The director is michael mann, who has filmed The Wire and Miami Vice, starring Japanese tough guy Ken Watanabe, and the elements in the plot include gangs and murders. It is estimated that many viewers will preconceived that "Tokyo Crime" is an action movie with hot scenes and hard contents.

But obviously they will be disappointed. The plot is progressing slowly, the style is serious and dull, and even the characters in the play have a sense of powerlessness, all of which remind us that this drama is by no means a "cool drama". On the contrary, it is a life record that shocks the soul and a unique text that tells about social problems and changes of the times.

After finishing college in Japan, American Jack Adelstam (the prototype of the protagonist Jack) applied for a job and entered the Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan’s largest newspaper (that is, Ming Diao news in TV series), becoming one of the few American journalists who were allowed to enter the mysterious Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to report crimes. He also wrote this strange life experience into a best-selling book "Tokyo Sin".

This drama, adapted from this, tells the real crime story in Japan from a unique perspective, and also explores the modern gangster world that I rarely see in Japan, indirectly reflecting the complicated and sometimes interdependent relationship among journalists, police and gangsters.

　

From America to Japan: Living elsewhere

　

Although this drama has gathered many Japanese first-line movie stars, the most eye-catching one is Jack, who speaks fluent Japanese and is played by Ansel Elgort. This young American actor, who just starred in west side story, stands out among the Japanese and becomes a unique scenery.

Jack’s relationship with his father is not good, and his sister suffers from depression. He left his hometown and came to Tokyo, Japan, just to start a new life and pursue his dreams. And he did find his spiritual "father" again-Pan Tong, played by Ken Watanabe, who was honest and brave and taught and helped him all the way.

Not only Jack, but also Samantha, the hostess played by Rachel Keller, came to Tokyo to get rid of the unbearable past. These foreign faces in Tokyo are the most obvious metaphor of this play-from the perspective of Americans, going to Japan is more like "living elsewhere."

This is reminiscent of Goethe’s keen interest in China culture, especially China literature, and his mentality of creating "world literature". Frankly speaking, this is not how much Goethe loved China at that time, but the urgent feeling of wanting to obtain fresher cultural resources from the outside when the western world became more and more lifeless.

The mysterious and ancient Japanese culture is obviously attractive to "Jack" from America. In Ramen Girl, brittany murphy redeems her failed relationship by learning Japanese food culture. In "Kill Bill", uma thurman showed the American audience the aesthetics of violence. In The Last Samurai, Tom Cruise realized the Zen Buddhism of "nothing originally" and "life and death are all delusional" and the Bushido spirit of self-reliance and self-denial regardless of life and death.

In "Tokyo Sin", the first lesson that Piantong taught Jack was the "ceremony" in Japanese culture. It is by no means the set of values that police officers in the Jianghu Miyamoto uphold that focus on trading and buying and selling (this is precisely American culture), but the "righteousness" advocated by traditional Japanese. It is precisely because of Jack’s journalistic ideal in front of Piantong that Piantong is willing to help him.

In other words, the reason why "Jack" people are so obsessed with Tokyo is not that they are attracted by its sounds, dogs, horses, and traffic (which are all in America), but that they want to pursue new ideals and infinite possibilities here.

Conflict and misunderstanding: guilt culture and shame culture

　

Although jack was full of hope for his new life, he was hit on the head as soon as he entered the newspaper. The elder Yumi Maruyama warned Jack that he was not qualified to regard her as a "friend", let alone to call her by her first name. This is the important difference between American guilt culture and Japanese shame culture. The "original sin consciousness" produced by guilt culture makes Americans think that since everyone has "original sin", then everyone is equal; But for the Japanese, the root of conscience is the relationship between people, and the root of its culture comes from family relations.

It is clearly stated in Chrysanthemum and Knife that Japan "has a very thoughtful hierarchy in politics, religion, military, industry and other fields. No matter whether it is the upper level or the lower level, it will be punished if it exceeds its privileged scope." Therefore, Jack has to strictly abide by the hierarchy of the newspaper. Even if he finds a breakthrough clue in the report, he must obey the unreasonable orders of his boss (played by Kohsuke Toyohara)-the report must be written according to the police’s notification and cannot have his own creative content.

