When it comes to comedy movies, the three words of Zhou Xingchi are inseparable.
Although he has retreated behind the scenes because of his age, he has influenced a batch of comedians in this floating entertainment circle.
However, because the postmodernism of "nonsense" is too novel and ostentatious, many old-school artists and audiences who follow classical aesthetics do not appreciate it, and even resent it, so Zhou's comedy also has a very distinct two-sidedness, and his body is also controversial.
People who like it regard it as a treasure, and people who hate it sneer at it.
For example, Lu Zhengyu.
Coming from the grassroots, he regards Stephen Chow as his goal in life, and whether it is the concept of interpretation of comedy or the way of performance, he steps on the shadow of Stephen Chow.
But there are also those who have publicly expressed their dislike of this comedy.
For example, on a certain performance variety show last year, Xu Juncong and Jiang Chao re-enacted the passage of Stephen Chow's movie "Journey to the West to Descend the Devil", becoming the first work that was terminated before the show was broadcast.
And after Li Chengru, as the host, came on the stage, he couldn't hold back his desire to express his desire, and he began to satirize on the stage-
"I hope you raise your horizons, improve your art, don't always stare at the corners, the skirts, and don't stare at the nonsense performances that have become popular since the 80s."
This work is from the film directed by Stephen Chow, who is also a well-deserved spokesperson for "Nonsense", coupled with the previous alternative interpretation of Journey to the West, which has completely changed people's inherent impression of "Journey to the West".
Although Li Chengru did not name him, it is difficult not to think of Zhou Xingchi.
Moreover, Li Chengru has also ridiculed him by name many times in interviews.
Soon, Li Chengru's voice just dropped, and Xu Juncong, who was also a comedian, felt offended.
He did not care about Li Chengru's face as a changzun, and used "Zhou Xingchi is not a corner in my eyes" on the spot to regurgitate.
Li Chengru, knowing that he had exposed the problem of "fighting unprepared battles", immediately changed the topic and hastily ended the debate.
Although the debate did not reach a single result, Lee Sung-ru expressed his position, and Xu Juncong proved his identity as a loyal fan of Stephen Chow.
The program was launched in December last year, and once the controversy between the two people was launched, it caused a heated discussion among the majority of netizens. Hot searches keep coming.
Just when netizens were taking sides and arguing endlessly for both sides, a new film by Xu Juncong started.
- "Catch the Big Talk"
The movie "Big Talk God Catch" is a costume suspense comedy film starring Xu Juncong, Bao Bell, Bu Yu and Yu Yang.
The film was launched in December last year and went live on September 11 this year.
As a big online movie, the current response of the film is good, and it immediately airborne first in the heat list after it was launched, and today it has won the daily crown for 4 consecutive days.
But on the other hand, word of mouth is not the same.
Although the target audience of the film does not coincide with Douban, it is still a scene of bad reviews in the only comments, and it is a series of one-star brigades that open the page at will, and all kinds of derogatory voices are endless.
Not a good seat.
Last year, Xu Juncong's "Chinese Flying Man" suffered the same treatment, but Sheng focused on the positive energy of the small characters in the script, so the score was slowed down, resulting in a scene that was not so embarrassing.
And this year's "Big Talk God Catch" obviously does not have "positive energy" blessing, I am afraid that it will be very ugly after settling the total score.
The most uncomfortable thing is that the title of the film also carries the word "big words" of his idol Stephen Chow.
Let's start with the story:
As the name suggests, "Big Talk God Catch" tells the story of an ancient catcher.
In view of the low level of production, let's take him as a piece of history that has been overlooked, saying that at a certain gathering, the originally lively performance was disturbed by a female ghost.
The female ghost shouted grievances, which made people panic, and "Guo Xian", who was a fast catcher, took on the task of finding out the truth.
At first, they went to the method of specialized techniques to find a jianghu Daoist monk, but to no avail, they were cheated of 180 taels of silver.
Later, Guo Xian stumbled upon the fact that the female ghost was actually a strong man "Summer Worm" pretending to be a ghost.
The reason why he pretended to be a ghost was to put pressure on the government to find out the truth about the tragic death of his friend's wife.
At the same time that Guo Xian was investigating the case, the son of the great general on the other side was arrogant, and on the road, he rode a horse and bumped into Guo Xian, and without changing his face, he threw down the money bag and left, leaving a deep impression on Guo Xian.
The second half of the film is carried out in two story lines, on the one hand, Guo Xiancha's case, and on the other hand, it portrays the obscene life of the general's son, and the results are not unexpected.
