Yesterday, several blockbuster films were released. The highly anticipated "Game of the Brave 2" by Hollywood "big guy" Dashi Johnson, and "The Gathering at South Station" starring Diao Yinan, Hu Ge and Gui Lunmei (hereinafter referred to as "South Station") "), and Tang Wei, "The Whistleblower" starring Lei Jiayin.
However, after some competition, "Whistleblower" and "Game of the Brave" only scored 6.3/6.2 points and word-of-mouth on Douban, and Diaodao's works by scored 7.7 points. Overwhelm the first two works.
According to the current box office and film schedule, "The Whistleblower" was defeated ahead of schedule. The first day was 11.5 million. Today's film schedule has dropped to 8%, leaving only the other two works to compete for the championship in the same period.
Giant Stone's movie has a certain audience and fan base in China because of the IP influence and subject matter of the first movie. However, due to word of mouth, it is expected that the box office is not destined to "explode"!
According to word-of-mouth, Diao Dao’s new black film still has room for fermentation and growth. Whether it is the previous work "Fireworks in the Day" or "Southern Station", is considered to be the best of domestic literary films (nothing below Spoiler, everyone can read it easily).
01, Director Diao Yinan provides a solution for a "difficult problem"
Audiences familiar with Director Diao Yinan know that the noir style in his films.
's "Fireworks in the Day" in 2014 won the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival, and won a box office record of 102 million, breaking the "magic" of the box office failure of award-winning literary films. It is still on Douban. Still got a score of 7.4 points. I will not repeat the plot of "South Station". It is worth mentioning that Director Diao provided a specific solution to a problem. is a literary film that finds a balance between market acceptance and director’s performance style. .
As we all know, the past literary and art films were too "cold". Many directors strive to pursue personal style and expression, emphasizing the more prominent features of certain literary styles, such as paranoid love and incomprehensible obsession. Most of the
types are biased, and they will also be accused of "unconnectedness". There are relatively few audience groups that can resonate with . Therefore, there are very few literary films with higher box office.
"South Station" is a breakthrough. The director's choice of theme and character creation is different from traditional literary films. It incorporates elements such as crime and suspense. not only guarantees the uniqueness of literary films, but also can produce with many audiences. Empathy, in terms of content, was the first to win, and won the first seed audience.
02, the aesthetics of violence
In this movie, the audience talks about the presentation of the aesthetics of violence in the movie. With Quentin's aesthetic style, it is no wonder that he will be appreciated by him.
The author believes that "South Station" is more successful than "Fireworks in the Day". From the background of the story, one focuses on the north, one focuses on the south, one ice and snow, and one hot summer. However, "South Station" presents Violent aesthetics and artistic features have more impact and tension, which can be said to be sublimation and absolute improvement. The two most memorable scenes of
, the first is "Umbrella Massacre" and the second is "Zoo Fight". These two scenes shoot bloody scenes like scattered "rose petals", and the violence is full of beauty.
The patter of rainy streets, a busy and messy corner of the city, and the bloody crimes and entanglements.
In the fight between the fugitive Zhou Zenong and his opponent Maoyan, a snow-white umbrella penetrated the opponent's abdomen, and plasma sprayed out, and the transparent white umbrella instantly opened "red flowers". Compared with spraying ketchup everywhere,
has to be made into "black and white" blood. These presentations are often more aesthetically significant. The color matching and scene rendering are just right; the second scene of
is the entanglement in the zoo, which the director uses The fear in the eyes of tigers, owls and other animals is taken as close-up shots to show the sadness and helplessness of the people at the bottom of the city in Wuhan.
looks like a feasting city, but there is no place that can be trusted. Zhou Zenong has not returned home due to the "situation" for five years, the loneliness and dissociation of accompany swimmers' love, and Zhou Zenong's wifePeople's wandering and helplessness, , these are individuals on the fringe of the city, whose souls do not depend on them, looking for their own coordinates under the bustling neon lights.
03, Hu Ge’s first big screen show
Hu Ge has always been mainly focused on filming TV series, the elegant and handsome in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the witty and agile stage in "The Pretender", and The persevering and righteous Mei Changsu in "Langya List" left a deep impression on the audience. 's superb acting skills and good audience popularity also succeeded in gaining the support of a large number of passersby fans.
However, on the big screen, Hu Ge's appearance frequency is very small. This year's "Climber", Hu Ge also played the role of "Yang Guang" in the supporting role, and his personal performance is still limited by conditions.
So , "Southern Station" can be regarded as Hu Ge's first big-screen movie in the true sense. Overall, his performance has not disappointed.
learns the Wuhan accent, "disfigured", ran a road show, and went to Li Jiaqi's live broadcast room with Gui Lunmei for publicity. It can be seen that Hu Ge's hope for this drama.
According to the author's statistics, on the first day of the movie on December 6, Hu Ge, in addition to publicity, posted up to 16 interactive posts on his social platform.
, because of his good popularity, almost half of the stars and big Vs in the entertainment circle helped him. Wu Jing, Jing Boran, Zhang Yi, Chen Kun, Liu Shishi and others all promoted his new play. The success of
04 and
has not only enhanced the performance of Hu Ge, Gui Lunmei and others, but also a huge breakthrough for domestic literary and artistic films. As the first male lead movie on the big screen, it can get such a box office. The results are not easy.
Of course, this movie still has some room for improvement. For example, because of the subject matter, the director "deliberately" created some elements specially prepared for "winning", the nouns to accompany swimming girls, and deliberately on the dark side of society Exposure, etc., understandable, flaws are not concealed.
Overall, this movie still exceeds my expectations, not bad! I gave this movie eight points and recommend four stars.
