicated, but each capital appears just right, the rendering of the atmosphere, and the contrast of the mood perfectly meet the requirements. Jiang Xia should have put a lot of effort into this movie, it is said that it took a full four months to shoot alone, judging from this film, it is definitely very hard to shoot.

In today's 3D movie rampant, there is such a 2D love movie, not delicate and pretentious, indifferent and independent, with a super high standard, with the full sincerity of a new filmmaker, waiting to taste, it is too rare.

I am optimistic about Jiang Xia, he is a person who is sincerely making movies, and his works will not deceive people. A person who is not sincere in making movies can't make such a quiet movie, and can't make such a delicate vicarious inheritance.

In the current film industry, there are too few such cutting-edge directors and directors who make movies sincerely.

Film Critics' Lost Youth - "The Love Concept of Movie Star Wishes":

In the past half month, whether I go out or surf the Internet, it seems that I am surrounded by a movie called "Star Wish", and there is promotion of this movie everywhere, I am idle and bored today, and I went to the theater to watch this movie at night, and after watching it, I immediately wanted to write something.

First of all, I don't have a good impression of Jiang Xia himself. Friends who know me know that what I like is the kind of love that has always been in love, and I don't let go if I decide it. Jiang Xia lives three big beauties in a room, and the chaos of his private life makes me want to scold him, gossip less, and get back to the point.

I don't have a good impression of Jiangxia, but it doesn't affect my liking of the movie "Star Wish", it really made me cry when I watched this movie, I haven't cried after watching a movie for a long time, which is enough to prove how good this film is. There will be a little spoiler below, don't watch it if you don't like it.

Onion Head is a deaf and mute man who falls in love with Akio, the nurse who takes care of him. This is a very simple love story, we all like people who are good to ourselves, and no one likes people who are bad to us. Onion likes Akio and is very easy to understand.

Can you imagine that a person who lives in the dark, feels the warmth like the sun, feels the tenderness like the breeze, how can he not sink in love?

Qiu Nan likes onions, and when the film is not officially introduced, we can see it from some details. The most typical is Qiu Nan's eyes, a person's eyes can't hide affection, the onion head appears from the first shot, and when he looks at the onion head, the strong affection seems to be conveyed through the big screen. Gong Shan's performance is really amazing.

Why does Qiu Nan, a beautiful female nurse, like the blind and dumb onion head? According to our understanding, she should have been held and raised since she was a child, and the pursuers will be discharged for dozens of miles, how can she fall in love with the onion head?

The film gives us the answer, because Onion is the object of her story, because Onion is a good person.

A woman likes a man, maybe through chatting, maybe through understanding, maybe through appearance, but more through heart-to-heart. Qiu Nan chose to tell Onion about his thoughts, and Onion answered her questions, comforted her, and encouraged her. I'm an autumn man, and I'll love onions too.

Dr. Hu also likes Qiu Nan, he is pursuing Qiu Nan, just like in all idol dramas, Dr. Hu is handsome, rich, and successful, but he can't get the love of the heroine, the reason is that the heroine has someone she likes, and she is more willing to get close to the onion head whose heart is closer to her.

What the film shows here may be Jiang Xia's concept of love, he believes that love should be the distance between hearts and hearts, and has nothing to do with appearance, wealth or poverty, but only the hearts of two people. Originally, I thought this was the benchmark for his whole film, but after watching it, I realized that he has a deeper meaning.

When the onion head died, Jiang Xia took advantage of Qiu Nan's regret to tell everyone that if he likes it, he must say it, otherwise he may miss it permanently.

At the same time, he also used the performance of the onion for the first five days to tell everyone that when he left, he should leave completely, otherwise it would be two people who suffered.

In the end, Onion and Qiu Nan recognize each other, but they are separated, and they are conveying that first love is always unwilling.

Each of us has had our first love, and we have all had emotional separations. First love is always beautiful, worth remembering, and remembering. Separation is always painful, and someone always goes first.

Throughout the film, Jiang Xia conveys four views of love through the three stages before and after, but the combination is so reasonable. I have to admit that Jiang Xia, who writes love songs very well, has a good grasp of love.

The most touching love song is not sweet and sweet, but parting and combining. The same is true of the most touching feelings, the feelings of separation are more distressing and shocking than consummate love. Jiang Xia grasped this point, and did not write about perfect love like everyone else, but used imperfection to move the audience, and he did it.

Jiang Xia did not use twists and turns to convey his views on love, but instead integrated his views into a simple story, and the whole film is very good and worth watching.

Film critic Meiyou Maobing - "Star Wish is a Commercial Movie"

went to see Gong Shan's last film "Star Wish" before the film, and also heard her last song before the film, according to the end credits, I know that the song is called "Star Wish", the movie is a good movie, but it can't be said that the movie has no problems.

