Compared with Zheng Zhi's original novel "The Immortal Disease", "The Hedgehog" directed by Gu Changwei and starring Ge You and Wang Junkai has undergone a lot of deletions:
. The year-end friendship between Zhou Zheng and Wang Zhantuan
Zhou Zheng, played by Wang Junkai in the movie, When I was a child, I actually didn't like my uncle Wang Zhan very much.
The red whistle that runs throughout the story is the toy that Wang Zhantuan snatched from Xiao Zhou Zheng.
Xiao Zhouzheng's first change of opinion about Wang Zhantuan happened when Wang Zhantuan told Zhou Zheng the anecdotes in " Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea ". Zhou Zheng did not believe that the fish in the story could really fly.
So in order to prove that not only fish, but also humans can fly, Wang Zhantuan climbed onto the roof of his house, tied green onions on his arms to act as wings, and jumped off!
In an instant, Xiao Zhouzheng felt that he was on the same channel as the Wang Group, and he fell in love with his uncle from the bottom of his heart, who was regarded as a fool by others.
In the original work, the first time Zhou Zheng recognized Wang Zhantuan as his eldest uncle was when he was about to graduate from kindergarten when he was 5 years old. In his memory, Wang Zhantuan came to pick him up from school and told him many stories from "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea".
But the two became friends forever. It was when he was 11 years old, because his parents were laid off and they were very busy with re-employment, so Zhou Zheng lived at his grandma's house, and Wang Zhantuan, who lived next door, liked to come over to play when he had nothing to do.
On weekdays, Wang Zhantuan taught Zhou Zheng how to play chess, and also gave Zhou Zheng the torn-up copy of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". Gradually, the two of them became familiar with each other.
When Wang Zhantuan helped Zhou Zheng repair the TV antenna, he pointed at the antenna and said the core that runs through the original work: a person's life is to climb up along the stick, and when he climbs to the top, he will be at the top. Wang Zhantuan described himself as stuck at a critical point.
. The real reason why Wang Battle Group eats hedgehogs
Li Guangyuan, played by Zhang Benyu , is the boyfriend of Wang Haiou, Wang Battle Group’s daughter.
He and Wang Haiou are colleagues in the pharmacy. In the original work, in order to please his future father-in-law, Li Guangyuan secretly grabbed some medicine to treat his madness. As a result, after drinking it for half a year, Wang Zhantuan inexplicably developed a malignant sore at the root of his right leg. It affected Wang Zhantuan's normal walking.
As a result, Li Guangyuan had another bad idea. He told Wang Zhantuan that the skin of hedgehogs was a folk remedy for treating malignant sores.
So while the two families were having an engagement picnic in Youth Park, Wang Zhantuan thought that his daughter was getting married soon, and he didn’t want to embarrass his daughter by being lame at the wedding.
So halfway through the picnic, Wang Zhantuan secretly took Zhou Zheng out of the party and went to the pine forest in the back mountain. He caught a hedgehog with his coat and roasted it and ate it.
In the movie, the scene where daughter Wang Haiou secretly gave Wang Zhantuan the medicine Li Guangyuan took without telling her mother, causing him to become lame, was deleted.
The hated character of Li Guangyuan has been changed. In the movie, Wang Zhantuan accidentally saw Li Guangyuan reading a book on folk remedies and took it to study it himself.
Moreover, there was no advance plan to eat hedgehogs in the pine forest of the back mountain. Instead, Wang Zhantuan and Zhou Zheng accidentally discovered hedgehogs on their way to a picnic. They came up with the idea on the spur of the moment after thinking of a book in which the hedgehog's flesh can cure malignant sores.
4. Red whistle
The red whistle is an original key prop in the movie that links Zhou Zheng and Wang's group.
From when Wang Zhantuan was a child, he went to pick up Zhou Zheng from school and snatched his red whistle toy, and finally when Zhou Zheng went to the mental hospital to visit Wang Zhantuan, Wang Zhantuan returned the red whistle to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng climbed up to the observation tower and blew the whistle, unfolding the story of himself and the Wang Fighter through narrative.
In the original work, Zhou Zheng tells his fiancée the life of his uncle Wang Zhantuan in the first person.
and in the end finally recalled the scene where the Wang Group commanded the hedgehog to cross the road. In fact, it was when he was sent to see Teacher Zhao.
5. Daughter’s Wedding
In the movie, Wang Zhantuan jumped from the roof to prove to Xiao Zhou Zheng.
In the original work, this is Wang Zhantuan's relapse, which is related to the mood swings caused by the new birth of his daughter. And it was during this leap that Wang Zhantuan named his daughter Wang Haiou.
As for his daughter’s wedding, in fact, in the original work, Wang Zhantuan became increasingly ill after eating a hedgehog, which directly led to the wedding of his daughter Wang Haiou not being held as scheduled.
