In December 2005, "Wuji" was released. This film, which was painstakingly and extremely optimistically favored by the great director Chen Kaige, encountered a "network Waterloo" that year.
At least, in Chen Kaige's eyes and heart at that time, it was an incident in which "soldiers can be killed without shame" incident.
The root of this "shame" is the fans' disapproval of the movie "Wuji".
The style of "Wuji" is like this:
In the wind, a huge begonia tree swayed, and petals flew around in the air. A ragged little girl broke the hand of the dead man and took out the bun from the dead man's hand. Soon, she is caught by a boy wearing a helmet, and in order to get the bun back, the little girl lies that the little boy's helmet is beautiful, and then, taking advantage of the boy's inattention, snatches the bun.
Little girl named Allure.
Little boy, named Wu Huan.
After this robbery game between children, the man god played by Chen Hong's sister appeared. She told Allure that she would have the most beautiful clothes in the world, the best food, and the favor of the strongest man, on the condition that Allure would never get true love, and even if she did, she would lose it immediately.
The ignorant Fallen City and mangos made the deal.
After 20 years, allure has indeed grown very much. She became a princess.
Wu Huan became a duke.
One day, WuHuan besieged the royal city. In the midst of the chaos, a masked man kills the king and robs the city, and afterwards, it is rumored that the man is the great general Guangming.
The city tossed and turned between Wu Huan, Guangming, and a slave named Kunlun.
At the end of the film, Wu Huan, played by Xiao Xie, unveils the mystery, and everything is because Allure snatched the steamed bun that year, causing him to no longer trust anyone, resulting in him not being able to be a good person.
To say, the picture of "Wuji" is beautiful, the reflection of the lake is beautiful, and the wooden house by the river is also beautiful. The aesthetics of the director.
However, fans do not buy the plot and the lines.
Ji Chen's criticism of the year:
1. The king's city is shaped like a mosquito coil. 2, Chen Hong's sister played the full god, long hair upright, beautiful is beautiful. However, it was laughed at by netizens that "how did Princess Taiping change her vest?" ” 3. The great general asked the slave Kunlun Zhang Dongjian, "Where are you from?" Zhang Dongjian said: I don't know. Netizens laughed, listened to the accent, and knew that these two brothers, one is Korean, the other is Japanese. 4. When Cecilia Cheung plays Allure, standing in the city tower and asking: Do you want to know, what I am wearing in this dress? The soldiers under the city tower were in a state of astonishment. At that moment, all the male fans laughed, is this still necessary to ask?
On December 18, 2005, a fan named Hu Ge walked out of the theater and decided to adapt "Wuji".
Before introducing this short video that later triggered a spoof frenzy, let's take a look at hu ge's history.
Graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, he loves music, and in his early years, his personal website name was "Hu Ge Made a Rice Bran Mu". He once said of himself, "What I do is mainly pure music, and the form is eclectic..."
Hugo is a ghost. This was already evident when he walked out of the theater.
In 10 days, the ideation, script writing, the lens of "Wuji" and the lens of a TV station's legal program were cleverly interspersed, coupled with Zhang Yu's "The Curse of the Moon" and other soundtracks, a stunning spoof short film came out.
In the world of "Wuji", the metaphor of fate of the gods has become a spoof of "a bloody case caused by a steamed bun".
The story under the begonia tree has also been adapted into "a small steamed bun leads to a shocking bloody case, and what should be an innocent child has caused a distortion of human nature because of a small matter..."
Compared with the film, the style of the "Steamed Bun Blood Case" video becomes like this:
1, Allure stands at the top of the temple, undressing, dressing, the narration is "Zhang Qingcheng was originally a ring set of ring entertainment city clothing model, the usual job is to keep getting dressed and undressing." ” 2. Wang stood at the top of the temple and spoke to the soldiers, which was parodied as "The central government's three orders and five declarations cannot default on the wages of migrant workers, but I still did not get my wages." ” 3. Slave Kunlun runs near the speed of light, and in the short film, Einstein's theory of relativity is used to explain the principle of turning back time. 4, Kunlun put people as kites, and in the hands of Hu Ge, the spoof became Chen Hong's sister to explain the principle of "people turning into kites" with centrifugal force.
