reshape life

Inspired by Lu Heng's audition, Yao Suhua's definition of Su Muzhe's role is: Heaven is merciless.

If it is inferred from the secular moral model, it is difficult to define the good and evil of Su Muzhe.

As soon as he was born, he was judged by the patriarch to have excellent bones and wisdom. He is a rare martial arts genius that has been rumored in the world for a thousand years.Therefore, he has practiced martial arts with his grandfather since he was a child. He asked for retreat at the age of 16. When he passed away 20 years later, he found that the world had changed. Brother under the door.

Looking at the familiar scenery and unfamiliar people on Wudang Mountain, Su Muzhe, who had just left the customs, suddenly understood that the so-called stars change, things are different, and these life and death in the world involve the seven emotions and six desires, which are actually the result of natural selection. Causal loop.Where there is life, there must be death, and where there is sorrow, there must be joy.

However, between the joys and sorrows of life and death, there will also be some forces that will inevitably affect people's hearts, urging people to trace the truth along the veins of the world.

For Su Muzhe, this is cause and effect.Cause and effect are Tao.

So Su Muzhe went down the mountain alone to find the answer in his heart by the second senior brother, which led to the opening of the movie, which also implied the theme of the movie-asking the heart is the way.

From the extended meaning of the script, Su Muzhe's act of going down the mountain represents his entry into the world, a person who has left the world after 20 years of retreat, escapes into the world of mortals again, and steps into the rivers and lakes.

However, Su Muzhe is not a man here. The way of heaven he upholds in his heart is destined to be a bystander. His body has been in the world of mortals, but his heart is not stained with dust.The hustle and bustle of the world can't disturb his heart, his heart has been pursuing the Tao, so there is no wave in the ancient well.

Therefore, in the opening scene of the film, Su Muzhe walks through the bustling market in a Taoist robe, and the noise around him sets off the silence in Su Muzhe's heart.

So when Su Muzhe and Wen Renjing met, there would be such a conversation.

Wen Renjing knew that what Su Mu had closed was the gate of death, and now that he has passed the gate, he must have achieved great skill.Therefore, Wen Renjing congratulated Su Muzhe very happily, and lamented that the master would be very pleased if he saw this scene.

However, Su Muzhe had no intention of joy.In his view, the so-called cultivation and so-called inquiry are all about cause and effect.He retreated for 20 years as a cause, and his skill has become a fruit.The causal cycle is a matter of course. Since it can be predicted, there is no joy.

Just as people have to eat and sleep every day, they don't feel that eating on time is a joyful thing.For Su Muzhe, it is normal for him to eat and sleep when asking questions.

Then Su Muzhe proposed to compete with the second senior brother.

It was this discussion that made Su Muzhe keenly discover that although Wen Renjing's martial arts mentality resembled the Wudang school, it was already biased towards the outside world.

Su Muzhe had doubts in his heart, but held back.Because he knows that it is a crime for a decent child of a famous school to secretly practice other sect's mental methods, and with his respected temperament, he will never tell the truth.

What's more, with Su Muzhe's habit, he only believes in himself in everything. If he wants to solve the doubts in his heart, he will not listen to other people's one-sided words. He will only find the truth by himself.

To a certain extent, Su Muzhe played by Lu Heng and Wen Renjing played by Gu Runqing are the same kind of person.Just like two lotus flowers blooming from one rhizome, they originally came from the same root, and they are also looking for the Dao.It's just that in the process of asking, he took a completely opposite path.

In order to understand the doubts in his heart, Su Muzhe threw Yu Xiaobai a copy of the Wudang Heart Method compiled by him after passing the examination of his nephew's martial arts.Then he bid farewell to being respected by others, and entered the world to pursue the murderer.

This is Su Muzhe's first scene in the film, and it is also a crucial scene, which is related to the film's intention and purpose.

The second time Su Muzhe appeared in the film was when the hero Yu Xiaobai discovered the true face of his master and almost died tragically at the hands of Wen Renjing. At the critical moment, Su Muzhe rushed to rescue Yu Xiaobai.

But Su Muzhe saved Yu Xiaobai's life, but he couldn't save his heart.

Yu Xiaobai, who bears a bloody feud and wants to avenge his father, never expects that the real culprit he has been tracking down is actually the mentor who raised him and taught him martial arts.On the one hand, he is nurturing grace and on the other hand is revenge for killing his father. Yu Xiaobai is overwhelmed by the setback, and is like a useless person.He even yelled hysterically at Su Muzhe, thinking that Su Muzhe shouldn't save him, and let him die at Wen Renjing's hands, and he didn't have to bear this cruel reality.

Facing Yu Xiaobai's decadence and despair, Su Muzhe was still calm. He thought that "natural selection is a cause and effect. I saved you before everyone killed you. This is cause and effect. Qibao died at the hands of Wen Renjing, and it is also a cause and effect."

Su Muzhe's weird theory shocked Yu Xiaobai, he couldn't accept Su Muzhe's ruthless argument.Argue with it angrily.

However, Su Muzhe didn't take Yu Xiaobai's remarks seriously.He asked his heart, only seeking cause and effect.The cause and effect he saw was that the senior brother died at the hands of Wen Renjing, which was destined by God.If not, the one who died that day would have been Wen Renjing who killed people and seized treasures.

"Only the cowardly and incompetent will blame everything on God's injustice when they are powerless."

