4.77 Stepmother, Crown and Wand Down
Thanks to 520052005200, Zeuscannon's monthly pass, and the Abyss Fleet, Benzen Xiaohui for the tip-
"What is Madame here for?" Wu Chen asked along with her words.
"For her." As she spoke, Lady Temani gently placed a magic crystal on the table.
Wu Chen didn't see the origin of this almost natural, extremely irregular illusion crystal: "Please also ask Mrs. to make it clear." β
"She is a very important member of us. Although we never officially met. Lady Temani laughed, "Your Excellency must be very strange. β
"The world of magic is always magical." Wu Chen smiled: "I can imagine." β
"This crystal is actually part of her many bodies. Because of an accident, she broke herself to pieces. Lady Temani whispered, "She is Queen Naressa from the Magic Kingdom of Andrasia......"
Wu Chen suddenly came to his senses: "But Queen Narissa who can turn into a dragon? β
"You know her?" Madame Temani's expression confirmed Wu Chen's guess.
How could Wu Chen not know!
Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) of the Magic Kingdom of Andalasia in Enchanted.
Her Majesty has a powerful magical power, and can charge all kinds of natural magic, and can teleport over long distances. You can also transform into a beautiful fairy dragon. It's a pity that we didn't anticipate the great difference in the degree of solidity between human civil engineering and magical architecture. Accidentally broke the pin on the top of the Empire State Building. As a result, he fell and fell into a slag of broken glass.
And she is also the stepmother of the Prince of the Magic Kingdom of Andrasia.
In order to prevent the prince from finding true love and thus deprive her of the throne, on the wedding day, she transformed into an old witch and pushed the bride down a portal in a deep well and sent her to a sewer in Times Square in Manhattan, New York. Then the prince chased after him, and followed himself. As a result, by mistake, he fell to his death downstairs in the Empire State Building.
The stepmother's biggest weakness is that she truly loves her adopted son. Otherwise, he would not have been annoyed and angry because of the prince's reprimand, and turned into a dragon to climb the spire of the Empire State Building instead of spraying the enemy to death...... Pretty self-killing.
From beginning to end, she did not hurt anyone except the prince's 'true love', who threatened her throne and had to be removed.
Visible. She's also not an evil stepmother in the traditional sense.
Perhaps from that time on, the adaptation and whitewashing that ruined childhood were silently staged......
Now think about it. The reason why we made such an adaptation and whitewashed all the former villains will have something to do with us growing up?
We used to stand resolutely on the side of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White, but when we grew up and became fathers and mothers, our positions began to change?
Take Wu Chen himself as an example, when he used to watch "Journey to the West", whenever he saw the delicate goblin being beaten to death by a monkey, he would applaud with a bang. Look at it now, what a bird! Great Sage, in addition to being used to blow up with a stick, do you know that goblins have other functions?
In fact, similar changes are not only related to age, but also to the course of history.
For example, "Jack and Beanman" and "Giant Killer Jack", these two British fairy tales are no strangers. The details are also clear, the silly boy Jack exchanged a cow for five magic peas, and then climbed up to the giant's heaven, stole the hen that laid the golden egg and cut off the bean stalk and fell to death the giant who chased down. Then, the poor boy Jack and his family became rich and rich, and lived happily ever after.
There are actually many interesting metaphors in this, such as who the giants in heaven refer to.
We might as well speculate from the date when the fairy tale was first compiled and published. Jack and the Beanman was first published, supposedly in 1807.
At this time, looking at the world, it was during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty (1796-1820 AD) in China.
For China, the 18th century was also of special importance. In these 100 years, the country's population has doubled, exceeding the 300 million mark for the first time (the peak in feudal history); New varieties of crops in the Americas, such as sweet potatoes and corn, have been widely introduced to ensure the supply of food; Coupled with the vigorous development of Sino-foreign trade, hundreds of millions of silver flowed into China (the wealth of the people, if you are interested, you can go to see the "Silver Empire" for reference). In the past 100 years, the traditional economy, culture, and scholarship have developed to a new level, and one of the most powerful periods in ancient Chinese history has emerged -- the "Kangqian Prosperous Era."
And Jiaqing happens to be Qianlong's son. The Qing Dynasty in 1807 was at the tail end of its heyday.
So, from Jack's point of view, who does this 'giant' living in heaven refer to?
So, in the peaceful situation where the giant family and the Jack family have no intersection and no hatred, and it can even be said that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and they live their own lives, Jack has three times (please note!). Climb up the beanman to the giant's house in the heavenly kingdom of the clouds, and steal the giant's gold coins (wealth), the hen that lays golden eggs (trade), and the harp that plays beautiful music (civilization). The enraged giant began to chase after him (this Nima can still bear it!). Jack wittily chops off the bean vine, the giant falls to his death, and Jack and his mother live a happy new life with the help of a hen that lays golden eggs and a magical harp.
Seeing this, everyone applauded.
Wow! The giant is dead. Jack slays the giant, Jack the Giant Catcher, our hero! Hoorayββ
The fact that this fairy tale was able to take the world by storm shows that it was successful.
