The jury of the 26th Berlin International Short Film Festival in Germany said in its award speech, "This is a very valuable film. It has a unique visual style that uses modern pop culture and humorous elements to bring the author into the world. The views on the human living environment, peace and war are conveyed, the whole movie is very funny, and the theme of peace and war is appropriately expressed. "Core idea

This short film is about anti-war on the surface, but this is. In fact, it is not the core idea. The reason why spider web elements are used in the opening and closing credits and on the poster is actually a metaphor for the environment we live in. Our parents, elders, relatives and friends, superiors and subordinates, neighbors and the surrounding human and natural environment are all inextricably linked to us. All our decisions and actions are affected by these connections, and we are often unaware of them. It's up to you to get lost in these implication and make decisions that you don't want to make. Sometimes we really need some insights, enlightenment, and detachment, to escape from the shackles of the dusty web, to realize the naked running of thoughts without desires, preferences, joys, sorrows, prejudices, and positions, and to be the truly original self.

But that’s not easy. After all, the short film is a short film. It cannot show the transcendent dilemma in the 16-minute length. It just gives a closed ending with no room for choice. This is also my biggest regret.

So although the style of this short film is relatively Westernized, its core is Eastern Buddhist thought. In fact, this title refers to the discovery of the treasure of "true self", which is the greatest treasure in life. If you have found such a treasure, what more can you ask for?

The whole story unfolds in the form of playing cards, which is also a highlight of the film. It leaves people with a deep thought in a relaxed atmosphere, which is worth thinking about and savoring.

Ending List

At the end of "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon", there is a long list, and these lists are not the cast and crew, but the author Yang Yang Yu’s idols include Ang Lee, Akira Kurosawa, Yu Qiuyu, Jet Li, Jack Ma and other well-known celebrities. When asked why, Yang Yu said, “It seems to be a bit of a joke or a prank, but it’s not entirely true. It’s more accurate. The reason is that everyone in the work has something to say, and I also take this opportunity to express the people I admire, which also expresses my world view and values."

Title meaning

Such an elegant and literary title is indeed not understandable to the general public. This is a quotation from the classics. According to the last scene of the historical book "The Deer and the Cauldron", Master Xing and the villain so-and-so fought in Huangling in the eastern suburbs. The battle lasted for 300 rounds, and the ground collapsed, revealing the treasures that the Manchus had hidden when they entered the customs. , Wei Xiaobao, played by Mr. Xing, and the villain So-and-so are both money-grubbing people, working desperately for a fortune, so Mr. Xing felt inspired and said: "I'm still going to fight, let's fight a big watermelon!"

The meaning of the name

The author Jiao Keli said that he wanted to choose a name that the audience would like without having to explain the meaning. Food and color should also be worked on subconsciously for the best effect. Color should not be stained, so it should be positioned on the food, so that everyone will drool as soon as they hear it.

Pixar’s English name sounds like pizza (it doesn’t sound like it in Chinese). In addition, when foreigners mention Chinese food, dumplings are of course unique to China, so they change chocolate into dumpling chocolate, so that it has a Chinese flavor and becomes a combination of Chinese and Western. In addition, chocolate was replaced by jokelate. The previous joke means a joke, which fits the style of our work, which is cynical and entertaining. Another important point is that generally speaking, the most delicious food is Foods that are harmful to the body, such as fried, barbecued, sugary, salty, and high-calorie foods; foods that are not delicious are generally good for the body, such as plain meals, plain food, and food with no taste. The exception is chocolate, which tastes great and is good for you (in moderation, of course). So our "Dumpling Keli" is to make such food. The happiness of the audience is based on the pain of the creator. We must practice ourselves to make the audience smile, and make the mouths of the audience who have seen the "Diao Keli" work turn into the shape of the "Diao Keli" logo.
