The Four Heavenly Kings of Renjie directed by Tsui Hark was recently released. Di Renjie, played by Mark Chao, became a fatal threat to Wu Zetian's road to power. This interpretation, Lao Di can't be ignored.
Di Renjie in the movie is completely different from the real Di Renjie in history. For this kind of "joke" element, I can only say that perhaps because of the comprehensive consideration of the visual art and box office performance of the film, Xu Laoguai did not hesitate to take the sword aside.
Volcanoes will end one day, let alone people! Therefore, even if Tsui Hark's talent is like a volcano, there is no guarantee that he will not end the eruption. At the moment when Jiang Lang was at a loss, "Zhu Yan's words are like flowers in the mirror, but the most important thing is that he can't stay in the world". Seo no wonder he didn't have the cheek to carry this weird thing through to the end, even at the expense of making Di Renjie the 007 of the Tang Dynasty in China. From Xu Daxia to Xu Laoguai, Tsui Hark is just like this. After all, time waits for no one!
He wants to use his life's film experience to make one cultural undertaking after another that is sure to make money and live up to his conscience. Unfortunately, most of the audience have long regarded his works as popcorn.
I think the Di Renjie series started with the first Di Renjie Empire on 20 10. In eight years, Tsui Hark produced three films, and I watched three.
Looking back suddenly, I found a situation: although Tsui Hark, like a Go master, has wonderfully implanted some sequel eggs in every film, this fantasy suspense martial arts film has reached the end of its tether under the repeated hype of one person.
Lao Xu, it's time to change! Continue to upgrade, there is not much space.
Without buying and selling, there is no killing; Without contrast, there is no harm. Some people say that after reading Chen Kaige's The Promise, I think Zhang Yimou's Hero is not bad. Now I want to say that after reading Chen Kaige's The Legend of the Demon Cat, I think Tsui Hark's Di Renjie series is still good.
Why are you so mean? Because of the so-called commercial elements in De Renjie's series, it is no wonder that there are two words 14: conspiracy scenes, science and funny Wu Zetian.
I want to use Lao Di's big IP, but I don't want to honestly "originate from history". I just want to be free and unconstrained style, and even have some so-called "Guan Gong vs Qin Qiong", which is not only funny, but also funny.
To put it bluntly, many people go to the movies, not for Di Renjie, but for Tsui Hark-buy gifts and return pearls! You saw the movie Dee Renjie, not the movie Tsui Hark. I think Tsui Hark knows this very well: no one who chews popcorn knows Di Renjie anyway, so I can do it! As a result, one after another, "Di Renjie popcorn" appeared.
So I think it is necessary to give you a little knowledge of Renjie's "lace", which is better than being led by the nose.
In history, Di Renjie was first a local official with a low rank, but he worked well and diligently. Do you have a gift for solving crimes? Yes, he has accumulated nearly 20 years of experience in solving crimes at the local level. In the second year of Shangyuan (675), the old emperor was transferred to the central government and became Cheng Dali.
The rank of this official post is not high, but it has only started from the sixth grade, but its position is important-in the words of ordinary people, "the radish is not big and grows on the back"-it is responsible for the trial and judgment of capital cases, and it also reviews judgments from all over the country.
After working in Dali Temple, Di Renjie was called "Desperate Saburo"! After a year of fighting day and night, the backlog of cases has been cleared, involving as many as 17000 people. There was no grievance afterwards, let alone the so-called "state compensation"! From today's perspective, it is also amazing!
But the emperor at that time was not Wu Zetian, but her husband Tang Gaozong. The emperor was very happy, so he promoted Di Renjie as "counselor". The history of suggestion is the official of the suggestion station, which belongs to the supervision system, similar to the supervision department today.
The rank of this official is still not high. Just like Cheng Dali, he is still from Grade 6 to Level 6. But don't underestimate this official position. This is called an "official in the circle", similar to graduating from the Central Party School. Through this official position, it is equivalent to entering the circle, and the promotion speed is faster than that in other institutions. So, the emperor put Di Renjie on the list of "cultivating supervisory cadres with emphasis".