The deceased served the gongzi before his death, and as a result, he was violated by the gongzi, and the county lieutenant, as a legal supervisor, not only did not uphold justice, but instead aided and abetted the abuse and wanted to calm the people, and finally the woman collapsed under the collapse of the humiliated mentality.
In the end, in order to flatter the prince, the county lieutenant and the housekeeper of the palace forged the scene to hide the sky and cross the sea, which led to a tragic case.
Small catch quick check big official.
It can be said that the plot of the film can almost be said to be an original package that was grabbed from the assembly line, and I had a lot of déjà vu in the process of watching.
For example, "Big" People, "Nine Pin Sesame Officer"... Even the audience who has just watched "Sweeping The Black Storm" can compare the characters one by one.
The deceased was Xu Yingzi, the catcher was Lin Hao, the prince was Sun Xing, and the county lieutenant who ate the black money was Hu Xiaowei.
Of course, it is also a good thing that the screenwriter has no ambition, and under the original template that has not been sculpted, the bugs of the film will be relatively reduced, and there is no wide range of thunderous plot points.
Moreover, the anti-climactic design of the film's ending is very interesting, and it is also eye-catching to kill the four parties with a supporting role that should have been sacrificed to the heavens.
But thinking about it, as the protagonist of the god hunt, the whole process of soy sauce, the final boss is also watched to be slaughtered, it is true that some passive and transparent, the protagonist is seriously out of focus.
Although the film advertises itself as a "suspense class", the direction of the plot is all accurately stepped on the audience's expectations, and the protagonist has no role in promoting, and the so-called "god catch" and "suspense" parts are directly judged.
Of course, you may have to say: a comedy network is big, not thunder people on the line, what else do you want?
But the point is: it's not funny either.
The baggage design of the movie is copied from the stage, all of which are ugly, emotional contrast, eyebrow squeezing level, the characters are as loud as chicken blood, after watching this movie, I feel that I have watched a super long sketch.
It is still the kind that is broadcast on local stations on weekends.
Especially Bao Bell, as a costume play also appeared bald, the expression is contrived, the action is exaggerated, his image is already contrary enough as soon as it comes out, and it is also deliberately smacking the mouth to install a large tongue accent.
Big Brother, is your comedic philosophy about challenging the physical limits of the audience?
Fortunately, he only made a cameo, otherwise the delivery man would not have earned my delivery fee tonight.
The baggage design is poor, the intensity of laughter is also low, if this is also called a comedy movie, then the Spring Festival Gala is the first to stand up and disagree.
Who could have imagined that in a movie where professional comedians get together, the funniest thing is the invited Internet celebrity "Hua Zi Brother".
Compared with other people's head-breaking sketch performance method, Hanako's three-plate axe is more natural and smooth, standing out among a group of professional comedians, and I don't know whether it is the victory of Internet celebrities or the sadness of comedians.
And that's not all.
A "comedy suspense" movie, neither "comedy" nor "suspense", the most uncomfortable is the "tribute" to Stephen Chow.
As mentioned above, the earliest information about the film was on December 3 last year, the original title of the film was "Violent God Hunting", and 9 days later, the variety show of Li Chengru and Xu Juncong was launched, which immediately caused netizens to heat up, causing a strong heat for a time.
Then the film disappeared.
Then, after the film was produced this year and entered the publicity stage, some people found:
I even changed my name.
The renamed name is the current "Big Talk God Catch", the meaning of the word "Big Talk" is self-evident to the star fans, and the font in the poster is also a wonderful combination of hot gold + brush, which coincides with Zhou Xingchi's previous Journey to the West series.
"Big talk" means "exaggerated facts, exaggerations, lies."
Zhou Xingchi used the name "big words" to show the deconstruction and subversion of "Journey to the West", you are a fast-catching story, the script does not have any surreal part, what is the meaning of your renaming big words?
You're going to say it's not rubbing, I don't believe it.
Moreover, there are also some baggage in the film that are very high with Zhou Xingchi' similarity, such as the second appearance of the jianghu Taoist Bao Bell, letting the apprentice bluff behind him, and then make his own trouble, like the classic appearance of the national teacher designed by Zhou Xingchi in "Journey to the West".
Even the rhythm point of coughing was retained.
There is also the sudden appearance of big moms when the two sides of the character are facing each other.
This element and usage almost became Stephen Chow's standard combination punch.
Of course, it can also be said that this is a tribute, after all, shortly after the movie started, Xu Juncong was immediately on the hot search because of "Zhou Xingchi", which is a good opportunity to show his position.
However, after the program was broadcast, the movie originally called "Violent Arrest" immediately changed its name, colliding with Zhou Xingchi's title, design, and baggage, and the final effect was presented in a mess.
This is not supporting idols.
This is touching porcelain.
