Not afraid that the villain will be bad, even if the villain has love

In film and television dramas, the simpler the villain is, the easier it is to be hated. On the contrary, it is the villain who is both bad and loving, which makes people unable to hold a trace of hatred. Some viewers may even fall in love with these loving villains. , Weeping for the death of the villain. Because there is a villain in love, whether it is because of the love of men and women, or because of family love, or because of friendship, you will always win tears of sympathy.

is too far away to mention, Zixu in the ancient costume myth drama "Fengshen Yanyi", which was adapted by Tucao chaos, is such an infatuated villain who is so bad and hard to hate.

In Luo Jin's version of "The Romance of the Gods", Deng Lun's Zixu is undoubtedly bad enough to be horrible. As long as the souls he sees, he will unscrupulously collect them into the secret gourd, and he Using these souls as the raw materials for brewing fine wine, it can be said that Zixu played by Deng Lun is a cruel and cruel role in this drama.

But it is such a villain character that makes many viewers like him. When Zixu was seriously injured, many viewers expressed their love for the role played by Deng Lun in the barrage, hoping that Shen Gongbao in the play could save Zixu. . In fact, the reason why the audience likes Zi Xu, a bad villain, is mainly because he was moved and fell in love with Daji.

For many people, the character's good and evil are not the most important concerns when chasing a drama, but the inner world and emotional direction of the character are what they are interested in, even if it is a big evil. Old generations, but as long as something happens for a reason, such as saving a wife, children, or having suffered some irreversible harm, and doing something that hurts the world, it often wins tears of sympathy from the audience in front of the TV.

It is obvious that in Luo Jin's version of "Feng Shen Yanyi", after Zi Xu fell in love with Daji, he would rather suffer serious injuries than hurt his beloved woman. The affection is so deep enough to touch some inexperienced audiences. So it makes sense for someone to like the character of Shang Zixu.

In fact, the early film and television dramas often set the villain too simple. Many villains are bad and bad. There is no motive. They are purely to destroy the world or to gain the power to dominate the world. For example, in 2009 The ultimate boss Evil Sword Fairy in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" which was broadcast in 1989, the screenwriter set a character that exists to destroy the world.

There are many villains with a single setting and not too many emotional dramas like Evil Sword Fairy, such as the Decepticons in the "Transformers" series of movies, Mother Rong in "Returning the Pearl", and "The Avengers" Ronan, the accuser in Alliance 3: Infinity War, these characters are purely bad for the sake of badness, which makes people uninterested.

However, this situation is gradually improving as the audience’s demand for character diversity is gradually improving. Now more film and television dramas have begun to focus on the characterization of the villain’s character, so that the villain is bad and the villain is bad. Motivation, no matter how bad the villain is, the audience will love it! This leads to a very interesting phenomenon. A villain who has experienced love, family or friendship will often make the audience feel sad when the ending dies, and even does not want the villain to die.

is also in the "Avengers" series of movies, another super villain under Marvel, Thanos, is such a character who can win the tears of movie fans.

is different from the comics where Thanos killed the Titans in order to win the attention of the goddess of death. In order to make Thanos’ bad motives more reasonable, the screenwriter arranged Thanos as a witness to the hometown of Titans because of resources and The role of population conflict and destruction made him believe that the way to resolve the conflict between population and resources is to eliminate the excess population. The successful case of Thanos on the planet where his daughter Kamora was born made him more firmly believe in this idea: to wipe out half of the universe's population and let the other half of the population enjoy a happier life.

, but it is just such a super villain who wiped out half of the universe’s population with his fingers, but he can’t be hated. One is because the original intention of his idea is to makeThe other half of the surviving population in the universe enjoys a happier life, and another is because of his almost infatuated fatherly love for his daughter, Kamora.

Let’s talk about Thanos’ love for Kamora. When Thanos finds the soul gem, he needs to sacrifice the love of his life, and this love is his daughter Kamora. From this plot, it is not difficult to know that under Thanos’ seemingly cruel appearance, there has always been hidden paternal love for his daughter, which is almost doting!

Not only that, Thanos’ love for Kamora is not only reflected in the search for soul gems!

In "Avengers 3: Infinite War", Kamora already knew the whereabouts of the soul gem, so Xingjue promised to kill her if she had to. When Thanos snatched Kamora from Xingjue, Xingjue tearfully shot his beloved, but Thanos turned the bullet into bubbles with reality gems, but Thanos didn't kill him before he left. Instead, Death Star said: "I like him a little bit."

