Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 480
"I really don't understand love, and I lack interest, so I asked Wei Jiahui to help me when I made romantic comedies."

Listening to Du Qifeng's jokes, Su Ze also laughed.Whether Johnnie To in reality is so unproven, but his gangster movies often draw away from daily reality, and most of them focus on male characters, focusing on the friendship and wrestling between them, which is true.

Of course, the romantic comedies produced by Yinhe Video may be an exception. In these romantic stories, the hero and heroine will stage courtship and chase in the city, humorous, funny, crazy and exaggerated, and there is no lack of tearful life and death, which will gain more recognition from the audience.

Blind Detective is just such a work. If you are an audience, you can think of the detective just from the title, and even the way to solve the case has something in common with the detective.

But this time Johnnie To obviously had more fun, not forgetting to flirt under the continuous thriller and suspense, it was an out-and-out comedy.

The opening scene immediately brings the audience into a familiar urban scene. In the bustling Mong Kok market, someone is planning to commit a crime, and John Seton is also in action, followed by Ho Jiatong.

In the storyline related to detectives solving crimes, the style of the galaxy image is still retained: the crowds in the downtown area of ​​Hong Kong Island, the characteristic rooftop corridors, the remote suburbs separated from the real law...

Plus articles on food, clothing and cars, details about horse racing, gambling and immigration, low-key lighting, sudden and terrifying violence...

These contents are enough to make Galaxy fans addicted, not to mention that the queen supporting actors are still very ghostly and super funny.

At the same time, Du Qifeng took the initiative to break these things, which was manifested as the active elimination of the horror atmosphere, which was repeatedly disintegrated by the emotional and private affairs of the hero and heroine.

What's more, in the simulated scene and the murder scene performed by surreal techniques, a series of funny actions will be created, and the successive destruction situations are not serious.

As the case shifts and the case deepens, the performance will uncontrollably fall into reality, and Cheng Xiuwen will completely become a heartbroken woman, forgetting that she is just imitating.

This kind of emotion truly reflects the emotional projection of the audience in the movie theater, and it also makes the movie slowly fall into a tragedy, and finally removes her shadow of growth: the mystery of a missing friend.

It was a repressed emotional experience, and the person involved, Xiao Min, was a victim who grew up in a tragic family.In her body, the extreme fatalism that Wei Jiahui is good at can be seen at a glance, and none of the four generations of the family has escaped.

On the surface, Xiao Min's love tragedy is just one of many cases, but because it is a murder because of love, it echoes the main line of love in the movie.

And the John Seton I created feels good about himself. Even though he is blind, he still regards himself as an idol star in the police world and accepts the love and worship of the heroine.However, he suffered setbacks emotionally, and the goddess in his mind was preempted by others.

Fortunately, I know how to stop thinking, unlike Xiao Min's family, who are obsessed with obsession and make mistakes again and again.It seems to tell the audience: twisted melons are not sweet, and forced love will suffer.

The true meaning of love is not to find a good god, but to meet the right person at the right time.

Just like the crimes in the film, there are both the madness of men serially killing women, and the horrible madness of women who do not want to let their prey go. There are positive and negative writings, which are mirror images of each other.

In most movies, the male protagonist uses precise marksmanship and a generous body to protect the female protagonist. This time, He Jiatong deliberately wrote in reverse. He Jiatong saved John Setton many times, and he was blocked by acid and slashed by a knife.

In Su Ze's view, Zheng Xiuwen has abandoned the homogeneous images of Hong Kong women and middle-aged women in the past ten years. On the basis of the silly girl temperament, she is more innocent, simple and cute, with flesh and blood and charm, which can be classified as a galaxy image. The most beloved heroine in the work.

From a foodie perspective, this work can even be regarded as a gourmet film.

Food, as an auxiliary line to promote the plot, runs through the whole story, which is more life-like, and the image of foodies is also cuter.No matter when, where and what to do, he never forgets food, and even when handling a case, he must first choose a place with a lot of food.

It doesn’t matter if you lose money and get angry, a big meal can comfort your mood; whether it’s shark fin abalone in a high-end restaurant, or the smelly intestines at a street stall, you can find super food and eat it emotionally… …

This is the deep love and understanding of life that a real foodie can have. Of course, it is also because Du sir is usually a foodie. Otherwise, how could there be so many lifelike details?

In "Tasteless Detective", Li Ruotong and Liu Qingyun cook each other's home-cooked dishes, in "True Heroes", one glass after another, and in "Big Guy", they eat non-stop at night stalls.

In "Detective", a meal is eaten a hundred times, in "Exile", a reunion dinner is eaten with mixed feelings, in "The Big Event", the gangsters hold the knife, and the hostages eat proudly, what is eaten in "Slimming Men and Women" is inhumane... …

Du Qifeng is indeed the number one foodie for Chinese-speaking directors!
For the Galaxy Iron Triangle, Zhuang Wenqiang has cooperated long ago, this time it is To Qifeng again, and in the end only Wei Jiahui as the screenwriter is left.

This time, as a master screenwriter's stunt to bridge the gap, the consideration is the cooperation between the script and the director's control, including editing.

One side is to trace the truth backwards, giving some facts and some speculations each time, so that the audience will get the same sense of loss and frustration along with the plot, and then continue to slowly approach the starting point and truth of the story.

Su Ze was surprised to find that as long as it is a work jointly directed by To Qifeng and Wei Jiahui has half of the control, the stories often have exotic elements from outside Hong Kong Island?
The Southeast Asian crimes in "Full-time Killer", the clavicle skills and weird Indian guys in "Big Guy", and the travel around Brazil in "Blind Detective", Portuguese to transition the plot.

Presumably Wei Sheng's world view is greater than Du sir's after all, and every time he travels at public expense?
Of course, I also found many small quirks of gold medal screenwriters, such as repeating a point over and over again.

I like to let the protagonist repeat a certain action tirelessly, and get the truth of the incident from this accumulation process. In "Detective", Liu Qingyun eats and eats to the point of nausea, while in "Blind Detective", he smashes the TV until his hands are soft, and knocks people's heads until he feels sick. Halo, cutting wrists to the point of addiction.

He Jiatong, who has been broken in love more than a dozen times, provided only a few insignificant clues, but in the end it can indeed reflect the truth. The audience will not be bored, and the characters will naturally not be bored.

His stories often focus on revealing the depth of human nature. The multi-personality played in the masterpiece "Detective" is analyzed and depicted from a horizontal perspective. The villain's seven-fold personality covers the sinister world, but the greatest evil comes from the weakness of goodness. .

In "Blind Detective", this kind of personality becomes a vertical continuation, that is, the fate of killing the father of three generations of women in Xiao Min's family, who are blind and ignorant and sue for killing intent.

Reincarnation or death!
