If you want me to say, the crime blockbusters in the past two years are quite average.
There are a lot of movies that have no splash and great reputation.
Judging from several works that have attracted much attention, they can only be the bigger ones among the short ones.
For example, Zhang Yimou's " is as solid as a rock ".
The thunder is louder than the raindrops. During the promotion of
, the standards were all over the place, but as a result, the quality of the film was completely broken due to deletions and reshoots, which was not much worse than expected.
Another example is " Crossing the Angry Sea ".
pokes the audience's lungs, forcibly creates tears, and "abuses" the male protagonist's daughter without restraint. The father is not like a father, the mother cannot be a good mother, and everyone is sick (an objective mental narrative).
and "The Disappearance of Her" and "Desperate " which were box office hits.
's performance has soared, but its reputation has been severely polarized. The Douban score has not exceeded 7 points.
It is not difficult to see that everyone has started to "kill, kill, kill", and pure love is still inseparable from going around.
still lacks a lot of meaning upon closer inspection.
Finally, after a long wait, another masterpiece " " by "Manslaughter" director Ke Wenli arrives.
has an unremarkable lineup. It was a critical hit at the beginning. The total box office is expected to double on the first day of release. It relies entirely on hard power to get out of the industry.
can deliver more than 40 million results on working days, which has already heated up the summer season before the full "war" has begun.
Looking at the cast list, there seems to be no highlight except Wang Chuanjun .
Although this guy is not yet at the forefront of the film industry, he has received rave reviews without exception, whether it is his vision for selecting scripts or his acting skills.
The movies he appeared in " I'm Not the God of Medicine ", " Miracle·Stupid Kid ", "Desperate", etc. actually didn't make a splash.
Indeed, in "Silent Kill", Wang Chuanjun, as the male protagonist, vividly interprets the strong contrast between before and after.
goes from being dull and not really having any sense of evil to going on a killing spree and burning with rage. This stark contrast is not abrupt, and it is still eye-catching as the audience can predict it.
You must know that Wang Chuanjun was only the fourth character in last year's "All or Nothing". In just one year, Wang Chuanjun has finally found his place in the summer blockbusters.
can see that his popularity will also increase in the future, and he already has some say with the popularity of the movie.
But to be honest, the one who really surprised me in "Silent Kill" was Zhang Junning.
Before watching the movie, when I saw Zhang Junning's name, I seemed to be able to predict this sister's acting style. Generally speaking, it can be summed up in two words-
"routine".
I never expected that Zhang Junning completely let herself go in her performance in "Silent Kill".
Let’s talk about the breakthrough in appearance first.
In fact, in the past few years, Junning Chang has been playing roles that are relatively advanced and intellectual. I never expected that a 41-year-old Mesozoic actress could break through herself like this.
She in the video is not pretending to be ugly on the surface. When
appeared, her character Li Han was mopping the floor in the gymnasium. Not only was she dressed plainly, her hair was messy, but her skin was rough and somewhat dark.
That rusticity has been engraved in her bones. You can even smell the smell of laundry detergent mixed with sweat coming from her body through the screen.
Junning Zhang seems to have integrated into the character of Li Han, and she doesn't have the airs of a female star in her movements.
And this way, she doesn't care about image, which makes her more natural and relaxed in her performance.
let’s talk about acting.
In fact, the character Li Han is slightly similar to the father played by Huang Bo in "Crossing the Angry Sea".
In the first half of
, Zhang Junning's performance was restrained.
When a child is bullied, she has to be humble and swallow her anger. When she saw her daughter tied to the wall, she was shocked and silent at that moment. I seemed to have heard the sound of her desperately biting her back molars.
Later, after saving her daughter, she took scissors and cut off her daughter's hair one by one.
The tears she shed at this time were of guilt and helplessness.
She has made her daughter suffer so much, but there is nothing she can do. Has it become a luxury for such a poor person to even live a good life?
However, the most amazing thing is not here, the close-up shot of the couple behind is really moving.
Instead, the mother lay in her daughter's arms. Here the director gave a shot of Zhang Junning's face, and her expression revealed the heart of a mother vividly.
Li Han, who seemed strong and ruthless, became soft when she was alone with her daughter. She hugged her daughter and closed her eyes tightly.
Seeing this, I already understood that perhaps Li Han was more vulnerable, which also paved the way for subsequent reversals.
html There are too many scenes with five characters. The scene in the second half that sticks in my mind the most is the scene of the argument with Wang Chuanjun in the car.
Li Han's daughter is nowhere to be found here. She and Lin Zaifu had already had a life-threatening encounter before. Here she is scarred, but all she can see is her daughter.
Zhang Junning perfectly depicts how a single and weak woman explodes in jealousy and completes the final "counter-attack". At this moment,
's "red eyes" have truly become concrete.
is also about risking the lives of children. The biggest difference between Zhang Junning's performance in "Silent Kill" and Zhou Xun's performance in "Across the Angry Sea" is that the former is more down-to-earth.
Junning Zhang's performance is not miserable, but "ruthless".
No matter when the plot develops, you can clearly feel the powerful explosive power that this woman has not shown, and her seemingly calm heart but her endless forbearance and restraint.
Junning Zhang can really have his name in front of the big screen this time.
There are really not many people who can handle Wang Chuanjun's drama, not to mention that roles like Li Han are not new, and Zhang Junning can completely bring the audience into the whole process, both in terms of appearance and inner emotions.
is really good.
Conclusion
It can be seen that after the film market reaches its climax, the audience's requirements for film and television dramas have gradually increased. If you want to catch the audience's attention purely by "scare", you will definitely become cannon fodder in the schedule.
The lineup of "Silence" is really not strong, especially in the star-studded summer season. Without Chen Sicheng's name, one can imagine Ke Wenli's box office appeal.
What attracts me most about this movie is its "solidness".
The whole story is very simple, and there is nothing mysterious about it. It has a solid story and solid acting skills.
The villains all died tragically, with little repayment, and the murderer finally got what he wanted and paid the price for his actions.
Although the real summer movie-watching boom has yet to come, the early release of "Manslaughter" has completely opened up the movie market. I wonder if you want to go into the theater to watch the new work of the director of "Manslaughter"?
