Chapter 1065: Metaphor
In many people's impressions, the screening is to choose to pre-screen the film that has not yet been officially released in individual theaters, mainly to promote the momentum, and the regular operation is to select 2 to 3 theaters a weekend in advance for about 10 small-scale screenings. However, the screening of "Country Teacher" opened at 7 p.m. on December 20, and the number of films scheduled was as high as 21,000, and the proportion of films scheduled was as high as 9.8%.
In the eyes of some Jiang Wen fans, Ning Hao and "Country Teacher" wanted to destroy "One Step Away", and condemned one after another: "I also like Liu Cixin and Ning Hao, but isn't the distribution method of this film a bit inappropriate?
""The Country Teacher" is really too much, I think this kind of large-scale screening will make future movies follow suit, and then blow the first-day box office for marketing and disrupt the normal order. ”
Jiang Wen has a lot of fans, and Ning Hao has a lot of fans, so they immediately pushed back: "Are you reasonable if you are weak? We didn't break the law, and we didn't fake it, so why do we say that "Country Teacher" is too much?"
"I support large-scale screenings, bad movies die early and surpass early, saving the audience from harm, you let "Little Times" try such a large-scale screening? It will be cold before the first day. It is extremely risky for "Country Teacher" to be screened like this, and it can't be supported without a super reputation. ”
"The quality of the movie is good, the audience is willing to watch it, and the theater is even more willing, why not arrange it? "Country Teacher" is not bad if it is not directly raised!"
At 7 p.m. on December 20th, "Rural Teacher" officially opened a large-scale screening across the country. Thousands of sci-fi and movie fans walked into the cinema for the first time, and when they did, the movie didn't disappoint them.
"Rural Teacher" is adapted from Liu Cixin's name of the same name and is one of Liu Cixin's masterpieces. This film has been affirmed by the mainstream literary circles and has been published in "Selected Magazines". However, it is very difficult to adapt, the story is scattered, especially the lack of conflict and suspense in the rural scenes. Ning Hao has been getting it for nearly ten years and has been polishing the script.
The movie opens with a gorgeous interstellar war, and the special effects of the ten-minute battle are extremely gorgeous, leaving the audience stunned. After the battle, the victorious Carbon-Based Federation, in order to prevent the resurgence of the enemy's silicon-based empire, decided to imprison their opponents by creating a stellar void that spanned hundreds of light-years. All the planets in the entire quarantine zone will be destroyed, and the only way to escape this catastrophe is to find out through the screening of the starfleet that the planet is indeed a civilization above level 3C.
At the same time, Li Baoku, a teacher living in a remote mountain village, has not had much time, and the tribulations of society and the resistance of life have destroyed his body, but he still remembers the four naughty students in the village. Before dying, Li Baoku decided to give the students a final lesson, and the content of this lesson was to ask four students to memorize Newton's three laws, and he believed that as long as he had knowledge, he could get rid of ignorance.
Starfleet sailed out of Earth, and four children were copied into a spaceship for screening. The captain asked several questions in a row, and the four children could not answer them, so the earth was identified as a civilization below 3C.
The spacecraft has activated the singularity bomb point, and the Earth is about to be destroyed. However, it takes time for the singularity to destroy the earth, and the captain has another question: "When an object is not subjected to an external force, how does it behave?" This is Newton's first law, so the four children answered at the same time: "When an object is not affected by an external force, it will remain at rest or in a uniform linear motion." Then the captain asked two more questions, and the four children answered them again, which was Newton's three laws that the teacher had just taught them.
Li Baoku originally just wanted to change the fate of his four children through knowledge, but in the end, he saved the entire earth. After the crisis, the four children buried their teachers alone and walked towards a hopeful future with the expectations of their teachers.
When the movie ended, and the subtitles said "Salute to China's 3 million rural teachers", the audience collectively applauded and paid tribute to all the rural teachers, who are the backbone of China's education.
After the premiere, the audience was full of praise for the whole movie and for Huang Bo, who played Li Baoku. On Douban, netizens gave the movie a high score of 9.1, and on Guevara and Maoyan, netizens also scored a high score of 9.5.
I have seen a lot of movies about teachers, but there has never been a movie that has brought the meaning of teachers into such a way, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for any work in the future to surpass the praise and praise of teachers in this movie. ”
This is the most touching sci-fi I've seen since "The Heartbreaker". The director turned a teacher who was dying at the bottom into a savior of the earth's civilization. Let people truly experience what is the inheritance of civilization!"
"I decided to become a teacher because I read this in junior high school, and after so many years, it was finally made into a movie. I am so happy to be able to see this movie in the cinema for the first time, and it is my greatest pride to be able to be a teacher!"
The detailed box office data came out early the next morning, the box office of "One Step Away" was 73.89 million, and the box office of "Country Teacher" reached 43.75 million;
On the morning of December 22, the box office data of the week was released, "One Step Away" was released for 4 days and won the first week box office championship with a box office of 335 million, "The Year in a Hurry" ranked second with 98 million, with a cumulative box office of 550 million, and "Country Teacher" was screened for two days and achieved an amazing box office of 89.73 million, ranking third.
For "One Step Away", now the good reputation accumulated by "Let the Bullets Fly" has been exhausted, and "Country Teacher" will be officially released on the 23rd, and this week will be the life-and-death test of "One Step Away".
