it's a family movie, with a hilarious family movie.
If the total score is 100, I give 65 points.
Here are the spoilers:
-------------------------------------------- -------------
These days coincide with the flooding of the Shuimu Movie version. The main topic is that the movies before Stephen Chow's Comedy King are good, or after he directed and acted (the establishment of Xinghui Company). The film is nice. The shift in the star's style is unacceptable to many. The low-level jokes that used to be heartless and heartless were gone, and the jokes began to bring tears, and the childhood dream came true. If you're someone who doesn't like late-star movies, then don't watch them. Because this Yangtze River No. 7 is almost the most nonsensical Stephen Chow movie.
In the whole film, Zhou Xingchi himself hardly shakes any burdens. The jokes are all handled by his son Xiao Di, the alien dog Qizai, and the teachers and classmates of Xiao Di's school. There are many tributes to the scenes in Stephen Chow's films in the past. For example, the famous Tathagata Palm in Kung Fu was re-presented by Xiao Di almost intact, and even the bird that was stepped on in mid-air looks the same (I don’t know if the special effects company is lazy). The dominant Tathagata was replaced by the alien dog, Yangtze No. 7. There is also a big test of Qizai's expression to pay tribute to Zhou Xingxing's trial in the King of Comedy. At the end, it pays tribute to the three thousand beauties of the harem of 008, a secret agent in Ouchi. There is also the appearance of the Xiaoqiang family. The episode of the stars looking for something to beat his son is the re-presentation of Cecilia Cheung looking for something to beat the stars in The King of Comedy.
The paragraph in Xiao Di's dream is indeed the most exaggerated and funny concentrated paragraph in the whole film. In addition to Tathagata's Palm, there are also Qizai fighting wild dogs, and there are traces of Zhou Xingxing's idol Bruce Lee. The part of Xiao Di's physical education class is like the combination of Variety Star and Forrest Gump (the part on the treadmill), and the kick of playing is Shaolin football. In addition, friends who used to say that Stephen Chow's movies are full of feces and urine can "eat a pound" this time, hehe, because there are a lot of feces and urine.
But overall, the film's jokes have softened a lot more than before. Even feces and urine, because of the cute Qizai, the degree of nausea is greatly reduced, and the level of cartoons is increasing. It can be said that due to the participation of many young actors and the theme of the film, the funny part of this film is very similar to the live-action version of Cherry Maruko or Crayon Shin-chan, very cartoon and cute.
Tell the storyline.
Zhou Xingxing plays a widower who lives in an abandoned building with his son. He saved his life and let his son go to an aristocratic school. Picked up the alien dog. The son imagined that the alien dog could help him realize many wishes, but it was useless. But Alien Dog's ability is a repair function, from rotten apples to broken fans to dead people, it can be repaired. Xingye was finally dragged by the steel cylinder pipe that fell off the construction site, and fell to his death from a high-rise building. It was also the Yangtze River No. 7 who rescued Xingye, but Qizai himself ran out of energy and died. And the relationship between the son and Xing Ye was reconciled because he lost his father this time and returned to his father's arms. The basic story is very simple.
There are some plots that don't make sense to me, but they don't affect the narrative, and they don't affect the gist of the movie. For example, no matter how hard mainland migrant workers are, how can they afford the tuition fees of aristocratic schools?
In addition, the connection between Zhou Xingxing's accident and the previous one was sloppy, and it appeared suddenly.
Talk about an actor's performance.
Star Lord's role is not very good. It may be that the migrant workers in my imagination are much darker than him. Basically, such migrant workers are impossible. Send my son to an aristocratic school... The school won't accept it. His own performance is basically the same. When he is not funny, he is basically expressionless and looks very serious, but after watching it for a long time, I want to laugh (perhaps this is Zhou Xingxing's sadness).
Xu Jiao, the little girl who played his son, was basically a girl, except that she shaved a boy's head and wore boys' clothes. The dubbing should be Xu Jiao's own voice. As soon as the voice is heard, you can tell that it is a girl. You can't deceive anyone. The voice of boys and girls is very clear. In the performance, although she tried her best to play the boy's wild and carefree, she still looked like a tomboy. The part where the alien dog is deformed is great, but the rest of the time is mediocre, just a cute tomboy.
The egg tart head of the rich boy who always bullied Xu Jiao was also played by a girl, and he knew it was a girl as soon as he heard it. Milky voice.
In the play, Zhou's dragon group only sees Fat Zaicong and Siyan Zai. Fat Zaicong doesn't have many scenes, and he's not funny either. Basically no performance opportunities. The director played by Four Eyes is very face-to-face, and is as flat as ever.
The role of star girl Zhang Yuqi continued the fate of Huang Shengyi in the previous film and Zhao Wei in the front part, both of which had few roles. And there's really no romance at all. Zhang Yuqi only has one set of cheongsam in the whole film. She has a very explosive figure and acts... Anyway, she doesn't fit into the drama, or it doesn't match with comedy. She speaks in only one rhythm. Zhang Yuqi may be the bleakest star girl in history, and there is almost no room for development in the film.
The favorite female character in the film is Xiaofen, the little girl that Xiao Di likes. She is very cute when she hits flies.
In particular, Ruhua has a children's giant version. Zhou Xingxing found a plump adult, put on a child's uniform and dressed like a flower, secretly fell in love with and protected Xiao Di.
Talk about the male No. 2 Yangtze No. 7. An alien dog. It started out as a plastic ball dropped by aliens in a junkyard. Later, he began to transform into an alien dog. It may be limited by technology, the body is green, and it is too cartoony, like the body of a traditional mud tiger. There is hair on the head, but not much of the hair in the film. Big eyes grab the show, but it certainly reduces the difficulty of production. Because of the limited stunts, there are a lot of plot designs to make up for it. So don't expect to see Hollywood-level stunts.
Anyway, as a family film, it's still quite warm and has a lot of jokes, but it's not very original. Maybe people who have seen many Stephen Chow movies will resonate with certain parts.
