So this should be the last happy time of Laomouzi's film road. Tao Hong, Sun Honglei, Niu Ben, Fan Wei, Fu Biao, Li Xuejian and a group of powerful actors are still working hard as supporting roles. The set shooting can be so simple, no need In the end, you must be eye-catching with clever and prostitute skills, and you can still take pictures of the joys and sorrows of the people at the bottom of the social city in the era we live in. You don’t need to travel to ancient times to take pictures of the turbulent world and see the behind-the-scenes photos of the movie. , Laomouzi can wear the vest of the Olympic bid in the dilapidated factory building, smiling brightly in the face of the sun, without wearing a big padded jacket to travel to Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, and can't wait to go to the world to take pictures. All he wanted was to express the character's mood in the most appropriate way, and use the most appropriate angle to pry the softest things in his heart.
This is Zhao Benshan's happy time in the film industry. At that time, Zhao Benshan was still running for the coronation of the king of sketches. Although he emerged in the Spring Festival Gala and received praise for several consecutive years, that era was an era when a hundred schools of thought contended. He has become popular, not so popular yet, and he is still thinking about sketches. There is no trilogy yet, and the Spring Festival Gala has not yet arrived. Hundreds of millions of people are sitting in front of the TV waiting for him to appear. As for film and television, Zhao Benshan is still a newcomer, and he may be acting in the most sincere and stupid way in his serious performance. After this film, he quickly became a director, so he had Liu Laogen, and he had a rural love story that lasted ten seasons, so he had Benshan Media. The performance was just a matter of mood, and he showed his face occasionally. Occasionally play a leading role (fallen leaves return to the root) and almost picked the golden horse actor. In short, after this, this mountain is the lord of the empire, not the king but the emperor.
At that time, Uncle Benshan was really just an actor. His image and temperament combined with Rory's wordy lines. In his happy time, he played a retired worker with an optimistic personality, a poor but good heart. The halo of comedy he brought did not bring any change to the tragic nature of the film, but this unique temperament also gave the seemingly absurd plot a romantic core. Like the father in the movie "Big Fish", he used His innate optimism brought a legendary touch to a banal and painful reality. At that time, the performance of Uncle Benshan was forbearance and practicality. The most brilliant complaining after drinking was the rare outbreak of concentrated acting skills. He was lying on the back of the fast food restaurant writing a letter, and it was full of scenes.
This is the happy time of Dong Jie's film. At that time, she was so pure and moving. At that time, she was happy. In the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala, she was held by the idol Nicholas Tse of the tens of millions of girls at that time, and became his bride, which made others envious. She stood out in the selection of 50,000 heroines and became the heroine of the film. Simply the pinnacle of life. In the following ten years, although she also participated in movies one after another, she was neither popular nor purple. Instead, she went further and further in the TV series, not only won a good reputation, but also reached a real peak. After her postpartum comeback, it seems that she also started Focusing on TV dramas, the role has also changed from the innocent girl role that has been the same for more than ten years to a junior. Of course, the few that made headlines were because of an ugly guy, and that thin and beautiful girl didn't seem to be coming back.
The progress of the movie "Happy Time" is slow, and some of the plots of Fu Biao and Zhao Benshan at the beginning seem a little careless. Until Lao Zhao went to the fat woman's house as a guest, the little fat man kicked the door open, and Dong Jie was sitting on the bed wearing a vest of a size two bigger. When she walked out of the door, light hit her innocent face , I decided to finish the movie. At that time, Dong Jie, at the age of 20, performed the youthful and beautiful at the age of 15.
After that, Dong Jie wakes up wearing briefs and a camisole. I think Laomouzi prefers this kind of thin girl, such as Zhou Dongyu and Wei Minzhi in the back. How beautiful is this picture? I can't say it. But our intuitive feeling is that this girl is really thin, and what happened to her later may be more miserable than it looks. The title of Murder Girl is not a false one. Lao Mouchi is absolutely outstanding in picking heroines. The common feature of Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, and Zhou Dongyu is that they all look pure, but they have a stubborn taste. Maybe Dong Jie It is the least stubborn among them, so it is also the hardest to walk in the movie.
This is the real happy time of the three people in the movie world. In the movie theater photo, three people are in an abandoned factory, behind them are weeds and dilapidated factories. Under the sunshine, all three of them are smiling heartily. Dong Jie's youth, Laomouzi's ambition, and Benshan's kindness are so Natural harmony, this is their happy time.
Finally, let's talk about the two endings. It is said on the Internet that Laomouzi doesn't like the ending of the last car accident. Of course, the car accident scene was too dramatic and created a false climax, which made the plot of Fu Biao reading a letter to the tape recorder very abrupt. , Lao Zhao's life is dying, Dong Jie's life and death are uncertain, there is no hope, the car accident is not only abrupt but also does not help the main line, which is called a failure. The other ending is much more interesting. Lao Zhao and Xiao Wu are sitting in the factory building with only the frame left. Lao Zhao reads the letter he wrote to Dong Jie emotionally, warm and sentimental. There is vague hope, but after thinking about it, there is no hope.
Let me say a few more words about the plot. I watched the original Mr. Mo Yan's "Master is Getting Humorous". To be honest, this movie has no problem with character setting, and the script is almost meaningless. It is obvious that there is a gear shift in the middle. The Happy Time Cabin in front basically adopts the original novel, but the most dramatic conflict of Lao Zhao's layoff has been omitted. From the original novel, Lao Zhao was about to retire and was forced to be laid off, forced to make a living. The reason for such a heavy burden was to marry a daughter-in-law to save money, or to be with a fat woman, and the sense of the times was suddenly much weaker. After all, personal joys and sorrows are petty feelings and petty grudges, so the plot is too bloody and difficult to resonate. Of course, the ruthless satire of the original novel on the society at that time is destined to be impossible to copy on the screen.
