Twenty years later, Brother Kai, who will not be able to guarantee the evening in the variety show, who can understand the epic of his cold reception twenty years ago?
"Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin" was released in 1998, and the response was mediocre. It is said that Kai Ge invested 7000w, and the final box office was only a dismal 1000w. Neither applauded nor popular, Kai Ge's vitality was severely damaged, and it took two years to calm down after giving birth to the second child.
First of all, we admit that although Kai Ge is not good at telling stories, Kai Ge has two housekeeping skills: he can talk and teach, and if he has money, he will be polite.
As a result, he can speak fluently, and he can speak almost into chapters, and his language skills are very strong. Even in the worst "Wuji", he has a poetic description of "love and freedom": "The real speed is invisible, just like the wind and the clouds and the sunset. Moonrise is like you don't know when the leaves turn yellow, when the baby grows its first tooth, and when it will fall in love with someone." The large number of dialogues in "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" are brief and powerful, showing that character. "Prince Yingzheng, have you forgotten your great wish to rule the world?" repeated many times in the movie. The self-suggestion similar to the courage to pay for the salary also makes us feel the great ambition of the King of Qin.
Secondly, the ability to train actors is very strong, and it also benefits from being able to speak well. Kaige knows each actor's shortcomings, advantages, and breaking points, and then optimizes the allocation of resources. Under the training, Mr. Li Xuejian condensed his ambition, surly, madness, viciousness, affection, and vulnerability into a single king of Qin. He never imagined that he was once the "Jiao Yulu" who was devoted to the people, and the arrogant and lovely "Zhang Zuolin, who has thousands of faces in one person, and was amazed.
Finally, Veuve has money and is good at making grand scenes. In ancient times, Xiang Yu waved a torch and set fire to the Epang Palace. Today, there is Victory who spends a lot of money and raises tall buildings on the ground. The siege scene is magnificent, coupled with the atmospheric drumming, it vividly shows the chaos of the war and the desolation after the war, which can be called epic. What is most shocking and outrageous is the picture of Zhao's children lining up to jump over the wall to die for the country, exuding the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, even the children are not spared.
But the movie also has flaws. First of all, there is no clear standard or special meaning to divide the five parts of the film. It just pauses the story to let the audience take a breath and adds to the superfluousness, but it leaves the audience confused. Secondly, the added love scenes between Jing Ke and Zhao Nu are simply tasteless and even cumbersome. Kai Ge may think that the love scenes can attract attention, but when everyone is watching it, a love scene that is not necessary suddenly comes at a very low price. A good movie love scene should be soft and silent, not deliberately concave.
After watching this movie, my heart is shocked, this is the most underrated movie of Veuve. I am reminded of the moment seven years ago when my view of history collapsed. It was a certain history class in the first year of junior high. It was about "Yao, Shun, and Yu's renunciation." They gave a gentle renunciation. They didn't care about the throne like throwing a hot potato. I think they were all very noble. Until the end of the get out of class, there was a classroom practice material that said: Yao's prestige decreased when he got old, and Shun took the opportunity to imprison Yao in Pingyang, and imprisoned Yao's son Danzhu, so that the father and son could not meet, and finally seized the throne. Emperor. It is no exaggeration to say that my view of history collapsed before it was built. . . . . . . . . I realize that most of the history we see is not real history, but the people who wrote it to beautify themselves or to educate future generations. I am very fortunate that I have a skeptical spirit in advance.
Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin, although he didn't stab, but he stabbed the audience's heart. After watching the movie, I thought a lot. Under the wheel of history, everyone is a drop in the ocean, everyone is innocent, and everyone has difficulties. Even the surly King Qin gained the world, but lost his love. Even the king of Qin who responded with a thousand responses, the ministers who had flattered in the game with Jing Ke would have nothing to do with him. So, don’t take it for granted that you will spit on what you think of history as you stand on the top of the mountain. When you actually walk to the foot of the mountain, the beautiful wild lilies you see on the top of the mountain are all pungent. of plastic bags. When you are there, you will experience their suffering.
Although it is said that history is written by the victors, isn't the writing of history itself a manifestation of the failure and compromise of the ancients? The ancestors were afraid that the descendants would be jealous, pointed, and abused, so they glossed over a reasonable motive and found a reasonable reason for everything they did. When the sword, light, sword and shadow are dimmed, and the drums and horns are far away, what we do will eventually become history. In today's era of "unleashing nature", whether we want to show it to future generations or show it to ourselves, whether we should please others or ourselves. Different pursuits lead to different choices.
