1905 movie network news As soon as it was released, it was full of laughter. What is obvious in the movie is Lu Dao’s tribute to Xingye’s movie — — Dirty but Xanadu-like depraved street is just like the pig cage city village in China. The shabby home and poor childhood of Xiaoyu remind you that Lu Zhengyu even bought a god of food … … Along the way, Master Xing’s influence on Lu Zhengyu is beyond doubt, even deep into the bone marrow. However, while paying tribute to Master Xing, you can find clever parodies of other classic works, or ingenious ideas carefully designed by Lu Dao in combination with his own works or personal experiences. These ingenious details make the film laugh densely and surprise you at any time, and also make the whole film extraordinarily "solid" in the story, so that you are inadvertently poked by a tiny point. Below, let’s take stock of 30 details that are not easy to find in the peerless master.
Vague plot
Director Lu Zhengyu is not only a fan of Master Xing, but also a loyal fan of many directors — — Chaplin, Quentin, Tornadore … … In his early work "Hip Hop Quartet", you can find that he specially arranged a bread dance for himself in honor of Chaplin. In his first full-length work, he naturally won’t forget to pay tribute to other favorite filmmakers.
? 1 The sun sets.
On the one hand, the silhouette of the new Uemon gentleman and Jerry in the red sunset is somewhat like the scenery in Shaw’s movies, which is in the same strain as the short film "peerless master". On the other hand, the Japanese arrangement and the iconic red color are also a tribute to Kurosawa.
2 artists
Boss Cai is about to win the Fallen Street, and a feather landed heavily when singing "The Same Song", which pays tribute to the best film at the 2012 Oscar. In "The Artist", the exaggerated sound effect of feather landing shows the inner fear of the hero, and in "Masterless", it also shows the urgency that the degenerate street is about to be transferred.
3 Bruce Lee
Many people should have found that Xiaoman’s sportswear in the film is yellow and black, which pays tribute to Bruce Lee’s classic dress. Later, the same paragraph for Xiaoyu also says "awesome".
4 《Un Amico》
In the emotional climax of the film, Xiaoman landed heavily, and the soundtrack was Un Amico, which appeared in Lu Dao’s previous wedding photo, and the soundtrack of Quentin’s works. If you have seen this film, you will know that this piece symbolizes love and betrayal, and it has formed a wonderful intertextual relationship in three works.
Animation terrier
The post-80s generation grew up watching anime, and Lu Dao himself admitted that it was deeply influenced by Japanese anime. In the film, you can also find many anime stalks and smile — —
5 "China’s Little Master"
The presentation of cooking in the film and the feelings of the judges after eating the food are all kinds of tributes to "Little Master". The funniest part is that the three masters ate the sashimi of the new Uemon gentleman and wandered around the ocean world, and they came to "have a head" of carp.
6 "Doraemon"
Doraemon in Xiaotian’s hand is an important prop, but there are other tributes to Doraemon in the whole film. At the beginning of the story, Xiaoyu and Xiaotian fell into a door that was graffiti-painted as an arbitrary door and entered the depraved street, so Xiao Tian suspected that they had crossed it. There are also small fish living in the "big stone tube" and hiding in the stone tube when they were sad in childhood. In Doraemon, after being bullied by Pang Hu, Daxiong often hides in a big stone pipe and cries. When the fish met Xiaoman, the cement pipe flew, which should be an externalization of the fish’s heart being opened.
7 "Dragon Ball"
At the beginning, it can be found that the incense burner in Jerry’s room is not Guan Gong Guanyin, but a the Monkey King hand-made, with the "Fighting Buddha" in red paper and black. Jerry’s walking stick and the mural behind the kitchen are all in the shape of dragons. It seems that Jerry is a fan of Dragon Ball. Sure enough, when Jerry was fighting with Tom, he used his true spirit to conjure up a the Monkey King.
8 Tom and Jerry
Everyone can see the spoof of "Tom" and "Jerry". What I want to say here is that this tribute is actually very clever. As soon as the name appears, we don’t have to explain any previous history, we know that this is a relationship between two people who love each other and kill each other. Wonderful.
nine
Isn’t the soundtrack of Jerry hanging in the air, his face full of light, saying that he would teach the fish secrets familiar? In fact, the theme music of Kung Fu Panda has been spoofed here. No wonder there is a mysterious sense of sight. Interestingly, the cheats in Kung Fu Panda are actually empty, so Jerry actually doesn’t intend to teach them.
memory of the youth
Lu Zhengyu was born in Anhua, Hunan, a small county with beautiful scenery, and the influence of Hunan local culture on him is also deeply rooted. In 2006, it was in his hometown that Lu Dao filmed the first feature film "Diary of Mo Xiaobai’s Monster". After eleven years’ hard work, I have finally finished the first cinema film "peerless master", in which you can naturally find his tribute to his hometown culture and his past works.
