The image of Shen Bing should be the dream lover of most men. She seems too good to be true. As men, the screenwriter and director (actually both Chen Sicheng) are bound to have idealized elements when portraying this character. Shen Bing is beautiful, gentle, virtuous, not money-worshipping, contented and always happy ... all the fine virtues of traditional women in China.
This character was brought up in a legendary family environment. Yunnan, a well-informed and infatuated mother ... all the ideal characteristics are put on the same person. From resisting to slowly accepting the madman, the joint point is not that the madman chased Yunnan and was beaten for it, but that Shen Bing died for the madman that night and was rejected by the madman. Obviously, the meaningful topic of "sex" has once again acted as the pioneer of plot change.
Perhaps, the setting of this character did not play the role of "discussing social problems", but took men as the position of "primary sex" and shaped the "secondary sex" in his heart-an ideal image with both social identity and personal identity.
Cheng feng
Cheng Feng was called a madman because he was frivolous and impulsive at first, and no one knew what he would do. Because he is rich, he is crazy to the extent that Wu Di and Shi can't imagine. He is as crazy as a runaway wild horse. He will ask all kinds of women around him to dance for her. He will be naive and bored enough to provoke Lu Manjia's nerves. He knows how to read and conquer all kinds of women. He is like a child who got high marks in the exam. He shows off these weapons that can be used as high scores, but he doesn't know that others can get high scores without weapons. He fell in love at first sight, and all those so-called weapons failed, because he suddenly found that Shi could win a smile even without those weapons. Crazy people begin to think about what love is. Meet like an idiot, afraid; Don't say anything and dare not do it. I can't say a word until we meet. I get flustered and my heart beats irregularly at the thought of it. I always feel that there is not enough breath when we meet. I don't think about tea and rice. I eat like chewing wax. Just like Qiong Yao's novels, I hold my cheek in my hand and think about myself at the window. This is what a madman looks like when he sees Shen Bing. He fell madly in love with Shen Bing. He knows that his friend's wife can't be bullied, but that uncontrollable traction makes him try his best to please Shen Bing. He selfishly introduced Shen Bing's work, and in order to see Shen Bing, he secretly monitored her every move all day; He is not afraid to take a long-distance train and go to a city that has never been masked, just to accompany his sweetheart at any time; No matter whether his wallet is stolen, he can't wait for a moment. The anxiety of turning love into an ant on hot bricks has never happened before. The days in Yunnan are the purest days in his life. He found that money can buy those feasts and a whole semester for a child who is out of school. He devoted himself to such a meaningful life, and he really felt closer to Shen Bing. In this process, he suffered a lot, and he also saw that he didn't know the taste of meat in March. He began to learn a down-to-earth life and adapt to a quiet and unchanging life. The taste of love made him forget these unbearable places in the past. Shen Bing's shock was enough to make him reborn. A person is emotional, a person is calm, a person pays, a person is willful and can stand loneliness, so that faithful wife can be achieved. After all, Shen Bing was influenced by him, and after the prodigal son returned with nothing, happiness was the simplest thing.
Lin Xia is the only girl that the madman brought to see his mother except Shen Bing, and the position of this girl in his heart can be imagined. But when it comes to fighting with love, all that remains is a foothold after tearing. The madman is kind and cruel to Lin Xia. I remember that at the beginning of this play, someone asked the madman why he didn't choose Lin Xia. The madman said that Lin Xia was too good. I understand this sentence as he can't bear to hurt Lin Xia. But this is a manifestation of the inferiority beyond human control. On the surface, deliberately unwilling to hurt causes more intentional or unintentional harm. The madman doesn't know Lin Xia, but he knows exactly what he wants. He identified Shen Bing, and the tenacity of not giving up until he reached his goal turned him into a man who didn't understand amorous feelings. The madman can do nothing about Lin Xia's behavior. He doesn't accept or run away. He thinks that being too decisive will cost him this good friend. Only by completely indulging his indifferent attitude, Lin Xia will let go sooner or later. It's just Lin Xia, stronger than he thought. The girl's persistent madness made the madman see himself in love. The madman said to Lin Xia at his mother's grave, you are a good girl. If there is a next life, I will definitely marry you as my wife. I believe that such a serious madman said such a serious thing, even if it was so desperate or even unrealistic, but it was enough to move Lin Xia.
A madman is a good partner. To paraphrase "Soldiers Assault in July", he can make friends with people like Wu Di and Shi, so he won't be destroyed by the sense of superiority that is easy to produce. Indeed, a madman will not look at his friends coldly because he is a rich second generation, but will lend a helping hand. Stone notebooks are the honor roll of lunatics. I especially want to know how the madman will react when he leaves money to Stone's father. If the madman wants to compete with the stone, he has the ability to deprive the stone of the right to participate in the competition from the beginning. This is the gap between the rich second generation and the Phoenix Man that can never be bridged. Because they grew up in different environments, they couldn't put themselves in each other's shoes. Until his life and Shi changed places, good family quality made him grasp the most worthwhile part, which Shi could never understand.
