From the beginning, the movie has no plot.
In other words, the main plot this time is natural disaster!
After facing natural disasters, various departments and the people's attitude towards natural disasters.
To be honest, the movie still has some artistic elements in it.
But when the fire officers, law enforcers, doctors and soldiers came up, almost everyone had tears in their eyes.
The first half is about natural disasters, but the second half is about rescue and self-rescue.
This movie does not qualify as a standard commercial movie. Although there is emotional processing in it, it is not overly sensational and hits the mark.
It looks a bit strange, like a promotional film.
Although the price of this special effect is already worth the ticket price, some people are still a little disappointed.
But it gave everyone a great shock.
The movie Tangshan Earthquake has not yet been released.
It can be said that this is the first natural disaster movie, and it is a 3D version.
Liu Shishi tried his best to comfort the children trapped in the rubble and refused to let them sleep.
Because she knew that once she fell asleep, she might never wake up again.
In another city, Yang Mi, who was wearing a white coat and his face covered with sweat, was also delivering a child who was suppressed. The mother was already dying, but she was working hard to provide a survival environment for the child in her belly.
The soldiers worked tirelessly and dug day and night.
The area of the earthquake is too large. In order to explore the situation in various places.
Many paratroopers parachuted out in extremely bad conditions to mark the locations where supplies needed to be dropped.
In the face of natural disasters, almost everyone is doing whatever they can to save themselves.
There is no deliberate sensationalism in this paragraph, but after the baby was born, the loud cries, and the people working in various professions on the front line, even when they were exhausted and exhausted, they still couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I need to eat! I haven't eaten for a day!"
"Why don't you save my mother! I hate you!"
"My bankbook, my money. What do you people from the Earthquake Bureau do for food?"
Where there are voices of gratitude, there will be voices of complaint.
Although the movie doesn't show much evil, it is a little more realistic.
Some people are struggling to move forward, while others are complaining.
The audience fell into deep thought after seeing it.
He seems very angry now, but what if it happened to him?
Liu Yifei is the savior, but she didn't choose to save the mother who lost too much blood before. Did she just ignore it?
Will the brigade commander be punished?
Although he was rescuing people, he didn't get orders from his superiors!
All this is confusing to the audience.
Why shoot like this?
Come up with a touching story and exaggerate the natural disaster.
It can even be divided into several independent short stories.
The dedication of the fire captain, the persistence of the law enforcers, the brigade commander's 'disobedience' in disaster relief, the doctors played by Liu Yifei and Yang Mi sacrificed themselves to save others, and the teacher played by Liu Shishi disregarded his own life.
No matter which one it is, it can be shot into a touching movie.
But it seemed a bit rushed.
However, from the beginning of the movie to the present, the horror of natural disasters is fully demonstrated.
And it also contains a lot of tips for dealing with disasters.
The most important thing is to let the public know the government's emergency measures and procedures.
Half commercial movie, half popular science movie?
At the end of the movie, the sun shines brightly.
All the disasters have passed, and countless supplies have come in from all over the country.
From time to time people were dug out of the rubble.
The movie is here and has finished playing.
Finished?
Many viewers did not react.
The movie tickets this time are definitely cheaper than those at Changjin Lake.
Because it usually only takes more than an hour.
There is no sensational music, and there is no ending.
Not even the fire chief's ending is stated.
Is this directed by Su Yi?
If you just look at the special effects, you can definitely match the number.
But this plot always seems to be pieced together.
It's not a well-polished script, it's more like a documentary.
But those things that happened during the earthquake are remembered by people.
Especially things encountered in movie plots.
Stay away from telephone poles and high-rise buildings. When faced with strong earthquakes, try to get as close to the table as possible. For minor vibrations, get under the table, etc.
And even if you are trapped, you must have faith.
Someone will definitely come to save you!
Must persist!
Many people walked out of the cinema in a daze.
They didn't expect any Easter eggs.
But I saw the fresh air and bright lights outside.
They understand that no natural disaster occurred and they were not buried under the ruins. This is the best easter egg!
·····
The next day.
This time, Su Yi's film received more than just positive reviews.
Whether it is intentional or spontaneous.
But there are many more negative comments!
"Is Su Yi's talent exhausted?"
"IMAX·3D special effects are great, but the plot is not rich enough! They seem to be in a hurry to shoot!"
"To put it bluntly, this is a very rough movie! It's even a patchwork movie!"
"I admit, the special effects of the movie are very good, and the acting skills of several actors are also top-notch! But it is far different from the previous works produced by Su Yi, which must be considered high-quality! If one of the stories can be filmed well, it will still be very good! But I feel like I’m biting off more than I can chew!”