This also involves the main plot of the play-a series of murders created by the underworld Huze Group. They colluded with banks, used usury to push customers into the abyss of eternal ruin, and then forced customers to commit suicide by insulting and threatening to defraud huge expenses.

Perhaps some viewers will wonder why the Japanese choose to commit suicide after being insulted. This also shows the difference between guilt culture and shame culture in terms of restriction mechanism-the real guilt culture relies on the reflection of guilt in the heart to do good deeds; The real shame culture relies on external coercion to do good deeds. Therefore, in the shame culture, what matters is not what you have done, but whether you have been discovered by outsiders. This is the root cause of the victim’s unbearable humiliation and anger and suicide.

On the other hand, shame requires the presence of outsiders, at least to feel that outsiders are present. In other words, as long as the evil deeds are not discovered, it seems that they can get away with it. This is why police officer Miyamoto told Jack that there was "no" murder in Japan, and Mingdiao News did not support Jack’s further investigation at first. Jack sighed in the bar, "At least there is investigation news in the United States". Behind a complaint, it is the fierce conflict and huge difference between the two cultures.

　

Lost in Tokyo: An Outsider of Japanese Culture

　

Milan Kundera said, "Man is the one who walks in the fog." Facing the fog, people can only see the narrow space in front of them. Jack hopes to see the running logic of Tokyo gangs through news investigation, but he doesn’t realize that the power of individuals or even any organization is negligible in the face of the rolling wheel of history.

Huze Group and Chihara Group were sworn enemies fighting for territory. Because of Jack’s help, Chihara Group got rid of the mole, but did not dare to take revenge on Huze Group. Officer Piantong advised Ishida, the leader of Chihara Group, "Ten years ago, you could easily take Huze." Ishida’s facial expression was instantly stiff, and his eyes were full of sadness and helplessness.

It turns out that the Huze group has gradually gained the upper hand by drug trafficking and dirty financial scams, while the Chihara group still adheres to the traditional values of "chivalry" and finally retreats step by step. This battle just shows the irreversible decline trend of Japanese underworld.

In the film "Mafia and Family" which was released in 2020 and starred by G Ayano, the declining Japanese gangs even relied on seashore shells to subsidize their families. As American scholar R. taggart Murphy said in his book Japan and its historical shackles, emerging economic systems have spawned brand-new industrial and social structures, the level of industrialization is getting higher and higher, and the era of "speaking with fists" is gone.

Reminiscent that this drama happened at the turn of the century, Jack, an American, will witness in Tokyo the process of reshaping Japanese social life with the changes of the times-"fortitude" and "fortitude" are no longer the criteria for judging men, and "dedication" and "sacrifice" are no longer the qualities that people admire.

In other words, due to the wave of globalization, Jack is doomed to find his ideal country in Tokyo. Whether it’s police officer Piantong or gangster friend Sato, their "loyalty" and "benevolence" will eventually turn into tears of the times and fall on the bustling streets of Tokyo.

By the way, the original work exposes the black-box operations of industries such as human trafficking and obscene transactions organized by violent gangs, and criticizes the Japanese government for failing to protect the "human rights" of hostess, but such views are, after all, on the standpoint of "American centralism".

After all, Jack lost in Tokyo can never understand the life choices of Samantha (the hostess gave her the possibility to start a new life) and Sato (the gang gave him a second life), because he is an "outsider" and an "outsider" of Japanese culture after all.

On September 21, 2014, the CPC Central Committee and the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference held a grand ceremony to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in the auditorium of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. The top leader attended and delivered a speech.

"Democracy is not an ornament, not for decoration, but to solve the problems that the people want to solve. Socialist consultative democracy should be real, not a show, it should be all-round, not limited to a certain aspect, and it should be done up and down the country, not limited to a certain level. Consultation means real consultation, and real consultation means consultation before and in decision-making, and the system guarantees that the results of consultation will be realized, so that decisions and work are better in line with public opinion and reality."

