Speaking of director Ding Sheng, it's somewhat embarrassing. Due to the lack of representative works, the most famous work so far is still " Save Mr. My ", and it is Wang Qianyuan's crazy villain output that makes people remember it.
Ding Sheng is a director who has not played his cards well. He directed " Tough Guys " as soon as he debuted, and gathered a number of big names, including producer Wang Jing, starring Liu Ye, Sun Honglei, Huang Qiusheng, You Zhiyong, Yu Rongguang, Huang Jingfu et al. The first part was obviously not very good, but because of the protection of the powerful "Third Master" Han Sanping, he continued filming "Tough Guys 2".
"Third Master" Han Sanping was the boss of China Film Group at the time and the biggest name in the Chinese film industry at that time. No one dared not deny his face. With his support, Ding Sheng, whose two "Tough Guys" movies were not popular, continued to work with Jackie Chan to film "Little Soldiers" and " Police Story 2013". Although the quality of the film is average, it is because of the excellent resources that people have remembered his name.
Then, in 2015, he came up with "Rescue Mr. My".
is popular, finally.
In terms of story, "Rescue Mr. My Life" is actually average, but the details are very good, the plot is tight, the rhythm is relaxed, and the performance is very attractive, especially the acting. Andy Lau doesn't have much to say, he is quite satisfactory, but he plays the villain Wang Qianyuan gave one of the best performances of his career, bringing an arrogant gangster to life and becoming a film and television classic.
"Rescue Mr. My" is also Ding Sheng's best-performing movie so far. Although he later remade two big IPs, "Railway Tiger" and " A Better Tomorrow", they were all unsuccessful, ruining classics and not as good as "Rescuing Mr. My Life".
Ding Sheng’s resources seem to be almost exhausted by himself, and no new films have been released since 2019. On May Day this year, I didn’t expect him to quietly come up with a movie called " There’s Nothing a Hotpot Can’t Solve" . Although there was a lack of top box office stars, a group of second-tier movies came together to make it look great.
Ding Sheng is about to turn over.
Although Yang Mi sounds great, she cannot attract box office in the film industry, and her influence is far behind that of Jia Ling, Ma Li, Zhou Dongyu, Zhou Xun and others. As for Yu Qian, Yu Ailei, Li Jiuxiao, and Tian Yu, they are just supporting roles, but none of them have the ability to carry the box office. But just such a group of supporting actors, gathered together, actually performed "There is nothing a hot pot can't solve".
First of all, "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by Hot Pot" is very interesting. Four thieves, wearing masks, broke into the house of the director of the demolition office and stole a money box. Just when they thought they were going to make a fortune, accidents began to happen, one after another.
The reversal of the film begins from this, one after another, which is dizzying. The whole story is full of twists and turns and is full of fun.
Among the movies in recent years, "Nothing Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" is somewhat similar to " Get Famous " and " A Great Night ". It feels like a script, with a small pattern and constant reversals. , it is difficult to make a wonderful film, but as a senior director, Ding Sheng’s skillful directing skills, using editing and soundtrack, make the whole story very interesting, and the grade is obviously higher than that of "Famous" and "Amazing Night" Much. The latter two are obviously the work of a new director. They are full of immaturity and not advanced, so they were only lively when they were released, but became quiet after being released, and did not become classics.
"There is nothing that cannot be solved by a hot pot", but it can withstand chewing and is worth re-watching. Nothing else, just fun.
has no depth, and Ding Sheng is not good at it. He is at most a qualified commercial film director, but a craftsman-type director. Fortunately, this time, after five years of training, his skills have returned to the level of "Rescue Mr. My". In "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot", every detail has been polished very meticulously and is very eye-catching.
Under the article "The Yellow Bird Behind" two days ago, a friend left a message saying that this film and " The Last Truth " have a good foundation. The implication is that it can be made better, but it is a pity. I safely agree that there is a lack of high-quality genre film directors in China. Chen Sicheng is one of them, and there is no one else besides him.
If you only watch "Rescue Mr. My Life" and "Nothing Can't Be Solved by Hot Pot", Ding Sheng is completely a high-quality genre film director. Unfortunately, he has too many bad films, his level fluctuates and his performance is unstable. , it is difficult to stand firm.
But this time, Ding Sheng did perform well. "Nothing Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" is a better film than "Rescue Mr. My Life". The villain in "Rescue Mr. Me" is average and good, but the positive role is just average. In "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot", every actor who appeared gave a great performance, their characters were all standing up, and their background stories could be told. There were many characters, but they were very focused and not at all. The whole story is very compact. The suspense setting is also very clever, and it doesn't collapse even after it is unlocked, which is better than most films of the same type. Moreover, the setting of suspense and comedy is also very pleasing. Chen Sicheng is not better than Chen Sicheng.
I won’t spoil the details, but you can go watch it. This should be the most exciting movie this May Day. The performance of several actors cannot be said to be good, but they are all online. Yu Qian can be regarded as winning the Best Actor Award for "Hello Teacher", while Yu Ailei and Li Jiuxiao already have acting skills. The performances of Tian Yu and Huang Xiaolei are not bad, both are just right, and the characters and the actor's temperament are quite closely matched. Even Yang Mi's performance was not bad. At least she didn't stretch her hips or hold her back. She completed her role reasonably and satisfactorily, and there were even some highlights that occasionally broke out. There is nothing particularly outstanding about the entire
movie, but it is all online and everyone is online, which is not easy. At least, you won’t suffer a loss if you watch this movie on May Day.
