Chapter 830: Popular in Europe and the United States
Part of it is because of the love for Guo Dalu, and the other part is because of the nostalgia for Chen Shaoqiang, so when this "Beautiful Life" was broadcast in the cinema, many people in China moved to watch it, and even insiders were very curious about what works Guo Dalu and Chen Shaoqiang, the two weirdos, could make.
Now there are two recognized hard bones in the entertainment industry, one is Guo Dalu, and the other is Chen Shaoqiang. These two people can be called the wonders of the entertainment industry, they have never been soft on anyone, they are full of thorns, and they never know what compromise is.
These two are stinking and hard stinky stones, and people in today's entertainment industry don't dare to provoke them. I didn't expect these two stinky stones to work together to make a movie, and this alone is enough to make people want to see the results of the shooting.
Guo Dalu and Chen Shaoqiang are both masters in the industry, Guo Dalu's success in movies and Chen Shaoqiang's exploration on the road of comedy, each of them has stood at the highest point of their own industry, and a film work cooperated by these two people in their hearts will naturally arouse the expectations of many audiences.
When the movie started, the audience was amused to see that Chen Shaoqiang, who had been bareheaded, suddenly put on a wig and became a personable young man.
This is the influence of famous actors, when everyone is already familiar with the image of a comedian, no matter what movie he is acting in in the future, the audience's first reaction is to feel funny.
The beginning of this "Beautiful Life" is a very funny romantic story, from the encounter between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, to the two getting married and having children together, everything seems so beautiful, so beautiful that everyone thinks this is really a comedy, Chen Shaoqiang in the movie in a slightly exaggerated way, the male protagonist's humor and that silly cuteness are vividly displayed.
In the first half of the movie, bursts of laughter can be heard from time to time throughout the cinema, and there are indeed a lot of ridiculous plots in it.
But as the showtime progressed, the style of the film began to tend to the dark side, and when the Japanese army attacked the northeast, the emotions of sadness and despair and the brutality of the Japanese army were displayed in front of the camera.
When a movie starts with a dark tone, and if the ending of the movie is tragic, then people may be moved after watching it, but it generally lacks that explosive power that hits the heart.
Only the tragic ending mixed with the comedy can have a more powerful impact on the psychology of the audience.
Just like the previous "No Thieves in the World", the male protagonist died in the end, which made all the audience remember it deeply.
And this "Beautiful Life" is even better, the optimism and strength of the male protagonist are shown throughout this movie, but scenes such as beatings and torture rarely appear in front of the camera. Even though the audience knows that the hero has been inhumanly abused, it is difficult for everyone to feel sad when they see the strong and optimistic attitude of the hero on the screen.
Knowing that the hero was escorted to the execution ground by the Japanese army, the tension of the story reached its maximum.
Watching the male protagonist still make fun of his son who was secretly observing from time to time under the escort of the Japanese army, some viewers who watched the movie felt soreness in their hearts and their eyes were red.
When the gunshot outside the screen came, many viewers fell silent.
Guo Dalu succeeded in making them laugh at the beginning to deep grief at the end.
The day after the movie was broadcast, film reviews and discussions about the movie had flooded various forums and posts on the Internet.
"Damn, Guo Ye actually made another film similar to "No Thieves in the World", in vain I laughed like a second force at the beginning, but in the end I cried like a fool. ”
"Guo Dalu is a terrible guy who can move people's hearts, and his works can guide your emotions step by step, and finally achieve the results he wants. I was deceived by the face of the movie at the beginning, and I was deceived by Chen Shaoqiang's identity as a comedian, I really thought this movie was a comedy movie, but I didn't expect that I was really too simple! Guo Ye's film, when you don't watch the whole film, it is difficult to predict the development of the plot. ”
"I was deceived by this guy Guo Dalu again! What kind of comedy is this, this is obviously a tragedy, okay? The bad man shed tears in the movie, and the key is that my girlfriend is by my side, and she is still laughing at me, saying that I have no manhood! Not to mention, I want to go to bed to prove my manhood!"
"It's really touching! The deep fatherly love in the movie is really moving, compared with the cold style of ordinary tragic movies, this movie is like a small flower on the winter earth, it seems so different, but it is full of the tension of life. ”
"Why can Guo Ye make any type of movie? Is there a theme that he can't do? Why does he make every film so well?"
"It's another good film above the standard! Why is it that in the whole of China, only Guo Dalu can shoot this kind of excellent feature film that hits the heart, what do other directors do? Guo Ye, this guy makes movies, he shoots fast and well, looking at the whole world, it is estimated that no one can compare with him!"
"So far, I have heard two thrilling gunshots, the first shot, is the shot of Brother Xiao Ma who was shot in the head, suddenly, caught off guard, when I saw Brother Xiao Ma being shot in the head, my whole person was not good! Guo Ye is so cruel, Brother Xiao Ma died so suddenly, I still find it difficult to accept. The second gunshot is the gunfire of the Japanese army killing the male protagonist in this movie. Although I had expected this shot, I couldn't help but cry when it rang out. Brother Xiaoma's shot was surprise and disbelief, but the shot of "Beautiful Life" was sad and sympathetic. ”
"Rub, Guo Dalu, you have the ability to make another film like this, and you have the ability to let me hear the third soft sound that makes me tremble, if you can still shoot this kind of heart-wrenching gunshot, you and I are really convinced, but unfortunately you can't do it!"
The more the evaluation of this movie is discussed on the Internet, the more it shows how popular the movie is.
There are few people who disapprove of this movie, unlike Guo Dalu's previous sci-fi films, which were boycotted by parents because they were too violent, but this movie is also a tragedy, but all that is left to the audience is the touch from father's love.
Under word-of-mouth, the box office of this movie has also gone all the way, although it is not as good as Guo Dalu's previous works, but it is still difficult for others to reach.
This movie can only be said to be popular in China, but it is still a few points worse than the previous movies. But in Europe and the United States, it has detonated the box office, and these Europeans and Americans have the least resistance to this kind of film. Because of the appreciation angle and cultural differences, this "Beautiful Life", Chinese audiences only think that it is very well filmed, but abroad, this movie has moved European and American audiences, and they all think that this is Guo Dalu's best work this year.
For the first time, Guo Dalu's domestic box office lost to the foreign box office, which shows the love of foreign audiences for this movie.
