Chapter 814 Xu Guangtou, who always has an idea every time
He Xin was a layman in his last life, and he only liked watching martial arts, martial arts, comedies and the like. Originally, his education level was not high, and coupled with the pressure of life, he could not enjoy petty bourgeois literary and artistic films.
"囧" is a phenomenal comedy that was very popular at the time. He has watched it more than once, and his memory is very clear. Although he cannot restore all the plots and lines, the general plot and classic lines are still very impressive.
.
For example, Wang Bao made scallion pancakes while giving Gao Bo a massage, Xu Lang was beaten hard by a foreigner and two shemales, and he met a beautiful woman in the elevator and mistakenly thought he was a shemale. Then the beautiful woman answered the phone and scolded her in fluent Beijing movies:
"Meeting two 2Bs..." etc.
Now that He Xin has been immersed in the industry for many years and is still a major, he certainly knows that contingency is one of the necessary factors that constitute drama. It occupies an important position in comedy and is the condition for the production of comedy. Inevitability is the source of contingency.
It's the reason why it happens by chance.
For example, in "囧路" Li Chenggong returns home for the New Year, Niu Geng goes to collect debts, and the two meet on the plane. This is inevitable. The same is true in "囧囧", Xu Lang wants to compete with his opponent Gao Bo for the "oil tyrant"
"" authorization, he flew to Thailand as soon as possible. Wang Bao, an optimistic and filial young man selling scallion pancakes, flew to Thailand to fulfill the wish of his sick mother.
So under the inevitable dramatic situation, Xu Lang and Wang Bao met on the plane. During the subsequent journey, due to the chance that one lost his passport and the other lost his wallet, the two traveled together and thus developed a connection.
It lays the foundation for the continuous occurrence of accidental events. The plot is completed through these continuous accidental events and accidental actions. The characters continue to have misunderstandings and coincidences in these accidental events, which also form a series of jokes.
The snow disaster in 2008 in "囧路" is a necessary factor for all accidents. The competition for interests between Xu Lang and Gao Bo in "囧囧" is also an inevitable factor. Due to Gao Bo's hot pursuit,
This led Xu Lang to use various accidental incidents with Wang Bao to get rid of Gao Bo's tracking.
Ever since, the following plot is:
On the train to Chiang Mai, Xu Lang discovered that Wang Bao actually had a postcard with a photo of the temple where the company chairman was located, which he had failed to download before. Wang Bao said that this was his wish - to plant a healthy tree in that temple.
In order to fulfill his wish list, Wang Bao always wastes time and wanders around various local customs. When he goes to a hot spring, he wants to have a fish treatment, which makes Xu Lang, who has a lawsuit on his head, loses his patience.
He secretly ditched Wang Bao and headed to the temple. When he arrived at his destination, Xu Lang bumped into a gangster conducting illegal cultural relics trading - this was not the place he was looking for at all. At this time, Gao Bo showed up with Wang Bao, and the gang mistakenly
Treating the three of them as police officers, Xu Lang and Wang Bao fled in a hurry during the chaos. The gang detained Gao Bo and extorted a large sum of money.
Halfway through the escape, the car broke down. Xu Lang blamed Wang Bao for taking him the wrong way, and a pair of enemies quarreled again. The two walked to a small village, and the enthusiastic locals helped Xu Lang find the correct address of the temple. It was during the Thai calendar
During the Water-Splashing Festival, the village looked peaceful.
The relaxed and joyful atmosphere also infected Xu Lang. He began to reflect on his life and called his daughter. However, his daughter was very disappointed with his repeated breach of trust. He felt very guilty, so he made a wish in front of the Buddha statue, hoping to make up for his mistakes.
Seeing this, Xu Guangtou, who had been laughing so happily that he had forgotten to eat, became thoughtful. He had the elements he was looking forward to in his heart, but it seemed not enough.
He picked up the already cold lunch box and continued to look down.
Xu Lang woke up the next day and found that Gao Bo was chasing after him again. Xu Lang couldn't figure out why Gao Bo found him every time. In order to avoid Gao Bo, Xu Lang and Wang Bao unfortunately fell into the water and were swept away by the river.
To the uninhabited virgin forest.
Xu Lang, who was in extreme despair, finally collapsed. He and Wang Bao had a big quarrel and even had a fight. After calming down, the two lit a bonfire by the sparkling river. In the paradise-like beauty, Xu Lang washed his hands.
With dust in my heart, I began to look back on my life. Over the years, I have been busy with the "oil tycoon" project, alienated my children, and the rift with my wife has become deeper and deeper. Gao Bo was originally the best friend, but now he has become a bitter enemy. What happened?
He realized that he had gone astray.
Walking out of the forest, the pastoral scenery of northern Thailand is peaceful and peaceful, and the simple Thai people live and work in peace and contentment. Xu Lang felt a sense of tranquility and understood the principles of "giving up" and "gaining". As he got closer to the temple, Zen rose in Xu Lang's heart
An idea gradually becomes clear.
"Tsk!"
Bald Xu smacked his lips, and at the same time, he gradually became clear in his heart. This is right. The transformation of a person should be a gradual process. Just like the change of Li Chenggong's impression of Niu Geng in "The Journey" is also a gradual process.
the process of.
But compared to "囧路", the change in "囧囧" comes more from Xu Lang's understanding and change of himself, which is undoubtedly a higher level in terms of realm.
How "valuing profit" is infected and transformed by "valuing emotion", from worldly success to returning to the family, allowing a low-end character to subtly transform a high-end character through his own thoughts and words.
More advanced!
He couldn't wait to look down.
