tearjerker director

Chapter 997 To be happy in life is to have fun, laughing is the end
Everyone couldn't help laughing at Li Yi's answer, but at the same time sighed, this is Li Yi.

In fact, it's all because of his identity. If he said such a thing, the taste would be completely different.

Because he has enough qualifications to say such a thing.

With another director, do you think Chen Weijie and Cheng Hu would still cooperate so well?

"Some people say that many plots in "East Becomes West" have deep meanings, is that true?" Fang Nan asked again.

Li Yi shook his head: "Some people say that movies are the carrier for the director to spread his own cognition and ideas, but not all movies are like this, at least when "East and West" was filmed, I really didn't have this idea. aspects of the idea.

I just want to make a movie that makes everyone happy! "

In fact, it's no wonder Fang Nan asked that question.

In fact, when a movie becomes popular, and the people who starred in it and the people who directed it have a lot of background, it is natural and inevitable that it will be over-interpreted, even if it is an absurd comedy.

In the movie, there are a lot of plots that have been over-interpreted.

For example, Wang Chongyang, the supernatural power played by Cheng Hu, shouted that he was invincible as soon as he appeared on the stage, and then he was directly stabbed to death by a flying boot from the sky.

In Li Yi's understanding, this is to highlight a contrasting joke.

However, under the interpretation of some people, this plot is very meaningful.

"Wang Chongyang of Zhong Shentong shouted that he was invincible in the world, but he died from a boot the next moment. Behind the seemingly absurdity, it implies the impermanence of life. You never know which will come first, accident or tomorrow."

You see, there is nothing wrong with people's interpretation. If you scrutinize it carefully, let alone say it, you can indeed look at it that way.

Another example is what Prince Duan said after he became a fairy, he was stolen by Ouyang Feng's monkey but failed to steal the peach.

Originally, it was purely for fun, but the same thing was also interpreted.

"Prince Duan didn't have peaches after he became a fairy. He said that if there are peaches after becoming a fairy, then wouldn't the children and grandchildren be endless? In fact, he is implying that the so-called gods are just castrated after the desire for love (harmony) deformed products."

Wait, wait, anyway, for one reason, it is impossible for a great director like Li Yi to make such a simple movie that everyone can enjoy at a glance.

However, there are also those who feel that this is not the case.

"There are many peers who have made a comprehensive and in-depth interpretation of "East and West", but I personally think that the reason why this movie is special is that, purely, yes, there is no other movie in my opinion. It is a purer comedy than "East and West".

The whole movie is full of nonsensical jokes. It is a real comedy, which is different from "The King of Comedy", which focuses on telling the joys and sorrows of small people, and is also different from "Journey to the West", which is behind the comedy, but the core is extremely sad. And despair, such a comedy will always make people feel depressed and think a lot at the end.

Compared with the past films, Li Yi's film is the biggest difference, or the biggest feature, in my opinion, is because it is a thoroughly funny film, a comedy film that laughs from beginning to end , so you don't need to think about any details, just watch and laugh freely.

This is a movie that completely subverts martial arts.The image of martial arts masters in our impression can be said to be completely subverted in this film. Whether it is the world's top masters or demon giants, they all become cute and absurd, and there is no trace of what we think of as heroes Heroism.

There is love between children and daughters. One second, Dongxie Huang Yaoshi was practicing "eye-to-eye" with his younger junior sister, flirting sweetly with her, and the next second he saw the third princess and immediately fell in love with her.The reason why I like Junior Sister also makes people laugh, "I have never seen any other woman except you. How could I not like you?" Isn't it absurd?But isn't love just so unreasonable sometimes?
The film is very casual and absurd. This can be seen from the fact that many characters in the film do not have a real name. The little junior sister without a name is also outstanding. I think it is the most distinctive female image in this film.

She counts herself as beautiful as a flower—"Although I am naturally beautiful and approachable, you are not allowed to look at me so lewdly"; My sweetheart is kind to other women, but when he sees it, he will stop him in every possible way.She is the eternally ecstasy cousin, even though she is wearing such a gaudy and cheap pink costume, she still shines brightly, giving this unnamed character a fresh and bright life.

Hong Qi, the majestic leader of the beggar gang, actually became the leader of the gang by winning by guessing fists.Hong Qi is the most intelligent, beautiful, white and clean young gang leader among the previous gang leaders, but he can't escape the entanglement of the word "love". He was rejected by his cousin.

"Heaven is jealous of talents! Now is my generation of beautiful men - Hong Qi, on the last day of living in this world, I absolutely cannot accept the blow of losing love!" Hong Qi who said this seriously made everyone who heard it laugh happily .There is also a famous song "I Love You", but whoever has heard it will never forget it.Thinking of "Only You" sung by Tang Seng in "A Chinese Journey to the West", I can only say that it is indeed Li Yi!
But behind the absurdity, there is actually nothing to criticize, because you want to commit suicide because you are broken up in love, why can people be so fragile?But sometimes people are so fragile, because Zhang Qidong himself committed suicide because of a broken relationship.

Ouyang Feng, the biggest villain played by Chen Weijie, has evil thoughts in his heart, but he is unlucky everywhere.When he met Hong Qi who wanted to die, he repeatedly wanted to get rid of Hong Qi openly and secretly, but he was always tortured like a devil by his own murderous behavior.Ouyang Feng here is actually the most outstanding persona, everything he does has a purpose, he wants to kill Hong Qi, he wants to kill the three princesses, he wants to practice magic skills, and he wants to become an emperor.Although he is sinister and cunning, he is also lovable.He is the most distinctive character in this movie.Anyone who has watched this film will never forget Chen Weijie's Ouyang Feng.

Prince Duan of Dali is also interesting. In order to practice immortality, he became a sincere person with three "six" characters on his chest. On the street, he foolishly asked people: "Sincere person! Can I borrow your breasts?" Let me take a look?" But how would he know that his true heart is not a woman, but the handsome and charming Huang Yaoshi?But the world is full of surprises, isn't it?

Everything in the world has rules to follow, and life is always bound by many rules.In my opinion, the most brilliant thing about this movie is that there are no rules at all.Who stipulated that Tianzi No. [-] room must be next to Tianzi No. [-] room?Who stipulated that Wang Chongyang, a peerless master who had practiced in seclusion for five years, could not be "schemed" to death by the boot that Ouyang Feng accidentally dropped as soon as he left the seclusion?Who stipulated that the leader of the beggar gang must use martial arts to convince the crowd, so he couldn't be made by winning the boxing game?

In this movie, you can't find the so-called rules, everything is just because of the word "happy".I want to be a king, what are I afraid of?Just do it if you are happy.I like the third princess, so I abandoned my junior sister and went after her. What kind of morals does he care about?Just do it if you are happy.What's so outrageous to start giving out red envelopes and saying auspicious words just for the sake of money?I'm happy!

So, don't try to interpret it anymore. The most brilliant thing about this film is that it doesn't require people to interpret it at all, and it can make people enjoy it for more than an hour. Why not do it? "
