My daughter-in-law chatted with me on WeChat: "Recently, "Descendants of the Sun" is very popular, you can take a look."
"What movie, the title of the movie sounds like a stick..."
"Well, a Korean drama."
"A stick shot ." What do you think? If it looks good, I'll take a look. If it doesn't look good, let's not waste a lot of time..."
"Oh, just go and see for yourself! Everyone has their own opinions. , how do you know if you don't see it yourself!" Come
on, this is urgent.
I don't think so, let's go.
For so many years, I opened my mouth and shut my mouth and took a "stick", and there were no black people in the open or secret. It goes on and on, man, when it comes to this neighbor, it always tastes a little sour. When it comes to playing games, we can't beat others. When it comes to football, the "fear of Korea" in men's football is probably an incurable disease. These are considered "national hatred", but the most disturbing thing is "family hatred". In his hand, "The ratio of male to female is imbalanced! 30 million men are afraid of being a bachelor" newspaper, watching the Korean men's groups come to China one after another, harvesting the hearts of thousands of Chinese pink girls like leeks, burning with jealousy. One is that the gas stick is really hateful, and the other is that I hate myself for not having long legs, no muscles, no face, or it will be your turn... So, for men, watching Korean dramas is a bit awkward, even if a straight man has cancer, Stereotyped prejudice is worth mentioning, in short, it can't hold this face.
The two Song Dynasties brought "Descendants of the Sun" to China. Judging from the actors, themes and the 16 episodes that cost 70 million "the highest investment in Korean dramas in history", the queen mother went to you, the star of the year. For a time, the Empress Dowager's popularity exploded, and the praise from all parties was also overwhelming.
Since everyone said it well, it should be quite interesting.
The MV-style lighting
of the Empress Dowager has no artistic level in itself, it is just a choice of artistic style. This kind of lighting can be called the PS of the camera industry. It not only brings a texture similar to a movie, but also hides some unsatisfactory details while being beautiful and soft, improving the overall look and feel. But there are advantages and disadvantages. While this style gives the picture a soft and hazy feeling, some scenes bring a gray and old feeling.
(Is it a sense of sight in a quarry? The friends in Beijing should be very kind to this tone, and it doesn’t
matter if they are not familiar with it. It will soon be the day of the sandstorm.)
The ones are "Disaster", "War", "Medical" and "Love". Just looking at "love", there is nothing to worry about. Koreans play this game very much. It doesn't matter if you are surprised or not, and don't care if there are new ideas. When it comes to weaving a gorgeous pink girl's dream, there is probably no one more ingenious than Koreans.
What about medical + love?
What about war + medical + love?
What about disaster + war + medical + love?
If an ambitious director has the opportunity to make this type of film, he will definitely be overjoyed, but a director who is committed to making romantic romances takes over this kind of film, and it is estimated that several changes have been made by now. Pants. This is also a place that has been criticized by many people. Everyone thinks that it is inappropriate to play this big era background without the ability to shoot enough exciting love. I think that the grand background brought about by such wars and disasters should not be the original intention of the queen mother. It is estimated that the screenwriter just decided to let the screenwriter in all walks of life, even superpowers and aliens have been brought into a relationship. The male protagonist shoulders the mission of a soldier, turns the female protagonist into a goddess with a lantern, and moves the place where love is fermented to Uruk, where the war is clouded and devastated. There is no problem with all of this. The Queen Mother decided to take another step forward in the original model.
Most Korean dramas are female-oriented, and the Queen Mother is no exception. War and disaster are not incompatible with love, but philosophical thinking and extreme choices in the face of life and death are more likely to produce thrilling great love. In the face of war and disaster, can only talk about life and death, blood and sand? of course not. Belarusian female writer Alexievich, as a Nobel Prize winner, has always been the focus of her writing on wars and disasters. She recorded the stories of small and medium-sized people in World War II, the Afghan War, the Chernobyl Accident and many other major events, and found that in the face of wars and disasters, what women talk about most is not death but love.
I don't remember any men in our village after the war. During World War II, 1 in 4 Belarusian men died on the front lines or in guerrilla warfare. Our postwar childhood world was made up of women. What struck me the most was that women were not talking about death, but about love. They talk about how to say goodbye to their lover, how to survive the long wait, and wait till now. Time passed, and they were still waiting: "If he comes back without arms or legs, I'll hold him." No arms, no legs... I seem to have understood what love is since I was a child.
World War II
During the war, I met my husband. At the time I was in a tank team bound for Berlin. I remember the moment we stood near the Reichstag building. He wasn't my husband at the time. He said to me, "Let's get married. I love you." I was so messed up because we've been living in a war full of filth, filth, blood, and all I've heard is obscenity.
I replied, "First make me a woman. Give me flowers and say something sweet to me. When I'm demobilized, I'll make myself a skirt." I was so upset and wanted to hit him. He felt it too. Half of his face was badly burned and scarred, and I saw his tears run down the scars. "Okay, I'll marry you." I said. That's it, I can't believe it, I said that. There is nothing around us except the ruins, only war.
