Chapter 837 The inevitable result

""Rescue Mr. Wind" won't work!" This time it was not Lin Xiao who answered him, but Nan Ke.

"The prototype of "Save Mr. Feng" is Feng Nanfei, and it is precisely because Feng Nanfei is a big star who was kidnapped that this case has the value of adaptation, so Feng Nanfei's character design cannot be changed." Nanfei Ke shook his head and said.

"But even if Feng Nanfei's character design can't be changed, what about the other characters? Can't it be changed? What about the kidnapper? The kidnapper can be said to be the biggest failure in the film, even if the acting is very good." Chen He asked again.

"Don't forget, this is an adaptation of a real case, so the kidnapper must look like that in the movie, otherwise, do you think he can pass the trial?" Lin Xiao interjected.

The domestic film censorship system is very interesting. If it involves the military, it must pass the military and political side, and if it involves the police, it must pass the GA level.

So "Saving Mr. Wind" can have such a result, which is already very good.

"Look at this review, it actually makes a lot of sense." Xiao Jie took out a copy of "Film Weekly" and said.

There is a column film critic of "Movie Weekly", the famous film critic Ning Zhiyuan's film review.

"This year's Spring Festival schedule can be said to be full of good films. Strictly speaking, the worst "Legend of the Gods" can be regarded as passing the pass line. Good movie."

"Two films adapted from real events were released during the Spring Festival this year. Both films are generally very well shot, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are excellent works with realistic themes."

""I'm Not the God of Medicine" has been praised by too many people, so I won't express it here. Today I want to analyze with you why the same is adapted from real events, and the same reputation is good, but "Salvation Wind" The box office of "Mr" is not even half of that of "I'm Not the God of Medicine."

"First of all, gangster movies are a genre of movies. The general characteristics of gangster movies are a strong commercial atmosphere, big stars are invited to star in, and a large number of sensory stimulation scenes. The best of the best, the original "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly the pinnacle of this genre.

However, this "Saving Mr. Wind" does not have these two characteristics.

First of all, since it is a police and gangster movie, it can also be classified as a suspense movie. The biggest feature of the movie "Saving Mr. Wind" is its down-to-earth style.The film has no thrilling car chase scenes, no bloody duels, and what it shows is the way of handling cases in an ordinary police force.

This is completely different from other gangster films. Its theme is not actually the incident, but from the incident to the arrest of the suspect. There is no suspense, and it tells you that the suspect has been arrested from the very beginning.But this is also the brilliance of the film. For a well-known event, the result is already known without spoilers. If there is any suspense at this time, wouldn't it be molesting the audience as idiots?
Many people will probably think of the "Seven Deadly Sins" released some time ago. In it, the murderer was caught halfway. Although he surrendered himself, the same thing surfaced.

But the difference is that "Seven Deadly Sins" is a true suspense film, and the murderer's surrender is a suspense, but "Saving Mr. Feng" is not.

What "Saving Mr. Wind" wants to show the audience is not the complexity of the case, but the process of capture.The film focuses on the meticulous thinking of the police during the entire arrest process, allowing the audience to fully see how the police approached the criminal suspect step by step in the process of handling the case. Even more engaging.At the same time, it can leave a certain space to talk about social issues.

Just speaking of this, I am afraid that many people have a feeling that if this is the case, then this film should actually be regarded as a police propaganda documentary, which is exactly the case.

Okay, let's get back to business, so why is the box office of this film so much worse than "I'm Not the God of Medicine"?

This starts with the mode of crime films. In my opinion, there are many modes of crime films. "Saving Mr. Wind" chose the worst one, which is black and white.For ordinary viewers, there is nothing to watch in this movie except Feng Nanfei.

We all know that crime movies, either have complicated and confusing plots, or complex characters and complicated backgrounds. In the end, many criminals are even better than the protagonists. But to be honest, in the movie "Saving Mr. to anything likable about the character.

So the question is, if you can’t find it, after watching this movie, you will feel chilled, and you don’t want to watch it a second time, so why do we watch movies, spend money and time to watch movies?
When we watch a movie, we associate ourselves with the protagonist in the movie, because human nature is multifaceted.When we encounter difficulties, have we also thought: "Kidnapping a rich man, just risk your life for it." This is the dark side of human nature. When we watch crime movies, we will inevitably think of robbers, robbers, The killer thinks of himself in the shadows.Even though they escaped in the end, we are still glad that this is a good movie.

I also know about the Feng Nanfei incident, which left a deep impression on me, and I have not forgotten it for many years.But this movie made another Feng Nanfei incident, a documentary.I didn't go to carefully study how to make an unforgettable movie.Watching a news report is no different than watching a movie.

If the director wanted to preach and show his understanding of justice, then no, thank you, we don't need it, and we can't remember it after watching it.If it is the so-called "optical regulations", I think that in the future, we should try to make as few films as possible.

Having said so much, many people think that I am only satisfied if I want to beautify the robbers.no!The crime film I want to see is a contest between people, not between people and mad dogs.

There is so much positive energy in society that we don’t need the director to teach us how to look at a mad dog. What we want to see is the humanity that the mad dog shows occasionally, so that I can see a certain side of myself from him.What do you want us to look for in a mad dog, or Feng Nanfei who is handsome and kidnapped.

Of course, the director can also shoot like this, but it is a bad film after shooting, except for the dangling pseudo-documentary footage, which makes the audience dizzy, and the rest is forgotten when they walk out of the theater.

Of course there is Feng Nanfei, without Feng Nanfei, few people would want to watch this movie.I don’t think there is any need to make a movie about the incident itself, because the incident itself is not exciting at all. The reason why everyone remembers it is because Feng Nanfei was kidnapped. If it is someone else, I think this incident may not be necessarily the case. It is a well-known event. "