Actually, Thanos is a bit like testing whether the person his daughter Camora likes is worthy of his daughter in this process, and Xingjue Being able to put aside personal feelings and take care of the overall situation to kill the beloved Kamora. This kind of character looks very similar to him in Thanos's view, and even if Xingjue does not shoot to kill Kamora, Thanos will Will stay Xingjue's life, because this is the person his daughter Kamora likes.

Thanos’ paternal love for his daughter was also reflected when he wanted to pass on the throne to Kamora, and even if the daughter said a lot of rebellious words in front of him, he still chose to tolerate it.

From Thanos’s every move to Kamora, it’s not difficult to find that this man who has the ultimate goal of practicing and destroying the general population of the universe also has a father-like love in his heart. This is also a lot of viewers like this. One of the important reasons for the role.

The reason why another audience likes Thanos is relatively simple. Also in "Avengers 3", Thanos wiped out half of the universe's population with a snap of his fingers. Look from the perspective of these victims. , He is undoubtedly a super villain, and he is so bad that he is frantic, because he easily wiped out half of the population of a universe and determined the life and death of countless creatures.

But from the perspective of survivors, the other half of the surviving people in the universe undoubtedly have more resources to enjoy life, just like the dialogue between Thanos and his daughter Kamora: when resources are exhausted , Looking for happiness in the trash can in a polluted environment? Or kill half of the population, let the new-born children get enough food and clothing, and play and be happy under the blue sky and white clouds?

is precisely because Thanos wiped out half of the universe’s population in order to make the lives of the other half of the population happier, so it is difficult for people to identify him as a villain to the extreme. After all, it is indiscriminate, random and unconscious. The disappearance of half of the population of the universe is far fairer than death due to various bizarre causes! And it is the role experience of Thanos that has made many Marvel fans gradually fall in love with this super villain.

This also led to the fact that after Thanos was beheaded in "Avengers 4: Endgame", so many people will remember the former Marvel universe overlord!

So, many times as an audience, I am not afraid of the villain being bad, but afraid that the villain will also have love. I often hate all kinds of bad behaviors of the villain in the middle of the drama, but because the bad reasons of the villain are revealed later. , Or after showing that the villains are also tender and loving, and some like these villains, it is inevitable to cry for the death of the villains in the finale, which is really uncomfortable!

But in fact, as mentioned in the previous article, more and more film and television dramas are beginning to pay more attention to the character description of the villain. The Zixu of "The Romance of the Gods" and the Thanos of "The Avengers" are not alone. An example!

in the popular palace drama "Yanxi Attack" in 2018In "Slightly", Princess Xian is a super villain with a story! In the early stage of this play, she was not a bad person, but a good person with a kind heart. She loved her Ama and her Huifa Nara family, but the palace fighting that existed all the time in the palace was ruined. After losing everything she cherished, she forced this good man into a poisonous woman. However, when Concubine Xian died at the end of the TV series, this cruel woman also moved many people!

and in Ju Jingyi's "Legend of the New White Lady", the role of Fahai began to become sensible, even if he confronted Bai Suzhen, Xiao Qing and others everywhere, but after all, he still had good intentions, but later He was bewitched by the heart demon and did bad things. The difference between this show and other versions is that Fahai is not a stubborn person in the show, so it is easier to get the favor of the audience.

In addition to the villains in the above two film and television works, there is also the stepmother of the second uncle Gu in "Do you know if you should be green, fat, red and thin". What she does is to allow her son to be able to To enjoy the glory and wealth, this is the maternal love in family love;

and the run jade in "Sweet Honey as Frost". His biological mother was killed and his wife was robbed. He embarked on the road of blackening in order to get the beloved. This is the love of family as well as the love of men and women;

and Ouyang Shaogong in "Ancient Sword Qi Tan", mistakenly thought that the beloved had died, so he wanted to change his life against the heavens and save his lover, even though it was wrong. Wrong is also distressing, this is the love in the love of men and women.

It’s not difficult to see from the movies and TV series that are loved by these villains, no matter how bad they are, the more successful the movie and TV series, the more they pay attention to the character description of the villain, but when the multiple characters of the villain are successfully shaped, his badness is not necessarily scary. But his loving side will definitely make people feel scared, because every time he likes a loving villain, he will cry for the villain's death in the finale!

It is foreseeable that in the future there will be more and more screenwriters to create one after another beloved villain to win the tears of the audience, but I don’t know if the next villain will make you cry. Who! I don't know if you are afraid of such a villain, anyway, Xiaobei is crying, but vaguely expects the appearance of those villains who can win the audience's tears!
