Chapter 993 Comedy, just make people laugh and feel good
The movie is over. For the audience at the premiere, this can be said to be the most special premiere they have ever attended for a Li Yi movie.
It's not that Li Yi has never made comedy movies earlier, such as "My Sassy Girl" and the "Westward Journey" series. In fact, to a certain extent, they are all comedies.
But those comedies, although they have a bit of nonsensical style, are actually still sad at their core. "My Sassy Girl" is a little better, but "Westward Journey" really makes countless people not feel sad after watching it.
This is a comedy because there is too much helplessness, too much unwillingness, and too much regret.
But this time, it's really completely different.
In the eyes of many people, the movie "East Comes West" is destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese film comedy, because it is a true movie that many of them don't know how to describe in words.
First of all, comedy is naturally meant to entertain the public, so does this movie achieve that?
Obviously, bursts of laughter could be heard from the scene every few moments, especially the confrontation between Ouyang Feng and Hong Qi, which made the laughter never stop.
Therefore, this comedy, first of all, is undoubtedly a qualified comedy from this level.
Secondly, this is another comedy that makes people feel very weird.
Because it really doesn't follow any rules, or in other words, it breaks everyone's understanding of comedy movies, and even their understanding of movies.
Only then did I realize that movies can be so absurd. There are too many movies that people can’t help but complain about, such as Rotten Bananas, The Imperial Master’s Crystal Ball, Invincible Flying Boots, and many more.
The plot seems to be connected, but from a professional perspective, there are big problems.
The first one was at Jiuyin White Bone Cave in Danxia Mountain. When I went there for the first time, I actually didn’t achieve any results, so I switched directly to the Dadong Inn scene.
Then the scene from Dadong Inn to Jiuyin White Bone Cave also has a strange transition.
But if you really dig into it, you will find that there is really no point in worrying about these things.
Because this is a "crazy" movie.
There is a sense of absurdity everywhere in the movie. There are pitfalls and flaws everywhere, but you can't stand it. If you think about it seriously, you will find that although this movie is extremely absurd, it actually has its own identity.
The obvious context, the structure of the entire movie is actually very complete.
The Hollywood three-part structure that we often talk about is actually not so easy to apply to comedy movies, because comedy, to put it bluntly, this type of movie, as long as it can make laughter spread in the theater, it can keep the audience watching.
Afterwards, if you feel happy, then you are successful.
Therefore, comedy movies rarely have any fixed patterns.
Again, this movie is very interesting, really interesting. Not to mention other things, the actors, the plot, and the Jianghu affairs in the movie are actually the same as those in Hong Kong Island Entertainment in previous years under the imagination of many people.
The things that happened in the Hong Kong entertainment industry corroborated each other, making it difficult not to think about, is Li Yi using this movie to convey the things in the Hong Kong entertainment industry?
"Bah, bang, bang!" But no matter what, there was still roaring applause at the premiere.
After the premiere, many fans were still discussing happily, because this movie may not be as "tear-jerking" or as "serious" as Li Yi's other movies in the past, but they can't stand the fact that this movie is really
The topics are full of topics.
There are so many things that people can’t help but discuss.
This is true not only of the fans but also of the media and film critics.
"Weijie Chan's performance is really good, but I didn't expect that he would actually be willing to play such a role. Tsk tsk, I don't know why, but now I can't help but laugh when I think of the unlucky Ouyang Feng, hahaha!"
"Not only Chen Weijie, but if you ask me, Cheng Hu was so cool when he came on the stage and shouted "invincible" that it was fun!"
"Am I the only one who thinks that the scene where Chen Xiao wears women's clothing is a classic?"
"Are you talking about the duet song "Two Flying Swallows" that he and Liang Feng sang?"
"Cactus grows on the banana tree, hahaha, no way, I just want to laugh when I think about it."
"That part was really funny, but I haven't seen such an interesting movie in a long time."
"It's just too absurd, and many plots are inexplicable."
"It's funny enough. It's a ridiculous movie to begin with. If you really want to find fault with it, you can't watch the movie at all."
"This is nonsense, or this is the real nonsense!"
"Those ridiculous things I did when I was young were actually not that ridiculous. I was young and frivolous, and I just dared to play and do things!"
In fact, sometimes this is the case. Some celebrities cherish their feathers and are unwilling to play clowns. They feel that if they act as clowns as idols, their character will collapse.
But in fact, is Chen Weijie an idol? Of course he counts, but this time, the role of Ouyang Feng he played can be said to be an out-and-out buffoon in the film. After all, he is the only one among everyone.
The image of Guo Xiao and the two sacrificed, but this will not make the audience feel that his character has collapsed.
On the contrary, I think Chen Weijie is more interesting like this.
Compared with ordinary movie fans, this time movie critics are a little scratching their heads.
Generally speaking, film critics are usually not interested in comedy movies, especially comedies that are extremely absurd and nonsensical. After all, what depth do you expect this thing to have?
But this time they are scratching their heads. On the one hand, it is obvious that the popularity of this movie will not be low. If nothing else, the extremely luxurious cast is enough to make this movie no matter how bad it is.
There will also be many fans who will support the movie, and the popularity will not be too low. What's more, is this movie bad?
Obviously not!
It may not have anything to do with the classics, but at least it is a very watchable movie.
Film critics also need to be careful.
The reason why many film critics struggle is mainly because of how to write a film review?
Although with their open minds, they can interpret many things that ordinary movie fans cannot see, but in this case, will it seem nondescript?
It's a spoof of a nonsensical movie, but you have to put it on the line.
Also, depth is really hard to define.
Therefore, a very strange thing happens. Usually, as soon as the premiere of Li Yi's movie is over, the film critics' long reviews are always the fastest. After all, there are many people paying attention and the popularity is high, so the film critics also need to grab the attention.
It's about time.
But this time, many movie fans were surprised to find that there were many short reviews, but no long reviews.
On the Popular Film Critics website, the score of "East and West" is not high, only 8.5. This score may be considered high for other movies, but don't forget, this is the day of the premiere.
But to put it mildly, this is an absurd comedy, and it’s a movie with a lot of stars. It’s quite funny. For a movie with a lot of stars, many people’s first impression is that it’s a “bad movie”!
