Speaking of Sherlock, will the handsome face of Benedict Cumberbatch appear in your mind?
may have been before, but after watching the absurd comedy film "Sherlock on the Plain" directed by Xu Lei, your impression of the detective "Sherlock" may no longer be that of the detective novelist Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes.
This film, supervised by well-known young director Rao Xiaozhi and cooperating with newcomer director Xu Lei, won the best feature film nomination and the best film text award at the 13th FIRST Youth Film Festival.
Actors Yao Chen, Wu Jing, Guo Fan, director of the movie "Wandering Earth", Wen Muye, director of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and Rao Xiaozhi, director of "The Nameless" have also recommended this small production film.
On November 12th, the editor was fortunate to be invited to watch the movie in advance. During the second round of roadshows in "Sherlock on the Plain", he discussed with the audience and director Xu Lei about the front and back of the film.
During the movie watching, I only heard the laughter of the audience in the back row one after another. It is strange to say that this film does not have the dense laughter created by the previous comedy, but it has become the source of happiness in the audiences.
"Sherlock on the Plain" is set in a rural area in northern China, where few people pay attention. The two "tuku" uncles embarked on an absurd adventure to find the driver incarnation as "detectives". The story theme of the
film is very novel, and at the same time it uses the techniques of genre films. It is a novel commercial story that is easy to poke the audience's excitement. The many elements in the
film impressed everyone. At the end of the movie, everyone had many questions in their minds. The interpretation of the title, the style of the film, and the bold choice of vegan actors have all become the interactive highlights of the scene.
Director Xu Lei answered one by one. He said frankly that the title "Sherlock on the Plain" actually carries a hint of ridicule and jokes. Since it is a detective story that happened in the northern countryside, the old man in his hometown should be the one. "Sherlock" and "Watson" are not just the setting of the characters.
Talking about the elements of amateur actors and the nature of dialect movies, Xu Lei said with a smile: "The real background story takes place in my hometown, and the filming is also in my hometown. Therefore, the choice of dialect and the choice of actors are logical. Matter." The names of
amateur actors in the film are their real names, and this detail was also discovered by the "microscope girl" on the scene. When
was asked this question, Xu Lei first smiled, and then explained it with some words: This is a technique for guiding amateur actors. Using their real names can help them join the play more and believe in the situation.
It’s true that the amateurs, including Xu Lei’s father (one of the leading actors in this film), are all from the countryside, and they usually communicate in dialects. If they speak in Mandarin or give them a temporary stage name, everyone will pay back soon. I really can't adapt.
It can be seen that although Xu Lei is a northern man, he has a delicate heart.
Xu Lei is standing in front of the screen, holding the microphone and not talking, he feels a little honest. He has short bangs and a beard. The appearance is standard for literary youth. He wears a simple black T-shirt with a water wash Denim jackets belong to people with stories at first glance.
speaks simple and straightforward, especially grounded. Although it is about some topics related to film creation, it also reveals a bit of humor and humor. A humorous northern man with a smile The film of tears is great!
A detective story in a northern rural area, mixed with many realistic details and black humor, is filming the taste of a western movie. The new director Xu Lei is really amazing.
watched the whole movie, relaxed and happy, in the process of the little characters "chasing the murderer", we unconsciously substituting into the situation. The
film was well received by the audience. After watching the movie, many people still called for the film outside the screening hall, calling friends for a second call.
On November 29th, "Sherlock on the Plain" will meet with you. This film inspired by stories that actually happened around the people must be arranged!
