Xu Ke's latest work "Mirror" has been released, which is said to be adapted from the work of the same name by female writer Li Bihua, but the interesting thing is that the author did not sell this novel on the market, and there is news that it will be listed when the movie goes offline. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In any case, after the trailer of this "Mirror" was launched, the author was full of curiosity. Generally speaking, if there are two identical characters in a movie, and they have to rely on their contradictions to drive the plot, they are all played by one person and two characters. But Xu Ke boldly used Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiyan in "Mirror", playing two roles with exactly the same appearance, and after the trailer was broadcast, it was almost impossible to tell who was who, so it was inevitable to watch the movie for the first time.

Needless to say, there is a movie synopsis that after leaving home without saying goodbye, the child's mother Girl Li found that a strange woman who was almost exactly the same as herself broke into her family, and openly declared that she was the real Tong Li, and various tests proved that she and her were the same, so an undercurrent battle began.

This synopsis can't be said to be accurate, but it definitely can't be said to be inaccurate, after all, this is a suspense thriller movie, and it is inevitable to maintain suspense. I have to say that they did a good job, and the author was mentally prepared in time, and when I saw two-thirds of them in the cinema, I still couldn't help but exclaim with the others.

The story is so cleverly structured that when the lid is lifted, no one realizes that this is the truth. Although this is created by hiding key information, suspense is suspense, as long as it is not guessed by the audience, it is an excellent suspense.

The author is not going to say much here, if you want to know the details, please buy tickets to enter, if you are a lover of suspense and thrillers, I believe you will not be disappointed.

Xu Ke not only grasped the atmosphere of the story very well, far beyond "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", but also maintained a consistent control of color. The overall tone is cold, and the coldness and weirdness that a suspense thriller should have, there is no shortage at all, and the warm colors interspersed are very suitable, without dominating the crowd. This is most evident in the two heroines, Tong Li played by Lin Qingxia, who is dominated by bright colors throughout the movie, and the characters are also atmospheric, flamboyant, arrogant, free and easy, strong and inseparable.

Tong Li played by Hu Huiyan is dominated by simple and elegant tones, and the character is quiet, resolute, calm as water, and indomitable. The contrast between them is very strong, so they become the two most brilliant characters in the whole movie, and the others are a little overshadowed.

Especially in the tango duel on the rooftop, the two heroines performed extremely well, and the characters highlighted by the colors collided fiercely when competing for the initiative. Xu Ke accurately grasped the rhythm and filmed the dance with the feeling of a kung fu movie, making this scene seem lively and vivid, very classic.

Of course, this movie is not without its shortcomings, at least the characters go up to the rooftop to meet at every turn, lacking a bit of logic. The final decryption is also bloated because there are too many things to explain, and the means used are a little difficult to justify.

But this does not prevent this movie from being welcomed, regardless of the creation of the atmosphere, the control of the rhythm, the interpretation of the actors, Xu Ke did his best to achieve the end, and the touch of red at the end is also memorable, it is a rare masterpiece. ”

——Liu Wenjie of "Ming Pao Weekly".

This film review is just a microcosm of the Hong Kong critics after the release of "Mirror", on the one hand, this is a work that Mr. Li pays attention to, and he is naturally willing to spend money to make people say good things, on the other hand, this movie is indeed good enough, Xu Ke fully vented his accumulated talent under constraints and pressure.

Specifically reflected in Lin Qingxia, that wanton and flamboyant appearance, you can almost see a little shadow of the Oriental Sect Master, especially the determination and gentleness in the final self-judgment, the two images can completely coincide.

Well, this is Li Xu's request at all, Lin Qingxia in red, and finally the arrogant self-determination declaration that will never admit defeat, were all put forward by him, and the reference was the Eastern Sect Master.

Of course, thanks to Xu may grasp the main point and show it, you must know that the extremely ambiguous lily tango is completely Xu Ke's own play.

Li Xu has only one request here, whether he can make the rhythm of dancing feel like a kung fu movie, and then he threw it to Xu Ke. Unexpectedly, he not only did it, but also did it perfectly, so that after Li Xu saw the finished product, he was even more energetic when he flew Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiyan.

In short, in this movie, Lin Qingxia is more eye-catching than Hu Huiyan, the publicity, the forbearance, the determination, it is really shining like a flame, as brilliant as a firework.

Even Yishu, an old woman, couldn't help but write a praise: "When Chen Qian decided to take revenge with everything she had, no one could stop her." She is so painful, and she is so forbearing, she can dress up as Tong Li, or she can hide in the enemy's house for three years, and greet the murderer who killed her family with a smile.

