What kind of suspense film is best for audiences? The most enjoyable?
It is undoubtedly the kind of thing that you already think you have guessed, but the result is completely unexpected.
And there is no doubt that "The Invisible Guest" did it!
And not just once.
"It's simply breathtaking. This is the most enjoyable suspense film I have ever seen. I believe the audience will be amazed after watching it!"
"I can only say that I really don't know how my brain grows. When I finally took off my makeup, I was completely dumbfounded!"
"I once thought that what the actor said was true, but I can only say that this movie is really amazing!"
Representatives from many theaters watching the movie were all impressed with it.
For them, as representatives of theaters watching movies, it is actually quite difficult sometimes, because this is their job. Although the bonus is that they can preview the movie first, but if they encounter a bad movie, it will be really difficult. It's hard, but when you encounter a good movie, especially a suspenseful mystery movie like this, because they see it for the first time, there are no spoilers, so the movie-watching experience is the best.
This is also true. For a movie like "The Invisible Guest", although spoilers will not greatly affect the plot of the movie, it will definitely affect the audience's viewing experience.
For example, if you know from the beginning that the lawyer is pretending to be a lawyer, which is the biggest foreshadowing, then the movie-watching experience will be completely different.
Zhao Guangming is also worried about this.
But Li Yi didn't care that much about this.
In fact, just like when he and Chen Wen asked them for the first time, he even told them the truth immediately, but it didn't make the movie much worse.
"Don't worry, if you know some clues, such as the identity of the female lawyer, then the audience's focus will actually shift. For example, they will be curious, how did the male protagonist tell the truth? Of course. The movie-watching experience will definitely be a little worse, but it doesn’t hurt!”
The screening was undoubtedly a great success.
There is no need to worry about the filming schedule of "The Invisible Guest". As for spoilers, it is actually not bad, because in fact many people do not go online to read movie reviews, and those first batch of film critics and media people may spoil some of them. , but only a small part of it will be spoiled.
This is very helpful for publicity. It is impossible to expect that there will be no spoilers at all.
The special screening for the media and film critics started soon.
As a result, the atmosphere of the scene was no less than that of the internal movie viewing party, and exclamations would erupt from time to time in the theater.
And the subsequent film reviews are also particularly interesting.
"The script is so exciting, with foreshadowing everywhere, reversals at every level, fiction and reality intertwined, and undercurrents surging. Those who are smart often fail miserably, but only those who remain calm can have the last laugh."
"All suspense movies that love to play with twists and turns can be summed up in one sentence: What you think you think is what you think. Anyway, this movie will definitely make people feel that they are uneducated, and they will go all over the world with just one sentence!"
"Actually, I didn't have high expectations for this movie directed by Gou, but the result exceeded expectations! The final ending is even more shocking!"
"How should I put it? It's really like riding a roller coaster, going down, up, down, up. You never know what kind of reversal will happen at the next moment!"
"The final reversal is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the weaving of multiple structures and interlocking dialogues. It is very difficult to write and is particularly prone to bugs. However, Director Gou did it beautifully. Director Gou is awesome PLUS!"
"Just keep proving this: people are very bad, so bad that you can't even imagine it, especially those high-ranking social elites. Only by being so heart-wrenching can we understand why the male protagonist takes risks. The final ending will naturally fall into a common Routine: The villain dies because he talks too much. As a movie, in addition to creating cold colors and making it dark, it still has the feeling of deliberately creating tension, suspense, and horror. Also, I finally understand that so many people want to think about it when they see it!"
"In order to cover up a lie, you need more lies. If you trample on human nature once, it will be easier next time. As the story progresses, you can guess some twists and turns, but the tense rhythm and the plot without any nonsense time can attract you to keep watching. , the reversal leads to the next reversal, and when the truth is fully revealed, you must say hello."
"Every link is connected, and the screenwriter's logic is really rigorous, I admire it. The acting skills of the lead actor are also incredible. It is a feast of brain power and acting skills. The whole process follows the rhythm of the movie. This is a good movie!"
