《吉祥如意》 / The Reunions

Overview

《吉祥如意》 is represented as 大鹏’s family-based experimental film, where a planned test of authorship and audience framing was overtaken by an actual family death during production.

Current Profile

The project began with rural, dialect, short-film, and audience-label experiments and used one crew to film a story while another filmed the making of that story. Dapeng’s grandmother’s fatal accident changed the evidentiary and emotional status of the material, leaving the completed work both artistically important and personally difficult to revisit.

Key Characteristics

• Hybrid construction combining a filmed family story with observation of its production.
• Experiment in how prestige labels influence audience interpretation.
• Work transformed by an unplanned death that exceeded the original formal design.

Evidence

• Formal design - 导演大鹏×罗永浩！我这两辈子 describes two crews and the later formation of the paired sections 《吉祥》 and 《如意》.
• Audience framing - 导演大鹏×罗永浩！我这两辈子 describes a planned comparison between “master’s new work” and “student short” labels for the same material.
• Family rupture - 导演大鹏×罗永浩！我这两辈子 says Dapeng’s grandmother fell and died during the shoot, changing the project and its later emotional accessibility.
