Hello everyone, the first movie of 2021, I went to see the new film "Warm Hugs" released by Happy Twist on the 31st.
It was a comedy that lasted nearly two hours, but not only could I not laugh at all, but the more I looked at it, the more I lost my face. Thanks to this film, I have a clearer positioning of my profession in the new year. Well, it's either stepping on the thunder, or on the way to the mine.
If you only look at the poster, the average person will think that Shen Teng's position is quite good, sandwiched between the two leading actors, which looks very well-lined. Including his ranking is also, second only to the male and female protagonists.
But after watching the movie, I found that this move may just be to rub the heat of Shen Teng. In the movie, Shen Teng's appearance time adds up to about ten minutes. If it is an audience running to Shen Teng to see, after watching it, you may want to take out your mobile phone and dial 12315.
But fortunately, as a guest actor, it can be seen that Shen Teng has dedicated his performance that he can show.
In addition to Shen Teng, there are many happy twist actors in this film, such as Ma Li, Qiao Shan, Allen, Wei Xiang, Tian Yu, Wang Zhi and so on.
It is reasonable to say that with reference to so many previous works of the Happy Twist team, these actors are slightly arranged and combined, and a reliable director and lead actor can at least make a film above the passing line.
Unfortunately, "Warm Hugs" does not belong to this situation, but it confirms that as long as the director pulls his crotch, even if he asks such a bunch of actors to do so.
The director, screenwriter and male lead of this film, Chang Yuan, is an actor of Happy Twist.
Chang Yuan himself is 182 tall, and his face is also at the level of handsomeness among comedians. He is the grandson of the famous cross-talk actor Chang Baohua, who has studied cross-talk with the master since he was a child, which is regarded as his own funny talent.
As a supporting role, he actually acted well, belonging to the kind of movie that would add small highlights and small jokes to the film, which can be seen from the happy twist movies he made cameos before. For example, "Charlotte Troubles", "Shy Iron Fist", "The Richest Man in Xihong" and so on.
But the problem is that if Chang Yuan is the lead actor, his acting skills really can't support a movie.
What's more, this "Warm Hug" is still his directorial debut, and there is nothing he wants, so the quality of the whole film is not good, really not. Such a long movie, I didn't laugh out once, not once.
The 5.6 score represents the immediate feelings that the general audience wants to express after watching this movie.
And I, on the other hand, lost interest in the film in the opening five minutes, began to doubt myself in the opening twenty minutes, and after sixty minutes I sat like a needle and felt, constantly thinking about when the film would be finished.
The screenplay for the film is based on the South Korean film "Project Man", which was released seven years ago. The original version is the overall quality of the film is considered to be the level of 7 points, which is more decent. Because there is no blessing from the big coffee that the domestic audience is familiar with, the joke baggage is also very Korean, so it is relatively unpopular in China.
The adapted version of "Warm Hugs" refers to the original version in terms of the basic settings of the characters.
Bao Bao, the male protagonist played by Chang Yuan, is a person with a high degree of cleanliness + obsessive-compulsive disorder + planning.
The home maintains a frigid decoration, basically only black and white gray. Cleaning and disinfection every day, from large sheets to small socks, must be ironed and flattened every day.
He must also act according to his own plans and habits, such as wearing a shower cap when sleeping, wearing a suit when going out, having to straighten the handlebars of an electric car, and even the time of farting must be accurate until two o'clock in the afternoon...
Correspondingly, the heroine Song Wenwen (played by Li Qin) is the opposite of the male protagonist.
She is a grassroots original singer with a big grin and seems to have seen everyone familiar with herself. The biggest feature is that things are informal, daily life is very sloppy, and the home is chaotic like a pig's nest.
In short, the living habits of the male and female protagonists are at two extremes.
At this time, the attentive audience may have found that the names of the two male and female protagonists actually used harmonic stems! Their names combined are the title of the film!
55555 Do not hide from you that when I first saw the name of this old terrier, I really spit out a mouthful of old blood and dreamed back to eight hundred years ago.
Perhaps you can't believe that this is a very representative point in the "charm" of the localization adaptation shown in this film.
Overall, the biggest feature of "Warm Hugs" after the adaptation is that -
Make the story more mentally retarded, make the jokes more clichéd, and make the film more boring.
Let's first take a look at how the male and female protagonists met.
On that day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, there were no clouds, and the sun was clear.
The male protagonist set off from home on time and rode his little electric donkey to work happily. The result was unexpected, just around the corner, the heroine actually rode out on an electric donkey and collided with him steadily.
That day happened to be the day when the male protagonist was ready to jump off the building to commit suicide. The male owner has made an appointment for himself to buy a hearse, a wreath, and the photo is also printed in the bag.
As a result, when he went out, he met the heroine.
Maybe that's fate, and I have to order a song called "Corner Meets Love" for them.
The next few seconds are even more bizarre.
Because the male protagonist collided with two small electric donkeys, he, an adult man with a height of one meter and eight meters, was immediately shot by inertia and flew three or five meters away.
