In his testimonial, Wu Kequn mentioned the "testing ground of human nature".
Broadly speaking, placing a group of people in a pre-set situation can be called a "human nature experiment."
But when this word is usually mentioned, it usually refers to extreme environmental scenes, such as the popular Korean drama "Squid Game", and the dark and bloody Qiuzhuang Castle in the movie "The Wind".
Today's theme is: In this experiment of human nature, why did Bai Xiaonian become the first victim?
Yes, the five people who are planning in "The Wind", why was Bai Xiaonian the first to be selected?
In the original work, Bai Xiaonian graduated from Peiping Art College, and such a subject student is obviously eye-catching;
As a former famous Kunqu opera, under the dazzling reputation, Bai Xiaonian's heart must also be holy.
But in those chaotic times, the more beautiful, the more fragile; The more holy it is, the more it is to be stained, and the more shelter it needs.
So Bai Xiaonian ignored the name and became the "attendant officer" of the commander of the puppet army.
It is also a tacit "male pet" by everyone.
And Bai Xiaonian is simple.
He had no intention, he was dying to the end, and he didn't know if he was dead or alive, "I have everyone there with a black background, including yours; Perhaps, whose life will be taken. ”
He also spoiled and coquettishly, "I have one condition, that is, invite Commander Zhang to come, and I will not say anything unless he comes in person."
As a result, the commander came, and the commander did not look at him, picked up the whip, split his head and covered his face, and beat him to the bone.
Do you think that Bai Xiaonian died from his own stupidity, from the torture of the executioner, from the desperation of the commander?
No, he died on him by the times, full of malice.
We all know that Bai Xiaonian was suspected because his handwriting was similar to the handwriting on the notice.
In other words, before entering the Qiuzhuang, he had already been selected.
Perhaps, not only this time.
But what is he?
If it is said that because Bai Xiaonian has a backer, the safety will be higher, then doesn't Gu Xiaomeng himself also have a backer?
If it is said that Gan is a traitor and deserves to go to hell, but in the puppet government, how many people are clean?
Bai Xiaonian was the first to be selected, just because everyone despised him and did not treat him as a person.
A play, a male pet, dies and dies; It was his punishment that "ripped off his pants" with extreme insults.
The commander may have spoiled him, but he never valued him.
He is nothing more than a parrot in the commander's cage, and once the cage is about to break, the commander will first throw him out.
Everyone understands this, but Bai Xiaonian himself does not understand.
Bai Xiaonian's corpse soaked in sewage is like a struggle against a dirty world;
He was placed on the morgue as a tool to deter others, more like an offering and sacrifice.
In "The Wind", Bai Xiaonian went from presumptuous, to fear, to despair, and in the few scenes, Su Youpeng was fully presented.
Especially Bai Xiaonian's last look at the commander's eyes: I thought it was Gan Lin who was expecting it, but I didn't expect it to be a vicious knife.
The doubt, misery and despair in Bai Xiaonian's eyes could almost tear people's hearts apart.
Some people say that Su Youpeng's performance is a little too hard, but I think that a "drama", enchanting manners, speaking voice will be unbroken, these performance traces are precisely caused by the personality of the character, and at the same time highlight the sense of fragmentation of the character to the extreme.
A "The Wind", gathering the best immortal actors in China, and even a small supporting role, are all real and powerful.
Since its broadcast in 2009, the show has been nominated for a total of 19 awards.
Among them, Li Bingbing and Su Youpeng won the 46th Golden Horse heroine and the 30th Hundred Flowers male match.
Why these two?
Taking Su Youpeng as an example, in addition to the performance level mentioned above, what is more important is that he accurately interprets the sense of tragedy in Bai Xiaonian.
If Zhou Xun and Zhang Hanyu are acting in the plot and playing justice, then Li Bingbing and Su Youpeng are playing fate, tragedy, and the sense of nothingness imposed on them by the times.
The role of Bai Xiaonian, from appearance to temperament, has many hard requirements, Su Youpeng's personal efforts need not be said, and his grasp of the heart of this character is the focus.
On November 12, Su Youpeng appeared as the guest of honor at the 35th Golden Rooster Award Ceremony.
In addition to the popularity that Su Youpeng has recently gained in Phi Ge and his directorial identity, this is also due to the heavy weight that Bai Xiaonian brought to Su Youpeng.
The success of this role is undoubtedly an important symbol of Su Youpeng's success in transforming from an idol star to a powerful actor.
There is still a long way to go, and this time out of the circle like a dimensionality reduction blow in Phi Ge undoubtedly made the audience have more expectations for Su Youpeng.
Finally, I want to go back to the beginning and say a few words about Wu Kequn by the way.
There is a kind of person in life who looks like a thorn on the surface, but once this kind of person becomes a friend, it is easy to take out people's hearts and lungs.
I think Wu Kequn roughly falls into this category.
At first impression, Wu Kequn does not seem to be easy to get along with, he always seems to have a strong energy, and is always vigilant to the outside world,
And this is precisely his protective color, and it is also where his inner sensitivity and vulnerability lie.
Phi Ge gave the term "human nature testing ground" at the end of the curtain, indicating what Wu Kequn felt.
He is simple, and this simplicity is based on His goodness; He is also brave, so he said when he thought about it, whether it was particularly suitable or not, whether it would offend people.
Including his SOLO on the stage of "Father Chasing the Sun", he thought about it and did it, and the low score does not indicate the failure of the work itself.
On the podium, as the captain who did not even enter the top 10, Wu Kequn was a little awkward and a little embarrassed.
But didn't he stumble all the way?
When it was announced that Wu Kequn had entered the group, I believe many people breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, we are not like this in life.
Knowing that it is impossible to do, but still having to face difficulties, obviously making great efforts, but often making wedding clothes for others.
This is why Wu Kequn captured many people.
He is not perfect, but he is alive; He wasn't the best, but he was the hardest.
Feeling sorry for Wu Kequn is actually feeling sorry for ourselves...
