《我和我的家乡》票房逆袭!笑抽了的“自助餐”,你最喜欢哪个故事?
As a follow-up of last National Day blockbuster My People, My Country, My People, My Homeland is produced with the same formula. The movie gathers seven directors to helm five stories under the same theme, and also joins hands of a lot of celebrities.
Anthology films are unique in the sense that you can be transported to many stories and characters in merely two hours, guided by actors that give you snapshot into an unknown world before visiting another. anthology /ænˈθɒlədʒi/:(不同作家作品的)选集
In My People, My Homeland, you will travel to five areas with quite different geographical characteristics.
北京好人
The first story is set in Beijing. Reprising Ge You as the good-hearted yet glib Beijing taxi driver from the story titled Hello, Beijing in last year's blockbuster My People, My Country, the tale finds Zhang Beijing, Ge's character, has a new problem. glib:油腔滑调的
Zhang's uncle from rural China works in Beijing as a delivery man. Struggling with the high medical fees to treat his thyroid tumor disease, the uncle comes to ask for help from Zhang. Reluctant to lend money, Zhang — who once planned to use the money to buy a new car — figures out a "scheme". He helps his uncle masquerade as Zhang in order to use Zhang's medical insurance.
As one of the best comedians in China, Ge has again provided a textbook performance for a comedy role.
天上掉下个UFO
Somewhat a salute to Ning Hao's Crazy Alien and his own Detective Chinatown franchise, Chen Sicheng's new directorial effort stars actor Huang Bo as a maverick inventor who is unintentionally pulled into a "myth" about an unidentified flying object.
maverick /ˈmævərɪk/:特立独行的人
“风驰电掣”的拖拉机
Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran's characters — two journalists who wear sunglasses and dust coats — are easily reminiscent of their detective duo roles in the Detective Chinatown series. reminiscent /ˌrɛmɪˈnɪsənt/:令人想起的;使回忆起(人或事)
It's an interesting story that could stir an in-depth thought about the so-called cultural tourism.
最后一课
The Last Class is a funny but also tear-jerking tale.
Starring actor Fan Wei as a veteran teacher who has stayed overseas for many years, the tale recounts his son's effort to bring back his partly-lost memory through helping him return to his first school — where he had worked for a decade — to teach the students again.
神笔马亮
The Magical Painter Ma Liang — starring comedians Shen Teng and Ma Li — again shows Mahua FunAge's ability to produce a popular comedy.
The story is about a painter who volunteers to fight poverty in a village. But the protagonist has to lie to his pregnant wife, as the woman wishes her husband to go to Russia for a higher education. Fearing to be blamed by his wife, Shen's character gathers a bunch of villagers to pretend to be Russian farmers to cheat his wife.
The story has a lot of funny moments, making audience easy to burst into laughter in the cinema.
回乡之路
以毛乌素沙漠的治沙故事为背景,一个返乡的网红直播主持与一个种植苹果的“大忽悠”在回乡之路中,从误解到谅解,引出一个感人的故事。
Set in northwestern China, Deng Chao and Yan Ni's The Way Back Hometown explores a more serious theme. An internet celebrity bumps into an apple seller who looks like a cheater on her way back home, but the plotline twists to unveil a heartwarming story, reminding of locals' effort to curb desertification in Maowusu Desert.
