Chapter 960 Rejoice
Chapter 960: Rejoice
In the previous life, before the release of "Hong Kong", it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a lot of expectations, after experiencing the madness of "Thai Embarrassment", people are looking forward to Xu Zheng being able to produce another masterpiece, only a few people said that Xu Zheng was embarrassed all the way to the end, I am afraid that he will eat this theme cleanly.
Those remarks were all denounced by fans who supported Xu Zheng as not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes were sour.
But in the end, it turned out that those few people didn't expect this movie, which was a very wise choice, and in addition, it once again proved a truth, it is inevitable that fried cold rice will become more and more rancid.
Song Zheng couldn't help but be disappointed after watching it in his previous life, he didn't even know how to evaluate this movie, of course, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is definitely not a bad movie, and at the same time, it is definitely not as good as the first two, and in terms of completion, the laughter is scarce, the plot is old-fashioned and fried cold rice, the emotional drama is abrupt, the touching plot is too blunt, and it can't be GET at all, and the rotten stalk has been numb, until the end of the calf is too big, can't be taken back and then it gets out of control, and then there is no ~~~~~~~~ then.
After watching "Hong Kong Embarrassment", Song Zheng even felt that Xu Zheng's lifelong talent had been used up in "Thai Embarrassment", and there was no doubt about the bottleneck, and in this movie, I felt that Xu Zheng had to play too trendy, and upgraded and reformed the genre movie, so that "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is no longer just a funny and light-hearted comedy, but also incorporates youth, nostalgia, love, campus, first love, eroticism, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, family, adventure, police and bandits, suspense, action, gangsters and many other elements that do not match.
It gives people the feeling that their respective fruit platters are skewered, and in the end, in addition to those nostalgic Cantonese classic golden songs and soundtracks, as well as the actors of old Hong Kong films, there are also people who can't spontaneously, such as the iconic Xiangjiang street scene, the others are basically forgotten after watching it, there is no deep impression at all, and there are so many slots that I can't bear it, in general, this is a very embarrassing series.
said that this movie is embarrassing, mainly because this film doesn't seem to tell anything serious from beginning to end, and the story is actually a vulgar story of an old man and his wife who pretend to be honest, and his brother-in-law who goes to Xiangjiang to engage in a little San'er.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this movie is vulgar, and this movie can be said to be the most vulgar of the three in the embarrassing series, all relying on vulgar jokes to piece together vulgar sketches, the same formula, the same raw materials, different actors interpret their own burdens, the whole film shows the audience the rotten culture of Xiangjiang films, and by the way, it also makes a big tribute to the Hong Kong films in the 90s.
The play also incorporates a blunt love story, which is the funniest place for Song Zheng, the unexpected gain after watching the movie, N more advertising placements than laughs, it is too weak and abrupt, to be honest, from the groundedness and pure most dazzling mainland rural style in the first part, to the second old-fashioned, but the audience is willing to buy into the cinema and laugh unscrupulously, to now there are few blunt laughs and rancid rice that is difficult to swallow, I really feel that I will develop more and more in the direction of embarrassment, according to "Hong Kong Embarrassment" With such quality, it is conceivable that this series should also arouse more and more disgust from the audience, and aesthetic fatigue is inevitable, just like watching a Hollywood special effects film.
At the beginning of the movie, Xu Zheng's pure wig and Zhao Wei's stupid big-framed eyes, as well as the blackboard on campus, should understand that this is to youth, campus, and so on.
Finally, come to know yourself, break through obsessions and magic barriers, and finally understand that the best is actually around you, quickly let go of the past, cherish the people in front of you, and people want to have looks, money and wealth, and treat you as an idolater, buy you a gallery in Provence, what else do you want, toss for a long time, the spirit and body have collapsed, only to understand that the wife is the best.
