Hou Xiling's script is very interesting, especially the supporting characters, which are given great attention.
Shu Payen did not start his writing from the perspective of the male and female protagonists. Once the movie was broadcast, there must have been countless reviews praising the male and female protagonists. He did not need to add any more glory. What made him worthy of entering the movie twice was the character Jiang Se.
"When I watched "The Rescue", this girl left a deep impression on me. "
He began with this sentence, recalling the moment when Doukou appeared in "The Prosperity of Peking". It was a pleasing scene to him, like a new bud on the branch in the sunny day after the snow in February. It looked like it had just formed green buds, but in fact it had already experienced the oppression of frost and snow. So the moment before she was still sadly missing her dead family, sitting in the opera garden and crying, and the next moment she became a cruel woman. The transformation of the character image was not at all inconsistent.
That kind of elegance and sharpness is really hard to forget.
Shu Pei'en is not young anymore. People of his age have different appreciation for girls from that of young men who only look at appearance. He pays more attention to the charm of a beauty rather than just her face. What is rare about Jiang Se is that she has portrayed the elegance of a lady from the Republic of China era. This trait can be rarely seen in people in the circle today.
"The Dou family was destroyed on the 7th, so every 7th of the month, Doukou would go to Tianqiao Street to listen to the same play. Lin Xiwen did not use extra words to elaborate on Doukou's longing for her family, but from the side, she highlighted Doukou's nostalgia for the past, which gave us a glimpse into the girl's heart. "
In her conversation with Xiao Zi before she died, when she said, "You think I'm a withered woman," her eyes were wide open, and she held back her tears, as if her character was just like her, stubborn and unwilling to give in.
'When Xiao Zi said she was promiscuous, she got angry and argued. On the surface, she was refuting Xiao Zi's point of view, but in fact, she was protesting against this society through Xiao Zi, and she was unwilling to succumb to this filthy world. She recognized Xiao Zi, but Xiao Zi had long since forgotten her. The difference between men and women in their views on love was also pointed out by Hou Xiling to the audience. Xiao Zi had not changed, and it was the human heart that had changed, but he was unaware of it.'
'Shutters always thought that his fiancée was dead. This viewpoint that he insisted on from the beginning to the end of the film is also very interesting. In my opinion, it has two meanings. One is that the pure cardamom has long been dead in Shutters' heart. The other is that even if she is still alive, she is no different from being dead in Shutters' heart. She is only worthy of remembrance, not worthy of getting close to. After all, in that era, a single woman who could survive the tragedy of the destruction of her family and the death of her loved ones would experience what Shutters should be able to imagine.'
'At the beginning of filming, I heard that some people were against Jiang Se playing Doukou, but after watching the movie, I was glad that Lin Xiwen insisted on her choice.'
'It was because of his persistence that Doukou came to life, and later, holding an umbrella, he got off the car, walked into the opera house, and walked into my heart, the beautiful and slightly sad Doukou.'
As soon as Shu Pain's film review was written and uploaded to the Time Review forum, many netizens were still awake. After receiving his latest updates, many fans who followed Shu Pain were in disbelief and left messages under the Time Review column for Shu Pain.
He has rarely written film reviews in recent years. In addition to the fact that the films produced by the film industry today are mainly commercial films, the literary and fresh style is buried in various popcorn commercial blockbusters, which stimulate people's eyes and senses but are difficult to leave a deep impression on people. In addition, there are many directors who are eager for quick success and investors who are eager to recover their costs. They use all means to attract attention, mainly relying on stars and gimmicks. It is difficult for anyone to calm down and make a good film, which naturally makes it difficult to resonate with Shu Payen, and he has not written many film reviews.
But he wrote two long reviews in recent months. Careful people noticed that both reviews were about Jiang Se.
In addition to the majority of Shu Peien's fans who were curious about "Beijing Events" because of his film reviews, some people also left a message under Shu Peien's column asking:
The wind blows and the flag moves: I noticed that in the two movies that Mr. Shu wrote about recently, both of them focused on Jiang Se. As far as I know, Jiang Se is now signed to Century Galaxy, and his agent is Xia Chaoqun. Century Galaxy has a lot of money and power, and it is hard for me to believe that a newcomer has such outstanding acting skills. "Peking Events" has been hyped since its release, and all major public accounts have praised it unanimously. I thought that Mr. Shu should be fair and just in his comments on the times, and there should still be a piece of pure land in the film criticism circle, but now it seems, I am disappointed. Could it be that Mr. Shu has also been manipulated by public relations
Shu Peien has praised Jiang Se twice in a row, and the comment left by the ID "风吹旗动" was quickly pushed up by others. Many people in the comment area were convinced of Shu Peien's character. Some refuted him, while others were as skeptical as he was.
A quarter of an hour later, Shupein replied:
At my age, what can promote my work is not money or interests, but the future of Chinese films and the efforts of actors and directors.
His words were sonorous and powerful, and won the unanimous approval of many netizens. The ID named '风吹旗动' finally came back to leave a message:
Maybe I haven't watched the movie yet, so my words may be biased. I decided to change my previous idea and go to the cinema to watch "Beijing Event" tomorrow. If it is really as you said, I will sincerely apologize to you. If it is a bad movie, then I'm sorry, your image in my heart will fall again and again from now on.
He did not appear again. At this time in Longxing Studio, Tao Tao would take advantage of the time between overtime to refresh the score of "Beijing Event" in the film database.
It's almost one o'clock now. The midnight premiere of "Beijing Event" should not be finished yet. The rating is not high, and there are not many comments under the trailer. Most of the people who left comments were attracted by the scene where Jiang Se appeared with an umbrella at the China Film Festival.
She checked the number of fans on Jiang Se's social media account again. This has almost become her daily routine. She was delighted to find that Jiang Se's fans had increased by several hundred compared to yesterday. She then visited the Times Commentary column and typed in the words "Beijing Events", and immediately found Shu Peien's film review.
It was already the middle of the night, but Shu Peien's column was extremely lively, with comments constantly refreshing and popping up every minute. It had only been about twenty minutes since he posted his film review, but already more than three thousand people had responded!
While Tao Tao was happy for Jiang Se, she was also shocked by Shu Payne's film review.
In the past, she only knew that Shu Payen was very famous and was known as the number one film critic in China, but Tao Tao couldn't tell exactly what he was famous for or what made him good. She only knew that he was well-known.
But now I read his film review again. When I watched "Beijing Events", I saw the beauty of young girls, the cruelty of the world, the impermanence of the world, and the tricks of fate. Shu Peien went deep into the soul and flesh of the characters. (To be continued)
