Big director

"Seeing him get up a tall building, seeing him feasting on guests, seeing his building collapse."

The royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty declined, and the princes of the four kingdoms rose together, and the flames of war filled the air.Some vassal states have been annexed, while others are developing and growing. This is an era of chaos, and it is also an era of unprecedented integration, unprecedented confrontation, unprecedented freedom, and unprecedented prosperity because of the "collapse of ritual and music".

To borrow a modern day sarcasm, that is - what is most important these days?talent!

In order to develop themselves and weaken others, the monarchs of various vassal states, no matter they are true or false, have made a gesture of "thirsty for talents". As long as you are talented, no matter which "country" you are from, he will willing to use!

In this era when there is no unified and powerful dynasty, "personal choice" can be respected the most.

For example, like Zhuangzi, as a "great sage", he doesn't want to be an official at all, but just wants to live in seclusion and be an outsider?sure!

For example, like Confucius, he felt that the current world was too shameful, so he led three thousand disciples to travel around the world, and preached his ideas to the princes and kings everywhere?It's also okay!

For example, like Mozi, he is just an "old farmer", but he stays at home hoeing and paying taxes, but wanders around and goes to school, so that's okay!

For example, like Guiguzi, if you like to live in seclusion, you should live in seclusion honestly, but after a while, you will send two disciples out to stir up wind and rain, making the whole world restless... Such a restless "troublemaker", Has anyone gone to raid his lair in a fit of rage again?

If you have ambition, you can be an official butcher; if you don't have ambition, you can resign from your office and live in seclusion; if you have ambition, you can travel around the world; if you don't have ambition, you can dream of a butterfly...

Perhaps this "chaotic world" is also another form of expression that everyone is looking forward to - "I work at sunrise and rest at sunset, what does Dili do to me!"

There is always another option, so everyone has no fear of the road ahead!People at that time, as long as they had the confidence in their hearts, they could hold their heads high and be "scholar-bureaucrats", not so-and-so "slaves"!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

This is the background on which "Contentation" is based.

The free flow of talents, the free collision of ideas... As a result, countless great people come here one after another, countless legends come on stage after you sing, and countless great works of thought start here and will last forever.

All of the above are also a set of long shots.

Some more professional film critics generally have a habit of always keeping a shorthand notebook with them when watching movies.When watching a movie, I can write down any thoughts I have immediately, and then summarize them and organize them together later.A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, some touches of details, after reading it, I will think about it, maybe I will forget it... And the reason why they are professional film critics, not amateur movie fans, these details are the most important heavy.

For film critics, they watch movies from a different angle than ordinary audiences.

Like-some metaphors in the shooting, what kind of meaning does a certain character or even a certain prop have on the whole film, what kind of technique the director uses, what kind of theme does he want to express, this movie is good, good Where?Not good, where is it not good?Where the structure is out of balance, where the meaning is unclear and the expression is unclear...

For those who don't care about these things, watching such professional film review analysis is simply a pain in the ass.But for some "high force" people who think they have connotations and ideas, this is an important factor that distinguishes them from ordinary people.

So, there are always some people who are full of warmth and want to be prostitute... No, they want to keep warm and want to hurt their eggs. It is human instinct to be arty...

This is also the soil where film critics exist.

Of course, the above mentioned is a relatively high-quality film critic.

There is also a kind of more down-to-earth film critics. What they sell is not force, but eyeballs-propose some fresh, interesting, and low-level opinions, and then arouse the resonance of ordinary movie fans, thinking that this is the case with short oil. !I thought so too when I watched it!It really speaks our minds!

The so-called customer groups are different, and the styles are naturally different.

But these are not the point.

The important thing to say is that there are five types of people sitting in the theater watching the first movie at the premiere.

High-quality film critics, down-to-earth film critics, ordinary movie fans, media reporters, and crew members.

And what kind of performance these different people have when watching the same movie, it is actually very interesting to observe carefully.

These two long shots are Zhu Zimo's first attempt at this "sharp" editing style.

