This is undoubtedly the best case of a small-cost movie with great success: the director incorporated a realistic theme into the suspense factor, and interspersed a period of heavy-tasting chase shots in between, although it seems a bit inexplicable, as if suddenly when eating sushi I chewed a few slices of kimchi, but a collection of explosions, gun battles, speeding, art theft, and a few dew-point shots. If such films are not popular, there is only one reason: the director is a mainland Chinese.
Roger, who is only 1.68 in height, is Norway’s most successful headhunter. His beautiful and tall wife Diana runs a luxury gallery. Under Diana’s recommendation, Roger meets Karlas from the Netherlands; the latter worked in an electronics store. The company is in charge, the military origin is sexy and funny. Roger, who is in financial crisis, learns through his wife that there is a famous painting worth tens of millions of euros in the house of Karas. Roger, who is also a professional thief, easily sneaked into Karas. He stole the painting from his home, but when he was about to leave, he found his wife’s phone number beside Karas’s bed. He mistakenly thought that he was betrayed by his wife. He swore in anger that he would not let Karas find any job there, Karas. Because he couldn’t get the position of the "Pathfinder" company, he started to report his loss in a frantic manner, and he wanted to kill Roger...
According to the popular interpretation, this is a bloody case caused by inferiority: because I was only 1.68 tall, I was afraid of being beautiful. His wife left herself and constantly used various means to win his wife’s favor. She retaliated because she suspected that his wife was cheating, but fell into the trap of Callas. Finally, when facing his wife who truly loves him, she confided the secret of her heart like a child. : You are tall and beautiful, I am short and frustrated. In order to let you stay by my side forever, I took the risk to make myself rich. Although the methods are a bit extreme, it is out of love after all, just like the previous day because Isn’t there a beautiful woman behind the headshot of the robbed buddy? A woman should be content with such a lover in her life.
For fans who are tired of watching Hollywood suspense films, "Headhunting Game" is definitely a rare choice. It does not have the bluff of common suspense films, nor does it deliberately create suspicions of panic, but it brings a sense of tension that always exists to the audience, thanks to the director's precise grasp of realistic themes, sophisticated production and unique Nordic films Not only did it become the most popular movie in Norway in 2011, but also easily broke the box office record in Norway for many years, and finally obtained sales rights from more than 50 countries and regions. At the same time, the copyright of the remake was bought by the famous American Peak Entertainment Company, and the English version will enter the production stage within the year.
The reason why the film resonated with many fans and industry insiders is that the director's tribute to the predecessor Stig-Rachson’s "Millennium Trilogy" in the film is indispensable: one of the scenes is Roger returning At home, his wife Diana is watching a movie. She also invited Roger to sit down and watch. The TV shows "Girl Playing with Fire", and some shots in "Girl with Dragon Tattoo" were processed by CG. Used in this movie; there are twin fat policemen in the movie. In a country like Norway, which is not as big as a province in China, there are not many twins. It is a miracle to find twins weighing more than 220 pounds. Director Shan was lucky to find a suitable pair of twins.
In the film, Roger asked a Lander who came to test the company’s managers in person: “Do you know how to appreciate the value of art? It’s just a few simple colored, monotonous circles and lines. The reason why it’s worth 250,000 is Because of the author's name."
"The same principle applies to leaders?"
"That's the case, that's why you can't get the job."
"What?" Rand was surprised.
"You shouldn't come here alone."
"Then what
should I do?" "You should be introduced by someone else to make it a show. Tomorrow Pathfinder CEO will come to have a meeting with you. You have to be polite Participate sexually and show that you don’t care about this position..."
This conversation simply brought out the fame and reputation of the executives of world-renowned companies. Thinking carefully about the hiring and dismissal of top 500 CEOs and executives over the years, it is a standard Hollywood script story, and we can also be around us. I have found many examples of this, especially in the advertising industry. This type of executives who "create personal brand names" account for a large proportion. However, brand names are not brands after all.
A few years ago, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" surpassed Europe with a box office record of nearly 100 million U.S. dollars, and let the world know the strength and charm of Nordic movies. Now, "Headhunting Game" has a great momentum of surpassing its predecessors. Nordic movies have been in recent years. It develops at a speed that amazes the world. There are no big-name stars, no big budgets, and the intervention of big studios. It only relies on solid scripts and realistic and cold style to capture the hearts of movie fans all over the world.
In the eyes of discerning film critics, this purely European-made suspense film is completely different from Hollywood's stylized routines. This is an important reason for attracting Hollywood studios to buy the copyright of the remake. When many of our film practitioners worked hard to go. When studying the Hollywood model and trying to "learn from the barbarians to control barbarians", the small area of northern Europe turned Hollywood into a bewilderment with authentic national characteristics. This alone is worth chewing for, well. Digestion.
