Whether Wang Jiawei's movie is good or bad, there are countless evaluations, but if you gather these people together and ask everyone, what is good about this movie? What's the bad? I'm afraid that as long as you are not an insider, you can't answer, even those who specialize in a position can't answer. Even if you can answer it, I'm afraid it's only a half-understanding, such as the scattered and mixed editing that everyone knows and the strong sense of loneliness in the picture, if you are asking a deeper level, ask Wang Jiawei's martial arts movements in "East Evil and West Poison" are obviously designed by Hong Jinbao, why can't you see the neatness of the Hong family class? How did the scene of urban people's loneliness come from in Wang Jiawei's film? I guess it's going to be dumbfounded.

In order to study Wang Jiawei's movie, Shao Yingying gathered the most capable people under his hands, and these insiders studied Wang Jiawei to the bottom, in order to be more thorough, Shao Yingying specially found Gao Xiaosong, who had helped him record a single.

The energy of so many people gathered together is very terrifying, just like a group of rough men who have peeled off the coat of the big girl in Wang Jiawei's movie layer after layer, no matter how the girl shouted, there was no pity at all.

In 2005, Shao Yingying came into contact with online novels and knew a word called 'crossing', but after learning about Wang Jiawei's movie, he found that even if a time-traveler who graduated from a college class wanted to copy Wang Jiawei's movie, it was unlikely that Wang Jiawei was an all-rounder, no matter how good or low his skills were, he would definitely be a generalist.

"Mong Kok Carmen" is Wang Jiawei's first film, and the soundtrack used by Wang Jiawei in this movie is still the popular music "Passion-Love" and "How Can It Be Reasonable"; But when it came to "The True Story of A Fei", Wang Jiawei began to use foreign music, not to say that domestic music and foreign music are higher and which is lower. It means that Wang Jiawei's horizons have been broadened, for example, in "The True Story of A Fei", Wang Jiawei used "Maria-bona", which was very popular in the 60s, and Wang Jiawei used "PROLOGUE", the father of Argentine tango.

got Gao Xiaosong's answer. Shao Yingying understands that Wang Jiawei is also a director who has always been improving, and the change of music proves that he is no longer focusing on Xiangjiang, he wants to go higher and fly farther.

Shao Yingying asked Niu Wa again, when he watched "East Evil and West Poison", he felt that the action scenes in the movie were very different, and he couldn't tell what was different. Niu Wa was stunned when asked, and he couldn't answer this question. Anyway, give Niu Wa the same camera, in the same scene, sorry. He couldn't shoot that because it wasn't slow motion at all.

This problem is the mystery that was debunked by Cheng Long, and this technique is called 'stealing the grid and printing'. And Wang Jiawei used the processing technique of 'stealing grid printing + fish glasses' in "East Evil and West Poison". This technique makes Hong Jinbao's clear action design blurry, and the sense of urgency and intermittent suffocation is suddenly enhanced.

The so-called stealing grid printing is not a slow motion in the ordinary sense, it means that when the film is printed, every 3 frames are used as a unit in 24 frames per second, and the last two frames are removed and the first frame is printed twice, so that the speed of the picture will not change in any way, but it is rapid and intermittent, as if getting a scratched disc and playing it in a DVD. It's like a 'card disk'. It's just that it's not really a 'card disc', it's a sense of intermittent that reminds people of the effect of a 'card disc'.

This technique has been widely used by Wang Jiawei in his own films, and has even become his unique label. Among them, "East Evil and West Poison" and "Fallen Angel" are particularly obvious.

The so-called slow motion is the result of multi-party cooperation, first of all, the camera shooting slows down, the protagonist also performs in slow motion, and the background crowd acts at normal speed, when the film is printed and projected at normal speed, the protagonist's performance becomes a normal speed under the naked eye, and the background crowd becomes fast, after a few simple changes, the protagonist will sit in the camera and do his own thing, and the background crowd has become a quick shadow in the lens, The loneliness and alienation of an entity surrounded by multiple phantoms instantly becomes particularly obvious, and the dreamlike uncertainty exclusive to literary films comes out.

In "Fallen Angel", there is a scene where the protagonist is presented to the audience in a black and white lens in a bar, this scene is shot in one second and four frames, and the two-minute picture is given to Wang Jiawei for 12 minutes, and the watermark marks at the edge of the picture turn the background into a haha mirror effect, making the whole shot look unreal, this is Wang Jiawei's style. In order to show the split and independence of the character's self-world and the objective outside world, he even used an exaggerated wide-angle lens to let a group of people fight to death in the camera, and the main characters live in different worlds in the same environment as if they didn't see anything, so as to emphasize their loneliness and loneliness, closed pitiful, and their labeling is obviously incomparable.

