ning hao, who has not directed a feature film for many years, released the warm comedy "breaking good guys" on this national day.
the protagonist "zhang beijing" played by ge you was born out of the "me and mine" series of gift films.
because the character is likeable, this independent episode was created.
the plot is not complicated. it can be summed up in one sentence as a huge traffic test under the mid-life crisis.
being an internet celebrity has brought about a sudden increase in wealth and social fame. as a public figure, the doubts and abuses encountered after his behavior is infinitely magnified make the whole film a roller coaster of jokes and a dramatic plot.
while laughing, it is not difficult to read the bitter satire of reality from the comedy, including the portrayal of zhang beijing as a "good guy".director ning hao has both overt praise and covert derogatory projections.
there is a plot in the film:
under the dark waters of the internet, zhang beijing was unable to resist. after tracing the source for several days, he still didn’t know who was hacking him.
the camera moved to his small bungalow in the second ring road. roses were scattered into the bathtub, red wine was placed just right, and zhang beijing half-slyly and half-seriously invited "the beauty to take a bath."
the previous decadent atmosphere was swept away by the rich sentiment in front of him.
zhang beijing frequently expressed his goodwill to lingzi and made a lot of flirtatious remarks. the sudden power outage was interpreted as "god's will".
some viewers questioned, is this emotional scene really necessary?
on more than one occasion, in the first half of the film, zhang beijing made sexual hints to his unnamed girlfriend, which inevitably seemed greasy.
according to uncle chai, this plot has nothing to do with the main plot, but has two functions -
the first layer enhances zhang beijing’s sense of reality. humans all have an animal side. this is not a commendation ceremony for good people and good deeds;
on the second level, the director reminds the audience that zhang beijing has moral flaws and that this good man is not innocent.
when the audience looks at zhang beijing's various behaviors from a dialectical perspective, this character also shows two sides besides being a "good guy".
the farce originated when zhang beijing was deprived of the right to speak at his son's wedding.
the starting point of all his actions is around "protecting rights" and wanting to "stand out" in front of his son.
there is only one way for zhang beijing to protect his rights, which is to use his own influence to spread the whole incident to a wider area and wait for the relevant departments to resolve it.
the racecourse incident, the beauty salon incident, and the square dancing incident are all the same.
the problem arises from "sitting and waiting": making the matter bigger and intensifying the conflict, without seeing any reaction or reporting from him during the whole process, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
wang hai, a "professional anti-counterfeiter" in reality, has a very clear understanding of his own behavior. wang hai said that he is not a whistleblower to protect the public. the purpose of anti-counterfeiting is to obtain benefits from bad business practices.
wang hai never shows up, but there is an extremely mature legal team behind him.
zhang beijing in the film is the complete opposite, with a very high moral high ground and almost zero legal support.
so the window was smashed in the middle of the night, and brother kui also said, "this thing was not done properly."
zhang beijing's understanding of the word "rights protection" is only at the level of martial arts novels.
he mistakenly transferred the right of "speaking at his son's wedding" to "speaking for the vulnerable groups in society."
can xiaojia and everyone be the same thing?
in addition to being simple-minded, zhang beijing's contractual spirit is also worrying.
jin guangfa tricked zhang beijing into buying a wig for 980 yuan.
zhang beijing didn't use it, so he came to return it and said half of it would be fine.
it’s not that zhang beijing returned the goods wrong, but except for the tricycle vendor who couldn’t find a second id except for the payment code, all he made was your stupid money.
you can't read the five major and three major characters in chinese characters, it all depends on your mouth.
how is it possible to refund your money?
the frustrated zhang beijing, catalyzed by this incident, accelerated his transformation into a rights activist.
after signing the contract with mcn, wei quan unilaterally tore up the contract.
the other party tried to persuade him that there would be liquidated damages if his character collapsed, but zhang beijing refused to listen and insisted on sending warmth to the orphans and widowed mothers.
putting aside the rationality of zhang beijing's operation, judging from his attitude alone, he deserves to be a rental car owner for the rest of his life.
make a decision on the spur of the moment, completely regardless of the consequences, and forget about contracts and contracts.
some viewers may recognize his righteousness, but have things really turned out for the better? are orphans and widowers worse off?
if it weren't for the screenwriter's golden finger that killed mcn, the liquidated damages alone would have kept zhang beijing busy for the rest of his life.
the director used this not only to criticize zhang beijing for not having the basic contractual spirit of modern society, but also to ridicule the blind arrogance and simple-mindedness of the generation of middle-aged people represented by him.
same plot, another one.
at the end, the estimated value of the statue obtained by chance is "several zeros."
zhang beijing felt no sleepy at all.
the mcn boss asked him for it, and zhang beijing chicken thief suddenly appeared: didn’t he give you 5,000?
this 5,000 yuan was originally a living expense that zhang beijing gave to his boss out of kindness when he saw how miserable he was when he went bankrupt.
as soon as i heard that it was profitable, this kindness immediately became a bargaining chip.
you can't criticize zhang beijing as hypocritical, right? after all, real money comes from others;
but you can’t praise zhang beijing for being smart, right? for good intentions to produce good results, doesn’t there have to be a prerequisite for the other party’s consent?
it seems that zhang beijing does not have a fixed and unified moral standard. his kindness and loyalty have certain prerequisites, and his character contains some prerequisite philistine.
therefore, zhang beijing is very good.
from the two son characters of "zhang xiaojing" and "da shan", we can also read the director's satire on his parents.
zhang xiaojing does not dislike his biological father's meager financial resources. his definition of a good person is: lei feng and bethune.
dashan angrily smashed the live broadcast site, and his original intention was "i don't want to help you deceive people."
the two children have become the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty in the world, constantly urging and educating their parents to be kind to others.
zhang xiaojing has two fathers, while dashan has no father. the two of them maintain the simple kindness of human nature. the director not only satirizes the absence of his father in family life, but also criticizes the current profit-seeking social atmosphere.
but these two sons are still too "vacuum".
when zhang beijing followed the network cable and found that the boss who hacked him turned out to be a group of children, he was angry and helpless.
the negative aspects of the internet's manipulation of human nature have been exposed.
suzuko said that taxi drivers are no worse than internet celebrities, but she still appeared in the rights protection team in the second half;
teacher yang is full of insults and politeness, and he is also a coward when faced with black bricks being thrown;
the adoptive father played by jia bing looks rough on the outside but is very competitive on the inside.
so you see, every person and every plot in the film has two sides.
the four words "hot-selling good guy" have a strong sense of conflict if you look closely.
hot style is a new term on the internet. traffic itself has nothing to do with good or bad. there are many people who get rich overnight from the black and red industry;
a good person is a broad definition of human character in traditional values. different people have different definitions of good standards.
a popular person may not necessarily be a good person, and a good person may not necessarily be a popular person.
ning hao used the character of zhang beijing to satirize the impact of the internet on traditional values and examine the distorted relationships between people under the premise of traffic.
we also look forward to seeing every effort she makes in the future.
