In the first month of the new year, domestic entertainment seemed to be on the same page as "snow". There was "Zhang Wansen, it's snowing", in one sentence and a snow, so that "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star" won a box office of more than 600 million during the New Year's Day and became the champion of the schedule. Later, the topic of "Hengdian Snow Explosive Drama" rushed to the first place in the hot search, and the crew posted Reuters pictures in the snow, and fans voted to bet on it.
Looking at "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Step by Step" Zhuyu in front, "Hengdian Snow Explodes Drama" seems to have become a truth prophecy. To be honest, Sir is also very curious about whether the domestic entertainment Hengdian version of "Ruixue Zhaofeng Year" will work. After all, there are nearly 20 or so crews in Hengdian now, large and small, and there is always one who can be out of the circle and look good, right? But. Sir couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water. A snow can only be icing on the cake, not "carved in".
Today, Sir will review the classic famous scenes of snow. See why snow is extra romantic. And why does it always represent a special fate, even fate? Or don't think about it that much. Hurry up and collect the snowy day photo templates of this wave of classic film and television dramas, and let you shoot this year's winter atmosphere blockbuster. (No, no, no, you won't be there with sir, the light will cool down and not snow) 01 Snow and love When it comes to snow, what is the first thing that comes to mind? It is the first kiss between the little bride and the ghost uncle in the world's earliest first snow, green and hasty.
It is the boy and girl who has a spring heart sprouting for the first time in the Shuangmen Cave, rushing to confess his heart to the person he likes when the first snow falls.
It's Senosuke Yokodo and his lover Shoko kissing awkwardly on a snowy Christmas night, spinning happily. First snow, first love, first kiss. In a love story, it seems difficult to find anything else to replace Snow - it is so new and white, as the most innocent feelings in life. Even if he leaves the realm of his first love in his youth, the relationship between snow and love is still constant. For example, snow love. Just think about it. In the slippery snow where it's easy to fall on the butt if you're not careful, there is a person in front of you, and just follow his footsteps to reduce the risk of falling. This kind of careful foot-to-foot printing is also showing with action that "the days to come will be with you all the way". Even if you know that this is fake snow paved with chemical fertilizer, the flowing feelings between the actors can make fake snow better than real snow In the freezing snow, there is a person lying on the snow, using his body as a cold paste to cool down his hot sweetheart with a fever, and there is nothing more than this.
Such a friendship in the snow, how can it not make people in the play tempted and outsiders crazy? And the relationship between snow and love is brought into full play to the extreme, and there is nothing more than "Step by Step". Ruoxi's love is extinguished, and the love is deep and shallow, all of which are inseparable from the appearance of snow. A snow in Hengdian 14 years ago made the famous scene of Ruoxi and Baye moving forward in the snow, and it was also the place where "Baxi Love" first sprouted. The two of them walked in the thick snow one foot deep and one foot shallow, Ruoxi stumbled and almost fell, and the eighth master immediately stepped forward to support him. Shyness is Ruoxi's hand that immediately retracts, and liking is the hand that the eighth master takes the initiative to stretch out. The handrails in the snow are better than countless "magic circles of love" It is also at this moment that Ruoxi, who originally felt that she was floating like a snowflake, realized for the first time that the eighth master had affection for herself, and she was uncontrollably moved in her helplessness. The snowy night meeting on Chinese New Year's Eve is a brief interlacing of two sad people, who are not warming each other at this moment, and each is sad for their own wounds. This seems to be a foreshadowing for the two to part ways when the next snow comes. Ruoxi and the eighth master broke up in the snow. The two approached in the snow. Ruoxi, who knew that the eighth master would lose and die tragically in the battle for the heir, let the eighth master choose between the throne and love. The eighth master rejected love and chose the throne. This is the end of the love of Baxi, and the two go away in the snow. The warm cold snow that once reflected the two of them has become a positive lining here, complementing the sadness in the hearts of the characters. But it is precisely in this snow that the undercurrent of "Sixi Love" is surging. The same almost fell, the same reached out to hold on, and the same heavy snow fell. Ruoxi's love direction is full of snow. But the background color of snow is cold after all. So the appearance of snow has been heralding Ruoxi's love tragedy. Ruoxi reminded the eighth master to beware of the fourth master, and was "misunderstood" by the fourth master that Ruoxi had a relationship with the fourteenth master, and the fourteenth master deliberately let Ruoxi wipe his sweat in order to be angry with the fourth master. These scenes that planted the bane for Sixi's love all happened in the snow.
