"I'm afraid I will become the shortcoming of this movie."
’s common celebrity’s fake politeness is not this standard.
However, when Dapeng is a director, the problem is also on the bright side:
his understanding of movies, ideals and the world is networked and fragmented. To put it plainly,
has a low style and a serious sense of patchwork.
However, perhaps because the works are very close to my own life, I will also be moved by Dapeng's passion, simplicity and sincerity.
is also this frankness, so that his comedy movies will not bring huge value criticism like twists.
Low profile, hard work, strong enough learning ability, coupled with a considerable degree of luck, created the current Dapeng.
What is interesting is the attitude of the two works of Dapeng in the past two years:
"Pancake Man" after the big sales, I saw Dapeng's "I should be able to reach the level of Xu Zheng and Ning Hao" which is obviously too strong self-confidence;
The box office of "Sewing Machine Band" was lower than expected, and Dapeng went to great lengths to promote it. He could feel the grievance of "not being recognized", and was even so excited that he would "beat the critics."
After this, I think his motivation to do comedy has been hit somewhat.
So, thinking about it now, I can also understand why he is so urgent to make a transformation.
He wants to tear off his vulgar and comedy label. Therefore,
continued to cooperate with big directors. Tsui Hark, Wong Kar-wai, Feng Xiaogang, and Stephen Chow, learned from them;
directed a short film about the complexity and entanglement of the traditional Chinese family, and completely subverted his creative style;
took on black crime films, blacked out Pretending to be an ugly kidnapping for wealth, killing his wife and defrauding insurance, completely subverted the image.
In addition to these two new films this year, Dapeng will be screenedIn the list of works, there is "The Eleventh" directed by Chen Jianbin.
Looking at the trailer, the character still looks like a miserable little person.
Next year, there will be crime suspense films and style comedies such as "The Eighth Suspect" and "The Big Winner".
here, Dapeng’s ten-year leap over , the magnitude is really a bit scary:
talk show host, to self-made web drama;
to become a film director, making comedy feature films;
to transition to serious themes, To the Golden Horse award.
looks smooth, but I think Dapeng still wants more.

To tell the truth, the Dapeng after "Sewing Machine Band" and my expectations are really inconsistent.
When I saw Dapeng for the first time, I felt that he looked like two comedians. Many people should feel the same about
:
Xu Guanwen and Huang Baiming.
They were almost the two most famous comedians in Hong Kong that year.
Of course I know that Dapeng does not possess the creative talent and vision of these two comedies, so I even recognize his master, Zhao Benshan, who gave Dapeng the definition:
Dapeng’s greatest feature is lack of characteristics.
His image is too ordinary, neither handsome nor ugly, lacking recognition.
is therefore destined to not be able to follow Stephen Chow's comedy route, or even happy twist.
has the advantages of having no characteristics and no characteristics, namely:
can become anyone without any violation.
This point is fully demonstrated in "Men's Cock".
Why is Dapeng's crude web drama being remembered by everyone and laying the foundation for all subsequent successes?
is suitable.
From another angle, why was he overwhelmed by Ou Hao and Liu Yan in "Risk in the Dark" and "The Beneficiary"?
is inappropriate.
In order to transform, Dapeng took off his glasses.
I think, is going to go further, he needs to wear his glasses back.
is more suitable for him than the little people who are desperate for survival, who are caught in the middle, who can't get up, and taste the warmth of the world.
For example, the justice of the king in "I'm Not Pan Jinlian". The character style of
is basically the same as the classic screen image of Xu Guanwen and Huang Baiming.
As a post-80s, with age, there will be more and more suitable roles for Dapeng in the future, especially comedy roles.
His possibilities in comedy are still broad enough.
So, maybe Dapeng himself doesn't think so, or many people don't necessarily agree, but I really think:
he was born for comedy. After the precipitation of
, after removing those vulgar and stereotypes, why can't we produce high-level comedies that reveal the color of life?
puts those ugly and hand-to-hand efforts on comedy that suits you, how great.
has said so much, maybe it is a chicken soup:
lower your posture, redouble your efforts, and find your place.
Dapeng has already achieved two thirds. He may already understand how to do the last third, or he may not.
I will look forward to that result.
