Chapter 265: Insider's Doorway
Monday, the premiere.
"Wushuang" has capital co-investment from both sides of the mainland and Xiangjiang, so the film critics on the scene are from both sides of the strait.
Looking at the surrounding circle of reporters with long guns and short cannons, the blue identity badge hanging on the chest reflects the source, including Guangming Daily, Youth Daily, South China Morning Post, and Ming Pao.
"Why did you bring him here?" Ye Jianxuan frowned.
"Who?" Huang Baiyou followed his gaze, and several film critics gathered in a small group, talking and laughing.
Small groups have yellow-eyed familiar, name-calling kinds.
"A nasty film critic." Ye Jianxuan's words were referring to the short middle-aged man in the small group.
He is a Ming Pao columnist, traveler and film critic.
The identity of the film critic in the trial is well-known to the public, and he has emerged with a fierce criticism of Ye Jianxuan, "You have great personal charm, but you don't need to show off with a peacock, everyone who plays is Ye Jianxuan" is also from the mouth of the judge.
Compared with the invitation lineup for the premiere of "Detective", "Wushuang" is much more atmospheric in all aspects, and there are more publicity funds.
"Don't be crazy like a detective, I hope to shoot some normal episodes." Film critic Leon said.
"My hope is different from yours, I hope Ye Jianxuan will open the screen less and make a performance that conforms to the script." It is easy to say in the trial.
But no one will take the following words, firstly, they don't want to spray Ye Jianxuan to get traffic, and secondly, Ye Jiexuan is known as the god of acting in Xiangjiang, and his acting skills are recognized by the vast majority of people in the mainland.
"Ahem, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it later." Some film critics skipped the topic.
Can't wait.
Whether it is the main creative team, or the guests on the spot, or the friends.
Then let's not talk nonsense, skip the boring reporter's questions, and go straight to the feature film.
The story begins with Li Wen, played by Huang Baiyou, who makes fake stamps in a Thai prison.
explained the scene in a few shots, if you want to send a letter, you need to give the prison guard enough benefits, and the character played by Huang Baiyou has no money.
"Oh? Give the panorama, not a stand-in? Film critic Zhang Zhigao was surprised to find.
Usually this kind of shot will only give a close-up of the hand. In the words of high emotional intelligence, it is to let the audience see clearly.
But among the film critics present, who doesn't know the low EQ claim?
I asked for a stand-in.
As soon as this shot came out, it was obvious that the actor himself used a fish bone to copy it.
"I heard that Huang Baiyou will learn the knowledge required for filming in advance, such as filming Nanhai Shisanlang to learn Cantonese opera." Film critic She Jun said, "Now it seems that it is obvious that I am learning to paint for the sake of filming. ”
Zhang Zhigao couldn't help nodding, what is the template of a professional actor, this Nima is! All the actors are on par with Huang Baiyou.
Zhou Beihong is capable, and he explained the beginning and end of the matter by dividing five by two.
The movie advances through Li Wen's flashback, and the counterfeit money criminal painter wanted by the police also has to interrogate Li Wen to find out.
Ruan Wenyu was very sad when she learned that her boyfriend started to make fake paintings, and said that she couldn't accept it, so she put one of Li Wen's paintings on top of her art exhibition.
"Whether it's true or fake, the fact that the rest can't be sold is the best proof." Huang Baiyou walked slowly into the gallery, his steps slow and unsteady.
"I'm quitting." Huang Baiyou said softly. It's very light, as if there is a dandelion in front of the mouth, and a little bit of force will blow the dandelion away.
"Why are you not doing this? Are you going to go back and paint fake paintings? Girlfriend Nguyen Van Ngoc felt devastated.
Seeing this scene, the film critics present secretly screamed in their hearts that it was bad, because Chang Shudi didn't catch it.
In fact, here is the best clip of Chang Shudi in filming.
Huang Baiyou smiled, his smile was not bitter, nor was he helpless, as if he had really heard a big joke.
Isn't that a joke? Li Wen, who cares about his reputation, has now completely given up painting and has embarked on the road of making fake paintings.
took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one and put it in his mouth, his smile seemed to tell Chang Shudi, telling the audience-
"Laugh, why not? Is the joke not funny? ”
"I'm sorry, I ......" Ruan Wenyu, played by Chang Shudi, realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately apologized, but looking at Li Wen's expression, he couldn't say anything about the follow-up.
Li Wen, played by Huang Baiyou, has a detail here, he takes out a lighter, lights his painting first, and then lights a cigarette.
It seems to be - accompany one, pay tribute to the days of practicing painting.
"This performance is layered, there is nothing unexpected about the performance, but it is just a good performance!" A director guest at the scene said.
The director is Tong Qu, who has worked with him.
"Solid acting skills, especially when he looked at the burned painting at the end, as if he had burned it with his own hands, it was too good." Another actor commented.
