Enlightenment from "Secret Agent"

Warner Bros. Investment, Jin Zhiyun directed the anti-Japanese movie "Secret Detective" (2016), knowing that it is supernatural, mysterious and mysterious, but it is really enjoyable and beautiful. Together with the annual blockbusters such as "Cry", "Miss" and "Princess Dehui", it created the miracle of the success of the 2016 Korean commercial film.

The success of "The Secret Agent" is extremely shocking, and the use of montage has reached the extreme. The jumping images are controlled with a sense of rhythm in its rhythm, which can be said to be smooth and pleasant. Photography is the key. Editing has grasped its fluency, coupled with the powerful background of the music, which has made the blunt scenes come alive.

Of course, for me, it is not the dazzling pictures and suspenseful, thrilling and tragic plots. What I value is the three most famous Korean acting schools in the same scene. This is really a rare scene, just like Jeon Do-yeon, Lee Young-ae and Shen Yinhe playing together, but they will never be together. The difference between professional actors and amateur actors lies in their precision and physicality.

Kong Yoo continued his sharp and unstoppable vigorous miracle. In 2016 alone, he shot "Travel to Busan", "Men and Women" and this "Secret Agent", which can be described as his prosperous years. To be honest, Kong Yoo does look like a bad person, but he is especially emotional when acting as a good person, and he looks like a good person, which is really surprising.

See also Song Kanghao, an old-fashioned, naive and introverted uncle, who has no handsome appearance and no arrogant temperament. He can play any role. With his participation, the movie will not be so bad, but it will make the movie shine. Shenghui. I think Fan Wei can be compared with him, he only needs to make more films. But this reality cannot be compared with it.

I thought that these two powerful factions rushed from the left to the right, and it was up to them. Unexpectedly, the acting great Li Bingxian actually inserted a bar, a left uppercut suddenly, and a side swing, which can be described as shocking.

Although Li Dashen only played the role of the leader of the so-called "Righteous Group" and played soy sauce a few times, he was really good at breaking, with a strong aura, and he was not angry. And influence. Following this film, Lee will take on the second film invested by Warner Bros.

I think the Theater Academy of the Chinese Film Academy must have some flaws in recruiting actors. Think about it, Song Kanghaoan Shengji Hanshikyu Kongyo looks like it is difficult to be an actor in the Heavenly Dynasty. Looking at it, there are a lot of baskets and baskets. They are all the so-called small fresh meat of butter niches, just like the homogenous faces of actresses without exception.

What's rare is that Lee Byung-hyun, Song Kang-ho, including his older senior An Sung-ki Choi Min-sik, Han Seok-kyu and other capable actors, have very few lace scandals outside of acting, and they are dedicated and professional. This is their common feature. This is especially true in Japan.

Unlike Tianchao, he has acted in several movies, all of them are very bullish. In fact, the acting skills are generally poor. Their acting skills are not good, besides showcasing, they are also vain. Compared with the old Shanghai's Zhao Dantao, Jin Sundao, Lin Tian Fang Zhang Fa and other old predecessors, their acting skills are incomparable, and their learning is even more incomparable, so they dare to play. Even after the liberation, Wang Xingang, Fanghua, Zhao Lianyin, Yu Yang, Chen Qiang, etc. are incomparable, even if you find someone who is willing to play a supporting role like An Zhenjiang, it is even more insignificant.

I think back then, how did I think about the role of "Sorrow and Joy of the Middle-aged" (1949), how to use a 34-year-old young man to interpret a middle-aged man who has been suffering from sorrows?

Shi Wei was restless in sleep and food, trying to figure it out day and night, every day he ran to the Bund Park to observe the pedestrians, especially the stumbling middle-aged and elderly people. Director Sang Hu said that he was really in the play, as crazy as Mi Fu's book worshipping stone. With such a paranoid deduction, the "Sorrow and Joy of the Middle Age" which is difficult for future generations to surpass was finally achieved, which is also an underrated film.

There is an old saying that "the fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth", the reality of the world is completely upside down, and the acting is not good, very few people who claim to be "calligraphers" write in writing, and they write "calligraphy". I really can't understand it. I always think that, like Mr. Qi Gong, who is still in his seventies and eighties, that is the right way.

Let's just talk about Mi Fu 900 years ago, why he wrote so well. That's because people "love painting and love often worshiping stones, and study books all day long without visiting the pond", have you forgotten it? Everyone knows that Qi Baishi paints well, but he does not know that he has painted shrimp for a lifetime. And thinking about the present, this flashy reality is really fooling people, think about it, this is not a problem of which industry, let alone who is a problem, but the evil result of this GDP-only society all eager for quick success.
