"Will Love": Zhang Bai's success and the choice of Chinese films ' Road

"Will love" poster read "will Love", a friend said Zhang a white very clever, I told her this is not a general smart or clever, but great wisdom, equal to the faithful, pragmatic and practical. Zhang Bai is not a shallow ignorant person, if official repair "sixth generation director" Inside still can contain his name, then, compared with most of the sixth generation directors of the Times, Zhang Bai is a unique alternative, he is not engrossed in aesthetic form, social significance, philosophical thinking, political interpretation and other masters of the topic, his works are always relatively shallow, Low。 Debut for many years, a white immersed in research, is the lens language, picture atmosphere, camera seat, performance angle, narrative training and other film creation basic technology.　　It may seem strange that most Chinese directors do not value the training of film technology and believe that a certain idea, a certain thought, a topic or a gesture can produce a successful film. Can imagine a country's director, gifted most of the good to the depth, absurd, critical, human nature, animal and other kinds of false, gifted poor to make a remake, copying, pushing new dust, to be complacent, to go backwards, to get money, the country's film can walk to? 2010 is the worst year of Chinese film in the new Century, and most films are not even as much as the most barren Cultural Revolution era. Ignore the foundation of the building must not be long, not to water fertilization and pest-killing crops, also can not bear good fruit, these reasons we all know, but can practice few people.　　At this time Zhang Bai with "will love" the sudden appearance, let the eyes of countless viewers, the second decade of the new century, whether it will be the "golden Age" of Chinese films we have not known, but because of "love", many years later, we may occasionally repeat that the beginning of the second Decade is very good. "Love" with three incoherent love stories, to show the emotional clutch between men and women, the foolish Man Yuannv fate, recall the feelings of the past, and the continuation of the current story, the film can do the story moving plot twists and turns, this is not difficult, the difficulty is Zhang Bai in a film, showing a different style of film, And each style can be a good win, each style can be a mastery of Chinese society in the current reality, and to recreate the new film style, which in China's many directors, is unique.　　As a result, we have to return to the film director's basic skills, although "will love" not to "the Soul Broken Bridge" "The Bridge of the Dream" as the classic, but Zhang Bai is benefited from many years of technical training, only to show the Chinese audience a commendable love masterpiece, if 100 is full marks, Zhang Bai can get 80 points. In the first part, couples who have been married for many years suffer from a crisis of indifference, and a white reference to the Korean film style. The Black-and-white color of the bright film picture, pompous lens and fairy tale color, gorgeous costumes and luxury cars, super mansion, and so on, even the Yapeng, sexy and seductive Xu Lei's foot-thin belt high heel and Haismi leg, there are the Korean popular urban movie flavor. Of course, this Korean style is only the fur of the packaging, not like the Korean film that pompous unrealistic, although there are fairy tales of color, there is pretending to still the lens, and even the actual scene and animation to combine the attempt, the narrative is not a Chinese-style straightforward, but sandwiched folder, hidden Mystery Bureau, but the spirit of infiltration inside is Chinese-style,　　Although men and women have been indifferent, still reluctant to feelings, pretending nothing of the Cold War, the helpless police, friends of the funny encounter, selling women's gag, all highlight the unique temperament of China. The second part, the lovers who parted for many years were reunited by the reunion Zhang Bai reference the East Asian countries of excellent films, this time is no longer a reference to the Korean film packaging, but deep into the core, and the core of East Asian film, whether it is China, North Korea or Japan, South Korea, artistic Oriental features are obvious. Once the first lover of their marriage unfortunately, the students at the party two people met by chance, this is the story of the film, Toast and the truth of the Big Adventure, the mainland and Taiwan's secular atmosphere, and to the same room, stripping out the "sit" effect, deliberately jump to create the voice of sexual intercourse between men and women, living is the essence of Hong Kong film. The embarrassing, the sudden rain, the sons of the funny, automatic vending machine kick ruthless beat, is the fusion of Japanese and Korean comedy and Chinese comedy, until the car sex, hotel rounds, washing machines make the sea sound, report neuropathy so that aircraft downtime, but also to the film effect to the peak. Police interrogation, Xu Lei and ex-husband's tussle, the airport dialogue, is a living domestic film flavor. Domestic film is not not to shoot well, but most of our film workers quality too bad, mechanically, behind closed doors, can only produce fake rotten empty things.　　