To say that the whole country is shocked, it is really the whole country to be shocked!

Not even one country shocked, but many countries shocked!

If it is said that the police in many countries have previously said that they will be "on standby" during the release of "The Silence of the Lambs", it is a joke; Now it turns out that they are better off not taking it as a joke.

The "serial killer turned himself in" incident in a neighboring country was even more dramatic - a serial killer, after watching the movie, recognized a police officer in the same theater and went up on the spot to "give him his head".

This kind of "pie in the sky" that can also pick up a credit for watching a movie makes the police officer in question also look confused, and completely relies on instinct to handcuff the serial killer - there happens to be a reporter at the scene who recorded this scene completely.

- This is naturally the result of the resonance aura buff "going viral" overseas.

But the media and the public don't know.

They only know that this matter must be entertained and entertained, mysterious and mysterious, and legendary and legendary - if this cannot become a news headline that the people of the whole country like to see, it is simply intolerable!

Generally speaking, there are confidentiality requirements for large-scale crimes, and if the people involved are not too famous, it is unlikely that they will reach the level of national enthusiasm.

However, under a series of transnational "coincidences", every case involved in the "voluntary surrender incident" has a posture of national concern.

The source of the incident, "The Silence of the Lambs", is naturally popular in overseas markets!

Not to mention the Northern Dynasties, even the island country where the movie was released before and after, "The Silence of the Lambs" also won the top of the box office list of the day with the strictest rating.

In other countries, including countries where the movie has not yet been released, the media of good things are not idle-

They imaginatively listed some of their unsolved cases, especially serial murder unsolved cases, to see which one would be solved because of this movie.

The only question is, how do you get the serial killer to watch this movie on his own?

-- Although there are different theories about the causes behind the three successive "voluntary surrender incidents," there are some patterns that are not difficult to find.

For example, "The Silence of the Lambs" is like an "introduction", and the serial killer will only be "lured" to surrender until he has seen the movie in person.

Then, this has become a problem that even the police of many countries are seriously studying!

Such gimmicky news naturally further increased the popularity of this movie in the local area.

By this time, even people who did not have the habit of watching movies knew about this "magical" movie.

And this also made this full film continue to rise slightly at the box office on May 2, and the single-day box office exceeded 90 million in one fell swoop.

According to the predictions of professional box office research agencies, the box office of this thriller will break the box office records of all the restricted (some are R or NC17, anyway, the most restricted) genre box office records, yes, all!

What's even more incredible is that not many people have objected to this.

This made many peers unable to sit still.

……

In Shanghai, the cutting-edge director Luo Jianzhou did not bring any escorts as usual, and ran alone to the theater where he often watched movies in a low-key manner.

Big sunglasses that are big enough to cover half of his face, and wearing a mask, it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize him.

No way, in the theater where "The Silence of the Lambs" is screened, reporters haunt too often - every reporter hopes to be lucky enough to run into a serial killer, and then get a promotion and raise his salary to reach the top of his life.

Of course, Luo Jianzhou only felt ridiculous about this.

But he also knew that if he was recognized by reporters, it would not look good.

- It's not a problem to run to see the opposite movie, but when a reporter finds out, that's what it's called a problem.

Not to mention anything else, if the reporter advertised that he was "conquered" by this movie, Wang Wei would definitely be happy.

At least if you swap positions, Luo Jianzhou will laugh off his big teeth.

You know, he's not idle right now.

His new film is aimed at the summer season in July, and he is now busy with post-production!

However, a restricted-level movie that blocks the most willing to buy tickets to watch movies from the teenager group can actually hit a single-day box office of nearly 100 million in the popular schedule surrounded by strong enemies?

This made him really curious about the movie.

And when its popularity spread overseas and was considered to be a work destined to break records, Luo Jianzhou finally couldn't hold back and wanted to run to see what kind of movie this was; And then there's the question that everyone is curious about - why does it attract criminals to turn themselves in?

At about the same time, in a movie theater in the capital, another famous cutting-edge director, Song Zhicheng, also joined the flow of people alone and walked into the screening room of "The Silence of the Lambs".

Originally, he was also busy shooting his new film, but at this time, he was also shocked by the overwhelming news of Wang Wei's movie, so he took time out and decided to go to the cinema to see this movie in person.

In fact, his psychology is also roughly similar to Luo Jianzhou.

To tell the truth, everyone is making movies, and they can be regarded as cutting-edge directors of the same name; You can't say who is worse than whom, but you have to say that you are so good that you are famous at home and abroad...... Only...... Not really, right?

Why?

Not convinced!

