"I only come to Goose City for three things: fairness, fairness, and fucking fairness!"
"Stand up! No kneeling!"
Zhang Mazi's domineering declaration angered Huang Silang, who was the king of Echeng, and he made his own counterattack.
If Zhang Mazi wants to be fair, he will subvert his fairness.
In a nutshell -
Kill people, but also kill your heart!
So he asked Hu Wan and Wu Zhichong to sing a double act in the tea hall in front of the gentry and common people in the city, forcing the waiter who sold jelly to frame Liu Zi, and forced Liu Zi to commit suicide.
Previously, when "Let the Bullets Fly" was first released, many people felt depressed and aggrieved after watching this episode.
In their opinion, there was no need for Liuzi to die, let alone such a cowardly death method as having a caesarean section to prove whether he had eaten one bowl of rice noodles or two bowls of rice noodles.
But later, as a large number of film critics analyzed it, ordinary viewers understood the deeper meaning of this plot.
Liangfen is just a medium, what he really refers to is the fairness mentioned by Zhang Mazi.
Liuzi is Zhang Mazi's son, and he represents Zhang Mazi in the eyes of the people of Echeng.
It doesn't matter how many bowls of noodles you have eaten. What matters is whether Liuzi or Zhang Mazi behind him can keep the fairness they promised to the people.
Liuzi was innocent, but he met a tea-lecture hall who could not repay his innocence. Even if he had a caesarean section to prove his innocence, no one would care.
They don't care about the truth, they just want you to die.
Hu Wan said, isn't this "bullying honest people"? He held high the banner of morality and forced the six sons to have a caesarean section, but he told you calmly, "I know how many bowls of noodles you have eaten, and you have been fooled."
Leader Guo has a saying that is so fitting here.
The person who wronged you will always know better than you how wronged you are!
The instigator screamed, passers-by looked on indifferently, and the person involved screamed in anger, but it didn't help.
Even if the truth is revealed, no one will care. People will just chase the next farce of eating jelly.
In a sense, the plot of "Let the Bullets Fly" is more ironic than the previous "Standing to Make Money", and it can still perfectly fit many phenomena in reality.
Liuzi died, and an angry Zhang Mazi wanted to kill him for revenge, but was stopped by his master.
Liuzi committed suicide to prove Zhang Mazi's innocence. He looked cowardly, but was actually heroic.
Let this be a fair fight, Zhang Mazi did not lose.
But if he wants to kill Hu Wan, then the matter cannot be explained clearly. The six sons died in vain, so Hu Wan cannot be killed.
Huang Silang wanted to kill someone, and Zhang Mazi wanted to take revenge, but also wanted to return it intact.
The audience watching this plot was very depressed, especially Hu Wan played by Sha Yi, who made people hate him so much that they wanted to rush into the screen and slap him in the face.
Han Jun is a true fan of "Wulin Gaiden". When he saw this, even Bai Zhantang's filter made him feel disgusted with the character Hu Wan from the bottom of his heart.
Ho...bah!
………
Zhang Mazi finally held back, and they held a funeral for Liu Zi. Zhang Mazi and others vowed to avenge Liu Zi.
Huang Silang was also thinking about how he should deal with Zhang Mazi.
Treat them to guests, behead them, and treat them like dogs.
He chose the first one, and if it went well, the third one would also be a matter of course.
The master was focused on making money and thought this was an opportunity to join forces with Huang Silang to make money, but Zhang Mazi had other ideas.
The banquet started, and the three top movie kings from China gathered together to contribute a classic episode that can record the history of film.
Regarding this scene, various film reviews on the Internet have described a large number of metaphors and implications.
Regardless of whether everyone is overly imagining it or not, judging from the plot alone, this scene is actually not complicated, and many things are kept on the surface.
On the surface, this "Hongmen Banquet" is a confrontation between Zhang and Huang's forces, but in fact, it is a game between three parties.
Zhang Mazi and Huang Silang are both positive and negative, and the master is an opportunist who swings in the middle.
The whole play can be divided into three parts.
In the first part, Huang Silang tested Zhang Mazi. He first pretended to apologize for murder, and then proposed that both parties make money in the name of suppressing bandits.
The master was moved by Huang Silang and pretended to be confused, but the topic kept turning to money and Zhang Mazi remained silent.
The mutual testing between the three parties ended, and the banquet began to enter its second part.
Zhang Mazi was unwilling to make small money in the name of the robbers, but insisted on suppressing the robbers. On the surface, he was standing up for Huang Silang, but in fact, he was refuting Huang Silang's face.
The master felt that suppressing the bandits was unreliable, and expressed dissatisfaction that "the pace is too big, and it is easy to pull the ball."
The master's face of running for money made Zhang Mazi wary of him.
