Chapter 323 'My District Chief Father'

The beginning of the movie "Charlotte".

A white Maserati slowly drove into a luxuriously decorated Western-style hotel manor.

The doorman guarding the hotel hall door was ready to open the door to greet the guests with a friendly smile on his face, but the Maserati did not stop at all and began to circle around the manor square in front of the hall door.

The confused security guard and doorman contributed the first laugh to the movie.

Then the camera turns to the car, and the male protagonist Charlotte, played by Shen Teng, appears. Through the conversation with the rich woman's brother-in-law, the audience gets information.

Charlotte came to attend the wedding of an old classmate and asked her brother-in-law to take the rich woman's car to show her face.

When Zuo Le watched the original version on Goldfinger, there were people criticizing the screenplay, saying that there was a loophole in the script, and the plot arranged that Ma Dongmei's father, Ma Dong, had disappeared since she was born, so where did she get her brother-in-law.

Zuo Le was speechless at that time. Doesn't anyone know that there are relatives in this world called cousins ​​and cousins...

Returning to the movie, the Maserati circled around several times. Charlotte finally saw a few old classmates, and then parked the car gracefully.

As a result, before Charlotte could open her mouth to act cool, her clothes got stuck on the car door, and her unsuspecting brother-in-law drove away, dragging her clothes with her and sliding him away for dozens of meters.

He was slapped in the face for pretending not to be cool, and the funny scene made the audience burst into laughter.

Charlotte continued to insist on showing off, wearing a tuxedo suit with a few handsome feathers on her chest, and walked into the hotel with a determined expression.

The voice-over and background music also cooperate with him to act handsome and cool, and explain the background of the plot.

The audience also got to know that the wedding Charlotte attended today was the high school beauty Qiuya, who is also the goddess of Charlotte’s dreams.

Charlotte was very unhappy that the other party had married an old fat man, so she came to the wedding because she wanted to show off her dignity in front of Qiu Ya, grow her face, and become a light that she would regret in the heart of the goddess for the rest of her life.

For this reason, he spent a lot of money to buy this handsome outfit, but the sad result was-

He was wearing the same clothes as the emcee.

"Comrade, have you gone to the wrong room?"

The master of ceremony was a special guest appearance by Mr. He from Xiangnan Taipei. He spoke authentically from Xiangpu, and matched with Charlotte's embarrassed expression. Both the guests in the movie and the audience outside the screen burst into laughter.

————

The same goes for 1:00 and 1:30, Li Rui, and the three people on the plane, but Li Rui just laughed, and 1:13:30, the master and the apprentice were sensitive to film critics, so even when they were being laughed at, they did not forget about their work.

At half past one o'clock, he took out his little notebook. The tools of the plane were more advanced than his master's. He took out a tablet and concentrated on recording his thoughts.

[The opening is quite bright, with multiple small twists and turns, and the laughter is dense and natural]

This is a record of a month and a half. He is good at analyzing and dissecting the advantages and disadvantages of movies. In contrast, Airplane pays more attention to what the public likes to watch.

[The first guest star—Teacher He, emcee, five protagonists wearing matching shirts]

The master and apprentice were busy writing movie reviews here. In the movie, Charlotte was also awkwardly seated, and Yuan Hua, played by Cen Kun, wrote a poem.

"When I go to a banquet alone and dress up in chicken feathers, my classmates are all wearing chicken feathers."

At this time, Yuan Hua had not yet turned on the BGM, and the audience had not yet realized his importance. Everyone's attention was attracted by Teacher Wang who came on stage immediately.

The cast of "Charlotte Troubles" cannot be said to be particularly outstanding. Among the main creators, apart from Yan Ni and Shui Miaomiao, Zuo Le is the most anticipated by the audience.

Even after Shen Teng participated in the Spring Festival Gala, he could not replace Zuo Le for a while.

Since his official debut, Zuo Le has participated in all the works directed by himself, and he has also made guest appearances in Shanhe dramas. Although his roles are very few in many cases, he has a high appearance rate, and the roles he chooses are also somewhat outstanding.

Gradually, in the eyes of many people, Zuo Le's identity as an actor has gained some weight.

Even leaving aside his status as a director and various other aura bonuses, Zuo Le can almost rank among the second tier in the industry just by virtue of his status as an actor.

And because he has appeared in mostly popular dramas and has characters that are inherently interesting, such as Brigadier, Liu Ye, Wang Tianba, Xiaomi, etc., his popularity is much higher than that of ordinary second-tier actors.

This kind of basic popularity, coupled with the topic of the director acting in person, often makes the roles played by Zuo Le very popular.

Even many Zuo Le fans, when paying attention to Zuo Le's new works, are guessing what role Zuo Le will play and making predictions about the plot direction.

