From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Chapter 49: Carmen...and the kiss scene

In the cinema, Zhou He was seated in the middle row at the back.

For her, this is the best location, where she can not only have a better viewing experience, but also observe the reaction of most of the audience.

As the film "Eight Hundred" was showing halfway through, especially after Chen Shusheng jumped, the whole film reached its first climax.

Zhou He noticed that in the dark movie hall, waves of low sobbing began to come out one after another.

Especially the couple in the seat in front of her. The girl seemed to be crying, and the boy next to her was secretly wiping his tears.

Zhou He was slightly different from the others. He even held a mobile phone in his hand and recorded something in a memo from time to time.

In the dark theater, the fluorescent light of the mobile phone shone on her face, which even made her look a little too calm.

Because Zhou He is not just a spectator, she runs a film review public account and is also a somewhat well-known amateur film critic on a certain page.

In other words, she came to the movie with a mission.

Therefore, in addition to being a movie audience, she also has to put her mind into evaluating the movie from many aspects. Naturally, it is difficult for her to be fully immersed in the emotions of a movie like ordinary viewers.

"The special effects and war scenes are realistic and majestic, the details are very exquisite, and the techniques and atmosphere rendering are first-class, but..."

His fingers quickly recorded key points on the phone screen, then stopped.

In Zhou He's view, this movie can already be regarded as a relatively successful commercial blockbuster, but it can be said that it is inconsistent with the publicity strategy of "restoring the true history" promoted by director Guan Hu at the beginning.

Going in the opposite direction.

To put it simply, the film somewhat commits the tendency of historical nihilism.

But in terms of the details and the creation of the story, it is somewhat suspected of being sensational for the sake of sensationalism.

Of course, in terms of atmosphere creation and scenes, it is undeniable that it is at the top level among domestic films of the same type.

Zhou He could even predict that the film "Eight Hundred" would definitely rely on this to achieve good box office success, but in terms of word-of-mouth, it would inevitably be polarized.

There are audiences who are moved by the atmosphere of the movie, and there are also audiences who feel that there is a blowfly mixed in the delicacy because the film contradicts history.

As a popular and vicious tongue-in-cheek influencer on certain platforms, in addition to her sharp vision, she also has a unique angle in analyzing films.

Zhou He went out of her way to get to know the creators of this film before watching the movie. Not only that, because it was an ensemble cast, she even did some research on most of the named characters.

The most important thing is of course director Guan Hu.

After the reform and opening up, a large amount of Western culture poured in. Guan Hu, a group of filmmakers known as the sixth generation, studied Western classic drama theory in drama schools. On the one hand, they accepted Western concepts of humanistic sentiments, and on the other hand, they

In my heart, I still have the Eastern concept of family and country.

This makes it easy for him to be seen by the public as a director who likes to "smuggle in private goods".

For example, Ding Zhi complained to Wang Qianyuan before that among the 13 minutes that were deleted, the scene in which the movie star Wanwan was deleted to the last bit was filled with Guan Hu's desire to express the feelings of the monk, the country, and the world.

Here, I suddenly wanted to discuss the complexity of human nature and the small thoughts of a big country and stupid people.

It's really unfair to be scolded for having a crooked butt.

In addition, there are some casting choices in the film that made Zhou He's eyes shine.

The old abacus played by Zhang Yi who is greedy for life and afraid of death to the extreme, and Bing Youzi played by Wang Qianyuan, actually exerted themselves to the extreme in the effective space.

But Zhou He knew a lot about these actors and knew that they were at their normal level, so it was not a big surprise.

Instead, the younger generation of actors like Ye Haoran, Wei Chen, and Yu Haoming brought her quite a surprise.

Especially Chen Shusheng, played by Yu Fei, aside from the deliberately sensational angle of the film, he indeed beautifully contributed to the film's first emotional breaking point.

Zhou He is not actually a very professional film critic. She even worked in a certain eight-part group for a while, so she often prefers to analyze a film and television drama from a "human" perspective.

Start analyzing.

This will certainly make her opinions and analysis somewhat preconceived and subjective, but so what, anyway, she is just an ordinary wild film critic, and her audience also likes to hear it.

"Huh?"

Zhou He's attention was suddenly attracted by a figure on the screen.

It was a somewhat mediocre smoking shot.

With long hair, a suit, and overalls, he leaned against the wall with his head tilted, looking careless with his knife, and stared at the front not far away with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Staring at the gangsters who fell on the bridge one after another after gunshots were fired in order to deliver telephone lines to the soldiers in Sifang Warehouse.

Smoke came out of his mouth and lingered around his eyes, as if he was watching indifferently.

Zhou He had some impression of this figure. He seemed to be the little ruffian guarding the bridge at the beginning of the film to refuse the soldiers entry.

Later, it also appeared several times as a background board.

In this film, which is an ensemble cast, the total screen time of the character named Knife is estimated to be less than one minute.

But Zhou He concluded based on her extensive film reading experience that since the main point of view was given to this character, the little ruffian named Daozi would definitely have an important role in the next few minutes.

Because there is a saying in dramas: "If a gun appears at the beginning of a scene, it will definitely go off by the end."

...

...

"These children are all born to their parents!"

"Zhuan Zhu wants to leave the truth..."

"Then... let's sing and pick a tackle at night?"

"Changbanpo! Let's kill him seven times in and seven out!"

In fact, after seeing this, Zhou He had already anticipated what would happen next.

However, even if she expected it, she still couldn't stop the amazing temperament that the actor who played Knife exuded from the inside out.

When Ding Zhi smoked a cigarette, narrowed his eyes, took off his suit and put it on a child next to him, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This does not mean simply being handsome in appearance or simply speaking about the quality of your acting skills.

But there is such a strong special feeling that this person is the absolute protagonist at this moment!

The lines spoken by the people in the troupe seemed to be voice-overs for him.

He bowed his hands to Sister Rong in the room and said goodbye, as if saying, "Go and come back."

On the train, I threw out the only coat I had left on me and threw it to a beggar who would never even look at me.

He cut his finger with a knife that never left his body and pressed the blood mark, "Bashu Chamber of Commerce, Lujiang Hall! I petition with my knife!"

A knife was stuck straight into the ground, just like his back was also straight.

"Disciple has been running fast since he was a child! I am willing to give it a try!"

.......

.......

The knife is dead.

Sobs resounded in the theater again, especially from the couple in front of Zhou He. The girl was crying so hard that she was afraid of passing away, as if her boyfriend next to him had died.

Zhou He has actually become immune to the routine of "Eight Hundred".

It's nothing more than emotional underlining and the use of sensational routines.

But it still couldn't hide Zhou He's amazing feeling for this actor.

She quietly searched the cast list on her phone.

"Ding Zhi, "Idol Trainee" debuts..."

Zhou He's eyes lit up unknowingly. She knew how to create a film review with a unique angle!
