html On December 10, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon officially kicked off. The movie "Mr. Red Carpet " directed by Ning Hao and starring Andy Lau has a unique style among new films, bringing a knowing smile to the audience with its absurd humor."Mr. Red Carpet" is directed by Ning Hao, starring Andy Lau, Shan Liwen, Rima Xidan, Yu Weiguo and Ning Hao. The movie tells the story of Hong Kong superstar Liu Weichi who, in order to win the title of Best Actor, teamed up with a director played by Ning Hao to create a rural-themed movie, but unexpectedly triggered a series of hilarious and absurd events.
This film is also the first time that Ning Hao and Andy Lau collaborated as directors and actors after 17 years in the movie "Crazy Stone" to explore an elegant minimalist comedy. The elegant Andy Lau plays the role of an elegant superstar who is serious about troubles, while Ning Hao changes from the colorful and noisy "Crazy" series to a calm and restrained interpretation of realistic absurdity.
The film takes the film and television industry as an entry point to explore the proposition of "human communication". Through a series of absurd encounters of King Liu Weichi, it shows the communication dilemma of ineffective dialogue between people under different positions and perspective deviations. The status of a big star magnifies the difficulty of Liu Weichi's communication with the outside world and increases the cost of trusting each other. "Communication barriers" arise from this.
Director Ning Hao integrates his concerns and thoughts about society into his works. Many viewers said that "(the movie) is a microcosm of the miscommunication of the entire society and a portrayal of the current Internet environment", "The aftertaste of a knowing smile is a deeper analysis and reflection on the times", "On the surface it focuses on the superstars and the entertainment industry. , in fact, we still pay attention to the real nuances and the essence of human communication."
Ning Hao said that the film wants to explore whether people can communicate from each other's perspective, and "the differences in stances between people of different genders and ages are the root cause of misaligned communication." Just as it is difficult for Liu Weichi to see problems from the perspective of others, when he stubbornly expresses his own opinion, the distance between him and his wife, agent, farmer brother and audience is getting farther and farther, especially in today's Internet era, communication seems convenient , but it also invisibly built a thick communication barrier, and the absurd humor of the movie was born from this.
Recently, "Mr. Red Carpet" released the sentimental music video "17 Years Old". In
mv, Liu Weichi has experienced the glamorous side from playing the leading role to walking on the red carpet and attending award ceremonies. He also has moments of loneliness when he is not understood by the people around him. This all echoes the inner journey of the king described in the lyrics of "17 Years Old". .
At the same time, with the rise of emerging Internet things such as short videos and the metaverse, King Liu Weichi even developed "anxiety of the times" and said frankly that "retirement is okay, but you have to be dignified."
In order to keep up with the times, Liu Weichi made short videos, taught hot memes, and personally went to rural areas to experience life in order to practice his acting skills. These actions all showed his hard work, persistence and unwillingness to admit defeat.
From insisting that "short videos should be taken seriously" to "I'll do it" in the horse riding scene, Liu Weichi tried his best and took every attempt seriously. However, the more serious he was, the more unsatisfactory the results were. Every "effort" he made None of them seemed to get good returns, which seemed extremely absurd. This also made Liu Weichi, who firmly believed that "hard work is the criterion for a good actor", shake his heart, and even asked "Is there anything wrong with hard work?"
mv unfolds with the voice of King Liu Weichi, telling the story behind the superstar's fame. During the ups and downs of Liu Weichi's life, it shows the true appearance of life - family conflicts, career conflicts, communication barriers and other social realities, arousing the audience's thinking and empathy.
Andy Lau once revealed in an interview that playing the role of the king in "Mr. Red Carpet" was far more difficult than imagined. He needed to handle the delicate emotional details and grasp the difference between reality and drama.
