The second one is Cao Gan’s new film, which is also an art film, and can even be said to be a rural art film, "The Woman with Iron Chains and Bare Hair in the Mud House".
It’s a very long and awkward title, deliberately filled with a primitive and rough sense of desire. Just from the title, the tension of the story is already there.
To be fair, this scale is actually quite large. If it is under the name of DreamWorks, it is only because Lu Hao has a lot of face now, otherwise it may not pass the review and must be changed.
As for the style, it is Cao Gan's usual stream-of-consciousness style, telling the story of a college girl who was trafficked to a mountain village and became a reproductive tool.
There are long stretches of imagery in the film.
The woman imprisoned in the mud house saw through the frosted glass and the chimney hole the blue sky outside, the gathering and dispersing white clouds, the golden rapeseed fields, the woman bathing in the stream, and the child drowned by waterweeds.
The whole movie looks like the dream of a lunatic, or like a dream in despair, and the style of magical realism is still very strong.
At least in Lu Hao's opinion, the quality of this movie is very good. Compared with his first work, it is much more delicate and has some commercial elements added.
The so-called commercial elements are actually ghs, with some scenes that are not suitable for children, which are so exciting that people and animals can't stop watching them.

but……
What the specific results will be will be left to the audience to judge.
As of now, the company's marketing department has not given very high box office ratings to these two films.
It's not a problem with these two movies themselves.
But the competition during this period is so fierce that it can be called a death period.
Many companies may rely on this battle to recover, so everyone is basically fighting for their lives.
It is really not an easy thing to stand out from the crowd.
Furthermore, although these two films were produced by DreamWorks, they were not the works of Lu Hao himself.
There are still significant differences between the two.
Many viewers are just die-hard fans of Lu Hao, and may not necessarily buy into the movies of other DreamWorks directors.
