Today’s movie review ｜ Hu Ge + Wu Lei cooperate again, can it be ＂worth the trip＂？

1905 movie network feature The release of materials for the new film and the third on-screen cooperation attracted the anticipation of many netizens, and the topic "Hu Ge and Wu Lei’s new film role relationship" was on the hot search. What kind of story did the film "It’s Worth It" tell us, and why did the two cooperate this time attract much attention? "Connected film critics, talk with us about this hot topic.

Hu Ge and Wu Lei first collaborated on the 2007 TV series "Young Yang Family General," in which Wu Lei and Hu Ge played Yang Liulang’s childhood and adolescence, respectively. By 2015, Hu Ge played Mei Changsu in the TV series "Langya Ranking", and Wu Lei played his personal guard Feiliu. After a seven-year absence, the movie "A Journey Worth It" brought the two together again. What role did they play this time?

Tan Fei said: "This time Hu Ge plays a 35-year-old screenwriter – Wen Shan, this screenwriter is very strange, he writes about the life course of the deceased. Wu Lei also said in an interview that he has been accompanying Wen Shan. In the movie, he should be a virtual person, like a split personality, so he is also looking forward to the chemical reaction between the person born after this split personality and the original character." The personality doppelganger played by Wu Lei in the film may have a more straightforward level, thus complementing the personality played by Hu Ge. This "complementary personality" character relationship is worth looking forward to.

Referring to the expectations of the film, Tan Fei said: "Of course I’m looking forward to it. First, these two people are beautiful men, and everyone loves beautiful things. Second, because this is the third collaboration, they are very friendly. From’Young Yang Family General ‘to the later’Langya List’, this is the third collaboration, so the third collaboration, they actually have a process of slowly getting closer to age." In addition, the director of "It’s Worth It" is that Director Liu Jiayin’s previous works have many experimental and even avant-garde attempts at realism. Therefore, the film "It’s Worth It" is very exciting from the casting selection to the style.

The audience’s expectations for a character and a character are deeper due to their love for actors. The 22-year-old Hu Ge is handsome and energetic, and the 40-year-old Hu Ge is humble and stable. In the market feedback, Hu Ge has always been one of the few actors who can balance art and business very well. In this play, his role as Wen Shan is looking for himself, and how does the real Hu Ge find himself?

Twenty-two-year-old Hu Ge starred in "Legend of Immortal Sword and Fairy Hero". His role as Li Xiaoyao, who is ruffian and righteous, has a sense of opportunity, and this role suddenly became popular. Later, he took on "Legend of the Condor Hero", but an accident during this period became a turning point in his life. The unexpected car accident left him lying in a hospital bed for several months, which had a great impact on Hu Ge’s life. After 2006, he rarely made movies, and more did charity, including donating in the name of his assistant. "I think he may have had a huge reflection on his life after the car accident, and he has a different understanding of the value and meaning of life than the average actor, so he may have paid more attention to the communication with the world, a possibility of good will transmission with the world," Tan Fei said.

There was a period of silence until the TV series "Langya Bang", in which he played Mei Changsu, became a new starting point for him. In the film, Mei Changsu was dashing with melancholy and seemed to be pondering the world. Later, Hu Ge slowly took this slightly literary, slightly melancholy but also commercially selling image into the hearts of the people, including the later "Pretender", "Yes," and the film. Tan Fei said: "His production is definitely lower than that of many so-called first-line actors, and he suddenly fell silent, but this silence is by no means standing still, it is by no means not doing anything, but accumulating wealth in silence, thinking about life, thinking about the thickness and depth of characters, so I think Hu Ge’s works will get better and better in the future, because every time he laughs, every line carries the taste of life."

Liu Jiayin, the director of "It’s Worth It," features experimental realism in her films. Tan Fei explains: "What is experimental realism, that is, she is talking about reality, but in her expression, there are some avant-garde colors and some experimental colors." Compared with the traditional reality shooting method, experimental realism appears to have a higher threshold and also comes with risks. It is difficult for the audience to find their own high point in the expression of virtual and real, and we have seen some failed works that let the audience see in the clouds. Of course, there are also successful examples, such as movies and movies, which are relatively good combination of business and art.

A good movie also has to be good at selecting actors, such as those in "Send You a Little Red Flower" and "Life Events". Tan Fei mentioned: "This movie" It’s Worth It "has Hu Ge and Wu Lei teamed up, and there is no problem in terms of box office appeal and audience attraction, so his style must be slightly landing. I don’t think we can pursue that kind of experimentation too much, but I think the key point of experimental realism is the word’realism ‘. Maybe only realism can make the audience feel it."

Hu Ge was very cautious about taking on the film. He must have thought carefully about taking on this film, and he believed in his aesthetics, and his aesthetics would not disappoint the audience. Although this film is directed by a new director, there are also teachers who serve as the supervisor.
