In 2009, Zhou Shen, a student in the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama, told a story: a school in a water-scarce place raised a donkey to carry water, but everyone was unwilling to pay for the donkey, so the principal made himself clever and gave the donkey a name, called "Lu Deshui", who was a teacher, and took his salary to support himself, until one day, the leader came to inspect, in order to cover up the lies, everyone began to make up all kinds of lies.
In 13 years, after the drama "Donkey Got Water" exploded, Zhou Shen began to prepare a film version. At a friend's wedding, they met the boss of happy twist, and the two began to cooperate.
The film version of "Donkey Got Water" with zero bad reviews was released in October 2016. This movie has to say that the thought of it touches my tears. This film is the touchpoint of high-level comedy, a living character tragedy. The plot is absurd and the characters are distinct.
The so-called morality, the so-called justice, everyone lives under layers of lies.
During the Republic of China period, there were four teachers, namely Pei Kuishan, Zhou Tienan, Zhang Yiman, and Sun Henghai (principal), who were determined to change the "poor, stupid, weak, and selfish" of the Chinese peasants, so they came together to the Sanmin Primary School in the ravine where water and money were lacking as volunteer teachers, and of course, the treatment was also very bleak. How much water is scarce here? If you want to drink water, you have to run to a mountain village more than 20 kilometers away.
Four people summed up the meeting at the beginning of the semester. Pei Kuishan suggested visiting the homes of children who were of school age, and the principal said that he would give scholarships to students who took the initiative to attend classes. Don't look at them now talking about teaching in a serious way, after a while, it will be noisy, Zhang Yiman is the only female teacher among the four, she and Zhou Tienan laughed at the bottom of Pei Kui Mountain, just when several people were making trouble, the donkey shed was on fire.
Zhou Tienan took a broom to fight the fire, Zhang Yiman just wanted to take down the hay on the donkey shed, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, only Pei Kuishan took a shovel to dig the earth to fight the fire, and the principal next to him took a quilt and shouted: "Listen to my command." "Then the fire got bigger.
Because there was no water, the four of them planned to give up, because the principal's daughter Jiajia led the donkey out to fetch water, and only the donkey shed burned, at this time, Jiajia returned with the donkey and water. Jiajia wants to put out the fire with water, but the principal stops it, saying that it is just a donkey, don't really treat him as a person. It turned out that this donkey was "Teacher Lu Deshui", and he could receive a salary of 300 yuan per month.
Complete one's misery. That night, everyone found that the Ministry of Education came to a telegram, it turned out that the commissioner would come to the school next month to investigate, just when everyone wondered what to investigate during the holiday, Zhou Tienan found that this telegram was actually last month, and the commissioner would arrive tomorrow. Wouldn't the "Donkey Got Water Teacher" be recognized? The first priority is to find someone to impersonate Donkey Water Teacher.
When everyone was frowning, the coppersmith who had rushed to repair the bell was pulled over, and at first the coppersmith was not happy, he was sloppy, and his heart was very simple. But Zhang Yiman took him into the house in the name of cutting his hair, so an indescribable thing happened between the two of them. Zhang Yiman found that the coppersmith was very good.
The next day, the commissioner and his party came to Sanmin Primary School. Because of altitude sickness, the commissioner slept in bed like pigs. The principal split the entourage and peeked at the purpose of the commissioner, which turned out to be to investigate the donkey teacher.
The commissioner, under the banner of returning from studying abroad, was actually illiterate. After waking up, they pretended to investigate the school, and several teachers were afraid of the coppersmith's dew filling, so they said that the donkey water teacher had been too hard lately, and his voice was dumb. Zhang Yiman and Pei Kuishan did not want to accompany the commissioner to go shopping, so they excused themselves from cooking and withdrew.
Pei Kuishan looked at Zhang Yiman's attractive figure, he confessed to her and proposed marriage, did not expect Zhang Yiman to think about it and refused, they had a relationship before, which is why Zhang Yiman laughed at Pei Kuishan before.
The commissioner still insisted on listening to the lesson of the donkey water teacher, Zhang Yiman accidentally found that the commissioner knew English at all, so he decided to ask the coppersmith to recite ten in Mongolian, and then her own award certificate cooperated with the translation, and actually fooled the commissioner over, and the commissioner praised "Teacher Lu Deshui read as well as Shakespeare." This fragment was directly sealed, and the commissioner was still tricked.
In the evening, the coppersmith accepted the principal's money and wanted to go home, but the commissioner said that he would take pictures with The Donkey Deshui teacher for six years tomorrow, and the coppersmith was ignorant and feudal, saying that the photo would be dead and refused to take pictures. Zhang Yiman said, I came to sleep with him, and then I took them to the room to start the textbook indescribable. Pei Kuishan watched from outside the room, resentment taking root from his heart.
