1905 movie network news A crime suspense film directed by the cutting-edge director Dong Yue and starring Duan Long and Jiang Yiyan was released nationwide today (November 17th). This excellent Chinese crime film, which won the "Best Art Contribution Award" and "Best Actor Award" at this year’s Tokyo International Film Festival, has been warmly welcomed by audiences all over the country since it returned to China to carry out roadshows, and its reputation has soared. Not only that, many big movie makers in the industry also volunteered to speak for this unique domestic crime movie.
Clear, cold, true and calm are the high-frequency words in the harvest evaluation of this "coldest crime film" Some critics say that "Blizzard is Coming" can completely lift the tripod of domestic suspense, with a four-star start and five-star praise "and" it is the best domestic crime movie this year ". There are also fans who said that "Blizzard is Coming" is a question to the times. What kind of torture does Blizzard Coming pose to the times, and how cold is the "coldest crime"? Let’s reveal it together!
The first question: "What happened this winter?" — — A perverted murder case under continuous ice and rain
The story background of the film "Blizzard Coming" is the winter of an industrial town in the south of China in 1997. The blizzard that has been broadcast in the weather forecast did not come, but instead came continuous ice rain and a terrible serial murder case — — Four female deceased, their tops were pushed to the breasts, and they were stabbed dozens of times. Lao Zhang (Du Yuan), the criminal police captain in charge of the case, asks at the beginning of the film, "What happened this winter? So much rain. " This is the first question put forward in the movie Blizzard is Coming. Although the question is about winter and rain, it points to this cruel case and who is the real murderer behind it.
The continuous freezing and rainy winter and the intractable serial murders of abnormal conditions laid the keynote of the crime story and the cold and cold atmosphere of Blizzard Coming, which made people "shudder".
The second question: "What on earth are you doing this for?" — — The fate of little people in the cold age
The story of "Blizzard is Coming" revolves around the protagonist Guowei Yu, a security chief of a state-owned factory, who is called "Yu Shen Detective" by his workmates because he "will break every thief". And his heart, eager for honor, eager for identity, eager to enter the police station within the system and become a real "detective." To this end, in the face of this unsolved serial murder, he can’t wait to show his "detective" skill, even at the expense of his beloved woman Yanzi (Jiang Yiyan) as bait. However, in the end, he not only lost his beloved woman, but also possessed himself, killed the innocent "suspect" and went to jail. When he was released from prison 10 years later, he realized that it was all in vain.
Guowei Yu’s "nobody" setting and futile ending set off the tide of reform in China in 1990s. Guowei Yu’s eager desire for "system" and "honor" may be the epitome of any ordinary person 30 years ago. And the "laid-off tide" brought by the reform has pushed him to the extreme of desire and made him out of control. The fate and futile ending of the little people under the impact of the times are "chilling."
The third question: "What results do you want?" — — The approaching "blizzard" will eventually come.
The title of the film "Blizzard is Coming" reveals that the endless ice rain is just a prelude to "Blizzard". There are finally two snows in the film, both of which are related to the protagonist Guowei Yu. In 1997, Guowei Yu won the glory of model workers, and in 2008, after Lao Yu was released from prison. "Snow" plays a symbolic role in movies — — The "snow" in 1997 fell at the wrong time and place, while the "snow" in 2008 drifted in at the wrong time. This interweaving of reality and expectation brings a strong sense of absurdity and debunks what people think of as "truth" and "reality".
Two meaningful "snows" added a "coolness" to the film "Blizzard is Coming", which confirmed the title of "the coldest crime film".
Other questions: Why did Duan Long win the Tokyo Best Actor for this film? — — Mutual achievement with "coldest crime"
With this "coldest crime film" Blizzard Coming, Duan Long won the Best Actor at the 30th Tokyo Film Festival, becoming the only "3A Best Actor" in China. The real texture he brought to the role of Guowei Yu — — From time to time, he pulled the leather jacket that jumped up, walked in an ostentatious manner, and tried his best to please "How can I cooperate with you?" He played "live" this little guy in the 1990s and verified his strength as an actor. The role of "Lao Yu" also brought him ample performance space. Duan Long even revealed that he didn’t step out of the role at the moment when the film was finished. He said, "At that time, the director was very happy to clap me and say that the film was finished, but I didn’t respond and was not excited at all. Maybe I really forgot, but that is the state of’ Lao Yu’. How excited I can be after sitting in prison for ten years, so at that moment I believe that’ Lao Yu’ has grown on me and I have made progress. "
The audience said: the unique "coldest" temperament received rave reviews — — What is "cold" is the film, and what is "hot" is the word of mouth.
Reed: The film is a mixture of suspense, black and criminal types, and the overall quality can stand.
Xin Yukun: It’s not easy to play in the rain. It’s brilliant. The damp, cloudy and cold texture makes people suffocate.
He Caitou: A poem by Zhang Zao was made into a movie, "As long as you think of things you regret in your life, plum blossoms will fall all over Nanshan."
Shi Hang: Director Dong Yue hides a lot of wrinkles in his narrative. As time goes by, the protagonist comes back to smooth these wrinkles after finishing some time, which makes you suddenly realize. The overall texture, color and sense of time are all right, industrial and cold, just like watching a finely crafted meticulous sketch.
Netizen @ Mu Feng meets Zhou Xingxing: It’s not only a crime suspense film, but also the poetry of the times of ordinary people in the 1990s.
Netizen @ yuming: It’s not easy to shoot the years well. I feel the sense of the situation that a generation of "workers" have been abandoned by the times. Not needed by the case, the system, and the lover. Teacher Duan recovered this, longing, regret, madness and helplessness. What was he thinking when the snow fell?
The founder said: the little people and the big era under the criminal package — — "I hope the audience will think and understand."
Director Dong Yue: "Blizzard is Coming" originated from a group of old photos of "forgotten corners" I saw a few years ago, which made me want to write a story in the 1990s. Continuous rain, approaching snow and vigorous steel all exude a cold feeling, which is the temperature of that turbulent era. I hope the audience can think and try to understand what the movie is about.
Duan Long: For me, Blizzard is coming is the result of "willful" choice. The new director’s debut, the sense of the last century, and the amateur detective … … Everything is full of challenges. The sense of insecurity and struggle in this character made me discover my infinite possibilities.
Jiang Yiyan: I was attracted by the role of "Swallow" when I read the script outline. She has real expectations for love and a bright future. When she learned the truth, her whole world completely collapsed. That kind of despair permeating from my bones makes me as a role player still have a lingering fear. I really feel bad about such a "swallow".
The coldest crime film "Blizzard is Coming" was produced by Cao Baoping, the master of crime film jointly produced by Hehe Film Co., Ltd., directed by Dong Yue, a cutting-edge director, and starring Duan Long and Jiang Yiyan. It was released nationwide today (November 17th).
