Di Renjie's gimmick: the battle of single-celled animals

Kenyon 2022-04-19 09:02:44

Chen Zhen has a very classic line: "I'm illiterate, don't lie to me." The simple character and sincere trust in this sentence will make any conscientious person unavoidably moved. . It's just that he may not understand that in terms of trust, luck is more important than culture. It's no wonder, at least no one in his era wanted to toss Di Renjie. Ordinary people can't do it. Even if they know the text and hyphenate, once they encounter a gimmick, the nose that will be fooled is not the nose, the eye, or the eye.

To put it succinctly, Babel Gimmick tells the story of a group of single-celled animals with unique skills fighting their wits and bravery. The reason is that Empress Wu is about to ascend the throne, and she wants to build a giant sculpture for display. This sculpture is not only amazing in size, but also the location is very unpredictable ------ the sculpture falls down just enough to smash itself (as far as I know, a similar institution is not allowed to exceed the height of its own house within a few meters around it. Building) ----- It can be seen how brave this heroine is beyond the times. Even if this kind of thing is put into the celestial dynasty that shakes ancient and modern times with tofu slag projects, few people can do it.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened, and two officials were burned to death in front of the public, so the queen couldn't sit still, so she let Di Renjie come to investigate the case (during the period, except for the unreasonable violence of Pei Donglai from the Ministry of Punishment and even let him People think it's a bit of a satire of the past, and it's still normal for movies to come here). This Di Renjie really is very skilled, a group of single cells was so willingly taken by him, and the collective went downhill with shaking heads, laughter and tears.

The story is no longer wordy, and it is estimated that everyone has been fooled. Let’s just talk about the characters in the play.

First of all, let’s talk about the single-celled animal Shatuo. Shan Sha’s personality can be used as a sample in a mental hospital. On the one hand, he wants to prevent Di Renjie from investigating the case or even get rid of him, on the other hand, he provides him with a guideline, so he goes to the imperial doctor ; On the one hand, he set up an ambush early to hijack the imperial doctor or silence him, on the other hand, he had to wait for the Di people to arrive before starting. On the one hand, he designed to capture Pei, but he carried out the ultimate care very humanely, giving him the opportunity to tell the truth to Di Renjie, and he didn't even search Pei's belongings (it seems that it will be a bad thing to be a clean official if you are used to it. of). On the one hand, he endured humiliation for many years in order to become a major rebellion, but on the other hand, he chose an absurd and unbelievable signal. He is ruthless, but his IQ is unstable (where he takes the lead and sets fire to himself everywhere). . . When I saw that he finally told Di Renjie that because the lord did not agree to kill you, so when I killed the lord, I couldn't help but my heart was surging: This kind of impulsive dizzy egg that's torn apart really turns around everywhere. . .

Besides Di Renjie, compared to Junior Brother Sha, he basically does not exist, he is completely the screenwriter's puppet, and the screenwriter didn't really give him any brains (maybe the screenwriter himself felt bad about it, so let him and Shangguan Shanzhai have a hawthorn tree as compensation), just fishing He seemed to keep throwing earthworms at him. First, he threw a golden tortoise through Junior Brother Sha, and then he went up and threw an imperial doctor out of thin air. Then he stepped down and told Shangguan to hurry up and throw him a national teacher. The teacher said that you should throw a truth to him and say that the murderer is not you, and then told Shatuo that you will kill Pei Donglai later, and he still needs to throw the architectural design. As soon as it falls out, the work is over. Di Renjie was also obedient, and conscientiously pretended to be deep, and finally did not forget to say meaningfully that the world will not tolerate me. . . Nonsense, even the direction of the investigation is wrong. If the world is full of single cells like you, then the screenwriter is anti-human. . .

Shangguan doesn't need to say, the scenes of Wujiguan are basically nonsensical to the extreme. When Di Renjie was played, everything in the camera said that he ran away from there. Let everyone become a chicken and a dog. Even if you don't say how bad it is to damage your authority in front of the three armies, if you have the ability, you can give me a "over there" shot and let me see what this green channel looks like. Later, the two triumphantly revealed to each other the old bottom that we have known for a long time in Wujiguan, and they also fought inexplicably. Even if you are afraid of exposing the truth of the Queen's purge of the party, it is definitely not the only way to kill people (not to mention when it is still employing people)? Di Renjie is exhausted if your national teacher doesn't show up. . . The humorous thing is that the master who was originally a master of listening to wind discrimination weapons was finally beaten into honeycomb by an Orion-level organization. There is no way, the screenwriter's mind is empty, and the national teacher has to die on the mousetrap. No matter how good the kung fu is, it will fall in one stroke. Since I don't know how to convince the audience that you are telling the truth, I have to let you die bluntly. Anyway, so many people who are damned or not have died, and it is not bad for you. . .

As for the albino Pei Donglai, I have to praise him. Although he was impulsive and violent, the most important evidence was conjectured and discovered by others. Recalling that at the beginning, he was about to wipe Shatuo's neck without any basis, and he couldn't help but admire it even more. The patient's intuition was good. . . Stealing the limelight of the protagonist to this point, even if you die, it will be worth your life. . .

Bizarre murders, serial occurrences, conspiracy of providence, indistinguishable from human beings and demons, for thousands of years, the number one detective. . . After watching it, I suspected that the person who wrote the lyrics for the trailer was probably a wonton seller, and the gimmick was like pepper noodles. You can afford the word "unseen in thousands of years" except in the press release that the government can't handle natural and man-made disasters. The result was just a few people rushing to the set, and the analysis of the case basically didn’t require brains, relying on knives. Want to know who the murderer is? Don’t worry, I will kill them one by one for you to see. Tuo also said with a convincing look on his face, "The reasoning is smashed into the inside, I really deserve to be a detective..." When I was ashamed and almost vomited, it's a pity Pei Donglai, you died early). The most irritating thing is that in the end, I stopped killing when I saw the addiction, so I didn't see what it would be like to turn Kyoto into a cemetery. Don't you know that giving up the horse halfway is the most annoying. . . As for the plot arrangement, the environment background, the characters. . . That's all clouds. . .

But objectively speaking, the gains are still there. From the film's simple characters, closed environment, naive case, chaotic logic, brutal methods, and Mongolian screenwriter, I was surprised to feel an old acquaintance. After I came back, I tried to find some information and got to the bottom of the situation. It turned out that all this came from the editor who regarded "kill everybody" as the golden finger for solving cases. In desperation, I also feel embarrassed that I once blamed a certain director for the same problem. What an unbelievable adventure it is to watch a movie to clear up someone's grievance.

It was not until I saw an exclusive interview titled "We are missing a lot of single cells" in the Southern Metropolis Daily that my heart suddenly became clear. It turned out that if such a script was made by normal people, it would definitely be despised, but if it was made by an amoeba, it would have to be strongly supported and protected, and even money and energy would have to be ruined. Thinking of this, I can't help but be convinced by Nandu's foresight and insight. I hope that Nandu can boldly hire some reporters who are good at appreciating movies from the perspective of zoology, botany and even geology, so as to bring our film market back to the level of ancient times as soon as possible. By then, we will have no shortage of such filmmakers, and of course we will no longer need to see any movies.

ps: Although Tsui Hark is my favorite director, this time, for whatever reason, he is a little irresponsible for his name.
