Chapter 171: Minefield

Yi Qing finally couldn't hold back and stretched out his hand to the forbidden area, in fact, it was a forbidden area, which was a bit serious, but discussing the relationship between the two sexuals is still a secretive topic in the current era.

This story is about Chun Tao and Li Mao who were scattered by bandits on their wedding night and fled from the countryside to the capital alone, where they made a living by picking up rags.

In the escape, Chun Tao and Liu Xianggao knew each other, and lived in dependence on each other, but outsiders said that they were "concubines", in the old capital in the 30s of the 20th century, the poor people did not care much about other people's affairs, and there were well-wishers who saw their affection and love, and persuaded them to report a husband and wife's official household registration, but Chun Tao was unwilling.

A few years later, Chun Tao passed by the small market next to Shichahai one day, and when she heard someone call her nickname, she was surprised to see a legless, unkempt man sitting on the ground, looking at her with pity.

It turned out that this was Li Mao, who had worshiped heaven and earth with her and should be called her husband, and she couldn't bear to see Li Mao starve to death on the street and take him home.

Since then, two men and a woman live in a dilapidated house, and in order to keep themselves or either of them from being on the streets, all three are trying to restrain themselves and try to accept this unacceptable reality.

But no matter how stubbornly Chun Tao insists that "the three of us will live like this", the two men hope that Chun Tao will have a normal home.

Liu Xianggao finally ran away, and Chun Tao realized that she loved him at this time, and ran out to find him desperately. When she returned home disappointed, she found that Li Mao had hanged himself, and she rescued him, and the two have been known as brother and sister ever since.

Soon, Liu Xianggao was driven by love and conscience and returned to Chuntao, and Li Mao was pleased with their reunion.

In the original movie, the heroine Chun Tao has a scene with her back exposed, which is nothing in the future, but in this era, the hero and heroine in "Lushan Love" kiss their faces and can stab a bunch of people's lungs, and the backless is estimated to be no less than detonating a million-yield nuclear bomb.

Yi Qing has the courage to write, it depends on whether Meng Shi has the courage to shoot.

The original movie, Yi Qing only watched it once in his previous life, and it was because of the heroes and heroines of this movie, Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen played the husband and wife again after "Furong Town".

For the grasp of the role, Liu Xiaoqing can be said to have dedicated herself to her peak state, especially when she showed Chun Tao's kind and stubborn, affectionate and righteous character almost perfectly.

And as a big-name star, Liu Xiaoqing plays a rag-picking guy in the film, wearing rags all day long, and having to carry a big basket to walk through the streets and alleys to collect rags, which is really not easy.

However, it is worth commendating that the role of Chun Tao in the film is no longer the image of a woman who has to rely on men for everything in the past, but has a strong sense of independence and independent personality.

This can be clearly seen from her sentence in the film: "I am not anyone's daughter-in-law, I am my own".

Jiang Wen's performance in the film is inevitably overshadowed by Liu Xiaoqing, basically failing to perform the character characteristics, almost a hodgepodge of his previous roles, especially when he puts on a robe and wears a hat and walks on the street, Yi Qing feels that he sees the young "Li Lianying", just short of that braid.

But fortunately, Liu Xiaoqing is still at her peak, and she alone is enough to support the whole movie.

The main highlight of the whole movie is the character of Chun Tao, which is very simple in terms of plot, simplifying all the branches and branches, and focusing on the main story line: Chun Tao was originally living well with Xiang Gao, but her ex-husband who suddenly broke his legs came back, and in the face of two men, how should Chun Tao choose?

This has also become the main conflict of the story, but this conflict is not in the action, but in the emotion, when seeing Chun Tao propose that the three of them live together, Yi Qing suddenly remembered Wang Quan'an's "Tuya's Marriage", and the two do have similarities in some aspects.

However, the movie "Spring Peach" is not only about telling the story of such an unreasonable and vulgar deformed family to entertain the public, but also to explore the inner cultural proposition.

The original film was released in 1988, and the upsurge of reform and opening up is stimulating the Chinese people one after another, and has had a wide and profound impact on Chinese society.

The gongs and drums of the market economy have been sounded in the sky-high prices of the earthquakes in the motherland, and while people are facing the benefits brought by the economy, the traditional values are like a building about to collapse, and "the etiquette collapses and the happiness is broken."

Just like Chun Tao in the film, people are faced with difficult and painful value choices.

On the one hand, the ex-husband who has worshiped heaven and earth and won the dragon and phoenix post, which represents tradition, and on the other hand, he has lived together for three years and also loves each other, which represents love.

