The King of Comedy tells the story of a love-hate affair between a small actor who runs a dragon suit, Yin Tianqiu, on the way to realize his dream of being an actor, and the dancer Liu Piaopiao, the actor Cuckoo, the little Hong Ye, the undercover policeman and other people.
The king of comedy is like Chow Sing Chi's consistent style, the whole movie is a large description of Yin Tianqiu's struggle on the actor's road, with real sadness, exaggerated acting skills, composed of a classic comedy.
1. What exactly does the beginning of the film mean?
There is only the sea and Yin Tianqiu in the picture, and Yin Tianqiu seems to be in the middle of the sea, shouting loudly "Effort! struggle! "It is reminiscent of a movie called "A Boat in the Ocean", and hard work can indeed change life and realize the value of life. As soon as the picture turned, Yin Tianqiu, who had just finished shouting "hard work", turned around and left under the blowing of the strong wind. It's a bit like a popular saying on the Internet before: I smile at the sky with a horizontal knife, and when I'm done laughing, I go to sleep. Losing the courage to leave the liver and gallbladder for two Kunlun is more of a helplessness and confusion about the inability to change the reality, and also shows the mood of Yin Tianqiu in the movie, which is a boat adrift on the sea, full of helplessness and confusion.
Think of yourself in your youth, just graduated or not yet graduated, is looking forward to your future, constantly telling yourself that as long as you work hard, all your dreams will come true. However, when we stepped into society, we found that the big classroom of society slowly taught us what reality is and taught us to recognize ourselves. What teenager doesn't have a dream of making a big fuss in the sky and pointing to the end of the world? However, in the end, they were all taught a lesson by society, and truly realized that the meaning of growing up was to learn to be ordinary. Years have passed, time has been carved in the heart one by one, and finally let the old and the young, plus you who can't finish the work every day, consume all the edges and corners of the original, and also take away those "childish" dreams. Began to feel: "I also had a green cloud ambition in my heart, and I only looked back on the old and the young." Discover that this is life, this is the reality!
2. Why are many scenes in the movie given to Aunt Xia, Brother Sunny, the director and so on?
These people reflect our current social situation. The running dragon set (Yin Tianqiu) is the bottom layer, there is Xia Aunt on it, There is Sunny Brother on top of Xia, There is a director on Sunny Brother, there is a starring role (Cuckoo Er) on the director, and there is also a big bowl (big brother) on the starring role. Just like the current social chain, you are an ordinary employee of the company, you have a team leader above you, a supervisor above the group leader, a manager above the supervisor, a general manager above the manager, and a chairman above the general manager. The chairman is over? Above the chairman is the board of directors, and the government, and the bigger companies. What is freedom? Freedom is doing whatever you want! Now that we have stepped into society, do we find that there is an end to life? Can freedom be achieved? The answer is impossible, no one can jump out of the circle of society and truly achieve freedom. Brother Sunny just yelled at Aunt Xia, and when he saw the director come out, he immediately changed into a respectful and smiling face, does it remind you of your little leader, in front of you and in front of the big boss?
Thinking back to yourself, in order to keep the job every day to stay up late and work overtime, in order to improve performance with customers drinking to vomit, in order to promote the door to the leader to give gifts? What does it look like to invite teachers to dinner for the sake of children's studies? Mixed in this group of society, who has not given tea to people to give up seats, who has not lit a cigarette to drink? Thinking back to my childhood, I always mocked the "dog legs" who moved stools and wiped the tables for the teachers, and contemptuously said that they were horse ass spirits. Now that I have entered the society, I am looking at the colleagues who light cigarettes for the boss and add water to the boss, and no one says that they are spirits, and they all say that they will come! After a long time in the cage, can you return to nature?
3. What kind of personality is Yin Tianqiu?
The king of comedy portrays the character of the task very deeply, and Yin Tianqiu is a kind, brave and stubborn person, especially his stubbornness and stubbornness are portrayed very deeply. Yin Tianqiu lives in society, but he does not look like a social person, he is stubborn to the point of only having his own dreams, he has his own ideas about performance, everything is only done according to his own ideas, and performance is only done according to his own theory. Brother Sunny asked him to improvise, but he finally told Brother Sunny that a person who has been hit too hard will enter a state of mental shock and will no longer react. Maybe his actor's self-cultivation is written that a person who has been hit too hard will enter a state of mental shock and no longer react, maybe he feels from real life, but is this the answer that Sunny brother wants to hear? Definitely not. The first time he acted with Cuckoo, he was naughty because he played the role of priest, he did not want to die, and was eventually kicked out of the set. As long as no one shouted to stop, he was always in the play. There are many more such examples. Is Yin Tianqiu wrong? As he asked Aunt Xia, "Did I do something wrong?" "I don't know what you're doing!" "Did I have a problem with my performance just now?" "I don't know what you're doing!" "He's not wrong, he just wants to be a child, he doesn't adapt to this society, he doesn't fully integrate into reality, people think he's very different, don't know what he's doing!"
