Only Starlight

The National Day every year is when the movies get together, and this year is no exception. From September 28 to the National Day file officially opened, a total of 17 films are fighting for the box office, including two Hollywood imported films. The selection of "Liar" landed on the major theaters of the country on October 1st. It is undoubtedly under great pressure. Fortunately, Du Wenhan and Fan Sijun have enough seats. Jiang Yi has just become a hot topic and has attracted countless attention from the beginning.

On the other hand, with the "Silk Song" three years ago, Zuo Jiahao accumulated a group of loyal fans on the mainland, and everyone is looking forward to his new work. After the trailer of "Liar" was released, its excellent texture and suspenseful plot design also triggered a wave of retweets on Weibo. Many people called it the most anticipated movie in the second half of the year.

As a result, when the vague smoke between the two male protagonists passed on to the melon-eating crowd, many people were surprised. Du Wenhan devalued Jiang Yi's position and contribution in the film, and even felt that he was dispensable. In the trailer, Jiang Yi did not have many shots. Is it because the performance is so bad that it was cut off?

I have to say that Du Wenhan's provocation helped the movie indirectly. Many people were curious about whether Jiang Yi's performance was as bad as Du Wenhan said. His acting in a TV series is a good performance with a lot of words. Could it be that it is not effective to change to a movie?

Will he be the one who trails in this film?

With all kinds of doubts, many people sat in the cinema, and even some people were talking before the opening, which caused the dissatisfaction of the front row audience.

The girl coughed loudly and said seriously: "I want to start, don't talk?"

The two people in discussion were baffled, but still shut up.

Lai Xiaoshuang had no choice but to help her, "If you do this again, I will avoid you, and I don't want to be beaten by the cinema crowd."

Jian Wei, who had just used a cough to domineering, pouted, "I don't like to listen to what they say."

Today is the first day of the release of "Liar". She dragged Lai Xiaoshuang to watch it early in the morning. Before the premiere, Li Jiangyi wanted to ask her to go with her, but Jane only had an experiment to do and couldn't get away, so she had to wait today Come again. Of course, she also knew about these disputes, and was very annoyed by Du Wenhan's move, and became more worried about the situation of the movie. Although in view of her on-site observation, Jiang Yi's performance is very good, but who knows whether Du Wenhan has used any villain means? He wanted to delete Jiang Yi's play at that time!

Jian Wei asked: "Xiao Shuang, haven't you seen the movie?"

"No, I worked overtime on the day of the premiere. Where can I see it. Didn't your male **** watch it? How did he not tell you?"

Jian Wei flat mouth. This is the place where Jiang Yi is irritated. Knowing that Jane is worried, she would rather tell her what the film is like, as the name says: "I can't influence your filming experience by subjectivity first."

If you do n’t say it, you have to add a sentence, “But you ’re mentally prepared, do n’t be too surprised after reading it.”

Surprised, surprised what you said clearly!

Lai Xiaoshuang was gloating, and Jian Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, clenching his fists and said, "No matter what. If I perform well, I will blow hard, and if I don't perform well, I will close my eyes and blow. Who is not a fan?

With this powerful clang, the theater went dark and lit up again, and "Liar" unveiled its mystery.

The first shot is the interrogation room.

A narrow, dimly lit interrogation room, a man in his thirties with a calm temperament sat in a chair. He seemed calm, but he took his hand and pulled off his tie while he was not paying attention.

This is Gao Hong played by Du Wenhan.

The camera shakes slightly, suggesting that the character is uneasy.

A voiceover asked: "Where were you on January 24?"

Gao Hong thought for a while, "I'm at home. It was a weekend, I didn't have to go to work, I was at home all day."

The picture blacked out, and then lit up again. It was still the interrogation room. This time, Fan Sijun, with red lips and arrogant expression, was sitting on the chair.

The voice asked, "Where are you on January 24?"

Fan Sijun didn't blink an eye, "with my fiance."

"Did you meet the deceased that day?"

"No."

