Chapter 1110: Does the movie need a lot of metaphors?
Meng Qingzhou rested at home for a few days, and took the children to swim and play football every day, and he was having fun until he received the invitation from Jiang Wen's new film premiere, and he had to go out;
Jiang Wen's new film "Evil Do Not Suppress Righteousness" chose to be released in prime time during the summer season. Although the entertainment industry has been ups and downs and noisy during this period, it is impossible for the melon-eating crowd to pay attention to these things. Moreover, since "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen's film has great attraction in the hearts of movie fans;
After more than two months, Meng Qingzhou appeared in public again, and rumors have been everywhere in recent days. If the organizer had not strictly guarded the situation, Lao Meng would have never been relaxed;
"What is rumored outside is not true, is Lao Meng?" Jiang Wen, Ge You and Liao Fan asked him to sit down together;
"You don't know these messy things yet. Mr. Ge, you haven't got any cause and effect. If you need help, just come to me."
"Hey, don't mention it, Xiaogang and Huayi are already in a mess. Did you come here if you didn't see me today? You're all thinking about your mistakes in the company!"
Jiang Wen waved his hand and said, "I won't mention that matter today. I guess it has nothing to do with the people here. Even if Lao Meng gave a tip, it's not a big deal. I'm right, haha!"
There were many people coming to the premiere, and the whole family of Lao Meng's family was also dispatched. There is an old saying in the circle: Just watch Feng Dapao's movies, just take it as fun, but Jiang Wen's movies have a very illusion that when he was in elementary school, the teacher made me write a reading review;
Because there are always various metaphors and all kinds of little thoughts hidden in many details of the movie;
Some people make things that require brain supplementation. What does brain supplement mean? That is, they always only act as themselves, and do not have to follow anyone, and they will reveal their strengths and weaknesses. Such people are not going to be defeated, but they will only lose to themselves, and the other things will be defeated by others. This is Jiang Wen. Are you so powerful and so calculating or not? You might as well imagine whether this sentence is also valid for art.
Don’t treat him as a junior director. You are not a good person. At most, you are a persistent player. Otherwise, after watching the roof, hat, train, gun bar hundreds of times... How could you reappear in your fire eyes so many times even though you knew it was impossible?
For example, in "Sunny Days", Ma Xiaojun swayed in the tube building left by the former Soviet Union and then rang out the "Rural Knight Interlude Song". What kind of music would you match with when you filmed it?
Other directors are desperately trying to play a cultural meme, and Jiang Wen’s movie is the meme itself. You might as well think about the roof tiles that are so spacious that you can ride a bicycle. Isn’t the snowy scenery in Beijing the one Liang Sicheng cried and shouted to the “Yanjing” he wanted?
He photographed Lao Yanjing, not, but it was more like his childhood fantasy and thoughts. People always have to have a thought when they are alive, right? Do you have no one if you dare to ask? Swearing to Liang Qichao's kidney, saying that you know shame, have you done it? Have you ever done it before? Have you ever wanted to do it before?
If you want to talk about professionalism, after watching it, you can check the historical scripts of the absurd stories mentioned in the movie?
Jiang Wen's movies are like taking an experimental history lesson every time they are watched. When it is deeply developed, it can also be superficial like a "little girl who can dress up";
Jiang Wen is addicted to drama. He is either filming or acting in public activities facing big guys, and even the gap between creations is not tolerated. So in his stories, he is never stingy to turn himself into that. Which big director in China can link the lives of so many small characters in history without relying on serious lines and preaching, and create a unique sense of absurd balance?
Jiang Wen’s story is his ideal kingdom after he refers to reality. It is his diary and life record. Therefore, there are tributes in this way. You are so disdainful of this. Do you know that the Republicans who love to write diaries he joked about in the movies are Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Shi. Who likes to read diaries? But he is self-deprecating, but he has to feed dumplings and pigs.
Jiang Wen is a detailed control. He is not serious about people. The older he gets, the more crazy he becomes. He is so crazy that he has to both be particular and doubt about this particularity. However, the young man behind this crazy is so stable and reflective. Only those who have accompanied him for the growth and play with him for fifty-four years know: 18, 18, 18, 18, and 18.
But this young man who is not stingy is not always sad. People say that it is easy to be serious and "interesting" in this world, but it is rare to be inappropriate and interesting. Why is it rare? Isn't it because there are only a few who are really willing to make up for it, and the second one is probably not willing to make up for it, let alone let go of everything and know a little about it, let alone have fun with people who can still understand their thoughts?