Then go check it out.

And this time I went to see it, almost with a magnifying glass.

Is it hype?

Otherwise, why would it be so popular?

It's nothing in the media to talk about it, but after reading it, I have my own judgment in my heart.

Ten minutes later, two theaters thousands of miles apart officially screened "The Silence of the Lambs".

……

At the beginning, the heroine appeared, looking at Luo Jianzhou on the big screen with extremely focused eyes, and licked the goddess first as usual-

"Oh, Senior Sister Shen has reshaped my impression again, this image ...... In appearance, she is a very weak woman, but her personality is tough and strong, and I also like this type of girl! ”

But soon, Luo Jianzhou's brows furrowed tightly.

He has always felt that Wang Wei and he are the same kind of directors - neither of them makes films that don't make money.

A movie that can make money is a good movie; Making (watching) a movie is also a commercial one.

In this analysis, Luo Jianzhou found that the other party's ability to make commercial films is indeed not weak.

Well, it should be said that it is very strong.

Commercial films don't need too many gorgeous or fancy techniques, on the contrary, real commercial film masters are good at using the simplest techniques to make the audience "cool" from beginning to end.

Of course, in a thriller, the "cool point" is a sense of horror.

With Luo Jianzhou's level, of course, it can be seen that the horror of "The Silence of the Lambs" is mostly through camera movement and editing, throwing the audience into the world of the story, which is not only unforgettable, but also difficult to sit on the edge when watching the movie.

And the main thing is the simple use of close-ups.

Usually in a play, in order to separate the audience from the work, the actors will avoid looking directly at the camera, presenting the feeling that this is an alternate world and story.

But in this movie, Wang Wei makes a lot of close-ups, allowing the characters to look directly at the audience, so that the audience has a sense of being violated by prying eyes inside, especially when the picture cuts to a close-up of Hannibal-

Although you know that he is talking to the heroine, it seems that he is eating away at your thoughts.

Of course, this is inseparable from the superb acting skills of the actors; But it also shows that Wang Wei, the director, knows how to best "serve this dish".

What's more, simple techniques can present exquisite effects, and he is not unskilled in showing off the "tricks".

In general, commercial films will arrange a cliché and sensory "Armageddon" at the end.

"The Silence of the Lambs" has not been able to get rid of the final "Armageddon", but Wang Wei has not done it at all vulgar-

Before the climax scene, this guy cleverly used a set of parallel editing shots to make the target of the police search in droves empty, but the heroine inadvertently came to the real murderer's residence alone, playing with the audience in the palm of her hand, making their emotions like a roller coaster.

It can be said that this paragraph alone is different from the cliché suspense films Luo Jianzhou has seen before - this movie breaks quite a lot of conventions.

Well, it should be said that Wang Wei has always liked to break the rules when making movies.

The final decisive scene was not pulled across.

The most suffocating thing is that the killer butcher cuts off the electricity in his home, and the house is completely dark in an instant.

At this time, Wang Wei ingeniously switched the camera to the first-person vision of the murderer wearing night vision goggles, allowing the audience to see the heroine in the dark groping around in horror, and all they heard was the heroine's rapid breathing.

Clever, clever!

Luo Jianzhou sighed silently.

- At this time, the audience is standing from the perspective of the hunter, but the emotions in their hearts are attached to the heroine, that is, the prey, and this contrast forms the most powerful pressure.

In terms of business methods, at least as far as this movie is concerned, Wang Wei is already a master among masters!

So much so that when the movie finally ended, Luo Jianzhou, who subconsciously gave this conclusion, sat on the chair in a daze, and couldn't help thinking: "No wonder it can sell well!" ”

"Focusing on the composite genre of suspense, thriller, and detective, supplemented by symbols such as fiction and reality, anti-routine, and parallel editing, this guy's control of rhythm and psychology is simply playful, and the audience is always in a position of being teased and oppressed by suspense, without respite."

"The first time I made a thriller, I was able to make it like this, it's fucking terrifying!"

However, there is still one problem that has not been solved -

The commercial success of this film will not be low, I admit it; But why is it a "fatal" attraction to criminals?

Probably luck.

Luo Jianzhou thought of the first duel with Wang Wei, and the other party's strong luck that made him scold his mother!

Then, he wanted to scold his mother even more-

Could it be that this guy is really an illegitimate child?

……

On the other hand, Song Zhicheng was also extremely surprised in his heart!

Although he has no artistic pursuits, he insists that his films must make certain concessions to commercialization; But unlike Luo Jianzhou, he judges a movie and prefers to start with artistry.

