Li Junyi's "Wang Nan" chose to narrate the story with longevity as the main body. Probably the director's own emotional role is projected in it (or maybe I think too much). The director and Changsheng seem to be the same kind of people, with lofty ideals, broad vision, and great ambitions, but they are unable to perform. The analysis and concern of the world situation and the catharsis of anti-American and anti-war sentiments in "The Expedition of the Yellow Mountain" all show that his vision is not only about movies, but the message he wants to express and convey has already surpassed that of movies. Openly expressing disgust or even opposition to Oscar and the cultural hegemony of the United States is exactly the same as Changsheng's disdain for power. And Changsheng is just an actor, and Li Junyi is just a director, and the difference between the forces they oppose is too great. From this, the tragic beauty of the pursuit of freedom is born. Of course, it's not the point of talking so much. The point is that the director gave up Kong Ji as the narrator for self-expression, but instead achieved Kong Ji's illusory perfection. The shaping of Kong Ji is more about aesthetics, extraordinary Beauty and acting skills made JUNKI's 2006.
I'm more interested in Kong Ji than Changsheng, not just because of his appearance. There are actually many people like Changsheng, and they can always be found in major forums. His heart is higher than the sky, his life is thinner than paper, he has a little talent, and he is proud of his talents. Complaining all day long, blaming this and then blaming that. Of course, Changsheng is still a little taller than those angry youths in those forums.
First, let's talk about Kong Ji's weakness. To be honest, I don't think he is weak, compared to Changsheng, Kong Ji is the one who takes the initiative to solve problems. Although Changsheng objected to Kong Ji selling himself, he did not give Kong Ji a clear way out. The situation at the time was that as long as they wanted to stay in the entertainment industry in ancient Korea, they had to accept the fact of prostitution. It's useless to run away. With Kong Ji's appearance, he will be as outstanding as an awl wherever he goes. Therefore, Kong Ji will take the initiative to go out and sell himself, and he will not leave if Changsheng gets rid of him, because he understands the inevitable connection between selling himself and survival. Just sell it! He was very proud of himself. Later, he finally decided to run away, but Changsheng begged the class leader to let them go in a low voice. He didn't fight back even after being beaten, and was finally knocked to the ground by the class leader. At this time, Kong Ji's performance was by no means a weak and bullying person. The kind of person who would fit and hug the class leader and begged bitterly, but Kong Ji didn't. He solved the class leader quickly, hatefully and accurately, and it was surprising. . The problem of escape is also solved by Kongji. Changsheng in Hanyang City caused trouble, but the performance in the hall was a mess. Calmly said the meat jokes that feed the upper and lower mouths, and it was Kong Ji who smiled easily. After entering the palace, Kong Ji used his body to please the king for the status of longevity (Forrest Gump's original words). After Changsheng was blindly imprisoned, Kong Ji lost all hope for the future and gave up all his favors, Ronghua, and cut his wrists to commit suicide. From beginning to end, Kong Ji's life trajectory is active and positive. Weakness is only superficial. He has always been clear about his situation and how to survive. It is the real setback and resolution, and the light is the same as the dust. If you don't look at his bright and simple face, just look at his deeds, it's easy to draw a conclusion: this guy is quite a powerful character! And this powerful character is the genuine Kong Ji who is lust for power in "Er".
Regarding human nature, the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. A villain like me can naturally see the filth in it. Power is the most corrupt thing. Beauty also gives people the power to control others. When your beauty is the king, I don't believe that a normal person can resist the temptation of this dual power. Especially a guy like Kong Ji who is calm and explosive. He was born low enough, suffered enough, and was manipulated and toyed with for many years. Once he gained power, he would definitely seize the power and be addicted to it. Only the blood of his lover can wake him up. But is the cost of awakening too great? In my heart, this is Kong Ji's life, the true humanity.
I would like to say a few words about freedom. Literally speaking, freedom is doing everything by yourself, doing whatever you want, not being manipulated and fooled by others. But true freedom is not so simple. Pei Duofei's poems have been widely circulated: "Life is sincere, and love is more valuable. If it is freedom, both can be thrown away." However, the process of pursuing freedom is not a process of confrontation with a certain force, and it is not necessarily a process of confrontation. Don't sacrifice your life. It is stupid to fly without growing wings, that is not the pursuit of freedom, it is suicide by jumping off a cliff. . "Fly, Dad" is not a good-looking movie, but there are two sentences in Chengxi that I like very much: "I don't listen to people's orders." ""To become stronger. "The first sentence is asking for freedom, and the second sentence is how he achieves freedom. The ancients have long said: "Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is self-improvement!" The pursuit of freedom is to make oneself stronger, a process of cultivating and tempering oneself and developing a strong soul.
Before committing suicide, Kong Ji in "Er" realized what he should really do as an actor. I am not satisfied with this. I hope he's just dying to say something like this: "Life gave me everything I wanted, but it made me realize that it doesn't make sense!" The pursuit of power does not give people true freedom, true power Power comes from within.
If he is exiled to another place as recorded in the history books, I believe that after all this, he will reach a new level. A plain and calm life, no matter how much suffering, is just "the breeze blows the hills, and the bright moon shines on the river". Only with a strong soul can you be truly free.
JUNKI's Kong Ji is so beautiful, I was so fascinated by it that I only gradually woke up today after half a year. It's a pity that I'm sober and a little bit want to go back to the ecstasy of yesterday. Just a little, sober is always good!
If JUNKI played the role of Garner in "Godfat", I believe that I will definitely be saved. A beautiful devilish boy with an angel-like smile, born with a coldness and despair, even so, there are people who love each other. The chapter about him in Sima Ryotaro's "New Selection Group" is called Sozaburo Qianfa, and the book describes him as a man with "white skin, sharp hyacinth eyes and beautiful lips". Who else would it be if it wasn't JUNKI?
