The comedy film "Digging for Survival" has been officially released and broadcast on the online platform, and this movie is co-starring Wang Zhipeng, Yang Ziling, Hou Tongjiang, Zhong Qianyue, Chen Guokun, Xu Juncong, He Huachao, Zhu Jianran, and Niu Ben. The themes involved in "Digging for Survival" are relatively novel and grounded, mainly telling the story of unscrupulous developers maliciously inflating the sky-high price cemetery being rectified by rural guys.
The story synopsis of "Digging for Survival" is roughly as follows: the male protagonist Xiao Shan's mother has been seriously ill, in order to see his mother in these years he is in debt, as a designer he has worked in the company for five years and has not been regularized, but forced by economic pressure he still dare not resign, and finally one day his mother reached the point where he had to do surgery, Xiao Shan even borrowed or did not prepare enough for the operation fee, desperately he sold his mother's cemetery, did not expect to buy this cemetery price ten times many years ago! Seeing the business opportunity, Xiao Shan directly quit his job and began to frantically sell cemeteries to the elderly, but Xiao Shan's work was not going well, and after going to the nursing home to sell the cemetery and being beaten out, Xiao Shan accidentally got acquainted with the old naughty boy and talked about it, and the two were like-minded and partnered to open a cemetery intermediary company. After the business became bigger, Xiao Shan began to extend his business to the development of the cemetery, but Xiao Shan's company affected the interests of Diao Zong because of its rapid rise, Diao Zong's Xiao Xitian Group tried to monopolize all the local funeral industries, and Diao Zong also threatened the lives of Lao Tan and other entrepreneurial partners to force Xiao Shan to sell the developed cemetery to him, Xiao Shan and Lao Tan and others have since embarked on the road of the tycoon of the vicious fighting cemetery...
Look at this story synopsis is still quite ups and downs, but "Digging to Survive" is a complete comedy movie, the film's baggage is very dense and very funny, every few minutes there will be a paragraph, the laughter is really good, it can be seen that it is carefully designed, but the shortcomings of this movie are also very fatal, first of all, it is for the fun crazy imitation of classic clips, and then the climax part is handled too rough and far-fetched, which also leads to the "Digging for Survival" completely rotten, so many good baggage in front of it are also in vain!
First of all, let's talk about the problem of imitation, the film just began to imitate three classic movie clips in succession, Xiao Shan and his friends went to Xiao Xitian funeral company to steal ashes scenes like Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong in "Across the Sea"; Chen Guokun, who played Rose, danced the dance of the Axe Gang as soon as he appeared, which is very similar to the scene in "Kung Fu"; and then the scene of Xiao Shan and Rose confronting each other is also imitating the opponent scenes of Lei Jiayin, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng in "Heart Flower Road Release"; as for Xu Juncong, who starred in friendship, he has also been learning from "Let the Bullets Fly" The classic dialogue of Li Jiang Wen and Ge You! It's not that imitating classic fragments is not good, but the whole design is too deliberate and too insincere, if these imitations are removed, in fact, the laughter of "Digging for Survival" is still the same good.
Finally, there is the problem of script design, the introduction said that Diao Zong forced Xiao Shan to sell the developed cemetery to him with the threat of life of Lao Tan and other entrepreneurial partners, Xiao Shan and Lao Tan and others have since embarked on the road of the vicious fighting cemetery tycoon, which is logically feasible, but the film is inconsistent with the introduction, Xiao Shan used two million to acquire the land of his hometown to develop the cemetery, and later Diao Zong lied that the land was waste land and bought it from him with 3 million yuan, Xiao Shan and Diao Zong also signed a contract, but in the end, Xiao Shan and Diao Zong also signed a contract, but in the end, Lao Tan was unwilling to play a ghost and run to the construction site to make trouble! Old talk of making trouble was caught by Diao Zong, but Xiao Shan, who had already signed a contract, also went to the construction site with his partners, and the climax of "Digging for Survival" actually became a group of several bodyguards of Diao Zong to beat Xiao Shan, shouldn't it be to kidnap Lao Tan to force Xiao Shan to sign a contract? Now that you have signed your contract, what is the trouble?
Overall, there are still many problems with this movie, even if the front laughter is good, it can't change the ending of the bad end and imitation!
