The movie is called Happiness Express, and people who can express it are unhappy, so it is a false proposition whether from the movie story itself or from the clown express industry.
As a metaphor for starting a business, clown express is hard, cold and ridiculous, but it will have a sense of accomplishment and joy after success; The following stories are all metaphors of work. As long as you are enslaved, you lose. When life is enslaved by work, there will be more business trips, more infidelity, more fragile love and changeable marriages. This is a very serious social problem that this film wants to express.
How cruel it is to die suddenly at last. When happiness is just around the corner, when many careers have been pursued hard for most of my life, when I have given up so much for my job, when I have the courage to make the most important decision in my life, my life suddenly comes to an abrupt end because of something that has nothing to do with me. What does all this mean in front of me? ! This is another theme of this film: cherish. Cherish the present, if you die the next moment.
Comments on Happy Express (2): Happy Express Seven Movies tells people to cherish the happy story in front of them through the experience of a clown's express delivery. Director Li Guangjie's first electric shock has given an ordinary person and an ordinary career a deeper meaning.
Being able to embody a philosophy of life in just 30 minutes requires the director's control. Through the clown's express delivery of several tasks in one day, the theme of the film is sublimated to the level of understanding happiness and cherishing this value, which is the essence of microfilm. Judging from the shooting techniques, Li Guangjie used many novel and peculiar techniques, such as the use of deformed glass and the perspective in the cat's eye, which coincided with the character of the protagonist clown. He is full of longing and longing for the world, but he doesn't know much about it. The strong color contrast in the film, such as the clown's bright clothes and the darkness in the mourning hall, all show that the beauty of the past is like passing clouds, and it will disappear faster if it is not cherished.
Happiness Express not only tells people to cherish happiness, but also tells people how to express their love. A young couple, played by Ning and Du Chun, quarreled and escalated due to lack of communication. A timely letter from the clown resolved the relationship that was about to break up. It turned out that this was written by the husband to his wife in advance. Hearing this, the wife burst into tears and threw herself into her husband's arms. A minute ago, the smell of gunpowder vanished, and all tit-for-tat words were not as effective as this letter. At this time, the short film reflects the sincere communication between people. I'm not afraid of disgusting words, but I must express them sincerely.
It is not easy for a micro-film to carry such profound content, especially because there are not many dialogues between actors in the film, and most of them appear in the form of reading letters, which also requires high performance from actors. For Li Guangjie, who picked up the guide tube for the first time, the short film fully reflects his attitude towards the film, and he has a serious persistence from beginning to end, but his ignorance and curiosity about the film make the short film look cute.
Happy Express Comments (3): Happy Express only loves one person in its life. First of all, "love only one person in my life" is really a devastating sentence. Although the movie "Happiness Express" has brought the freshest wind of true love to the men and women who are unfaithful to their feelings, and although our perceptual concept agrees with the gentle and romantic story in the film, rational thinking will still burst into tears. Never marry a sick wife. If I had known it was so painful, I might as well not start. When you know you want to lose it, you'd better not have it. Movies are dreams woven by reality for pain, and poof, waking up from the dream is even more painful.
I hate dreaming sweet dreams. Of course, if you have a nightmare, you will cry. People, not like this, are fragile and hard, willful and arrogant. At least, when it is rational, it is blunt and arrogant when it is irrelevant. But the former singer Faye Wong once sang such a song, "Only this time, this time it's me, not anyone". The great god in charge of the emotional line must be the string lacking rationality, so when you have the illusion of liking someone, you can only be wrong again. Can't we turn back? Yes, but don't you feel sorry for it in the future? It's hard to be sure that this person is your destiny takes a hand. What if it is?
