Chapter 234: Evaluation

"Battle Royale" is a scary movie, and its scary thing is that when you put yourself in their shoes, you will find that you are also faced with the choice of killing or being killed.

For example, in the test screening room, there are about 700 seats in the entire large theater, and when the movie is screened, I am afraid that more than 600 of these 700 people have thought about a question, if they suddenly say that there can only be one in this screening hall or go out, what will they do?

Cowardly suicide, huddling with friends, or bravely killing relatives, friends, or strangers?

It's a choice between death and darkness, a choice for which there is no right answer.

That's why adults will break out in a cold sweat when they see it.

It's like that famous rail problem.

The train is running for dozens of people, and there is only one person on the other road, will you press the turn button?

What if one person is on the road and that person is your family and friend?

What if the person on that road was you?

The questions and situations raised in "Battle Royale" are even more direct and simple, he simplifies everything to the simplest life and death, and simplifies the relationship between the characters into the simplest and simplest classmate relationship, which brings tension and thinking to the story.

The adult world is complex, and many adults have one set on the surface and another behind the scenes, and hypocrisy and intrigue are full of adult worlds.

But the world of children is relatively simple, although there are situations of one kind or another, but there is no doubt that it will be simpler than the world of adults.

With this simplicity, it is better to highlight the simplicity and horror of the story.

In terms of pictures, on the psychological level, this movie is not terrible, but this movie has made a really terrible thing, that is, the human heart, after watching this movie, when people who have known and familiar each other face each other, it is inevitable that an idea will be born.

If I really start a battle royale, will the people around me hurt me?

This movie is put out on the bright side, and what everyone can see is the most naked human heart and the most bloody human nature.

People who are sunny in their hearts and full of confidence may not be like this movie after seeing it, they will feel terrible, they will feel terrible, but they will believe that they will also make the right choice like those positive teenagers and girls in the movie.

But on the contrary, the darker the heart, the more people who think about intrigue all the time, and think about how to step on other people's corpses to get on the throne, the more they will think that this movie is terrible, and they will think that everyone around them has the same idea as themselves, no one can believe it, and no one can betray it.

The more such people are, the more they will hate them, because this movie shows the darkest and cruelest corners of their hearts.

Two hours of movie play time flies by in a flash.

After the movie ended, everyone walked out of the theater almost in a cold sweat.

Media reporters are excited, except for a small number of reporters who want to stay for interviews, most of the remaining reporters are rushing back to their editorial offices or TV stations, everyone has seen Fan Cheng's movie, it is indeed amazing, at first everyone thought that the review department was exaggerating, but now I found that it is not exaggerated at all, it is too scary and terrifying, this drama is a torture of everyone's heart.

People in the media know that this movie is likely to be popular, whether a movie is popular or not, it is not only the quality of the movie that you watch, but also the topicality, Fan Sanshu's movie, after it is released, there are bound to be countless saliva waiting, and all kinds of criticism and even scolding will definitely not be less, this kind of voice for Fan Cheng, as long as it does not hurt the muscles and bones to affect the screening, it will only have positive help, the bigger the discussion, the greater the number of audiences and the box office.

As for the people in the Dongai crew, when they came out of the movie theater and watched the third uncle again, their expressions had changed.

The third uncle in the movie is so terrible, he is obviously smiling so brightly, and even when the battle royale game is going on, he is quite gentle to the teenagers and girls, but his actions and behaviors are completely different from what he does, and the way he laughs and kills people is too terrifying!

So much so that everyone in the crew couldn't help but wonder if this was the real appearance of the third uncle, especially Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen, the two of them had made the third uncle so angry before, if the third uncle's temper was really like this, even if it was just a little like this, then everyone would like to thank the third uncle for not killing.

After the internal screening of this movie, Fan Cheng was a little surprised to find that the filming of "East Love" was much easier, everyone in the crew is now obedient to Fan Cheng, Fan Cheng can even feel the fear in their eyes when they look at themselves, this is amazing, it is obviously just an ordinary romance film, and everyone in the crew has gradually begun to get used to the cordial character of the third uncle, but after the screening of the movie, the style of painting has changed abruptly, as if the third uncle has suddenly become a super bad guy.

The image that has been so hard to build has been completely changed just because of the relationship of a movie.

With Fan Cheng's operation of both soft and hard, he finally took full control of the crew, "Battle Royale" is not only terrible in content, but also in terms of movie quality, with such an excellent work, everyone also admires Fan Cheng, this is an excellent film work, a film director or something, which is known as an "artist"-like existence, and the director of a TV series is not at the same level at all.

Such a talented and capable film director would be so kind to make a TV series with us, even if he is actually in the movie, it is worth the risk because he is a truly capable person.

The discussion in the crew was limited to the crew, and outside the crew, the media people and film critics who watched "Battle Royale", and the people in the entertainment industry had a war of words.

The people who finally saw Fan Cheng's new work were first amazed, and they compared Fan Cheng's first three screenwriting works with this movie.

For example, a well-known film critic commented: ""The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Space" is a standard so-called Fan Cheng-style idol movie, the whole drama is full of relaxed and wonderful atmosphere, and then "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun", although gangster content is added to the movie, and there are even some combat and bloody records, but on the whole it is still essentially a youth film, and the last "Tragedy" , although it is also a youth film, but in terms of the quality and content of the film, in fact, this film is more like an opera or a literary film.

