Brief introduction and detailed information of gun search

Synopsis Mashan is an ordinary policeman in a small town in the southwest mountainous area. He has a pistol and carries it with him all day. Although he never used it, he knew that the town was peaceful because of him and his pistol. When I woke up one morning, Mashan found the pistol missing. Looking at the empty holster, Mashan's spirit almost collapsed. There are three bullets in his gun, and he knows that the man who stole the gun wants to kill people.

Looking for a gun stills Mashan carefully recalled the scene of the night before. When his sister got married, he was drunk and sent home. For a time, all the people who attended the wedding became his suspects. Mashan is like an anxious ghost, walking around every corner of the town, looking at everyone around him with suspicious eyes. Liu, who sells "mutton powder", did not stutter when he saw Mashan, which left a doubt in Mashan's heart.

Through careful investigation, Mashan found the owner Zhou Xiaogang who sent him home that day. To Mashan's surprise, it was his lover Annabel Lee who opened the door more than ten years ago. Annabel Lee fell in love with Mashan, but left without saying goodbye. Now he's back and living in Zhou Xiaogang's house. What the hell is going on? The appearance of Annabel Lee made the case more complicated. His complex feelings for Annabel Lee are intertwined with his suspicion of losing his gun, and Mashan's wife, a primary school teacher, thinks Mashan feels the same way and doesn't understand him. Then one night, Annabel Lee was suddenly killed in Zhou Xiaogang's home, and the killing tool was the gun that Mashan lost. Mashan was detained on suspicion of the murder of Annabel Lee. His quiet family life was also broken, and his eight-year-old son and wife were in fear and worry.

Mashan overcame the extreme mental stress and the heavy load that there were two bullets in the gun, and two or more people might die. In his cell, he calmly analyzed that the murderer was coming for Zhou Xiaogang, while Annabel Lee was killed by mistake and died for Zhou Xiaogang. The impact of the bullet confirmed his analysis and Mashan was released. Finally, he found a fake dimple in Zhou Xiaogang, but the gun didn't fall. Pay attention to Zhou Xiaogang, and the murderer will come to Zhou Xiaogang. Mashan wore Xiaogang's clothes last week and started to go out as Zhou Xiaogang. As expected, the murderer appeared and shot him.

It turned out that Liu stuttered when he stole the gun. He hated Zhou Xiaogang for making fake wine and killing his relatives, so he took a stupid and extreme method and shot him dead. Facing the dark muzzle, Mashan suddenly realized that if no one was killed again, the bullet in the gun had only one destination, and that was his own body. He searched for the gun for 14 days. This is the result he wants and the only way to remedy his mistake. He struggled and shouted, forcing his stutter to shoot him again. At the same time, Mashan handcuffed the murderer to himself. Mashan's soul flew away from his body. He stood up from a pool of blood with tears in his eyes, but smiled at the distance.

Background of behind-the-scenes production and creation

Lu Chuan, who graduated from the Film Academy, was assigned to the Northern Film Factory. I rented a house in Madian and started writing the script "Looking for a Gun". Judging from the quality of the film, Looking for a Gun is far from excellent. However, the progress of the film and the story behind it inspired film lovers. As the author of the film notes said, the significance of Looking for a Gun and Lu Chuan is that it is "a watershed, representing a group of young people who have been influenced by DVD and began to knock on the door of mainstream movies outside the strict production system".

Shoot a clip

While editing and looking for a gun, Lu Chuan began to realize Jiang Wen's help to himself, although it was painful to cooperate with Jiang Wen. There is no right or wrong in the movie, only you and me. At that time, Lu Chuan was covered in blood and struggled desperately. He thinks this is his own book, and he can't make decisions in his own home. Sometimes defeated, sometimes can capture a city and a half pool.

Third session

Chinese Film Media Award for Best Film Lu Chuan Award for Best Actor Jiang Wen Award for Best Debut Chinese Film Media Award for Best Chinese Film Media Award for Best Chinese Film Media Award for Audience Vote for Best Eye-catching Actor Jiang Wen Award for Best Director Lu Chuan's nomination for film criticism implies an ambiguous theme, which gives the theme to a story of a border town policeman who lost his gun and looked for it. "Gun" represents responsibility, morality, power and men's sexual ability. The police lost so many things in Mashan, which was very troublesome. They racked their brains to find them.

There is also a scene of a policeman chasing a thief in Mashan in Looking for a Gun, but the transportation here has improved, especially cycling. This scene is personally satisfied by director Lu Chuan. Different levels and angles are full of humor, and the lens language is also full of charm. The landform reflected in Looking for a Gun, a quiet and tidy Guizhou town with steep terrain, is not only a visual spectacle, but also a special image modeling language. Its deep paths and ancient houses naturally blend into the narrative and become important narrative elements. The music of the film is messy and diverse, which is a powerful annotation to the restless form of the whole film and the release of the original life. After the director carefully considered revising the ending, the regret still lies in the weakness of the ending. Exaggerated narrative is everywhere, and a weak and secret result makes everything illusory. Maybe the director didn't express himself fully for various subjective and objective reasons. Anyway, what we see is the expression of a young director, a noisy but meaningful form. (Sina. com)？

Negative evaluation

Always say "imitation" and avoid using the word "plagiarism". There are two aspects to the understanding of literary works. One is its explicit structure, which is the framework of the story. Looking for a Gun and Wild Dog are both "looking for a gun", which are obviously similar; But from the hidden structure, such as the specific layout of the story and the deductive process of "looking for a gun", the two are not the same. This is the same framework, different contents and different ideas. An excellent artist should try to avoid what his predecessors have expressed or used in his works. If you are making a popular thing, imitation may be inevitable, but if you really want to make a work of art, you must have a very calm mind when creating.
