Master Fan said: Rich and poor?
If you want to say that the big winner of this year's summer file, it must be Shen Teng and Ma Li's new film "Catching Dolls"!
Within 10 days of its release, the box office of "Catching the Doll" surpassed "Charlotte's Troubles", exceeding 1.9 billion, and also made the "Shen Ma Combination" dominate the highest-grossing Chinese actors and actresses respectively.
"Catching the Doll" tells the story of Ma Chenggang's family, who are well-off, and deliberately pretended to be poor in order to make their son a talent. Although the plot is simple, the whole film is full of jokes, coupled with the gold-lettered signboard of "Shen Ma Combination", it became a big hit in the summer file overnight.
Many netizens said that under the comedy shell of the film, what is packaged is actually a horror story of "East Asian family education". From the plot setting to the fate of the characters, it also has the shadow of the classic movie "Truman's World".
There are also many people who say that movies that can make the audience laugh in the cinema and cause thinking by the way are worth the ticket price. Especially the various contrasting jokes caused by "the rich pretending to be poor" in the film make people laugh.
So for the sake of the chicken baby, what are the routines of this family pretending to be poor? How many steps does the rich take to "pretend to be poor"? Let's take a look today~
01
【Appearance】
Wear rags and 4,000 hair rings
Jewellery watches are tucked away
Although people rely on their clothes and clothing, they can roughly judge a person's wealth from their appearance, but as long as rich people deliberately "hide their wealth", it will be a little demagogic. It's like legend says that he is a Patek Philippe VIP, but he wears Citizen's Li Ka-shing every day, focusing on a richer and more low-key one, and you can't guess how many zeros his bank account has.
And Ma Chenggang, played by Shen Teng in "Catching the Doll", has raised "low-key hiding wealth" to "pretending to be poor excessively". As soon as the movie opened, he showed people with a tattered and sloppy image, and in a home surrounded by walls, he almost engraved "I am poor" on his face.
In fact, Ma Chenggang, who was poor in front of the people, has a real identity of a large amount of money, and his family background is old and solid, and the contrast is too extreme.

Any business blue henry shirt at home also has a BC flavor. Paired with a Vacheron Constantin MALTE Malta 30080 watch, the unique case has a low-key dial and a built-in tourbillon.
Chunlan played by Ma Li is Ma Chenggang's daughter-in-law, dressed and sang with her husband, cotton jacket + flower cotton pants and a pair of ankle boots, the style and color are a bit villager. It was written all over his body, "My husband has no money, so we don't pay attention to it".
In fact, Chunlan also followed her husband to "pretend to be poor", as a noblewoman, she usually hides her belongings. For example, he hid the drill watch under a torn cotton jacket, and accidentally exposed it when he raised his hand, and was criticized by Ma Chenggang for "not paying enough attention to details".
Her case and strap are encrusted with diamonds and emeralds, and the turquoise green dial is quite luxurious, revealing its identity for a second.
She also has a diamond watch from what appears to be a Cartier cheetah diamond collection, also with a diamond-set outer bezel, which goes well with a black inner layer with sparkling diamond embellishments.
Chunlan, who was forced to pretend to be poor, also had to hide the character of "Hermes Harvester". When she was a noblewoman, she once wore a Giambattista Valli coat and carried a Hermes elephant gray Birkin on her stage, with a public price of about 170,000 yuan.
And when she leaned into Ma Chenggang's ear and reminded him to buy herself "Hermes Kelly Orange Lychee Pattern", it also made Orange Kelly popular again~
And when Ma Chenggang bought the bag back, Chunlan didn't want it anymore, I don't know if it was because she bought the wrong ......
Chunlan wanted a lychee pattern, or togo (left), but what she got was Epsom (right). The former has a natural texture and a softer leather, while the latter is stiffer and usually outseamed.
When moving out of the mansion, Chunlan's cool long coat came from Curiel, a limited velvet model, and Liu Tao also wore it during Milan Fashion Week~

