Opening remarks: One of the reasons why Ah Ling did not live up to the original "Magic Ancestor" is that it is really good at telling stories and telling moods in the language of the lens.
Those big close-ups of small objects render the scene and mood just right, agree?
Forget envy
In Aling, the small props that are fortunate enough to get close-ups are all allegorical.
Either it is borrowed from the classic meaning of traditional Chinese culture, or it is the harmonic meaning in folklore, or it is a conventional flower language or characteristic;
As long as you pay a little attention, you will be greatly impressed.
There are many such objects, let's talk about these three easier to understand!
Blue umbrella
01, wind chimes under the eaves
The breeze blows, the wind chimes clang, and the mood can be beautiful;
Chaotic wind transit, wind chimes chaotic rhythm, showing anxiety and eagerness, the mood can be very tense.
A cursory examination of the texts shows that the wind chimes can express their lovesickness, can express the warning of the wind and rain, and can express the caress of the soul.
Ah Ling really used these three meanings to the extreme.
Wind chimes in Mojiazhuang
Foreshadowing the effect of summoning spirits, Ah Ling used it twice:
The first time was in Mojiazhuang, accompanied by a sentence "The soul returns, not to go down to the yudu", and the strange wind blows the soul flag to Mo Xuanyu's door;
The camera gives a close-up of the wind chimes under the eaves here, and the wind chimes in the chaotic wind do not see how beautiful they are, but with a little uneasiness and urgency;
Then there was a scene of Mo Xuanyu's sacrifice, the soul returned to Liuhe, a few joys and a few sorrows.
Wind chimes outside the underworld
The second time was on the roof of the chamber where the clouds were unknown.
Lan Zhan brought Wei WuXian and the Sword Spirit back to the unknown place of Yun Shen, and Mr. Lan asked the spirit in the underworld.
It is not false to say that Ah Ling prefers yunshen to know where it is: the wind chimes in Mojiazhuang are toothless and worn, and the wind chimes in the unknown parts of the clouds are hollowed out and embellished with jade, and the grades are different.
Although the underworld was violently and violently damaged by the Yin Tiger Charm, the sky was high outside, and a series of quiet bells were heard in the silence.
Perhaps the bell on the roof ridge also knows that although the sword spirit has a temper, it cannot withstand the power of envying the synergy, so it sings leisurely.
The wind chimes in the midst of the disaster are unknown to yun shen
The warning effect, which was also used in Ah Ling, was when the clouds were in trouble in the middle of nowhere.
Wen Xu led the people to break through the mountain gate in the depths of the clouds, and everywhere they could see the tragic situation of the sword blade wiping flesh and blood, the sound of fighting was everywhere, and the scorched earth was in pieces;
The camera turns first to the waterfall in the pure land of the back mountain, and the stream babbling seems to be unintruded by ordinary people, and it is still idyllic;
The wind chimes swung slowly and slowly on the roof ridge, Ze Wujun helped his uncle heal his wounds, and the Lan disciples fought and retreated in panic;
The contrast between a slow and a tight, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is rising, which makes people feel more sorry for this century-old wonderland.
Wind chimes in the cloister
As we all know, the most direct meaning of wind chimes is acacia.
Sixteen years later, Wei Bao woke up in the early morning of the second day, walking through the cloister, at the end of which there was a close-up of the sun piercing into the shadows, and two wind chimes hung symmetrically on the cloister.
The clear sky is bright and the sun is shining, and even the breeze can't bear to disturb Wei WuXian who returns to the human world, enjoying the warmth of this sunshine;
The wind chimes stood there silently, perhaps staring at the person who had returned from a long absence.
This person once brought joy and laughter to the unknown places of Yun Shen, like the spring breeze ten miles away, and after skipping here for a while, he was remembered for a lifetime.
And who is this thought contagious to? Whispering to the wind, whispering with you.
Blue's thoughts
02, loquat fruit
Gusu has loquat fruit, golden oval, alluding to family and beauty and consummation.
On the boat that returned from the water in Caiyi Town, Wei WuXian threw the loquat fruit to Lan Zhan, and was thrown back by Lan Zhan;
At that time, Lan Zhan had the stubbornness of a teenager and the idea of respecting Wei Wuxian and staying away.