"The Tragedy" has a lot of exaggerated and unreasonable places, and it also exaggerates a lot of plot content, like the assassination at the end of the film, the girl rushes to the heroine with a dagger, the people around her are separated like Moses crossing the Red Sea, the man blocks each other with exaggerated steps, and finally there is a focus like stage lighting, this kind of stage drama-like exaggeration gives the film the temperament of a literary film between fiction and reality.

After watching these three movies, I did doubt that the third uncle's works, according to the curve of these three works, the artistry has improved a little bit, and the youth and commercial atmosphere have decreased a little bit.

At that time, this idea only flashed in my heart, and I didn't expect that the third uncle would really do it.

I didn't expect that the third uncle did really so well. ”

Someone else said: "The artistic level of this movie, the torture of human nature, etc., everyone will definitely say it, so I won't talk about it here, what I want to talk about is the ability that the third uncle shows as a director in this work."

In the past, we could give Uncle San a lot of labels, from variety show producers, to cross talk artists, TV drama screenwriters and directors, singers, lyricists and composers, etc., but now we have to prepare a new identity for Uncle San as a film director.

How capable he is as a film director, although he can't give a full score, but in my opinion, a perfect score of 100 points, giving 95 points is completely fine.

Let's talk about the content of this battle royale first, what the third uncle wrote, is a cruel work with hope, the quality of the work is undoubted, if it is turned into words, it is estimated that it will be easy to win an award for the essay on suspense and horror works.

Then there is the shooting effect of the third uncle as a director, the third uncle's TV series has a completely different style from our Chinese film and television circle, which is recognized in our circle, which may have something to do with the fact that the third uncle has not taken any professional courses, maybe this is a genius, obviously he has not received any teaching, but he can find a set of things that are completely different from the current film and television style.

In domestic movies, most of the plots are linear, building a stage around one or two important characters, and other characters serve them, and Fan Cheng's work, although there are also protagonists, but Fan Cheng's protagonist seems to be more like a clue that threads the storyline, although we have also achieved the goal through the protagonist, but compared with the protagonist, the roles of the supporting characters are more distinct, and their stories are more attractive.

It's just that the third uncle filmed very well, a large number of supporting roles not only did not make the audience feel bored, but through the wonderful performance of the supporting characters, through their different stories, the theme of the film was deepened, and finally, every action and every choice of these supporting characters was reflected in the ending, if there was no death and withdrawal, the two protagonists would just be two cowardly and lucky clue-type characters, because 40 of these 42 people were either cowardly or strong, highlighting the two kind but sticking to their hearts, a little cowardly but constantly growing protagonists。

As for the shooting techniques, the third uncle also showed a completely different style from our Chinese filmmakers, he created a distinctive music for the film, in terms of shooting techniques, the plot and style of the forty people are different, and the relative pictures and shooting are also subtle differences, each group of pictures and camera movements are either smooth and natural, or dark and pessimistic, fully demonstrating his talent as a director.

The third uncle's films, in terms of artistic standards, film quality and shooting technology, may not reach the level of the top Chinese directors, but in my opinion, his films are worthy of all Chinese filmmakers to enter the cinema to watch, because this is a style that we have never seen so far, smart filmmakers, if they can integrate the third uncle's film style into their own films, it is likely to achieve great success.

And the same is true of the third uncle, he has established his own style, his own works, if he can continue to learn the advantages of Chinese films, and integrate these advantages into his own works, the third uncle can also create the top film works.

Don't forget, the third uncle is not yet thirty years old, and being able to create such a work at such an age itself represents his genius ability. ”

There are many voices praising Fan Cheng and "Battle Royale", but the film critics who despise, worry, hate, and even scold this work exist just as well as filmmakers.

Someone said: "The third uncle's film works, from the first part, are actually very distinct, that is, focusing on the brain hole, regardless of reality, what kind of girl who travels through time and space, a girl who is a gangster boss, etc., plus this battle royale, the third uncle's works, in fact, are absolutely impossible things to happen in reality, he is forever immersed in his own false world."

It's terrible, because we all live in reality, focus on reality, and works that describe reality are really good works, fantasy, fairy tales, and even magic and the like, such gimmicky works, no matter how artistic the shell is on the outside, can't get rid of those eye-catching natures, and people who like his works that are out of the real world are probably just as naïve as him. ”

Someone else said: "This is a complete work that depicts the darkness of human nature, there are no good people in the work, even if it is the two protagonists, not only kill people in the end, but their cowardice and cowardice are also hateful, and only a person like Fan Cheng who is actually dark in nature can make such a work, I am very skeptical, why did such a work finally pass the review?" In my opinion, this kind of dark work should not be reviewed at all, the audience will only be polluted by the worldview of the work when they see such a work, and they will learn to be as dark as the characters in the work, and we people with conscience should spontaneously stand up and resist such works!"

The chaotic voices quarreled before the movie was broadcast, and those who were fortunate enough to have seen the work praised and scolded them, and these voices continued until the movie was released, constantly deepening people's curiosity about the content of the movie, it can be said that with such an evaluation, it is almost impossible for Fan Cheng to fail this work.

The time has finally entered April, the broadcast of "East Love" is about to begin, and the release of the movie is ready to go, Fan Cheng and Dongbao and the comprehensive entertainment channel are about to usher in a series of big moves that have attracted much attention, and at the same time, the results of Fan Cheng's side in music are also amazing.

The sales of Xiaowenzhen's "FIRSTLOVE" album have officially exceeded 20 million.
