The box office exceeded 400 million in three days of screening, and the 2024 summer box office war has finally begun.
Sure enough, Shen Teng will always be the gods of domestic comedies.
Douban score is 7.5, which is appropriate in my opinion. After all, everyone has always been harsh on domestic movies.
The overall quality of "Catch a Baby" is not lower than the audience's expectations. In fact, this is also a breakthrough for Happy Twist.
Compared with the previous Happy Twist movies, the most successful thing about "Catch a Baby" is that all the actors except Shen Teng and Ma Li were given colors.
While watching the movie, you will find that it is not just the "Shen Ma Combination" that is funny, every little detail of every supporting role is enough to make people laugh.
Even though he has very few roles, he still has a relatively vivid image.
What surprised me the most in the whole film was actually the third male lead -
Although Shen Teng and Ma Li are the essence of "Catch a Baby", they are little experts at turning over baggage.
But in terms of plot content, the son Ma Jiye is actually the top priority.
If Xiao Ma's performance is not good, then the whole film will still be superficial, and the audience will not have a sense of involvement, and may even feel a little awkward.
Once there is too much sensationalism, it will appear heavy, and the audience will feel a psychological burden when watching it, but it will cover up the laughter.
In terms of design, Xiao Ma's "joy in hardship" and various whimsical ideas are very lovable on the big screen.
Even though he has a paralyzed grandma, a father who doesn’t care if the soles of his shoes are rotten, and a shabby home, he doesn’t complain at all, but is full of energy.
However, it is Xiao Ma's spirit of enjoying hardships that becomes even more ironic under the deceptive behavior of his father, Ma Chenggang.
Although her family is wealthy, she is used to doing all kinds of housework every day. She is exhausted all day long, and she still has to be moved by her parents' love.
He could have had a wonderful childhood, at least a normal childhood that ordinary people could have, but due to his father's design, he could only endure poverty.
It’s not that you can’t be poor, but judging from the conditions in Xihong City, you are basically not as poor as his family.
It’s so painful to have to hesitate again and again to buy an egg.
But it was precisely because he suffered too much as a child that he became too outspoken when he grew up. After noticing the strangeness of the people around him, he made elaborate plans to try to escape from the clutches of the devil.
As long as Ma Jiye's childhood scenes are well prepared, the subsequent reversal can be turned over.
I have to say that the two directors, Yan Fei and Peng Damo, can always make the characters' personalities vivid when telling nonsensical stories.
The focus did not fall on Ma Jiye's pity during his childhood, but instead made him appear more mature and stubborn.
was laughed at and bullied by the people around him when he was picking up bottles. He did not use fists to solve the problem. Instead, he continued to pick up bottles after crying.
I think this plot is enough to make the audience hate Ma Chenggang.
The child did something wrong and was clever.
However, on the basis that Ma Jiye is sensible enough and has excellent academic performance, it is normal for him to have some minor problems.
needs correct guidance and immediate discipline.
But Ma Chenggang used a trick instead, directly soaking the tablet in water and forcibly creating hardships, which may distort the children's psychology.
Therefore, in terms of character description, the focus of Ma Jiye's childhood is not actually "laughter", but the "sadness" contained therein.
The film has a relatively advanced design, and in my opinion, what is even more advanced is the interpretation of the young actor Xiao Bochen -
Xiao Bochen's performance adds another level to the already funny movie, and what he does The performance is really as exciting as Shen Teng and Ma Li.
First, Xiao Bochen’s Northeast dialect and expressiveness are really rich.
If I didn’t say that Northeastern people are naturally humorous, I would want to laugh whenever such a young child speaks.
He was born in Jilin. Although his accent in "Catch a Baby" is not as strong as his accent in "Glory of Our Fathers".
However, it is not difficult to hear that the Mandarin in the movie still has a strong Northeast flavor.
But this way of speaking coincides with Shen Teng's lines.
His cute appearance is only part of it. His big, fluttering eyes, coupled with a somewhat confused but see-through expression, really don't feel like acting.
Secondly, Xiao Bochen has fun interacting with anyone.
As we mentioned above, sometimes "the less miserable" the character is, the more the audience will feel from the bottom of their hearts that the character is really miserable.
And the brilliance of Xiao Bochen's performance is actually here.
Under the broken conditions, Xiao Bochen neither deliberately showed the hardships he had endured, nor deliberately acted out a strong or mature side.
The most important thing is of course playing against Shen Teng, Ma Li and Sarina.
Let alone children, even a young student in his 20s would find it difficult to achieve the familiarity that comes with performing for several years. The slightly abrupt appearance of Shi Pengyuan behind
is included in this point.
Ke Xiao Bochen fully performed the different states of playing with different people.
For example, when playing against Shen Teng, one is deceiving and the other is sincere.
In the eyes of the young actor, I can really see the tears that burst out of him instantly after being touched by his father's love.
When playing opposite Ma Li, the sense of distance is no longer so strong.
looks familiar at first glance, and there is no obvious sense of boundaries when getting along with each other, so he will not be on guard against his mother.
There is also grandma, it is filial piety from the heart, it really feels like being brought up by her.
Therefore, as the youngest actor in the whole movie, Xiao Bochen's performance is really good. I think that in the future, he will have more film and television drama resources.
Conclusion
In fact, "Catch a Baby" is not Xiao Bochen's first work. To say that he became famous for the first time, it must be Xiao Zhaoxi played in "The Glory of Our Fathers".
The Northeastern style is rich, and Xiao Bochen did not hold back at all in his performance. He just turned up the volume throughout. Every sentence is a classic saying, and the small expressions are completely his own reactions.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he was chosen for the film market.
At such a young age, he was able to cooperate with a mainland comedy brother. It seems that the acting career of young actors born in 10s is still open.
From the current point of view, "Catch a Baby" is undoubtedly the hottest film, and it will most likely become the summer box office champion, but the new films of Xu Zheng and Chen Sicheng have not yet appeared.
As for "Catch a Baby" to be released first, whether it will have the last laugh, we still have to wait for the final result to be announced. Do you think Shen Teng's new film is good to watch?
