Chapter 123: Film Review
Since he is only a supporting role in this movie, Lin Zhimo is still not too worried, so he is more relaxed when watching the movie.
As for Zhou Yanfa, he has already achieved fame many years ago, coupled with his confidence in himself and Li An, so his mentality is also very peaceful.
Yang Ziqiong is because she has put her heart and soul on the family side in recent years, and she has a detached mentality of success and gratification for this movie, and she has no worries about failure, so no matter how the film is evaluated, the box office will not have a big impact on her.
Among the four, only Zhang Ziyi is the most nervous, this film can be said to be her first stop to the world, in fact, the world is also rushing to the United States, after all, in the world, she can be regarded as an international superstar if she can make a name for herself in Hollywood, and in this regard, Li An has a lot of advantages over Zhang Yimou.
If you rely on this film to make a name for yourself in the United States, it can be said that you have already stepped into the Hollywood circle with one foot, so although Zhang Ziyi stared at the screen with both eyes when watching the film, her ears were always paying attention to the audience's reaction.
Lin Zhimo naturally saw Zhang Ziyi's nervousness, but this time both of them were arranged in the first row, and Lin Zhimo didn't dare to make any outrageous movements, only occasionally patted Zhang Ziyi's arm gently to comfort him when Yu Jiaolong performed in the film.
On the big screen at this time, it is also the last ** of the whole film, in a dark cave, the blue-eyed fox controlled Yu Jiaolong, and at this time Li Mubai rushed to the rescue, but because he was afraid of Yu Jiaolong's safety, he was shot by the blue-eyed fox's hidden weapon, and finally died in Yu Xiulian's arms.
Yu Jiaolong also felt guilty because of Li Mubai's death, and finally came to Wudang Mountain to find Luo Xiaohu waiting for him, and after a night of entanglement with him, he threw himself into the desperate ravine.
This ending was very unexpected, so that when the screen fell into darkness and the famous singer Li Wen's song "Moonlight Lover" began to sing, the audience was still immersed in the thinking brought to them by the film and did not come back to their senses.
It wasn't until the lights in the screening room were back on that the audience burst into thunderous applause, and when Lin Zhimo and others walked to the front desk, the applause of the 2,000 audience members was still continuing.
Li An took out the microphone several times and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by applause, and finally had to wait for everyone's applause to pause before starting to speak.
"Thank you, thank you for your support for me, and thank you for your love for this work." Li An said very little, just said a word of thanks and handed the microphone to Zhou Yanfa.
……
After the premiere, Lin Zhimo and others participated in a small celebration party held by the crew, after all, they didn't know what the box office and future award-winning prospects of the film would be, so the crew didn't make a big splash, but just invited some friends to participate.
The next day, all the front-page headlines in the entertainment media were reviews of the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and it was almost a one-sided cheer.
"This is a very in-depth martial arts film, he does not have the unique hero complex of traditional Chinese martial arts films, nor does he have a strong violent aesthetics, although he is dressed in the coat of martial arts films, but it explores the ** of people's surnames more deeply than any literary film, there is love and righteousness in it, it is a rare good film." -- "Movie of the Week" concludes with this report.
"Li Mubai, played by Zhou Yanfa, is dressed in a plain robe, broad-minded and magnanimous, especially when he dances his sword in the courtyard under the moonlight, which naturally reveals a heart-wrenching bearing, which is called' A generation of grandmasters'; and Yu Xiulian is a dart master who has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, just like her in the film, capable and calm, every weapon is proficient in everything and quite a lot of three flavors, which can be seen from the competition between her and Yu Jiaolong in the courtyard; Luo Xiaohu is also like his identity, his fists and feet are as simple as the straightforward surname of foreigners, and Lin Zhimo's superb acting skills also make people feel that it is not for nothing that the arrogant Jade Jiaolong will fall in love with him; 'Sharpening it, it can't be kept forever', and finally fell off the cliff and died. -- "Film Weekly" focused on the identity and martial arts performance of several actors in the film.
