If you only look at the theme and lineup, " You Are My Spring " has enough reasons to win the support of the market. After all, there is a realistic theme that is closely related to everyone and empathize with it. There are also Zhou Dongyu , Song Xiaobao , A large number of popular actors with excellent acting skills, such as Zhao Jinmai , Huang Xiaoming , etc., form the cast. Zhou Nan, Zhang Chi, Tian Yusheng, Dong Yue, Rao Xiaozhi, a group of outstanding directors, as well as Chen Daoming and Huang Bo serve as As for the producers, I have to say that the two movie stars did not come to act but stood behind the scenes and shouted, which was a bit of a bid for success.
However, the movie did not achieve corresponding box office results. It was not released until the afternoon of the next day, to be precise, it only exceeded 10 million after 21 hours. It would be difficult to exceed 100 million by visual inspection.
It is said that the audience’s eyes are sharp. This is true. If you watch "You Are My Spring", you will find that it is really difficult to be moved, let alone resonate. So, what is the reason for this movie? Does the movie play a good hand of cards into an unreliable effect?
is actually very simple. "You Are My Spring" failed for two reasons, both of which are self-destructive. The first is that the movie itself does not have a good enough story. There are five stories and five emotions. Unfortunately, they are all based on industrial machine tools. The touching story squeezed out of someone's body, the story of a hairy son-in-law impressing his future mother-in-law, confuses love and touching, and the concept is old-fashioned and the narrative is blunt.
The grassroots migrant workers kept helping others on their way to ask for their wages. In the end, they tore up the withdrawal slips with a clear understanding of justice. This is not beautification but moral kidnapping .
The heart-warming story of a party secretary building a soundproof piano house for a little girl is too warm and idealistic about community relations. The feelings are warm, but the plot is untenable.
In contrast, some shadows of reality can be seen in the frontline medical staff who use their cars as their homes, and the "left-behind husbands" who educate their children, but they are just shadows.
Among the several movies with the same theme that I have seen so far, "You Are My Spring" is the strongest in terms of the luxury of production and lineup, but it is also the weakest in terms of the credibility of the story. , is far inferior to the authentic " Wuhan Day and Night ", is not as good as "Chinese Doctor" with a rigorous structure and clear intentions, and is not even as unified as the overall style and theme of "Embracing You Through the Cold Winter".
The biggest problem with "You Are My Spring" is that it uses too much force to create emotion. Compared with the real people we are already familiar with, this kind of emotion seems so thin and deliberate, full of thick eyes. Potion smell.
This is the second flaw of this movie. Going too far is not enough. From a mathematical point of view, one plus one equals two. Five stories are definitely richer than one story. But in terms of movie experience, for the same more than 100 minutes, five stories A story is just tone-deaf, so it is better to tell a story well and thoroughly. Therefore, most movies would rather have one story, rather than buy one, get two free, and combine three or five short films.
Of course, there are also good movies of all kinds. The biggest problem with "You Are My Spring" is that it is just a piece of short composition without any background support. There is no possibility of turning any chapter into a feature film. Looking back at the previous "Me and Me" "My Motherland" and " Me and My Hometown ", each chapter is thick enough.
Therefore, no matter how good the subject matter or the actors are, they cannot withstand such fooling. "You Are My Spring" did not lose to others, but to itself. Now the film market is severely weakened, and the summer season is recovering. The audience will Give more understanding and support, but what everyone needs is really not a movie like this, but a movie with real conscience and sincerity. A sincere movie can still achieve good results even if the lineup is not as good and the production is not so gorgeous, such as " "Life Events" is the best example.
