global actor

Lu Hua's life is back on track and he has nothing to do again. But because of him in the UK, a movie was spread by word of mouth in just three days, and its reputation slowly grew.

…

Since Klefler Film Company is gradually losing money, 50,000 copies of the film has been considered the largest order in recent years. However, these 50,000 discs can only be regarded as a small order in the eyes of the disc reprinting company, so it is normal.

This batch of orders was placed at the end of other orders.

The production capacity could not keep up, coupled with the large number of outsourced purchases, which started queuing up in the middle of the night, resulting in only a small number of British people buying the "Effect" disc.

But after watching it, a small group of people had a huge response on the Internet, attracting the attention of many movie lovers. This also has a lot to do with Mickey. After all, he is a well-known director in Europe and knows a little bit.

There are few people who order movies who have not heard of his name.

Driven by curiosity, people went to the video store, but of course they returned empty-handed. At this time, they did not know that the person who bought a large number of CDs was not a British person, but a fan of someone in China.

They thought that those netizens heard the news faster than they did and bought the CD before they did, which made them even more eager to know what the content of the movie was.

So, in this situation where demand exceeds supply, scalpers naturally emerged. These scalpers were none other than those purchasing agents who were preparing to send the CDs to China, but then regretted it and lied about not grabbing the CDs.

The original price of the Blu-ray disc was 23.9 pounds, but now it has been sold for 50 pounds. But even so, there are still a large number of movie lovers gritting their teeth, stamping their feet, paying the money, taking the goods and leaving, running home happily and shouting

Call your friends to watch the movie.

Buying double the happiness at double the price, those who waited two days to buy the CD at the original price but had to pay a premium found it worth it.

Of course, this happiness started when someone quickly got the CD and ended at the beginning of the movie. In fact, it didn't last long.

…

The room was eerily quiet. The six people sitting on the sofa looked at the slowly flowing letters on the TV with somewhat solemn expressions. It wasn't until the entire movie was played that all of them took a deep breath at the same time. What's more, some of them didn't.

He kept rubbing his chest, as if he had just drowned and was out of breath.

"Wow...it's really...very sharp."

The white man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was a little speechless. He couldn't think of any better words to describe this silent film. In the end, he could only use the word "sharp" to describe the content of the film. The others were basically equivalent to being mute.

, just nodded in agreement with the man's words.

"It's getting late. It's time for me to go home, Raoul. You continue to play, I'll leave first."

"Then let me go too. It's time to pick up the kids from school. Goodbye Raul."

"Then I'll join you. See you tomorrow."

The man with gold-rimmed glasses got up and sent these friends away. In fact, he felt quite ashamed. He originally called a group of friends over to watch a movie and chat, but by the middle of the movie, they all became mute while chatting.

After apologizing again and again, seeing all his friends leaving, he closed the door and cleared away the popcorn and drinks on the table.

The disc was pushed out of the player. He picked it up and looked at the front of the disc carefully. He was a little silent and put the disc back into the player. The TV screen appeared again. He sat on the sofa and touched his stubble.

Watch.

His name is Raul Smith. He is an editor of an entertainment magazine and a part-time freelance writer. He does not write gossip news. His main job is to write film reviews for the most popular movies in Europe recently.

I called the editor-in-chief of the magazine and asked him if he could write a film review about "The Effect", but I got a negative answer because the film reviews for this issue and the next issue have already been decided, and they are all for

They have no space to spare for a movie that has not been promoted by them, unless Raul doesn't mind that his film review and advertising space are on the same page.

This was not what Raul expected, so he didn't bother too much, hung up the phone directly, looked at the protagonist Kyle on the TV, and sighed unconsciously.

People always say that treating one's hobbies as a job is a happy thing, but it also depends on what kind of job it is. Just like Raul, once his hobbies are linked to money and he relies on them to make a living, he is restricted to strict rules.

, then he will gradually lose favor with the hobby.

