[Character Appearance] Li Lizhong's appearance: The director described Li Lizhong's appearance from both family and occupational perspectives. Early in the morning, in the dark and depressing home, Li Lizhong bent down to pick up his rigid leather shoes. His wife Zhou Yufen stayed up all night thinking about novels. However, her hard work was not recognized by Li Lizhong: Li Lizhong's sentence "just writing a novel" took it lightly. Li Lizhong did not understand his wife's novel creation, and lacked literary accomplishment and appreciation of his wife's abilities. This is a guy who has been wearing a plain and dull suit from the beginning to the end of the film. Li Lizhong has a regular schedule and works 9 to 5 in a hospital. He is an ordinary majority. In the workplace, the screenwriter arranged a discussion among colleagues. The three colleagues discussed Li Lizhong's private life in private, which not only hinted at the gap between Li Lizhong and his wife, but also brought endless pressure to Li Lizhong. In the conversation with the leaders, Li Lizhong once again showed his cowardice and mediocrity. He lacks fighting spirit, but hopes to provide a little freshness and excitement to the boring and anxious married life through promotion in the workplace. So after finishing the conversation with the leader, he turned back hastily, and exchanged a little possibility of his promotion by selling his friend Xiao Jin. This is the most reasonable and correct decision made by a hypocritical, selfish, indecisive man. However, the only evil thing Li Lizhong did in the whole film was just a femininist trick to frame his friends for his own benefit. 【Character Biography】Zhou Yufen's Character Biography: Zhou Yufen is the most plump character in the whole film in my opinion. She is a true representation of most real women. A lustful and capable woman cannot be settled. So when Zhou Yufen encountered difficulties, she immediately began to think of different ways: when her old lover flashed marriage, the shrewd and capable Zhou Yufen would rush to marry the wrong man even if she gave up a good job; when the unbearable and boring marriage life In order to change the environment, she was determined to give birth to a child; when the child died, she quickly pinned her desire on the success of writing; when the novel could not go on, Zhou Yufen cunningly used cheating and anonymous phone calls to give herself a creative inspiration. Exciting; when the novel gets away with winning, she hopes to leave her cowardly and failed husband completely. However, in addition to reality and desire, she also has hesitation and sensitivity. When she comes home after an affair, she feels ashamed and hugs her caring husband; after receiving an anonymous call, she visits a stranger because she cares; when a marriage is about to fail, she puts her sentimental Talk it out, even to a husband who doesn't understand you at all. Zhou Yufen's selfishness reflects her inferiority complex and vanity. Li Lizhong once said to his friend Lao Gu: "She always wanted something better...". Zhou Yufen thought narcissistically that she deserved a better life, but before she could not satisfy her desires, she was burned with lust, and after satisfying her desires, she fell into boredom and disappointment. Zhou Yufen is the character who made me think the most in the whole film. [Playwriting skills] The messy narrative in the first 20 minutes may attract the curiosity of some audiences, but in more cases, many people will give up such a film whose main line has not been clear after so long. However, by the third half of the film, all clues are clearly connected: extramarital affairs, female writers, salarymen, police, problem girls, robbery, murder... All factors are organically combined, making the audience suspect that Yang Dechang is dazzling skills. In the past half of the film, we can see the meaning of it clearly. Zhou Yufen's TV interview after winning the novel led the audience to think that this was the ending of the film. But if that's the way the movie ends, it's just a cliché and childish play within a play. However, Yang Dechang made the cowardly Li Lizhong forever fall into the inextricable hell created by others-he did not kill his boss and concubine as his wife imagined (or the audience expected), but chose to be more cowardly way - suicide. At first glance, the plot of the whole film is just a cowardly man who chooses to commit suicide after two-way failure in his marriage and career. It's not believable to a strong-hearted audience, and all too common to a fragile-hearted audience to Yu has nothing to look at. So Yang Dechang changed his narrative method. He no longer told the story directly, but used a way of boiling a frog in warm water to tell a complicated relationship between characters. Until the end of the film, when Li Lizhong was nervously deceiving himself and drinking with his old friend to "celebrate", the audience's nervousness was pushed to a commanding height. At this time, everyone believed that something terrible would happen, and the audience no longer thought it was a bland story (even in an unremarkable space and time). Such a slow narrative begins to make people think slowly. It's hard to photograph everyday life in a meaningful way. Yang Dechang's "Terrorist" is a relatively successful experiment.
