Experienced actor

Chapter 233 "Mr. Tree" is worth at least 3 points, an extremely sublime ending!
"It's very political."

Schroeder had this feeling after watching "Reunion".

But he also admitted that the film was excellent.

The story of the movie "Reunion" is about the story between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and the characters in it are mainly old people.

Let people see the feelings that cannot be expressed in words and think about them carefully.

The old lady is the former wife of the old gentleman on the other side, but the old lady already has her own family and life in the mainland.

It should be said that this is indeed a very good movie, but it just makes Schroeder feel subtle.

There are a lot of political factors behind it, and it seems to be making insinuations.

Well, that's about it.

Ever since, Schroeder went back to talk to his colleagues about his feelings.

The next day, the magazine "SCREEN" gave a rating for "Reunion".

2.4 points!
As soon as this score came out, many Chinese reporters who were paying attention to the Berlin Film Festival became excited.

why?

It's very simple. Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns" also came to the Berlin Film Festival before, and of course it wanted to enter the main competition. However, the screening score of "Three Guns" was 1.8.

Don't underestimate the 0.6 gap, because the venue rarely gives more than 3 points in terms of ratings.

In other words, if a movie gets a score of 3 or above, it is basically a perfect masterpiece in the eyes of the show.

But...well, that's the same problem. Very few people with a 3-point rating later get a Golden Bear. Of course, there will be awards, but the final big prize bear is generally not given.

A very strange phenomenon, maybe the judges like to show that their vision is different.

But no matter what, this time "Three Guns" only had a score of 1.8, and it was not shortlisted for the main competition. Does this mean that Zhang Yimou is no longer good?
How can Chinese journalists not be excited?

As a result, many articles appeared overnight.

"Changing dynasties! Wang Quan'an represents the new literary and artistic trend of Chinese films!"

"Get high scores! Is it possible for "Reunion" to win the Golden Bear?"

"'Reunion' represents a new height for Chinese literary films."

This blowing can be described as nauseating.

So, what about "Mr. Tree"?

……

Hotel, Baoqiang is in a hurry.

The Berlin Film Festival also arranged hotels, which is somewhat similar to Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards.

Of course, there are some similarities, such as cash prizes for winning films.

There was a lot of cash given, and this was also an aspect that was very attractive to Chinese movies back then.

Some cash rewards, even if the movie doesn't make a box office, can still make the movie make money.

The previous exchange rate was just like that.

But now, why is Baoqiang like this?

But I saw him coming to the hotel gym, and as soon as he came in...

"Oh my god! Brother Yang, I, I came at the wrong time."

Bao Qiang, this guy, immediately covered his face very quickly.

Xiang Yang's voice came from over there, "No, what are you thinking?"

what happened?

Just now, Baoqiang saw his brother Yang and his sister-in-law, and the two of them were entangled there.

It just looks a bit blushing.

But the sister-in-law over there spoke up, "Qiangzi, you, what's going on in your mind is really... haha... I'm practicing yoga with your brother Yang."

"Oh, that's it." Baoqiang suddenly understood and took off his hand.

Fortunately, the blushing gesture just now is gone.

So what exactly is the posture?

Actually, it’s really nothing, it’s just two people doing yoga, with Xiang Yang at the back and Young Master in front, that’s about it.

Anyway, it was because of this posture that Xiang Yang particularly supported my young master in practicing.

In particular, he also heard that it seemed that this so-called yoga was originally born to develop abilities in that area.

No, Xiangyang is very confident in that aspect. Isn't it because of his many postures?

What are you thinking!

"What are you doing here?" Xiang Yang wiped his sweat slightly.

The gym in the hotel is empty now. The couple just tried a new posture.

"I'm going to take a shower first, you two can talk." The young master looked at Bao Qiang's look, and she wanted to laugh.

In fact, she really thought her husband was talented because of the joke Xiang Yang made on the plane.

Bao Qiang paired with Fan Ye, what kind of picture is this?
Forget it, just think about it, it's simply impossible.

Baoqiang scratched his head and waited for his sister-in-law to leave before he spoke, "Brother Yang, what's going on with that issue of scoring in the venue book?"

Xiang Yang couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "You don't know what's going on?"

He didn't believe Baoqiang was so stupid.

Baoqiang scratched his head again and blushed.

Xiang Yang said: "Are you worried about our "Mr. Tree"? Or, Han Jie and the others are also worried. It's hard for them to ask, let you come? Who else?"

Baoqiang smiled, a little embarrassed, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

Xiang Yang didn't find it difficult for him, and smiled: "What the hell, it's just a magazine. They can't really affect the final result."

Baoqiang couldn't help but admire him after hearing this.

