In the past two years, Xiao Yang has been mixed up in the show business circle.
First through the "Tang Detective" series, he established his own comedy style, and then nominated the Golden Rooster Award for film emperor with "Manslaughter", and then played a rival role with Andy Lau in "CrowdEdoz".
Many people can't help but ask: Where did his good brother Wang Taili go?
Wang Taili does have few moves, but recently he also made a big online movie, which is also his first time in a film and television drama as the first male protagonist.
On March 26, the comedy "Fake Big Bodyguard" starring him and Liu Yan was released on the Internet, and 52-year-old Wang Taili and 41-year-old Liu Yan played a couple in the film.
In the poster, Liu Yan's body wrapped in a red tight skirt is bumpy and full of style; Wang Tailibai fell under the hem of her skirt, holding a double gun, with a surprised face.
The setting itself is very attractive, and the poster is also designed to be tempting, so as soon as the film was launched, it immediately landed on the first place in the platform heat list.
Although the data is good, there are two questions about this movie that cannot be avoided:
First, when Wang Taili without Xiao Yang meets Liu Yan without Dapeng, can the two of them support a movie?
Second, Wang Taili is both a starring actor and a director, and it seems that this movie does not mean much to him, but why does Xiao Yang not even show his face in the film?
Let's start with the movie itself, and simply put, "Fake Big Bodyguard" is a qualified online movie.
It is very clear about its own positioning, does not engage in big scenes, does not go to the theater as cannon fodder, and exerts its fists and feet in its own acres and three points of land.
The whole movie is very lively, and the eight words can be summarized: the funny, the dew.
The story of the film is very simple, Wang Taili and Liu Yan are a couple in the film, they plus their brother-in-law formed a tour guide trio, and they received a special guest on this day.
Professor Chen, who has mastered the super brain black technology, took their shuttle bus to attend the medical summit, and the nemesis sent killers to assassinate Professor Chen, and for high remuneration, the three tour guides transformed into fake bodyguards, and fought with the killer, interpreting a series of ridiculous stories.
Although the whole movie is absurd, it combines love, science fiction, blood, reversal, suspense and other elements that everyone likes to hear, and makes a large amount of affordable packages.
As a comedy, the comedy arrangement of this film is also OK, in which the three duels between the bodyguard squad and the killer are progressive, triggering hilarious scenes.
The first duel: The paralyzed patient disguised as a killer is electrocuted by Wang Taili, which is generally funny.
The second duel: the killer pretends to be a takeaway brother, hides the bomb in the hot pot, and can't get out, and finally tearfully defuses the bomb, making people laugh.
Third duel: The bodyguard squad and the killer play the Russian carousel, and the poor killer is toyed with between applause.
The final reversal of the film is also more bloody, Wang Taili is possessed by super brain black technology, and the brother-in-law manipulates the handle, helping him abuse the enemy.
Among them, Wang Taili did not forget to pay tribute to the idol again, and remembered MJ's space step.
At the end of the film, Wang Taili confessed to Liu Yan with deep feelings, and the background music was the song "Remember Me" he created, and the melodious melody was also very popular.
Of course, with the movie starring Liu Yan, it is self-evident what everyone expects.
This piece of Willow Rock is very boldly dressed, paste a picture, everyone feel it.
Therefore, this is a qualified network movie, if you are at home to have a good time, to relieve a boredom, it is still worth watching.
However, if you look at it by the standards of a theatrical movie, it is not very good.
The whole film is hilarious to watch, but it does not stand up to careful scrutiny.
It is reasonable to say that the 52-year-old Wang Taili and the 41-year-old Liu Yan group CP will have some sense of discord, but you can't feel it, because no character in the whole movie can stand.
For example, the tour guide does not have a little tour guide's dress, the professor does not have a little professor's appearance, and it feels like a few people are acting out a collection of paragraphs with a temporary identity, and they are not considering shaping characters at all.
Take Liu Yan as an example, in the movie "Beneficiary", she used a confession scene to shape a low-level girl, which was particularly touching. But in this film, she only needs to be responsible for beauty, have you ever seen a female driver of a van like this?
The characters can't stand, and the plot is even more flawed.
The killer pretended to be paralyzed, and a medical professor couldn't tell the difference.
The professor inexplicably got into a bond with the fake bodyguard and sang Zhou Huajian's "Friend" affectionately.
Wang Taili and Liu Yan's emotional drama did not have any sparks, but in the lines, they loved to death.
In the early stage of the film, the super brain black technology was rendered like a god, and the result was that it was a U disk-like thing at the end of the film, and what was even more speechless was that because Wang Taili lacked memory, he wanted to delete his memory.
Please, now the capacity of the USB disk is dozens of G, and the human brain is not enough memory.
What was even more speechless was that all the memories that Wang Taili wanted to delete were all memories of Liu Yan.
In addition to the plot, the lines are also a patchwork of buzzwords.