The picture blacked out for the second time, and when it lit up this time, Jiang Yi appeared.

Jane was ready, but when he suddenly saw his face magnified dozens of times, he was still shocked. This was the first time she saw Jiang Yi on the big screen. On the one-story screen, every expression of his face was vivid.

Jiang Yi was wearing a white shirt and sitting in the interrogation chair. Unlike the two people in front of him, he was sitting more quietly. His expression was neither cold nor enthusiastic, as if he had nothing to do with himself. The hair is a little long, hanging down the forehead, and when looking up slightly, a pair of eyes are as dark as a cold star, and the sword passes through the huge screen.

Jane only breathed a little short of time.

"Did you meet the dead that day?"

"No."

"Then have you met Bai Yue?"

"nor."

That voice asked Du Wenhan, "Did you meet Xu Ran on January 24?"

"No."

The voice said to Fan Sijun: "But we have evidence here that on January 24 this year, the day the deceased was killed, you not only met, but also met the deceased. Just where he was killed Building. "

"So, who is lying?"

The screen blacked out for the third time, and three large white characters appeared on the screen-liar.

The movie officially started.

As a suspense drama, in fact, "Liar" has been questioned during the filming process, because this type has always been a weak link in domestic films. Nowadays, major directors are more and more fond of tricks and tricks, but they often fail to tell a basic story. Many failed suspense films have proved this point. As netizens said, "There is suspense, there is doubt. Suspense? Sorry, I didn't see it."

But "Liar" is not like this. The movie has been focused on people's hearts from the beginning and used a murder case to elicit the plot. Through the following explanations, the audience quickly understood that the first interrogation occurred because a mysterious corpse occurred in a chemical university in the city. After investigation, the police identified three criminal suspects, Gao Hong, a distinguished and successful career professor of chemistry, his poor but beautiful fiancee, Bai Yue, and Xu Ran, a second-year student in the chemistry department.

The story revolves around these three people.

The only thing that Jane started to think about was thinking about it, unconsciously, completely immersed in the plot. For a moment, she even forgot her personal feelings for several actors and only remembered their roles.

Professor Gao Hong, played by Du Wenhan, was born in a famous family. His life was smooth, but his wife died unexpectedly. He couldn't accept the departure of his lover, and he couldn't get out of his feelings until he met Bai Yue. The beautiful and understanding woman seemed like a dream too sweet, soothing his lonely and painful heart. The drowning man finally got a gasp, and he did n’t want to be dragged back into the boundless darkness, so even if he did n’t love her, he wanted to be with her, just not to wake up from the nightmare in the middle of the night.

He thought he could control her, but gradually, he found that his seemingly innocent fiancee was hiding many unknown secrets.

Part of the reason why the movie is called a "liar" is that one-third of its content occurs in the interrogation room. Taking the interrogation as the framework, the process is intertwined to describe what happened before and after the case, pulling the cocoon and looking for the truth. This mode is still relatively rare in domestic movies, and the interrogation scene is also very exciting. Whether it is the questioner or the different answers of the three suspects, a lot of psychological knowledge is used, and the move is not used.

That is, during this trick, two reversals of the real murderer were achieved. At the beginning, the focus was on Du Wenhan, who made the audience think that he was murdered through many messages. But soon, the new information overturned this assertion, and the story focused on Jiang Yi and Fan Sijun.

Or, Xu Ran and Bai Yue.

The murderer's son, solitary, grew up bullied in the town. As I grew up, the only warmth I felt came from my neighbor's sister.

She was his white moonlight, hanging high in the air, he loved her almost piously, and even the moonlight hit him, fearing that she would be defiled.

Jiang Yi interpreted Xu Ran ’s two states to the fullest. The eccentric and lonely boy had ruthless and murderous sight in his eyes. Because someone else humiliated, he rushed up to fight against human life. Is fiercely determined. But when he faced Bai Yue, he became a good little wolf dog. He would flush his face because he accidentally saw her changing underwear, he would awkwardly make her the glutinous rice lotus that she likes to eat, he would secretly reach out when she was invisible, but he would not dare to touch her hair.

