China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 87 Where Are the Two Heroines?Why hasn't it appeared yet?

Such an opening not only shocked Wang Xiaoshuai, but also excited the media, film critics and audience.

Domestic media and film critics:

"He Fang's new movie has a big brain hole. In order to promote social progress in the future, single men and women will be forced to marry."

"The beginning of the movie is shocking. A woman beat a horse to death with a stick, but the horse may have been changed by her relatives. He Fang's new movie means that in the future, human beings may live like animals."

"It is said that the sixth-generation directors criticize every day, but whoever criticizes is more ruthless, but his methods are more sophisticated. He is teaching his predecessors that criticism also requires skills. There is no way out."

……

Foreign media and film critics:
"This is the most shocking opening of a film I have seen two days after the opening of the Cannes Film Festival. I don't know if there will be a better one in the future, but I think this opening is enough to win the award."

"This is a satisfying way to start, with ideas, criticism, future, and reality..."

"It's definitely an exciting start to a thrill, and I can't wait to watch it..."

……

As the story continues, Ma Wei, played by He Fang, enters the next room, where a group of staff members are registering, and they are asked to hand in their clothes and luggage, and then receive a set of standard uniforms issued by the hotel.

Ma Wei took off only a pair of underwear, and next to him was a row of men and women who had only their underwear removed.

Some Western media and film critics opened their eyes wide. This scene...how does it look like a concentration camp during World War II?

However, the Chinese media and viewers regarded this as a scene of entering a prison, very similar.

After Ma Wei received the supplies, he was assigned a room number, and a waitress led him to the room.

Going to the room is a standard single room. In addition to the daily hotel prices, there is a gun hanging on the hotel wall and anesthesia bullets on the table.

Ma Wei looked at the gun and bullets unexpectedly, when he saw the scene outside the window.

A group of people were dealing with the people lying on the ground, and the person in charge read there: "Hu Wei arrested two escapees, and added two days to the detention time, leaving a total of 62 days for the remaining time."

"Yang Song arrested a fugitive, and the detention time was added to one day, leaving a total of 21 days..."

Seeing this, Ma Wei quickly flipped through the manual, and at the end it said: Detainees can usually gain days by arresting single escapees in the wild to make up for the lack of 45 days...

Ma Wei immediately understood what this meant, and what this gun meant.

Just then there was a knock on the door.

Ma Wei turned his head and saw a group of people walked in.

The female manager of the hotel, played by Liu Yan, took the lead. She pulled up a chair and sat down on her own, and then looked at Ma Wei and pointed to the side of the bed, intending to let him sit down.

Ma Wei walked over and sat down.

"You know the rules. We don't have a prison here. Don't be afraid. You are still free. Of course, if you can get a match during this period, you will have a happy life in the future. Well, there are some situations we have to learn."

"Ma Wei, if you fail to match within the specified time, what animal would you choose? Of course, you don't have to be depressed about it, you can find a partner even if you turn into an animal. However, you have to think carefully, after all, animals only Can find the same kind of mate, for example, it is impossible for a chicken to become a mate with a horse. They can't live in a husband and wife life, and they don't understand the language." The female manager of the hotel asked.

When we got here, the audience suddenly burst into laughter. The plot was a bit humorous, but also a bit sad.

"I..." Ma Wei paused, but gritted his teeth and said, "I want to become a lobster."

"Why is it a lobster?" The hotel manager asked in surprise.

"Because lobsters can live for more than 100 years." Ma Wei said.

The hotel manager nodded, "But if you choose bastard, you can live for more than 1000 years."

"Haha..." The audience laughed again.

"No, the lobster is more noble. It has blue blood. How many species have blue blood? This is the aura of nobility."

The hotel manager nodded, "The nobleman is good, the nobleman is not restricted by forced matching."

When the audience heard this conversation, some laughed, while others shook their heads wryly.Because this is an obvious satire of the so-called aristocratic culture in the West, the bullshit privilege of being superior to others.

"Moreover, lobsters can maintain lifelong fertility." Ma Wei continued.

"Hmm, it seems that you value your fertility very much, so how do you solve it if you don't have a girlfriend?" asked the hotel manager.

