has entered the summer season, and theater movies have finally become lively.
But to say that the current box office winner has to be " Catch the Baby " starring Shen Teng and Ma Li. Ten days after the release of
, the proportion of films scheduled after its release is still as high as 42%, which is enough to show the audience's preference for this movie, and it takes a matter of minutes to win a box office of 2 billion.
Films such as "Escape from the 21st Century" and " decrypted " have been screened on a small scale. However, there are many more blockbuster films that are about to be released to the audience. It is hard to say who will be the biggest winner in the summer season.
theater movies are so popular that Goose Factory’s Internet giant is not to be outdone and produced a " Nameless Fire ". After
was released, the website score was as high as 8.9. After watching the entire film, I just want to ask: How many theater movies has this film torn off?
directly hits the pain points of society, and the plot keeps reversing.
When the Internet University is mentioned, the audience can't help but frown, and a group of girls wearing low-cut clothes and greasy and smelly men automatically pop up in their minds. Stories on any subject can be made into vulgar videos.
But "Unknown Fire" obviously wants to change the atmosphere of the Internet, and aims the story at a sharp perspective-the fermentation of public opinion. The triple reversal of
instantly draws the audience into the drama.
The first reversal: a middle-aged failed man turned into a hero.
Xue Ming (played by Jia Bing) is inactive in his middle age. He opens a small restaurant but does nothing. He only likes to play mahjong every day and pay back debts. He also lost all the money his wife ( Zuo Xiaoqing ) gave him for rent while playing mahjong.
His wife wanted to divorce Xue Ming in a fit of anger. He drank alone to relieve his sorrow and gave himself a drink. When he woke up again, Xue Ming was lying in the hospital and became a hero reported by the media.
But Xue Ming only remembered that he saw a fire in the Internet cafe on his way home after drinking. He didn’t remember anything after that, but everyone said that he was a great hero who saved six people.
Vanity caused him to accept the title of hero, and he gained both fame and fortune for a while.
The second reversal, Xue Ming became a mouse crossing the street.
On the way out of the hospital, Xue Ming saw the delivery boy who was unconscious in the fire, and remembered that others said that the delivery boy saved people. He began to doubt whether he had saved people.
After experiencing several twists and turns, Xue Ming finally remembered what happened that night -
He saved people, but only the delivery boy was saved. The other five people were all saved by the delivery boy.
After struggling internally, Xue Ming told the media the truth about that night. However, for the sake of traffic, the media only said that Xue Ming did not save anyone, not that he saved the delivery boy.
, who was obviously a hero, suffered overwhelming abuse and insults. Even his wife and children were cast aside.
The third reversal, Xue Ming raised money publicly.
Xue Ming was promoted to heaven and thrown to hell. Everyone only wanted to believe what they wanted to believe and accused him of pretending to be a hero. However, the delivery boy who saved five people was in critical condition and could not afford medical treatment. fee.
People who are familiar with Xue Ming are looking for evidence for him to save people, but Xue Ming knows that if he had not admitted to saving people, the fame and fortune might have saved the life of the delivery boy.
He dressed himself as a clown and walked on the street. When he was surrounded by people and attracted media reporters, Xue Ming raised the sign in his hand to raise funds for the delivery boy, and a large amount of charity money was collected.
Finally, the takeaway boy finally woke up, and Xue Ming’s act of saving people was confirmed. But by this time, he had already returned to his ordinary life. There were no reporters or cameras around him. For those people, the traffic had passed.
The film vividly shows the inconsistent faces of people around Xue Ming. Irony is the highest art.
In the era of rapid development of self-media, traffic is often more attractive than the truth. When public opinion ferments until the end, the truth is no longer important.
Even if this movie is shown in theaters, the results will not be bad.
has a strong cast and great acting skills.
In addition to the unique story, the cast of the film is also very attractive. Each actor's acting skills in the film are outstanding.
ranked first, Jia Bing.
Although there is a big gap between Jia Bing’s status and top comedies like Shen Teng, his nationality and acting skills are not bad at all.
Jia Bing has proven his acting skills in many works such as "Hurry" and " Speeding Life 2". In the new film
, Jia Bing has obviously "condensed" a lot and fits the image of a middle-aged frustrated man more closely. His character Xue Ming sits at the mahjong table with a beer belly, no different from an ordinary middle-aged man.
After Xue Ming realized that he was not a real hero, the guilt, struggle and pain after being condemned by his conscience were performed by Jia Bing with one look.
It can be said that Jia Bing performed the soul of this movie.
second place, Zuo Xiaoqing.
is recognized by the audience as a powerful actress. She has performed brilliantly in works such as "Thirteen Years of Ashes" and "South and North", which is impressive.
In "The Unknown Fire", Zuo Xiaoqing plays Xue Ming's wife, a woman who works hard and never complains.
After she found out that her husband had lost all the rent, she froze in disbelief at first. Then she looked angry and stared at him. In the end, the anger in her eyes was replaced by disappointment.
All the helplessness turned into a turn. Zuo Xiaoqing didn't have many roles, but he played a gold-rimmed character to life.
ranked third, Li Xirui .
The role of "sister drag" is perfect for Li Xirui.
In this film, Li Xirui plays the role of an anchor of a self-media company. When her superiors force her to release a recording to slander Xue Ming to clear the company's name, she pulls off her work badge from around her neck and throws it on the table without her head turning. Went back.
At that moment, her eyes became firm. She was so sassy. Li Xirui should act more.
fourth place, Feng Lei.
is another actor familiar to the audience.
In "Unknown Fire", he plays a fake psychiatrist. In fact, he is a partner of a self-media company. He approaches Xue Ming for the purpose of making excuses. When he threatened the other party with the recording, his face was so ugly that he felt like his fist could not reach the screen. Feeling of powerlessness.
Needless to say, Feng Lei has a face that is born to play a villain.
It is worth mentioning that the film also has the participation of many powerful actors such as Song Xiaofeng and Liu Ye. This lineup can also compete with the standard of theatrical movies.
Conclusion:
As soon as "Unknown Fire" is aired, I don't know how many theater movies will be embarrassed.
Compared with some films that pretend to be profound, "Unknown Fire" uses a plain and down-to-earth way to focus on current social pain points, and it also makes people laugh with tears. The more you see behind it, the more you understand the director's vision. Deep meaning.
A hot event caused the self-media to speak out, saying all the good and bad things to earn traffic, but the speech was like a knife, stabbing the victim.
People stand on the moral high ground and blame the victims without any lower limit in the face of the so-called "truth", thinking that they are so righteous.
Incidents of eating steamed buns with human blood happen frequently in the online world. It’s time for a video to wake people up.
The meaning of "Unknown Fire" is more than just funny.