Unfortunately, Jin Ru, the protagonist of Taiwan Province Province in Happy Express, met his destiny takes a hand's 100% girl grandson at an early age. When you, my love, ride a bamboo horse, run in circles and throw your childhood. At the beginning, the purest' love' always stays at four o'clock in the afternoon, bright but not dazzling. There was a faint smell of plum in the air, and the soft light gently hit her shoulder, for fear of disturbing her, and the quiet music spread. The love of youth always belongs to the most beautiful picture in life, looking at everything through the shy and beautiful thin enough paper. The shooting is also almost gentle, for fear of disturbing all this. The fresh breeze of Taiwan Province movies, transparent glass bottles, exquisite wooden mailboxes, dazzling lanterns, and the most romantic secret base outside the blue house are all fantastic.
The youthful love in my student days will continue after many years and remain as pure as ever. However, one day, poof, there were not enough pieces of paper, but the whole planet of the good girl was blown over and the debris hurt the whole universe. Those problems that we once thought were still far away dragged stiffly in front of us and died. You can live forever at the age of seventeen? No, no matter how beautiful the sentence is, it can't stop people's fear of death and infinite desire for life. On the one hand, girls don't want to drag down boys. On the other hand, she didn't have the courage to live without him. The pain you face every day is only clear to you. Perhaps, even I don't have a clear mind to think about how painful I am.
Based on real life, Happiness Express tells the love, life and fate of two young men and women in Taiwan Province Province and Shanghai, and the plot is as delicate as Jing M.Guo's novels. Compared with similar youth films, films with diseases as the theme show more love and affection. Although leukemia has always been an old set that has been criticized, the love between men and women in Where Are You Going is an eternal tear. In the film, the wedding of Shanghai couple Xiangyang and Yule Mei Wei pushed this emotion to a climax. No matter whether she is rich or poor, whether she is healthy or unwell, he is willing to stay with her forever. Knowing that there is no road ahead, you still have to go to the end of the road.
Comments on Happiness Express (IV): The "black humor" about happiness is the second bomb of Sohu 7 series movies. Li Guangjie, a famous actor, doesn't play with camera language like Wang Xuebing, but he has made great efforts in film narration and black humor. The story is concise and clear, and the final ending is very unexpected. The combination of the definition of happiness and the sudden impact is impressive, and at the same time, he appreciates all kinds of unpleasant moments that are dull and trivial at present.
Strictly speaking, the narrative structure of Happiness Express is great, simple and clear, and there are many surprises that make people laugh and cry. However, it is a pity that director Li Guangjie seems to pay too much attention to the sculpture performance, especially the embarrassing details of Bao Beier. Although Bao Beier's performance does have a natural effect, it's a bit boring to watch too much. Fortunately, several jokes with strong black humor and the unexpected and powerful ending of the story are very shocking, showing Li Guangjie's unconventional personality and unique ideas in artistic expression.
The so-called happiness, for modern people who complain a lot, may have really become a luxury. Living in a stressful city and my humble but greedy mind prevent people from seeing and finding the happiness they really want. In fact, the idea that Happiness Express wants to convey is not so profound. Everyone knows it very well, but they often can't face up to their inner world. Through the process of delivering the courier three times, Bao Beier plays the clown courier, a small courier from the lowest level of society who can't face up to his feelings because of humility and cowardice, and finally gains a strong inner world. Although this idea is simple, it can effectively convey the simple world outlook of director Li Guangjie, which is very rare.
Of course, what impressed me the most was the ubiquitous black humor in the short film, and these ironic and sudden black humor jokes did not conflict with the simple and happy theme of the short film, but played a good role in setting off the theme of the short film from another angle. And the performances of several guest stars have increased the expressive force. In particular, the absurd "farewell style" that can almost be regarded as Song Jia's own, only a few strokes, a woman full of longing for love, affectionate but stubborn interpretation is perfect. Of course, director Li Guangjie didn't forget to arrange a super walk-on, an awkward expression and a slightly awkward gesture for himself here, so as to show his "adulterer" image incisively and vividly. The play is light and tasteful, coupled with his humorous "suicide note" that he will never forget until his death, which pushes the whole short film to a climax and finds the real hero-the clown messenger to pursue himself.
As for the darkest and humorous ending at the end of the short film, it is to remind the audience that in order to pursue their own happiness, in addition to courage, they need to start as soon as possible. In this society, any "sudden" may cause lifelong regret for you and your loved ones!
