Chapter 154: Cold Movie
"The Sky of Bad Boys" is a good shot, but it is indeed a mourning movie, the kind of mourning, a feeling that there is no hope in life.
Although the theme is similar to Lao Jiang's "Sunny Day", revealing the pain of growing up, it obviously does not have that bloody impulse, coupled with the unique cold color of Japanese movies, it makes people's hearts sink all the time.
Japan in the 90s was indeed very sad, the economic bubble burst, the stock market and the housing market fell into a mess, and there was no sign of recovery after a few years.
Of course, Takeshi Kitano's sense of smell is fine, and the filming of the funeral movie caters to the public's mood, but he obviously didn't find the right way.
In fact, "Moving Labyrinth" is also a mourning movie, the three groups of people are enclosed in a space to chase each other for fun, and they are also poured blood mold, but they have been fighting and resisting, although they are unyielding out of necessity, but they hide their frustration well.
"The Sky of Bad Boys" has a lying flat posture, clearly telling everyone that the trajectory of life is set early in the morning and cannot be broken free, hoping that this kind of thing is deceptive and meaningless.
Bad boys don't have a sky, only a ceiling.
I have to say that this Chinese translation is very literary and profound, better than the original.
Japanese movie tickets are among the most expensive in the world, and it's obviously not okay to spend money to show them to others.
The sense of mourning throughout the 90s is not unique to Japan, otherwise Huanhuan would not have to sing "Start Again", but life can only go on and cannot be repeated, unless everyone is collectively reborn.
At the beginning of Su Changqing's creation of "Moving Labyrinth", he also had the meaning of catering to the mood of the times.
"Battle Royale" is also very sad, a class of middle school students, just because they don't have enough respect for authority, they are forced to kill each other, and they have no autonomy at all, the film is full of metaphors and exciting enough to become a representative of genre films, but it is not recognized by mainstream society.
While Su Changqing borrowed its core, he also referred to "Attack on Titan" more in terms of spiritual realm.
In Attack on Titan, humans are attacked by a sudden man-eating giant, and they have to build a high wall to isolate themselves from the outside world, and then constantly send warriors to investigate and confront the giants.
is also trapped in a city, and faces huge threats inside and outside, "Moving Labyrinth" and "Attack on Titan" finally chose to unite and fight against each other, inspiring the audience with bloody battles.
People go into the cinema to seek comfort, either to provide love tease hormones, or to provide blood to stimulate the adrenal glands, pouring cold water on their heads and not having good fruit to eat, even if they reveal the truth out of good intentions, this kind of movie has a reputation among literary and artistic youth, but has no market among ordinary audiences.
Su Changqing had a guess that Takeshi Kitano saw that the core of "Moving Labyrinth" and "Bad Boy's Sky" were both sad, but the way to deal with it was the opposite, and his so-called bet was to see which option was more acceptable to the market.
There are many so-called movies against adversity, and there are even more bloody ones, but Kitano Takeshi feels that Su Changqing is similar to him in style and level, and it is more contrasting.
Halfway through the movie, Nobuko Maeda whispered in Su Changqing's ear: "This movie by Kitano's predecessors is too cold, and I am afraid it will not be able to compete with us at the box office." ”
Bland, light, cold, you can use any word, why use cold?
Takeshi Kitano's movie is indeed cold, Nobuko Maeda is obviously not cold, and has been holding Su Changqing's hand for almost an hour.
This made Su Changqing very uneasy, hormones and adrenal hormones soared alternately, and he kept wondering: "Will there be sequelae in Japanese girls?"
As a man, being held by a girl is a bit intimidating, should I go further, such as hugging?
Otherwise, it will seem disrespectful.
The relevant departments have repeatedly reminded that every citizen who goes abroad represents the image of the country, and it is too passive, right?
However, however.
During the post-production of "Moving Labyrinth", both of them were in Beiying with "My Love from the Stars", Mu Mu went to visit the class more than once, and Nobuko Maeda should have seen that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and it seemed a bit too much to hook up so blatantly.
In the end, Su Changqing decided to stop in moderation, it was boring to climb up the pole handed by others, I came to work today, don't deviate from the purpose.
Showing that you are not messing up is the demeanor of a great country, and now you are hugging it, what is the next movie for?
But apart from the attendance rate and the content of the film, I really can't see anything else in the theater.
The Japanese are still better at complying with what is explicitly prohibited, and no one in the theater speaks to comment.
When the movie ended, it could be seen from the audience's expressions that the film did not satisfy everyone.
In the eighties and nineties there were many jokes about peasants going to the city, and one of them was very popular in film schools.
It is said that an old farmer couldn't find a pit in a hurry after entering the city, and when he passed by the movie theater, he asked the ticket seller: "Do you have a pit here?"
The ticket seller said yes, but you have to buy a ticket to get in.
The old farmer knew that there was a fee for in the city, so he spent five cents to buy a ticket.
At that time, the classmates were heartbroken: "Watching a movie is the same price as, and Chinese movies are hopeless." ”
The old farmer had heard that was sitting in the city, so he found a place to sit down.
But seeing that everyone didn't move, he didn't dare to move first, and asked the next door: "When will it start?"
The one next door told him, "It starts when the lights get dark." ”
Then the lights went dark.
The point of this story is that when the lights in the theater are on, if the audience's expressions are as if they have just been pulled clean, then the movie is a success.
Su Changqing looked at everyone's expressions, obviously didn't pull it out.
Walking out of the screening room, someone finally complained: "Watching this movie is like just entering college, and someone told me that it was impossible to graduate." ”
Nobuko Maeda asked Su Changqing: "Is it necessary to watch our movies again?"
It's only early ten o'clock now, so if you don't watch a movie, will you fool around?
Su Changqing doesn't want to be hooked up with him, as a director, he should know how to control the rhythm, and if the story progresses too fast, it usually ends boring.
Besides, it's just a hand-holding, and there is a precedent for not doing well after holding hands with him, don't get excited.
Although I didn't hear many comments, it was enough to see the audience's reaction, and the two bought tickets to enter again.
The style of the film is completely different, the audience's response is obviously more enthusiastic, and the so-called silence quickly becomes useless.
Soon after the story unfolded, when it was announced that only half of the team would leave alive due to the iron laws in the labyrinth, the audience let out a Japanese exclamation: "Oh?! What is this going on?!"
"Who is encouraging these people to kill each other, is it legal to do so, it's unlikely?!"
"It's acting in the movies, fool. ”
"Damn, Chinese directors will definitely cheat and let them win big. ”
The people of the three countries originally got together to discuss how to get out of trouble, but after the rules were announced, everyone woke up from the shock and began to retreat and stand on guard.
At this moment, a cold arrow flew out of nowhere and pierced the neck of a South Korean.
"Goo!"
Blood splattered.
All the audience exclaimed.
"Pervert, scare me!"
