撰写Special feature of 1905 film network"Three best friends, a difficult problem."
This is slogan on the movie poster, but I didn’t expect it to become a care in reality now.
Perhaps in the eyes of most viewers, this film is probably more exciting than the story in the play. After all kinds of twists and turns, the box office is now nearly 180 million, and the overall situation is indeed "too difficult".
Before the release, the storm of "Little Wish" was wave after wave, and the statements of actors and filmmakers were also one after another. In the suspicion of the outside world, the news related to the film was fancy on the hot search. In the end, the outside world seems to point to: Wang mainland has doubled.
But unexpectedly, Darren Wang also issued a statement, saying that it didn’t overwhelm, and that it was the "first man" as agreed.
After a rashomon event about "Fan Wei", the film side finally responded, saying that when signing the contract, Peng Yuchang and Wang Dalu were both "the first male owners". Then, in order to protect their favorite actors, fans expressed their desire to boycott the actors, which finally affected many "people who eat melons" and lost their desire to watch movies.
In the end, the cat’s eye score of the film is 8.6, and that of Taobao Film is 8.1, which is higher than that of "Detective Conan". As for the box office, it is lower than the former, but it is about to catch up with the latter.
Before and after the release, Peng Yuchang, the party concerned, wrote many times that the three actors and directors were good brothers. It’s not counting, it’s still in the process of roadshow, witness, "We are good friends.",and kiss each other with the director at the scene, to prove friendship.
It is true that fans and spectators finally look at the film with colored glasses because of various storms.
But in fact, the fan position itself is a "false proposition". As Hu Jianli, director of the China Film Critics Association, said, "How an actor expresses himself in a film and television, and how you rank, in fact, you need to win through your superb acting skills."
Putting aside the right and wrong that has nothing to do with the content of the film and returning to the film itself, is "Little Wish" worth watching?
Xiao Dianjun thinks it is worth seeing.
Director Yu-sheng Tian said that this work is about his own youth. In fact, after watching such a movie, who won’t think of a good brother and a good girlfriend who have been with him for many years?
In the form of pure comedy, the film allows the audience to laugh with the actors’ performances during the watching process, but at the end, it brings a sense of pain to everyone.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the single-day box office of "Little Wish" slowly began to climb, and it has maintained the second place in the single-day box office for four consecutive days. Visible,After the storm subsides, the audience can still pay attention to the film itself..
Let creation return to creation
Director Yu-sheng Tian said in an interview, "According to my understanding, the three of them are equally important, and they are all set by different people."
The movie story is very simple, that is, Darren Wang and Daxun Wei together realize a dying wish for their good friend Peng Yuchang.
Usually, when watching romantic movies, the audience will be very concerned about whether the man and the woman have a "CP sense". Similarly, in movies about brotherhood, the audience is also extremely concerned about whether there is a spark between actors. This kind of spark comes not only from the collision of actors’ acting skills, but also from the feelings outside the play.
"Several of us are well acquainted with each other by drinking," Yu-sheng Tian, the director, said in an interview that four people knew each other more than once. "I called the three of them together, and I said you didn’t know each other? Suddenly we became brothers as soon as we cooperated, which was really good. "
This kind of brotherhood is much like the brotherhood of "nothing can’t be solved by wine" in the dormitory at university. Today, all four of them have independent WeChat groups.
In "Little Wish", we can see the trio of Peng Yuchang, Darren Wang and Daxun Wei, who have the silly and careless friendship when boys are in adolescence.
Although the three actors are not of different ages, when they play high school graduates, they are very integrated as a whole, coupled with their own sense of youth, which is not inconsistent in the film.Moreover, the three actors maximize their own advantages, making some seemingly ordinary scenes particularly interesting, even in the same type of movies, without being greasy at all.
The film is presented as a farce, but behind the farce is actually a two-sided reality.
The death at the end and the youth throughout have become opposites, and the emotion brought by the latter under the stimulation of the former has moved everyone in the film and us in front of the screen.
In such a movie with a definite ending, everyone is still trying to live an upward life and show a relaxed attitude when facing the known death. This seemingly cruel state makes the audience face farewell truly and rationally.
The courage of comedy
"Little Wish" itself is full of courage.
Looking back on 2018, among the top ten Chinese movies at the annual box office, 7 movies contain comedy elements, among which the typical popcorn comedy movies. Except for the Spring Festival, the number of comedies released this year is much less than that of last year.
So far, among the top 10 Chinese-language movies at the box office in 2019, only three movies contain comedy elements (,and), and most others are movies with such realistic themes.
Even in the past summer file, comedic movies were ignored collectively, and several other movies ended up as "much talk, little rain". However, other comedy films are hard to compete with previous comedy films in terms of production cost and popularity of the main creative team, not to mention the explosion of pure comedy films.
On the contrary, "Little Wish" can still be finalized in the form of a comedy and released in the storm. This courage is actually quite commendable.
What are the audience thinking when watching a comedy movie? This in itself is a myth of the creator.
Ne Zha is a comic story that dares to break through the definition. Flying Life is a comedy film wrapped in the core of tragedy."Little Wish" is a comedy to tell a tragedy, especially to set off the tragic reality in the second half with the joy in the first half.
“Comedy is the most difficult to write, and everyone’s experience is different, so it is difficult to make people laugh at everything.",director Yu-sheng Tian once confided in Xiao Dianjun when he was interviewed in 2014."There are many types of comedies, and each type must resonate with everyone in order to be truly successful."
Little Wish is such a work that touched him from the beginning of the script.
"Absurdity and romance" is how Yu-sheng Tian described this story. "This story can directly remind me of those ridiculous times when I was a child." So in the end, he made this time so interesting and distracting.
This kind of creation is long-lost. When more and more creators focus on the creation of realistic films, there can still be such a comedy film to meet the audience.
What is even more rare is that this is to face death with a smile, and to show reverence for life with a decent farewell ceremony. We can’t forget that when the role played by Peng Yuchang was fixed at the age of 19 in the movie, he was actually bidding farewell to his youth.
This farewell is pure, just like the movie itself.
When recommending this film, film critic Shi Hang expressed the progress of the director’s skill and emphasized that "I don’t like Ex 3, but I really like Little Wish."
Perhaps, for the evaluation of this film,We should jump out of all public opinions and return to the work itself..