Zhou Yunfa's performance is the same as before, whether it is the fight in the bamboo forest or the usual speech, it all shows his superb acting skills; Yang Ziqiong also played a calm and capable heroine in the rivers and lakes, especially the flashes of her eyes were just right; Zhang Ziyi, a little girl, is also impressive, in "My Father and Mother", a rural girl's persistent pursuit of love is vividly displayed, and now this delicate and restrained Jade Jiaolong is also portrayed vividly by her, but no matter how good the first three performances are, they are not as good as the little supporting role played by Lin Zhimo - Luo Xiaohu. ”
Luo Xiaohu is undoubtedly a tragic figure in this film, but Lin Zhimo let this role release a dazzling brilliance in just over 20 minutes, which is not inferior to the other three leading actors. Whether it was his wanton chic in the desert, or the emotional outburst during the wedding, or the unwillingness to return to the martial arts at the end, he took it just right, and secretly thought that Lin Zhimo was better than the three of them only in terms of acting skills per unit of time. -- "Filmmaker" magazine, like their name, focuses on the portrayal of characters, and clearly elevates the acting skills of Lin Zhimo, a small supporting role, to the top level.
"It can be said that the whole 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' is a tragic movie. No matter how profound the connotation it explores and how nuanced the psychological portrayal of the characters is, tragedy is tragedy. Almost 80% of the plot of the whole film makes you feel very entangled in your heart, and the only part I watched that was not entangled was the scene between Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong in the desert, which is a kind of presentation of natural true surname love, the two are affectionate and courteous, there are no secular fetters and no constraints of etiquette, love is so natural and straightforward, which is beyond the original novel. Of course, I also want to thank Lin Zhimo and Zhang Ziyi for the superb performances of the two young actors, especially Lin Zhimo, the scene where he whistled down from the hillside waving a long knife, I believe there will be many girls who will be fascinated by it. -- "Weekend Entertainment" gave its front page a title called "The Least Tangled Part of the Tangled Film."
Whether it's genuine or just to attract attention, some people say good and some people must say bad.
"In my opinion, this is purely a bad movie that pleases foreigners and admires foreigners, first of all, the martial arts in the film and the martial arts seem too subtle and not exciting at all; Let's talk about light work, a person's light work can actually fly to the sky, and fly away with a light touch on the lake, which is too ethereal and meaningless; Finally, there are the deliberately displayed Chinese elements in the film, whether it is the props of the movie or the lines of the actors, they are all full of deliberately contrived Chinese elements, which is disgusting. This is a review written by a newspaper.
And if someone refutes it, there will naturally be people who support it, so another newspaper began to refute this negative report one by one.
But then again, the newspaper's coverage is not completely unmarketable, at least in the eyes of some viewers.
"It's boring! Is this also called a martial arts movie? ”
"It's so uncomfortable, after watching this film, I only feel in my heart 'surrounded by a kind of sadness of silence'."
"I came out halfway through it, it's really boring, I don't understand the lines at all."
"The martial arts scenes in it are so ugly that there is no creativity at all."
……
This is the opinion of a few people randomly interviewed on the street after the official release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on a TV station.
Judging from the box office of the movie alone, these people's opinions are very representative, because the box office of the entire "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has fully demonstrated the market's disappointment with this film.
A week after the premiere, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the first week came out, with a total of 2 million, which is really not a good result, especially compared to the one-sided praise and comments on the report, it is even more glaring.
Therefore, when this box office appeared in those media, the media, which had a lot of doubts about the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", tried their best to advocate what the eyes of the masses were clear.
However, these public opinion storms have nothing to do with Lin Zhimo, after the premiere, Lin Zhimo and Zhang Ziyi took the lead in leaving Xiangjiang, and then the two and Li An conducted another round of publicity in Taipei.
However, when they were in Treasure Island, they were different from Xiangjiang, the two were not only limited to the promotional activities of the press conference, they also needed to participate in some variety shows to promote.
