"Great Night" is really amazing, different from the previous pure thriller or pure comedy, the thriller and comedy mode is really rare, originally thought to be just a comedy movie with a simple narrative, but unexpectedly brought me a lot of surprise viewing experience.
This is also the first time that Pickpocket has watched this type of film.
First of all, comedy runs through almost the entire film, and there will be laughs from beginning to end;
Secondly, when comedy meets thriller, Sister Pickpocket thought that it was difficult for the two to blend together, but after watching it, the thriller part is still okay, there are a few places that really scare the audience, and the laughter interspersed is not abrupt, that is, when you feel terrible, the comedy comes out, and it does ease some of the thriller atmosphere, and the overall plot is smooth and natural.

Let's talk about the film's filming method of a play-within-a-play.
The narrative and rhythm of the film are very well grasped, and the entire movie scenes are arranged in Hengdian City at night. The double-line structure of the play within the play and the outside of the play is also more classic, and every shuttle inside and outside the play provides a lot of space for burying baggage.
At the beginning, it always opens with a play within a play, and the first reversal is really not expected.
When the play I watched later became one of the plays, I was actually a little confused, and I couldn't tell whether it was a play or a play within a play. I was really deceived by the play within the play, and the tense atmosphere was strongly rendered.
From the plot point of view, the process of the three parties cheating each other, creating false ghosts in order to seek the truth, and reflecting the real filming person in multiple false stories, the continuous appearance of the three female ghosts who disagree with the false and the real is buried, burying a lot of comedy points.
Interestingly, the whole movie incorporates a lot of Chinese thriller elements, both a sense of atmosphere, coupled with a female ghost who pops up at an unknown time, and strange music. At the same time, it is very ridiculous, because you know that it is fake, but you still can't help but be afraid, so in the cinema, laughter and screams are together, and the plot shuttles back and forth between funny and thriller, this movie-watching experience is very peculiar.
Then, what impressed me the most was the two reversals in the film, the director let Concubine Lifei fake her death to stimulate Xiaoshan's acting skills and the leopard behind them let the monkey fake death to scare them, the former is the climax of the first half of the film, which made me so into the drama that I was shocked when the reverse was reversed, the latter although the plan was not successful, but the comedy component was very rich;
Finally, the thriller crew and self-media people began to cooperate in filming, and I also understood the true meaning of "Great Night":
In the face of powerlessness and anxiety in the middle of the night, fortunately a group of loyal companions will accompany you to spend an amazing night.

Fan Chengcheng, brought a big surprise to the pickpocket sister, the last time I watched his film work was "Door Lock", although there are not many shots but the expressiveness is okay, this time I saw some of his progress, and the efforts made for the role (actively gaining 30 pounds) can also be felt,
This time, Fan Chengcheng's screen image is very man. It has always been said that he also participated in movies, but when I watched it, I kept wondering which role he played, or checked the credits to get the number.
The image of the male idol after the screening is very different from the middle-aged male uncle in the play, which can be regarded as breaking the setting of the idol character, and the acting skills are also well integrated with other comedians, and there is no strong sense of dimensionality, compared to other actors are not inferior, I hope to continue to hone my acting skills, and the future can be expected.
Jiang Long, indeed as always, performed brilliantly, and as a loyal audience of "Annual Comedy Competition", he also saw his growth along the way.
In this movie, he is narcissistic, bent on being popular, delusional to be chased by fans, free crew male number, and also responded to his "ten years of dreaming in the entertainment industry" and Yixi's "You think of me as small" terrier, acting skills have no words, worthy of being a joy champion.
In the play within the play, the "hard concave" acting skills and "strength" acting skills are switched freely, and anyone who watches it has to say "absolute", among which the "tribute" Tom's tongue-flicking acting skills are even more laughing and I am looking for my head.
A good actor who works hard will always shine, and I am really happy for him.
Jiang Yi, only a few minutes in the film are normal dress, the rest are all cosplay "female ghost" Concubine Li, her voice is still dumb and almost unable to speak, and several times I saw it and I was anxious to shout for him.
He played the third brother of Sanbao Media, the monkey, because he was "busy", in the whole video they shot themselves, it was a ghost burden, creating a lot of jokes, but in the early stage, my impression of him was stupidly playing the role of the big wrongdoer, but when he was injured in the second half but insisted on completing the shooting, the character began to have an edge, and the third brother resisted the big brother in this matter, which was enough to show the brilliance of the little people.
Jiang Shimeng is not to mention, the "sewing anti-sewing king" in Yixi also played a large number of roles in the film.
A person who has the strength to have ideas after studying abroad but cannot be reused, seems to hold the "power" is actually the director's small follower, the executive director of the punching bag, the cute scene is not much, but very outstanding.
Other actors including Liang Long, Kong Lianshun, Xu Xinwen, etc., as well as actress Wang Zixuan, who is always a female ghost makeup, all performed remarkably.
The film far exceeded my expectations, it was a good viewing experience, people who worked hard must stick to it, maybe you will shine, right?
