"We are tired of actors' pretentiousness, and we are also tired of explosion scenes and computer special effects. In some ways, although Chu Xing lives in a fictional world, he himself is not fake at all. There is no script, no
Although this cue card may not be a masterpiece by a famous artist, it is definitely a real record of life!"
After the Tangting Culture logo appeared, there was no introduction, and the director played by Wu Jianye suddenly appeared in front of the movie audience.
In order to seek a more realistic sense of immersion, Wu Jianye used documentary mode to shoot this section.
Many viewers were slightly stunned when they saw this scene. No one thought that Wu Jianye, who had not appeared on the big screen for a long time, would suddenly appear on the screen. It was just a monologue by Wu Jianye,
This aroused a lot of curiosity among many viewers.
There is no doubt that Chu Xing is the protagonist, but why does Wu Jianye say that he lives in a fictional world?
As the camera switched, Chu Xing, played by Zhou Xingchi, appeared in front of the audience. The camera slowly zoomed out, and the audience felt that Chu Xing was being filmed.
After Chu Xing finished speaking his lines, Chu Xing's introduction appeared on the screen.
Chu Xing's lines and introductions appear alternately, allowing the audience to slowly get to know the characters in the movie...
During this period, Chu Xing's wife Qin Sang, played by He Qing, appeared.
"For me, there is no longer any boundary between personal privacy and what is presented to the public. My whole life is "Chu Xingxiu", and "Chu Xingxiu" is a way of life and a kind of aristocracy.
A normal life, and... a very happy life."
After Qin Sang’s monologue, there is the monologue of Chu Xing’s friend Li Chongnian, played by Zhang Guoli.
"It's all real, nothing false. Everything here is real. There is no water in this show. It's just controlled!"
As Li Chongnian's monologue ended, the title of the movie finally appeared on the screen!
Chu Xing’s world!
It was just the monologues of these three people, plus Zhou Xingchi's somewhat neurotic performance, that made the movie audience understand something instantly. It seemed that Chu Xing lived in a fictional world, and everyone around him knew about it. Only
Chu Xing alone didn't know.
And all of this was created by the director played by Wu Jianye!
The beginning of the movie aroused countless curiosity in the audience, and many people wanted to know whether their guesses were accurate.
"This kind of expression is really like what Xiao Wu said. No one has done this before, either abroad or domestically!" Chen Huai'ai actually came to the scene, but he did not walk on the red carpet.
.
At this time, sitting next to him was his son Chen Kaige.
Chen Kaige nodded and said: "Old Wu should have shown the beginning of the movie to the audience in the form of a pseudo-documentary, but he handled it just right. The performance of just a few leading actors made the audience interested in the entire movie.
I am very interested in the development of the film!"
Chen Huai'ai nodded.
As the movie continues, Chu Xing has returned to his normal performance. It can be clearly seen from the movie that Zhou Xingchi is deliberately restraining his acting style, but the trace of nervousness that he occasionally shows still makes the audience explode.
Quite a laugh.
Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Guoyi were sitting together.
"Xingzi, did you come up with this kind of performance that deliberately restrains your own style, or was it directed by Director Wu?" Zhang Guoyi asked curiously.
Zhou Xingchi is now known as Master Xing in Xiangjiang, but seniors like Zhang Guoyi are still an exception!
Zhou Xingchi recalled the scene during the filming and said with a shy smile: "It was through the guidance of Director Wu. When the movie was first shot, my acting style was much more exaggerated than this!"
Zhang Guoyi nodded and said: "You have met a good director. I really hope that I will have the opportunity to appear in Director Wu's film in the future!"
Zhou Xingchi smiled shyly.
In fact, he himself can clearly feel the progress of his acting skills. When filming the current "Wu Zhuang Yuan Su Qier", there was a scene when Su Can's family went bankrupt. At that time, Zhou Xingchi thought of Wu Jianye's teachings.
, restrained his exaggerated style, sat there with his eyes slightly closed, and slowly shook his fan...
