There have been many discussions in history about why "Forrest Gump" achieved a double harvest in word-of-mouth and box office.

But in fact, to a certain extent, this is a matter of coolness and abuse.

Whether it's a TV series, a movie, or even a game, it's the same.

Cool, let everyone watch happy, pleasant, enjoyable, you can win the market.

Abuse, so that everyone can cry, feel abusive, unwilling, can win word of mouth.

Because happiness is always very short-lived, while sadness and negative emotions can stimulate people's literary and artistic cells, and make people remember this feeling for a long time and be more impressive.

But no matter what era it is, people don't like abuse.

Especially now, after everyone is familiar with various creative modes, they are even more hostile to abusive things.

Everyone hates that in order to improve the height of the work and the value, the creator abuses the master indiscriminately and cheats everyone's tears, which makes the viewer feel like being used.

There are many solutions to this problem, but two of them are more common.

The first is a story that actually happened.

Use truth to dispel the dissatisfaction in the viewer's heart.

Because it's not something I made up to trick you into tears, it's a tragic story that really happened. Such an artistic expression will arouse empathy and sympathy, but will not arouse everyone's disgust.

The second method is reasonable substitution and reasonable extraction.

To put it simply, it is to use a character that everyone does not have a sense of substitution, such as a fool. When something tragic happens to him, everyone will automatically withdraw from the character and watch it all from a third perspective.

Because no one thinks they're stupid.

In this way, the viewer will not feel abused.

And then when this character gets benefits and goes smoothly, everyone can substitute for it and feel the pleasure from the first perspective.

At this time, everyone doesn't mind that the protagonist is a fool, everyone pays attention to his chances, whether they can meet and have it.

This is a very subtle visual mindset shift, and it is a relatively advanced treatment.

This method of creation has been around for a long time, almost with the birth of literature. However, this kind of research on the viewer's mentality was gradually summarized after the rise of the commercial market.

It first appeared in the personal biography of the famous online literature writer Xia Yu.

"Forrest Gump" has achieved a win-win situation in terms of word-of-mouth and box office because of this.

For example, Xu Yuan is about to shoot this scene, which is like this.

In this scene, the young Forrest Gump can only be sent to a special school, that is, a school for the disabled, because his IQ is lower than the normal standard.

In order to provide him with a normal environment and didn't want him to be called a fool, Forrest Gump's mother exchanged interests with the principal and exchanged his body for Forrest Gump's opportunity to study.

This scene is incomprehensible to children.

But when the viewer grows up, there will be a faint sourness in his heart.

The moviegoers will not substitute themselves in it, but only feel sad for Forrest Gump's family, and at the same time deeply impressed by the mother.

And if Forrest Gump is a very normal person, and the conditions are the same as those of most moviegoers, then this plot will be resisted and angry by all moviegoers.

This is Jin Lao's pen, Xiaolongnu was defiled by Yin Zhiping, and readers were collectively dissatisfied.

And in Forrest Gump's story, one of the reasons why the mother even took the initiative to do so, but was still understood by moviegoers.

Because the little dragon girl is everyone's little dragon girl, and Forrest Gump is just the fool Forrest Gump who has nothing to do with us.

On the set.

Hu Xianxu's young Forrest Gump sits outside the office.

His face was dull, and he didn't seem to understand anything.

In the office, the mother is making the final rounds for Forrest Gump to be able to study.

"There must be a solution. Forrest Gump's mother spoke.

In fact, here, her tone and eyes have changed.

If you look closely enough, then you will conclude that this improper transaction was actually initiated by Forrest Gump's mother.

This also shows that this may not be the first time such a thing has happened.

A powerless mother, in a cannibalistic society like Millican, wants to raise her child, there is no other way.

At the same time, it also explains the background of the times at that time, indicating that this was a common social [dragon teng fo] phenomenon.

This is by no means foolish, because in fact, we can later learn through the channels through which we can learn that many poor rice-tip children have mothers but no fathers, and that their mothers are engaged in unspeakable occupations.

For example, the group of basketball superstars in the NBA, there are many people from this background.

It's not their fault, and it's not the fault of the great mothers who raised their children to adulthood.

What is wrong is that era, and that society.

"Our school is a school that pursues progress, and there is no room for lagging. Mrs. Gan ......" The principal changed his words and asked with a serious face, "Is your husband at home?"

Mrs. Gan's expression was solemn, and a trace of hesitation, a trace of hesitation, a trace of heaviness, and a hint of determination flashed.

"He went on vacation. Mrs. Kam replied.

After that, the picture turned to Forrest Gump's house.

It was night, but Forrest Gump was still swinging on the swing under the big tree in the yard outside.

The light in his mother's room was on.

There was a figure shaking.

There was a man's voice, barking like a dog.

What happened, it goes without saying.

As soon as the camera turned, the principal walked out of Forrest Gump's house.

Forrest Gump sat on a chair at the door, looking into the distance, as if he was not a person of this world.

Looks silly.

The principal walked past Forrest Gump with a red face holding his clothes, he suddenly stopped, and said without looking back: "Your mother really cares about your studies, child." ”

He didn't dare to turn around at the first moment, because he knew what he had done, and he didn't dare to face a child's eyes. It wasn't until Forrest Gump ignored him that he walked up to Forrest Gump and asked, "You don't like to talk, do you, kid?"

Forrest Gump didn't speak, but suddenly smiled and imitated the sound he heard earlier, and let out a rook like a male duck.

It was an answer from a fool, but more like a mockery.

In fact, from here on, it has been decided that those who have watched Forrest Gump's true story will continue to watch it. It was also decided that it is impossible for people who see it here to give it a low rating.

Because this fragment alone is enough to conquer all the rice grain tip people.

This plot, like a steel knife, penetrated deeply into the heart of the arrogant rice grain tip. No matter how arrogant they pretend, there are some things that they can't fool themselves.

This is the current state of their lives.

This is their helplessness.

Forrest Gump tore through the fig leaf and made the tip of the rice look directly at the harsh reality. From the perspective of a fool, he complained about the whole rice grain.

No one cares about a fool's accusation, but no one can turn a blind eye to their own inner accusations.

Everyone thought that Forrest Gump was the victim and that all this had nothing to do with them, so they sympathized with Forrest Gump.

But after the vast majority of the rice grains have been beaten by the capital, they will suddenly wake up, and it turns out that they are the Forrest Gump!

The fool they have always sympathized with and ridiculed is none other than themselves.

"Look, good, Xianxu. Xu Yuan ended today's shooting.

Hu Xianxu is in a very good state, as a young actor, he may not fully know what he is playing, but it is more in line with Forrest Gump's understanding of things.

It's over!

Whoa!

There was applause in the crew.

It was given to Hu Xianxu, and it was given to Xu Yuan.

The filming has only just begun, but they have already been conquered by Xu Yuan's plot.