"I just like movies that play with the audience but don't treat them like idiots."
"Visible guests come in grandly and force out the truth; invisible guests sneak out without a trace and are filled with doubts. There are visible corners in people's hearts, pretending to be kind and I will repair your car if it breaks down; there are also visible ones. The missing corners contain the evil that cannot tolerate your survival. The business world’s determination to kill has turned into emotional cold-blooded cruelty, and the agencies have tried their best but underestimated the pain of losing a child.”
It can be said that it has received almost unanimous praise, which naturally makes this movie more and more exciting.
On the other side, Xu Feng secretly watched the movie.
Then, when he came back, all he could do was sigh.
In fact, of course they could target it in terms of public opinion, but in the end Xu Feng gave up the idea and said, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Well, actually, even if you do this, what will happen?
At most, they are just hurting each other. The key is that what he did before has already made many people in the circle criticize, so he still wants to save face.
Of course, the more important thing is that if he does this, Li Yi can do the same when the time comes. The key issue still lies in the quality of the movie itself. The audience is not a fool. A good movie will not be degraded by some people's disparagement. The public suddenly became confused.
The famous Hong Kong veteran film critic Liao Liao immediately posted his film review online.
""The Invisible Guest" is undoubtedly the most watched movie nowadays. When I was chatting with my friends some time ago, everyone mentioned the suspense and mystery films in recent years. In fact, I usually like crime suspense films. There is no special interest in it, because in many such films, it is difficult to see any sense of surprise in them.
Li Yi has a great reputation and a lot of aura, but undoubtedly, his reputation and aura are difficult to associate with suspense and mystery films.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, Director Li Yi has always been good at this aspect, such as "The Truman Show". Everyone focuses on the amazing creativity of this movie, but they ignore it. In fact, this is also a A suspense film.
There is no doubt that Li Yi handles it very well. Although he has not shot many such movies, they are different from most movies of the same type nowadays. They often have very simple stories, but he can still tell the story. Create completely different new ideas, such as "The Sixth Sense", which is also a suspense masterpiece.
But these are more focused on plot rather than reasoning!
Originally, I didn’t have high expectations for his movies, because, to be honest, it seems that it is difficult for movies with suspense and mystery themes to have anything new and exciting.
It wasn't until I watched the movie "The Invisible Guest" yesterday that I was amazed that suspense movies can still be shot this way.
Yes, Li Yi once again refreshed my understanding of suspense films.
The case of "The Invisible Guest" is not complicated and confusing. In fact, the whole case is actually very simple, but the feeling of filming it is completely different.
A reasoning friend once talked to me. He said that suspense reasoning works are nothing more than two ways, one is to complicate the simple, and the other is to simplify the complex, but the latter is undoubtedly more complicated than the former. It’s easy and it’s the mainstream nowadays.
I never thought that watching a suspense mystery movie could have so many twists and turns in the plot, which would make your brain feel like a roller coaster, going up and down suddenly, leaving you at a loss for what to do. After reading it, I just want to say one word: "Good!"
So, what's so good about this movie? If you only say it's good but can't say what's good about it, it proves that you don't understand the movie enough, and watching it is in vain. Also, I can’t recommend it to you.
Let’s talk about it below.
First of all, the plot of the movie is good, the script is good, and the story is good. We all know that suspense and reasoning films have much higher requirements for scripts than other films, and they must create reversal plots and make every reversal logically consistent. This requires real effort. Hard work alone is not enough. You also need the talent of storytelling to be attractive enough.
This reminds me of those movies that are called brain-burning, but actually treat the audience as fools. What is a truly good-looking brain-burning movie?
It’s not a movie that makes the audience confused, confused, or confused, but a movie that leaves people stunned and surprised every time it turns around, but they suddenly realize it when they think about it carefully.
To put it simply, it means that there should be no big bugs in logic!
