Because I liked Yishu when I was young, I was familiar with every one of her **, and when I saw Yishu's works in film and television, I felt very kind. But today, I watched the movie "Xi Bao" adapted from Yishu's famous work, which was like giving me a head start. No matter how a work is adapted, at least the central essence cannot be changedBut filming "Xi Bao" into a year-old love between an old husband and a young wife, who doesn't exclaim outrageously after watching it!
February**Dynamic Incentive Plan In Yishu's pen, there are many illusory characters, and Xibao is one of them. It is this kind of unreality and unreality that increases the sense of fatalism of the characters in the work, allowing the reader to perceive the depths of human nature, and give birth to a mysterious charm.
Xibao in the original book is a spicy, straightforward, and resolute ** beauty, she relies on her lonely courage to break through in society, and dares to ask boys to pay the bill at the age of twelve; With a one-way ticket to London, he was admitted to Cambridge from a pheasant secretary school; In the name of love, he also found a restaurateur to pay for expensive tuition and living expenses.
Because of the "meeting" of Cunzi, Xibao has changed from a poor student who worries about tuition fees to a materially wealthy person. She gave her everything money could buy: jewelry, diamond rings, Scottish castles, all-radar yachts. Because everything came too easily, Xibao gradually lost and did not want to forge ahead; A smart girl who once aspired to complete her studies, obtain a lawyer's license, and break into the world, both indulged in unearned wealth, and was torn between yearning for freedom and willing confinement, and finally fell into a deep depression.
And such a character setting, such a heroine Xibao, is naturally full of controversy, unetiquette, and unconventional. I can't pass the trial.
So when it was remade into a movie, the screenwriter waved his hand and adapted everything that violated the law into a law, and adapted everything that was unreasonable into reasonable.
One of the adaptations, in the original book, in order to let Xibao follow him wholeheartedly, in addition to killing Hans, who fell in love with Xibao, he also killed Xibao's mother. How can such a dark male protagonist behave, of course it has to be changed, in addition to canceling the character of Hans, Xibao's mother also died of illness at the beginning.
Xibao's mother, Ms. Jiang, was originally a flight attendant, and the charm still exists, she no longer loves her prodigal ex-husband, she takes her eldest daughter alone, and Xibao's three views are the same: even if she is poor, she must buy a beautiful dress for her daughter, and ask someone to send her daughter to a noble school, she thinks that beauty is a girl's pass to get rid of poverty.
But when the mother in the movie was dying, she said: "He is the only love in my life." "I love a runaway man until I die. The beginning laid the foundation of pure love for the film and drama.
The second adaptation is that the original Xibao is a visual beauty with ***; is not as beautiful, intelligent, and innocent as Guo Caijie in the movie. Because of the change in the heroine's image, the film version suddenly became very innocent, and it also seemed that the eldest sister was sarcastic when she first saw the heroine, which was very unreasonable.
How could Jiang Xibao be an elf-like woman? Take a look at these famous quotes from her:
Every woman must have many men as stepping stones in her life. ”
I came to society with my bare hands, and if I don't step on people, people will trample on me, and people don't do it for themselves. Heaven and earth are destroyed, and I would rather him die than I die. ”
I don't mind selling my youth. Youth will pass if it is not sold. ”
If someone says he loves me, I don't rejoice in it unless his love can be discounted. If someone says he hates me, I won't worry about it, the sun will still rise tomorrow. ”
It is not too difficult for a young woman to aspire to climb up, and she must aspire to do it early. ”
I have no enmity with money, as long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter if I suffer all kinds of humiliation. ”
Men are like that, and the only time to be obedient is on the pillow. When a man sleeps next to a woman, he wants him to be as long as he wants, and he is as short as he wants. When he got out of bed, he was a different person. ”
I am most afraid of others sacrificing for me, anyone who uses this kind of word, will regret it afterwards, and there will be a person who will tell me every day how to sacrifice for me back then, I can't stand it. ”
Who is not afraid of posture? I'm scared too. I'm afraid that he will be too careful, and I'm afraid that he will be powerful. The most important thing is that we all want to get a good deal from him, and we are most afraid that we will not be able to get it. ”
The third adaptation, in the book, Miao Cunzi's wife is a forty-year-old middle-aged woman, and knowing that three is the high-voltage line of romance films! In order to pass the trial, it was really not easy, the screenwriter of the movie directly erased the name "Ouyang Xiuli", set Ao Cunzi as a single person, and changed the relationship to a love relationship. See Mr. Yang and Ms. Weng in China, what is the age difference? What is the obstacle to such a relationship, the love of adults, even if there is money and sex transactions, as long as the parties are willing to do so, it is also natural.
