The movie market after the Spring Festival is somewhat sluggish.
supports the "four carriages" of the Spring Festival stalls, but the long-term effect is not as good as expected, and the fatigue is obvious.
The performance of several new films is not satisfactory, and " Mr. Red Carpet ", which has been tossing for so long, has become cannon fodder in the end.
's only standout film, ": Eliminating Three Evils in One Week, ", is a dark horse player from Taiwan, but its box office space has almost been exhausted.
The popular film and television industry was finally ignited by a movie about "The God Hidden" for 7 years.
This is "Jiaoyuan Lane" directed by Peter Chan. The film was announced to be finalized not long ago and will most likely be released this year.
No matter which aspect you look at, "Jiangyuan Nong" is definitely a hot search.
is a story prototype that combines "legend, mystery, suspense and thriller".
The film is adapted from the Jiangyuan Nong Murder Case, one of the "Four Mysterious Cases of the Republic of China". It was the most discussed anecdote in the streets and alleys of Shanghai at that time.
Housewife Zhan Zhou could not bear the domestic violence of her husband, so she killed her husband one night and cut his body into pieces.
The seemingly clear case is actually full of doubts.
How can a weak woman subdue a strong man and cut him into pieces?
What roles did Zhan Zhou's two "male friends" He Dazi and Xiao Ningbo play in this?
Is the whole case a woman's self-rescue, or is it the rumored story of "Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing"?
also has a super luxurious "King Zha" lineup.
The heroine Zhan Zhou is played by Zhang Ziyi who has not been in the movie for a long time.
If you want to know Zhang Ziyi’s last heroine movie, you have to go back to 2015’s “The Grandmaster ”.
It’s exciting to see Zhang Ziyi take the lead again after so many years.
The candidate for the male lead is the most popular "middle-aged top" Lei Jiayin in the past two years.
Based on various materials, the role played by Lei Jiayin is Officer Xue who is responsible for this case.
plays opposite Zhang Ziyi, and he plays a speculative "man hunter". The final effect is really exciting.
The supporting cast of "Jiaoyuan Lane" is also a sparkling high-end list.
Yi Yang Qianxi, Zhang Zifeng, Wang Chuanjun, Dapeng, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Li Xian, Fan Wei, Lin Yongjian...
Half of the film and television industry is gathered here, and every actor is released They are all the top search criteria.
After seeing this, you must have understood why this movie can cause such a stir.
's exciting story, coupled with the lineup of gods fighting, it's hard not to think about it.
Even the famous Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda couldn't sit still and went to visit the crew in person. One can imagine the importance of this movie.
If you could sum up "Jiangyuan Lane" in one word, "Fire and Ice" is undoubtedly the most appropriate expression.
From the initial quiet preparation to the intense attention after the official shooting, Chen Kexin spent 7 years to build "Jiaoyuan Lane" into a "big wave" that shocked the entire Chinese film industry.
The so-called "fire" means that you can't survive without entertainment. You can use entertainment methods to gain popularity and expand the audience of movies.
This has become a common phenomenon in the current production of various film and television works:
Take " Article 20 " in the Spring Festival as an example. It expresses dilemmas of reason and justice, priceless justice, and the theme expressed is quite serious.
But Zhang Yimou refused to follow a serious and dignified style, so he insisted on shooting in a vulgar way.
adds comedy elements of husband and wife bickering, and various trivial matters and parentage are also interspersed with heavy social issues.
Watching the whole movie, it was a lively and lively movie with no interruptions. It was truly "edutainment and entertainment".
Lao Mouzi, who has been in the market for many years, knows very well that without some comedy elements to make a movie like this popular, it will be difficult to make a big impact at the box office.
The final box office of the film was 2.4 billion, which also proved the shrewdness of Lao Mouzi's move.
"Jiang Yuan Nong", which also has profound social expression, cannot escape the discipline of entertainment laws.
Although I haven't seen the true face of the movie yet, judging from the current actions of the film crew, the combination of suspense + curiosity is quite effective.
For example, "one movement, one silence" on Xuanfa.
"Yijing" refers to the poster released by the film crew.
A ball of newspapers wrapped in some kind of object was covered with blood stains, and a sense of horror suddenly arose.
Text reports in newspapers such as "The Husband Was Killed for Eighteen Dollars" and "The Case of the Corpse in a Box in Jiangyuan Nong" make people imagine the whole story.
"一动" refers to the trailer of only 15 seconds.
On the narrow stairs, a woman was carrying a package of corpses staggeringly, and blood was dripping from the package.
When the camera turned, Zhang Ziyi, who was carrying a body bag, was covered in blood, with coldness and determination in her eyes.
The huge word "Jiang Yuan" on the wall behind him adds to the visual impact.
's trailer of more than ten seconds did not have a single line, and it aroused the audience's curiosity just by relying on the pictures and performances.
In addition to using content as bait, the film's lineup is a natural topic maker, which directly enhances the "entertainment depth" of the film.
For example, Zhang Ziyi, who has returned to the top after 9 years, is full of eye-catching gimmicks both on and off screen.