Looking back at this snow now, it seems like a footnote to fate. For Ruoxi, her fate is always inseparable from love. But for another Qing court drama heroine, her fate is to say goodbye to true love in the snow one after another. Then, change and strengthening. 02 Snow and change snow night, red plum, tree branches hanging small statues. Make a wish with your hands together.
Snow, red plum, once again with folded hands to make a wish. It's just that this time there are more fluttering butterflies, seductive floral fragrances and melon-eating people. The same heavy snow fell, the youthful girl smiled like a flower, and the girl who saw through the red dust had a sad and envious face. The affectionate little couple hid in the warm room, and you grinded ink to write for me, so they were in love. The heavy snow in Hengdian 14 years ago also created many classic scenes in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" (of course, there are also the civets in the snow mentioned above). What's even more worth touching is that the snow scene inside is not only a piece of beauty for the red walls and green tiles, but also a button for Zhen Huan's character changes. Every snow in the play has tightened every change of Zhen Huan. The first snow in Yimei Garden not only paved the way for the indissoluble bond between Zhen Huan, the emperor and the king of Guojun, but also left Zhen Huan's first shadow in the palace. She made a wish to the small statue of Hongmei: one wishes her parents and sister to be healthy and smooth The second wishes are safe in the palace The third wish is to ask for the health of the family, a safe life, and a wish to be a one-hearted person. When the second snow falls in the play, it is when Zhen Huan and the emperor have the purest and most genuine feelings for each other. At this time, Zhen Huan was not discouraged after the miscarriage and loss of her child, she was not discouraged when she found the "Wan Wan Qing", and she did not have the calculation and intrigue step by step. She called him "Shiro", and he responded to her "Huanhuan", Chun'er's sister and brother-in-law.
However, this boudoir pleasure in the snow is when Zhen Huan's innocence in temperament and feelings reaches the highest point on the parabola, and since then, she has ushered in her whereabouts, or "deterioration". In fact, it is better to say that even when Zhen Huan and the emperor have the purest and truest relationship, there are still cracks - Chun'er, who broke in with Hongmei, just put herself in the position of "sister" to watch the love of her sister and brother-in-law, and in a blink of an eye, she became the new favorite of "brother-in-law".
And the three women in this snow, Chun'er, Zhen Huan and Meizhuang, are also the "three in one" of the concubine's situation in the palace: Chun'er is Zhen Huan's past, unworldly, ignorant and innocent; Meizhuang is Zhen Huan's future, she has seen the hot and cold world, and she is sad and lost in her heart. Zhen Huan is at the moment, that faction of concubines, isn't it the future of Chun'er, the past of Meizhuang and Concubine Hua and others?
The next snow is a re-petting scene in the snow that reveals the precursor of Niu Hulu and Zhen Huan. This can be called the first time that Zhen Huan has taken great pains to scheming against the emperor, and the purity and truth in the relationship between the two have never been the same. However, what Sir wants to talk about more is Zhen Huan's changes after this snow. Let's take a look at what Zhen Huan has done in addition to using the old scene to compete for favor. She went to tell the story of Empress Lu making Mrs. Qi a ** to the Fucha nobles, and the Fucha nobles went crazy from then on. She used Wen Yi to provoke the relationship between Cao Qinmo and Concubine Hua and draw Cao Qinmo into her camp.
