Chapter 325 325. A story worth pondering

Sitting in the first row was a middle-aged film critic wearing black-rimmed glasses. His name was Jiang Xi.

When the video ended, he was clapping vigorously, but at the same time, there was a look of shame on his face.

He must admit that before entering the cinema, he was prejudiced against the movie.

In fact, many film critics and even audiences are like this. This stems from Lu Chuan's age, the cast, and even the subject matter of the movie.

It is not that documentary-style films have never appeared in China, but most of them are sensational films. In the name of documentaries, they are indeed commercialized for the sake of box office.

The subject matter of this movie will undoubtedly make people who have never seen it think a lot. Thinking about the battle between the mountain patrol team and the poachers, it is really easy to think that this is a "evil does not suppress the good" In the movie, the mountain patrol team may have to deal with twists and turns, but in the end they catch the poachers.

Because this is the main theme of current movies, how can the bad guys get away with it? This is like the mothers-in-law in later family movies. If they don't act or make trouble, they are not qualified mothers-in-law.

Jiang Xi obviously thinks so too. Even because Nie is the only big star in the cast, he doubts whether this movie will be made into a personal heroism movie exclusively for Nie Wei. Nie Wei's performance in "Police Story" left such an amazing impression on him that he unconsciously associated it with this.

But when he walked into the theater and the lights dimmed and the big screen lit up, he knew he was wrong.

From the beginning, the shots of this movie are full of smoothness, simplicity, without fancy techniques, the composition is simple and real, and the actors are equally real, and the story they interpret is full of danger and blood.

The atmosphere of the whole film was very depressing from the beginning. The poacher's unhesitating shot completely shattered Jiang Xi's prejudice against this film. A living life was lost in an instant in such a simple dialogue. , shouldn't a team member appear to save him? Where is Nie Wei? What about the Japanese and Thai captains in the brochure?

No, no one showed up, a living man died so suddenly.

Jiang Xi's eyes were looking at the big screen, and his eyes were just like the young poacher squatting next to the dead man in the movie. It felt like he was scared to death.

From this moment on, Jiang Xi's prejudice against the movie began to waver.

In the subsequent plot of the movie, the young director Lu Chuan performed more steadily than many more experienced directors. Although the style of the film has some elements of artistic processing, it does not deviate from the documentary style at all, but instead adds to the documentary style. The expression of all emotions in the film adds a lot of color.

As for his previous worry that Nie Wei's brilliance would bias the style of the film, it has now become a joke. Nie Wei has completely integrated into the atmosphere of the film. If he hadn't known Nie Wei before, he would have known that he was a If he were a big star, Jiang Xi would even regard him as a member of this true story.

It was so rare. He admired Nie Wei's performance in this movie from the bottom of his heart. He had seen too many of Nie Wei's gorgeous acting skills before. This time he returned to simplicity, which gave him a feeling that was completely different from that in New Police Story. , but equally stunning.

To evaluate with his truest thoughts, this actor is truly amazing.

At least he feels that with Nie Wei's amazing acting skills in two completely different styles in "New Police Story" and this "Kekexili", if Nie Wei is not included in the next few awards, he will really shout shady .

Smiling, Jiang Xi returned his thoughts to the movie itself.

There is no trace of heroism in this movie from beginning to end. The heavy and depressing atmosphere runs through the entire movie. There are a few light-hearted moments interspersed in the middle, but there is a bitterness behind them, just like being in a lonely garrison. Click there, everyone sings, dances and laughs, but behind it is really two years of a lonely life.

Perhaps the arrival of Ritai every time is the happiest day for a lonely person in this garrison. Unfortunately, there are countless days like this in two years. Most of the time, he is the only one. In this dilapidated tent, facing the danger of poachers attacking at any time, this kind of life is definitely not something ordinary people can endure.

In addition, the helplessness faced by Shi Ritai, a common man who brought sheepskins for poachers, clearly shows that this mountain patrol team still carries heavy shackles and restraints.

