At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist Yin Tianqiu shouts "hard work" to the sea, which sets the tone for the whole movie.
Dragon set actor Yin Tianqiu is obsessed with acting but has never been ambitious, but he has never given up, and still does not hesitate to look for opportunities.
Even if he is just a humble temporary dragon set actor on the set, looked down upon by the people around him, and blinded by the eyes, Yin Tianqiu always believes that "extras are also actors", and calls his aunt's phone over and over again to find performance opportunities.
For the dream of an actor, Yin Tianqiu hid in a cramped room, read and studied "The Self-Cultivation of Actors" day and night to learn acting skills, cheered himself up in the mirror every day, even if no one watched, he insisted on rehearsing the stage play "Thunderstorm" in the community.
Even after being sneered at, Yin Tianqiu has always regarded himself as "I am an actor" and spared no effort to teach hooligans and prostitutes to act. Even if he was ridiculed, he was willing to act as a dead body with a face covered with mud.
Although life is not easy, the acting career is not smooth, and there is unspeakable bitterness in his heart, Yin Tianqiu has never given up, and has always been obsessed with his dream of being an actor and making unremitting efforts for it. Even, sometimes his attachment to the actor's dream makes people laugh and make people feel sad.
Yin Tianqiu's first performance was smashed, Sunny Brother removed him from the list of extras, let him go home and think about how to die, but he naively thought that there was still a chance to perform, he had been thinking about various ways to die at home, and also ran to "make friends" with Sunny Brother, but finally was ruthlessly ridiculed by Sunny Brother.
In order to rehearse the stage play "Thunderstorm", Yin Tianqiu could not find the actors, and had to turn to a group of hooligans and begged them to come and perform together. There was no audience in the show, and he threatened and seduced the children, and scared the children into crying.
In order to seek the opportunity to perform, Yin Tianqiu was a dead body covered with mud, remembering the lesson, and did not dare to be sloppy in his work, even if he was punched and kicked, the pain was terrible, his arm burned into chicken wings, the director did not shout to stop, he did not dare to make any reaction.
Although sometimes the focus and persistence make people laugh, no matter how many setbacks he encounters, Yin Tianqiu always inspires himself with dreams, and has always persevered and worked hard for it.
Yin Tianqiu's concentration and persistence, although it is sad, is awe-inspiring, and he sighs at the greatness of his dreams. Even in the end, Yin Tianqiu did not realize his dream of being an actor, but he seemed particularly great and respectable - the meaning of the dream lies in whether you believe and make unremitting efforts and efforts for it, all the dreams that have been struggled, even if they are not realized in the end, are still worthy of respect, and there will inevitably be gains on the road to the dream, and these harvests are the most precious wealth of the dream.
"The King of Comedy" makes people see themselves from Yin Tianqiu's body, and his heart is deeply touched, Yin Tianqiu's efforts and persistence tell us that those setbacks in life will turn into a driving force for moving forward with dreams, inspiring us to boldly chase dreams and bravely move forward.
In addition to expressing the main theme of pursuing and persevering in dreams, "The King of Comedy" expresses another deep meaning - even inconspicuous little people have the right to defend their dignity.
Yin Tianqiu and Liu Piaopiao, one is a dead dragon set, the other is a sitting lady, both of them are small people who are not in the flow, they are disliked and looked down upon in the world, but they are defending their dignity all the time.
In order to realize his dream of being an actor, Yin Tianqiu repeatedly acts as an insignificant dragon set actor, and is ridiculed by the people around him, but he always insists that "in fact, I am an actor" and has been defending his dignity as an actor.
The uncle who manages the rice looks down on Yin Tianqiu every time, mocks him in every way, and prefers to dump the box lunch rather than give him food, but Yin Tianqiu has always felt that the extra actor is also an actor, eating the box lunch is deserved, he has never given up the fight for the box lunch, even if the knife is on the neck, he also wants to get back his three box lunches.
Yin Tianqiu wants to eat a box lunch, in fact, is to defend his dignity as an actor, the box lunch is a symbol of the actor's identity, Yin Tianqiu finally ate the box lunch is equivalent to him defending dignity, the uncle really recognized his actor identity, so finally there was an undercover uncle asked him to play a takeaway, to assist the police to capture the criminal wonderful scene.
No matter in front of anyone, Yin Tianqiu vigorously defended his faith and defended his dignity as an actor.
Liu Piaopiao came to learn acting skills from Yin Tianqiu, and repeatedly ridiculed Yin Tianqiu as a "dead runner dragon set", and Yin Tianqiu solemnly advised the other party: "If you want to ask me to run a dragon set, can you not add the word 'death' in front." The implication is that you must not denigrate my profession, let alone trample on my dignity.
Yin Tianqiu has always lived to defend his dignity, and Liu Piaopiao is no exception. As a prostitute, Liu Piaopiao is not welcomed by the world, is despised by others, and her dignity is trampled on, but her inner self-esteem is very strong, and she always does not want others to treat her as a prostitute, and she is also trying to defend her dignity.