"Haha..." The audience laughed again.

After thinking for a while, Ma Wei raised his left hand, "Rely on it."

"Pfft, haha..." The audience laughed even more happily.

In the movie, the hotel manager suppressed a smile and turned his head, looking at the recorder next to him, who nodded and took it down.

"Very well, we may restrict your left hand later, because it is not allowed to address sexual needs except for women in single hotels."

"...Huh?" Ma Wei was heartbroken.

"Okay, go on, is there any reason to choose lobster?" asked the hotel manager.

"I like the sea. I am good at swimming. I hope to swim freely in the sea." Ma Wei said with longing.

"Then you have to be careful of humans, we like to eat lobster very much."

"Uh...can you put me away?" Ma Wei asked.

"No, but as long as you swim fast enough after turning into a lobster, you should be able to escape the hunting of humans. Is there anything else to say?" the hotel manager asked.

Ma Wei shook his head.

"Very well, I must congratulate you. Many people's first choice is a dog. That's why there are single dogs all over the world. That's why they are endangered. Too many single dogs will be boring! Lobster is very good .”

In the movie, the words of the hotel manager's female manager caused the audience to scold... because there are many single dogs here.

"Okay, please stand up, and then we will make certain restrictions, and it will also make you feel the difficulty of being single, and let you understand that being in a couple is the best choice."

After the hotel manager finished speaking, Ma Wei stood up.

At this time, someone came to help Ma Wei fasten the iron belt, and then cuffed his left hand to the belt.

"You can't do this, isn't it that this is not a prison?" Ma Wei protested.

"Don't worry, if after our test, you can go without a hand for a week, then you will let go."

"Test? How to test?" Ma Wei asked.

(A detection method that cannot be written, it has performed an inhuman detection on He Fang!)

What's this?This is to torture a person physically and spiritually, this is to destroy a person spiritually, this is proper fascism...

People in the media and film critics wrote hard, feeling that the film was made really well, with all kinds of metaphors and irony, and it was played very cleverly.

With one hand locked, Ma Wei ate with one hand, brushed his teeth, washed his face, undressed and went to bed... This brought him great inconvenience.

Early the next morning, a loud bell rang from the speakers in the room, announcing that they could go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

The next step is to introduce the daily life of the hotel, have a group meal, and after the meal, there will be a group introduction and study class.

The course of introduction is that newcomers have to go on stage when they come, and introduce themselves, such as origin, background, age, height, hobbies, and even whether they are strong and durable.

In short, use the introduction to attract the opposite sex's interest in you as much as possible, just like the "If You Are the One" program.

In addition to personal introductions, there are also thought-reform programs, such as what harm does singleness bring to society, and what terrible consequences singleness will lead to life and life.

Then perform a section about how beautiful life will be when you have a significant other, and you will be accompanied and protected by your lover in times of danger.

Anyway, it is to promote being single, which is not good, that is not good, and to have a significant other.

The key is that these performances are dramatic, funny, exaggerated, and full of irony.

After that, there is a shooting training class. There are free activities in the afternoon. You can choose to swim, run, play ball, read books, etc. In the evening, there is a dance party, giving men and women a chance to dance and get to know each other.

This is the process of a day. Of course, during this period, Ma Wei met two "good friends", one is the lame Chu Ping, and the other is Chang Le, an ugly man with low self-esteem.

Chang Le is inferior and honest, and dare not contact women. He was also laughed at by Chu Ping, and the two finally fought because of it.

Chu Ping is enthusiastic and active, even sharp-tongued, and able to use means to achieve his goals.

In order to end being single, Chu Ping took a fancy to the girl with a nosebleed, and then he knocked himself into a nosebleed, deceiving the girl with a nosebleed that they were the same type, and finally matched with this girl successfully.

As the plot progressed, the audience saw more of what the movie wanted to express, that is, in this singles hotel, there is violence, discrimination, and abuse everywhere, and there is only one way to get rid of these, and that is to have a successful match. .

For example, there is an ominous woman. It is said that all the husbands who paired with her have died, and three of them have died, so they are called ominous women.

