Chapter 113 "Riding the Wind and Waves"
The so-called laymen watch the excitement, while the expert watches the tricks.
Zhou Liming is still very familiar with film production, and of course he knows that this episode is definitely not easy to shoot.
"No wonder the production cost is more than 60 million!"
After sighing, Zhou Liming continued to watch the movie.
"Where am I?? So sad... I'll be dizzy for a while... No, I'm going to die. It's said that when a person's key is on, his life will flash in his mind. Will I?"
The next paragraph is a silent memory. Through several clips, it roughly illustrates the audience the short twenty years of Bailang’s life...
“…In the form of a silent film, it’s really...high-end!”
There are not many characters in this silent film. The first half is mainly about the daily life of father and son, and it manifests the image of a "crazy middle-aged man". Of course, how Bai Lang became a professional racer, and the filming was very humorous!
Especially that pure music, it fits the scene!
Of course, Zhou Liming also recognized that the old actor was Bai Xiaofei wearing makeup!
The flashback ended, and the four big words "Ride the Wind and Waves" appeared on the big screen!
“…It’s a bit long…”
After looking at the time, 12 minutes have passed...
However, Zhou Liming was still very happy and became more and more excited about the next story!
It can be clearly seen that Bai Xiaofei's progress in handling the camera should be free of problems with the smoothness of this movie.
...
In a blink of an eye, Bai Lang walked out of a KTV, and the routes along the street and the people around him were dressed in a 1990s style.
Bai Lang looked at the surrounding streets with a confused look on his face. Before he could figure out what was going on, he met an acquaintance.
"Teacher Chen?"
"Which classmate are you a parent?"
"I am Class 2, Grade 2, you are my class teacher. When you were young, you always hugged me and said, 'Bailang, Bailang, you must never be a person in the future!'"
"…Level 04? It's only 98 years old now! I'm crazy!"
The female teacher expressed two meanings in one sentence. The white waves traveled through time, and the timeline was 98 years!
Bai Lang felt incredible. When he was walking, he heard someone shouting to catch a thief, and rushed up without thinking.
The other party drew his sword, and he became timid. At this moment, a motorcycle rushed over, and then a masked young man fell from the sky.
"Damn it! Country Batman!"
There was a smile in the screening room.
Zhou Liming likes this funny way very much. He is not squeaking you hard, but uses a very high-level language to make you feel funny from the bottom of your heart!
Of course, this young man who rushed out must be Bai Lang’s father, Bai Zheng is so!
Zhou Liming, who has read countless movies, has probably guessed what will happen next. In fact, the skeleton of the entire story of "Riding the Wind and Waves" is nothing new. Whether it is a decades of time or a father-son relationship, it is an old routine that has been filmed and filmed. The key is to look at the details.
What kind of stuff can be filled with old bottles and new ones?
This is what reflects a director’s foundation!
This fight was very interesting, and the Q&A when I was caught in the police station was also very interesting.
The director is Li Liqun.
"I have been standing for one night, but you still haven't explained where you call!"
"I've already said it very clearly, but you can't understand!"
"Is this your document?"
"Yes, ID card!"
"That's what it means to be an ID card, you can see it clearly!"
There was another knowing smile in the screening room.
Except for mainland audiences who understand the first and second generation ID cards, no one else may understand it. Not to mention North America, even compatriots in Hong Kong and Taiwan must understand it!
"How many years have you been born?"
Deng Chao looked at the calendar on the table and answered seriously: "Next year!"
Li Liqun: "Haha, I think you can just answer the question by catching a bad guy for us? You have the right to remain silent, but you don't have the right to be nonsense, do you know?"
"Unexpectedly! Although it is an old joke, it can be called a surprise when it appears in a martial arts film!"
"The jokes are not dense, but the burden is very high-end!"
After writing two comments in a row, Zhou Liming continued to watch movies.
Next is the scene where Director Li asked to check Bai Lang's residence, Bai Lang and A Zheng met. Several actors appeared at the same time, Zhang Shan's June 1st, Dong Jian's Ma...
A very ordinary shot can also be handled very well. This is the embodiment of the director's skills. Of course, it is mainly better to choose the scenery!
...
"My dream is to only sing in KTV and take a shower in the sauna."
Bai Zheng, influenced by Hong Kong films, dreams of becoming Du Yuesheng, with middle-parted hair, and has straightforward and ridiculous ideas.
A simple relationship will allow Alang to understand what kind of person his father is!
Bai Lang gradually developed a good impression of his father.
Zhou Liming has been laughing happily. He has completely integrated into the story of "Riding the Wind and Waves". This is a very interesting time-travel story. The overall atmosphere is more warm and it also contains some plots of martial arts and action scenes.
To be honest, the plot along the way is very interesting and funny.
Especially when Deng Chao realized that Zhao Liying’s true identity was, the scene was dark humor!
It is not the visualization of jokes but the ups and downs of climax, and there is a little bitterness in the absurdity.
Social humor comes from the audience's hindsight, such as the changes in housing prices and DVD player prices, and the masterpiece is Xiao Ma played by Dong Jian. The exposure of his true identity is as funny as Zhao Liying's place, but it is more intriguing.
Of course he could see that the scene between Deng Chao and Zhao Liying was really a "tribute" "Back to the Future", where there were scenes where the son and mother who came from the future almost had sex...
He also knew that Xiao Ma's foreshadowing Li Ka-shing's foreshadowing "New Brothers and Brothers" was exactly the same!
But so what?
Just handle the details differently!
However, Zhou Liming was vaguely looking forward to how the movie would smooth things over.
For him, the biggest "turning point" of "Riding the Wind and Waves" is the re-understanding of Bai Xiaofei's narrative ability.
Strictly speaking, the narrative of "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven" is a bit scattered, but it is a road film, and the narrative is a trick to play to the strengths and avoid weaknesses.
In terms of film terms, it is a lack of dramatic tension. Bai Xiaofei is smart. He uses the black absurd scenes and golden sentence theory that he is good at creating to make up for this aspect.
Drama Zhang Li is the basic skill of "similarity" of the story. Of course, masters like Hou Xiaoxian are disdainful.
Xiaobai is definitely not a master, so this is his flaw!
Unexpectedly, "Riding the Wind and Waves" really gave him a surprise!
This is a very complete story, and the rhythm is well grasped, without the awkwardness and willfulness of a newcomer.
It should be said that in today's Chinese comedy movies, this "Riding the Wind and Waves" is relatively high-end, with a bit of literary temperament. Although it is not as strong as the literary temperament of Woody Allen's works and the sharpness of social critical comedy, it is better to have observation, pursuit, and the style is novel, which can be called a "small-town style comedy" - jokes are not as dense and crazy, but the burden is not low-level.
Chapter completed!
