This year, nostalgia is fierce. "Nostalgia" is no longer the patent of variety shows and dramas. Short videos and even the big screen have also joined the nostalgic army one after another. The Hong Kong-style crime film "Edge Walker", which was just released some time ago, made the audience realize that "nostalgia" has hit the big screen. The nostalgia of this film mainly comes from the re-cooperation of "Double Ren", and the two people's scenes in the street also "exploded" a strong Hong Kong-style police and bandit film flavor. The film is starring Ren Xianqi and Ren Dahua and . The two are "one policeman and one bandit". A Luo played by Ren Xianqi is an undercover agent, and Ren Dahua plays the eldest brother of Jianghu, Xinlian Shenglongtou Changge. After a lapse of 16 years, they cooperated again, and the two people who were on the "edge" joined forces to fight against each other. Coupled with the film's strong Hong Kong-style police and bandit film flavor, many fans shouted: "The nostalgic DNA has moved!"
Ren Xianqi and The first two works of Ren Dahua's cooperation are " event " in 2004 and "Exile" in 2006. These two films are both police and gangster films, but the two do not have any real rivalry in them, they are just playing in the air. In 2004's "Big Event", Ren Xianqi played the role of the gangster Chen Yiyuan, with both high force and IQ, both action and appearance, which left a deep impression on the audience. Ren Dahua played the deputy chief of police in "The Big Event". At that time, he conveyed the courage of leadership with one look, and his super strength has made the audience reminisce to this day.
In the movie "Exile" co-produced by the two, Ren Xianqi played the "deposit policeman" and Ren Dahua played the gang boss "Da Fei". In the past 16 years, Ren Dahua and Ren Xianqi reunited in "Edge Walker". This golden partner made the audience see different changes. The 66-year-old Ren Dahua's demeanor has not diminished in the past, and he went into battle in person. Brother Qi is no longer a cross-border actor, but has become an "acting school delayed by singing". Ren Dahua said with emotion that the cooperation process between the two is full of "man's romance, so sparkling". For the audience in front of the screen, the re-cooperation of "Double Ren" is a fulfillment of the fans' emotional dream.

For example, "Hello, Brother", which was released some time ago, is the "Renew the Frontier" between Ma Li and Wei Xiang . , this killer is not very calm, " won a high reputation in the Spring Festival stalls. Wei Xiang played the role of Wei Chenggong, a young actor who played the role of running a dragon. Ma Li played the popular female star Milan. The "killer couple" partnered by the two became the Spring Festival stalls. The biggest dark horse. In "Hello, Brother", the two became husband and wife again and started a hilarious love affair in the 1980s, reminding the audience of their youth.
remakes and travels through, there are many retro moves
has cooperated with many golden partners on the big screen in the past two years, which has produced a chemical reaction that makes the audience's DNA move. For example, Andy Lau and , Liu Qingyun, , the two have been together since 1999." Dark Battle " to " Bomb Disposal Expert 2" in 2020, the "Shuangliu Combination" after more than 20 years, has become one of the biggest highlights of the movie. In 2016, " Macau 3" was also the re-cooperation between Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau after 26 years after "The Gambler". The two let "God of Gamblers" and " Knife " reunite on the screen again, playing a full emotional card. Li Yu and Fang Li, who are screenwriters and directors, have collaborated on many films before, and this year they also released a new film "Broken Bridge". There are many more "golden partners" that
can look forward to in the future. For example, Aaron Kwok and director Weng Ziguang cooperated with " when the wind rises again" to be released. Previously, the two cooperated in 2015 " in the snow to find plum " " was also a classic in the minds of the audience. The movie " Goldfinger " will also meet the audience. This movie is reunited by Andy Lau and Tony Leung . This is also the long-lost cooperation between the two after the classic movie " Infernal Affairs " in 2002. In addition to using the "re-cooperation" between actors to evoke the audience's memories,
also often uses the theme of "travel" on the big screen, using sound and pictures to bring the audience back to the old days. The popular movie "Hello, Brother", as well as the previous movies "Hello, Li Huanying ", " Riding the Wind and Waves ", etc., all adopt the setting of traveling back in time and meeting young parents. In "Hello, Brother", the dark blue work uniforms, the square with red flags, the ballroom full of nostalgic atmosphere and other designs are full of a sense of age, shoulder-padded suits, floral shirts, bathhouses and factories in the 1980s appear on the big screen , The strong retro style in these elements pulls the men, women and children in front of the screen back to the past.