However, after he was in the air, he realized that his clothes must not be dirty, and then he used his acrobatic skills to rotate at least 360 degrees in the air plus a Thomas swivel, standing firmly on a brick.
In the end, he successfully attracted the attention of the heroine, and the two formed an indissoluble relationship.
At this time, I think some viewers are going to question again, the male protagonist lives well, why do he want to commit suicide?
Friends, when we all start thinking about the classic proposition of "to be or not to be", it means that the story has officially begun!
The reason given in the film is because the male protagonist feels that his life is too boring and lonely.
How many bleak and miserable nights, he could only sit alone on the balcony lonely and cold. However, he knew that he could not change the problem of cleanliness, so he felt that life was hopeless and rushed to death.
Unfortunately, the film is clearly a gourd but unsuccessful.
The film feels as if only by throwing out this proposition can this comedy have a tragic core. Another important reason is that as long as this is the case, the female protagonist can save the male protagonist.
It does not dig deeper into the real life and spiritual desires of people like real-life male protagonists like other comedies with real depth.
The director's superficial effort seems to have done it, but in fact it is full of loopholes and does not pay attention to logic.
Although the male protagonist is a cleanliness habit and obsessive-compulsive disorder, he will casually eat with the female protagonist in a small street shop. Even the "land" on the wreath he had booked for himself was not written correctly.
And those problems that he had been forced to die before and could not be changed were completely corrected not long after meeting the heroine.
For example, the male protagonist is a piano teacher at an extracurricular interest tutoring institution, because he is very strange that no student wants to take his class.
But after taking office for so long, he was not dismissed. What is even more bizarre is that the institution is so not thin for him, he actually committed suicide on the roof of people's buildings at the beginning.
What's even more fatal is that this logical problem is only a small drawback of all the problems in the film.
The most important jokes and baggage of a comedy mentioned in the film are almost all born to forcibly enhance the drama, which makes people laugh at all.
For example, the opening heroine participates in the singing competition to sing the bridge section of the mouth song, which is really mentally retarded. In the film, the contestants went from looking down on the heroine to quickly reveling in it, and a bunch of people sang and danced with her, and this forced transformation made me feel fak.
Like what. One of the jokes in the film is to put "Good Day" on the hearse. Let the driver kowtow to the portrait of the male protagonist to express joy, I am curious that this is a mentally retarded scene that must be opened in the brain to figure out.
For example, in order to save the male protagonist, the female protagonist specifically sought out a psychologist played by Shen Teng to treat him. However, the treatment method is also all nonsense clips used to make up the scene, and three supporting characters who have no laughter points have been deliberately added, which makes the overall effect more plastic.
Not to mention that there are still many scenes treated in the psychiatric hospital that are cut out, and I am really drunk to see it.
For example, there are all kinds of and terriers in the film and vulgar passages with sexual innuendo, which can really cause physical discomfort...
Matching this awkward and vulgar laugh is the inconceivability of the male and female protagonists in terms of human design.
The heroine is a domineering woman who forcibly takes away other people's household registration ID cards when they meet for the first time, and is not reasonable at all.
After the two men collided on electric donkeys, she dragged away his documents without the consent of the male owner. But in the later stage, when she found that the male protagonist was beneficial to her singer career, she returned to please others with super cheekiness.
And the male protagonist actually accepted this kind of bullying and use.
The male protagonist is a strange man who moves other people's things without the consent of others.
The representative behavior is that under the premise that the heroine clearly said not to move her own cosmetics, he took advantage of the fact that the heroine was asleep and cut all her lipstick with a knife.
And the heroine didn't even bother with him.
It can only be said that the male and female protagonists are really not normal people in order to make a scene.
The director's way to alleviate the protagonist's obvious personality defects is to arrange a rotten meme for each of them who has been psychologically hurt.
Like what. Many years ago, when the male protagonist was still in elementary school, his father was hit by a car in front of the school and killed. It has caused a huge psychological shadow to the young male protagonist.
The male protagonist feels that he blames himself, because he has to hug his parents, who also have a strong cleanliness disorder.
The heroine was once deceived by the scumbag Wang Weiren (Qiao Shan) to cheat on her feelings and talents, and she was frustrated and drunk and could not get out of the emotional whirlpool.
Help, here is another harmonic stem, Wang Weiren = vain people. When I watched the heroine's mouth in the movie loudly emphasize this harmonic stem, I really almost had a heart attack on the spot.
On the basis that both the male and female protagonists are not very normal, but they both have psychological trauma. The director's task for the audience is to watch these two people torment each other while boiling chicken soup to save each other.
I watched them the whole time with exaggerated expressions and paralyzed expressions, using acting skills equal to zero, saying embarrassing passages, and acting in scenes that were not funny.
Until the end of the movie, both people have a happy ending according to the expected results, one successfully turned over and got rid of the shadow of the scumbag, and the other quickly corrected the obsessive-compulsive disorder and said goodbye to the past.
At that moment, I just felt relieved.
Negative points, pigeon kisses.
