Either "ten sides buried women" or "the city is full of golden milk".
You know what? In fact, Zhang Yimou is not like this now, and many people have forgotten that Zhang Yimou was originally famous for making films about local themes.
At that time, Zhang Yimou's department was excellent, only one new attempt at urban comedy was snubbed and the most underestimated - "There is something to say"
Zhao Xiaoshuai (Jiang Wen) is not stingy, has no culture, and does not know a few big characters, but has set up a book stall in the city.
He has recently fallen in love with the beautiful woman An Hong (Qu Ying), who has no culture and no ability, and is a good hand in stalking.
Ke An Hong is in love with the big boss Liu Delong (Liu Xinyi), liu Delong sees Zhao Xiaoshuai repeatedly harassing An Hong, so he lets people clean up Zhao Xiaoshuai.
Zhao Delong's thugs punched and kicked their heads and covered their faces, making Zhao Xiaoshuai lose face. Zhao Xiaoshuai snatched the handbag of passers-by Zhang Qiusheng (Li Baotian) and used it as a weapon to beat it, but smashed the valuable computer inside the bag.
In the end, Zhao Xiaoshuai was violently beaten on the street, and Zhao Xiaoshuai was not stingy, vowing to take revenge and stomp Liu Delong with one hand. And the passerby Zhang Qiusheng is also a senseless disaster, I passed by, the computer was smashed.
As an intellectual, Zhang Qiusheng looked at it as a rich and powerful man, a gangster. So I can only run at both ends hoping to lose my computer, and then everyone will calm down and do what to do.
But Zhao Xiaoshuai, who was very screwed, let Zhang Qiusheng say whatever he wanted, and he had to unload Liu Delong's hand. Zhang Qiusheng could only desperately stop it, seeing that Liu Delong was coming, Zhang Qiusheng was anxious that the three souls were out of the blue, and the six souls ascended to heaven.
But I didn't think about it, the following development surprised everyone...
This movie I have always considered to be the most underrated film in the country,
If nothing else, the cameos of Ge You, Zhao Benshan, Li Qi, and Zhang Yimou's own appearance in the film are surprising.
In particular, Ge You played the ideological education of the police in the labor reform film, Zhang Yimou played the tattered "An Hong, I miss you..." and then ran away with a bucket, and Zhao Benshan played the love poem of the migrant worker, which spoiled Zhao Xiaoshuai's good deeds, and laughed out loud every time he watched it. Now it is almost impossible to gather this lineup.
This black humor film with a slightly Wang Shuo-style joke and vernacular is the first time Zhang Yimou has tried to focus the lens on the contemporary city, truly and fully showing the atmosphere of Beijing's cityscape.
The strong contrast under the absurd plot in the movie makes people laugh, and Zhang Qiusheng bitterly persuades Xiao Zhao to take back the kitchen knife and give him a brick. "This (brick) is detained for 10 days, this (kitchen knife) is in prison for five years."
Zhao Xiaoshuai stuttered and said that first come to a brick, then a kitchen knife, double insurance, foolproof.
Of course, Zhang Qiusheng does not understand why Zhao Xiaoshuai is so shafty, so stubborn, so screwed, in fact, Zhao Xiaoshuai, played by Jiang Wen, just consciously fell into the face and must make up for it, and how else to say it is useless, so Jiang Wen can deliberately wrap a dumpling for a bottle of vinegar.
This is the climactic prelude to the story, and the subsequent plot is simply amazing.
Two levels are reversed and roles are reversed. Zhang Qiusheng, who felt humiliated, became a person like Zhao Xiaoshuai, stubborn, and screwed, holding a kitchen knife and looking around for revenge on the chef played by Li Qi. At this time, Zhao Xiaoshuai was dumbfounded, originally you were still trying to persuade me, now, good fellow, I still have to turn around and comfort you.
The exquisite ending of the movie is also thought-provoking, Liu Delong has been cleaned up, Zhao Xiaoshuai's face has been saved, and Zhang Qiusheng's computer has been new.
In fact, the whole thing in the movie is a very simple thing, but it reflects a seemingly simple, but in fact very complex problem.
Communication, how to communicate? Reasonable and well-founded communication like Zhang Qiusheng in the movie is ineffective communication. Due to the various differences of people, it is better to say that it is actually just an ideal state. As a complex and social communication activity, dialogue is not as simple as Zhang Qiusheng, a loyal intellectual, imagines, and problem solving is often not solved by dialogue alone.
unbelief? When it comes to the end of the day, what will happen to you is not certain. I just hope that everyone, what happens to you is not a big deal, there is something to say well.