– On September 21, 2014, the Supreme Leader said at the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference

"Under China’s socialist system, finding the greatest common denominator of the will and demands of the whole society is the true meaning of people’s *********," the top leader said on Sept. 21, 2014, at the 65th anniversary of the founding of the ******* People’s Political Consultative Conference.

More than half a month ago, on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the National People’s Congress, the Supreme Leader said at the meeting that we must uphold and improve the grass-roots mass autonomy system, develop grass-roots democracy, ensure that the people directly exercise their democratic rights in accordance with the law, and effectively prevent the phenomenon that the people have power in form but not in fact.

********* is an important part of the cause of socialism with ******* characteristics, and an important way to ensure that the people are the masters of their own affairs. Behind the high-frequency emphasis is the continuous thinking and exploration of people’s ********* by the top leaders.

Democracy for Development:

The governance does not have to be the same, and the period is for the benefit of the people

According to statistics from People’s Daily Online reporters, in the speeches of the National People’s Congress and the National Committee of the ******* People’s Political Consultative Conference in September alone, the supreme leader mentioned the word "*********" 122 times.

"All kinds of plans that copy the Western model of political systems cannot fulfill the historical tasks of saving the Chinese nation and fighting imperialism and feudalism, nor can they stabilize China’s political situation and society, nor can they provide institutional guarantees for China to achieve national prosperity and strength and people’s happiness," the supreme leader said as he reviewed the progress of China’s democratic development at a meeting celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the National People’s Congress.

"If an orange is born in Huainan, it is an orange, and if it is born in Huaibei, it is an orange." The political path needs to learn from the experience of other countries, but there is no unified model.

At the conference, the supreme leader said: "We need to learn from the beneficial achievements of foreign political civilization, but we must not give up the fundamentals of China’s political system. China has more than 9.6 million square kilometers of land and 56 ethnic groups. Whose model can we follow? Who can tell us what to do?" The supreme leader pointed out that copying the political system of other countries will not work, it will be unsuitable for the soil, it will be a tiger that will not become an anti-dog, and it will even ruin the future of the country. Only a system that is rooted in the soil of the country and absorbs abundant nutrients can be the most reliable and effective

在人民政协成立65周年大会上，最高领袖再次强调，“履不必同，期于适足；治不必同，期于利民。”保证和支持人民当家作主不是一句口号、不是一句空话，必须落实到国家政治生活和社会生活之中，保证人民依法有效行使管理国家事务、管理经济和文化事业、管理社会事务的权力。

民主反腐败：

政之所要，在乎民心

什么是民主？古往今来，不同的理论家提出了相同的理念，但怎么确保人民当家作主，却派生了不同的实践，这一问题也一直是最高领袖的思考的主题。

2005年2月1日，时任浙江省委书记的最高领袖在浙江省纪委第七次全体会议上讲话，指出构建惩治和预防腐败体系要与发展社会主义民主政治相适应。用发展民主来防止腐败，是我们党反腐倡廉的一条重要经验。这条经验在最高领袖此后对反腐败工作的指导中始终贯穿始终。

今年9月5日，最高领袖在全国人大成立60周年大会上强调，发展人民民主必须坚持依法治国、维护宪法法律权威，使民主制度化、法律化，使这种制度和法律不因领导人的改变而改变，不因领导人的看法和注意力的改变而改变。

最高领袖说，一个政党，一个政权，其前途命运取决于人心向背。人民群众反对什么、痛恨什么，我们就要坚决防范和打击。人民群众最痛恨腐败现象，我们就必须坚定不移反对腐败。要坚持用制度管权管事管人，抓紧形成不想腐、不能腐、不敢腐的有效机制，让人民监督权力，让权力在阳光下运行，把权力关进制度的笼子里。要坚持“老虎”、“苍蝇”一起打，坚持有腐必反、有贪必肃，下最大气力解决腐败问题，努力营造风清气正的党风政风和社会风气，不断以反腐倡廉的新成效取信于民。

Democracy makes friends:

A trip to the great road, the world is public

The supreme leader’s explanation of democracy is not limited to the construction of the political system of the country and the party, but also reflected in his major occasions in international affairs. The idea of "promoting the democratization of international relations" appears frequently.

