Text: 1158 Asia-Pacific Film Festival
At the awards ceremony of this year's Asia-Pacific Film Festival, a large number of media reporters and fans have gathered outside the auditorium since five o'clock, and some stars from all walks of life attending the closing ceremony have been present since half past six.
In general, there are still many local stars in South Korea, and it is clear when you think about it, a township enterprise award that has not been born for a few years and has not even rushed out of East Asia, counting on attracting international celebrities, it is not even a matter of thought, of course, there are also stars from Europe and the United States present, but they are all third-rate, and these stars are still invited by the organizer to come to the catwalk.
Song Zheng, as the biggest star of this year's Asia-Pacific Film Festival, naturally didn't need to arrive at the scene so early, he didn't leave the hotel until half past seven, and when he arrived at the scene, the red carpet show was nearing the end.
When Song Zheng got out of the car and stepped on the red carpet, all the cameras and cameras at the scene were all aimed at him, and the fans broke out into amazing screams.
Am I really that popular in Korea?
Although through the operation of the Korean branch of 1+1 Company in recent years, Song Zheng has also released several works in South Korea, but it has not caused much sensation.
It's not that Song Zheng's movies are not enough to conquer Korean audiences, but it's because South Korea's local protection policy is too perverted, even if Song Zheng's movies are introduced to South Korea, the number of films scheduled is pitiful, and most of them are midnight shows, so if the results can be good, it will be really against the sky.
The reason why Song Zheng is so popular is actually because the crown of the Oscar on his head plays a vital role.
Although Song Zheng still doesn't know the reason for the trouble at the moment, since he has received money from others, he still has to do what he should do, not for anything else, this is a matter of credibility.
In the past, even if Song Zheng walked the red carpet in China, he often passed by in a hurry, but today he deliberately slowed down, and when he was halfway through, he deliberately stopped, cooperated with the media at the scene to take pictures, and walked for two minutes before coming to the end.
"Welcome to Seoul, do you have anything to say about the enthusiasm of the fans on the spot?"
After listening to the translator's words, Song Zheng thought for a while and replied: "I am very surprised and moved, thank you very much for your support." ”
said beautiful things on his lips, but he was complaining in his heart: The people here are all cheap bones or what, I slapped them in the face last time, and I still welcome Lao Tzu so much.
"Which film are you most optimistic about at this year's Asia-Pacific Film Festival?"
This so-called Asia-Pacific Film Festival claims to be a film selection activity in Asia, but in fact it is just the self-entertainment of Koreans.
But if you really want to say that there are no good works, speak with your conscience, there is a movie in it, Song Zheng really likes it very much.
is the film "Uncle", also known as "Lonely Agent", which is known as the Korean version of "This Killer is Not Too Cold", in the previous life, this movie should have been released in 2010, but it was fanned by the wings of Song Zheng's butterfly, and it appeared a year in advance.
The movie itself is a decent plot, telling the story of a special but unfortunate uncle who rescues a neighbor girl from the bad guys who resell his organs.
The whole film brings together many popular Korean stars, and the acting skills of each actor are remarkable, and the leading actor Won Bin can be regarded as the biggest highlight of the whole film.
Song Zheng had seen this movie in his previous life, and this was also one of the few Korean film works he had seen, and this time I heard that "Uncle" actually appeared a year in advance, and when I was in the hotel before, I specially looked for it and watched it.
The most impressive thing about Song Zheng in the whole movie is Yuan Bin, the uncle's depressed temperament, which attracted his attention as soon as he appeared, with artistic long hair, thin figure, unsmiling temperament, and a very unique style of isolation from the world.
In terms of plot, although there are not many highlights, but it can also be called exciting, the whole story revolves around the uncle played by Yuan Bin, he was a key member of the top secret special operations unit, excellent physical condition, proficient in fighting skills, good at using guns, in addition to these brilliance, as the plot progresses, he gradually confesses his tragic experience, after completing an important secret mission, he was retaliated against, and lost his lover and unborn child.
Because the pain of losing a loved one is too bone-chilling, the uncle played by Yuan Bin always wears dark clothes, his long hair always covers his left eye, and the whole person exudes a gloomy and unapproachable aura, he doesn't have many lines, but his eyes are very dramatic, and his bright eyes can show gentle contradictions in the face of millet, and he can also show ruthless murder in the face of villains.
In addition, unlike those lonely hero movies in South Korea, in this "Uncle", the hero's fighting movements are not exaggerated, fluent and smooth, daggers or tendons and broken bones, or fierce and intrusive internal organs, every time he shoots, he hits the opponent's vital point with precision and stability, and plays a martial arts master with unique skills with flesh and blood, affection and righteousness.
The girl in the neighbor's house, Xiaomi, is the person the uncle has the most contact with, Xiaomi was brought up by a single mother, unsupervised and unaccompanied since childhood, the taciturn uncle next door has become Xiaomi's favorite person, and Xiaomi always finds reasons to approach him.
Even if the uncle turns a blind eye when Xiaomi needs help, even if Xiaomi says that he hates it, he will not hate him, because if even the uncle she hates it, in this world, she will no longer have a favorite person.
