CATDOLL: A fan director pays tribute to the classics with a music video and counts the celebrities in "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes"

In 2012, the Earth was facing the tragedy of extinction. The useless heroes gathered together to fight against the foreign enemies and finally won the victory. A traditional story of a hero saving the people was turned into a nonsensical comedy by two funny directors, Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie. When Li Jing and Pinocchio became brothers, and when Snow White and Nezha played Monopoly, you will find that nothing is impossible in this imaginative animated film. Perhaps as the director told us at the end: Heroic movies don't have to be grand. In addition to the prince, the person riding the white horse could also be Tang Monk.

When the audience walks into the theater to watch this atypical comedy movie, you will find that there are too many dialogue scenes in the film that make you feel familiar. Only then will you understand that many of the laughs in "Shi Leng" are not only based on the character settings or dialogues, but also based on the huge amount of film watching by each audience. "Pacific Rim", "EVA", "Iron Man"... Too many clips make people feel that this is clearly a hodgepodge of classic scenes from many blockbusters. Not only that, the film company recently released the ending song MV "Come on, Sweet Tucao" to pay tribute to the animation masterpiece "EVA". In it, we also see the two directors' enthusiasm for animation and movies, as well as their deep respect for classics.

The Marvel-style opening is so addictive that the audience can't watch it straight

At the beginning of the movie, I believe that many viewers have discovered the full "Marvel style" in it - the classic page-turning effect, rough brushstrokes, and delicate character portrayal make people clearly feel that this is the opening of a Marvel movie. According to the film company, this "wrong style" opening really traveled across the ocean to find Chinese Marvel artists Chen Yongfa and Lin Huishan to write it. When the film was released, the two artists even presented a personally drawn poster for "Shi Leng" as a congratulation. Although everyone with a discerning eye can see this strong "Marvel feeling", the two directors complained that "they are pure DC fans, but DC is too disappointing in the film industry." When talking about the actor's ability to vent his complaints, the director also admitted that "it is very similar to Green Lantern's ability, but the movie "Green Lantern" is too ordinary." In the end, the actor put on a tights and a cape, echoing the Marvel-style introduction at the beginning, which may be the two directors' greatest tribute to Marvel and their deep expectations for DC.

Careful viewers will easily find that there are many time-traveling characters in this movie, and Luffy in the comic "One Piece" is one of the representative ones. When the male protagonist was on trial, this popular character with eye-catching clothes really attracted the audience's attention. When Pinocchio traveled through time and came to the 21st century, this simple-minded guy burst out another sentence that made the audience laugh: "Didn't we agree to be partners?" This sentence that ordinary people don't understand but anime fans can't stop laughing also proves that "Shi Leng" has many hidden jokes. In the comic "One Piece", a character with a long nose, known as the "Sniper King", is one of Luffy's partners. The matching of character characteristics and the collision of time and space caused something that should not have happened to happen. The plot is cleverly set up and the jokes are enough. Directors Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie also admitted that "I particularly like "One Piece" and regard it as a life creed."

Speaking of tributes, we have to mention the soundtrack "Come, Sweet Complaints" when the male protagonist went berserk after accumulating too much energy, which reminded the audience of the famous song "Come, Sweet Death" during the third impact in the EVA theatrical version "Air Is for You". The song's slow melody and gentle voice touched the hearts of every audience member, and made people feel once again the only warmth in the environment of power, destruction, loss of control, awakening, etc. in "EVA". Many audiences born in the 1980s also had tears in their eyes when they saw this scene and shouted that the director was so loving.

Directors Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie once said, "We are Nolan's die-hard fans, so you can see "The Prestige" in the movie." The wonderful clips of many blockbusters have fascinated Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie several times. As directors, it has always been the dream of the two directors to be able to put their respect and love for classics into their works. In "Ten Cold", it is not difficult to find the presentation of various classic elements such as "Pacific Rim", "Transformers", "Men in Black", etc. The audience laughed when they saw the familiar situation appear but "turned" halfway, and these are all alternative tributes to the classics by the two directors. "Ten Cold", which is full of respect and laughter, is bound to bring the audience the hottest viewing experience this winter.