That magazine, from Han Jie's words, was said to be too high-end, as if it could make the final decision on who would own the Golden Bear.

Look at our Brother Yang!

It's awesome!

But Xiang Yang continued: "Let's not expect too much this time to win an award. You guys, please calm down. What I'm afraid of is that they won't be able to understand our movie."

can not read it?
This is reasonable, to be honest, Bao Qiang himself didn't understand it.

He knew that he was crazy in that movie.

what about now?

"Okay! I will listen to Brother Yang!"

Baoqiang went back happily.

Xiang Yang was also happy at first, but this time... Well, he is full of confidence!
Why are you so confident?

On the one hand, it is a movie, which he thinks is very good.

Plus, that’s…

The rating from that magazine isn’t that big of a deal anyway.

Xiang Yang remembered what happened before he traveled through time.

There is a Korean film called "Burning", which scored more than 3 points at that time, about 3.4 points. It was a film with the highest score in the three major European film festivals.

How is the result?

Lose.

So, this rating is nothing at all.

But after Baoqiang left, the young master came back again.

"Is that how confident you are?"

"Do not worry."

"real or fake?"

"Daughter-in-law, I will definitely bring home a bear."

"what……"

The young man was very happy.

Actually, Wan Xiaoye didn't say anything, but she was also very nervous.

What to do if you are nervous?

I'm looking for a husband, but I'm tired of it.

So. . .

"Would you like to develop new postures?"

"Hmm~"

Yes, yoga is only for two people.

……

The next day.

Schroeder is a Jedi who doesn't care about other people's opinions. He just fulfills his responsibility to write reports and give his own opinions.

"Hello!The movie "Mr. Tree" was finally screened.

So, what is this movie about?

I was looking at posters outside before, and I just saw a person, not very cleanly dressed, with messy hair, and a cigarette in his hand.

This gesture is very strange.

However, Schroeder was attracted by this gesture. It was a deep attraction.

This man smokes and is very...feeling!

In the movie, where is this scene?

Finally, the story of "Mr. Tree" begins.

Schroeder was fully focused, but he really didn't expect that person to appear at the beginning.

"My brother is dead, he died a long time ago..."

Of course, he is Mr. Shu, Baoqiang. When he said this, he smiled and showed his yellow teeth.

Schroeder certainly noticed these details, but he also noticed the man's surroundings.

So what exactly is that place?

He can't understand.

After all, although he is familiar with China, there are some places he doesn't know.

Soon, the camera turned and a scene similar to that of a county town appeared.

"Harmonious life, 80 square meters community..."

This small county seems to be demolished.

The camera slowly moved from the promotional car to a seemingly dark place.

Repair shop.

"Oops, oops!"

The man appeared again, but now he seemed to have a problem with his eyes.

"You must have been shaken by electric welding. Go to the hospital quickly!"

Just arrived at the hospital.

"what name?"

"Tree." "Just call it a tree?"

"Everyone knows me anyway, so I'll just write it like this."

The doctor needed to register, but Brother Shu just reported his name.

Schroeder felt strange, but he had a strong urge to watch.

But in fact, he didn't know that this was the real appearance of the name 'tree'.

Not long after, Brother Shu was fired. He had 2000 yuan more and the tender hands of a nurse.

"You're like that, a fire~"

"The fire~illuminates me..."

A man appeared singing a song.

What a strange look!

Schroeder was completely dumbfounded, what happened to this man?

But the singing was pretty good, and he had actually heard this song.

Interestingly, this man was accompanied by a woman.

The two of them were singing and dancing at the same time.

The clothes that woman wore were very, very...gorgeous.

Well, this kind of colorful Northeastern cotton-padded jacket looks very gorgeous to Schroeder. He even thinks that it is simply art. If it is made well, it can be put on the catwalk.

He didn't know that his idea was right, because within a few years, this kind of large flowered coat dress was really worn by European models and walked on the T stage of the world's top fashion weeks.

The tree still smokes a cigarette.

But soon, there was a crisp sound.

Brother Shu was slapped.

This……

What happened just now?

Schroeder swore that he was definitely a person who had read countless films, but this scene made him a little confused.

However, I want to see the back even more.

Then several things happened.

Shu, met Xiaozhuang.

tree, blind date.

Shu helps Xiaozhuang, but it is the singing and dancing man who helps Shu reason.

The tree was bullied and he knelt down.

tree, he became the master 'Mr. Tree'.

Schroeder was confused, but Schroeder also understood.

When the character Shu and his story develop to some point with nodes, the singing and dancing person will appear.

Even, that person will change, he not only has a woman, but also a woman who can't speak.

All are beautiful.