In the movie, although his daughter's wedding was held as scheduled, Wang Zhantuan did not want to embarrass his daughter because of his lame leg, so he and Zhou Zheng, who was locked up at home by his parents for repeating a grade, climbed up to a high observation tower. .
The scene where Wang Zhantuan watched his daughter’s wedding convoy leave from a distance was particularly touching.
6. The final outcome of Mr. Zhao, the Immortal of the Horse
Zhou Zheng’s aunt, Wang Zhantuan’s wife, resisted taking Wang Zhantuan to see a psychiatrist because she felt that if he saw him, he was really sick, and if he didn’t see him, he would not necessarily be sick!
then invited Ren Suxi to play the role of Teacher Zhao.
Teacher Zhao in the original work appeared three times in total:
forced him to question Wang Zhantuan for the first time about indirectly killing his ex-girlfriend.
’s ex-girlfriend broke off contact with Wang Zhantuan. When she came back, she found that Wang Zhantuan was already married, so she married a random man and eventually committed suicide by jumping into a well due to domestic violence.
In the movie, it was Wang Zhantuan who abandoned his ex-girlfriend, which caused the subsequent tragedy, and he also left a last note to Wang Zhantuan before his death.
Teacher Zhao claimed that this was an enemy and creditor, and performed a ritual ceremony for Wang Zhantuan. In addition to setting up a memorial tablet for the female enemy, he also erected a memorial tablet for the third master of the Bai family in Erliu Cave, Longshou Mountain.
Teacher Zhao’s second appearance occurred after the Wang Group ate the hedgehog.
Teacher Zhao was furious and scolded you for eating my father!
It turns out that the third master Bai in the memorial tablet of the third master of the Bai family in Erliu Cave, Longshou Mountain, established by Teacher Zhao, has five immortal sects: fox, yellow, white, willow and gray. The Bai family is a hedgehog!
After that, Wang Zhantuan's wife changed the memorial tablet to a cross and began to secretly give Wang Zhantuan sleeping pills.
Teacher Zhao’s third appearance is to perform rituals for Zhou Zheng.
The original work ended with Teacher Zhao this time, but in the movie, Zhou Zheng secretly gave the mobile phone to Wang Zhantuan in order to save himself.
As Zhou Zheng was being tortured, the police knocked on the door of his house, and eventually Mr. Zhao was arrested.
7. The final outcome of the King Fighter
The King Fighter in the movie finally chose to voluntarily stay in a mental hospital. From the final narration, we know that the King Fighter later escaped from the mental hospital and swam toward the Pacific Ocean!
In the original work, the ending of the King’s Battle Group is more concrete.
After his eldest son Wang Haiyang died in a car accident, Wang Zhantuan was sent to a mental hospital by his wife.
But two months later, Wang Zhantuan passed away due to a sudden myocardial infarction.
8. Zhou Zheng’s final ending
The conversation between Zhou Zheng and his mother at the end of the movie is particularly touching.
’s mother said: Fortunately, you didn’t become the king of the battle group. Zhou Zheng said: I am Wang Zhantuan!
Mom cried and asked: Can you forgive us? Zhou Zheng replied: I don’t forgive, and I can’t forgive!
In the original work, as the wooden sword struck Zhou Zheng, a mouthful of blood was released. It was Zhou Zheng who was no longer stuck in everything a few years later. There was no subsequent description of Zhou Zheng and his native family.
In the movie, I really like the completion of Zhou Zheng’s ending.
Zhou Zheng was ridiculed by his classmates at school because of his natural stuttering. At home, his parents thought he was ill and needed treatment, but Wang Zhantuan thought he was not ill.
Just like my aunt was heartbroken because of Wang Zhantuan’s madness, it was also Bai Sanye, the cross, and Amitabha. Although Zhou Zheng's parents were not as crazy as his aunt, they magnified his small problem of stuttering.
From burning the base of his tongue with pliers, holding gravel in his mouth, and drinking folk remedies to treat his stuttering, he now suspected that Zhou Zheng had a mental problem and wanted to take him to a psychiatrist.
The King’s Battle Group is the only outlet for Zhou Zheng’s growth.
Others think Zhou Zheng is an alien, but his uncle Wang Zhantuan, who is also considered crazy by others, can communicate with him on an equal footing.
As for the only way to heal the trauma caused by the original family, it is to leave that environment.
So Zhou was admitted to the Maritime College and did not go home for seven years.
By the time he opened the door again, he had been sailing at sea as a third mate for three full years, and he had also brought his pregnant wife home.
And even though seven years have passed, Zhou Zheng found that his parents' attitude towards him had not changed at all, so the conversation between him and his mother at the end of the movie appeared.
Compared with Zheng Zhi's original novel "The Immortal Disease", "The Hedgehog" directed by Gu Changwei and starring Ge You and Wang Junkai has undergone a lot of deletions:
