If you want to ask, who are the two comedians in Mainland China who have the most popularity among the people and the most box office appeal? Then, the "Shen Ma Combination" - Shen Teng , Ma Li , who have collaborated on many Spring Festival Gala skits and big-screen classic comedy movies, must be doing their part!
No, Yan Fei and Peng Damo, the original creators behind the popular comedy movies " Charlotte's Trouble " and " The Richest Man in Xihong City ", once again co-directed and participated in the screenplay, and Shen Teng and Ma Li once again joined forces. The starring 2024 summer comedy masterpiece - " Catch a Baby " , has relied on its excellent reputation since its release to surpass " Silent Kill ", " Legend ", " Despicable Me 4" and "" "Tornado "...and many other summer blockbusters, it was the best in the world, and the box office hit exceeded 1.1 billion yuan!
Moreover, the film's final predicted total box office is expected to reach 3.704 billion yuan, surpassing the 2.55 billion yuan total box office result of Yan Fei and Peng Damo's previous film "The Richest Man in Xihong City". There is no suspense.
In addition, with Shen Teng and Ma Li's new film "Catch a Baby", the continuous fermentation of word-of-mouth (current Douban score of 7.4), and the fascination of many secret details, I believe that many viewers will watch this movie more than once .
Of course, the author is no exception. After watching the movie "Catch a Doll", I discovered that there is also a hidden meaning behind the name of the protagonist of ! It turns out that they are not taken casually.
1. Ma Chenggang (played by Shen Teng)
As for Ma Chenggang, the male protagonist and the rich generation played by Shen Teng in the movie, from his name, we can think of how difficult it was for him to become the "rich generation", and he can definitely be called a "rich generation". "Steel can be made into steel" ! But unfortunately, Ma Chenggang's history of arduous struggle was not shown in the movie.
Of course, the name "Ma Chenggang" is very consistent with his expectations for his two sons, especially for the eldest son "Ma Dajun" played by Zhang Zidong, which can be called "I hate iron but cannot make steel" !
2. Chunlan (played by Ma Li)
Chunlan, the heroine played by Ma Li and the biological mother of the core character "Ma Jiye" in the film, can be said to have inherited "Xihong City Universe" all the female characters. The consistent naming style of the main character, such as the heroine's name "Ma Dongmei" in "Charlotte's Sorrow", and then the heroine's name "Xia Zhu" in "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
In addition, let me talk about a little bit of trivia. According to the author's inquiry, Chunlan, a terrestrial herb, is native to Shandong in my country. The main filming location of the movie "Catch a Baby" is precisely in Qingdao, Shandong!
Everyone says, is this a coincidence or not?
3. "Grandma" Li Chunhua (played by Sarina)
In the movie, the "grandma" played by the "old drama star" Sarina, senior education expert - Li Chunhua, Teacher Li, whose name corresponds to the idiom "Chunhua Qiushi" , metaphorical meaning of literary talent and virtue, also extends to profound knowledge, high moral character and pure conduct, representing the cause and effect relationship of things.
From this point of view, in the movie, Teacher Li's final educational results for the protagonist's youngest son "Ma Jiye" are also quite ironic .
4. The youngest son Ma Jiye (played by Xiao Bochen and Shi Pengyuan respectively)
As the name suggests, as the core character of the whole film, the name "Jiye" of the people living in "The Truman Show" originally means "Jiye". It is said that his father "Ma Chenggang" spent so much time on "poverty-style" education because he hoped to train his younger son "Ma Jiye" to become a talent so that he could inherit the family business in the future.
But things went against expectations. After the truth was finally exposed, it became unknown whether 's youngest son "Ma Jiye" could successfully inherit the family business and become a qualified "successor" of the family industry..
5. The eldest son Ma Dajun (played by Zhang Zidong)
To be honest, in the movie, the eldest son who grew up in a doting environment and the half-brother of "Ma Jiye" - Ma Dajun, played by Zhang Zidong, has a function in the film. First, it is funny, and second, it is the "excellent" of his younger brother Ma Jiye who was educated in a different environment.
Moreover, the "Dajun" in the character's name seriously does not match the appearance and talents of the characters in the movie. It can be said that satirizes to the extreme.
6. "Zhang Feifei" played by Yoko Lame
In the movie, the friend of "Ma Jiye" - Zhang Feifei, played by Yoko Lame, also known as Li Jiaqi, the author believes that it is very likely to be a tribute or linkage to the movie "Flying Speed" In "Life " , the son of the male protagonist "Zhang Chi" played by Shen Teng is named "Zhang Fei". What do you think?
7. Uncle Zhou (played by Chen Bing), the neighbor who runs a bookstore
While watching the movie, I believe everyone has noticed that in the movie, as one of the neighbors of the "Ma Chenggang" family, he always wears a robe, exports into chapters , The man who also runs the Literary Ocean Bookstore - "Uncle Zhou" is paying homage to which famous writer in textbooks. I don't need to elaborate on it!
8. Jia Qiqiang (played by Zhou Qingyun)
In the movie, Boss Jia, played by Jia Bing, has his son's name - "Jia Qiqiang". Needless to say, everyone can guess that this is a joke about the 2023 domestic high-reputation explosion. "Gao Qiqiang", one of the male protagonists in the drama "Hurry Up" .
And the "Xu Jiang" played by Jia Bing in the TV series "Hurry" is the sworn enemy of the "Gao Qiqiang" played by Zhang Songwen in the drama. This time, it can be considered that in the movie "Catch a Baby", I barely saved some face.
