Today, people are increasingly at a loss for relationships.
Either "no marriage, no child, no peace".
Either alleviate the sense of insecurity in the denunciation of "scumbags" and "scumbags".
It seems that we can't understand or accept any of the unsatisfactory aspects of a relationship.
At such times, a sentence always pops up in Sir's mind:
No matter how you choose a marriage, it is wrong, and a long-term marriage is wrong.
Familiar?That's right, it comes from Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 2".
People are dying and their words are kind, this is the advice of an old cannon with terminal cancer to his friend in a wheelchair.
The screenwriter is Wang Shuo, which sounds like a heartfelt statement.
But with cunning ingenuity, it points out the only realistic solution:
Acknowledging mistakes, accepting mistakes, and dissolving mistakes.
The fault here is not moral right and wrong, but the confrontation between dreams and reality, the misalignment of desire and reason, and the final continuous balance requires a long period of consideration, wrapped in complex information, and subtle emotions.
However, this golden sentence that was born in 2010 still works today?
After all, this is an era when people are almost accustomed to "magic", and the scenes depicted in science fiction works are gradually concrete and clear: artificial intelligence AI, large models, ChatGPT are calling for wind and rain, and real human life is undergoing a re-brushing of the underlying logic.
Then, as the most important part of human emotion, the challenges of love and marriage are also at their peak.
The ending credits of "Do Not Disturb 2" seem to have been foreseen, and the subtitles read:
Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao will only officially get married in 2030, and there are many stories of mistakes in the middle.
So what exactly is the story?
On December 30, 2023, director Feng Xiaogang sent the third part to the table:
Do Not Disturb 3
The story setting is closely related to the previous work: Qin Fen is 70 years old, and Xiaoxiao has been away from his parents for 10 years.
How did Qin Fen live alone?
Xiaoxiao has been gone for so long, will he come back?
Sir also wants to figure it out.
As a result, after reading the story, I found that the third part had completed an unprecedentedly difficult task:
Let the IP of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" complete a decent closed loop, and the granularity under the comedy packaging is all the sighs of the creators and the audience after 15 years of life, and they are gathered together.
It is a look back, a tribute, a summary, and a new life.
is not only Qin Fen laughing at Mango Xiangshan in the play, but also about the creator's own life feelings outside the play.
If you don't look at it, it's really a pity that there are fewer pieces of the puzzle.
call back
When the trailer first came out, I honestly couldn't believe my eyes.
This style of painting is like "The Grand Budapest Hotel" or "Barbie", the saturated macarons are full of color palettes, which are completely different from the more realistic tones of the first two films, and it is a question whether the audience can get used to it
Looking at the setting again, I thought it was written by Feng Xiaogang himself in 1996, Cai Ming and Guo Da's Spring Festival Gala sketch "Robot Funny Words", is it really cold rice and fried now?
With doubts, I watched the movie in advance and found that this kind of misreading may be the usual "bad" of Feng Xiaogang's comedies, a bit like it, but it's not like this at all.
I have to say that the audience's curiosity and doubts at the first level will definitely be hooked, could it be that Feng's comedy stepped out of the comfort zone and stepped into the AI era in one step?
But the story still takes its time :
In 2031, 70-year-old Qin Fen (played by Ge You) keeps pace with the times and receives a gift from Lao Fan (played by Fan Wei), who runs a technology company, an artificial intelligence person (**) who imitates a smile from beginning to end, hoping to relieve the pain of ten years of lovesickness and reminisce about the long-lost happy married life.
This year, Qin Fen still lives in the second mountaintop bird's nest wooden house specially prepared for Xiaoxiao, without Xiaoxiao cooking, there is no fireworks, and now he feels even more lonely.
Meals all rely on a certain east drone to deliver takeaways, and Wang Baoqiang's voice of the intelligent housekeeper manages the temperature and humidity of the lighting tube and chats.
Qin Fen cultivated a new hobby, if he wanted to make a kite with a smile, no matter how far he farthered, the line had to be tightened, and Baoqiang was responsible for manually debugging the wind direction and wind power.