Nowadays, he has indeed lost most of his interest in the job of writing film reviews. If he had realized this more than ten years ago, he would never have embarked on this path.

Now he has a deep understanding of how writing film reviews for money is a subversive thing to his faith. But now even if he figures it out, it will not help. He is destined to continue to pick up the pen to support his family.

Money binds the body and mind, and I write mostly praiseful reviews for those movies that a few like and the majority don't.

As for those movies that he really likes but cannot be published in magazines, most of them can only be published online anonymously or under nicknames as they are now, not for money, but just to keep the fire for love alive.

Without friends around him, he could carefully watch every detail reflected in the movie and sigh. Do you want to say that this movie has no shortcomings? In fact, it does.

However, the director and editor used a very good technique to cover it up in an understatement, allowing people to quickly forget the shortcomings and get immersed in the plot itself again. It is also because of such detailed processing of the plot that it makes movie fans feel excited.

Cold feeling.

He used a notebook to write down every turning point, every shot detail, and every important line. Finally, when he watched the movie again, he had already written down six pages of text in the notebook.

This is the professional quality of a professional film critic. First, he must understand the film's creative team, especially the director, and have a clear understanding of his style, personality, abilities, and outstanding aspects. Secondly, he must also have a good understanding of the actors.

If you want to know the basics, you can talk to anyone.

There are also various details of the movie, whether there are excellent plots borrowed from other movies, whether the plot progress is reasonable, how the actors perform, how the colors are used, whether the camera transitions are in place, whether the costume design is good or bad, whether the music is pleasant and appropriate, and the editing techniques

Whether it is superb or not, this all needs to be taken into consideration.

Finally, after considering all the advantages and disadvantages and giving a specific score, it can be said that every film critic is a talkative king. Just like gourmets, they may not know how to cook, but they are really good at eating.

At first, before he watched "The Effect", he had already guessed that it was a tragedy. Based on his understanding of Mickey, Raul knew that he was a typical pessimist and always liked to play with melancholy tunes to touch the hearts of movie fans.

, to achieve the purpose of shocking movie viewers.

It is undeniable that this man who started taking pictures at the age of twenty-five is really talented, but every one of his works reveals a world-weary emotion that is so strong that it cannot be overcome. While watching the movie, it is imprinted on your mind.

In Raul's opinion, this is a kind of black magic that makes people's thoughts pessimistic and negative. Therefore, Raul actually doesn't like Mickey, the director, because of the meaning expressed in his works.

Not worthy of promotion.

But now Raul feels that he has underestimated this genius. The works he brought this time are not only melancholy and pessimistic, but also complete despair, exposing the ugliness of human nature.

Raul is half an insider, and he vaguely knows the inside story of Mickey's imprisonment. However, Raul does not know what happened to Mickey, but he can now conclude that Mickey's change in style must be the same as before.

Years of poor life had a lot to do with it, which made his style and thoughts evolve from pessimism to complete extremes.

And the biting cold wind brought by this extreme style made this film critic who doesn't like Mickey very much can't help but get lost in the wind and snow, and can't help but want to write something for this movie. This kind of magic... is really

It's scary enough.

He got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face and relieve his mood. He returned to the study and turned on the computer. He turned the notebook to the first page and placed it on the desk. He took a glass of water, took a sip, organized the vocabulary, and began to write for this topic.

A director whom he disliked came up with his latest masterpiece after being dormant for nearly two years to cheer him up.

"Long time no see, this is Sonic (pseudonym, derived from my favorite childhood animation "Sonic the Hedgehog"). I haven't posted a new movie review for about two months because of the quality of the theater movies in the past two months...

…It’s still bad enough, so this time I shifted my attention to the video tape market, which I haven’t paid attention to for a long time.”

"Many people may think that there are no noteworthy works or directors in the current video tape market. In fact, I think so too. After all, the gap in production investment between theater movies and video tape movies is getting wider and wider, and video tape movies have become synonymous with shoddy production.

