Multi-line narrative, network structure, although it is an imitation, it has played a different new trick. In addition to borrowing properly and skillfully, the director also made another effort.
1. Use proper reference and pay attention to details
The first eight minutes are simply a textbook-level template for multi-line narrative, and in a short time, all the characters and their personalities that appear in the story are presented to the audience in a short period of time. Baotou's hidden illness sets the tone of anxiety and absurdity for the story. Sanbao is all about making a fortune, Xiaomeng is lustful and fake, the factory manager is facing economic difficulties, Huang Bo is typically impulsive and has no brains, and Xu Zheng's secretary is a villain. . The characters have their own characteristics, and their characters are portrayed with great care. At the same time when "Don't Touch Me" was hit, the director brought the main characters into a single point in time, and multiple lines began to cross in parallel, and the dramatic conflict began to advance. On one side is Xie Xiaomeng, who is thinking of ways to defraud Lao Tzu of money, on the other side is the international thief Mike, on the other side is the trio of stupid thieves, and Baotou who always want to defend the jadeite. , unconsciously affects the development of the plot. What's interesting is that, in addition to the transparent jade, there are cans of Coke and Andy Lau's cup of forgetful water that always runs through the whole film like a wave.
In addition, several clues intersected not only in time, but also in space. For example, when Baotou was hanging up the map of Luohan Temple for defense, the three thieves were using stick figures in the next room to study how to steal jade. The audience from God's perspective knows that this absurdity is happening, but the characters in the play don't know it at all. The director succeeded in creating tension while adding comedy.
Another scene is when Mike the thief descended from the sky along the sling and was about to stretch out his hand to steal the "real" gem, but found that he couldn't reach the gem anyway, so he finally hooked it out, but was taken away by the little thieves. This seems illogical, but in fact the director has already hidden foreshadowing. The first time the big thief and the little thief met, Huang Bo used "Guess who I am" to deceive him into the crime business. He had no choice but to go to a profiteer to buy equipment. The wireless camera and clothes were all good, but the rope was cut short. a paragraph. This series of stories just led to the thief miss. The dramatic conflict in the development of the plot is extended into the conflict in the details of the story, which seem to be independent of each other, but actually intersect and interlock. An accident triggers a series of chain reactions, absurd and reasonable at the same time.
2. Localization
The story takes place in the mountain city of Chongqing. Baotou speaks the local Chongqing dialect, "Paoge people will never be sloppy." Daoge speaks in Hebei dialect, "What quality?" The outsider field”, Heipi is Qingdao dialect, Mike is Hong Kong Pu, and Xu Zheng is Shanghai dialect. A stone brings people from all over the world together, but in the end, it is a bamboo basket to draw water. The localized characters make the audience feel very close, full of slang, and full of wit, all kinds of living beings, and the market is full of different attitudes. This is absolutely impossible to copy. 's taste.
The director used a good method to tell a good story, inside and outside the play, it was a joy. In the end, I'm going to push your lungs~
