Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 483
He Ping led Mao Chunhua out of the cinema thoughtfully. Mao Chunhua looked at him and asked, "Are you dissatisfied?"

"Not at all." He Ping recalled the original "Donkey Gets Water" that later generations saw.

"Then what does your expression mean?" Mao Chunhua was puzzled.

He Ping thought for a while and concluded, "Maybe I'm a little disappointed!"

"disappointment?"

"Yes. Whether it's the novel "Lu Deshui" or the movie "Donkey Gets Water", the heroine Zhang Yiman is an eye-catcher. She is the soul of the whole novel and movie, but Zhang Yu's performance is really disappointing. , which invisibly reduced a lot of points for the film."

"Is the heroine's performance okay? It's not that bad." Mao Chunhua said.

He Ping didn't explain, Zhang Yu's performance in the movie can't be considered bad, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.But in He Ping's heart, there is an original version of Ren Suxi for comparison.

Zhang Yu's "Zhang Yiman" is more than charming and coquettish, but not stubborn and casual. To put it bluntly, he acts like a slut.

It is true that Zhang Yiman is a slut in the mouths of the characters in the play, but she is not just as simple as a "slut". Zhang Yu's performance is too shallow.

As the soul character of the whole movie, it is impossible to get close to the audience, especially the feelings of the original audience.

From the perspective of the heroine, the whole movie is a failure.

But director Xie Jin is still a famous director after all, his level is online, there is no place for you to play in the whole process, it is a movie that you can watch smoothly.

As soon as this movie is released, I'm afraid Zhang Yu's reputation will not be very good, He Ping thought to himself.

This is indeed the case. The latest issue of "Popular Cinema" published a film review about "Donkey Gets Water".

"After watching "The Donkey Gets Water", I silently awarded him the best film of the year in my heart. This is a comedy with impeccable laughs, tears, lines, soundtrack and thoughts. Of course, this only refers to It is supported by the original work.

The core of many comedies is often tragedy, as is "Donkey Gets Water", which tells such a sad story in an absurd way, and there is a very good sentence on its poster, 'Tell a joke, you can don't cry'.

I'm so sorry, I'm in tears!
The theme of the story of "Donkey Gets Water" is set in the period of the Republic of China. Rural elementary school teachers with "misbehaviour" deceived others to get public pay. After watching it, I was secretly surprised. This movie is about the Republic of China, but there are many plots in the movie. But it is universally applicable, and the audience smiled knowingly. Its release made me see a kind of self-breakthrough courage and hard work of Director Xie Jin.

However, what I want to discuss today is not the sensitivity of the subject matter, but the sexual oppression of women by the patriarchal society shown in the movie.The female advocate Yiman is a woman with a very advanced concept. In an open city, she sleeps with whomever she sees, and when she arrives in a small backward village, she also takes everyone to bed. If there is anything that can't be solved, let him sleep first, so , When she met a man she couldn't handle, she smiled evilly and madly: "Let me sleep with him." '

However, if you want to sleep with Zhang Yiman, you have to see her mood. She is not on call at any time, nor can she sleep with one person all the time.After the male colleague slept with her, he fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. Yiman asked back: "Do you think I am the kind of person who can spend a lifetime with you?" Admitting that sleeping with the coppersmith is nothing more than a desire to vent.She only wants to satisfy her flesh, but you are tempted.

Such women are extremely special and lonely, whether in the Republic of China or in the present.I know that many viewers should already be boiling when they see this. Countless people will brandish the Four Books and Five Classics when they see this, stand on the commanding heights of morality, struggle hard, stretch their necks, spit saliva with veins bursting, and insult her: Slut!Cousin!

……

Very well, the term "cousin" is a common vocabulary used to oppress women in a patriarchal society. If a woman uses her beauty to sleep with enough men, people will label her a "cousin". She pointed and pointed, and the man spat at her smugly. These people assume that they are holy like a white lotus when they scold F. We call this kind of verbal violence against women For 'swing F humiliation'.

On the other hand, if a man uses his social resources or appearance to sleep with enough women, we call it romantic in ancient times, which is the privilege of celebrities and refined scholars.The same goes to bed everywhere, why aren't these men cast aside by society?This is a double standard, it's time to put chastity belts on men.

……

Director Xie Jin made his biggest breakthrough since filming, but it was overshadowed by the existence of the heroine.Her performance only allowed the audience outside the play to see the word "slutty F", but did not reflect Zhang Yiman's inner pursuit of freedom and gender equality. Compared with Zhou Tienan played by Zhu Shimao, she pales in comparison.

I have to say that Teacher He Ping's original work is so good that I couldn't bear to reprimand her when I saw the poor performance of the heroine Zhang Yu in the movie.Actor Zhang Yu, you have to thank Mr. He Ping for your talent, so that your acting skills can be loved and sought after by so many movie audiences because of the film adaptation of his work. "

The film review of "Donkey Gets Water" in "Popular Movies" was written by Cui Boquan, the deputy editor-in-chief at the time. He gave a very pertinent evaluation of the film, but at the same time made the most powerful attack on the heroine Zhang Yu.

Founded in 1950, "Popular Film" is the most authoritative film magazine in China.By 1984, the circulation of each magazine exceeded 920 million copies, making it the film magazine with the highest circulation in China and even the world.

At this time, the weight of "Popular Film" in China far exceeds that of a series of film magazines such as "Variety Show", "Hollywood Report", and "People" in Hollywood in later generations, because he unified China. movie review.

The plot of "Donkey Gets Water" hit the sensitive point of the magazine, but Zhang Yu's performance was like the mouse droppings in a pot of soup, which made everyone angry.

This is the highlight of the whole play, it is such a pity to be wasted by such a poor actress. The female fighter who symbolizes the pursuit of freedom and gender equality is actually played by her as a real slut.

attack!It must be severely criticized!

Especially after discovering that Zhang Yu and Xie Jin both belonged to the Shanghai Film Studio, everyone thought that there must be an unknown secret operation here.

How can an actress like Zhang Yu, He De, be able to play such a role.

tui!shameful!