, either a rubbish movie that confuses a masterpiece like "Revenge of the Alliance", or an A-level movie that satisfies people's aspirational thinking. There is no need to wait for the video market to look forward to it, just wait for time to release this once glorious distribution method.

Replaced by the Internet."

"But today, I dug out a treasure in the stinking quagmire, or a Pandora's Box. This movie is the new work #"Effect" brought by director Mickey Taylor. Of course, don't hold back on the video market for this.

I have expectations, because Mickey is not at the level of video-tape movies. He just left the film industry for more than a year. At the end of last season, he competed in the qualifying competition. As a result, he lost a segment. It has nothing to do with the rise of the video-tape market. It is just a

A special individual.”

"If you are a pessimist, please don't watch this movie. The connotation and thoughts shown in this movie are definitely not suitable for you. Believe me, I am doing it for your own good. Likewise, kind-hearted viewers

Don’t read it either, in order to prevent the pure land in your hearts from being polluted, otherwise you may be so sad that you can’t sleep well for several days.”

"Okay, without further ado, let's get back to the movie itself. Mickey Taylor. Needless to say, except for "Birdman", they are all good works. Of course, in my eyes, "Birdman" is also a good work.

, it’s just that it’s not suitable for most people. This genius was once involved in a sex scandal. Maybe you think it’s normal for an art practitioner to smoke sex, but what’s interesting is that I once heard that his blood test and urine test did not show any results.

Positive, but still sentenced to one year and six months in prison for drug driving. I don’t know the inside story, but it definitely has something to do with my old employer. Damn capitalism, that’s all I can say

many."

"Maybe it was because of such an experience that his style became darker, which made five of my friends and I feel seriously uncomfortable after watching it. But it was also because of the film's connotation that I made up my mind to contribute to this film.

Write a movie review, actually I hated Mickey before..."

""The Effect" has become a hit in the video market. Many people have heard about this. They were even offered double the price by scalpers. They really dared to ask for the price. However, as a film critic, in order to understand the hot topics at the first time, I

Movie information, I still reluctantly bought it, and I would like to add, if there is something you want to see but can’t buy, you can send me a private message, you can take the forty-five pounds, you can pick it up, and you can pay cash on delivery.”

"This is the end of the talk about Mickey. What we are going to talk about next is the Asian starring Lu Ze. I rarely watch Asian movies, so when I see an Asian playing the leading role, I do feel a little bit disappointed.

It was awkward or uncomfortable, but he quickly untied the knot in my heart with his superb acting skills, and his acting was so damn good!"

"Perhaps you are like me and have never heard of this absolutely outstanding actor before, let alone know everything about him. So today I am going to do some popular science. In fact, the search results for this actor in Europe

It is still difficult to check on the engine. I can only find that he was selected as a candidate for Best Actor at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, and other information is relatively blank."

"But this does not mean that this Chinese actor has no outstanding qualities. On the contrary, he has been a Grand Slam winner at three major film festivals in China. Don't think it is not valuable, because as of now, there is still no second person who has won this award.

This honor and four Best Actor trophies are enough to prove his top-notch strength. The only difference between him and the top actors in Europe and America...the only difference is his skin color."

"Since his first appearance in a movie in 2016, he has played the leading role in six movies, but he has never played a supporting role. It can be seen that his status in the agency is very high, and all the resources are allocated to him. However,

Judging from his performance, it is also appropriate.”

"China's entertainment industry has developed rapidly in recent years, especially the movie market. The box office has hit new highs. However, the quality of the movies is not as beautiful as the box office. From 2010 to now, there are only 21 ratings for Chinese movies.

Among the films with a score of over eight, Lu Ze alone contributed five, accounting for nearly 40% of China's outstanding films in the past 12 years. Score is the only criterion for judging whether an actor is excellent, and he, I don't need to say more.

Did you say it?"

"In this movie, his performance is worthy of anyone's praise, creating a lovable and respected image of a teacher. In the subsequent public opinion and even violent attacks, the character's emotional control and personality

The transformations are also done just right, and you can’t find any shortcomings. That’s it for the popular science, let’s get into the plot.”