The framing of the lens is very atmospheric and open, with great depth, but in fact, if you look closely, you will find that the two sets of lenses are very fragmented, and they change every few seconds!The amount of information is astonishingly large, and the director seems to be very greedy. He wants to express the most background information in the shortest possible time. It is best to be able to finish nearly a thousand years in one breath without making people feel dry and empty.But the strange thing is that although this group of long shots is like countless montages glued together, when the audience watches it, there is a feeling of time flowing, thick and gentle!

It's amazing, it's amazing!

Is this the ability of a great director?

Needless to say, these five audiences were all overwhelmed by the ten-minute camera change!

I have seen director Zhu's movies before, but those movies have special effects, beautiful scenery, characters like gods, and more fascinating plots.This was the first time that they were overwhelmed by a sharp editing, a head start that was simply showing off!

Those two kinds of film critics, at the beginning, took a few shorthand notes in a small notebook to express their admiration for a certain scene, but soon, they couldn't care about it anymore, but With his mouth half open, watching the changing situation in the camera, he couldn't do any analysis at all, because he really seemed to be captured!

Obviously not a blockbuster with special effects!Why do you find it so shocking!

So, let alone the five types of people, in the first ten minutes, no matter if it was a film critic, an ordinary actor, a media reporter, or a crew member, they all stared at the screen like the second idiot, and their hearts were probably full of shit Groove, groove, groove, just like the bullet screen.

Director Zhu is so awesome!

It turns out that movies with historical themes are not impossible to produce classics!Depends on who shoots...

When the tens of minutes of intensive bombing ended and the story of the "Princes" began to be told, although it was still a sharp edit with a huge amount of information, in general, the sense of intimidating weight finally eased a little, so all Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed their shoulders and leaned on the back of the chair, with complex and unspeakable expressions.

It's really different from what I imagined.

Before coming here, because I knew the meaning of "Zhengming", it was actually the so-called contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, so everyone felt that this must be a very heavy, but very boring... The rhythm must be slow, and the deep meaning needs to be explored. piece.

That is to say, the director is Zhu Zimo, if he is replaced by anyone else, the previous "very heavy" evaluation is unnecessary, and it can probably be replaced with "very mysterious" or something. Anyway, it is still the same sentence, look at it for so many years Since then, who has made a movie with that theme in that era?

This is the well-deserved "violent death theme"!Do you want to die when your brain is pumped?

But because the director is Zhu Zimo, fans are more tolerant, thinking that no matter what, the level of a great director is here, even if it is boring, if you watch it carefully, at least it can account for a "connotative" evaluation, right?

For love, isn't it more than two hours?Endure it!

Then, everyone was dumbfounded by the surprise of director Zhu's masterpiece.

It's like going to a banquet with the grief of eating instant noodles, but when it's served up, ah, isn't this a full feast of Man and Han? !

No expectations, no harm...

Not only did it not hurt, but it was also a double surprise!

This is simply a top commercial masterpiece under the banner of a literary film!

No, it should be said that the shell is a pleasing commercial film, and the inside is an endlessly evocative literary film...

They are all directors, how could Director Zhu make such a handsome and soul-stirring film about a subject of violent death!And some directors who don't know the so-called, but can make a good hot subject into a pile of shit?

These messy exclamations, of course, were not imagined while watching a movie.

When watching a movie, no one is distracted at all.Even those "impure minded" pure fans whose main purpose is to watch their idols temporarily forget that the male god is sitting not far in front of them, and they are all focused on watching the movie - too much information, If you distract yourself a little bit, you will miss so many things!

Laozi, Confucius, Mozi, Zhuangzi, these "old pedants" are simply a fashion value negative for young people. When they see their names, they will think of the boring back and forth of their middle school career!And the specific impressions of them are still in the history textbooks, those old men with kind faces, wrinkled faces, or sloppy beards...

In everyone's perception, they seem to have been like this since birth, just a cultural symbol. As for their ideas and political ideas, who knows?At most, in order to cope with the exam, I memorized such things as "both love and non-aggression", "government by doing nothing", "thief who steals the hook punishes the one who steals the country", etc., and I forgot all of them after the exam.

Unexpectedly, these so-called "great sages" also have times when they are young and passionate, times when they are impoverished, times when they are high-spirited, and times when the clouds are calm... All of them are full of flesh and blood, three-dimensional and clear "People", they come alive in Zhu Zimo's films.
