An ordinary and genuine movie is a great movie.
The movie is called Happiness Express, but everyone who is delivered is not happy, so it is a false proposition both from the movie story itself and from the clown express industry.
The clown courier is used as a metaphor for entrepreneurship, the hardships, the cold shoulder, the ridicule, but the sense of fulfillment and joy that comes with success; the next few stories are used as metaphors for work. As long as one is enslaved there will be loss, and when life is enslaved to work, there will be more business trips, more cheating, producing more fragile love, and more volatile marriages. This is a very serious social problem of today that this movie is trying to express.
Finally, the sudden death, how cruel, when happiness is in front of you, when a lot of career through most of the hard pursuit of life, when in order to work to give up so much, when to drum up the courage to make the most important decision in his life, suddenly because of a and their own has nothing to do with the thing let the life come to an abrupt end, then all of the front of this everything is still have any meaning! This is another theme of this movie: cherish. Cherish the moment, if you're going to die in the next moment.
Happiness Express"Seven Movies" tells the story of a clown's experience of delivering happiness through a clown express to people to cherish the happiness in front of them. Director Li Guangjie's first touch of electricity, an ordinary person, an ordinary occupation gives a more profound meaning.
It takes a lot of control from the director to reflect a set of philosophy of life in just thirty minutes. Through the courier clown a few times a day work tasks, the theme of the film sublimated to the understanding of happiness and cherish this value level, which is the essence of the micro-film. In terms of filming techniques, Li Guangjie utilizes a number of novel techniques, the use of deformed glass, the perspective in the cat's eye, which coincides with the character of the protagonist clown, who is full of yearning and longing for the world, but at the same time doesn't quite understand the world. The strong color contrasts in the film, such as the clown's brightly colored clothes and the darkness on the hearth, all signify that the beauty of the past is like a fleeting cloud, and if you don't cherish it, it will fade away even faster.
"Happiness Express" not only tells people to cherish happiness, but also how to express love. A young couple played by Xue Jia Ning and Du Chun escalated their quarrels because of a lack of communication, and a letter sent by a clown in time dissolved the relationship that was on the verge of breaking up. It turns out that this is the husband's prior to write to his wife, the wife heard immediately into the arms of her husband in tears, a minute before the smell of gunpowder evaporated, all the wear and tear of tit-for-tat, are not as good as this letter of the word such as Iso to be effective, and at this time, the short film reflects is the sincerity of communication between people, the words are not afraid of the numbness, but be sure to sincerely express.
It's not easy for a microfilm to carry such profound content, especially when the actors don't have a lot of dialog in the film, and most of it is in the form of reading letters aloud, which is a very high requirement for the actors' performances. For Li Guangjie, who is taking up the director's chair for the first time, the short film fully reflects his attitude towards the movie, with a sense of seriousness and perseverance throughout, but the freshness of that kind of ignorance and curiosity towards the movie makes the short film look very cute.
First of all, the phrase "love only one person in your life" is really a loaded one. Although the movie "Happy Courier" for the current relationship between men and women do not steadfastly bring a touch of the most refreshing wind of true love, although our emotional concepts are incredibly agreeable to the film in the tender romantic defiant story, but rational thought will still be in the corners of our eyes with the tears of the other side of the emergence of emotion, well, never marry a sick daughter-in-law. If I had known it was going to be so painful, I might as well not have started. If you know you are going to lose, you might as well not have it. The movie is the reality for the pain to weave a beautiful dream, poof the dream woke up, more painful.
I'm rather sick of dreams. And of course, I wail when I have a nightmare. People, isn't that what they are, fragile and hard and capricious and arrogant. At least, the rational time when things do not matter, is hard arrogant. But once the singer Faye Wong also sang such a song, "Only this time, this time it's myself and not anyone else." The god in charge of the emotional line must be missing the string of reason, so when you get the illusion that you like someone, you just have to keep making mistakes over and over again. Can't you turn back? Yes, but don't you think it's a shame to turn back? It's hard to be sure if this person is your destiny, what if it is?
