=================================

Where there are old guns, there are rivers and lakes.
In the new film "Old Pao'er" directed by Guan Hu, Feng Xiaogang is the sixth master of the alley, a knight who sees injustice on the road, and the rebellious ostrich at the end of the film who is unwilling to be overtaken by the traffic jams. Be resentful to patients with myocardial infarction who have blocked blood vessels and have difficulty breathing.
The stars have changed, and the times have changed dramatically. Along with the scenery and legends of the old guns, there are also the rules of the rivers and lakes that have been passed down from generation to generation. The old guns are the representatives of a special era. When the new century comes, they are destined to be replaced by new forces. Old Pao'er and Xiao Pao'er formed the beam, the love-hate relationship between Lao Tzu and the boy is far from an eye for an eye for a tooth for a tooth.
Everyone was surprised when the world's oldest film festival announced that the seemingly commercial "Lao Pao Er" was selected as the closing film. On the evening of September 8, the film made its first unofficial debut in Watertown early. The screening location was the press conference hall, which is rarely used to watch movies. Although the 135-minute film length, half the back of the chair and the high-hanging screen make people feel aching back, but after watching it, it still makes people frown -- good film, it's done.
Compared with Guan Hu's predecessors "Bull Fighting", "Killing Life" and "The Cook and Playing the Ruffian", "Old Pao'er" abandons all kinds of fancy techniques in structure and audio-visual language, and is not as strong in style as revealed in the previous trailer. Calmly and straightforwardly, without rushing or slowing down, speaking in a eloquent manner. The protagonist and supporting roles, the main line and the sub-line are all remarkable. Feng Xiaogang starred in his true colors, and his interpretation was so refined that no academic performance department could teach him; Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng also found the connection point between the idol's brilliance and the plot needs; Xu Qing, as a veritable female lead, performed unexpectedly The land is good, the princess disease is gone, and the refreshing performance of the Beijing girl movie is performed.
In the current film market where the two major factions of "art" and "business" are drifting apart, "Old Pao'er" makes people see the beautiful scene of the two sides shaking hands and making peace; Pao'er" can regenerate arrogant qi and invigorate spirit. The film is not perfect, but it deserves to be a work of intentions with the significance of the times and the value of thinking. Being a father and a son, no matter how old you are, there are everything you want to see, and the box office will not be bad. The following is just a few words of numbers and images to outline its general appearance for you.

[Counting Lao Pao'er]

90% of the scenes: Feng Xiaogang is featured in 90% of the scenes in the movie, and Liu Ye is the absolute hero. Most of the domestic films are story-centered, and people-centered monuments and biography are mostly heroes and great men. The selection of materials for this film is unique, and it outlines the "old gunners" group in old Beijing with points and surfaces. To put it bluntly, Lao Pao'er is an old gangster and an old hooligan.

4 nostalgic things: at the beginning of the movie, I will not talk about anything else. I will first talk about the 4 nostalgic things that Lao Pao'er Liu Yeguan manages: scold thieves, educate young couples, teach urban management, raise money to redeem people, and show Jianghu Lao Pao'er" She lived a life of chivalrous spirit after returning to the Hutong, and later reprimanded the delinquent teenagers and onlookers.

15min: Within 15 minutes of the opening, Feng Xiaogang and Xu Qing staged a big passionate scene. Xiaogang contributed half of his buttocks and Xu Qing boldly showed his hemisphere. The place where the passion is released is Xu Qing's hair salon.

25min: In the opening 25 minutes, Li Yifeng first appeared in the video of his roommate's cell phone, indicating that he was in trouble. In the first half, Li Yifeng didn't show much face and lines, but in the middle and second part, he began to have a lot of father-son rivalry with Feng Xiaogang, which is his best performance since he started filming.

49min: Wu Yifan's character appeared in the opening 49 minutes, but he still hugged his pipa and covered his face for a while. Feng Xiaogang called him, only to hear his voice but not see him, and only showed his face after 2 minutes. Wu Yifan's Chinese and English name is still called Kris, and he does everything he can to be handsome, which is really suitable for him.

3 Rings and 12 Young Masters: For old Beijing, outside the Second Ring Road is another world. In the film, a group of gangsters headed by Wu Yifan called themselves "3 Rings and 12 Young Masters". In the film, Feng Xiaogang also laughed at himself and said to the police, "I'm a 3rd ring 13th young man, right?"

200 yuan: When Liu Ye set foot on Xunzi Road, he met a girl who asked for help under the overpass and gave her 200 yuan. The 200 yuan later became the only warm reward in the dark days.

100,000 yuan: Xiao Fei, played by Wu Yifan, has a precious red Ferrari, and Xiaobo, played by Li Yifeng, deliberately made a long hole on the door. Sixth Master sincerely wanted to lose money with 2,000 yuan in his hands, but was ridiculed by the rich second-generation group, and the price was 100,000 yuan.

7.86 million euros: hatred is like a snowball, when is the time for retribution. The sixth master was involved in the quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper. In the end, he found that things were not as simple as being competitive and unable to breathe, and the little people would also touch the brink of a huge conspiracy.

2nd degree of tears: Feng Xiaogang's performance is very good, his face is calm, and his heart is full of drama. After dinner and reconciliation with his son, and when he came back from the hospital by taxi, Liu Ye cried silently twice, which made people sad and distressed.

