But the movie has completely reversed the netizens' initial perception.
"Clumsy but sincere, stupid but touching," "The comedy label doesn't lie, the kernel has depth and hits the human nature," "The black humor is played to the fullest," "Getting solid" ...... Such chants represent the audience that appreciated the satirical corporate comedy movie's Roc affirmation.

The story is simple, but the theme is focused and the story is smooth
The centerpiece of the story of "Keeping You Safe" is the line, "Open your mouth to make a rumor, break your legs to dispel it! ".
As a cemetery salesman, Wei Pingan (played by Dapeng) has reached middle age, but his career is a flop. Even his wife has become an ex-wife. To his daughter, he is also unreliable.
But is one of those people who later surprise people.
To clear up rumors for his late client Han Lu (Song Xi), he went through ups and downs and even got himself caught up in cyber violence, but he never rested and eventually restored the truth to the public.

As a director, Roc tells the story smoothly and naturally, with tears amidst the laughter.
From the phone call Wei Pingan receives during his daughter's campus performance, to the rumor that Han Lu is about to face "forced eviction," to the source of the rumor "calling back," until he finds the culprit.
In this process, different characters appear one after another. Pet store owners, haunted house employees, square dance aunts, retired bosses, private business owners, corporate clerks, lie maker "Mr. Perfect 421" and so on, in the form of "labeling" composed of a complete "social". "

While it may seem like there are a lot of characters on stage.
But Roc's cleverness lies in the fact that he always focuses on Wei Pingan and Han Lu, one bright and one dark. It's a "big break".
Moved or sad or happy, because of the previous padding, all the emotions become self-evident.
There are enough jokes without being awkward, and Li Xueqin plays them well
The best comedies often have a sad core.
"Keep You Safe"'s presentation of the "core of grief" is apt and profound. And Roc's comic caper for this story is at a masterfully crafted level. After the "mixture of sadness and joy", the whole story is, as netizens say, like "a hell of a joke written for reality", dark and absurd, especially the motive of rumor-mongering at the end, which is satirical to the extreme.

The most gripping part of the movie is the part about the haunted house, in terms of comedy alone.
Wei Pingan tracks down the source of the rumor and discovers that it was passed on by his sister Wei Ruyi (Li Xueqin), and in a fit of pique, he heads to the haunted house where she works to find her.
The scene combines elements of horror and comedy.
Wei Pingan, who is familiar with the staff and knows the setup of the venue like the back of his hand, is calm and cool throughout the whole process, inexplicably "superior", in stark and interesting contrast to the few players who have their hearts in their mouths.
Li Xueqin, who is well known to netizens for her stand-up comedy, also showed her expressive power on the big screen with a very "natural" performance. Her performance is relaxed, delicate and lively, without the stiffness and rigidity of a "newcomer".

If the haunted house scene is "exaggerated and funny", then Wei Pingan's "duel" with Jin Boss is "punchline reality". The "punchline reality" style.
The plot of queuing up with a number, communicating with a microphone, and ending the conversation with a one-sided "domination" should make it easy for most people to understand the essence of Roots.

Small props with great care, the details are really heartfelt
The attention to detail is another highlight of "Keep You Safe".
From Wei Pingan's appearance to the important props to the setting of the character's name, there are deep meanings.
From his appearance to the end, Wei Pingan always has green hair and wears a green hat in the center. Coupled with his current husband, whom he refers to as his ex-wife, the reason for their divorce is not as simple as he makes it out to be in the movie.
And, if you look at the portrait of Guan Gong in his car, injured and jailed in front of his brother, sprayed red in the face by a pet store owner, that green hair seems to be otherwise a metaphor for his character - the green hero, who sees the road and does the right thing.

Yin Zheng as the pet store owner, the colorful spray in his hand, the white rabbit in the store, and the phrase "apologize to the white rabbit", all highlight his identity.

Wei Pingan bought a bouquet of Kitty flowers when he went to see his daughter perform. After the unsuccessful delivery, he placed the bouquet in front of Han Lu's tombstone. When he later moved Han Lu's grave, the bouquet fell on the grass and Kitty was trampled.
And the cartoon cat from Japan was dubbed "the cat with no mouth" on the Internet - Hanlu is dead, and she can no longer respond to the smears and rumors.
Another connection to Hanlu is the white horse that appears twice in the movie.
In ancient Chinese culture, the white horse symbolizes sanctity and purity. Its significance as the embodiment of Han Lu is self-evident.

And then there's the rumor-monger "Mr. Perfect 421". The number "421" itself is a reference to celebrity gossip circulating on the Internet. When it becomes the name of a rumor-monger in a movie, it can be considered synonymous with rumors.
The setting and use of these details and props play a role in characterization and plot development.
A good movie should be entertaining, but it should also have an "exciting sense of reality.
Dapeng once admitted in an interview that the reason why he wanted to shoot "Keep You Safe" is because the incident of "the girl picking up the courier, rumors spread" moved him to believe that, as a cultural creator, he has the responsibility to pay attention to the expenditure on social issues.

In the age of the Internet, chaos is commonplace.
There will be rumors of picking up a courier, rumors of dyeing your hair, rumors of taking pictures with relatives. The "keyboard warrior" hides behind the Internet and can ruin a person's life with the maliciousness that spreads when he makes up a random sentence or vents when he's in a bad mood.
All of us can be victims of the "keyboard warrior".
In the movie, Han Lu became innocent because of Wei Pingan's efforts. What about in reality?
I hope the world will be more kind.
Even if you can't be Wei Pingan, don't be "421".