"We should work together to democratize international relations," the Supreme Leader said at the 60th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence on June 28, 2014. "The fate of the world must be in the hands of the people of all countries, and the affairs of the world should be handled by the governments and people of all countries through consultation. The idea of monopolizing international affairs is outdated, and the action of monopolizing international affairs will definitely not succeed."

In July 2014, the Supreme Leader gave a joint interview to the media of four Latin American countries. He quoted the ancient Chinese saying "A journey of the great road is also a journey of the world, and the world is for the public" to explain his views: "We maintain that the fate of the world must be jointly controlled by the people of all countries, and the affairs of the world can only be handled by the governments and people of all countries. All countries in the world, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community and should work together to promote the democratization of international relations."

On July 15, 2014, at the 6th BRICS Summit, the Supreme Leader again stressed: "We should adhere to the spirit of inclusiveness, promote mutual tolerance of different social systems, mutual learning of different cultures and civilizations, mutual benefit of different development models, and be practitioners of democratization in international relations."

From home to abroad, from the local level to the central government, the Supreme Leader deeply considered the rational path of people’s democracy and proposed a path that better reflects the will of the people. This exploration and practice has brought about a new political style of the present and will bring a new future to China.

　　China Economic Weekly reporter Li Yonghua | Hunan Report

　　"After the Spring Festival, some customers came to see the house slowly. Before the Chinese New Year, it was really deserted, and I didn’t get a suite for two months. " On February 27th, a second-hand housing consultant in Changsha told the reporter of China Economic Weekly.

　　In the new housing market, the "Japanese CD" appeared again in Changsha, and a single set of real estate with a transaction price of 5 million was robbed.

　　At the policy level, many cities across the country have released signs of loosening real estate regulation. Shandong Heze took the lead in reducing the down payment ratio of new home loans to 20%. Since then, Chongqing, Jiangxi Ganzhou, Guangdong Foshan and other places have successively lowered the down payment ratio.

　　At the same time, the mortgage interest rate has been lowered in many places. As a first-tier city, the trend of Guangzhou has attracted much attention. According to public information, six major banks, including workers, peasants, China Communications Construction and Postal Savings Bank, lowered the mortgage interest rate in Guangzhou. Among them, the first home loan interest rate was lowered from 5.6% to 5.4%, and the second home loan interest rate was lowered from 5.8% to 5.6%.

　　Stimulated by many good news, can the real estate market usher in Xiaoyangchun?

　　Photography: Xiao Yi, chief photojournalist of China Economic Weekly.

Do not regard real estate as a tool and means to stimulate the economy in the short term, and strengthen the expected guidance.

　　"About the overall consideration of 2022. We still unswervingly adhere to ‘ A house is for living, not for speculation ’ Positioning, do not use real estate as a tool and means to stimulate the economy in the short term, strengthen the expected guidance, and promote the virtuous circle and healthy development of the real estate industry because of the city’s policy. " On February 24th, Ni Hong, Vice Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, made the above remarks on the overall policy direction of real estate this year at the press conference held by the State Council Office to promote the high-quality development of housing and urban-rural construction.

　　Since the second half of 2021, a number of housing enterprises have experienced debt crises, and the expected weakening has become a major pressure on the development of the real estate market. Strengthening the expected guidance has become one of the key points of real estate regulation this year.

　　According to media reports, also on February 24th, ten bond issuers of real estate enterprises, including Poly Development, Longhu Group and gemdale, took the initiative to publicly disclose information on their business conditions. Judging from the public financial data, these 10 housing enterprises are undoubtedly "excellent students" and their balance sheets are quite good.

