Chapter 724 Super God (Anti-theft, Four-Point Update of the Text)
This film review called "Do You Understand This Movie?" was published by a well-known Chinese film critic "An Actor's Self-cultivation" on "Whispers" and "Petals". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info film review in-depth analysis of the movie "My Sassy Girlfriend", many small details Cheng Xiaoyu may not be able to say clearly, he just copied the picture of the original film, and these are all pointed out by "an actor's self-cultivation".
"I walked into the cinema the next day, in fact, I didn't have much expectation for this movie, and I didn't plan to go into the cinema so early to watch it, but the media praised and the public collectively star, which made me curious, I wondered, is this movie too high and low for the general public to accept, or whether this movie just poked the g/point of the media and film critics and made them collectively excited.
In fact, I was skeptical before I walked into the cinema, initially thinking that this was the media continuing to create gods and be recognized by the sane public. But after watching this movie, I think I also took it for granted, this movie is unexpectedly great.
As a rookie director, Cheng Xiaoyu has indeed achieved perfection and impeccable, more than three stars stronger than the various abortions, misunderstandings, and bloody youth dramas represented by "The Year of Graduation" in the same period, and at least one and a half stars stronger than the recent "Legend of Shushan", which has been a big hit with stars.
It's not an exaggeration to give me four stars for "My Sassy Girlfriend", it's almost a little bit like five stars, and it's not because I don't have a girlfriend like Song Mingxi. It's because this movie still lacks a little bit of thought-provoking core, forgive me for finding fault and finding profundity in a youth love movie, but I'm such a person who loves to pick bones in eggs.
But when I think about it today, I think that this movie is not so simple, there are a few flashes of scenes that are quite meaningful, but I didn't understand it, so I went to the cinema to watch it again, and after that, I couldn't help but watch it again, I pondered in the cinema for a while, and felt that the four-star evaluation was a bit low, so I decided to give this movie a five-star rating.
Because I found that it wasn't that the movie wasn't profound, but that I didn't understand it at all. (There are plenty of spoilers below, so please read carefully)
In fact, there are a lot of interesting plots hidden in this movie, which must be discovered by moviegoers digging deeply.
The first and most obvious hidden plot is the mystery of the quintuplets.
After Morning Glory and Song Mingxi opened the room for the first time, after entering the room, they noticed the news and photos about the quintuplets on the wall?
That's the director's tip.
And quintuplets really appear five times in the movie! If you are interested, you can look for it carefully.
The second is the mystery of the flying saucer.
At the end of the film, Song Mingxi chatted with the old man, reopened the time egg, and when he finished reading the letter, he noticed that there was a UFO (to be precise, it should be a time machine) that slowly flew from the lower right corner to the upper left corner and disappeared, I made a record (the time is about 115-116).
In addition, more than once in the play, hints are made about the time machine, the present and the future, the people who meet the future, and so on through the lines.
So you think this is a youth romantic comedy, then you are wrong, it is still a very hidden science fiction film, but Director Cheng's brain is strange, others wish for a few types in their heads, but he hides these secrets in the deepest part of the movie.
If you don't watch it seriously, he won't say it, from here, you can find that Director Cheng is really an extremely literate and sullen person.
Hehe, it seems to be a bit similar to me.
The third is the Frog Mystery
Two years later, Morning Glory opened the time egg that the two men had buried two years ago. But there was a frog inside, why was there a frog inside? I haven't figured this out yet, maybe it's a joke made by Song Mingxi who came in advance to Morning Glory, or maybe it's a joke made by the old Morning Glory who came back from making a time machine to the young Petunia.
Of course, there is also a joke made by director Cheng Xiaoyu.
The fourth point is the most beautiful point hidden, which is really breathtaking! This is the mystery of the strange old man.
Three years later, Song Mingxi, who came from the UK, came to the agreed tree and met a strange old man, everyone paid attention, this strange old man was actually a morning glory that returned to the past on a UFO-shaped object, that is, a morning glory in the future. What is implied in this is actually in another time and space, and Morning Glory did not wait for Song Mingxi, that is, the next development is a story of parallel time and space.
As for the reason why there is a UFO. This point is not explained clearly in the film, because if it is really to be explained, this movie will be missing two points.
