Among the domestic films, there is a relatively eye-catching feature film called "The Beneficiary". The author has watched the screening first and participated in the premiere with the "Baidu Film Group". After coming back, I naturally want to share my feelings about this movie with my friends.

Realism, hidden details

"The Beneficiary" is a realistic feature film. The scenes in the film, such as Internet cafes, surrogate driving, underage rewarding anchors, and abandonment of disabled women, are all too grounded and reflect Many practical problems currently faced by the lower-level people. And use the core theme of "fraud marriage and insurance" to explore the battle between good and evil in human nature.

But after watching the premiere, many people feel that the process of the villain's crime is too simple. In fact, the creators also know that everyone has this question: "The story of "The Beneficiary" is indeed based on a real case. The girl in that case is not as lucky as Miao Miao, and really left. Some viewers are watching the film. Later, I thought it was too easy to plan to defraud insurance. Is it really like this in actual operation?”

Dapeng helped to explain: “In fact, this is a deliberate arrangement of the director when he is creating. The specific details of the insurance fraud were explained so clearly, because this case was reported in the media. Later, there were 5 cases of imitating the country during that period (this sounds terrible, and it has not been detected." How many beneficiaries will there be?). People who make movies should also have a sense of social responsibility. It does not mean that one-sided evil is presented in a very enjoyable manner and it is over. I hope that everyone can choose to believe in love after watching the movie. This is the original intention of the creation."

​​looked at it with admiration, the mutant acting

actually Dapeng not only has a thorough knowledge of the story, but also put a lot of effort into the role. It is said that during the break from filming, he took the makeup from the movie and went to the streets of Chongqing, applying for the dishwashing man in the image of a downcast Chongqing man, and even mixing into the birthday party of the elderly, without arousing suspicion.

Wu Hai is full of contradictions in his heart, and his behavior is also vacillating. In fact, every movement of such a character is difficult to grasp, but Dong Chengpeng did a very good job. Not only did he not feel like acting, but he was also impressive. Love and hate. When Wu Hai saw the sea for the first time and tasted the sea for the first time, I was inexplicably touched, and I began to feel that people who did bad things actually have the good side of human nature.

As for Liu Yan's performance also showed sudden progress. Although "Little Fox Fairy" and Yue Miaomiao are the same character, they show completely different personalities. In the first half of the movie, "Little Fox Fairy" is a typical vanity gold worshiper, with heavy makeup on her face and exotic clothes on her body, showing off sexy through exaggerated filters on the live broadcast platform.

However, when the plot gradually unfolded in the second half, the audience saw a different side of "Yue Miaomiao" after the gaudy style. She also yearns for innocent feelings and looks forward to forming a family with her lover. Betrayed by lovers twice because of infertility. She knew that Wu Hai was very useless but still wanted to spend the rest of her life with this man, but she didn't know that others were using her own life for profit. The brighter this character smiles, the more it makes the audience feel distressed. Being able to express the two contrasts of a woman without any sense of contradiction, Liu Yan's acting skills are really impressive.

believes that after this film is released, Dapeng and Liu Yan will rely on their performances in this film to change the simple views of passers-by.

love and hate intertwined, the open ending

will Yue Miaomiao choose to forgive Wu Hai? "The Beneficiary" gives an open ending. Movie fans nowadays are not what they used to be, and they don't think the open ending is a new thing. As a work that reflects reality, some people even think that failing to give an exact answer is to avoid the question. Director

’s feedback at the premiere was this: “In fact, when we were writing the script, we encountered the same problem. Whether we chose to forgive or not forgive, half of the script team would stand up to refute and choose open-ended The end of the movie is also helpless. But I think it’s not so important to forgive or not to forgive. Whether the protagonist confesses is the more important part. The story can actually be over after Wu Hai confessed."

z0Liu Yan gave a very courageous answer: "We can’t forgive Wu Hai. He is not a simple deception. The nature of this matter is really bad. Although Wu Hai is really good, he doesn’t want to hurt anything in his heart. People, but Miaomiao has the right to choose not to forgive him."

In fact, she has a very thorough understanding of emotional issues: "But two people will still live together. This is a very realistic and very common long-term relationship between husband and wife. Both of my husband and wife have deceived, and they have unbearable moments when they want to leave. But it is impossible for people not to make mistakes, and the accumulation of emotions can not be cut off. Therefore, not forgiving and being together are not contradictory."

​​finally talked about the pure viewing experience. Although it reflects many practical problems, the overall tone of the movie is not very heavy. During the unfolding of the plot, there are surprises everywhere, and there are many jokes. Whenever you are about to fall into a sad atmosphere, the burden buried by the screenwriter will be released in time. "I really lie to you, and I really love you", the attitude conveyed by "Beneficiary" is very open-minded, and it makes people feel very warm, which reminds me of "I am not a medicine god".

Coincidentally, this film is also part of the "Bad Monkey Film Project" like "The God of Medicine". The director who won the Olympic bid for "He Long Chuan Gang" after graduation was quiet for a long time, but now he is finally out. "The Beneficiary" is very likely to explode, and maybe movie fans will soon witness the birth of the second Wen Muye.
