In the hustle and bustle of the world of cinema, a remarkable phenomenon is beginning to emerge – comedians are undergoing a metamorphosis. Dapeng, who used to be only good at gags and visiting bathing centers, has successfully transformed into a highly acclaimed director, proving his strength again and again with his works. At the same time, comedians have also chased their dreams, created popular works such as "Rise to Fame", and successfully transformed. However, in the midst of this cheer, a "former old employee" Yi Xiaoxing's new directorial work "Unfamiliar with Life" has caused great controversy.
Body:
The release of "Unfamiliar with Life" was once a success at the box office and word of mouth. However, a careful look at the comment section revealed some strange phenomena. Although the film received a whopping 7 points, the top reviews were almost all negative reviews of one or two stars, which caused people to wonder. Some commentators have even described the phenomenon as a "polarizing" textbook-level performance. So, how did this movie win the hearts of the audience, and why did it show such a contrast in the comments?
The film is based on a simple plot and follows a series of hilarious events that take place while the game engineer "Wan Yifan" is getting along with his father-in-law. Although the plot is bland, Yi Xiaoxing's clever use of visual baggage and Internet memes makes the film attract young audiences, and laughter comes and goes. However, the problem is that Yi Xiaoxing seems a little lazy in the plot arrangement, which makes the whole story more like a "big short **" and lacks attention to the basic plot. The actor behaves too silly in a series of funny events, which makes people lose their expectations and empathy for him early.
This approach to filmmaking is a bit of a lag compared to other comedians who have successfully transformed. Compared with Dapeng's deep cultivation of humanistic and social themes, or Wanhe Tianyi's excellent creation, "Unfamiliar with Life" is too simple in terms of script design and character character. Director Yi Xiaoxing is too addicted to joke services, which makes the depth and connotation of the whole movie not enough to support a qualified theatrical movie.
Looking back on Yi Xiaoxing's professional experience, he was one of the founders of Wanhe Tianyi, and jointly created a comedy myth that belongs to the Internet era. However, with the rapid development of the Internet, the glory of Wanhetianyi has gradually been eliminated by the changes of the times. Yi Xiaoxing tried to change the direction of the company with theatrical films, but lost many supporters in the failure of "Never Expected". Although he made progress in his next work "The King of Bath", at the same time, Wanhe Tianyi's "Rise to Fame" was a huge success, making Yi Xiaoxing's situation seem awkward.
Ending:
Faced with the dilemma of reality, Yi Xiaoxing's transformation road has become more and more difficult. In the film industry, he needs to re-examine his positioning and creative concept, let go of his dependence on online jokes, and pay more attention to the quality and depth of films. Perhaps, he needs to rediscover his original intention when he founded Wanhe Tianyi and pursue a higher creative realm. It also makes us wonder if a successful comedian can break out of the framework of comedy and challenge a wider creative field. In the future, Yi Xiaoxing's journey is destined to be full of twists and turns, but perhaps it is these challenges that can forge a more mature director.
