"Send Me to Qingyun", when I first heard the title, I was moved: Is there any connection between this movie and Xue Baochao in "Dream of the Red Chamber"?
Seeing that many netizens could not watch the movie as desired due to the scheduling problem on the Internet, I lived outside the sixth ring road of Beijing, quickly searched the nearest theater and found that the queue was still good, and there were four shows a day.
I chose the morning show, and as a result, I watched the private show for forty yuan, so I had the most wonderful movie-watching experience in my life, and I threw myself into the plot without interference.
This is a film that has been dubbed a "female perspective", produced and starred by Yao Chen, so I have great expectations.
As I suspect, the title of the film is indeed related to Baochao, and the film borrows the mouth of Liu Guangming (Yuan Hong) to instill the idea of "good wind with strength, send me to Qingyun".
Director Teng Congcong said at the premiere that this is a brave film, "You can see "Shangqing Yun" as a woman's 'sex- journey,' but in the final analysis, everyone will see that what is retained in women's hearts is still that love." ”
This film is also a brave attempt by Yao Chen to try to break a way out for middle-aged actresses.
Therefore, we can also understand the Shangqing cloud of Sheng Nan in the play as Yao Chen's Shangqing Yun.
However, Yao Chen's Qingyun was quite awkward, at least not successful enough compared to Baochao.
The main reason was that Yao Chen borrowed The skin of Qingyun on Baochao, but failed to borrow Baochao's bone.
Beauty in the bone is not in the skin, if women to independence as beauty, then Yao Chen's portrayal of sheng men, can not become the representative of independent women. All her difficulties stem from her original family, or in other words, from the antagonism with the original family, not from the society.
Was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, the operation cost of 300,000 yuan, but her account only 30,000, huge vacancies, look around, from parents to colleagues, there is no one to ask for help.
Miserable or not? Of course it's tragic, and it's particularly tragic.
What to do? I had to solve it myself, so at the suggestion of my colleagues, I went against my professional ideals to write an autobiography to the father of an unscrupulous entrepreneur, and the remuneration was just enough to fill the gap in the surgical fee.
As a journalist, her professional ideal is not to compromise with evil and insist on restoring the truth.
Ironically, she doesn't believe in the truth, or she doesn't believe in truth, that there is true love in the world.
Therefore, the world in her eyes is gray, which becomes the color tone of the entire film.
How can such a mentality not be independent? But this kind of independence is not independence in the true sense, but to establish a safe zone for oneself, not to let people get close, nor to get close to others.
Driven by this mentality, the people in her eyes have various weaknesses of human nature that she is not accustomed to: the fifty-year-old mother is still a young girl psychologically; the father who is a successful businessman has cheated on his daughter's classmates for ten years; the work partner is a journalist just to build connections so that he can become rich as soon as possible; the male god she meets is actually a soft rice man...
In her eyes, everyone is not normal, women are either stupid and sweet, husbands cheating on her for ten years are ignorant, or they are liars, using misery to win sympathy; men are either worldly, greasy, or cowardly.
In fact, what is really abnormal is herself, who has put a filter on her eyes, and the whole world has turned gray.
If there was no cancer, she might have gone on like this, cynical, unaccustomed to it, and didn't care if people got off the stage, thinking that everyone was drunk and she was awake, and she was the only clean person in the world.
What caused her self-enclosed mentality? It turned out that when she was ten years old, she experienced psychological abandonment. When everyone around her hated her, her parents stood against her and also hated her.
Since then, she no longer believes in love, her parents gave her the best material life, but she lives in the loneliness of no one to care for.
This is a phenomenon that parents often appear in their children's education and are easily overlooked, parents think that they have given their children the best love, but children feel that they live in the desert of love.
Until an argument with her mother, the silly white sweet mother in her eyes told the truth: "I gave birth to you at the age of 19, and I don't know how to be a mother." ”
Isn't this a universal phenomenon? How many women know how to be a mother? How many men know how to be fathers?
Because we don't understand, we all have to grope forward, and when parents are derelict in their duties, children have to learn to grow themselves, not to close themselves off.
In the end, it is the mother who opens the knot for Sheng Nan, because of her innocence and simplicity, because she has always retained the vitality in her heart.
The vitality of his mother's life awakened Old Master Li who was waiting for death on the mountain, and Old Master Li woke up Sheng Nan.
He told her, "Love is the door of life and death." ”
I think this sentence is the finishing touch of the film.
Asking for sex from the man you meet is not brave, enjoying self-orgasm is not brave, opening the door of the heart to love, letting the desire in the heart become a surging vitality, is brave.
Love returned, Sheng Lan went to Qingyun and lay down on the operating table in the eyes of love.
The ending looks very happy, but this is not Baochao's upper qingyun.
I don't know if it is the director's intention, or if the director is like many people who have not been deeply involved in the Red Chamber, Bao Chao's poem has been changed by one word. Baochao's original poem is: Good wind frequently borrows power to send me to Qingyun.
"Frequent borrowing" and "relying on force", although only a word difference, the meaning is very far apart. "Frequency" has the meaning of frequent and frequent, frequent borrowing, expressing continuous borrowing.
Moreover, the "good wind" in Baochao's poem is not a good wind in the popular sense, but a destructive force, that is, the bad and evil in Sheng Nan's eyes.
This poem is from BaoChao's "Linjiang Xian Liu Shu":
Bai Yutang danced in front of the spring, and the east wind rolled evenly. Bees and butterflies are in disarray. How many have passed away with the water? Will it be dusty?
Thousands of threads will not change in the end, let him gather and divide. Shaohua Xiu laughed at the rootless. The good wind frequently borrowed power to send me to qingyun.
The swift east wind blew the willows to pieces, and the willows were very light, and it seemed as if she could only settle down with the encounter, but she kept using the power of the wind to let herself fly up to the clouds.
When Baochao experienced the first tribulation in her life, she should also be about ten years old, her father, who loved her very much, died, her rich life was terminated, and because her brother was clumsy, her mother was unable to support the family business, and she let herself grow up rapidly since she was a child and took the initiative to support the family business.
Tribulations can crush people and make people fly higher, depending on what mentality we use to face the tribulations brought to us by life.
Sheng Nan sank because of the tribulation, and Bao Chao flew high because of the tribulation.
The good winds frequently borrow power, and everyone takes the tribulations as bad, but Baochao takes the tribulations as the good, and when one tribulation after another strikes, Baochao flies higher and higher until it flies up to the clouds.
Sheng Nan closed the door of his heart and lost the ability to love in the process of sinking; Bao Chao learned compassion and had great love in the process of flying high.
Sheng Nan looks at the world is gray, and Bao Chao looks at the world is colored.
We can't choose the original family, and we can't choose the existence or absence of suffering, but we can choose how to go our own life path.
The good wind frequently borrows power to send me to Qingyun, not everyone is as lucky as Sheng Nan, to meet a wise person like Old Master Li, and to have a mother who lives a simple and pure life.
But we all have the opportunity to rise to the top.
Love is the door of life and death, as long as there is love in the heart, with the ability to love, you can cross life and death and go straight to the clouds!
In this way, why should women be afraid of middle age? Why should actresses such as Yao Chen be afraid of the plight of middle age?
Sheng Lan: "I have cancer, how can I laugh?" ”
Old Master Li: "Cause and effect are reversed, because if you don't laugh, you will get cancer." ”
