is back.
" Cloud made of rain in the wind" was released, which was a small step for Lou Ye to step into the theater.
Now this movie was scheduled for release three years ago, withdrew and then released, and is also known as Lou Ye's transformation from an art film to a commercial film. Will
be a big step for him to take to the public?

Said this new film is a commercial spy war and is not accurate enough.
It has a complex type and is difficult to classify.
. Combined commercial films, art films, and strange films that collect spies assassination, entertainment, national hatred and family hatred, personal desires, everything takes up a part.
But one thing is certain -
This is a big heroine drama.
script is adapted from Hongying's novel "Death in Shanghai", which tells the story of star actor Yu Jin suddenly returned to Shanghai where various forces are divided. On the 1st side, it is looking for an old lover and director Tan Na (played by Zhao Youting) to collaborate on a new drama.
Rumor was that she was actually trying to save her arrested ex-husband.
heroine Yu Jin has a very complex life.
has been an orphan since childhood and was rescued and trained to become a talented person by his adoptive father.
is a popular star, but in private he is a spy who affects the entire international battlefield situation.
Such a strong aura and delicate character can only hold on to Gonghuang .
The movie silently laid the foundation for Yu Jin's status and personality:
As soon as she arrived in Shanghai, she was surrounded by reporters and fans. She always had a cold face and quickly got into the car. At the same time, she took the newspaper sold by newspaper boys outside the window -
The headline in the newspaper was herself.
But in fact, it is not only the movie fans who care about her.
entrenched in Shanghai Concession forces are staring at her every move, and even the phone number in her hotel room is monitored in real time.
Fortunately, she only made one call, and it was indeed for director Tan Na.
Tan Na was very surprised by her return.
The two got along well back then, but she left without saying goodbye. He and him were waiting for her to come back.
reunion, and he didn't settle the score after autumn. Yu Jin chose to forgive him with a sentence "You won't blame me, right?"
The affectionate eyes never left her.
Late at night, a gray-haired foreign man sneaked into Yu Jin's hotel room:
adoptive father.
Not seen each other for three years, the father and daughter held hands warmly, but talked about cold topics.
He brought her a new task.
The goal this time is Japanese spy Saburo Fukutani ( Odagiri ). He came to Shanghai and submitted a new set of cryptobooks to the Japanese military.
At the same time, looking for his missing wife.
Yu Jin just looked like his wife, and her adoptive father asked her to get the latest password to interpret the Japanese combat plan.
In addition, there are some unidentified eyeliners approaching her:
A girl who claims to be a movie fan Bai Yunshang (played by Huang Xiangli), always pestering Yu Jin, begging her to take her to see rehearsals and learn acting.
and Tan Na’s friend, Mo Zhiyin ( Wang Chuanjun ). A traitor who secretly serves the Japanese, and he also closely monitors Yu Jin by taking advantage of the name of investing in dramas.
At this point, with Yu Jin as the center, a large network of interlaced situations is slowly spread out. How about
? There are enough forces and characters to appear.
The audience has not figured out who is who and which country it represents. When they are confused...
Lou Ye's iconic handheld lens shook again.
Before the bed scene was reached, the "ship scene" came first, like the stormy waves.
Uncle Meat only bought the front seasick seat last night. Lou Ye almost sent me away with the camera.
or high-blurred giant shaking image quality
to add insult to injury.
The cafe setting on the stage always seamlessly switches with the cafe scene where the two people are in love in reality. The nesting dolls in the play are mixed, which makes the narrative mess again.
It can be said that the rhythm of the previous hour was slow and the plot was scattered, which was very unfriendly to the audience.
The elements of commercial spy movies are a little weaker, and some netizens even think that "like a bloody national script killer".
Then this movie is just not good-looking?
emmm... not either.
Perhaps it is because Uncle Meat has a little more preference for Lou Ye.
Even if most people don’t accept this film, I still think it has its own exquisite design, and it hides a lot of director’s skills and emotions.
Commercial spy war is obviously not what Lou Ye is good at.