Jinxi pointed out that Zhen Huan has changed - the little master's behavior seems to be different from before.
At the same time, what has changed is the snow scene in the play - no longer the fluttering, soft snowflakes, but sharp and sharp ice skates, just like Zhen Huan at this time.
To tell the truth, the means and ruthlessness that Zhen Huan showed at this time, even if there is no subsequent blackening return, it is enough to make people believe that she can survive in the harem and maintain her glory and wealth forever. However, the main creators still arranged another snow for her. A snow in Lingyun Peak is the love between Zhen Huan and the king of Guojun, and it is also Zhen Huan's complete love for the emperor. The lover in her heart is no longer a big fat orange, but a civet cat. Since these heavy snowfalls have taken place, Zhen Huan's temperament and feelings have undergone a fundamental reversal. Huan Huan has become Niu Hulu Zhen Huan.
Perhaps because of the snow in the palace fighting drama, most of them fell on the ancient walls of the imperial city, so it became a huge dilemma of making peace with the feudal imperial power. It forces the people trapped in it to change, to fight, to struggle. The white expanse is really clean, not to mention the heavy snow, or the futility and loss of struggling in the fate of history.
"The Desire of the Golden Branch", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Step by Step" 03 Snow and Self Leaving the costume drama and coming to the modern field, Snow is not only a romantic catalyst in the love story, but also a personal life experience that jumps out of history and society. It's a pity that there are not many film and television masterpieces that can reach this realm. Fortunately, there are still film and television masterpieces that can reach this level. Sir wants to focus on two movies, "Love Letter" and "The Grandmaster". In "The Grandmaster", Tony Leung played Ip Man has a monologue: If life is divided into four seasons, then my home is like going from spring to winter.
The "winter of life" that this sentence refers to also applies to Hiroko Watanabe and Fujii Shu (female) in "Love Letter", and Miyaji in "The Grandmaster". And the most concrete and externalized image of the winter of their lives is snow. In "Love Letter", except for Fujii Shu's high school memories, it has been shrouded in ice and snow. In "The Grandmaster", Gong Er's father's loss, divorce, and revenge also happened on the Northeast Snow Plain.
But their winters of life, and their attitudes towards them, are very different. In "Love Letter", the death of the lover and the suspicion of love are the first layer of snow, which falls directly on Hiroko Watanabe's heart. This layer of snow related to love, falling on the Fujii tree, is a different taste, it is the moment when the door is opened, and the shy and surprised eyes of the young man in the snow are met. However, there is a deeper, thicker, colder layer of snow that indiscriminately covers them (and even everyone in the movie), and that is the shadow of death. Mr. Akiba said in the snow hut: If I wish I could leave the mountains, I would ......I was scared.
Hiroko and the others who were present fell silent for a while. Snow, on the other hand, is a madeleine cake that evokes Hiroko and Fujii's Proust effect on death. For Hiroko, it was her fiancé who died suddenly in the snowy mountains; For Fujii Shu, it was his father who missed the rescue time on a snowy night and died of illness. Snow and death are inseparable in their emotional memories; Death has also become one of the symbolic meanings of heavy snow in "Love Letters". When they walk in the snowy winter of life, they are actually walking in the question of death - how should we face death? "Love Letters" tells us the answer by recreating the process of death in the past. The opening of "Love Letters". Hiroko is lying on the endless snow, and there is a large area of black and white in the picture, as if it is the last ** left in the world. Hiroko, on the other hand, is trying to get close to death - holding her breath and experiencing the near-death feeling of her fiancé being choked by a snowy mountain through a physical experiment. The part where Fujii was carried to the hospital by his grandfather in the heavy snow coincided with the process before his father's illness and death. The same flu turned into a serious illness, the heavy snow closed the road and the ambulance could not drive in, and the grandfather (father) stubbornly had to brave the snow to carry the sick child to the hospital for rescue.