Overall, the plot of the movie is really arranged very tightly, it is estimated that there is no less inverted script, the opening of the youth love drama, the transition of the middle-aged sad drama, and the successful reunion after 20 years, the ultimate task in this movie, interspersed with the old boy vs. the tin man, the bad cop pushes people to jump off the building, and the spoof of the ambiguous place, the most unbearable thing is to force the brother-in-law to stalk, take a broken DV and shoot that, and finally there is a scene where the wife and lover choose one of the two, obviously to show the emotional card on the crumbling glass plate.
After reading it, I can't help but ask: where is the "embarrassment"?
A fat-headed, big-eared, bald and filthy stupid old man, when he was young, he tried to kiss a girl on campus, and when he was middle-aged and couldn't conceive a child, he was raped by his wife, and he was followed by his brother-in-law with a dead skin and a grinning tooth, everyone in this series is "cheap, stupid, and idiotic", it doesn't matter if the IQ is low, the laughter is low, and the bottom line is low, and he also pretends to play the banner of youth nostalgia, taking turns to broadcast the brainwashing golden songs in the Xiangjiang movie, and carry out pretentious sensationalism.
Women are good wives and mothers or white lotus on the surface, and they are green tea with low emotional intelligence in their bones, Zhao Wei rode on the sleeping Xu Zheng, forcibly coped, and then was kidnapped by the bad guys, in the face of the danger of the glass plate, she was stupid and cried bitterly, saving herself or her first love for her husband, and she was jealous, there was a mat under the problem, and then, they couldn't die, after her husband shouted the slogan, she was the one she loved the most!
Another unbearable thing is that the dumpling father's camera is a few hundred meters away from the opposite building, and he can clean and see the face portrait of the person on the roof of the opposite building by pressing a magnifying lens, when the camera is an astronomical telescope?
What the hell is this!?
In addition to the mediocre plot, no new ideas, and fried cold rice, this "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is really an extremely failure in terms of actors, and it can even be described as "embarrassing".
In addition to Xu Zheng's consistent level, a number of familiar passers-by in Hong Kong films are indeed much more eye-catching than the protagonists, all of them are powerful, but the other two protagonists of this film, Xiaoyanzi Zhao Wei and Dumpling Daddy, are really ~~~~~~~
The first is the dumpling father, who is in "Hong Kong" Li has always imitated Wang Baoqiang, and has never been surpassed, the actor Dumpling Dad is actually quite embarrassing in itself, positioned as a comedy actor, but he is neither as powerful as Huang Bo and Uncle Ge, but also down-to-earth to please the audience, nor as charming and temperamental as Sun Honglei, it can be said that the mediocre Dumpling Dad has no audience, but he undeniably still has acting skills, although it is not very good, but it is certain that it is not bad, but most of them have failed to impress the characters and images, and they can only float on the surface like flowing water, and the characters are also seriously face-painted, which is also similar to most domestic tepid actors, but in this "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is amplified of its characteristics.
Song Zheng doesn't know why Wang Baoqiang didn't star in "Hong Kong", but he feels that the dumplings obviously don't have that taste, if he finds his own style and number of ways, it can be regarded as adding fresh blood to this series of movies, but it's a pity that he is trying his best to imitate Wang Baoqiang, although this is to inherit the coherence of the role, but it makes the audience twisted, this is a hard injury caused by working very hard in the movie, the harder you work, the more uncomfortable you feel, and you haven't adapted to this role from beginning to end, "really stupid" may let the audience appreciate it, "pretend to be stupid" It just makes people feel a little incredible.
Wang Baoqiang is cheap enough in "Thai Embarrassment", annoying enough, right?
Dumpling dad just used a clumsy performance, 10,000 times more annoying than him, except for the dead skin and his face followed his brother-in-law, yelling "Are you premature ejaculation?", I know that it is disgusting.
also used hard funny and stupid manners to knock over Lin Xue's father's urn and create evil!
was chased in a hurry, and immediately went to jump off the building, seeing that his DV was thrown off the bridge, he jumped off desperately, why is he not afraid of danger?