Because the uncle was a father-to-be, Xiaomi's poor life experience and kind heart inspired his father's love, in fact, he and Xiaomi are as lonely and lonely, and they all want to have someone to accompany them in their hearts. It's just that Xiaomi showed this desire, and the uncle has been suppressing it and not admitting it.
Maybe at the moment when he lost his lover's child, the uncle was like a walking corpse, living one day at a time, so he called himself a person who "only lives today", because no one cares, so he has no hope for tomorrow at all.
But because of Xiaomi, the uncle walked back to the dangerous road, and finally had a concern in his heart, Xiaomi's safety made him go straight to the tiger's den, he was fearless in the face of death, and finally he found Xiaomi, and finally faced his heart honestly, and asked for the last hug from Xiaomi, at that moment, it was really like holding his own child, he cried excitedly, and the expression on his face was also a rare happiness.
Another actor who makes Song Zheng feel that he plays a very good role is the No. 1 villain in the movie, who is a greedy and pleasure-loving hedonist, as dangerous as a snake, and likes to abuse others.
Every time he appears, it makes people feel nervous, and it really takes skill and spirituality for an actor to interpret the role so well.
Real actors give life to the characters, in addition to the above actors who left a special impression on Song Zheng, there is another character that has to be said, that is, the killer.
The role of the killer has a lot of similarities with the uncle, they both belong to the dark side, and the kind-hearted Xiaomi should not be in the same world, but they were unconsciously touched and attracted, and in the end, because of the killer's compassion, Xiaomi was saved from death.
The killer and the uncle are both masters, when watching the movie, Song Zheng always feels that the killer sympathizes with the uncle, and the duel of the master should be relatively fair and respectful, in the final decisive battle, the killer did not shoot the uncle with a gun, but threw the gun aside, lost the original advantage, and chose the fighting competition of real kung fu, even if he lost, he was convinced, and even if he died, he had no regrets or regrets.
Of course, there is another character that cannot be left unmentioned, that is, the little girl in the play, Xiaomi, the circle in which she lives can be said to be very dark.
She was a trash can in her mother's eyes, and she said that her mother always said to die with her, and she curled up outside the door when her mother's friends came. She pestered the uncle next door, because she felt that at least, the uncle was lonely, or secretly sad, just like her.
Although she understands the work her mother does, she loves her mother. When I was abducted and sold, I kept saying that if I was obedient, would I be able to see my mother?
Little did she know that her mother had ascended to heaven.
With a kind Band-Aid, she touched the killer and saved her own eyes.
In "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Mathilde awakens the warmth and kindness in the heart of the killer Leon, and in the Korean version of "Uncle", the existence of the character of Xiaomi also plays a similar role.
Maybe after watching the beginning of the movie, you will feel very strange, in such a movie, what is such a little girl to the uncle next door?
What is the purpose of her existence?
At the end, you can understand that the little girl awakened the warmth and emotion in the uncle's heart, which can be regarded as a trace of fresh vitality in his cold and desperate life. She is like his friend, like his child, and she is a responsibility that cannot be abandoned.
When the little girl stole the woman's bag, the uncle pretended not to know her. Her young heart was hurt, and she felt that the people she liked most didn't like her, and they all thought she was embarrassed, and they all pretended not to know herself. It turns out that he is the least liked person in the world.
When he saw this scene, Song Zheng felt very distressed.
It can be said that the most touching thing in the whole movie is the natural and smooth acting skills and tacit understanding and natural cooperation of the uncle and the little girl, in Song Zheng's view, there is never a unified absolute standard for good or bad acting, as long as it can make the audience feel something, then the actor's performance should be affirmed.
Yuan Bin's sassy and heroic posture of reversing all beings in this movie action scene is naturally inseparable from the special effects of editing, but he often flashes in the film with a forbearance and brave eyes like Shura, which is the essence of life precipitation and experience, this kind of look cannot be imitated and cannot be copied!
And Xiaomi, who coexists with innocence and cunning, also left a deep impression on Song Zheng, and there was no delicate and pretentious blunt performance at a young age!
In the movie, the girl Millet has a drug-addicted, depressed and decadent mother, under the indifferent appearance of the uncle next door, is a life that decays quickly after the loss of precious relatives, two lonely wandering and longing for care souls give each other warm comfort, although it is ordinary in life can no longer be ordinary daily simple communication, but it can make people believe that they must find a kind of similar relatives from each other to rely on!
So when the uncle was reluctant to admit that he knew Xiaomi, who was scolded for stealing, Xiaomi felt a kind of abandoned heartache, and it was this innocent confession to the uncle because of the pain of the soul, which evoked the human love that had been hidden in the uncle's heart for a long time!
"If you hate even your uncle, you won't have anyone you like"
For the uncle, there is also a faint hope for the salvation of the soul!
In the climax part of the movie, why did the uncle not hesitate, go to the soup and fire, and save Xiaomi regardless of life and death, it seems that he owes Xiaomi an apology because of his own evasion when Xiaomi was criticized.