This old man's life is good, it is true to say that it is convenient and comfortable, but under the candy color, it still makes people feel bored, cold, and empty.
The fake "smile" came, Qin Fen was quite excited at first, after all, the other party was obedient, except for the lack of sleeping function, life was infinitely close to perfect ......
This opening is what Feng Xiaogang wants, and the distance between all the sci-fi settings and our current cognition is not far away.
For example, it is like Qin Fen's online marriage in the first part, recruiting old colleagues from the Urban Construction Bureau to build the country.
What did he say, you took a step or two before me.
Feng Xiaogang still wants to use the story of Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao to point to the present in the third part:
Can marriage (love) be replaced by high-tech products?
There are people, there are imperfections.
Is a machine that doesn't make mistakes the right choice?
Can it finally mend the regrets and pains of human beings in their relationships and reach perfection, and is such a perfection and a completely correct marriage really good?
Feng Xiaogang also understands that the friends who walk into the theater for the IP are really curious not about AI, but about our persistent and confused emotional life.
Penetrating the first layer of macaron sugar coating, we will soon be able to gradually get better, home is still a familiar home, family members take turns, change and unchanged make people have mixed feelings.
It can be said that the first big selling point of "Non 3" is the large-scale emotional call back that makes the audience enjoyable, and the ubiquitous kickbacks and tributes.
For example, all the classic video materials of the first two films were skillfully used and reused at the appropriate time, so that the audience would not be stuck in the color palette, unable to find the north, and unable to fall to the ground.
Everyone has their own famous scene about IP in their hearts.
Sir was impressed by three.
The first one, of course, is that Xiaoxiao and Qin Fen sit side by side in the opposite direction, Qin Fen faces the sea, and smiles and faces the audience: the later plot makes a joke, because it is Xiaoxiao who jumps off the cliff into the sea because of emotional injury.
But this sad picture became a large hanging painting at the head of the bed in Qin Fen's bedroom. Qin Fen is not taboo, he refused to smile and take the initiative to show mercy for one night, and in 2031, he will become a long-night lonely beauty for ten years.
Xiaoxiao, who is a Hainan Airlines hostess, is also carefully stored in the closet.
Director, the knife man is a bit ruthless!
The second is the "Four Sisters" izakaya in the first part.
In the third part, there is also one under the mountain, and it is the branch opened by these four sisters in Hainan.
The theme of this izakaya is closely aligned: the wrong is the wrong. There are so many taverns in the world, and you just walk into this one, and you know that if you are wrong, you will be wrong, and you will not stop drinking.
The third is "The Last Emperor", Qin Fen picked up his strength and called what he thought was a "fake smile" to kill his horse and chicken, and asked Baoqiang to order the film BGM.
Isn't this the scene of laughter and ridicule in the second trial marriage stage?"Do you really think of yourself as the last emperor?”
Man!In addition to the plot, this time the characters from the first two parts are all there, and even the narrator Zhang Hanyu has been retained.
Every "insincere" character actually represents a real emotion.
Jianguo (played by Chang Yuan) came, he bought an artificial intelligence person who imitated Qin Fen's appearance when he was young, and he was still greedy and obsessed with his heart;
Mango (played by Yao Chen) came with the grown up Chuan Chuan (Guan Xiaotong who grew into a small flower), she has been divorced seven or eight times, afraid of marriage;
Wu Sang came, it was he who dragged Qin Fen to the "Four Sisters" izakaya at the bottom of the mountain to make a joke, he represented the intention of "old friends don't often meet but always care".
The most embarrassing thing and even a little tearful is that Li Xiangshan, who held a farewell party in life, appeared in the form of a plant.
As the character wished, he really became a tall and crazy pothos that grew on the balcony of Qin Fen's wooden house.
He died a few times, and as soon as he was watered, he was alive.
People are like plants and trees, see you in reincarnation.
All in all, the audience must not worry about being affected by the main plot "My wife is a robot?"."Shake the fan, is this still the most humane "insincerity"?
While being amused by the joke of friction between people and intelligent people, director Feng Xiaogang still retains the strength to watch the house:
Make you laugh and cry.
