Chapter 103: Praise and Criticism
As a loyal fan of Xu Hui and a super fan, Guo Xiaosi was unable to calm down after watching "The Lion King Battle". When he returned home, he immediately drafted a Weibo post.
The title is "Xu Hui and His Huang Feihong":
The series "Huang Feihong" is considered a milestone work of Xu Hui's movies.
In fact, when I first watched "Huang Feihong", I had some complaints about many of the characters. For example, the strange character of Thirteen Auntie, I felt that it was "difficult to the generation".
Later I felt that perhaps this setting could reflect Xu Hui's understanding of love and romance.
I am used to making all kinds of thoughts when watching movies, so I have to watch a movie three or five times. Generally speaking, I can't remember the content of the movie, but the feeling brought by the movie is like a skin-like feeling!
What touched me the most about Xu Hui's Huang Feihong series is actually the focus of his films: what an individual can do for society in times of troubled times; and what attitude should he use to face the competition between Chinese and Western cultures and what measures should he take.
The four types of Chinese people who roughly portray this situation in the movie "Huang Feihong": the first type, completely Westernized.
Represented by Thirteen Aunt, this character actually plays a role as an introductor of Western technology and values in Huang Feihong's movies;
The second type is against Westernization.
Most of the Qing Dynasty officials and some bloody people in the world.
The purpose and performance of these two people is also completely opposite. The former is to safeguard vested interests, manifested as being both flattering and secretly uncooperating, or using it to attack domestic people. The latter is to maintain the determined living conditions, manifested as being a comprehensive exclusion, whether it is something or a person;
The third type is that it doesn't matter to the arrival of the West. As long as it can benefit or does not affect one's own benefit in its previous state, there are many such people, basically speaking as a vague background. Some officials and a large number of gangsters have close ties with the Western powers, either as compradors, or collude with white people to sell piglets, opium, or sell arms and oppress the people;
The last and least one person is the knowledgeable person who transforms from a sense of crisis into a sense of urgency, and who feels that he should selectively absorb Western technology and actively participate in the competition. There are a few officials, intellectuals like Sun Yat-sen, and some national industrialists who directly face commercial competition, such as Huang Qiying, the shopkeeper of Baozhilin who bought steam engines, because they feel more direct and urgent about the pressure of competition.
Huang Feihong is also portrayed as such a positive character here. Although sometimes he acts like a person who blindly rejects the West, once he recognizes the reality, under the guidance of Aunt Thirteen, he can basically quickly accept Western things and make pragmatic choices.
Are the reappearance of these people successful? Or can it represent the reality at that time?
After all, we filmed a few years later that reflects that era. Moreover, these stories of Huang Feihong were basically written by screenwriters. So is this analysis meaningful to understand that era?
Many people may not know that once upon a time in china is the English name of the movie "Huang Feihong". It translates into Chinese as 'Chinese past!'
Xu Hui borrowed the name of "The Past of America" and wanted to describe an era, but I think he did it.
It should be the reproduction of the situation in the past, and it can be used as a warning or reference for today's people.
Many problems, in my opinion, are not something that commercial films should be avoided. Commercial films should also have values, because they are works after all.
However, in China, thinkers who write papers look down on novelists who show off their skills, and novelists look down on film script creators. Everyone shouts: Don’t talk about movies. Whether it is mainstream box office blockbusters or marginal alternative works, they will be treated out of the corner of their eyes.
We are born with a feeling of the story and a strong sense of picture. I like director Xu Hui very much, and I even admire him a little...
...
Han Shao, who is also a leader in the literary world of post-80s, may not be so flattering about his film review views.
From the perspective of villain Zhao Tianba, I explained how ridiculous it is to "The Lion King Battle"!
"I think Zhao Tianba is a native and pure rogue with a very flexible mind. Although he possesses martial arts, he rarely acts on his own. He has some leadership skills, agile mind and quick response. Although he is arrogant and domineering in his work, he is quite principled in his work.
Zhao Tianba only aims to get the Lion King, although he uses any means. However, he basically does things openly and does not do anything.
He only works for the target, but hardly takes action against his family, irrelevant people. It can be seen from some details. For example, he did not act in extreme cases when he came out of a Guangdong pharmaceutical factory. After Huang Feihong obviously broke the rules and affected his efforts, he did not attack his family, and his disciples and his family!
In a detail, Zhao Tianba first met Thirteenth Aunt. Facing the beautiful and charming Thirteenth Aunt, Zhao Batian actually just took a look at it with appreciation!
Zhao Tianba still abides by some rules in the world.
Zhao Tianba himself said that it was either my person or my enemy. If you offer a price, I would agree. It was obvious how much he paid for this Lion King competition. As a result, when Huang Feihong first arrived, he wanted to pull a group of people to find connections and cancel the competition...
It would be strange if you don’t make a feud with him!
Zhao Tianba is the second generation of the company, and Huang Feihong is the second generation of martial arts.
It is easy to understand the second generation of enterprises until now, while the second generation of martial arts in modern times is actually an illusory fantasy of the savior like Sun Wukong.
He is neither a gang, nor a yamen, nor a consortium.
Zhao Tianba represents the power and interests of the company. He can support many people and hire many people. Unlike Huang Feihong, he wins people's hearts by saving lives and helping the wounded. Zhao Tianba is very straightforward. I will give you money and do things for me. If you have the ability, I will appreciate you. If you can't do it, I will fire you.
When I saw the desolate plot of the ghost's feet breaking seven legs, I felt that Zhao Tianba was very cold and his men were also very bad.
But if you think about it carefully, Ghost Foot Qi is not a human being, and you will get the ending purely by yourself.
For example, when Zhao Tianba first called out the Ghost Foot Seven, the position he was in was obviously not sociable.
The first thing that Guijiaoqi did when he appeared was to kick away the group of colleagues who were defeated first and scolded him. His performance was basically a hot head, his relatives refused to recognize him, he acted arbitrarily, and he did not distinguish between inside and outside, which shows his usual character.
I guess, even if an ordinary person meets such a master, he will not show him a good look when he encounters him in a downturn.
