"The Richest Man in Xihong City" is really funny, but if you think about it carefully, there is actually a great irony behind the plot.
Just like the previous paragraph, ordinary people worked hard to make money, but could not accumulate much wealth in their lifetime.
As a billionaire, Wang Duoyu spent all his money and squandered money, but the money became more and more. Even if he wanted to lose money, it became an elusive dream.
The extremely crazy and funny plot made most of the audience fall into joy, but when they calm down, they will faintly discover the bloody reality revealed in it.
It is no exaggeration to evaluate it with careful consideration!
This is also one of Zuo Le's habits in film and television works. Although most of his films are commercial films, his first goal is ratings or box office.
But in addition to the blockbuster elements, he also consciously used them in his works and added some things that the audience can think deeply about.
This is also an inevitable behavior for any creator to express and convey the ideas he or she agrees with, but the intensity may be strong or weak.
Zuo Le is not a big fan of being a teacher, but when choosing scripts from Golden Finger, he still instinctively prioritizes works that appeal to him.
Leaving aside the TV series, the four movies produced now all have certain connotations.
The movie "Wulin Gaiden" is about the real estate economy, and it implicitly reminds everyone to beware of the tricks of real estate developers.
"Charlotte's Troubles" talks about cherishing the beauty in front of you and dreaming less.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" discusses money and human nature.
Even "Dumpling Detective", which has the lowest rating, actually reflects the middle-aged crisis of the male protagonist Xu Aiguo in a large part.
This is also the reason why Zuo Le is obsessed with the Golden Dragon Award. If it were a pure popcorn movie with no connotation, he would not humiliate himself.
But it is obvious that his commercial films are in-depth and meet the entry requirements. So Zuo Le would definitely not want the Golden Dragon Award to be unfair.
Let’s stop chatting and get back to the plot of the movie.
As mentioned earlier, Wang Duoyu was almost in a desperate situation because of Wolong Fengxiao's top-notch backstab.
There is not much time left before the agreed one-month test period.
According to Wang Duoyu's previous plan, Zhuang Qiang and Da Chongming continued to invest and lose money. If he continues to squander his life, he can guarantee that he will complete the test within the specified time.
But now, not to mention the 100 million from the previous stocks, now Wolong Fengchu has made another 1 billion by building unfinished buildings.
According to the rules of the test, this money is also included in the test. If he cannot spend it all, if the test fails, Wang Duoyu will not get a cent of the inheritance of more than 30 billion yuan.
At this point, if we continue to spend money step by step like before, it is too late.
Wang Duoyu decided to fight to the death.
Whether it succeeds or fails, it’s all a matter of debate.
He found Mr. Jin overnight and used his sharp tongue to persuade him to agree to his plan.
The next day, Wang Duoyu called a group of domestic and foreign reporters and held a press conference on a hill covered with cloth in the hall.
This section is one of the famous scenes in the movie. It has a very strong comedy effect, especially the section where Wang Duoyu makes a "sincere confession", which can even be required to be recited in full.
"Hello everyone, I am Wang Duoyu, a late-blooming rich second generation.
I've been in a lot of pain recently, even though I spend money desperately every day, squander it day and night, and rack my brains to figure out how to spend money.
But my money, they seem to have the ability to reproduce, the more they spend, the more they spend, the more they spend, the more they spend, the more they spend, the more they spend, the more they spend.
They took away my whole body, leaving me with only a handsome body..."
Do you hear what others say?
The movie borrows the words of a foreign reporter to evaluate Wang Yudu's Versailles speech in two words.
【Fuck me】
However, Wang Duoyu has not yet restrained himself and continues to irritate everyone present frantically.
"A person who gets something for nothing can reasonably own wealth that you can't strive for in your whole life. Do you think I'm angry?"
"..."
The scene was peaceful!
Wang Duoyu didn't give up and picked a reporter to ask: "Tell me, are you angry with me?"
The reporter gritted his teeth and smiled: "Don't be angry."
Wang Duoyu obviously didn't believe it: "It's impossible, don't hold it back and speak your mind."
