On the 9th day of its release, " Catch a Baby " has undoubtedly been a slam dunk for 12 consecutive days, and the box office has soared to more than 1.8 billion.
Obviously, if Happy Mahua wants to stand up, it will take one brother and one sister to fight.
However, it seems that the situation is great, but fans have already become ants on the hot pot.
Click to open the official blog, and almost every dynamic comment area after the release is full of "curses" .
Through the text, you can feel that the majority of fans simply hate iron and steel. Publicity and distribution cannot keep up. Later movies have begun to be screened again, and the data seems to have sluggishly increased.
Of course, netizens’ urgency is not groundless.
Although blockbusters such as " safely evacuates from the 21st century", " under the stranger " and " decrypting ", it seems that they are not on the same track as "Catch a Baby".
However, there is a film that is also a summer comedy blockbuster -
" Retrograde Life "
Even though it was released in early August, it has already begun to enter the promotion period, and even CCTV has come out to support it.
Realistic themes, released in the summer, it seems not very popular.
You can click on the latest trailer of "Retrograde Life". I am really touched by all the good actors.
Xu Zheng and Xin Zhilei play the husband and wife, which is really realistic
Every time Xu Zheng has a new movie released, when listening to him explain his views on film arrangement or casting, although there have been no masterpieces in several years, I have to admit that the top directors in the Chinese film market , he definitely has a share.
Xu Zheng understands life and even more about the lives of ordinary people.
He knows how to make all kinds of characters vivid and real, and at the same time, he uses his extraordinary acting skills to fully demonstrate his understanding of the characters.
In "Retrograde Life", Gao Zhilei, played by Xu Zheng, resigned from the management with impatience and had no choice but to work as an errand boy.
In the play, Xu Zheng portrayed the embarrassment of not adapting to the change of identity extremely well.
It is a habit of being incompatible with the people around you. Every move is all about details. Coupled with the interpretation of the supporting characters, the strong contrast makes the character's personality more prominent.
And in this kind of movie, the heroine who is supposed to act as a pendant is also played by Xin Zhilei.
Yes, Xu Zheng and Xin Zhilei, two seemingly unrelated actors, actually played the role of husband and wife in "Retrograde Life".
and Li Li in " Blossoms " are completely different.
Her hair is messy and her makeup is light. Her whole body is full of exhaustion, but at the same time, she also has the strength of a wife.
With a blockbuster drama and a popular variety show at her disposal, Xin Zhilei actually does not need to play such a role that tears down the baggage of her image.
However, during the interview, her words made me instantly become a fan of this girl -
"If you only stick to one type of role and only understand this part of women, then who can understand the other part of women?" What about them? "
Xin Zhilei and Xu Zheng's performance styles are quite consistent.
This time two powerful actors have joined forces. I have a hunch that they have contributed another "model couple" to the film market.
The former comedy star returns, with a unique actress to help out.
"Retrograde Life" has already won more than half of the votes in terms of casting.
And it can also be seen that Xu Zheng has gradually added interesting female characters since he used to be a "big male protagonist" or "male group portrait" in movies.
Wang Xiao’s appearance and spirit are so surprising. This time he is unreasonable and can’t be tolerated.
In fact, most of the audience were originally looking forward to Xu Zheng or Xin Zhilei and were full of expectations for "Retrograde Life".
I never expected that when Wang Xiao and were unveiled, I was stunned in place.
I believe everyone already knows that this movie tells the story of a delivery boy.
Since you want to play the role of a delivery boy well, you must first break through yourself in terms of image.
I thought Wang Xiao would break through, but I really didn’t expect this brother to be so willing to do so.
is dressed like this, and her face is full of vicissitudes of life and even has traces of weathering and sun exposure.
The clothes are also wrinkled, and I don’t even know how many years they have been wearing the sleeves.
With just a few stills, who can tell who this guy is?
If you think the above two pictures are not strong enough, then when you see his image displayed in all directions later, you can’t help but admire him.
was wearing a black sweater, and the sleeves of the gray autumn coat seemed to be exposed. He was holding a steamed bun in his hand and kept picking up side dishes.
raised his head and looked at his face.
Good guy, even if you walk on the street, I’m afraid no one will recognize that this guy is a well-known actor.
His hair hadn’t been cut for an unknown amount of time. From his face to his neck, it was dark and rough. He looked more like a passerby than a passerby.
Every time I watch Wang Xiao act, I feel that he has a kind of magic power.
Whether he is a stubborn straight man, a professional elite or even a fairy from ancient operas, even if the subject matter is too confusing, this guy can always play the role with great charisma.
plays a delivery boy this time, which is completely more amazing than his previous role.
Rolling up my sleeves and eating dumplings, I felt like I had been working for several days and was exhausted, but I still had to put in the last effort to finish the meal.
In fact, when he received Xu Zheng’s invitation, Wang Xiao was still filming other works.
After hearing Xu Zheng's brief introduction to the work and the character, Wang Xiao only said three words:
"Okay, I'll go."
The simple answer was just like the effort Wang Xiao put into the character. Vigorous.
It turns out that good actors really live in their characters.
With different roles, even the smallest differences can be infinitely magnified.
Looking at the scenes of Wang Xiao in the trailer, and looking at his eloquent talk about his understanding of the character during the interview, he has really achieved "two people inside and outside the play".
can only achieve this level by integrating his soul into the character, having rich life experience, and excellent acting skills.
The "old stingy" played by Wang Xiao has a very sad setting, but his attitude towards life is extremely optimistic, and he is very stingy.
I have a hunch that after "Retrograde Life" is released, this character will definitely break out of the industry.
In addition, it’s time for Wang Xiao to win a decent award!
Conclusion
Of course, in addition, there are other excellent actors in "Retrograde Life".
For example, in order to present the best effect, he went directly to experience life. He was met by the audience while running a single and rushed to deliver food. Feng Bing and so on.
In fact, when watching this kind of realistic film, what the audience fears most is sensationalism.
was obviously titled as a comedy, but everyone watched it happily, but ended up crying to the point of falling asleep. This summer vacation was really awkward.
However, Xu Zheng's simple words directly gave everyone reassurance:
"I don't want to play such a character with a lot of bitterness and hatred."
Indeed, the audience's film style directed by Xu Zheng, And the state of his own performance couldn't be clearer.
What he is best at is digging into the hearts of little people and using interaction to create laughter, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
It’s just that there is competition, and the result will definitely be that some will laugh and some will be sad. It’s hard to say whether they can beat “Catch a Baby”.
I wonder if you are looking forward to Director Xu’s new film?