But if we can control the length of the film a little more, especially the ending, the long lyrics flashback can be simpler, and perhaps the sudden ending will leave a stronger shock and aftertaste for the audience!
Happiness Express Comments (5): It has nothing to do with happiness because life is more and more impetuous. I have refused to calm down and watch TV dramas, or even to watch movies for two hours.
I randomly ordered this micro-movie. Li Guangjie impressed me very much. It is surprising that he can direct this film. Actually, I'd rather see Bo Huang.
Clown messenger is a new profession. This kind of work requires high skin thickness and psychological quality, which makes it difficult for traditional people who follow the rules to imagine. But fortunately, there is a strong paint cover.
I hate watching movies related to love because they are all fake.
What are the chances that the girl selling steamed stuffed buns is so handsome and moving?
At this time, I will silently say that art comes from life and is higher than life.
Because it is impossible, it is attractive.
The clown began to deliver the courier and knocked on the customer's door from door to door. Perform unfamiliar steps.
My favorite part is the part where I wrote to Ning. Looking out from the cat's eye, the clown's face is somewhat deformed. There are only a pair of eyes under the paint on the face, which gives people a sense of reality. He listened to the couple quarreling in the corridor and stammered out the reason why men write letters to women. Read read, stopped, seems to be brewing emotions. Then I looked at his mouth in the cat's eye and went on reading with tears in my eyes.
I cried too.
So wronged.
The word happiness is abused. I'm numb.
A warm message and an understanding look are happiness. Sincerity is happiness.
You have to die in front of your lover to appreciate the person in front of you.
Yes, death is the most powerful footnote. The so-called tragedy is to show people a beautiful destruction. Then I will destroy you.
Life is the greatest happiness. Everything you've been through is a gift from God.
Comments on "Expressing Happiness" (6): The absurd farewell style of "Expressing Happiness" has been praised, and the sadness and joy have been appreciated in laughter and tears. Throughout the movie, the farewell style of the funeral makes people laugh and cry. In an old cinema, a special memorial service is being held. A young man is lying quietly on the bed in the center of the stage. Song Jia Jr. plays the widow with a sad face. Then the clown came in funny, and everyone was surprised. It turned out that this was a special "gift" arranged by Xiao Qi, Song Jia's little husband, before he died. According to Seven's wishes, the clown danced first, which was particularly inappropriate at the solemn funeral scene. Song Jia Jr. interrupted the clown's dance with a frown and asked the clown to read the suicide note of Seven directly, which was the beginning of "in distress situation".
I cried because Xiaoqi's belated declaration of love, the ticket stub album he deliberately kept, and his "I love you" between the lines. Although he died, he thought of his wife Li Jie. Laugh, because even if this person dies, he will never forget his humor. Let the joyful clown come to the sad funeral to read his will and dance to enliven the atmosphere. However, this smile slowly changed its taste, and the words of comfort were overwhelming, making people cry and speechless. What a pity! It's too late to say I love you!
Express Happiness (7) Comments: Express Happiness tells a story about cherishing happiness, starring a new generation of Qiong Yao girl Jenny and a powerful young Bowman Bell. In the play, Bao Beier plays a clown-shaped messenger. In the trailer, you can see clowns riding electric bicycles in the city. In the background of black and white as the main color, the clown's colorful coat and face become more and more prominent.
The picture flashed by, many faces and different stories. There are too many scenes in the short 50-second trailer, which makes people have the impulse to find out: Why is the clown kicked to the ground by another clown? At the wedding, why were clowns strangled and slapped? Why does the man played by Du Chun curse the clown with his expression? What is Song Jia Jr. solemnly saying to the clown? Why does Li Guangjie look so sad? Jenny smiled and held out her hand. What is she doing ... Everything is strange.
Comments on "Happy Express" (8): "Happy Express": After watching "Happy Express" in this way, the microfilm cried a lot of tissues.
