Chapter 130 Crying
Rong Ankang is a good storyteller, with the main and subplots of the story intertwined.
In the main storyline, the protagonist Qi Hong was demoted, but the Zhu family in the hidden storyline was on the rise, which can be described as "flowers blooming and oil boiling in a blazing fire"!
What happened next was the famous "Zhongshi Mochuang" incident in history books.
This kid wasn't nervous even in front of everyone. He pulled the bow and arrow, and his flexible waist tensed like a crescent moon.
The arrow feathers were still trembling slightly on the stone.
The young general raised his heroic eyebrows, with a childlike innocence and persistence: "Why do you need generals of the three armies? I am enough!"
Then he lifted his clothes quickly, straightened his back and knelt down to receive the order.
The emperor's grace was immense, and his shadow was vaguely visible on the high throne—he ordered Zhu Zhen to lead the army out that very day to guard the border.
The people came to see him off and the streets were empty.
This was the most memorable and glorious moment in Zhu Zhen's life.
The studio was quiet.
Everyone watched quietly as Zhu Zhen rushed to the battlefield and watched him lead his troops into battle for the first time and win a brilliant victory!
So beautiful!
The fighting scenes are also beautiful. Shu Ming's swordplay has the solid feeling of an old-school martial arts star, and it is definitely not a paper-made frame with fancy moves. Rong Ankang is also very considerate and did not add some fancy special effects to drag it down.
There are no special effects, not even any wirework.
The coolness brought by real swords and guns, and the basic skills that the actors have practiced for this purpose, these are irreplaceable by anything else!
The few fighting scenes are all very realistic and deadly - especially after being infinitely magnified on the screen, they are really eye-catching!
Many people couldn't help but glance at a figure in the front row.
All I saw was the back of a head that was watching the movie very attentively.
What a surprise!
Shu Ming, do you have any surprises that we don’t know about?
It’s a pity that “good things in the world do not last forever”.
Qi Hong was demoted to the dust, and the emperor, for his own selfish desires, reached into the bag of the Ministry of War and embezzled military funds.
Zhu Zhen then discovered that the battle was becoming increasingly difficult to fight.
He was short of food and clothing, his soldiers were hungry, and even when his warhorse knelt and died on the battlefield, its eyes were still looking towards home.
Zhu Zhen found that he had all the strength but could not protect anyone.
But they still won.
Even though his personal guards died, his warhorse died, and the soldiers he personally led... all died.
But they still won.
Zhu Zhen stood on the battlefield, staggering and confused.
Drops of blood from the soldiers were hanging on his face.
He didn't shed a tear or say a word, but the drop of blood flowed silently, as if expressing many unfinished words for him.
The young general brought the remaining troops back to Beijing, thinking that he would be admired by the people, rewarded according to his merits, and his name would be recorded in history.
The next moment, he arrived in Beijing and had to face the tragic situation of his entire family being thrown into prison.
Rong Ankang really loves him!
In the first twenty minutes of the movie, he gave Shu Ming quite a few shots, and each one was a classic shot worth savoring countless times!
Some people on the battlefield were already weeping bitterly. Now Zhu Zhen was kneeling dejectedly under the throne, and everyone was worried for him.
Fortunately, he did not die. He appeared again on the morning when the story officially began.
The cabinet meeting had just ended. Qi Hong frowned, lowered his head, and walked out along the wall.
This winter is extremely cold, and the white mist exhaled is spreading in the air.
Before Qi Hong could sort out his thoughts, he saw someone coming from not far away.
It was a figure as tall and straight as a pine tree.
He wore a black gauze hat with gold decoration, red fan-shaped boots with black bottoms, and his vermilion official uniform fluttered with every step he took.
Even before I saw his face, I already felt that he was a "handsome gentleman, unparalleled in the world."
The camera slowly moves up from the hem of his clothes, revealing a fair, beardless, and elegant face of a gentleman.
There was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were not as cold as those of ordinary people.
If this isn't Zhu Zhen who entered the palace, who else could it be?
I got goosebumps all over the floor!
When Shu Ming played this role, he was eighteen? Nineteen?
He was able to play such a contradictory and opposite role naturally and harmoniously.
The young man who had "ridden a horse and paraded through the streets at the Qionglin Feast" was now as cold and sinister as a poisonous snake, but no one felt any sense of disconnection.
Perhaps it was his carefully honed gait - Zhu Zhen had not truly assimilated into the status of a completely lowly slave. He had not been in the factory and guard institutions long enough, and he still showed traces of his past, walking with the square steps unique to a young man from an aristocratic family.
Maybe it was his always straight back - Zhu Zhen seemed like he would never bend over, and even when he knelt, he would still be as straight as when he was 15 years old.
It makes people naturally accept this fact, accept that Zhu Zhen has become like this, instead of cutting off contact and thinking that Zhu Zhen has become a different person.
This requires extremely strong acting skills!
Shu Ming did it.
Someone posted a long analysis after reading it:
Even four years ago, Shu Ming's acting skills still showed signs of immaturity. If you really want to be more specific, you have to admit that compared to the increasingly mature "Far Away", there are still many shortcomings.
But Shuming's emotions are devoted and strong enough.
When he played Zhu Zhen in the early stage, he was proud of this role from the bottom of his heart.
When he played Zhu Zhen in the later period, he could understand the character's pain, convince himself to accept the character's logic, and rack his brains to design different details for this role.
Instead of treating this name, which has never been so glorious in history books, with contempt and disdain.
This is a common problem for many actors. When they play a villain, they hate the character before the audience does. How can they truly integrate into the role?