When Chen Jiashang saw it at that time, he couldn't help but praise Zhou Xingchi's performance in this section, it was definitely a palace level!
As the searchlight fell, Chu Xing had doubts about his life for the first time.
He squatted there and looked at the fallen searchlight carefully, looking very curious.
Then while driving, the car radio gave Chu Xing's answer.
In the first few minutes of the movie, the audience is simply introduced to Chu Xing's living conditions and his memory for Yao Yuping, played by Chen Hong.
When many viewers saw this clip, they saw their own shadow in this simple life. This is a strong sense of hidden substitution.
Because Wu Jianye set the background of this movie in China, many things have been fine-tuned. It is this fine-tuning that gives the audience a stronger sense of identification with the movie.
The developments in the movie also solved the doubts in the audience's mind little by little. For example, a colleague played by Wang Zhiwen asked Chu Xing to go out to sea to deliver insurance policies. The movie here shows the audience that Chu Xing is afraid of the sea and ships.
, As for why we are afraid, the answer is not told to the audience at this stage, but it also leaves a doubt for the audience.
Back home, Chu Xing was tidying up the lawn, and Qin Sang, played by He Qing, appeared again, with a somewhat unnatural smile on his face, introducing the product in his hand.
At this time, the audience already knew that He Qing and others were actually acting with Chu Xing, so they did not feel anything wrong with He Qing's performance, but their doubts became more and more intense.
On the contrary, some actors and directors praised He Qing's performance when they saw this scene.
"This actress's performance is very good, and she vividly displays the traces between reality and acting!" Zhang Yimou analyzed Gong Li next to him.
In fact, Gong Li is also paying attention to He Qing's performance. After starring in several Zhang Yimou's movies, Gong Li has become one of the most well-known actresses in China.
But for her, it has always been a regret for her not to participate in Wu Jianye's movie, and He Qing has now appeared in Wu Jianye's movie for the second time. Such an honor is unparalleled for other actresses.
No.
Nowadays, domestic actresses also have three peaks!
They are veteran actress Liu Xiaoqing, and new generation Gong Li and He Qing.
In fact, due to the scandal between Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Xiang in the past two years, coupled with the fact that Wu Jianye has been developing in Hollywood in the past two years, and He Qing also lacks the experience of working with top directors, the status of the three of them in the country has been faintly surpassed by Gong.
Li held her status as the number one actress in the country.
But now He Qing is starring in Wu Jianye's movie again, which makes Gong Li feel a sense of urgency, although she will also appear in Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou's movies one after another.
But there is still some distance between the two of them and Wu Jianye...
What was then shown in the movie was still every bit of Chu Xing's life. He and Li Chongnian were sitting on the unrepaired bridge late at night, talking about their own thoughts.
He wanted to go out and have a look, but Li Zhongnian was vaguely reminding him of the advantages of living here.
Late at night, with the moon hanging high in the sky, Chu Xing was sitting on the beach. As the movie shots switched, the audience in the screening room finally understood why Chu Xing was afraid of the sea and boats.
When he and his father went to sea, they encountered a strong storm and his father disappeared into the sea. However, he survived strongly after sacrificing his father.
After the recollection was over, as if to deliberately create an atmosphere, a drop of rainwater appeared above Chu Xing's head, only on Chu Xing's head.
Movie audiences were amused and curious after seeing this scene.
At this time, everyone was already somewhat certain that Chu Xing was living in a world controlled by humans, and the appearance of this scene seemed to remind the audience in the screening room, and it also seemed to remind Chu Xing.
As the heavy rain poured down, some viewers even experienced a hint of absurdity and panic.
Chu Xing returned home, found his wife, and proposed to travel around the world, but was extinguished by the various life pressures Qin Sang said.
At this time, the audience, who had already started a family and started a career, thought of themselves.
Only the adults themselves know the pressure in adults' lives...
When Qin Sang told Chu Xing that the two of them should work hard to have a child, many male viewers showed knowing smiles and looked forward to what would happen next.
