Chapter 1,775: You need both means and original intention.
With the popularity of "Nine Levels of Sesame Official", there are more and more interpretations of the movie.
There are even many things that even Li Yi himself did not expect. For example, a fan raised a question: "Why did Admiral Chang Kun leave a chance for Bao Longxing to make a comeback?"
At first, many movie fans gave this question a very conventional answer.
"The movie needs it. If you don't give him a chance to make a comeback, then where will the story behind it be?"
"The best thing about screenwriters is whether they understand logic or anything like that. Just take a look at nonsensical comedies!"
"To make everyone happy, why do the protagonists in the online novel always have opponents of the same level as him, and then give them experience packs one by one? The plot requires it, old man!"
Everyone thought so at first, but soon someone gave a different interpretation.
"After watching "Nine Levels of Sesame Official", many fans discussed on the Internet why Admiral Chang Kun gave Bao Longxing a chance to make a comeback? Many people thought it was a forced plot. At first I thought so too, but then again
After reading it several times, I made a surprising discovery. Of course, this is also a personal guess, but there is detailed evidence, so let me analyze it in detail.
When I first read the character of the Minister of Justice, I thought she was an ungrateful person. But when I read it again and evaluated it carefully, I found that this was not the case.
Personally, I think this is precisely the brilliance of Lord Shangshu. It seems that Lord Shangshu suggested getting rid of Bao Longxing, but in fact, he used retreat to protect Bao Longxing. Many details in the movie can be reflected.
In fact, Lord Chang, the admiral of the Navy, hated Bao Longxing deeply and did not intend to release Bao Longxing. However, under the protection of Lord Shangshu, Lord Chang had no choice but to let Bao Longxing go.
After Wei committed the crime, he was confused by Fang Tangjing, and Bao Longxing visited Yizhuang at night to look for evidence.
At that time, Mr. Chang told his subordinates that "we must eradicate the roots." It can be seen that Mr. Chang wanted to get rid of Bao Longxing in his heart. Later, Bao Longxing was also imprisoned under Fang Tangjing's planning. Later, he was saved by Ruhua.
Later, Bao Bubu suggested that Bao Longxing go to the capital to file a petition, and before leaving, he gave Bao Longxing half a piece of cake.
He also told Bao Longxing to find Master Shangshu for help because Bao BuTong was kind to Master Shangshu back then. Later, Bao Longxing finally found Master Shangshu after many bumps and bruises. After learning about Bao BuTong's experience, Master Shangshu was filled with emotion.
It can be seen that Lord Shangshu is not an ungrateful person.
Before Bao Longxing said Master Chang's name, Master Shangshu was quite indignant and really planned to help Bao Longxing. At this time, Master Chang happened to come out. It must be a coincidence. When Bao Longxing said the name
It's Mr. Chang, and he also wants to use Mr. Chang as a toilet.
Lord Shangshu's reaction was to tell Bao Longxing to leave quickly, but Bao Longxing couldn't hear good or bad words, and insisted on pestering Lord Shangshu, saying that officials protect each other. At this time, Lord Shangshu quickly put aside the relationship with Bao Longxing, but Shangshu
The adult never discarded the piece of cake and was still playing with it in his hand.
In this case, it is obvious that Mr. Chang is thinking that as the naval admiral, Mr. Chang's original base camp is in Guangzhou. Now that he appears in Mr. Shangshu's home, it actually proves that Mr. Chang has already established good relations in the capital. Therefore, Mr. Shangshu
Thinking that this time there was no doubt that he would be defeated, he had to retreat and do the next best thing to save Bao Longxing first.
Here comes the exciting part. Lord Shangshu suggested that Lord Chang get rid of Bao Longxing. But in fact, this sentence is knowledgeable. Lord Shangshu just wanted to retreat to protect Bao Longxing. If Lord Chang listened to Lord Shangshu's suggestion,
Then it is confirmed that what Chang Wei committed is true, and Mr. Chang has fallen into the hands of Mr. Shangshu.
Mr. Chang would not be so stupid. In fact, Mr. Shangshu said this just to clear up the relationship with Bao Longxing, because what Mr. Chang is afraid of is not Bao Longxing. Mr. Chang is afraid that Bao Longxing will sue the emperor. Bao Longxing
Since we no longer have the backer of Lord Shangshu, there is no threat, because in that era.
It is difficult for even the emperor's grandson to see the emperor, let alone a helpless little man like Bao Longxing. Lord Shangshu said this, which can be said to be "killing two birds with one stone" to save Bao Longxing. As for why he gave 100
There is a reason for giving the cake to Bao Longxing, because at first Bao Longxing scolded Mr. Chang.
