"Sauvignon Blanc" is a spy war drama starring Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, Zhao Wei, etc., adapted from the same name of the Mai family**, which tells the story of the struggle and sacrifice between the underground party of the Communist Party of China and the Japanese Military Command Bureau during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in 1941. Among them, Xiang Liu (played by Tan Jianci) is a nine-life demon fox, his mask is made by him with his own spiritual power, and he can appear and disappear as he wants. So, why did Sang-ryu's mask disappear?There are several reasons for this:
Soyanagi's mask is his protective color, and he uses it to hide his true identity so that he doesn't find out he's a youkai. However, when he meets someone he is interested in or wants to be convinced, he will take the initiative to remove the mask and show his true face to attract the attention of the other person, or to express his sincerity. For example, when he met Xiaoliu (played by Zhou Xun) for the first time, he was attracted by her singing voice and wanted to take her for himself, so he took the initiative to remove the mask and reveal a bewitching face, which can also be seen as the "beautiful man trick" he used against Xiaoliu.
Sang-ryu's mask is his psychological defense, and he uses it to hide his emotions so as not to be seen through his mind. However, when he meets someone he cares about or wants to protect, he can't help but put down his mask and show his sincerity in order to express his feelings or seek understanding from the other person. For example, when he met Ye Qiqi (played by Li Bingbing) for the first time, he was attracted by her temperament and wanted to confide in her, so he inadvertently put down his mask and showed a sincere smile, which can also be seen as a kind of show of favor to Ye Qiqi.
Sang-ryu's mask is his symbol, and he uses it to represent his identity, to show his majesty, or to mock the ignorance of the other party. However, when he meets someone he is hostile to or wants to eliminate, he will deliberately take off his mask and show his true nature in order to release his anger or provoke the other person's guts. For example, when he first met Chang Wannian (played by Zhao Lixin), he was enraged by his cruelty and wanted to fight him to the death, so he deliberately took off his mask and showed his ** gaze, which can also be seen as a challenge to Chang Wannian.
To sum up, the reason why Sang-ryu's mask disappeared is because his mask is a means for him, and he can change his image anytime and anywhere according to his purpose and mood to achieve his own goals, or to express his emotions. Sangyanagi's mask is also a charm of his, he can use different faces to attract different people, or surprise different people. Xiangliu's mask is even more of his sadness, because he is a monster, he can't get along with humans, and can only use the mask to hide his loneliness, or seek his own belonging.
