He Xin has participated in the three major European festivals so many times, and obviously will not be satisfied with the titles of actors such as Golden Horse, Golden Rooster, and Huabiao. Of course, he is not a Hong Konger and never expects to win any Academy Awards. At the same time, he does not
He would hope to win the American Golden Rooster (Oscar) and Hundred Flowers (Golden Globe) award, but he always had a strong pursuit of the best actors in the three major European festivals. After all, it is the palace of art films.
Especially after his wife won the Tokyo Film Queen, it even more exciting for him. He can't be worse than his wife!
Is it just because of the best acting skills?
The answer is no.
It doesn't mean that you can definitely win the Actor Award if you play the best. Just like the handsome boy in another time and space, you can just drink water and eat. You can only say that a hot man comes along with colorful auspicious clouds and is born with the protagonist
Halo.
If you can really win the award, the factors in it are complicated, including the movie itself, the taste of the judges, and the style of the film festival, etc.
It just so happens that the movie "Piano of Steel" is in line with the style of the Berlin Film Festival. As for the taste of the judges, I can only rely on luck. And the movie itself, this is said.
Depending on the pros and cons of a movie, there are only five factors: subject matter, style, audio-visual language, narrative structure, characters and the attitude of the creator.
A movie is from scratch, and in the process of creation, the selection of subject matter is the most important task. "The Piano of the Steel" is very pleasing to select subject matter.
The so-called subject matter is often contained in two levels. One is the main event, which is often called "story core". To put it bluntly: What kind of story does this movie tell?
The story core of "Piano of Steel" is very simple. It is the story of a laid-off worker's father trying every means to pull his friends to make a piano in order to monitor his daughter.
Although the story is simple, it is very clever. Because it is first a story of family affection, it also contains family concepts, friendship, and even beliefs. These are the greatest popular emotions, with a wide audience, and it is very understandable.
Easy content.
The motivation of the protagonist Chen Guilin in the whole story is fatherly love, which is both pleasing and convincing. No matter what the plot, as long as the word fatherly love is involved, it creates unquestionable rationality for the film.
Reasonableness is true whether it is the motivation and behavior of the characters in the play or the audience's recognition of the film.
For example, Daniel Day Lewis' famous work "In the Name of Father" tells a story of fatherly love.
In addition, in terms of the story background, "The Piano of Steel" has the advantages of transcending the film's social and historical sense of the film. That is the group of "laid-off workers" selected by the film and the background of "Old Industrial Base in Northeast China".
The group of laid-off workers is not unfamiliar with people's impressions today, because the laid-off wave has only happened in China for more than ten years. For foreigners, the large number of unemployment waves caused by each economic crisis are also consistent with it.
Laid-off workers or unemployed groups themselves are vulnerable groups in society, poor and innocent, which just fits the thinking habits of sympathizing with the weak in the minds of the audience or the white leftists, making this film easy to please the audience.
As for the style of "Piano of Steel", there is a grassroots emotional style that happens to be a joy in pain. Generally, stories in a tragedy in the environment of great tragedy, it is easy to fall into your shopping spree and you will destroy your eyes and die again.
The whole family is more tragic.
Pure comedy is easy to go straight to the farce path of going straight to the next three ways. When Zhang Meng was designing the script, he smartly chose the mixed lifestyle of comedy. In other words, it is to tell the story of the protagonist in the play.
The grassroots emotions of making happiness in our suffering.
To put it bluntly, it is also a universal magic weapon for the movie. The comedic plot and character language facilitate the story development. The rich body language is also conducive to the character's performance and performance, adding to the viewing of the film. The sad emotions are the most likely to incite the audience.
The tears make the movie touching.
The drama "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door" in the past two years was extremely popular, and this is the style that Will Smith became the gods.
As for audio-visual language, as mentioned earlier, Zhou Shuhao's Bay is indeed a couple of tricks, with fine pictures and beautiful compositions, which is definitely excellent in domestic movies.
Moreover, the film uses a large number of Russian-style music and classic Chinese old songs, which are closely connected to the environment and plot, and also have a strong expressive effect.
Especially Russian-style music, it is not unfamiliar to Western audiences.
Regarding narrative structure, "Piano of Steel" is a classic and typified narrative structure. Simply put, it has a heavier and huge background, and in fact it uses a common short story.
"The Piano of Steel" is to use Chen Guilin as the core character, and use him to condense other supporting roles to jointly achieve the goal of making a piano. Therefore, all plots are for the main line of making a piano, which is also before He Xin.
The content that I had been quarreling with Zhang Meng for a long time.
As for the two hidden lines in the film, it is to put pressure on the character through Xiaoju's struggle for custody of her child, and then to increase the mass and sense of the film's sense of the year through a clue that the government wants to blow up the two chimneys.
Character, this is a typical film with a big male lead. Chen Guilin's character is very three-dimensional and plump, and is fully qualified to win the best actor.
