For example, he is proud and lonely, but he loves a silly white sweet;
He is very busy, but he seems to be in love all day;
He is clever and sophisticated, but he is innocent in front of his mistress. ...
Rich people feel angry when they read it, and those who have no money feel stupid when they read it.
That's enough.
"The film and television rich", you are a joke.
I saved a lot of such jokes and finally got a big one.
The richest man in Xihong City is really funny.
Director Yan Fei and Peng Damo, starring Shen Teng.
Do you remember 654.38+0.4 billion goodbye Mr. Loser?
Without Mary, it is no longer an adaptation of MCA Funag's play.
For many dramas, there have been quarrels on the Internet. ...
But Mr. Wang knows that you only care about whether the richest man in Xihong is a good comedy.
After watching the premiere, Mr. Wang can clearly say:
Of course it is.
There are enough jokes, enough cool stories, and enough black humor that is rare in domestic movies.
Fake rich Shen Teng
On July 24th, Sir came to Beijing Wanda Studios CBD store.
To tell the truth, the air conditioning in this cinema is cold and the temperature is not suitable for watching comedies.
Sure enough, Mr. Wang was very cold from the beginning.
Shen Teng fluttered on the ground. He didn't jump up and Mr. Wang didn't laugh.
But Mr. Wang vaguely smelled a unique embarrassment of nonsense comedy.
The embarrassment of little people.
This time he played a poor goalkeeper, and the boss gave him money to play fake ball, but he refused.
Isn't it handsome to refuse? Hmm.
But after refusing, he still lost the game, was expelled and was transferred to prison. ...
To tell the truth, playing a nobody is not Shen Teng's strong point.
Shen Teng looks "too nutritious", a little oily, and smacks of middle-class shrewdness (maybe a little derogatory).
Therefore, when acting seriously, he always takes on some roles that are not very serious.
Like the rogue hotel owner in "Heart Flower Road Release", like "Fuck off!" Tumor jun cheated love rat.
Very easy to remember.
When he arrived at "the richest man in Xihong City", he gained weight again and looked more blessed.
There are some reasons besides appearance.
Like Stephen Chow and Bo Huang, who are good at playing little people, their faces are used to all kinds of changes.
In the expression of jumping, the ghost horse character of "villain" is clear at a glance.
But Shen Teng is not like this.
After watching many of Shen Teng's comedy characters, you will find that his excellent sense of joy does not lie in his changeable expressions. He is nothing when he smiles, is surprised and is afraid, but as long as he looks serious, he is very funny.
Therefore, every time he plays the role of pretending to be forced ... if he is not handsome, he has to pretend to be handsome, and if he has no ability, he has to pretend to be capable and the most brilliant.
Shen Teng is good at comparison.
Therefore, it is not easy for Shen Teng to play a nobody, but it is particularly suitable to play a poor man who gets rich first.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" just launched such a setting.
The essence of Wang Duoyu is diaosi, but the diaosi stage is useless 10 minutes to gain 10 billion net worth.
This 10 billion fund is too liquid-it must be spent within 30 days, or it will become poor.
In this way, his story constitutes two major contrasts:
One is identity: a billionaire who has never been a rich man.
The second is the goal: everyone wants to make money, but he wants to spend money.
Sure enough, Shen Teng's comedy tension was released-
Whether holding a chair, force yourself to stand up.
Still holding a handful of ginseng to his mouth.
Or at the stock meeting, the public wants to invest money in the sunset industry.
Next to the accountant gently kindly remind, he also don't want to be silly loudly:
Buy all those green ones.
Those are sunset industries.
Did you hear that?
You can't buy it if you don't buy it.
Shen Teng is really doing well.
However, this contrast is not the credit of Shen Teng alone, nor can it be separated from the exquisite outlook of Xihong's richest man.
High concept
From 2065438 to mid-2006, directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo were writing a script.
Globetrotters suddenly knocked on the door to promote an American film 1985;
Brewster's millionaire.
Anyone who listens to this project will hesitate.
1985' s American film is unknown, and Douban has no evaluation of 100.
No actors, no directors. When it was released in the United States, the box office was average and the word of mouth was not good.
Rotten tomatoes 36%, box office 38 million.
In the same year, the explosive movie Back to the Future won 2 1 10,000 box office.
Anyway, it doesn't look like an explosion.
But Yan Fei and Peng Damo immediately bought the copyright because they saw an advantage of the film:
High concept.
The so-called high concept is an idea that can be summarized in one sentence.
The high concepts of "the richest man in Xihong City" and "a million windfalls" are to see how a diaosi can spend one billion in 30 days.
However, if the audience can laugh a few times after reading the fancy money, they will always get tired of it.
In this way, the story is even more absurd.
Wang Duoyu bought the sunset industry, invested in nonsense dreams and hired incompetent people. Not only did it not bankrupt him, but it made him more money!
Wang Duoyu has to find a way to spend more money again!
Spending money has become a nightmare.
Generally, in the commercial films we watch, the hero's goal is to make money, get promoted and win the game;
"The richest man in Xihong City" is the opposite-spending money, losing family and life.
Cleverly, it abides by the "goal-obstacle" routine of commercial films, only alternating the old with the new and playing different roles.
To tell the truth, Mr. Wang prefers the richest man in Xihong to the millionaire of 1985.