Adaptation fourth, Jia Ming, who has lived in the Miao family for many years, said several times, "Miao Cunzi is an extremely tough person, accompanied by a king like a tiger", in the book, Miao Cunzi drove Xibao home for the first time, and knew that her home was **, what the background was, and knew which school she attended, and who her boyfriend was. When he saw Xibao, he immediately found out her ins and outs, which was very in line with his authoritarian, autocratic, and controlling personality. So he was in his chest, he proposed a date when he first met, and when he met for the second time, he gave a ring and proposed to be raised, and he was sure that Xibao could only accept it. But in the film, he said that it was because he was old and felt that time was short, and he met someone he liked, so he was particularly urgent. Who wouldn't be confused if it's so romantic?
Adaptation No. 5, Miao Congshu in the book is gay, he likes Xibao only because she is as hardcore and resolute as a boy, with Hong Kong as the background back then, which is almost legal, but how can the Miao family understand it, his family has a "throne" to continue. So with the intervention of his family, Congshu committed suicide several times due to depression. And in order to pass the trial, the movie had to change this, and Miao Congshu became neurotic because of the death of his mother, and was later sent to a mental hospital.
Adaptation sixth, Hans did not appear in the movie, but changed to Xibao and Song Jiaming, the son-in-law of the Miao family, who was gradually attracted by the same experience and fell in love, and was finally noticed by Ao Cunzi, the authoritarian and arbitrary business overlord, who could not allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, so he was angry and designed a hunt, and Song Jiaming fell off his horse and died.
In order to be concise and concise, it is necessary to reduce some side characters, which I think makes a lot of sense. In the original book, after Xibao's mother passed away, Jiaming did everything for her, accompanied her to Australia to pay her respects, and carefully accompanied and comforted, if this is not love, if these postures can be tolerated, it is too inconsistent with his personality. What's more, Jia Ming in the original book is a cowardly person, obviously extremely talented, but he refuses to be independent, even if he is smart and leaves, he still lives in the shadow of the family, and finally can only choose religion as an escape. Such an ending is very Hong Kong-style, but it is very unrealistic.
After several major changes, Yishu's famous work "Xi Bao", a book about fishing girls, lost its original face and became a mutual redemption between rich and poor women. Become two people with disparities in wealth and status, from love at first sight to a true love story that attracts each other. In the end, Jiang Xibao also came to his senses because of love, gave up his low-hanging wealth, and embarked on the road of finding himself.
Although love does not have to be confined to the practical problem of helping the world and saving people, but Yishu wrote "Xi Bao", clearly with the thinking of the essence of life, she described Xi Bao with a critical and tolerant attitude, describing her inner weakness, vanity, behind the text is deep mourning and sorrow.
"Xi Bao" has been published for more than 40 years, and it has also been popular with readers, many girls, who once took Xi Bao's pursuit as their own pursuit: love, many, many loves. Money, enough money. And health. Think of it as a very realistic and very real wish. When the reader examines the distorted life of the characters in the book, he is also using it to examine himself, so as to construct his own personality edifice and get rid of mental spasms and pain.
The original book "Xi Bao" is a revelation:A life of hard work is meaningful; Shortcuts, often accompanied by great risks and sacrifices. And the film version of "Xi Bao", the love and wealth that fell from the sky, will only tempt people to fantasize, to substitute, and look forward to the day when a savior like Cunzi can appear in his miserable life. Isn't that outrageous?
The first half of my life was changed like this, after all, it was vulgar.
