Yang Xiaomi was really a little scared. She didn't expect that the film "Border Storm" would be like this!

The atmosphere is very good, the story narrative is jumpy, the actors don’t have many lines, but their acting skills are outstanding and the characters are delicate. These are not the key points. What surprised her the most was the texture of this movie.

Texture is a very high-level vocabulary, including audio-visual language, light and shadow presentation and art design.

Let’s take an example: Many movies have good plots and high box offices, but they just feel uncomfortable. For example, "33 Days of Love Break" has a very typical TV series that is too strong!

The meaning of movies itself is to withdraw from the real life intention to establish a new worldview, but it is still inseparable from the inextricable connection between each element and the objective world.

The credibility of the story is important!

The basic settings must be convincing!

"Border Storm" tells the story of Sun Honglei who wants to wash his hands and finish his last vote. His interpretation makes the whole story very credible!

In fact, the overall character design, art design and props of "Tiny Times" are quite remarkable; but the attention to details is not just about the costumes and objects; the credibility of the scene is particularly important, no one wants to believe that such a story will happen, which is the most deadly thing.

Speaking of Yang Mi, at the beginning, she took on "Border" with the attitude of poverty alleviation. She didn't read carefully at all what to watch. She didn't know how much Lu Xiaoran is?

How do she say what she feels now?

Just like one day you find that a friend you are familiar with is actually a big shot in the industry!

Yang Xiaomi is not an ordinary audience. She has a high number of views and clearly sees which films Lu Xiaoran borrowed in "Border".

The most obvious one is the chapter-like narrative structure, which is Quentin Tarantino's usual technique.

Chapter 1 ‘Dog’, the police discovered the drug dealer. The lights in the corridor, the darkness in the room, the shots aiming at the crack in the bottom door, and the drug dealer shot at the door. Especially the performance of this process and the method of creating a tense atmosphere were exactly the same as the Coen brothers’ "The Old Nowhere to Belong to Old".

In the second chapter of "Past Events", the character played by Sun Honglei has a murderous intention to kill his godfather's own son and plans a conspiracy to seize power.

He wrapped a towel around the pistol to silence the sound, walked straight to the bedroom and killed the sleeping boss, which showed obvious signs of imitating "The Godfather Ii".

In "The Godfather Ii", the young Victor Corleon used almost the same method to kill the arrogant gang leader, determined his gang status in the Italian settlement, and began his own career from then on.

The scene where Sun Honglei's men massacred aliens uses a large number of flashback shots, almost copying McCorreon's performance of cleaning other families in "The Godfather I".

It must be said that even if it is imitation, Lu Xiaoran imitated it in a very good manner, and there was no bad shot of the four-way characters due to the failure of the imitation!

"Border"...is just his first movie!

I looked at him with admiration.

Lu Xiaoran didn't think so much. He thought Yang Mi was thinking about her performance, so he advised: "You performed well and can support the big close-up!"

Yang Mi suddenly thought of something and asked quickly: "...You asked Teacher Zhang Guoli to teach me?"

"Yes, he...he likes to teach people how to act. I just don't do it well, so I can use it for the best of my life!"

"Thanks…"

"...What's there to thank for? Go back to the room to rest quickly," he waved his hand at her, and Xiao Luzi held Tangtang's hand and left the elevator directly...

...

The next day, several people appeared at the airport wearing big sunglasses.

Lu Xiaoran doesn't like wearing things on his face, so he just puts his blood-covered eyes.

No one had a good rest...

The itinerary is very tight. I have to fly to Shanghai to travel to several cinemas, then go to Hangzhou and Nanjing to do promotion. The day after tomorrow, I have to go to Wuhan and Changsha...

There is no way. Now that the commercial market is open, it is all about exposure. If you don’t grab the audience, others will grab it!

Don’t forget that there are more than just "Border" released in the same period!

The group got on the plane and quickly took a break. When Lu Xiaoran leaned on the plane's chair and slept in a dark place,

After a night of fermentation, "Border Storm" has received comprehensive media reports, or comments from film critics:

"The director has a strong personal style and has never seen such a cool domestic film in the cinema. The four chapters are well integrated. I personally like the story of the first chapter "dog", which can be completely independent. Such a narrative structure movie is not like something made by a Chinese director. If an actor is an American, it is said that it is a movie of the Coen brothers, and many people will believe it!"

"It is definitely the best domestic film this year. It has a strong style and a very design-oriented structure. It is very good in the overall situation and has a bright future for the director. The disadvantage is that it is slow pace and few lines, but the excellent performance basically makes up for the loopholes in the plot explanation."

"Lu Xiaoran is definitely the biggest surprise in the Chinese film industry this year. He can direct and act. A movie like "Border Storm" is not a peerless masterpiece, but it would not be so embarrassing to have more Chinese movies like this."

"It's rare to see such a good movie in the New Year holiday where bad movies are crowded. I must strongly recommend it. The expression is tense, and the plot is full of ups and downs!"

"There are many flaws, and it can be seen that it is a debut work. The movie is worth only three stars, but in the domestic films with many bad movies, you can create such a story based on your own temperament and ideas and reveal such a style, which is worth adding another star. Highly recommended!"

Of course, whoever gives money to the film critics and who helps them speak good things. If the plot doesn’t work, just praise the actors. If the actors don’t work, just talk about their resumes. If the resume doesn’t work... Then talk about character!

Although our Tianbao is not good at acting, she is beautiful and kind-hearted, and ranks first in the number of donations every year!

"The Man Captured by Light" is clearly a niche literary film. A bunch of people licking their faces and saying, "It's creative, has ideas, and the key is still very down-to-earth..."

Please explain the meaning of ‘down-to-earth’!

But when the movie itself is really good, the critics will of course do their best to praise it, and the words they use are very high-end, such as ‘a movie worth savoring’, ‘low-key and gorgeous. Chinese movies need such works, and Chinese movies lack such works.’…

The paper media reported this way, and the Internet was even more shocking!

"Luxing" is a hot topic, and most of you are concerned about how you think of "Border": Lu Xiaoran leads the Lurking Gang and Sun Honglei, and Zhang Guoli brings you a movie...

The "Lu Xiaoran" of the Duniang gathered tens of thousands of people to discuss "Border Storm":

"I went to watch "Border Storm" today. The film is good, it's not embarrassing!"

"Indeed, Xiao Luzi said it was definitely here!"

"Wu Jingzhong, Li Ya and Xie Ruolin from "The Hidden" both participated. I heard that he was a guest appearance for free?"

"I know that the Feng, who plays Li Ya, is a teacher at Beijing Film Academy. It is said that he has always admired Lu Xiaoran. Xie Ruolin was played by Cao Binkun. He is Lu Xiaoran's classmate. I heard that he is from the same dormitory!"

"Really? Then they have a good relationship!"

...

30th day, night.

Xiaoma's conference room, Li Ming, Zhong Lifang and other senior executives surrounded the company, waiting for the first day's box office report to be released...

After spending money, all the publicity should be done!

Now it’s time to get results!

The room was very quiet.

Everyone is trying to keep energetic. These days have been a long time. The main creator of "Border" is busy running around the country for publicity. Xiaoma and others are also so tired that they contact the theaters!

Otherwise, where do you think 24% of the first-day screening come from?

"Tick! Tick!"

The clock moves rhythmically and makes subtle sounds, making the atmosphere more tense.

Nearly 11:30, someone finally pushed open the door, holding the report in his hand, looking happy: "Here you come out!"

Zhong Lifang asked quickly: "How many?"

"Beijing: 960,000; Shanghai, 846,000..."

"Say the total number!"
Chapter completed!