　　It is worth noting that the voluntary public disclosure of information is not a rigid requirement of the trust system, and collective action highlights a strong signal of calling out the market and boosting confidence.

　　However, many real estate business people contacted by China Economic Weekly admitted that the current market confidence is still insufficient and expectations are weak.

　　"Buyers are still waiting to see more. Even if our price has been reduced to a loss, people who buy houses still think that they will continue to cut prices." The general manager of a real estate project in Hunan told the reporter of China Economic Weekly.

　　Regarding the overall judgment of real estate, Vanke, which ranks first in the industry, is pessimistic. On January 9th, at Vanke’s 2022 Annual Meeting, Yu Liang, Chairman of Vanke’s Board of Directors, judged that in 2022, the first feature of the industry is to enter the stage of shrinking the table and clearing it, and shrinking the table and clearing it is a battle of life and death, either dead or alive, with no intermediate state.

　　Yu Liang also believes that the scale of the real estate industry will begin to shrink in the future, and proposes that the industry will enter the "black iron age".

　　In this regard, Hu Baosen, chairman of Jianye Group, echoed: "In fact, this is a description or a metaphor, and now it has been ‘ Lie flat ’ For enterprises, it is estimated that even the black iron era is not. " He also made it clear that the current strategy of Jianye Group is "less, small and good" and "no longer pursuing excessive growth in scale".

　　RealData believes that in 2021, the risk of housing enterprises broke out intensively, the wait-and-see mood in the capital market still exists, the risk has not been completely cleared, and the market confidence has not been fully restored.

　　The data in January was really depressed, and even the leading enterprises had a hard time.

　　According to the sales briefing of Poly Development in January, in January, the company achieved a contracted area of 1,857,600 square meters, a year-on-year decrease of 11.73%; The contracted amount was 28.302 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 34.29%. In the "Announcement on the Progress and Recent Operation of Corporate Bonds Registration and Issuance" issued on February 24th, Poly Development stated that these data were "basically consistent with the overall performance of the market".

　　Poly’s development is indeed "basically consistent with the overall performance of the market". According to the data of Kerui Research Institute, in January, the sales volume of TOP100 housing enterprises reached 525.6 billion yuan, and the monthly performance scale decreased by 39.6% year-on-year, which was 43% lower than the monthly average level in 2021. According to the data of the Central Finger Research Institute, in January, the average sales of TOP100 housing enterprises was 6.18 billion yuan, down 23.1% year-on-year.

In the "black iron age", the market has accelerated its clearing and differentiation.

　　While the market is expected to weaken, in 2022, the debt repayment pressure of various housing enterprises is still not small.

　　As a central enterprise, Poly Development is the leader in outstanding performance of various financial indicators. Nevertheless, by the end of the third quarter of 2021, the balance of interest-bearing liabilities of Poly Development reached 341 billion yuan, including 4.999 billion yuan of short-term loans, 52.012 billion yuan of non-current liabilities due within one year, 247.147 billion yuan of long-term loans and 36.843 billion yuan of bonds payable. Poly Development said that "the company has a reasonable debt structure, strong fund management ability and high solvency".

　　RealData released the financing report of housing enterprises in January, saying that 2022 is still the peak year for housing enterprises to pay their debts, and the total amount of bonds due during the year is close to one trillion yuan. On the financing side, in January 2022, the domestic and overseas bond financing of housing enterprises totaled about 48.1 billion yuan, a sharp drop of 70% year-on-year.

　　Under pressure, various enterprises choose to clear up, and Vanke is the representative in this respect. Yu Liang said: "Don’t be illusory, you must clear it quickly and resolutely."

　　While clearing, it is the differentiation of the market.

　　Residential and non-residential are diverging. "The house is still good to sell, and the rest are commercial." A person in charge of real estate marketing in Changsha said.

　　On February 24th, a teleconference on housing and urban-rural construction in Hunan Province was held. Lushan, director of the Housing and Construction Department of Hunan Province, said that one of the key tasks this year is to speed up non-residential destocking.