In fact, similar situations are not uncommon in the UK. For example, in the 16th century, the famous British pirate Drake was not only called a "national hero" by the British, but Queen Elizabeth even visited his ship and awarded him the title of knight. Because of this pirate. It was against the maritime hegemons of the West at this time. The "Armada" of Spain. This. He is also a giant who can lay golden eggs.
Let's take a look at another amazing work: Jack and the Beanstalk.
This is a film made by the British in 2001, which can be said to be introspective.
The plot says: Time flies, and it is the 21st century in the blink of an eye. Jack Robinson, a contemporary descendant of the Jack family, was a wealthy British businessman whose daily life was nothing but work. However, a family curse haunted him day and night: no Robinson descendant would live to be 30 years old. Just as Jack's 30th birthday is approaching, he stumbles upon the secret of the giant bone, and a mysterious old woman (the first Jack's cursed mother, who cursed her to witness her bloodline die painfully again and again at the age of 30) claims to know the whereabouts of the giant's bones. To confirm the legendary story that the ancestors experienced. Jack decides to follow the old woman to another world: the ancient times of Jack and the Beanman. In order to save his cursed life and piggyback on the giant kingdom, Jack must stop what happened in the past and bring the magical harp and the goose that lays golden eggs back to where they belonged.
Look, it took us more than ten or twenty years to complete the transformation of the adult perspective.
And the British took 200 years to complete the national introspection.
Of course, in Wu Chen's view, the reason for such a change is not that the current British are nobler than their ancestors 200 years ago. It's because it's compared to our impoverished ancestors 200 years ago. The British are rich now! Now they are giants living in heaven!
So, in order not to let the friends around him sharpen their knives also learn from Jack to smuggle into England. Seize their resources, and you can only tearfully wash your ancestors who robbed and made a fortune in vain!
It's just that Wu Chen really wants to say a word for the friends who sharpen the knife, wait until we become rich like you first, okay giant?
Therefore, from a large country to a small individual, the perspective is constantly changing.
In this way, will Disney's adaptation of ruining childhood be because the divorce rate is too high?
Because there are as many stepmothers as mothers at the moment, wow!
Shake it and shake these jumbled thoughts out of your mind (Reader: These words don't cost money?!). οΌγ Wu Chen asked again (Of course you have to collect money!) How deep is the anatomy? What a wonderful restoration? Have you seen it before? Did anyone say that? "So, ma'am, what can I do for you?" β
"My lord, can you bring Queen Narissa back to life?" Lady Temani finally told the purpose of the trip.
Wu Chen did not agree or refuse, but asked with a smile: "Why does Madam think that I can save Queen Narissa?" β
"You saved the Queen of Mirrors, Repanzel!" Lady Temani sneered.
Wu Chen's heart moved: "How do you know?" β
"There is a wonderful connection between the Magic Mirror and the Magic Mirror. Before you even showed up, we tried to ask the Magic Mirror who could save Queen Narissa. The Magic Mirror tells us that no one can save Narissa. However, when you arrive in the prison city, the magic mirror changes its tone! Say, only you can save Narissa! β
Very reasonable explanation. As one of the Three Madonnas of Scamus, Queen Ravenna must have consulted the omniscient Magic Mirror about Queen Naresa's situation.
However, Wu Chen grasped another deep meaning in her words: "You say, 'There is a wonderful connection between the magic mirror and the magic mirror'? β
"That's right. Just like our amazing universe, there is a self living in many different worlds. The world of mirrors, like ours, is magically connected to each other. Lady Temani explained with a smile.
"Like a parallel universe?" It's a pity that Wu Chen still failed to grasp the point!
"Yes, it's like our world." Mrs. Temani's complicated expression flashed in an instant, which made Wu Chen suddenly feel a little worried. I'm worried that the Lady of the Golden Forest, who is far away in Middle-earth, will encounter an accident?
On second thought, not all of the space-time felons who arrived in the prison city were the last TheOne. With the abilities of Lady of the Golden Forest, and the powerful rules she carries, it is difficult for Lady Temani to hurt her.
Wu Chen, who was relieved, turned his attention to the matter in front of him: "Madam, Queen Narissa doesn't seem to be a mirror image. She wasn't made into lenses, but phantom crystals. β
"It's all the same. Now, only you can piece her shattered body and soul together and knead them together. Only you have the ability. Lady Temani said with an eager expression.
"All right, ma'am." Wu Chen, who saw the Lady of the Golden Forest again in a trance, was powerless to refuse.
"Thank you, sir!" Mrs. Temani hurriedly straightened up, moved to the table, and made a solemn salute.
Wu Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to help: "Madam, please get up." β
At the moment when he crossed the back of Lady Temannie's hand, the two of them trembled as if they had been electrified.
Isn't this the so-called very calling......
"Master, just like a glass rod rubbed by silk can be electrified, you are a purely physical phenomenon, without the slightest chemical reaction." T160 bravely exposed.

"What's the matter, master?"
"Shut up." (To be continued.) )
