The movie-watching experience of "'s safe evacuation from the 21st century " is like a roller coaster ride. From "this thing" can also be called a movie , to the original movie can actually be shot like this?
Compared with this movie, Stephen Chow's nonsensical movies have become much more normal.
I originally thought that "Wang Jiu" in " Kowloon Walled City: The Siege " was insane enough, but in this movie everyone is insane, and it would be impossible to sympathize with them without cyberpsychosis.
However, after reviewing the movie, I found that everyone's "epilepsy" is very reasonable and logical.
Could it be that director Li Yang is really a genius?
This is a movie for young people, for those who especially like elements such as the second dimension, pop culture fusion, and video games. Of course, it also includes aging "young people".
During the viewing process, I doubted the director's mental state several times. I jumped between wanting to call him a madman and praising him as a genius.
has now decided to re-examine this film and recommend this hugely "controversial" science fiction film to friends who are watching.
As early as 2009, young director Li Yang was born.
won the title of great god on the Chinese Internet through a 20-minute animated short film "The Adventures of Li Xianji ". Among the countless admirers, two people are particularly special.
A certain young man got the opportunity to make a feature film. He was thinking about making a super nb animation into a real person. Wouldn't it be very interesting?
While surfing the Internet, a young man discovered that a netizen was also a fan of "Li Xianji". The netizen's graduation cartoon " Young Ma Liao's Troubles " was inspired by "Li Xianji".
So, the young man invited the netizens to work together in real life, one as the director and the other as the assistant director.
The two have collaborated on many projects, such as " My Deskmate " and " The Wandering Earth 2".
In 2021, in order to thank his old friends for their behind-the-scenes support for many years, the young man supported the release of his alternative science fiction masterpiece called " Universe Exploration Editorial Department ".
Directors Guo Fan and Kong Dashan also attended the film premiere. Guo Fan said: He is still the same Li Yang, he is back.
However, today’s protagonists are not Guo Fan and Kong Dashan , but Li Yang, a genius recognized in the circle.
is obviously a man who is said to be invincible in creativity and makes his peers feel inferior. Why did he not hand over his first independently directed feature film until 2024?
Geniuses are always ahead of the times. The consequence of too many leading versions is that no one can understand Li Yang's scripts. Over the years, he has been creative, but he has been ruthlessly rejected by investors.
An investor handed him a script. It was about three boys who gradually drifted apart from best friends after graduation. They became couriers, delivery boys and chefs, and then reunited for a music competition...
Li Yang refused, on the grounds that "'Chopstick Brothers' are not allowed to sue me"!
In fact, the deeper reason is that Li Yang disdains making mediocre stories, "I will probably only be able to make three or four movies in my lifetime."
Since the quantity is not large, it is natural to struggle with quality.
The first version of the script for "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" was completed as early as 2015. However, no investors have been willing to take the risk of trusting a new director. After all, he only has cartoons and short films on his resume.
Li Yang’s unconstrained creativity means that in the eyes of investors and producers, it is very expensive to implement.
Until "Master Xiao Fan" Zhang Ruoyun appeared, as an old two-dimensional actor, he fell in love with the script at first sight, saying that if he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Li Yang, who has never been recognized for his talent, finally has the opportunity to make his first feature film independently.
In 1999, three high school teenagers ushered in the last summer vacation of their lives. They accidentally gained the super power to travel 20 years in the future just by sneezing. , a magical adventure begins.
What will you look like when you grow up?
60 pounds of doormat, good old guy bubble, became a handsome man (played by Li Chenhao).
Wang Chengyong, the king of children and with a strong sense of justice, has become a thug of a black-hearted enterprise (played by Song Yang).
Wang Zha (who knocks on the blackboard, the core plot of this drama), who is short-minded and has a shrunken brain in the third grade, becomes a temporary worker (played by Zhang Ruoyun) in the magazine.
Wang Zha is very disappointed with the future. It has been 20 years and the device he has been looking forward to since he was a child has not yet been invented.
is a rotating device that is worn on the head like a bamboo dragonfly and has a huge propeller. The effect is that anyone taller than the wearer has to squat down, otherwise they will be strangled...
The movie not only borrows from Wang Zha's mouth. This interesting and scary device was created and animated.
While showing the "bloody" effect, the R-Star logo also lights up in the corner of the screen. Players of "Grand Theft Auto" will definitely smile when they see it.