Unfortunately, the Taiwanese protagonist of "The Happiness Express", Jinru, met his destiny when he was a child, the 100% girl, Sun Yirong. The first time I saw him, I was in the middle of the night, and he was in the middle of the night, and he was in the middle of the night. Initially the purest 'love, time will always stay in the bright but not blinding four o'clock in the afternoon, the air exudes a faint smell of plums, soft light on her shoulders gently fear of disturbing her, quiet music spread out. Youthful love always belongs to the most beautiful picture in life, through the shy and beautiful thin windowpane, looking at everything hazily. The movie is shot with the same tenderness, for fear of disturbing everything. The small fresh winds of Taiwanese movies blowing, transparent glass bottles outside the blue house, exquisite wooden mailboxes, dazzling colored lights, the most romantic secret base, dreamy and beautiful.
The youthful love of the student era is renewed after many years, and it is still as pure and beautiful as ever. However, one day or poof, not the windowpaper shattered, but the good girl's entire planet was blown over, the debris hurt the entire universe. Questions that we once thought were still far away are pulled raw and dead in front of us. Only seventeen gets eternal life? No. No amount of beautiful sentences can stop the fear of death and the infinite desire for life. The girl, on the one hand, does not want to drag the boy down, but on the other hand, she simply does not have the courage to go on living without him. The pain she faces every day is known only to herself. Perhaps, even their own no longer have a clear mind to think about their own how painful.
"Happiness Express" is based on real life, about two pairs of young men and women's love, life and destiny in Taiwan and Shanghai, and the plot is no less delicate than Guo Jingming's novel. Compared to similar youth movies, the display of love and affection in the movie, which focuses on illnesses, is also more intense. Although leukemia has always been a much criticized old setting, the love between a man and a woman in life and death is a timeless tear-jerker. The beautifully decisive wedding of Shanghai couple Xiang Yang and Yu Le in the movie pushes this emotion to the climax. Whether she will be rich or poor or whether she will be healthy or unwell in the future, he is willing to be with her forever. He knows that there is no way forward, but he still wants to go to the very end of the road.
Happy ExpressAs the second bullet in Sohu's 7 Movies series, well-known actor Li Guangjie doesn't play with the camera language as Wang Xuebing does, but rather makes a big effort in the film's narration and black humor, with a simple and clear story.
Strictly speaking, the narrative structure of Happy Express is great, simple, clear, and there are a lot of laughable coincidences in the inevitable, but it's a little bit of a pity that director Lee Kwong-chieh seems to pay too much attention to carving out performances, especially Bao Beier's embarrassing details that make the audience embarrassed, and although Bao Beier's performances really do have a kind of natural nerd effect, it's too much, and it's really a little bit tiresome to watch. The movie is a bit tiresome to watch too much. But the good thing is that a few paragraphs of black humor meaning strong paragraph, as well as the story at the end of the unexpected very impactful unhappy ending, very shocking, visible Li Guangjie unusual personality, as well as in the artistic expression of the unique conception.
The so-called happiness has become a luxury for modern people who complain a lot. Living in a stressful city, and having a humble but greedy mind, prevents people from seeing and finding the happiness they really want. In fact, the idea that "Happiness Express" wants to convey is not so profound, we all probably know it very well, just that we often can't face up to our own inner world. Through the process of delivering the courier three times, the clown courier played by Bao Beier, a small courier from the lowest stratum of the society who is unable to face up to his own feelings because of his humbleness and cowardice, has finally gained a strong inner world. This idea, though simple, is very rare as it effectively conveys director Li Guangjie's pristine view of the world.
Of course, the most impressive thing is the ubiquitous black humor in the short film, and these are full of irony, the sudden black humor segments, and the short film is not a simple little happy with the theme of conflict, but rather from another angle to play a good role in highlighting the theme of the short film. The performances of several guest stars add to the expressive power. Especially the absurd "farewell" scene, which can almost be regarded as the sole responsibility of Xiao Song Jia, with just a few strokes, a woman who is full of thirst for love, sentimental but stubborn, is perfectly expressed. Of course, Li Guangjie director still did not forget to arrange for himself here on a super big dragon-set, an embarrassed expression, a little bit of uneasy small action, he was the "cheater" image to the fullest performance, the play is light and tasty, coupled with that piece of humor to the end of the death also do not forget the "! The last letter", the mood of the whole short film to the climax, but also to the real hero - the clown courier, to find the courage to pursue their own happiness!