Because the script is full of plug-ins, because there are cars below, big living people can't fall to death, and they can continue to make cheap and stupid mistakes.
thought that the big people jumped off the building and did not die, jumped off the bridge and fell on the car, and grabbed the double-decker bus and threw it into the trash can with their bare hands, which is the so-called "nonsensical" spoof of the old Hong Kong-style action movie, which is just Dong Shi's imitation.
Think that the dumpling dad has a wig on his head, wears a frame on his face, holds a broken machine in his hand, and desperately laughs from the depths of his visceral soul, that is a talented comedy performance?
When Song Zheng was watching, he really wanted Xu Zheng to strangle him to death on the spot.
Next is Zhao Wei, the biggest soy sauce little swallow in this movie, she is a big tragedy ruined by Qiong Yao's drama, staring at the name of the champion of Beiying, but she was stifled by the role of Xiaoyanzi All her acting skills, although the relationship is very good, and her daughter-in-law is still best friends, but Song Zheng still has to give Zhao Wei's acting skills in this drama a big zero score.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a soy sauce party, because her role is really very small, she appeared for a while at the beginning, appeared at the end, and there was almost nothing in the middle, but even if she appeared in few scenes, she couldn't hide the exaggeration of Zhao Wei's acting skills and the embarrassing fact that she tried hard to make the audience laugh, but she couldn't laugh, when Song Zheng was watching, he didn't know what Zhao Wei was playing again?
She can really completely ignore the audience and entertain herself to show off!
Zhao Wei's performance in the film always gives people a strong psychological hint, she seems to want to tell the audience that although this is a comedy, what she is acting in is not a comedy, she actually wants to show her acting skills in such a movie.
Song Zheng really felt that it was better to play like she did if she played "Huanzhu Gege", the whole person stiffly held back a twist of resentful women, and the immediate sense presented to people was really an endocrine disorder, and the husband and wife lived an uncoordinated Obasan.
I feel that Zhao Wei seems to be more famous, the more brainy her acting is, there are not too many shots, and she finally survived to the end, she lay on the big glass and completely played a little swallow for the audience, completely without the liveliness and wit of the little swallow, the intuitiveness brought by this disobedience is absurd, and this "absurdity" appears very frequently in this movie.
Speaking of absurdity, absurdity mainly comes from disobedience, through the soundtrack of the movie and those familiar strangers who frequently appear, it can be seen that Xu Zheng's film has a central idea is to pay tribute, and it is very common to pay tribute, but all directors have their own feelings, who has not lived their own film era.
So when the "Tribute" series finally appeared, it was not a very surprising thing, and surprisingly, it appeared too often.
The most undesirable thing is that Xu Zheng interspersed "The Love of My Life" in the bridge section where he met Xiao San'er, and put "Shanghai Tang" in the bridge section where the elevator was blasted, which is not like a tribute, but a spoof.
If a director with feelings, but can't even grasp the proportions of tribute and spoofing, how can he construct a seemingly simple, but actually complex comedy.
When Xu Zheng and Zhao Wei fell from the building, they put on "The Love of My Life" again, and Zhao Wei's shot is somewhat similar to the part where Zixia let go of the hand of the Supreme Treasure in "Journey to the West".
Song Zheng didn't know what Xu Zheng thought about the combination of classic songs and bridges, he could only see that it had never been perfected, if Xu Zheng could be more serious, he would find that this song was used twice on a man and two different women, and "The Love of My Life" definitely does not mean this in "Journey to the West".
Holding hand-painted posters such as "New Love", "Sweet Honey", and "City of Glass", "Shanghai Tang", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The Love of My Life" and other golden songs are rotated, and one or twenty songs are not stopped at all, which is called nostalgia for the golden age of Xiangjiang films?
It's just a greasy and catastrophic skewer of "the drama is not enough to make up the songs".
