"Laughed the shadows" on the surface has a rather special combination of: Chu Yen-ping is a well-known comedy director in Taiwan, mainland writers Ningcai Shen is the rise of the Internet age writer, and stage of Zhao, Shenyang and other is from a small New Year Festival to come out of the three looks 当红炸子鸡 ... ... a combination of style is not very uniform, creating the "Laughing Wild World" is an entertainment era of assembly line of standard parts.
The story is very simple movie, like to watch martial arts since childhood comics because it will give a small shoemaker to send shoes Touch of Zen encountered on exposed unfathomable mystery of the martial arts for the elderly, reclusive mountain freak, etc., and finally defeated the attempt against the law to protect the emperor, eunuchs , won the beauty of love ... ... so the story, narrative mode, and no place to shock the world, but was taken to Hollywood mainstream in the story of the most common "hero's journey" type of mode. "Hero's journey" model is the European and American scholars of East and West through the myths, fairy tales, religious stories and abstract summed up the story mode, and "Heroes" is also Joseph Campbell described it as "A Thousand Heroes" - "Heroes From daily life of the world starting to take a variety of risks, into a supernatural magic fields; in that field of magic, and a variety of incredible bulk powerful supernatural experiences, and achieved a decisive victory; so complete that the mysterious hero adventure, with similar benefits can force his return. " And specific to this "laughed the shadows", the small Shenyang play only a small shoemaker started the little people like to watch martial arts comic books, also out of town to see the outside to a magical world, but has not been going out, until it encounters Kelly Lin Lu played A Touch of Zen months; field stripped the role of the hero journey is equivalent to that in the "gatekeeper", the mysterious old man encountered on board is a small shoemaker's "mentor" the last movie sucked ... ... Home / States combine the two different lines, and with a small shoemaker's done this to defeat opponents adventure. "Laughing Wild World" is not like a lot of Chinese film-like pursuit of innovative or experimental in form, but followed the conservative mainstream of Hollywood's most "heroic journey" model, narrative.
History from a specific point of view, the martial arts film as a comedy package coat, on behalf of the rich into a series of comic stories, scenes, lines and so on. Such as the shoemaker in a small boat that met two of those robberies a play, first a combination of popular Chinese-language film this year (including the "Orphan," "You Are the One 2", "Let the bullets fly"), including the type of ridicule lines, then the context was a combination of fight scene (the mysterious old man through the Ship, peanuts and other secretly helping small shoemaker), affectionate the King has humor; and continuous diversion of lake in the poem "spring blossoms , "" Star Wars "in the classic line" the Force be with you "(May the Force be with you)," Future Warrior "classic lines" I will come back "," Days of Being Wild "and" without legs birds, "the lines, etc., have been repeatedly diverted to the film" laughed the shadows "in the original form and between the" dislocation "had a sense of humor, though not elegant, but did not the original user-friendly.
American scholar, writer Robert McKee in the guide book "story - texture, structure, style and screen play of the problems," a book about comedy and drama is a big difference, "Comedy writers are allowed to suspend narrative momentum - - the audience will care what happens in the telling story of the process there is no purpose to insert a scene. this is entirely in order to win the audience laugh, "and" Laughing Wild World "is the driving force in the original narrative (small shoemaker to find Lu month to send shoes), based on the constant into the comedy scene, giving the general public laugh. Can say, "laughed the shadows" of course, not much originality, but at least the era of entertainment is a film production pipeline of qualified products.
