Wang Jing has always liked to shoot some vulgar and funny stories, and he was also immersed in it earlier. Until yesterday when I revisited the movie, Wang Jing poured laughter and scolding into this movie, doing everything he wanted to do unscrupulously.
When I was a child, I watched and recognized Stephen Chow's talent for comedy, which left a deep impression on the movie "Nine-Pin Sesame Official", followed by "Journey to the West" and "Happy Family 93". This is all due to the fact that the TV station had a soft spot for Hong Kong films in the golden age of Hong Kong at that time. Stephen Chow's films are definitely movies that you can never tire of watching on a loop. Only Stephen Chow's films allow me, a person who does not remember the past, to review it again and again.
The most exciting scene in the movie is when Bao Longxing went to the capital to sue the imperial court in order to wash away the grievances of Qi Qin's family. This period of stray performances made Bao Long Xingyi a bold and daring person, and he was no longer a substitute county magistrate who was greedy for life and fear of death. Bao Longxing's will is not destroyed in such a place where three religions are concentrated, such as brothel. He carefully observed Sangu (played by Yuan Qiongdan) and learned how to fight against others with his tongue. Xingye stood by the sea and spit out endless patterns has become a classic clip. This clip also confirms Good speech can give a person a firm footing, and being able to speak well is an art.
I used to like that the green leaf in it was Li Lianying played by Liu Xun, an old opera bone. Now that he understands the history and then looks at this kind of father-in-law, he is helpless. In it, Zhang Min played the wronged Qi Qin, who was pitiful for her disheveled appearance during the trial. In this film, she no longer has the brilliance of a vase, and Qi Qin's staunchness has also become a character that Zhang Min has been deeply rooted in for many years. I just didn't expect that Bao Longxing didn't marry Qi Qin in the end, and Wu Youti and Ruyan (played by Cai Shaofen) were just duckweeds he met in his life, Bao Longxing had very shallow feelings for them. He silently hid his grievances and love towards Qi Qin. Qi Qin was aware of it, and such unexpressed emotions became a little sadness in the movie wrapped in joy.
For the first time, I found that this ending was a little different from what I imagined. At the beginning, this ending was intentionally cut on the TV station. It seems so absurdly powerful now. It is precisely this ending that is doomed to the extraordinary of this film. After the death of the emperor, Bao Longxing and others threw away the pants that symbolized the supremacy of imperial power. They would rather give up the Ming Dynasty sword of Shangfang (which also represented the old-style symbol of imperial power). Bao Longxing seems to have turned the tide and become a big winner in life, and the change of the symbol of imperial power symbolizes the emperor and the courtier. The movie also meaningfully warns the world that people should not be complacent even if they are prosperous.
"Nine Pins of Sesame Official" is a rare good drama by Wang Jing. Although it is so nonsensical, such a comedy is actually a tragedy after watching it up close and revisiting it. We should be fortunate that we encountered classic and good dramas in the process of growing up. At that time, it was not the era of popular special effects, and many scenes that people could endure were performed by the actors themselves. The head (played by Xu Jinjiang) endures the punishment of mice and snakes, and behind it bears the ingenuity of many filmmakers.
