Chapter 451: Bringing Game of Thrones to the Stage (10)

Li Yaoyang wants to find a dwarf actor to play the role of a little devil, this is not difficult, in New York, in Atlantic City, and even under the circus flag of his hotel, there are many dwarf actors, these special actors with an hourly salary of 5 dollars, life is not as difficult as imagined.

Because they didn't sign an exclusive contract, as long as they ensured the smooth performance of the hotel, they could take the show outside casually, sometimes they could perform three or four times a day, and in a month, they would earn no less than the middle class.

Of course, most of these special actors have psychological problems because of their physical disabilities, and they are not willing to think about it in the future, and they generally have the mentality of being drunk today and drunk today.

After making money, they spend it lavishly, and they don't think about the rest of their lives at all, which is why most of them don't have good results.

Going back to the little devil, at Tyrion Lannister's naming ceremony, his uncle Jillian asked him: What do you want?

The young half-man said that he wanted an underage dragon.

The crowd laughed because the last dragon had been dead for more than a centuryβ€”there were no more dragons.

Tyrion, who rarely cried, cried for a long time when he found out.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ As long as he can ride on the back of a dragon, even a stunted, deformed and twisted ugly little boy can look at the world. ”

Tyrion pushed the bearskin away and stood up.

"I used to hide in the tunnels deep in Kaiyan City, lighting a fire, looking at the raging flames for hours, imagining that it was the fire spit out by the dragon. Sometimes I fantasize about my dad being burned to death, and sometimes it's my sister. ”

This is a very good monologue that conveys three messages:

Tyrion knows his flaws and knows that he is being discriminated against, and he doesn't shy away from that;

He wanted people to respect him not just because of the Lannisters' money;

He hated his father and sister, and he didn't shy away from that.

In this we see a cold and hard character - he may be half the height of an ordinary person, but he is strong enough, sober, and very honest with himself.

Such a character is very manly in layman's terms.

However, such a masculine character is an ugly dwarf who looks like a barren silver.

This constitutes one of the most basic contradictions of Tyrion's character: the half-human who lingers in the place of the wind and the moon, but has the inner self of the most gentleman.

A lot of people like this character, and it also starts at this level.

In fact, the nickname "Little Devil" is a great irony for most of the people in the book.

Because from beginning to end, only this dwarf, who is contemptuously called a "little devil", is willing to take the initiative to be sincere on behalf of others, actively fulfill his obligations, tell the truth, give excessive rewards to those who treat him well, and keep his blood in his heart......

If there's only one good guy in the book, it's him.

But he did kill his father.

Although judging by recent episodes, Tywin Lannister is not Tyrion's biological father.

But when Tyrion shoots, he doesn't know this.

The bastard little Emperor Joffrey is poisoned, and Cersei remembers the witch's prophecy and is convinced that Tyrion did it.

Tywin presided over Tyrion's trial, and the imp made an impassioned speech - both in the book and on television.

"I wish I was the monster in your mouth, and I wish I had enough poison to poison you all. I am willing to give my life and watch all of you swallow the poison. ”

The viciousness of his behavior and the justice of the facts, this contradiction directly broke the shackles of his Lannister family.

It was only then that Tyrion began to face himself again, and the new life that this complex killing brought was wonderful.

And the direct release brought about by this extreme repression of psychology is also perfectly fitting his true masculine interior.

He knows he's hated, but still craves respect.

Despite being pragmatic in the face of everything, when others are a little nicer to him, there is a willingness to treat others with their hearts and lungs - even if that person is cruel Cersei.

It's just that after he can't bear it anymore, he won't have the slightest virgin, and "joy will turn to ashes in your mouth", this sentence sets the end for Cersei.

He knew that others were just gold for him, but he still couldn't refrain from giving his affection.

Shee, the female branch girl he protected in every possible way, betrayed him fiercely at the final trial.

When he later met her in his father's bed, Tyrion calmly strangled her with a gold necklace.

For him, it's not his own stupidity, it's just that "Lannisters have debts to pay".

