This is already the third year that Su Xingchen and Cheng Kangyao have spent together. Although they are not in China, they still live a very sweet and warm life.
They went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients by themselves, and when they came back, the two of them worked together to cook a sumptuous... hot pot.
Winter in Berlin is still very cold, hot, it is their breath, body temperature, and heart.
The first domestic premiere is at the midnight show, from ten to twelve o'clock.
I have to say that the tone and theme of the movie "Prison Bully" is really not suitable for the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.
So the audience on the first day were basically Su Xingchen's fans.
At this time, the working-class people had already gone back to work, and the movie theater was not so lively, but there were still many people who came to the movie theater to watch movies, mainly students who were still on winter vacation.
In particular, many of them are Shamate non-mainstream.
Perhaps it is because Su Xingchen was the reason for killing Matt in the past. Those who once said to kill Matt, and those who are still killing Matt in front of them now, have a very high degree of admiration for Su Xingchen. It can be said that they are loyal , They are the group of people who defend Su Xingchen the most.
Even if they have no interest in the movie.
They like to watch movies with strong visual effects such as "Transformers" and "Iron Man" most of the day. Movies with strong artistic and social aspects like "Prison Bully" are not good for them.
Even if you are in a relationship, watch a romance movie. There is no love story in this movie, it is all about women. First of all, most of the young people who watch movies just for love are excluded.
Plus it's Chinese New Year, everyone wants to watch some light-hearted, funny and refreshing movies, who wants to watch some literary movies.
No matter how good the shot is, it doesn't look good!
But they went to see it, just to support Su Xingchen.
There are also some fans who are looking for Su Xingchen's appearance.
When "Prison Bully" was released in China, the time for the Lunar New Year holiday has basically passed, and they have already watched many movies during the Chinese New Year. There are not so many choices, so they went to see Su Xingchen's face, the plot It doesn't matter what, and I never had any expectations, as long as I have a beautiful face.
There are still very few fans and film critics of Director Lin.
Critics are still looking forward to this film, which was nominated for the Berlin Film Festival.
In fact, after the film was nominated for the Berlin Film Festival, there were already reviews on the Internet, all of which were screenshots of the reviews from Europe, translated, and posted on the Internet.
The heat is not small.
Because foreign film critics gave good reviews of this movie, it made domestic fans proud.
Su Xingchen's fans, in particular, are very happy, but domestic audiences actually don't like the nomination of the Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award. The higher the evaluation of foreign film critics, the less interested they are.
Of course, if the evaluation is low, there is even less interest.
Therefore, even if many of the previous Lunar New Year films are about to be released, and with the addition of Su Xingchen, Director Lin and Berlin Film Festival nominations, the number of films scheduled for the midnight screening of "Prison Bully" is still not high.
Unexpectedly, the attendance rate was not bad, reaching more than 85%.
Looking around, half of them are killing Matt!
Many viewers felt that they had lowered their class and taste when they saw themselves staying in the same movie theater with so many killers.
If it wasn't for liking Su Xingchen/Director Lin...
There was a lot of noise in the screening hall. Some old-school film critics looked around in the theater, and they were half-killed. They were not used to it. They moved their bodies and looked left and right. 'Will you make trouble for him, such as robbery and fights or something.
But even if they troubled him, he wouldn't say anything good about Su Xingchen's movie because of it, instead he would be more venomous.
He had already thought about how to scold Su Xingchen.
Director Lin's level is still guaranteed, the film was nominated but failed to win an award, it is probably Su Xingchen's fault.
She had just filmed "The Lord of the Martial Arts" before, and she was still a vase role, and she suddenly took the lead in such a movie... The old-school film critics have quickly imagined one, two, three, four in the capital operation.
Soon, the advertisement passed, the movie started, and the auditorium fell silent.
The old-school film critics sat upright and concentrated on watching the movie.
At the beginning of the movie, there are a group of girls who are like little sisters, holding a dirty bucket in their hands, a bucket of unknown water mixed with muddy water, pouring their heads on a girl's head, insulting her in the toilet, punching her feet Kick.
It was late autumn, and the drenched girl was lying in the corner of the toilet, shivering from the cold.
This is a very old-fashioned beginning, nothing new.
The old-school film critics thought silently, but the beginning was straight to the point.
Movies against school violence and domestic violence are all like this, the colors, shooting techniques, and plot look pretty good.
Su Xingchen's fans felt bored.
The last thing they want to watch is such a movie, if not for watching Su Xingchen...
Soon, the girl came home with a fever, and came to school the next day, and Su Xingchen appeared.
When Su Xingchen appeared on stage, almost all the audience were staring at her face.
For them, the significance of watching this movie lies in Su Xingchen's face.
But the first thing they noticed was not her face, but her temperament.
She is also a bit stern and carefree, wearing a dark blue and white school uniform, sitting at the back of the class, frowning slightly, looking out of the window calmly, just one look can tell the rebellion in this girl's heart.
