The new movie score exceeds "The Wandering Earth 2", and after 8 years of silence, Dapeng hit Wang Fried!

After the beginning of 2023, there are two "frustrated" directors who try to turn over with new movies, one is Deng Chao, who "deceived" the audience with a bad film with a box office of 2 billion, and the other is Dapeng, who was once known as "Stephen Chow's successor".

Unfortunately, even if Deng Chao let his wife and children work hard to promote together, "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back" has only received more than 97 million box office so far.

It is said that the investment in this film cost nearly 350 million yuan, this time Deng Chao really planted a big heel, and whether he can pull investment in the future is a problem.

But on the other hand, Dapeng, who is known as "Stephen Chow's successor" and "Zhao Benshan's beloved" but is "dumb" halfway, seems to have signs of turning over.

On March 8, Dapeng's new film "Keep You Safe" will be screened and will be officially released on March 10.

The film was originally scheduled to be broadcast during the Spring Festival, but it was canceled and dragged on for almost 3 months before it was put on the screen.

But surprisingly, the reputation of this movie is quite good, and the audience who have seen the screening basically give 4 to 5 star evaluations, some exaggerate Peng's acting skills, some exaggerate Peng's directorial skills, anyway, the film review area is very harmonious.

On Maoyan, the score of "Keep You Safe" has reached a high score of 9.5, which is on par with "Manjiang Red" and 0.2 points higher than "The Wandering Earth 2".

"Keep You Safe" focuses on practical issues such as online violence and school violence, and its intention is still relatively profound.

Dapeng plays the cemetery manager, a female customer of the cemetery was rumored to be "miss" after her death, Dapeng did not want her to carry the insult after her death, so she began to clarify for her, and as a result, she also fell into rumors.

The theme of the movie is relatively heavy, but Dapeng has added many comedy elements to it, so it will not seem too preachy.

Dapeng also gathered comedians including Ma Li, Li Xueqin, Qiao Shan, Jia Bing, Yang Di, Yu Yang, as well as Yin Zheng, Ni Hongjie, Bai Yu and other powerful people, for a comedy, this lineup is already luxurious.

In the process of the roadshow, Ma Li compared "Keep You Safe" to the original "Charlotte Troubles", saying that she believed that the reputation of the movie could explain everything, and she was full of confidence in "Keep You Safe" between words.

From 2015 to the present, Dapeng, which has been silent for almost 8 years, has finally ushered in the moment of "Nirvana Rebirth".

Dapeng has many labels: "hard work", "vulgar", "bad films", "thoughtful", these labels contradict each other, but they are all true portrayals of Dapeng.

Dapeng is a relatively unusual type of ordinary people, when he was in high school, he opened a concert with 200 listeners, and formed a band in college, and after graduation, he directly began to drift north with a small treasury, dreaming of becoming the second beyond.

But dreams are always out of reach, Dapeng was cheated out of money by the record company, and could only put down his dream and start murdering, and by chance became the editor of a website, working for 10 years.

In the past 10 years, Dapeng has risen from editor to host all the way due to his outstanding performance, and even has his own talk show "Dapeng Bar".

In the eyes of the audience, Dapeng is already very beautiful, but within the company, he is just a small host who can be replaced at any time.

After trying his best to dispel the idea of changing the leader, Dapeng got drunk and said cruelly to his colleagues: "I want to make myself popular!" No one will want to replace me in the future! ”

So how do you make yourself popular? Dapeng chooses to be an actor, a director, and a star!

In 2010, Dapeng successfully studied with Zhao Benshan and became Zhao Benshan's No. 53 disciple, accumulating many contacts.

In 2012, Dapeng was inspired by the German comedy short film "D Silk Lady" and wrote, directed and acted in "D Silk Men".

When that online drama was just budding, this comedy short film was a great success as soon as it was broadcast, becoming a phenomenal hit, and Dapeng became popular all over the Internet.

At that time, Wang Baoqiang had not yet hooked up with Xu Zheng, Shen Teng did not know where to act in dramas, Stephen Chow may not have had new works for a long time, and the comedy industry has been flat for too long.

The appearance of "D Silk Man" is of epoch-making significance, and the audience has high expectations for Dapeng, even calling him "Stephen Chow's successor".

After tasting the taste of popularity, Dapeng burst into steam and launched the self-directed and self-acted movie "Pancake Man".

But how to say, the popularity of "D Silk Men" has a lot to do with the script, and the script is not Dapeng's original, he borrowed a lot of the plot of "D Silk Lady".

To put it more bluntly, Dapeng's ability to write the script is not in place.

The audience is willing to wait for the update of "D Silk Man" every day and laugh with the slightly vulgar plot inside, but they will not be willing to spend money to go to the cinema and watch a movie piled up by rotten terriers.

"Pancake Man" can be said to be Dapeng's "fate" everywhere, although the big names gather, but the cost is not much, the cost is only 50 million, but the box office has reached a staggering 1.1 billion.

It can also be seen from here that the early Dapeng, like Deng Chao in the middle period, actually did not care much about word of mouth in order to pursue commercial interests.

The problem is that Dapeng comes from grassroots and is far less powerful than Deng Chao's box office appeal, and the audience can give Deng Chao two chances, but is only willing to give Dapeng one chance.

The film and television industry is like this, directors and actors can just cheat the audience, but they can't ask for tickets and archways, and if they want to save the audience in the future, they must pay three or five times the effort.

Even if Dapeng later "changed his mind", broke away from low-grade fun, and filmed "Sewing Machine Band" based on his own experience, he wanted to play an emotional card for the audience, but he only succeeded in playing a small part.

To be honest, Dapeng is also working hard, and after "Pancake Man", he tried his best to show his "connotation" side to the audience.

In addition to filming "Sewing Machine", he also took time to shoot "Auspicious Ruyi", which focused on folk themes, and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Short Film.

After filming "Auspicious ", Dapeng temporarily put down his directing job and became an actor full-time, going to experience roles in different movies.

In "Desperate", he changed his D silk image and incarnated as a small person who walks between good and evil, bringing a new experience to the audience.

In "The Big Winner", Dapeng plays a bank clerk who has to "find a lottery" and has to raise the security drill to an unprecedented height, which is ridiculous at first and thought-provoking later.

In "The Beneficiary", Dapeng struggles to hover between family affection, love and money, and uses the most intimidating way to perform the dark side and shining points of human nature.

It can be seen that in the past, Dapeng was using his works to please the audience, and now he is expressing himself with his works.

He seems to have embarked on the road of "black comedy", packaging social pain points with comedy, and today's commercial comedy is worthy of recognition.

In fact, since "Pancake Man", Dapeng has been using works to make up for the audience, but unfortunately has little effect.

Affected by the theme and schedule, it may be difficult for "Keep You Safe" to become a box office king, but Dapeng's reputation is time to be reversed!
