This film review called "Do you understand this movie?" was published on 'Whispers' and 'Petals' by the well-known Chinese film critic "An Actor's Self-cultivation". The film review provides an in-depth analysis of "My Sassy Girl"

"In this movie, Cheng Xiaoyu may not be able to explain many small details clearly. He just copied the scenes of the original film, and these were pointed out by "an actor's self-cultivation".

"I walked into the cinema the next day. Actually, I didn't have much expectations for the movie, and I didn't plan to walk into the cinema so early to watch it. It was just the praise from the media and the collective one-star reception from the public that made me excited.

Out of curiosity, I want to know whether this movie is too highbrow for the general public to accept, or whether this movie just hit the G\/spot of the media and film critics and made them collectively excited.

In fact, I was skeptical before I walked into the cinema. At first I thought this was the media continuing to create myths and being seen through by the rational public. But after watching this movie, I felt that I also took it for granted. This movie

Awesome beyond my expectation.

As a new director, Cheng Xiaoyu has indeed achieved perfection and is impeccable. It is more than three stars better than the various abortions, misunderstandings, and all kinds of bloody youth dramas represented by "Graduation Year" in the same period.

, and is at least one and a half stars better than the recent star-studded "Legend of Shushan".

It’s not an exaggeration to give “My Sassy Girl” four stars to me. It’s just shy of five stars. One star is deducted not because I don’t have a girlfriend like Song Mingxi. It’s because this movie lacks a little bit of something to make people feel.

The core of deep thought, forgive me for being picky and looking for depth in a youth love movie, but I am such a person who loves to find faults in eggs.

But after thinking about it today, I felt that this movie was not that simple. There were a few flashing scenes that had profound meanings, but I didn't understand them. So I went to the cinema to watch it again when I had nothing to do.

After that, I couldn't help but watch it again. I thought for a moment in the cinema and felt that four stars was a bit low, so I decided to give this movie five stars.

Because I found that it wasn’t that the movie wasn’t profound, but that I didn’t understand it at all. (There are a lot of spoilers below, so please read with caution)

In fact, there are a lot of interesting plots hidden in this movie, which require the viewer to dig deeply to discover.

The first and most obvious hidden plot is the mystery of the quintuplets.

When Qian Niu and Song Mingxi checked into a room for the first time, did you notice the news and photos about the quintuplets on the wall after entering the room?

That's the director's tip.

The quintuplets actually appear five times in the movie! If you are interested, you can look for them carefully.

The second is the mystery of the flying saucer.

At the end of the film, after Song Mingxi finished chatting with the old man, he reopened the time egg and read the letter. When he was reading the letter, he noticed that there was a UFO (a time machine to be precise) that slowly flew from the lower right corner to the upper left corner and then disappeared. I made a record of it.

(The time is approximately 115-116).

In addition, the play hints at time machines, the present and the future, meeting people in the future, etc. through lines more than once.

So if you think this is a youth romantic comedy, you are wrong. It is also a deeply hidden science fiction film. It’s just that Director Cheng has such a clear mind that others would love to have a few more genres in their heads.

But he hides these secrets deep in the film.

If you don't look carefully, he won't say anything. From this, you can find that Director Cheng is really an extremely literary and boring person.

Haha, it seems a bit similar to me.

The third one is the riddle of the frog

Two years later, Qianniu opened the time egg that two people had buried two years ago. But a frog actually appeared inside. Why was there a frog inside? I haven't figured this out yet. Maybe it was because I came here in advance.

Song Mingxi played a joke on the morning glory, maybe it was a joke played by the old morning glory who came back from building a time machine to the young morning glory.

Of course, it could also be a joke made by director Cheng Xiaoyu.

The fourth point is the most beautiful hidden point, it is really breathtaking! This is the mystery of the strange old man.

Three years later, Song Mingxi, who came from the UK, came to the agreed tree and met a strange old man. Everyone, please pay attention. This strange old man is actually the morning glory that returned to the past on a UFO-like object, which is also the morning glory of the future. Here is

What is hinted is that in another time and space, Qian Niu did not wait for Song Mingxi, which means that the next development is a story of parallel time and space.

Regarding the reason why there are UFOs, the film does not explain this clearly, because if it really had to explain it clearly, the film would be missing two points.