"I feel pretty good! Are you questioning directors who have won Oscars and Cannes Film Festivals?"
"Yes, this movie is thought-provoking. It does not use the usual sensational techniques, but it makes people feel the infinite beauty of being in the Dragon Kingdom. It also has done homework for the relevant departments! If such a thing happens, just copy it!"
"I don't think so. This can't be a script that Su Yi could have written by himself! It's more like a promotional video! All departments worked together to save the people in the disaster area!"
The discussion on the Internet is very loud.
But no matter what, the Douban score is only 7.8!
This is the lowest rating Su Yi has received since he made a movie.
Su Yi did not make any response.
And they didn't seem to pay attention, and even seemed to disappear.
Seeing that there was no response from Su Yi, and even the entire cast and crew were silent, some people became even more arrogant.
media interview.
"Genius depends on the needs of the times to determine whether it should exist. I am not familiar with director Su Yi, but I think there is no such thing as genius. A successful movie requires the efforts of too many people."
Chen Kaige coughed, but did not target Su Yi, and even revealed the relationship between the two.
But everyone knows that he is talking about Su Yi.
"Then I would like to ask you, is "Farewell My Concubine" also a credit to the entire crew!"
Some reporters asked 'sharp' questions.
Chen Kaige paused and suddenly became a little angry.
Does he know what this movie is about? It has something to do with his father and the actors.
However, because the real protagonist Su Yi could not be found, interviews were conducted with famous directors such as Chen Kaige.
Zhang Yimou avoided answering, and Ning Hao, the director of the New Generation and Sixth Generation, left with a dark face and refused to answer any questions.
Several celebrities who were blocked by reporters did not express any opinions.
Even some of the freshmen who had participated in the heroic attack before did not answer.
What a joke, offending Su Yi when the situation is unclear?
crazy!
Su Yi is not only a director, but also represents the officialdom.
Such a person does not fall down casually, and only Chen Kaige can criticize him.
But I dare not say it too obviously.
"As for this movie, I watched it and it is indeed similar to what was said on the Internet."
Chen Kaige directly used his 'ultimate move'.
No matter how incompetent he is, he is also the best director at the Palme d'Or.
There is still a certain weight to what he says, although he doesn't dare to say too much.
But no matter what, at least there is freedom of speech!
And it’s not going to stop anyway.
Moreover, Chen Kaige has finally figured out that even if he is soft on Su Yi now, it will be of no use.
Because even if you give in, it won't be a shame, and Su Yi won't do anything.
It is better to take this opportunity to knock down Su Yi's reputation. Chen Kaige is not too worried about other things.
Because he knew that he would never be able to catch up in other fields in his lifetime, he simply kept working hard to the end.
Anyway, in a dispute between two directors, Han Sanping would not have too obvious bias, let alone other departments of the system.
"Excuse me, what do you mean by what is said online? Can you explain it to us in detail?"
One of the reporters suddenly asked that after the premiere of the movie, the pre-sale box office was 50 million. Including the actual tickets sold, it was almost 160 million, which is already a very high box office.
However, the online reputation is polarized. Even though Chen Kaige has been on the street for the past two years, he is still qualified to comment on the movie.
"Many people on the Internet say that this drama is the work of director Su Yi who has exhausted his talents. I disagree with this point, but human talent has its limits after all. But after all, director Su Yi opened up the box office of Dragon Kingdom. Market. I don’t deny this, but it also proves that the public is very supportive of good movies. Some movies that make money without any sincerity will definitely be scolded!”
Chen Kaige had something to say and did not dare to directly rebuke Su Yi.
After all, he is still the director within the system.
But in this case, it still makes sense.
After all, this movie ticket costs more than 100 yuan.
In 2008, it was still very expensive to go to the movies for more than 100 yuan.
Even in 2023, many people will watch movies on sale for more than ten yuan.
And it accounts for the majority.
Chen Kaige was not afraid at all. Chen Hong was a little worried, but he soon felt relieved.
After all, Chen Kaige is not the first to talk about Su Yi.
Many film critics felt that this movie was shoddy, which somewhat damaged Su Yi's previous reputation.
There are even many newspapers that use the expression "deep love and deep responsibility".
It also proves that Su Yi is not one-note in the film industry, and there is no official criticism!
After the premiere, some people criticized Su Yi that night.
And the most important thing is that Su Yi did not respond, and the same was true for other actors.
Even if the news can let more people know, it proves that the government will not care.
That's why Chen Kaige answered this question head-on in the interview.
Anyway, everyone said that if you want to settle accounts after the fall, you can't just come to me, right?
And it was precisely because of Su Yi's silence that so many critical voices emerged.
