Savage Sister: "Formula" Demonstration (Inferior)

For windstruck, we often say that film and television works are "formula". What does that mean? "Formula" is a mathematical and scientific concept, a tool for human calculation. To be more specific, "formula" films use chemical formulas. The director, like a chemical engineer, carefully mixes and mixes various elements in order to achieve the effect and make a product. Because of the established formula, it can be produced in larger quantities and increase production capacity. Movies are that product. Most of the "elements" contained are commercial elements, and the "effects" are mainly marketing effects.

Guo Zairong's "Savage Sister" is an example of a "formulated product", which includes various elements: Jun Zhixian (a lot), comedy X cop X love (mainly love), legend (one, creating a soul-stirring sense of time and space), ceremony (One, if the audience can imitate it), agreement (one or two), the death of the protagonist (Korean formula, used to induce tears), surprise (added in the last period of time)...

In fact, "formula" is not a problem, various elements Consideration and mixing are expressions of scheming, but the various elements in "Sister Savage" seem to be forced in for the sake of existence, barely putting together, but sacrificing the rationality of the plot and the integrity of the film. For example, the two met due to misunderstanding, and later developed feelings through adversity, which is an expected plot. But in this common "birth to death" scene, it turned out that Quan Zhixian ignored Zhang He's safety and rushed into the thief's den with handcuffs locked. Isn't it too messy? How can such a person continue to be a policeman? How could Zhang He act as if nothing happened afterwards? This shows Jun Ji-hyun's "savage" character, but the character setting cannot override the rationality of the system in the drama world---- "police" and "law" are part of the drama and need no further explanation, just because they are A part of the audience's living world, and they themselves have relevant background knowledge. Unless this is a completely new world view, such as "Star Wars" or "Matrix", the social system in the story should not be too detached from reality. And Zhang He's death was also to satisfy the "audience needs" rather than the "plot needs", forcing an ordinary person to break into the scene of the confrontation between the police and the bandits----however, the thief and the soldier are both fighting and walking, how could he be so accurate The ground "just" walked into the spot where someone shot and died? Jun Ji Hyun thought he killed him, but didn't the police officer's gun match the bullet scar? Isn't it possible to find out which bullet came from which gun?

The protagonist is about to die, and then he is very sad and moved. It is indeed a major attraction in Korean films, but can the script be written more carefully and reasonably? Are there those "must-kill" commercial elements that the script can be so rude to ask for? The element of "Savage Sister" is not just flooding, but out of control, stepping on the script and letting it enslave. The memories of Jun Ji-hyun and his twin sisters, and the secret of playing the piano to avoid the black keys, is the turning point of the story from funny to soulful, which is also in the calculation. It's just that the story of the twin sisters came to an end. It seemed that it was just to satisfy the need of "behind the brutality is the element of affection that must exist"; was the policeman who repeatedly killed people for taking credit, was he punished afterwards? Is there any guilt? Without even a voice-over explanation, the character is only functional—but what character isn't?

In fact, it is not to underestimate the importance of "elements" and "calculations". It is not difficult to see the elements and calculations of these and those in many master-level works, but even if there are traces of axe everywhere, they will not exalt the commercial elements and put the script. Trample to this point---- the two are not necessarily contradictory, you see Wall E is also full of calculations, but based on the plot, the visual effects, soundtrack and story are meticulous and integrated. This may explain why the Korean style craze has lasted for a few years, but Hollywood is "more and more".
