"Big Buddha Plus" is known as the best film in Taiwan in recent years. This film with no big names and little investment, eventually led the Golden Horse Awards with ten nominations, and won the best new director in one fell swoop. Including five awards.
and Huang Xinyao directed this new film "Classmate Mynasi", in fact, and "Big Buddha Plus" are inextricably related.
On September 22, 2020, "Classmate Manas" exposed the first pilot trailer and pilot poster.
The pink locomotive in "Big Buddha Plus" on the poster reappeared. Director Huang Xinyao sat on the locomotive, with a line of white printed characters spread on the black asphalt ground:
"More locomotive than last time." Lass is based on Huang Xinyao's short film "The Big Buddha", 's "Classmate Manas" is also inspired by Huang Xinyao's 2005 high school friend's documentary "Bluck the Three Little Children" (Hokkien: What nonsense).
The "Plus" of "Big Buddha Plus" was finished, this time Huang Xinyao started the idea of "Minus". The interesting title of
has also attracted the attention of netizens. They laughed and said that the director had a posture for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of . After the filming of Manas Plus, had to film Waid and Thame. Taxi?
However, the director’s move is not purely for fun. Huang Xinyao said when talking about the title:
"The "addition and subtraction" of "Big Buddha Plus" and "Classmate Mynas" actually represent the ups and downs of life. Individuals will face the difficult dilemma of life, how to deal with it, sometimes it really needs some old friends to support and let you express your emotions.
After the first movie, I re-examined myself, and also remembered my closest friend when I was young People." Although
has changed from "Plus" to "Minus", the film ushered in some "upgrades" compared to "Big Buddha Plus".
In the Hokkien-speaking narration of Huang Xinyao's locomotive, the screen not only changes from black and white to color, but the screen is also wider than before.
In addition to director Huang Xinyao, the producer of the film is also an old acquaintance, who is still the producer of "Big Buddha Plus" Ye Rufen and Zhong Menghong .
Huang Xinyao cueed Zhong Menghong in the first trailer, and said seriously that "Big Buddha Plus" made Zhong Menghong lose his pants. Fortunately, the box office barely tied, so there was "Classmate Manas".
It is worth mentioning that Zhong Menghong won five Golden Horse Awards in 2019, "Sunshine" , also on September 22nd, will be selected to compete for the Oscar "Best International Film" (original best Foreign Language Film Award).
Back to "Classmate Manas", the film describes the independent but intertwined lives of four high school classmates who have reached middle age.
undertakes the "foretell what will happen, and listen to the next breakdown" of the first trailer. In the second trailer that was exposed, Huang Xinyao introduced the four protagonists of the film.
Liu Guanting, Zheng Renshuo, Natto, Shi Mingshuai respectively play four classmates who like to chat and play cards in the bubble tea shop.
Tian Zai (played by Shi Mingshuai) is a middle-aged director who is not met with talent. His goal in life is to make a movie, but by chance, he was selected by a politician (played by Chen Yiwen) to start the election.
Dianfeng (Jung Renshuo) is an ideal person, because his girlfriend is pregnant and will enter marriage, and his occupation is an insurance clerk, he frugally bought a new house.
closed knot (played by Liu Guanting), as the name suggests, a little autistic, engaged in the paper house industry, and has special abilities to seeSomething that normal people can't see.
Enthusiastic and helpful closure Because the long-term care of the sick grandmother in bed missed the marriage, I wanted to find a good woman to get married through the marriage agency.
canned (natto ornaments), every story has a fat man, and canned food is the fat man with a big belly.
canned food likes to think about it. After committing suicide by swallowing medicine, the canned food began to change his mind and reunited with his goddess, the school girl Manas.
In addition, there is also Chen Yiwen , who won the Golden Horse actor with "Sunshine".
and "Caipu" Zhuang Yizeng of "Big Buddha Plath" also came to guest appearances, every single Hokkien language makes people want to laugh. When the character reads the lines of
, the familiar flavor of the dialogue between Ducai and Caipu in "Big Buddha Place" comes to my face.
In "Big Buddha Place", there is a clear picture of Taiwan's social class, showing two divided social classes.
And "Classmate Mynas", through the friendship of four middle-aged men, which lasted for more than 20 years, tore a corner of life and let the audience see it.
Tianzi left his wife in the cold because he was tired after getting married. While he was waiting for his wife to cook, his wife served him a special dish. The narration of the
trailer reads " is a sea, and sometimes we cry ".
This is similar to the classic Hokkien song "Love Will Win" that audiences in Taiwan and southern Fujian are familiar with:
"Life is like the waves of the sea, sometimes rising and sometimes falling." The film continues on
The black humor of "Big Buddha Place" also uses witty and frivolous dialogue and demeanor to outline the excitement of ordinary life, like the occasional sound of gold and stone clashes in the long stream. Although
is not irritating at all, it can chew a profound philosophy of life in the ordinary.
"Classmate Manas" was selected as the opening film of the 57th Golden Horse in 2020 and will be screened in Taiwan, China on November 20. It can be said that it is very worth looking forward to.
