Who said that comedy films can only rely on Shen Teng and Ma Li to support the scene? Who said that post-10 young actors can only play some vase roles? In this summer, "Catching the Doll" gave everyone a resounding slap in the face.
This movie not only allowed Shen Teng and Ma Li to once again prove that they are the "golden partners" in the comedy industry, but also made a young actor named Xiao Bochen amaze the entire screen. That's right, it's the little Zhaoxi who speaks fluent Northeast dialect in "The Glory of the Fathers".
Who would have thought that this little boy, who looks harmless to humans and animals, would have an explosion of acting skills in "Catching the Doll", bringing a visual feast to the audience?
Let's take a look at the magic of this box office exploding comedy, which can make the audience laugh and cry, and make a post-10s actor the biggest surprise in the audience.
The box office exploded, and the word of mouth exploded
At the beginning of the summer season, "Catching the Doll" gave everyone a heavy blow. The film was screened for only three days, and the box office exceeded the 400 million mark. I have to say that Shen Teng, the title of "God of Domestic Comedy", is really not called in vain.
You know, this is an achievement achieved without other movies being released at the same time. If there really is any movie that is not long-sighted, it dares to be at the same time as "Catching the Doll", I am afraid that it would have been killed long ago.
Not only is the box office performance outstanding, but the reputation of "Catching a Doll" is also quite good. Douban has a score of 7.5 points, which is quite powerful for a domestic comedy.
You must know that our Chinese audiences have always evaluated domestic films as "strict and gentle". can get a score of 7.5, which shows that "Catching the Doll" has indeed lived up to the audience's expectations.
The success of this movie is not only the credit of Shen Teng and Ma Li, but also the breakthrough of the entire Happy Twist team. In the past, happy twist movies always gave people a feeling of "Shen Ma and two people turning".
But this time, they finally learned to "dance with the demons". Each supporting role has its own highlights, and even the characters with few scenes are vividly portrayed. This kind of progress has to make people praise Happy Twist.
The wonderful performance of the supporting actors
Speaking of the supporting roles in "Catching Dolls", one is really more interesting than the other. Each character has their own characteristics, just like a well-cooked side dish, which makes the taste of the whole movie more colorful.
Don't say it, the performance of these supporting roles is really no worse than Shen Teng Ma Li. Everyone is like a chicken blood, and they do everything they can to make the audience laugh. Even those characters who don't have many scenes can impress you in just a few shots.
For example, the actor who played Ma Jiye's grandmother, although he was lying on the bed the whole time, his eyes and expression stunned him to play a "paralyzed old man".
Look at Ma Jiye's father who "doesn't care if the soles are rotten", although he is a villain, the actor's performance makes people hate it, but feels angry and funny.
This phenomenon is rare in Happy Twist movies. In the past, when we watched Happy Twist movies, didn't we just go to Shen Teng and Ma Li? Others?
Sorry, it's basically a backdrop. But this time it's different, every actor seems to be injected with a soul, making the whole movie look more three-dimensional and layered.
Xiao Bochen: The biggest surprise
When it comes to the biggest highlight of "Catching the Doll", we must mention the young actor Xiao Bochen who plays Ma Jiye. This little guy is simply the soul of the whole movie.
You must know that the role of Ma Jiye is not easy to play. If the acting is not good, the whole movie will seem very exaggerated, and it will be difficult for the audience to have a sense of substitution. Not to mention finding a balance between comedy and sensationalism, the slightest mistake can look embarrassing.
However, Xiao Bochen's performance can be described as "miraculous". This kid plays a little boy who is happy and innocent in the midst of suffering.
Obviously, the family is so poor that they are tinkling, but they are always happy; Obviously I was bullied, but after crying, I was still strong and continued to pick up bottles. This kind of performance not only made the audience laugh and cry, but also added a layer of profound connotation to the whole movie.
The most surprising thing is that Xiao Bochen's Northeast dialect is simply amazing. That sense of humor is simply innate. Every time he spoke, I couldn't help but want to laugh. This down-to-earth performance takes the comedic effect of the whole movie to the next level.
What's even more powerful is that Xiao Bochen and Shen Teng Ma Li's rivalry does not fall behind at all. Whether it is the father played by Shen Teng, or the mother played by Ma Li, or even the grandmother played by Sarina, Xiao Bochen has performed the familiarity of life for many years. This kind of performance may not even be able to be done by some adult actors.
The beauty of the script design
The script design of "Catching the Doll" is also quite ingenious. Instead of blindly pursuing sensational effects, the screenwriters used an ironic approach to highlight the theme.
What happened to Ma Jiye is actually a contrast to his father Ma Chenggang's misconduct. A child who could have had a normal childhood, but is forced to live in poverty. This kind of setting not only makes people feel funny, but also makes people feel sad.
For example, the scene where Ma Jiye has to hesitate again and again in order to buy an egg seems funny, but it is actually ironic. For another example, Ma Chenggang's behavior of deliberately creating difficulties in order to "temper" his son is even more laughable.
This design makes "Catching the Doll" not just a simple comedy, but a work with both laughter and connotation. After the audience has laughed, they can still feel a trace of sadness, which is the effect that a truly good comedy work should achieve.
Netizens are hotly discussed: mixed reviews
This incident quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet, and some netizens thought: **""Catching the Doll" is simply the best comedy of the year! Shen Teng Ma Li's performance is as good as ever, but what surprised me the most was the little actor Xiao Bochen, whose acting skills are too good! "**
Some netizens also think: **"Although the overall is not bad, the plot design is a bit too bloody." Why do you have to make your child so miserable? Is that really good? "**
Some netizens think: **"I think the most successful thing about this movie is its irony." Through Ma Jiye's experience, many problems in family education are reflected. It seems funny, but it actually has a deep connotation. "**
Of course, there are also some critical voices: **"It's Shen Teng Ma Li again, is there no newcomer to hold Happy Twist?" Although the performance of the other actors this time is also good, it always feels like the same old thing. "**
For Xiao Bochen's performance, many netizens spoke highly of it: **"This little actor is really amazing! The Northeast dialect is so slippery, and the expression is also very in place. I hope to see more of his work in the future. "**
There are also some netizens who put forward their own opinions on the theme of the movie: **"I think this movie is actually satirizing the education methods of some parents. In order to so-called 'honing' the child, it may cause psychological trauma to the child. I hope that more parents can reflect on this. "**
These reviews reflect that although "Catching the Doll" has been recognized by the audience as a whole, there are also some controversies. However, this controversy is precisely the depth and value of the film, which makes it more than just a simple comedy.
Write at the end
Looking back on the whole article, it is not difficult for us to find that the success of "Catching the Doll" is no accident. It not only has the outstanding performances of Shen Teng and Ma Li, the "gold medal partners", but also the surprises brought by the new generation of actors like Xiao Bochen. The ingenuity of the script design and the use of irony make this movie funny and provoke the audience to think.
But we must also see that there is still a long way to go in the development of domestic comedy films. How to enhance the depth and connotation of the movie while maintaining the laughter? How to cultivate and discover more outstanding newcomers like Xiao Bochen? These are all questions we need to think about.
Finally, I would like to throw out a question: in your opinion, what qualities should a good comedy film have, in addition to making the audience laugh out loud? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment section!
