tearjerker director

Chapter 1360 No pain, no salvation!

What is the best suspense film for the audience?Best?
Undoubtedly the one where you already think you've guessed it, but it turns out to be completely unexpected.

And undoubtedly "The Invisible Guest" did it!

And more than once.

"It's simply amazing. This is the coolest suspense film I've ever seen. I believe that the audience will definitely exclaim after watching it!"

"I can only say that I really don't know how the brain grows. When I finally took off my makeup, I was dumbfounded!"

"I once thought that what the actor said was true, but I can only say, it's really amazing, this movie!"

Representatives of many theater chains who watched the film were all admiring.

For them, being representatives of theaters watching movies is actually quite difficult sometimes, because this is their job. Although, the benefit is that they can preview it as soon as possible, but if they encounter bad movies, it is really difficult. It’s a lot of suffering, but when you encounter a good movie, especially this kind of suspenseful reasoning movie, because they saw it for the first time, there are no spoilers, so the viewing experience is the best.

This is also true. For a movie like "The Invisible Guest", although spoilers will not greatly affect the plot of the movie, it will definitely affect the audience's viewing experience.

For example, if you knew from the beginning that the lawyer was pretending to be the biggest foreshadowing, then the experience of watching the movie would be completely different.

Zhao Guangming was also a little worried about this.

But Li Yi didn't care that much about it.

In fact, just like when he talked to Chen Wen for the first time, he even told them the truth at the first time, but it didn't make the movie less glamorous.

"Don't worry, if you know some clues, such as the identity of the female lawyer, then the audience's focus will actually shift. For example, they will be curious, how did the male protagonist tell the truth? Of course. The viewing experience will definitely be worse, but it doesn't hurt!"

The screening was undoubtedly very successful.

There is no need to worry about the filming of "The Invisible Guest". It is actually okay if there are spoilers, because in fact, many people don't go online to read film reviews, and those first batch of film critics and media people may spoil some of them. , but it only spoils a small part.

This is very helpful for publicity. It is impossible to expect that there will be no spoilers at all.

The special screening for the media and film critics started soon.

As a result, the atmosphere at the scene was not weaker than that of the internal film viewing meeting, and exclamations erupted in the theater from time to time.

And the subsequent film reviews are also particularly interesting.

"The script is too wonderful, with foreshadowing everywhere, layers of reversals, intertwined fiction and reality, and undercurrents. Those who pretend to be smart often fail, and those who keep their faces can have the last laugh."

"All suspense movies that love to play with twists and turns can be summed up in one sentence: What you think you think is what you think. Anyway, this movie will definitely make people feel that they are uneducated, and they will go all over the world with just one sentence!"

"Actually, I didn't have high expectations for this movie directed by Gou, but the result exceeded expectations! The final ending is even more shocking!"

"How should I put it? It's really like riding a roller coaster, going down, up, down, up. You never know what kind of reversal will happen at the next moment!"

"The final reversal is not difficult. The difficulty lies in the weaving of multiple structures and the interlocking dialogues. It is very difficult to write, and it is especially prone to bugs, but the dog director has done it beautifully. The dog director is awesome PLUS!"

"Just keep arguing this thing: people are very bad, so bad that you can't even imagine, especially those high-ranking social elites. Only by being so cruel, can we understand why the male lead took such risks. The final ending will naturally fall into a common Routine: The villain died because of talking too much. As a movie, in addition to creating cool colors and dimming, there is still a feeling of deliberately creating tension and suspense and thrilling performances. Also, I finally understand that so many people will think of it when watching the witnesses!"

"In order to cover up a lie, you need more lies. Once you have trampled on humanity, it will be easier next time. As the story progresses, you can guess some reversals, but the tense rhythm and the plot without a little nonsense time can attract you to keep watching , Reversal sets the next reversal, when the truth is all revealed, we must say hello."

"The chain is intertwined. The logic of the screenwriter is really meticulous, and I admire it. The acting skills of the leading actors are also impeccable. It is a feast of brainpower and acting skills. The whole process follows the rhythm of the movie. This is a good movie!"

"I like this kind of movie that plays with the audience, but doesn't treat the audience as idiots."

"Visible guests come in majestically, forcing out the truth; invisible guests slip out without a trace, full of doubts. There are visible corners of people's hearts, pretending that your car is broken and I will fix it for you; In the invisible corner, there is a fierceness that cannot tolerate your life. The business world's killing and decisiveness turned into cold-blooded brutality in emotion, and the authorities did all their calculations but underestimated the pain of losing a child."

It can be said that it has received almost unanimous praise, which naturally makes this movie more and more exciting.

On the other side, Xu Feng also watched the movie secretly.

Then, when he came back, all he could do was sigh.

In fact, they could of course target them in terms of public opinion, but in the end Xu Feng gave up such an idea, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others, well, in fact, even if they do this, so what?
At most, it was nothing more than hurting each other. The key point is that what he did before has already made many people in the circle criticize, so he still needs to save face.

Of course, the more important thing is that if he does this, Li Yi can do the same at that time. The key issue is that the quality of the movie itself, the audience is not a fool, and a good movie will not be degraded by some people. Let the public suddenly lose their minds.

The famous Hong Kong veteran film critic Liao Liao immediately posted his film review online.

""The Invisible Guest" is undoubtedly the most watched movie nowadays. When I was chatting with my friends some time ago, everyone mentioned the suspense and mystery films in recent years. In fact, I usually like crime suspense films. There is no special interest in it, because in many such films, it is difficult to see any sense of surprise in them.

Li Yi has a great reputation and many auras, but undoubtedly, his name and aura are hardly reminiscent of suspense and reasoning movies.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, director Li Yi has always been very good at this aspect, such as "The Truman Show". Everyone pays attention to the amazing creativity of this movie, but they ignore it. suspense film.

