Win the box office on a daily basis! Douban has almost no bad reviews, why is Dapeng comedy blockbuster so "horizontal"

After the Spring Festival, the popularity of theater blockbusters finally began to decline. The domestic films that followed the online occupied the advantage, but the downturn of the entire market led to everyone's box office results being unsatisfactory.

The box office result of the Hong Kong film "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" is only 8 million, and the following "Cloister Pavilion" obviously has the IP influence of Keigo Higashino, and the box office result after the launch is only less than 6 million, which is bleak to the same as the Spring Festival movie that has been online for 46 days.

In such a sluggish environment, "Keep You Safe" has become the only movie worth watching in theaters. According to the data, although "Keep You Safe" is in the screening period, the daily box office results have doubled and crushed the movies behind it, steadily won the daily box office championship, and accounted for the vast majority of the market with 17.9% of the films.

The key is that the performance of "Keep You Safe" in word-of-mouth fully reflects the box office "endurance" of the movie. Click on the Douban comment area of the movie, almost all of them are highly recognized by netizens.

Some netizens bluntly said that "I like it very much, each of Dapeng's films has obvious progress", and some netizens praised "Although not perfect, it is already rare, especially at the end, it is solidly moved".

And just like netizens, the "brutal" momentum of the comedy blockbuster "Keep You Safe" in the box office data is directly linked to the quality of the film itself.

With tears in laughter, "Keep You Safe" truly achieves humor and irony

In fact, from the plot and main line of the movie, the topic discussed in "Keep You Safe" is quite heavy. The protagonist in the movie is middle-aged Wei Pingan, who makes a living by live streaming goods and selling cemeteries, he is ordinary and has no bright spots, but he is just and kind, for the reputation of the deceased customer, he has proved what it means to "spread rumors with a mouth, refute rumors and run off legs".

And in the plot of "Keep You Safe", only Wei Pingan firmly believes that rumors are not facts, he runs around, looking for the truth, the whole process is absurd enough to make the audience laugh, but his kind actions contributed to another rumor, he was raped by the Internet, attacked, until the surreal "white horse" appeared, his soul was healed.

From the plot point of view, the comedy atmosphere of "Keep You Safe" is quite strong, but the story itself is a tragedy. Han Lu, played by Song Qian, has a miserable life, but she is beautiful and kind. After becoming terminally ill, she bought a cemetery for herself and donated the rest of her assets to the orphanage where she grew up.

This in itself is just an ordinary social news, but the comment of an anonymous netizen made the rumors spread ten, ten, and hundred, and Han Lu became a "lady sitting on the platform" with an unruly style, and even the orphanage did not dare to accept this donation after her death.

Public opinion did not treat the kind girl kindly, but the righteous Wei Pingan became her knight. In order to clarify the facts, Wei Pingan went through many hardships and almost lost his job. Wei Pingan's appearance became the only goodwill Han Lu received, but Wei Pingan, who had broken his leg, could not escape the attack of rumors.

In "Keep You Safe", a comedy movie that makes the audience laugh and cry, there is satire of reality everywhere. And the live broadcast goods, hot search topics, Internet keyboard man, school bullying and other elements that appear in the movie are so close to reality that after leaving the theater, they still make the audience have endless memories.

The actors are online throughout, and each character is impressive

In fact, the audience has always been harsh on the actor Dapeng, and since he began his theatrical career, there have been doubts. But in the past two years, Dapeng has made obvious progress as a director and an actor.

Like the 2020 movie "Auspicious Ruyi", directed and acted by Dapeng, the final score reached a high level of 7.7 points, and it was nominated for the Golden Goblet Award at the Shanghai International Film Festival.

And this time, Dapeng's shaping in the movie once again took the texture of the little people into the wood.

In the movie, he wears a light green frizzy haircut, wears ordinary clothes, and rides a simple motorcycle. When he answered the phone, he frowned, squinted, and pulled his throat and asked "who?" Simple body language and facial expressions vividly play a small person at the bottom.

And more importantly, Dapeng also performed a simple and simple sense of modern martial arts. In the process of helping Han Lu get rid of the rumors, his every action is simple and direct, like a knight who sees the road unevenly, allowing the audience to see an extraordinary side in the shadow of ordinary people.

In addition to Dapeng, the actor shaping in "Keep You Safe" can always hit the hearts of the audience. Li Xueqin, who has some literary art and even inferiority on weekdays, is simply a natural comedian in the movie. As soon as he opened his mouth, the Northeast dialect with a strong taste was completely grounded, and in terms of styling, Li Xueqin made a bold attempt to make the audience unforgettable.

Of course, to say that the most touching role in the movie is Song Qian's Han Lu. She is beautiful and gentle, and there are not many shots, but in every peaceful smile, she gives the audience a sour and fragile feeling. It is precisely because Song Qian's image is too beautiful and her performance is full of warmth, so the unfairness encountered by the role makes the audience feel more sorry for Han Lu, the girl.

In addition, Yin Zheng, Wang Xun, Wang Shengdi, Ma Li, Bai Yu and other actors have all played brilliantly in the movie, and their acting skills are online. This can be called the configuration of the all-star cast, so that "Keep You Safe" attracts more audiences. But as soon as you walk into the cinema, the audience will find that Dapeng may have used his connections, but never the popularity of these stars.

Of course, "Keep You Safe" is not a perfect work. Judging from the plot alone, the shaping of "Keep You Safe" in many details is obviously not in line with the current public opinion environment. For example, the basic setting of Miss Sitting Platform = moral flaws is slightly biased. In reality, if there really is a lady sitting on the platform who donates all her savings after her death, it must not attract overwhelming infamy, but all praise.

However, a small flaw in the plot setting did not affect the laughter of "Keep You Safe", nor did it reduce the tears in the movie.

At present, "Keep You Safe" has not been officially launched, but it is certain that this is a work that is most worthy of audiences entering the cinema in the current market environment.

This time, I also hope that audiences who like comedy movies will put aside their prejudices against Dapeng and give him a chance to prove himself. Finally, what else do you think of this new film by Dapeng? Join the discussion in the comments section.