The overall rating of this movie, I would give a high score, but it can't hide the fact that this movie is a commercial film through and through.

First of all, look at the actors, Jiang Xia, Gong Shan, Shen Zhongling, three singers. Even if Gong Shan's acting skills are good, Jiang Xia and Shen Zhongling have also acted in TV series, but they are not pure actors in the end, and the atmosphere of the whole movie is so inauthentic. Handsome guys and beautiful women sell their faces to attract the audience.

The difference from other commercial movies is that the banner is not a commercial movie, but a love movie. In fact, the inside is the same as the love movies in the past few years, they are all handsome guys and beauties, and they all have sadistic plots. Jiang Xia did even more absolutely, other people's abuse is just a process of abuse, and it is still good in the end, but he directly said that he died, and the end was all abuse, I can't help but say that he is bold enough, and he dares to challenge the tragic love story.

Gong Shan is the biggest actor in the whole movie and the heroine, and she alone can attract hundreds of millions of box office. Shen Zhongling also has a lot of fans, and watching Shen Zhongling's first movie, he will definitely come to support him. As for Jiang Xia, he is a narcissist, and the promotional videos only have four words about Jiang Xia's works, which seems to be branding himself, and his fans are estimated to be a lot, and now he is the only singer in the music industry who can maintain album sales, and the movies he plays will definitely be able to call on a group of people.

This movie, the original design, must be to use stars to attract audiences and absorb the box office, which is a commercial film and idol movie aimed at making money. The story of the whole movie is extremely simple, which is a typical idol drama routine. The tall male number two, the competition is not the average male number one. Also, car accidents and early deaths, what a familiar routine, what a typical idol movie?

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that the movie did not give a happy ending in the end, otherwise it would really become an idol drama.

In addition, the movie is very sincere, and the overall shooting is very good, much better than those same idol love movies. After seeing enough of the kind of urban love between men and women with small favors, and then looking at this somewhat fantasy love story, I feel very interesting and moving.

Movies can be worth the ticket price, and now there are too few love movies that can be worth the ticket price, even if it is a commercial movie, it is also a commercial movie with a conscience.

Film Critic Yingluo Kuchigi - "The Details of the Movie Star's Wish"

Jiang Xia is a complete newcomer to the film industry, but the movies he makes are very sophisticated.

I won't say much about the plot, let me talk about the details of the whole movie, many places were confirmed after watching the movie twice, which contributed to the box office of two tickets.

The time of the film's story, which is not modern, is reflected in the details as follows. First, the hospital in the movie has relatively old equipment and archival equipment. Two, the old thing of the radio. Third, the TVs are all small screens and big backs. Fourth, the cars are all antique models. Fifth, clothing is not popular now. Sixth, hairstyles are also not fashionable. Seventh, the landline used for calling. Eighth, the time to read the diary. Nine, the arrangement of the bedrooms.

All I can remember are these eight places, all of which are relatively subtle, and there is no time in the whole film except for the time when I read the diary.

Jiang Xia has done a very good job in restoring the details, just by seeing those things, you can feel that they are not things of our time, but looking at the past with our current eyes, it is also abrupt, and the composition of the lens is very detailed.

In addition to the details of the set, there are also echoes in the plot and lines, just like a composition, which echoes before and after, symmetrical and neat. I won't mention the specifics, just a few points. First, the onion-headed monologue at the beginning of the film echoes the monologue of Qiu Nan at the end of the film. Second, the onion head does several things at the beginning of the film, teasing the birds, drinking soda, massage, and knowing that the daughter of the Chumbo Pearl is dead, echoes the dialogue when the onion head recognizes the identity of the onion head. Three, when making a wish on a meteor, the arc drawn on the door of his head echoes the arc drawn by Qiu Nan after he recognized the identity of the onion head.

There are also some details of the plot and lines, there are too many to mention.

Jiang Xia's treatment of details also lies in some more subtle places. We all know that when making a movie, a shot may be shot for a long time, and it may be shot for several days, but in the whole film, I looked at it with a provocative eye, and I didn't find a goof. That is, the characters and sets on each shot are exactly the same, even the scenery on the table.

At the end of the film, Dr. Hu plays the saxophone, before which Qiu Nan was sleeping on the table, and then he was knocked on the door and shouted out when he was awake to read. I watched the movie for the second time, and the two shots before and after, the things on the table were not the same, and there was an extra box of open candy, which proved that the lens shooting was not a perfunctory shooting, but took into account the changes in the process of the characters.

Seeing the subtle knowledge, Jiang Xia really worked hard to shoot this movie. I can see his intentions and sincerity from all aspects. The film is definitely a rare good movie, and I recommend everyone to watch it.
