For fans, the operation of the new wave of headlines is too powerful, and this time it has been launched: online free Spring Festival file!
Following "囧Mom", ByteDance and its today's headlines, vibrato, watermelon video, and fresh time launched 13 Spring Festival movies for free to watch.
Looking at this film list, we can find that it has almost gathered several popular comedies in recent years, and now the popular IP "Detective Chinatown", the pioneering work of the 囧 series "People on the Road", "Heart Flower Road Release", "Mermaid" and so on are all qualified domestic comedies.
The point is that these movies can all be watched for free, without membership, and there is no VVIP or VIP+ and other riotous operations, which is too friendly.
This time we mainly talk about, as the 2019 Spring Festival New Year film, the first time it was broadcast on a third-party platform:
Crazy Alien
Directed by Ning Hao and starring Huang Bo, Shen Teng, Matthew Morrison and Xu Zheng, the film was inspired by Liu Cixin's novel The Rural Teacher.
Following Ning Hao's well-received "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing", everyone can't help but look forward to the third movie of the "Crazy" series.
Therefore, the pre-sale box office of the film took the lead in breaking 100 million, and won the single-day box office champion on the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2019, and finally won 2.213 billion box office, which is the 15th film in the history of Chinese film to break the box office of 2 billion.
You think it's just a movie that wants to make you laugh?
It's not that simple.
To be precise, it staged an absurd comedy.
First of all, it's certainly a comedy.
Geng Hao, played by Huang Bo, and Da Fei, played by Shen Teng, they sang and sang and undoubtedly undertook the most laughs in the film.
Whether it is two people who are squashed by the regained power of the alien, preparing to quietly Mimi escape and being caught in the current embarrassment.
Huang Bo, who still called the policeman played by Lei Jiayin, came to the door, and was bluntly told by Shen Teng as a drunk chicken and duck.
Or tossed around by aliens, the two people are no longer the same, saying "Destroy, hurry" tired of not loving.
It can be said that one is Ning Hao's golden partner Huang Bo, the film emperor, and the other is Shen Teng, who has created countless explosive comedies, and the two people are acting together, invincible and wonderful!
In addition, there are many memes in the movie.
As Huang Bo said, "It's really nice to fly on the roof naked", ridiculing Peng Yuyan in "Evil Does Not Pressure justice".
Shen Teng said, "Those who commit crimes against my earth, although they will be punished from afar", and used the classic lines in "Wolf Warrior" to live.
In particular, the aliens wear energy rings on their heads, hold golden hoop sticks, punch after getting drunk, and finally fly on bicycles.
It also pays tribute to movies such as "Journey to the West", "Drunken Fist", "ET. Alien" and so on.
And the biggest Easter egg is that the alien's expression prototype is Actually Xu Zheng!
With an iron triangle like Huang Bo + Shen Teng + Xu Zheng, such a movie is absolutely funny.
Second, and most importantly, the film captures the essence of the absurd.
What is absurdity?
The absurd is a meaningless, contradictory, disorderly state that deconstructs everything, breaks the shackles of the everyday, and expresses the theme of tragedy in the form of light comedy.
Judging from the film's storyline, it is absurd.
Aliens establish diplomatic relations with C people, exchange gene balls in outer space, and make trouble because the aviators take selfies and make a tiktogram.
The brain is wide open and unreasonable.
Aliens wandered to the amusement city, and were played by Huang Bo and Shen Teng as "Congolese riot monkeys", and as a result, the black hoops were mainly anti-guests, and the two people were beaten to cry and cry.
Funny and full of banter.
Huang Bo let the monkey Huan Huan play the alien, scaring the people of country C into a stunned, and finally conquered the aliens with liquor, completing the establishment of diplomatic relations between the aliens and the earthlings.
Surprising and full of holes.
If you consider it with rationality, you are wrong.
The film is to challenge rationality, and more importantly, to attract people's thoughts under these irrationalities.
From the idea contained in the film, it is absurd.
The C people claimed to be the strongest country on earth, but they were tricked by the two Chinese grassroots, and finally even Captain America's shield became a gong.
It's to punch you in the face of those who "have a rounder foreign moon"!
Aliens think that they are high-level creatures, but they did not expect to fall into the folk and become monkeys, and the sentence "all in the wine" was bought off before the ice release.
Chinese localization cattle breaker!
"You violent garbage, have you ever thought about how the monkeys feel?"
It is between the aliens - C countrymen - monkeys and wine sellers - monkeys, the chain of contempt is constantly reversed and reciprocated, subverting the three, six, nine and so on to show you.
In the end, Huang Bo, the "stinky monkey" in the mouth of the boss, relied on his own wisdom to subdue the aliens, and what was the end he got?
The liquor that Huang Bo and Shen Teng partnered with is exported to the whole universe, and it looks like the scenery is infinite, but in fact, the big boss Xu Zheng does not even bother to shake his hand.
What about the craftsmanship of the monkey play, which he called the essence of the country?
Still in decline.
After a series of absurdities, Huang Bo is faced with the real world that still divides people into three, sixes, and nines.
There is endless bitterness in laughter, which is really an absurd comedy!
Huang Bo, who returns to reality, is still the "stinky monkey" who adheres to the tradition, and he still cannot integrate into the sleek and sophisticated world represented by Shen Teng.
So, is the previous subversion and creation meaningless?
No, behind the absurd fantasy we see the infinite possibilities and vitality of China's localization.
Whether it is monkey playing, golden gun lock throat, wine table culture, these things can only happen in China, it is a culture and way of life with Chinese characteristics.
As Ning Hao said:
"I think it's my best film, the most movie-like movie in my work. It has a very special cultural expression, talks about some deep issues, talks about a lot of things behind culture and nationality. ”
It needs to be discovered by filmmakers, and it also needs to be discovered and cherished by each of our audiences.
Maybe a year later, when we revisit it, abandon the so-called "reasonableness" bias, and have more calm and thinking, you will find many surprises.
Stayed at home for a long time, right?
Crazy Aliens, it looks!
