Xu Zheng became serious in the movie and his acting skills still burst

recommends the movie

Micron is serious

Xu Zheng should be the most popular and successful Chinese actor in the past two years, except for Wu Jing.

Many people's impression of Xu Zheng in the past two years is that they stayed in the fire last year. People all over the country know that I am not a god of medicine. If

is pushed in the previous two years, it is the comedy empire created by him and Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Ning Hao and others, including Tai Yu and so on. If

goes back a bit further, I am afraid it will be traced back to the splendid spring of the pig and the love that travels through time and space, those ancient TV drama periods.

But in fact Xu Zheng has not acted in a purely serious orthodox movie. And among these movies, it is not without quality.

​​has a sequel to a movie, or the sister of the "Memory Master" editor once mentioned it on Micron. At that time, the editor gave the movie experience, but it is not lost. Relatively speaking, there are occasional bright spots, but generally mediocre.

I saw the original original work that I saw today. As expected, most of any series are the first and most surprising.

"Master of Hypnosis"

"Master of Hypnosis".

This movie was directed by Chen Zhengdao in 2014, starring Xu Zheng and Karen Mok, who was still very sexy at the time.

I didn’t plan to watch this movie before, but I saw a pretty good clip on a broken station two days ago. Many of the shots used in it make the editor feel that the picture is quite rich, so I am curious. I asked which movie it was cut from, and it turned out to be this "Master of Hypnotism", which surprised the editor, because I thought it was possible to watch more tones from European and American movies.

So out of curiosity, the editor came to watch this movie, which is actually a few years old.

Xu Ruining, a famous psychotherapist, is good at hypnotherapy and has won praise from the industry. However, he was proud and arrogant, but he encountered the most difficult case in his career, and that was the female patient Ren Xiaoyan recommended to him by Professor Fang.

One night, the female assistant Amy introduced Ren Xiaoyan, but the female patient seemed to be uncooperative all the time. She had a tough attitude towards the doctor and believed that she could have supernatural ability. Ruining felt that she had not told the truth, so she started Hypnotherapy.

What is unexpected is that Ren Xiaoyan is in control of the situation, and the truth is actually related to Ruining's deceased lover and friend Luo Yusong. What is Ren Xiaoyan's identity? Ruining seems to have fallen into a well-designed trap. The score of

on Douban is 7.6, which is already a good score in domestic films. In fact, after watching the movie, I think it is indeed worthy of this score.

doesn't blow up and doesn't black out. From the perspective of 2014, this film should be regarded as a quality that is closer to high-quality products in China. Although it is too far from perfection, it is obvious that many places are more attentive.

Since the editor appeared in the edited video at that time, the editor believed that the scene was richer and the color tone was more vivid and attracted to watch this movie, so of course, we must first talk about the picture problem of the film. .

has to say that even in 2019, close to 2020 today, the editor will still be forced by the lack of aesthetics of some domestic film directors when watching weekly new films in weekly movie watching activities. Can't help but touch his forehead.

It can be seen that, in the process of relatively speaking, domestic films still have a long way to go. In terms of aesthetics, many directors do lack common sense. The images in these works often make people feel that they are very plastic, which is similar to TV series, and even worse than some beautifully produced TV series.

But at least five years ago, the master of hypnosis did it in the movie, which made people feel less aesthetically uncomfortable, and the use of lens language obviously borrowed from some foreign masters.

For example, a very important point in psychological counseling is the high status of the counselor and the person being counseled. This is a very important factor. Generally, the counselor must firmly grasp the psychology of the bassist The state and the emotional stability of the whole person, so in terms of status and psychological elements, he must be higher than the person being consulted.

But relatively speaking, this point may not be expressed so well in the language of the lens, and the acting skills of the actors alone may not be able to solve this problem, so the director very cleverly used some displays borrowed from foreign masters. How to use lens language. For example, through the ingenious furnishings and configurations in the house, as well as the standing and posture of both the hero and heroine, the audience can instinctively understand who is dominant in the dialogue at this moment. This is a very clever method, almost no talent is needed, so it's okay to follow this method.

​​So overall, what attracted the editor to watch this movie at that time, that is, the overall picture did not disappoint the editor.

In terms of plot, because this film is a suspense movie after all, there are still some friends who haven’t watched this movie, and if the suspense movie reveals the future direction too early, it will make people feel somewhat boring, so Try to avoid spoilers here.

If you want to evaluate the plot, you can only say that the director has obviously worked very hard, and the actors’ acting skills have no major problems, but it may be because around 2014, Chinese domestic films, especially suspense commercial films, the market still It was not so perfect that it was really not very mature at that time.

So the result is that although the main creative staff have worked hard, the results reflected are indeed a bit of suspicion of forced reversal, which makes people feel that the routine feels a bit heavy. The emotional direction of

​​and the characters is still very abrupt. There is a bit of a mechanical feeling. It seems that the actors are just acting according to the love and hate given on the script, without the slightest involvement in their own feelings. If there is no problem with the actor's acting skills (the acting skills of these few should be no problem), I am afraid it is because the script is written too bluntly.

But on the bright side, although the whole script is slightly flawed in terms of emotion and number, and the reversal of the ending also has a little routine, the overall foreshadowing and fluency are already quite outstanding in domestic films. For example, in many previous domestic suspense films,

was shocked and talkative, but after reading it, I just felt that the whole article was nonsense, and there was no interest in wanting a second brush.

But one of the great things about this film is that it almost doesn’t talk nonsense, and it doesn’t give the gloomy atmosphere that psychology is often portrayed in movies as narrated metaphysics. Startled.

For example, one thing that the editor thinks is worthy of praise is the dialogue between the characters in the film. Although sometimes there are more written and less daily senses, but overall there is hardly too much nonsense. Every foreshadowing is basically I used them all later, which resulted in the smoothness of the entire movie commendable.

As for some people who have seen more about human nature, emotions, and more in-depth topics after watching the movie, I'm sorry that the editor didn't feel anything this time. I didn't see anything...

Comparing the movie with his later sister chapter "The Master of Memory", it can be understood that the actors’ acting skills are important, but if superb actors like Huang Bo and Duan Yihong encounter a relatively incomplete script, then The final result is still not as good as a good script meets a good actor. It can be seen that the core of the story is the most important.

However, Xu Zheng's route in the past two years is also a bit confusing. Who knows if he will make a suspense film better than this movie in the future? You can also look forward to it.