"Get angry!"
The reporter shouted out what was in his heart.
Wang Duoyu continued to set the rhythm himself: "Speak louder, are you angry?"
Everyone present roared: "Get angry!!!"
"Great, do I hate it?"
"Hate!!!"
"Am I annoying?"
“Annoying!!!”
"Do I deserve a beating?"
“Deserves a beating!!!!!”
Seeing the turbulent crowd, Wang Duoyu felt frightened and instructed the bodyguard next to him: "Pay attention to protect me."
The bodyguard turned back expressionlessly: "I want to give you a stick!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha………"
The audience covered their cheeks and laughed wildly. This scene was really funny and infuriating. Not to mention the characters in the play, even after hearing what Wang Duoyu said, they all ran into the movie to kill him.
So mean!
………
Back to the plot, seeing the turbulent crowd, Wang Duoyu finally showed a smile on his face, and took out his carefully prepared killer move - fat insurance.
He regarded the 2 billion in his hand as fat insurance deposit. Everyone spent 1 yuan to insure the fat, and then Wang Duoyu paid 1 yuan per gram of fat until the 2 billion insurance deposit was paid out.
To put it simply, ordinary people spend 1 yuan to buy fat insurance, and then Wangduoyu will pay one yuan for every gram of fat, or weight, lost.
If you lose one kilogram, you will be compensated 1,000, if you lose 10 kilograms, you will be compensated 10,000. You can exchange fat for money and make money by losing weight.
What a business genius.
If Mr. Pei had used this trick earlier, it would have taken more than a thousand chapters and he would have been stabbed in the back every day...
I have to say, this idea is quite amazing. I originally thought it was a comedy about spending money to make money, but then it turned out to be about losing weight, and the logic made sense.
Losing weight and making money really touched the hearts of many viewers.
Nowadays, living conditions have improved, and obesity has become a problem that plagues countless modern people.
Many overweight people, after watching the movie, wish that in reality there are many kings and many fish, with fat in danger, motivation to lose weight, making money, and finally having a good body.
Achievements in one fell swoop!
It’s really Bulbasaur eating a Bulbasaur and walking into Mickey Mouse House – it’s so wonderful.
It's a pity that in reality there is no "prodigal son" who squandered 2 billion, so everyone can only watch the movie and envy him.
Fatty insurance is online, the plot flashes back and transitions, and there is a magical and cheerful episode.
"The first thing you say when you wake up every day is to cheer yourself up.
Every time you eat an extra grain of rice, you have to say sorry
Mirror, mirror, look at me, where is my collarbone?
Beautiful, I want to be beautiful, I want to become a heartthrob
………
calories, calories, calories
calories, calories, calories
…
Calories my nemesis
Burn my calories ↗ (broken sound)
………”
Zuo Le hired the most famous female group in China to record this song, and specifically designated the member with the worst singing skills in the group to sing the phrase "Burn My Calories" and required that the sound must be broken.
This is what injects the soul!!!
After a flashback scene of people's crazy weight loss, the 2 billion cash mountain originally placed in the hall disappeared into nothing.
Wang Duoyu's smile reappeared, and Mr. Pei shed tears when he saw it.
Putting down the heavy burden that was weighing on his head, Wang Duoyu finally collected his mentality and competed with the Red Devils.
Many viewers were surprised to see the Red Devils, a European giant, appear in the movie, and they never expected that there were two real stars in it.
Due to the performance of the national football team, the sport of football has always had a bad reputation in the country.
In addition, the sports themes of domestic film and television are relatively unpopular, and few people can see football in domestic films and television, let alone real stars.
Things are rare and valuable.
However, the bad reputation of the national football team does not mean that there are few domestic fans who like football. On the contrary, because of the huge population base, the number of domestic football players is very considerable.
In the eyes of these fans, when they see football elements in movies and TV dramas, they instinctively feel warm to them.
For example, many viewers who are watching the premiere bought tickets after seeing the football scene in the trailer. They were quite surprised to find out that the male protagonist Wang Duoyu is a goalkeeper by profession.