Huang Xiaoming's line "Don't you feel, I want me to feel" was used directly.
In "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Chang Yuan's line "See people are really accurate" is directly used.
The internet earthy love story "This is the jiangshan that you have laid down" is directly used.
These buzzwords make the movie character say it without changing, which makes people immediately appear on the scene, and it is difficult for the audience to enter the role.
So to use a talk show paragraph to describe the perception of "Fake Big Bodyguard" is:
You buy a copy of the "Qingming River Map" from the stall, and at first glance there is a nose and an eye.
But you can't look closely, because if you look closely, you'll see that the painting was painted in pencil.
You can't taste the content, because if you look at it a little bit, this "Map of the Upper River of the Qingming Dynasty" originally painted a traffic jam in Beijing.
If you want to watch this movie, I recommend that you open your mind and follow the silly music for 90 minutes, and then forget that you have seen this movie, which is the most correct viewing position of this movie.
After talking about the movie itself, let's look at what happened behind the scenes of the movie and answer the second question at the beginning of the article.
It is reasonable to say that Wang Taili is not retreating behind the scenes, how to toss up the movie again, but also a low-cost network movie, which at least shows that Wang Taili is not as indifferent to fame and fortune as said on the Internet, and he also has some fame or economic pursuits.
Of course, this is not to blame, but through this movie, we can still see the "chopstick brothers" who were once stronger than Jin, and now the relationship is becoming more and more confusing.
In addition to starring in this film, Wang Taili is also the supervising producer in the film, and the theme song is also written by him, which can be regarded as his painstaking work.
However, as a good brother, Xiao Yang did not even have a cameo shot. Where the hell has he been?
Looking back at Xiao Yang's fame history, or the fame history of the "Chopstick Brothers", Wang Taili actually contributed to it.
In 2009, Michael Jackson died, and Wang, as his die-hard fan, wanted to make something for his idol.
He pulled his good brother Xiao Yang to form the Chopstick Brothers and filmed the short film "Old Boy", and as a result, the song of the same name became popular all over the country.
"Time is like a rushing river, and it is too late to say goodbye when it is gone."
This heartfelt lyric hit the hearts of many people, and this song has also become a youth memory of the post-90s.
Later, after the death of Wang Taili's father, Wang Taili wrote the song "Father" in honor of his father, and Wang Taili personally took over the songwriting, and this song was once again popular throughout the country.
"Time slow down, don't let you get old again", this affectionate lament makes people listen to tears.
In 2015, Wang Taili composed lyrics and music, and the "Little Apple" sung by the two brothers became a square dance divine song, the elderly and children would hum a few words, and the career of the chopstick brothers also came to the peak.
However, the strange thing is that after Xiao Yang smoothly transformed into an actor, Wang Taili almost disappeared from the public eye.
There is a saying that the two people's life plans are different, although they are known as chopstick brothers, but Wang Taili is born in 69 years, Xiao Yang is born in 80 years, the two are 11 years apart, and Wang Taili is Xiao Yang's boss when he debuts.
When "Little Apple" exploded, Xiao Yang was the year of the fight, he was a nortel graduate, his dream was to be an actor, singing was just his springboard, so after that he transformed into an actor, and every step was very solid.
Wang Taili was 46 years old at the time, he himself was behind the scenes, he loved to toss when he was young, which disappointed his father, and when his father died, he warned him to pursue a stable life, so after "Little Apple", he lived a semi-retired life, occasionally appearing to earn some pocket money.
Last year, his daughter participated in the second season of "Youth with You" and became an idol trainee, Wang Taili's main business has now become a daughter, and at the end of last year, he also took her daughter to sing the theme song of the Russian war film "T34" Chinese "Katyusha".
It seems to make sense that two once like-minded people are drifting apart because of different ideas and age differences.
But this does not explain why Wang Taili starred in the movie for the first time as the male number one, but Xiao Yang did not even show his face.
Some people may say that Xiao Yang is now out of time and can't squeeze out time.
But in the film, Jiang Chao and Yin Xiaotian have guest appearances, and Jiang Chao is a cameo in the form of a video, Xiao Yang can do a similar cameo, he and Wang Taili are brothers for more than 20 years, this help can not help, the only explanation is that the two have become strangers.
On March 26, Wang Taili and Liu Yan called for the film on their respective homepages, Xiao Yang did not have any interaction, and the dynamics sent in the past week were only promoting the new film "My Sister" starring him.
Wang Taili's personal account authentication has only one title: a member of the Chopsticks Brothers.
And Xiao Yang's certification has several titles, among which the chopstick brothers members have been put to the end, and now he wants to dilute the label of chopsticks brothers.
In short, "The Fake Big Bodyguard" is a lively comedy at a shallow point; deeper, it reveals the reality of the chopstick brothers falling apart.
The transformation of the two from familiar to unfamiliar, I am afraid that only the parties concerned are clear in their hearts.
