Ju Wenpei, who has been absent for a long time, appeared in the Golden Rooster Award, remember that she and Fan Wei starred in "Departure on the Same Day", "Departure on the Same Day" should be the best domestic comedy after Ning Hao's crazy stone. However, after the film was released in the National Day file that year, the box office was not good, and finally only earned 6.66 million box office. Especially the combination of her and Fan Wei is very wonderful. Fan Wei belongs to the kind of middle-aged men, Yan La Bar; the heroine played by Ju Wenpei is a young and lively type, and the combination of the two people has produced a lot of funny laughs.

At the scene of the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony gala. Ju Wenpei won the Best Original Music Award.

Many viewers may not be familiar with Ju Wenpei. Over the years, Ju Wenpei has basically been doing behind-the-scenes work, for example, this award is to make original music for "Gutian Jun".

But my biggest impression of Ju Wenpei comes from the classic small-budget comedy "Departure Today" starring her and Fan Wei in 2008.

I've seen it 2 or 3 times, but it's still so funny.

<h1>"Departure on the Same Day" should be the best domestic comedy after Ning Hao's crazy stone. However, after the film was released in the National Day file that year, the box office was not good, and finally only earned 6.66 million box office. </h1>

This box office is estimated to be a loss, so director Liu Jiang and actress Ju Wenpei basically did not have the opportunity to make another movie later.

It's a pity to think about it now, because although this movie has many flaws, the overall laughter is still very strong, especially Fan Wei's several scenes, which are really funny. I think this is the best domestic comedy in the years after Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone". Of course, 2009's "Crazy Racing" and 2012's "Tai Chi" are better comedy films.

But in the period from 2003 to 2008, domestic comedies basically have few eye-catching works, and "The Day Goes" should be regarded as a general in the short.

Let me give you a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of this movie, and why it failed at the box office that year.

1. "Departure on the Same Day" as a comedy

What I admire most about "The Day Off" is that its comedic design is really thoughtful, and it doesn't make people feel embarrassed and thunderous when they look at it. It's not like those domestic third-rate comedies, which rely on and farts, rely on exaggerated movements and expressions to tickle you.

For example, even if wang Baoqiang's many performances in "Tai 囧" are actually this kind of low-level technique.

The whole movie of "Departure today" basically does not have this exaggerated expression, it relies on this scene design to create jokes, which is really advanced and very good.

The first shot of "Departure Today" can be seen in its comedic effect. It was a bathroom pool, a fat man with a backup tattoo was soaking in the bath, and then suddenly ran in 3 people, looking like they were looking for someone.

No one was found, 3 people left, the fat man continued to take a bath in peace, and then suddenly a person came out of the pool, which frightened the fat man a lot.

This begins with an interesting one.

The beginning of the movie also sets the tone of the whole movie, the specific plot I will not reveal much, anyway, the main laugh of this movie is in the chase scene, and various misunderstandings, all kinds of unexpected contrasts. Comedy, mainly this kind of routine, but the key is whether you can play something new.

Let's take an example, that is, after Fan Wei's clothes were gone in the movie, he was a small haircut, and the crew group head played by Liu Hua borrowed his costume, which was the uniform of the ancient headhunter, and the part where he met the police. It was also very funny, the police also said yo, this is a peer, another policeman said that this is a senior.

Right, this is also a joke made by scene design.

Of course, the key to "Departure on the Same Day" to become an excellent comedy is the actor, especially the lead actor Fan Wei, who is a bit similar to Ge You, belonging to the kind of cold and cold to tease you all of a sudden, belonging to the kind of bad and bad.

Fan Wei became famous as a sketch actor, and the most famous image is probably the "robbery" clip in "No Thief in the World".

It is this feeling, looking at the honest and honest, very thick, not bad. The role of "No Thief in the World" is too small, which affects Fan Wei's play.

In "Departure on the Same Day", Fan Wei is like a fish in the water, and he vividly expresses the appearance of an honest person who does not pull a few. A lot of laughter is hidden in Fan Wei's kind of nonsense.

Fan Wei played a middle-aged man lao Cui who did business abroad in the movie, his wife divorced him, he was preparing to fly abroad, and he met the drunken heroine on the road by taxi, Xiao Xia, played by Ju Wenpei. He kindly sent Xiao Xia home, and his clothes were spit dirty by the other party. Old Cui saw that the flight time was still early, so he washed clothes alone in the girl's bathroom.

As a result, Xiao Xia woke up drunk and found that there was a strange man in his house, of course, he was not lightly frightened.

So he kicked Old Cui outside the door.

Then we saw Fan Wei standing alone in the doorway, with a confused face, and this honest man's appearance and the scene he encountered formed a very strong humorous effect.

That's how high-end comedy is played. It must be the perfect integration of the character's personality and the story, because of the development of the plot, because of the development of the situation, to create jokes.

In addition to the male protagonist Fan Wei, the performance of the female protagonist Ju Wenpei can also be remarkable.

<h1>Especially the combination of her and Fan Wei is very wonderful. Fan Wei belongs to the kind of middle-aged men, Yan La Bar; the heroine played by Ju Wenpei is a young and lively type, and the combination of the two people has produced a lot of funny laughs. </h1>

The above-mentioned scene between her and Ju Wenpei's bathroom is like this.

