Nanming: I can build wonders

A maid in kimono and clogs trotted along to tell a dignified man the happy news.

This man is the father of Guo Xingye, the Fujian giant bandit Zheng Zhilong.

During that period, Zheng Zhilong had a high status in Japan. The Matsura clan, a prince of Hizen Kingdom's Hirado, had good relations with him. He donated the land to build a new residence and introduced the marriage to Tagawa Matsu, the daughter of Hirado clan's retainer Yu Huang.

Before he was six years old, Guo Xingye, or Zheng Fusong, grew up in the Hirado Domain with the golden key in his mouth.

Queen Chen Fei kept feeding Zhu Kezang from the snack bag in her arms.

"Is it Miss Chen who plays great-grandmother Tagawa? She is so beautiful!"

The proposition was delivered properly, and the alarm bell rang in Zhu Kezang's heart.

"Hmm..." He replied vaguely while chewing popcorn.

"Qinshe, tell me, who was more beautiful when she or I was young?"

puff.

"Oops, the herbal tea overflowed, Fei'er, give me a tissue quickly!"

Herbal tea with popcorn, an alternative to no cola.

Zhu Kezang sacrificed a pair of trousers and finally got over the matter.

I didn’t expect that an old couple would do this.

Continuing to watch the movie, Queen Chen Fei asked softly: "Your Majesty, does it always rain in Japan?"

Before Zhu Kezang could answer, the queen suddenly realized: "I understand, my grandfather is a tragic hero. Qinshe, you deliberately used the opening rain curtain and the messy Japanese-style buildings to set the tragic tone of the entire movie. Is it right?"

Concubine Chen comes from a family of poets and calligraphers, so she is still a little sensitive to these things.

Zhu Kezang nodded repeatedly, swallowed the popcorn stuck in his throat, and said decisively, "Yes, that's what I thought!"

When he goes out, Zhu Kezang no longer calls himself "I" and keeps a low profile.

"It turns out that the emperor laid such a foreshadowing."

Chen Yu was right next to them and heard every word they said clearly.

Very embarrassing and guilty!
The part of this movie that allows people to eat popcorn leisurely is only the opening three 10 minutes.

Under Tagawa's education, how did he gradually grow from an ignorant child to a high-spirited and ambitious young man.

As the son of the world's richest man, Mr. Guo was also very talented. He took the provincial examination at the age of 14. At the age of 17, he married the niece of Dong Yangxian, the Minister of Rites. At the age of 20, he entered the Nanjing Imperial College and became a disciple of Qian Qianyi, a great scholar from Jiangnan.

It can be said to be smooth sailing.

Mr. Guo, like every successful young man, loves the landscape, flies like an eagle, and leaves his name in the brothel.

This is normal. After all, Mr. Guo is the son of a great pirate, so it is inevitable that he will have some marine habits.

At this moment, his mother Tagawa appeared on the scene in time and advised him not to waste his time. A man should put his family and country first and be a hero upright.

Facing his mother who had brought him up since childhood, Mr. Guo still restrained himself a little. After all, he was a filial son.

Immediately afterwards, the style of the film suddenly tightened from its initial ease.

A piece of bad news from the north shattered the dream of Jiangnan Qinhuai Painting Boat.

The Jiashen sky changed, and the Qing army entered the pass.

The flash of a stone battle made everyone in the cinema feel nervous.

Because the Tatars appeared!
The whispers of discussion in the theater slowly fell silent.

The Tatars have just been driven away for more than ten years, and their power is still there.

As the plot gradually became more serious, even the gentle Concubine Chen clenched her fists.

The Qing army was so brutal that people were devastated wherever they went.After watching this part of the movie, you can see that Zhu Kezang, a first-time director, is actually average.

The overly long foreplay is used to portray the character's personality and growth, and I'm afraid the pace is too slow.

Maybe if modern people look at it, they will want to run away after a while.

But Zhu Kezang faced a group of eighteenth-century people who had never been baptized by movies.

They were just entering the eighteenth century.

A slower pace can allow them to feel the charm of the movie.

If the pace is too fast, they may not be able to understand it.
Zhu Kezang spent 10 minutes in writing to pave the way for the childhood, youth, and youth growth of Mr. Guo, which can well show his character.

This includes both his tenacity and perseverance;
It also includes his willful side in the future.

In addition, there is actually an unexpected benefit.

That is contrast.

Before the Qing army marched south, there was a sharp contrast between the prosperous and beautiful life in Jiangnan and the purgatory-like scene after the arrival of the Qing army.

Of course, Zhu Kezang also "hacked" the gentry in Jiangnan.

It's dark, but it's better to say it's a documentary, filming what they did.

For example, when the Ming Dynasty collected taxes, they got nothing.

But instead of the Qing army, these Jiangnan gentry obediently took out a huge amount of money.

It can be said that the rope on which Chongzhen hung himself was twisted out hand by hand by these Jiangnan gentry.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Qianyi, Guo's life mentor and scholar leader, touched the water in the pool and lamented that his scalp was itchy and the water was too cold.

Growing up, his father, who had been regarded as a hero by Mr. Guo, surrendered without a fight under the inducement of Hong Chengchou, causing the great situation of the Longwu court in Fujian and Jiangxi to instantly erode.

The plot became more and more disturbing. Even when Zheng Zhilong refused to listen to Guo Xingye's advice and resolutely surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, there were several sounds of angry slaps on the handrails and angry sighs in the movie.

Zhu Kezang faithfully restored what his great-grandfather had done. He killed relatives for the sake of justice and was playing with reality.

He also looked down upon Zheng Zhilong's surrender.

Seeing that China has been hit one after another, although the audience knows the final result, they can't help but worry about Mr. Guo Xingye.

To sum it up in one sentence: the military generals are busy separatist, and the civil servants are too cold.

When I saw the surnamed master of the country crying in the Confucius Temple and burning Confucian uniforms, he cheered up and organized troops in Jinxia and Xia, and swore to fight against the Qing Dynasty and protect the Chinese disciples in the name of "loyal and filial uncle to recruit the generals and sinners of the surname of the country". Some viewers couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Movies seem to have magic power, mobilizing the audience's emotions all the time.

Of course, it was mainly Guo Xingye's personal charm that mobilized him.

However, the most important plot point of the movie soon came: the death of the Tagawa family.

Historically, the Tian Chuan clan hanged himself after scolding the Qing army, and was insulted by the Qing army after his death.

Mr. Guo opened the coffin of his mother and exhumed her body. He disemboweled her with a Japanese knife, washed away the dirt with water, sutured her and then buried her in a grand ceremony.

As a sea merchant and pirate, Zheng Zhilong lived with his eldest son less often.

It was the Tagawa family who single-handedly raised Mr. Kuo, and you were his dearest friend.

How painful it must have been for Mr. Guo to wash his mother's body while holding it in his hands!
So when his father Zheng Zhilong later sent someone to persuade him to share wealth and honor, Mr. Guo surnamed him angrily and ignored him, and ordered him to return the thank you letter with a letter, thus severing the relationship between father and son.

Of course, the historical plot is very touching, but considering various reasons, it is not suitable to be put on the big screen. Director Zhu Kezang of course needs to perform artistic processing.

"Fu Song, fire, fire! Don't be a traitor like your father! Don't make me look down on you!"