Now that I see that the movie actually features the European giants Red Devils, and there are stars in it, I feel so happy.
The plot of the friendly match did not disappoint everyone. It was funny, passionate, and touching. The laughter in the theater never stopped.
After the friendly match plot ended, the movie finally came to its conclusion.
Xia Zhu was "kidnapped" by Mr. Jin. Brother Chen Kai, who was the kidnapper, viciously demanded a ransom of 10 million from Wang Duoyu.
And this is the last test of Mr. Wang’s 30 billion inheritance.
Money vs Humanity
Now, Wang Duoyu is still kept in the dark, thinking that the test of inheritance is to spend 1 billion in a month.
According to the rules, his money cannot be used as ransom, otherwise it will be considered a violation and the test will fail.
So from Wang Duoyu's perspective, if he pays the ransom to save Xia Zhu, it will be regarded as a failure of the test and he will not get any inheritance.
But from Mr. Jin's perspective, if Wang Duoyu doesn't pay the ransom and refuses to save Xia Zhu, it proves that he was blinded by money, lost his humanity, and is not qualified to inherit the inheritance.
This is undoubtedly a difficult multiple-choice question for Wang Duoyu, and the answer is full of traps.
Even the audience who is watching from God's perspective can see the difficulty of the matter and compare their feelings with others. If they were to be the current Wang Duoyu.
On one side is the inheritance of 30 billion, and on the other side is the life of my girlfriend who has been dating for a short time.
It's really hard to decide which one is lighter or which one is more serious.
It can be said that the setting of the third test at the end is very exquisite, and it suddenly sublimates the concept of the entire movie.
Even if I understand that the ending must be in line with positive energy.
But I saw Wang Duoyu's blushing face, hysterically messing around with Mr. Jin, deceiving himself and anesthetizing himself, and Xia Zhu's disappointed expression after hearing Wang Duoyu's words.
The audience still followed the ups and downs of the plot and became nervous.
Of course, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is a comedy after all. Although the plot ends with a heavy plot, it still does not forget to shake off the burden during the period, making the audience smile while being nervous.
In Wang Duoyu's phone call with Mr. Jin, he made it clear that he would not save Xia Zhu and instead took a group of people to drink in the bar.
Xia Zhu was disappointed, but Mr. Jin had great confidence in Wang Duoyu and comforted her: "Wang Duoyu is a person who values friendship."
At the bar, Wang Duoyu, accompanied by several young ladies, held a wine glass in one hand and a microphone in the other, howling at the top of his lungs.
"Wangyoucao, just forget it. How much do you know in your dreams..."
"Friendship"
Snap, snap, snap——
Mr. Jin: "Don't worry, Wang Duoyu won't let you go."
In the bar, Wang Duoyu sang intoxicatedly: "There is a kind of love called letting go, giving up for love lasts forever..."
"Won't Let Go"
Snap, snap, snap——
Mr. Jin: "If a person gives up his humanity for money, he will live with guilt all his life."
In the bar, Wang Duoyu led the crowd in singing: "Let us who are weak know how to be cruel and face every cold in life..."
"Guilt"
Snap, snap, snap——
Mr. Jin’s face was swollen!
………
However, just when Mr. Jin checked the time and saw that Wang Duoyu had not appeared yet, indicating that everything was over, several disappointed people were about to leave.
I saw Wang Duoyu sitting on the stairs crying with tears and runny nose. Next to him were several packets of ransom money.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
...Xia Zhu, I'm here to save you, you bastard, do you know how much I have given up for you? If you don't give me 100 children in the future, you will feel sorry for me, wuwuwu..."
Looking at Wang Duoyu who was crying and shouting with his eyes closed, and Xia Zhu who was crying with joy, all the audience laughed.
But this time I laughed, not out of being amused, but out of inner relief and happiness.
Everyone knows that if it were real life, Wang Duoyu would 100% choose 30 billion, but in the movie, everyone still hopes to see human nature defeat money.
Humans, no matter how miserable they are by reality, they still hope for good things from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if this beauty is fictitious...