The actor is a first-line actor who has never worked with Huang.
The layman looks at the bustle, the insider looks at the doorway, and the current situation is like this.
Chang Shudi's acting skills are not bad, and he definitely has an upper middle level, but there is still a certain gap compared to Huang Baiyou.
Li asked that this character is cowardly and timid, Huang Baiyou will not change the script or anything just because he wants to make his character likable.
In fact, cowardice and timidity are not something that exists in most people's hearts?
Huang Baiyou performed the reason for the character's cowardice, and also performed the character's self-destructive remorse.
The emotions are very full and progressive.
At the end of the film, the critics stood up and applauded.
…………
"It's time for the Wheel of Good Luck to be on me." Zhou Beihong said.
The film and television drama market is really not a stage where you can have good results if you shoot well. Whether the grades are good or not depends on fate, Zhou Beihong thinks so in his heart.
Zhou Beihong thinks he has caught the version of the answer.
"Brother Ye, do you have confidence in the movie?" Zhou Beihong asked Ye Jianxuan next to him.
"Aren't you full of confidence in answering reporters' questions at the press conference?" Director Ye Jianxuan learned the tone of his speech at the press conference three hours ago.
Xuedao: "I am confident in the quality of the film and have set a small goal - one billion box office. ”
"Having confidence and playing the drum in my heart, I don't think there is a conflict at all." Zhou Beihong said, "My confidence comes from the fact that I have mastered the mainland's version of the answer. ”
The mainland version of the answer won't be Huang Baiyou, right? Ye Jianxuan looked at Zhou Beihong.
"Everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone. Every few years in the mainland, there will be this kind of combination of luck and luck, the last one is Yuan Xiangshi, from 2018 to 2022, Yuan Xiangshi is also what to shoot and what to earn. ”
The meaning of Zhou Beihong's words is that Huang Baiyou is the next successor of Yuan Xiangshi.
"However, Huang is still a little worse than Yuan, and the average box office of Yuan Xiangshi at his peak was one billion." Zhou Beihong said, "Yuan Xiangshi is a big luck, and Huang Baiyou is a small luck." ”
"If you say so, there is a small problem, Yuan Xiangshi only has one Golden Rooster actor, and Bai You is far ahead in terms of performance awards."
Ye Jianxuan doesn't like to listen to any fate and luck, and it is clearly obtained by his own efforts.
"Not only is the Golden Rooster actor, but there are a bunch of actors in foreign film festivals, not to mention that he is also the youngest TV emperor in the mainland."
"You make sense to say this, it proves that Huang Baiyou is also a big luck, but he is lucky in the awards, "Detective" was also nominated by the Golden Statue and the Golden Horse, and there is a great chance." Zhou Beihong was woken up, and felt that the more he said, the more reasonable it became.
It makes sense that the movies starring Yuan Xiangshi are mainly commercial films, while Huang Baiyou's direction is drama films and reality films.
"Brother Ye, don't believe it, we still have to believe in these things when we make movies." Zhou Beihong said.
When you believe in something that you believe in and your friends don't, you get very excited.
Zhou Beihong continued: "There is a limit to the luck that a person can gather, and there must be a focus, otherwise if you let Huang Baiyou and Yuan Xiangshi swap places, the two will not be able to reach each other's height." ”
"Yuan Xiangshi will definitely not be able to win so many acting awards, he is a mediocre performer, but if Huang Baiyou receives more commercial films, I think he can also reach this height." Ye Jianxuan said.
The mediocre performer, Zhou Beihong was speechless when he heard this title, he was speechless in his heart, it is worthy of you, and his vision is really high.
From the conversation between the two, it was learned that the reporter topic that was omitted from the premiere was relatively smooth, and there were no reporters to make trouble.
Anyway, it's today's premiere, tonight's zero o'clock venue, "Wushuang" officially meets the audience!
["Doing everything to the best is art."] ”
"There is only one Li Wen in this world, you have your own value!"
"Do you know that men who can do great things are all for women, and men who give up love can't do anything."
…… ]
Let's take a look at the reaction after the zero o'clock scene, most of these messages are two or three o'clock, and the whole movie is two hours, which is very reasonable.
Venina: "Kudos to the screenwriter, kudos to the director, kudos to the actors, carefully wrote such a wonderful scam for us fans." (Rated 5 stars)
Xiaobai elder: "The first half was a little crotch-pulling, but the second half reversed, unexpectedly, very good." (Rated 4 stars)
Starship, LVE: "This is what a Hong Kong film should look like, the previous detective, I can't understand it in the clouds." But...... Both movies are starring Bai Di, what is the situation, has Bai Di become a professional in Hong Kong films? (4.5 stars)
sztd: "The gunfight scene in the middle is a bit forced, and the rest are five-star. (Rated 3 stars)
The swaying mouse: "It turns out that from the beginning, the title of the film was clearly named, Wushuang - there is no second person." (Rated 5 stars)
……
Most of the praises are praised, and Douban has a score of 7.8, which has room to rise.
