Lord Star, we really can't guess you

After watching the trailer, I honestly think it may not be Zhou's style. I watched the premiere of Zero Point with an uneasy mood. I felt that I was deceived by the trailer of The Mermaid. I can only say that the movie Mermaid is too Zhou’s comedy. I don’t know how others are doing. The audience was full of laughter one after another, from the beginning to the last 5 minutes. It can be said that there are too many scenes that make people cramp with laughter, such as: chicken, sea urchin, fan, assassination, exhibition hall, police station, etc., without spoilers, see for yourself.
The performances of Deng Chao and Xiaozhu made my eyes shine.
Let’s talk about Deng Chao first, there is absolutely no exaggerated and disgusting performance in the villain angel. I always think that Deng Chao is suitable for being an actor, but not suitable for being a director. Don’t scold me for Deng Chao fans. And comedic effects are all staged.
Xiaozhu Luo Zhixiang is very good this time, the serious male No. 2, the performance runs through the whole film, it can be seen that he has suffered a lot, but it is indeed a highlight, much stronger than that of the empty son.
Lin Yun is a bit funny but cute in it, but it complements Deng Chao's acting. It is worthy of being trained by Xing Ye. The only thing that makes me picky is that the voice is a little immature, but after all, he is a newcomer, and his performance is completely perfect. is beyond expectations.
Zhang Yuqi's body is really strong, and her aura is so strong that she blinded my eyes and mobilized my hormones.
I personally think that the film is 50% comedy + 30% love + 20% action. The theme is actually to protect the ecological environment throughout, but Xing Ye presents it in a comedy way, which is very meaningful.
If you have to be picky, I think the time is slightly shorter. After watching it in 93 minutes, to be honest, it is really unsatisfactory.
Xing Ye’s films should be watched coherently. For example, the section of the exhibition hall looks weird in the trailer, but when you watch the main film, you will find it very funny, and the scene where the curator appears at the end is also very funny. For some trolls and sunspots, to be honest, you don't think it's funny, either you laugh too much (basically, there is no movie that can make you laugh, the kind of facial paralysis), or you haven't seen it at all.
Taking Journey to the West as a reference, at least I think Journey to the West is a drama (good-looking but not funny), and the mermaid is a typical Zhou's comedy (dozens of laughter from the audience have already explained everything). From a personal point of view, this film is a typical Zhou's comedy. At the same time, it combines action + love + environmental protection. After laughing, it can also play a warning role. The ending will make people more moving, and the painting style is very beautiful. Such a rare masterpiece in China in recent years, I am a fan of passers-by, and it starts to be black when anyone sees it. I believe in justice in the heart. Hope the mermaid can be a big hit at the box office!