This is Wang Jiawei's movie, in addition to monologues, narrations, and classic lines, the label that is easiest for people to see.

With so many different techniques of editing, printing, and photography, it is absolutely impossible for a person who specializes in one line to shoot, and it is impossible to shoot according to the original lens with every shot firmly in mind.

What's more, Wang Jiawei's movies are too scattered, and they can be explained clearly in one line but have to be cut into eighteen spliced scenes, which causes his movies to often feel incomprehensible, and it is also the main reason why the box office is not high but he can win many awards.

"Mong Kok Carmen" uses red, orange and blue as the basic tone; "East Evil and West Poison" uses two natural environments: the dusk desert and the dim wind and sand; "2046" uses clothes of the same color and curtains together, breaking the memory that you can't stick to the bottom (color). These things are not difficult for insiders at all, but no one can use Wang Jiawei's effect, two cooks fry the same dish, and what comes out is always two flavors, which is the particularity.

These are Wang Jiawei's characteristics, a director who can stand on the same scale as the entire team of Galaxy Imaging and make the balance not tilt at all.

Of course, Wang Jiawei also has his own exceptions, there is a movie that makes Wang Jiawei give up most of the above methods, this movie is "The Grandmaster"!

For Wang Jiawei's other films. "The Grandmaster" is an out-and-out commercial film, in addition to broken cuts, narration, characters and plots that may be messed in at any time, there is also the rain battle that is pushed to the extreme in slow motion.

When the promotional video of "The Grandmaster" was released. "Dragon Gate Dart Game" is on the air, Ning Caishen and his creative team simulated the rain battle scenes, but unfortunately, in the end, Ning Caishen and his team have never been able to fully simulate it, so they can only seek to resemble it, which Ning Caishen even publicly admitted in the media, saying that it is a tribute to "The Grandmaster".

The most interesting thing is. When "The Grandmaster" was released, there were many versions of the film, including the American version, the French version, the Hong Kong version and the mainland version, in order to make it easier for foreign audiences to understand the story of "The Grandmaster". Wang Jiawei added subtitle explanations to the American version of the movie, and each character will have corresponding subtitles when they appear. The plot is even more flat and straightforward, first of all, it talks about the process of Ip Man teaching boxing from Gaoshan to Xiangjiang in order; In the story of the revenge of the two priests in the insertion.

The only difference is that Gong Er's role has been cut a lot. The edited movie is not jumping around. The first line of the sky is not flickering left and right...... As a result, it attracted comments from foreign audiences: 'How-The-Americn-Cut-of-'The-Grandmaster'-Ruins-a-Masteipiece'.

Why is this happening?

Shao Yingying asked himself this question when he checked the news about "The Grandmaster" after returning from Xiangjiang.

Immediately afterwards, when he raised his head and saw that the total domestic box office performance of "The Grandmaster" was 288 million, Shao Yingying understood that in addition to having the same beauty, the particularity of this movie exclusive to Wang Jiawei disappeared, and even because of this, there were some bad reviews in China. Wang Jiawei has a box office. With the box office, it proves that there are more people watching it, and the more people there are, the more opinions. Naturally, there is no word of mouth.

In the past, Wang Jiawei only lived among a small group of fans around him, and in the hearts of these people, Wang Jiawei's movies have never been popular, in line with their tastes, but now the environment has changed, and the mentality can only change with it.

These are all normal.

After Shao Yingying came back, he made a phone call to the company, arranged things, and set the time for each drama to be released, and the next day, Wang Jiawei came to the mainland.

Wang Zhongjun, Shao Yingying, and Wang Jiawei sat at the scene of the press conference and held a signing ceremony.

The war of words ensued, Zhang Weiping of the heart picture almost attacked frantically with a reasonable and unforgiving posture, Wang Zhongjun helped Shao Yingying to sit firmly in the military tent, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth.

"What? Wang Jiawei? No kidding, can anyone understand him filming that thing? Even if there are people who can understand it, some people will watch it, but does Wang Jiawei's movie have high box office results? Can his movie compare with the movie of the heart picture at the box office? Zhang Weiping said sarcastically in front of the media in his office: "Huayi, don't forget that we are competing at the box office this time, do you guarantee that Wang Jiawei can make a movie next year's New Year?" Hahahaha......"

