Two robbers told Fortune.

Dapeng has acted frequently in movies in recent years. He almost always cuts into the lives of ordinary people as a nobody and becomes a mirror image of some people.

As the context of his films becomes clearer and clearer, the arc of the characters of the little people becomes more and more saturated, and the story that can be finished with an allegory becomes the biggest feature of his films.

Dapeng's latest movie "The Big Winner" tells the story of "a fake robber robbing a bank".

The protagonist in the story is a veteran with a master's degree in finance, which can be regarded as "both civil and military". Why did such a person change the concept of "fake robber" in an exercise and turn himself into a "real" robber?

0 1, veterans

Stereotype is the veteran's identity setting, which laid all the foundation for this story.

We have all watched countless spy war dramas and know that the greatest feature of soldiers is rigor and meticulousness.

At the beginning of the film, we strictly insist that the project in our hands should follow all normal processes, abide by the rules, and have a dispute with the president.

This is a rigorous way to avoid risks. This serious and cautious habit is not only related to his personal character and family environment, but also probably stems from his habits and principles as a veteran.

Raise a soldier for a thousand days, and use it for a while.

As a soldier, in addition to daily training, they will also do different scene drills, try to figure out the enemy's criminal psychology again and again through exercises, and then find ways to break through.

As a rigorous veteran, he must have experienced many such situation drills. Everything is real and effective to him except the props.

Because of this, when he was assigned to play the robber, he was the only one who could devote himself wholeheartedly.

"I'm going to rob a bank. A hundred-dollar bill is1.15g,100000 is 2.5 pounds, 1023 pounds, and 3 million is 69 pounds. Actually, you can grab it, but it's too much trouble to run with you. It's easy to block a taxi, the bus stops, the subway can't squeeze in, and you have to run. This is manual labor. "

The calculation of paper money weight can be said to be his professional accomplishment. Grafting this professional knowledge on a robber is also the quality of a robber.

Robbing a bank is not a simple matter. From robbery to running away, from controlling bank employees to controlling hostages, mistakes in every link mean that the arrest has failed, and there must be an emergency evacuation plan.

When everyone is planning to go through the motions, they can get off work early, have a date and spend time with their families. Only by being rigorous, they are fully prepared to "rob the bank".

Step on the spot in advance, observe the escape route, make an evacuation plan, and cooperate with your accomplices.

Stiff was forced to retreat, not because there was no retreat, nor because it was set according to the exercise, but because it was the best escape route he chose after investigation.

At the beginning of the film, someone mentioned: "Since there is no chance of success in the bank, what is the significance of the exercise?"

"There are no rabbits in the mountains, and hunters don't sharpen their guns?" This is the Secretary's reply.

In other words, the Secretary wants to let the public know how to calm down, how to protect themselves, how to cooperate with the police, how to escape, and how to understand the mentality of robbers when these things happen.

Rigorous and sober, he knows that this is an exercise, an exercise that requires everyone's cooperation and growth.

Except for the seriousness between himself and the director, he knew that everyone else was just going through the motions.

Once he escapes to the outdoors, the rehearsal becomes his own one-man show, and others have to leave and go home, so the rehearsal is meaningless.

Rigid is also very serious. He knew it was a "real" task. Since it is a task, we must ensure the most perfect solution.

On the one hand, he should ensure everyone's participation, on the other hand, he should minimize the cost of the exercise and the expected casualties.

Once he exercises seriously and moves his position outdoors, the passive police will stage a street chase with him, which will inevitably involve more innocent people. Once he is worried, this "real" robbery will soon come to an end and fail to achieve the expected results.

It's true that he didn't follow the routine, but every step was well thought out. Going back to the bank is the best way. In addition, he has an accomplice who has been hidden from the beginning.

Of course, in the movie, he used an interesting episode to hide his real intention, that is, while he was dragging his suitcase, his sister ran away quickly in a small electric car before he could sit still.

02. Reasonable crime

In the robber's last confession, one paragraph was edited and the other was released in an egg-like way.

However, it is undeniable that through the filling of the second confession, we can understand that rigorous writing and his environment are an extreme misunderstanding of society and people around him.

The long-term accumulation of misunderstanding has changed a person's psychology, which is not unusual or rigorous. It is to play such a deranged person.

In the movie, for the drill of "robbing a bank", they said "robbing a bank reasonably", which caters to the characters' psychology very much.

Especially rigorous, it plays the role of a "group portrait" experience that has been "squeezed out" for five years and ignored by everyone for countless years.

How many people have had dark moments?

Have you ever had "criminal thoughts"?

It's just that justice has overcome evil thoughts. What will you do when someone tells him that you can put aside all scruples and "commit a reasonable crime"?

The setting of the role of rigor may be our state in extreme circumstances. In this state, no one can save himself except himself.

I remember there was a movie before, when the male examiner took the police academy, he was asked why he wanted to take the police academy and become a policeman.

The other person's answer is to try the perfect crime.

Will rigor, like this man, get used to being an upright and serious soldier, and subconsciously desire to be a gangster and stand on the opposite side of justice after all misunderstandings?

