The only actor who has nothing to do with the reshoots is Simon Yam. Anyway, he has not made any announcements in the near future. He just walks around with the crew and treats it as a free trip.
Another half month later, after bidding farewell to everyone, Liu Qingshan entered the intense post-editing process.
On September 15, "The Big Event" was officially released.
The eight-minute long shot in the opening scene, which is full of technical content, almost blinded the audience's eyes. At least in Chinese movies, it is rare to see such a long shot of sports with high technical content.
A long shot of several minutes is used to show a shootout that was quite embarrassing for the police. It is exciting and demonstrates the narrative skills.
Not only does it fully demonstrate the pseudo-documentary style of reality, it also outlines the status of all parties involved, as well as a calm and objective narrative attitude.
Long shots have always been a shooting technique that directors dare not try easily, because it is very easy to produce dry and boring side effects, and the dullness of the picture will directly make the audience drowsy.
In this set of pictures, long shots and hand-held shaking shots abound, injecting a large amount of realism, creating a maximum sense of confrontation between all characters using still movements, The scene effect is shocking.
This highly stylized shootout scene particularly highlights the protagonist's ferociousness and even a somewhat domineering sense of déjà vu. It captures the audience's investment from the very beginning, and every minute is full of excitement. Sense of urgency.
The cinematic skill of not wasting even a single frame also shocked many fellow directors. Perhaps they were sighing in their hearts that a new era of cinema was coming.
The whole movie never focuses on portraying anyone, but it can show each character vividly.
What it tells is by no means a simple cat and mouse matter. There are some thought-provoking contents behind it, such as the methods of crisis public relations when emergencies occur. This film tells us specifically about media public relations in crisis public relations. implementation strategy.
The plot is exciting and exciting. During a fierce gun battle between police and robbers, a sir took the initiative to surrender to the culprits. The police tried to save his good image in front of the public and did not hesitate to deploy a large number of police forces to conduct a "real live broadcast of police catching robbers." A good show."
Unexpected and unexpected events were worse than planned, and the story did not go so smoothly. The police used screening, editing, piecing together, and arranging real live broadcast clips that they thought were seamless, and the direction of public opinion began to be positive.
But the gangsters were not to be outdone and restored the real scene to the Internet, causing an uproar among citizens and the media.
The gangsters and the hostages even cooked and ate around the table, while the police "tit-for-tat" to please the media at the scene and gave each person a box of lunch, essentially warming up the media in an attempt to guide the media to write positive public opinions.
Next, the elements of live broadcast, media, and public opinion reaction were added to the psychological warfare between police and criminals, which also gave this film its own distinctive characteristics.
The description of details is also different from the usual shooting techniques of previous police and criminal films.
For example, the two gang leaders communicate in a normal way, which is full of the smoke and fire of the world. The bad guys are also ordinary people, who also have food, rice, oil and salt, and they once wanted to live a good life.
This film expresses a lot of things without any unnecessary feeling, giving people a rich, full and compressed sense of high-end.
The entire scene was miniaturized in one day, one place, and one residential building, and a large number of smooth and coherent one-shot shots were used.
Even ordinary people who don't know how to appreciate it can clearly feel that there is some skill in it, and no one tells the story like that unless they are deliberate.
The sense of absurdity, irony, sadness, and warmth are almost everywhere in the film, and they are naked and sharp, with an edge and a heart, showing you all kinds of things in real society. Live experience.
At the end of the story, A Yuan, who was supposed to rob a cash transport truck, suddenly changed his profession and became a killer.
Heng was supposed to be a murderer, but he also temporarily changed his profession and became a robber.
The plot of this drama is tense enough, and the irony is sad enough. In fact, life is like this sometimes. There are some people who just want to fight against the rules of society. As for how to fight, killing is also a problem.
Well, whether it's robbery or robbery, that's not the point.
Hong Kong's great director Wang Jiawei said a sentence when being interviewed by reporters outside the cinema, which well verified the huge success of this film.
"It was such a fierce gun battle right from the beginning. In terms of the smoothness of the dispatch and the sense of space, I'm afraid no one in the country can match it."
