At first glance at "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", I thought it was a pure costume comedy, you would laugh; if you look at it again, you would inexplicably want to cry, which is clearly a tragedy.
If you read this article again, you will feel that this is an unparalleled historical film.
Su Can, played by Xingye
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >01, who is Daddy</h1>?
In "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", Su Qi'er, played by Xingye, was formerly known as Su Chahar Can.
However, do you know what the name of the father played by Uncle Da is?
Uncle Da's father, the sound is like a look
Don't look it up, his name is not on the cast list at the end of the movie.
However, Xiaobian knows!
Papa's name was Sochahar Benzhi.
The Suchahar clan was originally called the Chahar clan, from the Golden Family, and was a descendant of Genghis Khan.
After the establishment of the Later Jin (the predecessor of the Qing Dynasty), the 35th Great Khan of Mongolia, Lin Dan Khan, broke up with the Later Jin.
In the sixth year of Tiancong (1632), Emperor Taiji rebelled against Lin Dan Khan, and Lin Dan Khan fled to Qinghai.
In the eighth year of Tiancong (1634), Lin Dan Khan died of illness in Dacaotan, Qinghai, and the following year, after his son Erzhe surrendered to Jin, the Mongol Empire collapsed, and his descendants were incorporated into the Mongolian Eight Banners (Mongolian White Flag).
Gu Halun, the grandson of Lin Dan Khan, was brave and good at war, became a close confidant of the Emperor Taiji, fought against the Ming for a long time, fought in the southern and northern wars, made great military achievements, and was made the Duke of Zhenguo.
Gu Harun's third son, Tubtu, because he had long served as an envoy to Jiangsu, lived in Suzhou and changed the Chahar clan to "Su Chahar" in accordance with the Mongolian tradition of dividing the family by tribe.
In the first shot of the opening scene of the movie, the portrait of the ancestor that appears is the official costume photo of Tubtu.
Stills of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", this is a real photo of history
In the eighteenth year of Jiaqing (1813), Tubtu's grandson Suchahar Benzhi became a general in Guangzhou.
So, Daddy's name is Suchahar Benzhi!
How good is the Guangzhou general who is the father?
General Guangzhou, one of the fourteen garrison generals of the Qing Dynasty, was the highest commander of the Eight Banner Army of the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong, and could also control all the green battalion soldiers in a province in Guangdong Province, with the rank of Congyipin.
The general of Guangzhou was directly responsible to the emperor, and all the movements of the Eight Banner Soldiers under his command were only obeyed by the emperor, and everyone else could not obey.
The Qing Dynasty stipulated that the garrison general who was stationed in the same city as the governor, if they were to play together, was led by a general.
In other words, the status of the general of Guangzhou is higher than that of the viceroy of Liangguang (small point of real power)!
Moreover, all the garrison generals of the Qing Dynasty only used the sons of the nobles of the Manchu Han and Mongolian Eight Banners, and none of the others would be allowed to hold this official position.
Therefore, The father can cover the sky with one hand in the two Guangdong areas.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02, time</h1>
When did the movie take place?
No need to check, director Chen Jiashang did not say.
But Xiaobian knows.
The film takes place in the eighteenth year of Jiaqing (1813)!
Portrait of the Jiaqing Emperor
On September 15 of that year, the eunuchs in the Forbidden City of the Qing Empire launched a eunuch uprising.
The eunuchs set up a "command center", with Chen Shuang as the "commander", and the eunuch team of the uprising was divided into the east and west armies.
Led by Liu Chengxiang, the Eastern Route Army was responsible for attacking Donghuamen under the guidance of the eunuch Liu Decai; the Western Route Army, led by Chen Wenkui, attacked Xihuamen under the leadership of eunuchs Yang Jinzhong and Gao Guangfu.
They stayed in the palace for a long time, and they knew better than anyone which road was near and which road was far.
The eunuchs planned to kill the emperor's second son Min Ning (later The Daoguang Emperor) first, and then kill the current emperor Jiaqing.
Eunuchs can't be emperors, so why should they rebel?
Because, there are people behind them.
