Chapter 283: This movie is good
Everyone who watched the movie knew that among the four robbers, it was Gu Cancan who wore a Tang Seng mask, after all, even if it was a wide overalls, it was difficult to hide her graceful figure.
It's hard to associate her usual pretty appearance with the current appearance of a ruthless robber.
Then they saw Gu Cancan's fierce side in the film.
The security guards in the monitoring room were happily playing games, not noticing that the staff of the Fortune Center in the monitoring room were all controlled by several robbers.
Tang Seng, who had a strange and kind smile, stood behind the security guard who was playing the game and watched for a while, and the security guard was immersed in the joy of happy consumption and didn't notice it at all.
There are countless ways to control this security guard at this time.
Tang Seng used the most violent method, knocking the security guard to the ground with a stick, and then beating him all the way, and the security guard who beat him rolled and crawled, almost unable to take care of himself.
Gu Cancan heard someone in the back row complaining in a whisper.
"I didn't expect that although Gu Cancan has no breasts, he is still quite fierce in the movie."
“……”
Calm down, life is so good, but I'm so irritable, it's not good, it's not good.
The robber with the gun forced the supervisor to open the door to the vault, and it was very discordant here, and the robber was actually holding a firearm.
Zhou Qin pouted, it is impractical here, Huaxia has such strict gun control, how can they get standard firearms.
However, as soon as the thought turned in his mind, he also understood the director's intention, after all, there were only four robbers who entered the Bashang, and it can be seen from the movie that there are at least 20 employees of the Bashang Fortune, and if you don't have guns, it will be difficult to control so many people.
Of course, don't delve into how these robbers got their hands on these standard weapons.
What he observed was Gu Cancan's performance.
The camera flashed quickly, the four robbers easily controlled the scene, Tang Seng made a few simple gestures, and several robbers began to work separately in an orderly manner.
To Zhou Qin's surprise, Gu Cancan's role basically didn't even show his face, but he could intuitively feel that she was the leader of several people, which was the so-called aura.
"The camera cuts are smooth, and the quality of the opening image is great." Zhou Qin skillfully wrote the evaluation of the beginning of the film in his notebook.
When the inside of the bank was in chaos, the camera turned, it was still raining heavily, and the driver who was driving for the robbers was sitting alone in the car, looking nervous with the urgent back music.
However, at this moment, the sound of a police car came from behind him, and through the blurred rear mirror, the red and blue colors of the police lights kept changing, and the driver's nervous cold sweat broke out.
While staring at the rear mirror, he reached out to grab the walkie-talkie, wanting to report to the robbers inside, but because of nervousness, he dropped the walkie-talkie under the seat next to him, and the driver quickly wanted to bend down to pick it up, but he didn't find that the traffic police had come to his car door and were knocking on the door.
"Dangdangdang---"
The sound of the traffic policeman's fingers knocking on the glass is like knocking on the driver's heart.
At this time, the camera turns to the bank, and the robber is asking the bank employee to open the cash vault, and the bank employee is afraid of delaying some time.
The picture cuts back to the box again, and the traffic police outside looked at the driver's ID and said to the driver: "This can't be stopped, hurry up and drive away!" ”
The driver quickly nodded his head again and again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this time, thinking that this dangerous moment was over, but at this moment, the walkie-talkie that the driver dropped on the side rang: "The treasury is a little delayed, pay attention to the surrounding situation, even if there is an abnormality." Hurry back when you receive it! ”
The audience, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately brought up their nervous hearts again.
The traffic police heard the words in the walkie-talkie clearly, stopped leaving, and looked at the driver through the rearview mirror, and the traffic policeman's hand had touched the gun on his side.
The voice in the walkie-talkie continued to come out, "Is there a situation outside?" Reply, fatty! ”
The driver couldn't hold on any longer, so he directly started the car and rushed up, knocked the traffic police to the side, and then hit an electric three-wheeler, and fled in embarrassment.
At this point, the plot has become clear, the robbers have opened the vault, but the police have arrived and surrounded them.
"How do you break the game? Also, isn't the protagonist Chen Kun and them? Zhou Qin became more and more interested in this movie, and unconsciously adjusted to a sitting position, as if he was watching a movie for entertainment.