His words were also reflected in the box office on the second day. The same world premiere, with a box office of 83 million Chinese dollars, has said everything.
In the next few days, in addition to the still frightening high box office, almost half of the actors in the drama became famous.
Fang Jiexia's image as a capable boss, the impulsive, irritable, tenacious and desperate police officer Zhang Zhiheng, the deep personality, intangible mood and anger, and resourceful gang leader...
In short, in the summer of this year, "Big Event" seemed to come out of nowhere, and it shocked the entire market as soon as it appeared.
Not many people could have imagined that a group of gangsters in the movie would actually create a movie-watching craze at the end of summer.
In fact, Liu Qingshan did not expect such a result. His original intention was to use it to practice his directing ability on similar themes in advance. He even thought that his second directorial work would receive a lot of negative reviews.
There was even a time when he had some doubts about his own judgment.
However, judging from the global film reviews after a week of screening, it is clear that behind the high box office is his horror influence, but the novelty of the subject matter and the stunning opening are both indispensable factors.
In fact, he had placed his highest expectations on the "Ip Man" that had just been filmed. This unexpected surprise really caught him off guard.
But at this time, he had already returned to Kyoto and had no more time to continue to immerse himself in it, because the filming of the two military-themed TV series had reached the end.
Although he was not responsible for the final editing, Liu Qingshan's opinions were valued by both crews.
The reliance of various production units on him is not groundless, nor is it something that hinders Liu Qingshan's face, but no one wants to have a script signed by him that will face Waterloo in their own hands for the first time.
Just because he has never failed to write a script himself, if unfortunately he falls into the trap, it will only be the director, not him, whose reputation will be damaged.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Liu Qingshan is now an absolute hot commodity in the market. When he got his script, he also faced huge psychological pressure.
Therefore, inviting him to supervise the post-production editing is the common wish of almost every producer and distributor.
It is precisely for these reasons that Liu Qingshan is always welcomed by Gao Jieyuan wherever he goes.
This time Jin Xishan was with her again. She was responsible for setting up the next project of Snowland Entertainment, and the basic structure has been completed, just waiting for Liu Qingshan's schedule to be freed up.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
When Li Youbin saw him, he had a look of complaint on his face: "You know what, I didn't take a shower for more than three months on the set, and no one even came close to talk to me. That feeling of disgust was It’s so sad that you can’t imagine it!”
The crew has now finished filming in Jinzhong and is now back on the set outside Kyoto to do some additional filming.
The image of Li Yunlong during the war in the play is really unbearably slovenly. Even the collar of the shirt inside the military uniform seems to always be black. This is one of the main reasons why the original version can become a classic even though it is a bit shoddy.
Because this is the most authentic makeup look of soldiers during the war. During the most difficult years of poverty, having a pair of shoes with no holes at all was a luxury in those days.
The fact that many soldiers wear straw sandals in winter is by no means an effect of later generations' propaganda, but a cruel reality that actually existed.
Hearing his words, Liu Qingshan quickly cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Mr. Li, it's my fault. If you don't win the award for this drama this time, I will make up for your losses in other ways."
"There are also psychological traumas!" Jin Xishan added at the right moment, eliciting laughter.
At this time, Geng Cheng and Mi Jianxiang from Liu's class came over to say hello.
Liu Qingshan nodded, "You didn't cause any trouble to the crew, did you? Don't embarrass the Liu family class!"
Zhang Guangbei, who played Chu Yunfei, gave them a thumbs up: "Shanzi, these two guys you found for us are really strong. Do you remember there was a competition between Li Yunlong and me where our respective men had a competition? Good guy, Jianxiang actually kicked down a wall with one foot, and the eyes of the women at the scene will light up when they see him!"
Li Youbin also nodded: "According to the script, what he was going to kick down was an earth wall, and we found it accordingly. Maybe we discovered after it collapsed that there was a masonry structure inside, and the thick mud wall was just the exterior!"
"There was also the fight between Duan Peng and Wei Dayong. It was a real fight with fists and punches, and it stunned all of us!" Zhang Guangbei was still sighing loudly.
