Preface
"Breakup Master", as Deng Chao's first comedy movie, has a box office of over 200 million, which can be regarded as a very successful movie.
However, the Douban score is only 5.2, and there are countless negative reviews, and it also won the 6th "Golden Broom Award", which is the most disappointing film.
Is this show really that bad?
Isn't there anything else besides dense baggage and love?
Breakup Master
The vast sea of people, the wind and rain, overlooking the city, there are countless men and women in every window of every building who are confused by feelings.
Being single is not a problem, only love has troubles, and breaking up is even more difficult, who can save thousands of infatuated men and women from fire and water?
Mei Yuangui, played by Deng Chao in the film, is a professional "breakup master", he has been in love 76 times, has been separated 77 times, understands the weaknesses of men and women in love, is committed to solving human emotional problems, and specializes in breaking up, separation, divorce and separation business for various couples and lovers.
The painless method he invented is not painful, not anesthetic, no sequelae, and will never recur once cured.
The first half of the film introduces several cases of Deng Chao's painless breakup.
The first: pretending to be the king of Mauritius and breaking up for Han Han.
In order to let Han Han's lover Xiao Zhuang take the initiative to break up, Deng Chao pretended to be the king of Mauritius and staged a drama of "heroes save beauty", so that Xiao Zhuang took the initiative to fall in love with him and fantasized about marrying the king as his wife.
After that, Xiaozhuang successfully rejected Han Han's feelings, drawing a perfect end to this "breakup".
Then Deng Chao transformed, from a king to a successful person, and successfully got rid of Xiaozhuang's entanglement.
Although the story line is simple, the laughter in the play is very dense, Deng Chao pretended to be the king, not only blackened all over his body, but also full of joy when the fake thick lips fell off.
And in order to cooperate with his performance, he invited many local residents as actors, but because Han Han refused to pay the final payment, he asked him to settle the bill for the group performance and wanted to run away, and was finally caught by the residents, beaten half to death, and then ejected his body and threw it into the sea in the way of "Angry Birds".
From these details, it is not difficult to see that the screenwriter is really attentive, every detail is a burden, and it is impossible not to laugh.
The second case: film and television star Sun Li.
Deng Chao seized the weakness of celebrities who were afraid of the media, and used the "beautiful man plan" to successfully solve the breakup problem of a couple.
The third case: a pregnant woman
Deng Chao tried his best to make the long-separated pregnant woman have fantasies about him, and then took the initiative to divorce her husband during pregnancy.
The fourth case: the anchor crown
Deng Chao pretended to be a "big milk baby", showing all the noisy characteristics of children, and let the anchor who was afraid of children take the initiative to break up.
The fifth case: helping Wu Jing break up
used the anchor's psychology of worshipping heroes to make a series of events to make Xie Nan take the initiative to break up.
The length of each case is not long, but the final result is good, making Deng Chao's title of "breakup master" well deserved.
Many people say that these cases are not related at all, and they are very far-fetched together, and the way Deng Chao's nonsensical drama is expressed is even more hollow and has no connotation.
But when we see this so-called "breakup master" washing his hands in the golden basin, he met the strongest breakup partner "Ye Xiaochun", you can understand the significance of the existence of the previous breakup cases.
Ye Xiaochun
"Ye Xiaochun" in the film is a small character played by Yang Mi, she lives alone in Beijing, solves three meals by herself, does not ask others for everything, and carries a mask with her.
Ye Xiaochun's greatest hope is to be able to obtain stable happiness and have a harbor to dock at when she is tired, so she works hard.
When she was helpless, she met Master Tang who had successfully learned from him, and since then she has infinite admiration for Master Tang, and she is fascinated by it, and she is even more obedient.
But after Master Tang enjoyed Ye Xiaochun's worship, he wanted to kick her away.
So I found the "breakup master" Deng Chao, which made Deng Chao a major challenge in his career.
The first time Deng Chao met Ye Xiaochun was when he was on a bus, Deng Chao pretended to be a migrant worker and had just returned home from working outside to take care of his sick mother.
Deng Chao used his miserable experience to gain Ye Xiaochun's sympathy and let Deng Chao get on the bus in advance.
After getting into the car, when the robbers pretended by Deng Chao's team were robbing Deng Chao's money, Ye Xiaochun once again stepped forward desperately, and at a critical moment, Deng Chao exerted his strength to drive away the robbers.
But he himself was injured and homeless, and finally succeeded in following Ye Xiaochun to her house.
The plot is developing step by step in the direction that Deng Chao expects.
For letting Ye Xiaochun break up, Deng Chao also wanted to use the effect of the drug, wanted Ye Xiaochun to empathize with him, and took the initiative to break up with the master.
It's a pity that the results have been wrong many times, and they failed to fix Ye Xiaochun, but made Deng Chao's team miserable.
In the end, Deng Chao, who had nothing to do, decided to go into battle in person, so that Ye Xiaochun really fell in love with him, and then proposed to break up with Master Tang.
As a result, Deng Chao began to work and live inseparably with Ye Xiaochun.
In the process of contact, Deng Chao found that Ye Xiaochun spared no effort to help Master Tang carry out his work, and Master Tang was not as good as he appeared.
So Deng Chao decided to help Ye Xiaochun and let her see Master Tang's hypocrisy.
In this process, Deng Chao discovered the sadness behind Ye Xiaochun's strength, and he fell in love with this strong girl.
And Ye Xiaochun also fell in love with Deng Chao, who spared no effort and had a true temperament.
After a series of twists and turns, Ye Xiaochun finally woke up, and at the press conference when Master Tang was preparing to go public, she exposed the hypocrisy of Chenggongxue and Master Tang's true face.
At the same time, she also knew Deng Chao's true identity, and then she disappeared from the public eye.
Even if Deng Chao searched hard, it was only a year later that he found Ye Xiaochun's place to live.
Just as the two staged a drama of reunion between bitter lovers for many years, Deng Chao begged bitterly, but Ye Xiaochun was unmoved, and when the two fell into a stalemate stage, the sixth child who was suddenly killed began to attack Deng Chao.
In the end, Deng Chao was stabbed multiple times and was dying, and Ye Xiaochun also cried into tears.
It wasn't until he heard Ye Xiaochun promise the relationship between the two that Deng Chao suddenly got up from the ground, tore off the bloody clothes and scars on his body, and danced happily.
Originally, Ye Xiaochun was very angry, but when everything around her changed: lights, fireworks, bands, and romantic words appeared, a smile appeared on her face.
I believe that when many viewers saw the ending, they also had the same feelings as Ye Xiaochun, thinking that it was a tragic script, who would have thought that there would be such a comedy ending.
Behind the bad reviews
"The Breakup Master" is adapted from the popular drama of the same name, which also gives the movie a good audience base.
This is where the film is good and bad for this reason.
Many people's "preconceived" concepts make the public unable to agree with many adaptations of movies, and they feel that there is nothing to be desired except for being funny.
There are a lot of funny points in this film, and it will make the audience laugh out loud once in almost a few minutes, but many people will not have a deep feeling after the movie is over, and they will not remember anything after laughing, which is also where the bad reviews of the movie lie.
Someone once said that "the core of comedy is tragedy", and only joy and sorrow will leave a deeper impression on the audience.
But I want to say that sometimes, a movie doesn't have to be brain-burning, and it's not a good movie if it's lighthearted and laughing.
Everyday life and work are boring enough, why can't we laugh easily and without thinking?
The movie has been on the air for many years, and when we watch it again, you can still laugh again, and I think that's the charm of a good movie.
