The movie "Thai Embarrassment" follows the character setting of the first "People are in Embarrassment". Wang Bao is always causing all kinds of troubles in Xu Lang's embarrassing journey. The two people have completely different life trajectories, but they become this An inseparable combination of "Thailand legends" during the journey. "Thailand Legend" and "The Hangover 2" have experienced the same experience in Thailand. This Southeast Asian country with strong folk customs is full of legends. Buddhist beliefs, Muay Thai, elephants, rain forests and the passionate Songkran Festival have extraordinary appeal. , the combination of these factors can add more legend to the film. There is also a lot of dark humor in the film, such as the taxi driver's ridicule about Beijing's congestion when Bangkok is stuck in traffic, the beauty in the elevator, and Wang Bao's signature action of scissors when taking pictures. Xu Zheng has integrated the characteristics of Chinese people into his films.
In 2013, the New Year's film of the New Year's film was brought forward because of "Thailand". Feng Xiaogang didn't plan to make a New Year's film. "Revisiting the Old 1942" was a bit heavy and profound when it was released at the end of the year. The New Year's King did not want to participate in this New Year's film competition. And Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast", Liu Weiqiang's "Blood Drops" and the new film "Great Shanghai" were not well-received. After "Thailand", Jackie Chan's new film "Zodiac" is a relatively successful follow-up. From this point of view, "Thai Embarrassment" can be regarded as the "time of the day".
Ang Lee's "Youth Pie", which was released before this, caused quite a stir. The gimmicks of 3D tigers and the beautiful pictures attracted enough attention, but after all, it tells the story of Indian teenagers. Many people didn't actually understand it, and even some pseudo-literary youths who didn't pretend to understand it did a dark and deliberate "dissection" of Ang Lee's films. I think whether Ang Lee is an artist or a poet, his works are as restrained and gentle as his character. If you have to dissect them to understand them, then the language of the film will not play its due role. I would choose not to like it. "Thai 囧" is about the dilemma of young people in Thailand. The purely funny tone is more suitable for the public's taste, and it is more down-to-earth in comparison. This can be regarded as the
last coincidence of "geographical advantage" and it should be "people and people". When we watch the heavy "Review of the Old One Ninety-Five" and the "heavy" "Youth Pie", and get reborn after the "end of the world", of course, we must choose a comedy with a good laugh. Life is already very heavy, and watching too many bloody "blockbusters" will make you lose your appetite. The ranking of "Thai Empress" happens to be stuck in a pile of heavy blockbusters. In addition, "Thai Embarrassment" has an extraordinary reputation soon after its release. Huang Bo , Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng, the three powerful comedy factors, have become a magic weapon to attract attention. Even the audience who didn't pay attention to "People are on the road" last year will follow the crowd to grab tickets. I want to say that the subtext is because there is really no Have to see. Of course, the credit of the marketing team is also indispensable. From the initial Xu Zheng Xiaosan's revelations to the media publicity that followed, this film with an investment of 30 million has exceeded 1 billion at the box office as of today. Stunned.
In a sense, I think the success of "Thailand" is largely due to luck. Back then, Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" was able to become famous in one fell swoop. Even though it borrowed the plot and narrative style of many foreign films, the story has many highlights, and the adaptation integrates the regional culture with Chinese characteristics. eyeball. "Thai 囧" is a little stiff in terms of narrative style. The laughs are basically concentrated on Wang Baoqiang. Wang Baoqiang has changed from a simple and honest child to a full-fledged comedian. He played very hard, and Xu Zheng really has to thank him. he. Because compared to the first film "Humans are on the Road", the first film they collaborated on, the laughs in "Thailand" are "made", and the former's laughs are more natural. This reminds me of Stephen Chow's movies. In the early days, it was based on personal charm, and in the later period, Xing Ye worked hard to make fun. But it's always good to be able to smile.
Even if it is a coincidence, the success of "Thailand" should be affirmed, because it is very difficult to make a comedy well. It must not only meet the tastes of various audiences, but also be able to convey valuable life meaning. "The persistence of the series is invaluable. After watching the movie, I feel relaxed. In this era, in life and work, we are not experiencing various embarrassing situations. On the road of living, we must learn to smile and cherish what we have.
