"The acting skills of rural uncles and aunts have become more popular in the entertainment industry. Isn't this much better than the group of 2.08 million?!"
Last night (18th), a comedy short film starring rural uncles and aunts on Weibo became popular, and the popular comments were all like this.

Warmth, suspense, reversal, hardcore... What kind of story is this that makes the audience so happy?

World Famous Painting
The story takes place in a quiet and peaceful village. Granddaughter Meimei recently came to the home of grandma Goose Sister and grandfather Sanpao spent the summer vacation. Sanpao was mainly responsible for the study of children. Sister Goose took care of the family's food, clothing and expenses, and played cards with the younger sisters. Although I feel upset occasionally, my life is quite enjoyable.
However, one day, the peaceful life of the family was broken and the granddaughter was kidnapped by criminals. As a result, a long-closed secret was revealed. It turned out that Sister E and Sanpao were both "agents" before, and they have concealed each other to this day and retired to the countryside as ordinary people. Sister Goose’s sisters were also members of the “agents” who retired together and each formed a family.
In order to save the young granddaughter, these "veterans" who have lived a peaceful life have returned to the world after ideological struggles.

Under the framework of hardcore stimulation, the rural life of Sister E and Sanpao is down-to-earth and full of fireworks. "The killers rooted in the village are surrounded by firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea every day."

The protagonist's family is a typical "strong woman, weak man". No matter how cold-blooded and ruthless the killer is, he is also a afraid wife. This is what Sanpao is talking about.
is an English tutoring to my granddaughter, but in fact, I take the opportunity to play computer games. He was interrupted by Sister E who was repeatedly "checked", but Sanpao dared not speak out, so he could only teach his granddaughter English to "point and scold the poor".
——Grandpa, what does get out mean?
——Get out… means.
This wave is called "I scolded, but I didn't seem to scold."

When Sister Go left, the grandfather and grandson returned to the computer to play games.
But is Sister Goose so easy to fool? Jiang was still a sexy wife, so she turned around and took the keyboard away.

The three shots were stopped now. Sister Goose went further and whistled a few times, implying that her wife had something to explain.
is just like whistling and shaking his head to indicate that he is like the elders in the family who avoid the juniors discussing things?

Sister Goose is going to play mahjong with her sisters. Before leaving, she gave Sanpao some money to buy groceries and cook.
Like the majority of compatriots who "wife is strict in control", in order to cheat some pocket money, some relatives and friends must be "inflicted". Sanpao used the trick of "using uncle for salary": Sanpao fell down recently and his children were not around, so I bought two plasters to see him...

successfully cheated money, Sanpao did not forget to make a fake certificate, and took an empty plaster box to take a photo with Sanpao.
clips vividly express the image of Sanpao’s fear of his wife.

But Sanpao is really so cowardly for the rest of his life? If you were wrong, it was all the concessions made by Sanpaoai's family. He really thought that his family was in danger and rushed out the first time.
cheated him into pocket money and went out to show off for a while. After he came back, he found that his granddaughter had been kidnapped. Sanpao took out a pistol from the tricycle and chatted with the robber quietly. He killed the robber when the other party saw that he was an ordinary man relaxed his guard.
From the second uncle at the entrance of the village to the cold-blooded killer, his eyes changed so much!

failed a plan, and the villain later sent a killer to tie the person up, but Sanpao made a mistake this time, got shot and was injured, and was rescued by Sister Go.
Wake up and see Sister E and her sisters. Sanpao confessed his identity and persuaded Sister E to leave quickly with her granddaughter, leaving one million under their third uncle's bed.

Sister Goose doesn't listen to him because she is not a "good guy". Sister Goose is an agent with more qualifications than him. She only lives in seclusion in the village with the younger sisters after retirement. Under normal life, there is an undercurrent, not a secret protection from Sister E., and Sanpao had long been silenced by his enemies.
used all the "brutal" methods to interrogate the killer, and Sister Goose and her party learned about the other party's purpose.
This site, this filter, and this acting skills, who doesn’t say “Hong Kong film revival”!

The villain will definitely not give up, but about the comeback, several young ladies are confused:
One has to take care of the daughter-in-law who has just given birth, and the other has to take care of the husband who is in poor health... The family ties have made them unable to fight on the front line without hesitation.

Sister Goose didn't force herself and decided to fight alone. Before the war, she explained her funeral to the sisters and allocated resources.
During the preparations, the remaining three people looked at the photo of the four former sisters and fell into nostalgia and hesitation.

On the day Sister Goose was preparing for the battle, what surprised her was that the three sisters all came to her house to gather.
It turns out that the sisters were living a uncomfortable life, and every day they were all about their husbands’ indifference and their children’s boredom. They decided to pick up the gun again and live a good life for themselves.
Accompanied by the iconic BGM of " Heroes ", this picture of "sisters united" is so igniting!