He wanted to protect her and keep her pure and flawless forever, but she left the town where they grew up and became another person.

In order to get rid of the poor background, she got into trouble one after another. She was too self-willed. Beautiful women are always easy-going, but she demanded too much, and eventually got herself to the point of no return.

So she had to find the person who loved her most in this world.

The story is here, as if everything is falling out of the way, Xu Ran killed the man holding her handle in order to protect Bai Yue. Jian Wei thinks so, but feels that if this is the case, the story is somewhat surprising.

Almost at the same time this idea came out, the painting style turned sharply, and there was a rapid siren sound. The police said that a student of the University of Chemical Technology had fallen into the building and was injected with deadly chemicals before his death.

That man's name is Xu Ran.

Jane was stunned and didn't understand the situation, but saw the picture turned black and white, like playing a video from the past. The incident in the lower right corner of the screen was written word by word. Time: January 24.

Therefore, as mentioned at the beginning of the film, the person who died on January 24 was Xu Ran.

The interrogation footage actually came from two different cases. The movie killed two people in total. The found mysterious corpse was a man who threatened Bai Yue, but Xu Ran was killed on January 24.

Xu Ran was interrogated as the first suspect in the murder case, but Bai Yue and Gao Hong were the suspects who killed him. The director misleads the audience through the mixing of editing and information. This is trying the same case. In fact, it has been narrating on a different timeline from the beginning. It was not until this moment that it really came together.

Xu Ran died long before the story began.

Jian Wei saw that the police found his body. Outside the experiment building, he fell from the rooftop and bleeds all over the place. The cordon was tightly enclosed, still unable to block the crowd, and the world was full of noise. He lay on his back on the ground, his eyes wide open, as if he were dead, as if he was just looking at the top of the building.

In the interrogation room.

Gao Hong and Bai Yue were caught off guard by sudden evidence. Surveillance showed that they had entered and exited the building before and after Xu Ran's fall. The poisonous chemicals that Xu Ran injected also came from Gao Hong's laboratory. The police became more and more stern and forced to ask whether to kill or kill their mouths. Their emotions were on the verge of collapse. They could not prove that they had lied at first, but they did not want to ignite themselves, and they did not understand why Xu Ran had Gao Hong's experimental drugs.

At the most desperate moment, Bai Yue remembered what he had said when he asked Xu Ran.

"Sister Yue, I am the son of a murderer. I know better than anyone that doing something wrong has to pay."

The handsome young boy caressed her face, her eyes seeming pity and compassion.

He helped her kill someone. he died.

Now, is it her turn to pay the price?

Bai Yue closed her eyes and admitted her fate.

Just when she thought she would be charged with murder and spent the rest of her life in prison, the case turned again.

The police received a suicide note sent by Xu Ran during his lifetime, proving that he committed suicide, and the drug was injected himself. At the same time, he admitted to committing the previous murder case, provided all the evidence, and claimed that it had nothing to do with anyone.

After the appraisal of the suicide note by experts, there was no falsification, and Bai Yue and Gao Hong's charges were scrubbed.

The two were acquitted, and Gao Hong thought of the past few months, only to feel as if they were separated. He wanted to go to Baiyue again, but his face changed greatly after receiving a call.

When Gao Hong rushed to the roof, Bai Yue was already standing on it, his clothes were thin, and his long hair was messed up by the wind.

She said, "I did something wrong."

Gao Hong looked pale, "You come down. No matter what you want to do, come down first!"

Bai Yue shook his head, "I did something wrong. Xu Ran said that doing something wrong will cost you money."

She couldn't forget the letter.

She thought he hated her. After being deceived by her and killing her, she thought he hated her. But in the end, he was still protecting her.

Like waking up from a nightmare, she was shocked by what she had done.

She looked at Gao Hong.

At this moment, he was no longer the nobleman she wanted to seize, and she was no longer the life-saving straw he used to get rid of his dead wife.

