Chapter 471: The Lowly Nine
They are actually a miscellaneous "suicide squad".
Just use your life to hold them back, at least - that's what the original script said.
The blood of the lower class is used to highlight the tragic feeling. They die for personal reasons, personal desires, and for a truth that they may not "understand".
To express emotions.
The previous preparation.
All serve this moment.
Everyone is mentally prepared and expectant about this, and seems to know what will happen next. The plot so far is as expected.
However, we have to admit that the all-star cast and director are very capable. At least when seeing this, Liu Lili still couldn't help but feel distressed for their fate, just like the emotion she had before, this emotion is called pity.
It's a pity that these guys who know nothing have to sacrifice their lives for a noble goal.
They died for something noble they did not understand.
Even the character in the script, Chen Shaobai, angrily scolded Li Yutang, you let them die, what do they know? They know nothing! How miserable their death is! Compared with the ignorance of these people, the awareness of the killer group is very obvious.
Soldiers should die in the frontier, why should they return wrapped in horsehide? You think I am just a dog of the court, but I am not.
This debate between Yan Xiaoguo and Chen Shaobai is surprising and eye-opening.
Liu Lili was also slightly surprised when she saw this scene. This scene alone was enough to raise the score of The Siege of the City in October by one point.
Li Yun and Leung Ka Fai's acting was not at all inferior.
Debate between students and teachers.
Debate between different positions.
Although the fierce and reckless man was not reckless, he just thought that Chen Shaobai's so-called idea of saving the country was ridiculous.
His ideas can't save the country at all. Can they save the country by walking on the street and shouting slogans? Teacher, you even faint when you see blood. You are not suitable for fighting in this cruel world.
Can't you just stay behind and teach people? That's what you are good at.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. A scholar's rebellion failed after ten years. How could a person who is afraid of blood endure the bloodshed and sacrifice brought about by the revolution?
Idealists are the worst, they always ignore reality.
It seems that at present, Yan Xiaoguo is the doer, while Chen Shaobai is just an impassioned scholar who encourages students to shed blood and speaks of idealism behind the scenes.
Without the pain of civilization, how can there be the happiness of civilization?
You bring pain, and I bring happiness.
All scholars are probably like this, but later on, in the character arc that appeared, something different was presented, and Chen Shaobai overcame the dizziness caused by blood.
He even used his own body to incur pain and used a very extreme method to break free from his handcuffs.
That means cutting off your own hand.
This section of the shot was presented directly without any harmony. Who says scholars are unwilling to shed blood and tears?
He was willing to do it. He was willing to bleed.
The most interesting part of this scene is the ideological conflict between Chen Shaobai and Yan Xiaoguo.
Why are some people born to be masters and some born to be slaves?
Imperial power is granted by heaven, it has always been so.
This is their biggest disagreement and paradox.
Servant, master.
"They both want to save the country, but one thinks it's rotten to the core and there's no hope for it, while the other thinks the other is destroying the foundation of the country. I actually think there's some truth in what Yan Xiaoguo said."
Liu Qianqian watched and thought about her current thoughts.
The acting, the script.
At the beginning, Liu Qianqian felt that she seemed unable to understand the profound truth in it, but when the movie started and she savored the drama carefully, she began to feel something.
Yan Xiaoguo felt that the land of China was built on imperial power, and it had been like this for thousands of years, since ancient times. After losing the foundation on which it depended for survival, would China still be China? Or was it just something else covered in a layer of skin?
They are all trying to save the country in their own way.
This is the highlight of Yan Xiaoguo and Chen Shaobai.
After thinking about the plot, Liu Qianqian couldn't help but sigh about Li Yun's acting skills. He was not at all inferior to Tony Leung Ka Fai in the acting.
There is no feeling of being at a disadvantage at all.
Instead, blend into nature.
His acting skills are really up to the best actor level, Brother Li. "What an amazing acting skill! Based on this performance alone, he can probably chase for a nomination for the best actor." Liu Lili was secretly shocked when she saw this, this is truly a monster.
In terms of acting skills, he is far better than his daughter.
Liu Lili, who has always been conceited and arrogant, had to admit defeat here.
At such a young age, he has already reached this level.
At the same time, there are also elements such as script and characters.
At least Yan Xiaoguo and Chen Shaobai were both well-characterized. As for those minor characters used to bring tears to the eyes, their background stories were quite touching. At least when you see them sacrifice themselves later, your heart will not be calm.
That's enough.
In this way, these characters have completed their mission.
It was a mission born for sacrifice from the very beginning.
From the perspective of role positioning, they are just tools, props one after another. Props that can make people cry are already good props. The main point of conflict lies in the ideological struggle between Yan Xiaoguo, Chen Shaobai and Li Yutang.
Yan Xiaoguo doesn't understand Chen Shaobai's revolution. Even this educated general of noble birth doesn't understand it, so it's even more impossible for those people at the bottom of society to understand this truth. The original plot should have been like this.
At this time, in Liu Lili's heart, the score for Li Yun was also increasing. The score for Li Yun in her heart also reached 7 points. At least the current performance of this movie can be regarded as a low-profile "Avengers".
This is also a great achievement. Being able to be a low-profile Avenger is no ordinary compliment.
In Liu Lili's heart, the Avengers series is one of the ceilings of commercial films. It is quite impressive that it can be regarded as the low-end of the ceiling of commercial films.
At least until now, she has been interested in watching the movie, at least interested in seeing it to the end, at least interested in seeing it to the end. Until Pathetically, when the action is about to begin, the first victim is the tomboy actor.
Her apparent motive was revenge and to avenge the 36 people in the theater. Her motive was the most reasonable.
