Chapter 155: The True Interpretation of "Big Fish and Begonia".
Dean Xu Changyou's Weibo did not deliberately praise anyone, nor did he belittle anyone, he just reinterpreted the plot of "Big Fish and Begonia" from his own perspective.
Here's what he wrote in his Weibo article:
"Since everyone is discussing the movie "Big Fish and Begonia", the old man also came to join in the fun.
For this work, if you look at it in detail, it can be said to be very brain-burning for some people, and I also think this is the reason why the movie is "controversial". The public cannot quickly accept and understand the worldview that the film builds or relies on, as well as the plot promoted under this worldview, which is the biggest 'failure' of the movie.
Hehe, in today's Xia Kingdom, movies are mostly used as fast food nowadays, rather than being tasted slowly, so Qin Yan, a small screenwriter, should be 'criticized', which obviously does not combine the characteristics of the times when writing the script.
Here's a quick look at what I saw.
In the worldview constructed by this film, the five elements in traditional philosophy are actually used, which is hinted at in the character five elements diagram in the trailer.
The various people in the movie are divided into five races, and the operation of the five elements is the most expressive of the decline of luck between the various races.
Therefore, the catastrophe in the movie comes from the original operation of this world, and when some imbalances appear, disasters will naturally come to maintain the harmonious operation of this world. So it's not something that individuals like Tsubaki, Kun or Yu, or Lingpo can bring. Of course, disasters do not arise naturally, and there must be a carrier to present them, which is the opportunity to open up disasters. The person who opened the opportunity is the person who is behind the blame as we all understand it now.
In addition, many of everyone's questions are actually answered in the movie, but you selectively ignore them.
For example, the disaster came because of the heroine or a natural disaster, in fact, the movie also has the answer.
As you can see, it is Houtu who is the patriarch of the whole village. He belongs to the "earth" of the five elements. Then, we can find out that there are very few people in the Jin clan, most of them are wood, water, and earth. So it's very likely that the last one to suffer a disaster was the Jin clan.
Then let's take a look, there is a detail, about 50 minutes into the movie, Tsubaki and Kun were rescued by recuperating in an abandoned earthen building. There is a remnant of the word "gold" on the abandoned tulou, and there is also a plaque of "Golden Mother Immortal". This shot is critical, and I hope you can go back and take a look. So in the last disaster, the victims were the Jin people.
And the first few pages of the life and death book of the Lingpo in the movie are written "Guihai", in the Ganzhi chronology, this year is a last year, water. So, what is the disaster in the movie? Deluge. It's a metaphor.
In addition, the four words "Tianxing Constant" on the plaque of the Lingpo Hall come from the ancient book "Xunzi Tianlun", emphasizing that nature has its own laws and will not change because of sage and tyranny, which also shows that the heroine is not the maker of disasters.
In addition, the yin-yang fish on the walnut dropped by Pixiu indicates ......
For example, the couplet on the red gate of the ascending building is 'is color and emptiness, and the lotus sea is six degrees of sailing; Immortal, incense and wisdom mirror enlighten Sanming. Meaning......
The strange dialogues of the 'sedan cat' and the rat woman and the spirit woman that appeared later are actually implied ......
Some of the characters from myths and legends represent......
The characters and animals in the movie are full of zodiac signs......
Also, there is a complete theological system implied in the movie, which I will tell you slowly......
Tsubaki goes to the water, the begonia flowers bloom, Tsubaki pays for the life of the kun, who is still in love, it should be the Tsubaki flower and the moon, but there are fish in the north.
Actually, this movie is still good.
Seeing someone say what the heroine is a green tea, selfish, etc., I don't criticize and oppose it, after all, there is a good saying in the Western Continent, there are a thousand hamlets in a thousand people's eyes. However, some people do not have enough knowledge and cultural reserves, or do not consider so many aspects, so they judge their understanding of this shallow content based on their accustomed world view and values, including the habitual phenomena in life, which makes people a little speechless.
And you explain to him no longer on the same level. For this kind of person, my old man is quite helpless.
Finally, I wish you all a happy movie, "Big Fish and Begonia" is not an ordinary popcorn movie, it is worth watching with thought, the only drawback is that the screenwriter wants to express too many things. ”
Dean Xu Changyou's article is very long, with more than 4,000 words.
He elaborated on some details in the movie that everyone did not notice, and interpreted some controversial places, so that the majority of netizens have a deeper understanding of the movie "Big Fish and Begonia".
And all the viewers didn't expect that there would be so much ancient culture of the Xia Kingdom implied in this movie.
The five elements of heaven and earth, ancient books, myths and legends, yin and yang gossip, the year of the cadre branch, the zodiac signs,......, people who have no cultural level can really only look at the surface.
However, Dean Xu Changyou's last sentence seems to be satirizing Director Mu Jie's self-righteousness.
At this point, the word-of-mouth crisis of "Big Fish and Begonia" has been lifted, and more people have entered the cinema.
Even many viewers who have already watched it once can't help but go into the cinema and start the second brush.
They want to see if there are really so many things hidden in the movie as Dean Seo Chang-woo said.
Because of the strong support of President Xu Changyou, "Big Fish and Begonia" has become hard to find, and the single-day box office has directly doubled, directly exceeding the 20 million yuan mark!
And if it weren't for the lack of film scheduling, the number would be even higher.
In the next few days, the scheduling rate of "Big Fish and Begonia" in major theaters has been increasing, and it is now as high as 17%.
And the single-day box office has also continued to increase to about 35 million.
It can be said that "Big Fish and Begonia" is already a hit.
The Internet is a place that praises and degrades, and the more popular things are, the more sought after. Now, whether it is Weibo, websites, or short video platforms, more and more people have joined in the interpretation of Big Fish and Begonia, and an article and video have received a lot of clicks.
And when a senior movie blogger found out the story behind "Big Fish and Begonia", Qin Yan also appeared on the hot search again.
Who would have thought that the movie "Big Fish and Begonia" was actually based on Qin Yan's half-filmed garbage film "The Legend of the Mermaid".
If there were no constraints and restrictions in that half of "The Legend of the Mermaid", would "Big Fish and Begonia" be more perfect?
Netizens feel that this is very possible.
By the way, the animated short film "The Polluted Underwater World" filmed by Qin Yan in the director competition seems to have been spliced together with the video clips of the half-step "Legend of the Mermaid".
It's just too rebellious.
At this point, Qin Yan's wisdom and talent have been proven again.
From a popular classic song to several popular film and television dramas, coupled with his anti-sky performance on variety shows, this is a super student.
Qin Yan's number of fans has skyrocketed by millions again, and even with Magic Shadow Media, it is generally favored by industry insiders, and many artists in the circle have also signed with Magic Shadow Media.
With Qin Yan, an all-powerful god, the potential of Magic Shadow Media is still very large.
No, now a big star has come to negotiate the signing.