As for the short film the most black humor of the end, it is more to remind the audience, in order to pursue their own happiness, in addition to the courage, as soon as possible to start is also very necessary, in the current society, any "sudden" are likely to cause for you, for the one you love, the end of a lifetime of regret!
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world who has been in love with her!
However, if you can control the length of the movie a bit more, especially the end, the big lyrical flashbacks can be a bit simpler, perhaps the sudden ending, leaving the audience with the shock and aftertaste may be a bit more intense!
Happy ExpressBecause life is getting more and more fickle. Already refused to properly settle down to watch a TV series, not even a two-hour movie.
I randomly point point point, point to this microfilm. Li Guangjie gave me a pretty good impression, and it's surprising that he can direct a movie. In fact, I'd rather watch the Huang Bo one.
The clown express is an emerging profession. This kind of work on the thickness of the skin and psychological quality of the high requirements of the traditional rules and regulations of the people can not be imagined. But the good news is that it's covered in heavy greasepaint.
The reason I hate watching movies about love is because all of it is fake.
What are the odds that the girl who sells the buns is that good-looking?
At this point, it's a good idea to repeat: art is from life and above life.
Because it's impossible, it's attractive.
The clowns are making deliveries, knocking on customers' doors. Performing unfamiliar dance steps.
A favorite part is the delivery of the letter to Xue Jia Ning. Looking out of the cat's eye, the clown's face is somewhat distorted. Underneath the full face of oil color, only a pair of eyes give a sense of reality. He was listening to the couple arguing in the hallway, stuttering and reading the man's heartfelt letter to the woman. Reads and pauses, as if brewing emotions. Then look in the cat's eye at the corner of his mouth, and with a sobbing voice continued to read again.
I followed the tears.
Really aggrieved.
The word "happiness" has been used too often.
This is the first time I've ever seen a person who has been in a position to do something.
A warm text message, a look of understanding is happiness. A genuine one is happiness.
You have to die in front of your lover to realize that you cherish the person in front of you.
It is also true that death is the most impactful footnote. The so-called tragedy is to destroy the beauty to the people to see.
This is the first time I've ever seen a movie where I've had a good time.
Life is the greatest happiness. Everything you experience is a gift from God.
Happiness ExpressThe funeral valedictory ceremony is a great example of how to make people laugh and cry. In an old movie theater, is holding a special memorial service, the stage in the center of the bed quietly lying in a long sleep of young men Seven, Xiao Songjia played by the widow of the sadness, is at this time the clown is very funny came in, the crowd is surprised, the original is Xiao Songjia's husband, Seven, before the death of the arrangement of the special "gift! "The clowns were all surprised. The clown first danced according to Seven's wishes, in the solemn funeral scene seems particularly out of place, Song Jia frowned and interrupted the clown's dance, so that the clown directly read Seven's suicide note, which is precisely the beginning of the "crying" and "laughing".
Crying, because of Seven's late declaration of love - the will, the movie ticket stubs that he had the heart to keep a souvenir book, the "I love you" that flowed between the lines, even if he died for the sake of his wife, Li Jie; laughing, because this man, even if he died, he did not want to die. Because this man even when he died also did not forget to humor, so that the joy of the clown to the pathos of the funeral read the will, dancing and active atmosphere. But this laughing and laughing slowly changed taste, that a sentence of relief words but the pressure of people can not breathe, look at each other's tears speechless. The first thing you need to do is to say "I love you", which is such a pity!

Happiness Express (8): Happiness Express: microfilm should be so shotAfter watching Happiness Express, cried wet a big pile of paper towels.
Microfilm by virtue of the new media platform is rapidly warming up to the brand, product promotion for the purpose of the work of a lot of hair, their length is usually in a few minutes to ten minutes ranging, at the same time, have seen after I was impressed and not much, compared to the "happy delivery" is considered a "micro" movie in the "big" works. The first is a "big" movie.
The reason why it is said that it is "big", first of all, it has a strong creative background, the producers were China Film and Sohu, the former as a creative platform, the full integration of resources, to ensure that the film shooting standards; the latter with a strong promotional platform, enough to attract more viewers. In addition, the first to come out of the "happiness express", also let people on the "7 movie" brand full of more expectations.
