It is unbelievable that a film that lacks sincerity and has no sense of beauty should earn more than 200 million yuan at the box office during the unpopular period before the Spring Festival, which is really shocking. Director and screenwriter Li Kelong's previous more than 30 films have all received a bad reputation and a dismal box office; The actor Bao Bell has always regarded himself as a professional in bad films, and his performance is exaggerated, which can be called a cancer in the industry; And the heroine Clara, although she has a beautiful appearance, lacks acting skills. Under the premise that the combination of good directors and good actors is known as a strong combination, what kind of chemical reaction will the combination of bad directors and bad actors burst out? The answer can only be that it stinks.

The story mainly revolves around the male protagonist Chen Zhong due to career troughs and emotional setbacks, instigated by his friend Da Rui, and planned a fake marriage to cheat red envelopes. This episode seems familiar because it captures the common phenomenon of young people in real society who are under heavy financial pressure and use humor. However, ideas are ideas, actions are completely unusual, ordinary people will not really be so bored and use this way to recover the money they once gave away, but this movie dares to use this as the theme, which is not only called in line with the times, but also the ultimate performance of fooling.

However, the film always carries out inexplicable nonsense in this weird background. At the beginning, the frustrated Chen Zhong found the heroine Bai Qing, a "Bai Fumei" who was obsessed with acting, as his fake marriage partner. However, despite Bai Qing's poor acting skills, she adhered to her principles and demanded professionalism, and in order to win her trust, Chen Zhong even used making movies as bait to lure Bai Qing into being fooled and agree to a fake marriage. The film shows disrespect for women all the time, portraying Bai Qing as a stupid and gullible character. In order to highlight the contrast, the movie does not hesitate to add various labels, young and beautiful, sexy body, simple and kind, rich family, and British-Chinese background, which is simply the "white moonlight" in the minds of men. However, such a versatile woman is willing to be manipulated by Chen Zhong to engage in various immoral acts in the name of making movies, and then call it art, which not only insults the characters themselves, but also insults the female community.

Although Du Ying, the ex-girlfriend in the film, did not explain the reason for the breakup, it seems that there is no third party, and the two broke up because of personality incompatibility. However, in order to fight for the so-called man's dignity, Chen Zhong did not hesitate to frame the other party and humiliate Du Ying with cynicism. Throughout the story, Du Ying did not make a mistake, but the screenwriter treated her in a ruthless way, which made the audience feel unbearable. The whole movie seems to have no respect for women, which is disgusting.

In addition, the movie adds a large number of side plots and characters to add drama. For example, the gag of Chen Chong's boss Qian Zong, and the sudden appearance of Bai Qing's parents, although they create some dramatic conflicts and laughs, they seem to be insignificant tools, seem to exist only to delay time, and lack the rationality and extension of the plot.

One of the most outrageous plots in the movie is that Chen Zhong and Da Rui play producers and directors respectively and participate in the actor audition. The plot is full of irrationalities, no one doubts their identity, the two do not show any professionalism, the script level is rudimentary, almost to the level of a primary school student, even a three-year-old child can't watch it, but all this is vividly presented in the movie.

In terms of acting, all the supporting actors work too hard, for fear that the audience will not know that they are acting, full of exaggerated body movements, more exaggerated than stage plays. Baubert is as funny as ever, and although Clara has outstanding appearance, she does not excel in acting. In addition, the film portrays all the characters into mentally retarded people who have no ability to think independently and only blindly follow, perhaps the original intention of the creators was to highlight the ability and difference of the protagonist Chen Zhong, but the result was a view

The crowd's disgust for the protagonist Chen Chong. The character seems obscene and hypocritical throughout, and the audience cannot develop a good impression of him, and it is difficult to affirm anything he does.

At the same time, the film seems very blunt when dealing with plot turns, and seems to lack reasonable logic to smoothly advance the plot. Chen Chong's "one shot to the end" has become a fixed routine of the movie, regardless of the plot, it is always applied mechanically, and this simple copy-and-paste method is disgusting.

The laughs in the movie are awkward and vulgar, nothing new, full of sketch-like flavor. The climax part inserts the sensational bridge of treating the mother's illness and having to fake marriage to cheat red envelopes, which is almost a copy of the common shortcomings of the sketch, forcibly sensational, but there is no logic at all.

Even more intolerable is that there are serious problems with the values in the film. Chen Zhong not only received a large number of red envelopes through a fake marriage, but also married Bai Qing home because of a kiss at the wedding scene, and even if the truth was exposed, the company did not take any punishment measures against him. This output of values seems to mislead the audience, as long as there is a so-called valid reason, you can ignore the bottom line of morality, and do not care about hurting others, which is the most intolerable thing about this film.

Overall, although the film has achieved some success at the box office, its content and plot are full of low-grade fun, sexism and confusion of values. It is difficult for the audience to find points that resonate with it, and the character's performance is also offensive. As a film, it lacks sincerity, innovation and depth, and only blindly pursues laughter and box office, ignoring the essence of film art. It is hoped that future film creation can pay more attention to quality and thinking, not just the pursuit of commercial interests.
