The play-within-a-play is a unique means of artistic expression in films, often seen in suspense films and comedies. This year's Spring Festival release "The Killer Is Not So Calm" used a lot of scenes within the scene to portray an actor's obsessive performance belief, bring a lot of laughter to the audience, and become the first box office dark horse in 2022. On February 26, the movie "Chengnan Old Street New Play", which also contains elements of a play-within-a-play, was released in theaters across the country. The film not only uses a play within a play to break the situation, but also integrates crime, action, comedy and other genre elements that audiences love to see. It also innovates an off-screen play and integrates the national intangible cultural heritage Lu Opera into it, allowing the audience to experience the traditional The charm of culture. It can be said that this is an ingenious work that can both make people laugh and empathize.
