Actually I just want to act

Chapter 1374

When the filming of "Nine Pins of Sesame Official: White Bread and Blue Sky" started, everyone thought that Fang Jiming had changed his style.

But in fact, Fang Jiming just put the part of the abuser at the beginning.

Let's put it this way, Stephen Chow's movies generally have relatively mild abusers, unlike Johnnie To's "Jigong", where the abuser is so abused that the audience almost thinks they can't win.This is definitely a taboo in popcorn-level movies.

Why do you say that?
It's very simple. The preference of most normal people is to watch relaxing and pleasant movies, and having a good time is everyone's pursuit.This is also the reason why horror movies and other movies are niche movies. If you don’t have any special hobbies, you really can’t like them. It’s not that you are just looking for abuse.As for the film and television dramas of the abuser, except for the TV series of Aunt Yao, few of them are really popular.

Only relaxed and pleasant movies and TV series can be liked by the whole people.This is determined by human physiology, but it is also the hardest thing to do - being funny is the hardest thing in the world.After all, everyone has a different point of laughter, how can everyone like it?This is too much of a test of skill.

According to Guo Degang, there are a few in a performance who like to listen to elegant cross talk, and he can also speak, and he can speak all of them in classical Chinese.But after this show was over, no one would come to his next show, and he would starve to death.Therefore, this cross talk is an art of the street market, and it is so elegant that no one will see it.It is unwise to offend a group of viewers for the sake of a few viewers.

Fang Jiming's filmmaking is also based on this philosophy. Only by popularizing art can he make money.

Why do you need to make money?
It's very simple, Fang Jiming's crew has more than one hundred people, not counting as extras.

It doesn't make money, so these more than 100 people are going to drink the northwest wind?

Not to mention, there are still so many employees in Oriental DreamWorks, all pointing at the movies to sell tickets for dinner.If you don’t engage in popular art, you engage in elegant art, isn’t that enough to feed you?
Therefore, the abuser can have, create a gap, and create a comedy atmosphere.

However, the abuser has been looking for abuse.

The reason why "Jigong" did not do well at the box office is that it was too cruel, both parents died, and in the end the main character had no bones left.In this kind of movie, Stephen Chow acted well even if he was not on the street!

Or how to put it, there is such a big gap between "Ji Gong" featuring Johnnie To and "The Judge" featuring Zhou Xingchi!
A little more abuse, it is the sublimation theme.Being abused all the time is just making yourself unhappy.Not to mention the box office, Fang Jiming might be on the street.

Why do you say that?
It's very simple, just watch the movies directed by Stephen Chow.

"Shaolin Soccer" became famous in the first battle, which is not bad. "Kung Fu" is already at its peak. Although Stephen Chow's last movie "Yangtze River No. [-]" didn't do well at the box office, its reputation is still good.However, in addition to "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons", including "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "The Mermaid", and "The New King of Comedy", the reputation of the director has collapsed.

Even "The Mermaid", which has a box office of more than 33 billion, has a poor reputation.

Although "Yangtze River No. [-]" has a good reputation, it is a abuser after all.Therefore, the box office is really average.Like all comedians, Zhou Xingchi, after getting old, can no longer play nonsense, and can't let go of his body to be funny without a bottom line, so his box office performance is very average.

Not to mention "The New King of Comedy", "The Mermaid" can still be said to be a sincere work, "Journey to the West" is not directed by myself, but "The New King of Comedy" did make Zhou Xingchi fall from the altar.Not only abuse the master, but also work hard for illusory ideals, which really seems to be ironic.

Fang Jiming would rather think that the heroine died in a car accident on the way to deliver food, and everything that followed was her dying fantasy.Otherwise, the whole movie would be too sadistic and fragmented - the values ​​promoted are so dreamy!In reality, besides Wang Baoqiang, who else is the group performer?

Without professional skills, a professional job is not secure.

Therefore, the abuse master clip in "Nine Pins of Sesame Official: White Bread and Blue Sky" is just to sublimate the theme, just to mention it.Even so, there are very funny episodes mixed in.

For example, Bao Longxing saw a man who was beaten half to death for eating Bawang meal on the road, and said stiffly: "How about it, have you never seen a person eating Bawang meal?"

You see, behind the bluff is the helplessness of life.

In order to eat food in one bite, people can be beaten all over the body and spit blood from the mouth and nose.

Although this was for the sake of foreshadowing, it also reflected a fact that in the late Qing Dynasty, even in Yanjing, there were many people who could not afford to eat.

Therefore, in order not to starve to death, Bao Longxing went to the brothel Fenglailou to eat the King's meal.

Is Bao Longxing not familiar with brothels?

No.

He just thinks it's not worthwhile to go to a restaurant to eat and be beaten to death.

Going to the brothel to eat the overlord's meal, there shouldn't be such a hidden worry, right?

But Bao Longxing did not expect that his "Blue Sky Cheats" was burned, and his last glimmer of hope was also shattered.So, he became a walking dead.

Behind the seemingly absurdity is actually the helplessness of the little people.

Especially after falling into the dust from a high place, from a person with a head and a face to a small person, this is definitely the best interpretation of the ups and downs.

This gap creates a comedy that seems funny, but is actually a tragedy.

In the environment of the late Qing Dynasty, everyone yearned for fairness and justice, but when someone pursued fairness and justice, they would be jointly suppressed.Does it look like a certain country today?Yes, very similar.By the way, the same is true in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.Once any country, any dynasty enters this state, there will be many problems, and it cannot be reversed without people with great ability, wisdom and courage.

This is why Bao Longxing finally chose to resign from office and sell medicine instead.This is the same reason that Lu Xun abandoned medicine to pursue literature. Bao Longxing felt that he could not save Qingqing by being an official, so he resigned.He would rather save some men than see the country fall.Therefore, Bao Longxing finally said to Wu Guangde: "With your wisdom, it is difficult for me to explain it to you!"

This sentence actually showed that Bao Longxing saw that Miqing was hopeless, so he retreated bravely in the end.

Only those who have experienced the abyss know how terrible the abyss is.

Take a look at Miqing, a country where the emperor goes to the brothel, a prince takes the emperor to the brothel, and even the assistant ministers go to the brothel, is there any help?
Since there is no rescue, Bao Longxing doesn't have that much ability, so he can only see it out of sight.

To start a business, at least one can support a family.

If it was in the management field, the fate of those corrupt managers might be the fate of Bao Longxing.Let's put it this way, in the management field, few people can escape unscathed.Although Bao Longxing doesn't have great wisdom, he can see through this point, so he can be regarded as a smart person.
