Although it is far from the National Day, although it is the cold period before the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival, it is undeniable that this November movie market is full of infinite surprises, with many types and sizes. The Chinese and foreign films of the theme are fixed here, and the movie market in November is booming.

In this, there is a “late” 21-year date that draws the hearts of many people. That is, the 4K restoration of “Sea Pianist” is scheduled for November 15. As a classic masterpiece of the history of famous movies, it is also a touch of “White Moonlight” in the hearts of countless fans. “The Sea Pianist” first landed on the mainland screen with a 4K repair version. It can be said that this is not only a heavy weight for the November movie market. Plus pounds, it is a feast of countless fans, of course, it is also likely to become another box office surprise in the mainland film market.

One, not all movies are called “classic”, the history and market position of “The Sea Pianist”

Speaking of “The Sea Pianist”, I believe that most people will not be unfamiliar, especially the audience with a little amount of watching will be quite familiar – why do you dare to say this? Of course, because this film is arrogant!

As one of the Italian film masters, Giuseppe Tona Torre’s “Sicilian Trilogy” is famous in the world, and “Sea Pianist” is one of the “Sicilian Trilogy”. The film has swept the world’s 22 awards since its release, including the European Film Award, the American Golden Globe Award, the Italian David Award and other awards. At the same time, although the film has been released for 21 years (1998 premiere), but the film still maintains a high reputation on a global scale. For example, IMDb gave a high score of 8.1, and the overseas media did not deserve the praise of the film. The Washington Post, the international prestige of the United States, once commented on the film: “This is a charming, amazing and beautiful sea epic.”

In the domestic aspect, the film is not only ranked 15th in the Dopo TOP250, but also has 9.2 million high scores on the site, and more than 5,500 comments on the Douban page. There are more than 170,000 people, and the number of people who have seen the film is more than 1.3 million. It is really rare to know that there are such movies and reputations. In addition, “offshore steel”Qinshi” has become a must-have item in the learning process of film-related majors. Whether it is in the classroom of teacher-pull filming during exam training or in the classic textbooks of classic appreciation, this film has always been on the list and is regarded as ” The textbooks are excellent in level, and you can see the classics of the film.

Of course, the “Palace of the Sea”, which is generally preached by the world, has already accumulated a wide audience and a deep emotional foundation after a long period of 21 years. A rare piece of love in the hearts of fans. The film has been announced after the finalization of the file, causing a hot discussion on the Internet. The topic #4KRepaired Sea Pianist Fixing File# quickly advertised on Weibo in an hour, and also related topics on the movie. The list, the reading volume is as high as 200 million, and the discussion volume has exceeded 100,000. Everyone has said that “seeing crying, I must support!” “I can still see it in the cinema during my lifetime.” “I finally got on, the classic TOP3 in my heart”… The views of the people in the discussion are clearly visible.

In addition to the boiling from the audience, there are 60+ media and Weibo V to release the video information, including Sina, NetEase, Global, Sohu and many other media. Reports, can be described as triggered the attention of the whole network. According to the data of the Taobao ticket, the number of people who want to watch the movie on the day of the announcement is more than 60,000. As of now, the number of people who want to watch the movie is the highest in the release of the film in November, and the market enthusiasm is also evident.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the “Sea Pianist” who will land on the mainland’s big screen on November 15 is more unique because it releases the 4K repair version that has never been seen before . It is well known that this is an old film. In the process of playing, it is inevitable to face many problems caused by the erosion of old film, which will affect the playback effect of the film more or less. The upcoming “Sea Pianist” is restored by the most advanced 4K technology, which restores the worn image and sound to the state of the year, and also restores the original color of the film, so that the color saturation of the picture is adjusted to The most suitable for screen viewing.

This version of “Sea Pianist” after 4K repair, not only the screen resolution is greatly improved, every small detail in the lens is perfectly presented, every note can be turned, and the film still maintains the film. The unique texture of the film, such as rich layers of light and shadow effects, delicate and real grain texture, can be said to restore the dream world in the movie.

At the same time, regarding the version of the film, I would like to emphasize that the “Piano Pianist” that will be released in the Mainland will last for 125 minutes, which is the same as the original version of the world. Many fans mistakenly believe that this is a truncated version, but it is not, because the other 169-minute version of the film is the director’s edit extended version, this version only shown in Italy (The director and overseas publishers have been swearing for a long time because of this length of time), so the domestic release version is the standard unified global release version.

With so many legends and brilliance, and taking the wings of modern film technology to leap into time and geography, the “sea pianist” in front of us is now more valuable.


Second, a movie to look back at the 20th century film industry: The comprehensive value interpretation of “The Sea Pianist”

Information Jun has a prophecy in the previous article (in fact, it is an assertion), the addition of “Sea Pianist” will become the entire November movie market A heavy weight plus, is also a (maybe the only one) sentimental feast for the majority of the fans, because whether it is from the history of film history or From the perspective of the emotional appreciation of the audience, “The Sea Pianist” has its unique advantages.