This person is the historical prototype of the movie boss Zao Wou-Ki - Lin Qing, the leader of the Tianli Sect.
Stills of Zao Wou-Ki played by Xu Shaoqiang,
Xu Shaoqiang once helped Xingye when he was in the scenery, and then he was banned for more than ten years for some reason, and it was Xingye who pulled him and let him play Zao Wou-ki, and since then the salted fish has turned over.
In the play, Zao Wou-Ki said that the young man did not know the height of the sky, and it was not only said by Zao Wou-ki to Su Can, but also by Xu Shaoqiang to himself.
Tenrikyo is a branch of the White Lotus Sect that takes rebellion as its vocation.
Lin Qing himself is a north drifter, who has been mixing in the capital for a long time, and he has not mixed up a personal appearance.
One day, he suddenly opened his mind: Why don't I become emperor myself?
Therefore, he reorganized the Tianli Sect into a cult that expelled the Manchu Qing royal family, established his own dynasty, and led his brothers to enjoy the glory and wealth.
The Lin Sect Leader is a native of Hejian Province, and Hejian is the "eunuch base", and most of the eunuchs in the palace are the fellow villagers of the Lin Sect Leader.
Lin Qing often preached in the palace and absorbed countless eunuchs as believers.
Master Lin Da said to his fellow villagers, "Whoever loses a hundred dollars will get a piece of land", as long as you pay a little bit of something, I will give you a hundred times the return.
These eunuchs who were not famous in the palace did not mix for this empty cheque, and did the opposite!
However, during the uprising, there was a oolong, and the Jiaqing Emperor went hunting in Chengde, not in the palace; only the emperor's second son Mianning was there. After he got the report, he sharpened his knife and gun and prepared for battle.
More importantly, the two armies of the Tianli Sect were greedy for money, and those who took revenge for their personal revenge had missed the fighter plane and ruined great things.
"The thief entered the inner right door and went to the south of the Yangxin Hall, intending to sneak north. The Upper Emperor shot the second thief, and the remaining thieves broke up and the chaos began to settle. ”
- Draft History of the Qing Dynasty, Vol. XVII
Mianning mobilized the army and commanded the round-up.
Soon, more than a thousand people from the firearms battalion entered the Forbidden City and launched an encirclement and suppression operation.
And the receiving troops of the Lin Da Sect Leader were never seen from the beginning of the uprising to the end of the uprising.
In the end, the uprising failed, and all the participants, including Master Lin Da, were killed, which was weaker than Zao Wou-ki.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03、Bug</h1>
Eighteen years after Jiaqing, the Jiaqing Emperor is 53 years old, but the emperor in the movie is a young man.
Because there was a big bug in the movie.
The film also has a villain named Monk Greenqin.
Stills of Senggelinqin
The historical monk Gelinqin was the 26th generation grandson of Genghis Khan Temujin's second brother, Humble Chihesar, born in the sixteenth year of Jiaqing (1811), and killed in the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865) during the attack on the Twist army.
He was only two years old in Jiaqing eighteen years, and the young emperor in the movie was more like the Xianfeng Emperor, the grandson of the Jiaqing Emperor.
"The Hunting Scroll of Prince Monk Zhong" (partial, the person in the brown horse coat and blue robe in the painting is monk Greenqin)
More importantly, although the protagonist Su Qi'er is not found in the historical records, he is a figure at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were ten martial arts masters in Guangdong, known as the Ten Tigers of Guangdong, they were yinlin, the king of chivalry boxing, Huang Chengke of Jiulong fist, Su Heihu of Tiesha palm, Huang Qiying of shadowless feet (Huang Feihong's father), zhou tai of soft cotton palms, Li Renchao of Seven Star Fist, Tan Jijun of Heyang Fist, Chen Tiezhi of Eagle Claw King, Sanliang Kun of Tieqiao, and Su Can of Drunken Fist.
Su Qi'er, Su Can, Su Chahar Can, this is all a person, but director Chen Jiashang came to the pen and changed the drunken fist to the Sleeping Luohan Fist...
