Of course, large-budget films will be born to be handed down, but small-cost productions will also leave classic moments. Danny Ball's "28 Days of Shock," which danny Bauer directed 15 years ago, cost just $5 million, but it grossed more than $82 million. And domestic films also have such a small-cost movie, "Donkey Get Water", a film with only 10 million yuan investment, but it is very brilliant. The quality of the film is good, the audience naturally buys it, and the box office of 172 million is enough to explain everything.
The story takes place in 1942, at the height of the War of Resistance. A group of university teachers came to the poor and remote areas at high altitudes with dreams to open a primary school to contribute their youth to the education cause of the motherland.
<h1 class="ql-align-center" >, eat empty pay</h1>
The name of the school is very good, "Sanmin Primary School", "Sanmin" originated from the Three People's Principles that were widely promoted when the Kuomintang was in power. In the whole film, there is only a donkey named "Deshui", a teacher, a coppersmith couple, a commissioner of the Ministry of Education, a military police, and an American philanthropist, but there is never a service object of the school, the students, and this school can be described as not doing its job.
Although the school is not doing its job, the teachers inside always have to eat and get paid, and these 4 teachers also gave the donkey a name of "Lu Deshui" and a quota of English teachers.
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > second, to cope with superior inspection</h1>
One day, the commissioner of the Ministry of Education of the National Government came to inspect this "Lu Deshui" teacher. The 4 teachers could not sit still, afraid of revealing the filling, so they found a coppersmith to replace them. In order to make the coppersmith obey the arrangement, a female teacher named Zhang Yiman actually used the "pajamas" method to make the coppersmith obedient.
The commissioner came, and he had to listen to Lu Deshui's lecture. These 4 people first said that Teacher Lu had lost his voice and could not give a lecture, but the commissioner did not buy it, and there was no way but to drive the ducks to the shelves. Lu Deshui, who even spoke 4 simple Sentences of English, was not even seen, and even gave a lesson in his mother tongue, Mongolian, and the commissioner who claimed to have studied in The United Kingdom actually praised Lu Deshui as a good English speaker and a talent in the field of education.
Afterwards, the commissioner said that an American philanthropist was going to fund the teacher, and the monthly funding fee was 30,000 French dollars. The commissioner left happily, and the four of them happily divided up the monthly grant of 30,000 yuan, while the coppersmith Lu Deshui only got a few books and a small amount of money and was sent away.
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > three or two relationships</h1>
(i)
Zhang Yiman is the only female teacher in this school, singing gently, although her appearance is average, but she is very popular, and often jokes about other male teachers. A cheongsam outfit that splits to the thighs, a popular perm, exudes the unique sexiness of the Republic of China period.
Teacher Zhang is very casual and has had relationships with other male teachers in the school. In her own words, "It's not called debauchery, it's called freedom." The diminutive Pei Kuishan likes her, but Teacher Zhang does not buy it, she is just because of simple "loneliness".
So on the night that Teacher Zhang was a coppersmith in pajamas, Teacher Pei stood outside the window, looking at the undulating figure reflected on the paper window, silent for a long time, helpless.
(ii)
The coppersmith is a duty of Mongolian people, on the occasion of parting, for Teacher Zhang sang a love song in his native language, the love to the depths, Teacher Zhang was moved, cut off a handful of her most cherished head and sent it to the coppersmith as a souvenir. When he returned home, the coppersmith's behavior made his wife very confused, believing that there was a woman outside, so he went to the school to ask for advice.
The coppersmith's woman was an authentic rural woman, hot and strong. Teacher Zhang couldn't resist and could only admit it. The coppersmith prevents his wife from beating Teacher Zhang, but is humiliated by his wife in every way. The coppersmith was angry, and in order to protect his beloved woman, he was furious with his wife for the first time, and said that he wanted to stay and live with Teacher Zhang.
Teacher Zhang smiled contemptuously, who do you think you are? You think I've slept with you and just love you? You are just a fake Lu Deshui, a cattle, an animal.
livestock? The coppersmith felt the hair that was still slightly looped from his trouser pocket, shook it and threw it on the ground, and walked away without turning his head.
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > iv</h1>
Two months later, the school used the subsidy to buy new tables and stools, new teaching aids, electric lights, and a phonograph. Teacher Pei bought a mink coat, which was worn on her body despite the heat.
The commissioner came again, this time with the military police and the American philanthropist. There was only one purpose, or to investigate the teacher Lu Deshui.
At this moment, the group of teachers panicked again. They just gave Teacher Lu Deshui away, what can I do? So he said that Mr. Lu Deshui was on a business trip, but the American philanthropist said that he could wait until he returned from a business trip.
The confused crowd was called over by the commissioner, who first asked how much you received each month.
"Thirty thousand!" Principal Sun said.
"It's one hundred thousand!" The commissioner said, "When the Americans ask, you have to say that you get a monthly grant of 100,000 yuan. ”
Where are the seventy thousand in the middle? Everybody knows it. Then the commissioner said that no matter what, you would see Lu Deshui, and if you spoiled my good deeds, you would be finished.
< h1 class="ql-align-center" > the requirements of the coppersmith</h1>
Just when everyone was at a loss, the coppersmith returned. The coppersmith said, I don't care whether you give me a hundred thousand or thirty thousand, and whether I can get a penny myself, it doesn't matter. If I want to cooperate with you, there is only one condition, that is, to expel Teacher Zhang.
