There are scumbags every year, and there are many Hong Kong dramas.
Speaking of "scumbags", it is true that every drama can see the figure of scumbags.
Especially in Hong Kong dramas, there are many supporting roles with "scumbags", and the protagonists have also appeared on the scum side.
For example, in the Hong Kong drama "Behind the Scenes Player" broadcast by TVB in 2016, Huang Zongze played the role of a scumbag in the play, which made people "refresh the three views".
Also in the old Hong Kong drama twenty years ago, we can also see the scumbag side of the male protagonist.
For example, in the 1998 TVB broadcast of "Liaozhai Ii", there was a unit drama male protagonist who was completely slagged.
In this unit drama, the male protagonist is treacherous, the female protagonist is an innocent victim, but after 23 years, the audience has a different statement.
"Chatting with the Flying Fairy of the Green Field"
This drama tells the story of Que Xian Ah Ying and human Gan Yu falling in love, and in just 5 episodes, it contains a lot of truth.
When the unit drama was broadcast, many people felt sorry for the heroine of the play, Ah Ying.
23 years later, Ah Ying's ending was criticized by some netizens as "deserved", why is this?
Next, let's talk about this TVB canonized work.
01 The Love of Immortals
We have seen a lot of TV dramas with the theme of "people and immortals falling in love", and the plot is often based on "sticks beating Mandarin ducks".
"Flying Immortals of Oz" has also experienced the drama of "human immortal love" being rejected.
Ah Ying, a fairy who lives in Feixian Lake, and Gan Yu, a hunter who hunts for a living, save each other because of the love of sacrificing their lives, and then develop feelings.
However, Feixian Lake does not allow the existence of mortals, and Ah Ying and Gan Yu's immortals are different, and the two should not walk together.
But in order to be able to marry Ah Ying, Gan Yu did not hesitate to complete the "impossible task".
In the end, Gan Yu married Ah Ying as he wished, and Ah Ying was able to give up his immortality, give up his identity in Feixian Lake, and go to the human world with Gan Yu to become a mortal wife.
Please note that here Both Gan Yu and Ah Ying have given to each other.
After coming to the human world, Ah Ying, who has no immortal law, tries hard to learn how to be a good wife, but he is always kind enough to do bad things, and even accidentally burns down the house.
With the help of Qin Ji, Gan Yu successfully washed away the grievances that had been slandered, and Gan Yu also began to move steadily.
From here, Gan Yu's identity and personality have undergone great changes.
Becoming the chief catcher means that Gan Yu has a certain amount of power, and his vision is no longer limited to Ah Ying, but he has begun to move his heart to pick flowers and stir up grass.
Gan Yu is fascinated by rouge, a famous trickster, and tries to walk with rouge.
Qin Ji wanted to block it, and invited the peach blossom fairy to deploy the array, but accidentally matched Gan Yu and Rouge, which successfully caused Gan Yu to cheat.
Gan Yu snatched Ah Ying's spirit beads, encountered mountain demons with difficulties, and was killed for picking flowers and provoking grass, but fortunately, Ah Ying was around and did not abandon him.
But after being resurrected, Gan Yu was not grateful to Ah Ying for the first time, but wanted to find Rouge to live in front of Ah Ying.
In the end, in order to curry favor with Rouge, Gan Yu told the secret that Ah Ying was a Bird Immortal and a Flying Immortal Lake.
Gan Yu did not keep the secret of Feixian Lake, in fact, there was a hint as early as the beginning of the series.
Gan Yu, who made a promise at the beginning, did not expect that the mountain of Feixian Lake would explode, which meant that this promise could not be kept after all.
In the ending scene, Gan Yu blurted out that he became Ah Ying's "life-killing charm".
02 Tragic ending
Gan Yu in the early stage is undoubtedly a good boy, and the firmness revealed in Ah Ying's efforts and eyes is convincing.
However, after gaining fame and fortune, Gan Yu has done many things to hurt Ah Ying, cheating and telling the secret of Feixian Lake, which are the performance of Gan Yu's "scumbag".
It is not an exaggeration to say that Gan Yu is a "superb scumbag".
But for Ah Ying's choice, netizens hold different opinions.
In the finale, Ah Ying needs to kill Gan Yu in order to return to Feixian Lake to live back to the previous days.
And Gan Yu also understands that he is in trouble and is willing to sacrifice himself to let Ah Ying regain his freedom.
Unexpectedly, Ah Ying chose to give up, and finally after the Tengu Eclipse Day, he transformed into an eternal bird and could no longer change back to its original form.
Some viewers pointed out that Ah Ying's ending is too regrettable, she did not make too many mistakes, but ended up in such a tragic end, it is really not right.
Many years later, netizens revisited, but pointed out that Ah Ying's move was "deserved", and he should not tolerate it in the face of scumbags, and should not sacrifice himself for the scumbags.
But in exchange for ah ying, in the face of Gan Yu's choice of life and freedom, how will he choose?
03 The Truth of Life
As a series of "Chat Zai II", although "Flying Fairy of Oz" is only 5 episodes, it shows a lot of life principles.
The relationship between Gan Yu and Ah Ying is most appropriately described by the three processes of "beginning", "experience" and "end".
At the beginning of the story, Gan Yu and Ah Ying both paid, and finally got a good relationship, and both left Feixian Lake to become a human couple envied by others.
But love has always been inseparable from chai rice oil and salt, and Ah Ying, who has not experienced human life, began to be disliked by Gan Yu after repeated mistakes.
And Gan Yu has more emotions than the fairies, such as the desire to win or lose, greed, and so on.
In the process of this experience, Gan Yu derailed, Ah Ying bitter and other beautiful people, in exchange for a tragedy.
In the final ending, Gan Yu did not receive a box lunch, but Ah Ying could only become a bird flying in the sky, and could no longer change back into a human body.
This drama emphasizes that the "promise" that Gan Yu must promise to keep is actually not only the secret of Feixian Lake, but also the promise that Gan Yu made to Ah Ying.
The world only knows the beauty of love, but forgets that after experiencing marriage, chai rice oil and salt and long life are the biggest test for newlyweds.
It is not impossible for couples to be able to get along with each other and grow old with white heads, but they need great tests.
What kind of "regret" is the most useless, Gan Yu's regretful ending is the most useless.
After Ah Ying transformed into a bird, Gan Yu began to regret what he had done and regretted that he had failed Ah Ying.
Even after Ah Ying left, Gan Yu spent the rest of his life looking for Ah Ying, but in the end he only became a white-haired old man.
The only consolation was that the bird suspected of being ah Ying's avatar fell on the elderly Gan Yu.
04 The Work of the Gods
Why is it that "Flying Immortals of Oz", a unit drama with only 5 episodes, can be considered a "work of the gods"?
Because the philosophy of life it wants to tell is very realistic, even after more than twenty years, the truth of these episodes is still used.
Because it borrows the myths and legends in the story to interpret the most real side of the human world.
The love between Gan Yu and Ah Ying, in fact, many people can see the familiar shadow to a greater or lesser extent, they may be the people around them, or they may be what they are experiencing.
It seems that gods and ghosts gather, but "Flying Immortals in the Green Field" is about real life.
This point is actually consistent with "Chatting with Zhiyi".
