Happy twist comedy celebrity
In 2015, the Happy Twist comedy movie "Charlotte's Troubles" was released, which won a high box office of 770 million in one fell swoop, becoming the most popular movie in 2015.
At that time, everyone was also looking forward to the comedy lineup of Happy Twist.
Unexpectedly, there are no big actors in the film, and the leading actor Shen Teng is just an ordinary cross talk actor in the eyes of the audience.
Unexpectedly, after the release of the film, it not only achieved unprecedented success, but also made the name Shen Teng instantly popular all over the country.
This film is not just a comedy film in the pure sense of the word, but also a movie that can provoke thought.
Although the film is full of absurd and funny elements, what is explored behind it is the relationship between family and life.
In the film, whether it is those annoying relatives or the various troubles faced by the protagonist himself, it arouses people's conjecture about family, friendship and his own life.
Perhaps it is this kind of close-to-life elements and Shen Teng's natural performance that makes this movie popular.
And Ma Li only had a few minutes of scenes in "Charlotte's Troubles", but these few minutes left a deep impression on the audience.
In front of the camera, Ma Li's natural stay and innocence and cuteness are full of charm, and she conquered the audience at once.
Happy Twist's 2016 new work "Iron Fist of Shame" attracted much attention as soon as it was promoted.
Although there is no Shen Teng and Yan Fei to join, there are old faces such as Ma Li, Allen, and Shang Jingmin to join, and "Satomi Ishihara" was also invited to make a cameo.
It's a pity that "Iron Fist of Shame" did not achieve the desired effect. The overall story of the film is too bloody and has no depth.
In addition, a lot of plot handling is not satisfactory. The whole movie is full of vulgar hilarious and embarrassing plots, which are far from "Charlotte's Troubles".
Since then, Happy Twist has successively launched a series of works such as "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Calm Waves".
Many viewers think that Happy Twist's comedy movies have moved towards commercialization, and they do not have the same innovation and depth as they did at the beginning.
On the road of Happy Twist step by step towards commercialization, Shen Teng and Ma Li cooperated to shine their own light in various bad movies.
Explore the real issues behind the phenomenon of education
In 2022, "Catching Dolls" will hit a high box office of 150 million in just one day after its release.
It can be said that it has attracted much attention. Judging from the promotional poster, "Catching the Doll" continues the consistent style of Happy Twist comedy movies: simple, capable and full of meaning.
The simple scene of the toy machine catching the doll is a metaphor for the delicate and awkward relationship between children and parents under the education system.
Judging from the trailer, "Catching the Doll" is definitely not a simple funny comedy movie.
From every nonsensical but thought-provoking sentence of the protagonist little girl, you can feel the film's intention to explore the problem at a deep level.
The little girl used childish and pure but unforgettable language to describe the love and desire for control hidden behind her parents' expectations and requirements for her study and life.
Parents use their children as "dolls" in the toy machine to capture and grab, which on the surface seems to be the responsibility and care of parents who overspoil their children.
In reality, however, it can be the biggest obstacle to a child's free growth and development, depriving him of a happy childhood and his right to live freely.
From the little girl's nonsensical but thought-provoking language, it can be seen that the film has both powerful accusations and criticisms of the problems faced by children under the education system.
There is also a satire and exposure of the psychology behind parents' excessive expectations and control of their children. The two are intertwined, subtle and awkward.
In fact, it is not only the problems faced by children under the education system of the big eastern countries that have attracted much attention from the society.
Western countries have similar problems. United States writer Amiti Talibobrad has written a book called "Tiger Mom ·and Wolf Dad: Parents' Unrealistic Expectations of Children in the United States Education System".
In this book, the author deeply explores the reasons behind parents' excessive expectations and control over their children under the Eastern liberal education system and the Western liberal education system, and argues through data analysis and case interviews.
No matter whether it is the East or the West, whether it is ancient or contemporary, no matter which nation or country, no matter how the social system changes, human nature and psychology are always the same.
The reason why parents will expect and demand too much from their children and impose the so-called "best" things on their children
And try to control and manipulate the child through various ways and means to achieve the perfect standard in his mind. The most fundamental reason for this is driven by the parents' own sense of "perfection" and inner anxiety.
