Chapter 490: Controversy in Laughter [Second Update]
Huang Qiusen and Wu Zhenyu missed the beginning of the movie, and when the two came in, the film had already been shown in Lin Youlun, Huang Zhan, and Cai Yan who woke up drunk and found that their friend, the groom, was missing, and at this time, he had less than 48 hours to hold his wedding in Hong Kong, and they had to find their friend back during this time.
I don't know where to get the baby on the sofa, and the tiger in the bathroom...... It all shows that they had a very crazy night last night after getting drunk.
And the audience's laughter this time was that Huang Zhan found the tiger in the bathroom, and then ran out in fright, and told Lin Youlun and Cai Yan about his unexpected discovery in a panic.
Wu Zhenyu and Huang Qiusen cheekily learned about the previous plot from the audience sitting next to them, and soon followed the plot, and then watched it with relish.
For a comedy movie filmed in Macau, in fact, many viewers thought that this movie had something to do with the casino at first, but as the plot developed, everyone slowly discovered that this story actually had nothing to do with the casino.
This movie is actually about the two worlds of drunkenness and soberness, just like in Macau and Hong Kong, there are two different worlds, one side is serious and regular, and the other side is crazy and unscrupulous.
The bachelorette party described in the film is actually more popular in the United States, but many young people in Hong Kong also have the habit of holding a bachelorette party before marriage.
"The Hangover" amplifies this cathartic emotion, allowing everyone to see what the consequences of a bachelorette party can be if it goes crazy all night. The film sets up such a suspense at the beginning. And then the audience is guessing. How many ridiculous things will the three protagonists do in this night.
The film's idea of using this excessive exaggeration to create a joke was clearly successful, as evidenced by the incessant laughter in the screening room.
Ni Yu also secretly bought a ticket to watch this movie on the day of the premiere, in order to avoid the reporter finding out, he deliberately disguised himself before going out, but unfortunately, when he came out of the movie theater, he was still photographed by a sharp-eyed reporter.
The next day, Ni Yu went out early in the morning, and was surrounded by reporters as soon as he arrived downstairs.
"Mr. Ni. Did you go to see the movie "The Hangover" yesterday? β
"Mr. Ni, what do you think of Lin Youlun's new film?"
"Mr. Ni, do you think 'The Hangover' is a qualified comedy?"
β¦β¦
All the reporters rushed to ask questions, and there were so many questions that Ni Yu couldn't even hear them in his ears.
"Okay, I did go to see this movie yesterday......"
As soon as Ni Yu admitted this, the eyes of the reporters immediately lit up, and more questions were smashed at Ni Yu.
"Why am I going to see this movie? It's definitely not because of Lin Youlun, I went to watch it for the sake of Huang Zhan and Cai Yan's face, we have been good friends for many years, and then hosted the show together. Ni Yu refused to admit it. But in fact, he went to watch this movie because of Lin Youlun.
Ni Yu was also helpless to do this, because he knew that after the release of the film "The Hangover". Whether he wants it or not, the media will come over to ask him for his opinion, if he doesn't answer, others will think that he is afraid of Lin Youlun, and to answer, you must have an understanding of this movie, so that what you say is not convincing, at least it will not be a joke.
"Cai Yan and Huang Zhan, the two of them have great performances in this play, you say Lin Youlun? I'm sorry, I don't judge everything related to this person, but in the case of this movie, I think it's just funny for the sake of being funny. I don't know if you have noticed that the plot of this movie really can't stand scrutiny, in real life, only a few people will do such crazy things when they are drunk, and more people just want to lie in bed and sleep after drinking too much, so I admire the three protagonists in the story, after drinking too much, they can actually do so many unbelievable things. β
"I think the biggest significance of this film is to help advertise nightclubs and casinos in Macau, and it tries to tell everyone that if you are usually a sensible subordinate, a gentle husband, a serious teacher or a pretentious literati, then give yourself a long vacation to Macau, where you will find yourself drunk and you will become so different...... Doesn't it sound funny, but that's all I've seen from this movie, so I'd advise viewers who are about to see this movie to just go in and have fun, and really don't need to take the plot too seriously. β
Huang Zhan's remarks soon appeared in the newspaper, and the media then set off a wave of discussion about the movie "The Hangover".
