In the past ten years, the so-called excellent comedy movies in China have either been a collection of Feng Xiaogang-style jokes, or a short small market in the parents, with witty language and upward themes, but the narrative technique is just one word, flat.

"Crazy Stone" is advanced here!

He was the first domestic comedy film to adopt a multi-line narrative.

We know that film storytelling is all about editing, that is, montage!

The montage in "Crazy Stone" is very interesting.

The whole is a cross montage to tell the story, the three clues are sometimes connected, sometimes disconnected, and a piece of time and space is divided into three angles to see, which greatly increases the capacity of the film and makes the details richer, especially in the second half of the film, the three clues continue to collide, and the camera is quickly cut between the three perspectives, so that people dare not miss any detail, this tension is something that continuous montage can't do.

The so-called continuous montage is the meaning of the cut...

Not only that, but the script itself is very interesting:

There are three groups of characters in the story, the international thief hired by real estate developer Xu Zheng from Xiangjiang, led by Brother Dao, supplemented by Heipi and Xiaojun as the thief trio, and Bao Shihong as the head of the security department.

The three groups form an ingenious triangle, and you come and go between the three, fighting wits and courage, and the slightly absurd stories become interlocking and ups and downs, and many plots are amazing after the audience watches them.

And the core of this story is very clear, it is that piece of jade!

This also guarantees that comedy doesn't become a farce...

......

At the beginning of the movie, the first thing that catches your eye is a close-up of Bao Shihong's tangled face and the doctor's calm voice, a close-up of switching to a faucet, tick, tick...

As the doctor turned off the faucet, the close-up of Bao Shihong's face also changed, and the eyebrows that were pinched loosened became a serious face.

And then he was "**" ...

With a scream, it switched to a top-down camera, aerial photography of Chongqing, Xie Xiaomeng's voice appeared, and it was a close-up, Lu Xiaoran's face...

Ning Hao's close-up is different, and he usually shoots his face right!

No, he first had a close-up of Lu Xiaoran's lower face, then a full-face close-up, switched to a close-up of Jingjing's upper face, and then Jingjing gave Lu Xiaoran a roll of his eyes...

"I was thinking about this when I looked up and saw you. There's something about you that touches me deeply! Do you know what it is? Motherhood, great motherhood!"

Jingjing, who looked unhappy, turned her head and smiled at Lu Xiaoran, and without warning, she raised her foot and stepped on Lu Xiaoran's instep fiercely.

With Xie Xiaomeng's scream, Coke fell from the ropeway...

The camera switched again, and the white-collar four-eyed appeared,

In the first scene, the action of looking down at the car door, the close-up of the white leather shoes, the close-up of the closing of the door, looking up at the mirror at the angle, opening the panorama, the audience sees his suit and leather shoes - all of this has a strong contrast with the characters who appeared before, and the identity is different.

He is not a member of the Slings family.

The shots about the four eyes are all elevation, and the elevation angle depicts the person's personality, arrogance, pride, and no one in his eyes, and when it comes to Director Xie, it is no longer an elevation angle, but a flat angle shooting...

Then, the trio of Brother Dao, Heipi, and Xiaojun appeared;

In the first six minutes, all the characters appear, but what are they talking about?

It's a bit of a headless...

I don't know what I want to express...

In the audience, some viewers whispered: "What is this horse shooting?"

“... I don't understand it. ”

"Who's the main character?"

“... How do I know?"

"Forget it, let's go down and support the boss!"

This boss is Andy Lau...

Well, the story has officially begun!

Xie Xiaomeng, played by Lu Xiaoran, whose Coke can fell from the sky and smashed Bao Shihong's van.

Just when Bao Shihong got out of the car and scolded, because the car was in a downhill state, it automatically slid down, and hit the four-eyed BMW that came to collect debts, and this accident made the police inadvertently let go of Brother Dao's three thieves, and the whole story quickly got on track...

"Oh, dog, it's still high-tech! Unmanned, I didn't see it! bmw! Don't touch me! Don't be a fool!"

Finally, the audience burst into laughter!

Four words popped up in my mind: I see!

The seemingly scattered shots just now have made the main characters and causal relationships in the film clear...

Ning Hao also worked hard to learn Guy Ritchie, and in just a few minutes, he used two small flashbacks...

With the development of the plot, the main line of the story gradually became clear, and the factory director dug up a priceless jadeite and wanted to rely on it to bring the factory back to life, but it provoked all parties to get moved.

In addition to the two forces of Brother Dao and Feng Dong, there are also branches of Sanbao, Xie Xiaomeng's branches, Bao Shihong's obscure illness, and so on...

In the face of such a wealth of clues, the audience quickly learned the correct way to watch the movie, and no longer made a fuss about the ambushes set up by Ning Hao - the audience's receptivity is very strong!

"I'll give you a lung!"

"I'm a brand, Baleno!"

"Nike?

"You women, you just don't understand, this stage is the rising period of my career, how can I walk away?"

"My daughter-in-law was slept with by someone else, and no one cared about her... We're not married, but we have real feelings... No one cares if you get married, and there is no royal law?!... What kind of lawyer are you?"

"Come, kid, give your daddy a call. ”

"You first insulted my personality, and now you are insulting my IQ!"

The hilarious lines came one after another, making the laughter of the entire movie theater one after another, and there was almost no time to stop.

In a word: the rhythm is tight, the baggage is full, and there are no urine spots throughout the process.

The ending of the story is also like most domestic movies, good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, and Bao Shihong, who kept the kindness, had the last laugh.

When he was with his lover on the dock, he smiled brightly, the lover who was always by his side, the kindness in his heart, these are the real priceless treasures, and no matter how expensive the jade is, it can't be exchanged!

At the end of the film, Huang Bo is biting bread and is chased by the shopkeeper on a motorcycle, Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" sounds, and the film ends...

......

"Whoa!"

The audience spontaneously slapped their hands and saluted the sincerity and enthusiasm of this movie, to all the main creators, and to the sincerity and enthusiasm inside.

There is a saying that the comedy that the audience likes is not the kind of movie that yells at the audience, 'Laugh! You laugh on the horse, Lao Tzu eats, why don't you laugh?', the audience wants to be really funny!

"Crazy Stone" clearly fulfills that!

Before "Stone", most of the comedy forms were presented in the form of selling ugliness and derogatory.

What about "Stone"? Amuse the audience with the most down-to-earth and suitable for the misunderstanding caused by the environment at that time, without any deliberateness, without any artificiality...

But it just makes people laugh and watch the whole film!

It's a skill!

All in all, it's a really crazy and fun movie, with a clever story, a great soundtrack, good editing, and great actors!

......

After the film screening, the audience and reporters went out to solve a personal problem - the experience of holding urine!

About twenty minutes later, the host held the microphone: "Come, applause, please director Ning Hao, starring Guo Tao, Lian Jing, Liu Hua, Lu Xiaoran, Huang Bo, Yue Xiaojun on the stage!"