At this time, Xu Lang discovered that there was a tracker in the box where Wang Bao kept his wish list. He finally understood why Gao Bo was able to track him all the way - Wang Bao was bribed. He took Wang Bao away and went to the temple alone.
Feeling terrible.
In the temple, Xu Lang met Gao Bo and learned from Gao Bo that Wang Bao was wronged and that the tracker was secretly placed by Gao Bo in the hotel without Wang Bao knowing about it.
Seeing that the contract was about to fall into Gao Bo's hands, Wang Bao appeared to help Xu Lang deal with Gao Bo. Xu Lang accidentally discovered the truth about Wang Bao's coming to Thailand: his mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and he made up a white lie to tell his mother that he was pregnant
My girlfriend Fan Xiaopang came to Thailand for her honeymoon. In fact, she took photos and wrote diaries along the way as gifts for her mother.
Here we return to the so-called understanding and touching in "The Journey", so Xu Lang gave up the fight for the authorization letter in order to help Wang Bao fulfill his wish.
Of course, Gao Bo got his wish, but found that the authorization letter required both him and Xu Lang to sign. Xu Lang told Gao Bo that he gave up the "Oil Tyrant" project and wanted to re-plan his life and find family, love and friendship.
The final ending is of course a happy ending.
After returning to China, Xu Lang took time to spend with his children. His wife, who was originally divorcing, noticed his subtle changes and changed her original intention.
While Wang Bao continued to work hard at his scallion pancake shop, Xu Lang showed up and gave him a surprise gift - he invited Fan Fan to take a couple photo shoot with him to show his mother. Faced with the goddess in his mind,
Wang Bao was dumbfounded and so excited that he could not speak...
After reading the entire article in one breath, Xu Guangtou leaned on the back of his chair and looked at the ceiling, feeling unable to calm down for a long time. It was undoubtedly a surprise at first, and this surprise was much better than the first time he heard "囧路" from Ning Hao.
The story is even worse.
As always, the differences between urban and rural areas and class differences are also embedded in the protagonist's mid-life crisis. The journey gradually changes and inspires. At the end, you can understand some things, open up your heart, and let go of the entanglements. Of course, the process is funny.
He was surprised by He Xin's creativity in telling such a story from such an angle, but at the same time he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had had an idea of a story like this before.
But after the surprise, he inevitably felt a little regretful. Just like "囧路", he tried to add some of his own insights or symbols into this story. For example, it would be more heart-warming, and amplify some elements of mid-life crisis to make people laugh.
Think more about it later. Or pay tribute to Woody Allen or Alexander Payne, because in their works, the thinking about the mid-life crisis is full of irony, introspection, or mean humor.
.
The reason why Guangtou Xu collaborated with Ning Hao, Cheng Er, He Xin, and Huang Boneng was that, to put it bluntly, birds of a feather flock together. They were all the same type of people, at heart they were all young and middle-aged artists.
At the same time, as a comedian, he is also an ambitious comedian. In his mind, the core of comedy is tragedy. He always rejects comedy movies that are purely funny, thinking that they have no artistic value. Just like Feng Xiaogang
He was rejected by the mainstream film industry at first because his early so-called New Year films were actually sketches and collections of jokes. Until he made "A Sigh", and then he made "Cell Phone" and "A World Without Thieves".
It is a comedy with real content. The former exposes the desires and hypocrisy of human nature, and the latter describes the contradictions of human nature, so it is accepted by the mainstream.
Similarly, only Zhou Xingxing after "Westward Journey" and "The King of Comedy" can be called a comedy master.
Thinking of this, Bald Xu no longer hesitated, picked up the phone on the table and dialed He Xin's cell phone.
…
Zhang Jin didn't lie. He was indeed not very good at drinking. In other words, he was not as good at drinking as He Xin. After two ounces of white wine, his face, which was not white in the first place, looked even darker. His previous restraint and stiffness were gone, and he became a new face.
Talk freely.
Of course, they talked about his professional field, his former glory as an athlete, and various anecdotes from his time in the military. Careful He Xin noticed that he rarely talked about unpleasant things in the past, which at least showed that he was an optimistic person, or
He is a positive person who uses past setbacks as motivation for his efforts.
We agreed that martial arts training would start tomorrow, and the location would be the company's rehearsal hall.
"Where do you live? I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow."
Zhang Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't bother me. My wife and I live on the set now. It's very convenient to take a taxi here."
He Xin smiled and said, "That's just right. I'll tell Lu Xiao later and ask him to send a car."
It was precisely because of a drink that the relationship between the two quickly became closer. He Xin also joked: "It seems that Brother Jin is also a model husband, and his wife is still accompanying him when filming!"
"Firstly, it's mainly because I have nothing to do, and secondly, it's because..."
Zhang Jin scratched his scalp and said with a little shyness and joy: "Secondly, my wife is pregnant, so I'm really worried about filming here alone."
"Really? Congratulations, Brother Jin!"
He Xin was surprised, because he saw barbecued pork Fen at the last launch ceremony, and there didn't seem to be anything strange about it.
"It's also unfortunate that it's only been two months, and she just found out before starting the phone, and then she doesn't want to give up this opportunity, so I don't worry..."
Out of empathy, He Xin couldn't help but asked with concern: "Have you ever said hello to the director? It's only been two months now, so you have to pay special attention!"
"Oh, come here and tell Director Zheng. Director Zheng takes good care of us." Zhang Jin said hurriedly.
He Xin nodded, and just as he was about to share some of his experiences with Zhang Jin, the phone on the table vibrated, and he saw it was his office number.
"I'll take a call!"
He picked up the phone and said hello to Zhang Jin. He just got through: "Hello..."
Baldy Xu's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Where are you? I have some ideas I want to talk to you about..."