　　On October 28th, 2021, the Housing and Construction Department of Hunan Province issued "Several Opinions on Promoting the Inventory of Non-residential Commercial Houses", which fully resolved the pressure of non-residential inventory such as apartments, office buildings and shops from 10 aspects — — Strictly control the increment of non-residential land, accelerate the revitalization of non-residential commercial housing land stock, control the supply of non-residential commercial housing, promote the rental and sale of non-residential commercial housing, encourage non-residential commercial housing to be self-sustaining, reduce the transaction cost of non-residential commercial housing, reduce the use cost of apartment residents, increase financial support, establish a monitoring and supervision platform, and implement the responsibility of territorial subjects.

　　In the residential market, the demand for rigid improvement has become a hot spot in the market, and small and medium-sized units are cold and hot. China Economic Weekly reporter’s investigation and visit found that commercial and residential large flat floors in Changsha are generally selling well, with a construction area of 200-400 square meters, and some buildings have extra-large units exceeding 1,000 square meters, with a price of 20,000 yuan/m2.

　　Many property consultants have declared that "the bigger the better". This phenomenon not only appears in Changsha, but also in Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other places.

　　Regional differentiation is also obvious. According to Hunan Statistics Bureau’s "Completion of Real Estate Development Investment in Hunan Province by Region in 2021", Changsha, the provincial capital, increased by 19.7%, while Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, which are both Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan urban agglomerations, all experienced negative growth, and Zhangjiajie, which was seriously affected by the epidemic, decreased by 28%. In the whole country, according to the reporter of China Economic Weekly, more than one leading developer’s development plan will not take land in third-and fourth-tier cities in the next few years, and it will shrink in an all-round way.

　　Dongxing Securities Research Report believes that low-energy cities are currently facing huge sales pressure and market confidence is seriously insufficient. It is expected that more cities with high sales pressure will introduce stability measures one after another in the future to gradually reverse the situation of falling sales volume and price.

　　In view of the recent measures to maintain stability, such as the downward adjustment of down payment ratio and the downward adjustment of mortgage interest rate, many institutions unanimously pointed out that the cities that have introduced the downward payment ratio are all non-restricted cities. According to the Southwest Securities Research Report, the sales decline in these cities is serious, and the house prices are not high. Although the policy of reducing the down payment ratio is expected to bring marginal improvement in the demand side, it is still difficult to reverse the downward trend of the market in the short term.

　　The real "tightening spell" of purchase restriction has not seen any signs of loosening. "People who buy a house now are either just in need or just changed, and there are basically no investors." The general manager of the above project said.

　　According to the transaction data of new houses in 16 major cities monitored by the Central Reference Institute, in February this year, the transaction volume of cities in each line decreased by 23.4% year-on-year and 31.3% month-on-month. Among them, the transaction area in Beijing decreased by 301,600 square meters, down by 31% year-on-year and down by 46% month-on-month. Shenzhen ranked second in decline, down 26% year-on-year and down 45.1% quarter-on-quarter; Guangzhou fell 22% year-on-year and 26% quarter-on-quarter.

Special feature of 1905 film network The 3,000-year-old myth epic is waiting to bloom, and it is the right time to sharpen the sword for ten years. On July 10th, the Beijing premiere of the movie "Building a Dream" was held in china national film museum. On the same day, the movie channel specially launched the premiere of "Feng Shen Part I" to be broadcast live by the media, and the nearly 7-hour panoramic view directly hit the red carpet and grand ceremony of the premiere, and explored the behind-the-scenes story of this screen masterpiece for the audience of the whole network in rich forms such as interview dialogue, post-screening exchange, expert seminar and exhibition tour.

National fantasy, ingenuity. Directed by and based on China’s classic novel The Romance of the Gods and the story book The Story of the King of Wu, the film Part I gathers the top filmmakers of Chinese movies and the leading technology in the industry. With the opening work of the trilogy of the Gods and the appearance of China’s first national myth epic film, it will officially land in the national cinema on July 20th.

