History and historical stories, starting from Chibi.

In the beginning of high school, I hated history, and I often got 2 or 30 points in history quizzes, so every time I saw the history teacher, I would hide away. Fortunately, she didn’t know me very well at that time. Later, the representative of the history class sitting in front of me paddled, but the teacher dismissed it. Because of the class representatives and the various committee members around me, the only one left was me, so the teacher chose me again. When I represented the history class, the group of friends finally pulled me into the water. In this way, I got on the pirate ship and stayed until graduation.

After becoming a class representative, I always felt that I had a responsibility on my body, so I spent a lot of time reading history all day long, and finally I could memorize the whole book. Only then did I know what it means to be a hard worker. Of course, I also fell in love with history.

History is history, to put it bluntly, but it is interspersed with the great achievements of various monarchs over thousands of years, so after a long time, I prefer to believe in unofficial history. And history is just a belief that I use to worship my ancestors.

From Wuji, to the golden armor in the city, and then to the night banquet, directors have begun to like to tell historical stories to the audience. I don’t know whether it is because of their lack of historical knowledge or because they don’t like history. In short, the history of The timeline is a mess; so they are just telling a story, and that story is a story of the combination of Chinese and Western history, so I often think that if this story is placed in modern times, it is more likely to be placed in some unknown ancient times. more attractive.

Therefore, I look forward to someone who can tell me a story that can make me feel "that's what happened". I prefer traditional culture, so I wasted the most enjoyable time in college to choose cultural dissemination that no one cares about at all. I endure an empty classroom of 8 people every day and listen to the teacher on the stage to teach traditional culture. Express the drowsy mood in the class.

Later, I heard that John Woo is going to shoot Chibi, I think I can finally find someone to tell me about the past. But I was wrong, John Woo is an action director after all, just like I can't expect a person from a science and engineering degree to be able to write poetry against me all day long.


Picture: From the picture, Chibi has made enough money. I don’t know if it’s because there is a consortium behind it, or because the screenwriter has Coke in his head. After adding a bunch of irrelevant and messy foreshadowing, it finally feels like a storytelling. Let's leave the most critical topic at the end, euphemistically called: Let's listen to the next decomposition. Did he really think of himself as Shan Tianfang?


Story: As I said, I can't expect an action director who turned out to be able to coherently tell a lengthy story in short, concise, climaxing moments. Therefore, a person who is an action director can only tell a lengthy story more lengthy, because he wants to show his understanding of the action and details from this lengthy story, so that he can tell the audience, look, my gossip array is better than Zhang Yimou. The broken chrysanthemum table is also NB. For a person who has watched a lot of Xuanyuanjian and the opening animations of various games, the gossip array is simply an insult to my aesthetics.

I don't even know what that dystocia story means. I know that Zhou Yu is a person with great love, but this is too hypocritical!


Music: Well, I appreciate the music in Chibi so much that after listening to the opening music, I said to my husband, "Look! The European and American fantasy historical drama "Chibi"!" So I must find an original soundtrack, um.


Lines: I think anyone who has seen it will have far-reaching thoughts about the lines in it. For example, Lord Cao Cao said something special: Desire makes people young. This sentence alone is enough to make the audience shocked. It's a mood, and you have to wait until you see it to understand.


Character:

Zhuge Liang

When Takeshi Kaneshiro appeared on the big screen, I couldn't help but want to be happy. It turns out that I am not the only one who wants to be happy. Almost every time Lord Zhuge said a word, the audience would respond with enthusiastic laughter, and various "relying" sounds came one after another. So much so that I wondered if what I was watching was a serious historical film. I never knew that Zhuge Liang's fan was used to calm himself, and I didn't even know that Zhuge Liang was so uncool when facing Zhou Yu. Therefore, Zhuge Liang will not succeed in his apprenticeship, and he must have forgotten to take the fan.

However, in retrospect, I still have to affirm our brother Jin, although I don't like him, but he worked hard. At least thinking about it now, his Zhuge Liang should be considered more humane.


Zhou Yu

Liang Chaowei is Liang Chaowei, and Zhou Yu was three-pointed by his performance. In history, Zhou Yu is said to be a very generous person. From a historical point of view, Tony Leung played Zhou Yu perfectly this time. It's the biggest highlight of the film.


Although Xiao Qiao

's sister Zhiling has worked hard to cover up her Taiwanese accent, she still gives people goosebumps when they hear it for the first time, but it's good to get used to it later. Well, I admit she doesn't really have a few lines. But you can see that she is working hard. Just why every time the eve of the war, there will be a bed scene? Sister Zhiling's figure is really amazing, even I'm drooling, but--it feels a little less tactile to the touch. Oops.


Zhao Zilong

has a thousand Zhao Zilongs in his heart. He has always thought that Zhao Zilong should be a handsome and unrestrained type. You must know that when I was a child, I watched other people play the Three Kingdoms. Among them, Zhao Zilong was my favorite character, because the painting is more handsome, and since then it has also proved that Zilong Brother Long is indeed the idol in the hearts of the Three Kingdoms girls. However, why does Hu Jun in Chibi still look like the leader of the Beggar Gang in Tianlong Babu? Could it be because the gang leader portrayed by Zhangjiao is more popular than Zilong, the head of Wu? Big 囧.


Liu Bei

I have always known Liu Bei was down and out, but I have never seen Liu Bei so down. Especially the part of weaving straw shoes, Aiko who is close to the people is not so fond of it!


Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang had never seen someone

who was not serious, but they had never seen someone so unserious. Sun Shangxiang does have a personality, but it's not enough to use Xiaoyanzi's personality to play Chibi. Seeing this pair of brothers and sisters reminds me of the unparalleled world. I don't hate either Zhao Wei or Zhang Zhen, I even like them a little bit. But no matter how you look at it, you feel that these two people are here to make trouble in this red cliff.


Cao Cao

is ruined, does the movie really have to separate the righteous and evil camps into black and white? It's true that Cao Cao is a traitor, but he is also a hero. Why do I think Zhang Fengyi is the incarnation of the boss of the underworld, and he is an old rogue. Not only did he look at Xiao Qiao's portrait, he thought: Desire makes people young. Even in the lines of his subordinates, it is shown that Cao Cao sent troops to Sun Quan for a woman. I rely on! I can't help but want to scold my mother, this is too underestimating Cao Cao! It's really like what Cao Cao said: like a tiger licking its webs!


The entire film took two hours and 15 minutes, excluding the lower part of December, of course. I believe that this film is beautiful for John Woo and also for me. Aside from the flaws in the film, it is actually quite interesting, especially the scenes. Objectively speaking, the gossip array is regarded as a Chinese costume film. It is relatively grand, and it is really worth seeing than the Chrysanthemum Terrace. However, after watching The Lord of the Rings, it is not surprising to find any big scenes.


The editing techniques are very beautiful, especially the long stacks in the opening scene, which make "holding the emperor to make princes" seem more natural. The dialogue scene of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang standing on the boat in the back is also very good. Instead of using traditional cuts to switch the dialogue between the two, the entire scene runs through the entire scene. There is no tense rhythm, but it is described with a long facial close-up. The feeling of heroism between two people. It really hits the spot.


The scenes of war are even more sloppy. Obviously, John Woo is better at action scenes than emotional scenes. So the emotional scenes in the film always feel a little redundant. It is precisely because Wu Yusen likes to depict the details of the characters so much that it slows down the progress of the whole film.


Storytelling is not about being long, it is about being fine. Although Wu Yusen did not do it, he could feel his love for the Three Kingdoms and Zhou Yu. So in Chibi, even Zhuge Liang felt that he lost his color.
