How about a shovel sonata?

This is a film about Miao people in China (Miao Hua). In the past, many films about Miao nationality were made, with various contents. So, what kind of film is the Miao film Sonata in Shovel? This is a film about Miao songs in Jingzhou, Hunan. Song Ghost is a unique folk song form of Miao people in Li Qiao, Jingzhou, Hunan. I have always thought that the so-called Songgui is actually a natural movement for Miao people living in the deep mountains to get along with nature for a long time. Therefore, our movies are also telling the story of people getting along with nature and singing at the same time. This film took place in the Miao area of Li Qiao, Jingzhou, at the junction of Hunan and Guizhou today. Like other people in the stockade, the Pan family, the protagonist, originally lived a quiet life, and it became their greatest pleasure to get together and sing after dinner every day. However, the construction of a highway completely disrupted their lives. With the encouragement of the government, they will bid farewell to life in the mountains and move to towns. Next, the whole family left, only the Pan family stayed at the insistence of her mother-in-law, and of course the soul of the seventh uncle in the village. Two years later, the expressway was opened, and the ancient Miao village became a well-known folk village because of singing. Tourists from all over the world are attracted by the natural scenery deep in the mountains, and singing makes them want to go back and forth-character analysis Pan Pan is the protagonist in the film. She is not only beautiful and kind, but also thrifty, filial to her mother-in-law, and good to her dumb brother Wu Xuela. In fact, in addition to the above characteristics, Pan's identity in the film also has emotional entanglements with two men. One is Liang Sanjin, who builds roads, and the other is Wu Xuela, her husband's brother, who is mute. It seems to be expected that Liang Sanjin fell in love with Pan, because after the death of her husband Wu Xuegui, Liang Sanjin has been quietly helping and has a good impression on this tall and simple man. So in the film, it is understandable that they love each other and finally come together silently. The audience not only has no objection, but will send warm wishes. However, Wu Xuela's feelings for her sister-in-law Qiu Zi are not clearly explained in the film, and they are looming. This is not only constrained by morality, but also reflects an irresistible real strength of the weak. Wu Xuela's love for her sister-in-law Qiu Zi may not win applause from the audience. However, when Wu Xuela expresses her restrained and innocent feelings for her sister-in-law Qiu Zi in her own unique way, it is also the light of human nature. The relationship between Qiu Zi and Wu Xuela constitutes the motive force of film narration. 2. Wu Xuela set Wu Xuela as mute, mainly for two reasons. The first is the need for Wu Xuela's weak image in the film; The second is to use silence to resist the cruelty of reality. Although Wu Xuela is a weak person in the film, he doesn't want to be arranged by fate. He often helps Qiu Zi do housework, and he is not afraid to go to the construction site to make money, especially after his brother left. He consciously shouldered the burden of family with Qiu Zi. The appearance of Liang Sanjin made Wu Xuela instinctively enter a state of preparedness and resistance. First of all, it reflects family insecurity. The intervention of an outsider gave an uneasy signal to the originally harmonious family. Then, the emotional development between Liang Sanjin and Qiu Zi directly hurt Wu Xuela's innocent feelings for her sister-in-law Qiu Zi. Therefore, in the film, Wu Xuela has always regarded Liang Sanjin as an opponent and is full of hostility. Until the end, Wu Xuela could only take revenge on Liang Sanjin. Of course, at the end of the film, Wu Xuela paid the price of her life to save people, which is also counted as Wu Xuela's atonement for herself, thus gaining the sympathy and understanding of the audience. The birth of Sheila's son Ge Gui indicates the continuation of Wu Xuela's life. At the same time, Wu Xuela also has the image of fighting for national interests. Laugh at her mother, who is nearly seventy years old, and is a staunch supporter of Miao culture. She passed on the excellent Miao culture with her singing voice. She doesn't want to leave her home. She longed for Wu Xuela to have a home, but she realized her wish to be a mother. Therefore, although Xiao Niang is an ordinary Miao singer, she has her own unique views on life and life. Xiao Niang can't speak Chinese in the film. More often, she silently observed around. When the seventh uncle committed suicide and left his soul in Miao village, Xiao Niang's calmness was awe-inspiring In addition, Xiao Niang had a dream for Qiu Zi after her death and named Sheila's son Ge Gui, which once again expressed the expectation of the previous generation of Miao people for the next generation to continue their national culture. Although these details are small, they are enough to complete the shaping of the image of Xiao Niang. Xiao Niang finally left, completing the old and new alternation of a generation of Miao people. However, in the inheritance and evolution of Miao culture, it may become more important because of the departure of Uncle Xiao Niang. 