Later, Ritai revealed the situation of the mountain patrol team bit by bit.

A faith team that is not recognized by the government and can only be maintained by the support of volunteers from all over the country and the funds obtained from stealing sheep skins is gradually shaped into a vivid and full body.

Jiang Xi felt that he particularly appreciated the dialogue between Captain Rita and Gayu played by Nie Wei in this film.

After learning that the Japanese and Thai mountain patrols would also secretly sell some sheepskins, Gayu was silent for a long time, and then said in embarrassment: "How do you want me to write this report? You know I am a good reporter..."

"I know you are a reporter. Are you reporters protecting Hoh Xil?" Ritai said, causing Gayu to fall into silence again.

Ritai clenched his gun, looked out the window, and said: "I, Ritai, can go to jail. I also know that selling leather is illegal, but I won't consider what you said now. I only consider Hoh Xil and brothers. See you. People who kowtow have dirty hands and faces, but their hearts are very clean.”

This conversation made Jiang Xi think about it for a long time, evaluating its meaning. The more he thought about it, the more classic it seemed to him.

Starting from Gayu saying that he is a good reporter, and then being ridiculed by Ritai, Ritai's next words can be regarded as the core idea of ​​this movie.

Ritai and the others protect Hoh Xil, but in order to maintain the mountain patrol, they also need to sell part of their skins. This is the same as what poachers do, but sometimes it is different, just like what Ritai said, Their hands and faces may be dirty, but their hearts are extremely clean. They sell their skins not for profit, but for protection.

From this conversation, as well as previous issues such as staffing, wages, etc., it also reflects the government's unfavorable attitude towards the protection of Hoh Xil at that time. It used a heavy dialogue to insinuate the environment at that time, and it also made people think deeply.

It wasn't until Ritai fell down at the end that Jiang Xi slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt sad for Ritai, but he was also shocked by the movie. His previous speculations about heroism and selling people off were completely wrong. Yes, the reality of this movie made his heart tremble, making him eager to go home, not to write a movie review, but to investigate this mountain patrol team and check out the Hoh Xil that he awes and longs for. .

In fact, many people are shocked by the ending of Hoh Xil, and many of them express confusion.

A few hours after the film was released on the Internet, the dispute over the final dialogue between Japan and Thailand became the hottest topic of the day.

The biggest controversy lies in Japan and Thailand's seemingly ridiculous persistence at the end.

Many viewers who have watched the movie believe that if Japan and Thailand pretend to be courteous in the end and agree to the conditions of the poachers, they will not only be able to keep their own names, but they may also be able to actually catch the poachers, but there are also Some viewers believed that Ritai's persistence was correct. The loss of so many companions' lives along the way, as well as the blood of the Tibetan antelopes that were the most important to him, stained the earth red, did not allow this man to attack the poachers. yield.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and argued over the choice of life and dignity. In the end, a film critic stood up and gave an analysis that slowly turned everyone off.

"Actually, everyone has not considered one thing. If Japan and Thailand compromise, will they really survive? Everyone has seen the ruthlessness shown by the poachers from the beginning to the end of the film. The leader of the poachers Those words may be a genuine attempt to ask for peace, but there is also a high possibility that they are just an insult to Japan and Thailand when the overall situation is in control. They want to have the bad taste of watching their old rival's faith collapse in the face of life and death. But it’s a pity that he didn’t see this scene in the end.”

"There is no right or wrong in Ritai's choice, because he only has this choice. The mountain patrol itself is a team that relies on faith. Life and dignity must be under faith. Their purpose is to catch poachers. Even at the cost of his own life, Ritai still chose to chase after running out of ammunition and food. Even when faced with the guns of many poachers, he still chose to say those words because this was his ultimate goal. , he cannot back down and will not back down.”

"The focus of our attention is not on the life and death of Ritai, but on the film's reflection on the country's inability to protect the environment. The death of Ritai has sounded the alarm, but I hope that no one will need to shed blood. This kind of The existing bad situation will also be gradually improved by the country.”

