"Great Night" is stable, screaming with a smile is really cool, and Fan Chengcheng, who gained 30 pounds, is amazing

The film market has been weak recently, so when "The Great Night" opened in 39 on March 25 and 26, I had a sneak peek.

Originally, I thought that "Great Night" was a collection of nonsensical comedy and thriller movies, and the movie taste was biased towards funny films produced by "Happy Twist".

But after watching it, I didn't expect that this movie was "ruthless", and all the comedy "baggage" trembled very loudly, without deliberately hard funny.

It is very clever to chop up the fragments of classic sketches in some comedy competitions and then integrate them into the plot, which can easily evoke the audience's happy memories and have the mosaic effect of a play within a play.

And all the "laughing terriers" of "Great Night" are very new, proving that the main creative team is serious about "funny".

People who used to laugh very high, they laughed solidly several times.

1. Explore the boundaries of comedy

In terms of thriller plot, director Ma Kai feels particularly surprised.

There are a lot of plot reversals in the movie, making it impossible to guess what the end of this film is?

Director Ma Kai said bluntly: "I like thrillers and comedies very much", "I created it as a script job at the end of 2012, incorporating what I saw and heard in the drift", "I am curious about what kind of spark the combination of two strong genres will produce"!

And Yi Xiaoxing, the producer of "The Great Night", was also attracted by the mature thriller framework and natural sense of humor of the script, so he joined hands with the young director to complete this thriller comedy film with rich roles and testing the boundaries of comedy.

What makes me most pleased is that this film not only controls the audience's viewing emotions, but also guides the audience to think.

2. Guide the audience to think deeply

There are three waves of people in the story: the short video shooting team; an Internet actor who wants to be popular; In order to make the filming effect, the director of the capital and the crew was calculated.

These characters are a group of people who are in trouble and have no choice, so on a night of mutual use, with their own careful machine, they staged a big drama hidden in the night.

But it is these characters who seem to be particularly ordinary and "decaying" that question the ideals in their hearts over and over again:

The director asked the producer: Why divest?

The dog asked Brother Leopard: Why do you have to make a video?

Oyama asked the director: Why replace me?

Everyone is forced to distance themselves from their ideals for one reason or another.

So a group of people who couldn't hold on were ready to disperse, but they didn't expect that Brother Leopard, who was a stand-in in the play, stood up, threw down the cigarette butt fiercely and said calmly: Can you accept the script change?

To be honest, Fan Chengcheng, who plays a leopard, has always been the little brother among variety show guests in my impression, but this shot he played so courageously, he can indeed be liked!

It was this insignificant person on the set who reversed this incident and told us that what we decided could be done desperately.

At the same time, there are actors who want to realize their dreams with their own salaries to invest in movies, short video bloggers who want to make millions of hits, and the director appropriately integrates these persistence and love into the plot.

It is not deliberately high, but it has become a rare place in the movie.

3. Stabilize actor output

Fan Chengcheng's acting performance in this movie is absolutely qualified, not only can he not see that he is a "draft artist", the acting output is very natural.

And the shape of the leopard is also very subversive for Fan Chengcheng, which was originally in the poster.

I didn't expect at all that this scruffy young man with a mustache would be Fan Chengcheng.

In order to benchmark with the decadent short video blogger, Fan Chengcheng gained 30 pounds, and the most valuable thing is that Fan Chengcheng himself has his own interpretation of leopards.

"The leopard in my mind is a small-town young man who is running for life, and he also has a part of my inner character, so I hope to try to get close to him through the connection between appearance and psychology, so that the audience can feel a real character."

The concubine Li who hung directly in the air without dropping Weiya in the story is played by Wang Zixuan.

This Shanxi girl, who looks cold on the outside and actually has a rather cheerful personality, is an acting student, and her ghostly appearance in "The Great Night" is the core character of the thriller part of the story.

As soon as he appeared, he stretched out a frightening "ghost claw", and then gave a "ghost back look" that people couldn't bear to look at, with the cold music, I was really scared.

Fortunately, this movie knows that it is enough to stop, and will always insert a cheerful plot at the right time, and Ghost Concubine has shown a dull expression more than once, which makes me can't help but think of the humorous effect of Lin Zhengying's ghost story once.

Jiang Yi plays the leopard's good brother Monkey, in order to go to the thriller theater with the leopard for secret filming, he also painted "Lifei Makeup", privately thinking that his style, without his comedy talent, can make people laugh can't stop.

He also worked with Jiang Chengcheng, who loved to play and played, often took the "ghost costume" to visit other crews, and became a "dare not mess" character.

The director played by Liang Long is the most worthy of the ticket price, sighing and singing, shouting baby in a strange tone of yin and yang, which makes people get goosebumps.

Such a stable actor, coupled with an interlocking and constantly reversing plot, is really worth a trip to the theater and not losing money in the shares!
