There is a May Day movie, which was officially released for only five days, and it was announced that it would be withdrawn as soon as the holiday was over, and then it landed on the streaming platform.
This is the once highly anticipated absurd suspense comedy "There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot" directed by Ding Sheng.
This theatrical film admitted its own failure in the most direct way of withdrawing and switching to online broadcasting.

To put it simply, this movie is a hot pot that eats from beginning to end but gets worse and worse, with four or five actors in two or three fixed scenes holding their own scripts and squeezing the toothpaste to tell the story, and finally making a character who is identified as a "bad guy" crazy and delirious, and cooperating with everyone to complete the bad slogan.
Every character in the film has a hidden secret, and he is willing to tell the truth little by little until it arouses the suspicion and suspicion of others.
For example, Uncle Jiu Cake didn't bribe Director Fu at all, he just gave him a parallel goods watch.
Sister Ji Ji has always maintained a lover relationship with Director Fu, and she is also the "real murderer" who stunned Director Fu and stuffed it into the suitcase.
Brother Facai turned out to be Director Fu's brother-in-law, and he was imprisoned for three years for carrying a drunken collision case for his brother-in-law.
What's even more outrageous is that Brother Qiwan happened to be Director Fu's illegitimate son, and his mother was also injured by Director Fu's drunkenness.
These hidden situations, which are extremely important to the progress of the story, appear forcibly without foreshadowing, which seems to be logically self-justifying, but in fact they are overtly playing tricks and misleading the audience.
Linking everyone to Director Fu and forcibly creating drama and conflict makes the film more like a script killing game or a sitcom stage play.

Although the film is an absurd comedy, the plot gradually moves from absurdity to nonsense.
The first is that the motivation of the characters does not stand at all.
How could the nine cylinders get to Director Fu and add a toilet to deduce that he hid the money from corruption and bribery in the compartment of the toilet?
If Jiuguan really wants to steal the stolen money from Director Fu's family, why don't you find some acquaintances and trustworthy people, why do you have to guess dumb riddles in some inexplicable community group, waiting for the "willing person to take the bait"?
In other words, the origin of the whole story, the motive of the mahjong foursome to steal bribes and stolen money is simply unreliable and untrustworthy.
Although, it can be used that the other three people want to make a windfall as one of the reasons why they take the initiative to "take the bait", but such a child's play design still can't stand scrutiny and careful consideration.
Secondly, there are no surprises in the story, and there are reasonable twists, only large sections of character dialogue and memory fragments.
The film also uses a lot of surround shots, which go around the hot pot surrounded by five people, which is dizzying.
This makes the already boring plot, like the script killing the characters and telling the story themselves, even more difficult to substitute and empathize with.
Originally, I thought that Director Fu could come to a Jedi counter-kill at the end, and directly come to four kills, so that the absurd and black complement each other.
But the film ended after everyone forgave Director Fu and kept his bottom line, which was a big disappointment.
The four of them were still thinking about dividing the spoils on the front foot, and the back foot began to prepare for the division of the corpse because Director Fu appeared in the suitcase, but this turn of events was a little absurd.
On the whole, the twisted characters and plot not only do not highlight any sense of suspense and tension, but also greatly reduce the effect of comedy, so that the audience does not know where to start laughing and why to laugh.
Finally, the film also forcibly gives value to the film in a way that is almost playing with the emotions of watching the movie and insulting the audience's IQ.
Jiuguan instantly broke the defense because of the chicken's sentence "You are greedy", and he had to buckle himself with the high hat of the ancestors' benevolence and morality, put on the shackles of traditional drama culture, and let himself be a good person.
It is understandable that the chicken has more or less true feelings for the director, but until the end of the film, this character has not grown and transformed, and has completely reduced to the role of a vase.
made a fortune because his sister called to inform him of his safety and decided to divorce Director Fu, so he no longer pursued his brother-in-law to blame himself, and he cheated in marriage and even had an illegitimate child.
The most ridiculous and surprising thing is still 70,000, I was thinking of finding a fortune and asking for my mother's treatment fee, but I found out that the real culprit who bumped into my mother turned out to be my own father, which is really ridiculous in the world and far from the world.
Finally, it is the familiar PPT ending, Director Fu was sentenced to 15 years and 5 years in prison for corruption and bribery, traffic accidents, and obstruction of testimony, and the mahjong team committed the crime of theft, but there was a meritorious performance of voluntary surrender and whistleblowing, and was sentenced to 3 years in prison and 4 years of probation.
During the probation period, the mahjong team opened a hot pot restaurant in the Nine Cakes Theater.
What kind of story does the film tell? Why did everyone suddenly wake up and find their original intention of being a man?
In order to let the mahjong foursome find their truth, goodness and beauty, they took Director Fu to play a game of truth or dare, everyone seemed to be for money, but in fact, they kept the bottom line of being a man.
It's really unbearable to have such an inexplicable movie with such a value.

The film is called "There is no hot pot that can't be solved", and the hot pot and Sichuan opera in the film are about to jump out, but in fact, the story content, theme value and character image of the film are not much directly related to hot pot and Sichuan opera.
In contrast, mahjong at least has the effect of giving each of the four people their own codes.
The hot pot in the film is replaced with Peking duck, Zibo barbecue, Tianshui Malatang, and Sichuan opera is replaced with Peking Opera, Yue Opera, and Huangmei Opera, as long as the local cuisine and local drama correspond to each other.
The film's presentation of hot pot is far inferior to that of "Hot Pot Heroes", and the presentation of Chongqing's regional characteristics and terroir culture is also far from "Crazy Stone".
To put it bluntly, this is a failed comedy movie with simple scenes, naïve plots, pale characters, no novelty, no suspense, playing absurdity into nonsense, and using hot pot as a tool for shabu shabu to play.