A good story must be logically able to withstand scrutiny, the plot is exciting enough, and the ending is surprising enough. The characters will not be overshadowed when placed inside, but will complement the story.
A good story is a skeleton. Without a skeleton, no matter how good the actors are, no matter how much investment is made, no matter how dazzling the stunts are, they are all rootless and lack tension.
A story that captures people's hearts and rejects all conventions. It must be sincere and vivid in order to gain a place in the audience's heart. Any perfunctory or impetuous approach is doomed to failure. The audience is not stupid, and the masses have sharp eyes.
Secondly, the details of the movie are good. The story is the framework, and the details are the embellishments. If the details are handled well, the embellishments are flowers. If it is not handled well, the details will be bugs, misunderstandings, and failures. It might even ruin the entire movie.
There are many details in "The Invisible Guest", but every detail is not meaningless.
We all know that a truly good movie usually has very few useless scenes.
For example, at the beginning of the movie, before entering the male protagonist's room, the female lawyer took a deep breath and straightened her collar, showing that she was very nervous. In order to avoid spoilers, I won’t go into details here, but I believe many people will think these scenes are redundant when they first see them.
When the male protagonist and her arrived at a key place, she deliberately placed the pen vertically with the other end facing the male protagonist. The camera also gives this action a close-up, which seems pointless. Finally, the mystery was revealed, and we found out that the pen had a hidden recording function.
When she heard the cause of her boy's death, she could not hide the sadness in her eyes, but she was quickly overcome by reason, because there was still an enemy standing in front of her, and she had to work up her energy to get evidence to avenge the boy.
Also, I don’t know if you have noticed that when the male protagonist and his mistress took a shortcut, there was a wild animal sign at their fork in the road, suggesting that wild animals were infested on this road. Foreshadowing the subsequent car accident.
Details and foreshadowing cannot be buried casually. Movies are different from many feature films where foreshadowing can be kept buried. In the end, even the author himself forgets the foreshadowing he had laid before.
Movies are different. Movie time is very limited, and so are the shots. Therefore, every foreshadowing, wherever and when it is buried, must be filled in reasonably in the follow-up, otherwise, those foreshadowings will become discarded shots.
In addition, the movie portrays the characters well. Gao Daquan, the facial makeup character is no longer popular, because everyone knows that it is unreal. Human nature is very complicated. Except for a few people who are very good and very evil, most people just seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They are not good or bad people.
In the movie, each character shows the most profound humanity under specific circumstances. Even the main villain doesn't want to kill people from the beginning. From an extramarital affair, to a car accident, to murder, to frame-up, from his perspective, every step is a last resort. All to protect his wealth and status.
From a lawyer's perspective, the same right and wrong of good and evil no longer seem to be important. What is important is to put the interests of the employer first.
There is a word called "refined egoist", and the male protagonist should be a "cruel egotist." Killing people when others stand in their way, and killing Buddha when they stand in the way of Buddha. Everything serves personal goals.
The case of the movie is very contradictory, but also reasonable.
Many people may think that it was just a car accident. Even if the perpetrator was driving on the wrong side of the road, it is not a murder. So the matter can be solved by paying money. The male protagonist who does not seem to be short of money has no need to kill anyone.
At first glance, it seems that the movie case itself is very unreasonable, but this is the wonderful part of the movie.
We have underestimated human nature and what a "refined egoist" is!
I underestimated the confidence and arrogance of a self-made man with a successful career!
His intelligence, his conceitedness, and his selfishness allowed him to do cases that seemed absurd to ordinary people, but were actually very realistic.
So the "invisible guest" is the evil and unknown human heart beneath the mask!
In fact, if this story is extended, it will be more horrifying than the so-called ending shown in the movie.
Let me ask, if everything is true, will he really be brought to justice?
Finally, I would like to share with you a sentence at the beginning of the video, a sentence worth recalling: without pain, there is no salvation! "
