The Spring Festival blockbuster in the Year of the Rabbit, the family-themed "Exchange Life" was originally highly anticipated, but recently the film's reputation has been seriously polarized, with an online score of only 5.7, and even some netizens complained that it was a bad film.
For example, many netizens are watching Zhang Xiaofei, the "national mother", who knows that Zhang Xiaofei has fewer scenes in the play, except for some interactive plots between her and Lei Jiayin, the whole plot is not funny enough, and does not play all her comedy skills.
After all, watching comedy movies, everyone always likes to laugh a lot.
In addition to Zhang Xiaofei's few scenes, Lei Jiayin has many scenes and acting skills are also online, but it seems that the core point of the story is not on him, so some netizens complained that Zhang Youhao is the absolute male protagonist, saying that the director is a good hand to play sparsely.
In addition, some netizens complained that the plot was "didactic" sensationalism, kneading family affection and love together, which did not meet the expected value in their hearts.
In fact, "Exchange Life" is the main family theme, not a comedy in the traditional sense, the core of what you want to convey is ease and warmth, and there are many highlights in the film, which is memorable.
1, Zhang Xiaofei who became the "national goddess" of "national mother"
"Exchange Life" is directed by mainland female director Su Lun, who has won many newcomer director awards for "Living Together in Time and Space".
As a female director, Zhang Xiaofei under her lens has reached a new height, directly from the "national mother" Li Huanying to the "national goddess" Jin Hao.
Experience growth and healing in a small and beautiful love story, which is also a personal feature in Suren-style movies, thus delicately highlighting Zhang Xiaofei's high appearance and good acting skills.
For example, Zhang Xiaofei and Lei Jiayin have a scene of heart-to-heart conversation on the rooftop, and under the background of light and shadow, this moment of ruffling hair immediately makes people call out to be beautiful, and also gets the heroine's heartbeat moment.
In the clip of the game hall, the interaction between Zhang Xiaofei and Lei Jiayin is naturally warm, and the smile is very substitutionary.
And when she ran away on KTV to sing "Backlight", she was said by netizens to be too cute.
Some netizens said that she acted so realistically, she was simply herself in life.
Zhang Xiaofei wears a red skirt, although he collided with crayfish in the film, but in fact, this shape is quite beautiful, exuding an elegant and atmospheric feeling.
2. The surprise of many comedians helps
In "Exchange Life", in addition to several main creators, the supporting actors are also "promising", such as Yang Di, Yue Yunpeng, Xu Zhisheng have come to help, and many viewers are quite surprised to see their appearance.
Yang Di made a guest appearance in "Living Together in Time and Space" four years ago, and played a waiter in the film, and this time he is a waiter in "Exchange Life", and the rivalry with Lei Jiayin can be described as full of laughter.
Yang Di ridiculed himself in the interview for becoming a waiter professional, and said in all seriousness that he was the best choice.
In the film, he and Lei Jiayin want to take a photo together, and Yang Di's white eyes suddenly became a highlight, worthy of being a "natural comedian".
And Xiao Yue Yue starred in a taxi driver, netizens praised him as a driver who knows how to observe words, when Zhang Xiaofei got into the car, he provided all kinds of intimate services, and he also shut up and drove with insight.
Watching Lei Jiayin come to chase the car, he directly exclaimed "Wow, love".
That little expression has a feeling of "I understand everything",
Even netizens said that he was "the originator of chasing cars and seeking compounding".
Xiao Yueyue also posted a message to thank the director team, so that he was finally in the car this time, which was too terrifying.
In addition, the dialogue between stand-up comedy Xu Zhisheng and Lei Jiayin in the rain is also eye-catching. When the lost Lei Jiayin was walking in the heavy rain, Xu Zhisheng appeared with his trademark bangs, "Sir, do you buy a house?" ”
A simple line, but let everyone immediately remember his house selling brother, saying that when he saw him and Xiao Yueyue appeared, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
3. Family affection portrays nature and truth
Compared with the love line in the film, the family line in "Exchange Life" is actually better depicted.
At the beginning of the film, Grandma Xiaogu forgot the password of her social account because of amnesia, and this account was mentioned many times in the story, until the account was found at the end of the film, and the grandmother's words in the video can be called the finishing touch, and it is also very moving.
There is also the place where Lu Xiaogu traveled through the past, in fact, his grandmother often took him when he was a child, and this foreshadowing is also one of the key points for Xiaogu to find himself.
Xiaotani wants to grow up and be with Jinhao, but he also ignores the warmth and beauty of his family's side, and it is not until the end that he discovers that his family is the greatest source of strength in his heart.
And this line of Jin Hao and her mother is also quite moved, Jin Hao's mother owes a lot of debts, but gave up the "low-hanging fruit" million for her daughter, which is her sincerity and kindness aroused by Jin Hao.
After the mother and daughter fought each other, Jin Hao's mother handed her a bowl full of shrimp, and this small detail made the audience instantly feel the purity of maternal love.
In general, the film "Exchange Life" is very suitable for the whole family to watch, and it is also a rare family theme in this year's Spring Festival, as its promotional slogan says "funny not tired, home is the most precious", watching movies together as a family must be the warm core that the film wants to convey.
