Li Dayong's girlfriend Dai Fang is a radio host. She once met Mr. Qin, the boss of an entertainment company, in a program interview. Qinzong thought Dai Fang could become a star, so he signed a contract with Dai Fang. However, when Li Dayong opposed Dai Fang becoming an artist, the contradiction between them appeared. Driven by vanity, it is difficult for Dai Fang to give up the role of an artist. In order to get Dai Fang to star in a movie, Mr. Qin secretly filmed everything about the director's indecent assault on Dai Fang and threatened to succeed. Will this memory card become a time bomb? Has the relationship between Li Dayong and Dai Fang changed because Dai Fang is an artist? Did Li Dayong finally take a photo of Faye Wong? Did Chen Xiaoqing finally get Faye Wong's autograph? Everyone has a wish, no matter how big it is, in fact, the process of getting it is full of variables.
"You are really cruel" tries to explore some phenomena in the entertainment circle, which are exactly what the entertainment circle can't express with film and television, because no one will insert a knife into his own flesh to get self-salvation. The film observes and judges the vanity fair phenomenon in today's entertainment circle from the perspective of the media. What kind of relationship should the entertainment circle, the media and the public maintain? Perhaps only by maintaining the food chain relationship can we get a better living environment for each other.
In this film, Wang Xiaofeng gives a personality to the work of paparazzi, which is called "national voyeurism". The leading actor Li Dayong is a professional paparazzi. He is very dedicated and sacrificed a lot for his work. According to his own opinion, his job is also to serve the people, and it really serves the people. You think, "officials have mistresses, rich people have mistresses, and the rest of us ordinary people don't even let us see a photo!" (Li Dayong's original words) ". Therefore, in order to meet the people's lack of spiritual needs, he, Li Dayong, resolutely chose the sacred cause of "paparazzi". Although he took great risks, he did not regret it in the end. Among them, the touching plot that best reflects Li Dayong's unparalleled professionalism appears at the beginning of the film: he was unfortunately found out because he secretly took a photo of Zhang Mingxing. As for being chased by a star bodyguard, he became smart at a critical moment and changed the chip in the camera during his escape. In this way, although he was badly beaten, he finally saved a photo of Zhang Zhengui. What's more commendable is that he didn't stop working when he was hospitalized due to injury, but waited for an opportunity to capture photos of Faye Wong, who was also in labor in the hospital. He is so selfless and dedicated to others, and such a spirit of serving the people wholeheartedly is worth learning!
The profound significance of this story lies not in showing a great man's lofty sense of responsibility for his work, but in exposing a tragedy. The ending of the film is like this: Li Dayong's naive lover is not willing to live an ordinary life, but also wants to be a star actor. She finally didn't resist the temptation of vanity and finally threw herself into the arms of the manager of the film and television company. This case once again vividly shows the victory of capital over love, and fully shows the all-round oppression of the proletariat by capitalists. However, what is shocking is that when Dayong and his girlfriend broke up peacefully and the woman was about to get into her new boyfriend's dazzling red car, he actually raised his weapon-the camera was aimed at her. It's really sad for paparazzi to do this. ...
But there is another interpretation in the last scene of the story, that is, the last thing Dayong did for his ex-girlfriend. I believe he didn't send it out of paparazzi's psychology, but out of love, no matter whether this love will exist in the future. On the other hand, it shows that sad people also have loveliness.
