The movie "The Chang Jiang Tu", which is now in public theaters, has been staged as usual, which is an embarrassment for literary masterpieces. The movie is scheduled for a small number of non-prime time slots, so that many fans and fans of literary films have little more choice and space. In this way, the film makers, directors, actors and related staff will be difficult to get as much recognition and return.
But it's comforting to know that many filmmakers are still pursuing their art, and that some viewers are supporting the niche, but not cheap, literary film market in a variety of ways. As if I took the car for nearly an hour early this morning to watch the morning show "Yangtze River Map", originally thought that the weekend day everyone is sleeping, into the venue, but found that more than ten viewers have been sitting quietly, waiting for the movie to open. I don't know how, but this scene, but in my heart a little bit of sour, a little bit touched.
The movie "Yangtze River Map" is the first of its kind in the world. The movie was nominated for the Golden Bear at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival and won the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution (Cinematography) at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival. As the gold medal cinematographer of the film, Li Pingbin is the official cinematographer of Hou Hsiao-hsien, who has won many awards at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, Cannes Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival, and is a god-level existence among the cinematographers in the Chinese film circle. It is precisely under his "ghostly craftsmanship" that "The Yangtze River Picture" is like a beautiful ink landscape painting, and with a poetic camera language, it offers the audience a delicacy and a feast for the eyes and the mind.
Qin Hao, the star of "The Yangtze River Picture," is recognized as the god of literary films, the veteran driver of the acting school, and the lucky star of domestic literary films. Several literary masterpieces led by him have been nominated for and won awards at international A-list film festivals. In Chang Jiang Tu, Qin Hao plays the role of Gao Chun, the captain of the ship who inherits his father's business, and a middle-aged man who swims upstream in search of love and goddesses that are both real and fantastical, and who is somewhat disheveled and paranoid and morbid.
In contrast to Qin Hao, who is a veteran driver, Xin Zhilei, who plays An Lu, the female lead in "Yangtze River Map," was still a newcomer to acting when she took part in the movie. However, despite her shallow involvement in the industry, her acting skills are as pure and sophisticated as possible. In "The Yangtze River Map", Xin Zhi Lei is a resolute character, the behavior of the goddess of the Maitreya, pinpointing the toughness of the full force, and the performance is also a highlight of the eye. Especially in her eyes, there is always a kind of light, perseverance, tenacity, do not give up, do not give up, seamlessly fit An Lu's complex inner world, complicated thought space.
In the scene where the river is running and shouting "Gaochun ......", Xin Zhilei is the only one who has ever been a part of a movie. In the scene, Xin Zhilei will An Lu's despair and determination to the fullest. And later in the "jump frame" shots, An Lu's despair after the put down, release, but also by Xin Zhi Lei light but not lose weight body language, interpretation of the right.
The two scenes, although there is no backlighting, highlights, close-ups, and did not deliberately capture her face, bright eyes, Xin Zhi Lei just through the seemingly simple body language, body movements, to accurately convey the heart of the An Lu, acting skills, strength can be seen. Obviously can be a literary film goddess of the value of the bearer, but prefer to use the strength to prove themselves. Xin Zhi Lei's explosive power, plasticity, in the "Yangtze River Map" can be fully realized.
A good movie can not be separated from the interpretation of good actors, but also from the hard work of all parties. Take the male and female lead actors Qin Hao and Xin Zhilei as an example. It is said that Qin Hao was recommended to play the role of Gaochun, for which he also learned a lot of knowledge of boat driving and boat repair, and lived on the boat for several months in a closed experience, the spirit of dedication is admirable.
Because of the plot, the role required, Xin Zhi Lei's situation is even more miserable. The closed life experience is the most basic, read the script, figure out the psychology of the characters, characterization is also a must-do homework. Not only that, on cold days, Xin Zhi Lei had to be immersed in the cold river water many times, trekking barefoot in the mud, and walking ruggedly in the mountains.
Despite the fact that the weather and the river water are often freezing people to the bone, but Xin Zhi Lei can not let the eyes go out of focus, so that the face of the distortion, and even more can not let the mouth up and down fight. Because, if that happened, it would be difficult to present An Lu's mind accurately ...... Kung Fu, Xin Zhi Lei's acting skills have not only been recognized by the film, the audience, but also in the international film festival harvested the world-class acting god Meryl Streep's praise and sprinkle flowers.
It is worth mentioning that, in order to better fit the role of An Lu, Xin Zhi Lei appeared in full color in the "Yangtze River Map", the "literary film goddess of color" reputation, is well deserved.
The "Yangtze River Map" has allowed Xin Zhilei to devote herself to a number of firsts in her acting career, including a passionate scene with Qin Hao. Unfortunately, the five-minute, somewhat morbid and erotic "lovemaking while discussing poetry" scene was cut from the movie for censorship.
The Yangtze River Map is a literary film, but also a work of art. A photographic art bloom, an acting strength of the anger, a section of life against the flow of writing.
