On May 17, the online movie "A Big Future" was released for a full day. The film stars Bao Beier, Mingdao , Han Yunyun, Baduo and Yin Ziwei. The story tells the absurd story of several people trying to survive in a closed tunnel. Because this movie is a survival narrative in a closed space, it is very similar to the recent controversial " There is nothing that a hot pot cannot solve" . This "Big Future" is very suitable for "Hot Pot" director Ding Sheng to learn from.
In "A Big Future", Bao Beier plays a middle-aged "Leseer" who is eventually rejected by his wife because he lives a mediocre life and has nothing to do. After the divorce, he becomes the brother-in-law of his ex-husband. The ex-husband tried to commit suicide by turning on the gas in the room. However, the gas bill was so expensive that the gas was cut off due to arrears even after being turned on for a while. By the way, is the narrative background of this movie Chongqing?
After "surviving the catastrophe", the male protagonist decided to take revenge on his ex-wife's current husband. Then, there was a scene of a car chase on the highway. Ming Dao plays the current incumbent, who is tall, handsome and rich. He drives a trot and enters the tunnel. The male protagonist played by Bao Beier follows in. However, the tunnel collapsed and the two were trapped in the tunnel. Then, a grudge battle and a group self-rescue battle unfolded in a closed space.
The following scenes in "A Big Future" have a sense of absurdity. For example, the protagonist played by Ming Dao wants to use his knowledge of wilderness survival, so he turns on urine drinking mode. While the others actually had beer to drink, he was the only one who drank urine. This kind of shitty comedy baggage is reasonable, so the comedy effect is obvious.
In the closed space, this group of people are waiting for rescue. This setting is also reasonable. This is what Ding Sheng, the director of "Hot Pot", should learn most. The most important point of narrative in a closed space is that although the narrative space is closed, the characters need to have the original power to break the closed space. Without this power, the tension in a play cannot be released. "Hot Pot" lacks this kind of narrative tension that breaks the closed space. In "Big Future", this group of people have been trying to break the closed space and escape.
In order to escape, this group of people can only do various things. For example, driving a car carrying a load of beer to a safe area to avoid falling rocks and injuring the driver. For example, when encountering gangsters and ferocious crocodiles, this group of people need to face these two violent elements and eventually eliminate them, etc. In the second half of "A Promising Life," gangsters and crocodiles become the main narrative driving forces. This kind of narrative is slightly less absurd. If the second half of the film had a better narrative thrust, it could have been a comedy masterpiece.
In this film, Han Yunyun plays a beautiful young woman who escapes from marriage. She is the most beautiful thing in this movie. In fact, movie narratives in closed spaces like to create an eye-catching beauty. In Ding Sheng's "Hot Pot", Yang Mi took on this role. But Yang Mi is not eye-catching enough in "Hot Pot". On the contrary, in "A Big Future", Han Yunyun's shoulders and head were exposed, and all the female attractions of this drama were revealed.
The main reason this drama is good is that it portrays women, but it does not make women a vase, but gives the female characters more role tasks and comedy lines. In "A Big Future", many of Han Yunyun's lines are full of laughter. This comedian is also very familiar with this type of performance. It can be said that Han Yunyun is responsible for half of the laughs in this movie.
The remaining laughter was brought by Mingdao and Bado. Especially Ming Dao, whose tone of voice is not up to par and is not good enough to control the character in Mandarin. But, as it happens, in this drama, Mingdao's accent is needed to prove that he is different. Especially when this character is pretentious, it can be said that there are frequent jokes.
The film "A Great Future" also has its failings. Bao Beier can be called the only failure of the film. As for the script and character, there is no problem. There was a big problem with Bao Beier's performance.Bao Beier is good at controlling some very bad rich second-generation characters. If he is asked to play this "Luser" role, his ability is obviously insufficient. In the film, the laughter of other characters is very natural, but Bao Beier is still a fan of Geying. In the movie
, if actors such as Pan Binlong were used to play the role played by Bao Beier, there might be unexpected comedy effects. Bao Beier still doesn't care about his acting. Even though the character setting in the script is very good, he still doesn't care about it and doesn't work hard. Apart from him, there is nothing negative to say about the movie "A Promising Life". (Text/Ma Qingyun)
