"The Golden Armor in the City" cost 360 million yuan and is by far the largest investment in China's film. As a result, only the two pieces of white meat that were squeezed out were remembered. "Promise" did not spend less money, costing 300 million yuan, but it was cheaper than that "steamed bun". The two uncles are doing everything they can to create investor tickets for the purpose of serving the Oscars and earning foreign exchange through exports (of course, I still have some doubts about whether those two movies cost so much), basically Nothing is good.
Now Laomouzi is concentrating on the Olympic ceremonies, I think he can be said to be the most suitable candidate. Some fragments of "Golden Armor" can even be used directly, which is only a personal opinion. The Olympics is a major event for the Chinese nation, Lao Mozi, no matter how much you spend, as long as you make this errand more beautiful, the common people are willing to pay you the money. Lord Kai Ge is now starting to tinker with "Mei Lanfang". This is a meticulous job, and it will definitely cost money, but it is definitely not a good movie that can be made with money. "Farewell My Concubine", the spirit of hard struggle came, and we made a good Peking Opera master in our hearts, a generation of famous actors.
It's time to talk about Xiaogang. It cost 80 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot this "Assembly" in the spirit of serving the people. No matter who it is, I cry, it's not easy to shoot like this. The special effects used this time are from the Korean team, and the sound effects seem to be the same. There is no problem with the expression of the war scenes. The cruelty, cruelty, and bloodshed are basically in place. The only disadvantage is that the more you watch it, the more people feel like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers" (many friends have also mentioned this), maybe this The two represent the highest level of world war movies. If Feng Dao can find a way to express Chinese people's own war, its significance is far more than the box office figures.
There are always people who compare "Assembly" and "Flying Taiji Flag", I personally think the latter is better, mainly because of the script. Both films are emotionally moving, and the war is just the backdrop to tell the story. Extreme hardships can make feelings stronger, and nothing is more suitable than war (the Korean War and the War of Liberation itself are entrusted with the feelings and memories of countless people). And the relationship between a man and a man is the most explosive, and the tears of a man can often be more pampered ("Tai" and "Ji" both tell about brotherhood, and "Brokeback Mountain" is gay). In "Tai", there is a blood tie between brothers first, and then a large plot of the plot makes the whole film's plot very powerful and the emotional expression has a foundation. In order to make the younger brother no longer threatened by war, the older brother sacrificed himself and became a fighting hero. As a result, his family was killed by the government he fought for his life for. All dreams, expectations, and longings collapsed in an instant, and his temperament changed greatly. Finally, the younger brother went to the battlefield to wake up the older brother, but he had to face another and permanent separation. The cruelty of the war matched the most gorgeous pendants to the feelings of the two brothers, making them fuller and more sincere. On the contrary, looking at "Assembly", the brutality of the first half of the war did not greatly promote Gu Zidi's later pursuit of his identity and brotherhood (I really can't find a better word). At the same time, the design of many scenes in the second half is emotionally majestic, but a little awkward. (No wonder some people commented on Zhu Jun.) In short, I feel that "Assembly" should not be so short, especially the second half should not be so short, it may be because too much content was cut to pass the censorship. A really strong nation, a really strong nation, dares to face any attack. Unwarranted fantasies and overcautious fears are signs of cowardice.
Finally want to say. Xiaogang is not easy. Learn from a small good example, be loyal to the revolution and be loyal to the party.