And there is no doubt that Li Yi handles it very well. Although there are not many films of this type that he shoots, they are different from most films of the same type nowadays. They are often very simple stories, but he can Shooting completely different new ideas, such as "The Sixth Sense", which seems to be a masterpiece of suspense.

But these are more focused on the plot, rather than reasoning!
Originally, I didn't have too much expectation for his movies, because, to be honest, it seems that it has always been difficult for this kind of movies to have any new things that make people shine.

It wasn't until I went to see this movie - "The Invisible Guest" yesterday that I was amazed. It turns out that suspense films can still be shot like this.

Yes, Li Yi once again refreshed my understanding of suspense films.

The case of "The Invisible Guest" is not complicated and confusing. In fact, the whole case is actually very simple, but the feeling of filming is completely different.

A mystery novelist friend talked to me. He said that works of suspense and reasoning are nothing more than two methods, one is to complicate the simple, and the other is to simplify the complex, but there is no doubt that the latter is better than the former. It is easier and is the mainstream nowadays.

I never thought that watching a suspense reasoning movie would have so many plots with big reversals, making the brain feel like a roller coaster, going up and down suddenly, and you are at a loss for what to do.After reading it, I just want to say one word: "Good!"

So, what's so good about this movie?If you only say it's good but can't say what's good about it, it proves that you don't understand the movie enough, and watching it is in vain.Also, I can’t recommend it to you.

Let’s talk about it below.

First of all, the plot of the movie is good, the script is good, and the story is good.We all know that suspense and reasoning films have much higher requirements for scripts than other films, and they must create reversal plots and make each reversal logically self-consistent.This requires a lot of hard work, and hard work is not enough, you also need a talent for storytelling to be attractive enough.

This can't help but remind me of those movies that use the name of brain-burning, but actually treat the audience as fools. What is a really good-looking brain-burning movie?
It’s not a movie that makes the audience confused, confused, or confused, but a movie that leaves people stunned and surprised every time it turns around, but they suddenly realize it when they think about it carefully.

Simply put, logically, no big bugs should appear!

A good story should be logically scrutinized, the plot should be exciting enough, and the ending should be unexpected enough.The characters will not be eclipsed in it, but will complement the story.

A good story is a skeleton. Without a skeleton, no matter how good the actors are, no matter how much investment is made, no matter how dazzling the stunts are, they are all rootless and lack tension.

A story that can capture people's hearts and reject all routines.It must be sincere and fresh in order to win a place in the hearts of the audience.Any perfunctory, impetuous, is doomed to fail, the audience is not stupid, the eyes of the masses are discerning.

Secondly, the details of the movie are good.The story is the framework, the details are the embellishment, and if the details are handled well, the embellishment is the flowers.If the handling is not good, the details are BUG, ​​goofy, and failure.It might even ruin the whole movie.

In "The Invisible Guest", there are many details, but each detail is not meaningless.

We all know that a really good movie usually has very few useless shots.

For example, at the beginning of the movie, before entering the male protagonist's room, the female lawyer took a deep breath and straightened her collar, showing that she was very nervous.In order to avoid spoilers, I won’t go into details here, but I believe many people will think these scenes are redundant when they first see them.

When the male lead and her went to a key place, she deliberately put the pen vertically, with the other end facing the male lead.The camera also gave this action a close-up, which seemed meaningless.In the end, when the mystery was solved, I realized that there was a recording function hidden in the pen.

When she heard the cause of her boy's death, she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes, but she was quickly overwhelmed by reason, because there was still an enemy standing in front of her, and she had to cheer up to get evidence to avenge the boy.

Also, I don’t know if you have noticed that when the hero and his mistress took a shortcut to drive, there was a wild animal sign at their fork, suggesting that there are wild animals on this road.Buy a foreshadowing for the subsequent car accident.

Details, foreshadowing, these can't be buried casually, movies are different from novels, many novels can keep laying down foreshadowing, and even the author himself forgets the foreshadowing that he planted before.

Movies are different, the time of movies is very limited, and so are the shots, so every foreshadowing, where and when it is buried, must be filled in a reasonable follow-up, otherwise, those foreshadowings will become abandoned shots.

In addition, the characters portrayed in the movie are good.Gao Daquan, the facial makeup character is no longer popular, because everyone knows that it is unreal.Human nature is very complicated. Except for a few people who are very good and very evil, most people just seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They are not good or bad people.

In the movie, each character shows the deepest humanity in a specific environment.Even the main villain didn't want to kill people from the beginning.From an extramarital affair, to a car accident, to murder, to framing, from his point of view, every step is a last resort.It's all about keeping his wealth and status.

From a lawyer's point of view, the same good and evil, right and wrong, seem to be no longer important. The important thing is to put the interests of the employer first.

There is a word called "exquisite egoist", and the hero should be "cruel egoist." People block and kill people, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, everything serves personal goals.

The film's case is very contradictory, but reasonable.

Many people may think that it is just a car accident, even if the perpetrator is retrograde, but this is not murder, so things that can be solved by losing money, it seems that the male protagonist who is not short of money, there is no need to kill people.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the movie case itself is very unreasonable, but this is where the movie is wonderful.

We have underestimated human nature and what a "refined egoist" is!
I underestimated the confidence and arrogance of a self-made man with a successful career!
His cleverness, his conceit, and his selfishness made him commit a case that seemed absurd to ordinary people, but was actually very realistic.

So the "invisible guest" is the evil and unknown human heart under the mask!
In fact, if this story is extended, it will be more creepy than the so-called ending shown in the movie.

Let me ask, if everything is true, will he really be brought to justice?
Finally, I would like to share with you a sentence at the beginning of the film, a sentence worth remembering, no pain, no salvation! "
