There are many positive comments in the comment area, but there are also many negative comments.
"Incomprehensible funny mode!"
"The character setting is too ridiculous, it's really a "Westward Journey"!"
"Forcibly funny and also forced to be sensational, it's really boring!"
“I tried my best to read it three times, but I still couldn’t stand it!”
"I really don't know what I'm talking about. It's just a few lines of dialogue that are interesting."
"To be honest, it's really bad. The plot is ridiculous and there are dirty jokes!"
"I advise the author to write children's stories honestly!!"
"..."
Judging from the comments from readers, "Westward Journey" really lives up to that sentence, loved to death and scolded to death!
People who love "Westward Journey" regard it as a classic!
People who criticize "Westward Journey" criticize it as worthless!
Almost at the same time.
Hu Shuo was also reading people's comments about "Westward Journey". After a night of fermentation, the polarized reputation became even more extreme. There were many scoldings, and there were also many people who praised "Westward Journey" as a masterpiece.
The debate about the reputation of "Westward Journey" has even become a hot search topic on Weibo.
Faced with this situation, Hu Shuo was quite happy. He was not afraid of scolding, but he was afraid of being criticized so hard that he wouldn't even be able to raise the splash. To a certain extent, if a work can cause such a big controversy, it is considered a success.
At least now netizens know about a movie called "Westward Journey".
However, among the negative voices on Weibo, Hu Shuo also found some traces of "revenge", such as Xu Guochun and Kang Jianxin, writers from Jiangcheng who had conflicts with Hu Shuo, and Hu Zuozuo, who was crushed in a poetry contest.
Jiang Chuan, Liu Zhongnan and others have posted long comments about "Westward Journey" on Weibo, and of course their long comments are mainly criticism.
Hu Shuo is not surprised at all by the comments and criticisms of these people. Since ancient times, literati have looked down upon each other and are more likely to hold grudges. This is because the arrogance in the literati's bones makes it difficult for them to face their own failures. Therefore, once they have the opportunity to make things right,
During a round, I will naturally spare no effort.
Therefore, these people, Hu Shuo's former defeated generals, almost formed the "Anti-Hu Alliance". They took great pains to criticize "Westward Journey" and found out various shortcomings and shortcomings in the whole movie and put them out.
Refute one by one.
Looking through everyone's comments refuting "Westward Journey", Hu Shuo laughed to himself as he looked at it, because these people were so "troublesome".
Among them, Zhizunbao's line "I am convinced of you" was criticized by a certain scholar and said that it should not appear in the film. The sentence structure that combines Chinese and English is not rigorous and is too vulgar.
Hu Shuo has nothing to say about this kind of evaluation. The whole "Westward Journey" has a strong spoof atmosphere. This is the style of "Westward Journey". It tells a "heavy story" in an absurd and spoof way.
” story.
It is precisely this way of expression that allows the viewers to have the experience of laughing while crying and crying while laughing.
In fact, this is also the way Stephen Chow, the master of comedy in another time and space, handles "comedy". At first glance, all I see of Stephen Chow is his nonsensical performance, which seems to be just for the sake of being funny. However, when you grow up, you can watch again
When watching Stephen Chow's movies, you will find that in fact, most of his movies are "tragedies", and he just expresses them in an absurd and parody way.
As another comedy master Chaplin said, comedy actually comes from tragedy. Tragedy is the heart of comedy. Only with a tragic heart can you write a good comedy.
Therefore, Chaplin came to a conclusion: the inner root of humor is not happiness, but sadness.
This sentence reveals a fact that makes people think deeply, that is, comedy is actually based on the audience's happiness based on one person's pain.
Just like that joking saying, if there is something unhappy, say it to make us happy.
It's the same principle.
When do people laugh?
It’s time to see others make a fool of themselves, it’s time to see others make fools, it’s time to see a person in a state of embarrassment!
And for the person who made you laugh, this is a tragedy in itself!
Whether it is as small as a plot or as large as a story, whether it is Stephen Chow or those successful comedy masters, they actually present their worst, worst, and most unlucky sides in front of the audience.
Take a plot in "Westward Journey" as an example. It is also a continuous laugh point in this story. It is when Zhizunbao led the bandits to put "invisibility charms" on them to capture Chun Sananniang and Bai Jingjing.
The two people could obviously see the Supreme Treasure, but they pretended to turn a blind eye and repeatedly set his pants on fire. Then, the Supreme Treasure's men went to "put out the fire."
That episode can make people laugh until their stomachs hurt, but if you think about it from another perspective, what is the current state of the Supreme Treasure?
My penis was burnt, how miserable it was!
He showed his most miserable side in front of the audience, so the audience laughed. If, from the perspective of Supreme Treasure, would this be a comedy?
Of course not, for him, this is the most tragic thing in the world!
This is a small plot.
And what is the entire story of "Westward Journey" about?
A young man named Zhizunbao cannot escape the reincarnation of fate and will eventually become the person he should be.
A young man named Zhizunbao, after five hundred years of love, still cannot save his beloved woman.
Therefore, "Westward Journey" can be summed up simply as: the helpless fate and hopeless love of the Supreme Treasure!
Therefore, if there were no spoofs and exaggerated laughs in the story, this would be a proper tragedy.
Even if you are a hero, you still can't save the woman you love.
Even if you are a hero, you cannot escape the cycle of fate.
Even if you are an unparalleled hero, you can only wear a tight leash (dog leash), and in the end, you will live like a dog...
There are too many helplessness and too many regrets in life, but even if you are a hero, what can you change?
And facing this kind of life, how should each of us deal with it?
In fact, the answer has already been given in "Journey to the West": laugh right.
Face the boring, boring but unchangeable life with a smile. You can try some subtle changes on the inherent track.
For example, if the mode of speaking convinces you, I can say: I convince you!
It has nothing to do with anything else, I just want it!
Ding~!
Just as Hu Shuo's thoughts were wandering, his cell phone rang. It was Feng Haibo who called on WeChat: I just finished watching "Westward Journey" and I just want to say one thing to Brother Shuo: Damn, I'm convinced of you~!!