Secondly, "Happiness Express" is a "big" pattern of microfilm, 35 minutes in length in the microfilm is not short, although it is from the beginning to the end of the 601 courier's first point of view to say things, but it is all-encompassing, will be the life of the world at the end of the day, which is about the people of the people's own story, very grounded, while the average general courier's first point of view, but the people of the people's own story, but the people of the people's own story. It tells the story of the people themselves, which is very grounded, while the general micro-film, the perspective is very narrow, limited to the production costs and length, they usually can only be made up of very simple events, or around the bundled products to say things, which is as a micro-film, the most distinctive place of the "Happy Courier".
Looking at the movie itself, Happiness Express also exhibits a variety of microfilm characteristics.
The first "micro" is that it is not a 1:1 ratio to portray life, more like a microfilm. 35 minutes long, it is not possible to shoot like a 100-minute movie, so the director of the story line, the narrative form of compression, the film tells a very simple story, the courier 601, who is in love with the girl opposite the baozi shop. The movie tells a simple story of a courier 601, who is in love with a girl from the bakery across the street, and in the course of a day's courier work, he comes across a few things that give him the courage to confess his love to this girl after work. The narrative is a more singularly flat one, and there are no eye-popping edits. These are two things that are usually taboo in a big movie, but they certainly play a positive role in Happiness Express, which allows the audience to interpret what the director is trying to express in a complete and smooth manner, and absorb it well. Speaking of which, I think of the Chopstick Brothers' 11 Degrees of Youth's Old Boys, which I believe that many viewers, after seeing it, can only remember the emotions that were stirred up in that moment, and a lot of the The details have been blurred, microfilm can not be messed up.
The second "micro" is that it focuses on the grassroots. We've been taught that there is only a different division of labor in society, and that there is no such thing as high or low, so to hell with this argument! This society is divided into three, six, nine classes, the role played by Baobel, undoubtedly at the bottom of society, he took a meager income, but also carefully protect that is about to be extinguished self-esteem, in the company by coworkers bullying, mocking, outside the customer beatings, verbal abuse, he is a representative of the most arduous life of the people. His ideal and pursuit of life is the girl in the baozi store, but that girl is also ruthlessly set by the director as a hearing-impaired person.
There is really no difference between noble and lowly, it is love, conscience and other things from the heart, at the same time, these by the above humble people projected, in turn, can give people a great deal of touching, "Happy Express" from black humor to touching to the depths of the rapid transition, resulting in the psychological gap will make even the strongest people are difficult to resist. The movie's interpretation of love is also relatively unique, by the pre-marriage, marriage, third-party interference in three points, constituting three vignettes, they each have their own pain, in a variety of pain in the refraction of the true nature of love.
The third "micro" is the creative attitude of many people in front of and behind the scenes who have lowered their stature and gotten down to earth. The happiness express" in the final analysis, just a microfilm, it is very good, clothing and chemical beauty Road can not pick hard injuries, this point is enough to let many viewers to buy tickets to see the movie shame, but it is outstanding and not out of character, it is about the simple story of ordinary people, do not pursue the high and mighty, there are no special effects, as a first-time director Li Guangjie, this is a normal heart to bring restraint; as the main star, Bao Beier let a person surprise, the humble role of even the name of this The humble character does not even have a name, only a code name of 601, but the energy he exudes makes my eyes tear up several times, this role, much more meaningful than the book boy in the "Painted Wall".
"Happiness Express" will have a positive and exemplary effect on the entire microfilm field, and one day the audience will come back to the taste of 70 or 80 dollars a ticket to a big screen movie, but not as good as sitting in front of the computer, the subway, holding the phone to watch half an hour of microfilm power, anyway, I really think so.
Happiness ExpressThis is a movie that can be watched quietly to the end, 30 minutes, I sat in front of the computer quietly with the clown walked through a modern metropolis of a variety of iconic buildings - the pedestrian sparse Plaza, high-rise buildings with glass curtain walls, wide, brightly lit streets with few pedestrians, old city walls, small streets with baozi stores, overpasses and culverts, churches, neighborhoods, abandoned factories, suburban areas, old theaters 。。。。。
The footage is simple and clean, with a monotonous, cold background, and the clown, small, frail, and alone, with brilliant, brightly colored clothes, cars, and gifts, passes alone through a modern and desolate urban scene. 。。。。。
Courier electric bike is the main line of footage through the whole play, with the wheels zigzagging forward, the director took the audience to the three main scenes: the wedding chapel, the neighborhood couples home, the theater, spreading out the three small units of the plot, the wedding scene due to the wrong gift from the warm and sudden and the conflict a big upsurge in the quarrel couples due to the courier to the love of the confession of reconciliation, the death of the husband full of remorse and love of his last words set off widowed wife The story is about a couple who are in love with each other, and how they are going to make up for their differences.
