There are two ways to be a person: a smooth road is equal to a landslide, and the road is cloudy and foggy; a bad road is equal to the end of the world, and the cloudy and foggy-obviously, Han Han belongs to the former, but his new film “The Four Seas” is not the same. It was foggy and foggy, but shot directly into the sea.
Very simple, Douban 5.6, it is estimated that it will be lower, and the story is very simple: a young man and woman who were forced to live on the island, following arriving in Guangzhou, sacrificed themselves for each other and separated forever – of course, this way The summary is following I deleted a lot of rambling regarding the boy and his father, his island brothers, and his motorcycle rides. The reason why it can be deleted is because there is no reason to explain it. It is even more regrettable that if the generalization of the story in the above sentence is deleted, the film will last for more than an hour. It is even more regrettable that , without prejudice to being seen as another film.
As for the double loss of word of mouth at the box office – people who celebrate the New Year can’t accept “tragedy” as the first excuse to be decent, of course, they can also play the helpless card of “can’t compete with vulgar comedies for audiences”, but the reason is always cheap Yes, since it was filmed like this, let’s be realistic, let’s first take a look at where “it’s not allowed” to put it on “The Four Seas”?
One: Out of focus island.
The fourth part of the four-part series is still an island, and the scene selection team should be familiar with the road, but this time the traffic on the island is mysterious and unpredictable – the ferry that the male protagonist’s father took to the island appears to be an obscure road and a troubled city. Therefore, he has not been seen on the island once in a few years; as the male protagonist and the girl left the island on a raft and carried a motorcycle, it was once once more certified that only waterways can be used; however, the police and debt collectors had to go to Guangzhou to find the male protagonist. , but it was easy to get a ride, and “talked all the way, and we had a good time” – since the road traffic is so smooth, why didn’t the male lead take the female lead away on a bicycle? Oh, when you master the basic logic of the whole film, you will understand: the traffic strategy doesn’t matter, the important thing is to appease the scene of the lonely boat drifting to the vast city, and also, it must be able to plug in the bar and ride the wind. stalk.
Yes, it’s just so casual, of course, is this a kind of unrestricted, necessary “abstract” of life on the island?
Then you might as well read the island in Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” as far as possible, and look closer to Yukio Mishima’s “Tide Show” – the former uses abstract stories to write down the verisimilitude of human nature. In the latter, the writer suppressed the usual twists and turns of the writer, and wrote the island and the youthful love of the island with the foam-like gray and tidal brushstrokes on the edge of the spray.
As for the “island” in “The Four Seas” – I really painted a ghost with the brushwork of a ghost, then I really painted it for the ghost.
The second possibility is that it must be a character, and the best distinguishing sign is that a minimalist scheme should be used for the original family of the characters: the male protagonist’s father remarries on the island, the male protagonist is a rootless son, and the female protagonist and brother depend on each other and are also parents. Double death (leaving a maritime business license), as for the male protagonist’s team friend, of course, he has no contact with the hero. Of course, regarding the characters, it is worth looking at Han Han’s consistent aesthetic keywords for female characters— —
Pale (beautiful): No matter what the audience is, Liu Haocun personally thinks it is Han Han’s choice. In addition to the fact that she grew up by the sea and was able to stubbornly maintain the whiteness under the director’s obsession, the UV rays of the sun must never reveal her sense of purity. From the perspective of appearance, such a clear and innocent girl is worthy of a male protagonist. Bravely repay his debts.
Vulnerable (stupid): Such a girl with a clean appearance must also match the whiteness of her talents, such as matching the identity of a “waiter”, the trait of “no one’s skill”, and at the moment when only saints can stay without looking at their mobile phones for two hours, I just don’t know that the hotel’s “breakfast” means “breakfast”, and because I don’t know how to swipe the room card, I can sit at the door of the hotel all night. Yes, from the inside, this is also a persona who wears sunscreen and keeps his brain cells pale without falling.
Literature (nonsense): The beautiful girl told the male protagonist on her back at the beach, “Will you ask questions to the starry sky?” The question of value is not recommended for her to talk regarding Starry Sky as a Taobao customer service.
Yes, in the whole film, all living beings are equal: they are all symbols of Han Han, but it is only the heroine. And at the moment when the domestic film “Love Myth” can be made with women who have already taken care of themselves, the attitude of “The Four Seas” towards female characters is not so much unfriendly as it is indifferent and outdated.
If Han Han at least put his favorite car racing island plot, brotherhood, heroism, and even the huge cover of “The Gift of Maggie” to the male protagonist, then he almost limits his imagination to junior high school. The girl character from the boy’s perspective was given to Liu Haocun, but this time, because he didn’t care, he also gave a middle-aged uncle’s heterosexual aesthetic kitsch-the heroine in “The Four Seas” is essentially the same as (middle-aged) ) There is no difference between “white, thin and young” under the typical aesthetics of greasy men, but with a literary filter. However, it is precisely because of a thin layer of oily flowers floating on the bitterly dented youth tea soup that makes the whole film’s characters fall into an embarrassing scene that is neither pure nor village enough.