Then the class bell rang, and she turned her head to look at the front of the classroom. The girl who had been raped just entered the class, shy and timid, with an abnormal flush on her face.
Before this, the pace of the movie was very slow, but here the pace suddenly picks up. When she realized that her friend was wrong, she questioned her and found out that she was being bullied by the campus, so she helped her friend stand out. Violent, the previously suppressed breath seemed to suddenly explode!
However, what film critics noticed was not only the plot and rhythm of this episode, he, who has watched countless movies, also noticed this episode of fighting.
This is a real fight.
It's wonderful, wonderful and real.
It's so wonderful that it makes people misunderstand that this is simply a shooting technique for commercial films, but because it's a long shot, everyone can see that the heroine is really high in strength.
This reminds people that Su Xingchen also has a character set of a martial arts girl.
I haven't seen her make a move for several years, except for her earliest fans, everyone has almost forgotten that she is still the head of the Xingxiu faction.
This episode is over, the excitement is over, the audience's spirits have been fully mobilized, and they sat up straight, but the film critics frowned.
Like the judges of the Berlin Film Festival, he felt that Su Xingchen's fight scene was too 'commercial' and too entertaining.
Already with such a brisk rhythm and refreshing point, this fight scene is really unflattering in the award-winning film.
However, this is a long shot of more than one minute, without any cuts at all, and Director Lin kept it all.
It can also be seen from this that Director Lin has a preference for Su Xingchen.
But film critics feel that this is Director Lin's compromise with Su Xingchen's popularity and box office.
Just when everyone felt very happy, the aggrieved and realistic plot reappeared.
The heroine Xi Rui was imprisoned in the early stage of the college entrance examination.
This is basically an ending with a ruined future, and the audience feels depressed and depressed by such a plot.
In such a dull and depressing plot and atmosphere, the heroine is imprisoned and bullied by old criminals. The simple, direct and rude heroine once again uses her force to establish her position in the prison, and will bully her two The inmates were beating all over the floor looking for teeth!
Is a small climax ~ tide.
The audience likes to watch the plot where the heroine kills the Quartet, but the film critics frowned again.
No wonder the film was only nominated, but not awarded.
Lin Zhou simply played the rhythm to the extreme!
It is obviously a movie with such a realistic and depressing tone, but when the audience is almost too aggrieved, there will always be a hearty explosion.
And the character of the heroine is also very subversive of the character of the heroine of the previous literary and artistic films. It is forgotten that most of the heroines of literary and artistic films have a bitter and bitter personality, but the heroine of this movie is rarely simple and rude.
So far, the overall tone of the film is more like a commercial film than a literary film.
Just when the film critics thought that the movie was just like this, the movie began to use interludes to describe the personalities and experiences of each character in the prison, the experience and changes of the heroine's friend, and various events after the second heroine entered the prison. Yi Zai seems to be quite refreshing, but in fact, the various violence they experienced in childhood and adolescence are displayed sharply and bloodily in front of the audience like a forcefully torn wound.
Obviously it is a movie against violence, but the heroine uses violence to solve the matter. It seems to be resolved, but she puts herself in jail and loses under various "relationships".
He was imprisoned at the age of eighteen and spent four years in prison.
Four years later, those former classmates had graduated from college, and she had just come out of prison.
She only knows how to fight and paste matchboxes, and her family members are not only worried about her because of her imprisonment, but also feel ashamed among relatives and friends.
The heroine is like a light that appeared in these people's lives, bringing a slight change in their lives.
But who is her light
At the end of the movie, the heroine is released from prison, and those people who have been changed because of her seem to have been redeemed by her. The young woman stands at the gate of the prison, looking at the still gray sky outside the prison, her eyes are confused.
She was walking on the desolate road outside the prison without looking back, leaving only a dark shadow behind her. As she walked at the end of the road, she became smaller and smaller, and the camera shot became longer and longer...
After reading it, everyone felt very heavy.
There was a long silence.
This movie is so realistic, so real.
Some of the "hidden rules" in it, the heroine didn't need to sit in prison for such a long time, but in the end she sat in prison for four years, and what about the person who committed violence? After being violently retaliated by her, she can still study abroad and study.
They are angry and depressed, but they know clearly that this is reality, and reality may be crueler than movies.
This is also the reason why this movie was first released abroad.
This is already the edited version, the version at the Berlin Film Festival, which is even more cruel and bloody than this, but such cruelty is hidden under the small climaxes that erupt again and again.
Obviously it was very refreshing when I watched it, but I couldn't feel better after watching it, it was heavy.
Shamates are actually not very good at evaluating movies. They just think this movie is good, and it is better than they expected. It makes them who hardly watch social-themed "artistic" movies feel that the filming is too good. alright.
The heroine also acted well, so good that they completely forgot that that person was Su Xingchen when they were watching it, and were completely drawn into it by the plot and her acting skills. They even forgot to pay attention to her appearance and forgot about them. I came here to look at the face, and forgot to look at the face.
So another thought popped up in their hearts: they must do it twice!
