fortunate and unfortunate

From November last year to June this year, the waiting time was too long, so it looked very calm. After watching Wang's man, I think Kong Ji is still very lucky, he is lucky to meet Changsheng - Ken refused to let Kong Ji sell his body for him, and Ken took him to wander around (a shy person like Kong Ji left Longevity will probably starve to death), willing to die for the crime of insulting the king. However, it was also unfortunate for Kong Ji to meet him. After all, if it wasn't for Changsheng to play the satirical drama of Wang and Lu Shui, they would not have entered the palace and would not have ended up causing disaster. And Wang is lucky to meet Kong Ji. A person may not meet a person who can reveal his heart to him in his life. The higher the person, the more so. Wang met, so he was very lucky. Unfortunately, Kong Ji's The arrival of the king's enemies has become more and more exposed, and his contradictions with the ministers have become more and more acute, eventually triggering a coup d'etat. And Changsheng is my favorite character in this movie. He plays with life, loves and hates clearly and is somewhat cynical. People with this kind of character should be very happy, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time. In the era of tyrants, such a character was destined to be incompatible with the society, and of course it would not end well. Fortunately, he still had Kong Ji, a man who was willing to die with him, so he was also lucky. Wang's Man is a good movie. It's really worth watching. The man's delicate feelings are shown very thoroughly, and he has a good grasp of history (unlike some ancient movies that only know nonsense and ignore the historical background at all), but If you watch him as a BL movie or a gay movie, you may be disappointed. There is no erotic description in the whole movie, but there are many things that touch people's hearts. In the end, let's be honest. The idol actor, the hype is also in place, and the commercial operation is also quite good, so it is a successful commercial film.

[From subtitles]
Gong-gil: [atop a tightrope] To be up here, away from the bustle, my legs like wings would spread.
Jang-sang: [from below] Ahoy! What is that flower in full bloom I see yonder?
Street musician: Dost thou not recognize the one and only?
Jang-sang: So it is! The one and only! With rose petal'd lips. O Friend, beat thee thy leather while I go pick the flower.
Gong-gil: [watching Jang-sang ascend the tightrope] My, my, there comes a fool, rash and proud! Never knew a fool who knew his place!
Jang-sang: Ho! A tongue most untamed! Master of this house am I, come to bait thee!
Gong-gil: A gallows-hung scoundrel is what I see with an ill-fitting coat to hide his sores!
Jang-sang: Oh thorny Rose, is thy iris closed for me? Open them, and see as I walk the Master's gait. Oh, really!
[Jang-sang precariously walks across the tightrope]
Jang-sang: [finally reaching the other side] Good heavens! Me thought it would be a mere hop and a skip but t'was longer than a runny trip to the outhouse!
Gong-gil: [having climbed down] Master gait, master bait, either way strains the balls!
Jang-sang: And now, a fornicating wench, running off upon being surprised. 'Tis thy own form, saucy wench.
[Jang-sang quickly walks back across the tightrope again]
Gong-gil: I was expecting to see thee fall and crack thy frame. But not bad!
Jang-sang: Indeed, gifted are my two legs, but it is my third that has true genius - and thou shall see it this night!
[Jang-sang performs acrobatics on the tightrope]
Blackhat: Master wants to see you.
Gong-gil: Thy twin eggs, are they cracked yet or just in the crack?
Jang-sang: [as the crowd laughs] Safely in the crack, plugging my bunghole! But now, I must drain my bladder. I gotta pee before I continue!
Gong-gil: Why, you dirty boor! So then, let's try it on for size!
Jang-sang: Good idea! I shall oblige!

Jang-sang: Kingly is he who struts for a while, then exits in style.