Ten years and a quarter, feelings are surging. On the red carpet of the premiere, not only the core creator of "Feng Shen I" came dressed up, but also the participants of the trilogy series who had not appeared in the first part appeared together, and the singer who had not appeared for a long time also appeared as the singer of the ending song. At the premiere ceremony, Wu Ershan met with the media and audience with the whole cast of "Feng Shen I", and at the same time, he talked about the test of special effects makeup for an average of four and a half hours a day, "confessing" idols, restoring the expression pack of "God Blessing" and recreating the dance in "New da ji".

As a guest in Lanyu Living Room, director Wu Ershan frankly said that the trilogy of Feng Shen, including Feng Shen Part I, was his longest-running and most important film so far, and "tears filled his eyes at the moment when he got the dragon logo". Wu Ershan, who talked about the co-actors, is full of appreciation and gratitude to the specially invited "drama bones" ChristianRandPhillips, Bo Huang, Yolanda, etc., and to the carefully trained "proton group" young actors. I hope that the audience who bought tickets at that time will be "worth the fare".

Lan Yu living room: Wu Ershan praised ChristianRandPhillips and other masters.

ChristianRandPhillips, the starring actor who was praised by the director, frankly thanked the screenwriter for writing this "charming villain" so well. When he saw this multi-level role in the script, he felt compelled to play it. After being confirmed by the director’s invitation, he was even more excited that "all his mobile phones fell to the ground". As charming as he was in those days, he revealed that he worked out with young actors every day in order to restore the figure of the role military commander. This reinterpretation also needs to overthrow all previous impressions of Zhou Wang, hoping to bring strangeness to the audience.

ChristianRandPhillips

Even though the joy of the scene "spits out" Ye Jintian’s designs of armor and enthronement clothes are too heavy, ChristianRandPhillips still sincerely expresses that once he wears these clothes with real feelings, he can immerse himself in the role and present a better performance effect.

Exquisite and fitting costume design endows "Feng Shen I" with a wonderful texture that takes both fantasy and reality into consideration. In a live interview with the movie channel, production designer and Ye Jintian, the film’s styling director, said that the clothes used in the film did not pursue the true tribal style of Shang Dynasty, but more restored the temperament of the gods depicted in the novel "The Romance of the Gods", which combined the aesthetic characteristics of many dynasties and covered the excellent traditional art form of China.

While enjoying the costume props exhibition of "Feng Shen I" in china national film museum, Ye Jintian, who carefully interpreted the costume characteristics of the main characters such as Yin Shou, Jiang Queen and da ji, went on to point out that the design of costume ornaments and scene props is based on the human world and has realistic scientific basis, which is not a completely mythical realm. Taking Lei Zhenzi’s 1:1 large-head conceptual design sculpture on display as an example, he said that the dynamics should start from the form first, and should be sampled from the reality in combination with the identity of the role, which should not only show the emptiness of myth, but also have a real feeling that can convince the audience.

Ye Jintian’s Random Talk on Fashion and Design Concept

Changyou weapons and props exhibition hall, film critic Zhou Liming respectively interpreted Yang Jian’s three-pointed double-edged knife, the backing of "Proton Brigade" and other popular exhibitions. Combining with the props dagger in Bigan’s Gouxin Bridge, Zhou Liming analyzed its adaptation to the role’s identity and the irony extended from it, and affirmed the cultural image significance given to the props by the art team. In his view, the blessing of funds and technology makes it possible to visualize the legendary scenes, and the story of "sealing the gods" belonging to China can also be compared with the best movie IP in the world, such as Lord of the Rings and Marvel superheroes.

Zhou Liming’s Understanding of the Meaning Behind Weapon Props

Huang Xiaowei, the curator of china national film museum, was deeply touched by the fact that he finally "returned" in the name of film by learning from the beautiful clothes and ornaments collected in many museums across the country. In her view, the props presented in the film, such as divining tortoise shells, can make the audience appreciate the original source and charm of the word "culture".