There are many scenes of virtual and real switching in the movie, which is particularly interesting.

In every "crazy" action, the well-played robbers will have some "bloody" and "real" pictures that are laughed at and played alternately by everyone.

This is a switch back and forth between the two perspectives.

One is rigorous and his family, even the director's, and the other is most ordinary people.

The shot that the first sacrificed policeman hit on the forehead showed a bloody picture of "shooting a real gun" and the reversal of "shooting a fake gun" and "toy gun".

Doing push-ups rigorously instead of "raping" the female employees of the bank is not shown in the rigorous mind, but it is undeniable that rigor is probably in the mind, and such "vicious" gangster behavior is also expected.

There is also a strict little sister, who has been treated as a mute for a long time because of vocal cord injury, but in the tense confrontation between the "robber" and the police, she grabbed the microphone and told him the layout of the police outside the door.

In the following story, it tends to be more and more real, including carefully reading the "robbery strategy" recorded in the notebook from time to time, playing psychological tactics with the police, plotting with accomplices, designing escape routes, finding an electrician to deal with the water valve problem at the back door of the bank, ensuring that the water and electricity can be used (the role here is of course false), forming a second protective net, finding someone to make changes on the ceiling of the bank to ensure that it can be hidden, and putting a "banana" at the back door of the bank.

At every level, almost all "robbers" lead them by the nose, which is also the advice of his strict father.

When he was going to "rob a bank", his stern father told him: "If there are difficulties, overcome them, and if there are no difficulties, create difficulties for the police".

Why are you doing this?

As a robber, robbing a bank is for money. Some people do it for excitement, but naturally it is not for death. The opposite of rigor is a gun, which is a threat of imprisonment or even death.

By these times, Yan Zheng was no longer "acting", but regarded himself as the most real "robber". What he has to do is how to escape from the police's defense circle, instead of raising his hand and surrendering.

03, the social status of all living beings are sick.

The film director Yu Miao once said in an interview: "Do we think the correct values are wrong? Is it possible that geeks in our eyes have mastered the truth instead? This is the core of making this film. "

In fact, it is difficult for us to judge whether a person's values are correct. Many times, just because everyone says and does this, suddenly there is a different one, and we feel that the other party is different.

A person's life has been dull for a long time, and it is easy to fall into a lazy comfort zone and let lazy thoughts dominate life.

Too many things are ignored, which is the root cause of serious consequences.

In the movie, in order to make everyone's carelessness look good.

First of all, the sacrifice of the first policeman should have been a serious role, which was too trifling and was directly shot by the "robber"; Secondly, the female employee who constantly provoked and teased rigorous "holding a chicken feather as an arrow" was finally directly executed on the spot; There are still many anomalies, which are actually very clumsy. She spoke for the robber several times, and no one doubted her. She left the toilet halfway to set up a banana bomb, and no one doubted her. She colluded with the robbers in advance and tampered with the back door of the bank. No one was wary of her.

In other words, in fact, since the announcement of the news, rigorous family members, Yu Haijiao and even the director have participated in the exercise. Only the staff, only the police, are still watching outside the play and treating the exercise as a joke.

In order to highlight the rigorous character curve and complete the rigorous psychological growth, some auxiliary functional stories are added to the story.

Because the child's name is a pregnant woman who quarrels with her husband, her grandfather and grandson who rarely meet each other every day, her vocal cords are damaged, and she has become a withdrawn and quiet sister, a strict mother-in-law and a strict father.

Especially Sister Yan, how did her vocal cords get damaged? She would rather let others think that she is dumb than speak. What is rigorous doing and thinking?

All sentient beings in society often have to go through something to really grow up.

In this exercise, from beginning to end, only Yan Jing, Yu Haijiao, Yan Jing's family and director really participated in the role wholeheartedly.

When receiving the task strictly, why did Yu Haijiao choose to stand with him? We can understand that this is because they are attracted to each other. Why did his parents and sisters choose to support him to "fake it"? We can say that they are related. Why does the director always take this exercise seriously? Because of his pattern, because he saw the possible accidents in the future.

Where are the others?

They all entered the play passively in the later stage, and were slowly confused by the rigorous truth, and finally they really accepted the rehearsal.

I remember in the movie, I repeated several similar words: "If this is a real robbery, the robbers will not go easy on me."

"I am not me anymore."

"Next I will try to be a real robber."

"I am a vicious robber and my mood is extremely unstable."

……

Why does he want to emphasize this repeatedly?

Obviously, in order to convince yourself, we should act realistically and let everyone see the value of this exercise.

Stereotype is the same as the director's model. They want the masses to be vigilant, and they also want them to get out of their comfort zone and learn to take everything seriously, including taking care of themselves, taking every choice seriously and taking the right path.

The Big Winner, which the audience thought was a rigorous story about how to become a big winner in life, promoted the theme by the way.

But in fact, this story is more like a cat-and-mouse game that will never end.

The original intention of directors and screenwriters is more like "everyone can be a winner", which is a "big winner" because "if our efforts have no results, then we will work harder".
