In August 2019, the movie "Party A and Party B 2" was launched low-key in Qingdao. When
saw the title, I was so excited that I thought Director Xiao Gang was going to make another sequel.
took a closer look and found that the cast starring Qiao Shan, Huang Cailun, Bai Ke and others, and the director changed from Feng Xiaogang to Zhu Lingfeng. Only then did I realize that it was just the same name, and the lizi had already changed a set. As soon as the news of
came out, it caused a lot of questions from netizens.
Under various condemnations of "Porcelain" and "impersonation", Zong Shan, the chief producer of "Party A and Party B 2" responded: "We have the complete copyright of "Party A and Party B". Comedy with heart.”
said she hopes that everyone can create some tolerance and space for the new generation of comedy masters, and leave all doubts to the "pregnancy". It is not difficult to imagine that the shooting of "Party A and Party B 2" caused such a strong reaction.
The 1997 classic New Year film, probably in the hearts of many people, will never be surpassed and erased-
"Party A and B"
"Party A and B" is adapted from Wang Shuo's novel "You are not a common man" , Directed by Feng Xiaogang, starring Ge You, Liu Bei, He Bing, Feng Xiaogang and others.
, which was released at the end of 1997 to welcome the 1998 New Year, won a box office of 36 million yuan, setting the highest box office record for domestic films in 1998.
Since this film, the concept of "New Year files" in China has been established for the first time, so "Party A and Party B" is also known as the pioneering work of Chinese New Year films. The
film tells the story of the four young people Yao Yuan, Zhou Beiyan, Qian Kang, and Liang Zi who started a business called "Good Dreams One Day Tour" in the summer of 1997 to help consumers live a day’s dream come true. .
"Good Dreams One Day Tour", the name does not sound like a sense of absurdity.
just started its trial operation and welcomed a group of even more whimsical customers.
A cook came to the store this day.
The cook is so inquiring, but he can't keep the secret, so he is very distressed.
He hopes that he can become a martyr who would rather die than surrender, and have the addiction of being forced to confess by torture and being heroic. Before starting
, the two parties had a discussion based on the specific details of the business.
For example, a cook will be tortured to extract a confession, but he is determined not to recruit, and he spit on the face of the interrogator.
, for example, the execution ground will be set up in a place where the scenery is beautiful and it is not surprising to sing opera, so as to leave room for customers to play freely.
The cook can also choose his own way, and even the layout of the execution ground can be customized according to his needs.
In order for the cook to successfully keep the secret, Yao Yuan, played by Ge You, came up with a bad move.
He told the cook to keep him a secret, and that sentence was:
"I won't tell you to kill me."
As a result, as soon as the cook was taken away to force a confession, he immediately confessed the secret, but was misunderstood. It would rather die than recruit. The folks from
didn't see a single wolf dog, and were shocked on the spot during the interrogation.
and many customers have special hobbies.
A domestic violence man found that his wife is always obedient to him, so he thinks that being angry should be a particularly enjoyable thing.
He found a "good dream one-day tour", hoping to realize his wish.
According to the request of the domestic violence man, "Good Dreams One Day Tour" customized a set of scripts for him.
They set the studio in the landlord’s house, and the new identity of the violent man in his dream is the poor tenants who work in the landlord’s house because they cannot pay the rent. According to the script design of
, the domestic violence man was subjected to “luxury” inhuman abuse at the landlord’s house.
grinds like a donkey and serves as a horse stool for the landlord’s master. The service even includes the classic method of "being needled by Mother Rong"... After a series of tortures,
finally couldn’t stand the domestic violence. She became angry and threatened to sue the "good dream one-day tour" to the Consumers Association.
However, the one who stunned me the most among the customers was the boss below.
You boss, a successful person with a net worth of hundreds of millions, just wants to pretend, according to the original words:
He was tired of eating lobster and ivory mussels every day, so he just wanted to live a hard life for a few days.
Faced with such a deadly Party A, the "Day Trip to Dream" can only meet his requirements.
Yao Yuan took Boss You to his second uncle's house in his country, and asked his second uncle to count the chickens in the yard every day, so that he should not be stained with meat.
originally just wanted to play a "metamorphosis" for three days and two nights, but what Boss You never expected was that some of the lads from the "Good Dreams One Day Tour" had forgotten to pick him up again.
and this trip took two full months. When
waited for the group to rush back to the countryside, they found that Boss You had completely changed his appearance.
, with a shaggy face and a haggard face, Boss You can no longer see the shadow of the past. He lays on the earthen kiln at the entrance of the village every day, hoping that someone will pick him up.
When Yao Yuan and his group's car drove from a distance, Boss You finally shed tears of excitement in the shaking.
What’s even more funny is that Yao Yuan discovered that Boss You not only ate the chickens of his second uncle’s family, but even drove the chickens out of the entire village, leaving no one alive. The second uncle
described: "Boss You is about to become a weasel, and his eyes glow green at night."
However, through this "Metamorphosis", Boss You's thinking and awareness have also got a qualitative leap. Said that I just want to sleep with the lobster for the rest of my life.
has helped people realize their absurd and funny wishes and made various jokes in their business after business.
And "Party A and Party B" has more than those endless baggage, in my opinion, it is full of profound meaning.
The cook wants to be a martyr, but he finds that he is not only weak in his mouth, but also timid. It is not easy to be a hero. When a domestic violence man is tortured, he understands that it is not pleasant to be angry. Husband and wife should be considerate of each other. You boss has been hardworking. Addiction, only to find that I prefer a stable and enjoyable life.
on the surface seems to be helping customers realize their wishes, but in fact it is to make customers realize that what you want at
is not necessarily suitable for you.
People always don't know what they want to get, but just blindly think that what they haven't had is good.
always waits until the wish is fulfilled before discovering that what you want is already by your side.
"Party A and Party B" also has warmth and a sense of sincerity.
At the end of the story, Yao Yuan decided to marry his partner Zhou Beiyan and moved to a new house.
But in order to help a technician who was frustrated by his wife's cancer, they gave up their new house to the couple without a house, so that they could have a warm home in their last time together. Even if
became a living Lei Feng, Yao Yuan was worried that he would not return after the house was loaned out. In the end, he could only comfort himself: "It's as if it has perfected others and cultivated myself." This scene of
moved me so much.
In that era, Yao Yuan could send out his house to a stranger, not for any personal gain, just because he wanted to help him realize his dream.
"moulded myself" even if the house could not be taken back.
This kind of selfless demeanor does not contain any hypocritical sincerity and kindness. How many people can do it?
Just as a friend praised Yao Yuan for his justice, the technician came when a few people were digging their hearts out at the wine table.
He returned the key to Yao Yuan and told Yao Yuan that because of the warm new house, his wife had a happy last trip.
At the end of the film, the technician walked slowly into the snow alone.
Ge You read a long line which was both funny and could not help tears:
"We were all drunk and weeped that day, and we said a lot of daring things to each other. It was an unforgettable night. A few days later. Bei Yan and I officially held a wedding. Her parents talked to me alone and asked me if I had concealed my age. I told the elderly that I was older than other children since I was born. 1997 has passed, I am I miss it very much." It has been more than 20 years since
. The pure age of
will never look back behind us, and those precious qualities of innocence and kindness have become rare and rare.Lack of goods, hard to find everywhere.
But I can't forget that 1997, and I can't forget those young people who looked bad but full of warmth and their "good dream day trip".
