Chapter 528: Desire to promote and suppress

When Liu Zichao and Dang Wenjun, two good friends, entered the theater and sat down with popcorn and coke, the movie theater was almost full.

When queuing, Liu Zichao once carefully observed, among the audience in line, young people like him accounted for almost half, and there were many couples, of course, he didn't think too much about the meaning behind this, he just thought that his choice was very correct, and he would not be ashamed to say it.

Liu Zichao is not a fan of Zhou Bai's Donnie Yen or director Cheng Xiaodong, although he has also seen some of Zhou Bai's film works, but he is not a movie fan, the reason why he wants to watch "Fast Pursuit" is because he was attracted by the style presented in the trailer, and the clean and neat action made him feel cool, and when he was flooded on the Internet, he also saw many people discussing this movie, and seized a rare opportunity to relax, he chose this popular summer vacation film.

"I hope the blockbuster is worthy of its name, if it's bad, I will never watch Zhou Bai's movies in the future. When he sat down and waited for the movie to start, Liu Zichao said to Dang Wenjun that if the feeling of watching the movie is very bad, it is really a big loss, and he is really afraid that the rare leisure time will be exchanged for a torture of more than an hour.

"I have confidence in Zhou Bai, he doesn't seem to have acted in a bad movie, after all, he is a Berlin actor, this movie is produced by his company, the quality is guaranteed, you see that many people of our age have grabbed tickets for the premiere, which shows that there is no problem with his reputation. Dang Wenjun turned his head and whispered, full of confidence.

"When did you become a fan of Zhou Bai? Don't you like to watch literary films?" Liu Zichao was a little surprised.

"I can only be regarded as half a movie fan, there is one thing to say, I was really not interested in domestic movies before, I liked it after watching his "Fifty Times of First Love" and "My Savage Girlfriend", I also saw the movie of the Berlin actor who was bored on the Internet, it was really good-looking, not dull at all, much more exciting than I imagined, I was looking for resources on the Internet, tell you, it's hard for you to imagine his performance with Gong Li in the movie, it really deserves to be able to win the Berlin actor together, it really makes me cry like a dog. Dang Wenjun touched his nose and said with some embarrassment, and he was also excited to be a fan.

Dang Wenjun's reason for watching movies is simpler than Liu Zichao's, when he is bored and hangs up in games, he looks for some movies to watch and just pass the time, who would have thought that he would be a fan and become half a fan, that is, the legendary passerby fan.

When Liu Zichao was about to continue, the movie theater went dark, and the two of them were shocked and stopped talking, because this was a signal that the movie was about to be released, and it was best not to chat at this time, after all, there were other people in the movie theater.

The familiar opening of the dragon mark is shocking, the time is not long, only five seconds, and then there are the film titles of the companies involved in the production of Baixiang Studio, New Pictures, Huayi, etc., for movie audiences, the titles of these companies are already very familiar pictures.

At the beginning of the movie, it firmly attracted the attention of all the audience, in the dark, the sound of the English weather radio slowly came, the radio mentioned the storm and other weather, and when the picture was bright, it was a remote old factory in the night, the black car slowly hit the cement pier in front of the factory, stopped, the camera swept, the broken glass and various dents showed that the scarred car had suffered many violent impacts and other injuries before.

The car door slowly opened, and the actor in a suit played by Zhou Bai was extremely embarrassed and got out of the car almost by falling, his pale face and dripping sweat, his hand covering his abdomen was dripping with blood, and his painful expression conveyed to the audience that he was seriously injured at this moment, and after some struggle, he staggered forward for a distance, and finally he leaned on the edge of the guardrail with his dying breath.

The actor took out an iPod from the pocket of his suit, and after clicking on it, the screen lit up, which was an intimate daily conversation between a woman and him that he shot with a handheld DV, looking at the picture above, the sadness and longing in the actor's expression were difficult to hide, and slowly the dying man fell on the edge of the guardrail, gradually closed his eyes, and the hand holding the iPod was also released, falling to the ground, and the movie screen gradually went black.

"I'll rub it, is the actor hanging up at the beginning?" Liu Zichao couldn't help but whisper to his good friend, and a whispered discussion also sounded in the movie theater.

Fortunately, the scene of the movie going black did not last long, just a few seconds, and the title of the fast chase lit up, and the audience reacted to it, it turned out that this part of the plot was also part of the opening credits.

The rhythm of "Fast Pursuit" is not to enter the tense plot immediately at the beginning, for the movie, the cause and effect need to be clearly explained, and the dying plot of the male protagonist at the beginning of the film is to create suspense and attract the audience's attention.

In fact, this editing is very successful, at least the audience in the cinema is firmly attracted, why the actor is injured, the car looks like it has endured a violent fight, and what is the significance of the picture he cherishes so much to the actor, these will be factors that arouse the curiosity of the audience.

For professional film critics, the editing technique of inverting the front and back is not a groundbreaking thing, and the use of inverted and interspersed editing methods to make the film more novel and chic, the classic movie "Citizen Kane" decades ago has long been played, and it has been very successful, and now this kind of inversion has become a common editing technique for films, and even for professional filmmakers, it is just a conventional weapon.

But for a commercial film, conventional techniques are not a crime, art films usually make a lot of experimental techniques on the lens and picture, subversive and even anti-montage is not surprising, but if commercial films dare to play like this, the possibility of hitting the street will definitely skyrocket, and commercial films involving a lot of money can no longer be found to dare to play like this, because history has long shown that those who dare to ignore the audio-visual language of the film, and even ignore the commercial factors will not end well.

The editing of "Fast Pursuit" is very successful, the connection of short shots is very smooth, the first 20 minutes of the beginning still firmly attract the audience's attention, although the progressive plot does not have climaxes, the skirmishes are continuous, and the audience will not feel bored at all.

The first 20 minutes of the movie are actually foreshadowing, completely explaining the hero's loss of his wife and depression, explaining his relationship with his wife through camera flashbacks, the pain of losing his wife, to the fact that he was targeted by the gang boss's son, the car was robbed, the dog was killed, and his wife's widow was smashed and spit.

"Damn, the actor is so miserable. In the cinema, Dang Wenjun and Liu Zichao both felt sad for the hero's experience and sympathized with the pain he suffered.

In fact, this is what Zhou Bai wants to see, the more painful the actor is in the early stage, the more happy the audience will be when he starts killing in the later stage, only when the audience empathizes with the hero's experience, his violent counterattack will be more legitimate, and the killing Quartet will be more burning.

You kill my dog, I want to take the life of your whole family's dogs, this is the stalk that the audience later ridiculed the plot of "Fast Pursuit", and it is also a complaint about the lack of persuasiveness of the movie, Zhou Bai deliberately strengthened the suffering suffered by the male protagonist, and did enough to suppress the male protagonist, and also found a perfect reason for his revenge.