The most important part of growth is understanding and tolerance. The pain of losing his mother became the biggest shadow of a madman when he was young. He rebelled against Lao Cheng everywhere, which was a deliberate revenge. Clever as he is, he refuses to take over the business of Lao Cheng. He is fearless, because no matter what, he fears Lao Cheng from the bottom of his heart. Even if the sky falls, Lao Cheng will support him, so he can make waves and do whatever he wants. The passage of youth is accompanied by the biggest change that parents are no longer in their prime. Old Cheng collapsed due to illness, and the company was exploited by people with ulterior motives, but he still left the biggest living expenses to the madman who took risks. At this moment, the madman realized that no matter how he pursued love and friendship, the most stable thing that accompanied him was always the kinship with blood relationship. What moved me most was the scene where a madman tied his shoelaces for Lao Cheng, and that sentence "Dad" touched the softest place in people's hearts. Cheng Feng's transformation is a history of youth growth. From him, we can extend the changes and tests of love, affection and friendship, and feel the shocking education brought to him by society and humanity in the process of choosing and being chosen.
Shi mengxiao
Stone has all the characteristics of Phoenix man: smart and diligent, but it also has the common faults of Phoenix man: selfishness, inferiority and conceit.
I never hated his guts, of course, not because he chose bread among bread and love, but because he had a brand-new life through his own efforts a year later. On the other hand, in real life, many people choose love and marry peacock girls, and their parents haggle over every ounce, resulting in the tragedy of two families. What's more, he became a captive of women, and women in eat woman abandoned all self-esteem and self-love and became disabled people with sound limbs. The tragedy of history cannot be entirely attributed to him, but several stimulating factors contributed to this.
For the first time, it came from a privileged woman. A chartered woman with a low cultural background and foul language can point fingers at a college student like him, because he can't lift his head for just a few thousand dollars. He can't compete with such an unreasonable object with his knowledge. Even though he is in a humble position, he can still drink on his head. The second time came from taxi drivers and bottom social workers. People who run around counting the days every month can sneer at people who have legitimate jobs like him, because he is not only a few tens of dollars without money, but no one tells him when he is poor. He didn't want to. The third time came from the sales girl. If I remember correctly, the lady in the sales office not only called him three times to urge him to pay the down payment, but the urging became more and more fierce, and death became the end of the world in his mind. He didn't have enough money, so Hu Rongqiang didn't keep his promise. He was embarrassed to borrow it from his friends again. A notebook full of IOUs was like a rotten bowl that had been repaired many times. A salesgirl is a person who has read books. The phrase "I'm really sorry" pierced his ear and seemed more desperate than those ugly words. Excuse me, can I give him a down payment? No; Excuse me, can I have it? No. Educated people know the law of the jungle in the face of trading and competition. A house of 38 square meters is a hot potato. With a new competitor, it's a pity that the young lady is no longer around him. If she can't bear the result, just sentence him to death. No one will care what happened in this process, just as no one will care that he lost an important plan to save a child. No one will ask and no one will understand. For the first time, he understood that kindness and patience seemed to be just icing on the cake or dispensable things.
The fourth time comes from the dialogue between Hu Rongqiang and Nana. He finally realized that even though he tried to make thousands of plans to satisfy his customers, he could not get what he deserved. This boss has his own business. The boss wants to catch a big fish. This boss holds his lifeline, not because he is talented, but because his friend is well-off. What a ridiculous but logical reason, so that it can not escape. At this moment, the fire is burning, and no matter what he does, he wants the life-saving money. Without it, not only the money accumulated in three years has been put in, but also it seems that there is no better housing. He can't give up.
Shen Bing reminded him that once the interests are infiltrated, the relationship between friends is not so pure. This woman persuaded him, and he remained so firm until he walked into the office. He was so close to simplicity and happiness. Maybe three months later, when the crisis of crazy dad comes, he will become a member of Dade, and he can buy a new nest of his own in a short time. However, he can't wait. Faced with the temptation to rush money, he hesitated. It seems that he has seen the most banknotes since he was a child. The copper smell of money is strong but fragrant. He bit his finger in the last struggle and gave it up. He had nothing, and the day of starting over could not foresee the future. With these, the house will be available, and the extra pocket money will allow him to enjoy a life he never dreamed of before working. It is not difficult to choose, but it is impossible to measure the great changes brought about by the butterfly effect. He shows off his value in front of strangers he will never see again. He bought an expensive ring, he had an expensive lunch, he was out of place, shook his cup and showed the world a smile when a pie fell. He began to hold his head high and shouted from his heart: taxi driver, I'm sorry, miss, did you see it? Did you see it clearly? In my opinion, this is not vanity, it is a release that has been suppressed for a long time, and it is the best proof for those who want to see the results without looking at one process after another, and he can live a rich life. It's just that he never thought about it. Who cares?