Regaining strength after divorce, it is still such a topic about killing her husband. I have to say that Zhang Ziyi's choice is "vicious" enough.
At the closing party of "Jiangyuan Lane" not long ago, Zhang Ziyi choked up several times and admitted that this drama gave her a rebirth.
was at the peak of his career when he debuted, and was known as the second best person after the "Man Shen Gong Emperor Yang Di" (Maggie Cheung/Gong Li/Michelle Yeoh); it is conceivable that an actor like
has not had a good role in seven or eight years. How important this play is to her.
There is no doubt about Zhang Ziyi's strength. Not surprisingly, next year's Golden Rooster statue will be the strongest competitor for Best Actress.
Not only does Zhang Ziyi stand out, but she is also competing for the title of "who is the second female lead".
To be honest, many actors are salivating over a "big cake" with all kinds of colors, flavors and tastes like "Jiang Yuan Lane".
After various speculations and rumors were debunked, Zhao Liying and Yang Mi became the most reliable candidates for the second female lead in the film.
are both top representatives of the first generation and have high popularity with the audience. It is reasonable for them to star in this film.
originally thought that everything was settled, but because of the ranking issue between the two, it triggered a "fandom war" between the two fans. After
, the flames of war were drawn to Zhang Ziyi, and this was the scene where "Zhang Ziyi angrily attacked netizens".
In the end, the film's official blog came forward to resolve the dispute over the roles by stating that "the starring actors are sorted in order of appearance."
No matter what, this off-screen "chicken feathers" brought real popularity to the movie.
If it only achieves this step, it can only be said that "Jiangyuan Lane" only achieved a marketing victory, and it is by no means Chen Kexin's style.
In addition to the liveliness of entertainment to death, "Jiang Yuan Lane" also manages to be "icy". The so-called "ice" of
refers to the craftsmanship that focuses on creating works away from the hustle and bustle of Vanity Fair.
"Jiangyuan Lane" is a representative of slow work and careful work. The script of the
film comes from the novella "Reversal of the Case" published in 2015 by Jiang Feng, one of the screenwriters of the film.
In 2017, the novel was picked up by Chen Kexin, and several screenwriters headed by Jiang Feng began polishing the script.
After choosing the script, Peter Chan was not idle.
selected the actors, found the filming location, approved the script, and officially shot it, which took up to 7 years.
In the past seven years, "Jiangyuan Lane" has experienced various changes and even faced the risk of "abortion".
Chan Kexin once planned to "abandon movies and pursue dramas", make this story into a mini-series, and distribute it through his own company.
It was not until August last year that this film was finally successfully approved, and the efforts of the past few years finally paid off.
Although it has been delayed for so long, Peter Chan is not in a hurry and carefully controls the quality of the film.
is like a creation of the style of the times, striving to accurately restore the details.
Take the Jiangyuan Nong scene as an example. By comparing real photos and movies together, it is a complete 1:1 reproduction.
Peter Chan also has high standards and requirements on the set. One shot often needs to be shot many times.
In order to adapt to the role, Chen Kexin also has a strong attitude of "weak water is worth three thousand, and only takes one scoop to drink".
The most typical choice is the choice of heroine. Chen Kexin chose Zhang Ziyi as early as 2017.
After so many years, Zhang Ziyi entered the "downturn" in her acting career, but her position as the heroine has never been shaken.
Just like Zhang Ziyi said, in Chen Kexin's heart, he is his only right choice.
's polishing of this movie is not just reflected in these superficial skills.
In seemingly complex and lively movies, Peter Chan also sticks to the realistic expressions he has always been passionate about.
After seeing the plot summary of "Jiangyuan Lane", Qingshi thought of the movie " Ruan Lingyu " directed by Guan Jinpeng.
is also a true story that happened in the Republic of China. A famous female star could not bear the harassment of rumors and finally chose to commit suicide.
"Ruan Lingyu" and "Jiang Yuan Nong" are like two sides of women of that era. Regardless of resignation or resistance, they are inevitably destined to be judged by the whole people.
This kind of sympathy and care for women can be felt even more deeply in the English title of the film -
she has no name.
A woman without a name, just "Zhanzhou" named by her husband's surname by the world.
When I think of the words "Zhan Zhou and Pan Jinlian" on the poster, a distorted image of a woman buried in the cracks of the times has emerged before my eyes.
We can feel that "Jiang Yuan Lane" is not a bluff with big thunder and small raindrops, but a kind of heaviness refined by ancient methods.
After so many years of hard work, I believe "Jiangyuan Lane" will become a powerful medicine in the Chinese film industry.
In the increasingly impetuous film and television industry, this kind of meticulous craftsmanship is becoming increasingly rare.
More movies just obey capital, cater to the public, and replace aesthetic expression with emotional value.
It is true that the movie market needs "short, fast" fast food and bustling excitement.
But movies have their own unique artistic expression, and they need to cool themselves down at the appropriate time and regain the taste of movies through chewing slowly.