In the "nostalgic" new films, the selection of background music is also in the "retro" style. For example, the episode "Flight That Can't Leave the Ground" in the movie "The Four Seas" released last year is adapted from the classic song of Radical Face. "Welcome Home", and the director Han Han re-filled the Chinese lyrics, and invited the band of pain to sing. This year, Shen Teng and Ma Li cooperated with " alone on the moon ", not only the long-lost "Teng-style comedy" is exciting, in the film Shen Teng puts on a kangaroo costume and uses a "beauty plan", with Tengger The old song " Yellow River's water is dry " and Yang Yuying 's old song "Tell you gently" also reminded the audience once again of the past.
Many comedy films also have retro style in the soundtracks, such as "The Little Girl under the Street Lamp", "The Messenger of Flowers", "One Cut Plum", etc. These golden songs and old songs are visualized on the big screen, and they lead the audience to carry out a performance. For the "killing of memories" in the field, the mantra of the audience this year has even become "DNA moves". However, the nostalgia for the big screen did not start this year. For example, in the funny comedy movies that have been adapted several times, the classic episodes in the old movies are often played, and the classic scenes in the old movies are reproduced.
is popular in China to "travel" nostalgia, while Hollywood uses "remake" to create nostalgia. From last year to this year, several Hollywood movies, such as "Spider-Man 3: No Home", " New Batman " and "Doctor Strange 2", are almost all IP or sequels. Including this year's Oscar's best film " Listening Girl ", which is a remake of "Berry's Family", " Fierce Fire ", which was released in North America last weekend, is also a remake of an old film from the 1984 version.
nostalgia calls for high-quality new works
"nostalgic style" is flourishing, and the nostalgic valve for the re-screening of old films has also been opened on the big screen. In the first half of 2021, a number of classic old films such as " Paradise Cinema " and "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" have reappeared on the screen. "Avatar" was also re-screened in March last year, and received 375 million yuan. Amazing box office. The "nostalgia" of the
big screen not only remakes classic film and television works, but also reproduces the classic scenes of old films. The emergence of restoration technologies such as AI and 4K also promotes the popularity of "nostalgic style". " Tunnel Battle ", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", " White-haired Girl ", "Visitors on the Iceberg" and many other red good films have been repaired by technology and have been released again. " and other classic Chinese comics, "Huo Yuanjia", " truant from school, Weilong ", "Xinzha Shimei" and other movies can be clearly reproduced after 4K restoration, as well as " havoc in heaven ", "the never-failing radio wave", "The Pianist at Sea" " The 4K restored versions of a number of classic films such as "Fantastic Books" were released successively. These old film restorations not only retrieved the youthful memories of a generation, but also generated new commercial value in "nostalgia".

In 2017, the re-screened version of " Westward Journey: The Great Sage Marries " will not only digitize the newly added footage, but also the entire movie. A 2K restoration was done and a Dolby Atmos version was made. In addition to 2K or 4K restoration, some re-screening movies will be converted from 2D to 3D, such as " Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone " "Titanic" and so on.
In recent years, the cake of "nostalgia" has been divided wildly in the entertainment field. Why is the retro trend so popular? Why do audiences like to recall the "past"? call". For example, "Avatar" released in 2009, the re-screening version makes many people feel that its special effects technology is not outdated today, this work with beautiful and shocking visual effects, the completeness of its story is also better than most of today's blockbusters Much more, the box office of the re-screening far exceeded that of the new films of the same period at the time, proving that many works at the moment did not arouse the excitement of the audience. But "nostalgia" is like an alternate player, you can take it out when you need it, and talk about it for comfort. But it can't act as a permanent candidate. The market will eventually move forward. The audience needs the "nostalgic" classics left after the big wave, and they need to pay attention to the more possibilities of the current works.