This comment was recognized by many people on the Internet. Many people regarded this paragraph as the best analysis of the ending of the movie. The problems behind the movie gradually expanded its influence as the movie played.

Time went back to the moment at the end of the premiere. Looking at the girl crying beside him, Nie Wei handed over his handkerchief.

"Thank you." Dawa took the handkerchief and wiped his face happily. As soon as he wiped away the tears, the strong look returned to the girl's face.

"The movie was very successful. After the interviews, I'll treat everyone to a midnight snack in the evening." Nie Wei clapped her hands and said, trying to divert everyone's attention so that they would not be too immersed in the sad atmosphere of the movie.

Fortunately, neither Dawa nor Zana and others are weak-hearted people. In fact, living in that place and doing such dangerous work, their hearts are much stronger than ordinary people. They will be sad and shed tears. Because a lot of the content in the movie is the eternal pain in their hearts, but it’s okay to cry after the pain. They will not be like the great talents in ancient times who were always sad and sad.

During the subsequent interviews, the reporters rarely asked irritating questions. Facing Dawa, Zana and others, they all showed enough respect and asked more about the pain behind the original mountain patrol team. , and will also ask Nie Wei, Lu Chuan and Teacher Dobjie about some difficulties they encountered during filming.

"Everyone really put a lot of effort into this movie. The footage of the Tibetan antelope at the beginning of the movie is real. We spent four months shooting the first real video of the Tibetan antelope in the country, and the actors They also suffered a lot. For example, Nie Wei was attacked by a wild wolf, and Brother Qidao. In the quicksand scene, in order to pursue reality, he was really buried under it for more than a minute. , I was in shock when I finally dug it out.”

The reporters at the scene took a breath when they heard this. Many people looked at Nie Wei in horror. They didn't know that Nie Wei had been attacked by wild wolves. If Lu Chuan hadn't told him, who would have known that this young actor was still alive? I had such a dangerous experience.

But Lu Chuan hadn't finished speaking yet. Under the reporters' surprised eyes, he continued: "In addition to these, there is also the scene of crossing the river. Everyone can find out the temperature in Hoh Xil by checking the Internet. The river water is freezing cold. , but our actors went into battle with real swords and guns, walking back and forth more than thirty times in order to present the best shots to everyone. "

Speaking of the emotional part, Lu Chuan's eyes turned red. With tears in his eyes, he complained to all the reporters: "Our team of hundreds of people entered Hoh Xil. In the end, less than half of the people persisted from the beginning to the end. Some of them were due to the difficult environment. They ran away, and some were really tired and fell down. I don’t blame them for running away, because I have thought about running away more than once, while those who stayed behind may have been exhausted. I admire them from the bottom of my heart, because they let them I saw what a true filmmaker’s attitude is like.”

"Actually, until the end of the filming, many people were wearing multiple hats, such as Nie Wei, who was my assistant director in the second half of the film, and Teacher Dobjie. When there was no scene, he would To become a lighting engineer, there are many people who have worked silently. I can’t name them here, but I will always remember their efforts in my heart. One day in the future, I may write a book. Tell me a story about the filming of this movie. I believe this experience will never be forgotten until I grow old.”

After saying this, Lu Chuan's eyes became moist, and the reporters at the scene listened very seriously. They all carefully recorded Lu Chuan's words on their computers or notebooks. Many people even decided to donate to this film. I just made a column about the movie, because there are really too many things to write about.

However, some reporters discovered some issues worthy of consideration in Lu Chuan's words. Soon a reporter raised his hand and asked: "Director Lu, are you saying that Nie Wei served as deputy assistant during the second half of the filming of your movie?" The director’s work? Can you evaluate his level? I’m talking about the director’s level.”

As soon as this question came out, everyone looked at Lu Chuan curiously. After all, Nie Wei's intention to write and direct himself has caused quite a stir recently.

Thanks to two book friends, Lun Lun Xiao Pistol and Pangu 1 Heavenly King, for their generous support.
