Chibi is a work that turned out to be a surprise. The romance or historical facts that people were looking forward to did not appear as scheduled. Instead, a lot of contemporary buzzwords with a comedy color came. When people have countless epic-like expectations for Chibi, For a while, I found out that Director Wu actually spent hundreds of millions to shoot a light comedy in ancient costumes, which was fresh and interesting. In this context, the imagination under the red cliff basically has an outline, which is nothing more than a similar big scene and a similar Leiwen drama. Therefore, the audience is mentally prepared before entering the theater, either to the scene or to the lines. Come.
The audience's expectations were basically met. This time, he didn't come up to fight. Instead, he arranged countless literary dramas to set the stage. It can be said that the foreplay is in place. From Sun Shangxiang's undercover, to Liu Bei's fake runaway, the typhoid plague, using arrows to make gunpowder, and using all kinds of methods to build momentum for the final battle. Director Wu's Chibi is neither the Romance of the Three Kingdoms nor the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. His changes often make people feel that they are more to cater to the ideas of foreigners. His deletions and additions to the well-known Chibi stories are basically logical. , However, for the vast majority of people who are deeply influenced by Romance, they always feel that there is a little less adjustment. I didn't see the soldiers shouting "Thank you for Prime Minister Cao's arrows" after borrowing the arrows, I didn't see Kong Ming taking advantage of the east wind to get angry with Zhou Yu, I didn't see Huang Gai's willingness to fight, and I didn't see Cao Cao's moving face on Huarong Road. And Guan Yu's righteousness Bo Yuntian, although these are all romances, but they are all deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Director Wu removed them like this, as if the roasted mutton skewers forgot to put cumin, and they lacked some ingredients.
What's more, the dignified princess Sun Shangxiang disguised herself as a man and went undercover. Not only that, she also got to know her true love, stupid Sun Shucai. If you think about it carefully, there are not many mistakes in the logic, but the taste has changed and the feeling has changed. This feels very in line with the thinking of modern people. It is the logic and operation method of a modern film, but it is difficult to say whether it is the way of thinking in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This change is easier for us to accept, but on the contrary, it is difficult to accept.
The terrifying drama is still the same. This is what Director Wu deliberately did. In order to give the people a good time, if the people still have difficulty accepting the last episode, they will look forward to the next episode. The people are actually waiting for one by one that can be changed into signatures. statement. As a result, don't make trouble, you are outdated, but let the audience laugh at the right time. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are still so harmonious. It seems that harmony is the most expensive in the 21st century. Although the two people's broken backs have been reduced countlessly, in the last scene, their lips and teeth are almost facing each other. Affectionate desire. Lin Xiaoqiao still has the same AV sense of chanting, Sun Shangxiang is still the same little swallow, Liu Bei has the same tough face and pretends to be kind, and Brother Nakamura grimaced and sacrificed. Enough thunder, and thunder just right.
I always feel that Director Wu has a stance of fighting for Chibi. Thinking about the romantic and violent aesthetics of the heroic pistol and white pigeon, it is difficult to imagine Director Wu who does not spend money and does not film to control the big scene like Michael Bay. . However, people often have to give up once or twice. So the scenes are generally good, especially the super-long action scene at the end, which is the only reason Chibi can be worth the price.
It doesn't matter whether there is something new or not in this kind of scene, the important thing is that the momentum should be magnificent. Therefore, I saw the shield formation in the last episode and the unparalleled display of the major generals, but I still felt it was enjoyable, because the momentum was big enough. The vast river surface, brightly lit, one after another, blasting and burning all the time, although the war scene is not as romantic as the blood splattered everywhere under the sun in the previous episode, but it is also just right, with the background of the drum sound, it can already make people feel The blood boiled for a while.
However, the foreshadowing is quite satisfactory, and the fight is considered to be a climax, but the ending makes people excited. Cao Cao was defeated and retreated, but he did not surrender, even one soldier and one soldier had to fight. This is the bridge of Japanese hot-blooded comics. Seeing Sun Shangxiang kneeling on the battlefield crying for her lover, and then a confrontation in a love triangle relationship network. General Xiahou said that we lost because of this bitch, and shouting out the audience's voice also completely turned Chibi into a bad movie.
In front of Cao Jun's tent, all the main characters, big and small, protagonists, big names, and small wrists gathered together. This is the operation method of the Conan theatrical version, and never miss a row of the named protagonist. Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, and Xiahou three, arrows pointed at each other and moved out. This is obviously a remake of the Tiantai drama of Infernal Affairs, just replace the gun with a sword. After the confrontation, Sun Quan shot Cao Cao insane with one arrow but did not take his life. He tried to besiege Cao Cao but did not capture the rebels. Zhou Yu said, "Go back where you came from" and "In fact, we all lost. ", showing the essence of harmony and the main theme, this is not a cruel war, not a heart-pounding battle of Chibi, this is the ending of a vulgar Hong Kong film, the kind of ending where the bad guys have the opportunity to reform, and the good guys will never kill them all. In the end, Zhou Yu took Xiao Qiao away from Cao Cao like this. That glance seemed to say that you can't take my woman away, and Xiao Qiao's affectionate glance seemed to say that you are very good, but I love Zhou Lang more. The Soochow army class teacher, the movie is over.
In the end of the movie Chibi, Cao Cao was willing to fight for the beauty, and Zhou Lang entrusted Ji Zhi to keep the beauty in the heart. Or, Zhou Lang won the crucial battle to win his wife, and one trait far surpassed Cao Cao was the key.
Chibi up and down came to an end, and Director Wu finally had an explanation and could rest for a while. Although the ending is very modern and Hong Kong films, even though Zhou Yu is dressed in white and dancing with a sword, it is like a hero, the confrontation between life and death is like Infernal Affairs, and the sacrifice of Shitong Nakamura is like Dong Cunrui, which still does not prevent the film from exuding a kind of The taste of chibi, reinterpreting history with the ideas of modern people. It is already a pioneering effort to try a taste that a historical blockbuster can be shot so easily.
After the movie, remember two lines: Don't make trouble. You are out of date.
These two lines can say so. Audiences who want to see epics or historical facts say "don't make trouble" to Director Wu's operation, but Director Wu said in a modern way, "You are out of date."
