is scheduled and withdrawn, and " Life Events " has finally arrived.
"The Great Events in Life" tells a realistic story in a classical way.
Narrative structure is a standard five-act drama, following the pattern of beginning, development, climax, ending and ending. The plot always revolves around a line, using comedy techniques to frame a realistic story.
In text design, "The Big Events in Life" is not that outstanding.
uses a large number of visual symbols, and expresses the way to express one's will, using these externalized things to express emotions and tell stories.
Smoke and stars are the theme of the movie. Smoke represents relief, and stars represent rebirth.
means farewell is not forever farewell, but for a better encounter in another world, because every star in the sky is the person we have loved.
This is the philosophical idea that the film runs through the entire film. Love sometimes is temporarily absent, and people will spend their lives to make up for their childhood, but no matter how bad the situation is, they must believe that love will come back.
In terms of character shaping, the semiotics in the film is more obvious.
Zhu Yilong plays Mo Sanmei is Sun Wukong. He loves to eat peaches and says bluntly: "I belong to Sun Wukong. I can't stand these demons and ghosts bullying."
The little girl Wu Xiaowen is Nezha, has two horns, holding red tassel gun , legs are chasing the wind horse , carefree personality, and work in a prosperous manner, with an image and style of conduct that are no different from Nezha.
The two of them are rebels and rebels who "My life is not by heaven".
One is in troubled by the sea and the other is in trouble with the heavenly palace. He is not willing to give in to the rules and does not admit defeat to reality. However, after being tempered by being suppressed by Wuzhishan and flooded by Chentangguan , Sun Wukong became Sun Xingzhe and Nezha became the third prince.
As for how Mo Sanmei and Wu Xiaowen grew up when things happen?
Director borrows four symbols: watch, wine, little tiger and fireworks to show the transformation.
Xiaowen's watch was broken, and the third sister drew a watch on her wrist. The relationship between the two changed from incompatibility to warming each other.
The broken watch is the past, with good memories, but also sad sadness. The newly bought watch is a new life, forgetting bad things or welcoming the life that is about to begin.
The disease of sending wine and father is that the third sister is no longer stubborn and begins to understand her father and accept herself.
The little tiger who can speak grandma is a witness to the third sister knowing how to express love to her relatives, and it is also the strength of Xiaowen to no longer worry about looking for grandma and live a new life after crying.
The ashes fireworks in heaven are the most complete release of the third sister. She no longer resents her father's beating and scolding and indifference, no longer treats the world and family coldly, and becomes a truly humane Mo Sanmei. Most of these visual symbols are concentrated on Mo Sanmei, and the film also deconstructs the theme of the movie through him.
The third sister and Xiaowen, from rebellion to maturity, is the process of Xiaowen and the third sister dislike each other, and empathize with each other.
Xiaowen was drawing on the urn, and the third sister took the initiative to adopt Xiaowen. A big fuss at a living funeral made the five fingers on the third sister's body turn into invisible. He let go of the grudge in his heart and truly accepted Xiaowen.
Why can Mo Sanmei accept Wu Xiaowen? Because of the word "reconciliation". How do
movies deconstruct these two words? Using Xiaowen as a lubricant, resolve conflicts between others and allow Mo Sanmei to reconcile with her father, herself, and life.
In photography, there are three stages and three levels of emotions, and use image language to explain reconciliation.
The first half of the video, the shaking feeling of handheld photography shows the character's restlessness and confusion in his heart.
The middle part is the close-up and close-up of the fixed camera position, as well as the moving lens. There is no shaking lens again, and they are all stable lenses, because the character at this time has a goal for life and no longer lives a casual life.
The second half of the lenses have almost no handheld photography.
Even if the third sister has experienced the most sad things in her life, she is not going to lose her temper or get upset.
Instead, he found a way to solve the problem. At this moment, he was no longer panicked because he knew the rhythm of life.
This is the text design of "The Great Events in Life". The philosophy concept, semiotics and deconstruction methods are all near the passing line. They are not outstanding but not perfunctory.
Similarly, the shortcomings of "The Great Events in Life" are also obvious. dramatic conflicts are too deliberate, and it is difficult to justify all kinds of coincidences.
is not as plain as Japanese family films and dots. They do not specifically guide them and let the audience experience it themselves. This feeling is all their own.
The intentional sensationalism of "The Great Events of Life" is difficult to make the audience think about it. They are passively used, not actively drinking water.
especially in terms of tone, photography, composition, lines, etc., "The Big Events of Life" cannot be compared with movies of the same type as " Devourer " and " White Rabbit Candy ".
This is also one of the main reasons why the final score of "The Great Events in Life" will not be too high. It only cares about telling stories and ignores that the movie not only has content, but also has external means such as skills.
In terms of character relationships, "The Big Events in Life" is also quite twisted.
Each character comes with a task. First, it is out of place with the surrounding environment, then encounter some things, and finally achieve a reversal and reconcile as before. The traditional character structure of
is framed by a framework of realism and documentary, and intends to make the text structure of the movie tense, thereby creating and resolving contradictions.
From this we can see that the director's foundation is indeed almost interesting. It will not slow down the movie, and make people's relationships with others become gentle and friendly. Using the scenery to express their emotions and tell stories, they can only rely on old-school narrative methods to retain the audience.
These shortcomings will ultimately make it difficult for "Life Events" to play the role of to save the market .
The current movie box office, if you want to achieve blowout growth and counter-decline, the quality must be acceptable. The box office alone cannot be maintained for a few days.
However, "The Big Events of Life" is exactly as quality as expected, and subsequent box office growth will inevitably be weak, because passers-by focus on word of mouth, empathy for and social attributes when watching movies. "The Big Events in Life" are relatively weak, which is directly reflected in the box office. On the first day of the release of
, the box office was 40.74 million. With the previous pre-show and pre-sale box office, the cumulative box office on the first day was 86.89 million, not even a billion yuan, which is incomparable to the fierce coming of " Jurassic World 3".
As the summer season deepens, "The Events of Life" will no longer be the first choice. " Detective's Battle with ", " Mozart in Outer Space " and "Jurassic World 3" will all share some of the box office.
"The Big Events in Life" focuses on family affection, which is in line with "Mozart in Outer Space".
But the summer season is obviously more suitable for hedonistic movies. "Jurassic World 3" and "Detective War" both belong to this category, so the final box office of "The Great Events in Life" is not optimistic.
If you have to say a number, it should be around 500 million to 600 million, becoming the highest-gross-monoprotection movie with Zhu Yilong's monoclonal antibody.
This box office figure cannot even enter the top 30 in the summer box office list, so how can we talk about saving the market?
However, in other domestic movies, "The Great Events of Life" faced difficulties, we should be more tolerant of "The Great Events of Life".
Nowadays, as long as there is a movie released, it will be a victory. As for the quality and box office level, it is a matter of survival first and then paying attention to it.
