Bet on the right treasure!
This year's Spring Festival file is known as the strongest in recent years, from sports to suspense, from animation to science fiction, all seven movies have their own strengths, all have reasons why they must enter the theater.
Looking at the dazzling choices in front of me, I suddenly became "rebellious".
The first movie just wanted to watch "Exchange Life".
Admittedly, "Exchange Life" is not selling as much as other movies.
Starring Lei Jiayin and Zhang Xiaofei, although they have just won the Golden Eagle Film and the Golden Rooster Film respectively, the honor is in the limelight.
But in the field of film, a person who is not interested in this, a just start, compared with the big guys in the same schedule, is still a "newcomer".
Coupled with the cost and other reasons, the volume of "Exchange Life" is not as loud as others.
However, in the pre-examination of the Spring Festival advance pre-sale, "Exchange Life" won the fourth place in the middle of the seven contestants, and the box office prediction reached 1.4 billion.
The results are not strong.
A small-cost comedy, why is it favored by so many people?
On the one hand, from the perspective of the market, comedy movies are frequent customers who create miracles, "This killer is not very calm", "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Mermaid" have been like this for many years.
After all, the Spring Festival stall wants to be happy.
On the other hand, it is because of a name:
Director - Suren
In 2018, the same low-cost romantic comedy "Time and Space Cohabitation" was released.
At first, no one was optimistic about the movie, and in the end, it cut a full 900 million box office, and even re-screened it twice during the epidemic period, which is enough to see the success.
The box office exploded, and the reputation was also good.
Some people say, "This is the best domestic love fantasy film in recent years." ”
And as a director who created miracles, Su Len has just filmed his second movie.
In this "Exchange Life", Suren made the third axe, which is also the first focus on the world after her success.
It's still love, it's still fantasy, of course, it's still Lei Jiayin.
Dege, who has just walked out of the cinema, has his confidence in "Exchange Life" skyrocketing again, and he has the hope of a dark horse in the Spring Festival file.
As for why, Brother De will talk about why this "funny and not tired" story can get so much weight from three perspectives.
"Exchange Life"
First of all, there is a hard need to be repeatedly emphasized:
The basic skill of comedy is to make the audience laugh, you can't laugh, no matter how high your value is, it is useless.
And "Exchange Life" impressed me the most
It's hilarious!
As the title suggests, the film tells the story of a successful person who swaps bodies with an underage student due to an accident.
"Lu Xiaogu" is a student, young and young, and he secretly promises the teacher "Jin Hao" of the MLM Group.
But as one of the school's "seven nests of waste", Lu Xiaogu obviously can't face this crush.
And Jin Hao recently had a financial crisis, because his mother went astray, resulting in high debts in the family.
In order to alleviate the pressure, Jin Hao could only meet the barrister "Zhongda" through the name of blind date.
Zhongda undertook the lawsuit of the MLM company at this time, and he sold his soul for money, knowing that the MLM company was fraudulent, but still secretly communicating with the defendant as the plaintant's lawyer.
The plan has reached the last step, Zhongda saw that victory was in sight, and also temporarily asked for 3 million black to eat black, and Jin Hao blind date, the original intention was also to find a clean bank card.
Unexpectedly, he collided with his "love enemy" Lu Xiaogu on the road.
Crashing into Zhonglu Xiaogu, he fell into the "other world" and got a "wishing machine", and through making a wish, his soul penetrated Zhongda's body, and Zhongda was also replaced by Lu Xiaogu.
Since becoming Zhongda, the movie has begun the rhythm of chicken flying dog jumping, and the 39-year-old Lei Jiayin plays a minor, which is beyond the eye.
Lively, the chicken thief is a little angry.
After the transformation, he was originally full of sadness, but when he thought that he could use this identity to fall in love, he immediately showed a lewd smile.
"Before you change back, spend his money and go on a date like him..."
Open your mind and bless in disguise!
This cute expression makes people believe that Lei Jiayin hides the acne under the crow's feet.
More surprises are yet to come.
After becoming Zhongda, Lu Xiaogu found Jin Hao non-stop, Zhang Xiaofei was originally an actor, and later specialized in sketch stage plays, and expression management was even richer.
At the beginning of the movie, Zhang Xiaofei entered with highlights + upgrades, and appeared like all popular goddesses.
I thought the movie would cast her into a vase of a goddess high above.
Then, when she turned into the unaccompanied staircase and immediately rushed into the second floor with a crab, half a mouthful of Coke in my mouth almost spewed out.
That gesture... It can only be said that only Zhang Xiaofei can perform!
The movie entered hilarious comedy mode in the first second after the transformation, and 184's Lei Jiayin "strayed" into the house in a sexy crop top, and only one scene triggered a series of jokes, and the theater burst into laughter for more than 5 minutes.
When they were dating, Lu Xiaogu bought milk tea for the goddess in order to pack a large amount of money, and said proudly that as long as a large cup -
The next shot is carrying a bucket of a water dispenser in hand...
When they had a misunderstanding, Lu Xiaogu was wearing a studded suit + smoky makeup, calling a lobster and taking pictures alone,
In the end, I had to call my mother even if I didn't break up, and showed the "ten characteristics that women hate men the most" like a textbook.
