317 Crazy Stone

The most important thing for a movie is to tell a good story. Sima Jian and a film critic decided to see the young director's ability to tell stories.

The first thing that appeared was Guo Tao, who was checking in a clinic and watching the faucet behind the doctor dripping intermittently. This metaphorical expression method could make Sima Jian guess that he should have a prostate disease. This lens language is taught in school, so it can only be considered a passing class here, and there are not many surprising things.

As the swaying camera turned from the mountain city area below the cableway to the cross-river cableway, a slightly vulgar fat man appeared and talked about pseudo-arts such as "mother body" and "uterus" to a beautiful woman. After being hurt by the beautiful woman's high heels, he fell from a high altitude.

Then, a arrogant four-eyed person, wearing a suit that was not very fit, threatened the owner of the jade factory. If I don’t move, I will put the floor.

Then the picture changed. Liu Hua and two subordinates were wearing the clothes of a moving company and were helping people move. As soon as he went downstairs, he found that the police were giving a ticket.

In less than five minutes after the film ended here, four scenes appeared. Nearly ten characters appeared, and the relationship between the characters was not clearly connected, and they were not connected. Moreover, the clues of the story were also very chaotic, and each story was separate, which made Sima Jian, as a film critic, feel a little confused.

Is it pretending to be mysterious or not good at controlling it? Sima Jian put a question mark on his film review book.

From about the fifth minute, the story began to turn. First, the three-person moving company's vehicle was circulated by the traffic police for illegal parking. Liu Hua, the leader, gave a wink at his two subordinates, which made the audience understand that it was pretending to be a moving person to commit a burglary.

The man on the screen who had a middle part and had his bangs and his face was full of ruthlessness, slid a hammer out of his sleeve. He walked around from behind the car and was about to attack the police. When everyone was worried about the fate of the police, two cars collided not far away.

The subsequent story development made Sima Jian find that his judgment just now was a bit hasty. This young director who had always been despised by him cleverly used multi-cue narrative techniques to connect seemingly insignificant clues.

Siyan, who was turned away from the jade factory manager, took the spray paint and wrote the word "demolition" on the wall of the jade factory to vent his dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, Guo Tao's van was hit by his "Don't touch me" BMW, which attracted the traffic police who copied the signs.

The camera continues to cut back. The role played by Guo Tao is Bao Shihong, the security captain of the Jade Factory. He secretly stole the van in the factory to practice. Unfortunately, the windshield in the front of the car was broken by a can of Coke falling from the sky. Bao Shihong got off the car and rushed to the cableway and cursed him. He forgot to pull the handbrake, which caused the van to slip and hit the four-eyed BMW.

Where did the Coke that fell from the sky come from? The fat man named Xie Xiaomeng at the beginning failed to pick up girls on the cable car, but was hit by high heels and fell down.

Four clues and four groups of characters were linked together by chance, forming an interesting closed loop. The clever setting firmly attracted the attention of everyone present, amazed the media and critics who watched the movie. Even Qin Yu and Xu Zheng, who watched the movie for the first time, gave Ning Hao a thumbs up to him, sitting not far away.

Multi-clue narrative? Guy Richie?

Sima Jian found that the young man who was not good-looking at the premiere really perfectly mastered this narrative style. The story rhythm of the first ten minutes was no less than Guy Ritchie's "Two Big Smoke Bowls".

Sima Jian, who restrained his contempt, began to calm down and watch the movie carefully. As the plot continued to develop, the whole story was presented to everyone.

Bao Shihong, who crashed into the car, found his wife who drove the minibus to get the money. Wang Yuwen appeared on the screen, causing Qin Yu's legs to have a mark. Fortunately, Wang Yuwen had few shots, and in a flash, Song Ran was gradually attracted by the story and took his hand away from Qin Yu's soft muscles.

Xu Zheng plays the role of the unscrupulous developer, Dong Feng. He appears extremely cruel when he appears with a bow and crossbow. It turns out that he wants to get the land in the jade factory with the help of debt relationship and send his subordinates to collect it.

Unexpectedly, the jade factory found a priceless piece of jadeite when it was demolishing the factory, which made the money owed to Mr. Feng turn around. Director Xie planned to hold an exhibition to increase the popularity of the stone and found the factory security captain Bao Shihong to be responsible for security work. Siyans gave Director Feng the idea to steal it out, which cut off Director Xie's idea, and finally found the international thief Mike to implement it.

