The Chopstick Brothers lit the "fire" in countless squares with a song "Little Apple", which is still quite influential today.
But then due to the different directions of development, the two works gradually decreased, and even rumors of dissolution were rumored.
In recent years, Xiao Yang has devoted himself to filming, and has performed brilliantly in movies such as "Tang Detective", "Manslaughter", and "Surging Crowds".
Last year, he was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor with "Manslaughter", and his acting career gradually flourished.
Wang Taili continued to be his musician, but more often turned to the background, and the different development directions have also made the pair less cooperative in recent years.
Although the chopsticks are single, the brotherhood is still the same, and the chopsticks brothers are still supporting each other.
When Wang Taili's daughter Wang Wanchen participated in the women's group draft, Xiao Yang disguised himself as Uncle Chopsticks to play CALL for him. When Xiao Yang's "Surging Crowds" was released, Wang Taili also crossed the knife in time and joined hands with Xiao Yang to release the film promotional song.
Recently, Wang Taili has rarely produced a personal film work, and his brother Xiao Yang has also forwarded support.
This work is the "Fake Big Bodyguard" starring Wang Taili and Liu Yan.
The film ranked in the top five of the cat-eye heat list for a few days after it was launched, and on the fifth day, it rose to the second position, which shows that the appeal of the two leading actors is still good.
The film also invited Jiang Chao, Yin Xiaotian and others to make cameos, among which Yin Xiaotian played himself.
The title summarizes the general plot and tells the story of three fake bodyguards, including Wang Taili and Liu Yan.
The story is set in a country called Mumba, where tour guide Wang Wenzhong (Wang Taili) and his seven-year-old girlfriend Ye Mingzhu (Liu Yan) and his brother attract tourists.
They trick tourists into spending money in various ways, a tried and tested method.
On this day, Wang Wenzhong mistakenly hit a tourist named Professor Chen, who originally thought that the other party was only here for tourism, but in fact, Chen came with a scientific research purpose.
Professor Chen's "super brain" can make paralyzed people stand and walk, and he was invited by Prince Memba to discuss cooperation.
At the same time, Professor Chen was also hunted down and killed by Zhang Peida, a businessman who coveted "super brain".
Under the wrong circumstances, Professor Chen mistakenly thought that Wang Wenzhong and the three were bodyguards to protect themselves, and under the temptation of huge commissions, Wang Wenzhong and others decided to make mistakes.
Their group was repeatedly hunted down and killed by the killers sent by Zhang Peida, but under the addition of their various luck, the killers failed to succeed.
The prince's side of the purpose of asking for "super brain" is not simple, coupled with the fact that the other party is a person who hastily killed people, Professor Chen's cooperation has hesitating.
At the end of the film, the villain Zhang Peida found Professor Chen and his party and grabbed Ye Mingzhu as a blackmail.
The arrest of his girlfriend made the usually timid Wang Wenzhong erupt, and he grabbed Professor Chen's super brain device is a dai, which has changed the ending.
Although the film's online broadcast is not small, it has not been spared in the hardest hit area of the low score of the net, and the current rating is only 4 points.
Looking at the whole film, it actually has highlights, but the shortcomings are also very obvious.
First of all, the plus points that support the film to get 4 points, the performance of the two leading actors is still outstanding.
Wang Taili's performance in the film is full of joy, he plays a small tour guide Wang Wenzhong who makes a living by pit abduction, and he constantly gags and jokes in the film, showing the characteristics of poor mouth small people.
Wang Taili has long experience in performing comedy roles, and in 2007, he was impressed by his geisha appearance in "Memoirs of a Male Geisha" with Xiao Yang.
In this film, the Wang Wenzhong he plays is not "unstable" at all, he reflects the character through various body movements, and the comedy rhythm is well grasped.
For example, in order to rescue his girlfriend, he pretends to be close to the villain, and this "small fist punches your chest" hammers very angrily.
After being exposed by the villain, he was beaten all over the body and gave the other party a brain break, and there was a little more funny in the tense atmosphere.
Wang Wenzhong put on the "super brain" device for a time the action was out of control, and the various awkward dances of the space step also made people can't help but be funny.
Then there is Liu Yan, who is still in good shape, this former otaku goddess is now 41 years old, but she is actually very well maintained.
In recent years, Liu Yan has been seeking breakthroughs in acting, and the "Beneficiary" cooperated with Dapeng has allowed the outside world to see the glowing side of her acting skills.
In "Counterfeit Bodyguard", the heroine Ye Mingzhu she plays is a role of outer rigidity and inner softness.
With a spicy appearance, she drove a car and broke out of "road rage" at any time, crazy and racing with the owner of the car next to her; and for the male protagonist to be stable, she was also a fierce and fierce.
Inside, she also shows the side of a small woman, and when faced with life and death decisions, her eyes will be red with fear for her boyfriend, and her feelings for her boyfriend at key moments are overflowing.
For a long time in the film, Liu Yan appeared as a "female agent" in a red dress.
What makes people curious is that Liu Yan obviously has a good strength, and his performance in this film is also good, but he does not know why he still wants to show his body as the main point of his career.
He did not hesitate to show his good figure in this red dress, and generously showed his career line in the film, which was sexy and eye-catching.
One of the clips that has aroused the most heated discussion among netizens is the clip of Liu Yan smashing the killer with a pan, which is both sexy and beautiful, but also spicy and domineering.
