Chapter six hundred and seventy-two thousand arrows pierce the heart
Today is not the first update but the second update. The previous chapter was closed in a small dark room, and it failed to pass the first revision. The conscience of heaven and earth is the description of the plot of the movie. There is no way, it cannot be written below the neck.
…
Cheng Hao didn't know and didn't care what He Xin was thinking, because her unruly character meant that she couldn't have the consciousness to judge others by herself.
Therefore, when He Xin held back the sentence "I want to divorce you" for a long time, she didn't know what to do.
She made an appointment with Xiaojing, her best friend since childhood, to talk to her and get some advice.
Xiaojing's husband is a rich man, but Xiaojing's marriage is not happy.
Xiao Jing's husband was not a good person. He was messing around outside all day long and brought his lover home. When he was discovered, he even beat Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing, who had such an experience, gave her two choices after learning about Cheng Hao's experience:
"If you don't want to keep him, keep a close eye on your property bankbook and let him go; if you want to keep him, find a way to tie him to you."
After listening to Xiao Jing's words, Cheng Hao may have realized that he was usually a little too much, and planned to be nicer to He Xin after he came back. He Xin was completely fed up, and after the divorce, he had an affair with a female colleague outside.
After all, Wang Xiaoshuai was a top student in Nortel's directing department at that time. His works may not have the so-called "penetration of the appearance of reality" in Chief Jia's films, but in terms of technique, they are definitely outstanding.
For example, when He Xin was eating with Wan Qian outside, the light was soft and brisk, and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and romantic. When the camera turned, Cheng Hao was sitting alone on the sofa at home watching TV. The cool light was projected on him, and the distance was deep.
Xiaobao is doing his homework alone. The space where Xiaobao is located is warm-toned light. The setting of two kinds of light, one cold and one warm, cleverly divides two airborne landings and two worlds. This setting both
It reflects Cheng Hao's misery and pitifulness, and also reflects the alienation between her and Xiaobao's mother and son.
He Xin came home very late, and this time Cheng Hao didn't yell at him to "kneel on the washboard" and even took the initiative to take off his socks.
He Xin was determined this time and ignored him.
Cheng Hao's unruly and willful character exploded again. He threw cups and bowls, yelled and vented his anger on the child, which scared the child to tears.
When the film is shown to this moment, whether it is a Chinese or a Japanese audience, the feeling is the same, that there is a kind of person who, using neutral words to describe it, is aloof and self-respecting; using derogatory words to describe it, he is selfish.
They can usually hurt others without any scruples, and others will be really angry.
Will they apologize to each other symbolically? Is it okay if the other party accepts it? If not? They will immediately fall out. As if they are the most amazing people in the world. Such people may appear to be strong and self-respecting, but in fact they are just...
Will be looked down upon.
Then Cheng Hao made various speculations about He Xin's various anomalies.
She finally couldn't hold it in any longer, followed He Xin, and saw her husband and a young woman walking into the hotel.
When she arrived at the door, she overheard the applause for love starting in the room. She picked up the fire extinguisher and wanted to break in, but at this moment she heard the sound of a child calling her mother next to her. Cheng Hao stopped immediately and stood in order for the sake of the whole family.
, in order to let Xiaobao grow up healthily? She put down the fire extinguisher in her hand.
But she had to say this, so she thought of a way to call the police to report her husband.
"I want to report that someone is prostitution in the box directly opposite Chuxiong Building on Minzhu Road? Room 206 of Taoyuan Hotel?"
He Xin was arrested by the police and released on bail by Cheng Hao the next day.
Afterwards, Cheng Hao's attitude towards He Xin became even worse, and even Xiao Jing, who was having dinner with him, noticed it.
Knowing that Cheng Hao reported her husband, Xiao Jing said that Cheng Hao was crazy.
The stubborn Cheng Hao has a reason: "I just don't want others to take Ma Xuewu away!"