And this time, they all walked through the heavy snow, and the tragedy did not happen again: the bravery of the family allowed Fujii to escape the clutches of death; The instinct to survive made Hiroko breathe heavily in the next second. Shunji Iwai seems to be using this to express that he will live to die and live well. But watching the deceased Fujii tree (male) get "resurrected" through the memories and nostalgia of the two girls, Hiroko shouted "How are you" to the snowy mountain where her fiancé was buried, Fujii tree (female) looked at the frozen dragonfly in the snow and asked: Dad is dead, is it?
What Shunji Iwai wants to express more is a sentence from "Norwegian Wood": death is not the opposite of life, but eternal as a part of life. In other words, as long as it is not forgotten, death becomes another life, rooted in people's memory. And all this, only after experiencing the personal understanding of walking in the heavy snow (death), can we let go of it and usher in the spring of life. is different from the relief of "Love Letter", in "The Grandmaster", Gong Er chooses not to let go of the winter of life. Her last appearance was to practice boxing in the snow: the so-called big era is just a choice to go, or to leave me to choose to stay in the years that belong to me, that is my happiest day.
Her snow and cold winter have emotional wounds, family feuds, and national hatreds, but there are also family inheritance and past glory. At the end of the international version of "The Grandmaster", in addition to practicing boxing in the snow of Gong Er, Wong Kar-wai also added the practice of boxing in the snow when Gong Er was a girl, and the memory of his father and his martial arts.
What's more, she is Gong Ruomei. For plum blossoms fragrant from the bitter cold, winter is spring; Cold snow is the best fertilizer. Gong Ruomei, who said "I am the will of heaven", with her stubbornness and strength, in every cold and snow, she did her best to bloom and turn the cold winter into her home field. Funeral for his father in the snow, who stands in the way of killing whom. Avenge your father on a snowy night and get back what belongs to the Gong family.
Even though the gears of the times have rolled forward and sailed towards the new spring, Gong Ruomei, who is only one turn away, still chooses to retreat to her own piece of snow and sky. Gong Er's snow escapes from grand propositions such as history, politics, and society, and returns to life choices in a private narrative.
I talked about so much snow. Here's the problem. Are we just talking about snow? In classic costume dramas such as "The Desire of the Golden Branch", "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Step by Step", the snow is connected to the traditional aesthetics of Chinese macro. The snow in Japanese films such as "Love Letters" and "Snow Country" is connected to the will to die, reflecting the Japanese aesthetics of mourning. The snow in "The Grandmaster" is a winter that encompasses the times and individuals from the perspective of modernity, expressing a whispering author's retelling of the grand era, which has its own unique highlights. In last year's hit national drama "The Long Season", the audience must never forget the snow that traveled through time and space at the end, like sprinkling a late judgment of the times.
In this way, the snow that connects the language of scenery, love and whispers is not only beautiful? It is more durable, readable and chewy. However, in the internal entertainment with "Hengdian Snow Explosion Drama" as the marketing point, snow has become a seasoning in prefabricated dishes, which is specifically responsible for improving color and fragrance, which is thin and monotonous. Can this change the essence of domestic entertainment prefabricated dishes?
Is what the audience longs for really just snow falling in Hengdian? Share a story. During the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", after director Zheng Xiaolong saw the snow in Hengdian, he immediately arranged all the snow scenes in the play, and requested: "It must be passed, no one is allowed to make mistakes." ”
Aunt Jinxi's actor Sun Qian once said that she was filming barefoot at the time. Because the cloth shoes are stuck to the snow, and the other actors are already in place, the play is already moving. Between shouting to stop and holding on, she chose to kick her shoes away and shoot the whole scene barefoot on the snow.
Now looking back at the snow scene in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the stunning, meticulous and in place in it makes it hard to believe that this is the product of sudden and extreme situations. The snow scene and the character growth line are so nested, not only the snow is inseparable, but also the dedication of the actors, the scheduling of the director and the ingenuity of the screenwriter. None of these. No matter how beautiful and heavy the snow is, it is just a foam after all.