Although you can't usually show off your diamond watch and carry Hermès, accessories can be "low-key luxury", right?
The seemingly ordinary head rope is actually from Balenciaga, with a price of 4,000 yuan, it seems that Balenciaga knows how to let "rich people pretend to be poor"~
Not only is the braided style in the play, but Ma Li also carried out the braided styling to the end during the promotion of the film, which is very suitable for her~
02
【Life】
Don't live in a big house and live in an unfinished building
Don't drive luxury cars and ride donkey carts
In addition to the transformation of appearance, the rich "pretending to be poor" have also penetrated into the minutiae of life. Musk, who sleeps on the floor and sells houses, has Warren Buffett, who is full of everything in Hamburger Coke, one is the richest man in the world, and the other is a stock god, but he insists on living his life back to the way it was.
And the "pretending to be poor" of Ma Chenggang and his wife in the film makes people laugh. The family originally lived in a big house with a driver, a nanny, and a pool garden↓
As a result, in order to pretend to be poor, he simply moved into an "unfinished building" with a leaky ceiling, pretending to be a "low-income household". This is also where Ma Chenggang lived when he was a child~
Occasionally, I go back to the big house to enjoy it, but because I was almost recognized by my son, I pretended that this was my "work unit". It looks simple on the surface, but in fact, it feels very secretive~
And the seemingly "impoverished" home is actually a hidden organ. Every corner, including the bathroom, is covered with surveillance, and there is an elevator hidden behind the wardrobe in the bedroom, leading to the "high-tech command center", and the buff is stacked full~
Ma Chenggang's son Ma Jiye was ridiculed by his classmates for not having a car at home, and even Ma Chenggang himself occasionally "drove a donkey cart to go out to work"...
In fact, Ma Chenggang's family not only has a car, but also a million-dollar luxury car in a garage. The daily car is the Hongqi L5 double-barreled national gift car, worth 6 million +, in addition to the Hongqi Guoyao SUV, GMC Business Star and so on...
As well as this Land Rover Defender ORV off-road vehicle, as a hard-core off-road "ceiling", it is quite stylish, priced at 79~900,000~
Ma Jiye's sports dream was shattered, and Ma Chenggang gave him a seemingly inconspicuous bicycle - in fact, from the century-old brand Raleigh in United Kingdom, his Swift model urban commuter mountain bike priced at 1299 yuan ~
During the period of pretending to be poor, there were still a lot of contrasting jokes created by the family.
Mr. Jia, a businessman who made a cameo appearance, said to Ma Chenggang: "I see that you are not missing arms and legs, why do you live like this"? As a result, it hit Chunlan's lung tube...
She hurriedly brought out the coffee filled with an enamel cup in the 90s and let Mr. Jia taste: whether it is freshly baked Jamaica coffee beans or the aroma of local coffee beans from Yunnan~
Without saying a word, she also offered a Cohiba cigar to entertain the other party. The action of cutting the head and lighting a cigarette is smooth and smooth in one go. I saw that Mr. Jia was stunned~
Cigar aficionados must be familiar with Cohiba from Cuba, a cigar brand that was once a favorite of Castro and often presented as a diplomatic gift.
Chunlan is a particular person, as long as her son goes to school, she enjoys the life of a noble lady in a "poor" family and does mask maintenance. You don't have to clean the room by yourself at all, because the neighbor at the door is the cleaning aunt...
Whenever I have free time, I go to the beauty salon to get my nails done. Although the nail art has just been done, it has to be washed off painfully after 3 seconds of appreciation...
It seems that the character is a family "boiling" woman, but in fact, it is also "in vain". The vegetables that her son bought from the vegetable market can be conjured into a nutritious meal by her (the chef at home) in an instant~

【Education】
The surface is not bitter and hard
Secretly smash resources
The education of the rich for their children is "poor" on the surface, and they secretly smash resources in places that others can't see. Therefore, Ma Chenggang's family, who pretended to be poor to the bones, actually had only one purpose: chicken baby.
In Ma Chenggang's view, only those who have endured hardships and become a school bully can be qualified to inherit the family business. Especially watching his son, who was born in a honey pot and was fed by his grandfather as a little chubby, strengthened his determination to pretend to be poor.
In line with the "original intention" of "no matter how sweet you are, you can't be a sweet child", and the hardships you have suffered when you are a child, you must let your son eat it again, Ma Chenggang arranged every day of his son Ma Jiye clearly, and let him live a life of "no bitterness" when he was a child.
There are obviously all kinds of million-dollar luxury cars in the garage, but Ma Jiye runs to and from school every day, starting from 5 kilometers at a time, laying the groundwork for himself to become a "sports student".
There is obviously a room of nannies and servants at home, but Ma Jiye has to chop wood, carry water, build a stove every day, and take care of all kinds of housework~
Obviously born in a wealthy family with a solid background, he had a miserable childhood of "low-income children and studying on grants". Since I was a child, I saw that my family was so poor that I couldn't open the pot, and my father was reluctant to change the soles of his shoes when they were worn out, but he didn't know that this was a "test" given to him by his parents.
Once, Ma Jiye bought an iPad with his "family funds" because of his greedy playfulness, and found that he couldn't retreat, so he was reduced to "picking up rags", and was bullied by his classmates halfway, and he couldn't even stand the "bodyguard" who was secretly observing, which was even more bitter than an ascetic.
Such a childhood really left a "shadow" on Ma Jiye. When I grew up running a marathon, my first thought when I saw bottles all over the floor was to pick them up...
Pull my mother and grandmother to eat "I still have to fish", just to eat a free snack at the door during the queue...
However, although he lived a hard life on the surface, Ma Jiye was different from ordinary poor children, he just seemed to be poor in life, and the resources he got were beyond the reach of others.
The foreign couple who asked him for directions on the way to school, and the foreigner uncle he met when shopping for groceries, were actually "English speaking teachers" carefully arranged by his father.
The neighbors are also artists, professors, and special education experts hired by my father with high salaries. From the physics group, the mathematics group, to the English group, all the staff are dispatched day and night to ensure the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty...
It is indeed hard to run to school, but there is a security team squatting and closely monitoring 24 hours a day on his way to school to ensure safety and no accidents.
went to the stadium to pick up bottles, and picked up someone else's year's worth in one afternoon, but I didn't know that the ball game and the venue were all contracted by my father. Even the security uncle outside the venue sighed: "I can't even pick up the rags without any resources these days"~
The family's small savings, my father handed over all the savings to him, which seems to be trust, but in fact, it is to cultivate financial intelligence from an early age. This is probably the "ceiling" of the rich family's "poor" children~
Behind such a careful arrangement, the purpose of Ma Chenggang's family is actually very pure: to let Ma Jiye be admitted to Qingbei.
From childhood to adulthood, from the chatter of parents, relatives, and neighbors, to the tips of the owner of the electronics store, and even to the last words of his grandmother, he was brainwashed to instill in him the concept of "I must be admitted to Qingbei", and he made up his mind to "change his fate" by reading since he was a child.
However, under the "Truman's world-style education and training", Ma Jiye grew up from the initial "script", and finally "deviated from the track", and finally lived his own life. At the same time, it also shattered the expectations of his parents and became the trumpet that was "practiced"...
After the family "pretended to be poor", they eventually returned to the "normal" life of the rich. Even if the surface changes for a short time, the core is still strong, because life can never be disguised.
