The movie ended.
The bosses were not in a hurry to leave after all. Instead, they discussed the plot of the movie.
They also wanted to know if this movie, Boss Pei's final trump card, could really achieve a decisive effect?
Nie Yunsheng said doubtfully, "This movie is indeed not bad, but it seems to be still some way from winning the Golden Lion."
"Are you saying that there are really no strong competitors at the Venice Film Festival this year, which is why this movie picked up the slack?"
Lu Xiaoping shook his head slightly. "Indeed, there are no strong competitors, but the quality of this movie cannot be underestimated."
"I might not have been able to analyze this movie in detail, but from my first experience, this movie is indeed unique in many aspects. It's not surprising that it could obtain the approval of the judges. "
Nie Yunsheng was a little surprised. "Oh? Boss Lu, quickly tell us how this movie compares to 'Your Fortune'? "
Lu Xiaoping explained, "There are similarities between the two in terms of the theme. However, in terms of plot arrangement, one is biased towards the extreme while the other is biased towards the details."
Nie Yunsheng and the other bosses nodded one after another. Even people like them who did not know much about movies could see this.
'My Fortune' imagined a very extreme and bizarre scene. That was, one person controlled most of the wealth on the entire planet, even the air, water, and so on.
On the other hand, 'The Future You Chose' did not have such an extreme scene. All the plots still happened in a scene that looked extreme but seemed to be logical. Even gangsters could use all kinds of gray methods to rise. The entire world might be chaotic, but the ladder of ascension was not completely cut off.
Therefore, even though there were similarities in their themes, the final movie gave people a very different feeling.
Lu Xiaoping continued to explain, "I won't analyze the theme and deep meaning of the movie. This kind of content can only be summarized by watching the details of the movie repeatedly. "
"I'll just briefly talk about some of the techniques used in this movie."
"In my opinion, this movie has done a very good balance between business and art. He did it very straightforwardly in some aspects, such as using different light tones to show the difference between the characters. "
"As soon as the movie starts, the camera drops from the highest point to the lowest point. Those who are truly rich all live at the highest point. Not only is there plenty of sunlight, but even at night, they can see the most beautiful lights in the entire city. Living above the clouds is like living in a fairyland. "
"As the camera zoomed down, the audience saw the scene on the ground floor. Regardless of whether it was day or night, it was always dusky here. The layer of clouds blocked out the sunlight and lights. In a sense, the underworld has become a jungle society where the strong prey on the weak, falling into absolute chaos. "
"At the end of the movie, the camera zoomed in from the bottom to the top again, intensifying this feeling.
"In my opinion, the design of this cloud is very ingenious."
"These buildings look like they're reaching into the clouds. Although they're really tall, these clouds are actually erupting from the equipment in the middle of the buildings."
"Although the movie did not give a direct explanation, it can be guessed that the rich living on the upper floors did not want to see the chaotic and dirty scenes on the lower floors. They did not want to disturb their mood when looking at the scenery by the window, so they used the clouds to block it."
"The clouds can actually be seen as a means of isolation and monopoly. Because the people living on the upper floors of the buildings are the upper class of the entire society, they can use such blatant means to monopolize the sunlight obtained by the entire city. It's just like in 'My Property', where the rich monopolize the air. "
"When the protagonist played by Lu Zhiyao plotted to replace the young tycoon, he was clearly doing the most shady work, but he deliberately used a very bright light effect. After the protagonist replaced the tycoon, he took care of the tycoon's business, whitewashed his gang, and continued to obtain wealth. The entire atmosphere was very cheerful. "
"He even used solemn and elegant strings for the soundtrack."
"Such a soundtrack and lighting form a very sharp contrast with the cunning and insidious plot, creating an absurd effect."
"However, at the same time, it seemed to imply that for a poor person like the protagonist who climbed up at all costs, the factors such as right and wrong, good and evil in his eyes had been completely distorted. In order to climb to the highest point and embrace the sunlight, he had actually completely given up and even deliberately distorted his recognition of morality. "
"In addition, the movie also used a lot of montage techniques."
"For example, in the process of the protagonist's gang growth, montage was used to compare the protagonist's activities when he first joined the gang with those after joining the gang for a long time. The ugly things that the protagonist was originally not used to quickly became accustomed to."
