"Breaking Good Guys" tells the story of Zhang Beijing, a hutong uncle played by Ge You, and Xiaoqin, a "Beijing drifter" played by Li Xueqin, who became famous overnight on the Internet after they met each other. What kind of surprises and absurdities will happen when the older generation of Beijing men encounter Internet traffic?
At the beginning of the creative special, director Ning Hao said that the biggest difference between "Breaking Good Guys" and his previous movies: "It tells the small stories and cute people around me, which is somewhat different from the big-plot movies I made before. the difference". Telling a life comedy quietly is one of the creative ideas that director Ning Hao has always hoped for. The prototype of the character Zhang Beijing is screenwriter Wang Ang's third uncle - a very talkative taxi driver. Therefore, Zhang Beijing's humor, bluster, and inner fluctuations in the film will naturally make all viewers feel close and familiar. Xu Lei, one of the directors, also said that this time, Zhang Beijing was in trouble.
The special feature not only explains the original intention of the film and the prototype of Zhang Beijing, but also tells the story of "Old Beijing" meeting "New Beijing" behind this Hutong man's overnight fame on the Internet. The Internet has invaded our lives for a long time. How will Hutong men like Zhang Beijing cope with the impact of the new era? How will he deal with the "heavy traffic" that the Internet has brought to him? After Zhang Beijing's transformation into the Internet "rights activist" became popular, the boss of MCN Company also came to visit. Zhang Beijing saw the live broadcast base of Xiaolang Network: the light-belt arched passage, the dazzling live broadcast room and the navy darkroom. Not only did it greatly subvert the protagonists' understanding, but it also gave the audience many surprises and understandings. A laugh-out-loud plot.
The film not only features national-level comedians, but the director lineup also brings new expectations to the audience. This creation is the first time director Ning Hao has collaborated with young director Xu Lei to shoot a film. As a life comedy that tells the stories of little people, Zhang Beijing always faces new problems with his authentic attitude towards life, which also represents the kindness and optimism of little people. Director Ning Hao even mentioned that he actually likes filming such small characters and hopes to accompany everyone all the time.
Not only does the plot involve the conflict between "Old Beijing" and "New Beijing", but the art scene also has a blend of ancient and modern architecture. Galaxy Soho, which is full of technology, and the simple and elegant Zhihua Temple and Drum Tower, have the same sense of dislocation as the unexpectedly famous Zhang Beijing entered the online live broadcast base, which is strange and familiar. This is also the plot that people are most familiar with nowadays. There is no tragedy, joy, crying or laughing in the film. Some are light-hearted and humorous, depicting the ups and downs of daily life. Zhang Beijing seems to be an uncle in every family, and his story is the story of the people around us.