It seems to find some kind of sustenance in Xiaomi, the sustenance of the innocent flesh and blood who died innocently due to his own negligence, the sustenance of the meaning of continuing to have a reason to live, and the sustenance of the only warm care in this world.
Or for the tragic fate of this little girl next door, out of the compassionate nature of a sense of justice, no matter what it is, the complex emotions of human nature are reduced to a simple and straightforward firm waiting for a certain belief after the whole is brewing!
Follow the instructions of your heart and do the right thing that you no longer regret and are worthy of!
In the peak duel, every time the uncle makes a decisive shot, every poignant look is unforgettable and exciting!
Uncle's revenge did not carry too much national morality, sonorous circumstances, and responsibilities of the times, but had more power to move people's hearts!
When the meaning of life is gone, whether it is the previous crazy killing, or the calm begging for death when the last enemy's life is ended, Yuan Bin's performance is completely shocked and deeply amazing!
In the end, the film did not give a clear ending, so the ending can be imagined to the fullest, and it is completely expanded, but it is obvious that the foreshadowing was obvious, and I thought that after the uncle was released, he should live with Xiaomi.
Song Zheng has always been indifferent to Korean films, and always feels that the movies born in this narrow-minded country always carry this characteristic, but he obviously has a soft spot for the movie "Uncle".
When the master of ceremonies at the scene asked him which movie he was optimistic about, Song Zheng didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Uncle, this is a good movie." ”
Compared with "Monster of the Han River", which is crazy about Hollywood special effects, the inexplicable "The King's Man", and many love idol dramas, hot-blooded campus dramas, and logical and chaotic detection themes, "Uncle" can be called a rare clear stream in the Korean film industry.
"Uncle" was released in South Korea at the beginning of this year, although it is also very popular, but it is obviously not the most popular one, Song Zheng admires "Uncle" so much, but it makes the master of ceremonies feel a little surprised.
was about to ask again, but Song Zheng didn't give her this chance, and waved her hand at the fans, causing a scream again, and Song Zheng went directly into the auditorium.
Walking in, I found that this venue is very large, surrounded by audience areas, and the center of the venue is arranged like a banquet hall, several stars sit around a table, and the stage is also very gorgeous.
Song Zheng, as the biggest wrist in today's awards ceremony, his position is naturally at the front, and he followed the staff to find a place, there are already a few people sitting around the table, and one of them, Song Zheng can read the name.
Jun Ji-hyun!
Her famous work "My Sassy Girlfriend", Song Zheng has also seen it in her previous life, there is nothing to say about the whole story, don't watch this movie and get a very high evaluation, but in the eyes of Song Zheng, a professional, the quality of the movie itself is obviously not worthy of the praise it has received.
If you want to talk about the highlight of this movie, it is Jun Ji-hyun, she plays the reckless, unreasonable and willful, but delicate, sensitive, and extraordinarily serious savage girlfriend who is very serious about her feelings.
However, if you want to say Song Zheng's favorite Jun Ji-hyun's movie, it should be "Daisy", but unfortunately after the movie was released, it didn't have much impact.
Seeing that Song Zheng had arrived, Jun Jixian and others got up to say hello, and Song Zheng also responded with a smile.
After a polite gesture, everyone sat down, Song Zheng and the people here didn't know each other, plus the language barrier, there was nothing to talk about, just thinking that this award ceremony would start soon, and he would flash immediately after he finished his work.
"Mr. Song Zheng!"
Song Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Quan Zhixian, and to his surprise, this simple title just now, Quan Zhixian actually used Chinese.
"I love your "Happiness Line Behind the Clouds". ”
Probably worried that his lame Chinese Song Zheng could not understand, after saying it in Chinese, Jun Ji-hyun said it again in English.
A beautiful woman took the initiative to talk, and Song Zheng naturally couldn't be too cold: "Thank you! I also like the "Daisy" you starred in. ”
Hearing Song Zheng mention Daisy, Jun Ji-hyun was still a little surprised, after debuting for so many years and acting in so many movies and TV series, it seems that what impresses people will always be "My Sassy Girlfriend", but her feeling about this work has always been very average, and her favorite is "Daisy", which has little influence.
"Mr. Song Zheng has also seen this movie!"
I've seen it, but it's a matter of the previous life!
Seeing Song Zheng nodding, Jun Jixian also smiled happily, the topic was opened, and then the two of them chatted, Song Zheng originally thought that this place was very boring, but now there is a beautiful woman who is willing to accompany him to chat, so he naturally can't ask for it.
The two chatted until the award ceremony began, and Jun Ji-hyun stopped unsatisfied: "I really hope to have the opportunity to work with you!"
Jun Ji-hyun is a Korean actress that Song Zheng admires more, and said with a smile: "Okay! If you have the chance, you will definitely cooperate once!"
Song Zheng was polite, but Jun Ji-hyun climbed the pole.
"In that case, can you exchange contact information?"
When Song Zheng heard this, he suddenly had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger, but since everyone had spoken, he couldn't refuse, so he took out his mobile phone and exchanged contact information with Jun Jixian.
As soon as Jun Ji-hyun's number was deposited, the award ceremony began.