In order to redeem the defeat, "One Step Away" desperately played the metaphor card, claiming that it was not that the movie was bad, but that the audience did not understand it. Fans and trolls even posted articles interpreting the metaphor of "One Step Away" everywhere: "Is "One Step Away" a bad movie or a great work of art? First of all, we must clarify two axioms: first, if you just see this simple storyline on the surface, you don't need to use huge amounts of money, high-prestige directors and the most appealing actors to make this movie; second, Jiang Wen has always used film metaphors to expose satirical politics, whether it is "The Sun Also Rises" or "Let the Bullets Fly" , he is good at cleverly hiding people's opinions on politics in his film works, and successfully passed the review of radio and television without killing his head for anti-D crimes.
The following political metaphors are interpreted as follows: 1. Wanyan is the surname of the Jurchen, and the Jurchen is the ancestor of the Manchus, symbolizing the Qing Dynasty. Wan Yanying smoked a lot of cigarettes and died, a metaphor for the fall of the Qing Dynasty due to the Opium War. 2. Wu Liu symbolizes our party, and Wu Qi symbolizes the Kuomintang ......"
In fact, for the vast majority of audiences, the most important thing is that the movie is good, and metaphors and the like are incidental; if the movie is not good, calculating more metaphors is putting the cart before the horse. And "One Step Away" has always claimed to be the second in "Let the Bullets Fly" during the promotion process, and the audience's appetite was extremely high, but in the end, it was such a movie, and the audience had a feeling of being deceived and deceived, so naturally they would not recognize the so-called metaphor.
In the movie box office bar, a netizen wrote a post to mock the so-called metaphor: "American psychologist Erich Fromm talked about in his famous work "The Art of Love" that there are four basic elements of love in any form: care, responsibility, respect and understanding. If a love lacks any of its elements, then love is incomplete. There are four girls in "Little Times", each of them has love, but each girl's love is incomplete, and each girl's love lacks an element. Lin Xiao is timid and afraid of admitting responsibility, Gu Li lacks respect with his poisonous tongue, Nanxiang attaches importance to friendship but repeats himself and never understands others; Tang Wan is like a god-level big man who doesn't know how to care about people. It is the lack of love that causes the conflict between the four girls and also leads to the final tragedy. "Little Times" is about incomplete love, or the tragedy caused by the lack of love.
"Little Times" is an allegory about love, and at the same time a masterpiece of satirical reality. For example, four girls take off their shoes and run on the bridge. Why do they have to take off their shoes to run? Because they wear high heels, and they are very expensive heels. This expensive heel symbolizes material temptation. When a person lives for the material, he will be bound by the material, and he will not be free spiritually, and he will not be able to run freely. When the four girls take off their high heels, they show that they want to rebel against the constraints of reality and win spiritual freedom. When the four girls finally take off their high heels and run on the bridge, the faint music sounds, which makes people moved, which is similar to the "freedom" at the end of the movie "Braveheart".
In fact, there are many similar metaphors in "Little Times", and many viewers criticize "Little Times" for showing off wealth and worshipping money, but in fact, they don't understand the director's good intentions and don't understand these metaphors. "Little Times" is a tragedy in which many people die in the end. Isn't it saying that showing off wealth and worshipping money will not end well?
"Little Times" is a movie that needs to be read carefully, with rich connotations and rich punches Godard, and metaphors are deep enough to step on Fellini, which is a real masterpiece. Although director Guo Jingmin is only 1.4 meters tall, his spirit is 2.4 meters, and he is a giant who stands up to the sky. ”
After this post was sent, netizens were crazy: "Wocao, it turns out that the metaphor of "Little Times" is so deep, it is such a masterpiece!"
"In fact, Chen Kaige's "Wuji" is also a metaphorical masterpiece, the five highly metaphorical symbolic characters in the movie construct a complete life individual, Wang is a metaphor for men's yearning for power, light is a metaphor for men struggling between desire and reality, Kunlun is a metaphor for tribulations to create heroes......"
"Zhang Yimou said, in fact, my "Three Guns" also has a lot of metaphors, Feng Xiaogang said, Lao Tzu's "Private Order" is also full of metaphors, why do you say that Lao Tzu's movie is a bad movie?"
As long as the audience says bad movies, the directors of bad movies can defend themselves, my movie is full of metaphors, it's not that the movie is bad, it's that you don't understand it!"
What's even more amazing is that someone took a video with a mobile phone, that is, a five-minute shot of a copy of "Thus Said Zarathustra". The author of the video claimed: ""One Step Away" is a yarn, my thoughts in this short film punch Bergman and kick Fellini, it is a real masterpiece." If you don't hit five stars, it's because your thinking is too shallow!"
In the midst of ridicule, the score and box office of "One Step Away" continued to decline. At this time, Chen Lizhi, the president of Mitte, who was in charge of the promotion of the movie, couldn't sit still, and he said on Weibo: ""One Step Away" has been maliciously swiped with one star since its release. You can like it or not, but you can't trample on the entire industry and maliciously give "One Step Away" a star. It's really shameless!"
According to Chen Lizhi, the poor reputation of "One Step Away" is maliciously brushed by others, so who will maliciously brush points for "One Step Away"? It can only be "Country Teacher" against "One Step Away"!
