Gu Zhen's wealthy life

After many years, when many people comment on this series of films, they will still sigh "good film".

The picture quality of "Guilty Conviction" itself is not very high-definition. After all, the film was not shot according to film standards in the beginning.It can barely be screened on a large screen. This is because the quality of the cameras used by the crew during filming is very high, but there is still a significant gap between the official screening and the latest movie.

However, when several film magazines evaluated the film after the film was officially released, they still gave it a high evaluation of "sincere work".

The "sincerity" of "Guilty Verdict" does not lie in the picture, but in the script and content.

In the film review, the magazine discovered one thing very keenly: "So far, Gu Zhen, as the producer, has only produced one series and one movie, and they have used different screenwriters and different directors respectively. What they have in common is that they are all made with great sincerity. Is this a coincidence?"

This is certainly not a coincidence.

Gu Zhen pays great attention to the selection of screenwriters and directors for each investment, and the script creation time is very long, and he will actively urge and ask the director and screenwriter to communicate with each other in the middle of the script—Gu Zhen believes that he has both screenwriting and directing skills. Just a layman, he just firmly believes in one truth-the audience or readers will know best where a creator spends his time and energy.

Whether the work is outstanding or not may have different judgments and cognitions, but the sincerity of the creator is something that ordinary audiences can see.

So he will only select a capable person based on the other party's works, and then sign a generous contract with extremely complicated requirements.After this, let go and be a thorough audience.

As an investor, the reality has proved that Gu Zhen's approach is very effective.

After "Guilty Verdict" was approved, it was scheduled to be released at a very fast speed.Gu Zhen didn't have high expectations for it at the beginning, so the number of shows arranged is relatively small, but the director of this show has great expectations for "Guilty Conviction", especially when the screening method suddenly changes from the weekend TV theater Changing to showing on the big screen may not have caused the other party to have a sense of fate that God wants to make him famous.

Under his argument.In the end, Gu Zhen still won a few more theaters from Charm.

But despite this, the release configuration of "Guilty Verdict" is definitely not the release configuration of the expected film.Even in terms of charm, I feel that its content and quality are very good, but I am still not optimistic about its box office.

In terms of charm, the subject matter of this film is too niche.

The theme of depression is not only niche, but also the subject matter itself is too dark, which is not suitable for the preferences of mainstream audiences.Or as long as many people see this topic, they will instinctively feel repulsive and do not want to be exposed to such a heavy topic.

So from the start, Glamor didn't promote the film as a depression-themed movie.

Their slogan is "Love can still meet after death", and the background is a girl waving translucent wings on a tall building, and a male protagonist who is completely invisible and only half of his back can be seen downstairs.

At first glance, this promotional poster is really girly, and it is completely dreamy, so even if the title is "Innocence · Guilty Verdict", which sounds very dark and serious, many people are still dismissed. Confused by the poster, he was tricked into the cinema.

In fact, this is indeed a healing romance film, the only difference is that this film shows many problems about patients with depression and other emotional disorders.

Many girls went to the cinema to watch this movie because they were attracted by the names of Xie Zhiwan or Gu Zhen, but as the plot progressed, most of them were involuntarily attracted to it.

For modern girls in their teens and twenties, they are at the turning point of this era. Most of what Cao Xue experienced is what they will feel—even deep down, as if it is their own. experience.

Family divorce, gender discrimination, self-worth seeking - if they were born 100 years earlier, they would not experience some things, some pains they would not be aware of, and would just bear it numbly; if they were born 100 years later, maybe all the problems at that time There is already a conclusion, even if there is no conclusion, it will show a direction to pursue.

And they were all born at the corner of this era.

The girls have already learned to think and pay attention to themselves, but they still don't think thoroughly enough and pay attention not firmly enough.Sometimes Cao Xue's confusion is actually their own confusion. It's just that most people's doubts and pains are not as strong and extreme, but they can more or less feel them.

The pace of the first 10 minutes of the movie has been fast, and the director has maintained a very tense atmosphere from the beginning of the story.The beginning of the story is the girl's monologue and the content of the diary. Accompanied by the sound of quarreling, shouting, and the sound of breaking bowls, the whole story begins.

In less than 10 minutes of the opening title, Cao Xue’s young and short life has been narrated—the quarrel in the old house with flickering lamps and shadows, Cao’s mother’s nervous confirmation of the lawyer after the verdict was read, the rented house, the late mother, Xiao Caoxue waited with her head poking around, the single mother who could be bullied and despised by anyone, the mother's tenderness and irascibility, the fried rice with burnt eggs when she tried to share the housework for the first time... until that holiday, at a stranger's house Those ignorant and hurt memories.

In the film, the director did not show what happened in detail, but only used light, a pair of feet in black leather shoes, and some deceptive lines to hint at what happened next.

And then ten years later.

Ten years later, Cao Xue, who first entered the society, was introverted and timid. Just because a male colleague grabbed her wrist, she overreacted to being frightened.She was cowardly at work, and she had outstanding performance several times, but in the end she often missed the rewards and opportunities she deserved.Very unpopular, known as a weird girl.

Because of her cowardice and psychological barriers, Cao Xue has always been a failure in study and work. This kind of failure also made Cao's mother always angry at her. With the pressure of life, she often confides some excessively hurtful things. speech.

The director only used a typical scene to show the relationship between Cao Xue and Cao's mother.

