All the media call this movie directed by Li Fei and starring Ge You and Qiao Shan as a comedy.
Indeed, just looking at the cast of Ge You, Qiao Shan, Zhao Wei, Fan Wei, Yan Ni, Pan Binlong, etc., it really should be an out-and-out comedy.
Everyone walked into the cinema with the psychological expectation of watching a comedy drama starring Uncle Ge, but after they came out, they were all lost because there was no comedy stalk that people expected in the film. The lack of
laughs has caused many people to rate the film very low. This evaluation is normal for the audience.
A film that gathers many big-name comedians such as Ge You, Qiao Shan, Fan Wei, and Yan Ni. In the fan’s imagination, it should be a bomber in a comedy. Who knows that the comedy atmosphere created by the final film only makes people feel This seems to be a small civilian helicopter, and there is still a problem with the engine.
However, people forget one thing, the director of this film is Li Fei.
He is not only a director, but also a screenwriter, an excellent screenwriter.
The plays he wrote often hide some thoughts and principles that he wants to express in a plot and scene that contradicts them, allowing the audience to discover and taste slowly.
His previous work "Evil does not suppress justice" with Jiang Wen and the film "Destiny Express", which he served as the director and screenwriter, typically embodies this design idea. The plot of
"Two Tigers" has been carefully designed, with a lot of suspense and foreshadowing. The film does not directly tell you a panoramic view of a thing, but first shows a scene and a detail, and after the audience has doubts, it will give an explanation one by one through the following information.
Therefore, after watching "Two Tigers", we found that director Li Fei may not want to make a pure comedy. He just wants to show his views on life through obscure characters and plots, and wants to tell the audience. His life experience.
Life and humanity, condensed in Li Fei's movies, bears the fruit of black humor. This fruit is sour and a little sweet, which can make people laugh, helpless, and even burst into tears.
1. The flaws are not actually flaws.
When I started watching the movie, I had a strong feeling that there were too many flaws in the movie and many loopholes. The most obvious thing about
is that Zhang Chenggong, played by Ge You, did not have a trace of fear after being kidnapped, he was calm and calm, and he felt that he was not afraid of death at all, and even had a taste of death. After
, through various god operations, the kidnapper Yu Kaixuan played by Qiao Shan was bluffed for a moment, causing the kidnapper and the hostage to change roles. The kidnapper not only served the hostages with delicious food and drink, but was also commanded by the hostages. .
This is really incredible and unreasonable.
, as the kidnapped wealthy businessman Zhang Chenggong, should be very apprehensive to the kidnappers, for fear of tearing the ticket, how can he make fun of his life and ask the kidnappers to kill him many times? As a kidnapper, Yu Kaixuan has decided to kidnap others, not to mention that he has made a sure-fire plan, at least he will be prepared. How can he be softened by Zhang Chenggong's words and follow Zhang Chenggong's words? Many people analyze that this is because Zhang Chenggong, a successful person, is too smart and has seen the world, so he can easily control the kidnappers. Yu Kaixuan, a down-and-out person, is too stupid and has poor psychological quality, so he is easily manipulated by people with high IQ. This view of
is absolutely wrong. In addition to the extreme disagreement between reason and emotion, from the later development of the film, Zhang Chenggong was not clever to the top of the mountain, and Yu Kaixuan was not stupid to the depths of the sea.
Then why is there such an obvious flaw?
You have been reading this question all the time. When Yu Kaixuan finally read the letter, he will suddenly realize: because Zhang Chenggong was going to commit suicide the day he was kidnapped, and he was about to die.
A person who wants to die, naturally regards death as home, throws life and death out of his mind, and laughs in the world. On the day of
, Yu Kaixuan actually saved him.
This also explains well why he always has an inexplicable affection for Yu Kaixuan, and finally insisted on giving him two million. The flaw of
is not actually a flaw, but a careful setting.
is so extremely workThe complete and extremely comic setting is what Li Fei excels.
Zhang Chenggong hated Shi Jian, played by Pan Binlong, the enemy who insulted Yu Kaixuan’s poems because his father was an insulted poet. Zhang Chenggong loved Zhou Yuan but could not be with her, implying that the actor loved by the rich was a minor The details and so on are all manifestations of this ingenious setting.
2, not all mistresses are not true love
Zhao Wei, played by Zhou Yuan, is an actress who does not have a good acting skills and does not want to be directed by the unspoken rules of the director.
Why is her performance bad?
because she has no emotional involvement when acting, like the walking dead. Why does
have no emotional investment?
Because of the hurt of love, she numbs her and prevents her from showing her true feelings.
Who hurt her love?
Zhang succeeded.
