a new Chinese movie

"Crazy Stone" is the work of the "new director" at first glance. This generation of directors who grew up familiar with DVDs has new ideas, boldness, and light burdens, so their understanding of movies is different from that of the older generation. Probably also includes the idea that the genuine DVD only sells for 10 yuan, in order to fight against piracy - I don't understand professional things such as DVD cost, but the low price of the genuine version is undoubtedly a good thing, and it is said that it sells well.
Audience - Young audiences are very popular, the main reason is a "new", this new is the meaning of "easy", because there are few domestic movies, so if there is one, everyone will applaud in unison - the film itself How, is negligible - so "Crazy Stone" is a logo, a symbol, a new direction, which in itself is pleasing, and therefore the audience gives it tolerance and does not care so much. Conversely, if this style were to become commonplace, the film might have received an entirely different review.
From the point of view of the film itself, this film with very heavy imitation marks itself is about 70 points, which is on the same level as "Buying the Murderer and Shooting People". However, its narrative method, camera usage, and music collocation are more skillful (it's okay to say that it is more skillful in imitation), - having said that, I will digress - because it also talks about thieves, naturally some people start to talk about "thieves". A World Without Thieves, in my personal opinion, this is a comparison between movies and soap operas. All Feng Xiaogang's gimmicks in "A World Without Thieves" are irrelevant things outside the content of the movie. He forced all new things into the movie, so the style of the movie is messy, but the director of "Crazy Stone" is very handy. He can't compare to Feng Xiaogang because he is too new, too inexperienced, and the cost is too small, some things he can't control. Just like this generation of children are born with a better grasp of computers than their parents, because they take it as a matter of course, rather than being learned by their parents.
I like the part of this film that combines Chinese local flavor with modern storytelling skills, and I also like the theme music adapted from the four little swans. At the end of the lyrical part, the rock-and-roll four little swans become gentle and demure. The effect of spraying rice. The level of hilarity in the whole movie is actually not that exaggerated. Generally speaking, only the ending part can make people laugh a few times, but basically it will still be worth watching (unless it is affected by the hype and expect too much) - also, no Too much aftertaste.
Huang Shixian's criticism of this film is reprinted everywhere on the Internet. This evaluation is a bit incredible. Professor Huang thinks this film is a commercial film, and it is boring and funny. Such a beginning is not a good phenomenon for young directors-because they will be immersed in the future. It can't come out of the shallows of commercial films.
A director must make art films first, and then he can make commercial films—this method may create a good director with deeper thoughts, but according to the current situation in China, it is more likely that a person who is prematurely bound by rules and regulations will appear. Director of Vitality. Art films or commercial films should be a natural thing. However, Huang's words have this meaning: shoot what you like - I don't know the background of this sentence, it seems to say that the director of "Crazy~" didn't really want to make this film at the time, but he compromised in business. Therefore, commercial films and art films, in Huang's criticism, may not be the significant difference between our understanding and the Xialiba people, but the difference between the films requested by others and the films we like. I personally think there might be something else I don't know about here, such as "another movie" mentioned by Huang, or something unsatisfactory in the process of picking up the film - of course, I don't understand all of this, just from the normal If people think about it, maybe Huang Zhen is a stubborn old man thinking.
Whether making a commercial film can make the director "degenerate" is a matter of opinion. It all depends on the national conditions. After all, China lacks real entertainment movies. No matter who "degenerates", someone has to pick it up. into a hole. Even the Chaplin of the "high comedy" that Professor Huang refers to is the utter boredom that foreshadows so many cake-throwing flops, something is inevitable. The audience's appreciation level may need to be improved, but there must be a process to improve it first. Things like "Wulin Gaiden" that tickle and laugh will be sought after and may find it incomprehensible, but for film and television dramas, there is only one truth ——The audience is after the existence, and the existence is reasonable. If the audience only pursues the most boring things, then it can only be said - they see too little boring things, so they are far from tired of seeing them. Therefore, under the guidance of the mainstream, other supplements are necessary, and absolute norms are impossible. Besides, even if it's so-called boring stuff, there's still some pretty good stuff in it.