In the process of teaching him acting, Yin Tianqiu inadvertently said that she was out to sell, which hurt Liu Piaopiao's self-esteem, and she immediately became angry, picked up the bench and beat Yin Tianqiu fiercely. The reason why Liu Piaopiao reacted so strongly was because she could not tolerate others trampling on her dignity in person.
After falling in love with Yin Tianqiu, Liu Piaopiao strengthened her belief in guarding dignity. She resolutely refused the unreasonable request of Young Master Long, no matter how Young Master Long punched and kicked, she refused to bow her head and compromise, her inner thoughts never wavered, even in the face of the huge temptation of money, she always maintained her original intention, did not flinch, and guarded her self-esteem to the end.
Even if they are unremarkable, no one cares, no matter how humble their lives are, they still live to defend their dignity all the time. Even if they are humble, small people have the right to defend their dignity.
The most touching place of "The King of Comedy" is the love between Yin Tianqiu and Liu Piaopiao, and the most beautiful love words are the sentence "I raise you".
Yin Tianqiu and Liu Piaopiao, one is a depressed dragon set actor, the other is a dancer who is accustomed to wind and dust, they are both humble and tragic little people. The tragedy of Yin Tianqiu is that he is still clinging to his dreams, he has hope but he is empty, his days are still poor, and his dreams are still out of reach. Liu Piaopiao's tragedy lies in believing that love has fallen into a terrible situation, but still stubbornly believing in love.
Fortunately, however, two humble little people meet together and spark love, she becomes his only audience, and he becomes her haven from the wind.
As a sitting lady, Liu Piaopiao has long seen the various corners of the mouth on the wind and moon field, the appearance seems cynical, but the heart is actually extremely inferior, only to meet Yin Tianqiu, let her have a feeling of first love, really have an unprecedented sense of security.
Yin Tianqiu never despised her, and spared no effort to help her improve her acting skills so that she could cope with the difficult customers at the wine table. The men in the wind and moon field are either hypocritical or spend money to find fun, Liu Piaopiao's real desire is only the true love of others, and what Yin Tianqiu does is sincere, which deeply attracts her.
The two little people are in a similar predicament, struggling in life, the two have the same feeling, they hug each other for warmth, encourage each other to support each other, and then have a night of warmth. Yin Tianqiu himself was poor and destitute, and the only thing he could do was to give Liu Piaopiao all his wealth and the "Self-Cultivation of Actors" that he regarded as a treasure, and he poured everything he had for Liu Piaopiao, which was his greatest love for the other party.
Despite his limited ability, Yin Tianqiu still bravely confessed and boldly shouted to Liu Piaopiao, "I raise you." Dreams are ridiculed, life is poor, in this case, Yin Tianqiu can say such a thing, how much courage and responsibility is needed. For Yin Tianqiu, the greatest sorrow in life is to meet the person who wants to take care of his life when he is most incompetent.
No rhetoric, no flower romance, a sentence of "I raise you", simply and directly shouted out Yin Tianqiu's love and responsibility, instantly tearful, and moved Liu Piao to tears.
As a sitting lady, Liu Piaopiao's cynical appearance hides an extremely inferior psychology, she lives a very humble life, and does not dare to ask for the love of others, when Yin Tianqiu confessed to her affectionately, she was very happy in her heart, but she also pretended to be dismissive, mockingly: "First raise yourself, fool", after sitting on the car, she picked up Yin Tianqiu's "Self-Cultivation of Actors", held it in her chest, and cried heartily. Yin Tianqiu paid her heart for her "ruined family", but she herself did not dare to accept this humble true love, and could only stab the other party with sarcastic words as always, covering up her fragile heart.
Liu Piaopiao felt that Yin Tianqiu's life was poor and miserable, there was no money, no bread to talk about love, what could two little people who lived so humblely even if they were together? It wasn't until she made a lot of money that she realized at that moment that what she really needed was not money, but love, and only love could make her truly happy. Therefore, she boldly showed love to Yin Tianqiu in front of her idols and competed with idols for boyfriends.
And Yin Tianqiu treated her sincerely as always, for this humble love, he was forced to give up his dream of being the male protagonist of the opportunity, even if he lost his dream, he did not regret his commitment to Liu Piaopiao.
The love of Yin Tianqiu and Liu Piaopiao, these two little people, there is no rhetoric, there is no deep romance, they want to love directly, they want to do it directly, "I raise you" Such a confession is simply direct, but full of weight, deep affection, deeply touching.
"The King of Comedy" is regarded as a classic, and what it really wants to express is these three connotations: even if it is not smooth, you must insist on your dreams; even the inconspicuous little people must defend their dignity and the love of the little people. Only by understanding these three connotations, you can truly understand this movie.
