Chapter 759: The Warlords Premiere

There is a steelyard between heaven and earth, and the weights are the common people.

Film art also has a scale, and the scale is the audience.

No matter how many artists, film critics, and professional filmmakers give the movie praise or criticism, it will ultimately come down to the approval of the audience. In the final analysis, the movie is also meant to please the audience. If it cannot resonate with the viewer, what is the so-called art? It's like a flower in the mirror.

The movie started to play, and the first scene was not shocking. It can only be said that it was a little desolate and sad against the background of the tone.

War makes life as cheap as grass. A small local battlefield can be covered with corpses and the fields are littered with corpses.

Jet Li's appearance is relatively decadent. His style and overall makeup not only give the audience an overall understanding. The characters in the whole film look roughly like this. If you want to see the golden helmet and golden armor, they are as gorgeous as golden armor. You can no longer see scenes like night banquets here. Here, the cruelty of war will be imprinted on everyone's face.

Pang Qingyun, Liansheng, Zhao Erhu, Jiang Wuyang...

The four main characters appear on stage. The evergreen old handsome guy Andy Lau is full of beard, and the handsome guy Chen Hao is no longer as dazzling as before. You will see their celebrity status, but you will also see them. Looking at the roles they played, one would not be too busy looking at celebrities to forget who Pang Qingyun, Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang are.

The plot advances very quickly, and the scene switching in non-war scenes is also very fast. However, with Chen Kexin's delicacy, his fast switching will not cause an abrupt feeling, but the connection of small details will allow you to see clearly. The entire plot advances to understand the entire story.

The first thing that attracts everyone is the suspense of a cliched love and hatred story between two brothers and a woman. Although this suspense will attract everyone, it also makes people feel that it is too cliche and does not have much expectations. It is nothing more than brothers turning against each other, but they don’t know it. , in this woman, the really enjoyable scene has nothing to do with the two brothers, but the scene where the third brother kills his sister-in-law, which is definitely the surprise among surprises.

The battle scenes are great. In such a simple tone, and without the actors wearing gorgeous costumes, the battle between the three main characters can still create a wonderful feeling. It is very enjoyable in the eyes of the audience.

I'm afraid I haven't seen something, and I'm afraid I've seen too much.

The gorgeous ancient fighting style has been commonplace for a long time. No matter how you do it, everyone’s expectations are not very high. Now suddenly there is a reversal of the style. Jet Li is wearing cotton clothes and trousers, and the whole person looks a bit bloated. Chen Hao didn't have any beautiful armor to show off his body shape, so he fought a sharp battle in a completely realistic style, trying to restore the real battle situation on the battlefield as much as possible. It seemed a little cruel, but it made the audience nod frequently, and felt that this was the It is a real battlefield, not the one that everyone has seen all along, where the generals are in golden armor and the soldiers are neat and tidy with slogans.

In an era when there is not enough to eat, everything is false and nonsense.

The three bosses with distinct characteristics bring everyone more visual enjoyment layer by layer, and also allow the plot to advance with sufficient visual impact. Because the plot pursues authenticity, He Kui and Sangong no longer deliberately cater to the vague historical background of the overseas market. , their characters are clearer, their roles are clearer, and they are no longer the stereotyped characters in the first version. Needless to say, the scenes of several veteran actors are not inferior to the protagonists at all, and they have a good sense of the characters. , which makes you feel that even if you hate it, you can only blame the times for playing tricks on you.

Slowly moving from abjection to success, one general succeeds and tens of thousands of bones are withered. When the scene where Jet Li orders the massacre of the surrendered soldiers comes, the sense of the scene between the three brothers has fallen apart. It is no longer the feeling of the three brothers working together when attacking the city. , At that time, the three brothers were a trident, their sharp metal attack was invincible. Now, when Jiang Wuyang said that the eldest brother is right, the eldest brother is right, the three brothers are no longer standing in a circle. Maybe eat the same bowl of rice again.

Pang Qingyun's great ambition requires a stronger self and more militarized management to be possible.

Zhao Erhu's great ambition is just to be able to feed and clothe the brothers who follow him. We work hard to get everything we never dared to think of. I promised those brothers, I promised them to live, then I will Keep your promises.

Jiang Wuyang's life has been changed by Pang Qingyun, and he can't bear it. He also feels that if he speaks out, he must keep his promise, but what he said is right. I should listen to him. If he gives me the order, then shoot the bow and arrow.