Of course, the most serious thing is actually the problem of laughter, the laughter is weakened, which makes the movie with no connotation even more meaningless, and the strongest feeling of the whole play is that it seems to collapse at any time.
If "People in Embarrassment" is a realistic "society", then "Thai Embarrassment" is a crazy rampage, what is "Hong Kong"?
"Hong Kong Embarrassment" is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.
It must be admitted that Xu Zheng is very smart, which should be praised, but the problem is that there are too many little cleverness, and in turn, it is a little unclear.
In fact, some people have seen it before the release of this movie, this will not be a good-looking movie, and "Hong Kong" is no longer "embarrassing".
Song Zheng was very much looking forward to the movie before it was released, but after watching it for ten minutes, he suddenly felt that he should stand on the same position as the few, this is really not a good movie, at least compared with the previous "People in Embarrassment" and "Thai Embarrassment", it is indeed disappointing.
Except for the head and tail, basically Song Zheng is suffering from embarrassment, especially when the dumpling father laughs like a mentally retarded person, and reads the lines stupidly: "I just want to pierce the truth."
This sentence seems to be a code word passed on by Xu Zheng to the audience, the existence of "embarrassment" has never been a myth, the high box office is just a wave in this era of too fast material, and the meaning of its existence only comes from the emptiness and restlessness of people's lives.
Xu Zheng found out about this very cleverly, why commercial films are so domineering, and movies like "Little Times" can still be popular at the box office, what people need is powerful hallucinogens.
It's too hard to live in a real world, falling out of love, unemployed, losing health, the money-led society will be eliminated if you are not careful, and even marriage will become a negative sense of security, the spiritual culture of this era is innovating, its speed is very fast, and it has not even been stable, the material changes too fast, but the spirit has no way to keep up with it, it seems turbulent and impetuous.
Of course, as a commercial popcorn film, you can't ask too much, after all, a few disliked views can't represent the public, and I believe that 70% of the audience can still buy and accept these joke-style patchwork and repetitive jokes.
In general, the production quality of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is still there, and the intentions and sincerity are also there, but it is a little too hard, too hard.
The movie itself is like the relationship inside, the harder you chase it, the more unattainable it becomes, but when you catch it, you understand that it is not what you want.
Song Zheng is still very optimistic about Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng is a director with great potential, but he hopes that Xu Zheng will not become the most potential businessman.
In Song Zheng's view, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is a movie that is currying favor with the public to make money, and Xu Zheng just retains his little bit of creativity.
Song Zheng should be glad now that he can stop Xu Zheng before he excessively consumes his character, otherwise, the character that he has accumulated with great difficulty will be able to lose this "Hong Kong Embarrassment" all at once.
Xu Zheng was still chattering about the story about youth he was conceiving, and Xiao Taohong on the side also interjected two sentences from time to time, and it could be seen that this story was still the common feelings of the two.
As he spoke, Xu Zheng talked about the old man's journey to meet his first love after a lot of hardships, and what surprised Song Zheng the most was that Xiao Taohong listened to it very beautifully, and seemed to be very longing.
Hey, your husband is a precursor to cheating, okay!
"What's that, Lao Xu, let's stop first!" Song Zheng really couldn't listen anymore.
Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, looking at Song Zheng's expression, he didn't seem to be very interested in his story, and suddenly chuckled in his heart: "Zhengzi! Do you think this story is not good!?"
Song Zheng waved his hand and said: "That's not what it means, the story is no problem, but how to grasp this degree, if this thing is filmed well, it is called feelings, if it is not filmed, it is stinky and shameless!"
Little Peach listened to it, and laughed with a snort: "How can you say that!"
Xu Zheng didn't think it was a joke, his expression became serious, his brows were deep, and he said after a while: "Zhengzi! I understand what you mean." ”
When Song Zheng heard this, his heart suddenly became steady: "It's good if you can understand, it's still the same sentence, the story is fine, but it's just how to shoot!"