Although the stories are similar, Mr. Wang didn't feel really poor in Millionaire.
It takes absurdity in a very serious way. The ordinary people in the story calmly plan to spend money, and finally use it to run for mayor, mocking American society.
In the film, two little people see $ 3000W for the first time and react as if nothing had happened.
The richest man in Xihong City is different.
The poor people here are scared.
The absurdity in this is cruel enough.
What live broadcasts swallow pigs, what microphone dogs bark, what dreams are short of money, and what unfinished buildings become school districts. ...
Laughter, it pokes the pain of the poor and expresses the greatest feelings.
Mr. Wang admires the creator
They can find the G-spot that resonates with the reality of China today from a short-lived story that 1902 was born in the world and 1985.
Yes, in Mr. Wang's opinion, the richest man in Xihong City is therefore better than Goodbye Mr. Loser-
That's ironic
black humor
Back to the topic mentioned at the beginning of Sir.
What does the "domestic rich" we have always imagined look like in reality?
In the positive spotlight, they are successful people who are well-spoken and self-disciplined;
In the debris of negative news, we always see their family members, who are shallow and boring, prefer to travel in the sun, spend money like water, and even ignore the law. ...
In short, an elite raised a bunch of local tyrants.
What's the difference between elites and local tyrants?
The former is very busy and the latter is very idle.
Elites are busy changing the world, and local tyrants will only do one thing in the world they change-basking in "class differences."
Of course, this need not be taught. As long as you give a poor man a pile of money, he will study forever.
And Wang Duoyu, I really want to learn this-
He took a group of lower-class brothers to the top hotel and asked for all-inclusive.
They don't care about hotel etiquette, dress, class, and only do one thing-throw tickets unscrupulously.
The snobbish hotel manager was not satisfied at first.
But as soon as the money entered his eyes, he immediately changed from "bearded butler in England" to "bent bartender in China".
"Chandler, gentlemen, please go inside!"
Therefore, eating shrimps, drinking red wine as water, holding Wang Leehom for a private concert and having a 4000W meal with lafitte (4) are all asking the question "How to fail". ...
Not to mention environmental protection, knowledge, rules and regulations, self-esteem and even various civilizations in the East and West.
Local tyrants are good at killing everything with money.
Is it interesting?
This is just the first irony in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which is for the rich.
Looking at Xihong City, Mr. Wang thought of another work.
Mark Twain wrote "One Million Pounds" in 1893, which was adapted into a movie of the same name in 1954.
We have all learned this true satire in class. The tramp borrowed a million-pound note, and it was useless. He became a real rich man by investing in credit and reputation, and finally returned the million-pound note.
Money begets worship, and worship begets money.
"The richest man in Xihong City" stood on its shoulder. So, the inspiration of black humor ran out shouting.
After Wang Duoyu became rich, he began to do business.
In order to spend all his money, he chose to do business at a loss.
But no matter what sunset industry, as long as he invests, people will invest together;
No matter what stupid dream, as long as he follows, everyone will follow.
Money blessed the incompetent Wang Duoyu, and every stupidity was understood as "deep meaning".
A classic irony, played a new era by Xihong City:
How bold people are, how productive the land is.
In this era, painting cakes can really satisfy hunger, and the flow is rolling interest.
This is its second irony of the times.
But without the third irony, Mr. Wang is actually not satisfied.
The third irony is directed at us-
For the poor.
On the open line, the story says, "Money is not as good as friendship."
In the process of spending money, Wang Duoyu realized that what is really valuable is not money, but the feelings between people.
Finally, Wang Duoyu made the right choice between money and affection, and repeated it 10,000 times, completing the sublimation of the characters.
But what about the hidden line? Can money really beat friendship?
No one listened when Wang Duoyu had no money.
Once you have money, at least you have a basis for communication.
Abandoned his coach and became his servant.
Laugh at your teammates and become his followers.
With money, his friendship even deteriorated.
Wang Duoyu and Zhuang Qiang, the rotten brothers, have been supporting each other before, and the friendship between the little people is pure and equal.
But with money, it will be different soon-
At a banquet, the brother picked up the phone and thanked him. It was a string of "woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.
Where's Wang Duoyu?
There is no other tool except paying more money and power to repay such "deformed friendship".
With money, he can become a striker even if he plays football, and all his teammates are around him, forming a chrysanthemum that stars and holds the moon.
The irony of this chrysanthemum is really vicious.
Is this friendship or slavery?
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" seems to despise money very much, showing us how people move from shallowness to sincerity and how money moves from god to filth.
Cool and breathable.
But if you think about it, you'll be depressed-
When we fantasize that money fails, is it because it is indispensable in reality?
The film didn't give an answer, but poked a question that reality couldn't answer.
This is its blackest humor and its strongest place.
The most brilliant thing is the ending of this movie, which is ironic and helpless ... but still not dramatic, waiting for you to see it.
It can only be said that the original boring happy ending, "Xihong City" with a stroke of a pen, has become a severe blow to the times-
Money and no money are slaves to money.
Sir likes the one at the end of the song. do you want to hear it ?
In the chorus part, Zu Zhenyan sang this word in his usual tone (feeling robbed by him ...), which is meaningful:
I want to be a golden tree.
We all want to be a "golden tree".
Because in this era, only "gold" can make us feel safe and happy.
Beautiful black.