When they finally broke up, Lu Xiaogu, dressed in the skin style of "human high-quality male", pulled the car window and asked Jin Hao, "Do you think I'm special", Jin Hao blurted out in a collapse:
"I think you're a fool!"
The entire screening hall burst into laughter, and the reverberations of laughter could not stop for a long time.
This is a male nerve meets a female nerve! After reading it, my whole person is in bad spirits!
This leads to the first point:
This movie is just funny.
Every time the male and female protagonists play against each other, it is a hysterical "performance art".
Funny, hilarious and the baggage turned over and over, whether it was the shape, lines, and actions, it achieved the ultimate "laughing fruit".
The time Brother watched it, the laughter has never stopped since the beginning of the movie.
The audience almost became the "cheer" of the movie, and the burden shook out, which immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter, and even a little girl next to me laughed and her mobile phone fell to the floor and did not have time to pick it up.
Not only Lei Jiayin and Zhang Xiaofei's neuropathy, but all the crew fell into a madness.
Liu Mintao jumped on the sofa, Sha Yi COS Xu Wenqiang, Yu Ailei Xie Ding, Yang Di pretended to be blind, and Yue Yunpeng stopped chasing taxis and became taxi drivers.
Even Ms. Wu Yanshu, who has just won the actress, challenged Raper at the age of 84.
When a small hat is worn, everyone respects.
Looking at the shooting footage, the movie not only projected happiness onto the screen, but also reflected it to everyone, and the entire crew couldn't stop laughing when filming.
Therefore, everyone opened their brains and offered their own improvisations -
Zhang Xiaofei's hurdles, Yang Di's pretending to be blind, and Liu Mintao and Sha Yi's large lines after meeting the "fake son" are all live plays after the start-up.
Works shot with joy can only be delivered to the audience to be happier.
In addition to doing the basic work of baggage, the second point is more precious:
Funny but not obscene.
No, no meat jokes, even a kiss on the mouth has to be pushed out a meter away (this is true).
The tone of the movie is warm, the colors are bright, and even the characters have a certain cartoonness, making people laugh easily, watching intently, suitable for all ages, and not taboo.
Moreover, the film uses a large number of stylized photography, the picture is full of light and colorful, with ascending, frame extraction, large backlight and other techniques, director Suren obviously wants to bring the audience a fantasy journey of light and shadow.
Romantic, magnificent and full of life.
Let's just say that from 99 to just go, you can choose this movie.
Third, laughter is also educational.
The film makes reasonable use of the "exchange" setting, so that the atmosphere is between reality and surreal, it is like the rich imagination in our minds is concretized one by one.
And the core of the whole movie, in addition to the cliché topic of family, what surprised me more was the dislocation of the stages of life.
When we were young, we always fantasized about growing up overnight and then doing what we loved and protecting the people we wanted to protect.
But when we grow up, we will remember our childhood beautiful, carefree, and innocent.
It is said that life is a process of constant regret, no matter what stage of life, people will always look forward to the future, remember the past, but miss the present.
"Exchange Life" uses students and adults to exchange each other, and the surface is full of jokes, in fact, it is also a simple truth:
"The happiness around you is the distance that you need, a very powerful person, he just needs to illuminate each other with his family."
Or to put it simply,
Be bold to love, take bold steps, and boldly say "I love you" to your family.
This truth, whether adults or children, deep and shallow, will get their own answer.
In addition to not obscene laughter, it can also provide some value output, and it is already a huge success for a comedy movie to do this.
Zhang Xiaofei is still the hegemon after returning from "missing for 2 years"
Although I can't believe it, "Hello, Li Huanying" is already a movie 2 years ago.
The film went from being ridiculed as a "speculative work" to winning 5.4 billion at the box office, and starring Zhang Xiaofei also became famous and was called "mother" by thousands of netizens.
suddenly became the heroine of the 5.4 billion box office, it stands to reason that Zhang Xiaofei should have a smooth star, but after "Hello, Li Huanying", she completely disappeared.
Because of the Tai Fo department, even the fan support club chose to disband.
After becoming famous, the words on her lips were "to meet different challenges" and to make "the audience forget the role of mother".
Immediately after the success of the role, it seems that he does not want to operate the residual heat of "Li Huanying" at all.
From this point of view, Zhang Xiaofei is either "stupid" and does not know how to operate himself at all, or he puts his goal at a higher place and does not need to operate himself at all.
Obviously, Zhang Xiaofei belongs to the latter.
There is no hype, no screen, and even few variety shows, and in the face of the microphone, she will always only talk about work.
Although the only works in the past two years are the parents of students who flashed in "Me and My Fathers", Zhang Xiaofei once said that his wish is four plays.
A suspense, a costume, a comedy, an idol drama.
And now, Zhang Xiaofei has acted in a comedy, the suspense drama "Save the Suspect" is about to be broadcast, and the romantic dramas "When Love" and "Good Things Become Pairs" are also on the string, only the costume is not completed.
With a bang, he almost fulfilled his wish.
It seems that Zhang Xiaofei disappeared after the explosion, not because he had no idea, but because he had too many ideas.
The still water flows deeply, Zhang Xiaofei is silent, but step by step to a higher place, the success of "Exchange of Life" will make her a hundred feet.
As of press time, "Exchange Life" broke 100 million early, with a cumulative box office of 148 million, and the prospects are promising.
After all, the most important thing is to be happy in the New Year!
