Day527- 1- 162 little lion watching movies

Accompany my wife to see the recently controversial lion boy. Although I belong to the mentality of "you argue with you, I watch mine", I still have my own views on some remarks after reading it.

The first is the overall perception:

The classic story "The Road to Heroes" has many tributes (Plan A, shaolin soccer, Minnan dialect, Cantonese classic songs, etc. ), as well as a good grasp of Cantonese accent (not the overly deliberate feeling of the previous Spring Festival Evening). "Master" is quite Yuan Wah-style, but it is just a happy bridge, with a lot of well-used and even colorful lens language (deep routines ~). Although the combination of reality and reality is slightly illogical, the overall emotional curve experience is still good, and the ending is more realistic. There are also some golden sentences (drums in my heart ... etc.) and finally drums.

The above are basically advantages. And there are many shortcomings.

First of all, the character and behavior of the non-protagonist serve the plot too much. The black and white lions in the village can be bullies if they want to be bullies, and be good people if they want to be good people. Although it is a good change, there is no clear logic in it. If you add one or two strokes to the unclear scenes when they leave the village, such as admitting the leading team in the preliminary round, or stopping laughing when they see the leading players practicing lions every day, and so on. And these are not well implemented. One of them couldn't perform because he deliberately sketched the preliminaries. I have to say that this little reversal that surprises Master and the audience is really not clever-although it can surprise the audience and Master, it is not surprising to the audience at all, because who can't guess this story? At least I don't have any emotional contrast ... Besides, Master started from home, so I shouldn't arrive after the party. In fact, as long as you witness the protagonist pass the preliminaries, the effect is the same.

Similarly, the infinite lion. We have to send this house, but we are late and grumpy, and we are the ultimate opponents ... what a coincidence and deliberate.

In contrast, the settings of teachers and mothers are slightly normal. After all, lion dancing, no matter how beautiful the profession is, is inevitably considered as "doing nothing" by the traditional view.

But there is also a problem, that is, people inside will mention that lion dancing can't earn enough living expenses. I think this may be a bit exaggerated. After all, even the master can earn extra money by dancing lions, not to mention a family tradition of female lion dancers, a Juan (owning a luxury car) and an infinite lion team (mainly a moat): each of the three people finished the shot 100 yuan (or add it up), leaving a small pile of money, but I didn't see it clearly at that time. What was the thickness? In that small village, such a salary should not be low, right? Speaking of technical level, Master is a "near-re-embodiment Huang Feihong", a "living lion" and a "teacher" of the village lion dance team. Who dares to take over such skills?

Here is also my opinion on the question raised by some people: the protagonist won the championship (at least as a candidate, but it is inevitable to show off). Is that strength afraid that you can't take the job?

The protagonist doesn't know how much it will cost because of his father's illness. Finally, even if I give up lion dancing, I will go to Shanghai to work hard. I think this is understandable. Lion dancing can make money again, and it may be a little nervous. It is not easy for them to compete with other professional lions in Guangzhou. Even if you go out of Guangzhou and work hard all over Guangdong, then at least it is difficult for Master to follow them, which means that they lack an important support; In addition, even the real lions, the initial difficulties must be experienced. In 2005, the traffic was not so strong-it may be ok today, and you can make a lot of money by exposure and traffic-so it is difficult to take care of dad at home. In contrast, an hour's work in 30 yuan, assuming 8 hours a day and 20 working days, will cost 4,800 yuan a month, not to mention that the protagonist will definitely find more jobs to help. As far as 2005 is concerned, this figure is still considerable. So the choice of this kind of job may be relatively straightforward. But here, I'd rather he had a better job in Shanghai than in 30 yuan. After all, this lion dance competition may be a good resume for him. I hope so.

Another problem is that people think the characters are ugly and even suspected of "insulting China".

First of all, they deliberately set up a "squinting" person, which is somewhat suspected of rubbing heat, and it is also a kind of gambling. If you feel that the public is dissatisfied with this, you have lost the bet.

As for my personal impression, first of all, the hostess, I thought she was very handsome at first sight. Then the beautiful phoenix eye and beauty spot, plus my favorite ear-length short hair ... to some extent, it's a bit like my wife (solve the case! A: No! )。 The face of the protagonist is almost made according to the face of the female host, and then it is slightly less delicate and slightly prominent ... To be honest, although I am a little sorry for my cousin, this child is really like my cousin when I was a child ... My cousin is from Chaoshan, and it is really not ugly in reality. As for Tom, it's basically a deteriorated version of my little cousin's face, but slender eyes are not a problem. Maybe the man with protruding teeth that looks like an ape is where everyone criticizes him. But the official didn't say the cat was good-looking, did it? Even master said, you are so ugly. Fortunately, you don't have to show your face when pulling the lion's tail. ...

So to sum up, although the woman's face is not like many Guangdong beauties we see now, at least I think it is beautiful; Then that man is basically my cousin's appearance, a common appearance of Chaoshan people, certainly not handsome, but at least he did well in the exam, right? As for Tom, the official said he was ugly. What else do you want?

Except for these three words, no one will think other words are "ugly" and "insulting China", right? People with infinite lions are basically Disney's classic villain faces, while black and white lions are headstrong. A Juan's boyfriend gives the impression that he is a handsome guy in Lingnan. As Master said earlier, although Yuan Wah is not very handsome, he is a sage like type (see "Detective Chinatown" and other works), and there is no problem in packing it up. Teacher Niang is more beautiful. Bigger eyes are the standard face of Disney princesses, right?

