There were more than 800 seats in the screening hall, but the premiere only invited dozens of industry insiders, including the crew, actors, film critics, and even if you add the 100 lucky audience members selected by lottery, the overall number was no more than 200.As a result, from the podium, the entire seat seemed empty.At this time, a promotional poster was being shown on the big screen, which was a screenshot of the movie of two young boys and girls hiding from the rain under the eaves.The throbbing of adolescence, the rain of apricot blossoms that are wet, and the clothing design of school uniforms all make people's eyes shine.As a director, Liao Yuan said some details during filming at the scene: "Miss Lin Weiyin's temperament is my most ideal heroine, so this drama belongs to her, what surprised me is that at the scene, Miss Lin's acting skills also surprised all of us, very natural and fresh, people can't see that they are acting, just like an old actor who has debuted for many years, which is probably the benefit of acting in her true colors." ”"Miss Song Baining's Qingyi is a more embarrassing role, but she must exist, because she is the main person who drives the plot, and it is also the first time to act, Miss Song, like Miss Lin, is impeccable in terms of acting skills......"
"Mr.
Zhang Ziming is not much to say, an old actor, superb acting skills, and he also completed his performance very well in this drama......"
Liao Yuan said more than a dozen actors in a row, and the praise comments made all the actors smile."
Thank you to the actors, thank you to all the people behind the scenes, as for the whole story, I think I'm quite satisfied, okay, I said too much, everyone can enjoy this movie!"
After finishing speaking, Liao Yuan walked off the stage, and the rest of the staff hurriedly cleaned up the scene.Soon, the entire screening room was plunged into total darkness.Then, the lights on the big screen gradually appeared.The first thing that appeared was an old sheet music, covering the entire screen, accompanied by the appearance of a piece of pure music called "OpenG", which immediately gave everyone goosebumps."
The atmosphere is very good.""
Damn, this opening song is not simple, this movie may not be just that kind of love movie.""
This music is full of suspense, and it feels like a Hollywood blockbuster!"
Many of the audience members were whispering.Film critics Chen Changping and Zhang Tianhua glanced at each other and nodded their heads.From this piece of music alone, it is indeed good.It is worthy of the work of grand pianist Liao Yuan!
But the soundtrack is only part of the movie, if you just enjoy the music, then it is better to go to Liao Yuan's concert, why come to the movie hall?
Holding a slightly picky individuality, Chen Changping took out a small notebook and began to prepare to write down some characteristics of this movie while watching the movie.The whole movie uses a very comfortable yellowish tone, which looks very beautiful.The details are also quite remarkable, such as the recurring mottled walls of the old piano room, the corridors where the wooden floors have inadvertently turned into concrete, and the four appearances on the walls of Chopin and his lover George?
The portrait of the mulberry and the vines that spread out are also gorgeous.At least visually, the film was a success.But the story ......
Chen Changping frowned, he was about to fall asleep in the first twenty minutes!
In addition to the piano fight, there seems to be a bit of a beginning.Although with his rich experience in watching movies, Chen Changping found that this movie is a supplement in terms of details, but he always feels that it is a little too much, because all the warm and romantic and innocent feelings at the beginning seem too bland, but he knows that the more prosaic the details, the more prosaic they may be the foreshadowing of all the mysteries, so every key line, he will carefully ponder it and guess the story that will happen next.Soon, he discovered some features.The teacher who appears when playing with four hands.Fifteen apples that no one eats.Xiaoyu who never comes to class.Wrinkles and grief at the corners of the mother's eyes, and a lucky bracelet on her wrist.Two people dancing, two people watching the scenery, two people riding bicycles, two people listening to "Lover's Tears" in a video store - Chen Changping suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp.He had a vague guess.Is all this just your one-man show?
Chen Changping stared at Ye Xianglun in the movie.He subconsciously felt that this was most likely a psychotic movie, about a boy who loves fantasy, and the so-called Lu Xiaoyu may not exist at all."
