Verse 484: Cooking without salt

"We watch the play, and we are tired of seeing hypocritical expressions......"

With the opening of the movie, after the LOGO animation of Ruixing Film and Television at the beginning, what appeared in front of the audience was a strange and familiar old face. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because they have seen this face on the promotional poster, so the audience at the scene immediately recognized this as Duane, Duane decades later.

"I'm tired of watching fancy special effects, "Truman's World" is different ......"

On the screen, Duane said his lines, and many viewers in the audience, including Ye Lin, looked at the screen, raising their eyebrows, frowning and thinking, or thinking - the texture of the picture was wrong.

The current picture is not 35mm film, it looks like it was shot on 16mm film, of course, with the rapid development of digital technology, it is now possible to use digital means to achieve similar effects, and this is not the point, the point is the meaning expressed by this image quality.

Compared with the current mainstream 35mm film, the shooting effect of 16mm film is much worse, and the clarity is not as good as 35mm film, but it also has its special advantages, that is, due to the problem of clarity and grain, the 16mm lens is more realistic, and it is generally used in the lens performance of documentaries built into the film. At the same time, movies that use pictures like this are generally biased towards serious and realistic themes, which is a bit incompatible with Zhou Xingchi's style......

But it's hard to say, maybe it's more comedic to use it in reverse?

"This show has no script, no cue cards, it may not be a masterpiece, but it must be a fake......"

"A play within a play?"

Ye Lin muttered to herself softly.

Whether it is the quality of the camera or Duane's lines, such a message is clearly expressed.

Of course, no one will answer her question, so she can only continue to read it herself.

After Duane's one-shot ended, it was converted to the film's leading actor, Zhou Xingchi.

This seems to be a perspective from the inside of the refrigerator, and Zhou Xingchi is the person standing in front of the refrigerator, who is opening the refrigerator door and looking inside, forming a single mirror. As before, the quality of the shot here is not right, and the graininess is more intense than before, and there is even a flash of live broadcast in the lower right corner.

But what attracted the audience's attention the most was Zhou Xingchi's face.

Although Zhou Xingchi's expression was serious, many viewers couldn't help but want to laugh when they saw this face - no way, after so many years of edification and so many films, many people have formed an instinctive reaction.

But the next moment, everyone slowly restrained their smiles and couldn't laugh anymore.

"I can't take it anymore......"

Zhou Xingchi said this in front of the camera, his expression was not sad, just dazed, but after watching it, people couldn't help but feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts - it was not the discomfort of being stung, but a kind of loneliness of standing alone at the top of the world, turning his head and looking around, and finding that he was the only one left in the world.

Desolation spreads from the bottom of my heart, wrapped in loneliness, and the emptiness is maddening.

"It's not right......"

Pan Xiaoyu involuntarily murmured.

With Zhou Xingchi joining, he thought that this cliff was a comedy, but Zhou Xingchi's current performance is too positive, completely different from what he imagined......

Although Zhou Xingchi's performance in the film in recent years is not as crazy and restrained as in the prolific period, it is still a serious and funny style on the whole, which also makes his performance more comedic in the eyes of many people, but the current performance is completely different - this is too positive.

Could it be that this is not a comedy?

There were many viewers at the scene who had such a question in their minds.

The movie will not answer them immediately, but will continue.

After Zhou Xingchi's short shot, the cast list of opening credits began to appear, and I saw a black white text in the center of the curtain clearly showing "Truman plays Truman", and then "Director Lu Wa", but there is no real cast and crew name.

"It's kind of interesting......"

Someone in the audience whispered to himself.

With the heroine's subtitle "Xiao Xiao plays Lin Lin", a woman who appeared in the picture was Song Zhen, a newcomer who had been dug up by the media in the publicity.

"There is no distinction between public and private in my life, and 'live performance' is the whole ...... of my life"

Song Zhen talked and laughed on the screen, a little proud, with some deliberately suppressed reserve, very much like a young woman.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone had already learned the details in the previous publicity, just watching this performance, I'm afraid no one would have seen that this was a girl in her early twenties.

"The content is true, the original, and there is no falsehood in what you see......"

This is followed by a monologue by another actor.

After the actor's monologue is over, cut to the title of the film, and the film officially begins.

"Good morning!"

The first shot is Zhou Xingchi coming out of the room, greeting the camera with a smile on his face, but he is special in the use of the lens - whether it is the bokeh of the surroundings or the slightly strange picture quality, it makes this picture look like it was taken candidly.

"Good morning!"

The family who was greeted by Zhou Xingchi also greeted him, and after the camera picture turned here, it turned back to the normal 35mm film normal image quality, the picture was also full and bright, the light was normal, and there was no blur around it.

"That's right,"

Zhou Xingchi was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and pulled his body back, facing the camera and continued to smile brightly and said, "I wish you a good morning, noon and evening in advance!" After speaking, he smiled even brighter, and leaned back, as if he felt that his witty words were very funny.

But no one in the audience thought it was funny, and a few people reluctantly pulled the corners of their mouths, but they couldn't laugh.

This joke is too fake to infect the audience, and this so-called witty remark is not funny, and the consequence of forcibly trying to be funny is that it makes people feel a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xingchi's comedic talent has degenerated, disappeared, and degenerated to the point of embarrassing laughter?......

Many questions kept flashing through the minds of the audience and went unanswered.

Ye Lin's eyes flickered when she looked at the screen, it was very strange, and it was not until she saw Zhou Xingchi on the screen that she was relieved to remove all her smiles after getting rid of the entanglement of a puppy, and her eyes finally settled.

She didn't know if Zhou Xingchi's comedy talent had disappeared, she only knew that Zhou Xingchi's acting skills who had taken off his comedy coat made her feel amazing, and just through such a short performance, she vividly showed the emptiness and loneliness under the cover of clumsy laughter.

Combined with the solo shot at the beginning, she also knew another thing.

"Like...... Not a comedy?"

Ye Lin asked uncertainly, and Pan Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to her, waited for two or three seconds before replying: "It's very likely to ......."

They have guessed orthodox comedy, they have guessed nonsensical comedy, they have guessed hunting comedy, they have guessed cult comedy, but they never guessed that this would be a non-comedy!

A non-comedy starring Zhou Xingchi?

It sounds as incredible as cooking without salt.
