It's hard to leave a Bai Fenghuang in the world.

Johnny Belinda's daughter smells sweet, so where can Yan find the pond?

It is Shisanlang who steals snow at night.

Thirteen Langs in the South China Sea was released in Hong Kong on 1997, directed by Gao Zhisen, starring Xie Junhao and written by Du Guowei. This biopic is the last decent curtain call for filmmakers before the return of Hong Kong in 1997. All the sadness and glory, all the madness and suffering are given to the protagonist in the film-Nanhai Shisanlang.

Thirteen Lang of Nanhai in history, whose real name is Jiang Yuyong, was born in Nanhai County, Guangdong Province in the early period of the Anti-Japanese War in the 20th century. He is the thirteenth son of Jiang Kongyin, a famous Cantonese opera master. Born in a famous family, my grandfather was a tea merchant in his early years, and my father won an award in the late Qing Dynasty, so the village is honored as Taishigong. Although Tai Shigong is a scholar, he is also proficient in business. He took the lead in discovering the delicacy of Cantonese cuisine and started the kingdom of Cantonese cuisine, among which Taishi Snake Soup is the most household name. While studying medicine at the University of Hong Kong, Jiang Yuzhong met his beloved girl Lily, and they became lovers. Jiang Yuzhong even gave up his studies in Hong Kong for love, and came to Shanghai alone with Lily, and staged a vigorous love scene with the whole city. Unexpectedly, due to the opposition of family members, all shall be well. At the end of the story, the lover married abroad, and Jiang Yuxi returned home alone.

However, God never shuts one door but he opens another, and the trick of fate always brings a turn for the better inadvertently. After returning to his hometown, Shisanlang, who was frustrated in love, fell in love with drama. Influenced by his father, Jiang Yuxi's outstanding talent in Cantonese opera was discovered. At the age of 20, he wrote a play "Fishing in Leng Jiang" for the famous Cantonese opera actor Xue Juexian, which became an instant hit. Since then, the stage name of "Nanhai Shisanlang" was born. In the theater, Shisanlang and the famous actor Xue Laowu hit it off because of the play. Shisanlang's words are amazing. The two of them came to power when you wrote the script, which was passed down as a Cantonese opera story. Thirteen lang in cantonese opera is hard to compare with. He once dictated three plays at the same time, and his words flowed like water. The anguish of finding a bosom friend was not eliminated until the appearance of Tang Tisheng. Boya Guqin met a bosom friend, and they were seven years apart. This is to appreciate each other who is a genius and talk about guidance. "They are incomplete, so they are open to each other." Even though they were defiant, they gave everything to Tang Tiesheng.

"The friendship between our gentlemen depends on this cup of tea."

"If you learn from me, you will survive. If you learn from me, you will die. It's no use imitating me You imitate me again, I am still me. "

"Even if I can't learn your talent, I will learn your pride."

"I want to prove the article is valuable. In another 30 or 50 years, no one will remember those stocks. Gold stocks and world events are only fleeting, but a good script will still be appreciated in 50 years 100 years. Even if I die, my name and my play will not be forgotten. This is called the article valuable! "

Life is like a play, and a play is like life. The so-called fate is a human drama, with a dramatic opening and a tragic curtain call. For example, in Farewell My Concubine, Cheng Dieyi and Shisanlang always live as a drama idiot who is neither crazy nor alive. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression completely destroyed the pride of Shisanlang. During the period of sympathy for the army, Shisanlang and his fellow writers were excluded because of their different ideas. Shisanlang insists that drama should sing songs of benevolence and righteousness and write words of love and righteousness. And those third-rate dramas that wander on the edge of moral bottom line and eroticism are greatly sought after by soldiers. The exclusion of his peers and the incomprehension of the world made him unable to bear to see the sacred drama defiled. He is arrogant, does not allow genius to compromise with the secular, and holds the resentment of "the world is muddy and I am alone, and everyone is drunk and I am alone"

Life is full of ups and downs, and things are unpredictable. Thirteen lang in his later years was miserable, wandering the streets, begging for a living, and his self-esteem was destroyed. Shisanlang pretended to be crazy and wandered to Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, he met with success in the teahouse, and the famous Tang Tisheng reunited with his changed master and apprentice. A dead heart rekindled hope after meeting a bosom friend and changed its decadent and rusty talent.

"I will go to see my teacher in every possible way. This is like a sword, mud and dust, and all my ambitions and talents are over. My tears are dim in the snow by the river. If you fail Qin, you can't help it, and your bosom friend will look for it again. (There are not many talents in the world) ... "A" Rain at Night and Banana Window "made the listener cry.

