The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

After a period of overtime work, Xia Haoyang agreed to complete the script outlines for several companies.

The first set of script outlines Xia Haoyang gave to several companies were for suspense films; the second set was for romance films; now the companies are busy filming and producing and have already determined the release dates; and this time the script outlines prepared for several companies are for light-hearted and humorous comedies.

In fact, Xia Haoyang has thought about introducing gangster or spy-themed films such as "New World", "Insider", "The Yellow Sea" and Hara Bharata's films "Tigers of Valor", "Excitement" and "The Spy King" to several companies.

But these films have an obvious problem: the background world reflected or mapped does not match the current China, and most of the former Goryeo gang-themed films such as "Insider" involve political factors. The last script "Horror Live" was repeatedly studied by the director and boss of Yidaguang Media, and then the script was adapted and downgraded politically.

Considering the differences in culture and social realities, Xia Haoyang thought about it and gave up. Instead, he chose a comedy that was more suitable for filming and production.

"The Anchor" is also known as "Speeding Scandal". It is a 2009 comedy film starring Cha Tae-hyun. The film unfolds with a seemingly absurd story between a 36-year-old man and his 22-year-old daughter. From strangers to close relatives, the funny plot contains a drama of family affection.

It can be said that in Xia Haoyang's own memory, this is the best comedy film he has seen in recent years, no doubt about it.

The production of this film abandons the common routine of comedy films, that is, to stiffly fabricate comedy "laughs" through exaggerated narrative or physical performance. Instead, it interprets an overly dramatic story in a realistic way in the movie, thereby creating countless jokes, and making heavy themes such as unmarried childbirth and celebrity scandals easily resolved. It is popular but not vulgar, and is more easily accepted by the audience.

In addition, the film is also remarkable in character creation and actor selection. The sophisticated acting skills of new actor Park Bo-young and child star Wang Seok-hyun, as well as Cha Tae-hyun's unique comedy style, have created a humorous atmosphere in the film, which not only made the audience laugh, but also deeply moved them.

It is also because of the efforts of the actors that the film as a whole seems absurd, but in fact it is sincere. It is a movie that "can express the joy of a variety of emotions."

"Miracle in Cell No. 7" is not strictly speaking a light-hearted comedy, but a warm and touching healing movie.

In 1997, a mentally retarded man (the male protagonist) with the IQ of a 6-year-old child and his lovely daughter (the female protagonist) depended on each other for survival. Their life was simple and poor, but also full of happiness.

One day, the male protagonist who was obsessed with buying a Sailor Moon schoolbag for his daughter was accidentally involved in a child abduction, rape and murder case, and the victim was the daughter of the police chief. The male protagonist was inexplicably thrown into prison and imprisoned in cell No. 7. In cell No. 7, there were "social dregs" with all the five evils, such as smugglers, fraudsters, adulterers, intimidators and robbers. The male protagonist's childlike pure heart gradually moved these "big bad guys", and they took the risk to bring the male protagonist's daughter (the female protagonist) into the cell to meet her father. In the dark and cold prison, cell No. 7 was full of sunshine.

The film's narrative style uses the daughter (female protagonist) to overturn the verdict of her deceased father as the main plot, and interspersed with flashbacks of the male protagonist's wrongful imprisonment, his efforts to overturn the verdict in prison, and his failure to overturn the verdict to deepen the story content. The whole film adheres to the classic plot of "laughter with tears, tears with laughter", giving people a strong sense of family warmth.

The portrayal of family affection throughout the film is its highlight, and many techniques are used in depicting family scenes.

At the beginning of the film, the audience saw the director's secret code technique used to portray the close relationship between father and daughter. The scene where the daughter shouted "1, 2, 3" after her father left and the father immediately turned around left a deep impression on the audience. Later, this tacit cooperation between the father and daughter also appeared in the prison visiting room. Until the end of the film, when the male protagonist was taken away by the prison guards for execution, this secret code reached its climax in the portrayal of the family scene.

Even though the prison portrayed by the director is as warm as home, where friendships are born and family ties can be briefly continued, the audience knows that the protagonist's life will ultimately not escape the punishment of prison. It is the motivation of this subtext that can pull the surreal joy created by the entire film back to the coldness of the real space.

As for the soundtrack, fans often joke that bad movies can produce great songs. In fact, a good movie that is truly made with care will definitely have outstanding music.

The soundtrack of "The Extraordinary Anchor" was carefully selected in the original time and space, matching the various short stories and various characters in it. The family atmosphere of the pure love comics popular in the 20s and popular songs such as "Walking on Sunshine" by the famous American girl group Girl Authority, which is popular among teenagers, all appear in this film.

In "Miracle in Cell No. 7", there is the prison warden's remembrance of his daughter, as well as his care and concern for the children. "O Holy Night" is a famous Christmas song. The ethereal and soft voice of the heroine and the gripping accompaniment make the work more full and touching, and also express the hope that there is no redress for the father's wrongful imprisonment.

At the end of the film, the grown-up heroine and her father meet the hot air balloon from afar, separated by time and space, in the piano music and the orchestra music that gradually increases from weak to strong. The plot of the film fits the background music, and the slow rhythm, piano and strings run through the whole play, slowly rendering the sadness. While the tone is monotonous and simple, the brisk rhythm is interspersed in it.

In the interlude "I Love You Dad", violin-like strings are used as background rendering, the piano plays a warm and affectionate melody, and the electric guitar and string instruments interpret the daughter's sentimental crying. Then percussion instruments appear, and the song reaches a climax. Finally, strings, piano, and electric guitar appear at the same time, pushing the expression of fatherly love to the extreme.

In the interlude "With Love", the female lead singer leads the chorus, percussion instruments beat out the rhythm throughout the scene, and electric guitars, electronic keyboards and other instruments express the deep fatherly love in the film.

The piano melody in the interlude "Ova" makes percussion sounds, which has the dual effects of playing the melody and also providing accompaniment. The female voice hums and echoes with the piano, making the scene of the movie very warm.

"Balloon" is accompanied by electronic music, with strings making the melody. The music then varies, with a sudden change in style from lyrical to cheerful and cheerful, creating a scene in the film that goes from sadness to joy, and a mixture of sadness and joy.

Finally, in the interlude of "23rd, December", the piano plays a lyrical melody, which is moving and touching, and touches the heart together with the tragic plot of the film. The string section cooperates to make harmony, echoing with the piano, as if telling the audience that the heroine's fatherly love is a beautiful tragedy.

Family affection itself is a universal tear-jerking weapon. Under the director's precise control and the actors' delicate and sincere performances, the crying of the uncle and the loli made everyone feel sad and painful, which is an emotional resonance.

The film tells the tragedy in a comedic way, and the effect is naturally tragic. A "mentally retarded" single father, Li Longjiu, who was wrongfully imprisoned, and a lovely and considerate daughter, Yisheng, the double tear-jerking guarantee of the unjust case and family affection, make the whole film seem to be coated with a layer of mustard. Director Li Huanqing firmly grasps the emotional trend of the whole film with the thread in his hand. Even if you know that this story is impossible and unreliable in reality, and you know that the routine of "there is true love in the world" is actually mediocre, you still can't help but be led by the nose.