Xiao Jing hit the point in one sentence: "What have you been doing? Why didn't you treat him well? If you want him to stay by your side and not want to leave, that's what you're capable of!"
In fact, Cheng Hao himself knew that he was not good to He Xin.
But she also had her own reasons: "When Ma Xuewu knelt down and begged me to marry him, there were many people chasing me because of my appearance. It was his blessing that I married him, a country boy. Why should he not be nice to me?"
?”
Xiao Jing said that it was precisely because Cheng Hao thought this way that he could never catch He Xin.
Cheng Hao said that men are all cheap, and He Xin is just like Xiao Jing's scumbag husband.
Xiao Jing is more understanding than Cheng: "Don't compare Ma Xuewu with Liu Dongfeng, Liu Dongfeng is a bastard, and He Xin was forced to this path by you."
Liu Dongfeng is Xiaojing's husband.
He Xin's mother's hometown was demolished and she had no place to go, so He Xin took her mother to his own home.
Cheng Hao's face dropped as soon as he saw his mother-in-law. Cheng Hao, who had always looked down on country people, had a big quarrel with He Xin again.
The next day, He Xin received another layoff notice, and he learned that he was caught because Cheng Hao reported it.
He was so disillusioned that he committed suicide by drowning himself in the river.
In the suicide note left behind, He Xin said that he could not face the pain of life. He was sorry for his mother and Xiaobao, but he did not leave any last words for Cheng Hao.
Even at this time, Cheng Hao still thought that the fault was entirely someone else's.
She placed all the responsibility for He Xin's death on He Xin's mother.
"I told you not to come, don't come, you must come!"
But at the same time, she couldn't understand why such unfortunate things happened one after another after moving to a new home.
It was just Xiao Jing who spoke: "The first time I came to your house, I felt that there was something wrong with the house. I couldn't tell it at the time. You go back and take a look for yourself. I wish there were seven or eight roads running through your house downstairs.
, there are them in every direction, what is Feng Shui called? Thousands of arrows pierce the heart!"
At this point in the movie, the audience suddenly realized that this was what Feng Shui was talking about.
The stubborn Cheng Hao just didn't believe this evil: "When Ma Xuewu jumped into the river, I had to protect grandma and Xiaobao. The more I kept saying, this is called a ray of light!"
In order to support the family, Cheng Hao quit his job selling socks and started working as a carrying pole with Sister Cai. Although carrying a carrying pole is hard work, it is easy to earn one or two thousand a month as long as you are willing to work hard.
Cheng Hao gave all the money he earned to his grandma and told her to help him take care of Xiaobao's life and study. Not only did Xiaobao not appreciate it, he even put his father's photo on Cheng Hao's bed. He had heard it since he was a child.
He always blamed his mother for killing his father, and he vented his hatred for her in this way.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Cheng Hao walked through the streets with a pole every day. His skin became rough and his hair turned gray. Xiaobao grew up, from an unknown little kid to the tall and handsome Huang Xuan.
Upon seeing this, attentive viewers, especially knowledgeable filmmakers who attended the premiere, will find that the death of Ma Xuewu, played by He Xin, is used as the dividing point between the two parts of the film.
In the two paragraphs, the structure of the relationship between the characters is almost similar, both are triangular and pyramid-shaped.
The difference is that the first half mainly revolves around Cheng Hao, He Xin and the young Xiaobao. As the bottom of the pyramid relationship, He Xin and the young Xiaobao are dominated by Cheng Hao. The first half focuses on the exaggeration.
Cheng Hao's image as a tyrant, from the perspective of traditional gender discourse rights, this kind of relationship is unequal in family relationships.
In the second half, after He Xin's death, this pyramid relationship was reversed and became an inverted triangle. Cheng Hao moved to the bottom of the pyramid, while grandma and Xiaobao, who replaced He Xin as the traditional family image, stood at the top of the pyramid together.
Examine and control Cheng Hao's destiny.