This woman begged Ma Wei to be paired with him successfully, she was willing to do anything for Ma Wei, and she also knew that Ma Wei had a dog, which was his brother, and she brought food for him.The reason why she did this was because her time was about to come, and if she didn't make a successful match, she would be turned into an animal.

But Ma Wei still refused, because he had no feelings for this woman, not because she was ominous.

When Ma Wei failed again and again in the process of catching single people in the wild, Ma Wei was forced to leave here only through matching, but he hesitated for a while.

As a result, the ominous woman who pursued him jumped off the building, but she didn't fall to her death.

At the scene of the woman jumping off the building, Ma Wei mustered up the courage to sit next to the most ruthless woman in the single hotel.

This woman is known to be ruthless and a master at catching singles in the wild.

The following plots gradually lost more comedy elements, but became more and more ruthless, and the audience at this time has also been brought in.

There is always a kind of dark twist in the scarlet picture, which makes the audience feel that this is a twisted and perverted world.

Because of marriage and love, people living in single hotels have been forced to reveal their true colors by life.

There is such a plot, a pair of very good girlfriends, they both agreed to become a pony together if they can't find the other half.

As a result, when the two of them were about to be turned into animals, one of the girlfriends announced at the last moment that she had found another partner and was brought over.

The other best friend was dumbfounded. It's like a pair of lovers who vowed to grow old together, but the man finds a rich woman...

That's the end, the key is that the man who was looking for a rich woman ran over and scolded the woman.

That's how this best friend came to criticize another.

'I can't stand the fact that your hair is prettier than mine. '

'I can't stand the eyes of the boys in school always falling on you. '

'I can't stand you always acting like you care about me, I don't need your love, I'm not your pet...'

Tsk, human nature is shown bloody step by step in this hotel.

The plot of the whole bachelor hotel seems to have reached a critical point, and everyone seems to need a breaking point.

The audience couldn't help but wonder, did the hero just give in like that?
Watching the desperate male protagonist marry the cruel woman, they live in a double room, but the cruel woman does not believe that Ma Wei really likes her.

If you don't really like her, she will never allow it.

So the woman killed Ma Wei's brother, the dog he kept with him all the time.

His older brother was turned into a dog because he was single, and he was a single dog who couldn't find a female dog.

Seeing his brother being killed, Ma Wei was terrified at first.

The audience also saw this bloody scene, and they were also angry. What did they do wrong?Why are they all turned into dogs and still not let go?
Ma Wei exploded, when the audience's emotions needed him to explode, and with the help of the hotel waiter, he turned the cruel girl into the most disgusting animal.

Perhaps the audience was attracted by the plot, so many people ignored the performances of the actors in the film.

Of course, some excellent film critics will not let it go. For example, some Western film critics wrote in their notes:

"Satirical humor, twisted colors, absurd plot, and slightly over-the-top dramatic performances, with no obvious sci-fi distractions...The first three 10 minutes of "Single Menagerie" are very good. It's a classic literary film."

"It's awesome, it's awesome, I didn't expect such a good movie to be made by us Chinese." In the middle of the theater, Wang Xueqi whispered to Qin Hao beside him.

"Yeah, the color, performance, metaphor, irony, blank space, and even the lines in the camera, the space of this hotel has definitely been transformed. Li Pingbin is indeed a master photographer..." Qin Hao has not finished speaking, Li Lingyu beside him interrupted.

"A typical dystopian and anti-system story, but it is impossible to violate the rules, because all this can't see our reality, but it seems to be alluded to again. This is the genius of the screenwriter."

"The key is that this movie is still very commercial, and ordinary audiences can watch it and laugh, and even understand it." Zhang Jiayi also said.

"Well, I'm afraid this movie is about to win an award. If this kind of movie doesn't give an award, then Cannes will be criticized."

……

Wang Xiaoshuai listened to the people in his crew praising "Single Zoo", he felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't help admiring, young people can write such excellent stories, what can they do?

"Hey, haven't you noticed that the two heroines Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing that have been publicized so far haven't appeared yet? What's going on? The movie is more than 30 minutes long."