"Hero Guangdong Ten Tigers" Su Can stills
That is to say, Zao Wou-Ki and Lao Dad, as well as the main story, are from the Jiaqing period; the monk Gelinqin is from the Xianfeng period; and Su Can is from the last year of the Qing Dynasty.
Historical figures of different periods are perfectly integrated, there is reality in the virtual, there is virtual in the virtual, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
That's the real pro – this story is pure fiction!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >04, all tears</h1>
Next, the climax of the movie came.
After Su Can participated in the martial arts, he suddenly suffered.
When he and Bodardo engaged in the final battle of Wu Zhuangyuan, his weapons were transferred, and the referee sided with Bodardo, blatantly favoring him.
Bodardo
Because Bodardo was the nephew of the monk Gelinqin.
Su Can can rely on his father to do whatever he wants in Guangzhou, but when he arrived in Beijing, the background was deeper than that of his father, the official position was higher than that of his father, and the monk Greenqin, who was more powerful than his father, reversed everything.
How Su Can bullied others in Guangzhou, the monk Greenqin bullied him.
Although Su Can won the battle against Bodardo, the referee still decided that Su Can lost because of the first landing of his ass.
Stills of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", is Xingye only satirizing the referee?
This is clearly a metaphor for power!
However, Bodardo cocooned himself and died under the poisonous arrow given to him by Zao Wou-Ki, so Su Can obtained Wu Zhuangyuan (Note: In the movie, Wu Zhuangyuan is set above ten thousand people under one person, which is not in line with real history).
Then, the foreshadowing of Su Can's inability to write came.
Zao Wou-Ki accused Su Can of cheating on the written test.
Su Can also cocooned himself, and in an instant, he fell from Wu Zhuangyuan to being raided by the emperor and sentenced to be a beggar.
As a result, Su Can fell from heaven to hell in an instant, and the whole movie changed from comedy to making people want to cry.
In the movie, Su Can's life changes, singing Nanyin when raiding the house (this is a play designed by Xingye himself, director Chen Jiashang directly calls genius), when Shiye advised him to read and write well, he suddenly woke up and solemnly said "Master, I will" (later Su Can's prodigal son turned back and really learned to write).
There is also Su Can's deep affection for Ru Frost, and the old father's affection for Su Can's father and son, and every scene makes people cry a lot.
At the end of the film, Su Can said to the emperor, how many beggars there are in the world is not decided by me, but by you, if you are really wise and divine, so that Guotai Min'an, who is still willing to be a beggar.
Such a philosophical line, to this day, still have endless memories.
Xiaobian has always felt: Star Ye's movie, when he was young, it was a joke, and now he looks at it is life, if he watches more times in the end, he will have three words: all tears!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >05, detail easter eggs</h1>
"Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" is not just a simple hodgepodge of historical figures and events from different periods.
The details are endless!
The book in the background of the title
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > detail one:</h1>
The book in the background of the title is Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Collection"!
It is a day, the sky is clear, the wind is harmonious and smooth. Looking up at the size of the universe and looking down at the grandeur of the category, so the wandering eyes are full of nostalgia, which is enough to entertain the audiovisual and visual, and the letter Coke is also.
Lady of the Eye, Bow I. Or take it in the arms of all, and realize it in one room; or because of the entrustment, outside the wandering skeleton.
Although the fun is different, the quiet is different, when it is happy to meet it, it is temporarily gained by itself, it is quick and self-sufficient, and it does not know that old age is coming; and what it is tired of, the feelings move with things, and the feelings are related.
Between the joy of the place and the pitching, it has become a vestige, and it is still impossible not to be happy with it, and the condition is short and easy, and the end is over!
The ancients said: "Death and life are also great." "Wouldn't it hurt! Every time you look at the reasons for the people's interest in the past, if they are united, they are not without mourning, and they cannot be described in their hearts.
Gu Zhiyi is a false birth after death, and Qi Peng is a vain act. Looking after the present, and looking at the past as it is, sad man!
——Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Collection"
Draw the point, "Pitch A, outside the wandering skeleton, solidly know that death and life are illusory."
This is exactly the portrayal of Su Qi'er's life from a clumsy child to a beggar!