2 Generations: The core of the film is that the old generation of old gunners meet the new generation of young masters, and the set of rules that happened when they were galloping around in the past is not working. Lao Pao'er is a generation that was eliminated by the wave of reform and opening up. He has no culture. With his passion, his final end is often very bleak. Lao Paoer has been educating young people to be polite and respectful from beginning to end, but the intergenerational gap is destined to be filled forever.

N guest appearances: Do you think the starring cast is amazing? In fact, the cameo lineup is equally strong. Zhang Yi was the one who enforced the law violently, Liang Jing was selling pancakes and fruits, Ning Hao was held down by the police on the street, Bai Jugang was the one who modified the car, and Lian Yiming was the nouveau riche... The most unexpected thing was that he sang for charity in front of a hospital bed. TFBOYS, it is estimated that the four-leaf clover will flock to the cinema for the two seconds of electric shock for the three little ones.

Pao'er] Beijing Films: As a Chinese audience, one of the great pleasures is to feel the strong Beijing accent in "Lao Pao'er". And ignore the dozens of "fuck" that appear in the film, what are the "fuck you", "the son of a bitch can't help himself and come back", "return to one", "distracted", each one. Kind of mouth gun, sharp, humorous, strong enough, and tasteful.

Hutong: The story begins in a hutong, and the crew also worked hard on the original flavor of the hutong. The messy piles of debris, covered with a layer of dust, wafted the aroma of fried dough sticks and pancakes. Playing with birds, walking around, meddling, complaining, Lao Pao's daily life is no different from other Hutong masters. It was the first time that the sixth master went to the shared house to find his son. The old figure was standing in front of the densely packed real estate, in stark contrast to the hutong scene.

Old house: Although Liu Ye's status is high, his net worth is not rich. One hundred thousand yuan can drive him to the bottom of the mountain. An old house is all his assets. The value of the old house is also mentioned several times in the film, such as when he promised his son to open a bar, Chatterbox taunted him "you only have this house left", and Liu Ye gave her the house to thank Chatterbox, etc.

Circle: Lao Paoer is not a person, but a group of people. The old cannons who were all-powerful in the past are now scattered all over the place, and they have become car repairers, freight forwarders, drivers, local tyrants, and those who are fettered by the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt. However, "Six Master is in trouble" is still a powerful and powerful secret phrase in the rivers and lakes, which can be answered with a single call. Typical like Zhang Hanyu's Man San'er, he is a real man who can stick a knife between his ribs at any time.

Rules: A word that Liu Ye repeats tirelessly, the young must have rules for the old, the humble and respectful must have rules, and the common people must have rules for the country. If the two sides make trouble, even if they have to fight, they must pay attention to the rules of the fight, make an appointment on the time and place, and settle one thing after another.

Wolfberry Tremella Soup: Liu Ye usually has wolfberry and tremella soup in his cup. Called Uncle, he doesn't agree with the old man, but his body and bones are indeed not as good as before. I had a passionate conversation with the chatterbox Xu Qing, and at the end I had to say, "I got distracted", which heralded the beginning of a red light for health.

Strong light: The sixth master saw Xiaofei played by Wu Yifan three times, and he was blinded by the strong light. The first time was the lights of the sports car at night, the second time was the flashlight of the repair factory, and the third time was Xiaofei's family pull. The open curtains imply that in the face of powerful new forces, the old guns are in a weak position.

Speaker: Wu Yifan's character modeling is very cool and full of symbols. He installed a loudspeaker in his car and used it twice to speak to the sixth master who was in front of him. It was very aggressive and provocative, and it also indicated a more domineering channel.

Xiao Li Feidao: The first time Xiao Fei appeared in front of his face was when he was still attentively watching Gu Long's "Little Li Feidao" despite the urging of his elders. It can be seen that although Xiaofei is a gangster, he yearns for the spirit of the world, which can also explain why his attitude towards Liu Ye changed later.

Vessel occlusion: Rejecting Western medicine, refusing to operate, and only relying on drugs to get by, means that the stubborn old Paoer is destined to be unable to flow fresh blood.

Black Cat: In the end, Lao Pao'er was heartbroken, and he was ready to go and never return. The camera watched his back go away, and a black cat in the foreground glanced lazily. Black cats represent bad luck, and I am afraid that this trip will be more fortunate than good.

Military uniform, boots and saber: It symbolizes Lao Pao'er's unyielding breath and the spirit of holding his head high. Although the end of the film is a little provocative, it is very exciting to watch. Walking on the creaking ice, Lao Pao'er's fate is like walking on thin ice.

Ostrich: The ostrich is kept in the big iron cage of the courtyard by the rich, and it has become a portrayal of the old cannon in distress. In the end, the ostrich finally broke free from the cage as he said and ran wildly among the busy traffic, and Lao Pao'er cheered for it excitedly. This is one of the few romantic strokes in the film, and it has a taste of magical realism.

    Dislike, purely out of personal dislike. There are too many middle-aged men in the cities below the fifth tier. They have no skills but feel that they are awesome, so they give advice to the younger generation. There are many friends, every day is a dinner party, and the chat content is always how I was in the 1980s/90s. Curse your wife, beat your children, of course! I cannot and am not going to understand them in any sense.

    Passionate! Feng Xiaogang's acting skills are simply amazing, Xu Qing's acting skills have made great breakthroughs, even Li Yifeng and Wu Yifan of the new generation are impressive, but what the hell is TFboy... Guan Hu's peak work, there are also awesome gangster themes in mainland China!
