A pre-determined hot model is misfired.
Sir's expectation is "Little Medicine God".

new director's debut feature film, produced by Ning Hao, produced by Bad Monkey. The same formula for

reality absurd + comedy + tears.

come to talk today-
"beneficiary"
is currently 6.7 on Douban, which is far behind 9.0 of "I am not the God of Medicine". The box office of
has just exceeded 100 million, and the distance of 3.1 billion is far away.
's desire to reproduce "I am not a medicine god" has gone far.
Objectively speaking, "The Beneficiary" is still remarkable as a debut work.
But in terms of explosive models.
The difference between "looks like" and "really explosive" is a thousand miles away. The biggest mistake of
is that the
"bad monkey" is not bad enough this time.
This is the prerequisite for the establishment of the whole story, otherwise it would not be able to bear such a real malice-
killed his wife and cheated insurance.
Wu Hai (played by Dapeng) was instigated by his friend Zhong Zhenjiang (played by Zhang Zixian) to get acquainted with the network female anchor Yue Miaomiao (played by Liu Yan) in order to treat his son. The stories all revolve around "scams", beginning with a rehearsal of a scam, and finally ending with a scam.

must expose the dark side of the protagonist to a certain extent in order to be able to convince people to promote the story.
But the problem with "Beneficiaries" is. The character of
Dapeng is so kind (stupid) that the audience didn't believe that he would really kill his wife from the beginning, so there was no suspense and no fear for the people in the play.
His son has asthma and he wants to take him to Hainan with good air.
needs money.
He watches Internet cafes during the day and drives on behalf of him at night. He steals food from the self-service hot pot restaurant to improve his son's life.
But there is no necessary connection between making money and killing people.
We can't see Dapeng's "have to", we can only see his more "reluctant".
He was pushed away by a real "bad guy" in the film-
accountant old clock.
He misappropriated public funds and checked it from the upper level, and the knife was about to fall on him.
In order to fill the hole, he goes to work in the daytime, and in the evening he joins Wu Hai to find a car owner who specializes in contacting porcelain, but how can he make up more than 10 million in a mere salary?
then moved the crooked brain to the female anchor Yue Miaomiao.
This is the embarrassment of "Beneficiary".
It dared not make the protagonist bad enough, and threw the bad pot to the supporting role.

If the protagonist is too bad, then according to the iron law of "criminals must be arrested" in domestic films, how will it end?
on the play.
If the protagonist is too bad, how can we redeem him so that the audience can forgive him?
These two difficulties, "Beneficiary" has no good solutions.
So the audience saw its far-fetched.
In order to allow the sea to be forgiven, the heroine was arranged with a person who is almost "white lotus".
Miaomiao was in the restaurant, waved his hand and ordered the most expensive seafood.

But in fact, almost all of her income is used to keep her sick father, and she can't even pay the rent. The character
is equivalent to a new era "Song Girl"-

Dapeng cheated on marriage and concealed that he had a son.
She forgave her and paid for the air purifier for her son with asthma.
until after discovering all the evils of Dapeng and Lao Zhong.
She even forgives. why
?
We can't see a reasonable explanation.
Sir does not believe that the screenwriter is delivering a greasy view of marriage and love, and is a "straight male cancer" that blindly requires women to have no complaints and no regrets in the face of all betrayals. The character
is just twisting, just twisting the whole movieThe concentrated expression of Bar-
screenwriter, in order to make the story justified, had to sacrifice part of the rationality, hypnotize a certain character, and make him lose his motivation.
Of course, "The Beneficiary" does not choose soft eggs from beginning to end.
In some passages, Sir still feels sharp.

Lao Zhong pretended to be a cadre of the Cyberspace Administration of China and came to check Yue Miaomiao.
When talking about spreading obscene content, he deliberately "clicked" Miaomiao-
probably meant, "The spread is not spread, it's not a matter of my word."
This is the people and officials.
also has a sinful smell.
The knife hanging over his head killed the boss of Lao Zhong. In the pouring rain, the wiper brushed blood. No matter how good
hides evil, there will always be clues.
This is crime and punishment.
There is no doubt that "The Beneficiary" was shot with cold realism.
But what it did not capture is the thickness and strength of reality.
talked about Lao Zhong.
, as the central figure in the collection of the core contradictions of the whole film, Lao Zhong is obviously good at calculating.
When Wu Hai stole the hot pot restaurant's food and ran away embarrassedly, Lao Zhong, as the one who also ate the King’s meal, quietly packed up and left calmly.
He is also vicious. In order to deceive Wu Hai’s gratitude and trust,
puts Wu Hai’s son Xiao You in danger.
Lao Zhong is the person who most desperately wants to get money.
but.
took his deep intention not to cheat the marriage himself, but to let himself be honest and embarrassed to be the protagonist of the cheating marriage, which obviously couldn't convince the audience.
Maybe you have to say that he was trying to take himself out and let Wu Hai take the risk. Don't forget
, the direct executor of the project is Lao Zhong, not Wu Hai.
This is also why, this story adapted from the Phuket case of real wife murder and deception, lacks the power to move people's hearts.
It is avoiding the main conflict.
instead put more pen and ink on presenting the jokes in the process of cheating and being cheated.
comedy, there is nothing wrong with being cheerful.
However, the loopholes in the relationship between the characters make the color of this story close to simple, failing to present a more complex spectrum of human nature.