"Through the beginning and the end, the intersection of the scenes highlighted the huge changes that had happened to the protagonist during this period of time. It also showed a sense of reincarnation. All the members of the gang would actually go through such a process. They would gradually turn from being childish and inexperienced when they first joined the gang into ruthless characters who would abandon morality and use unscrupulous means. "
"If it was told in the normal order, it would not be able to reflect this sense of reincarnation and destiny. It would also seem very dragging."
"In addition, the details of the movie were also done well. The various stages of the protagonist's life, the food he could obtain, and the clothes he wore were all compatible with his situation."
"For example, when he was a homeless person, after joining a gang, or after becoming a tycoon, the living environment and clothes of the protagonist changed."
"What's more, I have to sigh that Lu Zhiyao's acting skills are really strong."
"In fact, he played two roles, and one of the roles was even divided into two different stages."
"At the beginning, the poor protagonist fought with others at the bottom. Even though he killed people, he still had some perseverance inside. As his status in the gang became higher and higher, his character seemed to become more stable on the surface, but in fact, he had already given up his insistence on justice in his heart. "
"Not only did Lu Zhiyao have to act the feeling of the poor protagonist, but he also had to act the young tycoon well."
"This young tycoon had another personality. He was full of idealism and adventurism. He was full of enthusiasm and hope for life. In terms of fighting spirit, he seemed to have a lot in common with the poor protagonist. However, if one observed closely, they would find that the inner spirit of the two of them was completely different. "
"There was a detail in the movie. The rich protagonist and the poor protagonist both raised the same ornamental plant. However, the ornamental plant of the rich protagonist thrived because it was placed on the floor and could be exposed to the sun frequently. On the other hand, the plant of the poor protagonist was frequently sick. Its leaves were withered and half-dead, and it needed careful care to survive. "
"In other words, the different living environments determined that two people with the same adventurous and enterprising spirit would become two completely different people in the end."
"The most exciting part was that not only did Lu Zhiyao perform three personalities, but he also performed the constant changes between these three personalities very well."
"It even gave people an illusion that the poor protagonist and the rich protagonist only looked similar, but they were actually two different people inside."
"To be able to give such wonderful and complicated acting skills, he deserved to win the Best Actor Award."
Nie Yunsheng nodded slightly. "Indeed. There were a lot of details in this movie. If I hadn't heard you say that, I really wouldn't have been able to see it. I just felt that it felt very smooth and natural. "
"What I was more concerned about was the small stone on the protagonist's chest. It had a symbolic meaning."
"First, the homeless man mistook the stone for something valuable and robbed him. Then, he accidentally killed the homeless man and was forced to start his gang career. In the end, it was very likely that he was exposed because of this stone. In the end, he fell from the building and smashed into pieces, hinting at the protagonist's failure. "
"It seems that Director Zhu Xiaoce is indeed ambitious. This movie's design is exquisite. It is very likely that he was aiming for an award from the beginning."
Lu Xiaoping specialized in movies after all. He had a much higher vision than other bosses and could see a lot of things.
Of course, he was not a particularly professional film critic and had only watched it once. Thus, he only mentioned a few points that he could see based on his first impression.
Since this movie could win an award, it was definitely not just because of the artistic skills of the filming. There must also be something deeper that moved the judges.
Nie Yunsheng said worriedly, "Boss Lu, do you think 'My Property' can win?"
Lu Xiaoping thought for a moment and said, "Since ancient times, there has been no first place in literature. It's too crude and utilitarian to judge by winning or not. It's not good to say that."
"After all, we are not competing in the box office and awards, but public opinion."
"From the looks of it, 'My Property' has accurately hit Tengda Corporation. As for 'The Future You Choose', the impact is not very big even though it has also affected us."
"In fact, I think this movie is not as lethal as the game."
"After all, the game has attacked our anti-Tengda Alliance through the final ending. The movie did not even mention it."
"On the other hand, both movies are constantly portraying and working hard to push Tengda Corporation to the position of a giant monopoly enterprise. The subtle influence on the audience is not to be underestimated. "
"As public opinion continues to ferment, everyone will more or less be wary of Tengda Corporation's current state."
"All in all, I think 'My Property' is already outstanding enough. Let's leave the rest to fate!"
