In this summer season, what kind of movies can attract audiences to rush into the theater? Shen Teng and Ma Li , the national comedy cps, have reunited to bring a brand new movie " Catch a Baby ".
Ten years ago, their "Charlotte Troubles " introduced us to Happy Twist. Ten years later, their "Catch a Baby" box office exceeded 150 million on the first day of screening, breaking the box office within 4 days of release. It has earned over 1 billion, and its reputation has exploded. I didn’t expect that the sequel after so many years would still be so dazzling. This time, Happy Twist did not disappoint the audience. "Catch a Baby" has laughter, tears, and content. It is the biggest surprise of this summer.
1. The "Chinese-style parent" under the touch of comedy
Ma Chenggang, played by Shen Teng, was originally a big boss, but then the scene changed and he and his wife were living in a poor and broken house, wearing tattered cotton pants, and living a tight life. Baba.
In fact, they live a "double-sided life." Their family is so poor that they have no food to eat, but in fact they drink high-end coffee, carry limited-edition Hermès, and entertain guests with high-end cigars. This is the illusion of "poverty" deliberately created by Lao Ma at all costs in order to train his son.
Since his son Ma Jiye became sensible. Lao Ma always teaches his son to study more, get into a prestigious school, and bring honor to his family. Under pressure from his father, Ma Jiye got up early every day and ran to school, not daring to live up to his family's expectations.
Lao Ma adheres to the principle of "No matter how poor you are, you can't afford education, and if you want hardship, it's hard for your children." He even hired someone to pretend to meet Xiao Ma on his way to and from school and teach him knowledge. Even the grandma lying on the bed is fake, she is an actor hired by Lao Ma with money. The purpose of Lao Ma and his wife is not to be really poor, but to stimulate Xiao Ma's potential in this way.
Even when Ma Jiye grew up, the old Ma couple had to keep weaving lies, and they had to work hard to cover up the lies every time they broke into gangs, which caused a lot of jokes.
Compared with the first two "Charlotte Troubles" and " West" "The Richest Man in Hong City " and "Catch a Baby" have a broader theme. The first two mainly talk about life and wealth, while this one adds elements of education and growth.
Although the theme of the movie is education and growth, the focus is still on family ties.
Lao Ma and his wife are typical "Chinese-style parents." Their worries are also troubled by many Chinese parents. They are worried that their children will suffer hardship, and they are also afraid that their children will not be able to endure the suffering.
This is the most profound part of "Catch a Baby", although it uses comedy to cover up the parents' excessive control and highlights their good intentions. But the director still criticized their deceptive education methods through Ma Jiye's story.
2. "Shen Ma" teamed up with the gold medal team
and the original team of "Charlotte Troubles" gathered together. The combination of Shen Ma and Yan Peng and other twist comedians are guaranteed to make you laugh!
Many viewers came to watch "Catch a Baby" because of Shen Teng and Ma Li, but there are actually two people in the movie who cannot be ignored, and that is Yan Fei and Peng Damo.
These two people are the originators of "Charlotte Troubles". Three years later, they filmed "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which also received a box office of 2.5 billion. "Catch a Baby" is their third collaboration, and they continue to use the previous Xihong City IP. The director also deliberately connected the three movies together, such as the flash of Qiu Yalu, the football genius Wang Duoyu, and the little surprise at the end.
Moreover, "Catch a Baby" is the second time that Shen Teng and Ma Li share the same screen after 10 years of separation in Xihong City. Whether it's a sketch, a variety show or a movie, "Shen Ma" is always what everyone is looking forward to the most. These two top-grossing actors and actresses in film history have a perfect chemistry and are a perfect match in the comedy world!
and Shen Teng’s comedy performance this time is still on point. Compared to Wang Duoyu, who is cunning and cunning as a low-level person, Ma Chenggang appears more calm.
For example, he is always calm and calm when facing other people's doubts; he is also able to deal with his wife's nonsense. His sense of humor comes largely from the way he "gasps" when his plans fail.
After "Han Teng Liang", now there is "Shen Ma's same frame rate". Maybe it's because everyone hasn't gotten over the same frame scene of Shen Teng and Ma Li in " Walking Alone on the Moon ", so this time they The same frame rate is directly full, which is a feast for the eyes!
This time they have hidden a lot of Easter eggs in and out of the play, and coupled with the setting of a loving couple, it is really sweet. This movie is both fun and touching, and is basically suitable for all ages! The combination of jokes and emotions, there are still many little unlocked details waiting to be discovered.
If you are just looking for a place to relax, then "Catch a Baby" is definitely worth the money! After a hard week of work or study, come to the theater and laugh for two hours!