Dumplings with snacks
I saw someone say that life is a tragedy up close, and a comedy from a distance.
Good comedy tastes like this.
I laughed when I wanted to, and my eyes were wet.
So think about it, what kind of "character" is "Non 3" in the entire trilogy?What is its relationship with the first two parts?
In Sir's view, it is like the last link of a reincarnation, buttoning the IP into a circle, so that the fate of the characters can be stretched.
The three "insincere" departments performed their own duties and ran a relay race.
The first part is aboutBelieve in fate, don't disturb if you are not sincere
The old bachelor Qin Fen returned to China and asked for marriage online, and the beauties with different motives took turns to go on blind dates, and in the process, the audience also saw the picture of the hearts of people who were impacted by desire at that time.
His encounters, encounters, and interactions with Xiaoxiao can be said to be "accidental" at almost every step.
If Qin Fen is not so "lustful", he has to find Xi Shi, who is even recognized as a bad guy, and he doesn't have to go around so much;
If Xiaoxiao is not so "dead", and if you love someone, you can even give up your life, and you will not have a fatal attraction to Qin Fen.
At the end of the first part, Xiaoxiao, who was fished out of the sea by Qin Fen, was alive, and the two of them took the first step.
But the question is: with a friend of life and death, I feel that the other party is a good person, is this love?
The second part is aboutBelieve in love, don't disturb if you are not sincere
Li Xiangshan and Mango held a divorce ceremony, smiling and sad in their eyes, just out of the emotional wound and afraid of falling into an embarrassing marriage, so they proposed a trial marriage.
And directly crossed the honeymoon period of holding each other, and tried the middle-aged and elderly couples who were not passionate if they wanted to try, so the two of them acted like children.
The male actor is paralyzed, it depends on whether the woman can even wash her pants;The woman plays the yellow-faced woman, it depends on whether she can hold it up and refuses to make any noise.
The result can be imagined, divided.
At the end, Li Xiangshan said the trick of "making mistakes will be wrong", and the death of an old friend made the two ordinary people afraid and decided to get back together.
But another suspense remains: can they really live together?
An old fox who takes it as pleasure to tell nonsense;A flounder, with a big temper, turns his face when he turns his face.
This doesn't lead to "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3".
The theme of this part is a summary and sublimation of the previous two:
Believe in marriage, don't disturb if you are sincere.
At the beginning of the movie, he smiled and said that he wanted to be an environmental protection guard and pick up garbage all over the world.
Sir feels that Xiaoxiao is not so much driven by idealism as it is to find the answer to the doubts that have always been in his heart:
As time goes by, will I still love Qin Fen?
And the same test is also on Qin Fen, after ten years without a smile, entering the ancient rarity, what he hopes for most is an old wife who cares for and takes care of himself, or the smile that keeps himself?
In the movie, Qin Fen has experienced several ideological changes.
At first, he felt that marriage was companionship, and it was good to be comfortable;
Then he craves emotional interaction, more precisely, a personal, genuine smile in front of him, even if it is annoying, so that he feels alive and close to a youthful state.
In the end, he is faced with two choices with a smile, one must be true and one is false.
But it's true or fake.
Who is what he really wants?
But looking at Qin Fen's choice, whether he wants to be comfortable or sincere;To be perfect or true;Whether you want to speak or interact and so on, ......
On the surface, it's a romantic comedy.
In fact, through the concept setting, it points directly to the heart of you and me at the moment:
What are you looking forward to about marriage, about love?
Or are you ready?
In the movie, how does Qin Fen choose, what is the truth, sir doesn't spoil, go and see it yourself.
But Feng Xiaogang still gave him the "gold standard" he believed in, and it was also the "golden sentence" of the headquarters & local love words:
I miss the temple on the high mountain and it's too low, and I still miss you when I sit face to face.
Some people may be curious, Qin Fen is really alone in the past ten years?Xiaoxiao hasn't met anyone else in the past ten years?
In the movie, a metaphor of "eating dumplings" is used to cleverly throw the question to the audience:
Take out the meat from the refrigerator, chop the filling, pour flour, knead the dough, wake the dough, roll it into a skin, and put it in the pot ......