"First of all, Mickey brought up several topics worth pondering, such as family, children, soul, religion, morality, good and evil, and herd mentality. The content was too rich, but contrasts and negations were given everywhere, linking one link after another.

Ring, and finally through the fermentation of various psychological effects, it reaches a depressing effect."

"The first is family. There is a sharp contrast between Carls' family and Kyle's family. The battlefield of constant quarrels and the harbor of warmth make people's mental states completely different, which leads to the first effect. This is a very popular one before.

Experiment, two pots of flowers in the same environment and with the same care, one was praised every day, and the other was insulted every day. Within a month, the flower that was praised will become more lush, while the flower that was insulted will wither. This

The experiment has not yet been named, and its authenticity has not been confirmed by myself. But if it is real, then the natural mentality of people living in two families will be completely different. The next topic is brought up.

, children.”

"Are children naturally kind or evil? Philosophers all over the world are thinking about this. Of course, this is closely related to the child's living environment. Because of this, I have reason to believe that Judy's thoughts are not kind but not

Evil in the true sense. Due to her age, she still longed to be cared for by a gentle person, so it was completely reasonable for her to "fall in love" with Kyle. However, because of the evil originating from her family, she destroyed Kyle.

"

"It can be seen from the parents' attitude towards Judy that they love this child, but under the quarrels of the adults, her flower continued to wither, until finally she returned to her hometown with her boyfriend and met Kyle.

She lied to her boyfriend, saying that it was absolutely impossible to forget Kyle as long as she didn't lose her memory. So this was the answer Mickey gave. Judy had passed the age of ignorance and became a real villain.

It’s scary, isn’t it?”

"This is indeed worthy of our reflection on family and children's education. Don't think that if you care for your child, he will become a kind and excellent person. Sometimes your casual words can change the child's life, so when you

When you want to start a family, you should first prepare for future friction and resolve conflicts in a rational way. When you are preparing to have a child, you should also control your own details to avoid affecting the child's mental health."

"As for the topic of soul freedom, there are three types of people, the first type is Kyle, the second type is Karls, and the third type of villagers is Kyle, who is kind-hearted and unwilling to do evil, and feels that dirty money is not worth it.

It is not so much that he left the real estate and finance industry, but that he had to leave because of the rejection of his peers. But for this reason, he really had two years of freedom of soul. But then, others slandered him, and everyone criticized him.

Jin, he couldn't prove his innocence. He valued other people's slander and couldn't show his calmness. In fact, at this moment, he had lost his free soul. This is why on Christmas Day, Judy asked him again

When asked whether he could gain a free soul, he gave a completely different answer than the first time in class."

"Karls, this character can be summed up in two words: cowardly. He wants to escape from the shadow of his father's generation, but due to his education and vision, he can only be trapped in the village like other farmers, marry a wife and have children. He wants to change, but he

He has never taken any practical actions. Of course, his wife's binding is also the reason for his current results. That sentence that you are already the father of three children is indeed too lethal to him. Just like all of us, we will be like Karl.

It’s the same, facing the same predicament, if you don’t make changes when you are young, then when you get married and have children, it will be extremely difficult to change.”

"But his mistake was that he accepted his fate when he shouldn't have, but after he accepted his fate, he continued to have delusions, which caused a huge difference between his dream and reality, which made him depressed. He drank to relieve his sorrow every day, hoping to find something in his dream.

Self, but interested in the free soul proposed by Kyle. Until the end, he knew clearly that Kyle was innocent, but he was tormented in his heart without saying a word because he was afraid of tearing off the collective fig leaf and causing the whole family to be isolated. Perhaps

Only at this time will he remember that he is already the father of three children, so he will not drink alcohol or quarrel with his wife, but choose to remain silent. The tragedy of this character lies in his cowardice, which has led to him never getting what he got.

The yearning for soul freedom is also hateful."