Compared with Bao Shihong and the trio of thieves who are casually dressed, the international thief Mike played by Qin Yu has a very international look. When he appears, he chews gum, earrings, sunglasses, and a leather jacket, which is quite cool.

However, it was only three seconds before the international thief appeared. Not long after he appeared, he was smeared by Hei Pi, played by Huang Bo. He also contributed a classic line from Qin Yu that made the audience smile: "I'll beat you!"

After the trio of thieves led by Brother Dao stole Mike's suitcase, he also focused on this valuable jadeite.

At this time, the security team, the international thief and the thief all appeared. Several teams fought wits and courage for this priceless jade, and performed a black comedy full of absurdity.

Ning Hao, who is a professional photography student, has used his lens language characteristics well and is extremely good at capturing the expression characteristics of actors.

The "Bao Shihong" who is full of justice and persists in his responsibilities, the "Dao Ge" who is scheming but eager to achieve success, the "Dong Feng" who is indifferent to life, the "black skin" who is reckless and unconscious, the "four eyes" who are arrogant, the "Xiaojun" who is timid and afraid of things, and the "Xie Xiaomeng" who is vulgar and lustful, all contributed wonderful performances, which impressed the critics present.

Mike, the international thief, was repeatedly tricked by the trio of incompetent thieves. He was either stolen by the box or deliberately sounded the alarm bell, and was frightened and fled in panic. He could even be deceived by local vendors when buying a rope, resulting in being hung on the beam and unable to move forward and backward.

The same unlucky one is also Hei Pi, played by Huang Bo. The sewer exit was suppressed by Mike's BMW and was blocked in the sewer. The only one who could come over was his. He originally hoped to take his "career" to a higher level by stealing jade, but he didn't expect to die in the end.

In the end, the international thief who was unwilling to fail finally grabbed the jade from Dong Feng and found out that the real buyer was Dong Feng, who had just been killed by himself.

How long has it been since I watched such a black humorous drama with smooth plot? Sima Jian didn’t know. The last time he was able to relax so happily was Feng Xiaogang’s “Party A and Party B”, but in his subsequent New Year’s films, only “Big Star” can be called good.

In addition to the protagonist's performance, the supporting role's interpretation is also a fulfilling existence of the entire story.

In the comedy "Party A and Party B" which was praised by Sima Jian, in addition to being the first Chinese New Year comedy, it is more about the portrayal of small characters in this film. Whether it is the bookstore owner played by Yingda or the chef played by Li Qi, even the domestic violence man played by Fu Biao has deeply remembered the audience. This is something that can never be seen again in Feng Xiaogang's later New Year dramas.

Unexpectedly, today I saw these wonderful performances of small characters in Ning Hao's film "Crazy Stone".

Feng’s secretary four eyes looked arrogant and proud in front of Director Xie, Bao Shihong and others, [Dog-ho’s high-tech, real driverless], [See clearly, be touched]. But in front of Feng, he nodded and bowed like a slave. [Hundred steps of wearing a sunny tree, Chinese and Western styles are combined, if you design, those who will have no food to eat]. Through a series of lines and his expression, the characters like chameleons are portrayed in a vivid way.

Xie Xiaomeng, a lustful prodigal son of Mankou, pretended to be a cripple and deceived his father in order to pick up girls, and also dropped the jade displayed in order to pick up girls. However, he did not expect that the woman he pleased was Brother Dao's girlfriend, which made him fall into the dilemma of being beaten and kidnapped. All kinds of coincidences made the audience in front of the screen laugh.

There are also the timid Xiaojun, the impulsive Sanbao, and the scheming Director Xie. These little characters are not well-known actors, but they can interpret the characters they play vividly.

In addition to these, the play has a lot of vivid and interesting lines, which also makes the audience very happy and burst into laughter.

"I'll take you down." This line that Mike appeared on different occasions was anger, depression and helplessness.

"Are you worthy of your elder brother? Are you worthy of me?" Xiaojun's complaint to his sister-in-law not only made everyone laugh, but also made them think a lot.

"It's a public toilet, you can go whenever you want!" Bao Shihong's hoarse roar revealed a hint of helplessness and unwillingness.

Sima Jian counted silently and found that there was a joke in this drama within three minutes on average, and each joke was different. It perfectly captured the audience's appetite and ended up laughing without realizing it.

In the end, Hei Pi, who had been trapped in the sewer for many days, was hungry and escaped. The queen robbed someone else's bread and was chased on the ring road and ran wildly.