The bullets will last as long as they fly, and even if they are drunk, they will not feel the dreams of death. Can we stop shooting bullets behind our backs?
Many people yell on the Internet every day. The only function of this thing is to mobilize people's senses and emotions. Even if you can't use it to wash your eyes, you can wash your ears. The OST of a movie is like blood, and it is even outside of the movie. Its importance is no less than the lines. Just this, music is worth it!
People think you are a friend and you have to be a customer. Isn’t this relationship just a matter of dozens of dollars?
"Let the Bullets Fly", "One Step Away", and "Evil Do Not Suppress the Righteousness" are Jiang Wen's Beiyang trilogy, but they all use the past to talk about the present. "If you talk about the Republic of China, then it's okay. Anyway, the Republic of China is all about the past."
"Let the Bullets Fly" basically everyone understands it. It refers to the past era, before liberation to the 76th that was a hot era. The reason why the market response in the trilogy was the most exciting and the subsequent popularity was the most lasting because it talked about the heroic legend of the man, which made people feel happy and even more pleasant than the cool article. Even if the ending leads to parting ways with his former comrades, it is difficult to hide the hero's hero's hero riding a white horse under the sunset to charge towards Huang Silang's soul again.
"One Step Away" talks about the era that followed, the era after GM declared failure, "to be or not to be", survival and destruction, is translated as "this is still so."
In other words, the problems of survival and routes suddenly intertwined here. "Wake up, XXXX", and the sudden emergence of new money wants to become Old money. In the bizarre world of flowers, the open and honest old money will not only be destroyed, but also be splashed with dirty water, and is stigmatized by the actors and kings of the new era, staged a farce of shooting horses and leaving a day.
Many people say that Jiang Wen’s filming is obscure, but Jiang Wen’s name is really not obscure. Ichiro is simply an ambitious wolf. The horse leaves, the horse leaves, and the sun leaves.
It was not because the shooting was obscure, but because the shooting was so obscure, it was because the kings of the kings shot Ma Zuri too deeply in the hearts of the people. People's historical evaluation of that era had been established. Even if they could understand it, the movie was unhappy.
The trilogy was born along the development of a time logic, so the story that "Evil Do Not Suppress Righteousness" is not about going back to talk about GM's method and route, but about the future and talking about the era after "One Step Away": that moment, that moment, just now.
Its theme is to send an anxious urging to the new generation of young people: What are you waiting for?
"Evil does not suppress righteousness" basically describes a near-doomsday future:
The traitor who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors dressed up as a filial son and grandson, cast his master into a harmless statue, and used this statue to establish virtue and authority. In order to let more audiences understand, Jiang Wen even made it so straightforward that the third brother in "Let the Bullets Fly" continued to play the evildoer who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors.
"The master is just scheming. If he is willing to sell the villa to foreigners to grow opium, I will definitely not kill him."
Foreigners outside the country sharpen their knives and use both soft and hard skills. On the one hand, they are willing to perish me and are preparing for a plan for military invasion. On the other hand, they are holding the Analects of Confucius to teach, growing opium on Chinese land, poisoning our national spirit.
The Americans at this time were just like the Japanese at that time. No matter which country's Japanese ambitions were, they had to fight, but Lan's father believed that under his guidance over the years, the compradors had already become quite powerful, and the foreign devils were coming, and the power of the compradors could rely on. He thought that the passionate young man was just abandoned sons, and the most hopeful reliance on compradors with rich and guns to fight against the Japanese.
But the comprador would not fulfill his wish: "I'm using this person." In fact, he knew that it was not his use of the Japanese, but the Japanese, but his strength was given by the Japanese, so how could you expect the traitors officially certified by the Imperial Army to fight against his master?
Dad played a big game of 20 years. In this game, he plotted against the Japanese, plotted against the other side, plotted against the comprador traitors. In order to play this game, the young man was a worker for many years and cheated the young man more than one or two steps. But after all, he calculated himself to the end of the road because the father forgot two things: the Japanese would never wait for you to be fully prepared before starting a full war, and waiting for the opportunity again and again will eventually get rid of the courage to revenge.
Dad Lan’s plan was stranded and he was locked in a dark room. I don’t know which day it will be.
Sister Hong’s idea is straightforward: Revenge is enough for one person, and a gun is enough.
Just do it and you can win by fighting!
