Wu Mengda’s career as Uncle De in the film has hit rock bottom
Movie Network News(Text/Li Jiakun) The upcoming nonsensical comedy film, which will be released nationwide, held its first media viewing event in Beijing on March 9. As Wu Mengda’s first starring film in more than 20 years of filmmaking, "Big Shot" has attracted media attention before it was released. In addition to Wu Mengda, the film also features Lin Zicong, Yang Lele, Du Haitao, Li Boqing, Liao Jian, Jinsha, Jijie and other stars. In addition to incorporating a series of Sichuan-style elements with unique Bashu characteristics such as Sichuan kimchi, fire dragon performance, and face-changing, the audience can also enjoy the scenery of Shunan Bamboo Sea, where water and sky are the same and light boats sing late. It is a Sichuan-style comedy film.
Wu Mengda took the lead for the first time, and because he was moved to accept the film, he confessed that "Uncle De" was Uncle Da
"Big Shot" is a small-to-medium-cost investment film. With Wu Mengda’s worth, it should be difficult to invite him as the lead actor of the film. However, Wu Mengda said in an interview with reporters at the previous press conference that he took the role without hesitation, just "out of emotion."
In the play, Wu Mengda’s De Shu has this sentence: "As soon as I debuted, I worked in Hong Kong TV station. I started as a general manager, and later I was fortunate enough to be a host. After 30 years, I retired to the mainland to develop. I thought I could find a second spring, but I didn’t expect to meet Waterloo. It stands to reason that at my age, I shouldn’t be defeated by life, but after I lost my sense of taste, I really felt that I couldn’t hold on. But you’re right, if you want to live, there is hope!" This sentence is actually a portrayal of Wu Mengda’s own life. The plot of "Big Shot" mainly tells the inspirational story of the famous talk show host De Shu (Wu Mengda) after his life fell to the bottom, he met a group of small people who pursued big ideas. From the stars holding the moon to no one cares, Wu Mengda also experienced the darkest period of his life. The film seems to tell Wu Mengda’s own story.
Zhou Xingchi’s new and old royal supporting actors play on the same stage, Hong Kong-style nonsense and spicy Bashu humor stew
Wu Mengda and Lin Zicong are both "golden partners" in Zhou Xingchi’s movies. This time, the two starred in "Big Shots", playing the roles of one good and one evil respectively. Their nonsensical performances in the film are perfect. There are also media reporters at the scene who said that after leaving the bottle of "golden oil" of Xingye, Wu Mengda and Lin Zicong want to become real "big shots" or lack some heat.
Wu Mengda is very hard to show the audience in Cantonese, Mandarin, Beijing and Sichuan dialects in this film. Although it is not "multi-lingual", it is not easy for an old Hong Kong actor like Wu Mengda. Wu Mengda also said in an interview that he had a lot of fun filming the play in Sichuan. And Lin Zicong plays a villain in this film, but this hypocritical evil faction looks a little cute. This evil faction with "skin peeling" has the mantra: "Be reasonable." It is reminiscent of the lines of Xingye movies.
Bashu comedian monk Li Boqing sees the problem through and joins forces with his apprentice to laugh
Li Boqing, once known as the "Top Ten Comedian in Bashu", also plays a role in the film. In the film, Li Boqing plays a monk in an ancient town, and his apprentice Liao Jian plays a young man who was raised by him and grew up eating a hundred families. As a Buddhist disciple who has officially become a monk in 2007, Li Boqing’s most spoken line in the film is "random fate". And when it comes to his return to the mountain this time, he will continue to make movies. Li Boqing once said before participating in the film that although he became a monk, as long as it is related to his disciples, "I would rather suffer a little loss and do it, and I will never refuse."
Du Haitao guest stars as "professional director" in the film
Mango Taiwan mobilized the happy family to support, and the ending song can be called the finishing touch of the "Divine Comedy"
As Wang Han’s daughter-in-law, Yang Lele, is the producer of a movie. Cameos and advertisements from various people in Mangotai are inevitable in the film. Yang Lele, Du Haitao, Jijie and Wang Han all have starring or cameo roles in the film. Among them, Du Haitao plays a professional director who is even more reminiscent of the outfit of Happy Family, which once made people think they were watching a special version of Happy Family.
It must be mentioned that, as the "wake-up" link at the end of the film, the ending song has always been the soft underbelly of domestic films. But this time, the ending song "Dang’er Dang" of "Big Shot" can be called the "Sichuan version of the Divine Comedy". It is a masterpiece in Sichuan flavor Mandarin with popular arrangement, and it will also be one of the driving forces for the audience to insist on seeing the end of the film.
