Chapter 352: A Different Performance
Thousand people hall, this is not the first time Zhou Bai has had a movie released in such a tall place, when "Hero" was released before, it was also in the thousand people hall, and "My Father and Mother" was even earlier, so strictly speaking, this is the third time that there has been this kind of treatment.
But this time the feeling is very different from the previous two times, this is the first time that Zhou Bai has played the absolute leading role in a movie released in Berlin, plus this is a project led by himself, and he knows better than anyone how much effort he has put into it, so it is inevitable that he will pay extra attention to it, and as the movie is about to start screening, he is more and more excited.
"My Father and Mother" is a big heroine, Zhou Bai's role is not too much, if it weren't for his unexpected amazing performance, I'm afraid that the protagonist is a little reluctant, Zhang Ziyi is a veritable protagonist, and even when the movie is ranked, Sun Honglei's name may be ranked in front of him, but his performance in the movie is really amazing, and he has become the leading actor in just twenty or thirty minutes.
In "Hero", Zhou Bai can be called the second actor, and the first actor belongs to Li Lianjie Undoubtedly, no matter the position, the role Zhou Bai can't feel that he is the first actor in the face of an international star-level actor like Li Lianjie, because the facts are there, irrefutable.
Although his performance in the movie is better than Li Lianjie, and he and Zhang Manyu have created a classic on-screen couple image, but in commercial films, there is always a feeling of not being able to let go, which is also a small regret in Zhou Bai's heart.
"Painless Love" is different, he is the absolute first protagonist, and it can even be said that the perspective of the whole movie revolves around the male number one he plays, and Gong Li's role is relatively less than him.
Exhaled softly, Zhou Bai also sat down, the guests were all seated, the movie was about to start, he put away all the chaotic thoughts, calmed down, and sat down quietly to watch his movie.
At the beginning of his debut, Zhou Bai often couldn't help but look at his works from the perspective of scrutiny, to put it bluntly, he was much more critical of his performance than the audience, and this habit has been maintained until now.
After the simple movie opening passed, the camera suddenly brightened, the first shot was aimed at Zhou Bai's face, some bearded, decadent eyes, shrunken in the winter, after washing his face, after getting dressed, Zhou Bai was in a daze in front of the mirror, just like that, a man with a condensed brow and a sorrowful look appeared in front of the audience, and the shaping of light and shadow made the image of the character clear at once.
Very simple shot, no lines, the only sound effect is the sound of the program on the radio, he moves naturally in front of the mirror, without a trace of deliberateness, but after this simple and clear shot, the audience has begun to feel another feeling.
"This shot is interesting, it is very different from Xiaobao's previous movies, and his skills can be seen. Du Qifeng and Liu Weiqiang next to him said, originally there was some carelessness, but now they sat up straight.
"The actors' performances are good, do you know which shot I remember? Liu Weiqiang's eyes lit up, but he was amazed by Zhou Bai's performance.
Du Qifeng bowed slightly, he also agreed with Liu Weiqiang's opinion, this performance seems to be very ordinary, but if something is a little wrong, the taste of the whole scene will change, this kind of performance especially tests the actor's skills.
The plot continues, and when Gong Li appeared, the audience was taken aback again, this time Gong Li's role was different from any role she had played before, this time Gong Li's role seemed to have something unspeakable, which was refreshing.
Lao Mouzi was also a little surprised, this is a very special image, Gong Li uses a subversive performance method in the past, and the roles she creates are very different, the extra kind of thing, he thought about it for a while, and felt that it was a breath of life.
This breath of life is not to say that it has gone through vicissitudes of life, nor is it the so-called fireworks, but when you see her, you will feel as if she is a person living next to you, very real, as if you have seen her many times, she is someone in your life.
Gong Li's previous roles, of course, can't be said to be ungrounded, whether it is "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" or "The Red Lantern Hangs High", but she said that after all, she played a role in the twenties and thirties, and no matter how real and wonderful that kind of role is, you won't feel that she is someone in your life.
When this time, Zhou Bai and Gong Li's performances smoothed out the so-called role distance at once, and the characters that appeared seemed to be by your side, so real that people didn't have any doubts.
In fact, the timeline of "Painless Love" is very chaotic compared to other movies, and the chaos of various plots and characters can even make people feel confused, but fortunately, the editor deeply understood the story of this movie and did not turn it into a god-like science fiction film.
The main body of the story is still not difficult to understand, the heroes and heroines played by Zhou Bai and Gong Li, like ordinary couples, meet, know, fall in love, run-in, quarrel, and break up, if it is just like this, this movie may still be an ordinary love movie, but as the heroine uses extreme means to get the other party out of her life and choose to delete her memory, it makes the movie move to another level.
"OMG, I like this setting, people's memories can be erased, it's cool. A young viewer couldn't help but whisper that he didn't question the premise that the memories of people in the movie can be deleted, but liked it very much.
The plot of the movie at this time has been carried out until the male protagonist apologizes to the heroine, and then finds that the other party does not know him, and he is confused After some searching, he learned that she had undergone amnestic surgery and no longer remembered him.
The hope in his eyes slowly dimmed, he wanted to reach out and pull the other party but was extremely weak, and finally he could only watch the other party leave, the male protagonist played by Zhou Bai, at this moment, all hopes were shattered, and after standing in a daze for a long time, he finally opened the car door numbly, and then went home.
Zhou Bai under the camera, all his performances are convergent, it seems that his world is collapsing, and he didn't yell and burst into tears, Zhou Bai's convergent performance unexpectedly brought his emotional appeal to an extreme, all the audience was driven by his performance, and all fell into his performance at this moment, and all their minds were attracted.
"Joe is so pitiful, you see he didn't have a tear, but everyone knows how sad he is at this time, oh, these eyes really captured me, Britta, I'll be his fan from now on. A foreign girl who watched the movie with a female friend said to her companion and wiped her tears at the same time.