Chernobyl accident
We live near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. I work in a bakery making mince pies. My husband is a firefighter. We just got married and went to the supermarket hand in hand. The day the nuclear reactor exploded, my husband was on duty at the fire station, and they rushed to the scene in civilian clothes and shirts, no special clothing. That's how we live. You know, they spent the night putting out fires at the scene, endured with a lot of nuclear radiation that their bodies couldn't handle. The next morning, they flew directly to Moscow. Severe nuclear radiation sickness, they don't live more than a week.
My husband was an athlete, strong, and he was the last to die. I got to Moscow and they told me he was in a special isolation room that no one was allowed to enter. "But I love him." I begged them. "The soldiers are taking care of them. "Where are you going?" ""I love him. "They quarreled with me: "He's not the one you love anymore. He's an object that needs to be sterilized, understand? "I said to myself over and over again: "I love, I love..."
At night, I climbed the fire stairs to see him, or I called the night shift person and bribed them to let me in. I didn't abandon him, I accompany him In the end.
How can love be destroyed? Why are love and death so close? They always come and go together, who can explain? I knelt at the grave...
The Queen Mother's problem is that she has already taken this step, However, they are still using secular methods, standards and goals to shape the love that should be refined.
Korean dramas are idol dramas that have always been about love. The most important thing for screenwriters and directors is to shape a pair of male and female protagonists to satisfy the audience, especially It is the fantasy of young female audiences for a perfect partner and great love. So, with the domineering and cold president standing in front of him, the gentle big brother next door, and the sullen superpower alien, Captain Liu pushed aside the crowd and came to the front of the stage. Liu Shizhen is such a man ,
domineering, determined, stern, rational, he will never look back when he says go, but he should also be such a man, humorous, warm, tender, cute, playful, occasionally shy, with It's a bit wilted, and if you want to leave, you still have a good girl.
Such a perfect man, he must be as firm as a mountain, showing the unique "roughness" of a soldier, and at the same time, like the cool and playful summer breeze that lifts up the bottom of a beautiful woman's skirt, showing a "saucy" that is billowing red dust ".
The mountain wind is "Lan". "Lan" means the mist in the mountains, hazy and ethereal, with no real shape.
Liu Shizhen is like this, Jiang Muyan is also like this. In order to meet the needs of the market, we need male and female protagonists who are one position ahead of other Korean dramas. The perfect hero and heroine brings infinite narrative possibilities, but also brings extremely heavy narrative tasks. It is necessary to know that every label on the hero and heroine needs to be fulfilled by the plot, not to mention that the drama itself has plans to describe wars and disasters. There are also two men, two women, two villains, and a bunch of passers-by A, a soldier, a rogue, a rogue, a bandit, a group of passers-by that you can’t remember, and a modern SUV in various colors and a Samsung mobile phone with a waterproof performance comparable to that of a submarine, and Countless slow-motion turns, looking back, looking at each other affectionately, hesitating to say anything, there are also large sections of true confessions, and... all kinds of things. When the director and screenwriter use abrupt, fragmented, and dispensable plots to honor these labels, you will find that these colorful labels not only conflict with each other, but also can no longer see the original appearance of the character.
When our beloved Captain Liu made a large speech about the sense of mission and honor of a soldier reflected in the uniform, who was Captain Liu who repeatedly violated military discipline?
Silent, watching his lover turn and leave, is the elder brother Yumu Bingbing still my "girl harvester" who flirts with girls? Didn't you bring the flirting skill pack when you went out?
When our doctor Jiang was at a loss for minutes and his IQ dropped, the one who resolutely knocked off the heels of his high-heeled shoes, the one who had no background, faced the suppression of powerful women, and relied on his own efforts to become a distinguished professor in his thirties. Who is Hua Tuo?
who is it? who is it? who is it? Is it Liu Shizhen? Is it Jiang Muyan?
No, there is no Liu Shizhen, no Jiang Muyan, only Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo.
Who is Yoo Shi-jin? Who is Jiang Muyan? I don't know, there are too many labels, I can't see the face, and I can't smell the human flavor.
Rhythm
Any problematic film and television works cannot escape the comment of "poor rhythm", so what exactly is "rhythm"?
We are not professional film critics, nor have we learned relevant knowledge. From the perspective of an audience, I think "rhythm" is the integrity and logic of the narrative.
In this way, the queen mother's rhythm problem is almost inevitable. Because the market demand for perfect and complex characters and good rhythm itself have irreconcilable contradictions. The character design is inherently flawed in logic, and the heavy narrative pressure it brings will inevitably affect the integrity of the narrative.
Narrative is storytelling, just like writing, no matter what the structure and technique are, the necessary "inheritance and transition" is always indispensable. Korean dramas have always been about love as the central idea. "The beginning, the process, the turning point, and the end" should correspond to acquaintance, mutual acquaintance, contradiction and conflict. By solving contradictions, love is sublimated and true hand in hand. Perhaps due to the pressure of heavy narrative tasks, the director and screenwriter decided to speed up, so there was this 14-minute scene in the first episode
