At the weekend, I watched the movie "Xibao". Because everyone said it was a bad movie, I didn’t want to waste other people’s time, and I couldn’t help but want to see how bad it really was, so I went alone.

After watching it, I felt that "Douban scored 3.4 points, which is better than 0% of romance films and better than 0% of drama films." It is well deserved.

Let’s give Guo Caijie a break first. Although she "left for half her life and returned as Gu Li", the worst one is definitely not Guo Caijie. In terms of western style, she is better than the three rich second generations of the Xu family;

In terms of beauty, she is the most eye-catching in the whole show. Even later, it was Guo Caijie's personal fashion show that kept me from falling asleep in the cinema.

In the first ten minutes of the movie, it is basically already scheduled to be a bad movie.

Xibao’s mother fell in love with the prodigal son, leading to a miserable life. On her deathbed, she still couldn’t forget the only love in her life.

The infatuated woman suffered so much, even her daughter suffered, but she never grew up throughout her life. It is certain that the original author Yi Shu sold the copyright and took the money and left. He will definitely not watch this movie, otherwise he will have a heart attack.

The creator of "Xi Bao" wanted to play a memory game, so he invited Li Yongshan, who played the 1988 version of "Xi Bao", to play the role of Guo Caijie's mother.

Yi Shu's "Xi Bao" was published in 1979. At that time, Shitai was already well-known in the literary world, but many people thought that she could only write some romances and had no great skills. She was so angry that she wrote the novel "Xibao".

Whether you like Yi Shu and "Xi Bao" or not, you have to admit that Yi Shu is one of the most successful contemporary novelists, and "Xi Bao" is one of her most important masterpieces.

Especially today with the increasing consumerism, the story of "Xibao" is not history, but reality.

In the original work, Xibao’s mother did marry a prodigal son when she was young and gave birth to Xibao.

But the former flight attendant soon saw the man’s face clearly, and suddenly realized that all her lifelong efforts were to turn around the lives of herself and her daughter.

On her own, she worked early in the morning and returned late to earn money. She dressed her daughter up beautifully since she was a child, making her look like the daughter of a wealthy family. And he tried his best to give her the best education. Finally, her daughter went to Cambridge.

Although she had to find a man as a stepping stone for tuition, she eventually became a smart, interesting, and powerful girl. This is also the reason why she can attract Xu Cunzi, a top rich man who has countless readers.

Who is she? She is Jiang Xibao, the daughter of single mother Ms. Jiang Yongli - "I know what I need, I know it so well, yes, I open my eyes, and as soon as the 'opportunity' passes by Just hold on to its pigtails."

The original work talks about the cruel life, the coldness of human nature, and the catalytic effect of money on the evil of human nature. Yi Shu cleverly created the "top prostitute" Jiang Xibao, but he also made it clear. All articles are an irony of pan-materialism.

When Xibao met a rich “sugar daddy”, the first thing he did was to take the “sugar daddy’s” check and buy a 12-carat diamond ring. He also wore it when he went back to Cambridge to study. Yishu borrowed from someone in the book and said that the ring had no aesthetic value and was as vulgar as "mahjong tiles".

Xu Cunzi created Jiang Xibao’s later taste, so that she finally threw the “mahjong tiles” into the drawer.

However, ironically, the key step in completing this part of the creation was that he gave Xibao an antique necklace that seemed low-key but was actually priceless.

It is a relic of Madame du Barry. As the most favored mistress of Louis XV, Madame Dubarry was an illegitimate daughter and came from a lower class. After entering the upper class, she did not know how to be careful about her words and deeds, and was extravagant, and was finally sent to the guillotine.

Madame Pompidou, another mistress of Louis XV, is the opposite of Madame Du Barry. Madame Pompidou, who was born into a noble family, did not focus all her attention on enjoying the material life of the upper class and pursuing love. She was the founder of the famous Rococo style and participated in the construction of the Palace of Versailles.

What people remember today is not whose mistress Madame Pompidou was, but her outstanding aesthetics and promotion of culture and art.

Shitai’s stroke was not only ruthless, but also wonderful.

As a writer of popular novels, Yi Shu's works are usually evaluated as second-rate novels.

Yi Shu’s ability to achieve a top-notch reputation from a second-rate novel relies on three views that are firm and make more sense the more people think about them - that is, women must firmly rely on themselves: love is a passer-by. , money is a woman’s true destination and reliance.

