Is The Moon Man starring Shen Teng a comedy? Or a science fiction film?

Moon Man is a sci-fi comedy directed by Zhang Chiyu and starring Shen Teng and Mary, which is adapted from the comic book of the same name created by Korean cartoonist Zhao Shi.

Is this movie comedy or science fiction?

The film tells the story that human beings plan to deploy a lunar shield on the moon in order to resist the impact of asteroids and save the earth. The meteorite struck ahead of time. When all the personnel were evacuated, maintenance worker Du Guyue (Shen Teng) accidentally missed the evacuation notice of captain Ma Lanxing (Mary) and landed on the moon alone.

Unexpectedly, the Moon Shield project failed, and Duguyue became "the last human in the universe" and began his life of falling on the moon ... Duguyue, who was alone, found the same single king kong mouse. He thought he met his teammates, but actually met his opponents. Duguyue, who was beaten by Fancy, tried her best, but failed to build a bridge for cross-species communication. One man and one mouse on the vast moon, the future is uncertain. ...

Mary's partner in Shen Teng has created many comedies of the times, which are very ethnic. The audience wants to watch high-energy nonsense movies from beginning to end. Charlotte-style diplomatic relations, deliberately spoofing the jokes of vulgar, weak and old people. Laughing is laughing, but you can't be calm. This film can be laughed with heart, which belongs to the humor and warmth of civilized society and is happy.

The biggest difference between the movie Moon Man and the original.

The biggest driving force of the whole process of lonely moon in the movie is "love", but the comic version does not. Therefore, this is a "localization" adaptation. Shen Teng and Mary are both familiar with CP, but how to make it fresh in the familiar situation is a difficult problem. In this video, Shen Teng and Mary mostly talk from a distance, and their interaction is through the screen and microphone.

In fact, the Shen Teng in this movie is still the Shen Teng, and Mary is not the emotional and humorous Mary we are familiar with, but a cold, rational and expressionless Mary. This is also reflected in the plot. After resuming contact, Du Guyue asked Mary if she would come again when only two people were present. Will you take me with you when you leave? Ma Lanxing said no. Duguyue fainted and said, you are so cold-blooded. I really like it.

The film shows many times that Ma Lanxing also has a feminine side, but at work, she is a meticulous and selfless person. This attribute is consistent with Du Gu Yue's identity as a "science and engineering man". At the beginning of the film, Du Guyue commented on himself as a "middleman". This is a consistent setting, and this setting is also found in the original comics.

"Man on the Moon" is the first film made in China, with three levels of comedy.

A successful comedy should not only make the audience laugh, but also pay attention to the subtle layering. There is only one layer of jokes, which can only be called jokes; Two layers of jokes began to taste like comedy; The Moon Man has three layers, and it also captures the delicate texture of life.

On the first floor, the comic effect was amplified by borrowing lines. In the first famous scene, watching the rocket launch, Shen Teng roared loudly: "The ground was dragged clean, but I was left behind?" The camera was aimed at the drifting companion and disappeared into the dark night sky. Shen Teng at this time, show the appearance of embarrassment. Later, watching the earth being hit by an asteroid, I left a sentence helplessly: "The good news is that I am still alive, and the bad news is that I am still alive after the destruction of the earth." The whole movie deliberately played down the jokes from the beginning, for fear of poking the audience's jokes at once and then laughing.

The second level is often a pun and polysemy. Facing the arduous task of returning to Earth, Du Guyue asked himself confidently: "Can I be stumped by returning to Earth?" As a result, I immediately hit my face in the next second and "fell" with the maintenance ladder. An "inverted" has two meanings and a flavor of life. That is what we often say: "The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny!"

The third layer, expand the theme and values. The biggest difference between comedy and farce is that it seems absurd, but it has profound practical significance. In The Moon Man, an ordinary nobody, Du Like Gu Yue, acted as the main joke. But as the plot progresses, you will find that there is a big shadow behind him.