Therefore, we often think that an actor's sense of conviction is very important. This identification with the role truly supports the skeleton of the role.
The moment Zhu Zhen changed into his official uniform and appeared on the stage, I told the people around me that this character came alive. Before the movie started, we all guessed that Shu Ming would use a conventional shell in the industry and use the most conventional method to handle the image of a eunuch: a shrill voice, a hunched back, and flattery... This is the simplest and least error-prone way, isn't it?
But he didn't.
Shu Ming has always been an actor who uses his brain. He understands Zhu Zhen, his remaining pride, and his past, and he spent a lot of effort to design this image.
Because of his dedication and passion, Zhu Zhen was able to come to life briefly yet eternally on the screen.
The rest of the minor flaws are just minor details and there is no need to dwell on them. We are so willing to tolerate him, appreciate him, and look forward to him bringing even better screen images in the future.
So even though Shu Ming is young, he looks natural, and his shortcomings also make him look cute.
At the premiere, according to actors from the same crew, Shu Ming was unable to get out of the role for quite a long time.
I think he must have devoted his most sincere emotions to his role, which is why he created such a vivid Zhu Zhen in front of us.
As the film review said, Shu Ming brought Zhu Zhen to life.
Not only did he act vividly, but he acted too realistically and vividly——
So you have to hate him and love him at the same time.
My joy, anger, sorrow and happiness were almost led by him!
This is a very complicated feeling.
Sometimes I hate him so much that my teeth itch. I wish all the bad things he has done would be exposed in the next second and he would be sent to jail by the righteous protagonists.
Sometimes I really feel pity for him. When I think of the little general in the past, my nose becomes sore.
Sometimes I also think that this person is quite lovable. After the banquet, the famous Lord Zhu would quietly linger and ask the musician what song he had just played, just like a child.
Yes, Zhu Zhen was not that old at that time!
Because of my complicated emotions, I felt particularly reluctant to let go when I watched Zhu Zhen move towards the end step by step.
According to historical records, Zhu Zhen died on the night he was on a diplomatic mission to Tongzhuang.
This small town is only 500 miles away from the capital.
The rest was not said much.
Rong Ankang gave Zhu Zhen a sufficiently tragic ending.
An ending that fits Zhu Zhen's true feelings.
He asked Zhu Zhen to complete his childhood joke.
"Fubo only wishes to return with his body wrapped, why should Dingyuan enter the pass alive?"
When Zhu Zhen read this sentence as a child, he held up his small wooden bow for bird hunting and said proudly and confidently, "I want to fight for my country and become a great general!"
Now, he has got what he wanted.
Facing the enemy troops filling the city walls, he pondered for a long time.
Finally, he closed his eyes slightly and took out a large bow from the side of the saddle.
Just like many years ago, pull it open steadily.
He wanted to do his best to buy the capital another night to prepare for war.
At first he said: "Why do you need generals for the whole army? I am enough!"
But it turns out that one person is far from enough.
No matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, they cannot withstand a hundred swords or a thousand arrows.
…
The ending is almost inevitable.
Some people have already turned their heads away, no longer daring to look at the screen.
There was a slight sniffing sound in the field.
When Zhu Zhenyang was lying on the snow, he inexplicably thought of his personal soldiers who died on the battlefield. Were they also so cold back then?
Snow flakes fell down one after another, gradually covering his body.
He thought of his carefree childhood, his glorious youth, and his parents.
…and then closed his eyes forever.
Some people broke down in tears and pressed the corners of their eyes with tissues.
Some people also lowered their heads and wrote movie reviews.
But the wheel of history does not stop for anyone.
After Zhu Zhen's death, Qi Hong ignored all objections, forcibly withstood the pressure, and led the people in the city to survive this "Battle to Defend the Capital."
After all, it is the Spring Festival period, and although the Zhu Zhen line is a bit heavy, the overall film still follows a path of laughter and tears.
The film was full of climaxes and the plot progressed intensively, making the audience laugh and cry. When the film finally ended, the whole house burst into heartfelt applause.
"Chang'an Ashes" is exciting enough!
This is the greatest recognition for all the leading actors and behind-the-scenes workers!
**
The premiere was over very quickly.
The media and professional film critics had already made up their minds that they needed to grab a wave of traffic before this movie became a big hit.
And what about ordinary moviegoers?
When everyone burst into tears and walked out of the theater, looking at each other and exchanging glances, they finally managed to regain their composure.
nice!
It looks really good!
But the tearjerker is real:
Whether it is the main plot of everyone working together to fight a defense, or the subplot of Zhu Zhen himself, they are both worth recommending to others and savoring over and over again.
But spoilers are shameful after all.
So I couldn’t say too much, I could only hold back my tears and try my best to recommend it: “It’s really good!”
“It’s truly a family-friendly movie!”
Look at you crying, I don’t believe you at all!
But how can you not watch Shu Ming's movies? Especially the 19-year-old youth version of Shu Ming, which is even more rare!
Everyone was so infatuated with the film that a group of people entered the cinema half-believing and half-doubting.
When they came out again, everyone was in a trance.
It's not a lie.
It's really good, and the happy family ending is also real - but why... I still can't help but cry...
This scene is so similar!
Who was the last person who tortured them to tears and died in the snow?
It’s white fir!
Everyone was holding their breath in their chest, and their hearts were bleeding!
I really want to condemn Shu Ming, that stinky boy - but I can't bear to -
Then, it was very pitiful.
On the first day of the new year, Director Rong encountered the same experience as Zheng Yiwei did that year.
Yes, his Weibo was attacked.
So sad!