10 Fallen Street 19-83
The number 1983 of Fallen Street is the year when Lu Zhengyu was born. In fact, the name "Fallen Street" comes from the Fallen Street in Changsha, Hunan Province. A street surrounded by hotels, houses and small restaurants is very popular among college students, but it has now been demolished. In fact, in the university towns of many cities, there is such a shabby and dirty street that we miss. Just like in the movie, good people live in the "degenerate street", but they are not degenerate. Boss Cai’s business is called Heshan Group, but the employees inside are not kind.
"Fallen Street" also represents Lu Dao’s childhood memories. The well-designed shop signs, food stalls, video halls, billiard halls, game halls, barbershops and Xinhua Bookstore in the set are all familiar styles after 1980s and 1990s, and the director just wants to find this childhood feeling.
Episodes in 11 movies
On the one hand, it is a childhood memory of the post-80s generation, on the other hand, it also has a wonderful echo with the story: the little fish strayed into the paradise-like degenerate street, and the legendary cheats seemed to be close at hand, and the background music sounded the Legend of God in the list of gods. Tom Jerry’s sadomasochism is accompanied by "Asking for Love" in "Joking and Doing Long", which is about love wasting. Cai Guoqing’s signature track "365 Blessings" and "The Same Song" are matched with the evil of Heshan Group, and the huge contrast produces a strong sense of banter. In fact, Lu Dao loves to sing as well as acting, and he sang the male part of "Asking for Love" at the end of the film himself.
12 "Four Newcomers"
When I was a child, I should have heard Grandpa Deng’s saying that "there are four new people". In fact, the content of the four newcomers in the movie has changed a little, and it has become: "courage, ideals, ambition and responsibility" (so Xiaoyu didn’t value morality at first, hahaha). Later, when Xiaoman confronted Xiaoyu, Xiaoman said that Xiaoyu was a newcomer, which was what Xiaoyu’s mother said to him when he was a child. Lu Zhengyu has always loved to use the expressions of these times, and the words "black five kinds of molecules" appeared in Mo Xiaobai’s Diary of the Monster.
13 "peerless master"
Although this "peerless master" has nothing to do with the short film version, it still has a small tribute. After listening to Jerry’s speech, Xiaoyu couldn’t help knitting a sweater, echoing the dance that he couldn’t help himself. In this play, the sleeping character also made the same snore as the rising lion in the short film, except that the master fell asleep in the short film, and the fish fell asleep in the long film. In Cai Guoqing’s hand office, there is Master Bai Mei in the short film "The peerless master", which is also a tribute to the director.
14 "Hip-hop Quartet"
The host played by Zhao Yingjun is a big surprise in the film, and his few appearances contribute a lot of jokes. One of the jokes is that he suddenly drifted away as he spoke. In fact, the old audience will find that this is a tribute to the "wind-like" Mr. Wang in the Hip-hop Quartet.
15 old acquaintances
There are some old faces in Lu Dao’s previous works, such as Yang Di, the mermaid, and Li Ding, the CP of Yang Di in Hip-hop, which is not easy to find. Even SKY, the king of e-sports, has quietly made a guest appearance as Boss Cai’s college roommate.
Delicate conception
In addition to these tributes, the whole film "peerless master" is also covered with the director’s fine detail design. These elaborate designs either enrich the characters or make the story memorable.
16 Lu Xiaoyu without pain
Lu Xiaoyu is Lu Zhengyu’s favorite name since Hip-hop Trilogy, just as Zhou Xingxing is to Stephen Chow. Lu Zhengyu once said in an interview that the protagonists in his novels always have some similar qualities. "They are ordinary people, but they always want to be a successful person or a peerless master. There are some vain places, but there are also some advantages, such as kindness and persistence. " The same is true of Lu Xiaoyu in the peerless master. Because he couldn’t face the mistakes he made when he was a child, he simply broke the jar and fell, hypnotizing himself as "a callous bad guy", but in fact, his inner kindness could not be hidden.
The "painless" character setting not only creates a lot of jokes, but also helps to shape the character. Because there is no consciousness, even if you are stabbed with a knife, you don’t know, and you may die of blood. Therefore, Xiaoyu is particularly cautious, and his emotional timidity can be explained.
