On September 11, the movie "Catch the Big Talk" was launched on several genuine video platforms. The film starred Bu Yu, Xu Juncong and many other well-known actors of Big Bowl Entertainment. Judging only from the trailer weather, the film is more like a shoddy farce. In particular, some of Bao Bell's cameo content is really a typical farce mode. However, after watching the whole film, I think that the quality of the film is superior, and it has the style of Stephen Chow's early films. Therefore, it is worth introducing to you.
At the beginning of the film, it is indeed easy to dissuade fans. The beginning of "Big Talk God Catch" turned out to be haunted content, and it was learned that the county was sincerely afraid. Therefore, Zhixian should let the catchers prepare to catch ghosts. And this dead "ghost" turned out to be a people's woman, who went out of the city in the middle of the night a few days ago, encountered bandits, was killed by bandits, and then burned. At this point in the film, it is still just the tone of ordinary online movies.
Later, it will be the content of the catchers. Xu Juncong's little catcher, Who Touched the Melon, found that the female ghost was not a real ghost, but a character played by Bu Yu. The reason why this character pretends to be a female ghost is that he wants the county grandfather to investigate the murder of the women outside the city. Apparently, all the spearheads were directed at the bandits outside the city. Even if the film is narrated here, it can still only be regarded as an ordinary network film work, and there is no superiority.
However, what really makes people "excited" by the film is the in-depth link of the follow-up case. With the joint efforts of Bu Yu's character and Xu Juncong's character, more truths have emerged. The culprit for the death of the women was not some bandit outside the city, on the contrary, there were no bandits outside the city. The real culprit is the only son of the Great General.
In the face of this identity background, the role of Xu Juncong, who is only a small catcher, how will he investigate the case? When the film's narrative is here, it really has the flavor of Stephen Chow's early films. Zhou's early films are all about how small people fight back and satirize in a comedic way when they face a huge force that is difficult to resist. At this moment, the role played by Xu Juncong is more like the male protagonist of the small character in the Zhou movie that year.
The film story of "Big Talk God Catch" is played here, which makes fans sweat. How the small people choose does not make the audience wonder, because the film must follow the main narrative principle of the small people, so that the small people will eventually counterattack and punish the evil and promote the good. However, how the male protagonist of the little character punishes evil and promotes good has become a real narrative difficulty. Relying on the strength of the county government at that time, could it really shake the only son of the great general?
In line with the principle of no spoilers, the follow-up content of the old editor will not be stated. It can only be said that the story of "Big Talk God Catch" is unexpected by many fans. It can even be said that the final direction of this story is not something that ordinary movies can adopt. Fortunately, in the subtitle part, the film has made some content supplements that seem to be full of snakes, but are actually very useful. At the end of the whole film, the chivalrous spirit of the little catcher is clear.
The biggest feature of "Catch the Big Talk" is that it tells a very tragic story in a comedic way and humorously, and in this tragic story, the male protagonist and other small characters are irresistible in life. However, it is this irresistible weight that brings the little people to counterattack, who choose to maintain the professional ethics of catching fast in their own way. And this sense of righteousness is exactly the emotional core that "Big Talk God Catch" can really stand.
In the film, there are a lot of comedy dialogue. If you just look at the comedy baggage, "Catch the Big Talk" can also be regarded as a relatively good work. However, there is only comedic baggage, not an emotional core that produces value, and all the baggage is just the constituent factor of farce. In the film, the god man played by Bao Bell actually has no value at all. In the first half of the film, some fans complained that Bao Bell was a farce, which is not excessive.
When the final background of the film is revealed, all the comedic baggage in front of it, even the farce elements, suddenly become more serious. Comedy began to serve the main drama and serious drama. This is actually the importance of the emotional background! Many of our comedies are not funny, but after laughing, everyone will feel that the works without connotation are purely amusing things, lacking the profundity of smacking mouths. This "Catch of the Big Talk" just makes up for this depth.
Zhou Xingchi's early films also adopted this narrative style of small characters, the stitching of comedy sections, and the deep emotional connotation. Obviously, in this work of Xu Juncong and others, the key point of the real success of Zhou's early films has been touched. "Catch the Big Talk" is the right way to make comedy movies. This network movie, on the surface, is a farce, but in its bones, it is a good film. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