There's a lot more to come.

In short, there are not many spoilers, let's go and see, it's really fun.

Moreover, the emotional drama between Ju Wenpei and Fan Wei is also quite funny. A movie of more than an hour, the process of two people from the initial acquaintance, to the slow familiarity, and finally come together, is not abrupt at all. That's a rarity.

It's good that a comedy movie makes the audience laugh and is genuinely funny. From this aspect to evaluate domestic comedies, in fact, there are really few that can surpass "Departure on the Same Day".

2. Why did "Departure On The Same Day" fail at the box office?

As a comedy that is still generally funny, "Departure on the Same Day" is sorry for the quality of the film at the box office.

We see that in the 2008 Chinese film rankings, "Departure on the Same Day" only ranked 64th, and the box office was only 6.66 million.

The best domestic comedy at the box office this year is the summer cottage comedy "Perfect Nine Beauty". The film director is Li Xiang's husband Wang Yuelun, starring Li William, Huang Yi, Deng Jiajia, and there are also Dao brother Liu Hua in supporting roles.

"Perfect Nine Beauty" is actually quite funny, and Deng Jiajia's line "Jump you a jump" is still very funny.

However, as a comedy, the male protagonist Li William and the female protagonist Huang Yi have no comedy cells at all, and the whole movie story is completely patchwork and nonsense, although there are many laughs, but the whole story is really rare.

However, this movie was a dark horse in the summer that year, achieving a box office of 50 million, which was a great achievement in 2008. Even "Keep talking" starring Gu Tianle that year, and "Jiangshan Beauty" starring Andy Lau, were not as high as "Perfect Nine Beauty".

Oh, everyone noticed that there was also a "Peach Blossom Luck" starring Ge You that year, a completely bad movie, with the help of Ge You's super popularity, it actually had a box office of 30 million.

Therefore, compared with these 2 comedies, "Departure on the Same Day" is really wronged. On the quality of the movie and the degree of fun, "Peach Blossom Luck" is a completely bad film, that is, in the name of Ge You to circle money; although "Perfect nine beauty" also has a laugh, but it is very cottage, very vulgar, and can not talk about what a good movie, the result of both of them the box office is quite high, "The Same Day Departure" but not even tens of millions of box office, serious losses.

Because "Perfect Nine Beauty" was outstanding at the box office, the next year Wang Yuelun continued to shoot a "Panda Hero", which was really rotten out of the skyline this time.

In the end, the box office also failed, and Wang Yuelun finally stopped coming out to toss.

However, Wang Yuelun also had sequel films, Liu Jiang, the director of "Departure on the Same Day", and the heroine Ju Wenpei, who basically did not have a movie later.

Speaking of reasons, I think in 2008, the box office of a movie is mainly based on the popularity of the lead actor, look at the hype, and the relationship with the quality of the film is not too big.

Like "Crazy Stone", which relies entirely on excellent quality to break through, it takes a good element of luck, and it also needs the movie to be really good to have hope.

"Departure today" does not have the quality of "Crazy Stone", nor does it have the popularity of "Peach Blossom Luck" Ge You, and even the fame of the 2 main actors of "Perfect Nine Beauty" is also very large. Fan Wei alone can't support the box office.

In addition, our audience, in 2008, the aesthetic level was not as high as it is now.

In fact, in 2008, there was another film with a special loss, that is, "Li Mi's Conjecture" directed by Cao Baoping and starring Zhou Xun, Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao.

This is basically the film that Zhou Xun has played best in acting, and has won numerous awards. But in the end, the box office was only in the early 10 million, which was also a loss.

Therefore, in those years of 2008, the environment of the domestic film market was not too good. Really good movies don't necessarily sell. In fact, this has been going on for many years.

Wang Qianyuan we mentioned earlier, the "Steel Piano" filmed in 2011, it is really a classic of domestic films, even China Youth Daily and other media have reported, how about the final box office? It is only 6 million, even "Start On the Same Day" is not as good as it.

In short, many domestic films in those years were buried.

"Departure on the Same Day" was unsuccessful at the box office, and Ju Wenpei rarely acted in movies later. Because she was the host of the movie channel, she later starred in some main theme movies, but there was no response, and then she retreated into the background.

Sometimes the fate of an actor is like this, a drama is on fire, seize an opportunity and go on smoothly; if the opportunity is not seized, there may be no future.

So "Departure Today" is a real pity. Such a funny and funny movie actually has such a bad box office. Put it on the screen now, how can it start at 500 million, and 1 billion is not a problem.

I think what we can do now is to watch more of these movies, discuss and discuss them more, and let these movies stop sinking in the network.

As long as we've been watching and discussing, the life of these movies has always existed. A literary and artistic work, the most feared thing is that no one pays attention to it, that is, it is really lost in the dust of history.

Therefore, if you have time, you can go to see "Departure on the Same Day", and also go to see "Li Mi's Conjecture" and "The Piano of Steel", which have been buried in domestic good movies.