"The reality is that 'The Hangover' is a very difficult story to justify because there are so many impossibilities, but since it's just a funny movie, why not go into a complete madness. Self-convincing obsessed. Committing drugs, joking with underground black boxers, kidnapping tigers, marrying strippers, and gambling with their own teeth...... They don't appear in your life, but they certainly appear in your mind countless times, and it's another world, so don't use worldly standards to judge its authenticity. β
"Wouldn't such a happy ending be clichΓ©? Haven't we saved the day in our dreams countless times and come to a happy ending? It can only be said that everyone likes such an ending, Hong Kong produces more than 100 movies every year, how many can really be unconventional? β
Ni Yu's evaluation of "The Hangover" was quickly refuted by others, and a famous film critic supported the movie "The Hangover" in his column, he believed that Lin Youlun's original purpose in making this movie was to entertain the public, if you must delve into the rationality of the plot, more than 90% of the plots of Hong Kong movies are not reasonable at all, but it does not prevent the audience from going into the cinema to watch these movies.
Ni Yu was very disdainful when he saw such a refutation, and when he responded this time, he finally pointed the finger at Lin Youlun.
"I don't know if the critics have a stake in someone or if they're directly instructed by someone to make such a statement, I'm just saying what I think about the film. Originally, because of Cai Yan and Huang Zhan's participation, I actually had great expectations for this movie, I don't know if the box office of this movie can satisfy that person, don't the media often praise his ability to make movies unique in the sky and on earth? I feel that if the Hong Kong box office of this movie is less than 40 million, it may be a little embarrassing for someone to say that this movie was made by him, right? β
As if to help her brother, Yishu also joined the debate, but she criticized the film from a feminist perspective.
"For most women, marriage is considered to be the starting point for a happy life for princesses, but for men, marriage means losing their free single status and taking on the responsibility of providing for their families, which is simply the beginning of suffering. From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why the three male protagonists in the movie will behave so crazy. The film provides a good reason for men's indulgence before marriage, and I don't think a man who can't manage himself before marriage shouldn't expect much restraint from him after marriage. β
"Fine. Flood of seeds and eggs. The scarcity of children determines that women are more loyal and loyal to their families than men! Women sacrifice their careers and dedication to their families, but it is thankless to get fists and sticks, and then they have to face the betrayal of men at any time, so it is not men, but women, before getting married, they should come to a bachelor party to indulge in a lot of indulgence, so as to prepare for the miserable life after marriage! β
Lin Youlun was not prepared to respond to this matter, but in the past few days, the phone calls requesting an interview with Lin Youlun have been called one after another to Lin Youlun's assistant Ajie, and a large number of letters and faxes have been received like snowflakes, but the media's enthusiasm for this matter has greatly exceeded Lin Youlun's expectations, so he accepted an interview with a reporter for the first time.
"This time, I will never be able to assure you that Mr. Ni Yu is not a specially hired trustee for me, and his statements in the newspaper are definitely not said to match the hype of this movie, this time, I believe that he did watch this movie seriously."
Lin Youlun's words at the beginning of the interview amused the reporters in the audience, and when he saw that all the reporters in the audience raised their hands high, he then said.
"Let's put our hands down, you don't need to ask questions today, I will naturally say what I want to say, and if I don't want to say it, I won't say it if you ask, I know that everyone is very busy, and I am also very busy, so don't waste each other's time."
The smile on the faces of the reporters in the audience then turned into helplessness, but they all put their hands down.
Lin Youlun was very satisfied with this effect, and continued: "I believe that "The Hangover" is a film that can trigger countless memories of men and can cause infinite contempt for women. Because most men have drunk gaffes at times, and then most women have the experience of serving unconscious and drunk men. "The Hangover" itself is just an absurd comedy, just like the self-deprecation of many men recalling various things after their hangover, when a person suddenly finds that he has relied on his subconscious self for a period of time, he will indeed be surprised, and of course he needs some introspection and reflection...... As for the box office of this movie, I am very grateful to Mr. Ni Yu for his concern, and when the Hong Kong box office exceeds 40 million, I will definitely notify him in time and share the good news with him.
