In recent years, film and television works describing the past in Northeast China have appeared frequently, such as "Moses on the Plains" and " The Long Season ". Not only do they not suffer from aesthetic fatigue, but they always gain resonance and recognition from the audience. The currently being screened "Old Gun " also carries such memories of the times, closely combining the relationship between individuals and the times. The male protagonist Gu Xuebing played by Zu Feng has received unanimous praise. Many viewers believe that the film "is One of the most surprising domestic films this year." Why is the "Northeast Renaissance" trend always blowing in the film and television industry?
"The Old Gun" was released
hit the audience's aesthetic bullseye
The English name of the movie "The Old Gun" is "a long shot", which has both the literal meaning of "long shot" and the meaning of "a slim attempt". Extended meaning. As the English title says, the film tells a story about a gunman in the Northeast.
"Former shooting champion" Gu Xuebing (played by Zu Feng) had no choice but to retire due to damage to his ear nerves during the competition, and was forced to become an ordinary security guard in the factory security department. The "proud son of heaven" became the "abandoned son of heaven" overnight. He especially wanted to make a shocking shot in the shaky era. One day, Gu Xuebing discovered that his colleague was stealing. When he tried to stop it, he discovered that his admirer Jin Yujia (played by Qin Hailu) and her son Geng Xiaojun (played by Zhou Zhengjie ) were also involved. With an accidental fall and death during the theft incident, the deep-buried evil surfaced, and several people were involved. An inevitable outbreak was about to happen, and Gu Xuebing could only use violent and decisive methods to solve the problem. ...
As early as October last year, "The Old Gun" won the Best Artistic Contribution Award in the Main Competition Unit at the 36th Tokyo International Film Festival. In April this year, "The Old Gun" once again debuted at the Beijing Film Festival and It received rave reviews. At that time, many people in the industry predicted that the film would be one of the most surprising domestic films this year. After its official release, "Old Gun" also gained excellent audience reputation. It scored 7.8 points on Douban, with more than half of the audience giving it 4 stars.
Based on the evaluation of netizens, most people believe that "Old Gun" is an authorial film work, which to a certain extent raises the threshold for viewing and affects the film's box office. But "Old Gun" is indeed a high-quality domestic film. The plot develops steadily, and the whole process is high-energy. It also gives a high-energy reversal ending. Not only does it not feel boring when watching the movie, it is full of explosive power and very watchable. powerful.
First of all, the film carefully tells a story about the Northeast that is full of great tension of the times. "Old Gun" closely combines the historical background and personal relationships, and designs many memorable highlights. For example, the department where Gu Xuebing works was the security department of some large state-owned enterprises and units in the 1980s and 1990s. Nowadays, this department in most units has been replaced by professional security companies, but the security department back then was really A hard-core department that shoulders important security missions. Watching Gu Xuebing, as a security officer, engage in gun battles with people on the big screen, can't help but be full of the explosive power of commercial films, and it also connects us to that bygone era.
The emotional entanglement between Gu Xuebing and the heroine Jin Yujia played by Qin Hailu also adds a contemporary flavor to the film. The emotional drama between them is completely different from the popular fast food love, showing a deeper and more delicate emotional exchange.
For example, the light in the corridor of Jin Yujia's house was broken due to disrepair. Gu Xuebing repaired the light overnight after hearing Jin Yujia's complaint, but did not tell the other party. When the two of them went home again, Gu Xuebing just said softly, "It's bright here, you can go back." In addition, the tone-deaf Gu Xuebing would secretly practice the songs Jin Yujia wanted to hear, and silently help Jin Yujia make clothes hangers with pliers and wire... When Gu Xuebing expressed his love, he was reserved and shy.
The male protagonist Gu Xuebing, played by Zu Feng, is undoubtedly another highlight of the film.Many literary and artistic works on the theme of Northeastern past events will choose to tell the story with a man who has been bumpy in the times as the fulcrum, and "Old Gun" is no exception - the male protagonist Gu Xuebing was once a shooting athlete, and now he is an ordinary worker. The character setting is very reminiscent of the former steel factory worker and current band drummer Chen Guilin played by Wang Qianyuan in "steel", and also reminds people of Wang Xiang, played by Fan Wei in "The Long Season". He worked as an advanced model worker and became a taxi driver after being laid off. The character Gu Xuebing in "Old Gun" is shy, sensitive and stubborn, breaking people's stereotype of Northeastern people. Compared with the optimistic Chen Guilin and the witty and mature Wang Xiang, Gu Xuebing's image is more complex and multifaceted. Having had moments of glory, he felt helpless and struggled with real life, but he also showed a unique skill and sense of mission. This kind of character shaping makes Gu Xuebing a three-dimensional and profound character, which is refreshing.
Zu Feng perfectly performed the role of Gu Xuebing in the eyes of the audience. On the Internet, many viewers said that they were deeply "hit" by the character of Gu Xuebing, and that they were deeply moved to their souls. Many viewers also attributed the credit to actor Zu Feng. , believed that "Zu Feng fully exerted his charm to the extreme", playing a character with surging inner strength under a silent and weak appearance; some film critics believed that the way Gu Xuebing completed his mission alone was both masculine and charming. His poignancy and depressiveness are reminiscent of Robert De Niro's performance in the classic film "Taxi Driver."
is "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast"
is also the memory of a generation

It provided fertile soil, from which a number of genre films such as "Once Upon a Time in America", "The Untouchables" and "This Is the Night" were born.
The same is true for film and television works such as "Old Gun". It shows that when the Northeast region, which started industrialization earlier, faced the challenges of state-owned enterprise restructuring and transformation in the 1980s and 1990s, people had to adapt to the market economic environment and seek survival and development. difficult process. Among them, some representative details can reflect the struggles and changes of individuals in the changing times, and can easily touch the softest part of the audience's heart.

His son Wang Yang hates that iron cannot become steel, but at the same time he hopes to pave the way for his son and find him a stable job in Huagang, where he has worked diligently all his life; in "Old Gun", Gu Xuebing also gave Xiaojun the final An important lesson, using his action of holding the gun steadily to show the deep pride of this character.
In the world of drama, these characters without exception show a kind of "axis" quality, and they have a "dead-hearted" persistence. This is not only a character trait, but also shows the pride and style cultivated by a generation in the worker era and collective era in the face of changes and challenges. In the eyes of many people, they may seem a little out of date, or they may be a nostalgia for the past, but this style has not been changed due to the changes of the times. It has become a consistent spirit and imprint of the times, deeply imprinted on a generation. heart.
