I'll try to see if I can attach.
Journey to the West is of course the originator of road films. Mr. Lin Geng said that Zhu Bajie is the image of a peasant who entered the city in the eyes of ordinary citizens, and the prototype of Sun Wukong came from the market. Therefore, Zhu Bajie, who is the "consumer of glutinous rice bran" in the mouth of the traveler, is always savage, short-sighted, and self-conscious. Wukong is full of wisecracks, eloquent, and is a rogue in the market. The two brothers intervened to provide most of the jokes in Journey to the West.
Undoubtedly, Wang Bao is also a peasant (or diaosi) who has entered the city [to say that Wang Bao is a popular boy is crazy, ignore him]. The soil is rubbish. Seeing him pretending to be a fool, he kept laughing. But unlike Bajie, he is full of fearless hope, his optimism is comparable to that of a practitioner, his simplicity and honesty are comparable to that of a shoulder-shoulder monk, and he is kind to others like Guanyin Bodhisattva. Such an imaginary concoction is basically populist wishful thinking. He will play Guanyin and complete the redemption of "Tang Seng" (Xu Lang).
Since "Soldier Assault", Wang Baoqiang has endorsed the image of this simple, brave, persistent and kind peasant. Such characters are generally popular. Is this because of the nostalgia of the general middle class (the second generation of farmers?), or because it has completed a romantic interpretation of the life creed held by the Phoenix Man? unknown.
It is said that among the four people who have learned the scriptures, Tang Seng is the most sought after by the female guests of If You Are the One. Xu Lang represents a model of a good man in the new century (a successful career, no cuckold, but kneeling). But he was "lost". Except that he has no hair, Xu Lang is as serious as Tang Seng (indifferent to the customs and beauty along the way), and like Tang Seng, he rushes to a temple. But he has more fetters than Tang Seng, Xiao Di, his wife who is getting divorced, his classmate who is a spy, and the wonderful baby. Not as detached as Tang Monk.
In the interaction between Xu and Wang, the routine in the first part is still continued. The enemy has a narrow road, mutual "benefit" and win-win → we share weal and woe, the foundation is full of love → obtain the truth, and diaosi goes against the trend (boxing match + Bingbing appearance). Huang Bo basically came out at the right time to promote the plot.