But Chen Kaige's own face is not bright either. After all, all the money he shot in the previous movies went to his grandma's house.
So after making a few comments, I left in a hurry.
But he finally had time to step on Su Yi, and he would not give up this opportunity.
Not only some film critics, but also netizens are divided into many 'factions' this time.
····
A certain forum.
"Su Yi's movie this time is a manifestation of his decline!"
"Pull it down, this movie was shot well!"
"You're still licking? If you don't get good grades, you'll be scolded! Only in this way can you make progress! We're not going to beat Su Yi to death with a stick!"
"The movie is full of special effects! And it's also very sincere. Although the 3D movie is very expensive, the 2D version is not expensive, and the plot seems loose, but if you think of the protagonist as a natural disaster, then you won't feel confused. "
"Fart, I'm watching a movie just to watch a natural disaster?"
"Liu Shishi's acting moved me! Those sounds of comfort made me cry. Although I also know that the movie is fictional, I would rather believe it!"
"Yang Mi must be a mature character. When delivering the baby, there is no sense of disobedience. The baby's cry, and the pregnant woman's eyes that were reluctant to leave before she died. Alas, even though the scene was short, it kept me awake all night. sleep!"
"Didn't anyone see the fire captain? He saved a whole city! But he inhaled too much poisonous gas and passed out! He is probably in a vegetative state!"
"When I saw the troops showing up, I really wanted to cry to death!"
"Come on, Su Yi's shots are really good, but they are too sensational! He is good at emotional shooting."
"This time we also have the support of law enforcement departments, the military, and the education department. There is definitely no shortage of these scripts and lenses."
"Anyway, I won't watch such an expensive educational film next time."
"Yes, I relax when I watch a movie, but this time it made me feel a lot heavier."
Netizens started discussing and arguing.
Many netizens are still sensible, but at the same time they also expressed their disappointment.
Many people even went to Su Yi's blog.
But he never got a response from Su Yi.
This matter quickly became a hot search topic.
The breakthrough acting skills of Kuangbiao's three girls ranked after more than 20.
The number one ranking is that Su Yi’s new movie is terrible!
The second most important thing is where the dialect in the movie comes from.
The third place is, after an earthquake strikes, can a city be turned into ruins in just a few dozen seconds? Is the power of an 8.0-magnitude earthquake comparable to ten strategic weapons?
The media and the Internet ignited the topic.
Natural disasters and earthquakes even caused panic in a small area.
Because the special effects are too real.
And the scenes filmed seem to be experienced personally.
Many media want to find Su Yi, want to interview Su Yi, and ask him why he wants to shoot in Wenzhou!
But Su Yi did not show up, as if he was really providing disaster relief. Except for his parents, the reporters found nothing at home.
The international channel also broadcast programs normally these two days, but no one saw Su Yi entering or leaving the building.
It's like disappearing into thin air.
Su Yi's silence does not mean the silence of the topic. ,
It even attracted international attention!
····
Foreign Service.
"We have no disaster-affected areas for the time being. The last natural disaster was the heavy snowfall at the beginning of the year."
The person in charge of Longguo has explained this to foreign media many times.
He was not complaining about Su Yi, but was very shocked.
This movie has not been released abroad, and it has not been released in English.
There are even a lot of dialects in the movie that many people from other places cannot understand.
Why did you get it abroad?
"However, because of this movie, we have attached great importance to the possible disasters caused by earthquakes. The plate has been moving recently and it is also an unstable period. We have carried out comprehensive testing to ensure that people's safety and property will not be damaged!"
Everything below is taken with the camera.
The person in charge smiled bitterly in his heart.
Many influential international friends even came to ask if something happened in their hometown and they wanted to donate money.
After the meeting is over, I still have to report to the leader!
····
China Film Group.
Han Sanping's attitude was respectful, and his hands even trembled slightly.
The caller came to criticize Han Sanping.
He even called directly, bypassing Director Wang.
"How did this movie pass the review? Isn't it enough? We just properly handled the things at the beginning of the year, and yet we came up with something that was fictitious? Although we are not in the same department, does the movie have to be realistic? !”
How can it be called a movie if it is close to reality?
Han Sanping muttered something in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
Because he couldn't afford to offend the person on the other end of the phone.
"That's what the leader said. But this time the three departments jointly invested, I also took a fancy to this before -"
Although Han Sanping was respectful, the meaning of his words was still a bit neither humble nor arrogant.
"Xiao Han, I know it has not been easy for you over the years. You have developed very well with China Film, and we all see it. But this time it is a bit nonsense! Even if you shoot the Tangshan earthquake, you can do it!"
The tone on the other side softened.