He also treated Master Chang as a toilet and scolded him in front of Master Shangshu. Master Chang must have been angry. The reason why he gave Bao Longxing 100 cakes and let him eat them was to educate Bao Longxing: "Young people
People should not be too arrogant, and young people should not talk too much." The second reason is to vent Mr. Chang's anger. Since Mr. Chang's popularity has disappeared, Bao Longxing will naturally not be removed.
Without those 100 cakes, Bao Longxing probably wouldn't have been able to walk out of the door that night. At this point, Mr. Chang could only find the steps and say, "Don't get rid of Bao Longxing. Let Bao Longxing be a beggar. Just throw it away."
His father Bao has a different face." He actually wanted to get rid of Bao Longxing when he said this, but it was not that night. Please note that after Bao Longxing left safely, Lord Shangshu threw away the piece of cake.
If Lord Shangshu was really ungrateful, he would have thrown away the piece of cake long ago. Judging from the picture, the piece of cake was extremely moldy. The reason why he kept holding it was because of the different kindness of Zhongbao. But at this time, Lord Chang was probably
The capital has been well organized, and Bao Longxing is bound to lose at this time, so he can only do the next best thing, save Bao Longxing first, and then make plans.
Being a beggar will make you helpless, and being a beggar will be shouted at and beaten by everyone. Mr. Chang just wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Bao Longxing secretly in the future. Unexpectedly, Bao Longxing actually hid in Fenglai Tower. This was unexpected by Mr. Chang
, and finally got acquainted with the emperor. The situation at this time was beyond Lord Chang's control.
But it was too late. Bao Longxing was already the governor of the Eight Prefectures, and he was also the imperial envoy. He also had bodyguard Lei Bao. Finally, he collaborated with Lord Navy and Lord Shangshu to interrogate the Qi Qin family in three halls. Later, it was Eunuch Li, who should be the one who
Li Lianying came to hear the trial. In fact, Li Lianying's legal knowledge was not very high, and there was also the Navy Master.
Because Chang Wei said: "After that night, Qi Qin had a child, how could it be so fast?" In this case, it can only prove that Chang Wei and Qi Qin are related, and even Chang Wei forced Qi Qin to
The Qin family can't prove it, so it can't be proven that the entire Qi family is related to Chang Wei.
Eunuch Li did a good job with Laifu and Fang Tangjing in the front. He knew how to knock these two people unconscious, but why did Eunuch Li panic when he got here? If Eunuch Li continued to deal with Bao Longxing, the best he could do was to prove
Qi Qin is related to Chang Wei, but whether it was forced or not cannot be proven.
In court, in fact, as the Minister of Punishment, he can say that he has many opportunities to side with Chang Kun and the others, but what will be the result?
He didn't do this at all, he just acted like he was a bystander, which also shows that he was not on Chang Kun's side at all.
In addition, as the Minister of Punishment, he could not agree to the emperor's ridiculous request, but he went along with it and let the case be retried!
Therefore, in my personal opinion, Bao Longxing's ability to stand up is definitely an act of repayment by the Minister of Punishment. It also highlights Bao Bubu's words that corrupt officials must be raped, and honest officials must be raped even more. Otherwise, how can we deal with corrupt officials?
Whether the Minister of Punishment is an upright official or not is not mentioned for now, but if he can sit in the position of Shangshu of the Punishment Department, then he must be "treacherous" enough, so "treacherous" that everyone thinks that he is really ungrateful, including Bao Longxing!"
As soon as this interpretation came out, it naturally caused a lot of controversy. Some people said that it was completely over-interpretation and forced interpretation.
But some people think that this interpretation is the real answer.
Of course, this question will never have an answer.
"Looking at the nonsensical movies directed by Li Yi, we will find that the movies are nonsensical, but comedy itself is an art that satirizes reality, especially the nonsensical comedies directed by Li Yi. The premise of satirizing reality is to draw materials from
Reality.
Just like Hollywood science fiction movies, no matter how sci-fi the pictures are and how amazing the aliens are, the image design is still inseparable from the shadow of humans, such as Avatar and Star Wars.
The same is true for comedy creation. No matter how absurd the plot is, it must have a realistic plot as a reference, so that it can be absurd and bizarre. There is never such a thing as water without a source.
The reality behind the absurdity can be of reference to us.
There are many metaphors in the movie, such as the yellow mantle that appears on Chang Wei.
A yellow mantle, when worn on Chang Wei, makes him unable to be beaten or scolded. What kind of reality is hidden behind this mysterious "yellow mantle"?
Some commentators said, how could the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty swagger out of the capital with yellow mantles?
