Why did Chen Kaige's part in "My Motherland and Me" receive bad reviews?

Because he is telling stories and applying templates to sensationalize them. For film and television works, you can make them beautiful, grand, colorful, deep, and dark. It depends on your preference which style you want to pursue. But there is a basic requirement that the content must be complete. You have to understand that you are telling a story. You can tell the story through echoes and flashbacks, or you can leave blank spaces to hide mysteries, but the story itself must be complete. After all, this is a movie and not a promotional video for Inner Mongolia tourism. If you make the photography very beautiful, no one will watch the plot.

After you read "Daytime Meteor", you will find that it is like a composition template for students, produced in a routine. Determine the proposition (aerospace), state the theme at the beginning (spaceship), and end with the theme (astronaut). Find some cases in the middle that do not need to be related but must be very famous (poverty alleviation). After each example, through a certain Connect the theme in various ways, and finally combine the fragments into one article. There is no need to think too much about the logic in the middle. The rest is to use a lot of beautiful words and famous quotes (lens photography) to look very cultural and perfect.

If you are making a two-hour movie, story flaws can also be covered up by other means, such as, although not explicitly stated here, the climax can be immediately introduced in the next scene, Or use various artistic means to divert attention. Even if you don't understand the whole movie, you can still remember the content of the expression, the many collisions, which fragments reflect the acting skills, which characters are cleverly portrayed, which dialogues are very deep, and then use various marketing methods to exaggerate them, and finally, the entire story It can be called a complete movie.

But "Day Meteor" is just a short film. You can look at other stories. Each one has a clear core story, each one can intuitively mobilize the audience's emotions, and each story is straightforward. Tell the audience what emotions are involved in this paragraph, and then have a romantic relationship with the director and actors. The founding of the country is full of difficulties, how sad it is to give up personal feelings for the country, how proud the women's volleyball team and the Olympics are, everyone's emotions are different, but there will always be a feeling of being The key to mobilizing emotions.
