Chapter 1482 1584. The light of hope

The disaster movie genre is notoriously difficult to make in the film industry.

On the one hand, most disaster movies are based on reality and the ending is knowable, which will make the audience less surprised. On the other hand, most disaster movies involve a lot of professional knowledge and are very easy to criticize.

This is why when Nie Wei originally created the script, he found Captain Liu's team and many professionals as consultants, hoping to make as few mistakes as possible in this regard.

Too many slices of life have always been a taboo in disaster movies, but slices of life are indispensable.

Because a character needs to be enriched through these life fragments to make them multi-faceted, so that the image will be full and vivid.

This is a great test of the director's skills.

The method Nie Wei uses is to bury the foreshadowing of the main plot in these life fragments, and vaguely combine these seemingly fragmented life fragments together.

In this way, when the audience watches this movie, they will not feel that the life fragments are too trivial.

At this moment, in another theater in Kyoto, Boss Wang, Feng Xiaopao and Xu Fan were also watching this movie. Of course, Boss Wang did not want to support Nie Wei, the purpose of his coming was to watch this movie. What is the quality of the movie?

If the movie doesn't perform as expected, Boss Wang doesn't mind secretly giving Nie Wei a little stumbling block.

Boss Wang brought Feng Xiaopao with him because he naturally wanted to hear more opinions from such 'professionals'. As a great director, Feng Xiaopao would definitely be able to see many problems that ordinary people could not see.

Compared with the thoughts that Boss Wang secretly poked in his heart, Feng Xiaopao was much more upright.

The reason why he agreed to Boss Wang's invitation was purely because he was interested in this movie. Otherwise, he would not have brought his wife with him. Of course, as a director, he would indeed unconsciously bring it into the professional field that he is good at. The position of a critic.

However, these were all for substandard works, and Feng Xiaopao never hesitated to praise excellent works.

"How was the movie?" Boss Wang couldn't wait to ask after watching the beginning.

"Nie Wei's control of rhythm is really good." Feng Xiaopao praised: "This beginning, it is obviously a daily life shot, but it does not give people a feeling of procrastination. It is really worthy of being established in Hollywood." A great director who can hold his own.”

"It's really good. I didn't feel bored watching the trivial scenes of life, and the relationships between the characters were handled very cleverly." Xu Fan couldn't help but agree.

Boss Wang almost rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking that I didn't invite you two to watch a movie just to praise Nie Wei.

"Don't you think there are too many characters on the stage and it seems messy?" Boss Wang racked his brains, thought of an entry point, and asked again.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiaopao retorted unceremoniously: "What's confusing? Let's take the leading actors as an example. Every character's appearance and even dialogue have a purpose. Don't say anything else." Yes, take the shots of the protagonist’s home, they are all explaining the background of the mission.”

"Look at the books on the captain's desk, as well as the military medals and bomber models on the bookshelf on the wall. Which shot is meaningless?"

At the end of his speech, Feng Xiaopao smiled self-deprecatingly: "If this is considered messy, then all domestic directors, including me, can only say that what they film is a mess."

Boss Wang opened his mouth, but in the end he had nothing to say.

Feng Xiaopao fully affirmed the beginning of the movie, which made him feel a little disappointed. He didn't know how much he hoped that Nie Wei could fail once.

This is purely out of jealousy and a kind of disbelief, because as a director, from the beginning of his first film to now, all of Nie Wei's works have achieved very good results.

Just when Boss Wang was gloomy, Feng Xiaopao suddenly said: "But this is just the beginning. The excitement and difficulty of disaster movies are in the later disasters. If that part is not handled well, it will be useless to be exciting at the beginning."

"Yes, Director Feng, what you said is not wrong at all." Boss Wang felt hopeful again.

On the side, Xu Fan glanced at Boss Wang and rolled his eyes quietly. She saw all of Boss Wang's petty ways. Boss Wang's secretive poking and malicious look seemed to her like a special villain. .

