Although Shen Teng in 2015 has been on the Spring Festival Gala several times, he can be regarded as a "budding" at best, and he is not famous in the film circle.
So when the two directors of "Charlotte Troubles" found Na Ying with the script, Na Ying was not optimistic about the movie, so he politely declined.
Unexpectedly, this movie won nearly 1.5 billion box office in one fell swoop, instantly lifting Shen Teng and Ma Li to the peak of their careers.
And this movie has also become a classic of comedy films, and I don't feel outdated when I look back on it so far, but I often have surprises that I haven't found before.
For example, several dragon set actors in the movie.
At that time, they were even less famous than Shen Teng, and basically no one knew them. Now that we know each other, looking back at their performance at that time, it will be interesting.
1. Huang Cailun.
At the beginning of the movie, the driver who drives Charlotte to the hotel in a luxury car is Huang Cailun, who plays Charlotte's brother-in-law. The classic line is: "My girlfriend is celebrating her 60th birthday today." ”
Huang Cailun is not tall, but he is smart and has ideas. So he has done both director and screenwriter, and his performance is very open. At one point, it was also regarded as the next Shen Teng.
Unfortunately, his personal style is not too prominent, it is difficult to impress people, so it is always difficult to become Shen Teng.
However, Huang Cailun has also achieved "well-known", and many people have seen him familiar.
He once starred in "Li Cha's Aunt" in "Li Cha's Aunt" and also starred in "The Sun Never Sets on the Hotel". Although the response was also mediocre.
Second, "Wolong Phoenix Chick" Wang Chengsi and Zhang Yiming.
In 2018, another movie starring Shen Teng, "The Richest Man in Xihong", was released, the main plot of which was that Wang Duoyu, played by Shen Teng, was asked to spend a billion yuan in a month but could not be deliberately wasted, and a series of funny stories led to it.
In order to "waste" this money as soon as possible, Wang Duoyu hired an assistant who was "less developed in mind but more prosperous" to be responsible for investment.
One day the assistant recommended him a tall man, called "Great Intelligence."
Wang Duoyu originally did not want to find someone else, but as soon as he saw the "smart" face of the big clever, he changed his mind.
After some pretense, the assistant confidently congratulated Wang Duoyu on "harvesting the Wolong Phoenix Chicks at the same time."
——This section makes people itch their hands after watching it, and they are eager to give him two slaps. But it's hilarious and impressive. Since then, some netizens have ridiculed: from now on, "Wolong Phoenix" is no longer a positive word.
Playing the role of "Wolong Phoenix Chick", one is named Zhang Yiming, and the other is Wang Chengsi.
For this role, Zhang Yiming deliberately gained 40 pounds, and his belly was stretched out. Previously, in Charlotte Troubles, he was a personable wedding host.
It was the one who collided with Charlotte's "chicken feather suit".
And Wang Chengsi has now become a gold medal supporting role, very controlling for funny characters, and the appearance is also his own happy point.
For example, in "Shy Iron Fist", he played the master who handed out leaflets when he was cool, but was killed in the next second, and played Geng Nursing Home in "Son-in-law".
There are also two bodyguards in "Detective Chinatown 2", one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, and he is the short one.
Wang Chengsi played Charlotte's classmate "SiSi" in "Charlotte Troubles". At that time, almost no one knew him, and he looked "normal" with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He has very few shots, not even lines, but the scenes are quite complete.
Qiu Ya had him at the wedding, and when Charlotte returned to high school, he sat in the first row of the classroom, and he was quite student-like.
They both ran the dragon suit in this movie, is it a bit unexpected?
3. Wei Xiang.
Wei Xiang actually did not show his face in "Charlotte Troubles", but he had his voice.
Charlotte beat the teacher, and his mother did not let Charlotte be expelled by means, but only needed to be reviewed in public at the school-wide assembly.
A voiceover at the meeting said that Charlotte "repented by jumping off a building and also took the initiative to help frightened classmates do artificial respiration." ”
At that time, I always thought it was the voice of Principal Li Liqun, but in fact it was Wei Xiang.
Wei Xiang is also the elder of Happy Twist and one of the "meritorious actors", and his comedic style is extremely personal.
The most familiar is that he later played a football coach in "The Richest Man in Xihong", performing a "three mouths and a pig".
Although it is also a supporting role, the football coach played by Wei Xiang is particularly comedic, and even the voice is extremely recognizable. His thick voice contrasts with the joy of his body performance.
When you know that the passage in "Charlotte Troubles" is Wei Xiang's voice, you will have a sense of substitution when you listen to that line again, and you will feel more comedic.
In fact, in addition to these "golden dragon sets", many golden supporting characters in "Charlotte Troubles" have more highlights. For example, Song Yang, who "doesn't smoke from the fire", Allen of "Big Silly Spring", And Yin Zheng, who is "snowflakes fluttering", and so on.
A good movie not only needs a good plot design, but also casting is a top priority.
The reason why this movie is classic should be mainly to do these two points correctly. I haven't seen a better comedy movie since then.
Have you ever seen it?
