◎ Synopsis: The watermark-free version of 3E Empire

Enzhu (Chunming), who was troubled by her mother's illness and her girlfriend's pregnancy, had an accident on the expressway and got lost in an unknown forest. I met the girl Ying Ji (Shen Enjing), who took me to a beautiful house described in a fairy tale. Ying Ji's brother Wanfu (Yin Yuanzhai), his sister Zhenshun (Chen Zhixi) and her parents live in the house. Enxiu agreed to stay for only one night, and set off again the next day to find his destination, but still returned to the house. Helpless, he could only stay temporarily, but one day, the child's parents left a letter saying that they had something urgent to go out to Seoul. The strange food and the mysterious behavior of the children made Eun-soo feel more and more uneasy. I didn't know the real identity of the child until I bumped into the "mom and dad" who said that she had gone to Seoul in the attic. Enxiu, who wants to escape from this "home", tried everything, but always failed. Finally, he found a fairy tale book with his own story, which has the only way to leave this forest. ...

Comment in a word:

In the past, the children in the classic Japanese "Curse" series, Hollywood "Rebirth" and China's "Huaqiang, Honglian" were only used as props for adults' horror imagination, but this film gives people the feeling that it is a terrible story when children's hearts are hurt in the real sense.

◎ behind-the-scenes production:

In Hansel and Gretel written by the German brothers Grimm at the beginning of the19th century, the plot of killing the mother and abusing the child was originally an anomaly in fairy tale literature. 2 1 century, will be resurrected by dark fantasy. The original fairy tale tells that a witch lures a hungry child to a cookie house, while this movie tells that a child who is eager to be cared for leads an adult who is lost in the forest into the house, hoping that the adult can treat himself as an adult from now on. The film borrows the structure of the original fairy tale, but the implication develops in a completely different trend. Pil-Sung Yim, the director, said that this film is to show the pain that children experience when they are growing up, and it is expressed in a horrible image, which is in sharp contrast with selfish adults who just want to be loved in times of crisis. When the innocence of children is ruthlessly destroyed by adults, the anger of the former is chilling, and the "terror" derived from this deformed ecology is exactly what the film wants.

Director: Pil-Sung Yim

Although The Antarctic Diary, which took five years to produce, suffered a box office fiasco last year, Pil-Sung Yim still has a constant love for movies. Called "a gentle and rebellious fat man" by director Feng Junhao, his talent is recognized in the circle. On the basis of modifying the script written by Uncle Jin Min (Holovitz's screenwriter), he personally completed the script of this film. Pil-Sung Yim, who "wants to make a warm movie, but suffers from no good realistic theme", admits that he automatically reduced the extremes of the movie for the sake of the market, hoping that the movie would be easy to understand and arouse the audience's reflection. As a cruel adult fairy tale like TheTwilightZone, he does not deny the tragic ending. I have considered giving the script to someone else to direct before, but I still think that I can express my meaning best with my own hands. Hansel and Gretel subverts the viewpoint and orientation of traditional horror movies, and it is a sincere work when adults lose their innocence, that is, their judgment on life.

Beauty finger: Liu Chengxi

In the fairy tale world, there is a strange atmosphere, bizarre, childish, but horribly unconstrained style. Just like Peter Pan's Neverland, it is a paradise for children, but it is a nightmare of mysterious reincarnation for adults. Liu Chengxi, a former producer and designer of memories of murder, old boys and Monster, is responsible for the setting planning of this film. Around the aesthetic center of "deformed innocence in fairy tales after childlike innocence is destroyed", all the toys loved by loveless children are bought back at low prices, which reflects the common practical needs, and the art team modifies them by itself: dolls with lost ears, rabbits with blood on their skirts, etc. The inspiration for making wallpaper patterns with rabbit as the main line with strong Gothic contrast comes from American fairy tale writer MauriceSendak. Even food is full of children's unbridled imagination: green cakes, red jelly, blue soup ... are gorgeous and chic at first glance, which is taken for granted in children's eyes, but adults are more and more horrified when they see it: "When the ferocious and strange feeling permeates into simple fairy tales, this unnatural feeling is just reflected." In order to cooperate with the overall aesthetic concept of "winter horror fantasy" set by the director, Liu Chengxi had to complete all the scenes in cold weather. The interior and exterior of the house were built in Busan and Jeju Island respectively, which revealed a sense of chaos and desolation in cleanliness. Despite challenging the new style, Liu Chengxi stressed that the horror of this film comes from the children themselves, and all the settings are to better set off the atmosphere and stimulate the actors' performances.

Photography: Ji-yong Kim

Ji-yong Kim is known as the "golden signboard" of Korean film circle, and almost all Korean blockbusters want to ask him to be a photography director. After the famous work "Sweet Life" won the best photography award of the Qinglong Award in that year, the plot of "Scholar" in 2006 was criticized to pieces, but his superb photography skills still won recognition. "The naughty appearance of innocent children and the mental state of Chunzhengming's fear of words should be perfectly reflected from the perspective of dark light contrast and photography-Director Lin's requirements are too harsh, so I can only do my best." Modest Ji-yong Kim bluntly failed to meet the director's high requirements and how to be evaluated by the audience.

