Is The King of Chess a bad movie?

In the movie, the little chess king has the ability to predict, so these abilities are used to buy**,**exams,and even be asked to predict the future life. But in the end, the little chess king used his own strength to defeat the villain boss no longer through foreknowledge. What the movie wants to express more seems to be that the future is to be created by oneself, rather than the spirit of self-improvement told by others.

This is especially evident at the end when the little chess king leaves everyone. <>

So strictly speaking, there is a difference in the meaning covered by the two. Whether it's overlapping the two or connecting the past and the future, there is a subtle sense of incongruity. Although the director's own intention is that no matter how the times change (Ah Cheng and Zhang Shiguo's two "Chess King" have different historical backgrounds), some of the spirit is unified.

But because the two original books are not mentally consistent, the ending part of the movie is a bit tough. But in general, it is much stronger than the so-called continental version.

The Hong Kong version of "The Chess King" also has its shortcomings, compared with Ah Cheng's "The Chess King", the "Chess King" in the Zhang Shiguo part of the movie is much different in texture, and the characters (especially the villain) don't know whether it is the original work or the actors' acting skills, which looks very facial and rough. At the end of the film, the overlapping of the two chess kings is too deliberate, and it is clear that it is the end and the end. In essence, the spirit that the two chess kings want to represent is still different, and it is not appropriate to overlap.

Wang's life represents a kind of repressed rebellion. In the original book**, although Wang Shengsheng often accuses others of being dissatisfied, when he is asked why he wants to play chess (because playing chess is not necessary for life), he can't help but be a little dumbfounded. In the original text of Ah Cheng**, "But I have a faint desire in my heart, I can't say clearly, but I roughly feel that it is about something alive."

In Acheng's **, although the needs of some people are called luxuries by Wang Shengsheng, they are needs beyond the baseline, and they are slander. But in essence, all his life, he was also rebelling against the life of the time and the era by playing chess that was not necessary for life.

The two stories in the film are developed in parallel and staggered techniques, and the effect is natural and smooth, but the mainland part is rigorous and moving, while the Taiwan part is loose and exaggerated, and the style is not uniform.

The adaptation of Ah Cheng's "The Chess King", although criticized by many supporters of the original work, is still beyond the original work, such as Wang Shengsheng used the only cotton jacket as a bet in the cold winter and asked for a game with the chess champion, there is a tragic sense of tragedy that is not in the original work, and the tragic struggle against the unchangeable fate.

Character introduction: 1, Wang Shengsheng.

Actor Leung Ka-fai.

Chess addict, superb chess skills, but because of his bad background, he can only put away his love for chess and go to the mountains and countryside for labor reform. Later, with the encouragement of a friend, he participated in a chess tournament. Before the game, he was imprisoned for tearing up the big-character poster.

Fortunately, Cheng Ling's cousin was able to get out of danger, but the other party lost his ancestral chess because of this.

2, Cheng Ling. Actor Shum Jianxun.

TV host Ding Yumei's friend, who fell into a career crisis due to the declining ratings of the program, entrusted him to help. Cheng Ling found a child who was good at backgammon, Wang Shengfang, and brought him back to training. During the training, Cheng Ling found that Wang Shengfang could perceive the opponent's chess moves in advance, which reminded him of the chess addict Wang Shengsheng he met in the mainland more than 20 years ago.

The old chess king said that the chess king was willing to bow to the upper hand with one enemy and nine enemies, and he could put it down if he had inheritance, and the chess king seemed to have defeated the first eight opponents. After listening to the words of the old chess king, he exhausted his true qi and went with peace of mind, the little chess king sacrificed himself because he used a special function to save the child who was about to be stoned to death by the billboard, and finally the dialogue between the chess king and the little chess king in the underworld Others can't see it.

Two endings of the king of chess:

It is said that Ah Cheng also wrote another ending at that time, "I'm returning to Yunnan from Shaanxi, and when I first entered the Yunnan Chess Academy, I saw Wang Sheng's mouth of oil and walked out of the chess academy. 'I' said to Wang Shengsheng, how are you doing lately? Still playing chess or not?