Make a table background
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > detail two:</h1>
Noticed the background of the production sheet at the beginning of the movie?
Do you think it is still Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Collection"?
No, you've hit the jackpot.
This is the Northern Song Dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu's Xingshu Tuobao, which is the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao's "Fenghe Xu Zhi Ye Zhi Jian Zhu Gong".
Xiye Huangshu is near, and Dongcao Purple Forbidden Lian.
The land is worshipped by talents, and people use the province to move.
The night is straight and quiet, and the river is hanging in vitro.
Jianzhang's night leaks urgently, and the bell is passed on.
Pamper the sable cicada, en-deep obedience year.
Nine was first drafted and completed in five nights.
Self-care is unofficial, but self-pitying.
Far away with Lan's signature, empty this look up to the gods.
- Cui Hao, "Bong He Xu Zhi Zhi Zhi Jian Zhu Gong"
This is the most typical test poem, written to the examiner when Cui Hao took the imperial examination.
The director uses this to suggest that Su Qi'er will participate in the imperial examination (martial arts)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > detail three:</h1>
When Su Can took the martial arts written test, two ancient poems were written on the folding fan.
Su Can's folding fan
One is the Tang Dynasty poet Dai Shulun's "Repatriation"
The bright moon is near the sea, and the idle clouds love the old mountain.
The poems are famous all over the world, and they are hidden all day long.
- Dai Shulun in "Xingxing"
This poem is a metaphor for Su Can's ambition to win wu zhuangyuan.
One is Bai Juyi's "Farewell to the Ancient Grass"
Away from the grass on the original, one year old and one withered away.
Wildfires burn endlessly, and spring winds blow again.
Yuanfang invaded the ancient road, and Qingcui took over the deserted city.
He sent Wang Sun to go again, and he was full of affection.
——Bai Juyi, "Farewell to the Ancient Grass"
This is another trial poem, which is more a metaphor for Su Can's conceit, and at the same time a metaphor for Su Can's like a weed, unforgiving.
This is by no means casually fiddled with by director Chen Jiashang.
A cultured person makes a movie, and it is so connotative, saying that the director is not well-intentioned, I do not believe it.
Finally, brushing "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" again, inexplicably remembered the Uncle Da who made people laugh and cry...

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">PS:</h1>
This is the correct way to shoot historical film and television dramas.
How to make a historical film?
The first: The historical drama should follow the historical event context and restore the historical figures as truly and objectively as possible.
The second kind: it is to joke about history, the characters can be false, but the historical background is real.
Characters spliced together through fictional or flower-shifting trees in the film reflect the values of historical figures in a specific historical context.
For example, photographing Huo's illness can fictionalize the characters who witnessed the growth of Huo's illness, and through his perspective, portray the life of Huo's illness and depict the historical background of the Han-Hungarian War.
The best use of this technique is the American film Pearl Harbor.
Several of the protagonists of the movie "Pearl Harbor" are fictional, but the Pearl Harbor incident reflected in the movie and the props that appear in the movie are highly restored to the real history.
Through the perspective of these fictional little people, the audience has a better understanding of the historical Pearl Harbor incident.
The third kind: is Xingye's "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", director Chen Jiashang did not want to make a historical film at all, but the historical deeds, historical backgrounds, and even props he used in order to serve the plot are real and meaningful. Such a historical background makes the whole movie extremely meaningful.
Unfortunately, many directors now don't think so, shooting Huo to go sick is to shoot Huo to go to the disease, you have to make a whole Huo go sick to fall in love with the Xiongnu princess plot, but also in the name of historical drama, isn't this disgusting?
There are also directors, the characters are fictional, but the historical background in the movie is simply that the wind and horses are not compatible, shooting the Eighth Route Army against Japan, painting wax, wearing leather clothes, holding submachine guns, tearing devils... Is that like words? Will the audience buy it?
Directors, if you really want to make an excellent historical theme film and television drama, learn "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er".
Note: This article is adapted after watching the film review video of Bai Xiaosheng's "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er".
Bai Xiaosheng's interpretation of the film is very different, and he has benefited a lot.
