"i stepped on a real landmine, what should i do? waiting online, it's urgent." the leader stepped on a landmine, a real landmine that could explode at any time. should i save people or pass the buck? should i call the police or pass the buck? should i clear the landmine or pass the buck? if you don't take the blame, you have to pass the blame. if you don't take the blame, you have to pass the blame. if you don't take the blame, you have to pass the blame. if one person steps on a landmine, everyone will collapse.

this absurd and anxious plot comes from the movie "big scene" released during the mid-autumn festival. "big scene" is a "disaster comedy movie" directed and written by li ji, with xu luyang as the script consultant, starring wang tianfang, ma xudong, guan le, kuku teng, lv yan, ye liu, zhang youwei, li fei, with special appearances by tu dou and zhang cheng, and wang yiwei as a friendly appearance. this film is a key support project of the "china film youth filmmaker program". it also integrates the real workplace ecology and human thinking in the absurd and funny.
on september 15, the national roadshow of the movie "big scenes" "before you come, they are all small scenes" landed in shanghai. director and screenwriter li ji, producer liu ran, starring wang tianfang, ma xudong, guan le, and cool teng came to shanghai for the roadshow.

the story of the movie "big scene" is set on a small island in the south pacific, where the filming of the most powerful war epic in history is in full swing. however, an accident happened suddenly. the arrogant and domineering top star lin dong (played by ma xudong) accidentally stepped into the minefield and stepped on a "loose-type" mine when shooting the last set of big scene shots. once the foot is loosened, the mine will explode, and the big star's life will hang by a thread in an instant. this sudden incident, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly broke the calm of the crew.

faced with this crisis, the crew members showed different reactions. the old-timer producer lao ma (played by zhang youwei) tried to appease everyone with light words, but his statement that "maybe it was just an empty can" was obviously unconvincing. the "rich second generation" yang shaoye (played by the cool teng) was helpless and furious, shaking people around; the mean director sun mantang (played by lu yan) was indifferent and quietly hung up. the sound engineer lele (played by guan le), the assistant director shi liu (played by ye liu), the prop xiao liu (played by li fei) and others took turns to perform sad faces, helpless about the thunder-stepping incident, perfectly interpreting the life of all beings who seemed to be exhausted and tried their best to save, but in fact they were all watching the fire from the other side of the river for fear of being implicated. at this critical moment, the soul figure stand-in qiangzi (played by wang tianfang) appeared on the scene, holding a crutches to find the police, and physically contributed his efforts, while also providing spiritual comfort. however, the phrase "no matter who comes, it will explode and it will be useless" seems to have pushed this landmine incident into an abyss.

the performances of the actors are even more remarkable. they have a good understanding of each other both in and out of the play, and they are ready to create unexpected surprises at any time. at the same time, through the portrayal of the crew, the various aspects of life in the workplace are shown, which resonates with the audience.
actor teng, who is cool, said with emotion, "more than two years ago, we didn't know what sketch was. we just wanted to bring joy to more people, and then we went from variety shows to now, and onto the screen. the director brought us together, and the original intention was to let everyone feel the joy and feel some of the things we want to express."
lead actor wang tianfang said excitedly in his speech after the screening that when he saw the script, he felt that this role was almost "tailor-made" for him. "before i became an actor on stage, i worked behind the scenes for many years, from assistant to deputy director to executive director. i have seen the lower perspectives of the crew. i believe i can interpret this role well."

ma xudong, who plays the villain, "complained" after listening to wang tianfang's speech: "he tailors the clothes to my feet, but the shoes don't fit me." then he changed the subject: "although i have never been a big star and the shoes don't fit me, it doesn't matter. i have watched many plays and seen many shoes."
although the plot of "stepping on a landmine" is extreme, the various situations in the process of solving the problem are not unfamiliar. director li ji said that when he was shooting this movie, although he started from comedy, he also hoped to explore more. "we have observed in our daily lives that everyone may have a 'landmine' on their backs. this landmine is just a metaphor for real life. this landmine stimulates people's original joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, kindness, and evil." li ji said, "we use the crew to show this story. it is just a carrier of a small society. the movie has exaggerated elements, but there are many topics for everyone to discuss."
good friends yang yuguang and guo zhanhao braved the rain and wind to come and show their support: "i thought it was just a very happy group show, but i found it to be the best movie i have seen this year. it is very good, and each character is very vivid."

one viewer noticed a name in a black frame at the end of the film. teng said, "that's my father. he knew i starred in this movie last year, but he didn't see it in person. every time i see his name, i feel as if he also saw the movie and my 'big scene'."
