1331. The Underrated Director Chen

In fact, the box office of some movies is very important. Commercial movies, everything depends on the box office.

Especially nowadays, it is really hard to get bad movies just enough to make money.

Because this is no longer the era when even movies like "Tianji·Fuchun Mountain Residence" are bought and even praised by people.

This is an era when ordinary audiences will take the initiative to scold a certain fortress.

What does it mean?

It shows that the box office can at least prove one thing, that is, whether the movie is a bad movie!

At least, movies with high box office are difficult to make from real bad movies in this era!

Sometimes, box office is actually less important.

Of course, this is from another standpoint.

For distribution companies and film production companies, investment is to pursue returns, and naturally the higher the box office, the better.

As for Chen Shaojun, in fact, he actually has no expectations for high box office movies like "The Devotion of Suspect X".

Although the movie is indeed very good.

It has also received praise from the media, filmmakers and film critics.

Many viewers even gave good ratings.

Audiovisual Online, the rating exceeds 8.5 points.

But this is never a big production, nor is it a very popular movie.

Therefore, the box office ceiling of "The Devotion of Suspect X" will not be very high!

However, "The Devotion of Suspect X" brought to Chen Shaojun, which is even more affirmative than the high box office.

This movie can be said to have completely made Chen Shaojun's name truly famous in the film industry.

The most rare thing about "The Devotion of Suspect X" is the perfect balance between business and art in the view of film critics!

A famous filmmaker, film critic, and editor-in-chief of "Movie Weekly", Zhou Shan wrote a long review of "The Dedication of Suspect X" in his column!

Zhou Shan is not the kind of rigid film critic, not only artistic theory, nor commercial theory, or box office theory!

But his voice is very powerful. In other words, as one of the few older generation film critics in China, his comments are beyond the reach of many movies.

“The Devotion of Suspect X is undoubtedly one of the best films in recent years to truly combine business and art, or rather, this film perfectly puts business and art in a balance!

First of all, in business, "The Devotion of Suspect X" is undoubtedly successful. The preliminary preparation, the hook, the centipede-like scar on the wrist of the Stone God, the subtle movements and changes in the expressions of the Stone God when Chen Jing and his daughter appeared, etc., are actually serving the suspense.

This movie seems to have told the audience the answer from the beginning that the murderer was Chen Jing and his daughter, and then threw out the perfect evidence of absence! It immediately successfully attracted the audience's hearts. They couldn't help but think about how Shi Shen did it?

Afterwards, the changes of the Stone God were actually very essential. For example, the Stone God wore a yellow windbreaker and said, isn’t this good-looking? Such words made Tang Chuan begin to doubt him, and also made the audience wonder about him. Did he do this on purpose or was affected to become like this?

At the same time, the Shi Shen began to track Chen Jing and threatened him. Such a turning point also made people more and more suspicious. On the one hand, it made people mistakenly believe that the Shi Shen really loved Chen Jing so much that he was crazy.

There is a topic on the Internet that is also very hot, that is, is Chen Jing and his daughter considered legitimate defense? In my opinion, the essence of this same movie lies!

First of all, is Chen Jing and his daughter considered legitimate defense? Because this doubt itself is part of the movie that wants to show to the audience.

Because of this, the motive for the Stone God to take the initiative to help made everyone doubt and laid the foundation for the subsequent actions of the Stone God!

It makes people involuntarily wonder whether Shi Shen is really that kind of person, and whether he does this because he wants to control Chen Jing!

Therefore, when the final answer is revealed, it will bring a huge turning point to the audience!

This is the perfect means of commercial movies!

But the most rare thing is that this movie is not a pure commercial movie. On the contrary, this movie also has a good pursuit in art!

I don’t know if you have noticed that this movie has many details and many symbols of light and darkness!

For example, bag!

The old brown flip briefcase is the bag that the stone god will take every time he appears, and this is actually a very special hidden symbol in "The Devotion of Suspect X".

The director has given the social attributes to the audience, giving hints and a manifestation of the characters. When you watch the movie carefully, you will find that in fact, every character in the movie has a bag.

Shi Shen’s old brown flip-style briefcase and Tang Chuan’s simple black business Dulles bag show the character’s ability, logic and cleverness. Chen Jing’s oblique Kun bag shows both independence and weakness. Including the beautiful schoolbags in the film, her brightly colored schoolbags are a manifestation of hope.”

"This is just one of the hidden symbols in the movie. I wonder if anyone remembers the "Woman in the Window" hanging at Chen Jing's house? This is also a metaphorical symbol, implying that Chen Jing's past was unbearable!

At the same time, the use of the camera also makes this movie quite remarkable. At the beginning, at the beginning, the Shi Shen's outfit, his walking way, and the environment he is in, all gave people a feeling of depression. However, when Chen Jing and his daughter appeared, the whole picture was like the first ray of sunshine tearing apart at dawn!

There are also opening and closing doors, and the several times in the movie open and close doors, which are all very interesting.

The first time was when Chen Jing and Shi Shen met in the corridor. When Chen Jing opened the door, there was also light!

The second time was when Shi Shen recalled, and when he opened the door, there was also a beam of light...

The third time, when Chen Jing and his daughter killed Li Xiong by chance, the stone god was outside the door. When Chen Jing opened the door, another beam of light was light!

......

Everything makes this movie more poetic!

This is why, this movie made me admire you!

He is worthy of being the person Wang Yifan values, Chen Shaojun is definitely an underrated director!

Looking forward to his collaboration with Hollywood star James Lister's film "The Rest of the Desert Island"!"

In fact, an excellent movie usually doesn't lack topics.

The charm of "The Devotion of Suspect X" is that there are many things in this movie that can make people understand differently.

Many plots, scenes, and details made many movie fans discuss and quarrel!

When a movie is interpreted by countless people in various ways, it itself shows the success of this movie!

Because only when people really look at it, put it in, and think about it seriously can these different interpretations appear!