However, because Zuolexi Road is too wide.

Traitor, beggar, businessman, teacher, soldier, swordsman, eunuch, philosopher, chess master...

There are so many strange and varied things that no one can figure out his pulse.

Therefore, this speculation often ends in failure, but fans are still working tirelessly and continue to "match wits and courage" with Zuo Le.

Thanks to them, many ordinary viewers who follow Shan He and Zuo Le also know this joke.

So when Teacher Wang, played by Zuo Le, appeared on the stage, the premiere scene was filled with whispers and the commotion was even louder than when Shui Miaomiao appeared just now.

The character of Teacher Wang is also very interesting. A few interactions and two or three lines make a money-grubbing and snobbish teacher come alive.

"Teacher Wang, do you still remember me? I ran first in the winter long-distance running that year."

"Well, first..."

"That Chinese New Year, my dad gave you a radio."

"Zhang Yang! Don't forget that teacher."

"Teacher Wang, my dad gave me a TV set."

"Yuan Hua! Still such a talented person."

"Teacher Wang, my mother gave me a wall calendar."

"Then the teacher can't remember it, it doesn't matter, the teacher doesn't hold grudges."

"..."

Know people by observing etiquette and be a role model for others.

Teacher Wang from the real group immediately caught the familiarity when he appeared, and then mocked Charlotte, and the two became enemies, paving the way for what follows.

Later, when Charlotte was drunk and causing trouble, Ma Dongmei arrived. After repeatedly trying to persuade Charlotte but refused to listen, Ma Dongmei became completely angry and tore off Charlotte's "glossy" coat, revealing his true colors.

"Qiu Ya is getting married, and you are here singing and dancing, dressed like a feather duster. What are you doing?"

"You bought it with your own money? Charlotte, are you sorry? From graduation to now, have you ever earned a penny?"

"For so many years, you have been lying around at home all day long, and your limbs have degenerated."

"I go out to cupping people during the day, and ride three-wheelers at night. I thought I could save some money and buy a motorcycle, which would save me some energy."

"It's okay if you come here. You just want to be a part of it. You can get my engine in with you."

"When we got married, there was no ceremony. On the day we got the certificate, you took me to eat a meal of sheep and scorpion. What are you pretending to do here now?"

“…”

Yan Ni's acting skills are not just for boasting. She is not ranked first among actresses in the same year, but she is very promising to be ranked among the top three.

In Ma Dongmei's scene, she acted very explosively, laughing with tears, which not only affected the audience a little, but did not lower the atmosphere, and still maintained the rhythm of movie comedy.

This is an important point.

Because Ma Dongmei’s scene plays a very important role in foreshadowing and echoing the rest of the story. If it were played as a farce, the emotional impact of the second half of the movie would not be enough.

Similarly, it is just at the beginning of the movie, and it immediately enters a comedy tone, which makes the atmosphere too heavy and is not conducive to the development of the plot.

Therefore, it was difficult to control the timing during the period. With Yan Ni’s professional level, it took two and a half days of filming to meet Zuo Le’s requirements.

————

Yiyiyueban discovered this very keenly. As a film critic, his professional sense is still very keen.

In just a few minutes of the scene, he analyzed several character traits of the male protagonist Charlotte.

Face-saving, selfish, lazy, weak sense of responsibility, poor popularity...

As for the heroine Ma Dongmei, she has a tough character, is hard-working and has a fierce temper.

The male and female protagonists with such contrasting personalities will definitely have to make a big fuss later on.

Combined with the time-travel elements revealed in the trailer, I jotted down a few strokes in a notebook at 1:30, then cheered up and looked at the screen seriously.

He was looking forward to the plot development after the movie.

The "Charlotte Troubles" movie also lived up to his expectations. It didn't mess around and got straight to the point quickly.

When Ma Dongmei and Charlotte were arguing, she accidentally pushed Ma Dongmei down. Ma was furious and picked up a kitchen knife to chase her husband. Charlotte was chased so hard that she lost her armor and lost her face, and hid in the bathroom dejectedly.

After venting, Charlotte made up her mind to divorce Ma Dongmei. She opened the bathroom door and a white light flashed, appearing in an old-fashioned classroom.

The original "Charlotte" was set in the 1990s. Zuo Le added a few years to set it at the beginning of the century, and the backgrounds of several stars related to the movie were also changed.

Then blur the real age of Charlotte and others.

Otherwise, the matter of high school is not easy to reconcile. A few years or more than ten years are completely different concepts. Once you understand it clearly, the logic is difficult to explain.

The original version does the same thing, summarizing reality in one stroke, and the main story is in the "dream".