Wang Zha’s future is in a mess, and it’s not like it will be better when he grows up.
The only thing that made him feel gratified was meeting the capable and kind-hearted sister Liu Lianzhi (played by Zhong Chuxi).
However, Xiao Liu’s workplace was very frustrating. He was deprived of his right to authorize the news that he risked his life to capture, and he had to hold a hot projector as a humanoid stand during company meetings.
html The 238-year-old "Wang Zha" may be able to endure it, but at the age of 18, he must take action to rectify the workplace.
He smashed the projector angrily and beat up the small leaders who took the credit and the big leaders who were blind.
He pulled out all the wires in the office, then took Xiao Liu's hand, and they jumped down from the tall building in the office with the help of the wires...
Behind Wang Zha and Xiao Liu, all the computers and office equipment flew towards them as if they were weightless. roof.
This scene of "Little Fan" rectifying his workplace and a hero saving a beauty can be called the most romantic scene of the year in the theater.
This is a movie with a serious amount of memes. What’s great is that it is extremely original, full of ingenuity and constant twists. Just when you think the story seems to be coming to an end, there will be another twist like a village. .
Halfway through the movie, I thought it was just an inspirational story that warned young people not to waste their youth in order to control their future.
later found that this was not the case. The future was already hopeless, and the most dazzling years of life may only stay in the last summer vacation.
In order to save his bedridden father and pay the daily medical expenses of 9,000 yuan, Chengyong had to go dark. He had to cut off the ties with his lover and good brothers.
So, what is the meaning of traveling to the future?
If you can’t change the future through hard work, then at least don’t get worse.
Zhang Ruoyun has long been firmly established as the leading male lead in the TV industry, and "Master Xiao Fan" appears on the big screen to play a comedy about a middle-aged teenager. A little worrying.
But from the perspective of the whole film, there is still something about this Wang Zha, and his middle-class temperament is completely natural.
In the trailer, he was lying in the ward and interacting with Zhong Chuxi in a "daddy style". Watching it in the cinema still makes people laugh.
This movie laid the foundation for almost the entire core plot. During the final showdown between Wang Zha and the villain, his head was inserted into a section of steel bars, but he did not die...
His brain shrank, and his brain was naturally much smaller than others... It makes sense!
If you are careful, you can see that when Wang Zha pulled out the steel bars on his brain, all the water was thrown out...
The two villains of this film are also surprising. They are not just tool people, they also have complete stories.
Third Master (played by Wen Zhengrong), she is dressed in high-end custom-made black clothes and has a sharp-edged face, she is a born queen.
When she was speaking on the stage, her aura controlled the attention of everyone in the audience, and her aura was extremely oppressive.
She wanted to conquer the world, just because her son did not answer her calls. Her rebellious son made her suffer, so she decided to let all human beings degenerate into children.
The third master doesn’t have many scenes, but he is stunning enough, and his interesting and cool queen style is impressive.
Han Guang (played by Wu Xiaoliang) is Cheng Yong's colleague. He is a professional killer who learned the "Street Fighter Game" and developed invincible boxing and kicking skills.
Sun Xing in " gangster storm " is "evil" without any reason.
And here, the reason why he did evil was to save the woman he loved. He was evil enough to be pure, but not so bad that he was annoying.
Especially when he completed the pursuit mission, he took out a child's fireworks stick (the kind that costs 1 yuan a pop at a roadside stall). This gadget instantly exploded with the power of a rocket launcher and killed everyone.
Summary
This should not be a movie with a particularly wide audience. The director Li Yang is still a "newcomer" and the hero Ruoyun lacks representative works that can be used on the big screen.
However, this is definitely the most special movie in the history of Chinese movies, and you can't even find a substitute for it.
Zhang Xiaobei, who was the literary planner of Li Yang's short film " Bad Future ", is also a senior film critic and a special writer for "Screening Room 10" that year.
He believes that there are only two directors in China worthy of genius, one is Jiang Wen and the other is Li Yang.
There is often a thin line between genius and madman. Audiences who watch this movie are bound to have a polarizing viewing experience. Some people love it so much that they want to worship it, or they hate it so much that they want to cancel their tickets.
Friendly reminder, you can watch the short films made by Li Yang before watching the movie. Refusing to grow up, fighting against time, women who have loved and love that cannot be obtained , these elements are in Li Yang's movies Never changed.(Written by Mu Weizhou)
