Let's talk about the recent hit drama tonight
Yi Nian Guan Mountain".
In our current environment of slashing the "love brain", not to mention whether the views are correct or not, "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" appeared under the banner of anti-love brain, and completed the catering to the current environment, it must please the public.
From the point of view of what it likes, 7The Douban score of 5 is understandable.
But if you put these aside and only talk about the text, the transfer of emotional routines, the fragmented narrative, and the tangible heroine, this score will bring more than surprise.
Moving on to this score, let's talk about the "do what you like" part.
"Yi Nian Guan Mountain" is not an ancient puppet drama that purely talks about love, outside the main line of love, it is intertwined with the court's conspiracy and the affection of the rivers and lakes.
In the dispute between the two countries, the emperor of Wuguo was captured by Anguo, and the latter proposed 100,000 taels of ** and the emperor's envoy from the prince as an exchange condition.
In this context of the story, the series extends a lot of subplots to take on the depiction of the deceitful temple battles.
For example, the princess Yang Ying (played by He Lan), who was promoted as the envoy of the emperor in the weighing of interests, the team formed to escort the envoy of the emperor, Yu 13 (played by Fang Yilun), Yuan Lu (played by Chen Youwei), the imperial guard Qian Zhao (played by Wang Yizhe), etc., as well as the love and hatred in the royal families of the two countries.
The love between men and women on the main line, and the group portrait on the side line, make the story itself not thin.
The screenwriter also asked almost all the female characters in it to shout that common slogan-To have power and career, the lines are all stepping on the audience's cool point.
In terms of character creation, "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" is adoptedDouble-strong setting, the male protagonist Ning Yuanzhou (played by Liu Yuning), the master of the Liudao Hall of Wuguo, both civil and military, can not only be one as ten, but also rely on wits to successfully clear the customs. Female director Ruyi (played by Liu Shishi), the former left envoy of Anguo Zhu Yiwei, was born as a killer.
AndThe hostess in the early stage is quite pleasing, in her, there is a charm hidden in the identity of the white sparrow, committed to people, and then reversed, showing her ability as a killer and decisive character.
At the beginning of the series, she also worked hard to shape her into a "sober world" type.
She asks why Linglong sacrifices herself twice for a manIn order to let Yang Ying grow up quickly, she very directly dissected the truth of the power struggle to her, and asked what was good about marrying.
Coupled with the light comedy genre of the drama itself, this drama is not very good in the ancient puppet drama market, but it is quite flattering.
And the problem is also in this "ingenuity".Because its essence is a utilitarian means, it does not complete the internalization and expression of consciousness in the true sense.
is more typical, borrowing the heroine's character to create a feeling of "absolute heroine".
How?
It's in individual scenesUsing the method of gender inversion, the female character is reversed. To put it more bluntly, it is what we stereotype as what men often do, what they often say, and let female characters do it.
This method is good, and it was also used in the previous movie "The Myth of Love".
But a little comparison will find that in "Yi Nian Guan Mountain".There are a lot of traps in the gender transition, which only creates the feeling of a big heroine, but does not really complete the expression of female consciousness.
Let's take a classic example from "The Myth of Love" first, eating.
In this scene, all the women at the table are chatting about food, so that the only man, Mr. Bai, becomes the praise of women. They compared a dish on the table to this man, and they all pondered each other's "dishes" and had something to say.
When we mistakenly thought that the story would enter the vulgarity of several women robbing a man, Miss Li suddenly changed her mind and said that the customer is God, why should she grab it for a chef, and the initiative quietly changed.
Whether it is this scene, or before and after this scene, several women who suddenly broke in turned Miss Li and Teacher Bai's private dishes into big pot dishes;Gloria got drunk and stayed to have sex with Teacher Bai, who woke up at a loss and wanted to talk, but the woman didn't care and "paid" the other party in the name of buying Teacher Bai's paintings.
It is in a very coherent play, showing an embedded female perspective and female consciousness.
And the gender transition of this movie is also for entertainmentBut it's in a way that's entertainingThe stereotypes of the relationship between the sexes are reversed, and in turn the stereotypes are ridiculed and reflected.
Let's take a look at "Yi Nian Guan Mountain", which is dealing with gender transitionEntertainment is both a means and an end.
Screenwriter'sReverse writing is actually very routine, and many of them are transplants of old stalks.
For example, when the two were walking at night, passers-by collided with each other, and Ren Ruyi hugged Ning Yuanzhou and turned around to dodge.
Ren Ruyi used his body to suppress Ning Yuanzhou and forced the other party to have a child. Ning Yuanzhou yelled to show resistance, but Ren Ruyi said to him, "If you shout and cut your throat, no one will save you." In the end, Yu Thirteen came to resolve the deadlock, and the line was also "let him go and let me come".
The second is in fragmented, fragmented scenesThe heroine seems to have become the initiator of a particular act, but she does not have the initiative to advance the narrativeComplete the subversion of active and passive positions in the true sense.