4. Liang Sanjin Liang Sanjin is from Shandong in the play. Shandong is the hinterland of Chinese culture. His identity not only represents the long-standing Yellow River civilization, but also is influenced by Confucianism. Therefore, Liang Sanjin's appearance in Miao village deep in the mountains is tantamount to the arrival of new modern civilization from abroad. When Qiu Zi gradually liked Liang Sanjin and finally married him, we also saw the irresistible possibility of minority culture under the influence of strong Han culture. Liang Sanjin is excellent, diligent and considerate, and devoted to Qiu Zi. Although he was injured by studying, he won the love of Qiu Zi. At the end of the film, Liang Sanjin is leisurely in the supermarket in Miao village, and he becomes the hero of the new Miao village. No one will question his identity. The integration of open Miao nationality and Miao-Chinese culture may be the only way out for the development of ethnic minorities. But on this road, the inheritance of minority culture is particularly important. Style Regarding the style of this film, I want to regard it as a film with prose characteristics and complete the continuation of life in its lush green barrier. When we tell the chosen story in the nature where we have no choice, maybe we can only record it with our eyes and cannot change it. Aesthetic, true, avoid making and carving. Implicit, introverted and caring. Language photography: let the lens be like our enlarged eyes, take pictures of the life of Miao people in the film from multiple lenses and perspectives, turn the feelings hidden in the depths of green into our images, and capture the breath of people and nature! Big scenes, even wide angles, will be the theme of our movies. The camera will freeze life and then look for people's inner world. Fixed long lens and moving long lens will reflect the characteristics of our image style. Track, small rocker arm and other photographic auxiliary equipment should be skillfully used, and it is forbidden to move for the sake of movement. It should be a reasonable move. Recording: Folk songs themselves are the sounds of nature, so it is very important to deal with the sound highly. On the premise of not losing the truth of life, creatively exert the imagination of the sound recorder and hand over the natural sound to you. Amplification is not to exaggerate the sound, but to recreate a new sound. Art: Green is the main tone, which is cleverly matched with the colors of Miao costumes, making people feel bright and dazzling. Make-up: beautify people as much as possible and make yourself as fresh and clean as nature. Clothing: We took a photo of Huamiao this time. Huamiao's clothes are the most beautiful, so we should pay attention to collocation, which can make people feel the strangeness and beauty of Huamiao. At the same time, everyone's clothes in the film are as decent and tidy as possible. Props: national, modern and original, with the mysterious habits of the oldest Miao people and a rich and varied sense of modernity. There is a lot of choice, so we should respect life and artistic lighting: there are not many night scenes, and the tone is mainly warm colors. Pay attention to freehand brushwork and assist photography to establish the style of this film. Most of the actors in this performance are non-professional actors, so try to guide them to play themselves in the performance, and don't let them be divorced from themselves and don't know what to say. In terms of language, Miao language is the main language, so don't chew words repeatedly in Mandarin, in case it backfires. Miao dialogue is a major feature of our minority films, so we must pay attention to accuracy and never make up for it. Actors should communicate with each other, get familiar with the characters as soon as possible and enter the plot. All departments should help actors to complete their roles as soon as possible. In short, when I am passionate about shooting this Miao film, I hope that everyone can be as passionate as me and create miracles in this poetic green season. Finally, thank those who know how to do it. It is your wise and regretless choice that brings our excellent team together again, and our national film dream sets sail again. Thank you for your trust!