Three small paragraphs about the plain, calm, humorous, strong sense of drama, so that people sometimes smile, sometimes heartbreaking banter, emotional people in the reading of the suicide note will be tears (that is indeed a tear point).
Three paragraphs tell us and the drama clowns: 1, people's love is fragile, men are under great pressure, even in the wedding, can not afford to wrongly send a gift; 2, love is the need for confession, courier to the confession is not less romantic surprise, but the second half of life happiness also have to rely on their own to create, otherwise, the next courier to come back later can do?3, love needs to be maintained, happiness to be cherished. The suicide note on the touching confession if early to say early to do, love and happiness will not slip away.
The movie up to here, due to the tone, rhythm, three small bridge after the first suppression and then suppression, has set off people's heart of the feelings of the waves, but the director told is still restrained, Xue Jia Ning's cry, small Song Jia's mournful crying are restrained, small Song Jia and Li Guangjie's embrace is also deliberately suppressed the audience feelings of the Bofa.
Isn't it a little too depressing? Well. The director found a point for the emotional outburst at this point. The passerby's phrase "if you don't go, it's too late" woke up the clown Baobao, who had realized after a day's experience, that he should confess his love to the girl of his choice right away, or else, it would be too late. At this point, the music kicks in, "Say I love you loud and clear. Without hesitation. With all my strength," the song directly sensational, talking about the true meaning of the brave pursuit of love, will bring the movie to a climax, the clown bravely and cheerfully stomped back to the car to court, the audience in the heart of the breath of that point of emotion to be cathartic, the heart is much more comfortable and look forward to a good warm and touching feelings with the presentation.
However, the director is Li Guangjie, known as a calm, mature 80-year-old actor. Many people have predicted that he will not be so "lovers into a pair, the prince and princess live happily together" to give us a happy ending, and, indeed, Baobel sent the movie tickets to the hands of Zhang Jia Ni, full of happiness to go back to wash his face when he was touched by a car, the truck came too suddenly, people's moods once again condensed, the tragedy! The movie was a great success, and the movie was a great success.
Is it over? Although this dramatization can abuse the audience's heart, but still not a lot of people's expectations, as if there is still something missing. So, in the curtain music, the director let Baobel continue to happily wash the oil off his face, let him silently help the mute girl to write the menu for the new day, let him from a humble bullied, trampled on, juggling also not entertained by the little man, transformed into a sunny and healthy smile bright handsome guy, so that he happily and peacefully as SEVEN to guard his love, because the utterance of the love and not regret to bless the beloved, as the hero and heroine in the ghosts and ghosts of love to let the love and peace overflow time and space.
Then, we see a couple walking peacefully and happily, and we hear, one by one, the real and vivid life of ordinary people in the thanks to the subtitles slowly rolled out at the same time, said their own understanding of happiness, so simple, beautiful, and then, we find, as if the stroke of a pen, just now presented in the eyes of the viewer of the cold gray tone of the city became bright and vivid, we quietly watch the end of The last subtitle came out, the heart is full of moving, sad, feeling.
Is there a feeling of love and happiness to be cherished and held on to? It doesn't really matter. As long as you can watch this short movie quietly, and your heart is touched, the movie is a success.
Looking at Li Guangjie's movie, the way of narration, the use of camera, color, the rhythm of the grasp, the design of the bridge, in the middle of the rules and ingenious, not noisy, not tumultuous, and plainly expresses his understanding of happiness, the understanding of love, the understanding of the city, the caring for the little people and respect, can be said to be a sincere work.
In the 30-minute film length, seven-day shooting period, limited funds, first-time director conditions, Li Guangjie can use his way to tell us such a meaningful and meaningful story, is surprising, do sincere people, do meaningful things, I believe that Li Guangjie will bring us more surprises.
Go for it.