He is good at exploring personal emotions under a certain era background.
seems very big and fake.
is followed, but it is very small and very real.
erases the strange story. The spies with ulterior mottos under special historical events are no different from Lou Ye’s previous creative themes.
are all pulling desire back and forth. In the movie
, Yu Jin and different men and women had intimate "lust" scenes.
hand-held lens, with a secret personalization.
No one is as obsessed with holding the camera as he is. Last time, "Storm and Clouds" was so shaky.
The bumpy shot shows the pathological and madness of the characters under the strange situation.
At the same time, in our audience, it has a sense of secretiveness with a voyeurism.
Many people say that Gong Li and Zhao Youting have no chemical reaction to CP, like a mother-son love.
In a sense, this handheld lens fills the emotional tension between them with a sense of secret.
They are not good enough, not because of the actual age difference.
Gong Li, who is just wrapped with bangs, scarf, and coat, can still see the traces of time, but the afterglow is still there.
and what about Zhao Youting? It was amazing. Under the camera, he actually showed his eye sockets, which made the handsome guy look tired.
To put it bluntly, the old and young in appearance are complemented by makeup and light and shadow.
However, the aura is so empty, it cannot be changed for the moment.
Gong Huang's aura is 2.8 meters tall, and Yu Jin is also a cruel horn that is licking blood on all sides and licking blood at the tip of the knife. The blood groove is full.
is the same as the vain Phoenix man in "To Youth", Zhao Youting plays another weak man this time.
Tan Na is affectionate and gentle.
But you can't carry your shoulders and your hands cannot hold them, and in turn you need to be protected.
And this weakness is not only a low combat effectiveness, but also an emotional fragility.
Tan Na's setting is a lovely man who loves Yu Jin. But Zhao Youting mostly only performs the "sweetness" of an idol drama, but he cannot feel the "infatuation" of a unique love.
The first time he met again, he couldn't help but want to hug and kiss Yu Jin, but Yu Jin turned a blind eye and passed by.
He stayed in place, like a young wife who was wronged.
The only time Yu Sumiku is protected, and he is just blocking himself as a human shield to take a photo. He doesn't look like her man, but more like her assistant or bodyguard.
only has routine actions and no "fire" to protect your lover in your eyes.
After the Japanese left, he cried, not like a heartache Yu Jin, but more like a little boy who was afraid of him.
Yu Jin comforted him with a kiss, hugged him into his arms, and a tear that fell at the right time ignited the image of the miserable mandarin duck in troubled times.
The aura of the actor himself and the energy given by the character have widened the distance between Gong Li and Zhao Youting.
Fortunately, there was a hand-held camera that was amazing and pulled them back a little. The play in the play rehearsed by
.
When Yu Jin played the heroine, she happened to be seen by the hero played by Tan Na. He helped to insert the knife into the enemy's body and pulled the heroine to run wildly.
shots followed their backs shaking in chaos.
Sweeping over the hand he held, the male protagonist leading the heroine to escape from the dead.
The frequency of the handheld lens shaking, just like you and I are right behind the scene, and the chaotic breathing of lovers in troubled times seems to be "seen" with the camera.
You can sense it in a moment that their destiny was bound together at that moment.
But on the day of the actual performance, Yu Jin temporarily released the plane.
Tan Na collapsed: She was not coming back for me at all.
Is Yu Jin sincere to Tan Na or a show-off?
Uncle Meat will not spoil it, you can go to the cinema to watch it yourself.
Come again, the video has another point worth savoring, black and white images + low lighting.
Lou Ye said that when looking for information from that year, most of them were black and white photos, so using black and white images -
is not a few minutes, it is the whole film.
It's just him.
Of course, without the distraction of color, black and white are more refined, and more test the level of controlling light and shadow.
When Saburo Kokuya passed the latest intelligence password to the Japanese military, the densely packed password projections on his face were more conspicuous, splitting his originally beautiful face. It is also as hideous as scars, implying the poison of war on people's hearts.
and Yu Jin's other emotional line, which also makes it more textured in black and white light and shadow + low lighting.
The character that surprised me the most was the young girl who was close to Jin, Bai Yunshang.
Compared to Zhao Youting, the second female lead and Yu Jin should not be too nervous.
For the first time we met, she lit a cigarette for Yu Jin attentively and said:
I know someone and can help you rescue your ex-husband.
