Chapter 744 Donkey gets water
"Donkey Gets Water" is really cruel.
Typical black humor, and very rich in connotation.
At the beginning of the movie, Pei Kuishan said: "Why we are here to conduct this rural education experiment is to change the greed, stupidity, weakness, and selfishness of Chinese farmers."
The so-called intellectuals look down on the peasants, look down on them, and claim to be enlightened.
But in the end, these teachers who conducted advanced education experiments have all turned into the greedy, stupid, weak, and selfish people they once despised - Principal Sun Henghai was greedy, Zhou Tienan was stupid, Zhang Yiman was weak, and Pei Kuishan was selfish.
In the end, a few people actually continued their educational careers with a lot of seriousness.
"The Donkey Gets Water" criticized the hypocrisy of intellectuals, but did not spare the peasants either.
The small coppersmith, a representative of the peasant class, persecuted Zhang Yiman even more severely after he gained power.
Forcing a woman to shave off her hair in public, with both male and female heads, is what was used in the persecution back then.
Once you’ve satirized intellectuals and farmers, you’re done?
He even looked down upon those in power, the special commissioner.
On the surface, he looks bright and looks like a dog, but in fact, he is full of straw bag.
He claims to have returned from studying in the UK, but he doesn’t understand English at all.
I came to Sanmin Primary School for an inspection and even brought my own tea set to show off.
Even grandeur and grandeur can be used incorrectly.
The only positive character in the whole movie is the coppersmith's wife. Faced with the coppersmith's betrayal, she dared to stand up and fight; faced with a gun at the wedding, she dared to go up and grab the gun.
She is the only person in the whole drama who is not afraid of force and power. In the end, it was she who ruined the wedding and revealed the true face of the whole farce.
However, no one likes her.
Whether it is the school teachers or the commissioner himself, they are trying their best to maintain the superficial splendor and prosperity. The coppersmith's wife is like that little brat who said that the king has no clothes at all.
The film's promotional slogan is also very distinctive: "Tell a joke, but don't cry."
It seems that the black humor is going to be carried out to the end.
This is Happy Twist's second movie, and Happy Twist originally wanted to use the original drama cast.
But Yuan Yuan didn't agree, so forget about the other scripts. "The Donkey Gets Water" is such a good story that Yuan Yuan's production team drooled after reading it and forced people to come in.
However, the remoteness was not too much. I asked for two female roles, one big and one small. Zhang Yiman let Yuan Quan play the role. Principal Sun's daughter Jiajia was given to the company's newbie Song Yi to give her a face.
Yuan Quan liked the role of Zhang Yiman when she watched a play before. When she got the script last year, she was asked to play the movie version of Zhang Yiman, and she couldn't be happier.
Su Xi, the female director of the drama, has nothing to say even if she is dissatisfied. Big names like Yuan Quan, whether in film, television or drama, are all trying to reduce her dimensionality.
Yuan Quan still felt guilty, but she really liked this role and was reluctant to let it go. She also said a lot of good things to Ren Suxi for this reason.
The cost of "The Donkey Gets Water" was very well controlled. Except for Yuan Quan, the rest were all newcomers to the film industry. The shooting cost did not exceed 12 million, and the post-production promotion and distribution was only 5 to 6 million - this film company only plans to recover the cost.
, the support given in publicity and distribution is not strong.
The total cost does not exceed 20 million, and the box office is 100 million. Both Happy Twist and Remote will make a profit.
The two companies are still very optimistic about the profit prospects of the film. The cost is not high and the pressure is not great. Although a literary star like Yuan Quan does not have the ability to carry the box office, it is still much better than the original pure vegetarian lineup.
Moreover, although Cheng Yuan and Liu Yifei were not able to attend the premiere to support the film, the couple took it upon themselves to promote the film on Weibo.
This added a lot of heat and attention to the film.
Liu Yifei even said that this movie is her "best domestic film this year".
It even encouraged many people to watch this movie.
Let "The Donkey Gets Water" recover its shooting cost - 34.4 million yuan on the first day.
It’s not much, but the crew is already very satisfied.
"This kind of movie won't be a big hit." Cheng Yu'an vaccinated the crew when Happy Mahua decided to make this movie.
…………
Before, Cheng Yuan told Zhang Ziyi, half seriously and half jokingly, that he wanted to schedule an appointment with her next year.
Zhang Ziyi didn't pay much attention to it at first. After being walked around by Cheng Yu'an for so many years, she had long been numb.
But when someone actually came to her door, she realized that what Cheng Yu'an said was true.
We have been good neighbors over the past few years for good. As expected, the clouds have cleared and the moon has brightened.
But Zhang Ziyi was confused after reading the script. The whole story was not Cheng Yuan's style at all: "Didn't Yuan film it?"
"No, the director of this film is Zhuang Wenqiang, and it is not a remote film and television project. It is a reboot of Jiahe Entertainment." The staff member made it clear.
Zhang Ziyi hesitated. If Cheng Yu'an directed this drama herself, she would be willing to play the heroine even if it was a sideshow, but Zhuang Wenqiang would have to hesitate.
The lineup is very scary, with Fa Ge and Aaron Kwok already confirmed to star.
This is where Zhang Ziyi hesitates. It’s not that he can’t play a sexy heroine like Ruan Wen, but it depends on who the director is.
But Fa Ge and Aaron Kwok have a very good cast, and the script is also very good. It is a drama worth joining.
Zhang Ziyi also has "The Death of Romance" to be released, but other than that she has nothing in stock.
So she verbally promised the staff of Jiahe: "I will look at the script again and I will give you an answer within three days."
On the other hand, Yang Mi has been very active these days. She followed Liu Yifei's advice and worked hard to ease the relationship with the company's elders.
In the past half month, she has gained the trust and understanding of many people.
The "Thieves" series has come to life, and with the intentional help of some people, there is nothing that can't be overcome.
On this day, a director of the company told Yang Mi: "The company's mature series now all have fixed casts. I can't put you in a supporting role. I guess you won't be able to act. In this way, Jiahe has a "Wushuang"
, starring Fat Brother and Aaron Kwok, lacks a heroine, not many roles, but not much, no better than that "Baby" you played in?
"If you don't mind that your role is small, take the initiative to ask."
Yang Mi has always said that she can't get roles from the company, but now that a film with a female protagonist is coming to her door, how can she not take it on?
A borderline heroine is a borderline heroine, and her reputation in the film industry is already bad.
Now is not the time for her to just leave the remote area. With the golden body of a billionaire heroine, she can choose the movie at will, but now she can no longer control it.
When you find the basket full of vegetables, go and ask first.
She now urgently needs to regain the audience's trust.
As for the movie "Baby", how can I put it, she and Liu Jie have their own agendas and have their own agendas.
Yang Mi wants to make a literary film to express to the outside world that she still has serious thoughts and attitudes about filming, in order to regain the trust of the audience and management; Liu Jie wants to use Yang Mi's popularity to gain attention and exposure for himself and his film.
The two of them used each other, and their thoughts were not on the movie itself.