The screen switches again, and the situation is already quite tense at this time, and a question arises in everyone's minds, how can the robbers get out?
However, the robber in the monkey mask heard other voices in the vault and went in to check, and when he saw a hole in the ground, the subtitles appeared again, and then everyone realized that it seemed that the movie had just begun here.
The camera passes through the hole, and when it comes out from the other side, it is a hot pot restaurant, a hot pot restaurant opened by Chen Kun and Yu Entai together.
The plot of the movie only starts from the beginning here!
As the movie progresses, Chen Kun, Yu Entai, and another male No. 3 have all appeared, and then about this hot pot restaurant business, as well as the conflicts and contradictions between the different life developments of the three people, as well as the relationship between the heroine and Chen Kun, it is complex and simple, very close to reality, just like the stories that happen around us, trivial but helpless.
And all this ordinary and helpless life has changed as they opened up the bank's treasury.
……
After the movie was over, the media and film critics also took what they should have, and the film reviews about "Hot Pot Hero" appeared in various media in the evening.
And in the professional comments of the media, Haopi occupies the majority!
"The film exudes a strong mountain city atmosphere from the story, dialogue, actors and shooting framing, and at the same time covers many genre elements such as absurdity, comedy, crime, suspense, etc., and the thrilling and explosive action scenes are matched with the local dialect to give people a unique audio-visual feast." ------ Huaxia Entertainment News.
Although the story in the film takes place in a mountain city, the scenes such as bank robbery, street fighting, and group fights are very Hong Kong gangster film style, and the director made a mountain city movie with the feeling of a Xiangjiang movie. As a movie in which the whole film uses the Shancheng dialect, the Shancheng dialect adds a lot of color to the movie, and it is very joyful without too many geographical restrictions. ---- Kyoto Movie Weekly.
and the Chinese Film Times wrote: "In the protagonists of the film, they are full of grievances, and the temperament of those who belong to the "heroes" has been hidden, and what is presented in front of the audience is just a small person image who is so ordinary that it can no longer be ordinary and has no sense of existence in daily life.
However, the beauty of the film lies in the fact that it uses the contrast between the little people and the big heroes to convey a sense of heroism. The plot of the film is very tightly woven by the two story lines in the film, one bright and one dark, and one main and one at a time. On the bright line of the main body, the film uses black humor to satirize the "heroism" that the protagonists do not have.
On the surface, the film seems to show the unique "cowardice" of small people again and again. But behind the "cowardice", it is actually the kindness of the protagonists and the importance of friendship. And this is the dark line in the film due to Xiaohui's letter. The best part of the film's drama is that it doesn't do too much of the past and flashbacks. Because the memories are so far that ink is like gold, it has the effect of turning stones into gold.
Although the film chooses a slightly somber image tone, the dim lights in the air defense D, the Hazy sky and falling rain, and the narrow roads and corridors do not seem to be able to completely cover the refreshing feeling of reminiscing about this story.
There are no dazzling heroes in the film, but there are little people who burst out of light because of the friendship in their hearts. The rise of the little people is a more real and commendable heroism in the film. ”
Of course, in addition to these good reviews, negative reviews are always indispensable for every movie, just a few times.
made different comments on the movie in the Modu Film and Television News: "This movie is like a hot pot with rich ingredients, "Hot Pot Hero" organizes a series of crime, comedy, suspense, youth, friendship and other elements, but director Yang Qing has not been able to control the heat of these elements well from the perspective of the finished film, so that although the movie has a surprise with black humor, it is defeated by the double criticism of rhythm and logic.
Director Yang Qi seems to be learning from Ning Hao, and also adopts a double-line narrative, but the plot structure of the double-line narrative did not win applause for the movie, on the contrary, it only made the story mixed, and the brilliance of "Hot Pot Hero" was actually only maintained in the first half of the short time. The abrupt style shift turns the excellent suspenseful rendering into a lengthy emotional rambling, and it is difficult to have both fish and bear paws, and the lack of coherence in the narrative of the two-line structure exposes Yang Chi's immaturity in directing skills.