First of all, as an outstanding representative in the history of 20 world film development, “The Sea Pianist” not only has a high aesthetic value and ideological value at the content level, but also represents the 20 world film industry in the art value dimension. The forefront of development.

According to the information, the production of “Sea Pianist” cost 20 million US dollars, This was far beyond the average of the Italian film. And at high cost, director Giuseppe Tonatore led the production team to establish a rigorous industrial production process, in a post-production production released yesterday, through a period of 2 points 30 The precious video material of the second goes back to the behind-the-scenes story of the film.

It can be seen that behind the “Sea Pianist”, Giuseppe Tonatore is not only massiveUsing the split-screen script, I have drawn thousands of drawings, arranged from the beginning in the order of shooting, and then filled the small details in the shooting process;

At the same time, the main scene of the film, Virginia, also uses the combination of real scene plus special effects. The close-up shot uses a real Soviet retired ship, while the film is sailing on the sea. The ship came from a 1:40 model ship, and the production team combined the materials of the ship and the resin to create the ship that sailed on the sea in the film. Of course, it is precisely because of the pre-production, the modification of the special effects synthesis is also very small, it can be said that it is a labor saving for post-production, and the film has won the Italian David Award for many times with its superb production and design level. The best production design award among the many awards such as the Italian Silver Ribbon Award and the Satellite Award;

As another example, Tim Rose, who plays the male 1900, wouldn’t play the piano, but the picture of the piano that appeared in the film was played by Tim Rosie, because Tim was trying to achieve it in the play. In the effect of the combination, the piano training was carried out half a year before the film was started, ensuring that you learned the fingering action when playing the piano and the posture of sitting in the piano.

In addition, “The Sea Pianist” is the largest production team at that time, the most lively time in the crew includes 45 actors, 75 staff and 10,000 people. actor. The filming time was 110 days, and 19 and 11 exteriors were built in Rome and Odessa respectively.There are also as many as 2,500 costumes, and it is possible to mobilize such a large-scale team and work together to complete the creation of this classic film. It also shows the superb skill that the director had at the time.

Therefore, behind the “Sea Pianist”, actually embodies the techniques and wisdom of the 20th century film industry, and this film presents a high-level silhouette of the film industry at that time. Measured from the perspective of film history, This film will not only bring us back to the classic era, but also have great significance for studying and studying the development and evolution of the film industry.

At the same time, from the emotional level, can detonate everyone’s emotional climax after the release of the news, showing the strong emotional pillar behind the “Sea Pianist” and the enthusiasm of a wide range of fans. Especially for the mainland audience, this film history classic has never been officially released on the big screen, it can be said that it is a pity in 21 years. Nowadays, the film will not only be released soon, but will also be presented in the best posture of the 4K repair version, which will undoubtedly be a feast for the fans. Of course, for the wider audience, if they have not seen this classic movie, it is a beautiful thing to watch such a masterpiece on the big screen.

In addition, the intelligence officer also wants to talk about the “world’s significance” of Sea Pianist. The reason why the classic is classic is naturally its timeless spirit and emotional world.The world is like the 1900 in the pure land of the film. In the past 20 years, this unique image of the history has touched countless people and affected countless people. The departure and stay of the 1900 has always caused countless hot discussions. This is the classic. The value of it, it always has the ability to think, the meaning of moving and the memories that people never forget, so the spirit and emotional world it presents is closely related to us. In the past few years, the topic of life, freedom, loneliness and dreams has continued in the film, and these topics are also the focus of attention in the current society. Therefore, after the film is released, the discussion and thinking of these extended meanings will inevitably erupt. A new boom.

Looking at the film’s schedule environment, the same-named movie version of the contemporary era song “About Winter” released in conjunction with “Sea Pianist”, also has overseas word-of-mouth animation, nomination for the Anne Award The film “The Pirates of the Dream”, and Li Jun’s new suspense crime “Chang’an Road”, the competition is still fierce. But year-on-year, “The Sea Pianist” has obvious advantages, a wide audience and prominent reputation. This classic has not only the time, but also the artistic value, spiritual value or emotional value of the work. Power, and the core of the world’s film industry after the baptism of the wind and rain, we often say “want to see classic movies”, and “Sea Pianist” is a classic film without a doubt.

In today’s increasingly mature film market environment and audience, film word-of-mouth and its box office scores have basically been in direct proportion, forming a good and orderly health market ecology, so the intelligence Jun also has more reason to believe that sitting on the global high reputation The “Sea Pianist” entered the Chinese mainland film market, which will inevitably add a touch of color to its legendary career.

On November 15th, “The Sea Pianist” was released. I didn’t catch up with its legendary debut 21 years ago. After 21 years, it debuted in a better way. Don’t miss it.
