Since the release of the Spring Festival file, the performance of "Miracle Stupid Child" can only be said to be tepid, the praise is not so trendy, and the bad reviews are not so bad. As director Wen Muye's new work after "I Am Not a Medicine God", "Miracle Stupid Child" has less criticism of reality and more warmth between people.
It is rumored that the script polishing time of "Miracle" is only one-tenth of that of "Medicine God", which is more like a Wen Muye's new spring final homework, presented solidly and grounded, surprising many people and making many people feel bad.
Bottom group portrait
Warm tears
Jing Hao is a guy who repairs mobile phones, his father ran away from home, his mother died of illness, leaving him and his sister to rely on each other. His sister suffered from congenital heart disease, and Jing Hao had to drop out of school to work and fill in the bottomless pit of medical expenses. But no matter how many odd jobs he does, it will be difficult to scrape together the sky-high cost of surgery. Under the wrong circumstances, he had an opportunity to set up a factory and start a business. After experiencing various difficulties, Jing Hao finally succeeded.
Wen Muye said in an interview: "This movie is the story of a pair of orphans who find a home. "Like "Medicine God", the low-level small character group portrait drama in "Miracle" is also a highlight. Jing Hao set up a factory and recruited a group of "old, weak, sick and disabled". These people's lives were as miserable as Jing Hao's.
Wang Chunmei, played by Qi Xi, is a single mother who met the black-hearted boss before, suffered from hearing impairment, and has been fighting lawsuits. When she was found by the little, the other party slapped her, and she rounded her arm and fanned it back. She is a little inferior, very brave, and lives a tasteful life.
Liang Yongcheng, played by Tian Yu, works as a nurse in a nursing home. He originally did not want Jing Hao to start a business, thinking that this was too risky, but when Jing Hao decided to do it, he would run before and after him and became the workshop director of this small factory.
Two "Internet addicted middle-aged" are the funny responsibilities in the film - Liu Hengzhi, played by Wang Ning, decided not to clubbing after marriage, "the prodigal son turned back", and worked carefully; Zhang Chao, played by Xu Juncong, dozed off at work, and always remembered to take the guild to play a copy. Two veteran comedians who contributed a lot of laughs to the film.
These characters are very ordinary, and their happiness and bitterness are all kind to people. As for Jing Hao, he has always been particularly calm, and if there is trouble, he will solve it, the only time he collapsed was after being blown out by the landlord, he held his sister on the street late at night, remembering a brother who owed money and did not pay it back, for a moment he blamed all the tragic things on his head, and went to his split head and threw a tantrum.
This is the anger of people who are really desperate. Every step of Jing Hao's efforts are solid - from catching up with the big boss and investing in the factory, to encountering bottlenecks and working hard to hand over the work, the plot is pushed forward step by step, the sensational is not annoying, the funny place has the high-energy performance of the comedian, and the whole film has indeed done laughter and tears.
Self-consistent though
But it is indeed a cool fairy tale
There are miracles in the movie, but Hua Qiangbei does not. In two months, turning a migrant worker into a capitalist is purely the number of ways to start Shuangwen. Wen Muye is just too good at shooting, taking "bottom warmth" as the main line of the movie, a sentence of "everyone is not easy", which has overcome all the difficulties of Jing Hao.
Jing Hao came to start a business in desperation - he was pit by unreliable friends, and he accumulated a batch of goods in his hands, if he did not gamble, he could only lose all his family funds. Entrepreneurship was a must for him. Therefore, the audience is particularly tolerant of him, and there will be no "Jing Hao does not suffer a little and is not normal" mentality. The hardships that those entrepreneurs should suffer have become extra extra in him, prompting people to cry.
However, entrepreneurship is entrepreneurship, society does not care what the reason for your entrepreneurship, what purpose, those directors did not shoot the industry insider, is the biggest source of pressure for entrepreneurs.
Jing Hao's success depends on the help of the people around him. His low-level colleagues did not leave him when the factory could not be managed. In reality, they will not deal with problems so dreamily. There is a classic line in "I Am Not a Medicine God": "There is only one disease in the world - the disease of poverty." "Poverty will obliterate people's goodness." Days have no head, so goodwill is limited.
Those who are old and young, and who can't even afford to eat, no matter how sad and unwilling, will not pour their future into a 20-year-old young man.
In a fairy tale, the movie is filled with a lot of real details, Jing Hao eats steamed buns, does odd jobs, and lives on the street... The more tragic drama accumulates, the more reasonable the final success will be - he is really not easy, such a bitter and tired person, the ending must be better to be justified!
But in fact, watching "Miracle Stupid Kid" is equivalent to watching "Snow White". You don't think it's unrealistic for the prince and princess to live happily together, because from the moment the queen asks the mirror a question, it doesn't have much to do with reality. Only Snow White will meet the seven dwarfs, and the real Jinghao will only have the share of the roll cover.
Family movies
Spring Festival stalls come standard
Jing Hao's story involves various groups and all classes. The Spring Festival file should have such a movie, so that families can have something to talk about when they go out of the movie theater.
Jing Hao's entrepreneurial opportunity, a big boss from a communications company in Shenzhen. The boss's assistant Li Ping looks down on Jing Hao very much, in his eyes, a 20-year-old spiritual boy wants to eat a big order, isn't it greedy?
The role of Li Ping reflects a lot of the problems that everyone usually thinks about. He came to Shenzhen at the age of 25 and is now working as an assistant to a big boss. On the academic qualifications and qualifications, he is certainly excellent in the industry, but on the ability, from his chat with the boss, we can see that he is very mediocre, in front of the boss will only say clichés, can not do the actual plan.
After the boss met Jing Hao, he once beat Li Ping with words: "When I came to Shenzhen, I was about the same age as this person, how old are you?" He was willing to give Jing Hao a chance, not because of kindness, but because he felt that he might really bring benefits.
The older generation has become the boss by hard work, while people like Li Ping, relying on the resources brought by the original family, are firmly rooted in the elite class, and they also scornful of capable young people like Jing Hao. Li Ping never knew what the real idea was, and there was no possibility of starting a business to become a boss, so he could only count the days and wait for the midlife crisis to come.
So, did elite education teach a bunch of stylized, uncreative screws?
There are many similar extended topics - Shenzhen entrepreneurship in 2022, is there still room for development like in the movie? In reality, what kind of story will there be after a person like Jing Hao becomes famous? Will those who have followed him have a conflict of interest with him?
"Miracle Stupid Child" is the most suitable movie to watch with the family in this Spring Festival file. The above topics can be talked about all the way from the movie theater to home, and there is no worry about the cold scene. If you can talk about the experience of relatives and friends from Jing Hao's entrepreneurship, and then talk about poetry and songs, life philosophy, it is also a way to enhance feelings with your family.
Overall, "Miracle Stupid Child" is a bowl of chicken soup with just the right seasoning, which is only the standard answer sheet that Wen Muye handed over to the Spring Festival file - eighty points, not a single point can be more. If you want to adjust your mood, feel the warmth of the world, and walk into the cinema with the mentality of drinking chicken soup, you can still get back the ticket price.
