A piece of good news yesterday: After being depressed for more than half a year, we finally waited for Chinese-language movies to start to gain momentum.
The faucet is turned on, and the competition for the best films enters the climax.
Don't be happy too soon.
This is also a good time to fish in troubled waters.
Sir doesn’t dare to say who will be the best Chinese film in 2020.
But who is the worst movie of 2020?
On the lineup.
On strength.
On background.
The seeded contestants have quietly jumped ahead - Money Fans. One sentence on the poster is very catchy: "The four masters and apprentices from the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" reunited on the big screen after 30 years." That's awesome.
Looking further down... Sir saw the prelude to disaster.
The design seems to be mysterious.
The composition gives full play to the relationship between the characters - foreground and background, the two monkey kings take care of each other; Tang Monk's freestyle in the middle shot, Zhu Bajie singing loudly, Sha Seng's shouting... What is the hidden meaning?
Sorry, Sir, I really can't figure it out.
Of course, none of this matters.
"Money Fan" was released on July 26 with a box office of 230,000; four days later, it switched to video platforms in despair.
Xiti Douban rating is 2.8.
Shit, Sir thought.
But when Sir actually clicked on the movie... I have to say.
It shows grace and surprise.
The title of the movie is "money".
Hao Kunpeng (Liu Xiaolingtong) is a big money fan.
Spend your whole life buckling and searching, buying tomatoes with green onions, and going to the theater with fans.
Hobby, counting money + stock trading.
He really hit the mark.
The stock I bought 10 years ago suddenly soared, turning 20,000 into 20 million.
From then on, Lao Hao added another hobby: listening to the currency detector to count money.
The absurd story of a little person facing money falling from the sky is a classic comedy plot.
The settings are rigorous.
The characters are challenging and subversive.
At first glance it looks okay.
Looking again, it doesn't work anywhere.
First of all, the plot is brainless.
Frankly speaking, after 100 minutes, Sir still hasn't figured out what the movie is about.
What is the theme?
At first, Sir thought it was about desire.
Money eats people.
After getting rich, Old Hao seemed to be a changed person.
He lives in a mansion, wears a gold chain, and even pretends to be a "stock god" to teach people his experience on TV.
All kinds of monsters and monsters also followed suit.
An old friend who helped him tell fortunes ten years ago wanted to make a fortune from him; the TV director regarded him as a cash cow.
etc.
Sir, I almost forgot, Lao Hao still has three old friends.
Oh~ It should be about friendship.
A huge sum of money tests a lifelong friend.
Some people stared at his huge sum of money and became flatterers; some people despised his sudden wealth and turned against him.
This momentum seems to be digging into the darkness of human nature.
Bring the energy.
hold on.
Sir, I almost forgot, Lao Hao also has a daughter.
The line emphasized many times: This money is for my daughter. After Lao Hao got the money, he also called his daughter as soon as possible.
My daughter didn’t believe it the first time, but she said she was too busy the second time.
Sir, it’s confirmed – it’s about family love!
The family ties that have been alienated by materialistic desires in modern life cannot be repaired with money.
Advanced Advanced.
Stop stop stop.
Sir underestimated it in the end - the movie later extended to countless lofty themes like a matryoshka doll.