Red and Blue are not the two parties they refer to in the past, but the two routes at this moment, the direction of two upper-level policies. After so many years of traveling, it is useless to shout and throw away fantasy and prepare for a fight - if the Japanese don’t really come in, fantasy can’t be lost.
Let me give you a little more meaning here. One thing to note is that in the Jiang Wen Beiyang trilogy, the basic attributes of the same actor in different movies are the same. In other words, Master Tang is Xiang Feitian in the next era, and the third brother is Zhu Qianlong in the next era.
After Zhang Mazi left, Jiang Wen played his two successors, Ma Zuri, who wanted to stick to the ideas of the times but was abandoned by the new era, and Lan Qingfeng, a big chess party who gave up his ideas but was eventually beaten by reality. These two characters are not Mazi himself, and they have much less divine glory than Mazi. They only flash a little bit of Mazi's shadow at their respective critical moments.
The only one who runs through the trilogy is Director Jiang's daughter-in-law Zhou Yun. A brief summary of Guan Qiaohong's life is revenge (GM) - dormant waiting (compromise) - enlightenment. In fact, it means that Sister Hua, Wu Liu, and Guan Qiaohong are one. After Hua joined the revolution, she compromised with the general environment and became Wu Liu. Wu Liu witnessed the injustice encountered by Ma Zuri and woke up again and became Guan Qiaohong.
Another clue that proves that Lan Hong and the other two are two sides: the first two parts of the trilogy reveal Jiang Wen's love for Zhou Yun, but the third part seems to have no CP scenes, but careful observation shows that Lan Qingfeng's two sons died and Guan Qiaohong abandoned her husband for revenge, which happened to have given birth to two sons. The ex-husband she said, who was always preparing but forgot her original intention was exactly the same as Lan Qingfeng.
In other words, although there is no connection between love lines, the red and blue are like two pieces of a puzzle that matches each other, one and two sides. After all, it is Sister Hua who changes her heart with the times, and Zhang Mazi's love for Sister Hua has never changed.
It is impossible to expect the comprador and the Japanese to fight each other. Feng Yi is so charming, and he is nearly 70 years old and is still catching a hero to fight back (69 points refer to 2018-1949). Unfortunately, Feng Yi missed the foreign slave. Even if you stamp the Japanese seal on Feng Yi, it will not awaken the foreign slave comprador's blood.
And a young man like fire, Feng Yi put the seal on you, don’t let her down!
Let’s make a fuss! The more you make a fuss, the safer I will be!
The once confused young man wore a kimono and a suit, and finally changed into a long gown. If he held an umbrella, he would be more like a master.
"Do you know what you're going to do?"
“I know exactly what I’m going to do!”
"Okay! Very good!"
Jiang Wen is the most character-oriented film director in the mainland!
After Meng Qingzhou came out after watching the movie, she commented on the movie with Ning Hao and Zu Feng while walking. The opinions would definitely not be unified, but the three of them had the same feeling. She suspected that Jiang Wen had a misunderstanding of "what kind of movie audience likes" after the success of "Let the Bullets Fly".
He may think that the audience's level is limited and he can't understand any metaphors, so he should make the metaphors more obvious so that the audience can understand them, and add some commercial elements and the audience will like them.
That's why he sent an actor to give a lip to the awards ceremony involving "Let the Bullets Fly" and said: Thank you for your love for "The Sun Rises As Always 2". (It's a rough idea, I can't remember it clearly)
In fact, Lao Meng thinks that the main reason why "Let the Bullets Fly" is that after all the metaphors, it is still a complete, compact and interesting movie. The box office failure of "The Sun Rises As Always" is probably the fundamental reason that the loose surface structure is in addition to the lack of commercial elements.
I don’t see the reviews of “One Step Away” and “Evil Don’t Suppress Righteous” saying: You don’t understand, but people actually want to express this meaning… On the contrary, few people say that this plot is very satisfying, that plot is very interesting, this acting is really explosive, how the whole movie is breathless, and so on…
If the skin does not exist, where will the hair be attached?
Jiang Wen's "The Sunny Day", "The Devils Are Coming", and "Let the Bullets Fly", currently no second director in China can make it. Including "The Sun Rises As Always", it is definitely a classic. Unfortunately, the box office failure of "The Sun Rises As Always" is his heart. He always seems to want to inject the essence of this movie into his new film, and use a box office big sale to prove that I am one era ahead of you!
Chapter completed!