"The way of heaven is ruthless, and it is the most fair thing. It will not vary from person to person. The law of the jungle will survive. This is the way of heaven."

"The great way is silent, the great way is silent, and the way of heaven never makes sense with people."

The so-called morality is just the shackles that mortals impose on themselves in order to restrain their behavior.

Just as ordinary people can't reason with dogs, pigs and birds.God regards people as ants.

This is the "Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as humble dogs" that China advocates.

This is Wen Renjing that Lu Heng explained during the audition, but now it has been changed and moved to Su Muzhe by the screenwriter of "Flower and Sword".

In the setting of the script, Su Muzhe's words were like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, completely awakening Yu Xiaobai who was sinking in the cruel blow.

Therefore, Yu Xiaobai followed Su Muzhe to practice martial arts and vowed to avenge his father.

From the perspective of the film's structure, this should belong to the third act, and the turning point after the small climax is laid out.

And in the last scene of the movie, Wen Renjing lures everyone into his well-prepared trap in order to kill the grass and roots, intending to kill everyone and silence them.

The one who is regarded as a serious confidant by Wenren is naturally Su Muzhe who has achieved great feats.In order to be the first to kill Su Muzhe, Wen Renjing made deliberate plans, and finally took advantage of Su Muzhe's weakness of being ignorant of human affairs, poisoning Su Muzhe and crippling his internal strength.

Su Muzhe's failure stemmed from the fact that he was too firm in his belief in his own way and his own martial arts, and he didn't pay attention to any schemes, so he ignored people's hearts.

However, what Wen Renjing didn't expect was that his own failure also stemmed from this.The so-called organs count as a cocoon.It is not only cause and effect, but also people's support.

"...In short, the role of Su Muzhe represents the way of being out of this world. Yu Xiaobai and Wen Renjing represent the way of entering the world. Let's not analyze those two roles for now, just talk about you, the boss. During the filming process, you must hold on to the energy of the immortal spirit, and you must play according to your audition standards."

Fang Kaizhi babbled to Lu Heng about the various meanings represented by the role of Su Muzhe, and finally felt uneasy: "Is there anything you don't understand?"

During the entire shooting process, Lu Heng's role was only three scenes in total.It doesn't look like much, but the key point is that these three scenes are all against Gu Runqing, and they are also the highlight of the film.Fang Kaizhi wasn't too worried about the first two scenes, because according to the setting of the script, the first scene was originally Su Muzhe's home game, and Wen Renjing hadn't revealed his true colors at this moment, so he must restrain himself when acting. Come on; and the second scene is Su Muzhe rescuing Yu Xiaobai from Wen Renjing's men. This scene is mainly a fight scene, and the literary part will not overwhelm the host.

But the third scene was an explosive scene in which Wen Renjing revealed his true colors. In his previous life, Gu Runqing made this character a classic by relying on this scene. "Flower and Sword" was able to be invincible at major international film festivals, thanks to the addition of this part of the scene.

What Fang Kaizhi is worried about now is that Lu Heng's performance in the audition is very good, and whether he can still perform like this when it comes to filming.It is important to know that a rival show is not the same as a one-man show.Faced with Gu Runqing's outburst of actor status, Fang Kaizhi was worried that Lu Heng would be suppressed by Gu Runqing.If it doesn't perform so well, or if it pales in comparison, it will be over.

It will directly affect the idea and theme of the film.

Facing Fang Kaizhi's hesitation and worry, Zhao Miao, who was sitting beside him in a military overcoat, added with a smile, "I understand what Director Fang meant. It's just that your role, Lu Heng, is an awesome character throughout the whole process." , you have to hold on, don’t act like I did in "Fengshen Bang" and pretend to be awesome."

Zhao Miao's knots were all gone, and now he can talk about the failures of the year without any shyness.He even used himself as an example to make fun of Lu Heng.

When Zhao Miao said this, she turned her head to look at Fang Kaizhi, asking for proof, "Director Fang, is that what you mean?"

The corner of Fang Kaizhi's mouth twitched, and the others could not help but turn their heads and chuckle.

Lu Hengte looked helplessly at someone who was wrapped in a military coat and was frozen into a dog, and wanted to make fun of the poor, and bluntly threatened: "When we are filming later, don't borrow hot posts from me. You just Be coerced and dropped at a height of 20 meters as air-dried bacon."

"Don't!" Zhao Miao hugged Rebao and howled miserably. The hero immediately raised his hand and surrendered: "I was wrong, can't I? I take back what I just said. You are my second mentor." Ah! It was you who ignited the bright light in my life. It was you who taught me how to be ruthless. Little uncle, you can’t just sit and watch your nephew being caught in the cold air of minus twenty degrees. Frozen to death..."

When Zhao Miao said this, she shyly leaned on Lu Heng's body, and said, "The Lun family is still the leading actor in this drama, so what if they froze to death!"

Faced with Zhao Miao's gag, everyone couldn't help but smile.Gu Runqing, who played Wen Renjing, curled his lips, stared eagerly at Lu Heng, and said sincerely, "I'm looking forward to playing with your opponent."

Lu Heng raised his head, looked into Gu Runqing's eyes clearly, and said the same, "Me too."

After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled.Suddenly, a half-foot-high flame burst out from the fire pile surrounded by everyone, and the dry wood on the fire made a crackling sound.

The people sitting around looked at each other in blank dismay.Almost at the same time, I felt the sudden rise in the surrounding temperature.
