This is my favorite Stephen Chow movie. This is also my favorite Wang Jing movie. During their teenage years, the duo's films were bombarded with pirated tapes in the school's video room, and the audience cheered whenever either of their names appeared in the title sequence. I must not be the one who cheered. At that time, the feeling was that the people on and off the screen were so vulgar, and the things that were obviously not high-profile were played hard by one group of people and the other group of people liked it hard. As I got older, I slowly realized that durian, stinky tofu, and snail powder are all stinky. I can't accept it. Maybe it's just because of the first meeting. Excluding those who don't want to get involved, some people will adapt quickly, some will adapt slowly, and some will not only adapt. , will be addicted to it, unable to stop. I don't want to stop, but I know that what I couldn't accept at the beginning tastes good now. The metaphor of saying that people smell bad is not very appropriate, there must be some people who think it smells good at first, I just want to express the smell I feel now. First of all, it is indecent, indecent is also vulgar, vulgar means low threshold, everyone can understand, Stephen Chow is synonymous with Hong Kong film comedy, Wang Jing's films are mostly comedies, their humorous way is not good at language , but pursues contrast with funny and exaggerated character and scene design, plus the actors' more exaggerated performances to add effect, these techniques and styles are destined to have nothing to do with subtle and deep humor, and have nothing to do with knowing smiles. The audience does not need much thinking and knowledge Reserve the humor you can get, these films are aimed at the grassroots, and mostly focus on the lives of little people. The characters are generally uncultured. That is to resonate with the majority who are also uncultured, so you can understand why there are so many in the film.” Shit and piss", why there are swear words and adult jokes, because these are the most familiar and acceptable things at the bottom of society. In this "Jiu Pin Sesame Official", swearing with swear words has even become a unique stunt for the character played by Stephen Chow to fight against the villain, while kung fu is the protagonist in such films in the past. The vulgar side is brought to an extreme. The second is roughness. Roughness is almost a collective feature of Hong Kong films at that time, but it is also a manifestation of the prosperity of the market. At that time, Hong Kong films were in short supply, and there were many films made in a few months. For the hungry audience, the attraction of fine food Compared with a large amount of fast food, it is often inferior. Stephen Chow and Wang Jing's nonsensical comedy is like a fast food that can fill the stomach. It can be quickly heated and served quickly, and quickly satisfy the hunger of the market. Although the processing process seems rough , but subtly coincides with the vulgar temperament and becomes a unique literary food , the audience never needs to spend their brains watching their movies, they just want to be happy and lively. The biggest advantage of roughness is obvious - reduced cost pressure, no need for quality awareness, and no need to nitpick on details, which may bring another advantage - liberates the creator's hands and feet, and does not care too much about pictures and visual effects. Next, focus on storytelling and put your main energy into the plot. "Nine Pins of Sesame Official" highlights Wang Jing's screenwriting ability. First of all, the theme he chose was sharp. Although it was suspected of catching the popularity of the Taiwanese TV series "Bao Qingtian" of the same period, this is a completely different work. In this land of China, the stories and topics of corrupt and honest officials It is always sought after by the common people. Corrupt officials bend the law, beat them into tricks, go to Beijing to file a lawsuit, clear officials to decide cases, and get grievances. Although they are all old stories and routines, there are very few literary and artistic works that can really be expressed in comedy, and it is even more so when they are expressed in complete works. I haven't seen it before. Wang Jing seems to have taken advantage of it. He wraps our most sensitive and fragile muscles with the skin of comedy, and resolves those old but sharp pains with inexpensive humor, making you laugh through tears. Secondly, he has created a complex but strong story structure, rough on the surface, extremely clear logic inside, clear cause and effect, linear narrative no different from any legendary story you heard as a child, so that you are attracted effortlessly , The rhythm of the story is also lively, the plot is progressive, just like flowing water. The simplification should be simplified, but the rich content is not ambiguous at all. The most exciting and popular climax must be the last three sessions. Trials, twists and turns , climax after another, let people never get tired of watching it, it is not only a popular excerpt, but also a big drama with explosive atmosphere. In this big play, the exquisite plot design is the bone, the rich character arrangement is the meat, and the lines and performances have become boiling blood, so the play is alive. All the characters in this scene are radiant and indispensable. Behind it is the profound accumulation and talent of the director. The overall effect of this scene greatly exceeds the parts. You must remember not only Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, but also the participation. All the faces in it, these faces put together, do something wonderful for us. In the end, you will find that strong dramatic conflict is the secret weapon of Wang Jing and Stephen Chow, and is the core of all other element services. Most of the time in the film is to reasonably create and strengthen dramatic conflicts. If you have seen Stephen Chow's film In "The King of Comedy", the drama "Thunderstorm" was mentioned more than once, which is a classic play known for dramatic conflicts; this film directly copied the paragraphs of "Dou E's Injustice"; the fate of the protagonist Bao Longxing has greatly changed. , from the brothel Guigong to the Eight Houses Patrol, the contrast is greater than yours imagine. Of course, you can also review their other films. It is not uncommon and tried and tested that almost all the protagonists are tortured and cornered before they can achieve reversal. The greater the gap in the fate of the characters, the more ups and downs the plot, and the stronger the audience's feelings, from great sadness to great joy, and finally rejoicing for the character's salted fish to turn over. Even the four words of salted fish turning over are all learned from their movies. The intense drama conflict will definitely bring us some thinking, but it is more of an emotional catharsis. A good movie can make you think, and a good movie can give you a catharsis. Of course, whether laughing or crying.
