In 1905, the film network special article era made heroes, su can is one of them. Because of the legendary descent of a beggar, he was also known as Su Qi'er. Su Qi'er's legendary life experience has been made into film and television works many times, creating an image of Su Qi'er that conforms to the folk imagination.
This week, the movie channel broadcast a total of three versions of Su Qi'er, from Zhen Zidan's version of "Hero Haojie's Su Qi'er" to Cao Jun's version of "Drunken Man Su Qi'er" to Zhou Xingchi's version of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", all with their own characteristics.
Zhou Xingchi's version of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", which was broadcast on November 5, uses a tragicomic way to interpret the fate of Su Qi'er's quite ups and downs, which is the most classic and the most deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Poster of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er"
With a small braid on his cape, Su Can, a second-generation official with great wealth and natural talent, acted in an arrogant and grotesque style.
Although he lives a life of spring breeze every day, he is not like the average clumsy boy, he is kind by nature.
"My husband wants to be under one person, above ten thousand people, martial arts in the world, and talented in the world, can you do it?"
Faced with Ru Shuang (Zhang Min), he fell in love at first sight and decided to take the Wuju Zhuangyuan and marry Ru Shuang.
Su Can and his father (Wu Mengda) and their family went north to compete, originally hoping to get a wonderful result, but they caused a lifetime of disasters.
Once a brocade of jade food, the eminent nobility in front of people, overnight, turned into nothing.
"Like a willow swaying with the wind, the vicissitudes of the past are rogue." Mandarin duck buckle, should not be dissolved, not tied; bitter love, can buy can not sell. Repent of the wrongs, how to get into a debt of wrongdoing, how to expect that when the credit is easy, it will be fast. ”
He did not cry, but casually lay down on his chair and sang the desolate and gentle southern tone "Red Candle Tears".
Master Shi came over to say goodbye to Su Can and instructed, "Young Master, from today onwards, you will seriously learn to write." Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Su Qi'er suddenly turned up and said simple four words: "I will learn." ”
The family property was copied, homeless, he and his father hooked up with each other and laughed and left, others did not understand, the family was still so happy, he knew that the tears flowed into his heart early.
There is no crying, no wailing, but infinite desolation is contained in it.
"I'm willing to be a beggar, but Heaven won't." The fate of begging for life and not being able to turn over was already in front of him, but Su Can did not accept his anger and accept his fate.
Originally, he wanted to sell art on the street and make a living, but he was broken by Zao Wou-Ki and abolished martial arts.
Because of his uncaring appearance, he annoyed the officers and soldiers of the forces, and they threatened Su Can with the safety of Su Father and forced him to eat dog food.
"I eat!" The once-indomitable pride is in vain.
The golden duo of Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi playing the scene of the father and son eating dog food together can be described as a famous scene in the film.
"Oh, Daddy, look at the shredded meat in it!" "What shredded meat?" It's a steak! The father and son knelt together in the snow, holding a bowl of dog rice and eating, leaving behind all the bitter bitterness and bitterness of dignity and pride.
If being robbed of his home is the beginning of the tragedy of Su Can's life, then begging in the snow and meeting his beloved like frost is the trough where Su Can really becomes nothing.
In order to maintain his last dignity, he plunged into the cinder, pretended not to know Rushuang, and said: "Miss, who are you looking for?" ”
Obviously a comical and futile act, it is a desperate, embarrassing, ashamed despair.
Until one day, after the beggar who had been rescued by Su Can thanked him for saving his life and passed on the stunt "Sleeping Dream Luohan Fist" to him, his fate changed.
He became the leader of the beggar gang, became the heir of the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon, and rescued ru frost as a connection, and fulfilled his wish.
We will remember that Su Qi'er's fate was finally changed, and we will not forget the sorrows when he became a beggar. But no matter whether he was proud of the spring breeze when he hugged the beauty and returned, or whether he was depressed because of the unfair fate, he still looked up to the sky and laughed.
In Stephen Chow's films, many of the characters he plays have the experience of being beaten to the point of being crushed to pieces and not being human.

"People laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others who can't see through it."
Each of the characters he plays is a mixture of tragedies and joys, and the great tragedies, love and hatred, and human feelings are vividly expressed, leaving a strong mark on the Hong Kong film industry in the golden age.
The tragedy of life, full of the spirit of resistance, is the tragic spirit of Stephen Chow's comedy that makes people cry.
Funny nonsense makes us laugh at times, sometimes beat our chests, and under the wrapping of comedy performance, the tragic social reality told makes us silently cry and fall into contemplation.
Life is such a mixture of joy and sorrow.
But just like the "endless sea of bitterness" written by Su Can after becoming a beggar, it will eventually be changed by Hong Qigong to "bitter and willing", there are tragedies in life, but tragedies are not life.
In Stephen Chow's films, we can always see hope from sadness, get more joy and upward motivation, and give us comfort in life.
At 20:15 on November 5th, the movie channel will broadcast "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" for you, so that we can believe even at the low point of life that even if life is very bitter, it can be bitter.