"It's because we didn't do enough review. But I don't think there's anything excessive about this movie. It's just that the filming time was a little wrong."
"It's better now. People are panicking. Many people even called the local seismological bureau for verification! How can there be any answer to this kind of thing? There are still times when the weather forecast is inaccurate! How should our staff answer?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little helpless.
The leaders above the General Administration of Culture and Entertainment are in charge of more departments, and they are also units under the direct control of the General Administration.
Han Sanping hesitated for a moment, but still chose to remain silent.
"You can consider taking it off the shelves in advance. It's within control!"
Remove movies early?
Han Sanping smiled bitterly.
"Several departments have invested money! I don't think it's necessary. I'll let Director Su express his position. Then we will put up a program and explain it well!"
Han Sanping said hurriedly.
Regardless of the two episodes, the reputation of this movie is divided. There are all kinds of praises for people who like it, and all kinds of negative opinions for people who don't like it.
But it’s still very profitable, and there aren’t too many principle issues.
It can also be promoted.
"Director Su has this ability, but where is he now? If I explain it, it's okay to say that this is an ordinary educational movie. But I have to respond."
"Don't worry, I will contact Su Yi now."
Han Sanping nodded hurriedly, this was considered the best result.
Otherwise, although the leader cannot intervene directly, he still has great energy.
But fortunately it is not a personal grudge against Su Yi.
Just a reminder or even a warning.
The same goes for Su Yi this time. Did he follow Chen Kaige's path?
But it shouldn't be. In Han Sanping's opinion, as a disaster movie, it is the first one about earthquakes.
The quality of the movie is nothing to say.
It can't be helped that the narrative isn't deep enough, and it's not long enough.
Moreover, the whole article is actually about the process after the arrival of natural disasters.
But the impact is still too great!
In Han Sanping's eyes, several directors have different abilities.
Because Su Yi is too young, in addition to his novel and powerful scripts, he may be slightly inferior to Zhang Yimou and others.
This is already a very high evaluation from Han Sanping.
After all, the characters in his eyes were Zhang Yimou, Li Xian and others.
But as Su Yi shoots more works, he is slowly catching up.
Chen Kaige is one of them. He thinks that being different has become a demon, and he has even lost the 'spiritual energy' he had at the beginning.
But what Su Yi is best at is actually emotional resonance.
Su Yi is invincible in this regard.
Parasite, 12 Years a Slave, Changjin Lake
But this time, the emotions that could be explored deeply were abandoned and only briefly described.
What's more, it's the arrival of natural disasters - many people have already searched online.
Are the visions before the earthquake real?
Will such rescue be carried out after the earthquake?
To be honest, the Tangshan earthquake has been a long time ago.
And the level of technology is definitely not the same as it is now.
So there is no comparison.
At first, Han Sanping thought Su Yi was going to shoot the Tangshan Earthquake!
Now that the movie is on the shelves, Su Yi's final intention is unknown.
Now the leaders above are worried, saying it has caused panic.
In fact, this is true.
If Su Yi were here, he would understand.
When the 2012 apocalyptic movie first appeared.
First, it caused panic in North America, and they asked the authorities why they did not announce these things.
It even sparked protests.
But the so-called Mayan prophecies and the like are all false.
However, despite the refutation of the rumors, many people still believe it.
Especially those who are religious.
This movie also used the topic of world destruction to dominate the box office!
The same is true this time.
There are a lot of people in the Dragon Kingdom, and their resistance to some rumors is very low.
Therefore, this movie quickly caused panic in Shu and surrounding cities.
Many locals even left the place.
This made the superiors quite angry.
They believe that Su Yi's film has created panic and should be taken off the shelves. Even if they think Su Yi is a 'hero' and cannot be forced, they should still make an explanation.
Thinking of this, Han Sanping took out his mobile phone.
Dial Su Yi's phone number.
"The number you dialed is not on the server!"
This brat has been unreachable.
Discharged the battery?
Han Sanping was a little helpless.
But he thought about it and called the producer's cell phone.
This is someone from China Film Academy.
"Let Su Yi answer the phone!"
"Leader! Director Su is not with me! They stayed in Shu, I came back on my own!"
"Then what did they do?"
"I don't know, it seems that the local environmental protection department wants to sue Director Su!"
Environmental protection department?
Still sue?
Han Sanping was stunned.
80,000 extras, a whole city cooperated with your shooting, and now you are being sued by the environmental protection department!
How is this exactly the same as Spielberg's experience back then!
····
Shu region, Wenzhou.
Su Yi looked at the scenery in front of him and sighed after a long time.
He was originally the director of the propaganda department.
This time we are going to create rumors!
Thank you everyone for your monthly votes!
