A glance at the city-Star essay

The novel of the same name was released accordingly, and with the popularity of the film, many netizens also began to uncover the hidden mysteries of the film. After watching the article, many netizens expressed their approval, and then it was reposted by the film's official blog.

[As a person who has read the original work, I can only say that this drama not only restores the original work, but also gives these words a fresh life.

This film has been attracting attention since it started shooting. Thinking of Director Xie's previous amazing works, not only I, I think many people have high expectations for it, and Director Xie really lived up to expectations.

From the perspective of actors, Qin Qin's appearance is really not suitable for the kind and honest Abu in the original book, but I have to say that Qin Qin's acting skills saved him. I never thought that Qin Qin's charming peach blossom eyes could be so pure It is so clean that people ignore his overly beautiful appearance and instead perceive something deeper. I have to say that this arrangement is also very clever. After all, there are so many face controls now, and on the one hand, it also takes care of these people.

And Chen Ke's beauty is unquestionable, from the original "Fair Style" to various later works, no matter how ugly her appearance is, her frown and smile always give you a refreshing feeling and amazement, Beauty that radiates from the inside out.

But the moment I opened the door and looked in, it was me in seconds. I don’t know if the staff who were present at the time could still control their minds, but I couldn’t anyway.

As for Jiang Xintong, I have always favored her. Xia Fangcao in Qin Qin's Song Qiuli was bold and unrestrained, with a heroic look that I still remember deeply, and A Kou in this drama, Lie Yanhong The lips and eyes are cold and silent, showing another style that cannot be ignored.

As for Gu Qing, even at the risk of being wiped out by his tens of millions of fans, I have to say that before the filming started, I really had no hope for him. After all, apart from his early idol drama and "Broken Army" There is no work for the guest role, and he himself has repeatedly stated that he does not like filming. If he has no acting skills, it can be said that he has almost no experience.

But the moment when the young man with the green umbrella appeared in the rainy street was simply amazing, wasn't it?

It is written in the original text: [Abu heard a cat meowing or two vaguely in his ear, and while he was listening, he accidentally bumped into a passerby in front of him, and apologized repeatedly in a panic, but when he looked up, he was a plain old man. A young man in a long shirt.

The young man was holding on to an oiled paper umbrella, his face was a bit unrecognizable under the misty and rainy sky, he could only see the man's jade white hands and pitch black eyes, inexplicably cold and strange.

Then the man spoke, different from the young man's indifferent appearance, the voice was a little light: "Is your stuff okay?"] When I saw this passage, I really felt that Mr. Lu had walked out of the book, what should it be like? It is only through his unique experience and past that he can exude such a character, which made me fall in love with the role of Mr. Lu immediately.

Speaking of the plot, at the very beginning of the story, when Mr. Lu gave Abu an umbrella, although he named the play, but when I first watched it, I felt baffled. Could it be that the umbrella was given to him to give Sujin? In love.

After Yu Sujin fell in love, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the relationship between the two was naturally heart-pounding. Director Xie did not use some weird scenes and soundtracks to demonstrate the horror, but the continuous heavy rain outside the window and the occasional cat. Unexplainably depressing and frightening.

Later, when Grandma was stuffed alive in the well, it was even more frightening and heartbreaking. I believe many people must have thought that Abu died at this time, because the servants beat him and he lost his temper after the temptation. Abu survived strangely, and the constant death made everyone more sure of this.

Even I didn't expect Abu to be a dead person from the very beginning. I don't know if you noticed. Abu heard a cat meow when he met Mr. Lu, but it disappeared after he got the umbrella. I didn't pay much attention at that time. But after Abu gave the umbrella to Sujin, he remembered the meowing of the cat again on the way home alone. Later, when he went home and changed his clothes, the camera made a close-up of the basin of clothes. I understand what it means, but as the story gets deeper, I realize that all the endings have actually been paved from the beginning.

From Abu’s frowning and touching his head while running, the dirty shirt on his body, and Sujin’s sentence “It seems to be raining all the time recently”, they are all reminding everyone that Abu was dead from the very beginning.

The appearance of Mr. Lu is to open a different ending to the established ending, but unexpectedly, Abu gave the umbrella to Sujin, and everything returned to the origin of the story again.

The black cat once again intersected with Abu, but later Abu's relationship with Sujin saved Abu again, but was pushed forward by the servants of Sujin's family.

I don't think this film can be simply called a horror film. Even though the deaths and shadows are creepy, what worries me the most is Abu's transformation time and time again.

From the innocent youth at the beginning to the longing for a beautiful life after meeting Su Jin, to the pain and powerlessness after losing his only relative, and the resentment when he took revenge, and when he finally learned that he had already died. That despair pales.

Especially when Sujin called his name outside the door, he suppressed his voice and dared not answer. From the corner of his eye, he saw the stains on his shirt soaked in the basin turned out to be all bloodstained, he was slightly taken aback, and suddenly wept like a child. Howl.

The storm outside the house, Su Jin's unwillingness to be dragged back by his family in the rain, and his collapsed despair inside the house.

I once again lamented Qin Qin's acting skills, because at that moment, almost all the audience around me were sobbing and weeping as he cried. I felt so sorry for him. It was a kind of despair of faith being destroyed, and he was powerless to resist. .

Later, when Sujin was arrested and went back, facing his father's questioning and accusation, he always said firmly: "Abu is a good man, he will not hurt anyone."

I expected the ending. No matter how indifferent the city is, Abu is still the kind and upright young man who resolutely chose himself when facing the destruction of the city, even though the indifference of the city killed him twice.