Thinking about Xu Fan, even if you don't like Nie Wei, you still have to compete openly and openly, with your works or the achievements of your artists. If you can suppress Nie Wei's head, then this is your ability.

Boss Wang only dared to hide in the corner and hope that Nie Wei would make mistakes. Xu Fan looked down on this person from the bottom of his heart.

The subsequent story progress is not slow, and many supporting characters also appear in an orderly manner. Through one or two simple dialogues or an action, the character's background and personality are shown.

As a film critic, Li Lu will naturally not miss this kind of annual blockbuster.

Ten minutes into the screening, in her eyes, the beginning of "Captain China" is perfect. Nie Wei's control of rhythm has become more and more perfect, and the handling of the relationship between the characters is also very good, especially the appearance of all living beings at the airport. In two minutes, the backgrounds and personalities of many important supporting characters are clearly explained.

This guy, Li Lu, seems to have the hard power as a director.

If you give the same script to another director, he just can't produce Nie Wei's effect.

However, it is far from the right time to give this movie a high score in Li Lu's opinion. She and Feng Xiaopao have the same view. The core of a disaster film is always the process of solving the disaster. No matter how well the relationship between the characters is handled, if the process of solving the disaster is filmed in a mess, it is also a bad film.

At the same time, Li Lu is still a little worried that Nie Wei's work will also make the same problem as many domestic works.

The story continues.

The plot of the story begins to revolve around the airport and the cockpit, which is a typical closed shooting.

When the story progresses to this point, the handling of the relationship between the characters becomes more important. Some inexperienced directors can easily cause the "messy feeling" mentioned by Boss Wang.

However, Nie Wei still did not disappoint his fans.

In the story before Nie Wei took off, the flight attendants, the captain and the passengers were not separated, but many trivial things cleverly linked the three together.

In fact, these three are originally a supply and demand relationship.

Especially between the flight attendants and passengers, one provides service and the other enjoys service, which is a necessary process. As for the flight attendants and the captain, Nie Wei uses two simple emotional lines to make a connection, and there is no need to dig too deeply, just like a dragonfly skimming the water.

This will not make the audience feel that a disaster film is full of a lot of love elements, which will ruin the atmosphere, but it will not make the film too lack of sweet elements.

In this part of the story, Yuan Quan, who plays the chief steward Bi Nan, is undoubtedly the most outstanding.

The calmness, professionalism, and ease of dealing with problems in this role are very well performed by Yuan Quan. Facing the difficult first-class customers, the chief steward played by Yuan Quan responded neither servilely nor arrogantly, which also made many audiences applaud.

"The public's attitude towards service is more inclined to fairness." Li Lu couldn't help thinking in her heart after watching this section.

Why did the audience applaud at the scene? It was because the chief steward played by Yuan Quan had the same attitude when dealing with economy class and first-class customers.

The enjoyment brought by money consumption is an irreparable gap, but the attitude can be equal, which is exactly what many service industries cannot do nowadays.

I don’t know how many waiters are perfunctory or even indifferent to ordinary customers, but extremely flattering to high-end customers.

This difference in attitude also makes many ordinary people feel indignant.

We all come to consume, so you can’t treat me as God just because I spend less?

Nie Wei has officially grasped the public’s mind, so he deliberately created the difficult customer and the flight attendant’s textbook-like response this time, which made the role of the flight attendant gain countless favorability points in the hearts of the audience.

"Really smart." Li Lu admired in his heart.

To make the audience like a movie, let the audience try to like a character in the movie first. This is also what Li Lu admired. Nie Wei cleverly won the public’s favor for the role of the flight attendant through a very small thing.

Of course, this seemingly simple thing is actually not easy to do.

Why do some directors make movies that the public can’t remember a single character after watching the whole movie? This is the problem of character creation.

