Can comedy + thriller really shoot well? "Amazing Night" is full of amazing attempts

Is Fan Chengcheng's acting skills good? Can comedy + thriller really shoot well? How great can "Great Night" be?

Due to the new actors, new genres and bold names, "The Great Night" is destined to attract a lot of attention, and the box office of 9 million on the first day of release is also a steady play, attracting audiences to the cinema to find out.

Actor New: idou comedy stars are in battle

As a short video "expert", Leopard's life is not "talented" at all - because his company is going out of business.

In addition to career setbacks, he also had to pay compensation for the accident, and the good brothers Monkey and Dog also proposed to break up at this time.

After a quarrel, the three brothers who ran to part ways reached an agreement: they would disperse after the last vote, and this "last vote" was to go to the crew to secretly film the daily life of actor Xiaoshan.

The three brothers who play the leopard, monkey and dog are Fan Chengcheng, Jiang Yi, and Gan Yunchen, while the actor Xiaoshan is played by Jiang Long, and the draft male idols meet the popular contestants in the comedy competition, which is really novel.

But all innovation comes with questioning: Can Fan Chengcheng pick the beam? Can sketch actors act in movies?

First look at Fan Chengcheng's appearance, gain thirty pounds and become a simple small-town youth, except for the two mustaches at the beginning that are a little surprising, at least you can see that he doesn't care about the idol baggage of the male idol, and works hard to get closer to the role.

For example, the scene of the melee with two good brothers at the beginning, the funny body and funny expressions are contrary to the rules of love bean expression management, but at least the character's state is open.

Also facing doubts, there are also the "three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family" from the "Annual Comedy Competition" - Jiang Long, Jiang Yi, Jiang Shimeng, the stage and camera have different requirements for actors, and appearing on the big screen will inevitably face more severe tests.

Especially in Xiaoshan played by Jiang Long, as the plot changes, he needs to interpret different levels of acting skills: the first is a rookie who can't act, the second is the real reaction of being scared, and the third is the smooth and natural after opening the trick, which is a huge problem in itself.

In addition to Aidou Harmony Star, the producer behind it is Yi Xiaoxing - the comedian who used "Never Expected" to make everyone never expect and used "The King of Bath" to popularize the Northeast Bathhouse culture, Kong Lianshun's participation is logical, "Great Night" naturally became a joke collision between several sets of actors, giving a unique sense of fatalism in and out of the play.

New theme: how to play comedy + suspense

When seeing "Great Night" linking the two labels of "comedy" and "suspense", the audience must be full of curiosity, how to reconcile this natural contradiction?

Transfer flowers and trees, so that every thriller has a comedy underpinning.

When the three brothers decided to do the last vote, the camera turned to the horror film set in the movie, and the horror atmosphere slowly filled with Kong Lianshun's narration, and the moment when encountering the ghost of Concubine Li during the treasure hunt, I am afraid that it frightened many audiences who were ready to watch the comedy.

Who would have thought, at this moment, the hill of poor acting thieves knocked down the set wall, and there was a tribute to Tom's wall-piercing fear - it was Tom in "Cat and Mouse".

It can be seen that the screenwriter is trying to create a meme, especially when connecting the two characteristics of comedy and thriller, "The Great Night" strives to create surprises, reversals and dispel the audience's fears through comedy.

In the process, thrillers and comedy also have a common gameplay - poor information.

In the simplest form, one person sees a ghost, the other is still in the dark, and the audience knows that this is just acting, and the double information difference causes a whole laugh.

Look at the plot setting, because the three brothers are outsiders who came to secretly film the crew, the story is divided into two lines, one inside the crew and one outside the crew, but they don't know that there are three ghost concubines, so this becomes a variable that intimidates each other, plus the group performance in the coffin, the dummy in the props, every plausible true and false puzzle is both the beginning of horror and the landing point of comedy.

Of course, even the "homophonic meme" that is most criticized by comedians on the Internet has played a unique role in the key plot - listening to "don't run first" as "no, run first", directly poking at the laughing plastic brotherhood of the protagonists.

Therefore, although the white light hitting the face is indeed terrifying, the funny material can quickly make up for the solution.

Script New: Game in the Game VS Play within a Play

Thanks to the two clues inside and outside the play, "Great Night" has a bit of the taste of the Japanese high-scoring movie "The camera doesn't stop", and there is even a line from the assistant director in the film, which says "it has not been turned off".

However, unlike the "shooting VS shooting" of "The Camera Don't Stop", "The Great Night" uses the inside and outside of the play as the reverse material, choosing to combine the two according to the four-act scene.

From the initial sneak peek to the end, everyone worked together for a story, and the two lines intertwined to open up a realistic metaphor about the film and television industry.

In terms of the main creator, the producer made the director afraid with a word, and even had to follow the gold lord's motorcycle trotting to shout the cold and ask for warmth, even if you want to add motorcycle implantation to the costume drama, you have to bite the bullet, because "capital is power", no matter how tough the director has no money or can't shoot anything.

In terms of actors, as long as the actor recognized by the capital or brought the capital into the group, even the director is not qualified to be replaced, and on the other hand, there are new actors who overcome their timidity and fear of heights all the way to make the pie drawn by the director come true.

In terms of publicity, the three brothers Leopard, Monkey and Dog entered the game because Xiaoshan hopes to hype the topic by shooting videos, and this is already an open secret in the entertainment industry - replacing works with gossip.

Even the chain of contempt of the cast and crew, "Great Night" has not been let go, newcomers who have returned from studying abroad are pretentious with gold plating, but experienced veterans in China have always emphasized the basics.

There is not a single sentence in the whole story that judges the right and wrong of the entertainment industry, but it connects the game in the middle of the game and the drama within the play in a comedy way, showing the sentient appearance of the small crew from point to point.

So, the dream of ordinary people on the big screen has no chance? Can't ordinary people have great highlight moments?

Instead of discussing whether the title should use the word "amazing", it is better to really look at the ignition point of the three words "amazing" in this story:

Short video bloggers who are not optimistic do their best to help a crew that has nothing to do with themselves, just to "get sincere recognition".

Rookie actors and stand-ins who have no backers and backgrounds speak passionately when even the director is ready to give up the film, and are willing to stick to the end even if there are only a few seconds of footage.

"Amazing Night" proves with an average five-minute thrilling reversal narrative rhythm and sincere and passionate emotions that you don't need yellow jokes and rotten terriers, as long as you are willing to persevere in the night when you can't stay up, you can create your own miracle.

Because, even after countless failures, "not turning off" proves that there are still actors working hard, there is still enthusiasm burning, and life is running, and firmly grasping this moment in front of you is the most remarkable night.