In addition to the starring role, some of the comedy jokes in the film also make people laugh.
The killer who assassinated Professor Chen put a small bomb into the hot pot, but he pretended to be a takeaway brother and happened to encounter a quarrel between Wang Wenzhong's lovers and was pulled to judge and not let him go.
Seeing that it was time for the bomb, the killer had to reach into the hot pot and press the bomb off...
Although businessman Zhang Peida is a villain, his expression and lines are very funny.
When he kidnapped Ye Mingzhu to blackmail Wang Wenzhong, the other party could not remember things because of the overload of the "super brain", causing his threat to be useless.
At this time, the performance of the "kidnapper" Zhang Peida was not so much to threaten as to ask for forgiveness.
The prince fiercely wants the super brain technology, but the secret behind it not only makes him difficult to say anything, but also makes the outside world can't help but be funny.
Although these laugh points are suspected of routine, under the actor's comedic performance, these laugh points are not embarrassing.
The above factors are one of the few "pluses" of the film, and the following factors are the reasons why it only has 4 points.
First of all, the image of the person can not be established, especially the supporting role has become the hardest hit area.
For example, the villain killer in the film, at first he came to assassinate Professor Chen with the title of "the world's first killer", and his employer was the businessman Zhang Peida.
Before each move, he will come to a boring line "Goodbye, Professor Chen", each assassination is stopped by the protagonist Tuan Yin and Yang, and the first killer who has repeatedly failed is "demoted" in the film.
Then his IQ dropped more seriously, at the end of the film Zhang Peida surrounded the protagonist and his party, seeing that the villain was about to win, the killer actually jumped out to "save" the protagonist, and the reason why he pit his teammates was also strange:
My people can only be killed by myself.
To this end, he did not hesitate to fight with his employer for life and death, and he did not want any money for the sake of principle, which made people "out of wisdom".
On the square side, Professor Chen's human design could not stand, and at the beginning he shouted that the creation of the super brain was for all mankind, and refused Zhang Peida's commercial request.
However, on the way to Mumba, the prince was killed, and despite his doubts, he chose to cooperate with the prince, and Wei Guangzheng's people had a point collapse.
The second is the forced creation of coincidences, most obviously in the prince's life and death test of the protagonist.
The prince discovers that the three protagonists are fake bodyguards, and in order to confirm his suspicions, he asks the other party to show his hands in front of him.
The heroine's brother is asked to hack into the palace system, the younger brother is forced to take the game console to pretend, and it looks like it is about to be exposed, at the same time, the killer invades the network system to come to The Shore Dragon assists...
Wang Taili was asked to fight Against Hercules, and he saw that he could not fight. At this time, the killer accidentally pulled the trigger while fighting with the guards on the other side's tall building, and hit The Hercules right. 、
As a result, Wang Taili won with a confused face...
All kinds of illogical bridge design make the protagonist's aura infinitely strengthened, and this coincidence is too forced.
The final ending is a direct collapse, the beginning was originally a witty line of comedy, and the end of the film became a sci-fi dog blood romance film.
In order to save his girlfriend, Wang Taili put on the super brain and became a "super brain man" with explosive combat strength, surrounded by killers, he destroyed the other party with a pick N.
This is not only that, but also joined the dog blood emotional routine, the male protagonist in order to save the female protagonist amnesia, the female protagonist moved by the male protagonist and chose not to abandon.
This kind of TV drama routine from more than ten years ago is still being used, which really makes people a little dramatic.
Overall, the root cause of the film's low score lies in the script.
When I opened the name of the screenwriter, it was impressively written "Wang Taili provides original stories".
As the main actor of this film, Wang Taili's comedic performance in the film is worthy of recognition.
But on the other hand, as a screenwriter, his loss of control over the logical treatment of the script has also directly led to a decline in the perception of the film.
"Fake Big Bodyguard" has no plot to rely on the sky and laugh points, the score directly collapsed, and eventually became another low-scoring film in the torrent of the Internet.
Also a comedy network, the film is reminiscent of "Diary of a Fortune" launched this year and starring Song Xiaobao Shayi.
The plot logic of "Diary of Fortune" under the director of Song Xiaobao is coherent, and there are no exaggerated plot sections.
Although Song Xiaobao is a newcomer director, he has at least told a story well, and the rating also proves the quality of the film.
In contrast, "Fake Big Bodyguard", under the logic of blood collapse, made the whole film a farce, and the starring performance ultimately failed to save the score.
In recent years, due to the short preparation cycle and fast launch time of Wangda Movies, many stars have participated, and The net big account has also become a new profit model for the filmmakers.
From Song Xiaobao's "Fortune Diary" that was released three years ago to Wang Taili's "Fake Big Bodyguard", this proves that Wang Da is not a place to make quick money.
It is fundamental that actors have acting skills, but a good script is also extremely important, which is also the essential difference between the ratings of the two films.
Back to the main creator itself, Wang Taili has rarely appeared behind the scenes in recent years, and this time he has been involved in the film industry for a long time to bring freshness, but the effect of this attempt is not ideal.
Although his comedy appearance is remarkable, and Liu Yan's style is also quite eye-catching, the film is not surprising in the end.
Compared with Xiao Yang's prosperity in today's acting field, Wang Taili has suffered a fiasco on the Internet, and the pair of chopstick brothers have obviously won or lost in the film world, and Wang Taili really needs to learn from his brothers.