If it is natural to take away 80,000 yuan in this way, then I didn't know that Cheng Feng was interested in Shen Bing. At the same time, Cheng Feng told him to give up Shen Bing on the basketball court, which was the trigger for his complete change. Si Tong must think this is ridiculous. Why rob a madman when he has everything? He clearly knows that this is the only thing he can't take away. He began to go his own way, putting himself and the madman in a set competitive state and making a subtle contrast. It never occurred to him that this was beyond the control of a madman, but he felt that his shameless deprivation was almost cruel. Even his friends for so many years tried to put salt on the wound, and he was completely angry. He accepted the old deal and bit his finger again. He was still wandering, and as a result, despite his heartache, he made a decision quickly. Those unfair decisions made him numb and cold. He wants to race against time, and the madman in the illusion is challenging him. He has fallen far behind. He wants to catch up with them at the speed of running. After catching up, he will win Shen Bing with a distinct identity. He has planned his time and life, but the only constant in this world is change.
He is ambitious, and his revenge on his former company shows his ability and means; Admittedly, the status gained by the transaction cannot be bought by trust. The feeling of instability is even more serious. He is like a puppet. Suddenly, he used valuables as collateral to make room for his fists and feet. The balance was still tilted, and he was cheated again. This time, he endured, because he had no choice but to seize the straw in front of him. He didn't think of his friends, he was running away, because today's miserable life seems to be retrogression in that competitive state, and he has no face to stand in front of them. He licked the wound alone and went to the small house and the old place. He met Lin Xia, who also drowned his sorrows in wine, and learned by innuendo that this madman was madly pursuing the truth of Shen Bing. Even though he knew it was certain, he still had a little luck in his heart until others confirmed it. He stood there helplessly, unable to save anything. When drinking, he didn't think about what to do to Lin Xia, including the hotel, and he didn't have wild desires. This girl is his friend, and he feels that she is as poor as himself from the bottom of his heart. But he is different from her. She can't get the love of a madman, because that madman doesn't love her, but she and Shen Bing two of a kind have become what they are now. If this kind of competition is unfair, that sudden transaction is the chief culprit that makes him unhappy and have nothing. He clenched his fist, he wanted revenge, he wanted to be crazy and couldn't get love, so he and Lin Xia had that night. Even under the influence of alcohol, his mind is still clear, so he dominates all this. Just surprisingly, Lin Xia still left the most precious thing to the madman. He was scared and at a loss. But out of instinctive responsibility and conscience, he wants to make up for it, even if it is insignificant.
It was not until Shen Bing got married that he began to realize that even though he ran hard, he could not keep up with the pace of change. He finally wants to go back to the past hysterically. It was his birthday, and the petals on the ground didn't welcome him. He said, girl, don't get married easily. Think clearly about who you love. Only when the cherished thing is about to be lost does it show her importance to herself. Indeed, even if he unilaterally stopped loving and gave up, he still stubbornly believed that the other party was still insisting. Shi's feelings for him are always self-righteous. He went, and he told Shen Bing with the weakest signal that you can come back and I will wait for you. At this point, I personally feel a little relieved. Whether he is worthy of love or not, he will wear a ring on his little finger to pay homage to his dead love. His flame will never go out in despair. Later, he changed a good house and cooked a good table to welcome Wu Di and Faith, but the self-deprecating display made me sad. The better life is, the happier it is, and the more it can remind him of what he has lost. What he lost is getting heavier and heavier in his heart. He believes that perhaps these friends are born to be too rich and love the poor, and they are born to use him as a benchmark to highlight their sense of superiority. He became more lonely, more addicted to debauchery, more greedy, crossed his own moral bottom line, began to use the trust and feelings of others to stir up trouble, and became more obsessed with scheming, until he lost all his once-shining conscience and became a despicable person who bought people's hearts and destroyed others' feelings with money.
I left such a long space for Shi because, in my opinion, he was not bad at first. He has his own pride and persistence. He just keeps losing himself, and the friends he created in the ivory tower have become the vane of widening the rich and poor. He should keep a good attitude, but the pressure of the environment makes him unreasonable. In the process of struggle and corruption, occasional goodwill and sense of responsibility did not bring him back to life, and the problem of face made him more conceited. He always complains about other people's shortcomings, but he doesn't use his friends as mirrors to find his own problems. In fact, he just doesn't want to admit to his friends that material attraction is greater than spiritual pursuit. Even though discontent is empty, he even has some regrets, but the idea of never looking back dominates his body to run forward involuntarily. He is the champion of this competition that he built. He ran far alone, followed by Wu Di, and the madman was regressing, but they were in no hurry, because they knew that as long as they kept running towards the end of the runway, no matter how long it took, they could persist until the moment they rushed to the finish line. Only the stone deviated from the runway. This is his sorrow. Speed is not the problem, direction is the key. In his lost year, he kept thinking that the most important thing, Shen Bing, had been robbed, but one sentence woke him up from his dream: you can't leave what you bought, and no one can take what you can't buy. He forgot the way when he came and waited for his father in his hometown in Yunnan, so he fell into a broken dream of light and vanity and sank into the deep valley of frozen desire. After vicissitudes of life, waiting for him is the prison. Whether to be reborn or continue to be destroyed will be another round of choices waiting for him.