Finally the third part has arrived.
Zhang Mazi gave up his pre-plan and instead took the opportunity to show off his muscles for Huang Silang.
Huang Silang realized that Zhang Mazi was not easy to deal with, so he reached a cooperation on the surface and even gave diamonds to paralyze Zhang Mazi, but secretly he had murderous intentions.
The last part of the flattery of the three people is actually the attitude shown by the three people in this scene.
Master is high!
Pretending to be confused, swinging from side to side, bent on making money.
The county magistrate is tough!
Faced with Huang Silang's bribery, he was merciless in his threats and responded forcefully.
Mr. Huang is tall and hard!
He resorted to frequent tactics, both soft and hard, and maintained a high profile from beginning to end. He killed three people during the banquet to show his strength and right to speak at all times, and to warn Zhang and Master.
This ten-minute scene has a fast pace and a huge amount of information. Every word of the lines and every expression of the actors are worthy of analysis.
There is not much atmosphere exaggeration, but it allows the audience to see the flash of swords and shadows.
The three movie kings gave wonderful performances, and it was even more of a fight between gods.
Jiang Wen's acting has his own aura and is full of domineering, and Fa Ge is not willing to give in, and fully interprets Huang Silang's ruthlessness and strength.
In comparison, Uncle Ge's performance was very "soft", but his sense of presence was no worse than the other two, and he perfectly combined the performances of the two best actors.
The atmosphere of the entire banquet was kept intense, but there was no direct confrontation.
The rhythm, the lines, the actors, the plot, the atmosphere... the heat was just right, and it was a pleasure for Han Jun to watch it.
The only regret is that I can only watch it once.
If you want to watch this episode again, you have to buy a second ticket, or wait until more than a month later, when "Let the Bullets Fly" will be released on the video website.
Han Jun finally understood why the bespectacled young man had watched "Let the Bullets Fly" so many times. There were too many plots in it worth savoring and watching over and over again.
Now that the movie is less than half, Han Jun wants to book the tickets for the next one...
………
Zhang Mazi "came back drunk", but shamelessly lived with his master, who was so frightened that he thought he was going to sleep with him.
As for Huang Silang, after the treat, he realized that Zhang Mazi and he were not from the same group, so he immediately took out the last card.
Behead!
Hu Wan, who had died at the banquet, was "resurrected" and raided the county government office with his killers. Unexpectedly, Zhang Mazi had been prepared. They only killed one of the county magistrate's wives, and then the whole army was wiped out.
The tragic death of the county magistrate's wife greatly stimulated the master. He held his wife's body and cried bitterly, admitting for the first time that he was the real county magistrate.
At this time, Huang Silang came to support on the surface, but actually came to see the situation.
Zhang Mazi held his wife's body in his arms, recited the whole text, imitated the master's words and tone, and cried again.
Master: "......"
What he said were all my words!
It is worth mentioning here that the master once had murderous intentions towards Huang Silang because his wife died in Huang's hands.
Although he tolerated it later, from this moment on, the master who was leaning toward Huang Silang because of the Hongmen Banquet temporarily turned to Zhang Mazi.
Zhang Mazi then tricked Huang Silang and the two major families into coming in the name of organizing a funeral for his wife, and arranged for the third child to pretend to be a ma bandit and arrest them.
Just when Zhang Mazi and his master were happy, Huang Silang suddenly appeared. It turned out that the "Huang Silang" who had just been arrested was a substitute.
The master was greatly disappointed, but Zhang Mazi became more and more courageous and wanted to fight Huang Silang more and more.
Not long after, Zhang Mazi got the money from the two major families. A group of brothers and masters were ready to take it as soon as they were ready, but Zhang Mazi insisted not to leave.
What he wants is Huang Silang's money, and he wants to avenge his wife and six sons.
Zhang Mazi distributed the money to the poor in the name of the Mazi, and there was great joy throughout Echeng.
However, when she was the second and third child, Sister Hua discovered her identity, so she was taken back to her lair, and Zhang Mazi kept her.
Huang Silang learned about the money being distributed by the bandits and confirmed Zhang Mazi's identity. He sent his own people to pretend to be the bandits and steal the money to do evil and ruin the reputation of the bandits.
Huang Silang's people all mobilized to perform the most requested segment of "Let the Bullets Fly"!
This scene is also the largest scene since Zuo Le directed it. It took a lot of efforts to be released to the public.
When the knowledgeable audience saw this, they shouted inwardly that they were awesome, and even this scene could be shown.
The next day, the victim and his wife came to the county government office to complain.
There is actually a little reminder here. In the past, any dispute cases in Echeng were placed in the tea lecture hall, such as the Liuzi case. Although it was calculated by Hu Wan and others, it can be seen.