Let's go back again, when the hero and heroine first met, on the subway, shortly after the heroine told the gangster to give up his seat, there was a switch in the camera (the time was 00:06), and then there was the plot of the heroine vomiting. The shot shows several people sitting next to where the actor is standing, and an old man in the center is looking up at the hero.
Note that the passengers in the cabin before and after the switch are completely different, which may also indicate the overlap of two different spaces.
(This is another scene carefully arranged by the director!, it is really a hanging bomb, I only saw it for the fourth time in the cinema alone, and my scalp was numb after watching it!)
As for where to see this old man is an old petunia?
The old man said that the tree had a secret. The old man said that he had read the letter of the two, and if it was explained that passers-by dug it out and read it, it would not be in line with Director Cheng's urine.
The old man told him that the tree had been struck by lightning, and that he had replanted the tree and asked the old man if it was the same as before. The old man also said that if he didn't say it, no one would know the secret.
From all indications, the old man is the future hero, who came to the modern era in a time machine and played the role of a promoter for his love, one of the great things about this film is that you don't know that there is a sci-fi plot, and you can watch it very smoothly.
In addition, at the end of the story, Morning Glory said, "Fate is to pull a bridge between you and your loved ones"
The old man said the same.
I trembled when I saw this, and I just wanted to hand over my knees, the twenty-year-old director Cheng Xiaoyu was so powerful that he had already thrown off most directors at this time.
However, more than that, I also discovered the mystery of the gun, the mystery of Song Myung-hee's boyfriend, the mystery of the same seat, and other amazing details.
In fact, this movie is not a movie that makes people laugh and be moved. It is a movie that is worth watching again and again and finding pleasure in it.
At present, I have only found these interesting places, and I hope that the majority of fans and everyone will work together to discover all the "little tricks" of Director Cheng.
This movie is not only highly recommended for everyone to go to the theater to watch, but also recommended for everyone to buy a DVD collection, of course, Director Cheng has always had no discipline in making money, whether he will launch a 328 yuan collector's edition, I don't know, anyway, I'm ready to bleed.
In addition, I am very curious about how many awards "My Sassy Girlfriend" can win this year, if Cheng Xiaoyu wins the best director, there is no doubt that he will become the youngest best director in the history of Chinese film.
Let's wait and see. ”
"An actor's self-cultivation" has always been known for his sharp teeth in the film critics' circles, and his real identity is a young professor at Nortel, who is not only well-known in "Whispers" and "Petals", but also has a very high status in the circle, only 30 years old, but he is one of the judges of the "Huabiao Award".
When his film review was released, it immediately set off a storm among ordinary movie fans, not fans of the "Idol Project", because "Petal" was inconsistent with the evaluation of the media and film critics, this movie made many people suspicious, and did not have the desire to see it.
But now such a controversy has caused a huge topic, and countless people who have seen the movie have become ****** and become volunteer promoters of "My Sassy Girlfriend", resulting in an explosive increase in the number of moviegoers.
After all, there have always been relatively few comedy and romance movies in China, and this movie with such dense laughter and suitable for all ages is easy to gain everyone's love.
A week later, fans who watched the movie obviously thought that "this is a movie worth watching", and at this time, the rating of "My Sassy Girlfriend" on the "Petal" website has now been brushed back to 8 points and four stars, and it is still slowly rising, while in "Petal", the schedule is over, and most of the movies that can get more than eight points in the end can win awards.
As for "The Year of Graduation" at this time, because it deliberately brushed "My Sassy Girlfriend" for one star, it was brushed back by angry netizens, and it fell miserably to two stars.
After the first week, "My Sassy Girlfriend" almost miraculously won a box office of 240 million in the eyes of the industry, although it is not enough for the box office of "The Legend of Shushan" on Valentine's Day, but compared with the two sides, others invest in big productions, and the rate of return is not necessarily higher than that of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and as a rookie director, such a performance and enough miracles are enough.
Surprisingly, however, this was not the most glorious moment, and even greater miracles were yet to come.
"My Sassy Girlfriend" exploded in the second week of "word-of-mouth effect", and after the end of the second week, and it was also the end of the prime time, "The Legend of Shushan" was cut off the horse and climbed to the top of the weekly box office list.
In 4,576 theaters in China, it received a box office of 760 million and completed the counterattack.