Music: Li Bingyu

Huaqiang, Honglian, Scandal, Wang Man, Monster ... If you are a loyal follower of Korean movies, you must be infected by the emotional music in these movies, and the producer of these music is Li Bingyu. Like Ji-yong Kim, he is also a frequent visitor to major film awards and music awards. In this movie, you can enjoy his innocent and magical soundtrack.

◎ tidbits:

This film may be the last film before Chun Zhengming's military service, so it has attracted much attention from all sides. He plays Enxiu, who strays into the home of three children in the forest in order to find her missing mother, and finally becomes the only adult who can walk out of the forest. As a witness, the horror and fright of this film is also from his perspective, and his emotional acting largely determines whether the whole film can successfully scare off the audience, thus conveying "warmth in the cold" to the audience. Qin Zhengming is recognized as an acting actor in the industry, but he works as hard as any newcomer. In order to shoot the scene of waking up after an unexpected coma in the film, I/kloc-didn't sleep for 0/2 hours and didn't show fatigue. On the way, I carefully picked up the dropped props and tidied them up. This detail made the staff present sigh. He thought he had an eye disease, accounting for more than 90% of the shots in the film, which delayed the filming process for about a week. So from the press conference held in the middle of filming to the recent interview with reporters, he still mentioned that he was sorry for this, which shows his professional attitude. I didn't see two-thirds of Chunzhengming in horror movies before, but I didn't expect to get attached to this movie. The hero can bring the same fear and empathy to the audience, which is the key to the success of the thriller, and the acting skills brought by Chun Zhengming, who has been "scared", are more real.

Pil-Sung Yim smiled and said that he was not following the trend. "Fox, what are you doing?" On the contrary, he once found Quan Zhengming to be a boy with a little shy temperament in a variety show: "I think his appearance is soft and not aggressive to children, so it is easier to interpret the emotion that Enxiu is the children's' physical and mental partner' in the film."

In order to shoot this film, Quan Zhengming persisted despite his finger injury, and admitted that he didn't like children at first and began to get along with several children, feeling a little unnatural. But as the days passed, the relationship between them became closer and closer, which naturally changed the original idea and showed the hope that my sister would get married and have children as soon as possible-realizing the wish of being an uncle. During filming, he was often teased by Shen Enjing and Chen Zhixi's practical jokes and played chess with Yuan Zaien. He mentioned that he was moved by the little actor's willpower and acted in the best spirit in the middle of the night like an adult. Quan Zhengming's football, baseball, gymnastics and other sports with the children once enlivened the atmosphere of the studio, and people who didn't know it thought it was a joke. I don't know if it's really so weird, or if it's promoting "example cards." Like the previous horror movies, this movie heard the news of hell on the set: Quan Zhengming revealed that when shooting in Jeju Island, he vaguely saw an old man walking slowly to the beach on the balcony, and other staff members had the same experience. Both true and false are good, which adds a "gloomy" atmosphere to the film.

Anyone can break into the dense forest ...'

A secret of breaking into the jungle, it exists in that corner and slowly grows and germinates. More and more secrets. Some people say that secrets are always secrets, but they are perfect. However, there are so many imperfections in the world that the perfect things look dazzling.

Deep in the forest, there is a wooden house with warm lights and bright surface. My parents, brothers, sisters and my family live happily together. The room is full of lovely dolls and endless doughnuts and cakes. This is a paradise for children. One day, someone broke the secret and things were discovered. That is the children's dream, and the beautiful fairy tales made up by children, just as they always believe that the ending of the prince and princess will always be happy. No one told them it was just a fabricated lie, because they were children and they had the right to fantasize about perfection. Once you break into this dense forest, it's hard to get out. This is a paradise for children, but it is a nightmare of mysterious reincarnation for adults. The protagonist enters their lives and witnesses the continuation of the story and the result of the matter. He tried to leave this dense forest and know more and more things. Soon, things really pieced together bit by bit. They are not as happy as they seem.

This house used to be an orphanage, but this paradise is actually a hell. They are kept as dogs, beating and cursing at will. Without food, I have to endure any insults. It is completely colorless. It's no use crying for mercy. The ugly face of the director of the orphanage makes people sick. How could such an innocent child do such a heavy hand? Santa Claus once said that you can get everything you imagine. Really, they did, and then these children who were eager to be taken care of began to introduce the adults who got lost in the forest into their homes, hoping that the adults would treat themselves as their own children from now on.

Hansel and Gretel, written by the German brothers Grimm at the beginning of19th century, is a rare story in fairy tales. Now this horror film, which is also covered with fairy tales, is very scary, but it is also very touching. It expresses the pain of children without adult care in a horrible way, hoping that people can better understand their hearts. Children's endurance is much weaker than that of adults, and what adults think is good will be magnified countless times in their hearts. So their abuse will increase indefinitely. Children are actually very fragile and want more after losing so much, so this story will happen.

This is an innocent horror movie ... not a traditional horror movie, it will make people cry. They should just be innocent children. Although they have no parents, they are also blessed children. The children said that as long as we imagine, there is everything here. Children's childhood should not be destroyed, and every life is beautiful. Psychologists say that to destroy a person, we must first destroy his childhood. It can be seen how much attention should be paid to children's childhood. What they want is not difficult. As long as you care more about them, they will be very happy. They should be happy.

Smiling belongs to children. ...
