Although it was written as the lead star Gong Li at the beginning, I always felt that this movie should be a dual-leader. Because Song Lian's tragedy is closely tied to Mei Shan, the fuse of Song Lian's madness is also Mei Shan's death (it may also be that He Saifei is too much to steal the spotlight |||))
The lyrics and verses quoted in the film are highlights, used to implicitly suggest that the plot drives the plot and adds to the atmosphere. Great idea, even if it's deliberately a little ingenious. The interspersed lyrics are so important, it can be seen that the director has a preference for the role of Mei Shan!
The most regrettable thing is that if it weren't for the people in the pit of Peking Opera, it would be difficult for them to appreciate the director's good intentions, and after all, there are very few people who are deeply involved in the pit of Peking Opera.
The first section is about hanging lanterns in Songlian's house. Mei Shan is jealous and angry, and deliberately quarrels with others to go to the courtyard to sing a play early in the morning. She sings "the most pitiful red tears stealing bullets" from "Matchmaker". I don't think this paragraph is meaningful, but I'm very, very upset and jealous... I always think that Zou's Sichun from "Zhan Wancheng" is probably more suitable here (you calm down...)
Seeing that the young lady made many flaws, she used eloquent and flowery words to matchmaker. Originally, it was the demeanor of everyone in the Qianjin body, and the most pitiful person was carrying red tears and stealing bullets. There are countless twilights and blues in the hopeful period, and there is also an infatuated species who forgets to eat and sleep. It's not that I am willing to pass on books and briefs, and I don't envy immortals when a lover gets married.
The second paragraph is that the master went to Mei Shan's house, Song Lian was not happy, and when she was walking outside, she heard Mei Shan singing in their house. "The Matchmaker's Name is Zhang Sheng" and "Women Qi Jie", I feel that the "calling Zhang Sheng" here is simply to please the master to sing an ambiguous man and woman unhealthy joke. What can be considered a romantic story is also very suitable for the environment at that time. As for Su San's solution, the first possibility is that the master doesn't know the drama, so he just shouts about the most famous one, and he can probably tell this; the second possibility is that Su San is a female prisoner who was wrongly accused, and his situation is similar to that of them. The auntie in the compound is no different. Thinking about it again, Su San deeply loved the son, but was forced to marry Shen Yanlin as his concubine. Maybe it was coincidental that Mei Shan was the third wife of the Chen family but had an affair with Dr. Gao?
Ask Zhang Sheng to hide under the chessboard, and I will come to you step by step. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this thing makes me feel numb. It can be regarded as a romantic story, listen to the order and don't disturb her.
Su San left Hongdong County and came to the street. I have never opened my mouth and my heart is bleak. The gentleman of the past listened to me. Which one will go to Nanjing and pass the letter with my Saburo. Saying that Su San was wronged, in the next life I will be a dog to repay.
The third segment is when playing mahjong, Dr. Gao played the album "Royal Tablet Pavilion" recorded by Mei Shan when she was popular. Although Meng Yuehua is innocent in the play, it is absolutely clear here that Mei Shan and Dr. Gao have an affair. It also hinted at Mei Shan's tragic fate after her adultery was broken - Meng Yuehua was abandoned and Mei Shan was killed. Without analyzing the lyrics, this passage is also very embarrassing - listening to the play I sang at that time, recalling the full house at that time, the scenery is infinite. She was the most popular in the troupe back then! "Wu Ling is a young man fighting for his head, and a red silk is uncountable. The silver grate on the head of the tin is broken, and the blood-colored skirt is turned over by the wine." Good dreams are easy to wake up, and this is the sadness of the Pipa girl.
When I saw the divorce book, it was like a knife twisted, just for the night when I returned home. Traveling to the middle of the storm, the stele pavilion shelters from the rain and brings disaster to the seedlings. Another year came over there, and the hatchback sat silently all night. My innocence is guaranteed, my mother!
Song Lian was falsely pregnant, but her menstrual blood was discovered by Yan'er and told her second wife, Zhuo Yun, that Zhuo Yun wanted to inform the master that at that time the master was listening to the young master's endorsement that it was Ouyang Xiu's Thrush. Needless to say, it was very clear that the few women in the courtyard were nothing more than thrushes.
Hundreds and thousands of voices move at will, and the mountain flowers are red and purple trees are high and low.
Shi Zhisuo listened to the golden cage, not as good as the free cry in the forest.
In the fourth paragraph of "Peach Blossom Village", Songlian pretends to be pregnant and is punished when she sees Meishan singing in the early morning (it's early in the morning again, the good third wife likes to disturb the people the most). This is Mei Shan admonishing Song Lian to "be careful not to be frivolous". Here, these two poor people suddenly have a sympathy for each other. Song Lian is not yet twenty years old, and she is rampant. Because her fake pregnancy was leaked by Yan'er, she began to get angry with Yan'er. How could she be the opponent of the cunning and cunning Zhuo Yun! What she thought was killing chickens as an example, turned out to be inhumane and injustice, but Zhuo Yun was not affected at all. This dialogue is also a classic.
Mei Shan: "If you do a good show, you can deceive others; if you don't do well, you can only deceive yourself; when you can't deceive yourself, you can only deceive ghosts."
Song Lian: "Humans are just one breath away from ghosts. Humans are ghosts, and ghosts are humans!"
And "I just don't understand, what are people in this courtyard? They look like dogs, cats, mice, but they just don't look like people!"
It wasn't me who told me to tell you what to say, it's just that you were in a daze and panicked. Tonight, Phibina will be waiting for the moon in the west wing, so be careful and don't be frivolous. The relationship between you and the mandarin ducks in adversity will always live in the pond. It's already a wave of wrong love, how can you be careless and absurd. The second drum beat was on time, and there was no hesitation at the entrance of Taohua Village. You don't shout or shout, you have to look around and listen in all directions.
The last part is tear-jerking. After Mei Shan's death, Song Lian went to Mei Shan's house to light up the lights and put on the record player. It was also the play "The Imperial Tablet Pavilion". Intercepted the play of Dan angle. In fact, the ending of this play is a big reunion! Originally in the play, Wang Youdao knelt on the ground and begged his wife for forgiveness. Meng Yuehua's accusation could only be regarded as coquettish, but in the movie, it was a complete accusation. The following "unpredictable wind and rain" was repeated several times, making people cry immediately.
Since childhood, his parents were spoiled and raised, and Yingying married Wang Chang on fifteenth. Since you don't think about reading poetry and books, the slaves are catkins and will follow the wind. The wind and rain are unpredictable, why should the dark room be full of sunshine and moonlight? Conspiracy plots and conscience are lost, and the divorce book is like a killing field. Touch your chest and think about it, the unrighteous Wang Kui is better than you!
Here's the rant time:
He Saifei is obviously a Yue Opera actor, why do you force people to sing Peking Opera? ! Can't you sing Yue Opera? The "matchmaker" in this is really the most unflavored matchmaker I've ever heard of...
In the movie, every wife's house decoration is related to her identity and character, which is well received. For example, there are many paintings and calligraphy in Songlian's house, which is in line with her status as a foreign student of culture. But why are there so many face masks in Mei Shan's house! ! I understand what the director meant to say that she was singing! But why do people have to put on a face when they sing a role! At first glance, I thought this girl was a Kunjing... Hualian Huadan has a flowery character anyway? Brain hole: Mei Shan sings a dirty face, the master came to her room to listen to the song, she sang "Good slave~~~~! Seeing Luo Cheng bit my teeth, she cursed the shameless little slave!" But that's not good, it ruins the atmosphere. Or the unhealthy drama of men and women is more suitable...