Like a royal city of mosquito coils
Coupled with the short film interspersed with "escape brand sneakers" and "full of god brand jelly water", absurd narration, commentary, nonsense style, the whole video is laughable.
As soon as the "steamed bun blood case" flowed out, it got crazy clicks and views from netizens, and even triggered a wave of prank frenzy, and Hu Ge was known as the first person to prank China.
The incident was also stamped as "a landmark event in the development of online video in the mainland." ”
The human kite in the film
"Steamed Bun Video" made Hu Ge famous overnight, but it also brought him great trouble.
You think, investing 350 million directors, it was actually lost to the online short film of Doumi Xiaomin. It is tolerable, and it is intolerable. How could Chen Dao, who had a very high level of cultivation in traditional culture, endure this breath?
The prosecution and the court of prosecution, whether the short film is suspected of copyright, have also been discussed. After the public carnival, taking sides, netizens are more concerned about the existence and rationality of deconstruction and irony.
The "steamed buns" that jumped red were something Hu Ge did not expect. Being prosecuted was something Hu Ge had not expected.
More than a month later, Hu Ge apologized to Director Chen.
The tide of events has come to an end.
Very handsome little Xie classmate
Opened a precedent for "spoof video", and the short video with the people came to an end?
Even if Hu Ge is willing, the "steamed rice" may not be willing.
In February 2006, just as the "Steamed Bun Blood Case" came to an end, Hu Ge once again had a brilliant idea. A "Spring Festival Empire" was released; later, the funny short film "Birdcage Mountain Bandit" was broadcast.
However, whether it is the "Spring Festival" or the Birdcage Mountain, hu ge under the fame has not won a lot of applause.
Netizens said that there is no creativity in content injection. Hu Ge replied, and the script had problems.
Netizens said that the "Birdcage Mountain" innuendo is too much and cannot be digested. Hu Ge replied that short films are not movies and cannot be viewed by the standards of movies.
In short, from the "Steamed Bun Blood Case" to the "Bird Cage Mountain", netizens believe that the film of "Mantou Sect Leader" is not as good as one. After he became famous, the response was mediocre, just like Daolang.
As the short video of "Steamed Bun Blood Case" gradually subsided, Hu Ge also slowly faded out of people's vision.
But his interests, his preferences, his aura are still there.
In terms of knowledge, Hu Ge gave himself the label of "advertising film director".
Someone asked him, "Is it because I was banned by Chen Kaige because I didn't make movies?" ”
Hu Ge replied, no, it was his own bad luck.
The picture of "Wuji" is beautiful
He still has an opinion.
Seeing that Weibo netizens discussed that the four to-be-aired dramas of the Mist Theater should be stopped, he said that watching the titles of the four dramas was indeed doomed.
He still had ideas.
In response to why Netda is keen on monsters, he said that this is to achieve commercial success, monsters and disasters are the best choice, and the cost of disaster shooting is too high, then there are only monsters.
Hu Ge's post, in addition to the technical post, is a discussion about the movie's censorship.
Obviously, Hu Ge has a deep feeling for "shackles".
In Hu Ge's eyes, it is everywhere, it is light and heavy, it is unpredictable, and its impact is huge. Every topic about "shackles" always seems to attract his empathy. Even a topic about "Lu Xun crossed over to modern times, will he be a screenwriter and director" will not be very good, but also to attract his "please survive first" soul blow.
In October 2019, he released a short video "Human Body Express", which tells the story of a husband who risked taking the "human body express" of a courier company in order to rush back to Chengdu as soon as possible and accompany his wife who was waiting to give birth, but encountered a cloned change.
The brain hole is so big that it is not lost to science fiction films.
This science fiction short drama directed by Hu Ge and supervised by Yu Gang also won three awards at the 30th China Science Fiction Galaxy Awards.
In Douban, he left a message "Ugly for everyone". Bean friends said, not ugly, just don't know where to look.
Compared with the frenzy of the "Steamed Bun Blood Case", the number of viewers of "Human Body Express" is countless.
