As a result, after get off work in the evening, I went to the theater clutching my tickets, only to realize that I was really worrying about it. You can buy a ticket at 6:20 at 6:19 and you can get a good seat... Why is the attendance rate of "Confucius" so low? Should not be! In particular, a man in a military coat standing at the entrance of the cinema hall eating instant noodles and waiting to watch "Avatar" made me even more puzzled: "Avatar" has been online for three weeks, and "Confucius" is a new film!
The popularity of "Avatar" has continued for such a long time, and those people who have never been to the theater to watch the movie have started to lean over and ask, "What is IMAX?" "Avatar" is like a big festival in the New Year. Our people love to join in the fun.
On the contrary, everyone saw that "Confucius" was mentioned on the news network, and they thought they couldn't be fooled. When they heard the rumor that "Avatar" was withdrawn from the 2D screen to give way to "Confucius", they were even more disgusted with "Confucius" and had not gone to the theater yet. When I saw it, I started to scold it and spit it out.
Well, let me see how bad this unpopular film really is.
Look at the subject first. It's a really bad subject for film performance. The influence of Confucius on the Chinese people is deeply rooted in everyone's heart. No matter how the film is made, it is impossible to have no doubts. What's more, the value and achievements of Confucius are concentrated in his thoughts, and "thoughts" are difficult to express by means of film and television. The Confucius who lived 2,500 years ago did not leave any treatises. Most film and television script creations can only refer to the Analects of Confucius, which records the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, as well as sporadic records in Records of the Grand Historian and Zuo Zhuan. To attract the audience, you have to perform, but as long as there is performance, it will definitely attract scolding. For the above reasons, this type of subject matter is a subject that people in the film industry avoid. Hu Mei chose this hot potato.
But after reading Hu Mei's "Confucius", I recall that the plots of falling into the three capitals, leaving the homeland, the master's teaching, and the son seeing the south have their own wonderful points. It was not easy for Hu Mei to express Confucius in flesh and blood in two hours.
In terms of rhythm, the rhythm of the whole film is a little slower, there is no obvious climax, and it is not so like a blockbuster. Hu Mei was born in TV series, and the script of the movie "Confucius" was also taken out of the script of the TV series, which is inevitable. But there are a few scenes that are very delicate and moving.
For example, Confucius, who was defeated in the struggle for power in the state of Lu, left his homeland with a carriage, and fell on his back in the muddy water in the pouring rain. The horse seemed to know the sage's heart and nodded to him, which made the low-hearted Confucius laugh at the sky in the muddy water. That kind of self-deprecating and relieved self-deprecating, presumably the real Confucius should be like this, which is admirable.
For example, in the scene of "Zi meets Nanzi", Nanzi, dressed in costume, walks around Confucius, and then turns to the front to have an intimate conversation with him. Nanzi smiled, leaning forward from time to time during the conversation, and his eyes were full of provocation. Confucius, played by Fa Ge, sat upright from the beginning to the end with a calm expression on his face. Until Nanzi said to Confucius, "Many people know the suffering you have suffered, but they don't know the realm you have experienced in the suffering", Confucius suddenly moved, and led Nanzi as a confidant, and the two bowed down to each other and bowed to each other. It's a courtesy. Several rounds of dialogue in this scene and the rivalry between Fa Ge and Zhou Xun are very impressive and impressive.
In the performance, Fage's trembling lips and his hunched back when he returned to his homeland are all very powerful.
The taste of domestic films eager for quick success and instant profits permeated the whole 2010 Lunar New Year file. Among the many domestic films that hoped to make money and run away, "Confucius" was made with sincerity.
When I was watching a movie, there was an old man in his 70s sitting next to me. The old man had age spots on his face and was still fat. I am afraid that walking would be a test for him. ". This makes me think that even in this entertainment era, whether it is film creators or audiences, there are still many people with serious and romantic cultural feelings among them.
I advise everyone not to spit too hard, go to the cinema to watch the movie and then talk about it.