"The last is the villagers. First of all, everyone has a feeling of being victimized and hopes to find a reason for their unsatisfactory life. This is just like those who claim to have unappreciated talents. Really talented people live a good life and will not think of "I

"I just lack a chance." Such shameful words were spoken openly, so these villagers actually lost their sense of shame. They turned into beasts and just wanted to vent their anger oppressed by life, regardless of whether the people being vented were innocent or not.

, no matter who he is, it is actually similar to school violence. Perhaps this is the bad nature of human beings. Venting becomes an instinct, just to make oneself more comfortable."

"Perhaps the paradox of human beings is that we can put our shame very low, but we cannot accept the touch of others, otherwise our hair will explode immediately, so in the end even if they know that Kyle is innocent, they will not agree

Kyle touched their shame. On the contrary, for his own cheap shame, he continued to commit atrocities against Kyle. This also led to the concept of victory and defeat. The concept of good and evil has been thoroughly explained in the movie.

, the winner is justice, but there is one more thing to add. Compared with Kyle, they are naturally the winner, because they have a large number, and Kyle alone is difficult to argue. This is the reason for their victory, then victory equals justice, and quantity equals victory.

, then does quantity equal justice?”

"An even more tragic thing happens. They can brainwash themselves, pretend to be the righteous party, and do evil things. They can do whatever they want, humiliate Kyle and even Catherine arbitrarily, and vent their dissatisfaction and inexplicable anger.

Anger, so they really got the freedom of their souls... This is why I hate Mickey. This is really uncomfortable. Kyle has no freedom, Carls has no freedom, but in the end these villagers got two

The freedom of the soul that people dream of? This kind of morality... is simply crazy."

"As for religion, in fact, the movie does not specifically attack religion. It just uses religion to materialize a phenomenon and satirize the so-called law that does not punish everyone. Crimes are committed by everyone, so everyone should bear them together.

, and should not be borne by a small number of people, or by no one at all. As for the herd mentality, needless to say, the movie clearly talks about it, especially pure children, at this age, it is especially easy for them to impress themselves.

A false impression, putting the "hurt" suffered by others on oneself to gain the attention of adults, but not being responsible for one's own words and deeds. This is what China calls the inherent evil of human nature."

"As for the scene that impressed me most, it was not Christmas Eve, but the scene when Catherine was leaving. I believe Kyle didn't really want an apology from them. Out of his understanding of human nature, he naturally

Knowing that he will never be able to wait for an apology, and the purpose of what he said for this, the electronic lock on his foot can understand."

"Even if everyone knew he was innocent, they still put electronic shackles on him and continued to torture him in this village on trumped-up charges. He couldn't run away, or he couldn't run away, and he didn't tell

The reason why Catherine wore shackles on her own feet was because he knew that no matter how hard he struggled, it would not help. The police would not take action, but the villagers would still take action. Even if the outside world knew about it, the police could use the excuse that they were investigating. He ran away

I can't let go, I can't break free from the shackles, I can only send my lover to escape from here. This deep despair brings me a coldness in my body and heart."

"As for why he didn't leave the village, maybe it was to leave a thorn in the hearts of the villagers. In the end, I think it was a deeper and open ending. As a man who can still dig holes, he will naturally not die so quickly.

, but why did he dig it? Maybe it’s because Judy is an adult. For a man who doesn’t want to hurt his children, maybe the time for revenge has come.”

"Of course, this is just my wild guess. Out of the instinctive idea of ​​fighting violence with violence, no one except Mickey will understand what Kyle will do."

"In general, the calm scenes became more and more depressing as the plot progressed, and eventually became distorted. The shooting techniques need to be praised, the editing was also very good, and the plot really impressed me. The actors directly attracted me

Fans, if I put a score on it all together, I think this movie should be around nine or even higher in my mind."

"This is the end of the discussion about "Effect". More content will have to wait until you watch it in person to have a deeper experience. I am Sonic, and we... don't necessarily know when we will see each other again."

"..."
