I have seen your replies, and I will reply here. I am really sorry. This text is like a personal memorandum. I personally never encourage plagiarism, but resolutely resist it. I didn't consider too much when I wrote it, and discussed it purely from the perspective of perception and technology. I won’t delete or modify the end of the original text. Whether Xu Zheng admits it or not, he definitely misappropriated the overall framework of the movie. Even if he has done a good localization, if he hasn’t seen the movie, it’s definitely not. It is not possible to shoot "People on the Road". It is definitely harder to create a six-pointer than to change a six-pointer into a seven-pointer.

Compared with "Charlotte's Troubles", "People on the Journey" and "Road Away" are more similar. The main plot points of the main plot are relatively similar, but "People on the Journey" do a better job. The localized adaptation can be regarded as a better remake, and the adaptation in some places is better than the original film. First, from the perspective of characters. One of the two people in "Fantastic Trip" is for advertising and the other is for shower curtain hooking. Although advertising and marketing look higher than shower curtain-linked sales on the outside, the professional attributes of the two are actually similar, and the social status and class of the two are not very different. What distinguishes between the two is only the difference in their personalities. Neil loves children and his wife. He wants to go home and reunite with his wife and children. The audience agrees with this role. On the contrary, Gedell was not given any pleasing attributes in the movie, such as his chattering, his informality, chattering, driving in a reverse lane and causing the car to catch fire, using Neil’s credit card, etc., brought a lot to Neil. Trouble. The only positive image of this character is through Neil arguing with him and telling him that he hates him. Gedell said, my wife likes me very much. Later, it was learned that his wife had died eight years ago, which aroused the audience's sympathy for him. In addition, the film lacks a positive characterization that makes the audience like this character. The characterization in "People on the Journey" is much better than the original version. First of all, it created a class contrast between the two people. Xu Zheng played Li Chenggong as a proud boss, well-dressed, and arrogant to his subordinates. Niu Geng is a milkman, and set off to collect debts just because the boss owed her 20,000 yuan in wages. There is a clear difference in the class status of these two people. Secondly, it made a contrast between the two people's personalities. Although there are personality differences in "Road Away", in terms of the audience's likes and dislikes, the difference between the two people is not very big. But in "People on the Journey", the characterization gives the audience a clear emotional direction. Li Chenggong is a boss with a very bad attitude towards employees. He always fires employees, carries his wife behind his back and engages in extramarital affairs. He contemptuously wants to use money to solve problems after bumping into someone. Facing Zhang Xinyi’s asking for money, he lacks sympathy. This character From the very beginning, it was a selfish, arrogant and unpleasant negative image in the eyes of the audience. This glamorous and indifferent image is created to the extreme in the early stage, and then peeling off the hypocritical and exquisite shell will give the audience a stronger aesthetic experience. Niu Geng’s character image is also much more pleasing than the original three-dimensional character. He was owed wages. When he took the IOU, he was only willing to take 20,000 but refused to take 80,000. He thought it was "unkind" and saw the grandmother lying on the side of the road. Actively rescued and saved her life. When she met Zhang Xinyi asking for money, she moved compassionately and gave her all the money. These highlight his kindness, and he drank a big bucket of milk at the airport security check also showed this person's axis and persistent personality. The play also adds a crow's mouth attribute to him, which not only adds a sense of joy, but also does not detract from the character's pleasing image, which is more pleasing than the original film. Second, the big plots of the two films are basically similar from the perspective of the storyline, but the sequence is different. In "Fantastic Road Trip", Neil went to catch a plane, but was taken the lead by Gedell. The two met at the airport, the plane was delayed, and the two chatted in the waiting room. Neil wanted to take the first class but failed, so he was in economy class. Adjacent to Gedell. The plane was forced to land due to heavy snow, and the two stayed in a hotel. Neil’s wallet was stolen and he had to bump into the train to the train station. After the two got on the train, the train broke down halfway. Gedell suggested taking a bus home. Neil suggested that the two Act separately. Neil failed to rent a car and went wild, and almost hit the car that Gedell was driving. The two went on the road together again and almost had a car accident. The car was burnt down. Neil pledged his watch and the two stayed in the store again. The next day their vehicle was stopped by a police car and the scorched car was towed away. The two arrived in Chicago in a refrigerated truck. Neal invites Gedell to go home for Thanksgiving. "People are on a awkward journey", Li