But soon the content they were looking forward to did not appear. Instead, they were truly told through the movie lens that Chu Xing lived in a fictional world. He walked out of the TV and saw a lot of viewers.
For example, the performance of the security guards played by Chen Kaige and Gu Changwei during the dialogue.
Chen Kaige and Gu Changwei also looked at each other and smiled. Mr. Chen Huai'ai smiled and said, "You also appeared on the scene!"
Chen Kaige smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. At that time, my "Farewell My Concubine" was about to start shooting. During the intense shooting, Lao Wu came to me and just said that we would have lunch together, but ended up getting in the car.
The two of us were not allowed to come down and were directly dragged to the scene. We had to take pictures even if we didn’t want to!"
"Haha, I didn't know Xiao Wu had such an interesting side!" Chen Huai'ai said with a smile.
On weekdays, Wu Jianye still has great respect for seniors such as Chen Huai'ai, so many people mistakenly think that Wu Jianye is also a relatively stable person, but they did not expect that Wu Jianye also has such a side.
Chen Kaige could only smile bitterly.
It seems that everything has calmed down and Chu Xing's life has returned to peace. But when Chu Xing's father, played by Huang Xiaoli, appears, all this peace is broken!
Chu Xing once again had the idea of leaving here, and he once again took out his treasured memories, which were unfamiliar to the audience.
But with the appearance of Liu Jia and Shen Jueping, who played bartenders, Chu Xing's memories were slowly revealed.
Liu Jia and Shen Jueping told Wu Jianye that they had never cooperated at their classmates' reunion. Wu Jianye thought at that time that anyway, they still lacked the roles of two waitresses, so after the party, , brought these two people together to reshoot the scene of the waiter.
As Chu Xing's memories began, Yao Yuping, played by Chen Hong, also appeared.
Chen Hong sitting under the oak tree, just a simple shot, made the audience remember it. There is no way that Chen Hong is too beautiful.
Chen Hong's beauty is different from He Qing's beauty.
He Qing's beauty is a kind of peaceful beauty, while Chen Hong's beauty is extremely aggressive, the kind of existence that people cannot forget at a glance.
Chen Kaige also felt as if something had hit his heart hard at this moment, and he was immediately attracted by Chen Hong on the screen.
Yao Yuping was taken away, and Chu Xing was only in pain and losing Yao Yuping at this time, and did not think about what Yao Yuping told him.
At this time, the waiters played by Liu Jia and Shen Jueping revealed the reason why Chu Xing did not go to find Yao Yuping.
"Why didn't he follow him to Haicheng?" Shen Jueping asked.
"His mother is seriously ill and she cannot leave him alone. He is too kind. Maybe he is just too kind," Liu Jia said.
"It's hard to believe that he married Qin Sang right away!" Shen Jueping said regretfully.
When many viewers saw this, they suddenly felt a trembling panic in their hearts. They thought that the timing of Chu Xing's mother's illness was too coincidental.
You cannot think deeply about these plots. After thinking about these, you just...
"It's horrifying to think about it!" Zhang Yimou sighed again: "Old Wu, he captured the details of the movie in a way that outsiders can't imagine. Such a movie can be watched twice or even three times."
An excellent movie means that every viewer will be able to find some subtle details that were not discovered before during the second or third viewing.
In fact, in other screening rooms, some audiences did not expect this, but they still felt something else.
"If you were Chu Xing, and I was Yao Yuping, and I was taken away like this, would you follow their arrangements and marry any woman you want?" Liao Jiamin looked at Ren Xiaonian emotionally.
Ren Xiaonian: "..."
Fortunately, Ren Xiaonian is not a straight man and did not choke Liao Jiamin to death with one sentence.
"Of course not. If I were Chu Xing, after my mother recovers from her illness, I will immediately set off to find you. No matter where you are in Haicheng, I will find you!"
Liao Jiamin had a happy smile on her face.
Although Wu Meiwei on the side did not ask her question, she still looked at Zhang Ke silently.
"I...I will go find you too!" Zhang Ke said quickly.