The performances of the three people started a conflicting confrontation at this moment. It is said that Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung Chiu-wai's acting skills are unparalleled. In fact, after many years of experience, Andy Lau has already acquired acting skills that are not inferior to Tony Leung Chiu-wai. However, everyone's fixed understanding has always been that the two There is a slight gap; as for Jet Li, the kung fu superstar's poor acting skills are not absolute. When a natural role appears, you will find that every scene is performed like a duck in water. Pang Qingyun is just like Jet Li. After getting the script, the character is fully formed in his mind and can be enriched anytime and anywhere.

The audience saw Pang Qingyun, who was as comfortable as a fish in water.

I saw Zhao Erhu, performing scenes with rich layers of emotions that really broke my heart.

Chen Hao's Jiang Wuyang gave everyone a huge surprise at this moment. Many people even felt that this scene was what Chen Kexin had always said that Chen Hao's performance had a huge surprise.

A few arrows were fired, and several levels of performance were fully displayed on his face. The values ​​that had been formed by following his second brother in the past were completely dissipated in these arrows, and entered into the values ​​created by his eldest brother.

If Pang Qingyun and Zhao Erhu were two gradually conflicting cold tones, then Jiang Wuyang, who was the transitional harmonizing color in the middle, was here, slowly leaning towards his eldest brother, breaking the balance of the three people, and Zhao Erhu began to become the weak party in this group, losing his voice.

The story doesn't have so many ups and downs that people can't guess. If you deliberately hide or change all of this in a remake, the result will be that the audience will find it incomprehensible. Chen Kexin did not show his "ability" in this regard, and relatively conventionally let the story develop to the current state. Pang Qingyun finally succeeded. He felt that he could do something big. As a local lord, he could make some requests in front of Lao Foye and show his grand ambitions. He asked for tax relief for the people, which he felt was the first step in his grand ambitions. Faced with forming a party and pursuing private interests, he chose not to go with the flow. He wanted to be a clear stream in the whole chaotic world and save the people from the water and fire. He also wanted to tell his brothers that what I did was right.

The helplessness of the troubled times, even if you are in the position of Pang Qingyun, it doesn't matter if you are in a high position, your fate is still in the hands of others. In the process of Jiang Wuyang killing Pang, people only need to arrange a gunman to hide in the dark and get rid of you in one go. After you die, no one will be entangled in how you, Pang Qingyun, died. This is the helplessness of that era. Those who do not go along with the crowd are enemies.

We have no hatred, but you blocked my life of luxury and blocked my expansion of power. Sorry, you are my enemy.

Jiang Wuyang found out about his eldest brother and his second sister-in-law. He was struggling. In that era when women had a low status, even a sister-in-law who was like a mother was not as good as the friendship between brothers in Jiang Wuyang's mind.

The eldest brother killed the second brother, and the third brother killed his sister-in-law. Everyone's determination has their own truth, and everyone's killing is also full of inner pain. The four people all exploded in the performances of these scenes. When Andy Lau was killed, he was still thinking about informing his brothers to be careful. He never thought that it was his brother who killed him. From this point of view, Zhao Erhu's solution is still happy. At least he still has fire in his heart, and he is warmed by the brotherhood he recognizes.

When Zhao Erhu died, there were sighs in the theater, and even some female audiences shed tears for him, a character who is the most loyal and righteous in the eyes of modern people, and felt that the only good man in the play died like this.

When Liansheng was killed by Jiang Wuyang, many people watched it with the mentality of relieving hatred, watching Xu Jinglei's panic and nervousness in the performance, realizing that her brother was going to kill her, and the fear of pretending to be calm, which was performed vividly by Xu Jinglei, but the audience could not receive such a performance, so everyone felt so satisfied that this woman was finally going to be killed, and gave a thumbs up to Jiang Wuyang and Chen Hao.

Few viewers will dig deep into everything about this woman. Her tragedy lies in that if she escaped at the beginning of the plot, she might be happy to meet Pang Qingyun. If she did not escape and went back, she would meet Pang Qingyun instead. Then she would be a villain in the eyes of modern people, and even like Jiang Wuyang, she felt that the brothers turned against each other because of her.

Really? She is just a poor person, and she has never thought about hurting anyone. It's just that between love and family affection, she finally chose love. For Pang Qingyun, it is the kind of love a woman has for a man, and for Zhao Erhu, it is a grateful family affection.

The tragic story came to an end amidst the fratricide. Many viewers who like the family-friendly ending felt like they were holding their breath and couldn't let it out. They were very uncomfortable and depressed.

However, the audience who watched the film with the main creators in the premiere hall opened their eyes wide. The film has been very well combined in terms of both visual sense and artistry. A delicate director like Chen Kexin has integrated his delicateness into the big scenes of the blockbuster, giving this commercial blockbuster the kind of depth that an art film should have. It is very enjoyable to watch.