But even so, I was abused and cried like a dog. When Abu hugged the black cat and cried hoarsely that I didn't want to die, it was not the fear and despair waiting for death, but the paleness of death.

The conversations and scenes after Mr. Lu appeared were really horrifying and heartbreaking.

And this paragraph is also the moment to show Gu Qing's acting skills. It should be said that this should be the peak of Gu Qing and Qin Qin's acting skills in this play, even if it is only for such a short few minutes.

Abu's last stubborn look was unbearable. The director didn't edit the past scenes into it to increase the tears, but as long as you think about his clarity at the beginning, his good expectations for the world are more impressive than ever. people despair.

Then Mr. Lu’s self-questioning and self-answering also made me answer the question from the beginning, “Why did Mr. Lu give him that umbrella? Is it just because of a whim?”.

Mr. Lu's compassion showed in his eyes at that moment. Maybe he was also helpless and unwilling. He saved not only Abu, but also his own belief, but in the end he didn't change anything.

That's why he was so tired and desolate over there.

At the end of the film, the dawn breaks, the heavy rain has stopped, the first gleam of light comes out through the dark clouds, and a new day in the old city comes again, the streets are bustling, pedestrians are in a hurry, and the cycle repeats itself.

In a remote street, a man's corpse was covered with maggots and gradually rotted away. The black cat next to him seemed to be looking at this indifferent world resentfully with its shriveled corpse and protruding eyes.

Mr. Lu said: "Is fate too strong or people's hearts too cold?"

This question can't help but make me think, and in the end I still think that people's hearts are too indifferent. The ending that Mr. Lu saw was that Abu's resentment cursed the city and destroyed everything, and he himself fell into Abi Hell, and the final ending of the film Although this is the case, I don’t think so. He has changed. Even if fate pulls everything back to the original point, Abu’s kindness still gives life to the city that should have been reduced to hell.

That's why I said that this is not just a horror movie, it also tells about an increasingly indifferent world from a certain aspect. Just imagine, when Abu went to save the black cat and was injured by someone, there were so many onlookers. There are many people, but no one is willing to reach out to help him. As long as there is one person who is willing to extend his hand, then this tragedy will not happen.

Abu will still be that kind, honest boy who is full of longing for the future. 】

Netizen xx: Mr. Pang Shui is right. I didn’t have much feelings for Qin Qin at first, but this time I was really overwhelmed by his acting skills. After his grandma’s death, when he slowly woke up, his eyes were reddened. I couldn't stop crying until the end, Nima, it's too cruel.

Netizen xx: The story above is the same as mine. My eyes are swollen from crying. When Abu hides in the room and cries, he can’t bear it. And Mr. Lu, I always think he is also a person with a story. In the end, standing in the wind and rain, he felt as if he couldn't stand up, his heart ached, and he liked Gu Qing even more.

Netizen xx: According to the author, there will be a prequel of Mr. Lu. I read the prologue, and I feel that it is a story that is too cruel. I don’t know if it will be made into a movie.

……

Netizen xx: Horror movies can make people cry like dogs while being horrified. I have to say that the author is too strong, the director is too strong, and the actors are too strong. Finally, I confess my love to Qin Qin.

……

……

Netizen xx: As a loyal fan of Qin Qin, I was moved to tears seeing everyone affirming his acting skills. I am very grateful to everyone. I have been with him for more than ten years, and there have been constant criticisms of his acting skills and character. It's really heartbreaking, and now I really feel like I can see the moonlight when the clouds bloom.

Netizen xx: Although I don't know Qin Qin well, it's true that his acting skills have always been very good.

Netizen xx: It's a pity that there are too many scandals, I can't afford to love it! !

Netizen xx: The stupid X upstairs, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that someone is messing with him, okay? ?

Netizen xx: Although I don't know if it's true or not, Qin Qin himself didn't deny it, but I think Qin Qin's actions in the past few years are too self-destructive.

……

……

Netizen xx: The thing that hurts me the most is whether I, Jing Han, are okay. Even if the director is worried that the star will ignore the plot too much, he won’t let me know all of Jing Han’s parents, right?

Netizen xx: Upstairs, your house is not bad. Our Qiao Jia’s beautiful face is actually a coachman. What the hell, if I didn’t see his name on the guest list, I wouldn’t even know he had it. Starring, there are three-second shots! ! !

The topic is crooked and right, and the attention of the outside world to this drama has not diminished in the slightest. There are endless debates about this version, but some people have their own opinions.

Facing Gu Qing and Qin Qin's rivalry scenes, they were all kinds of YY, and for this reason, they cut countless videos of the type of "I opened it in the wrong way", let's not talk about it for the time being.

With the box office soaring all the way, this year's Golden Film Festival also kicked off, but Gu Qing was still unable to attend due to a leg injury.

From the best screenwriter, best newcomer, and best film awards, some people are happy and some are worried. Qin Qin sat in his seat and looked at the faces with different expressions around him. He hadn't appeared in this place for too many years.

He once thought that he would never have the chance to stand here again. He gave up countless chances, hid in the corner and watched Gu Qing go higher and higher, but now he suddenly felt that perhaps he could stand side by side with him.He can be stronger, play a place where no one doubts, and then be able to keep his feelings from being hurt, and be able to protect Gu Qing.

"Best Actor, Qin Qin!!!"

Qin Qin was not surprised at all when he heard this sentence, since Gu Qing joined the play, he knew that he would stand up again, not this time, then next time, he has such confidence.

Looking at the pages lit up for him in the distance, he smiled slightly, lowered his head and kissed the trophy, and I came back.

In the end, this film won the best director, best film, best actor and actress awards of the night, becoming the biggest winner of the night and the most important milestone in Xie Yun's life.