The Commissioner completed his task and left. The coppersmith should also leave, and before leaving, he still gave up on Zhang Yiman, who cut a handful of hair to commemorate the coppersmith.
Two months have passed. The prize money for the donkey water teacher came down, and the crowd cheered. Not long after the happiness, I found a telegram from last month, and the commissioner arrived this afternoon, this time with a philanthropist from the United States, or to inspect the donkey water teacher.
At this time, the coppersmith's wife found out that the coppersmith had cheated, and dragged the coppersmith to the Sanmin Primary School. It turned out that when the coppersmith's wife discovered the intercourse, the coppersmith not only learned a lot of tricks, but also bit his ears. For the sake of the next thing, several teachers asked Zhang Yiman to admit that he had exercised with the coppersmith, and Zhang Yiman was dead hearted for the coppersmith, saying: "You are the cattle." This sentence was like a thorn in the heart of the coppersmith, and he threw down a handful of hair sent by Zhang Yiman, and his head did not go back.
The Commissioner came. When he asked everyone about Donkey Deshui's situation, the coppersmith suddenly rushed in and said that as long as Zhang Yiman was fired, he would continue to impersonate Donkey Deshui. The commissioner learned of the reason and followed the crowd to condemn and insult Zhang Yiman. Pei Kuishan also wanted to vent his hatred, the most ugly scolding was him, Zhang Yiman slapped himself several times, but the coppersmith was still not satisfied, asked Zhang Yiman to cut his own hair, Zhang Yiman naturally did not agree, he was held down, and was forcibly cut by several teachers.
Zhang Yiman looked at her hairstyle in the mirror like she had been chewed by a dog, completely collapsed, and she hid under the table and shivered. Zhou Tienan really couldn't bear it, and told the truth, saying that there was no donkey at all, it was just a donkey, but the commissioner didn't care whether this person was real or not, as long as he could get the philanthropist's money. The coppersmith listened to Zhou Tienan's words and planned to kill the donkey, Zhou Tienan stopped the coppersmith, the two wrestled together, at this time the commissioner fired a shot, just now zhou Tienan, who was still an iron bone, immediately knelt down, touched the commissioner's shoes like a dog and begged for forgiveness.
After a while, Zhang Yiman's madness was still not good, she wore a headscarf, sang songs, and ran around. The guards accompanying the commissioner tried to force Zhang Yiman and were bumped into by Zhou Tienan, but he did not stop him. Fortunately, the commissioner's secretary appeared in time, and Zhang Yiman escaped the disaster.
In order to successfully defraud the philanthropist of money, the commissioner and the teachers lied that The Donkey Water Teacher accidentally fell to his death on the way to the road, and the Charity saw the body of the coppersmith and expressed deep remorse, saying that he would give ten thousand US dollars as a pension to the family of the Donkey DeShui Teacher. But at that time, in order to hide the sky and cross the sea, everyone wrote that the donkey water teacher was both dead and had no wife and no children. So how should this money be taken? At this time, the principal thought of his daughter, Jiajia.
Jiajia saw her father kneeling and begging herself to pretend to be the fiancée of the dead coppersmith, and she swallowed everything when she was going to tell the truth. The philanthropist was touched, saying that jiajia could go abroad for further study, and the coppersmith listened to it and instantly "resurrected", which turned out to be a fake death to hide the sky and cross the sea. The people persuaded the philanthropists that there was a reasonable scientific basis for the resurrection, and the philanthropists actually believed it, and indeed they were philanthropists.
The Commissioner tied up the Headmaster and forced Jiajia and the coppersmith to have a wedding. Just as the wedding ceremony was about to be completed, the coppersmith's wife once again rushed in, snatched the commissioner's gun, and hunted the moment.
Everyone was in a mess, Pei Kuishan first picked up the gift money and ran, followed by the principal and Zhou Tienan. Zhang Yiman came back with the newly picked flowers, the flowers in her hand accidentally fell to the ground, she watched the newly picked flowers being ruthlessly trampled, perhaps thinking of herself. Zhang Yiman picked up the gun in the corner in a daze, Jiajia calmly walked out, quickly packed her bags and prepared to go to Yan'an; the philanthropist sighed: "Incredible! ”
Soon it's time for school to start again. The principal continues to pursue the dream of changing Chinese farmers with Pei Kuishan and Zhou Tienan, at which point the camera turns to the flowers-filled mountains and a gunshot is heard from the Sanmin School, ending the film.
Zhang Yiman was finally relieved. The principal was willing to sacrifice his daughter for the sake of profit, Pei Kuishan retaliated against Zhang Yiman for being rejected for his confession, Zhou Tienan succumbed to power, and Zhang Yiman was debauched but assumed most of the responsibility. Human nature cannot be tempted, especially in the face of money. This movie actually has no shortage of laughs, and it is already comedy-centered.
