Cao Baoping's "Wading in the Sea of Anger" became the best-performing box office film in the period, with a box office of more than 3 in seven days of release as of press time1.1 billion, and it is expected that the final box office is expected to approach 700 million.
Leaving "I Am a Mountain" and "The Tip of the Knife" behind, and crushing Disney's "Star Wish" even stronger, "Such a momentum, in addition to the escort of Huang Bo and Zhou Xun, is also because of the practical significance of the movie itself, the accurate projection and in-depth analysis of the original family, family love, and the excavation of human nature in extreme situations. In addition to maintaining a consistent level and giving the movie a very high-level sense of cinema, Cao Baoping has also done enough work on the details, let's take a look at the many details that make people chill down the spine, and see how much effort the main creative team has put into the script and shooting.
Detail 1: Happy birthday to fall prey
Soon after the opening of the movie, it was introduced that Nana's birthday was May 5th, which was the Japanese Calamus Festival, so the name tag on Nana's chest when she worked part-time read "Calamus".
When she met Miao Miao on the road and pulled him into the restaurant, Miao Miao ordered a cake and gave it to Nana, which greatly shortened the distance between the two and won Nana's favor. The two met by chance on the street, how did Miao Miao know that this day was Nana's birthday?I believe that on the one hand, he guessed that it was Nana's birthday through the small detail of "calamus" on the name brand, but it was a little far-fetched, and the other possibility was that Nana revealed her birthday on social platforms, and Miao Miao browsed through local users and happened to see this content, so that she was certified when she saw Nana's famous brand. Analyzing along this line of thought, it is really chilling, the moment Nana pressed the send button, she had already become the prey chosen by Miao Miao, igniting the fuse of the tragedy.
Detail 2: Burgers and instant noodles echo each other
Delivering the cake is the first step for Li Miaomiao to trap the prey, and the second step is the burger he gives to the homeless.
Judging from the camera switch, it is obvious that this is Miao Miao's carefully designed "performance" for Nana, leaving Nana with the impression that she is very kind. But Miao Miao is by no means a good type, in fact, the scene given in the movie shows that the homeless man looks strange after eating the hamburger, there must be something wrong with the hamburger, maybe it is hidden glass, blades, or mixed with poison and so on.
To affirm this, the movie gives an echo later. After his roommate and Nana**, Miao Miao, who found out about this, took the initiative to cook noodles for him, but at the end of the meal, his roommate found that the bottom of the pot was a turtle raised by himself, which completely demonstrated Miao Miao's sick heart, as well as his dark character who was eager to revenge.
Detail 3: Lao Jin told too many lies
After learning of Nana's death, Gu Hong asked Lao Jin why he didn't pick up his daughter**, Lao Jin perfunctorily said that he was too busy to put on it, and he hung up when no one spoke on the other side. In fact, the ** of Cortana on Lao Jin's mobile phone shows "missed". This point also echoes, that is, in order to reduce the trouble of fishing at sea, Lao Jin will even take the initiative to cut off contact with the outside world and pull out the ** line, from the beginning he can judge that he only has fishing in his mind, and there is no daughter at all.
In addition, in order to show that he values his daughter, Lao Jin has been lying constantly, he didn't know that his daughter had a boyfriend, and he didn't even know the identity of the other party in a face-to-face chat, but he subconsciously told Cortana's friend that he knew.
Detail 4: Li Lie wants to borrow a knife to kill someone
What sends chills down my spine in this movie is that the director uses a scene to refract people's hearts. There is a saying that "tiger poison does not eat children", but Li Lie played by Zu Feng is not like this. After divorcing Jing Lan played by Zhou Xun, Zu Feng, who remarried and gave birth to a daughter, was so selfish that he gave all his love to his wife and children behind him, and Miao Miao caused his daughter to be disabled, which also became an eternal knot in his heart, and began to resent Miao Miao.
When he learned that Miao Miao might have killed Nana, Li Lie, as a father, did not want to save his son, but to kill people with a knife, thinking that Miao Miao would be a hundred as a result of Lao Jin, so he did not call the police after Lao Jin broke in, but persuaded him with good words and let him go. At this point, the father and son no longer have the slightest father-son relationship.
There is a cause and there is an effect, and it is precisely because of Li Lie's performance that Miao Miao lacked father's love since she was a child, and she became what she looked like when she grew up.
Detail 5: Fish rain falls from the sky, and everyone is crazy
On the day of the typhoon, Li Miaomiao fled to the airport, Jing Lan also planned to leave by plane, and Lao Jin in the police car chased behind, and the three people in the core of the vortex were destined to have a fierce intersection on this highway.
At this time, it rained fish, which was indeed a possible situation, but it was also the externalization of the character's inner frenzied emotions, which also made several groups of characters become advanced and crazy, which set off the fierce atmosphere at that time, so there was Lao Jin's crazy move after catching up with Li Miaomiao, his excitement echoed with Jing Lan's desperate cry stuck in the car, and constructed the most intense part of the whole movie picture and emotion.
