"The King of Comedy" is an old-fashioned conversation. Only years later, the still picture with the subtitle "I will raise you" can still break the defense of the people in an instant.
When I was young, I only knew that I was smirking. Now I carefully examine Yin Tianchou's twists and turns in his life. The ups and downs are like arias, condensing countless frustrated twists and turns and human reality. Don't have a taste in my heart.
01 The dream of a dream
In this era, dreams are a bit hypocritical, but only after several failures can we understand the weight of this film.
At the beginning, Zhou Xingchi shouted "struggle, work hard" at the sea, and then the scene of the waves. At a young age, when we see the sentence "My journey is the sea of stars", we will feel excited. But after experiencing the many things in the world, knowing where the bottleneck is, seeing the undulating sea is really mixed.
On the set, Tianqiu won a role as cannon fodder. After being beaten to death by the protagonist, he actually stood up again. It is said that this incident was a real thing when Stephen Chow ran away, because this kind of performance that ordinary people find unreasonable also made Tianqi lost. Opportunity for dragons.
The denied Tianqiu returned to his residence lonely. The little figure sits alone on the single bed, behind which are posters of various famous actors, the fate is in sharp contrast at this moment.
Brilliant and dazzling success attracts us, but will those rays of light far greater than our lives sting us?
Tian Qiu didn't give up. He couldn't find a chance to play the game, so he went to play in a small theater, but no one appreciated it. But when his fate took a turn for the worse, and Yin Tianchou, who was appreciated by the nobleman, accidentally got the script of the hero, but it was a pity that he missed it.
A more true sentence than "If you don't work hard, you don't know how happy you are if you don't work hard".
And more terrifying than despair is being entrusted to the mountain by the brilliance of hope and then falling down.
How many people does success belong to? "Aspirations are not available, but life is like flowing" is the normal life .
The frustration caused by failure is often not like a thunderstorm, but a thumbtack in the heart. The pain will be like a ghost, dreaming back at midnight, at a certain moment of excitement or sadness, when the game is closed. In the emptiness, I remind you that it is not "life is nothing more than this", but "your life is nothing more than this".
Perseverance and perseverance are indeed good qualities, but in many cases, this does not lead to a good ending. The hard and wide ending of potato chips highlights the dreamy ending, which is quite harmonious with the atmosphere of the New Year film. However, the calm audience has long understood that the truth of life stops at the first scene.
Ending at the moment when the script of the hero of the enemy is taken away, at every moment when the little man has never been respected, at our chasing and running for the mirror flower, and at the situation where countless efforts have been denied, perhaps We will be trapped in a cycle of igniting hope and disillusioning all our lives.
02 Where is the passion
The so-called "haven's enmity" probably means "the way of heaven rewards work", but does the way of heaven pay for work? Maybe, maybe not, but it doesn't matter. The twists and turns experienced by Tianqiu are exactly what makes me admire the movie "The King of Comedy".
Zhou Xingchi's rationality and profoundness lies in that he did not package himself into chicken soup, and said that he finally achieved achievements after experiencing thousands of hammers, so as to give people the comfort of cheap success and hypocrisy. He strikes at you with truth and tells you that one in ten million chances of success are not just by hard work.
We must face the truth of frustration and tragedy, remove the halo of dreams, stand soberly and firmly in the vortex of frustration, and re-examine ourselves.
Socrates said that there are three parts of the soul, desire, reason and thymos.
Thymos is the most grueling, it has many explanations, passion, self-realization, and respect by others. This is very difficult. It is the thymos that the Zhou-style little man seems to be completely out of reach when he is on the stage.
So what Zhou Xingchi wants to talk about is, in the normal state of frustration, in an ordinary life, how do we find ourselves and become ourselves? How to find the real thymos.
Yin Tianchou told us: it is love, it is love that is blazing inside. It is a book of "The Self-cultivation of Actors", which is extremely dedicated to any role. It is an embarrassing but still hopeful smile after being ravaged and mocked by the world.
Tian Chou and Piao Piao watch the sea together. Tian Chou told Piao Piao that it will be beautiful after daybreak. Yes, he always believes and always sticks to it. Only on the road to self-fulfillment can you achieve yourself, and never restore yourself to an abstract common name.
So he became the well-deserved king of comedy, so tears filled our eyes.
What is a dream? A dream is something that we can be very happy by working hard every day.
Life is a process of experience. Lucky is not about success. Fortunately, you have found what you love and can work hard for it.
03 The Symphony of Love
The beauty of love may not lie in itself, but the courage to break through all kinds of barriers and break through the self. In such an era filled with ruthless and unfeeling emotions, the illusion of love in "The King of Comedy" confuses the audience and restrains them. The place to live sighs, is love really possible?
The sprout and growth of love are so fascinating, fluttering under the window to play with the children, although the makeup is heavy, but it is difficult to hide the innocence and cuteness, it is really "seeing and looking forward to the glory", making the heavens enchanted; the theater opens, and fluttering becomes the only one The audience is accustomed to white eyes in the world, and they have blue eyes every time you come.
Later, Piao Piao rejected the client, her nose was bruised and swollen, but she was sure of her heart for Tian Qiu, and Tian Qiu's cherishment and healing made her willing to let go of her past pains.
Once they have seen love, people can no longer live according to their instincts like animals. Then all things that go against their will become extraordinarily dazzling. They walk out of those outdated rules, walk out of trivial things, learn to look around, and learn to resist. , Because their hearts have ignited flames to drive away loneliness.