Chun Tao's choice has gone beyond a simple choice between two men, but a choice between reason and love, tradition and modernity.

This choice is undoubtedly painful, but it is inescapable for the protagonist, because it is impossible to have both, just as it is impossible for two men to live with one woman, which is deformed, abnormal, and at the same time not socially permissible.

Chun Tao's painful choice is the same as the pain of the Chinese people in the 80s when they faced the transformation of modern society, on the one hand, people want to enjoy the joy and excitement brought by the opening of the market, and on the other hand, they want to redeem the traditional values that are gradually crumbling.

This is just as Chun Tao said in the film: "I can't leave you because you're crippled, but I'm reluctant to leave him." ”

It is precisely in this kind of contradiction and entanglement that people's thoughts naturally fluctuate and struggle.

However, it is interesting to note that the ex-husband, who is a representative of traditional culture, is set up in the film as a disabled person who lost his legs in the war, while Xiang Gao, who is a representative of modern culture, is not only physically strong, but also a beautiful man, which undoubtedly implies a certain tendency to understand traditional culture and modern culture.

Especially at the end of the film, when Chun Tao walked out of the door, at both ends of the alley, one end was her ex-husband, and the other was Xiang Gao. This opposition also confirms the opposition between traditional values and modern values.

However, what is interesting is that Chun Tao's expression in the face of the two is extremely subtle and full of meaning.

When facing her ex-husband, Chun Tao showed a natural and relaxed mood, but when facing Xianggao, she cried with joy, which undoubtedly implied a certain tendency.

Although the story leaves people with an open-ended ending at the end, and does not explicitly give Chun Tao's choice, from these details, people can also feel a strong hint and inclination.

Just like in today's society, people tend to be more realistic when faced with the choice between tradition and modernity in times of social transition.

This proposition is a bit deep, different from the shallow taste of social reality issues in "Two Sons Open a Shop", and different from the tearful ridicule of a special period like "Children of Eight Flags", the thinking drawn by "Spring Peach" is obviously more profound.

2. The issue of sexuality, the choice of two completely different social values, it is not that no movie has touched this part before, but most of them are gentle, and they have never been pierced as hard as "Spring Peach", and they are directly exposed to the audience.

When Yi Qing finished writing, it was already dark, but he didn't notice it at all, I have to say that when he first wrote "Children of the Eight Banners", all he was holding was to complete the task, holding the script for the camera, and the script of "Spring Peach", he was really distracted.

After his adaptation, this story has become more simple and direct, and the pace is faster, completely putting aside the established mode of the current film and television dramas, which are more popular at the moment, when the rhythm accelerates to a certain extent, and suddenly slows down, it is directly told to the end, without giving people a chance to breathe at all.

"Chun Tao, who do you think can play?"

Suddenly someone behind him spoke, Yi Qing was startled, and when he turned around, he realized that Fu Yiwei didn't know when he had come back, so he stood behind him, listening to what she said, it seemed that it had been a long time, and he had even read the entire script.

Yi Qing slowed down, peeling himself off from this story, if you don't go crazy, you can't live here, he doesn't exist, work is work, life is life, this is the right model.

"You're not suitable!"

Of course, Yi Qing can guess what Fu Yiwei means by asking that question, but Fu Yiwei can't play the role of Chun Tao, in his opinion, in the current Chinese film industry, there are only two actresses who can control this role, one is the original version of Liu Xiaoqing, and the other is Pan Hong, but in terms of image, Yi Qing is still more inclined to Liu Xiaoqing.

"Why, how do you know I can't act?"

Fu Yiwei immediately became anxious, his eyes widened, and he was menacing, as an actor, he was actually told that he couldn't play a certain role now, how could he bear it, especially since the person who made this judgment was still her other half.

"The image is not suitable, the experience is insufficient, and there is not enough acting skills, there is no way to control the character of Hao Chun Tao!" Yi Qing was not polite, and directly spread out the reason, and finally added, "Can I let you show others shirtless?"

Poof!

Fu Yiwei, who was still angry after listening to Yi Qing's previous words, immediately couldn't help laughing when he heard Yi Qing suddenly come out with such a sentence.

"Sister Ye is really right, men are selfish!"

Yi Qing accepted this comment as a matter of course, what's wrong with men being selfish when it comes to women? Isn't this a normal thing? Is it normal for the kind of person who sits behind a monitor and watches his wife play a passionate scene with other men?

"Okay, I'm sorry for you, but I really like this story, but ~~~~~ are you sure you can shoot it?"

Yi Qing looked at Fu Yiwei and said, "Anyway, I wrote it, whether I can shoot it or not, whether I dare to shoot it or not, I don't care about that!"
