A national idol who has been called a "pariah" since birth, this "Chinese" male god is of little use
In the end, it is still visible.
It was released on the 5th and had a box office of 300 million. Most importantly, the Douban score rose from 8.0 to 8.1, becoming the highest-rated work in the history of light animation.
"Chang'an 30,000 Li".
Sir talked about the film itself on the day of its release, but in the past few days, topics related to the work have emerged endlessly.
For example, "children's voices read ancient poems" in the cinema.
For example, the film itself adapts historical facts.
But my Lord is full of disguise, and there is actually only one thing, one person:
Li bai.
It is a name that has been praised for many years, at the same height as the Sheng Tang and even the Great Tang, but few people touched it in the era when we liked to sing praises.
I can not see you.
When looking for Douban.
The most famous series of "Li Bai" is still a documentary with a Douban score of 8.4, but it has only been viewed 1284 times.
I can not see you.
The "Li Bai" TV series starring Chen Jianbin.
It was completed in 2010 and still hasn't been delivered 13 years later.
Of course, Mr. also knows that the artist starred Pu Cunxin in the humanistic and artistic drama "Li Bai", which was selected as one of China's "century-old classics" along with classic dramas such as "Tea House".
However, few people have seen it.
Why?
In addition to the "big questions" of literary subjects (see The Golden Age).
In fact, this is probably Li Bai's "own problem."
Almost ten years ago.
The most successful result of Li Bai's image in film and television dramas may be Chen Kaige's "The Legend of the Demon Cat" in 2017, in which Xin Baiqing played a small supporting role.
When the film was released, his performance naturally received a standing ovation. In a very short time, he vividly showed famous scenes related to historical figures such as Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, which is indeed in line with the imagination of the Chinese people:
Confused, talented, elegant and unscrupulous, forgetful.
As Yang Guifei's concubine said, Great Tang, it's really remarkable that you came.
However, this is only symbolic of Li Bai.
This is an instrumentalized Li Bai.
Historically, Li Bai is actually a very complex person, so complex that he can "destroy" the imagination of many people and even challenge some traditional views of history.
For example.
There is a detail in "Chang'an 30,000 Li": Li Bai went to visit, but was rejected.
Why?
The opponent's reason was that he was a merchant, and the untouchables were the sons of untouchables, not even peasants.
In the comics, it takes a few seconds to show Li Bai "going crazy", laughing wildly, fighting with the air, and then he adjusts his mood, pretends to be relaxed, and invites Gao Shi (of course, Gao Shi's background is better than Li Bai) to drink, the son of a defeated general, as the saying goes, also "noble").
This madness moved the lord.
In fact, this is not the first time Li Bai has given a speech.
We could even say that.
He has been on the road of "help" for a long time all his life.
In front of the imperial court, Li Bai was essentially a sycophant character. In exchange for fame, he hopes to sell his poetic talents and realize his ambitions.
But at the same time.
He also wanted to preserve his literary style.
The result is more and more courage and loss of emotional intelligence. From the perspective of the time, Li Bai looked ridiculous in front of the big man.
Is he still the free-spirited Li Bai we call "laughing to the sky and going out"?
But actually.
In fact, all this laid the groundwork for his post-medieval personality transformation.
For example, marrying the granddaughter of a retired prime minister twice, going up the mountain to worship Taoism, is actually a road to ascension close to Princess Juzhen, during the Tianbao period, Yang Guozhong was in an embarrassing situation, and after the Ansi Rebellion, he turned to the rebels in a daze, thinking that he was the teacher who really helped in the court, and so on.
If we look at it according to modern psychology.
This is actually because he has been labeled a "pariah" since birth, and he has to endure class oppression as an adult. The spring can indeed spring higher under pressure, but it will gradually deform and eventually lose its elasticity.
This is the side of Li Bai as a social personality.
It can be said.
Although there are many problems in the script of "Chang'an 30,000 Li", some details, those that are not in compulsory textbooks or even in many Tang Dynasty-themed film and television dramas, are really moving.
At last.
For a long time, our tacit understanding was that we only showed a one-dimensional Li Bai, that is, his talent and lack of restraint, and we no longer wrote.
For example, people do not write about his "swelling":
The scene where Li Bai invites Gao Shi, Du Fu, Master Cen , Shan Qiusheng and others to drink in Liang Garden.
Li Bai gets drunk and invites Gao Shi to go sumo.
In the messy clothes, we saw that the six-pack abs of youth were washed away by the wine, and the wine belly bulged out.
Just to describe it as "old"?
No.
The meaning of the film is very clear. If Qingshan ends up in a prosperous place like Chang'an, it is like throwing a piece of good meat and blood into a hot pot to use an exaggerated metaphor.
Anyone will be burned and their face will be dark.
Compared to Li Bai.
Gao Shi either lived for a long time, studying in agriculture in his hometown, or guarded the frontier in the extremely cold land, but he maintained the spirit of youth ("30,000 li from Chang'an" protected Gao Shi to a certain extent).
For example, one would not write about his wife's disappointment:
At the end of the comic, Li Bai's wife decides to return to Lushan to live in seclusion, no longer asking him about the world, and the scene where he hides behind Li Bai to make a voice.
As a matter of fact.
Later, Li Bai's fans discovered his two grandsons, both married to local farmers, in obscurity. Fans expressed their readiness to help them remarry a gentleman, but they refused, saying that they would not have the face to visit their father underground (i.e. worship) in the future.
Indeed, Li Bai's descendants are no longer engaged in poetry.
Idle pen?
No.
The appearance of Mrs. Li is a female interpretation of the fate behind the male-dominated Chang'an stage. Of course, personality and interest do affect the formula.
With these details.
We recently made Li Bai widely known during the compulsory education stage. Not only did he have shining moments, but his poems not only taught us to love and not to dwell on self-gratification.
Through the smoke of history, we empathize and empathize:
When you come out to play, sooner or later you have to pay back, and the only way to be kind is to throw yourself away.
Our idol culture.
There will also be some dust on the body.
Speaking of which, Mr. actually refers to another cultural icon: Lu Xun.
She and Li Bai have a very consistent spiritual core: independent, wealthy, uninhibited, and generous.
Meantime.
Like Li Bai, he is rarely seriously mentioned in film and television dramas. Even in "The Golden Age", Wang Zhiwen played this role to a large extent in a very limited role, almost interpreting the school life in high school textbooks. "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is the same as Xin Baiqing, unfortunately, she suddenly stopped and retired after completing her supporting role mission.
Lu Xun in modern times, Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty.
It may appear again and again in film and television dramas.
But.
Often, only the images that we know and that are clear in our minds, symbolized and instrumentalized, appear.
As everyone knows.
Where there is no time to write, or where it cannot be written, it is precisely a "good example" of a writer who is born as a human being and influences the times by himself.
So the gentleman still has "greed":
Don't be afraid to touch real history.
And don't imagine everyone.
A person like Li Bai is not an appendage of anyone in history, nor is it a carved symbol that can be called.
He is an independent and great being.
Even if his words and deeds are classified as "naïve", there is no need to cover up.
Because all of this will eventually be incorporated into the poet's work and will be glorious, true, and have profound historical significance for the world.
So we need more and more complete "Chang'an 30,000 Li".
At last.
Li Bai's sword had just been drawn.
The pot just opened.
Don't stop and let more characters like this join in and become the protagonists.