Wang Shengsheng said, what kind of chess are you playing, you eat meat here every day, go, I'll take you to eat, eat meat. ”

There is always such a kind of character relationship hidden in Ah Cheng's works: on the one hand, there is a kind of intelligent, culturally tolerant and restrained intellectuals represented by "me", which can be regarded as the modern image of the traditional "scholar"; On one side is an alien with an ugly appearance, a dull personality and a strange demeanor, but with special abilities.

Different from the relationship we see in most literary works, in the story of Ah Cheng, whether it is "The Chess King", "The Tree King" or "The Child King", it is not the intellectuals who redeem the folk aliens, but the folk aliens who have carried out profound cultural and spiritual enlightenment to the intellectuals. Taxis represented by "me" are always anxious and confused, and even encounter a crisis in cultural character.

I "would be bored and depressed because I didn't have movies and books, I would give my ancestral chess to the secretary in order to live a more comfortable life, and even the painter who had always been relatively peaceful in his articles would sigh after meeting Wang Shengsheng, "My life is too concrete." All the above kinds of literati's "worries", Wang has classified them as "unpleasant" throughout his life, and "the only way to solve the unhappiness is to play chess".

Wang's naïve views on "playing chess" and "eating" were a medicine that Ah Cheng found from the people for the majority of intellectuals who had been hurt at that time.

In the words of the teacher, the story describes a "young man who walks slowly in the era of passing through the forest and rain", and uses the story of his inner transcendence to show people the possibility of balancing "material and culture" and "era and individual" at the same time, so that the article can deeply enlighten people's hearts.

Of course, it cannot be denied that the other ending is also very literary, and the intellectuals at that time were indeed very likely to be tired of the ideological struggle after experiencing all kinds of ups and downs, thus producing the most simple materialist tendency, but, in terms of the significance of the times, such an ending is obviously not enough, how can a king with a broken spiritual world save a broken "me" in the spiritual world?

Extraction code: e0jy The story takes place in Taiwan in the 90s, and the female host of the TV station, such as Ding Yumei (played by Yang Lin), is facing the crisis of being fired because of the poor ratings of the program "Prodigy World", so she asked her Hong Kong friend Cheng Ling (played by Cen Jianxun) to help and plan to make a chess prodigy program to save the rating. At this time, they met a child named Wang Shengfang, who had a special function in the future, which made everyone see ...... hope

The two stories with different time and space are carried out in parallel and staggered techniques, and the effect is still natural and smooth, but the mainland part is rigorous and moving, and the Taiwan part is loose and exaggerated, and the style is not uniform.

This adaptation of Zhong Ah Cheng and Zhang Shiguo's two "Chess King" was filmed in Taiwan in 90 and closed as the Hong Kong International Film Festival in 92, and the most surprising thing is that Leung Ka-fai participated in the screenwriting of this film. Wang Shengsheng once again replaced Liang Jiahui, in the original book, Wang Shengsheng ate and played blind chess with the momentum of one enemy nine to give people a deep impression, watching Mr. Liang eat on the train and that snake eating and finally one enemy nine performance is naturally breathtaking.

The Chu River and the Han Realm are dominant, dominating the Quartet. The world is like chess, unpredictable, and heroes laugh. The film uses a lot of comparison shots of the past and the present, accompanied by Luo Dayou's songs, and there is always a sour feeling in my heart when I watch it, "Every moment of life is a starting point, add color to life, cherish your every opportunity" is like this film.

Director Tsui Hark adapted Ah Cheng and Zhang Xiguo's two "The King of Chess"** into a movie. Ah Cheng's "The Chess King" takes place in part during the Cultural Revolution and represents history, while Zhang Shiguo's "The Chess King" represents the future because of the elements of special functions. The adaptation of Ah Cheng's "The Chess King", although criticized by many supporters of the original work, is still beyond the original work, such as Wang Shengsheng used the only cotton jacket as a bet in the cold winter and asked for a game with the chess champion, there is a tragic sense of tragedy that is not in the original work, and the tragic struggle against the unchangeable fate.