Chu Yuan, the director of Daydream Studio, is staring at the reputation of "Wushuang" during both working hours and rest time.
So even in the middle of the night, she didn't sleep, and even the navy was ready.
"The trend is good, great." Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yuan, the champion who stayed up late, fell asleep at five o'clock, and the next day, the film critic's online evaluation was also released, and Chu Yuan still paid attention to the whole process.
Nowadays, there are fewer people who read movie reviews, and unless the audience doesn't understand a certain movie, most people rarely take the initiative to search for movie reviews.
But film reviews played a great role in the early Internet dissemination, so Chu Yuan watched every film critic invited to the premiere.
Xiangjiang and the mainland, there are more than 40 points, it is impossible to write them all down, so you can only pick two that Chu Yuan is interested in.
["Wushuang" is bathed in rough, desaturated browns and grays, allowing the picture to always maintain a tense brewing, which is Zhou Beihong's usual style.]
Based on the wonderful two-hero drama of Huang Baiyou and Ye Jianxuan, the next big net is cleverly arranged.
With the funding of Jinyi Film and Television Group, it has ensured that any vague moral shortcomings in the crime theme in Hong Kong films have long been obscured, and the criminal must die or be punished is the minimum requirement.
Similarly, the rhythm of the script is flawed, although there are dissonances in the flashbacks, which make the foreplay where the painter appears chaotic for a few minutes, and the first act seems too boring.
But when Li Wen enters the counterfeit money group, the plot enters the second act, and the rhythm is rediscovered, in which the climax of "Wushuang" is the highway ink robbery, cowardly and unscrupulous, crazy and conservative......
Instead of going more spoiler, "Mushuang" should have had a tighter narrative and sharper characterization, but it undermined the character of an ambitious crime thriller.
Its fun lies in the novelty, creativity and engagingness, as well as the wonderful play between Ye Jianxuan and Huang Baiyou, the collision between the older generation of Xiangjiang and the strongest of the new generation in the mainland, and the historic cooperation. ]
Looking at the content of this film review and praising Ye Jianxuan, I knew that it was definitely not written by the Xiangjiang film critic Zhongyi.
It's really not, the signature is written by film critic She Jun, posted on Youth Online, and the title is "Wushuang! The most wonderful collision of the old and new generations"
The taste of film critics is strange, especially when people have preconceived ideas, yes, it is easy to judge.
Lo and behold, the film review begins with scolding.
[As a Hong Kong-style thriller, "Wushuang" is not that satisfying.]
Its non-linear structure – most of the film is a long flashback.
As Huang Baiyou's character confessed to the police – it's fascinating, but when we realize that these flashbacks are unreliable......
While this elevates the film's core reflection on the "cost of forgery", the structure also makes the final volume's major twist particularly unremarkable.
A plot twist is only really effective when the viewer is in some way deceiving themselves, and not when they are simply deceived.
Amplifying these shortcomings is the brilliance of Yip, whose character is both gentlemanly and elusive, and the film serves fans, with a glimpse in the trailer where he lights a cigarette with counterfeit banknotes.
Ye Jianxuan and the wonderful role he once played are very exciting, but this is not enough to hide the fact that Ye Jianxuan played another role as Ye Jianxuan.
But the painter is a very ambiguous and unusually cruel person, perhaps the darkest role he has ever played, Ye Jianxuan is unbearable acting skills, I only see unqualified actors who exude charm on the stage.
Like Punch from Bad Joker. ]
didn't scold directly, after all, literati kill people with pens, and direct swear words or anything are not authentic.
During the trial, Yi was justified in the loss of Ye Jianxuan, and even used Punch to describe Ye Jianxuan at the end, Punch is a clown image often seen in British dramas.
However, during the review, Yi still praised the whole movie, because "Wushuang" does have something remarkable.
[The Li Wen that Huang Baiyou receives is a more thankless character, Li Wen and the painter are yin and yang, a confident hooligan and a principled coward, and it is a pleasure to watch them interact.]
And it was Huang Baiyou who made this fun develop, because he managed to make unlikable characters resonate.
As he smoked a cigarette and watched his painting burned, I instantly remembered that losing a soccer ball and giving up something I had loved and insisted on for a long time would always hurt the person the most.
Long story short: "Wushuang" is a spectacular, often engaging crime thriller that isn't as clever as it could be, but driven by Huang Baiyou's calm and solid acting, the whole film is worth watching. ]
This comment is to step on Ye Jianxuan, and then praise Huang Baiyou.
Regardless of whether the goods in the trial are sincere or not, they have brought trouble to Huang Baiyou.
It's hard to write a movie review Actually, it's easy to get tired of just praising "the movie is good-looking and wonderful", so I'll check the reviews of various realistic film critics and adapt it, hoping to have a more sense of substitution.