How a character can gain the public's favor based on itself is definitely a profound knowledge, just like Nie Wei's handling of the problem between the flight attendant and the passenger, which involves the character's own personality, the responsibility of the character's profession, and social issues.

The character's personality is easy to understand. You can't let a calm character go crazy and scold others, and naturally you can't let a cynical character persuade people seriously.

The person who said this line must be a person with the right character personality, so that the public can accept it as a matter of course.

There are five people in the flight attendant team. Only the age and personality of the flight attendant are suitable for saying this. If any of the other four people say this, it will not have the same effect.

And the responsibility of the role's profession is to consider the background of the role.

For example, the first-class passenger did not target the flight attendant at the beginning, but the flight attendant played by Tian Ai, and the flight attendant stood up when the two were in a stalemate.

In reality, this is also the responsibility of the flight attendant.

Finally, the social issue is the most clever. It must arouse the audience's indignation or resonance, and at the same time, it cannot be too deliberate to please the audience.

Another thing that makes Li Lu feel that Nie Wei is very powerful is that the total length of this conflict to the resolution is only about 30 seconds. The resolution is neat and tidy, and the goodwill is also neat and tidy.

"Director Nie's control of rhythm is really amazing." Xu Fan exclaimed, and Feng Xiaopao couldn't help nodding after hearing it.

He also enjoyed watching this conflict just now. Although in reality, Feng Xiaopao is a privileged person, but when encountering unreasonable people like in the movie, any normal person will be very unhappy.

The way the flight attendant solved it was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was polite and persistent, which made Feng Xiaopao feel very comfortable.

However, Boss Wang on the side was very upset.

Twenty minutes have passed since the movie was played, and Boss Wang really didn't find any complaints, including the conflict on the plane just now, which was completed naturally and cleverly from the beginning to the resolution.

If Boss Wang were an ordinary audience, he would definitely give a thumbs up to the movie in his heart for these 20 minutes.

But who made him hold back his bad heart?

The better Nie Wei's movie is, the more unhappy he is, which also makes him feel uneasy. If Feng Xiaopao and Xu Fan were not still there, and these two people were invited by him, Boss Wang might have gotten up and left.

Of course, not all audiences are so professional in their analysis.

"How can Lin Yifei still be so beautiful?"

"Yuan Quan's temperament is really good, not inferior to those young actresses at all."

"Tian Ai and Lin Qin are also very cute."

"Cheng Kun is too A in the captain's uniform."

The appearance party has never lacked a sense of presence, and this movie is really full of handsome men and beautiful women, which really dazzled this group of people.

When Lin Yifei came out, a group of people praised Lin Yifei for her beauty. When Lin Qin smiled, they immediately shifted their attention and praised Lin Qin for her beautiful smile.

When Tian Ai turned around and looked back again, they praised Tian Ai for her long legs, beauty and strong aura.

Cheng Kun, Ou Hao, Du Jiang and other handsome guys were treated similarly.

Fortunately, they are all professional actors, and their beauty did not steal the show. The audience enjoyed the show, but it did not distract them.

Including the few shots in which Yang Ying appeared, the girl's performance was also remarkable.

"I didn't expect that I would finally see Yang Ying not staring at her eyes when she was acting." Some viewers silently complained in their hearts.

This is also the most criticized problem of Yang Ying's eyes.

When she was acting, she tried too hard, and her eyes were big, which would unconsciously show on the muscles around her eyes, which also led to the audience always complaining that she was staring whether she was angry or happy.

But this time, Yang Ying's performance really exceeded the expectations of the public.

Originally, everyone thought that Yang Ying would be the only failure in this movie. Who would have thought that Yang Ying, who only appeared for less than a minute, performed very naturally, changing her previous artificial acting skills.

Some of the audience members are fans of Yang Ying. Although they usually defend their idol's acting skills, some of them also think that their idol's acting skills are indeed lacking.

It was just Yang Ying's performance of just a few dozen seconds today that finally gave these fans a glimmer of hope.
