With the rapid development of various types of films in the world and the rapid rise of Chinese-language films, in addition to the fifth and sixth generation directors that we are very familiar with, another director that has to be mentioned is Feng Xiaogang, whose films are mainly comedy films for the New Year. Mainly, less deliberate use of brilliant colors, grand narrative scenes or interspersed with some obscure plots in the film, Feng's films are basically not known for the video style, and the reason why his films have a wide audience It has been talked about by people for a long time, mainly due to the use of language in Feng's films, which is humorous and laughable, but also hides the mystery. It is a more realistic language art rather than video art. Taking "A World Without Thieves" as an example, let's take a look at the unique language charm in Feng's films.
"A World Without Thieves" is similar to Feng Xiaogang's other Lunar New Year films. It upholds a consistent humorous style in language, and has played a great role in shaping the overall style of the film, and has always been praised by people. Among them, Uncle Li, played by Ge You, appeared frequently with golden sentences, "What is the most precious thing in the 21st century? Talents!" It's not easy to lead the team!" and so on. If we were not familiar with Uncle Li's identity at the beginning, we might think that Uncle Li was a decent person and would never associate him with a "thief" because his language was both official and neat. But when we gradually learned that Uncle Li said these words as the thief leader of the Gang of Four, these words also changed their taste, which brought a sense of dislocation to the audience, as if comparing thieves with extremely official terms Combined, it achieves the purpose of ridicule, forms a wonderful chemical reaction, and brings a sense of humorous irony to people, thus forming a strong comedy effect. In addition, the poor English of the rich businessman played by Fu Biao at the beginning of the film also earned enough laughs from the audience and set the tone for the film as a whole. Of course, there is also the scene where the robbers played by Fan Wei and Feng Yuanzheng robbed on the train. "IE, IQ, IP card, tell me all the passwords" is humorous and funny, and at the same time enhances the drama of the article. The tense atmosphere, the atmosphere is created just right, and the police will catch you by surprise afterward, which captures the audience's mind. .
There are many characters in "A World Without Thieves", but not all of them are fake characters. On the contrary, they all have their own distinct character characteristics. First of all, take Wang Bo and Wang Li as an example. Even if they are lovers, we can perceive their personality differences through their dialogue. Wang Li is sincere and pious, and she wants to use her own words and actions. To impress Wang Bo, but this is not what Wang Bo thought. The sharp words of the two people abound in the first half of the movie. The shaping of character is more intuitive and easy to understand. I have to mention Wang Bo's transformation here. Wang Bo is a typical round character in the movie. Taking Uncle Li's evaluation, he said, "It smells like a wolf, but it also has a human flavor." Uncle Li's description also shows the complexity of Wang Bo's characters, from stubbornness at first to firm persistence after repentance. In addition to the dialogue between the two, Feng's films are often also known for their good use of dialect. "A World Without Thieves" is no exception, especially when on the train, the dialects of different regions such as Shaanxi dialect, Northeast dialect and so on brought an auditory feast. It is a microcosm of a small society, and the use of dialects can highlight a character’s personality and social status to a certain extent, bringing a sense of intimacy and authenticity. The protagonist is the lead character of the film. It can be said that everything that happens in the film revolves around Sha Gen. Sha Gen speaks Shanbei dialect all the time, and it is not difficult to reflect his inner simplicity. Silly root is stupid, just like his name, but you will find more kindness and simplicity in him. He always likes to say, "Don't always think of people as bad." "Wolf won't hurt me, I don't believe in people. It can still hurt me." "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda"... These words may be extremely funny to us, but they also fully reflect the kind and honest characteristics of silly roots. Therefore, such success is inseparable from his words, and it can bring more intuitive feelings to the audience. Uncle Li, the thief leader mentioned earlier, is also very particular about his language in the film. In addition to creating an absurd dramatic effect, what he said is also a reflection of his character's character. Li Shu is good at using poetry. Expressing feelings, such as "I would have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch", "Those who know me worry about me, and those who don't know me, what do they ask for me" and the couplets that later spread throughout the streets and are still used today. The sentence pattern "Uncle Li is very angry, the consequences are very serious", when facing the robbers on the train, Uncle Li blurted out: "I hate these thieves the most. It's a robbery, and it has no technical content at all. "It is not difficult to see Uncle Li's lofty and arrogant pride, and at the same time, it gives people a feeling of "thief is also righteous", which makes Uncle Li's image more full and three-dimensional, making him the biggest laughing point of the film.
In "A World Without Thieves", in addition to making good use of humorous lines to create comedy effects and using dialects to show character characteristics, some words also play a crucial role in complementing the plot and developing the story. A hint to the audience. The most prominent thing is what Wang Bo said to Wang Li. Wang Bo said: "You think that a good person is so easy to betray. Sometimes it's light to peel you off." Facts have proved that Wang Bo said this sentence The words were verified by himself. In the end, in order to save the fool, Wang Bo became a good person, but he also took his own life. Therefore, we said that some words are not enough to say or not to say. Wang Bo’s This sentence may be that he is hinting at his ending. When the film is over, if you revisit it, it will give you a spiritual shock. In addition, at the end of the film, Uncle Li said to Xiaoye: "If you don't do it for yourself, the world will be destroyed." It's ridiculous and sad to let Uncle Li lift a stone and hit him in the foot.
There is no narration in this film, but I think "mobile phone text messages" also have a unique role in the film. When they were on the train, Wang Bo and Wang Li used mobile phone text messages to communicate for a while. The quarrel is silly. On the other hand, I think the content of the mobile phone text messages is sometimes closer to the more real thoughts of the two people. In the face-to-face dialogue between the two, the quarrel scene occupies a lot, but the text message exchange is also full of In order to care and love each other, perhaps the text message reflects the more private feelings in the hearts of the two. The director chose to express it in the form of text messages, which is especially subtle and worth thinking about. When Wang Bo died , there is still a text message that was not sent to Wang Li on the phone: "Silly root's matter has been resolved, wait for me." This undoubtedly made the audience watching the tears rush out, and some words can also arouse people's hearts without saying them. The resonance of text messages is the most important carrier, and it is also a good way to express emotions.
Feng Xiaogang once said: "Chinese New Year films should have a certain social value while being entertaining. In addition to making you feel funny, they can also leave something worth thinking about." The same is true for "A World Without Thieves" , Feng Xiaogang uses his humorous but intriguing language art to imitate ordinary real life for us, which better meets the needs of the modern and contemporary public, and also makes Feng's films a place in the Chinese film industry.