But by counting this way, the combat effectiveness of Sister Goose's team is still inferior to that of the opponent.
Just when he was at a loss, a figure appeared and his chin dropped. My third uncle came with two machine guns.
It turns out that the big guy who is hidden the deepest is the third uncle!

The more bleak life is, the more exciting the years are. Who else hasn't been ignorant of these two scenes?

In just 25 minutes, it not only tells a story clearly, but also has both interesting and suspense. The whole film is ups and downs. It seems that the whole story is full of nonsensical settings, but various details are "real in the world". The combination of agent elements and rural themes is not inconsistent, creating a new type of film - "Rural Elderly Agents":
Agents are no longer a cold-blooded representative, and they will curse when playing poker players are smelly;

Three guns to save their granddaughter and shoot snipers to rob the robbers, in order to prevent the reflective watch from wearing the watch back;

When the war is approaching, Sister Goose and the sisters explain their funeral, and they allocate the venue of the square dance team;

Mercenaries from Africa have turned back and forth in the huge underground parking lot for 800 times, but they can't find the exit.

If you look closely, the third uncle's identity has long been foreshadowed.
The third uncle has always been an old man who is old and weak and sickly, and has no idea about his mind. However, when his granddaughter was robbed for the first time, he pretended to be dementia and blocked the road, waiting for the three shots to save people. Moreover, all kinds of weapons have always been "hiding" around him, and his third uncle's identity is definitely not as simple as an old man with dementia.
"Details Strange" audience feels comfortable!


"Unbelievable, you will see the humor of Stephen Chow in a rural poem, the position of Johnnie To , and the heroic spirit of Johnny Wu !"

This video is called "Women's Vengeance: The gun is in hand, follow the goose!" As early as last Friday (13th), when B station was first released, with a total of 7 million views and nearly 100,000 barrages, the second place in the entire site ranking that day. Almost all the popular comments in the comment area are "The acting skills of these rural old men and aunts are so great that most of the entertainment industry", "Some big directors never thought that a group of rural old men and aunts could shoot videos that people like in their lifetime", "Isn't this much better than a junk movie with a movie ticket of 30 yuan?" This shows how high the netizens' comments are.

viewers who often watch short videos are familiar with the video director @director Xiaoce (real name Zhang Ce). He was the screenwriter and director of "Zhu Yi's Boring Life" and "Serious C Block 802".
In October last year, he bid farewell to the popular IP " Zhu Yi ". Zhang Ce, who set out again, created a hot hit "Place Past" at the beginning of this year, aiming the camera at the rural stories of a group of Zibo aunts, with Goose Sister "Liu Daege" as the protagonist, forming the "Big Goose Universe".
Therefore, he also decided to be a "second-rate director in third-tier cities" and find a good story in Zibo's world.

picture from @director Zhang Xiaoce The same below
videos are actually all amateurs: the four aunts originally sang Lu Opera together, and their tacit understanding, performance and line skills are all good. In the script, their names are very down-to-earth, "Big Goose", "Cao Ling", and "Erhua", one is responsible for domineering, one is responsible for beauty, and the other is responsible for instigation.

The old man who plays the "Three Cannons" has a honest and round face, tilted his head when speaking, and occasionally rolled his tongue to make a "showy" sound, which brings the humor of Northeast comedy. After retirement, he sent small advertisements on the streets of Zibo to subsidize his life, and was later discovered to play several aunts.

is different from "Zhu Yi's Boring Life", when Zhang Ce was filming "Past of the Square", he gradually explored a new model - borrowing the structure or clips of classic movies, adding new ideas, and combining them with the customs and customs of Zibo.
For example, in a video, several aunts compete for the square dance territory. Chuck thought of the movie " Black Gold ". In the most classic scene of the original film, a group of gangsters in suits and ties were cooking tea while negotiating the division of land. "Who agrees, who opposes?" Someone objected, and Tony Leung slapped the man to the ground.

In "Place Past", a group of Zibo aunties bite green onions and cook noodles and split into square dance venues, saying in Zibo dialect, "Who agrees, who opposes?" Sister E also waved her hand to the objector.

This time, the popular "Women's Enemy" can also be seen many shadows from Hong Kong movies:
Sister Goose gives pocket money to Sanpao;

uses the meme of Li Zixiong "Tan Cheng" giving money to the down-and-out Zhou Runfa " Xiao Ma Ge " in "Heroics".

And the group photo of the four sisters as agents when they were young was stills from the Hong Kong film " Naked Agent ".


These local stories interpreted by ordinary old men and mothers quickly attracted traffic. Some fans commented that "the classic scenes are arranged on the old men and mothers, creating a sense of contrast between local culture and high spirits, and bringing humor and absurdity."
But more importantly, although the actors are all amateurs, although the costumes and props are very simple, and although the special effects are also 50 cents, the audience finally sees a down-to-earth Chinese story that is close to ordinary people and has the spiritual core of the Chinese.