These words are extremely greasy, but they are not greasy at all.
She is young and holds bob .
and that seriousness eliminated Yu Jin's defenses.
Yu Jin took her back to the hotel to drink and found that her comb was a knife -
Sure enough, she was also a female spy.
After being drugged, she talked about childhood, loneliness, and her love for Jin in dizziness.
Yu Jin left her overnight. In the black and white, Bai Yunchang's skin exposed after she took off the cheongsam was whiter.
Lou Ye likes low lighting and even deliberately leaves a total darkness for a few seconds.
We are impatient and guessing in the temporary "blindness", and participate in their dark emotional and desire game.
on the bed, there is a gentle touch and whisper.
The next day, she woke up, and walked to the window and snuggled her head in Jin Jin's arms, and the two of them were speechless.
At first glance, I thought it was a bed scene.
is actually testing the sincerity with highly emotional feminine traits, and it is rare to establish trust in the chaos.
also mentions Lou Ye’s discussion on the theme of “lust”.
Yu Jing’s mission is to use Saburo Fukuya’s affection for his wife to obtain his intelligence.
To put it bluntly, it is a setting up a situation and cheating trust.
It seems that Yu Jin is already a mature cold agent.
But unlike other spy war scenes, the characters always hide their children's love for the sake of justice.
This is Lou Ye.
His movies are always sensual, and this is exactly his sexyness.
In fact, Yu Jin and several characters in the film are all pulled by lust and conscience.
In the spy war that is most afraid of trust, among so many unknown characters.
Lou Ye makes spy war not only cheat, but also trust.
Why didn’t Tan Na delve into Yu Jin’s identity?
Because Yu Jin repeatedly emphasized to him: Believe me.
If I disappear again, you go to our old place to find me.
and Tan Na also responded to the oath:
No matter what happens, no matter what changes, no matter what you see and hear, I will wait for you here.
How rare is it to never change in troubled times?
Lou Ye, it's still the same Lou Ye.
And Bai Yunshang is not a woman who uses any means to complete the task.
Whether she was coaxed by Mo Zhiyin to "exchange intelligence" with benefits, or was forced to the bell, she resisted fiercely.
and Yu Jin sleep intimately, and she is not doing it for the task.
is because of true love.
, and Yu Jin also responded with trust. In a critical moment, he chose to let her deliver the message for herself. Once exposed, it will put itself in a high degree of confidentiality.
instead.
is the most trustworthy adoptive father.
urgently cares about her safety and visits the adoptive father who talks with her late at night.
Do you still remember that Yu Jin was monitored when he checked into the hotel? Do you remember when my adoptive father entered the door of Jinyi's room, he was afraid of being seen?
In fact, the adoptive father is a member of the hotel intelligence agency, and the person who monitors it is him.
He also has no need to sneak in - acting.
He does not fully trust Yu Jin.
Who is the actor? On the
side, Yu Jin is a famous drama star; secretly, she wants to play the late wife of Saburo Kotani again.
She is a dual actor.
When they rehearsed new dramas, the scenes in the drama and the scenes in the film were intertextually and even common.
is the drama in the play.
The "little tricks" on these scripts are very novel, and they are superimposed on the complexity of the scene.
Through these complexities, it contrasts the value of trust.
What exactly do you want to say about this movie?
Let’s take a look, there will never be any rain in Lou Ye’s works.
sticky, misty, and ambiguous.
This film also has the enthusiastic fire on the street, which reminds people of the twists and cruelties of human nature in "Storm and Clouds".
The difference is.
Here, it emphasizes the tear-up of war on human nature.
The shaking shot is like the turbulent situation at that time.
This head, the snow-white legs of the Shanghai girl in the cold are feeling the warmth. On the other end of
, the big star Yu Jin was in the rain of bullets.
Life is hanging, not to mention the trust between people.
"Believe" this thing is like experiencing a bet like a game and a dream.
This film began in the isolated island period in Shanghai.
At the end of the end, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and Hiroshima was blown into ruins by atomic bomb .
Changes in the overall environment.
Perhaps, it was just a game of trust, a butterfly flapped its wings.
and in this story.
This butterfly is named Yu Jin.
