Basically, I didn't pay much attention to the filming process of "Famous Name" or even the release of the trailer. Overall, I feel that there is not much hype, unlike some people who are very happy. But this does not mean that I like Chen Kexin more and look forward to the advent of "The Name of the Name". From the moment I saw the poster of the Jincheng martial arts army grabbing people's heads, I couldn't say I liked it. At least this first impression was really as solemn and gloomy as the smoke in the trailer. I can't see it and like it. The cover with tears in the eyes of the three male protagonists is even more unbearable. In short, I didn't have a particularly clear understanding of the film until the day it was released in advance. That is to say, the matter (Chinese blockbuster) has come to this point, and I don't have much expectation. There are also a lot of posts on major forums waiting for the publication of "Vote for Name", but there is no disgusting Towen. Once upon a time, the fascist-like propaganda machine frantically produced propaganda with a uniform caliber. It is a pity that after the inspection of ordinary audiences, they also revealed the real face.

Immediately after the 13th, the fans and friends around me immediately reported two completely different opinions. One was that there was no breakthrough, but I even needed to habitually scolded a few words. How can Jet Li cut a dozen people's legs with one knife, how irresponsible the extras and how ridiculous details can't hide from their cold eagle eyes. But another delightful voice is that "The Name" has finally achieved the "best" Chinese-style (Chinese) blockbuster so far. But it's hard to get the truth of the film out of their cautious, suggestive and appropriately reserved tone. After all, this is what has been said before, it is definitely a question of whether it is a small step of pleasure to die (from "On the Taihang Mountains" to "Clouds and Water Ballads"), or a giant leap of joy to satisfy the audience. Needless to say, the result is that after the "Iron Triangle", I went to the cinema once by myself.

some necessary homework, three different versions of the trailers, the historical background of the "Thorn Horse Case", thinking of Xiaoban's evaluation of "Thorn Horse" in Jiang David's Bean Column, he said: In the film, brothers turn against each other, Sheng Hui printing. Different interpretations of the stabbing horse case are inherently reasonable. Rather than remaking "Thorn Horse", it is better to adapt the stabbing horse case. Since Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai can be adapted into a TV series or a standard Hong Kong-made third-level film, they are two completely different directions, but they still have a large audience. The attempt of "Putting the Name" is a complete subversion of the brotherhood, even if it is only the brotherhood that has been on the screen for a long time.

Yesterday, I was squatting on the TV, and I was bored and repeatedly changing channels. I actually saw "Water Margin" on the education channel. Lin Chong ran up to Liangshan on the recommendation of Chai Jin, and Wang Lun, a shrewd man in white, pretended to agree, saying that a small temple could not accommodate a big Buddha. Zhu Gui and several others gave Lin Chong an idea, and finally went down the mountain to accept his name. As a result, Lin Chong defended for three days, and he was unable to start when he encountered passers-by such as old mothers and weak sons. In the end, he picked up a load of belongings, but also met Yang Zhi. Leaving aside Lin Chong's personality limitations, it is known from this that sometimes it is impossible to get the name of the vote. Killing an innocent person proves that the brotherhood is as deep as the sea, it sounds very heroic. However, in the cinema, the audiences in mainland China are the same, and they cannot see the vicious murder of the three brothers in the small coal mine (deleted).

Changsha Wangfujing Cinema, observed three times before and after (watching the show, buying tickets, and entering the venue), at least half of the people chose to watch "Vote for Name", because it was Saturday, there was an extremely dense trend of people, and there were at least dozens of elevator doors. People go upstairs. It may be because of the time of the 18:00 show, there is a long queue at the entrance to the cinema. Except for the first two rows, the hall is basically full. During the viewing process, the scene where Yangzhou thin horse Xu Jinglei appeared was slightly amused, and the rest of the time was driven by the plot, and the viewing atmosphere was very good. Looking around, the only person who did not express interest and was off the screen was a child playing mobile games. Having said that, even if it is violent and suppressed, there are not many bloody scenes in the film, but why is it easy to be shocked? From the scene to the shot, from the performance of the fierce battle to the portrayal of the characters, "Famous Name" is indeed the best in the blockbuster of 5 years before and after. A simple comparison, you think it is stronger than the naive and neat thinking Uniform group gymnastics - the obvious thing.

However, this is not what I personally think is the most outstanding part of "The Letter to the Name". What is the courage to take the head of the enemy leader in the chaotic army, nor is it the torment of the city guarding the city with love, but "The Letter to the Name" is a traditional Chinese film. The best interpretation of brotherhood, even if it is an expression of a moral value system, is tragic despair. The brotherhood of John Woo's era has been until "Heaven's Mouth" was laughed out of his mouth, but he still did not escape being seen by foreigners as a gimmick of the same sex. In "Voice of the Name", it was basically a sworn act that originated from the bottom tradition, and did not go elsewhere. shortcut. Killing people together, beating people together, for the sake of fame and fortune for women, and following the eldest brother is all right. This is simply a classic series of Hong Kong films that poisoned thousands of teenagers. The film eliminates the existence of the "name-casting certificate" from the very beginning. Pang Qingyun doesn't value it. On the contrary, Jiang Wuyang, who is single-strand, firmly believes in it until his death, even Zhao Erhu. The eldest brother harmed the younger brother, and the "Famous Name" joined the imperial court battle with ambition, which can be regarded as neutralizing the strong color of brotherhood.

At noon, there were ten people at the adjacent table. They also happened to talk about "Putting Names". To describe it truthfully, they did not praise the film very much. For the young woman who spoke, it was probably a task that could only be accomplished by a tearjerker drama. She just repeatedly emphasized that everyone crawled out of the coal mine was dirty, and said that many people were "bald" (should be a misnomer, or Jet Li), Andy Lau, who cried and laughed, was extremely personal, and handsome There is only Takeshi Kaneshiro who regards the vote as a brotherhood, and in short there is no criticism in his words. For them, "The Name" is just a movie in a movie theater that happened to be seen at a random time. They don't need to watch the end credits to see the real shady scene. Not to mention Chen Kexin's name, Cheng Xiaodong, Xi Zhongwen, Huang Yuetai or Li Dongquan may all be different names that cannot be seen. To be honest, the moment I saw Li Dongquan, I was really moved. It turned out that they really mastered the elements of the blockbuster, and they were still a group of Hong Kongers. , looking forward to the harvest of next year's Academy Awards and a real bumper harvest at the box office, so the money is worth the money.