For example, Ren Ruyi wanted to get close to Ning Yuanzhou, so he took the initiative to inquire about the preferences of other people's male protagonists. Ning Yuanzhou likes sweets, so he bought him candy;Knowing that he loved carving objects, he bought carving knives as gifts for each other.
As for why she likes each other and why she pleases her, except for the reason for having a child that will be talked about later, the heroine's motives are very vague.
For another example, Ren Ruyi took Yang Ying and Yuan Lu to Jinsha Tower, and there was a male waiter by his side, and then he was bumped into by Ning Yuanzhou, who was jealous because Ren Ruyi didn't care, and called Yu Thirteen to borrow wine to kill his sorrows.
This scene is a reversal of men's drunkenness and women's jealousy, and the underlying logic is just like the "**" of Gloria and Teacher Bai written earlier
But the purpose of the former is not to reflect on gender issues through contrast and ridiculeThe focus is on highlighting and representing the male role in this way, jealous, listen to Yu Thirteen to make women jealous, and then deliberately snub and alienate each other.
Not only does this make the series fall into the old narrative routine, but the reactions, dialogues, and focus of the two reveal a lingering view of chastity.
Therefore, what "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" shapes is only the feeling of the "big heroine", a film of "big heroine". Even it didn't pay attention to maintaining this illusion, and it completely punctured it with its backhand.
This kind of self-destructive behavior is to impose a motive on the female protagonist to have children with the male protagonist no matter what.
In order to rationalize her behavior, the episode constantly flashes back to Ren Ruyi's conversation with Empress Zhaojie. Before she died, Empress Zhaojie instructed Ren Ruyi: "You can't fall in love with a man, but you must have your own children." ”
Maybe the screenwriter's original intention was to show the goodwill of Empress Zhaojie, to let Ren Ruyi be an ordinary person again;Maybe it's to highlight the immaturity behind the cold-faced killer, and the sincerity of unconditionally believing in the person you love.
But these are all things that need to be guessed, and the ink of the series is more about the separation between the motives of the behavior and the heroine's design.
and exposing the subconscious behind it, which emphasizes the uncivilized nature of the heroine in terms of gender ethics.
For example, Ning Yuanzhou revealed his feelings for Ren Ruyi to his friends, and the subtext was to express sympathy for Ren Ruyi, in his perspective, Ren Ruyi was using clumsy means to express his love, imitating the way a man courted a woman to express his sincerity.
More obviously, Ning Yuanzhou was jealous and found Yu Thirteen to be relieved, and Yu Thirteen used dialogue to externalize Ning Yuanzhou's subjective psychology, that is, Ren Ruyi seems to be a demon, but other places are not enlightened.
And later, he began to play the role of a civilizer, guiding Ren Ruyi to think about why he wanted to have children, and the series then used this care and enlightenment to write a reason why women love men more deeply.
Maybe there seems to be some moments when we mistakenly think that the series is dissecting the man's psychological world to see his understanding and tolerance of her. But it is also these imaginations that make us ignore that we have always stood in the subjective perspective of a man, to observe, to gaze at what he thinks and understands women.
Therefore, "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" does not write about men around women, but always shapes women around men, and women still serve the functional roles of men.
The so-called independence and sobriety are all stuck in the shriveled character lines, and Ren Ruyi's appearance is just an imitation of male society after all, and it is by no means subversive.
Talking about this, let's talk about the emotional drama in it, and the answer couldn't be more obvious.
The female protagonist falling in love with the male protagonist is the goal, not the process.
Lack of details, and can't see the heart through love.
Even the emotional advancement of the twoIt's all by copying and pasting fixed routinesThere are so many that they are about to complete the argument - love is a routine.
Most of the plots in it can be simplified as: the male protagonist does good, but it happens to be secretly seen by the female protagonist;The male protagonist revealed his true heart to others, and happened to be overheard by the female protagonist.
The role of martial arts elements may be to make men and women face more dangers when they are emotionally advanced, to achieve mutual rescue from each other, and to make the transmission of internal force without hesitation an expression of love.
Not only is love driven by coincidence, but also quite a few plotsChronic diseases deliberately designed for a specific purpose, lacking foreshadowing and coherence.
For example, when the envoy to welcome the emperor was resting at the post station, a child wearing filial piety clothes suddenly appeared and threw stones at Yang Ying. The guards and soldiers present were as if they had known in advance, neatly surrounded Yang Ying, and began to preach one after another.
One asked the man's age, the other answered the phone to explain the conscription of the saints, and finally Ning Yuanzhou came to a summary, the duty of the people is to live and work in peace and contentment, and the whole ceremony is very abrupt.
If the so-called appearance, form, and coolness of casting their favors can become the evaluation criteria for measuring a drama, then domestic ancient puppets can indeed only go barren.