And now that people have brought grievances to the county government, it shows that Zhang Mazi's authority has begun to be confirmed in the minds of the people in Echeng.
The attachment of people's hearts is also an important foreshadowing for the plot below.
After learning about this, Zhang Mazi and others also staged another famous scene in the movie.
The master took the lead in attacking and reprimanded everyone loudly and righteously.
"Smash it, smash you, rabbits will know not to eat the grass beside their nests."
"Six people, in front of someone's husband, and letting people watch, bah, disgusting!"
"I turned off the lights!"
After the reprimand was over, the master, who purely loved soldiers, gave his earnest and sincere advice.
"You can spend some money on this kind of thing. It doesn't cost much. Even if you do it secretly, you are just like a bandit. You are worse than a bandit."
Master Tang, who was getting more and more angry as he spoke, cursed "disgusting" and walked away.
The master left, and Zhang Mazi, who had been quiet all the time, looked at the Mazi brothers, Lao Qi first.
Lao Qi panicked and hurriedly defended: "Brother, you know me. I never do anything to bully others. I like to be passive."
"by"
Zhang Mazi looked at Lao San again.
The third child: "Brother, you know me well. With my habit, I don't ask for anything from others."
"Craftsman"
Zhang Mazi looked at Lao Si again.
The fourth child: "Brother, you know me well. If it were me, no one would be alive to complain."
"Ruthless Man"
Lao Wu: "Brother, you know me well. Although I am the oldest, I am still... commonly known as a virgin."
"Innocence"
The second child: "Brother, you know me well. If I take action, it will be her husband lying on the table."
《GAY》
Zhang Mazi praised the brothers for their "unique skills" and also pointed out who was lying.
Master Tang.
Such a crude plan, Master Tang is so smart that he can't fail to see that he was just pretending to be confused.
So, Zhang Mazi and others rushed to the master's room, searched the room with guns, and found out a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms.
"who?"
"Child, kid."
"Child? Whose?"
"mine?"
"Are you a child? How old are you?"
"Eight years old."
"Is this fucking eight years old??!!"
"No one believes it, even I don't believe it. At the age of three, he is as tall as his mother. At the age of five, he is almost catching up with me. At the age of eight, he is like this."
"..."
During this scene, the theater erupted with the most enthusiastic laughter ever heard in the movie. Han Junle burst into tears with laughter, and it took him half a minute to catch his breath.
It is worth mentioning that the person who plays the role of the master’s wife is Tian Yan, the proprietress of Shanhe, and the person who plays the eight-year-old child is Zuo Le’s good brother Chen Beibai and Chen Fatty.
Today, Fatty Chen is already the director of Dongshan TV Television Production Center and a strong contender to be the next deputy director.
Having reached this position in his forties, Fatty Chen has had a smooth career.
If nothing unexpected happens in the future, Director Dongshan is very promising. If he is lucky, he may be promoted to the provincial level before retirement.
The original two heroes in the center, one is a nationally famous director, and the other is expected to become a high-level provincial and Taiwanese director.
In addition, there is also an official mouthpiece, Tian Yan. In recent years, Dongshantai has used these people to show off its talent and has also lured many good prospects into joining the company.
Although Fatty Chen and Zuo Le don't have much contact, the relationship they had when they started working together is still there, and they occasionally get together to visit each other.
When Zuo Le was filming "Let the Bullets Fly", Fatty Chen also had a crew filming at the Changqing Film and Television Base. He came to visit the crew and hang out with Zuo Le, but he ended up being targeted.
Originally, this role was cast by Vice President Ming Yan, who is also the chief producer of "Let the Bullets Fly."
But after Zuo Le saw Fatty Chen, he felt that Mingyan was a familiar face, and it was more impressive without Fatty Chen's new face. Moreover, Fatty Chen's spherical figure was more "cute" and funny.
Zuo Le took the three major movie stars to make friendly guest appearances in Fatty Chen's homemade drama in exchange for the future deputy director Chen's sacrifice for art.
Zuo Le specially gave Chen Fatty a bald head, leaving only a small peach heart on the top of his forehead. He wore a Bu Gua bellyband, put blush on his face, and deliberately pursed his mouth, like a New Year painting that had been damaged for decades.
Fat doll.
Not to mention that his image was ruined, what frustrated Fatty Chen the most was that he had to call Tian Yan’s mother in the play, which allowed Zuo Le and his wife to take advantage.
But this is not Zuo Le's bad taste. Tian Yan's role has been decided for a long time. This is all fate and coincidence.
Later, the self-produced drama in which Zuo Le and others guest-starred was released, and the behind-the-scenes story was revealed, and it became a small easter egg in "Let the Bullets Fly."
