Disaster Artist

The latest website: Life is full of countless possibilities, maybe happiness or sadness, maybe happiness or pain, maybe struggling or weak, one after another trivial time and event fragments are pieced together, filling the daily corners and corners, so that the whole brain is full. , with no respite.

However, as long as you enter the cinema, when the lights gradually dim and the screen gradually brightens, you will enter a fantasy world like Alice in Wonderland, beautiful or ugly, gorgeous or dark, and you will forget for a while during the film rotation. Real life outside.

When we watch a movie, what are we watching? In other words, what should I watch?

story?

It is, but it should be more than that.

Through the square screen, we are appreciating another world, opening a door through light and shadow to see the world, the universe, and the vastness beyond our own life; we are appreciating another life, through the joy of others Anger, joy, joy, separation and reunion, seeing life, seeing life, and seeing more possibilities projected by oneself on the characters.

Therefore, film is an art of dream-making, but it is not just dream-making.

So, when the movie starts to play, you might as well calm down for a while, leave all the disturbances of the real world outside the auditorium for a while, immerse yourself in another space and another life, find, find yourself, find dreams, find life, find warmth Find an answer to a question you don't even know.

Lu Qian likes movies, and definitely not only likes the director's control of constructing the world, in addition, there are many, many more.

It is because of this that Lu Qian followed Hou Xiaochuan, Guan Zhou and others into the screening room despite the thoughts in his mind, put aside his worries and worries for a while, and entered the story of "Fast Pursuit", following in Vic's footsteps and exploring the darkness. world.

Objectively speaking, the original "Fast Pursuit" is a simple to the extreme story, and there is no obvious difference from "raid". Maybe the starting point and idea are different, but the presentation method is the same. The main differences are:

"The Raid" presents raw gritty explosions and gore with a handheld camera, with an emphasis on fight scenes.

"Fast Pursuit" presents the character's personal charm with the atmosphere, focusing on the character's handsomeness.

Of course, good-looking is good-looking, and refreshing is also refreshing, but at the same time, it is also boring:

The essence of "Fast Pursuit" is still a superhero movie.

Although Keanu Reeves does not have superpowers, the action design that can always win with one against one hundred is actually not much different from the savior of "The Matrix", plus the urgent editing and scheduling, so it is also It became a superhero drama from "rehearsal and calculation".

If the movie stops here, then Lu Qian will not launch the "Fast Pursuit" project, because the interval between it and the "raid" is too short, not only is it suspected of repeated frying, but also easily consumes the enthusiasm of the audience in a short time. , It is a small thing to affect the box office of a movie, but it is a big thing to affect the re-emergence of the entire retro action movie genre.

It is precisely because of this that when Lu Qian wrote the script of "Quick Pursuit", the whole starting point was different:

"Raid" is the collision of light and darkness, especially focusing on the development line where the fates of the two brothers are intertwined, showing the pathos and grandeur of fate.

"Quick Pursuit" is a confrontation between darkness and darkness. Through a small window, you can see the tip of the iceberg of the entire underground world, highlighting the involuntary difficulties.

Two characters and two stories, the entire framework and core are completely different. The former tells about reality; the latter tells about rivers and lakes.

At the same time, Lu Qian gave up being in charge of the guide tube and invited Hou Xiaochuan to shoulder the heavy responsibility, hoping to present the story through Hou Xiaochuan's unique lens language, and even the entire martial arts design was completely overturned. In essence, he hopes to further develop in retro action movies. Subdivided into small genres, and truly rejuvenate genre films.

Lu Qian had high hopes for Hou Xiaochuan.

Judging from the final version, Hou Xiaochuan did not live up to Lu Qian's trust——

Stern and gloomy, crisp, sharp and tough, the whole picture reveals a touch of deep blue. Hou Xiaochuan interweaves an impassioned melody with editing and soundtrack.

The most significant difference from Lu Qian is that Hou Xiaochuan consciously zoomed out the camera slightly, and rarely even aimed at Guan Zhou's frontal face from beginning to end, and mostly cut out his profile and back through light and shadow. It also causes a kind of alienation between the characters and the audience, which is completely different from the immersion of the "raid".

However, the water-like picture endows the character with a sense of mystery, and even uses this solitary coldness to highlight the character's own kindness and sadness, and the dazzling and fascinated are already intoxicated. Guan Zhou's baby face is in Hou Xiaochuan. There was a hint of sadness in the lens.

During the viewing process, the rustling exclamations of the dome theater continued one after another, and the cool scene of the plasma bursting made adrenaline rush, but the exciting fight scene quickly grabbed the throat, and the exclamation just started. Come out, then hold your breath and continue watching.

Being in it, enjoying the thrilling experience like a roller coaster, once again proves the unique charm of the big screen.

However, the problem is also objective:

Too much.

Hou Xiaochuan was unable to restrain himself. He wanted to prove himself too much, so that he was too dazzling and sensational. The use of slow motion was slightly redundant, and even interrupted his emotions abruptly.

In addition, in the climactic fighting scene of the third act, the unrestrained scheduling and editing lost the splendor of real swords and real guns. Compared with the fighting scenes in the first two acts, it is obviously inferior to the fighting scenes in the first two acts. The emotions that should be detonated here have fallen back. , which is undoubtedly a pity for commercial films.

At the peak of Hou Xiaochuan's creation, it was impossible for these flaws and shortcomings to appear. However, the overall quality is still eye-catching.

What's more~www.novelmt.com~ Lu Qian really likes Hou Xiaochuan's characteristic is that he can control the whole situation, from the grass-grey snake line in the first part to the second and third parts, and then form a grand overall situation, which is also Hou Xiaochuan. A specialty of being a journalist, I hope to make the series of movies reborn.

From this point of view, "Fast Pursuit" has successfully completed the tasks opened in the series, even higher than expected. Obviously, Hou Xiaochuan's sword is not old.

When the movie ended, the entire auditorium fell into darkness, and the audience did not make a sound. They quietly felt the moment when their hearts hit their chests. It was undoubtedly the most beautiful and moving moment of the whole night; then, the subtitles slowly moved up, and the auditorium was There was a warm applause.

Compared with words, applause is the most effective and direct means of expressing emotions. From sparse to vigorous, the applause gradually converged, bursting with incredible energy, lighting up the entire dome theater.

Even if I have experienced such a scene ten times a hundred times, every time I experience it again, I still can't help but feel a surge of emotions, reminding myself all the time:

What a beautiful movie.
