Chibi (Part 1)

I went to watch "Red Cliff (Part 1)". Ever since I decided to be in the film and television industry, I decided not to speak ill of Chinese directors anymore, because I ran into it one day, which was very embarrassing. If one day I am determined to blend into the overseas market, I promise not to say anything bad about the director. Therefore, "Red Cliff (Part 1)" is still worth watching. If you are a fan of Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung, what? You still fan Lin Chiling and Zhao Wei, congratulations, you won the prize. Since you promise not to say bad things, then gossip, digressions, and constructive discussions on the technical level.

1. Many people say that the screenwriter is too weak. I want to speak for our screenwriters. In the domestic filmmaking, the director is the director. If the film is made, it means that the script of the screenwriter is not bad. If the film is bad , That does not mean that the book must be poor. The basic logical relationship is that for bad movies, the director has to bear 95% of the responsibility, and for good movies, the screenwriter can bear 60%-80% of the praise.

2. The safest way to make an ancient costume film familiar to Chinese people is three methods: 1. Fully respect the common people’s aesthetics of storytelling, 2. Completely follow historical facts and find twenty experts to escort them. Whoever dares to talk more will kill him. 3. Both sides No, it's completely re-edited, such as "Journey to the West". The most terrible thing is to mix the three things together, which is not justified. This is not a bad thing.

3. One of the most fascinating characters in "Red Cliff (Part 1)" is Guan Er Ge, 1 he doesn’t like riding horses, 2 he doesn’t like using knives, he likes fists and kicks, 3 he had a chance to kill Cao Cao in Changbanpo but he didn’t. (Lao Cao himself said) In return, Lao Cao let him go. The director loved Huarong Dao too much, so he moved it out in advance, but under the circumstances at the time, how could it look so awkward. Okay, I admit that I couldn't help but say something bad. (Note: Dia, sound sickness. Three thunders are stacked together, which means too thunder, thunder in a clear sky, the usage is the same as thunder, for example, I was caught by Dia today.)

4. Regarding the formation is the biggest highlight of the film, this is actually my strong point. I have read war strategies and studied the differences between Chinese and Western formations. The western formation is very simple, not particular, and emphasizes the cooperation of arms. For example, the typical formation is the infantry row of squares, the first row of shields, the back is a mix of crossbowmen and spearmen, and the back is long-range weapons such as catapults. The two flanks are cavalry, used for raids and guards. This formation is called "Baihe Liang Wing Formation" in the Chinese Romance. For the Chinese who grew up listening to storytelling, the formation is a very mysterious thing. "Feng Shen Bang" and "Mu Guiying Great Breakthrough" are basically like science fiction films. This is not groundless. In history, the Chinese did add elements such as celestial phenomena, five elements, gossip, and Qimen Dunjia to the formation to mystify it. The enemy caused internal pressure and used superstition to boost morale in three areas. So this kind of thing is useful in actual combat. A more extreme example is that in a certain formation, it is said that in Muri, the generals of Muming are used to attack. The wooden door is broken. Also, on a special day, if you use a woman in battle, you can be ten, shit, gang rape? Looking at China’s actual combat formation, there are only four core points: 1. The arms are coordinated to form the best combat system. 2. The reality of troops is hidden through various means, so that the enemy does not know where to break. (The weak point of the battle formation), the deadlock (the strong part of the battle formation) is also. The three formations are based on changes. Change the deployment of troops according to the situation to form a local advantage. The person waving the small flag was shot dead, and the formation was in chaos. There is a certain reason. Of course, in reality, there are actually many ways of communication, such as voice, communicator, and pigeon release (Wu's favorite). There must be a reserve team in hand at all times and the camera is dispatched. Once you have mastered these four points, regardless of the long snake formation, the two dragons out of the water formation, the three talent formation, the four square formation, the five element formation...you almost understand it. If you look at Master Wu's gossip array based on these theories, you will find that this gossip array is very Western. If you add something cryptic, it's like China's, and foreigners will definitely like it better.

5. After listening to the storytelling "The Story of Yue Fei" when I was a child, I wanted to make a Yue Fei movie in the future. Two years ago, I heard that the beautiful male director Tang Jili was like my ideal. There was a rumor that Guo Fucheng should act as Yue Fei at one time. That's it, it is estimated that the trial was conducted by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Yue Fei was hitting Jinbing. Isn't this bullying ethnic minorities? It doesn't conform to our ethnic policy, but as far as I know, it's not Jin Guo who has been bullying all the time. Han Chinese? By analogy, Yang Jiajiang, Ming Yinglie (first half), Wen Tianxiang, and Sun Yat-sen (first half) could not be filmed, and the rest of "Red Cliff" was photographed.

6. I decided to put my ancient war films in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, it was Han Chinese who beat Han Chinese and would not make policy mistakes. According to my research, there was still no courtesy and joy, and everyone engaged in Fairplay. Therefore, when fighting, we are very disciplined. They are in line and are soldiers of courtesy and righteousness. They have a certain sense of ritual. Line up and perform. When the other party sees, shit, we don't know how to retreat in this group gymnastics. North Korea will be the world's largest military power in the Spring and Autumn Period. Or send a strongman on each side to come up and break their wrists, and whoever loses will give the other a city. Or each send a combat staff to do a sand table deduction. I was going to advance like this, and I decided to fight back like this... Later, I invented chess. When did this situation end? It is said that in 638 BC, Song Xianggong and Chu State fought in Hongshui. Song Xianggong was a man of benevolence and righteousness. He rejected the courtier's "half-crossing and attacking" tactics and resolutely did not attack. The formation of the enemy was rectified, and as a result, when the Chu army crossed the river and lined up, a charge slashed Lao Song. Lao Song became everyone's joke for this (Chairman Mao's comment: idiot-like benevolence and justice), and together with King Xu Yan, he was swept into the pile of old papers as a model of benevolence and justice mistaken for the country. An era is over.

7. I have always had a question about Cao Chuan borrowing arrows. How did Zhuge Liang know that Cao Bing would definitely not shoot rockets?

8. On the Internet that day, someone said whether red cliff should be translated into red rock.

    Actually, I wanted to give one star, but because of Hu Jun's performance, I gave it an extra one.