This made the Chinese film industry, which has been pursuing Hollywood-style big productions, collectively aphina, a movie with an investment of less than one-twentieth of "The Legend of Shushan", crushing all the big productions. became another "Diary of a Broken Love".
But the madness is not over, the box office of "My Sassy Girlfriend" in the third week is 850 million, and it still stands firmly in the first position, and the new Hollywood production "Future Police 2" this week is only 210 million, which has become a stepping stone for "My Sassy Girlfriend".
Even the official media "China Times" published an article praising Cheng Xiaoyu as the pride of Chinese filmmakers, and vaguely refuted the strange phenomenon of the Chinese film industry, only inviting stars, only making big productions, and not pursuing the polishing of the plot and the acting skills of the actors.
The semi-monthly issue of the professional film magazine "Movie World" also published an article: "If "The Legend of Shushan" lost unexpectedly, then the $120 million cost of "Future Police 2" has become the latest victim, which is really jaw-dropping and unbelievable." ”
You must know that the production cost of this movie is only 27 million, the shooting cost is 18 million, the publicity cost is only less than 9 million, plus other expenses such as copy transportation and so on, the total cost is exactly 30 million.
If you don't take into account the peripheral income such as DVDs, if you only count the theatrical screenings, it will have to receive at least twice the box office, that is, 60 million to recover the cost. For this point, on Valentine's Day, Director Cheng may have drunk celebration wine at home.
At the end of the third week, the total box office of "My Sassy Girlfriend" has received 1.85 billion, surpassing the "Diary of a Broken Love" that created a box office miracle last year, surpassing this year's big cast "Legend of Shushan", becoming the box office champion in the prime time of February, becoming the biggest dark horse in the current Chinese film history, and as long as it harvests 1.5 billion this week, it can enter the 2 billion club.
So far, there are only four movies in the entire China in the 2 billion club, and the four are all Hollywood blockbusters, the first is "The End of the World" 2.7 billion, the second is "Hurricane 6" 2.2 billion, the third is "Extinct Rebirth 4" 2.2 billion, and the fourth is "Avengers 1" 2.1 billion.
But this week, the light of "My Sassy Girlfriend" covered the entire film industry, not only "My Sassy Girlfriend" was a box office hit, Cheng Xiaoyu's popularity soared, the two leading actors, especially Xu Qinning's popularity is also soaring, and the attention of "Whispering" has surpassed the long-standing popularity of Su Yuxi.
And set off a trend of "savage girlfriends" throughout China, and can even often be seen on the street, with girlfriends asking their boyfriends to wear high heels.
As for "The Year of Graduation", in the second week, the film schedule of Huaying and Shanghai Hailian and the theater line dropped to only a few shows a day, and all of them were in the morning, and the box office can naturally be imagined, and it is still unknown whether it can reach a fraction of "My Sassy Girlfriend".
And Cheng Xiaoyu is not proud of the brilliant achievements, he understands that he is just stepping on the shoulders of giants, and at this moment, he has devoted himself to the production of cartoons.
In addition, there was also good news in the United States in February, Xia Shamo received the Grammys "Song of the Year" ("Listen"), "Best Pop Album" and "Best Duet or Orchestra" awards on behalf of the "Guilty Crown", although she missed the most important "Record of the Year" and "Album of the Year" awards, but also won three important awards.
Xia Shamo also took the stage to sing "listen", Xia Shamo, who was wearing a golden silk evening dress, shocked the audience with her invincible singing skills this night, but it is a pity that the "Grammy" domestic TV station never broadcasts, only the Internet has watched it, but this year's Grammy, because of Xia Shamo, the ratings on the Internet are extremely high.
In particular, the clip of Xia Shamo singing "Listen" has topped the weekly click charts on major music websites.
However, the domestic media is still holding grievances about the "Guilty Crown", thinking that if the "Guilty Crown" were an American band, it should at least win one of the "Best Record of the Year" or "Best Album of the Year" awards.
Cheng Xiaoyu did not accompany Xia Shamo, originally Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to accompany Xia Shamo, but Ms. Xia Lan felt that Xia Shamo had never gone abroad, especially in such a distant place as the United States, she was quite uneasy, and she must accompany her, so Cheng Xiaoyu gave up going to Los Angeles with Xia Shamo.
And this free time, naturally, the members of the "Idol Project" went to Vila, a seven-star island in the Maldives, to shoot the latest MV.