17 Xiaoman
If no pain is the externalization of the character of Xiaoyu, Xiaoman’s clothing design is the externalization of her psychology. When Xiaoman faced the enemy of Heshan Group, she wrapped herself in a thick "armor", but when facing the small fish, she was disarmed and turned into a simple sportswear. When the fish went to find Tom and disappeared, she put on her armor again.
However, the sportswear that Xiaoman gave Xiaoyu was initially rejected by Xiaoyu, but finally Xiaoyu put it on to defend the degenerate street, which also indicated that he was "Xiaoman’s man from now on".
There are many tattoos on Xiaoman’s forearm, and it is only in the close-up that it is found to be a star, a spaceship and an astronaut. Xiaoman’s mother left her when she was a child, saying that she was going to be an astronaut. Xiaoman didn’t believe it at all, saying that her mother just ran away with other uncles, and the reasons were still so perfunctory. But in spite of this, she still tattooed the universe on her body and left her mother on her body. A detail, let us know how fragile this girl is under her tough appearance. When she saw her dream broken, she was particularly distressed.
18 the hidden Jerry
Jerry’s setting of "knitting a sweater with noodles" is refreshing. Lu Zhengyu said that it is because noodles and wool feel the same and naturally associate with it. In fact, Jerry’s image as a master has always been paved. Jerry has many medals on him in the begging costume. At first glance, he looks like a soldier. If you look closely, it says "Sweater Master" and so on. In addition to knitting, Jerry’s room is hung with many other professional "qualifications", such as "Chinese massage". Sure enough, when kneading dough, Jerry uses traditional massage techniques, and the master is really hidden. As for why Jerry can cross-dress for a second, the director said that it is because "his setting is a liar, and a liar can become another person at any time."
19 Tom Jerry showdown
Tom and Tom have incarnations when they confront each other. At first, it was the evil wolf VS the white crane. Lu Dao said that the evil wolf represents aggression and the white crane represents tolerance. The bright wings of the white crane is a famous move in martial arts, which is also a little thought of Lu Zhengyu, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood. The little monster VS Super Saiyan behind, on the one hand, pays tribute to the cartoon, on the other hand, it also represents that "a person with childlike innocence can overcome everything"
The cauldron between them contains the bottom of Yuanyang pot, which is deeply loved by the people. The red and white colors are hot and warm, and they are opposite to each other, and they are also faintly Tai Chi, and the design is very clever. The special effects of this play are really great. I feel that the funds are burning and the creativity is unique.
20 Young Tom Jerry
Playing the young version of Tom is Chen Chong’s daughter, Xu Wenshan. No wonder she looks alike. The young version of Jerry is played by a young actor, Lu Zhuo, who once appeared in "Know You Can’t Read". He and the director with the same surname Lu are naturally … … A cooperative relationship without relatives.
21 Chuzhuangyuan Dong Ke
The final judge was called "Mr. Dong", and according to Jerry, it was because of the top chef Dong Ke and Tom Jerry that there was a misunderstanding when he was young. In fact, "Mr. Dong" and "Dong Ke" are the same person. No wonder he said that Tom’s figure is in good shape and he always wants Tom’s micro-signal.
22 tips
At the beginning of the film, it is said that the whole world is looking for the secret book. In fact, this is a message sent by Tom. At the end of the film, Tom said that she mobilized the whole world to find the secret book, which is how she wanted Jerry to come to her.
And why did the little fish find the degenerate street? Because he searched online for "Cheats of Cooking Delicious", the online shop he found had the QR code of the pictures of cats and mice, and this online shop was called "Jerry’s Shop". Jerry posted his address on the Internet through the QR code, and also left the secret code of cat and mouse, hoping that Tom would come to him. Both of them are waiting for each other and love each other.
At the end of the film, Jerry said that the cheats he burned were fake, which surprised many viewers. It seems that he didn’t play this scene. In fact, burning cheats was written in the headlines of the newspaper after the fall street was smashed. The secrets in this film are different from those in traditional martial arts and Stephen Chow movies, and no one has become a peerless master because of the secrets. There is only one word "emotion" that can really determine the taste of food and influence people’s hearts.
23 Nostalgic Boss Cai
Boss Cai has a strong desire for control, and he never throws away his childhood toys, so he is afraid of rusting and soaks in formalin. The image of his minion is also strictly controlled by him — — Chun-Li’s little secretary looks exactly like the beauty queen he secretly loved in college; The four heavenly kings were his idols in college. In the short dormitory play, we can find that Boss Cai is wearing T-shirts of the four heavenly kings, and their posters are also posted on the wall. Everything he didn’t get before, he held in his hand in a very abnormal way.