As a result, he was shocked to find that even if he came with the mentality of looking for faults, he had to admit one thing - thrillers can really be made artistically!

"The Silence of the Lambs" has created two wonderful characters: one is a cold-blooded, high-IQ ogre, and the other is a smart, witty, brave and beautiful rookie policewoman; This is naturally inseparable from the wonderful performances of the two leading actors.

Shen Zhenyi, a supernova, once again conquered Song Zhicheng with her acting skills.

Compared with her, who had long been expecting, Song Zhicheng was even more amazed by Ouyang Ke's performance.

- It's just explosive acting!

He noticed that in the whole movie, Ouyang Ke didn't have much body language, just standing or sitting in a small space, but the fullness of the character he presented made Song Zhicheng breathtaking.

The protagonists of the two chess opponents' acting skills, the fourth meeting, the dialogue across the iron cage is Song Zhicheng's favorite part of the whole film, the delicate performance, coupled with the highly symbolic dialogue, this rivalry is simply amazing!

If a movie becomes a classic because of the charm of an actor, Song Zhicheng thinks that actors who can achieve such an effect are rare.

And this movie appeared, and as soon as it appeared, it was two!

For a director like him, who prides himself on being able to train actors, he can't help but ask himself when he sees the joy of hunting-can I train the actors' performances to this extent?

Song Zhicheng is confident that he will definitely be able to one day, but at the moment, this seems to be a less certain answer.

But Wang Wei did it!

Recalling his previous sarcasm about the other party's "burying a good actor", this movie seems to slap himself hard!

Mood...... Somewhat somber.

Face...... It hurts a little.

In addition to the dazzling acting skills of the actors, the theme of this movie rarely stimulates Song Zhicheng's desire to interpret.

This movie, as long as it is analyzed in depth, will be linked to human nature!

This is what sets this movie apart from other mediocre thriller movies with a murder theme.

- The latter usually takes the brutal and bloody images as the main course of the film, while for "The Silence of the Lambs", these are just appetizers, and the real main course is the film's in-depth discussion and critique of human nature and social system.

The superficial horror can only be temporarily frightening; And the horror of human nature and the system will become more and more frightening as people think more and more.

Therefore, like Luo Jianzhou, after the movie, when many viewers left their seats while discussing the plot excitedly, Song Zhicheng still sat there steadily, and after being silent for a long time, he sighed helplessly.

- This is undoubtedly a work that stands up to criticism, both commercially and artistically!

In other words, people's current momentum is not for nothing.

Of course, the same is true of the problem of not understanding -

The perfect balance between business and art, and the box office reputation exploded, which he understands; But to attract serial killers to throw themselves into the net?

As for it?

If it's luck, Wang Wei's luck is too scary, right?

……

With the same or different thoughts, almost at the same time, the two cutting-edge directors got up and walked out slowly, stopping almost at the same time.

Coincidentally, in front of the large electronic screen in their theater, Wang Wei's interview in response to the controversy caused by "The Silence of the Lambs" was played-

“…… Don't talk nonsense, where am I good at making thriller movies! ”

"Good performance? I was just lucky to meet two good actors, Xiaozhen and Teacher Ouyang, and they met and became a masterpiece. Otherwise, I'm a little director who will only delay talented actors, where will I train my acting skills? ”

Song Zhicheng, who was dissed, turned black.

"Good grades? It's all the blessing of the serial killer who turned himself in, where will I make any commercial movies? ”

Luo Jianzhou's lips pursed tightly, and he felt that the villain's ambition was nothing more than this.

"Why did the killer turn himself in? What contagiousness, what magic, I tell you, is fake......"

Wang Wei's expression on the screen seemed to be a little helpless, and he didn't speak for a while.

The reporter held his breath, and the audience in front of the screen also held their breath, as if waiting for him to tell the shocking truth.

Finally, Wang Wei, who had a serious face, spoke: "Good luck, do you understand?" Yes, luck! ”

"Why am I the only one who is lucky? It's very simple, who doesn't know that Lady Luck is a woman, of course she especially cares about handsome people, and I, who have been handsome since I was a child! ”

“……”

Visible to the naked eye, the lens shook, probably because the photographer was broken by the shamelessness of this guy.

Whether it's Luo Jianzhou or Song Zhicheng, although they also think that luck is the majority, but the same words come out of this guy's mouth, but they just want them to vomit blood!

They, as well as the other viewers in front of the screen, only had the same thought at this time - why didn't a serial killer come and hack this girl to death with a knife?

……

Continue to code words.,It should be put tomorrow.,Don't wait~~~.