It is precisely because of this problem that the movie "Xibao" is so bad that no fans criticized it for selling the copyright. A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. He sells copyrights to get money. He doesn't steal or rob. As for what happens in the photos, Yishu doesn't care.

She has never participated in screenwriting or film and television production. Once she sells it, it belongs to others, and the money and goods are clear, so there is no worries.

As a spokesperson for professional women, Yi Shuding looks down on prostitutes. Even as a full-time housewife, she finds life thrilling; "It is impossible to rely on others in life and hope to be respected by others. ".

People who love Yishu love her unwavering and consistent values. As for these values, when I looked at them when I was 20 years old, I felt touched: Is this really true? When I look back at them after I turned 30, I thought they were so damn right.

Love will never play the leading role in Yi Shu’s novels, let alone silly and sweet love.

Delete Yi Shu’s original work’s thoughts on money, the satire on plundering women, and the hollow-core descriptions of wealthy families who are so poor that they only have money left, leaving only simple and touching stories. The rural love story is the greatest contribution of the film version of "Xibao".

It is normal to change the original novel when it is adapted into a movie.

Ang Lee made huge changes in "Lust, Caution". Some people even said that Ang Lee was possessed by Zhang Ailing and made something that she wanted to write but didn't write. Even though the changes were so drastic, they were not scolded by book fans and Zhang fans, not only because the filming was good, but more importantly because Ang Lee respects the soul and three views of the original author.

The movie version of "Xibao" threw all the soul and three views of the original work into the Pacific Ocean, and only respected the golden sentences of the original work.

The bad thing about "Xibao" is not the ppt-style editing and the disorganized background music, nor the chaotic sense of time and plastic props. The most fatal thing about this movie is that It sucks in terms of perspective. It’s hard for me to believe that this is a work by a female director. She has a deeper misunderstanding of women than men.

In the movie, not only Xibao’s mother was trapped in love all her life, but Xu Cunzi also became a single and affectionate diamond prince.

Age has never been an obstacle to love, especially for young girls and rich men.

Since the movie has changed the setting of the original work and made Xu Cunzi single again, then what is wrong with Xibao crying all day long and feeling that he has been humiliated;

Xu Cunzi Why does Xibao's daughter Jiuzi say that Xibao is a prostitute? Is Wang Nian Lian a prostitute? What kind of disease does this daughter have...

Yi Shu's original work at least has a few big dishes: the influence of the original family, the nihility of love and even the nihility of life, the hypocrisy and sin of the rich, and the corrosion of human nature by money. etc.

Unparalleled love.

The existence of supporting characters is all to promote the deepening of the relationship between the two.

In the end, in order to prove that she was doing it for love and not for money, Xibao returned all the wealth that Xu Cunzi had given her to Xu Conghui, walked out of the Xu family with justice, and decided to be truly independent. female.

A 26-year-old girl who didn’t even get a college diploma. She has lived a well-fed life for five years and has done nothing but spend money and fall in love. When you go to a restaurant to serve dishes, people think you are stupid... Isn't this the type of girl who is most confused in real life? Yi Shu had to take a detour when he saw such a girl.

Really, this is the first time I bought the copyright of a novel, and ended up making a movie to the level of anti-original work - if I hate an author, I buy her novel and then make a movie based on it. A movie to slap her in the face.

Is this a game for rich people?

Sorry, the audience doesn’t buy it.

In the original novel, Xibao was able to hold back a tear even when his mother passed away. She played tennis with Xu Congshu and killed every rich boy, because "I can't control whether Han Wu was born with a silver spoon, so it's not too difficult to learn tennis better."

After the children of the Xu family learned that Xibao had become their father's mistress, they came to the house to make trouble. She stood on the second floor and said, have you finished talking? I still have homework to do.

Xu Cunzi ignored her, so she went to the bar to find a one-night stand. "There must be many, many women in a man's life. There must be many, many men in a woman's life."

Even if Xibao is kept, he still has his own ambitions, and he can achieve it as long as he works hard. She will always be the first to do anything.

Yi Shu has understanding and compassion for women, even though she is a prostitute.

Xibao in the novel is shrewd and reliable. She knew her origins and was not qualified to be an innocent person, so she managed her life step by step for the camp.