Let's go back to the time when the male and female protagonists met for the first time. On the subway, shortly after the heroine asked the gangster to give up her seat, there was a cut in the camera (the time is 00:06), and then there was the scene where the heroine vomited. The scene captured in that scene

There are several people sitting next to where the actor is standing. An old man in the middle is looking up at the actor.

Note that the passengers in the cabin are completely different before and after switching, which may also indicate the overlap of two different spaces.

(This is another scene carefully arranged by the director! It is so amazing that I watched it for the fourth time alone in the cinema. My scalp went numb after watching it!)

As for how to tell that this old man is Lao Petunia?

The old man said that this tree had a secret. The old man said that he had read the letters between the two of them. If it were interpreted as a passer-by digging it up and reading it, it would not be in line with Director Cheng's urine.

The old man talked about the tree being struck by lightning, and the cow replanted the tree and asked the old man if it was the same as before. The old man also said that if he didn't tell no one, no one would know the secret.

There are various signs that the old man is the male protagonist of the future. He comes to modern times in a time machine and plays the role of promoter of his love. One of the great things about this film is that you didn’t know that there is this science fiction plot, and also

Can see very smoothly.

In addition, Qian Niu said at the end of the story, "Destiny is to hold a bridge between you and the one you love."

The old man said the same thing.

Seeing this, I trembled all over and just wanted to hand over my knees. The 20-year-old director Cheng Xiaoyu is so awesome. At this time, he has already surpassed most directors.

But it didn't stop there, I also discovered the mystery of the gun, the mystery of Song Mingxi's boyfriend, the mystery of the roommate, and other amazing details.

In fact, this movie is not a movie that makes people laugh once and end with a feeling of emotion. It is a movie worth watching over and over again to find fun in it.

So far, I have only found these interesting places. I hope that all movie fans will work together to discover all of Director Cheng's "little tricks".

This movie is not only highly recommended for everyone to watch in theaters, but also recommended for everyone to buy the DVD and collect it. Of course, Director Cheng has always been unscrupulous in making money. I don't know if he will release a 328 yuan collector's edition. Anyway, I am doing it.

Be prepared to bleed heavily.

In addition, I am very curious about how many awards "My Sassy Girl" can win this year. If Cheng Xiaoyu wins the best director, there is no doubt that he will become the youngest best director in the history of Chinese film.

let us wait and see."

"An Actor's Self-cultivation" has always been known as a sharp-tongued person in the film critic circle. His real identity is a young professor at Nortel. He is not only well-known in "Whisper" and "Petals", but also in the circle.

He is very prestigious. He is only thirty years old, but he is one of the judges of the "Huabiao Award".

When his film review was published, it immediately caused a stir among ordinary movie fans rather than "Idol Project" fans. Because "Petals" was inconsistent with the evaluations of the media and film critics, many people were skeptical about this film and did not believe it.

Create a desire to go see it specifically.

But now this kind of controversy has triggered a huge topic. Countless people who have watched the movie have become liars and volunteer promoters of "My Sassy Girl", resulting in an explosive increase in the number of moviegoers.

growth of.

After all, there have always been relatively few comedy-romance movies in China, and this movie with so many laughs and suitable for all ages will easily gain everyone's liking.

A week later, fans who watched the movie clearly thought that "this is a movie worth watching" camp, and at this time, the rating of "My Sassy Girl" on the "Petals" website has been brushed back.

It scored 8 points and four stars, and it is still rising slowly. As for "Petals", at the end of the schedule, most of the films that finally got 8 points or more were award-winning films.

As for "Graduation Year" at this time, because it deliberately gave "My Sassy Girl" one star, it was turned back by angry netizens, and it tragically dropped to two stars.

After the first week, "My Sassy Girl" almost miraculously achieved a box office of 240 million in the eyes of the industry. Although it was not enough to earn the box office of "Legend of Shushan" on Valentine's Day, comparing the two sides, others invested heavily in big productions.

, the return rate is not necessarily higher than "My Sassy Girl", and as a new director, this kind of performance is enough to be called a miracle.

However, what is surprising is that this is not the most glorious moment, and even greater miracles are yet to come.

"My Sassy Girl" exploded in "word-of-mouth effect" in its second week. After the end of the second week and at the end of the prime time period, "Legend of Shushan" was defeated and topped the weekly box office rankings.

In 4,576 theaters in China, it received a box office of 760 million, completing a counterattack.

