Chapter 329: The Work Within (5/6)
To evaluate the quality of a movie, "The Art of Watching Movies" has already said it in detail.
Start with values, scripts, sentiments, artistic skills, production techniques, attitudes, and performances!
If the cast of a commercial film is pretty good, at least the movie is trying to come for the market, otherwise he would not have paid such a high pay.
If the attitude is good, then this movie is not something that is explicitly cheated or robbed;
The so-called attitude means not packaging yourself when promoting and distributing!
The most common packaging is sentiment. Sorry, I want to take "Love Cemetery" as an example again...
However, "Love Cemetery" did not make much money, and the shameless one should be "Later Us". Director Liu admitted the commercial nature of the film at the launch of the theme song of "Later Us", but after the box office success, he suddenly changed his words to - he supported the May Day love art film with his own strength.
It is obviously a commercial film, but it is sharpened and wants to drill into the restricted area of art films. Why?
Very high-quality!
He clearly told the mental journey of "Why did we cheat" from the perspective of a mistress, but he insisted on whining out something without hesitation, "Later, we learned how to love"...
Do you still need to learn if you love?
Just do it!
Ahem, back to the topic, if you follow the standards of "The Art of Watching Movies", "Tangshan Earthquake" is a masterpiece in any aspect!
Values, scripts, feelings, attitudes, performances, impeccable!
As for artistic skills and production techniques, the cost of 350 million is here, isn’t this sincerity?
Moreover, Tan Fei noticed a problem that many viewers did not expect: scale!
"Tangshan Earthquake" has a very large scale, and the exposed body is nothing. The key is that he mixed a plot in the plot. A propaganda car slowly drove, followed by two militiamen carrying guns, and a young girl broadcast on the car: The city's public security police were mobilized to be wary of someone robbing national property and making money from the national crisis. Once discovered, the law will be rectified on the spot and will never be ruthless!
This is the true human nature!
According to literature records, after the Tangshan earthquake, robbery on the ruins became wind...
Groups of suburban farmers drove carriages, drove hand-held tractors, carried hoes, picks, hammers, saws... and headed towards Tangshan like a raid of gold digging.
They are really robbery!
If the militia were not patrolling day and night, they would probably dare to rob banks and grain warehouses...
Tan Fei smiled and wrote down this...
At the end of the movie, many people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief. How to say that "The Great Tangshan Earthquake" is cruel, and then it gave the audience a channel to vent.
Fang Deng was rescued, which means hope is still there!
The hope of the nation is placed on the children, just like "Shintler's List". Spielberg used black and white when shooting this story, but the little girl appeared in red.
She was not conspicuous, it was not dazzling red. Even if it was red, it was still deep, which rekindled hope in the audience's hearts.
In the history of film, no matter how delicate and gorgeous the colors are used, they are not as red as this one, and are far away.
If this red color appears on an adult, it will not have such an effect!
Of course, when Spielberg filmed "Simtler's List", he didn't even think about making a profit, so he wanted to make a good movie.
So, "Shintler's List" is very heavy...
If Zhang Junsheng copied it completely, "Tangshan Earthquake" would of course be better in evaluation, but the box office would probably be a complete failure!
Tan Fei shook his head. He was not satisfied with such an ending. The real masterpiece should be that the whole family died...
But he can understand that if he really made such a film, the movie would probably be scolded to death by the audience.
...
"The movie is really good and humane. It's not about pain. I can walk out of the theater with a smile after watching it!"
"Yes, it's obviously cruel, but when I come out, I can feel hope. Zhang Junsheng is so awesome!"
"That little girl acted so well."
"Have you watched the opening commercial? He and Wang Qianyuan collaborated on "Room No. 7 Gift" to be released in September. We will watch it together then?"
"good…"
Walking out of the cinema, the audience was discussing "Tangshan Earthquake" in groups of three or three. Tan Fei was a little anxious and accelerated his pace...
The emergence of the Internet has led to everyone being able to write film reviews. There is a man named Europa. Every time a domestic movie is released, he will scold him, and then a group of fans will like him...
What's the thing?
The more ruthless the scolding, the more people like it?
When he got home, he quickly turned on his computer and started writing a movie review:
"Before the "Tangshan Earthquake" was released, some people criticized Zhang Junsheng for tearing up the scars of a nation. Those who did not praise him like this, the state machine and intellectuals have been helping the film industry to cover scars for so many years. I have not seen such a good deed in public theaters. It is said that Zhang Junsheng tearing up the scars is to expose the ineffective inspection of the review department."
"From the technical level, "Tangshan Earthquake" is indeed a breakthrough in a disaster film. Yes, I'm talking about a disaster film, not a domestic disaster film!"
"The scenes of disaster films that express disaster are undoubtedly the biggest highlight. Zhang Junsheng used handheld photography techniques that only war films have in "Tangshan Earthquake". A large number of handheld photography brings a strong sense of substitution to the viewer. The audience can clearly feel the camera shake caused by the earthquake and the continuous aftershocks, making the audience feel like they are in an earthquake zone."
"This is the first in film history!"
"In addition, the plot is very bold. In addition to showing family affection, it also restored some events of that year, such as smashing, looting..."
"The big earthquake, the script is impeccable, and the ending is a bit vulgar, but that is also a real event."
"To be honest, I still admire Zhang Junsheng very much. At least he dares to shoot! I have come into contact with many directors and companies. They are proud of it because they drink and talk to each other. They feel very mature in politics and have a very old grasp of the standards. This is actually a tragedy of a country's film and television creative power."
"I hope the Tangshan Earthquake" will be a hit at the box office!"
Of course, he can't just write this little, and he has to extend it. He has to make up two thousand words at all - it is related to the dignity of a professional film critic!
Posted on Weibo, he clicked on Douban and wanted to see the reviews.
It's OK, with a rating of 8.8 points, and most of the people who gave bad reviews were navy soldiers because their "film reviews" were very similar to "waste money and time", "bad movies are not explained", "I feel disgusted when I see Zhang Junsheng"...
Zhang Junsheng is a director, he is not an actor...
Smile disdainfully, it has become the norm for the navy to discredit him!
However, it doesn't matter. Yuehua Media must have hired the navy and everyone interacted with each other.
At this moment, the text message on the mobile phone arrived, and the bank reminded him to make 8,000 yuan, and there was another text message: "You have to worry, this is the payment fee..."
Tan Fei smiled, Zhang Junsheng became more and more sensible!
He didn't know that the so-called payment fee was done by the public relations department behind Zhang Junsheng's back.
Chapter completed!
