＂Hua Qiangu＂ Master and disciple sadomasochism： Who is your life and death？
From "The Witch’s Condition" to "The Condor Hero" to "Hua Qiangu", every teacher-student love is so deep-seated
According to Sohu Entertainment, the Xianxia drama "Hua Qiangu" [Watching Drama], which is being broadcast on Sohu Video, can be called this summer’s "magic drama". After going LIVE, the total broadcast volume of the whole network exceeded 10 billion, and the viewership set a record for the highest ratings of Chinese TV weekly dramas. The achievement of rising audience ratings depends on the pure love between Xianbaizi Hua and the girl Hua Qiangu about responsibility, growth and trade-offs. This sadistic love that is destined to be "love tribulation" can be said to affect the hearts of countless viewers.
Teachers and students are sadistic and wash the screen! Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign
After all, although "Hua Qiangu" sets Hua Qiangu as the life and death calamity of Bai Zi’s painting, and it is destined to love and kill each other, its core is the traditional proposition of the forbidden love between master and disciple. There is an old Chinese saying: "One day is a teacher, and you are a father for life." In the traditional concept of the East, the status of the master is supreme, so the love between teachers and students has always been regarded as a major taboo proposition in ethical reasons. This is also one of the main reasons why Bai Zi’s painting has been suppressing his feelings for Hua Qiangu in "Hua Qiangu". In the play, whether it is respect for the master or true love and invincibility, all emotions are torn from this.
In the film and television industry, teacher-student love is a theme that can’t be tired of playing, and its inclusiveness is also breathtaking. From age difference to poor life experience, from ancient costume martial arts fantasy to modern campus, from Shiluo love to sibling love, it can always create a love story that is either sadistic or funny or cute. "Hua Qiangu" is not the first to play with this theme.
In "The Heroes of the Condor", Yang Guo and his master Xiaolongnu became the idols of the teacher-student love of the whole people
Wuxia fantasy rivers and lakes, teachers and students are the most abusive
Although people have deep resentment towards the special effects production of martial arts dramas and fantasy dramas, it is undeniable that this shell is indeed very suitable for the story of teacher-student love. Needless to say, "Hua Qiangu" is dressed in the skin of fantasy cultivation, and it tells the story of the abuse of the heart of the master and the apprentice. However, before this, the "Condor Hero" adapted from the novels of Jin Yong, a martial arts master, is the best TV series about teacher-student love in people’s hearts. Whether it is Andy Lau, Chen Yulian version or Gu Tianle, Li Ruotong version, it has a very high status in the hearts of the audience.
In "The Heroes of the Divine Condor", the love story of Yang Guo and his master Xiaolongnu, who have turned thousands of times and gathered and scattered many times, not only broke through the secular etiquette at that time, but also the national righteousness. The 16-year separation of the two has moved the crowd of crazy men and women in front of the screen to tears, treating the two as national idols who stick to love. Perhaps because the teacher-student love is too eye-catching, when re-editing the new version of "The Legend of the Condor Hero", Mr. Jin Yong changed the ambiguous teacher-student relationship between Huang Yaoshi and his apprentice Mei Chaofeng, which was originally a foreshadowing, to a bright line description, and said that this was the most satisfactory change so far, which shows the infinite charm of the teacher-student love.
In the TV series "Snowflake Sword" adapted by ATV from Wolong Sheng’s martial arts novel "Jiangxue Xuanshuang", the drama of teacher-student love also gets a lot of anger, and the male and female protagonists themselves are not emotionally abusive and unhappy, and they also set off a martial arts catastrophe. In the play, Nie Xiaofeng, the daughter of the leader of the Devil Cult and the daughter of the head of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, is rescued by Luo Xuan, the mother-killing enemy and the leader of the right path, and is taken as an apprentice. They don’t want to admire each other, and they give birth to two daughters. However, in the secular etiquette, the two wear each other to pieces for love and hatred, which is an excellent model for the story of martial arts sadomasochism.
"The Witch’s Condition" completely whitewashed the habitual view that teacher-student love is taboo love
Invincible youth campus, the best hotbed for teacher-student love
When it comes to teacher-student love, there is no more appropriate place than campus, and in the film and television drama adaptation, it is obvious that this is also a point. Back then, Qiong Yao’s "Outside the Window" became an instant hit, obviously because it made a fuss about this taboo theme, earning countless topics and attention. Compared with the teacher-student love in martial arts dramas to fight against theory and education, the modern campus pays more attention to the two-way presentation of emotion, and in addition to the traditional sadistic drama, there is also a funny element.
For example, in the Korean drama "Biscuit Teacher Star Candy", the former problematic girl Luo Pudi wanted to go back to school to teach because she had a crush on his high school alma mater teacher Xianyu. As a result, she became a pair of CP with the principal’s problematic son Tai Ren. The two fought and made trouble, plus Xianyu kept stirring up the situation, and finally achieved positive results. The whole process was very happy, often making people laugh and cry, and then being moved a little bit.
In "The Witch’s Condition", the most touching school romance drama series, the teacher-student love became an opportunity for both parties to grow together. Hirose Unknown, who lost his enthusiasm for the teaching profession, and the light who was forced by his mother to learn with family love, are in their own desperate situations in life. They are attracted to each other, but they have to deal with the pressure from all walks of life and even their own running-in. In the difficult experience and environment, the two experienced on and off, which not only changed the world’s perspective, but also gained a new understanding of life and the future in this relationship. It can be said that this drama has completely washed away the habitual view that teacher-student love is a forbidden love.
"Notes on Scandal" is a classic on the theme of teacher-student love in Europe and America
European and American film and television dramas, the promised land of bold teacher-student love
In the European and American cultural traditions, teachers mostly teach at employers’ homes, so most female governesses fall in love with their male masters. "Jane Eyre", "The Sound of Music", and "Happy Manchu" are all representative works of this kind of theme. In modern society, the moral concept of teacher-student love, European and American film and television dramas have maintained the same attitude as the East, and they are all regarded as taboos, but they are much more open and bold in their expressions. For example, in the French film "Piano Teacher", the stern and cold female piano teacher, under the temptation of energetic male students, uses mental and physical abuse to get what she needs. The expression of hidden desires in the film is palpable and shocking.
Teacher-student love in European and American films also incorporates other emotions. For example, the story of the love affair in Penelope Cruz and Ben Kingsley’s "Elegy", in which the mature woman and the 60-year-old professor miss each other in the disagreement caused by the age difference, which is deeply touching. In "Notes on Scandal," which expresses the dark side of human nature, teacher-student love simply becomes an auxiliary episode, allowing the audience to see homosexuality, unrequited love, and even more shameless and sinful relationships in order to cover up the so-called "scandal", fully exposing the inner world of people who are deeply involved in emotional entanglements.
Having said that, the teacher-student love is an old terrier that makes "Hua Qiangu" so popular. In addition to the high value of the "Bone Painting" CP, it also lies in the fact that its character is torn enough and twisted enough. One is Shangxian, who is determined to "live up to the long stay in his life, live up to the six realms, live up to all living beings, and live up to anyone". As a result, he has only lost the Shaoguang of his own life; while the other is the last god in the sky, who is naive and persistent in character, and loves deeply and does not give up when he is hurt by fate. In addition, there are 17 soul-eliminating nails, 103 swords, 16 years of imprisonment and two human lives between the two, which can be said to have fully aroused the curiosity of the audience and made people unable to stop.
