Chapter 477 Emergency Off-screening

Earning foreign exchange and promoting tourism are actually just Shen Lang's efforts to reverse public opinion.

It’s not that he is not patriotic, but Shen Lang feels that this kind of last-minute "patriotism" is really embarrassing.

There is also Kobayashi Michiru. His behavior is indeed quite friendly to China, but he is a Japanese after all. He is friendly to China now, but what about in the future?
To put it bluntly, I, Shen Lang, was filming "Departures" just by chance, and the quality of this movie was really good, so I made the trip to Japan.

There are always some boring people who exaggerate all these things into national sentiment. To be honest, that's something only elementary school students would do.

Li An, you want to act like a primary school student and use your water army to mess with me?
Then I will show you what a real primary school student is.

On the day when "Lust, Caution" was released, the attendance rate was still very good.

Li An's reputation, coupled with the various conflicts with Shen Lang in recent times, has made this film a hot topic.

Shen Lang also bought a ticket to watch the movie.

To be honest, Li An’s reputation as an Oscar-level director is certainly not undeserved.

And the actors are also amazing.

Without exaggeration or understatement, the performance of Liang Chaowei and Tang Wei in this drama can be said to be a classic that can never be learned in a lifetime.

Take a simple example.

Drinking in the bar and singing the song "Song Girl from the End of the World".

At the beginning of the scene, Wang Jiazhi was standing at the door and Mr. Yi was sitting in the room with the door open.

There was a detail at that time, Mr. Yi covered his face.

Reverse shot, it turns out that Japanese troops appeared in the background.

A small detail shows that the big traitor Mr. Yi is not having an easy life.

Wang Jiazhi saw Mr. Yi's predicament at this time, so she gently closed the door, with the intention of protecting Mr. Yi from the wind and rain.

The camera cuts back and Mr. Yi looks at Wang Jiazhi. There is some embarrassment, some pity and helplessness, as well as some gratitude for Wang Jiazhi's thoughtfulness in his eyes.

When Shen Lang saw this scene of Liang Chaowei in the cinema, it was like seeing a poor puppy.

Please note that this is not an insult, but a compliment.

Many people are scolding Liang Chaowei, saying that he acts the same as he did two years ago and always has a dead look on his face.

People who say this don't know that Liang Chaowei's acting skills are not in his face, but in his eyes.

He is the best actor in the Chinese-speaking world at acting with his eyes, so good at it that he no longer needs to use facial expressions to act.

This scene, the one at the beginning, is just a small display of Li An's ability and acting ability.

Next, Wang Jiazhi's song "Song Girl of the End of the World" is used to progress the spatial structure layer by layer. The emotions in the song and the emotions between the two people gradually deepen. The two can be called a textbook fusion.

In addition to this segment, there are also mahjong scenes interspersed throughout the play.

In these scenes, the position of each person sitting and the angle of the camera are all Li An using the language of the camera to express some character relationships that he does not want to elaborate on in the movie.

For example, in the first mahjong scene, the mahjong is made of old-fashioned bamboo surface and ivory on the front. From the side, you can see that the mahjong is made of mortise and tenon structure, and it is very expensive.

At the beginning of the scene, Mrs. Ma congratulated Mrs. Liang:

"Congratulations Mr. Liang on your promotion!"

Mrs. Liang replied:

"What a great official! He's just in charge of rice!"

Mrs. Ma smiled:
"Nowadays, managing food is more important than managing the treasury!" Considering the time when the story in the movie takes place, there was a great famine in Henan that year and food was in short supply across the country. At that time, managing food was indeed much more important than managing gold.

After saying this, Mrs. Liang looked at Mrs. Yi, and Mrs. Yi also looked at Mrs. Liang. Combining the looks of these two people, it is not difficult to guess that Mr. Liang's position was given by Mr. Yi, so naturally Mrs. Liang is Mrs. Yi's younger sister.

Mrs. Ma knew about their relationship, so she said: You just need to listen to Mrs. Yi.

These are the details, so detailed that sometimes the audience doesn’t even notice them when watching it for the first time.

But when I look back, I am surprised that a game of mahjong can reveal so many things.

However, in order to allow the film to be released in mainland China, the producers still deleted a large number of nude scenes.

To be honest, in Shen Lang's opinion, this is quite a pity.

Because of several passionate scenes, the director's real purpose was not to make a pornographic film.

Li An really wanted to use the most primitive "in-depth" communication method of human beings to tell the emotional changes between Wang Jiazhi and Mr. Yi.

but……………………………………

No matter what you say, there must always be a "but".

This movie completely exposes what kind of person Li An is.

On the surface, anyone who meets Li An will be bewitched by his gentle, kind, and harmless appearance.

But Shen Lang knew that he was definitely a very dark and rebellious alternative.

"Eat Drink Man Woman" uses an illicit love affair between people of different ages to rebel against traditional love and family affection.

"Brokeback Mountain" uses the story of a homosexual couple to rebel against secular love between men and women.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" uses the entanglement between Yu Jiaolong and Li Mubai to complete the rebellion against Confucian ethics and the code of conduct in the underworld.

"Life of Pi" uses a cruel story of relatives devouring each other to rebel against the bottom line of human morality.

"Lust, Caution"!
hum!

Li An's rebellion this time went too far.

The movie was aired not long ago.

Wu Qing, the editor-in-chief of Sohu Entertainment, asked questions questioning the movie Lust, Caution overnight.

No matter how detailed and excellent some people say this movie is, the result is that the more they sleep, the more excited they become, and the more affectionate they become. The physical relationship was intended to be a fulcrum for artistic expression, but it became the core of the development of the relationship. Wang Jiazhi sacrificed for love, and it seemed like she sacrificed for sex. Mr. Yi said that he was very sorry but also helpless, and it became a sad and beautiful story.

Not to mention the meticulousness that Li An is often praised for, 80% of which has always been reflected in the narrative and text. The remaining 20%, the audio-visual language, is also the most lacking in imagination, insight, shallowness, and mediocrity among the first-tier Chinese-speaking directors.

Ang Lee has observed human nature and life in detail throughout his career, which is his strength. But he is ultimately an observer rather than an experiencer, an avoider rather than a facer, which limits his artistic expression. Even with this adaptation, he probably would not be able to accept this ending, which is why he behaved in the way the questioner mentioned.

If Wu Qing's comments still gave the famous director Li An some face.

But the answer given by Uncle Kong, oh no, Kong Hui, the former president of the Imperial Capital Film Academy, chairman of the China Film Association, secretary-general of the China Screenwriters Association, and president of the China Television Artists Association, hit the nail on the head for Li An.

"This movie is about a woman who can abandon everything for love, including politics, faith, body, soul, and eventually lose her life, while a man only feels sad for a moment when he recalls this woman."

"Because of a little affection for Kuang Yumin, she devoted herself to the revolution. And because of a little trance with Mr. Yi, she betrayed the revolution. She resolutely sacrificed herself to the feelings of the moment, without thinking about the consequences that followed."

"Such values ​​are a betrayal of existing values! I suggest that the relevant departments should step up their censorship of this film!"

"Don't let the poison spread far and wide, or you will regret it endlessly!"

the next day!
"Lust, Caution" was urgently taken off the screen!