Chenggong went to the airport but failed to get first class. He was next to Niugeng in the economy class. The plane returned due to several heavy snowfalls. Li Chenggong got a train ticket, and when he got on the train, he and Niu Geng were in the same seat. The rails collapsed and everyone was forced to get off the train. Li Chenggong and Niu Geng got on a long-distance bus and nearly hit someone when they entered the village. Niu Geng rescued people and solved the crisis. The villagers used a tractor to send the two to Hankou. Niu Geng wanted to save the female beggar Li Chenggong and left by car. Because the bridge was broken, Li Chenggong returned again and lost his wallet in the car and learned that Niu Geng was cheated of money by the female beggar. The two lived in a cheap hotel. Li Chenggong's wallet was sent back. A female beggar was found on the ferry. He chased the female beggar to learn the truth and gave all the money to the female beggar. Using the remaining 4 yuan to buy a lottery ticket, I won the van and had a car accident halfway through. Burning a bonfire in the wild passed the New Year's Eve. The two returned to Changsha in the black-bone chicken car. The order of "Fantastic Trip" is taxi-plane-hotel-by truck-by train-bus-car rental-hotel-refrigerated truck The order of "People on Embarrassing Journey" is airplane-train-coach-tractor-coach-hotel-ferry-van-black chicken car. From the perspective of narrative function, the plane corresponds to the plane. Taking a train corresponds to taking a train, renting a car corresponds to driving a van, truck corresponds to a tractor, bus corresponds to a long-distance bus, and a refrigerated car corresponds to a black chicken car. There is no such thing, and in "People on the Journey", the second long-distance bus (Li Chenggong rides alone) and the ferry are also added. In the order, "People on the Journey" puts the truck (tractor) and The order of staying in the hotel is adjusted backwards, making the means of transportation appear more and more LOW. In the subsequent hotel plot, "People on the Road" expands the relatively simple plot of "A Good Trip" to the maximum, first After exaggerating Niugeng’s sleeping appearance, Li Chenggong was overwhelmed by the noisy next door and knocked on the door, only to find that the other party was a group of martial arts practitioners, and had no choice but to retreat. After returning, he found that he had gone to the wrong room, just in time for his husband to go to his wife’s hotel. Catching the rape, getting fattened by her husband, and unable to knock on the door when she went back, had to endure a night in a chair outside the door, which greatly enriched the plot of the original film, which can be said to be a small climax in the film. This adaptation is more commendable. Third, from the perspective of the richness of the film content Compared with "A Trip to the Madness", "Man on the Journey" is much richer and more grounded. "Man on the Journey" uses the process of the two protagonists to show off the different faces of sentient beings in urban and rural areas. Although the film is exaggerated, it truly shows the crowded scene of the train during the Spring Festival. Li Chenggong also bought a fake train ticket. He almost hit the old lady in the bypass village and was chased by a group of people holding hammers and hoes. The female liar begged, and she was touched after learning the truth... "People on the Road" touched the truth, goodness, beauty and falsehood of this society more deeply. Niu has worked so hard to finally get back the long arrears of wages. In Li Chenggong, he has seen the change from extramarital affairs to returning to the family. Although the image of the third party in the film is too idealistic, ask for it. The wages are also too easy, but it is a guide and manifestation of correct values ​​and a call and expectation for a better society. In contrast, "Road Trip Madness" is more of a rivalry between the two male protagonists. Even if they deal with airport staff, car rental company staff and others in the process, their conflicts are more on a personal level. Does not have more social significance. The themes of the whole movie are more concentrated in going home, longing for the warmth of home, which is simpler and more relaxed. It can also be seen that the social functions carried in Chinese and American films are different. The United States is more concerned with the pursuit of personal happiness, while Chinese film workers carry more social responsibility and call for truth, goodness and beauty. Compare the two films, regardless of whether they are used for reference or plagiarism. The localization of "People on the Journey" is done well. With the big structure unchanged, the sequence of the scenes is fine-tuned, and the characters are portrayed and the details are enriched without the big structure of the whole story. A good domestic road comedy.

  • Del: I've never seen a guy get picked up by his testicles before. Lucky for you that cop passed by when he did, or you'd be lifting your snutz to tie your shoes.

  • Del: [talking to Neal on the plane] I always order a special meal. On this airline, I go with the seafood salad. On American, I'll have their kosher plate: a little slice of salami, some roast beef, some turkey, dark rye bread, very nice. Now, if I'm flying United, I'll say I'm a youngster and they'll give me the kiddie plate. That's a hot dog, bag of potato chips, a gherkin, and a nice little bag of Oreo cookie, mmm!