The new century's urban love movies can be compared with the second part of "Love" is only a "good rain season", but it is South Korea's Hur directed, the rest of the urban film "Alone Waiting", "green tea", "The Summer Palace," and so on, the attitude is still not enough natural, details are not vivid. The third part, the Long-lost lovers in the foreign reunion, but faced with the plight of a woman encounter, this part of a white reference to Western films, especially Hollywood films and Hitchcock's suspense film, and Chinese film performance methods were blended, before, It seems that only individual directors such as Zhang Yimou have tried to unify the east-west narrative style. Zhang Yibai in the third part of the narrative, surface look, is a three aggravating causes women and once lover's lost and compound, the foundation inside is the western and suspense piece of the shot method. The context of Westerns is that a man gets a call from a woman he's been looking for for years, immediately to see her, and her to deal with another female enemy, and let the enemy go smoothly, men and women decided to run together, the villain finally appeared, the man lost to the villain, lose the woman and forced to leave, but he left behind the secret weapon, Finally defeated the villain, the woman went all the way to find the man. The thread of suspense is that men suddenly receive a mysterious electricity from their first lover, and decided to look for her, but met a woman at the airport. and women received a naïve girl, women and girls for women's husband and wits play ruthless, and even possible homicide, fortunately, the girl's mystery quickly uncovered, and the woman's husband after the big change magic and singing, let the man opened the woman phone Mystery Bureau, The man then mysteriously left, leaving the mobile phone but revealed that men for many years as a fan of life.　　Zhang Bai not only the western and suspense film, but also with the Western lens language, China's performance methods have been transformed, actor performance and scene convergence looks more natural and skillful. "Will love" of the three stories, the first part of the audience group is relatively broad, the audience to appreciate the level of light, the film's fashion, recreational requirements higher. The second part of the audience to the Chinese region, mainly to take a level of moving comedy, the details can make people laugh in tears, physical and mental infection and purification, the audience appreciation of the relatively enhanced levels. The third part is in fact a white to own film ability of a test, is also the Chinese film narrative style and the lens art of a bold attempt, the mainland audience will feel the film gimmick is very novel, the movie story is very good-looking, but the foreign audience accepts "will love" the threshold will be greatly reduced, the foreign market may have certain acts.　　With three stories in one white, layers of gradual, shallow, different levels of appreciation of the audience can find their own expectations in the "Love", the protagonist of the three story, belong to the rich class, the poor class and middle class, also meet the needs of the social layers of the film. Actor performance, Zhang Bai Li Yapeng and Xu, is undoubtedly a very correct choice. Xu Jing performed exactly three women in different stories, and the costumes and makeup of the film were excellent, Lao Xu are very feminine charm, professional outfit and sports outfit foil out of sexy capable, bare lower body and Hessgau with the temptation to break through the previous screen image, especially in the second story of the performance, kicking and selling sets of machines, In the car sex, with ex-husband and other paragraphs, can be called genius. Yapeng's vicissitudes of taste have been best played, eyes, expression, action are harmonizing, shaping a tiegu, tenderness of the screen tough man, in the past, the Chinese film, there is still a lack of such a classic image, Yapeng can be called China's Takakura, especially hope that he can play several films, do not let talent buried.　　The filmmakers are also very attentive, the lens and the performance of the actors combined, especially in the third part of the outstanding performance. Especially worth mentioning is the movie to the ordinary people's love interview, those about the love language not only is very strong, also to the movie different story's transfer plays the cushion function, and deepens the audience to the plot understanding and the infection. Of course, gold without pure, if "will love" the first part of the mirror language more level, the story foreshadowing more reasonable, not only to do the concept, the story can also be very solid. The pace of the overall film in some places is not compact enough, such as Faye Wong and Eason, although the episode is very good, but do not have to put several times. "Love" as a mainValentine's Day movies, there is also a tendency to be deliberately pleasing to the audience, of course, Zhang Bai has also done more to change the concept of the audience's work, if the future of domestic films can be "Love" as a standard, from pleasing the audience taste into the development and guidance of audience preferences, then "Love" this film, Success is not just the box office and Word-of-mouth, but also may get a better harvest.