Fortunately, although she is crazy, there is a bottom line after all, when she sees her former self who has fallen into hatred, when she sees that there are also people who can do anything to protect their families, she knows that she has crossed the line, and she knows that she should pay the price. So, she didn't hesitate to do it, and told the other party in her own way what the boundaries and costs were.

Xu Ke used 90 minutes to show us a crazy and tough woman, and Lin Qingxia's interpretation made her vivid and moving, I believe that for a long time, people will not forget this woman who is free and easy and plays with everyone on applause. ”

After all, a woman like her is no longer satisfied with the movie-watching experience of "I have tattoos, smoke, drink, swear, and still have little fresh meat kneeling and licking", but also want the feeling of playing with men on applause.

And when Li Xu designed the plot of "Mirror", or when designing the red-clothed Tong Li, he referred to the clown of "The Dark Knight".

In short, don't tell the audience that any of the villain's evil methods are just to show his successes again and again, so the image of no last resort is established.

So in "The Dark Knight", if the Joker wants to blend into the police team, he blends into the police team, and if he wants to put a bomb on the ship, he will put a bomb on the ship, and the audience will naturally make up for his omnipotence.

But it can't be completely copied, after all, the fingerprints, blood type, and teeth are exactly the same, which must be explained, otherwise the plot will really not be round.

Although the argument of bribing the insiders of the hospital and the police station is very disappointing, the omnipotent heroine uses such a method to achieve her goal?

In addition, the character of the Oriental Sect Leader was born, as well as the cold and arrogant people who were created, had the ability to have a bottom line and the means, and were forced to kill innocent people, then one life would be worth one life.

Such a feminist character, whether you like it or not, as long as you stand under the banner of feminism, you must come out and say hello.

Of course, there is also that ambiguous scene, and at the end, it is quite obvious that Tong Li in red protects and admonishes Tong Li in white.

Homosexuality is not as popular now as it was decades later, but it is still fashionable, and over time, many people who stand under the banner of feminism also stand under the banner of homosexuality.

After all, it is necessary to unite the objects that can be united, and not everyone is a real feminist, they may just want to get more benefits from men, or they may just want women to be above men, not equality.

All in all, a woman like Yishu will inevitably come out to express one or two for this movie.

In this way, the quality of the movie is excellent, the ambiguous scene is an ambiguous scene after all, and the two heroines are not really engaged in Ji. As I said before, it's okay to interpret the final conflict as sympathy, or Yishu's kind of first heroine sees her own shadow in the second heroine, and doesn't want the other party to repeat the mistakes of the past.

What's more, two beautiful women are ambiguously dancing tango together, and they are exactly the same artificial twins, which is still very exciting for men, so the box office rushed to the point of 20 million in three weeks.

Frankly speaking, this achievement is very average, although compared to other movies, it is already a great achievement, there are more and more movies that exceed 15 million, but there are still only a handful of movies that can exceed 20 million. As long as it crosses this line, it will definitely be able to occupy a position in the top ten box office lists that year, not to mention that this has not yet been offline, maybe it will be able to pull another three or four million in the future.

However, for Xu Ke and Imagination Pictures, this achievement is really average.

Mr. Li's customized works, Xu Ke did his best to create, Lin Qingxia and Hu Huiyan made a stunning appearance with short hair for the first time, playing two identical women in the movie, and they couldn't tell whether they were real or fake, these are all highlights.

What's more, the publicity is wave after wave, the streets and alleys are full of posters, and the trailer is also broadcast on two TV stations at the same time, and then the crew also goes on the show to promote, and so many film critics are waving their flags and shouting.

Even, Star TV also broadcast some behind-the-scenes shooting tidbits, which are very attractive, not to mention that the box office is going to break the record, but how should it be over 30 million, right?

Well, while the advantages are great, the disadvantages are not small.

First of all, after all, it is a drama with a woman as the protagonist, and no matter how exciting the story is, it will naturally push some of the audience away.

Secondly, most of the wonderful rivalry scenes are concentrated between the two heroines, they are prominent, and the others are somewhat blurred, and Lawyer Liu played by Liu Dehua is a little brilliant in the male role, which pushes some of the audience away.

Third, this is a suspense thriller movie, and suspense is one of the highlights, not to mention that the real and false Tong Li still involves the suspense at the core of the movie's contradictions. And after the movie is released, although the critics will be careful not to spoil it, they can't stand the fact that many viewers who have watched it will spread it with their mouths wide open, which pushes some viewers away.

So in the end, it became this, word-of-mouth and popularity seem to be bursting, but the box office is a little incompatible.

However, Li Xu and Xu Ke are prepared for this.