Spatial relationships determine character relationships.
For example, in the first half, Cheng Hao discovered that He Xin and Wan Qian were spying on the police. After forgiving He Xin, he took him home from the factory. Cheng Hao walked arrogantly in front of the camera, while He Xin was just an out-of-focus figure in the camera.
image.
In the second half, the family sat around the table to eat. Cheng Hao was squeezed into the corner of the picture, and Xiaobao became the visual center of the picture. Between Xiaobao and Cheng Hao, you can see the portrait of his father He Xin.
In the background, this scene setting just shows that He Xin's death is an indelible scar that will forever remain between mother and son.
At the end of the movie, the grown-up Xiaobao, played by Huang Xuan, lived up to expectations and ranked first in the city in the college entrance examination. Cheng Hao also thought that he could finally pay off all the hardships, so in order to celebrate, the family of three had a meal at home.
At the dinner table, Huang Xuan took out the portrait of He Xin and toasted his father with a drink first, and then his grandma with the second cup. Cheng Hao said that he wanted to toast Xin with the third cup, but Huang Xuan accused her of not being qualified to toast his father. He served
He picked up a glass of wine and told Cheng Hao that after the two drank the glass of wine, they would sever the relationship between mother and son. From now on, he would pay for college by himself, and Cheng Hao would be asked to move out of the house and leave it to his grandma.
Cheng Hao's heart was completely broken. After ten years of hard work, what he got in return was that his son did not recognize him as his biological mother.
When Huang Xuan and Cheng Hao had their final argument on the rooftop, this was a panoramic shot, with Huang Xuan standing opposite Cheng Hao, one tall and strong, the other short and stooped, a stark contrast between characters.
After Cheng Hao collapsed and left, the scene was cross-cut with Huang Xuan's memories of investigating and finding out the cause of his father's death, and the scene of Cheng Hao walking alone along the Yangtze River and crying.
One is ultra-realistic and extremely high-key, the other is absolutely dark. The images are cross-edited and the strong contrast makes people feel moved by Cheng Hao's pain.
Cheng Hao sat crying by the river until midnight, when several young children asked Cheng Hao to take photos for them. Cheng Hao looked at these innocent and unrestrained children and smiled a little.
At this time, Cheng Hao suddenly had an epiphany, because she had never seen her son laugh as wildly as the children in front of her.
She finally figured it out and finally chose to leave the house ownership to her son and leave home by herself.
She was carrying her luggage with a shoulder pole. The scene at this time was different from all the previous shaking shoulder shots. The shot this time was very calm, because Cheng Hao had already made up her mind at this time. She was determined to leave this place that made her "
The home where thousands of arrows pierce the heart.
The deeper meaning of Thousand Arrows Pierced the Heart was finally revealed at this moment.
Cheng Hao didn't leave a word to her son. After going out, she met another man in her life - Jianjian. Jianjian apologized to her with a playful smile.
Cheng Hao warned him that his fate was not good, and whoever got close to her would be pierced by thousands of arrows!
But Jianjian said that they have both lived half their lives, and no one is much better than the other. He doesn't believe in the idea of a thousand arrows piercing the heart, and he is not afraid at all.
Cheng Hao took one last look at the house where he had lived for ten years, got into Jianjian's car and left.
At this time, Huang Xuan was standing in the corner watching this scene. When Cheng Hao got in the car and left, the camera switched to Huang Xuan's side, and the camera replaced his eyes, watching the car leave.
At this time, the audience could not see Huang Xuan's expression and did not know whether he was happy or worried. Wang Xiaoshuai deliberately used such an open-ended treatment to give the audience room for imagination.
Then the camera turned, changing the original internal visual focus into an objective God's perspective. The camera shot from a high place, watching Cheng Hao get into the car, the car turned off, she got out of the car to push the cart, and then got back into the car and followed the car away.
go……
The film ends here, which seems to symbolize that Cheng Hao's future life may not be very smooth!