On the night of the release of Tang Tiesheng's new drama "The Story of Recently Hot Hongmei", Shisanlang witnessed Zhijiao's death due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and his fate was unfair. The last straw in Shisanlang's life was shattered with the sudden death of his only confidant, and the news of his father Taishigong's death was followed by successive blows that destroyed all his hopes. He is completely crazy, maybe really crazy, maybe pretending to be crazy, but this is no longer elegant and important.

Zhang Ailing wrote in the article "Dream of Genius": "I am an eccentric girl and I have been regarded as a genius since I was a child. I have no other purpose in life except to develop my genius. However, when my childhood fantasy faded away, I found that I had nothing but the dream of genius-everything was the quirk of genius. The world forgives Vane's madness, but they won't forgive me. "

You never know, it's genius who is arrogant. Are you willing to bend your knees for three buckets of rice? Lonely individual heroism is a metaphor for Shisanlang's tragic life from the beginning of the story. Shisanlang was passionate and unrestrained all his life. He was once gifted with pride, admiring flowers and brocade, cooking oil with fierce fire, and meeting bosom friends with mountains and rivers. Actor Faye Yu once said in a dialogue with Xu Zhiyuan: "Thank God for giving me mediocrity." How ironic and sad does this sentence sound now? True genius, either like the early death of Tang Tiesheng, or like the madness of Shisanlang, or like the disappearance of Zhong Yong, is the end of genius, so mediocrity has become a luxury. Sobriety always seems to be synonymous with genius, the loneliness of Qu Yuan's "I'm the only one in the cloudy world, and everyone is drunk and I'm the only one", and the nobility of Mao Mu's banter that "I looked up and saw sixpence everywhere in the moonlight in the street" by Tang Bohu, a gifted scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and the arrogance, erudition, paranoia and intransigence of Shisanlang in Nanhai.

When a poor guest dies, it is difficult to leave a white phoenix on earth. On a cold winter night, the police received a report and recognized that the old man who was in rags and fell on the street in front of him was a generation of Cantonese opera masters-Nanhai Shisanlang. The genius at this time has a serene face, but no breath. He asked someone to find a pair of shoes, put them on the old man's naked and cold feet, and send him the last journey. Shisanlang's youth is so wild and beautiful, and his old age is so sad and lonely. "It's easy to go up the mountain, why is it difficult to go down the mountain?" There is no room for genius in the vast world. Instead of keeping his innocence, the secular world plunged him into hell again and again, leaving him with a half-life madness that he was ashamed to say. He understands that in the face of absurd fate, individuals are so small and ridiculous, and struggle and resistance are futile. Until the end of life, genius is still not understood and forgiven by the world, just like the picture "Snow Mountain Bai Fenghuang" that Shisanlang carries with him. Only children with pure hearts can appreciate its beauty and see Bai Fenghuang with white feathers as snow, while secular people with dusty hearts can only see the blank of paper, the arrival of the phoenix, its flying, his floating in the world, his purity, his fame and fortune, his head empty and his splendor.

Tang Tisheng's work "The Story of the Purple Hairpin" has such a colorful aria: "Hold the book sword and stay in Beijing. There is a yellow list of recruiting talents, but it is lost. Old Confucian scholars are full of complaints. Keke is the last person in the world, and the department director drinks, drinks and drinks on credit. When is the article valuable? It's hard to tell true from false. Once I pass the autumn exam, I will enjoy watching the lights and be willing to live up to the ten-year window. "

Touch light and shadow, project reality. From the perspective of a lonely storyteller, the film tells the embarrassing life of Shisanlang from being famous all over the world to being reduced to the streets. At the end of the film, there is a subtitle: "Dedicated to all screenwriters in Hong Kong", which is more like encouragement than comfort. "When is the article valuable?" A backchat, using the mouth of the South China Sea Shisanlang, mourns the abandoned and defiled talents, and tells the bitterness and sorrow that the screenwriter was forced to survive in the business gap in the fast food era. This is nothing more than a poor screenwriter telling the story of another poor screenwriter.

Hit floor's belief that "articles are valuable and last forever" has gradually faded in the noisy and flashy era, but sincere singing and performance still linger in my ears, and the promise of valuable articles has never been forgotten. With the dim picture, the camera finally reached out to those mediocre street vagrants, just like a stroke of genius, fake really fake. Who among all sentient beings knows if there will be the next Nanhai Shisanlang? A proud, eventually shattered, crazy world, the tragedy of genius may continue to be staged.

See when the article is valuable.
