Zhuo Yun's appearance can be said to be different, in sharp contrast to several other wives. When we first met, the eldest wife was indifferent to Song Lian with helplessness, while the third wife avoided seeing her. Only the second wife, Zhuo Yun, went out to greet Song Lian with a smile on her face when she learned that Song Lian was visiting. The content they talked about included Songlian's appearance, knowledge, and family. The purpose was to make Songlian feel her passion for her and bring them closer to each other. Once she smiles, her smile must be real, because the second wife is the first person in the mansion who has a similar position and makes her feel trustworthy; on the contrary, when we watch the movie for the first time, even though we will Like Song Lian, I feel Zhuo Yun's easy-going and kindness, but after watching the movie and then looking back on this dialogue, we can easily find the horror inside: Beneath the good appearance, there is hidden inner darkness, in the words of the third wife To describe it, Zhuo Yun is "the face of a bodhisattva, the heart of a scorpion."
What was the purpose of Zhuo Yun's first meeting with Song Lian? First of all, let Songlian relax her vigilance, because she knows that a woman will be nervous when she comes to an unfamiliar environment. The most obvious manifestation is that Songlian has always maintained a serious expression before meeting Zhuo Yun; another detail is coming After changing clothes on the first night at Chen's house, he immediately got under the quilt and covered himself tightly. Only by letting Song Lian relax her vigilance can Zhuo Yun understand her background and thoughts. After all, Song Lian's arrival is essentially an increase of a competitor, making her less likely to be favored by the master and making herself in the big mansion. its status has been further reduced. Secondly, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemies will not end in a hundred battles, and knowing the situation of the competitors will help to consolidate and develop one's own position, because if the opponent reveals flaws, one can make a small report in front of the master to lower the status of the opponent or even destroy the opponent; For example, after learning that Mei Shan had an affair with Dr. Gao, she immediately took someone to arrest the adulterer, and finally killed Mei Shan. In this way, the eldest wife was old and uncompetitive, the third wife was killed, the fourth wife was blocked, and the second wife's position was consolidated.
In the first conversation between Zhuo Yun and Song Lian, we can get some useful information. Apart from false rhetoric and greetings, there is truth in Zhuo Yun's words. For example, she said, "This foot can't be beaten by anyone who wants to beat it... Now I'm married to a new wife as young and beautiful as you, the second sister is afraid that someday I won't be able to enjoy this blessing... From now on, if you can be happy every day Hit your feet, in the Chen family, you can do whatever you want." Although he said that, he must be jealous of Song Lian, and the envy is because Song Lian can get the favor of her grandfather and be beaten by a lamp. Jealousy is because Songlian has gained more power, and hatred is because her arrival makes her less hopeful, so she will help Yan'er write Songlian's name on the puppet later. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Zhuo Yun cannot unite Yan'er as a maid for no reason.
First, as a maid, Yan'er can keep track of Songlian's dynamics at any time, and immediately help the second wife to seize her loopholes at critical moments to frame her or give her. She got the fatal blow. Song Lian's fake pregnancy was discovered only after Yan'er discovered the blood on her pants in time and handed it over to Zhuo Yun. There is one detail that deserves attention. After Dr. Gao diagnosed the fourth wife, the second wife asked him, "How is the fourth sister?" Obviously, there are two meanings: pretending to care about the fourth sister's body, but in fact, to find out whether Songlian is really pregnant. And the anticipation was beyond words, otherwise, he would not have followed Dr. Gao to see the master all the way. Maybe it was not the master but her who wanted to know the result the most. For the master, even if Song Lian is pregnant, it is only one more child among his children, and it is possible to be born in a few months; but for Zhuo Yun, the meaning is even more extraordinary. She hoped that Song Lian was not pregnant, then Song Lian was like committing a "crime of deceiving the king", and the consequence was that she was immediately thrown into the cold palace. As a result, as Zhuo Yun wished, Song Lian was not pregnant, and was immediately sealed off, and her status plummeted. In this regard, Zhuo Yun has eliminated a formidable enemy.