The brilliance of crime suspense movies, whether there can be convincing and amazing logic is undoubtedly the most critical factor, it is true that "Hot Pot Hero" has a surprise drama in some episodes, but these dramas are at the expense of the logic of the movie, which ultimately makes almost all the nodes of the movie can only be attributed to coincidental accidents, and unreasonable dramatic effects, although it can make the movie compact at first glance, bizarre and interesting, but when you have seen this story, it is impossible to be convincing, Not to mention the amazing filming, which ultimately makes this movie just mediocre as a crime suspense film.
Kneaded with the aggregation of multiple elements, but in fact did not be able to play any of them, although the excellent blueprint is like a pot of good ingredients, but unfortunately this hot pot does lack some heat! It's a pity! ”
Compared with those media outlets, the film reviews of wild film critic Zhou Qin adopt his usual spicy style.
"First of all, I would like to introduce several of the protagonists in "Hot Pot Heroes". Male protagonist: Can go to PK a group of people with guns with kitchen knives alone.
Heroine: The White Lotus rescued the colleague who had bullied her countless times.
At the meeting, director Yang Qi said that this is his painstaking work for many years of preparation, just like Shancheng hot pot, in the film, various elements are boiled in a pot, and some special spicy dipping sauce is added to serve it to the audience.
"Losers Alliance" is a typical stalk of youth feelings, which has been tried and tested in domestic youth films in recent years, and has even been used to the point of flooding. The target audience is the post-80s generation who are now working and starting a family, with secret loves, broken loves, love letters, and reunions after a few years. It is precisely because of this youthful love that it has contributed to the behavioral motivation of internal and external collusion many years later, and all the actions of the characters are rationally explained.
Then there is the strong mountain town regional characteristics. One after another steep roads, closely lined high-rise buildings, and the damp atmosphere of the Jialing Riverbank. Open a hot pot restaurant in the air defense D, if the area is not enough, you can expand it casually, dig and dig to dig into the bank vault, except for the mountain city, I really don't know where else there can be such a scene.
The whole play is deliberately unfolded in the Chongqing dialect, which highlights the strong sense of region. The three brothers who opened the shop together are all poor people in life, and the hot pot restaurant that is struggling to support is unsustainable, facing the temptation of money, greed and righteous thoughts are constantly at war, and the brilliance of human nature is highlighted in the choice.
However, the questioning of the plot and rationality in the movie still made me mind.
One is what the heroine Yu Xiaohui can do in the bank.
At the beginning, when she explained that she was unsatisfactory at work, was embarrassed and excluded by her colleagues, and was hinted by her boss that she would not change, she should be a business person in the approval department of a project.
However, when she offered to help Chen Kun enter the vault, she had the authority to invite outsiders into the vault, and she had a document on the remuneration of everyone in the bank - what did she do? Is it for administration, personnel, or specific investment and financing business? Although it is a detail, if it is not handled well, it is really dramatic.
The other is the moment when Chen Kun was controlling the leader of the kidnappers and the other kidnappers were forced to disarm, I couldn't understand why all the office staff of the bank didn't take the opportunity to knock down all the kidnappers together - such a good opportunity, but it was missed in vain, and it was indeed unconvincing. Of course, this is also one of the points that has been complained about in many movies!
And perhaps it is precisely because of these key points that advance the plot that I have doubts that I have never been able to really be moved by the plot. When the blood of all kinds of fights on the screen is blurred, and the kidnappers, loan sharks, and hot pot heroes are all in a scuffle, I always quietly watch and watch how this drama ends. Then they finally subdued the kidnappers, and then they finally became heroes, and then they decided to open another hot pot restaurant in this city full of hot pot restaurants, in their old business of poor management......
I don't understand it!
But the film also has a lot of highlights, when I was watching, I repeatedly heard a female audience around me can't stop admiring, why are the robbers so handsome? Gu Cancan was full of aggression and was about to be bent...... Strange words like that.
Gu Cancan's performance in the film this time is the biggest highlight of this film, to my surprise, the robber leader she played is actually full of charm, I won't spoil the specifics, you will know when you go to the cinema.
Although there are such and such shortcomings, "Hot Pot Hero" is generally a domestic film worth watching, although there are some hard wounds, but the film is worth the ticket price and can be watched. ”
There are still a lot of fans of Zhou Qin's comment articles, and seeing Zhou Qin's evaluation of "Hot Pot Hero", especially about Gu Cancan, many people decided to wait for the official release of the movie to watch it to see if this movie recommended by Zhou Qin is good.