Between men and women, the most rare thing is not the occurrence of love, but the sublimation of this fire into bright stars that illuminate each other or the painful or dim long night.
I stand at the pinnacle of my life, what I want is you; when I have nothing, there is still you:
(Tian Qiu lost the opportunity to play the leading role, and returned to the door of the house, fluttering in a sweater)
Tianchou: Piaopiao.
Piao Piao: What have you been doing? It's dark and don't call back. Can you cook your meal?
Tian Chou: I just.........
Piaopiao: How do you dress like this? Are you not the main character? No matter if you are the protagonist or you are a fan, you have to support me for the rest of my life! Now, try it, see if it fits or not? Wow red, lipstick mark, you go fooling around! Now, this time I will let you make a living, and next time, I won't give you food. Go, go. What to look at? Not convinced? Hit me, idiot!
Tianchou: Piaopiao, I love you.
04 I support you
"I raise you." The whole scene is also the pinnacle of the Chinese film scene, and the reason why this scene is so touching is due to the language of the lens , the mastery of time and the control of the rhythm of the music. , A burst of splendor, showing the rich layers of emotion to the fullest (refer to Director Yang Chao's explanation):
Every time the storyboard is switched, it is a reversal. The feelings are peeled off layer by layer, and each layer is a different expression. After extremely rich brewing and paving, the audience's emotions are burned:
First she got up and saw Tianqiu's money. She didn't know how to define last night, a benefactor who took out all of her belongings? A lover who appreciates himself so much?
She packed up her things and left. At the bottom of the screen are the enemies pretending to be asleep. We can see two people who have each other's feelings in their hearts. The ordinary director may end here.
Then fluttering away, looking back at the room, the angle turned around and there was a vengeance standing by the window who didn't dare to send each other. You can see that these are two people who are obviously reluctant but dare not approach.
Tian Chou looked at himself in the mirror, and the music sounded, stirring up the waves in Tian Chou's heart at this time. At this time, he explained clearly the direction of his emotions, and the emotional level and foreshadowing were rich enough.
And the next step is the fluttering who walks quickly on the bridge, with an indifferent expression. We thought this narration would end with regret and indifference.
No, as I walked around, I walked into the scene where Tian Qiu appeared. The prelude to the music ended and Tian Qiu began to speak.
Tian Chou: Hey!
Piaopiao: What are you doing?
Tianchou: gone?
Piaopiao: Yes.
Tianqiu: Where are you going?
Piaopiao: Go home.
Tian Chou: Then what?
Piaopiao: Go to work.
Tian Chou: Can you not go to work?
Piao Piao: Do you support me if you don't go to work?
(Tian Qiu smiles, Piao Piao also smiles, the two waved goodbye, Piao Piao continued to walk.)
When the mirror is moved until the waves are rolled up, like a human heart, we feel that, um, logic is true. In the confrontation between emotion and reality, reason can often win. We are not living in the air, just as movies are not ideal castles in the air.
However, when the waves came down, the plot was reversed again, Tianqi caught up with "I raise you", and the camera chased Piao Piao from far to near, as if something was thrown to Piao Piao, Piao Piao thought for a while before turning back. "You raise yourself first, idiot." The feeling of Huabi Music became heavy, and the confession of Tianqi was rejected again.
Tianqiu: Hello.
Fluttering lit a cigarette and turned his back to the enemy: What's wrong?
Tian Chou: I raise you!
Piaopiao: Take care of yourself first, fool!
At this time, we judge Piao Piao to be a cold-blooded person, and to end here, he is an excellent realist director.
In the next shot, the scene has already transitioned, and there are too many levels. We looked at the rapidly changing picture outside the window, thinking that the scene was finally over, no! The woods that flew past outside the taxi seemed like the thoughts in my mind went back and forth.
The woods flashed by, and it was Cecilia Cheung's tearful face, with the revenge of the "Actor's Self-cultivation" in his hand. This picture has been deeply imprinted in everyone's heart, and we have seen the director's light.
In this section, Stephen Chow's status as the king of comedy has been established.
Conclusion
Zhou Xingchi has not stopped for so many years. He is trying to evolve and thinking. The first few films of his are always disappointed the first time, but you don’t even need to relive it. When something happens one day, you suddenly think of him. A certain sentence, a certain scene, will suddenly be in awe.
The artist himself and his works are not isolated. What is broader than the artist is the era he belongs to, the life he has rooted in.
The film "The King of Comedy" is undoubtedly imperfect. The imperfection lies in Stephen Chow's own excellence. The depiction of the first half of the movie has pushed the entire film to an unparalleled height, whether it is the heavy life of the small person. The trace, or the movie language that allows the funny content to be presented in the most natural and unpretentious form, or the highlight of the protagonist’s missed realization of the dream for the love of the protagonist, makes the undercover agent’s sloppy intrusion seem particularly abrupt.
However, this is precisely the cuteness of Zhou Xingchi. It allows us to see that the artist also has a moment of confusion when he is dealing with the story. We see that he is not a miracle falling from the sky, but he listens to the voice of life and is willing to use it. Heroism, with a happy ending to cater to the customs and habits of the times, he has always been the comedian who walks from life and sits beside us to comfort us.
His comfort is extremely sincere and true.
He said, I know, I understand what you have experienced, but it is not important. The dream may be really a dream. God may not pay for work. There will always be regrets in love, but if you are willing to love it all your life , Willing to love each other frankly, willing to pursue the true self, then you are the same person as him and have a life worth living.