Could it be that at the end of the story, Ye Xianglun is lying in a mental hospital?"
Chen Changping felt that this routine was a bit vulgar.But fantasy is always grounded, so the heroine should have a real epitome.Soon, Chen Changping found that he seemed to have been easily led into an expected plot trap by the director, self-righteously believing that this was just another sad story of the heroine dying of breath.Until......
Lu Xiaoyu played "The Secret" in the old piano room, accompanied by the treacherous tune, the surrounding scene quickly changed, a tornado rolled around Lu Xiaoyu quickly, and the surrounding bookshelves, picture frames, mottled walls, and dilapidated floors were gradually blown up by this tornado......
When the song "The Secret" was played, everything around me returned to normal.Everything seems to have changed, but it seems to have changed again.Everything new!
At this moment, Chen Changping was dumbfounded.With the same expression as him, there were dozens of film critics at the scene.Including the audience, they couldn't help but start exclaiming.Everyone got goosebumps.More than an hour before the beginning of the movie, people were suspicious of Liao Yuan and his film, and even inadvertently despised it.But this time, Liao Yuan shocked everyone!
The last half hour of the film can be said to be a twist and turn, and all doubts are solved in an instant.In the process of interpretation, Liao Yuan even "naughtily" incorporated elements of weird horror and mysterious fantasy.This is amazing!
It turns out that this is the secret that cannot be said?
An old piano room, an old piano, and an old "secret" sheet music.As long as you play at a very fast speed, you can go back to the past, and if you play slowly, you can go to the future.The sooner you go, the more time you have to go back.The slower it is, the farther it will be in the future.The director doesn't need to explain why it's arranged this way, he just needs to tell you bluntly but unequivocally that this is the established rule!
You are helpless, but you accept it willingly - because unconsciously, Liao Yuan seems to have completed the transformation from "general" to "craftsman".Some elements can be seen in Liao Yuan's inner artistic plot, the society twenty years ago, people's indifference and intolerance towards the mentally ill.A debriefing performance at the time of school graduation.Bikes speed across long covered bridges.The small vegetable market is crowded, dirty, but full of credit and reasonable, warm and touching.Mottled correction handwriting "I love you", "Do you love me".Then he used the correction fluid to forcefully point out the heart-shaped pattern.20 years of time and space are reunited at this time, but my lover Lu Xiaoyu is slowly dying."
Smack!"
The moment he saw Lu Xiaoyu lying on his desk and dying, someone shed tears.When the plot is gradually fully revealed.In the old piano room, while the sledgehammer was whistling above Liao Yuan's head, the song "Secret" was played quickly.It's so fast that he can go back to the past before Xiaoyu got the score.So, Xiaoyu didn't know him at that time, and he saved Xiaoyu's life because of this.The final photo reveals the happy ending.Xiaoyu took a graduation photo, which means that she is not dead - this is the only theme that needs to be expressed in this color graduation photo.In fact, Ye Xianglun is not in the photo, it is no longer important."
Good story!"
After watching the whole movie, Chen Changping was stunned, and then wrote these three words in his notebook."
The abrupt existence of the illusory, the unauthorized impact of consciousness, the sudden shear of different time and space, and the pure love of the interlaced eras, no matter from any angle, it is difficult to make such films well, let alone integrate these elements into one film.""
First of all, in terms of narrative structure, if you don't explain enough, it will become an inexplicable bridge, and if you explain too much, you will lose room for fun, and treat the audience as mentally retarded without the ability to think."
In a sense, Liao Yuan's "Secret" and some master-level works can be said to be in the same vein, is the movie a tragedy or a comedy?
This is the proposition left to us by Liao Yuan. ”"If you understand the whole process of the film after watching it, you will deeply sigh that Liao Yuan, as a director, is ingenious and unhurried in handling the details of the film, and it is hard to imagine that a rookie director can integrate his skills into the plot so naturally and skillfully.""
This time, I, Chen Changping, call Liao Yuan!"