He shows a friendliness rarely seen in the troubled world of the book to people who have no malice - even if his friendliness is always accompanied by banter and compassion for reality.

He calls Snow "bastard" and then admonishes him not to forget who he is, because the world will not forget.

And as long as you don't forget, this heavy identity, disgusting nickname, will turn into strength to protect yourself.

He is always very direct to the fool, regardless of whether the person has a crown on his head or not.

The part where he stops Joffrey from committing violence is particularly brilliant:

Tyrion: "This girl is your future queen, and you don't care about her reputation?" ”

Joffrey: "I'm punishing her. ”

Tyrion: "Why?" She had nothing to do with her brother's fight. ”

Joffrey: "She's of wolf blood. ”

Tyrion: "You've got goose brains. ”

Joffrey: "You can't talk to me like that!" I'm the king, and I can do whatever I want! ”

Tyrion: "Aerys Targaryen (the Mad King, dead) can do whatever he wants. Did your mother tell you what happened to him? ”

Beros: "No one dares to threaten His Majesty in front of the Kingsguard. ”

Tyrion: "I'm not threatening the King, Sir, I'm educating my nephew." Bolon, Timesh, and Sir Beros opened his mouth again, and slaughtered him. ”

The dwarf smiled, "That's called a threat, Sir, do you know the difference?" ”

Never be afraid to be tough and tough, not just in words.

When Blackwater River and King's Landing defended the war, he faced those battle-hardened warriors as a dwarf, and took the lead with a mortal heart and body.

Although after surviving, the treatment was never notarized, but he never escaped.

Those people on the other side are warriors, so kill them all.

He not only has the heroism of medieval chivalry, but even shows a bit of pragmatism.

Such a warrior was of course feared by the others, and Joffrey, a brutal fool, called him a "monster", and Tyrion threatened him, "Then you have to be polite to monsters, and now the king is like a fly and he will die."

It was just after the bloody wedding, and although this sentence was sad, it was at the same time enjoyable, and no one had ever spoken to Joffrey like this, and he became almost the only positive catharsis in the book.

Looking back at his past, Tyrion's brightest point is that he sticks to the bottom line, but when others break through the bottom line, he never hesitates to fight back.

He was a half-human, a monster, a little devil, a strange monkey, a patricide, and the son of a mad king...... It's all him, but these vicious titles can't hide the courage of his humanity, and after taking these titles for himself, it is the real Tyrion Lannister.

Compared to the other protagonist, Jon Snow, the little devil is like an adult, and Snow is more like a child who hasn't grown up.

Jon Snow is undoubtedly one of the most important protagonists throughout the story.

From the first episode of the first season to the last episode of the final season, although this character finally left a mystery for the audience to solve, this did not affect the love of some brain-dead fans for him.

Yes, in Li Yaoyang's opinion, only brain-dead fans will like him, if you let brain-dead fans do a vote, the most popular character in the suffrage game, Snow is definitely the most popular one.

Although Snow is very popular in the minds of brainless fans, he is not the perfect character in the play, there is no perfect character in Game of Thrones, and if he has, he quickly received a box lunch and said goodbye to the story.

Snow's shortcomings are obvious, he has courage and bravery, but his vision is not far away, which has a deep relationship with his human nature, and the humanity of a character has a lot to do with his genetics, culture, and environment.

He grew up in Winterfell as an illegitimate child in the North, where he was nurtured in Winterfell's environment and relationships.

In the whole play, before Bran became a three-eyed crow, Ed was the only one who knew about his background.

There is a classic line around Snow, "You don't understand anything, Jon Snow", which has a deep meaning, and one of them is that he never knew who he really was, who his biological father was.

Once I lived here since I was a child, and then left for the Great Wall in the north.

He lives in Winterfell as an illegitimate child, and this identity seriously affects his psyche, so Snow in Winterfell looks a little melancholy and a little indifferent.

In the background of the whole show, illegitimate children are very unvalued, just like the little devil has always been treated as a dwarf, just like a little skin.