It’s hard to imagine how a creator who has lost his imagination of characters except symbols and memes, how to start his creation? A director who only has a simple understanding of female characters, more like a figure who bought a figure online, should he really get involved in a story related to “love”?
The third possibility is that the knowledge and understanding of daily life are completely out of control. Take the male and female protagonists arriving in Guangzhou as an example: What does Guangzhou mean in Han Han’s eyes? It means that the interviewer must discriminate once morest women invisibly, that the boss must ask the female host to accompany the male customer to drink, and that the hostess can only find the job of a waiter when she looks for it. It can be suggested that he pay attention to the bottom flow trajectory of the new crown patients – who would not choose to stay warm to solve the basic survival problems when living in a foreign land like this, but to look down at the neon lights and sigh with emotion for a few high-rise buildings The wind between the buildings, and then waved and said, “When I find a job, let’s meet at the flyover”? Who will get a job by an incredible coincidence, and following receiving an advance salary, facing huge debts and basic food, clothing, housing and transportation problems, first buy a necklace for the other party and stuff it into a hamburger?
Going to the realist mountain temple, but in the end, it can only fall into the grass in the literature of youth and pain. What can be seen is only Han Han’s overall loss of focus but still struggling.
However, it is not surprising to shoot like this, because this is an inevitable crisis belonging to the darling of fate, which has already arrived and will come: do not care regarding small people but shoot small people, do not understand the real world but pass on the world view, know that there are tigers in the mountains, or just You really shouldn’t go to Mingzhi Mountain – although following capital, you are willing to gamble and admit defeat, but the old way of most people with a good life is to deceive themselves while recruiting themselves: talk regarding feelings when talking regarding business, and talk regarding business when it is sincere.
Therefore, what is even more disturbing is that there is a kind of half-push at the box office in the film, but as it pulls in a lot of comedy stars and sprinkles stalks like salt, it piles up comedy elements and cuts Shen Teng into the trailer. If it is obvious, it shows the temperament of the world.
The word “sophisticated” is mentioned because Han Han is already at an age when he is conscious of being “reasonable”. It’s just a thin line between reason and sophistication, and it’s just that most adults often confuse the latter with the former and take pride in it—if the former points to higher thinking and deeper meaning, then the latter is the only one. Taking advantage of the objective environment and avoiding disadvantages, it is a pity that it was enlarged in “The Four Seas”, which further accentuated the sincere and comprehensive ebb and the imaginative sailing once morest the current, and as a result, the business also collapsed in an all-round way.
At this point, Han Han regards the sophistication as reason and the wise sunset as the light of enlightenment. In fact, it is a situation that any lucky person in life can easily step into when they are mature. Waist size rather than muscle, it doesn’t matter whether he is a creator or not.
But in other words, he is a creator following all, but obviously stuck between a contented personal life and a rough real life, and a camel doesn’t necessarily want to go through the eye of a needle.
As for the question of how creators can break through their intellectual superiority, in my opinion, even if one’s life is exhausted, the bandwidth is extremely narrow, so reading a lot and keeping reading is extremely important for one’s own depth and breadth, as is the vision of traveling around the world. However, it is also very close to go into battle and live in close combat – but it is often two groups of people who make these two actions.
And these two groups of people, following the time has passed, they have drawn their own prisons, and they will think that they have taken control of the whole world and mastered the true truth of life, but they are essentially the same thing. They are all solidified.
Solidified, whether it is because of the wear and tear of worry or the leisurely indulgence, in short, it is a habit, it is an experience, and to put it bluntly, it is a variant of the “comfort zone”: there is no longer a heartfelt interest in life, The same goes for others. It’s just that Han Han misjudged the time difference between talent and the level of the film in 2022, and there is also the misfit and total derailment of “The Four Seas”——
For creation, either talk regarding change or talk regarding eternity, and it is better to talk regarding eternity in the midst of change, but don’t talk regarding literature and art, because without the above two points, literature and art have nothing but hypocrisy.
However, to be the darling of creation, it is inevitable to pay a little price, but compared with the real world situation that Han Han tried to create, this is really an extravagant trouble. What’s more, how many ceilings in the world are not loft heights, but masters of the sky and the earth?
Thinking regarding it this way, he went the old way and paid homage to himself, but forget it, it’s only 83, this year’s Spring Festival high-ticket pricing strategy, if it is put on “The Four Seas”, it seems even more inaccurate. ◎Great cold
