Family is a very important part of Xu Zheng's comedy films, from the relatively early "People in Embarrassment" to the later "Embarrassment", and even most of them use some part of the family as the driving force to promote the whole movie.

For example, the ultimate goal of "People in Embarrassment" is to go home, or the idea of breaking away from the shackles of the current family and forming a new family in "Hong Kong".

In the later period, the family has become the main carrier of the plot, such as the family trip in "Hong Kong", and the mother-son trip in "Mother".

Not only that, but there is also a characteristic in all his films, that is, "family fulfillment".

The consummation here is not necessarily the kind of happy ending with Hemeimei, there is also the ending of the final breakup of the husband and wife, but there is a commonality, that is, no matter what the final ending of the husband and wife, or the family, everyone must have a better understanding, become a better self, and have a better future, which is the "consummation" of it.

Compared with these movies, "Thai Embarrassment" is a little "alternative", the main characters and the main purpose of driving the plot have nothing to do with the family.

When Zhang Bufan received the first draft of the story given to him by Xu Zheng, he had already discovered this situation, and even at the end of the story, there was no mention of what happened to Xu Lang's family and Gao Bo's family.

Zhang Bufan also analyzed the reasons for this, and finally came to the conclusion that this can actually be regarded as the second part of the "Xu Zheng Comedy Movie", and even in terms of removing the "impure blood" of "People in Embarrassment", this movie can be regarded as the pioneering work of "Xu Zheng Comedy Movie" in the real sense, and at this time, some characteristics have not yet been formed, such as family, or thinking about family.

Of course, Zhang Bufan also knows that if he hands over the script to Xu Zheng to get it himself, these things will still appear, but compared with the later ones, the handling of the family part in this one is still a little rough.

For example, when Xu Lang told Wang Bao that he was in conflict with Gao Bo, he deliberately guided him to Xu Lang's cheating on Gao Bo's wife, which was very abrupt, but it was also reasonable, it can be understood as Xu Lang's outburst after being continuously questioned, telling the secret in his heart, and it can also show Xu Lang's cunning and cunning.

But on the other hand, it is not enough, that is, Gao Bo's anger when he heard from Wang Bao that Xu Lang cheated on his wife.

He didn't even doubt the truth of this matter, but directly believed it, and called to question his wife.

Of course, if you take a serious look at the products, you can still hear something from the dialogue between their husband and wife, just like Xu Lang and his wife, Gao Bo and his wife are also full of contradictions, this man who obviously loves his career more than his family, and even does not accompany his wife when she is pregnant and about to give birth, just to snatch the oil bully from Xu Lang's hands.

And in the face of such a man, his wife must be full of complaints, and the family must be full of contradictions.

But these still can't explain that he directly believed the words of Wang Bao, a person who has almost never met, and the point is that when he saw this paragraph, most people cared about Huang Bo's performance, as for what the connotation of that dialogue was, or even what that dialogue was, it didn't matter.

This is the problem, and these problems also reveal another problem, that is, Gao Bo's character - a person who doesn't care about the family, and even does not accompany his wife during childbirth, but asks his wife whether he is cheating without any evidence and just hearsay, such a man, suddenly realized, this is simply the same as putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel abrupt.

As a screenwriter, Zhang Bufan thinks that these are not right, just like when he stubbornly spent a long time modifying the bugs in "The Great Gold Robbery", so he made certain modifications to these.

For example, Xu Lang told Wang Bao that he was cheating on Gao Bo's wife, but it was actually a quarrel between the husband and wife sitting next to him on the train because of the derailment, which inspired Xu Lang.

Another example is Gao Bo, although he left his wife to give birth and came to Tyrande to pursue Xu Lang, he still maintained the habit of talking on the phone with his family all the time.

This made the previous scene two more scenes of Gao Bo and his wife talking on the phone, of course, although he asked about his wife's situation, it eventually turned into a quarrel, and in the process, his wife said things like "How can I marry a man like you", "You must know that I might as well find another man", "I really hope this child is not yours".

And it is precisely with this premise that there is a later belief.

At the same time, it is also because of these caring phone calls - whether it is about the wife or the child in his womb that there is the ecstasy when he learns from the phone that his wife has given birth to a son - if a person is not interested in something at all, how can you make him ecstatic because of these?

Obviously, Xu Zheng also saw this, and gave quite affirmation to these, "I have always felt that the story of simply competing for oil tyrants is a bit monotonous, just like the original "People in Embarrassment", if there is no Li Chenggong, Niu Geng and Dawei The three family stories are the same problem. ”

"It's different now, three characters, three different family stories, there are ups and downs and twists and turns, but in the end they all come to a conclusion, and in an instant the whole story is not only full, but even has a feeling of sublimation. ”

"You are too fond of this, it is just some small plot arrangements, far enough to sublimate the movie. However, the topic of family is indeed an invincible weapon in this type of movie, but it also has to be mastered. Zhang Bufan said that there is a kind of pride, the pride of educating future directors to "embark on the right path".

Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Bufan's words, Xu Zheng fell into thought.

Zhang Bufan didn't give him too much time to think, or should I say that when he was thinking, it was the best time to fool.

"If you want to thank me for all this contribution to the film, do me a favor. Zhang Bufan took the opportunity to speak.

"Hmm, what's the hurry?" Sure enough, he was still thinking about Zhang Bufan's words.

"My daughter-in-law has recently been criticized for her acting skills, and I also want to improve my acting skills, so I want to find a drama actor to learn and learn. However, after all, both of us are actors now, especially since she is still a big star, and it is not appropriate to go to Beiying Chinese Opera to find students to rehearse together, so I still have to find you. ”

Zhang Bufan clapped his hands and stood up, preparing to leave Xu Zheng's bedroom, "Besides, you know my 'Zhang Xiaochu', right?