At such a node, the screen will be switched again and return to the place with the table at the beginning.

The tree can say a word.

"My brother? My brother died long ago."

"My brother is dead."

"The one who was beaten to death by my father was beaten to death while hanging."

And the one who dances.

What Schroeder saw was that he always had a weird smile. This smile, this temperament, and this person's actions were all things Shu did not usually have.

Who is this person?
He got it!
He actually understood the mystery before it was revealed!
This person is Shu’s brother!

Shu kept saying that his brother was dead, but all he could think about was his brother.

It must be so!
So, what is the conclusion?

Schroeder thought of this, goosebumps all over his body!

Sure enough, it didn't take long when the movie came to an end.

The answer is revealed.

Tree, he's crazy.

The place where he was, where he told his story, was definitely a mental hospital!
So, who is listening to him?

Is it Schroeder, or rather, the audience watching the movie?
So, why don’t you think about it carefully?
However, is this movie just about watching the story of this madman? Is it that simple?
Schroeder feels that telling the story in this way is already very good.

But he vaguely felt in his heart that if it could be sublimated a little more, it would be even more perfect.

However, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do.

Because such a condom has been made.

That is to say, for the entire movie, the audience is actually watching a madman telling you a story.

This is even more powerful.

The audience was blown away.

So, how else can it be sublimated?
As an old driver who has read countless films, Schroeder couldn't think of how to sublimate even if he wanted to break his head.

Because this is already super powerful, but in fact, it is not a joke to the audience.

Mr. Shu is now a 'master'.

He is very powerful, he has risen, and almost everyone in this movie will listen to what he says.

Everyone will think that he is a person similar to 'god'.

In other words, the characters in the movie were listening to a madman, and they thought it was very good.

What we, the audience outside the movie, see is just the ugliness of these guys.

Isn't this story very ironic?

A good movie should be like this. It has profound meaning and can shock people from the heart.

Anyway, Schroeder was shocked.

This tree is a madman, he is crazy.

The dancer, and his two women, these shots... yes, they have a very magical feeling.

That's right!

The character looks real but doesn't exist at all, and the same goes for his woman.

Furthermore, the performance is very impressive.

This tree is really amazing.

And his brother, who’s awesome, too.

The two people... seem to be completely different, but they also give people a feeling of being one.

Actually, take a closer look at the details.

Does the appearance of that brother really help the tree?

No, it was the tree’s own doing!
Just like that "Fight Club".

Right, that is it.

It should be said that Schroeder at this time has been conquered by this movie.

So, what kind of ending can there be to make this movie more sublimated?
No!There is no such possibility!

Schroeder concludes this before the end of the film.

He had even thought of the ending.

This "Mr. Tree" should end like this.

It is simply to pull out the lens of the camera to give a panoramic view, so that the tree, the character, and his environment are exposed.

Then, it was a complete success!
This is a very shocking reversal for everyone in the end.

Tell all viewers the truth.

The tree is a mental illness. You just read a story about a mental illness, and it was told by him himself.

A film critic like Schroeder can definitely think of such an ending, and he is very confident that such an ending is shocking enough to surprise all audiences.

but!

Schroeder never expected that the movie would end like this.

That's right, here we come!
The camera starts to pull.

The camera is moving backwards, slowly, and the scene of the entire mental hospital should appear.

However, when Schroeder saw the end, he was completely stunned!

His brain almost exploded!

what happened?
I saw that on the big screen, the entire interior of the mental hospital did appear.

However, there are people.

Not just one person or two, but many, many people.

Who are these people?

In the previous movie, all the people who appeared in the hope that 'Mr. Tree' could help them, this group of people, are all in this room now!

It was so!
It turns out the real audience is these guys.

And the most shocking thing is.

Mr. Tree, he has entered a psychiatric hospital, and he should have been diagnosed as mentally ill.

However, these individuals, these seemingly normal people, are still listening to Mr. Shu’s nonsense!

For example, what date will the opening be on March 13th?

But they just believe it!

This. . .

Ahh!

Schroeder covered his mouth and yelled.

This ended up being so sublime!
Human beings just like to hear what they want to hear.

Even if the speaker is a psychopath, they still are.

And, it’s not over yet.

The tree smoked a lot, and finally, the matches were gone.

what happened?

The cigarette butt was in the tree's hand, and there was a strange smile on the tree's face.

At this moment, a classic picture appeared!

A group of people, normal people, each took out a lighter or a match, came over, and rushed to light Mr. Shu.

Isn't this a classic scene in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily"!

The movie suddenly freezes, and this scene is the last picture.

Schroeder decided in his heart!

This "Mr. Tree" deserves at least 3 points!