This is actually a metaphor, using extraordinary arrangements to show the real side.
The "yellow mantle" is actually a kind of identity and a rule. The protective umbrella behind Chang Wei used various regulations of the Qing Dynasty to protect Chang Wei. For example, if Chang Wei is under fourteen years old, or Qi Qin takes the initiative;
For example, if Chang Wei is suddenly diagnosed with a mental illness and has no capacity for civil conduct, then the trial in the lobby will become extremely complicated.
Second, the celebrity around the Queen Mother”——Eunuch Li
Obviously, this character is based on the famous eunuch Li Lianying in the late Qing Dynasty.
Because it is an absurd comedy, the film basically just borrows his identity. So what is the truth behind Eunuch Li in the film?
As slaves of the Red Man, there is no hope of promotion, no hope of taking power, and no hope of blessing future generations, so this type of person is very scary. Those who have permanent property have perseverance, and people who do not even have production cannot have perseverance.
of.
Eunuch Li could be the servant who drove the sedan chair for the Queen Mother, or he could be the servant who combed the Queen Mother's hair, or he could be the cousin of the Queen Mother's second aunt's nephew and daughter-in-law. The Queen Mother could also become a governor or governor. In short, it was just the same identity.
The privileges of this kind of people come from the Queen Mother, but they can only be dependent on them without real power. Moreover, because they are not appointed officials of the Qing Dynasty, this honor is limited to one term of the master. The Queen Mother has passed away, and the Governor has passed away.
The glory is gone.
Living in the present, carefree and enjoying the prosperity of the world to oneself is the attitude of these people.
Next, let’s talk about Leopard Head. It can be said that this is a character full of joy, strong in martial arts, and lustful and greedy.
I want twenty!
He was so strong in martial arts and so persistent in handling cases that he chased three criminal thieves for seven days and seven nights. He indulged in sex and had no inhibitions. He went to Bao Longxing's appointment and frankly asked for twenty.
Being associated with a leopard head is contrary to the ideals of Confucian scholars. But if you want to be a good official who speaks for the people, you cannot do without strong protection. Don't end up losing your life before justice is served.
This is also a revelation to you in the workplace. If your goal is to be a senior manager, then you must be tolerant and use the strengths of others.
The roads are different, so we can make plans together and each can benefit from it.
I wonder if you have noticed the linkage between the movies?
"Nine Levels of Sesame Official" and "Westward Journey" are actually related.
If the fate of Supreme Treasure was changed by three moles, then in Sesame Official, the three moles that changed Bao Longxing's fate were these three peerless beauties.
The first is Qi Qin. Part of the reason why Bao Longxing, who was greedy for money and lustful, felt compassion for her, was because he met this peerless beauty.
The plot setting is not unreasonable. Some keyboard knights always take things for granted. There is never water without a source in the world, and a person's sense of justice also needs to be called out. It was the tragedy of the Qi Qin family that prompted Bao Longxing to embark on the path of
The road to justice.
The second one is Mo Zaiti, a beauty from the theater troupe. Bao Longxing, who does not distinguish between right and wrong, did not get a clue about the direction of his life until he met Mo Zaiti. Mo Zaiti told Bao Longxing that everyone in his hometown knew that Bao Longxing
Long Xing is a good official who prays for the people, and people love him.
The isolated and helpless Bao Longxing was energized by these heart-warming words. This is a kind of cultural power and potential value influence, which ignited Bao Longxing's fighting spirit to be an official.
The third place is Ruyan, a brothel girl. To be a good official, it is not enough to have a strong belief. You also need ability, the ability to fight in a complex officialdom.
Bao Longxing, who is only greedy and short-sighted, begins to understand the operating rules of a cruel society after meeting Miss Ruyan for the first time and being burned with secret books.
Just like those of us who have graduated from college and entered the workplace for the first time, the thick black and life skills we read in books are of no use at all. Only when you are proud, you are smiling everywhere, and when you are frustrated, your face turns into a cold face, and you can truly appreciate it.
This book on society is just an introduction to what it means to be in troubled times.
Then for the second time, Ruyan and Bao Longxing confided their feelings. Bao Longxing was like you who had begun to mature and began to understand that these utilitarian people, the people who had hurt you in the past, were just trying to make a living.
In "Westward Journey", there is actually a similar motivation.
There are also three women! It must be said that the director is in the same vein in this regard.
Finally, in my opinion, the reason why this movie is good is that it reveals such a social structural problem.
In that environment, if you are not as good at playing the rules as others, it will be difficult to truly fight against the various problems caused by the rules.
But how many people who play by the rules better than others are willing to fight against the rules?
Therefore, we need both means and original intention.”