The Commissioner asked why?
"Because she scolded me!"
Under the mediation of the commissioner, the coppersmith promised to let everyone scold her. The first person to stand up was Principal Sun, who went through the motions.
The second is Teacher Pei. Teacher Pei did his best to say vicious words, bitches, public toilets, broken shoes all came into battle, shocking the world and crying ghosts. If you are not pulled by someone, you can still scold.
When the commissioner saw it, he scolded it like this. The coppersmith was not satisfied. To cut her hair.
Teacher Zhang is very good at cutting hair, and the coppersmith's hair is cut by her.
Principal Sun cut Teacher Zhang's hair, and with the music emitted by the phonograph, the strands of hair fell. Teacher Zhang's mind came up with the picture of them wearing handmade new school uniforms at school.
After the hair was cut, the wavy curls that were originally characteristic of the Republic of China turned into slightly messy hairs, and Teacher Zhang shouted at the mirror and slipped under the table.
For her, the body is just a tool, and hair is her only dignity. Dignity shattered, life is loveless.
Zhou Tienan couldn't bear to see Teacher Zhang's hair cut off, and he drank hard. The commissioner instructed the military police to shoot at Teacher Zhou.
Gunshots rang out, and Zhou Tienan fell to the ground in response. Fortunately, just scratch the scalp. The terrified Teacher Zhou knelt on the ground and hugged the boots of the military police, saying that he would never dare again, never dare again, and you should do whatever you want.
The reality is like this, what if you are unarmed?
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > wedding</h1>
The classroom was arranged as a spiritual hall, and the coppersmith lay in a coffin.
The philanthropist who recovered from altitude sickness came to the school and was told that Mr. Lu Deshui had fallen into the valley and died on the way home.
The philanthropist bowed to the body of the coppersmith, said that he would donate 10,000 US dollars as a condolence payment, and said that he could only donate to the relatives of Teacher Lu.
The commissioner was angry with Teacher Lu's file, because Teacher Lu in the file had no relatives and no reason, he was alone, and the money was going to go to waste.
You can get a fiancée out, so Principal Sun's daughter Jiajia has become the most suitable candidate.
Zhou Tienan, who has a good feeling for Jiajia, goes to persuade him, but Jiajia wants to write a whistleblower letter to report the commissioner. Zhou Tienan said, you are still a child, you are useless in doing this, they have guns, we have nothing, we can't fight at all. Moreover, the commissioner has fallen, and the school is finished, so what will we do later?
Jiajia insisted on going. The commissioner had no choice but to threaten his father's name, and Jiajia eventually compromised.
The philanthropist said he could grant Jiajia any request, his father said to send her to the United States, and the philanthropist said yes. I didn't think that the coppersmith who had been pretending to be dead heard about it, and he cheated the corpse and said that he was going to go too.
The philanthropist was confused, believing that it was completely impossible for people to come back from the dead, and that they had been deceived. After that, a group of Chinese took turns to explain to this foreigner the possibility of resurrection from the dead, and this foreigner actually believed it.
So Jiajia's fiancée will really become the coppersmith's wife. Everyone arranged the wedding hall for their own ideas. The band roared in unison, and the gift of ten thousand dollars was placed in the most prominent position. Jiajia was dressed in a wedding dress and was helped into the scene by the commissioner.
The philanthropist, as a witness, "Would you like to marry Lu Deshui?" ”
"I do."
At this time, Teacher Zhang sat in the auditorium, and the coppersmith's wife also rushed in, making a big fuss in the auditorium, and in the panic, Teacher Pei took away the DOLLAR, while the pistol of the military police was taken away by Teacher Zhang.
The wedding was not happy. Foreigner's inner monologue: Incredible, incredible China!
< h1 class= "ql-align-center" >7, the ending</h1>
The Commissioner was investigated, while Sanmin Primary School was not affected. Principal Sun, Teacher Pei and Teacher Zhou discussed the teaching work content of the next semester, but they did not see Teacher Zhang's figure.
"Bang!" Only a gunshot was heard. The camera turns to Mr. Zhang's room: adobe walls plastered with beautiful pictorials, dressers filled with cosmetics, and single beds covered with floral sheets neatly arranged with school uniforms that Mr. Zhang sewed for everyone.
Teacher Zhang loves beauty, and her beauty is forever frozen in the past. Women who survive in a traditional value society have no choice, no choice.
Jiajia wore a refreshing white dress, kept the Japanese head cut by Teacher Zhang, packed her luggage, got on a donkey cart, and embarked on the journey. Jiajia saw a strange suitcase and opened it, which was full of colored balls that Zhou Tienan had given her. The wheels pressed against a rock, bumps, and colored balls scattered down the hillside. Jiajia likes Zhou Tienan and likes the colored balls he sends, and these remain forever in the slopes of the plateau.
The donkey cart creaked and creaked. Although the road was rough, Jiajia still went to Yan'an to find her brother, which was a new world.
< h1 class="ql-align-center" > conclusion</h1>
"Donkey Kong Water" is not simply a comedy, the real difficulty of the film lies in how to make naked irony so natural, and the theme of comedy has become a good carrier. Although the whole film can smell irony everywhere from beginning to end, with absurdity and heartache, it is so natural and harmonious with the comedic atmosphere.