She did defeat the killer, the one who killed her father.
Here she has two choices: retire. Her mission has been completed, her goal has been achieved, and there is no need to do anything more.
But there was a powder keg in front of her, on the path that Sun Yat-sen's team had to pass.
She now has two choices.
One is to retire after achieving success, the other is to sacrifice oneself for justice and push the explosives away.
Either choice is correct, at least it is the right thing to do for this character.
For the development of the plot, she would sacrifice herself like a tool and push the bomb away.
Her death will make people sad and feel sorry for her miserable fate.
But that’s all.
Disappearing like a tool is the limit of her fate. Is it supposed to be like this? At this moment, if this actor is thinking about the so-called national justice, Liu Lili will give him a lower score . It should be like this.
But here are the actress' last thoughts before she died.
I also want to wear a skirt. I also want to wear a woman's skirt, stand on the stage, become a leading role as a woman, and sing. Instead of being servile and having to use my body as a man to cover up this humility.
The fate of women in this era is probably roughly the same. If actors are considered to be of the lowest class, then female actors are of the lowest class, humble. Although I do not understand what revolution is.
But I really want to
embrace the barrel of explosives and die in the flames.
She was in pain as the flames burned her body and the explosion shattered her internal organs.
But when in pain, he remains silent and calm.
Before she died, many fragments of memory flashed back to her mind, including her father, everyone in the troupe, and finally herself on the stage. This play would eventually come to an end.
Her death shocked all those present who did not know the script.
Whether they were media people who came to watch the movie or celebrities who were invited, they all felt shocked.
"Her name is Fang Hong." Li Yuchun said slowly.
Fang Hong.
This person, who was initially thought to be a sacrificial tool, was named Fang Hong, a person of flesh and blood.
In the end, he sacrificed himself with his own will, rather than simply being used as a tool for sentimentality and tear-jerking.
She knew why she made this choice.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Fang Hong was the first one.
Wang Fuming, a monk from Shaolin Temple, made a living by selling stinky tofu after leaving Shaolin Temple. He chose this path in the beginning in order to repay Li Chongguang's kindness.
Because when Li Chongguang distributed rice, he gave him a few extra bags of rice. Although this was the decision of Deng's fourth brother, it also made Wang Fuming feel grateful.
He would give his life for this gratitude.
His thoughts are very simple.
I have strength.
But why can’t we have enough to eat and clothes to wear? The wine and meat in the master’s house are all stinky, much stinkier than my stinky tofu, but my stinky tofu is edible, while the stinky paste in the master’s house is not edible.
I have no other ideas.
I was just thinking.
I'm so strong.
A world where you can eat and drink your fill.
There must be a reason for its existence.
Fourth brother Deng is the rickshaw driver of the Li family.
From the very beginning, he had a great curiosity about reading and writing.
But as a lowly person, he was not qualified to study.
For Young Master Li Chongguang, reading and writing seemed to be a right he was born with, but for Fourth Brother Deng, he needed to be grateful and thank his master and the young master for giving him the opportunity to read and write.
Just for this kindness, I am willing to sacrifice here.
The driver used his own flesh and blood to stop Yan Xiaoguo. He could obviously survive, but he still chose to die, to stop him from getting close to Sun Yat-sen even for a second.
He risked his life.
Before he died, his eyes were very deep.
It was not for the so-called favor, at least at the time of sacrifice, that was what he was thinking and murmured.
People like me.
Do you have the qualifications to be able to read and write?
Gamblers are very skilled in kung fu. They can sell their dignity for money and lower their face to do the most shameless smile.
Be able to bend down and pick up the reward money that fell into the mud.
Thank you for your reward.
He can be the most humble, humble enough to be in the dust.
In order to gamble, he lost his wife and daughter and married Li Yutang as a concubine. He was a gambler.
A worst gambler.
Having squandered his family fortune and everything he had, he finally sought some redemption, which he probably wanted to do by protecting his love rival with his own life.
This incident should have been an irony and insult to him, but when he died bravely, what he recalled were not such narrow-minded things.
The reason why he, a Kung Fu master, chose to die bravely, and the emotions that emerged in his memories, was probably his own daughter.
Recalling the time when he was in the big mansion, he saw that his daughter was not even qualified to sit at the table during meals. It was not because she was the daughter of a concubine. It was probably because it was the case in his time.
Probably in his time, women's status was low, no matter how great it was, was taken for granted.
His daughter was born that way.
It has a low status in this era.
I heard that it became a republic.
Women, can they also sit at the table to eat? Can they read and write, and become officials?
The gambler thought so.
Before death, when the revolving lantern flashes before your eyes.
He is thinking.
If this is what the era after success will be like.
Then "Republic".
It’s really a good thing.
Explosive acting.
Emotional explosion.
Chen Kexin didn't expect that from the perspective of the screen, her "script" would be modified like this to have such a chemical reaction.
These low-level chess pieces that were originally positioned as tear-jerking characters, ready to die heroically, may, in the eyes of the audience, have the greatest effect of the previous plot in providing the work with one tear point after another, to stir up emotions and generate empathy.
To make a gesture of empathy.
They died like tools.
The characters in the script are positioned as tools. As a screenwriter, Chen Kexin understands this point deeply. They have no souls, at least in the initial script, they are not given souls.
Now Chen Kexin understood the significance of this script change.
He cried.
They sacrificed themselves not as tools. Perhaps, as Chen Shaobai said, they really did not understand what revolution and republic were.
They just know there is a group of people.
I want to make this era better.
Leave a better world for your descendants.
They were willing to sacrifice their lives for this.
Achieve the Republic.
These characters are given souls.
Endowed with soul by Li Yun.