Cao Xue, who had just experienced a storm of interpersonal relationships and cynicism in the company, returned home and found her mother was already at home, and immediately showed a slightly frightened expression.Afterwards, Cao's mother asked her about her work situation, and frowned because of her hesitation, and soon the two quarreled.

Mother Cao accused her daughter hysterically: "Do you want me to die?"

This is the cruelest accusation in the world.Cao Xue stood where she was, her eyelashes twitching slightly, her lips trembling, unable to answer.

The narrator, Cao Xue, was already reading the broken diary in a flat but sad tone: "When she asked me like this, I couldn't answer. I felt angry in my heart, angry at how she could say Saying such hurtful words, but my heart is extremely cold."

"How could I hope that you are even a little bit bad? Mom... I am willing to die for you."

As Cao Xue's condition worsened, her emotions became more and more out of control. She often sat there in a daze, and suddenly burst into tears.Cao Xue realized that she was abnormal, and because of the pain, she went to see a doctor.

……

The initial plot rhythm of the movie is always very fast, and a large number of plots are often pulled through quickly with only one or two shots.But for many people in the audience, it was not difficult for them to understand such a scene-because it is almost a situation that happens in many families.

Which family does not have disputes between father and son, mother and daughter?When you blurt out when you are angry, most of them may just be impulsive, but they always hurt people deeply.

……

In front of the big screen, a girl was wearing a black woolen windbreaker, looking at the scenes on the screen with some numbness and pain.

Following the painful Cao Xue's last call for help, what she received was some reproaches or suggestions that were completely contrary to her expectations... Some people blamed her for being cowardly, and some insulted her mother for being unworthy of being a mother. This made Cao Xue feel deeply. Weakness and pain.

The attack she received made her painful and dazed. It turned out that she was indeed extremely useless, even posting a post could provoke attacks and harm for her mother.

The pain of illness, her mother's anger and disapproval of her wanting to see a doctor, and the sentence "How can my daughter be mentally ill!?" deeply overwhelmed Cao Xue.

With trembling hands, she clicked several times before finally closing the web page, then took her small wallet, opened the door and ran out of the house.

And at this time, she was completely unaware that her mother was in hesitation, and she wanted to buy a piece of Cao Xue's favorite beef as an apology for yesterday's anger and inscrutability.She didn't know that the post began to lengthen at a rapid speed as she hurried to the station and boarded the bus to the city center.

The girl in the black woolen coat looked at the rapidly elongated post on the screen, but she was stunned as she kept switching between the hands typing on the keyboard and the words typed in those hands as Cao Xue ran away.

In these words, someone comforted Cao Xue, someone defended and analyzed Cao Xue's mother, telling her that neither of them was wrong, but that more and more gradual communication opportunities were needed... Someone analyzed the causes and causes of depression to Cao Xue. The road to recovery, and some people even comforted Cao Xue with their own experiences...

The girl opened her eyes wide, desperately trying to see every line and every sentence on it, but unfortunately the subtitles were refreshed too fast, she couldn't see clearly.

But all this is futile after all.

In front of the big screen, I don’t know how many people hoped that Cao Xue would stop, wait for her mother’s call, or take a look at the follow-up message, but Cao Xue never stopped, and rushed all the way into a big restaurant , took the elevator to the roof garden, climbed over the fence almost without hesitation, and fell from the sky.

At the moment of falling, someone met her eyes.

The black woolen girl sat quietly in her seat, listening to the commotion of many people in the theater, and some even could not help but exclaim or curse, but her heart was complicated and unspeakable.

Cao Xue fell on the ceiling of the convenience store, and was covered by the ceiling for a while before falling to the ground.I don't know if it's luck or misfortune... She still can't breathe.

When a passer-by shouted in surprise, "She's still alive!", almost half of the people in the cinema breathed a sigh of relief.

Then came the doctor, the ambulance and Cao Xue's mother who rushed over.

When she saw her daughter lying on the stretcher with a pale face like a corpse, Mother Cao's entire face lost all color.

She couldn't imagine her daughter committing suicide.

Cao Xue is always very silent, very well-behaved, even a little submissive.Cao's mother was annoyed by her failure to live up to her countless times, but to her, Cao Xue would never be a child who would commit suicide in a fit of anger.

She was at a loss and regretted it.If I had known this earlier, I would have coaxed her yesterday instead of scolding her.

However, she didn't understand, she didn't know anything about mental illness, and she didn't understand at this time, how big the difference between the pain Cao Xue endured and what she thought was.

As the story progresses step by step, Mother Cao finally understands what depression is and what is killing her daughter.The psychiatrist who showed up took the initiative to have a wonderful and inexplicable feeling for Cao Xue, but in the interrogation and persuasion of the other party, Cao's mother finally let go because of fear, and confessed that her daughter had depression.

During the short conversation, Cao's mother understood for the first time that depression is not the mental disorder she imagined, but it is not something that can be cured as long as she works hard.

The doctor advised her to take Cao Xue to see a doctor, but Cao's mother fell silent.

After a long while, the doctor said: "Patients with depression usually live very painful lives. Their illness is not entirely caused by psychological factors, but also by physical factors, but physical factors will continue to affect the mind. This kind of pain is unbearable for them, so Choosing to commit suicide is not an individual phenomenon, but a universal one.”

He opened his mouth and asked word by word: "Sister-in-law, is the argument like 'your daughter has a mental problem' really more important than your daughter's life, the unbearable pain she is even willing to commit suicide?"
