drama is not life

When I watched it almost ten years ago, I actually didn't understand it. It seemed that I followed the trend to watch a bunch of vulgar and bloody gimmicks. Just watch it. This time I took it out and looked at it again, and suddenly I opened my eyes to interpret the characters in a decent manner. I actually sat down and read it twice. I think I am crazy.
When you are an actor, you must distinguish between the inside and the outside, or it is the tragedy of the madman's life. The vulgar mountain stage drama in the film is just a smile, which is the capital of the troupe who walks the streets and alleys. They do not seek beauty, but only for livelihood. The characters who make fun of exaggerated actions are actually a gentle boy. Fortunately, he is only agile and joyful when he enters the play, and he is just like a virgin off stage. Although his frowns and smiles are quiet and bright, he is by no means pretending to be a woman's twist. , the strongest, the most thoughtful and the most cruel, is it not Kong Ji? In the bedroom of the landlord's house, he was insulted and did not run away, because he knew that the only way to save everyone's livelihood was to give up me, and the death of the class leader showed subconscious determination. After listening to the understanding and tolerance and finally becoming enlightened, the more and more subtleties in Kong Ji's weak appearance gradually turned into an understanding of Yan Shanjun's broken psychology, and also sadly condensed into the fact that the senior brother did not realize it, maybe he would be surprised. , the consciousness of self-protection of others. I think Kong Ji was passively cared for at first, and the relieved smile he showed when he was with his senior brother on the grassy slope and the streets of Hanyang was not because he was born to be a follower, but the kind of heartless trust; When Yan Shanjun used the plot to kill again and again to vent his repressed psychology, he also added trust to Kong Ji, which made Kong Ji gradually bear the feeling of being depended on. Or because it felt new, or because he felt that he could lend it to others who couldn't repay his brother, or because he had a kind-hearted nature cultivated under the protection of his brother for many years, Kong Ji was a little sunk in the dependence of the king. But he is definitely not a "king's man" who has been blinded by his eyes. When Oedipus hates his father, it becomes less and less an excuse for cruelty. To disregard the world's wishful thinking, Kong Ji can clearly see how dangerous it is to give to the king's understanding. He is not afraid of sacrificing himself, never afraid of it, but the blood flowed into the river and the official robes deepened, which is definitely not what he pursued. I think that every time he refused his senior brother's request to leave the palace, there were only a few words without any explanation. It was not that he was greedy for glory and indulging in the plot, but that the unspoken threatening sentences from the king might arouse Changsheng's anger, attracting More blood and tears. Kong Ji chose to repay his brother's love with King Zhouquan. When the king's fragile dependence collapsed in Zhang Lushui's conspiracy, Kong Ji repaid his brother's love with his life.
After all, it was Kong Ji who saw too clearly. Changsheng's self-analysis is very accurate. He is indeed blind. Wasn't it because Changsheng's arrogant satirical king sent the two and 6, 7, and 8 into doom? I want to say that Changsheng is not jealous, but when you see more and more clearly, you know that you have made a huge mistake. It is your own fault, and you will definitely pay for it with your life. You must protect Kong Ji well if you fight to the death, because loving him is completely A habit, even if Kong Ji is already strong and calm in his heart. Changsheng misread the beginning and almost misread the ending. When he performed the final performance on the high thick rope, he thought he had seen everything clearly, but when Kong Ji entered the play, he changed to a shrill female voice, without hesitation, scolded on the thick rope and shouted for the afterlife. When he was an actor, I'm afraid he only saw Kong Ji's sincerity. And Kong Ji, the moment he cut his wrist, knew that he could not bear the dependence of the king, and this Yanshanjun, in the climax of the drama, was also destined to reach the climax of the world.
The commentary in the history of Yanshanjun is not good, but the narrative in the story is quite moving. He is an actor. He was originally forced by the concubine's grandmother on a difficult stage. He has no normal motherly love training, but he is always required to be as prudent as the previous famous father, and can't show his own characteristics. He couldn't play the plays he wanted to play, so because of the chance, he found people from Kong Ji to act for him. He is a king who has no autonomy, and Changsheng is the self who can do whatever he wants. It's just that Jun Yanshan entered the play, thinking that Kong Ji has become a mother who can be attached to, while the long-term dissatisfied ministers are still conscientious audiences, and they want to drink Yanshan's bounty both inside and outside the play. Lushui wants to continue to be a famous actor, so he needs to switch back to Yanshan to come on stage; Chushan wants Yanshan to leave the stage, but it is a pity that Yanshan is too deeply involved in the play. I think Yan Shanjun was sober in the end, but she volunteered to sing to the end on stage, and Lushui played her role consistently, and she enjoyed it.
So for me, Lord Yanshan is the king, the king on the stage, but he sings the same way. Kong Ji is a real man, he has worked hard to repay, and his pursuit is full of joy!

Supplementary note, in January 2015, I watched the alternate version of Moriishi again.