With the help of the platform of new media, microfilm is heating up rapidly, and a large number of works aiming at brand and product promotion have appeared. Their length usually ranges from a few minutes to more than ten minutes. At the same time, not many people left a deep impression on me after reading it. In contrast, Happy Express is a "big" movie.
The reason why it is "big" is that it has a strong creative background, and the producers are China Film and Sohu. As a creative platform, the former fully integrates resources to ensure the shooting level; The latter, with its powerful promotion platform, is enough to attract more audiences. In addition, the first publication of "Happiness Express" also made people have more expectations for the brand of "7 movies".
Secondly, Happiness Express is a "large" micro-movie, and the length of 35 minutes is not short in the micro-movie. Although it is told from beginning to end from the first perspective of 60 1 courier, it is all-encompassing, and the world in life is panoramic. It tells the story of ordinary people, which is very grounded, while the general micro-film has a narrow perspective and is limited to the production cost.
As far as the film itself is concerned, Happy Express also presents various characteristics of micro-movies.
The first "micro" is that it is not a portrayal of life at the scale of 1: 1, but more like a micro-movie. The length of 35 minutes can't be made into a film of 100 minutes, so the director compressed the story context and narrative form. This film tells a very simple story. Courier 60 1 loves the girl in the steamed stuffed bun shop opposite. During his day's express delivery work, he encountered several things, which gave him the courage to confess to this girl after work. In the narrative, a relatively simple and straightforward narrative is adopted, and there are no dazzling fragments. These are two things that are usually taboo in a big movie, but they undoubtedly play a positive role in Happy Express. It allows the audience to fully and smoothly interpret what the director wants to express and absorb it well. Speaking of which, I think of my chopsticks brothers' youth old boys 1 1 degree. I believe that many viewers can not only remember the emotions aroused at that moment after reading it.
The second "micro" is to pay attention to some insignificant grassroots. We are taught that "only the social division of labor is different, and there is no distinction between high and low", so let this argument go to hell! This society is divided into three classes. Bao Beier's role is undoubtedly at the bottom of society. He took a small income and carefully protected his self-esteem. Being bullied and laughed at by colleagues in the company, being beaten and scolded by customers outside. He is the representative of the most difficult person in life. The ideal and pursuit of his life is the girl in the steamed stuffed bun shop, but the girl was also set as deaf by the director.
What really doesn't matter is love, conscience and other things from the heart. At the same time, these things are projected by the humble people above, but they can give people great touches. The rapid transformation of "Happy Express" from black humor to touching will make even the strongest people hard to resist. The film's interpretation of love is also quite unique, consisting of three sketches, namely, before marriage, after marriage and the intervention of a third party. They all have their own pains, which reflect the true colors of love.
The third "micro" is the down-to-earth and down-to-earth creative attitude of many people. After all, Happiness Express is just a micro-movie. It's excellent, and I can't pick out any serious injuries, which is enough to make many viewers feel ashamed of this movie that can only be seen by buying tickets, but it's excellent and not out of line. It tells the simple story of ordinary people, without pursuing Gao Daquan or special effects. As the first director, Li Guangjie, this is the restraint brought by a normal heart; As the protagonist, Bao Beier is a surprise. This humble character doesn't even have a name, only a code name of 60 1, but his energy made me burst into tears several times. This role is much more meaningful than the top teenager in Painting the Wall.
I believe "Happiness Express" will play a positive demonstration role in the whole field of micro-movies. One day, the audience will come back. A big-screen movie with 70 to 80 yuan is better than sitting in front of a computer and watching it on the subway with a mobile phone for half an hour. I really think so anyway.
Happiness Express Comments (9): Happiness cannot be delivered by express delivery. This is a movie that people can watch quietly. For 30 minutes, I sat in front of the computer and quietly followed the clown through various representative buildings in a modern metropolis-sparsely populated squares, tall buildings with glass curtain walls, wide streets with few pedestrians and bright lights, ancient city walls, small streets with steamed stuffed bun shops, overpasses and culverts, churches, communities and culverts. . . . .