When the smile appeared on the TV screen, Shao Yingying had already set off with Wang Jiawei, they were looking for famous artists in the north and south of the country, and even on the road of looking for famous artists, they begged others to show their boxing, sect characteristics and origins under the camera.

Wang Jiawei said that he had to know where this faction came from and where it arose, maybe he didn't shoot these things, but he couldn't know it.

So, Wang Zhongjun responded to Zhang Weiping's question in his office, and he only responded with one sentence and asked the reporter to go to the meeting by himself in the office, he said: "If there is no Huayi's movie released in the Chinese New Year next year, we will lose." ”

Atmosphere.

When Shao Yingying followed Wang Jiawei to the north and south, when he heard this sentence, he thought that he had seen the scene before the duel between Ip Man and Gong Er in "The Grandmaster", Ip Man said: "Kung fu is a delicate battle, break things, you win." ”

With such a large investment, Wang Jiawei also felt the pressure, he smoked almost any time he could stop, and he also thought about problems in the words of any person.

In fact, Shao Yingying knows that Wang Jiawei also cares about the box office, especially when Huayi gave 75 million funds and 2,500 reserve funds, people have figured out your habits, shouldn't you come up with something real?

No wonder in the filming process of the original "The Grandmaster", Wang Jiawei dared to kill even if he asked Zhao Benshan to film, Zhao Benshan had a soup scene in "The Grandmaster", that is, put a spoon into the pot and make some soup to take a bite, that scene is said to have been filmed more than 80 times, and Zhao Benshan didn't know what his surname was, but people were filming there, regardless of film loss, whether the actors were tired or not, and whether the on-site workers could stand it, it was bankrupt, and this scene had to be filmed steadily.

Other people let the actors eat the scene thoroughly first, for fear of accidents during the filming, but Wang Jiawei didn't, he didn't send a script to Zhao Benshan before filming, and when he approached Zhao Benshan, it was not for filming, but for finding a scene. When he arrived in the Northeast to shoot the snow scene, Wang Jiawei was simply black-eyed, and he couldn't find it anywhere, so he touched the territory of Benshan Media, Wang Jiawei called 'big brother' and invited Zhao Benshan out, the snow scene and the old railway station in the movie were all found by Zhao Benshan, and it was only after the drama was talked.

When Zhao Benshan joined the crew, he didn't know who he was playing, and he didn't know what the script was, Wang Jiawei gave Zhao Benshan a piece of paper every day, with words like 'go over' and 'take a look' written on it, which made Zhao Benshan think he was playing Zhang Ziyi's father (actual interview) before he came......

Yes, Wang Jiawei used to play the set of filming without a script when he was filming in Xiangjiang, if he couldn't write a script, he would write a narration about Tsundere to his home, which has the characteristics of a movie narration, to be honest, it is also the result of suffocating and hurting. But "The Grandmaster" is not without a script, what he wants is the strangeness of the actor's first contact with the script, and he has to wear out this strangeness again and again in the performance, and the rest is the essence he needs.

Shao Yingying, who had found so many things, couldn't let Wang Jiawei continue to waste time on these things, so he called Zhao Benshan early and asked someone to help find the scene and the old train station. Zhao Benshan's Benshan Media is now hanging on the Huayi Performing Arts Network, and it is naturally not a problem to help this little favor, and he agreed very happily.

In the days when he followed Wang Jiawei to visit the martial arts masters, Shao Yingying almost prepared everything he could, but all the details that came to mind were foreshadowed early, in order to let Wang Jiawei quickly enter the filming state, and he would never let the drama "The Grandmaster" have even the slightest accident.

After going outside for a few months, Wang Jiawei and Shao Yingying traveled almost non-stop to the famous masters in eastern Guangdong, Beijing, and Jinzhong, soaking in various martial arts stories and move characteristics, and the bubbles were about to become formalin.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, the two broke up in eastern Guangdong, and agreed to embark on the road of search again after the New Year, and in 2005, it was finally time to draw an end.

This year, Shao Yingying stepped into the box office club of 100 million yuan, and became a small screen star to a big screen star with a certain appeal; This year, Shao Yingying became the owner of Huayi and helped Huayi dominate the front page headlines for a whole year; This year, Shao Yingying continued to dominate the small screen market, dominating the ratings with one TV series after another......

It's just that he still hasn't won any awards in the big screen market, nor has he won any annual box office champions. (To be continued......)