Even Xu Cunzi was kind to her and was willing to pick the moon for her even if she asked for it, and she was sober - "Not because he loves me, but because of his vanity; Xu Cunzi A beautiful woman has everything, and Xu Cunzi is a capable man.”

In the novel, Xu Cunzi and Jiang Xibao play an evenly matched game of conquest; in the movie, Zhang Guozhu and Guo Caijie not only The relationship between the grandfather and the grandson has a life-and-death, eternal and earthy atmosphere. More importantly, Guo Caijie doesn't look like he has read a book, and Xu Cunzi doesn't know how he made so much money with such an IQ.

Some people say that this is necessary for review, but I disagree.

If you really want to make a blockbuster silly love story, just write a script based on Guo Tianwang and the internet celebrity wife, the ratings and box office will definitely be higher than now.

The values ????promoted by the film version of "Xibao" are that no matter whether women are rich or poor, no matter how calm and strong you are, working hard for your career and wealth, you will not be able to escape one word in the end: love - it is a group of women who are trapped by love. the ultimate fate.

This kind of old-fashioned and outdated three views definitely does not belong to Yi Shu, and even Qiong Yao would not write it like this. The only thing that reminds me of it is the "mother way" of driving in reverse.

It is mentioned countless times in the original book that if a good-looking girl makes up her mind to make some money from a man from the age of 18, she can succeed no matter what.

This is a universal value for many young girls, especially in this consumer era.

However, few people tell you what the price of these things is, and this is the meaning of the novel "Xibao".

In the novel, the dazzling world of materialism has finally settled down. No matter how rich Xu Cunzi is, he cannot escape death; the children of the Xu family lose their lives prematurely because they have acquired them without any effort. Enthusiasm and desire to fight; Jiang Xibao got what she wanted, but lost her mother and the diploma she cherished.

In the second half of Jiang Xibao's life, he had a lot of money, but it also added a lot of uncertainty. It is difficult for humans, thinking animals, to produce long-term pleasure solely by relying on material things. Maybe Jiang Xibao, who has money, will be trapped in a stinky and rotten soul and cannot live in peace - forgive me, Gu Li, fell into Guo Caijie's poison.

A Douban netizen who gave the movie "Xi Bao" one star said -

I read "Xi Bao" in the library in my sophomore year and later bought a copy of it. On the bookshelf. Over the years, the reason why I like this novel is that I always remind myself not to be like her.

Would a girl who disliked the novel "Xibao" for its incorrect views and the ending of "Xibao" that was too good, like the movie version, which is very upright and upright, and encourages girls to give up everything for love? I don't think so.

They will turn around and read the novel again and find that Yishu did not let Xibao get everything. The sugar she got from her "sugar daddy" may have to be repaid with light and lasting pain throughout her life.

At the end of the novel, 26-year-old Xibao has a lot of money and a pair of eyes that see too much.

After driving away the suitor who "asked too many questions and gave too little" -

"I poured wine alone and sat in the small side hall to drink. Xu Cunzi's story was over, but Jiang Xibao The story is long.

Suddenly a light flashed in my heart, and I understood the meaning of "like morning dew, there are many hardships in the past."

Who knows what kind of people and things Jiang Xibao will meet in the future?

I smiled bitterly. There are many words, using three words "bitter".

It is actually a misunderstanding to classify "Xibao" as a success story of "top-notch girls". I made money by fishing for girls, but can money buy happiness? When you have no money, you may think it is okay, but if you actually have money, it may not be possible. If you don’t believe in evil, you can learn about Sohu founder Charles Zhang and Liu’s predecessor Bao Yongqin.

The essence of love is self-love. In the novel, Jiang Xibao did eventually fall in love with Xu Cunzi, but not with his skin that was about to be buried, but with the comfort and security that he had provided with money. When these things become a girl's world, "loving him" is her only choice. If she doesn't love him, she can't explain it to herself.

The cruelty and helplessness of this kind of love is no different from convincing yourself to fall in love with a rapist.

"Disappointment, right? But don't be afraid, life is full of disappointment." After watching the movie, I can only give these words from my teacher to myself.

If after reading my article, you still want to go to the cinema to see how bad it is, congratulations, curiosity is your vitality, and it also means that you are not short of money?
