As soon as the movie " Catch a Baby " was released, this summer season finally became lively.
Shen Teng+Ma Li, even if it is a bad movie, there are still many viewers who are willing to walk into the cinema to smell it. At present, the box office performance of "Catch a Baby" has also reached the first place, with a box office of 400 million in one day after it was launched.
Judging from the first wave of word-of-mouth reviews after the screening of "Catch a Baby", this movie really marks that Shen Teng once again kicked open the door of Chinese comedy.
According to data, "Catch a Baby" has just been released and has received a high score of 7.5 points from over 70,000 reviews. By the standards of comedy themes, this score is definitely considered a ceiling score
And in terms of the main plot line Look, "Catch Me" is like a parenting version of "The Truman Show."
There are constant laughs, "Catch a Baby" is hilarious throughout, and it's worth the price.
Ma Chenggang (played by Shen Teng), who has become useless after practicing the large number, in order to train his youngest son to become his successor, he forged a house in the old house where he once grew up. scam.
The poor father, the hard-working mother, the bedridden grandma and the broken him. The younger son Ma Jiye had to run five kilometers to go to school, and his self-esteem had to be crushed by his classmates' luxury cars after school. All of this was a scam created by Ma Chenggang to temper Ma Jiye.
As Ma Jiye grew up, more and more loopholes appeared in this scam. When the scam was exposed, an educational proposition about "good for you" became the highlight of "Catch a Baby".
But before it really makes people cry, "Catch a Baby" is truly hilarious and full of surprises.
There are too many ridiculous plots in the movie that made the audience laugh out loud. A family was reading a book in a small living room. After accidentally turning off the lights, their parents and even grandma all had a blue light on their faces. The light reflected from the mobile phone screen dazzled them. A hologram like an out-of-body experience.
Dad spoke with sincerity and taught Ma Jiye the value of "the importance of reading to change your destiny."
Ma Jiye’s soul asked, “Why is our family so poor in reading so much?”
's sentence made the whole audience burst into laughter. For a brief second, Ma Chenggang was also stunned by the question. He was confused for a second and then quickly made up for it.
This kind of plot almost runs through the entire movie.
The grandma who was pretending to be lame was brought to the door of "Hao De Lao" by Ma Jiye to eat snacks. When Ma Jiye turned around, the shameless grandma ran away. The moment she came down the stairs, the grandma stood on the spot, looking frighteningly strong.
When Ma Jiye grew up, he was driven home by his teacher, only to see his bedridden grandma playing basketball on the basketball court. After a beautiful shot, Ma Jiye was stunned.
The two looked at each other briefly, and grandma ran away. When I saw grandma running a big hurdle, I couldn't help it.
In terms of comedy baggage, the plot of "Catch a Baby" is very dense, very powerful, and very funny.
As a comedy, the laughter and tears in this movie are very natural. The whole movie watching process can be said to be full of laughter. The movie jointly made by Shen Teng and Ma Li is really different.
Of course, the plot and comedy baggage are on the one hand, and the shaping of the actors is the key.
Shen Teng returned to his comfort zone, and it was a surprise to have powerful actors to help him.
Shen Teng's comedy rhythm has always been the ceiling among comedians, but since " The Richest Man in Xihong City ", all the movies starring Shen Teng have begun to be serious. route.
" Manjianghong " is about righteousness, " Flying Life 2" is about dreams and passion, and " Walking Alone on the Moon " is about loneliness and sacrifice. In these movies, Shen Teng plays with abstraction, but there is always some realistic tragedy.
But "Catch a Baby" is different. Shen Teng in this movie is amusing the audience from beginning to end.Even at the last moment, when the scam was exposed, Ma Jiye began to doubt himself and turned around to leave. Tears began to well up in the eyes of the audience, but when the camera turned to Shen Teng, they saw him crying and sobbing, "Are you going home for dinner tonight?" "
There is no reason why Shen Teng is not funny when he is so funny. The hilarious moments in the movie "Catch a Baby" are all inseparable from Shen Teng's extra effort.
As for the addition of tacit partner Ma Li, the comedy aspect of "Catch a Baby" has skyrocketed.
In the drama, Chunlan, played by Ma Li, is a very delicate rich lady. Her love for her son is delicate and heavy, but her love for bags is also the same.
Saw her son being bullied and insulted by classmates from the surveillance camera. Chunlan was furious and could not breathe. As a mother, of course she felt distressed. Even when her husband handed her a Hermès bag, she angrily said, "Who?" I want your broken bag."
But the next second, the bag was hanging on Chunlan’s neck. From the broken mother to the exquisite lady who regards the bag as her life, Ma Li played the role’s contrast just right, and the audience was not disappointed from the beginning to the end. I had doubts about my mother's love for Ma Jiye.
What also surprised the audience was actress Sarina . As a powerful actor, Sarina has almost become a representative figure in the drama of bitter love. Sarina in "人世" made people cry, and her comedy style is slightly different. In the ridiculous "Catch a Baby", the audience is really not suitable.
But it is obvious that Sarina's own performance style has changed very naturally. She plays the role of a grandmother who loves her children. She has gray hair and speaks sincerely. While talking about the principles of life, she does not forget to vomit blood, which makes the audience feel real emotions.
Just when Ma Jiye was crying, Grandma took a sip of Coke from Ka's perspective. This behavior was very inconsistent with the image of teacher Sarina, but Sarina acted very naturally, and the audience laughed even more happily.
In addition to these starring actors, there are also some comedians in "Catch a Baby" who support the supporting roles. The little boss played by Jia Bing wants to fund Ma Jiye's schooling, but of course Ma Chenggang, who pretends to be poor, does not allow this. Something out of control happened, and there was a dramatic scene where Chunlan ordered a Cohiba in Lao Po and gave it to Mr. Jia.
When Jia Bing murmured "西八" to himself, the whole audience burst into laughter, and Jia Bing also became the highlight of the movie even though he didn't have many scenes.
In addition, actors Wei Xiang, Li Zongheng, and Li Jiaqi are all eye-catching supporting characters when they appear in "Catch a Baby", supporting the comedy quality of the drama "Catch a Baby".
In short, many comedians appeared, adding interest to "Catch a Baby" while not taking away the halo of the protagonist. For such a movie with a brilliant cast, interesting characters and script, it’s no wonder it became an instant hit upon release.
Of course, "Catch a Baby" has just been released, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the movie's box office and reputation. The audience enjoyed watching it, and the box office of the theaters is also rising sharply. Now it seems that the only thing that is a little bit disappointed is the film's "Catch a Baby" "Doll" is a movie that has hit the schedule.