As for the creator's attitude, whether it is director Zhang Meng or the male lead He Xin himself, they have truly experienced that era. In other words, the two grew up in that environment, the style of the whole film and the character.
The portrayal is both real and restrained.
It neither highlights the suffering of the characters nor is it overly sensational. Even the man selling fake medicines with Chen Guilin's wife Xiaoju did not adopt a clear critical attitude, because this is reality, and it also makes the film close to the characters and
Telling stories without losing their grace.
Although He Xin does not think that playing Chen Guilin this time is the best role he played, he may not be as good as Lan Yu, and may not even be as good as it was broadcast not long ago, creating the ratings champion of the same period this year, ushering in the encounter
Yang Liren in "The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes". But this time was definitely the most natural time he played.
Because he regarded Chen Guilin as the real He Xin's father, mother, uncle and uncle of the next door neighbor, all the laid-off workers he encountered during his growth.
In Zhang Meng's words, this is a movie made for the working class.
It is precisely because of this real emotion that "Piano of Steel" is destined to be a good movie, a sincere movie.
...
"Why is it so late today? I don't know how to call."
When I got home, my wife lying on the sofa, wearing a facial mask and watching TV, inevitably had an objection.
He Xin changed his shoes with a tired look on his face and said, "I went to watch the rough cut version of "Piano of the Steel" in the afternoon, and then I kept talking about the editing problem with Director Zhang. I forgot the time if I was not careful. Oh, you
Have you had supper?"
"When you remember, I'd starved to death. I went to try my dress with Xiaoqing in the afternoon. When I came back, I passed by the sushi restaurant we visited last time to satisfy my cravings. I also packed a portion for you and put it in the refrigerator.
Where is the inside.”
Cheng Hao just finished filming "The New Three Kingdoms" at the end of last month. Although she only had less than 20 days of drama, she was so exhausted that she had been recuperating at home recently.
On August 10, the list of nominations for the 13th Huabiao Awards was announced. "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" which made a name for the Tokyo Film Festival last year was nominated for the excellent film. The new Tokyo Film Award winner Cheng Haoya was naturally nominated for the outstanding actress.
The nominations include Fan Zhibo in "Emergency", Zhang Ziyi in "Mei Lanfang", and Jiang Qinqin in "All Dreams Bloom".
Among them, Zhang Ziyi and her own daughter-in-law have the highest voice. The Huabiao Award is a government award. The reason why all awards are "excellent" rather than "best" is because the proportion of awards is very high, and basically they are based on 50% of the nomination list.
Awards, such as the Excellent Director, Screenwriter, Actor and Actress Award, four nominations, and two awards. Excellent feature films are nominated for twenty films and ten awards.
So it means that the best selection is, and the behavior of opening a double yolk egg is completely a hooligan.
These two days, she is carefully selecting dresses to attend the Huabiao Awards Ceremony held at the Beijing Exhibition Hall on the evening of August 29. The only regret is that the "Drinking and Golden" starring her was not shortlisted for the evening of September 8th.
The 27th Feitian Awards shortlist.
However, He Xin's work "The Hidden" two years ago is still a strong shortlist this time. If he wins the award in the end, he will win three Chinese TV series awards, Feitian, Golden Eagle and Magnolia with a work, achieving the ultimate master of the TV series.
Guan.
No matter what, the wife is quite considerate. When she saw her husband's tired look, she said that, she got up from the sofa, whipped her slippers, walked to the kitchen and took out the sushi in the refrigerator, and looked at the next door.
The old man who was washing his hands and face in the bathroom said, "Do you want beer?"
"What else is there in the house besides sushi?"
He Xin doesn’t know what happened during this period. The taste is a bit heavy and the light sushi is not very satisfying.
The weather is hot, and there are usually no leftovers at home. They pour it out if they can't finish eating that day. Cheng Hao looked in the refrigerator and only took out a vacuum-packed red sausage and said, "It's all you left to go to last time.
That Harbin red sausage that my good sister brought to you, cut it?"
"Yeah, cut it."
Your good sister has now become synonymous with Sun Li in Cheng Hao's mouth. This girl was filming in Harbin not long ago. When she came back, she brought him some local specialties.
A plate of thinly sliced Harbin red sausage, a box of packaged sushi rich in variety, including salmon, tuna, herring roe, Arctic shells, Dudan shrimp, etc., and a small dish of mustard soy sauce is placed next to it.
He Xin didn't ask for beer, so he poured a cup of Moutai.
"Let's go together?"
“I’ve eaten all…”
Cheng Hao looked hesitant.
He Xin smiled and advised, "Even if you eat something with me, there are a lot of things, I can't eat it alone."
"Since you said that, I'll have something with you."
It only takes an excuse to break the reserve of a wife, not to be hungry, but mainly to be greedy.