The suggestion is the "gendarmerie" among officials. Therefore, during his term of office, Emperor rudely impeached two favorite ministers: Wei Hongji, Minister of Agriculture, and Wang Zuosi, a doctor. The former made great efforts for Emperor Gaozong, making it magnificent and costly.
Di Renjie impeached Wei Hongji and guided the boss to pursue extravagance. When the boss saw it, it was great. The scapegoat came and Wei was dismissed. Pride goes before a fall, and Wang is no exception. Being favored, he got carried away and took advantage of his kindness. When Di Renjie was impeached, he had to pick up his purse and leave obediently. "The court was awed by it.".
Everyone will feel deja vu after reading this-isn't this Bao Zheng in the Tang Dynasty? Yes, Di Renjie's execution is super strong, his judgment is like a god, and he is selfless, which really resembles the image of Lao Bao. This is probably an important reason why Di Renjie is recognized as a "detective".
History often makes people simple and faceless. In fact, the core of history is politics. When there is politics, it is often accompanied by conspiracy. Every part of Di Renjie's trilogy is based on conspiracy, but after the four kings of Di Renjie, it turned cloudy, and the weight of conspiracy was obviously reduced. The initiator of the conspiracy has also changed from the traditional big boss to the "ingenious pen" of inferno revenge.
"Fiona Fang, what do you think?"
"Back to the adult, there must be a conspiracy!"
This "conspiracy" is that Tsui Hark feels that relying too much on conspiracy seems to be more laborious. Instead of wasting time and energy, we should change our thinking and lifestyle. Therefore, he coincides with the director of the new version of 007-whether it is the Di Renjie series or the 007 series, it is not difficult to see that movies pay more and more attention to scenes and special effects.
Great welfare-"sheep are beautiful"! Not only China movie audiences, but also audiences all over the world have a natural love for movie scenes. Why? Exciting! In the cinema, whether it's the rooftop flying car of 007 or aerial fighting, whether it's the sacrifice of "Alien Group" or the dragon in coat in Di Renjie series, the scene is shocking enough to make people who eat popcorn dumbfounded. But in essence, it only caters to SEO's technology, and there is not much new humanistic connotation.
Although I think all of Xu Laoguai's Di Renjie movies are popcorn, as a science student, I still appreciate his scientific spirit. For example, in Empire of Heaven, Di Renjie's application of chemical knowledge is refreshing; In Four Heavenly Kings, Lao Di kept nagging that "all magic is deceptive", which to a great extent highlighted the rational light of the characters.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Wu Zetian. It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Zetian is the only real historical figure in Tsui Hark's new film. Historically, she and Di Renjie really "loved each other and killed each other", enjoying each other and suspecting each other.
One detail is vivid enough: the gain and loss of Kang Long mace highlights Wu Zetian's yearning and fear for power, and also paves the way for Wu Zetian's great turning point from her initial vigilance and vigilance against Di Renjie to her later trust and reliance.
You don't have to shake the Lord when you work high-power and ability are both external and internal, and contradictions will naturally be resolved if they are properly resolved.
As for gay feelings and jokes, I think they are all intentional embellishments of Tsui Hark's commercial films. Just like Pig Bajie in Journey to the West, this role is essential to relax the audience's nervousness and avoid excessive fatigue.
Therefore, whether Di Renjie and Wei Chi, the first men's group in the Tang Dynasty, or Shui Yue, the sorceress in Four Kings, became the hometown of Shatuo, and then fell in love with each other and made many jokes, which were actually indispensable embellishments. "A little bit of red in the green leaves doesn't need too many touching spring scenery", just for the audience to temporarily construct some relatively relaxed just visiting in the turbulent viewing atmosphere.
In a word, The Four Kings is still a serious work, although I regard it as Tsui Hark's "Di Renjie Popcorn". Lao Xu is strange and ancient. I hope he and his team will continue to trudge on the long March of China movies.