Whether it is early due to malnutrition, stunted growth and development of children in large eastern countries
It is also the "little emperors" who have become selfish, lack empathy and moral bottom line due to excessive "pampering" and "doting", and make it difficult for them to adapt to the collective life and social environment in adulthood
Or the parents "desperately three mothers" and "desperate three fathers" tried to change the fate of the next generation through their own efforts, but in the end they could not successfully redeem themselves because of their social environment and education system
As a result, anxiety and self-blame are bred in their hearts and transferred to their own children. A chain reaction is formed under the action of this series of social psychological mechanisms.
As society develops and progresses, it must solve the problems that come with it
Including ideological and conceptual issues. When society is developing and progressing, parents must be aware of social changes and progress and actively adjust their parenting style
Learn to slow down and look at your child's growth, learn to give enough trust and respect, give them full freedom, space and time to develop, and belong to their own future.
The movie "Catching the Doll" not only caused bursts of laughter from the audience, but also hoped to arouse the audience's problems with the way we treat the next generation in real life
Cause us to speculate and change. Regardless of whether the film can achieve word-of-mouth and box office success in the future. Can it be the most valuable movie of 2022. Can it really lay the foundation for the future?
At least it has succeeded in provoking our conjectures and discussions about the future. It means something to each and every one of us.
From the current point of view, "Catching Wawa" is likely to refresh the public's perception and become the next topical hit movie. After all, it has fundamentally touched the hearts of every viewer.
returned to Shen Teng and Ma Li, and they met on the big screen. Shen Teng incarnates as a thrift store owner, and grabs the source of the story, the little girl and all the stories around her by selling "memories" toy machines
Among the many jokes, it really makes people laugh. From the mouth of the little girl, those logical but young and pure descriptions were spoken
Perhaps most of us have experienced similar feelings in our childhood. It still haunts it even now.
As a commercial film, it is natural to conform to the laws of business. As a comedy movie, it must meet the audience's demands. But if you stop there, you will lack depth and value. When we speculate about deep-seated social problems, we should guess the mechanism behind them.
Judging from the previous works of directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo, "Sewing Machine Band", "Calm Waves" and so on
They prefer to use comedic techniques to suggest social phenomena. It makes people laugh and conjecture and reflect at the same time.
This time, they used their new work "Catching Wawa" to directly present the phenomenon of social problems. How to not only resonate with the audience, but also meet the business rules to achieve a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office?
How do you express critical voices without being superficial?
This is indeed the subject that the director has in front of him.
In front of the actors, the task is even simpler
That is, to convey the content presented in the script to the audience in the most direct form, and at the same time do a good job of comedic effect.
Of course, the director's shooting plan is often more precise and careful than we think
Perhaps every shot positioning has already been conceived, and every line design is waiting for Shen Teng and Ma Li to interpret it step by step.
After watching the audience's feedback, it should be considered up to standard. In addition to the crying, the audience laughed constantly.
Regarding Shen Teng and Ma Li, the duo has cooperated many times before, fighting each other in various absurd character settings.
From the richest man in Xihong City, the god of gambling in the Northeast, to the old aunt, to the old lady and so on. The two have a tacit understanding and the chemistry is terrifying.
Shen Teng gave Ma Li an aura of object, and Ma Li gave Shen Teng a strong male meritorious service.
Perhaps it is the character that determines the fate, and the two can show their own powers under the absurd character setting.
Perhaps only if the two of them can take these settings to the extreme, the effect will be so amazing.
In addition to the profound acting skills and tacit understanding, the two worked together again this time, and their comedy skills were very solid.
Shen Teng was born in cross talk, can grasp the rhythm with ease, and at the same time has superb language skills.
In addition, in recent years, the work of funny variety shows has become more sharp, and entering the role with the momentum of the old rivers and lakes can drive the entire character's personality framework to be more three-dimensional, presented, and more complete and vivid.
And Ma Li completely takes the cute route, natural and stupid, radiant and cute, just a look and a movement can drive the atmosphere of the audience, which is very attractive.
Judging from "My Hometown and Me", Shen Teng and Ma Li don't have many scenes, but as long as they appear, they will definitely drive the audience.
Of course, it does not mean that other actors are not performing well, it can only be said that Shen Teng and Ma Li have a special aura that attracts the audience's attention.
It can even be said that if it weren't for the two of them, this movie might not be so popular.
