Chapter 24 Huang Yaoshi's Actor Personality

Before writing, Jin Yong has been trying to create some high-flying characters.For example, Yuan Shixiao from Li, and Mu Renqing from Li. Neither character was too successful.Their faces are relatively vague, and their personalities appear dull and dull. They are no better than those "weird heroes" and "odd heroes" portrayed by second-rate martial arts writers.Even their nicknames - "Tianchi strange man" and "Excalibur fairy ape" are particularly restrained, and readers don't have a deep impression of them. In the third book, Jin Yong cheered up, let go of his pen and ink, and brought together Yuan Shixiao's "weird" and Mu Renqing's "Qing", and kneaded them into a new character-Dongxie Huang Yaoshi.The character was a great success.Huang Yaoshi has become an impressive Wilde-like character, brilliant and deviant, with a strong tendency towards aestheticism, and he also created the gorgeous and obscene - "Bi Hai Tide Sheng Song".

Of course, this character is very attractive. There are probably many people who like Huang Yaoshi, including me.But every time I read it, I always feel that there is something wrong with him. He speaks and acts differently from other people in the book, but I can't tell where the problem is at the moment. It wasn't until one day that I learned about a disease called "actress personality disorder", that I suddenly realized why Huang Yaoshi made me feel strange: what he said and what he did were very similar to those in the drama. lines and acting.In other words, he seems to be acting unconsciously at all times.

There are four great masters here - Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, and Beibei.If you ask these four people what they are busy with all day long, the northern beggar is probably for "eating", the western poison is for "scriptures", the southern emperor is for "love", and the eastern evil is for "cool". Since his debut, Huang Yaoshi has been immersed in deep mourning and sorrow for his deceased wife.This feeling makes people admire and sympathize.But the way he handled his wife's body was very peculiar: the tomb was never sealed and people could easily enter.Next to the jade coffin of his wife Feng Heng, there are expensive jewelry and her portrait hanging. The entire tomb is like a small love-themed museum.

The Peach Blossom Island where he lives is also full of similar "museum-style" arrangements with great visual functions. From the Danzhi Pavilion, the Sword Testing Pavilion, to the Qingyin Cave, the Green Bamboo Forest, and then to the famous couplet of "Peach Blossom Shadow Falling Flying Sword", all reveal the master's subtle and contradictory psychology: on the one hand, he seems to be very resistant to intrusion by outsiders. , painstakingly planted a large array of flowers and trees to block visitors, but on the other hand, he seemed to be looking forward to the arrival of tourists deep in his heart, so that he could appreciate the extraordinary and refined master.

The owner of Peach Blossom Island reveals a kind of entanglement: he longs to live in isolation, but feels lonely because he doesn't have people's applause and admiration. The personality that Huang Yaoshi yearns for seems to be "Wei-Jin demeanor".However, in the whole book, it is Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong who don't know what Wei and Jin are who have more "Wei and Jin demeanor".The former is open-minded, and the latter is straightforward. Compared with them, Huang Yaoshi can be said to have only scratched the surface. Sometimes he is not as open-minded as Ouyang Feng - because Ouyang Feng has a single-minded goal, he only pursues martial arts to dominate, so sometimes he doesn't care about some small things.For example, both Huang Yaoshi and Ouyang Feng were pissed by Zhou Botong, "Huang Yaoshi was very angry and cursed, but Ouyang Feng just smiled."

Huang Laoxie is full of contradictions.He claimed that he opposed ethics, but in fact his disciples were not allowed to love freely and interfered in his daughter's marriage. He was far less free and easy than Ouyang Feng was in managing his nephew; Apprentice Lu Chengfeng broke his leg and was kicked out of the sect. Ten years later, he still suspiciously checked whether his apprentice had violated the "rules of the sect" and privately passed martial arts to his son. He even claimed that he would never touch women after his wife's death, but he devoted himself to researching obscene things like "Bi Hai Chao Sheng Song".What is the trouble?

Another characteristic of the performer personality is that he feels that he is standing on an invisible stage at any time, and there are many audiences below, so that he cannot stop performing for a moment. For example, Ouyang Feng killed a teacher because he taught students to be "loyal ministers and filial sons" in class.Huang Yaoshi's reaction was that "the color on his face changed", he buried the man's head, bowed three times respectfully, and "said in awe-inspiring way: 'Loyalty and filial piety is a great festival, not etiquette!'" made Ouyang Feng very angry. Very embarrassing.

This kind of thing abounds, as if every frame of his life scene is intercepted, it must be a perfect still photo. The most typical is the way Feng Heng designed for himself after his death: he built a huge flower boat, and prepared to "put his wife's body in the boat and sail the boat out to sea" "When the waves surged and the boat broke, , blowing the "Blue Sea Chaosheng Song" on the jade flute, and buried in the mighty torrents together with his wife, so chic and suave to end this life."What a dramatic and visually impactful picture this is. What's more interesting is that Jin Yong did not forget to write: Huang Yaoshi "paints this flower boat every year, and it is always new".It seems that he is worried that if he does not paint for a year, an invisible audience will come out and accuse him of being insincere.

It is difficult for us to guess what Huang Yaoshi would look like when he was completely relaxed and relaxed—Xi Du was probably practicing martial arts hard, the Southern Emperor was probably sitting in silence to repent, and the Northern Beggar was probably feasting.And what about Yaoshi Huang?Probably sitting on a rock by the sea and blowing the flute!Look, it still looks like a natural stills screenshot. Liu Guozhong said that Huang Yaoshi "lives very tired", which is roughly true.He is too smart and outstanding, so he is very afraid of mediocrity, and he wants to look different everywhere.He too much hopes that he is "chic and suave", and always leans in this direction when speaking and doing things, but in front of Hong Qigong, Zhou Botong and others, he appears very reserved, and sometimes he is neither chic nor suave.

He actually envied Hong Qigong's generosity.In the end, Hong Qigong left without saying goodbye in a very cool way—"Hong Qigong on the couch disappeared, and three greasy characters were wiped on the table:'I'll go', and I don't know whether to use chicken legs or Written by a pig's trotter." Huang Yaoshi sighed: "Seventh brother acts like a dragon that sees the head but does not see the end." Seeing Hong Qigong share a pig's trotter and play with the demeanor he yearns for, isn't it a little bit ashamed?
