Find the spiritual corner of everyone in the movie
The Lunar Year of the Tiger is getting closer and closer to us!
XiaoWan's previously predicted 6 consecutive days of Spring Festival ticket delivery activities were also officially opened today.
Then the first issue of [2022 Spring Festival Movie Special] will be arranged for the lively comedy that best fits the atmosphere of the Spring Festival——
"This Killer Is Not Calm"
Don't be intimidated by this somewhat playful title, it is actually a happy twist comedy without compromise.
Although the name of the film is inevitably reminiscent of the famous French film "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", audiences familiar with the happy twist routine should know that playing with harmonics and name terriers is their usual style.
Whether it is the movie version of "Charlotte Troubles" or the drama work "Clown Amelie", Happy Twist likes to make "two creations" on the title of the movie.
But no matter how intimidating the title of the final work is, the final landing point will fall on the laughing audience.
And this time the movie "This Killer Is Not Calm" is no exception, the film through a fake drama real story, bringing the audience into a farce of ridicule.
In a small town in Xihong City, there is a mass actor named Wei Chenggong (Wei Xiang).
Just like his name, this person has been in the film for more than 20 years and is still "unsuccessful".
Not only does he look "bumpy", but his acting skills are not bad, and there is even a fatal problem: he loves to add drama too much.
In one scene, the other group performers heard the gunshots and fell to the ground, only our Wei Chenggong not only could not die, but also laughed in the sky.
The director asked him what he was doing, but his answer was: "I play a soldier with a cerebral thrombosis, and in an instant, I recovered..."

It is such an actor who does not look normal, but is favored by the former actress Milan (Ma Li).
It turned out that Milan's reason for finding him was also very simple, hoping that he could play a killer Carl who no one had ever seen, to participate in a real gangster dispute.
Wei Chenggong, who did not understand the truth, happily took over this "big drama" and fantasized about becoming famous with this killer.
But when the real gangsters appeared, Wei Chenggong gradually realized the mystery of this.
Just as he is turning the tide with his "superb" acting skills and amazing luck, the cruel truth is constantly approaching...
In terms of overall style, "This Killer Is Not Calm" is a bold attempt at Happy Twist Movie. Judging from the materials currently released, such a change is undoubtedly quite gratifying.
First of all, the elements of the film are quite rich. It not only integrates the adrenaline-pumping action elements such as crime and gunfights, but also injects the humor gene of Happy Twist.
When Wei Chenggong's fake killer Carl was shooting at the enemy, his companions trembled and showed a helpless expression on the side, which was really unbearable.
Secondly, the film itself also contains a large number of homage elements.
Whether it is Wei Xiang's image of Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" or the rich Italian style of the town, the audience can inadvertently feel the intention of the film.
At the same time, the film's tribute to classic movies such as "Song in the Rain", "Golden Three Darts", and "Sweet Life" are also countless, which can really make ordinary audiences happy and surprise old movie fans.
Finally, in addition to making the audience feel at ease in content, the film's main creative team can also be called the main force in the Happy Twist series of movies.
Newcomer director Xing Wenxiong served as the director and screenwriter of this film, and he had previously had a brilliant screenwriting performance in the "Divine Pen Ma Liang" unit of "My Hometown and Me";
Yan Fei and Peng Damo, directors of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", served as executive producers, trying to ensure the film's full of happy twist taste.
In terms of actors, the joining of comedians such as Huang Cailun, Allen, Ma Li, wei Xiang and so on undoubtedly makes the film's highlights go to a higher level.
Allen, Ma Li and others needless to say, have always been the most important shining point in happy twist movies, but the most eye-catching actor of this "This Killer Is Not Calm" must definitely belong to Wei Xiang.
From the insignificant little dragon set in the movie to the absolute male protagonist in the Spring Festival file today, the golden supporting actor Wei Xiang completed a gorgeous turn this time.
And Wei Chenggong in the movie and Wei Xiang in reality have also achieved a real sense of reflection to some extent.
In the film, Wei Chenggong is a "fool" who has no brain and is very naïve, but it is undeniable that he is also a down-to-earth professional actor who is willing to pay everything for filming.
He will speculate on the psychology of the characters, and write a character biography overnight in order to play a good killer, giving the role a different vitality;
For the standard pronunciation, he would get up three times in the middle of the night to practice tongue twisters;
In order to be able to understand the movie, he even taught himself Italian, talking and laughing with real Italians.....
In reality, Wei Xiang is not the same effort but unknown.
Wei Xiang was a retired armed police officer, and was later selected by Happy Twist to become a drama actor. In the most difficult period of happy twist, Wei Xiang successively starred in dramas such as "Want to Eat Twist Now Screw You" and "Unlucky Ah Xiang", but he was still tepid.
After switching to film and television actors, even in the popular "Hello, Li Huanying" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" have wonderful supporting role performances, but limited by the drama, he still cannot become the brightest star in the eyes of the audience.
"Three mouths and one pig" has achieved the famous scene of "The Richest Man in Xihong City"
But as Stephen Chow and Cecilia Cheung said in "The King of Comedy": "Look at the darkness in front of you, you can't see anything." "No, it will be beautiful after dawn."
After years of persistence, 42-year-old actor Wei Xiang finally ushered in the first big screen work as the male number one.
When the premiere of "This Killer Is Not Calm" ended, Wei Xiang blushed and said, "Thank you, let me fulfill my dream of starring." ”
Shen Teng, the big brother who was happy and twisted on the side, said heartily: When watching movies in the future, everyone will have to watch "xiang content".
This movie gives wei Xiang, a former golden supporting actor, more possibilities, and also brings the hope of laughter and tears to the audience.
Regardless of the final outcome, those years of hard work for dreams are precious enough.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, let us go to the cinema to feel the joy of when the dream shines into reality