If you eat a snack during the whole process, you won't be hungry when the dumplings you want to eat are served, and you won't be able to live up to the previous busyness.
Snacks are craving but tasteful, dumplings are slow but can be very satisfying, how do you choose?
The two people in the movie are chosen.
out of time
2008, 2010, 2023.
Qin Fenhe smiled at the love of men and women, why could they watch it three times, and it lasted for 15 years.
In the final analysis, it is because Feng Xiaogang's comedy does not completely focus on eating men and women. There is always a small door behind the funny and lively scenes, and some viewers who want to "talk about life" can walk in.
In the first part, during the journey to Hokkaido, Qin Fen walked into the chapel to confess the sins of his life, and told the priest from morning to night that he was afraid and wanted to expel the guests.
If you listen carefully, you will find that what Qin Fen said is the "years of burning passion", the story of when the educated youth went to the mountains and went to the countryside;
Wu Sang said goodbye to Qin Fen and smiled, drove alone and parked on the lonely highway, lying on the steering wheel and crying bitterly, crying about things and people, and meeting again for what year and month.
But what the director wanted to say himself, in fact, Qin Fen had already said it in the car:
Money doesn't matter to me, it's just a lack of friends.
In the second part, at Li Xiangshan's farewell party, the background painting emphasized that he was a Beijinger, and Xiangshan is also a famous mountain in Beijing.
Friends endured their grief and counted Li's unreliability, but they all admitted that he was the soup of life: he couldn't forget it, because he was righteous and emotional.
This is the spirit that old-fashioned people value the most, and it is the decency and dignity that they understand.
In the third part, Qin Fen got together with Mango and Chuanchuan, and mentioned Li Xiangshan emotionally, saying that he regretted promising his friend to "die with dignity", "I always felt that he died in his own hands".
Over the years, I no longer dare to swim in the water, and I can't hear the sound of water in the pool.
Memory is the content and definition of a person.
Li Xiangshan died, but he lived in the hearts of his friends with photosynthesis.
This kind of memory is left in the hearts of friends.
It's Feng Xiaogang, or what he thinks their generation is determined, believed, and pursued in their hearts.
Whether it is Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang outside the play, or Qin Fen, Li Xiangshan, Xiaoxiao, Mango, and Wu Sang in the play, they all have a creed:
A decent and dignified person must stick to his original intention, rather be a real villain than a hypocrite, and not take perfection as the ultimate goal of life.
It is mentioned in the second part: Cangsun is infinitely good, but unfortunately it is almost dusk.
The third part directly outlines the twilight of life that has been polished by the light of science fiction.
The director believes that more than half of life, the elderly and children are actually the same kind of people, echoing each other at the beginning and end of life.
Qin Fen's home is full of fairy tales, echoing Cangsun's truly naïve obsession, and adult desires become shriveled and boring once they are programmed.
There is only one thing that can truly transcend time and keep human beings alive outside of time, and it is worth pursuing from generation to generation:
Love and hope.
There is an easter egg at the end of "Non 3", actors Ge You and ** walked out of the role, this time they also sat side by side, all facing the audience.
They announced that this part was the finale.
The story of Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao came to an end, they didn't act, and there was no news of this pair of happy enemies in the world.
But Sir didn't feel particularly sad, because the two actors mentioned:
The audience who watched the first part back then may still be in college, holding hands and walking into the theater;
Fifteen years have passed, and some of them have entered marriage, have children, and can still hold hands and watch the third part today;
Some people walk and walk away, maybe a person walks into the theater and reminisces about the past, all without words.
But no matter how you choose, the fate of all people in "Insincerity" is so common in the real world, and the trajectory of fate is the same in the final analysis.
If we still believe in fate and love, we also choose to believe in marriage.
Then the story of "Do Not Disturb" will continue to be written in a parallel real world.
The background can always be changed, Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao can always quarrel, get angry and hug each other.
Despite all this beauty, everything persists. Like a dream. But it's good that this dream can be done all the time.
