Chapter 37 "The Stone"

In the past decade, the so-called excellent comedy movies in China have either been a collection of Feng Xiaogang-style jokes or a small market with humorous language and a theme, but the narrative technique is only one word, flat.

"Crazy Stone" is the advanced one here!

He is the first domestic comedy film to adopt multi-line narrative.

We know that movie narratives focus on editing, that is, montage!

The montage technique of "Crazy Stone" is very interesting.

The whole is a cross montage to tell the story. The three clues are sometimes connected and sometimes disconnected, and they divide a period of time and space into three angles to view, greatly increasing the capacity of the film and making the details richer. Especially in the second half of the film, the three clues constantly collided, and the shots quickly cut between three perspectives, making people afraid to miss any detail. This sense of tension cannot be achieved by continuous montage.

The so-called continuous montage means straight cut…

Not only that, the script itself is very interesting:

The story has three groups of characters, the international thief hired by real estate developer Xu Zheng from Xiangjiang, led by Dao Ge, Hei Pi, Xiao Jun as the auxiliary as the thief, and Bao Shihong as the leader of the security department.

The three groups formed a clever triangle. The three of them interacted with each other, fighting wits and courage. The slightly absurd stories became linked together, with ups and downs. Many plots were amazing after watching the audience.

And the core of this story is very clear, it is that piece of jade!

This also ensures that comedy will not become a farce...

...

At the beginning of the movie, the first thing that caught your eye was the close-up of Bao Shihong's tangled face and the calm voice of the doctor. Switch to the close-up of the faucet, ticking, ticking...

As the doctor turned off the faucet, the close-up Bao Shihong's face also changed, and his gripping eyebrows loosened and turned into a serious face.

Then, he was "**"...

Accompanied by a scream, it turned to looking down at the camera, taking aerial photography of Chongqing, Xie Xiaomeng's voice appeared, and another close-up, Lu Xiaoran's face...

The close-up of Ning Hao is unique and usually takes pictures of his face!

He didn't, first, he opened the lower half of Lu Xiaoran's face, then a close-up of his full face, switched to the upper half of his close-up Jingjing's face, and then Jingjing rolled his eyes to Lu Xiaoran...

"When I was thinking about this question just now, I saw you as soon as I looked up. There was something in you that deeply touched me! Do you know what this is? Motherhood, the great maternal breath!"

Jingjing, who looked unhappy, turned her head and smiled slightly at Lu Xiaoran, raised her feet without any warning and stepped on Lu Xiaoran's instep.

Accompanied by Xie Xiaomeng's scream, Coke fell off the cable car...

The camera switched again, and the white-collar four-eyed person appeared.

The first scene, looking down at the car door, close-up white leather shoes, close-up door closing, looking up at the mirror with four eyes, opening the panoramic view, the audience saw his suit and tie, all of which were in a strong contrast with the characters who appeared before, and their identity was unique.

He is not a member of the Dangsi tribe.

All the shots about the Four Eyes are angles of elevation, which depict the person's personality, arrogance, pride, and arrogant. When it comes to Director Xie, it is no longer an angle of elevation, but a flat angle shot...

Then, Brother Dao, Hei Pi and Xiaojun appeared;

All the characters appeared in the six minutes of the opening, but what are they talking about?

A little bit of no end...

Don't know what to express...

In the audience, some viewers whispered: "What are you doing when you are posing on a horse?"

“…I don’t understand very much.”

"Who is the protagonist?"

“…How could I know?”

"Forget it, let's look down and be the boss of support!"

This boss is Liu Dehua...

OK, the story has officially begun!

Xie Xiaomeng, played by Lu Xiaoran, fell from the sky and smashed Bao Shihong's van.

Just when Bao Shihong got out of the car and cursed, the car was in a downhill state and automatically slipped, hitting the four-eyed BMW that came to collect debts. The accident caused the police to accidentally let Brother Dao run away, and the whole story quickly got on track...

"Oh, doggy, it's still high-tech! Unmanned driving, I didn't see it! bmw! Don't touch me! Don't be beaten by me!"

Finally, the audience burst into laughter!

Four words popped up in my mind: So that's it!

The seemingly scattered scenes just now have clearly understood the main characters and causal relationships in the film...

Ning Hao also worked hard to learn from Guy Ritchie. In just a few minutes, he actually used two flashbacks...

As the plot develops, the main line of the story gradually becomes clear. The factory manager dug up a priceless jade and wanted to revive the factory, but it caused all parties to be moved.

In addition to the two forces of Dao Ge and Feng Dong, there are also branches of Sanbao, branches of Xie Xiaomeng, hidden diseases of Bao Shihong, etc.

Faced with such rich clues, the audience quickly learned the correct way to watch the movie, and no longer had the ambush set up for Ning Hao, the audience's ability to accept is very strong!

"I'll take your lungs!"

"I'm a brand, Benny Road!"

"Nike? Is there a camera?"

"You women just don't understand that this stage is the rising period of my career. How can I go ahead?"

"My wife was sleeping with someone else, no one cares about it... We are not married, but we have real feelings... what? No one cares about it after marriage, is there any other way?!... What lawyer are you a tram!"

"Call, come and call your daddy."

"You insulted my personality first, and now you are insulting my IQ!"

The funny lines came one after another, causing laughter from the entire cinema to spread one after another, with almost no stop.

In a word: the rhythm is compact, the burden is full, and there is no urine point throughout the whole process.

The ending of the story is like most domestic movies. Good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded. The kind Bao Shihong won the last laugh.

When he was with his lover on the dock, he had a bright smile. The lover who had been by his side and the kindness in his heart were truly priceless treasures, and no matter how expensive jade it was, it could not be exchanged for!

At the end of the film, Huang Bo was chased by the shop owner on a motorcycle while biting the bread. Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" sounded and the film ended...

...

"Wow!"

The audience spontaneously slapped the face, paid tribute to the film, to all the creators, and to the sincerity and enthusiasm inside.

There is a saying that: The comedy that the audience likes is not the kind of movie that yells hard at the audience, "Laugh! You laugh, I'm eating shit, why don't you laugh?" The audience wants real funny!

"Crazy Stone" obviously satisfies this!

Before "Stone", most comedy forms were presented by means of ugly and derogatory techniques.

What about "Stone"? Use the most down-to-earth misunderstandings caused by the environment at that time to amuse the audience without any intention or any pretentiousness...

But it just makes people laugh and watch the complete movie!

This is a skill!

Anyway, it is a very crazy and interesting movie with clever stories, wonderful soundtracks, good editing, and wonderful performances of the actors!

...

The movie screening ended, and the audience and reporters went out to solve their personal problems and felt like they were holding their urine!
Chapter completed!
