Analysis of the movie "Chinese Partner"

Focus: inspirational youth film

Chen Kexin is a director who insists on finding the source of the topic from reality. Whether it is "Sweet Honey" or "If Love", although his stories are all fictional, it seems that the prototype of the story can be found. From ordinary people to business tycoons, from star artists to athletes, he integrated his feelings about life into the narrative expression of the film, just like telling stories to old friends, showing the vicissitudes and changes of the years. Take The Chinese Partner (20 12) as an example to talk briefly.

Narrator As the saying goes, the lives of three women. So what do people expect to see when three men appear in a group? The first is talent. Although boss Yu doesn't agree that this is an adaptation of his story, there are too many coincidences with his experience in the film. The audience will unconsciously associate and change, and the partners will do their best, which not only won the double recognition of life and career, but also aroused the emotional recognition of the audience. Second, personality. The connection and disconnection between people is based on the difference and complementarity of personality. In the process of creating characters, the film takes family background as an endorsement, establishes personality files, and paves the way for the final conflict. Talent and personality are like a silk thread, which connects the plots in series. No matter the emotional life of the characters or the hardships of starting a business, we can find reasonable narrative support.

Desire. Chen Kexin's films always gently force reality. Although his pictures are sunny, warm, simple and romantic, there is a sense of urgency lingering in the daily life of the characters. For example, Cheng (Huang Xiaoming) is reading, and suddenly he goes after girls. The contrast between cold and arrogant girls and ignorant boys seems to say that time is fleeting, and if you don't catch people, you will be gone. For example, teaching is just right, and then running out to earn extra money. It seems to say that life is too short to make money while you are young. For example, enterprises have done a lot of work and are suddenly ready to go public. As if to say, life is a race track, so keep going, lest you miss it if you stop. Desire spurs people, just like this movie, just like Sweet Honey and If Love. Therefore, if you want to mine in realistic themes, you have to learn how Chen Dao grinds people's hearts.

Metz, the narrator of film theorist, said: "The film language is always just a language, not a language system", so "there is no image dictionary in the world". Film language has become the transmission of directors' thoughts, and its diversity has become an important symbol to distinguish directors' styles. For example, narration, the dialogue in this film is not wonderful. When Dong Qing failed in the face-to-face interview, the commentator said, "He would never have thought that after 20 years, what I am best at is helping people to the United States." Of course, Chen Kexin's narrative-assisted narrative is not a pure means of expression, at least it is not thorough enough compared with Bresson (see Diary of a Village Pastor).