And even in the dream, except for the initial campus period, the subsequent timeline is not explained very clearly. It is all based on the plot setting, and it can be solved directly with the sentence "many years later".

In the movie "Charlotte", the crew worked very carefully on the classroom scenes at the beginning of this century.

After consulting with many consultants who attended high schools during that period, the high school classroom at that time was restored almost 1:1. If the audience observes carefully, they will find various small details in the classroom, which are full of the imprint of the times.

However, these details will have to wait until "Charlotte Trouble" logs onto the video website, so please pause and search slowly.

In the cinema, there is no time for the audience to study the classroom. Everyone is focused on the plot.

————

The audience was very excited to see Charlotte return to her high school days.

In Chinese film and television, time-travel scenes are not uncommon, but due to various reasons when the main body is reborn in the past, very few have been filmed, but everyone still finds it quite fresh.

Everyone will always have some regrets and misses when they grow up, so everyone has thought about how to make up for it if they could go back to that time.

Or if the reality is not what you want, you just want to be reborn in the past, rely on your "prophetic" memory, and become a trendsetter of the times.

Rebirth writing has been popular for many years in the online literature world because it is suitable for a wide audience of readers.

This kind of grassroots counterattack routine is very exciting for readers, so everyone likes to watch the story where the protagonist is reborn in the past, makes up for his regrets, and achieves success.

This is true for online articles, and it is also true for movies.

So when they saw Charlotte attacking the teacher, being the school belle, and burning down the classroom in a lawless manner, except for a small number of viewers who didn't agree with it, most of the viewers were extremely happy to watch it.

Because this is what they wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

The charm of images is different from words. Words require imagination, but images can directly give you pictures.

There is no way to say who is stronger or weaker between the two.

But images definitely give people a stronger sense of intuition and make it easier to express story emotions.

Especially for such a complex group play, the expressive power of images is obviously better than words. Of course, if the author is a literary giant, it will be another matter.

Charlotte, who thought she was dreaming, made a scene and jumped off the building, only to find that she was truly reborn.

When he stood at the street corner, looking around at the old and backward scenes, the background music was one of the most popular songs at the beginning of the century.

"It's not a sin for a man to cry. No matter how strong a man is, he has the right to be tired. If there is only heartbreak behind the smile, why should we be so miserable..."

Xia Luohuan looked around, and all kinds of major events that happened at the beginning of the century flashed around him. His smile became more and more arrogant, and the corners of his mouth raised crazily, like a dragon king with a crooked mouth.

The camera kept moving upward from Charlotte's face, from the panoramic view of Charlotte standing at the street intersection with her arms spread out, to the entire street entrance, then to the several long streets connected to the street entrance, and then to the nearby residential areas.

Eventually it covered half the city.

In the picture, this city is poor and old but full of vitality, just like the Chinese country of that era, preparing to be reborn bit by bit...

Yidianyueban likes this shot very much, although he knows that what Zuo Le wants to express through this shot may be different from what he thinks.

But it doesn't matter, professional film critics must have their own artistic understanding, and the director's own thoughts are sometimes not important...

Then, Charlotte's mother chatted with Ma Dongmei and analyzed their names.

After Charlotte was born, her father’s whereabouts were unknown, so she was named Charlotte.

Ma Dongmei's father called her Ma Dong. When she was born, Ma Dong disappeared, so Ma Dong... Mei (not).

Although De Fengshe had to deduct money for playing homophonic jokes, Shanhe didn't say that. The game was so fun that the audience also cheered and laughed.

Immediately afterwards, Charlotte played by Song Changying faced off against the principal. The principal was guest-starred by Fan Min. Both of them are experienced actors and are used to acting in comedies. They can be relaxed and funny without losing their humor.

Charlotte's previous sins of causing trouble have all been cleared up. The most interesting thing here is the official explanation given by the school.

Xia Luo set fire, beat the teacher and kissed Qiu Ya forcefully. Of the three major crimes, beating the teacher was the only one left.

He also used the excuse that Charlotte regretted jumping off the building to apologize for his crime, and then forced him to kiss Qiu Ya, and instead gave artificial respiration to the frightened female classmate. As for setting the fire, he didn't even mention it.

This is really a hole in the temple wall - it's so wonderful...

The audience was also swayed by this saucy operation. They even praised the art as coming from life and being higher than life. The lines were well written and deeply appreciated.

After that, it's one of the famous scenes in "Charlotte's Trouble".

In the classroom, Teacher Wang’s voice was brilliant.

"Speaking of classmate Yuan Hua, I want to emphasize my praise. Just yesterday, classmate Yuan Hua won the first prize in the district's essay competition.

The title of the essay is - "My Father, the District Chief", and everyone applauded and encouraged me."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The audience understood immediately, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces, and everyone understood it tacitly.
