0458 More Arrogant Than Jielun (Happy New Year)
As the movie began to gradually come to an end, Hao Yun also evaluated the movie in his heart, or compared it with "Those Years".
It's not that he is competitive, or wants to be more arrogant than Jay Chou.
Well, there's a bit of a loss of that aspect.
Although Hao Yun is a little abnormal, he is only a twenty-three-year-old young man after all, as if he has lost his competitive spirit, so he will not enter the old age life in advance.
The film scene of "Initial D" can be said to be very beautifully handled.
Including the hidden tofu shop, the gas station after the rain, and the quiet mountain road.
In particular, at the beginning of the movie, AE86 is given an ultra-long shot after descending the mountain, and under the conflict between human products and natural scenery, the morning sun and the wheat field set off a unique flavor.
Since this movie has a lot of night scenes, after all, drag racing, stopping cars and closing roads are not above board.
But there is indeed a sense of solitude to see a bunch of headlights winding through the mountains.
Hao Yunde admitted that he was indeed inferior to Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhao in these aspects, after all, he was a veteran director of Xiangjiang, and he had always been the object of his learning.
There are also some details of the processing, which is also very feeling.
Using a lot of anime shooting techniques, the camera enters through the rear window and continues forward to see the entire cab while speeding around, and then exits through the front window. It's very innovative and has a great sense of urgency.
And Hao Yun is probably very simple tiling, at most occasionally grasping some emotional pictures.
Hao Yun did not pursue the beauty of the lens, and the photographer of "Those Years" was not a powerful photographer, and he was not even as good as his assistant director Cao Yu.
"Initial D" not only has a good car, but also a good song, Jay Chou sang two songs for this movie, "Drifting" and "All the Way North".
Like "Those Years", these two songs are also very appropriate.
But!
Hao Yun doesn't think that the box office of "Initial D" can surpass "Those Years".
The reasons are manifold.
One is the plot.
The little people at the bottom of society, the simple equipment, and a touching and inspirational counterattack, such stories satisfy the fantasies of most ordinary people and resonate.
It's just that due to the subject matter, length and other reasons, the plot of this movie is excessively blunt and the coherence is particularly unnatural.
There seem to be a lot of storylines that the movie wants to show, but the duration is limited, so you can only abandon a lot of foreshadowing and transitions.
It rushes through the story, lacking the necessary details to fill in.
This phenomenon even exists in the Infernal Affairs series of Liu Weiqiang and Mak Recall, and also exists in the works of many Hong Kong film directors.
The other is the actors.
Hao Yun thinks that Jay Chou, the worst acting actor, is surprisingly good.
Maybe it's because of the jerky acting skills that he really plays the stupidity of first love vividly. Especially the floating demeanor when I was thinking about it and the crying that accompanied "All the Way North".
It's just from the director's point of view, "Initial D" invited so many well-known actors, but there was no stage for them to show their acting skills, and all of them were only limited to symbols.
Hao Yun invited Uncle Ge and Jiang Wen, although it was a cameo, but they gave them room to play.
Especially Jiang Wen, whenever the movie theater shows him and Hao using English to "communicate amicably", there will be a burst of laughter.
Then there is the emotional drama.
Natsuki Moteki, played by Anko Suzuki, is a typical neon chick with short legs, round face, and big eyes. It was very pitiful to watch.
But she's also an out-and-out old fritter.
It can be seen from the first kiss of the male protagonist of the strategy that this is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.
Typical red face and trouble, coupled with the setting of "aid deal", which is very local.
It will inevitably remind people of the sentence "Natsuki, uncle is going to **!" ”
Jay Chou and her are not in the same dimension.
On one side is the inspirational story of an ordinary kid with great talent and defeat of a professional driver.
On the other hand, there are poems and distances in life, but there is no lack of reluctance in front of you - what Xia Shu has experienced is the real life, and no matter how fast 86 is, it can't catch up with you in a Mercedes.
The career line and the emotional line are taken out separately, and there is no problem on both sides.
But if you put a piece of it, it feels like a serious problem.
The movie is very fragmented, and the audience's feelings are also fragmented.
will even have a sense of resentment towards the movie, what you told me is obviously a fairy tale, why is there a "year-end bonus" in it.
In the end, Takumi turned around and ran away, Natsuki knelt on the ground and cried, and "All the Way North" sounded, and the audience knew that their youth was over.
is also a not so happy ending, but "Those Years" is much friendlier.
Finally, in terms of subject matter, "Those Years" is youth, "Initial D" is racing, and the audience must be "Those Years" is more extensive.
If judged by Hao Yun's professional eyes, the box office of "Initial D" may be good, but it is definitely not as good as "Those Years".
If it is compared, it can only show that the hard injuries in the plot and emotional drama have been flattened by Jay Chou.
can only show that Jay Chou is very arrogant.
Far more arrogant than him!
Of course, after the premiere, the audience was greeted with warm applause.
Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi are no exception.
It's just that the two of them didn't communicate any way from the time the lights were turned on until the end of the movie and the guests left.
The media was inevitably very disappointed.
There are some regrets.
Is such a pair that everyone is optimistic about, but also succumb to the strength of reality?
You don't really suspect she's a shapeshifter.
If you don't give it a try, how will you know if she's a shapeshifter?
Hao Yun didn't wait for Zhou Jielun and Chen Guanxi, they had other things, and Hao Yun went back directly.
This time, he took the time to rush back during the intense filming, which was already very face-saving for his brother.
After getting in the car, Hao Yun found An Xiaoxi sitting in the back of the car.
Good guys, you're really not afraid of being discovered.
"Do we look like joints in spy movies?" An Xiaoxi seems to feel quite exciting, she and Hao Yun were classmates before, and they almost never avoided each other, and they were never photographed.
Although the media has no discipline, there are still some bottom lines.
She was a minor after all.
In the past six months, seeing that she is about to become an adult, and the news has exploded one after another, reporters have stared at her.
"You, forget it." Hao Yun shook his head.
People like you act in spy movies, I'm afraid you won't even be able to survive the beginning.
"Hmph~" An Xiaoxi was not convinced, but she was thinking about something else.
"What are you doing here, it's not just for the thrill." Hao Yun turned up the temperature in the car by two degrees.
By the way, turn down the music in the car as well.
The wind on the riverside blows recklessly and desperately / stirs away people's tears for no reason......
At this time, the music in the car was playing a song from Xiao Gang's new album "Legend Under the Stars" created for Zhou Chuanxiong - "Lonely Sandbar Cold".
The title of this song is taken from Su Shi's song "Fortune Operator", picking up all the cold branches and refusing to live, and the lonely sandbar is cold.
"That's right, Li Chen found me over there, and it seems that he wants me to play the heroine of his new movie......" The car slowly drove out of the underground garage and merged into the busy traffic at night, An Xiaoxi's voice drifted in the car with a unique sweetness.
"Li Chen!" Hao Yun did not hide his surprise at all.
Li Chen of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
Li Chen's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" released in 2000 has so far been the box office ceiling of Chinese-language films, with a total global box office of $216 million.
When everyone is still chasing the 100 million yuan club director, this is already on the order of one billion.
He and An Xiaoxi became popular in "Those Years", which is bound to bring a lot of changes.
It is expected that a lot of scripts will be found, and this month, Hao Yun has received at least three times more scripts than before, not only asking him to play the male lead, but also asking him to direct.
The "New Shanghai Beach" that had looked for An Xiaoxi before also looked for him.
It's just that I didn't expect An Xiaoxi to receive Li Chen's invitation, and the span is too big.