After she heard Yu Kaixuan say that Zhang Chenggong was about to die, her depressed feelings burst out, so her performance was distracted, and she was highly recognized by the actors and directors who acted in rival dramas and movie audiences. The two performances of
formed a sharp contrast, which showed that she loves Zhang Chenggong deeply and hates Zhang Chenggong, and her inner concern for him is by no means a decisive expression on the surface.
When Yu Kaixuan met Zhou Yuan for the first time on the set, Zhou Yuan pretended to be angry and drove Yu away. It was her true feelings that she hugged the deputy director after driving him away; Yu Kaixuan and her for the second time While drinking, she was drunk, but she still suppressed her inner pain and continued to avoid Zhang Chenggong’s problems; the next morning, Zhou Yuan, who was at war between heaven and man, used the accusation against Zhang Chenggong to vent her grievances. But still did not say what was in his heart; in the end, Yu Kaixuan made a sincere apology on behalf of Zhang Chenggong, and Zhou Yuan frankly said what was in his heart.
also means that she is relieved of the pain of the past!
Zhang Chenggong couldn't put Zhou Yuan at the moment of life and death, the main reason was that he felt sorry for Zhou Yuan and felt guilty.
He wants to know if she has put him down.
is relieved, and the other is answered. However, they are still not together, because Zhou Yuan may not be together as a junior. Although the mistress of
is true love, the mistress is the mistress.
has money, but can't buy love.
3. It’s hard to get ashore once the boat of friendship is overturned.
For Zhang Chenggong, Fan Wei’s Lao Fan is a benefactor who used to protect him in the army and prevent him from being bullied by others.
But because Lao Fan couldn't raise money because of eye surgery, he borrowed 5000 yuan from his former comrade Zhang Chenggong, but Zhang Chenggong, who was not short of money, refused mercilessly. The reason for
is simple, I'm afraid he can't afford it.
Finally, Lao Fan went blind. When
succeeds, it is easy to ignore the needs of people who have no value in their use, even if this person is a benefactor!
If you give others happiness, you will also get happiness, and if you give others pain, you will get pain, even if it is not physical pain.
Zhang's pain of success is that he has been living in self-blame afterwards.
He finally wanted to borrow Yu Kaixuan's hand to give Lao Fan a lot of money, but Lao Fan, who opened a massage shop, did not want Zhang Chenggong's investment. Why is
?
is like what Lao Fan said himself, he is blind and not blind. When massaging Zhang Chenggong, the body touched by his hands was the familiar body that he had been protecting with all his heart many years ago. He already had an answer in his mind about who came.
Therefore, he used twice the strength during the massage to vent his resentment for so many years.
Compared to Yu Kaixuan's yelling in pain while massaging, Lao Fan pressed Zhang Chenggong with double strength but could only say nothing. After
, Lao Fan was relieved. However, he does not want Zhang Chenggong's money, because he feels that Zhang Chenggong is no longer a friend to him.
has money, but can't buy friendship.
4. Those people in his hometown
Zhang Chenggong may have changed after success, but he should have not changed the grieving woman Caixia played by Yan Ni who he really loved in his hometown.
The reason why he didn't go back to see her was more that he didn't dare to return to the place where his father committed suicide. That was a hurdle in his heart that would never pass.
For his father who died unjustly, he has alwaysCan't let go, dare not face it.
Before he asked Yu Kaixuan to return to his hometown to send a letter to his dead father, he knew that he could only find his dead father through his old lover Caixia, who opened a small shop at the entrance of the village, and only Caixia would have time and leisure for him. Take Yu Kaixuan to find a dead person.
Zhang successfully achieved three goals by letting Yu Kaixuan deliver the letter.
is the spirit of heaven who can comfort his father. told his father that he finally understood the meaning of the sentence his father left him when he left: people can die, but they must not be insulted, and live with dignity!
Secondly, Yu Kaixuan expressed her sincere apology to Caixia. tells Caixia that he loves her and hopes she can let her go.
The third is to tell Yu Kaixuan the meaning of life. people are definitely not only for money, love, friendship, family affection and other things are far more important than money.
has achieved his three goals!
Zhang Chenggong and Yu Kaixuan, they are both tigers, they are two tigers.
They come from two completely different worlds, and their names have similar meanings: one "success" and the other "triumphal." To some extent, they are actually the shadow of each other and the mirror of the other.
One wants the material wealth of the other, and one wants the spiritual purity of the other.
people living in the world, to understand what they want, they have a direction to work hard, and they will not miss beautiful things. If the two tigers in
cannot have both, then grab the one that is really important to you. In
, there are many times in the film Pushkin's poem: "If life deceives you".
If life deceives you,
don't be sad, don't be impatient.
You need to be calm in melancholy days.
believe, happy days will come!
Xin'er always yearns for the future, but
is always melancholy now.
Everything is fleeting, everything will pass.
And the one that has passed will become a cordial nostalgia.
