abstract

MiniMo was originally a nine-headed beauty. The so-called nine-headed beauty, that is, the ratio of head to body is 1 9, so she is naturally a well-proportioned my fair lady. Others are "haggard for Iraq" after being lovelorn, but after being stimulated by lovelorn, MiniMo has a different reaction. It may be that the endocrine system or digestion and absorption function are stimulated and become a fat woman of 260 kg. From my fair lady to a fat woman, inferiority complex arises spontaneously.

At this point, she was predestined to know the fat man (Andy Lau) who was in the same boat, and naturally she soon became a bosom friend. It is reported that Mini (played by Sammi Cheng) and his first lover Kurokawa Hiroshi (played by Rikiya Kurokawa) made a ten-year agreement ten years ago, and they will meet again ten years later. Now there are only 45 days left before the ten-year deadline, but Mini Mo, who has become a fat woman, certainly doesn't want to meet her first love because she is afraid that Kurokawa will see herself like this. In order to fulfill his lover, the kind-hearted fat man is determined to help restore his original body shape with Mini. For the rest of my life, I will help Mini lose weight in hell, step on a bike, pull an oil drum and be tired by hook or by crook. Many things happen. In these forty days, both Fatty and Mini have lost weight successfully. On the day of the ten-year contract, Mini and Kurokawa came together as scheduled. Things originally developed towards the happy ending of Kurokawa and Mini, but in an accidental TV interview, Mini saw a video of the fat man being beaten to help her pay for slimming, and she left Kurokawa to find the fat man. A few years later, she became a famous writer, published her slimming experience and met the fat boy again. Everything will be fine. All shall be well, jack shall have Jill. [2]

Andy Lau, who weighs 300 pounds, and Sammi Cheng, who weighs 260 pounds, are practicing leapfrog on the slope. Because both of them are wearing makeup clothes made of 20 kilograms of frog glue, it is inevitable that they will look clumsy. Sammi Cheng nearly wrestled several times, which made Andy Lau very anxious.

The producer invited Hollywood makeup artist Steve to make up for the fat boy and girl in Slim Men and Women. Stick it on the actor's skin with silica gel for no more than 8 hours. In order to catch up with the progress, director Du Qifeng actually spent more than 65,438+00 hours every day, which surprised Steve.

Because of glue allergy, Sammi Cheng's face appeared erythema. Steve resolutely refused to make up for Sammi Cheng. Du Qifeng decided to make the ending scene in the film. Sammi Cheng and Andy Lau reunited in Yamashita Park in Yokohama to celebrate their success in losing weight. They can't help being together in kisses and hugs.

Sammi Cheng put on a fat girl costume on the set of Slimming Men and Women, and everyone on the set was interested in her fake fat, especially her fake breasts, which were teased and touched all day. Although they can't touch the real body, they are always a little neurotic. But Sammi Cheng wasn't really angry.

Andy Lau compared the fat silicone coat to a quilt. It's like being wrapped in a quilt. You have to blow the air conditioner for three minutes every three minutes, or you will sweat.

Directing the film "Slimming Men and Women", Du Qifeng did it himself, and even Andy Lau had to personally guide every move in the film.

For a long time before the film started shooting, this "fat movie" always used the name "slimming love" and was later named "slimming men and women".

Sammi Cheng is the first actor in the crew to come and leave at the latest every day. Even on the night of attending the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, he didn't want to delay filming, so he hurried to the awards scene after work.

Wei Jiahui, the screenwriter, said that he referred to Du Qifeng when portraying the characters. When writing a script, he incorporated the characteristics of Du Qifeng into the script, such as some small moves: wiping the sweat with a handkerchief and putting his hand on his stomach.

The story tells that Andy Lau wants to make money to help Sammi Cheng lose weight, so he learns from a Japanese and spends 1000 yen on the street for five minutes to make money. Before filming, Andy Lau asked the Japanese for the secret of avoiding injury.

Sammi Cheng paid a heavy price for her health, because she worked too hard and the weather changed, which led to the recurrence of her asthma.

Film evaluation

A positive view

Slimming Men and Women is ingenious, portraying Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng as super fat girls. Instead of using computer stunts, Du Qifeng invited Hollywood makeup artist Steve to make special plastic models of fat people for Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng, and the effect was realistic. In the movie "Slimming Men and Women", Andy Lau made a 45-day crash slimming plan for Sammi Cheng, and the process of slimming in purgatory produced many jokes. For example, Andy Lau rode a disproportionate folding bicycle, took a feather duster, and drove Sammi Cheng like a cow. Sammi Cheng, panting, leaned over the street, sweating like a pig, and so on. (Sina. Com review)

The success of Slimming Men and Women lies not only in Sammi Cheng's heavy dress, but also in her wonderful performance, in which she completely interprets a gluttonous fat woman and makes people believe it. If the rough hand skin is not too fake, people will almost think that this is not Sammi Cheng at all. Although the makeup is slightly flawed, it is still exquisite; Although the performance is exaggerated, it is still very convincing. This is not only a journey for a fat woman to lose weight, but also a process for a woman to find true love. (Sina. Com review)

negative view

Slimming Men and Women is an out-and-out commercial film. Compared with Du Qifeng's works in the "Galaxy Image" period, the artistic level of the film is not high. In Slimming Men and Women, Andy Lau finally appeared as a handsome guy, which makes people feel that director Du Qifeng has more and more things to compromise with business and the public. Compared with the works of Du Qifeng's "Galaxy Image" era, "Slimming Men and Women" pays less attention to the public spirit, and pays too much attention to the public taste, which makes the director have no time to explore the connotation tension of the film and can only become superficial.