The psychology of illegitimate children is probably a little inferior and sad, inferior is the identity of illegitimate children, sad is not respected by others, especially the acquisition of maternal love.

In fact, the people of Winterfell are still very kind, and they don't laugh at him with the status of an illegitimate child, it is the wolf mother who really has a grudge against this, it is Theon who really laughs at and looks down on the bastard, and it is Sansa who really doesn't like it very much.

Apart from these three, Snow's other siblings were nice to him, and the people of Winterfell were nice to him.

But the identity of an illegitimate child has always bothered him, which is also the key reason why he chose to go north to the Great Wall.

Snow probably had the blood of being a leader in his veins when he was in Winterfell, or he wanted to make a difference, which was the way bastards wanted to be affirmed.

So he chose to go to the Great Wall.

Naturally, there is more to the Great Wall than that.

However, Snow went to the Great Wall was the right decision for him, as a person who can become a leader or leader in the future, he has to make countless decisions in his life, and sometimes, the decisions made are right, some times the decisions made are wrong, and sometimes some decisions have to be made.

Decisions are not easy to make, one is courage, the other is vision, both of which must be possessed and must be very good.

At this time, Snow in Winterfell did not have vision, but he had courage.

Then this courage of his was nurtured in the environment of Winterfell, or there is a part of his inheritance.

Snow grew up in Winterfell and was nurtured in the environment of Winterfell, so even if Snow has the blood of the Targaryen family in his veins, he still can't resist the influence of this environment the day after tomorrow, because this power is too important.

Everything he experienced in Winterfell would influence every step of the way.

He ended up fighting hard for eight seasons, and was exiled to the Vault instead of ascending to the Iron Throne, which also related to his character in Winterfell.

The formation of a person's humanity depends on what kind of example the most powerful and authoritative person around him gives him, and fortunately his role model is Eddard Stark, and unfortunately his role model is Eddard Stark.

Although he has Targaryen blood in his veins, he is influenced by the wolf family.

He left Winterfell to the Wall of Desperation, and then returned to Winterfell, where he was the King of the North after he won the Battle of the Bastards, successfully eliminated the Little Skinners, and wiped out the Bolton family once and for all.

Here he and Sansa have arguments and conflicts, and the audience also sees a reality, that is, who is suitable to play Game of Thrones.

Obviously, Sansa, who has undergone all kinds of torture and transformation, is better suited to play Game of Thrones, and Snow, like Ed and Robb, is not a Game of Thrones player, which is one of the reasons why he did not make it to the Iron Throne.

In some ways, Snow has a kind of idealism, he is a super warrior, and he is also a power novice, or the men of the wolf family are not sensitive to power at all, and they have no concept of power in their ideology.

He failed to see through the facts – the rules of Game of Thrones.

He only sees his world, he only knows what he should do, but once he enters this field, no one can escape.

All the facts prove that not only the power of the decisive battle on the battlefield, but also the power and strategy, in some ways, there is also politics at work behind the victory on the battlefield, but it is a pity that the men of the wolf family do not realize it.

This is vividly reflected in Cersei.

He, like his brothers, did not recognize who his real opponent was and what his real opponent was.

This can be seen in the discussions between Winterfell and Sansa, as well as in the battle of the bastards.

He is a man of great courage, but he is also a man of no strategic vision.

Snow's character is changing, but this change is not in the opposite direction, not in all directions, his image is strengthening, but the fundamental thing that was planted in Winterfell has not changed, but has also been strengthened.

At the Great Wall, he went from a night watchman to an officer of affairs for the commander of the Night's Watch legion, was captured to the wildling tribe, and entered the wildling team by killing the severed Palm Kolin, where he met his first love, and fell in love with the female wildling Yerreit.

He led the Night's Watch to successfully resist the attack of the wildlings.

Chosen commander of the Night's Watch, then killed by the Night's Watch, and then reneging on his oath.

These experiences have led to the deepening of Snow's character, allowing him to successfully grow into a warrior.