"The Beneficiary" is an excellent comedy, does it convey Ning Hao's black humor?

was so angry that he almost fell on the ground.
For example, Miaomiao began to believe that Wu Hai was a scumbag, because the other party didn't pay for the first date.
You will find that at first, her "female" temperament in tier 7 or 8 cities is so close to our real life.
She is like every one of us has, a friend who behaves aggressively and aggressively, but is a bit ignorant and a bit suspected.
There are many classics in the film.
Old Zhong’s discussion of men’s soft and hard, although greasy (because the character itself is very greasy), but it makes people smile:
man
under a hard
z0 z heart is softunder a soft
z0 z heart is hardWu Hai Going for the ligation operation, after seeing the popular science knowledge on the hospital wall, Old Zhong was trembling again, which caused a new round of misunderstanding that made people laugh and cry.
At the end of the film, the sense of comedy has reached its peak.
It can be said that the audience has taken all the burdens thrown by "Beneficiaries", and the director has supported the skeleton of the whole movie comedy.
Therefore, as a comedy, it turned in a qualified answer.
but.
In addition, it cannot bring more thinking to the viewer.
"The Beneficiary" meets the standard of humor, but the "black" is not available.
When the story comes to an end, everyone is heading towards the fate they dare not face but will eventually face.
look back and you will find that their inner struggle did not tear out the pain, but was overtaken by the farce.
and even "The Beneficiary" finally forcibly added a bright tail.
When the final scene freezes on Miaomiao’s face, it’s no wonder the audience understands after watchingThere is dissatisfaction, with emotion:
she is too virgin too.
"The Beneficiary" has very gentle strokes on the characters.
Of course, this is also the unique personal style of the director's Olympic bid. After
watched the screening screening by Sir, a fan described the young director like this:
If Ning Hao is a stubborn stone, then the Olympic bid is a dust covered with dew.
This is also a good summary of the "beneficiary" characteristics of "excess warmth, insufficient strength".
But it is also valuable.
is valuable. The director wedges his own expression into this story in a reversal way. Every character in
is a liar to varying degrees.
The old clock most wanted to cheat a huge sum of money, but he was self-defeating.
Wu Hai deceived Miaomiao's relationship and was saved by the relationship.
Yue Miaomiao advocates material things, but after marriage she has become a good wife and mother who is hardworking and thrifty.
It turns out that what she said I want a man who "has 100 yuan and is willing to pay me 99 yuan" is not entirely true. As the anchor,

changes all of this comes from human emotions. The "softness" of

In such a realistic story, he used warm brushstrokes to repaint all the black corners with warm background colors.
Therefore, when Yue Miaomiao faced the live broadcast and announced his withdrawal from the live broadcast, the scene was particularly moving.

That is the most precious heart of a woman.
has to say that in this play, Liu Yan completed the best performance of his career.
Dapeng even said that at a certain moment, he couldn't tell whether it was Miaomiao or Liu Yan. When
plays
to the end, I will always be in a trance.
But if you put a "Little Medicine God" hat on it, Sir would not agree.
From a practical point of view, "Beneficiary" is far from reaching the depth of "The God of Medicine".
The nail in "The God of Medicine" went down, pierced the bone and hit the tendon. What
"The Beneficiary" is doing is more like a line along the surface, smoothing the wounded texture.
Judging from the play, the conflict in "The Beneficiary" is also obviously weaker than that in "The God of Medicine". The whole story of

is not a single one.
Of course, for the debut, this work deserves to be recognized and seen.
It will bring you a bit of laughter.
will neither create the illusion of escape, nor provide weapons to pierce the illusion. After laughing, you still have to go back to the original world and continue to live a ridiculous or lamentable life.