24 Four Heavenly Kings
Cai Guoqing’s four heavenly kings have actually changed their titles twice, and they are childhood idols every time. The first time was the four great kings of Kung Fu, Shiyu, Yuanjia, Feihong and Q; The second time was the four kings of entertainment, Dehua, Xueyou, Fucheng and Ming.
25 New Uemon
The new Uemon master played by Yasuaki Kurata in the movie is a Virgo obsessive-compulsive disorder. This song is based on the personal experience of director Lu Zhengyu, who is a typical Virgo. The lyrics of Yasuaki Kurata’s song "Don’t Guess Virgo’s Mind" were written by Lu Zhengyu. Yasuaki Kurata himself is a serious person. He still keeps exercising every day at the age of 70, and is on the set in leg press.
26 Three Masters
The design of the three masters is also full of ingenuity.
Mei Jie (Isabelle) likes Jianguo (Kodak). Her Tao has two ends. She eats lollipops every time she faces Jianguo. When facing Yong Jun (Yang Di) and the enemy, he smokes e-cigarettes. "His mouth is a little bad guy who lies, but his body is an honest boy.".
Jianguo loves sports, and his clothes say macho man and athlete, and he has been wearing many gold medals. Finally, I found out that the gold medal was the gold medal chocolate when I was a child.
Yongjun’s ear is stuck with acupuncture stickers, which are used by many children in childhood to treat myopia. It is very contemporary, and at the same time, Yongjun’s face also appears from time to time as an indentation from sleep, so he deserves to be a college otaku.
27 Xiaotian
Xiaotian, played by teacher Kong Lianshun in the film, is a nostalgic anime fan, and his clothes are printed with either Donald Duck or Astro Boy, so Doraemon broke him so sadly. He has two tattoos on his body: crab and bullying, but both of them are very funny. Poor him, he doesn’t even pretend to be cruel.
28 silent confession
Did Xiaoman, Grandpa and the three masters hear the true confession of Xiaoyu? The message given in the film is also TV mute. But in fact, in the foreground of the close-up of TV mute, there is a circle of quilt as a cover, and the next shot is that Xiaoman shows an eye in the quilt. At first, I thought it was just a disheartened look at other places. In fact, Xiaoman really saw TV, which can also explain why Xiaoman was so quick to bury the hatchet with Xiaoyu.
29 la
"Spicy" is a clue that runs through the whole film. On the one hand, the reason for choosing "spicy" is because the director is from Hunan and likes spicy things; On the other hand, spicy is also the closest feeling to pain, and only spicy makes you feel pain. Lu Xiaoyu has no sensation and pain on the surface, but his heart still hurts. The whole film is run through many settings about pain, so spicy food has different functions in all stages of the film.
Interestingly, at first, small fish cried when they ate bad food, and they felt very spicy when they ate special Chili sauce. Although the parents of Xiaoyu’s classmate said that all the steamed buns in Xiaoyu’s house were smelly, it should be exaggerated irony. From the film, mother Xiaoyu also took leftovers from colleagues. If they are stale, they will definitely not be smelly. In fact, small fish react greatly because they have extremely keen senses in childhood, so they react greatly to slightly stale and exciting food. The design of "peerless master" has laid the groundwork here.
Mother’s characteristics Chili sauce is a painful memory of small fish, but it is also beautiful, and Chili is also spicy and delicious. Pain can stimulate people’s senses, and only when they feel great pain will they have the strength to regenerate. Therefore, at the critical moment, it is the taste of pepper full of memories that stimulates the potential of small fish and the taste of everyone.
There are two anecdotes about spicy food. One appeared in the production special. In order to get the real effect of the scene of mixing Chili sauce, Lu Dao insisted on mixing real Chili with his bare hands, and took three shots, all his hands were swollen. One is the old godmother who came out at the finale. In fact, she is not Ms. Tao herself, so she is called Chili sauce godmother.
30 fairy tales
Many people may not have expected that there will be eggs at the end of the film. In the words of Lu Dao, "only people who are destined can see them." Eggs tell us that Xiaoman’s mother really went to be an astronaut and will go home soon. She also planted flowers for Xiaoman, who has never had a big red flower in kindergarten, which are not found on the earth.
When the audience followed Xiaoyu all the way through the degenerate street and the catering group, through betrayal and deception, and finally saw a fairy tale ending sent by the director, Xiaoman’s mother didn’t lie to her, and there must be true feelings like Xiaoyu and Xiaoman, Tom and Jerry in the world. The fairy-tale scene in the film also has the fantasy of small fish, and the clouds in the sky become the shape of food. The director’s name at the end of the film is also made up of clouds. Perhaps, for Lu Zhengyu, the successful director of "peerless master" is a fairy tale in his heart.