As for insulting China, I can only say that everyone has been too sensitive recently. No wonder, after all, the international situation is tense. But let's take a look at the strange phenomena in foreign cultural circles now. Even JK Rowling was expelled from Harry Potter. Should we learn from them? I remember a Up owner named Ba said a joke: "Wikipedia says that political correctness generally occurs in non-democratic countries." Now people in so-called "democratic countries" are making a fuss about political correctness. Should we follow suit and stone our country is "undemocratic"?

Of course, conspiracy theories and so on, I really dare not say that they are right about everything. Take a breath first and nourish your stomach.

65438+1October 17 supplement: recently, the confident tone of the creative team really doesn't match the eyes of some characters, and I can't help but feel that they are really in trouble ... I can only say that those who play with fire will burn themselves.

The third problem is the violation of the "smelly leadership".

I support that this is an interesting clip. Whether a means is intentionally illegal or intentionally funny depends on what effect is finally achieved or what is the balance.

So how far did Master take off his shoes and successfully let it go? Judging from the effect at that time, it seems that it has gone a long way, but in fact, when the protagonist arrives at the scene, he still has to cross a large number of contestants, and the number is not much different from the original. There are still people dancing lions with toilet water? And more than one. Two? This is obviously also a funny bridge. Funny bridge is used to check and balance funny bridge, and it has not achieved really very substantial results. In my opinion, such a "violation" is harmless, or even "nothing happened".

The final victory depends on the physical strength of the protagonist when he arrives. Their advantage is that they are very flexible. In fact, this feature is very obvious from the first two bicycle scenes, especially the one where the female host runs (that is, the one that pays tribute to Plan A), which shows that the male host has a good explosive power. In addition, Master's experience with them and the visible muscle growth after the male master went to work in Guangzhou ... although it is difficult to do in reality, it is reasonable in animation theory.

I want to say in this paragraph that the protagonist is so far away from his residence that he runs back to get the lion's head and rushes into the stadium. You told me he was full of energy? Is this time that fast? Take a taxi, right? I think it may be too late to take a taxi ... Forget it, art processing, art processing. ...

Having said that, I must also say that the arrangement of the script is ingenious: at first, the link of asking the lion to be smart and beautiful is to let the owner of "like a real lion" pass, especially when the owner is old enough to wait for the judges to come over. The latter two events are mainly physical strength and footwork, which are relatively more suitable for young people-especially reflecting Tom's stable footwork and the flexibility of the protagonist. Therefore, even if we draw with Infinite Lion, if we are lucky, such as the other side underestimating the enemy or deliberately giving way, I think it is reasonable, especially since Infinite Lion once said "take-away" in front, but didn't say "that's the waste", so I guess my heart has changed.

But these are also my far-fetched attachments-but at least I guess based on the existing plot, rather than creating off-site information. Some people saw that the protagonist ended up in Shanghai and had to say that he was still laying bricks on the construction site or something. This is obviously an open ending, and it is too much to scold the plot.

The same thing happened in the movie My Sister. Obviously, this is an open ending. Obviously, there are many roads to choose from, but many people just come out to fight-they may all be trapped by traffic.

Of course, coupled with the training of the leading role group (certainly less than one year), it is a bit dreamy to get such a good noun in such a competition. This is really untrue. To some extent, the screenwriter arranged too many tool people from the beginning, especially the father of the protagonist. If his father hadn't fallen, with the talent of several protagonists, he could actually train a champion in three to five years, and then render a famous teacher a great apprentice and his hometown a big winner. This story is more logical. And to tell the truth, the accident of the protagonist's father, whether it is time, vague confession or misery loves company, is really routine and deliberate, which I don't like very much.

However, in fact, similar plots are found in many other movies, but they are selectively ignored. Almost all the routines of small transparent counterattack on campus will have similar plots, especially those that Hollywood likes. And like Kingsman, isn't the protagonist just trained in the secret service college for a few years and then went to perform world-class tasks? Why doesn't anyone say the same thing? Isn't it more dangerous and difficult for agents to fight mercenaries/private soldiers than to win a championship in Liwan, Guangzhou? Why is no one complaining at this time? There are too many similar plots, so I won't list them one by one.

As for the knowledge about lion dance, whether it is out of thin air or doing something wrong, if you don't understand it, you won't talk about it.

So in general, the lion boy, from the production point of view, music, art, action arrangement, story, can be regarded as a little bright. It is said that this is the best domestic animated film this year ... I don't know who its opponent is, but it may not be qualified-assuming it is the best of the year, then our situation is a bit bad-although it is also true. Generally speaking, the quality is acceptable. 10 It shouldn't be difficult to get a 7. If you want to be higher, maybe the director or screenwriter will have to work harder. Because I think the biggest problem is not the design or production of people, but the relatively weak story-too routine and too modular. Although the emotional rhythm is well arranged, it has no ability to save the script from being rotten.

Seriously, even if it is a good story, someone will take the bait; But no matter how good the production is, as long as the story is weak, it will be "good-looking" at best.

This is the case in the Marvel comic film that many people criticize. For example, although their stories are routine and have many bugs, they can at least pass the test, so they can be multiplied by excellent production. However, recent films have a bad reputation ("Shang Qi" and "Eternal Family"). After reading the general review, in addition to the off-site information such as insulting China and turning defeat into victory, the story also has great problems. Spider-Man 3 has gained a lot of people's feelings, but it has not avoided many flaws in the story, and it has also affected word of mouth-but at least the protagonist has stopped-and it should be similar to the lion boy.

In any case, I hope that domestic animation will polish the story and create more excellent works.
