Chapter 34 obscene, very obscene

"Many years later, you run into your ex-boyfriend on the street, he can't see you, you are curious to see where he is going; in the end, you find out that he went to whore. At that moment, what will you do? How do you feel?" The above article is written by my idol Zhang Xiaoxian, and the title is "The Obscene Reunion".As for the feelings that can be expressed in "that moment", Xiaoxian's self-questioning and self-answering needless to say, there are only two words: wretched. Only humans can get the feeling of wretchedness, but wretchedness is not an innate nature, nor an acquired quality, but a situation that human beings sometimes fall into unfortunately. "Wretched" or "wretched" are many or miscellaneous words at first, but they are often used to describe people's appearance and behavior: "Jia Zheng looks at Jia Huan with every move... Look at Jia Huan, the character is trivial, and his behavior is sparse." For details, see "Xiaoao Jianghu" Lin Pingzhi, who was hiding in the inn in disguise in "The Three Plasters, stuck on his face, pulled down his eyebrows, and pulled up the left corner of his mouth, revealing half a set of teeth. Zhongyi took a photo, but seeing the indescribably wretched appearance of this face, I also felt extremely disgusting."

In fact, the real "indescribable wretchedness" is often not in appearance.According to the definition in Yi Shu's novels, all "wintery, turban-like, promiscuous, stubborn, and always living in the horns" can be called "wretched" together, which shows its complexity.In this matter, words are once again defeated by images.A thousand words are not as good as Zhou Xingchi's few plays, especially Wu Mengda's appearance in the plays.In fact, apart from Zhou Xingchi, the people who promoted the word "wretched" in mainland China mainly relied on the "wretched man" in the San Miguel advertisement.In domestic moving videos, I found that most of the obscene performances focus on the theme of extramarital affairs.The reason why extramarital affairs are obscene is not because of infidelity and "stealing", but the main reason is the characters' flickering in words and deeds, especially the Chinese-style extramarital affairs where one or both parties are usually unwilling to divorce, which makes the artistic expression of "obscene" unprecedented. Broad stage and space.

On this stage, the stories of Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian once guided the mainstream value orientation of Chinese mass culture for a long time. Since the 1990s, the heavy responsibility of disseminating stories of extramarital affairs and interpreting related values ​​began to fall on TV dramas and movies.The most impressive one is the 20-episode TV series "Let love be the master": In order to solve this old-fashioned triangle exercise, Xu Jinglei, Jiang Shan and Wang Zhiwen formed a three-person research group to discuss this controversial relationship. Endless and heart-pounding, soul-touching criticism and self-criticism, the scenes of talking about experience, experience, and feelings are far higher than cheating.An overly strong learning atmosphere undoubtedly greatly limits the space for "obscene" performance.

Of course, "Let Love Be the Master" is just an extreme of the subject of extramarital affairs. Apart from showing that extramarital affairs can be filmed without being lewd, the only remaining function seems to be to disprove how lewd the subject of extramarital affairs can be.I found that Director Feng Xiaogang has always had a strong interest in this matter since then, and of course he has also made remarkable achievements: the same stealing, the same jealousy, he has the ability to behave How wretched and how wretched.If "Let Love Call the Lord" is "thieves also steal", then it is by no means "indoctrination and robbery" as Cui Yongyuan accused, and its excitement is neither "stealing" nor "stealing", nor morality, even Extramarital affairs itself is just a subject that the director picks up at random - I think that Feng Xiaogang's intentions and success are due to using the subject of extramarital affairs to vividly express every kind of wretched situation that a person may fall into during the process of extramarital affairs And the degree of obscenity to which human nature can reach in the above-mentioned activities.

On Valentine's Day last year, a private detective practicing in Sichuan talked about his life as a detective on Phoenix Satellite TV, and broadcast several live clips he took with a non-professional camera in an infidelity investigation: a man and a woman having an affair Well, when the man sent the woman back to another place, he first tried to get a room in a hotel near the train station, but he was rejected because the documents were not complete.In the next scene, in the waiting room, the two went from looking at each other with tears in their hands to hugging each other and weeping, inseparable.The private investigator said he was also a little moved at the time.What I mean is that the cheater, the cameraman, and the audience all have the opportunity to quickly enter the obscene state at that moment, but it is precisely at this moment that we may not be emotionally noble and morally correct, but at least we get rid of it. Wretched - except for the female client in this case and members of her relatives and friends.Wu Yue, Li Yan and Yu Wenjuan in the story are not Feng Xiaogang's clients, but Feng Xiaogang is the director of this story.But even in this case, the situation of "discovering the current husband's affair" can be photographed as wretched as "discovering the ex-boyfriend whoring". Even if it is not a hard skill, it should be regarded as a talent.

Hooligans, vulgar and dirty, fists, pillows, buttocks, after the filming, they are more or less worth seeing, and they are not without aesthetic value. What "lewdness" can evoke is another round of technological and realistic sleaze -- the public topics it triggers and Cui Yongyuan's attack -- and it's really hard to archive between aesthetics or ugliness, entertainment and learning.Italian scholar Eco proposed a criterion for identifying pornographic movies in 1989: "If the time it takes for a character to get from point A to point B exceeds what you are willing to accept, then the movie you are watching is a pornographic movie." What I wanted to add is: If the time from the release of movie A to the painting of movie B exceeds the level that the director, actors, audience, producers or any one of them are willing to accept-not minutes, but a full day year, then "New Year's film" is also a kind of pornographic film.After watching it, I have decided to give up this idea, because it is obvious that "lewd films" are expected to become a new genre created by Chinese filmmakers.