This has made the Chinese film industry, which has been pursuing Hollywood-style large-scale productions, collectively speechless. A film with an investment of less than one-twentieth of "Legend of Shushan" crushed all large-scale productions and became another "Legend of Shushan".

"Diary of a Broken Love".

But the madness is not over yet. In the third week, "My Sassy Girl" has a box office of 850 million, still firmly in the first place. This week's new Hollywood blockbuster "Future Cop 2" only has 200 million.

Ten million became the stepping stone for "My Sassy Girl".

Even the state-run media China Times published an article praising Cheng Xiaoyu as the pride of Chinese filmmakers, implicitly criticizing the weird behavior of the Chinese film industry that only invites stars and makes big productions without pursuing the polishing of the plot or the acting skills of the actors.

Phenomenon.

The semi-monthly professional film magazine "Movie World" also published an article saying: "If the loss of "Legend of Shushan" is surprising, then "Future Cop 2" with a cost of 120 million US dollars has become the latest victim. It is really surprising.

People were stunned and couldn’t believe it.”

You must know that the production cost of this movie is only 27 million. Excluding the shooting cost of 18 million, the publicity cost is only less than 9 million. In addition to other expenses such as copying and transportation, the total cost is exactly 30 million.

If you don’t take into account DVD and other peripheral income, and only count theater screenings, it will have to receive at least twice the box office, which is 60 million to recover the cost. Regarding this, Director Cheng may have already drank it at home on Valentine’s Day

Celebrating the victory,

At the end of the third week, the total box office of "My Sassy Girl" has reached 1.85 billion, surpassing last year's box office miracle "Diary of a Lost Love" and this year's big-cast "Legend of Shushan".

It has become the box office champion during the February prime time period and the biggest dark horse in Chinese film history. It only needs 1.5 billion this week to enter the 2 billion club.

So far, there are only four movies in the whole of China in the 2 billion club, and all four are Hollywood blockbusters. The first one is "Armageddon" with 2.7 billion, and the second one is "Rush 6" with 24

100 million, the third is "Extinction 4" 2.2 billion, and the fourth is "Avengers 1" 2.1 billion.

But this week, the light of "My Sassy Girl" has overshadowed the entire film industry. Not only is "My Sassy Girl" a hit at the box office, Cheng Xiaoyu's popularity has soared, and the popularity of the two leading actors, especially Xu Qinning, has also skyrocketed.

Kuangbiao, "Whispering" has already surpassed the popular king Su Yuxi in terms of attention.

And it started a trend of "sassy girlfriends" throughout China. You can even see scenes of girlfriends asking their boyfriends to wear high heels on the streets.

As for "Graduation Year", in the second week, the film schedule of China Film Monk, Hailian and theaters was reduced to only a few shows a day, and all of them were in the morning. It is natural to imagine whether the box office will be as good as "My Savage"

The fraction of "Girlfriend" is still unknown.

Cheng Xiaoyu is not proud of his brilliant achievements. He understands that he has just stepped on the shoulders of giants. At this moment, he has devoted himself fully to the production of cartoons.

In addition, good news also came from the United States in February. Xia Shamo received the Grammy Award for "Best Song of the Year" ("Listen"), "Best Pop Album" and "Best Duo or Performance" on behalf of "Guilty Crown".

Although it missed the most important "Best Record of the Year" and "Best Album of the Year" awards, it still won three important awards.

Xia Shamo also went on stage to sing "Listen". Dressed in a gold silk evening dress, Xia Shamo shocked everyone with her unparalleled singing skills that night. Unfortunately, the "Grammy" was never broadcast on domestic TV stations and could only be watched online.

, but this year’s Grammy, because of Xia Shamo, the online ratings were extremely high.

In particular, the clip of Xia Shamo singing "Listen" topped the weekly clicks list on major music websites.

However, the domestic media are still complaining about "Guilty Crown" and feel that if "Guilty Crown" were an American band, they should at least win one of the awards of "Record of the Year" or "Album of the Year".

Cheng Xiaoyu did not accompany Xia Shamo to award the award. Originally, Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to accompany Xia Shamo, but Ms. Xia Lan felt that Xia Shamo had never been abroad, especially to a place as far away as the United States, and she was quite uneasy. She must

Accompanying him, Cheng Xiaoyu gave up and went to the Staples Center in Los Angeles with Xia Shamo.