The lens is simple and clean, the background color along the way is monotonous and cold, the clown is thin and weak, the clothes, cars and gifts are gorgeous and bright, and he walks through the modern desolate urban scene alone. . . . .
Electric bicycle express is the main line of the whole drama. As the wheels go straight, the director takes the audience to three main scenes: the wedding church, the husband and wife room in the community and the theater, and unfolds the plot of three small units. There was a big conflict at the wedding scene because of the wrong gift, and the quarreling couple made up because of the express delivery of love. My late husband's last words were full of regret and love, which caused great emotional waves for his widow.
Three short paragraphs, plain, calm, humorous and dramatic, make people laugh sometimes and ridicule sometimes. Emotional people will cry when they read the suicide note (that is really a tear spot).
Three paragraphs tell us and the clown in the play: 1, people's love is fragile, men are under great pressure, even at the wedding, you can't give a gift by mistake; 2. Love needs confession. Express confession is not a romantic surprise, and the happiness of the rest of your life depends on yourself. Otherwise, what if the next courier comes late? 3, love needs to be maintained, happiness should be cherished, and the touching confession on the suicide note will not slip away if it is said and done early.
When the film arrives here, the emotional waves in people's hearts have been set off because of the tone, rhythm and the suppression of three small bridges. However, the director's narration is still relatively restrained. Ning's crying and Song Jia's crying were restrained, and Song Jia's embrace also deliberately suppressed the audience's feelings.
Isn't it a little too depressing? All right. At this time, the director found the breakthrough point of emotional generation. Passers-by said, "it's too late if you don't go." If Bao Beier the Clown wakes up after a day's experience, he should tell the girl he loves immediately, otherwise it will be too late. At this moment, the music started, "Say I love you loudly. . . Without hesitation. . . The song "Try Your Best" is directly sensational, telling the true meaning of bravely pursuing love, and pushing the film to a climax. The clown bravely and cheerfully pushed back to courtship, and the emotions in the audience were vented, and they felt much more comfortable, expecting a beautiful, warm and moving feeling to be presented.
However, the director is Li Guangjie, an old post-80s actor who is famous for his calmness and maturity. Many people expected that he would not give us a happy ending like this: "All shall be well, jack shall have Jill, and the prince and princess live happily together". Sure enough, when Bao Beier gave Jenny the movie ticket, he was hit by a car when he went back to wash his face happily. The truck came too suddenly, and people's emotions were once again condensed and tragic.
Is it over? Although such dramatization can abuse the hearts of the audience, it is not surprising to many people, as if something is missing. So, at the end of the film, the director asked Bao Beier to continue to happily wash away the oil stains on his face, and asked him to silently help Sargam write down the menu for the new day, so that he could change from a humble little person who was bullied, lightly trained and not entertained to a handsome young man with a sunny smile and health. As a result, he guarded his love as happily and peacefully as Seven, because he expressed his love and blessed his beloved without any regrets. . .
Then, we saw couples walking peacefully and happily. We heard that ordinary people in real and vivid life expressed their understanding of happiness while thanking the subtitles for their slow introduction. It was so simple and beautiful. At this time, we found that, just like the finishing touch, the city with a cold gray tone just presented to the audience became bright and vivid. We watched the last subtitle quietly, and our hearts were full of emotion, sadness and feeling.
Does it give birth to a feeling of cherishing and grasping love and happiness? It doesn't really matter. As long as you can watch this short film quietly and touch it, the film is a success.
On the whole, the narrative style, the use of lens, the mastery of tone and rhythm, and the design of the bridge section of Li Guangjie's film are all well-behaved, ingenious, quiet and noisy, and solidly express his understanding of happiness, love and the city, and care and respect for the little people, which can be called a sincere work.
With a film length of 30 minutes, a shooting period of 7 days, limited funds and the original director, it is surprising that Li Guangjie can tell us such a meaningful and meaningful story in his way. Being a sincere person and doing meaningful things, I believe Li Guangjie will bring us more surprises.
Let's go