Second, you can use the hand of Yan'er to curse Songlian. Yaner was illiterate, so she helped Yaner write Songlian's name. We saw that the doll was covered with needles. In fact, these needles carried the resentment of the two people. We have reason to believe that most of the needles on the rag doll were inserted by Yan'er. After all, it was found in Yan'er's room, and the wife is the wife, and it is unlikely to pull down her body to have sex with the girl for the sake of face. Same thing. Maybe hatred is a vector, there is direction and intensity (magnitude), Zhuo Yun points out the direction for it, and Yan'er provides it intensity; just like someone shouts out a doctrine, most believers will work hard for it, although This doctrine is difficult to achieve. In addition, Zhuo Yun is happy about the rag doll, because someone cursed Song Lian for her, so she could save herself, and no matter whether the curse could hurt Song Lian, the second wife would definitely not feel bad when she thought about it. , just like when you saw the primary school head teacher who had scolded you in public was slapped in the face, no matter whether the teacher's face was swollen or not, your heart will not be ignored or sad, at least I will be very happy, maybe still Tell those who do it where to go.
Back to the first conversation between Zhuo Yun and Song Lian, the content involved the third wife. Zhuo Yun told Song Lian that the third wife was "the most famous actress in the troupe, who sings well and looks good", and then everything turned around, "Hey, the third sister is really tricky, it was you yesterday. What day, can I call the master away in the middle of the night, I'm so rude to you... What is the disease, the problem that the master is used to!" Students who are familiar with the TOEFL or GRE test know that if there is a concession in a sentence Logic, the key point that the speaker wants to express must be after the turning point. It happens that Zhuo Yun has been slandering the third wife Mei Shan after the turning point, and these remarks made Song Lian have a negative impression on the third wife. In addition, the third wife's performance after that confirmed the "diao" described by the second wife. This word created a rift between Song Lian and Mei Shan. At the same time, this was what Zhuo Yun wanted to see, because if the two of them lost both in the fight, she could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
In this film, Zhuo Yun speaks ill of others behind his back more than once. Except that she slandered Mei Shan to Song Lian this time, after being cut off by Song Lian, Zhuo Yun was accompanied by the master. At this moment, she did not forget to slander Song Lian, saying that she was jealous of her being lit by the master. In our real life, there are also such strange people who wantonly slander others behind their backs for their own benefit, commonly known as snitching. But in fact, this behavior of speaking ill of others behind their backs is very common, and we can understand it in two ways:
First, psychoanalysts believe that "at an unconscious level, we long for the person to live more than the person we want to destroy. For a long time." Zhuo Yun's approach in the film is just a confirmation and development of this sentence, and her slander of Songlian is to make her dominant position long, and at the same time weaken the position of her competitor Songlian. In fact, her goal was achieved. Using the practice of slandering others and the master's sympathy for the weak, she got the promise of being lit for a few more days. Secondly, speaking ill of others just reflects the speaker's lack of self-confidence, and the process itself is the release of one's own emotions. In a crowd, it is easy for us to compare ourselves with the people around us, such as height, appearance, knowledge, wealth, father, etc. As long as we are at a disadvantage, it is inevitable that we will feel jealous and inferior, and compared with other ways of releasing negative energy , language violence is easier to operate. Therefore, in the process of slandering Songlian behind her back, the negative energy accumulated in Zhuo Yun's heart was released because she was not young, beautiful, and educated.
In fact, the analysis of Zhuo Yun includes but is not limited to the above content and angles, and the beauty of this film is that the director did not give us a comprehensive perspective to examine Zhuo Yun's character like some films at the beginning, but arrived at the Near the middle of the film, we can understand the second wife's scheming, and the depth of scheming is not what we can imagine at the beginning, and this eventually prompts the viewers to look back at the first half of the film. Only in this way can we fully grasp Zhuo Yun's character traits.