Throw back the loquat fruit
However, after experiencing the adventure of the cold pool and the lights on the mountain peak, Lan Zhan gradually discovered that in fact, they were like-minded and had a rare confidant.
Therefore, although he still said "boring" on his lips, when he embarked on the road to find Yin Iron, the loquat fruit that Wei WuXian threw again, Lan Zhan gladly accepted.
This toss is Lan Zhan's acceptance of Wei Baby, a testimony to the bondage from scratch, and a foreshadowing and promise for the future.
Therefore, is it more assured of the ending, it must be a consummation!
Then came the loquat fruit
03, umbrella
Umbrella and scattered harmonic sound, so gifts do not send umbrellas;
Umbrella also has the word umbrella, which makes people like it.
These two layers of allegorical Aling are vividly interpreted.
Ah Ling had two umbrellas, one was a blue ink umbrella and the other was Wei Baby's oil-paper umbrella.
Blue ink umbrella
Lan Zhan's ink umbrella appeared when Qian Qidao intercepted Wei WuXian.
Gu Su Lan clan is exquisite, even the umbrella to ink Danqing to dye.
And what this ink tells is not like the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers on Nie Dao's paper fan;
Here it looks like a dragon, or it may not be strange, but when you see the appearance of the teeth and claws, you will be a fierce beast, and there will be a furious appearance.
Lan Zhan's umbrella
Here you might guess:
This is the poor qi dao, and it is reasonable to draw a poor qi, that is, it is not in line with the reputation of Han Guangjun;
Lan Zhan's pursuit from Jin Lintai, perhaps the umbrella of Jin Lintai is also possible, so it is also forgivable that it is Qilin ;
Perhaps brought from the Gusu Lan clan, the qi of the dragon and the style of the king, in response to Lan Zhan's last position as immortal governor, it is also possible.
Regardless of which, this ink painting symbolizes the identity status of the blue and bright prince, the superior ability;
At the same time, it also added a tense atmosphere to the confrontation of forgetting envy at that time, and the word "scatter" was the first, which was the time to part ways.
Blue Tears
In addition, that rainy night made Lan Zhan's perception of right and wrong shake;
He understood Wei Baby's insistence on faith and believed in Wei Baby's choice, but he also understood that what was in front of Wei Baby was bound to be difficult and dangerous;
So, perhaps from that night on, he desperately wanted himself to grow rapidly and become a towering tree to shield Wei Infant from the wind and rain.
This umbrella, when held above his head, is a gentleman who walks the path of a gentleman;
When he put down the rain, he was going to work hard with Wei Baby, and he wanted to quickly pull the knots of Lan Zhan.
Drop the umbrella of the blue cham
Lan Zhan's umbrella is not difficult to understand, so let's take a look at Wei Baby's:
Wei Baby's oil-paper umbrella appeared after the blood-washed lotus dock, when the three sisters and brothers took refuge, Wei WuXian bought medicine for his sister.
Yunmeng is a rainy place, since the lotus dock collapsed, Wei Baby did not know how much rain, and the number of tears, comparable to the number of tears.
But only the time he went out to buy medicine and cakes for his sister, he hit an oil-paper umbrella.
The most straightforward understanding is probably the fear of medicine or food being drenched in rain.
Wei WuXian's umbrella
But perhaps Al ling has the heart to let us see "separation" and "protection".
"Separation" was the temporary parting between him and his sister and Jiang Cheng at that time; it was the end, he and Jiang Cheng passed by, and the grievances were clear.
"Guarding" was at that time, Jiang Cheng helped him to lead away the silent sacrifice of Wen's pursuers; it was next, he gave Jiang Cheng the selfless protection of Dan.
He finally did not fail to live up to the instructions of Uncle Jiang and Lady Yu and protected Jiang Cheng;
Jiang Cheng finally lived up to Lady Yu's ears and eventually lost Wei WuXian.
Looking back at the very ordinary umbrella, it turned out to be a lot of foreshadowing.
The final difference
