In this film, the camera lens is smart and innovative, the sense of the times is strong and precise, the narrative is smooth and rhythmic, even the actors' performances and line settings are very online, and even the retro soundtrack and theme song are very suitable for Hong Kong, a city that is full of money and money. It does not belong to the top, but it has no shortcomings in all aspects. It depicts that bizarre era vividly with the unique romantic temperament of a Hong Kong film. Especially in the scene of Lai Hao talking on the phone with Lei Luo after he was released from prison, there really is a feeling that the green hills are still there, and the sunset is red several times. Watching this movie, there is a feeling of watching a movie from the heyday of Hong Kong movies. I don't even want to say that this is Wang Jing's movie.
When I was a child, I read Wang Jing talking about how he got into the industry. At that time, he said that because his father was the TVB gold medal producer Wang Tianlin, there were thousands of movies in his family. I'll see. Originally, I thought it was just a pretext, but now I understand that this is a quiet act of pretending to show off how awesome I am. As a man who has read countless films before entering the industry, he must know what kind of rubbish he is shooting, but he still goes his own way and works tirelessly to make bad films for money. But for most people, the consequence of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is that you are really a pig by pretending to be a pig, and making bad movies over the years will only make people forget how to make good movies. Thinking about this guy Wang Jing now makes people jealous. After so many years of bad films, he can still make such a good film. He is like a guy who never studies hard. It is said that it is due to talent, and God will reward you with food.
Another very admirable thing is Wang Jing's keen sense of smell in the market. Obviously, in the past year, everyone who insisted on making bad films has fluttered. The audience has been quickly educated by the bad films in recent years, and the demand for good films and word-of-mouth. Higher and higher. As far as Wang Jing is concerned, the audience's patience with him has reached the limit. If he fails another movie, he will only be stepped on by 10,000 feet and will never turn over. But at this critical moment, the sudden release of such a film saved his reputation, as if he had cleared his positions at 6,000 in the stock market and left the market exactly. Whether intentional or not, this is a very suffocating operation.