If you think about it, there are many such other people in life, who seem to be very stubborn, have difficulty accepting the opinions of others, but have their own ideas and lifestyles. Like Mr. Shu played by Wang Baoqiang, stubbornly guarding his self-esteem, like Kong Yiji in the new era, people look very different, and everyone does not want to touch him and ignore him. Did he do anything wrong? He also lived stubbornly and humbly according to his own ideas.
4. What does the bento symbolize in the movie?
Eating a bento symbolizes eating the actor's meal, Yin Tianqiu has not succeeded in receiving the bento many times, which also shows that he has not been able to eat the actor's meal, and has always been a runner.
5. Is Yin Tianqiu just unlucky, so the dream has not been realized?
Yin Tianqiu played a dead body and was appreciated by Cuckoo, but accidentally made the set a bad one, and finally fled; as a cuckoo stand-in, he almost burned into a roast chicken, just about to become the main actor, but was taken away by the big brother, and could only regret to quit. Yin Tianqiu does seem to be really unlucky, but if you think about it, who can always have good luck? Life is not as good as nine times out of ten. Yin Tianqiu eventually played an undercover gunfight, in front of the three knife-licking underworld, Yin Tianqiu closed his eyes and killed the three without injury, can such a person say bad luck? If you choose one of the two good lucks of becoming an actor in the safety of life, which one will you choose? It is also this kind of bad luck that makes the movie more real and more suitable for life.
Heaven is fair, closing the door for you will also open a window for you, and where the window is, you need to find out with your own heart. Some people always gamble money to lose, but every exam must pass, some people often make mistakes in their work, but the family is harmonious, some people have a bad memory, but the ability to understand is very strong, life must be good at finding happiness, in order to be truly happy. So in the end, Yin Tianqiu lost the opportunity to become the male protagonist, but with the company of Liu Piaopiao, he can still live a very happy life.
6. Why didn't Yin Tianqiu and Liu Piaopiao get together for the first time?
After Liu Piaopiao spent the night at Yin Tianqiu's house, Yin Tianqiu's first thought when she got up in the morning was to give her all her belongings, and Liu Piaopiao went out to hide, failed to send it at the first time, chased for a long time before she had the courage to say that sentence: "I raise you", indicating that Yin Tianqiu's heart is very inferior and entangled, Yin Tianqiu did not have a serious job, and the neighborhood welfare in that era must have been no or extremely low salary, otherwise how could it give Liu Piaopiao all his belongings? He never had the courage to say that I raised you because he felt that he could not give her a happy life.
On the other hand, Liu Piaopiao, seeing the money given by Yin Tianqiu, threw her clothes on the ground, which also showed that Liu Piaopiao was also very angry in her heart, and Liu Piaopiao looked back at Yin Tianqiu's residence when she left the door, indicating that she was moved by the truth and hoped to be left behind. But why did Yin Tianqiu say that I raised you, she still couldn't stay, and finally sat in the car and couldn't stop crying. Her heart is also extremely entangled, she is a dancer who has been deeply hurt by people, she is worried that the other party looks down on her identity as a dancer, Yin Tianqiu can see it when she was beaten when she first said that she was a dancer. At the same time, she must also be very worried about her being hurt for the second time, after all, her contact with Yin Tianqiu is very short, and she has not yet prepared the courage to face a new life. So the two didn't get together in the first place.
Why has this paragraph become a classic, how many people in real life, worried that they are a poor boy, only dare to look from a distance, do not dare to confess to the goddess. And how many couples love how carefree they begin, and finally step into society and finally break up because of money. Ordinary couple Pepsi lament, people who have experienced it will inevitably be able to resonate with the love of Yin Tianqiu and Liu Piaopiao, is this not the love they hope for? There is no substance, only simple feelings, as "Later" sings, why can love at that time be so simple.
7. Why is this movie known as the King of Comedy?
Ancient people cloud, three great joys of life: he meets the old knowledge; the night of the cave flower candle, when the gold list is titled. Yin Tianqiu met Cuckoo who took care of him, harvested the love with Liu Piaopiao, and finally fulfilled the dream of starring, at the same time, the little in the movie put down the butcher knife, the undercover police punished the evil and promoted the good, the lady sitting on the stage looked back on the right track, everything is developing towards comedy, why can't you call him the king of comedy?