They never fell in love. In fact, they shouldn't be together from the beginning.

She smiled softly, "You did something wrong, didn't you?"

Gao Hong hadn't reacted yet. She had jumped and jumped.

The picture suddenly dimmed. I ca n’t see anything. I can only hear crying, sirens, and rain. So noisy, so noisy.

Then again, these are gone, everything is quiet.

When the screen lighted up again, it was a blue sky, Baiyun was in large groups, and the teenager stood on the rooftop.

it's very windy.

The tone of the whole film is serious, the picture is dark, and the sky is always gloomy, just like the mood of the characters. Only in this scene, Xu Ran stood on the rooftop where he had murdered, and smiled slowly at Baiyue and Gao Hong who heard the news, and the sunlight shone through him through the clouds. At this moment, all the sins once seemed to be washed away. He stood in a soft light, his white clothes were clean, and he was not stained with dust.

There is no Baiyue in the picture, but the audience soon understands that this shot is Baiyue's subjective perspective. It was the picture she had seen.

Xu Ran stared at her, so gentle, just like when she was a child, she treated him so gently. Together. From beginning to end, there is only this one. "

Bai Yue did not answer.

"I promised to never lie to you."

He gave her a last look, opened his arms, and fell back a little bit. There was an endless sky above his head. When he fell, his shirt turned over, like a big white bird, and his wings swayed by the wind.

The camera jerked forward, and Bai Yue rushed to the railing.

The picture kept shaking, and there were repressed crying.

Xu Ran was lying in the pool of blood, shattered and shattered, but still stubbornly looked at the sky and looked at her.

It seemed to guess that she was watching him too, and he bent the corner of his mouth.

Very light, but smiled strangely.

Before he died, he said that he wanted to be with her forever.

This is his only wish.

He did it.

At the end of the film, the ending song sounded, and the lights were on, but Jane hadn't been able to recover for a long time.

Her face was a little wet, and she wiped a handful of tears, and she quickly pulled out a tissue. Jiang Yi's picture of falling from the roof continued to appear in her mind. She never thought that this story would be like this, which was completely different from what she thought at first.

In the end, Xu Ran ’s smile had so many deep meanings that she could n’t help but think about it. He did so much for Baiyue, did he want to protect her, or did he want to get her in another way?

As he said, let her belong to him forever ...

The more she wanted, the more creepy she was, tapping her forehead to make herself awake. But in any case, this is a wonderful story.

Turning her head to discuss with Lai Xiaoshuang, she found that she frowned slightly and looked a little serious. Jane groaned, "What's wrong? Do you think ... not good?"

It shouldn't be. Although it is difficult to view the film completely objectively from her standpoint, the difference between 0 points and 100 points can be produced by normal people. This film is not as good as she feels, at least not bad!

Lai Xiaoshuang shook her head, "The film is good, but you didn't realize that Jiang Yi's part is too much?"

Yes, Jiang Yi's drama is not a bit much, but much more than expected.

Although Jian Wei has not read the script, she also knows that according to the original idea, Du Wenhan should have the most plays. But the final version became Jiang Yi and Du Wenhan's equal parts, and Fan Sijun was slightly inferior to the two. Due to the relationship between the plot and the role, Jiang Yi's line is more core and more attractive than Du Wenhan.

With this sort of thing, it is more like a double male film. If you have to choose a man, it is not Du Wenhan, but Jiang Yi.

Jian Wei froze for a moment, "Yes, what's going on?"

"The problem of editing, editing. I seem to have heard that this editing was done by director Zuo Jiahao personally, without asking the editor. It seems that after seeing the two people's play, many new ideas come up At first, Ming Brother was worried about this ... "

Post-editing is equivalent to re-creating once. Sometimes, it can even change the structure of the entire movie. Although there are not many such examples, they are always there, so He Fangming will be worried.

Lai Xiaoshuang stunned: "I thought it would be Jiang Yi who was cut, and the result ..."

Jian Wei: "As a result, Jiang Yi was not cut, but Du Wenhan was cut ?!"
