《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?

2020-10-07来源:和谐英语

今年国庆档竞争可谓相当激烈,《我和我的家乡》在上映第三天反超《姜子牙》,“逆袭”成为票房冠军。截至5日,该片累计票房已突破11亿!

 作为去年国庆档爆款大片《我和我的祖国》的姊妹篇,这部新片是用“同款秘方”炮制,一样的大牌明星云集,一样是七位导演用五个独立故事,书写同一篇“命题作文”。

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.

合集电影的独特魅力在于,短短两小时里,观众可以被带到许多角色和故事中。

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

在《我和我的家乡》里,观众则被影片带领着,去游览了五个地方的山光水色。五个让人笑中带泪的故事,激起对人们对家乡的怀念和热爱。

In My People, My Homeland, you will travel to five areas with quite different geographical characteristics.

 

北京好人

第一个故事发生在大家熟悉的北京。

去年,葛优在《我和我的祖国》里那个贫嘴而热心肠的北京出租车司机张北京让人难忘,这次,他再次出演张北京,又遇到了新麻烦。

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

 住在乡下的表舅在北京当快递员,因为得了甲状腺瘤,来找他借钱治病。张北京正计划着用这笔钱买了新车当专车司机,没舍得把钱给表舅。于是,他想出了一个馊主意,让表舅冒充自己好使用自己的医保。

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.

 作为中国最好的喜剧演员之一,葛大爷也再次贡献了教科书般的表演。

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

某种意义上,陈思诚导演的《天上掉下个UFO》有着对宁浩《疯狂外星人》和他自己“唐探”系列的致敬。

 在这个故事里,学会了讲贵州话的黄渤饰演一个小镇发明家,他无意中卷入了神秘的UFO事件。

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

王宝强和刘昊然饰演的媒体二人组,戴着墨镜大步流星走出场时,很容易让人回忆起他们在“唐探”系列中的角色。

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)

 这个故事在喜剧抖包袱之外,最有意思的地方,大概是它也能让你对所谓的文化旅游有更深刻的思考。

It's an interesting story that could stir an in-depth thought about the so-called cultural tourism.

 

最后一课

范伟的《最后一课》是最让人笑中带泪的一部。

The Last Class is a funny but also tear-jerking tale.

 一个旅居海外多年的老华侨,因病失去部分记忆,而留在脑海深处的,还是他曾奉献了十年青春的乡村教师时光。

 于是,他儿子将他带回老家,请曾经的学生、如今的村民,举全村之力,为他复原最后一课的场景。在鸡飞狗跳之余,是让人动容的脉脉温情。

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

 沈腾和马丽这对顶级“搞笑组合”再次联手的《神笔马亮》则再次显示了开心麻花的功力:搞笑,果然还得靠专业的。

The Magical Painter Ma Liang — starring comedians Shen Teng and Ma Li — again shows Mahua FunAge's ability to produce a popular comedy.

 沈腾饰演的画家借调到乡下去扶贫,而他身为摔跤教练的妻子马丽,却希望他去俄罗斯深造。

 “惧内”的沈腾只好瞒着怀孕的妻子,集合一帮绝对“戏精”本精的村民们,生生将一个东北农村伪装成俄罗斯乡下。村长戴着假发说俄语的时候,感觉电影院的椅子都被笑颤了。

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

相较于其他四个故事,邓超和闫妮的《回乡之路》略有些厚重,反转得也似乎略显突兀。

 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.

 一千个人有一千个哈姆雷特,相信每个人对这些故事都有不同的理解。

或许,《我和我的家乡》就像一份自助餐,喜欢哪盘菜,您就端哪盘。欢迎分享下,你最喜欢哪个故事。
