1. Xin Rui tried to live as someone else, but eventually lost his "self"
Xin Rui was sensitive and inferior because of family reasons; She was ridiculed by her classmates for her poor English pronunciation. At this time, the seeds of "hate" were planted in her heart. Xin Rui is both inferior and conceited. When Yu Zhouzhou appeared by her side and pulled her out of the haze, she was not grateful for this "beneficiary", but regarded Yu Zhouzhou as an "enemy" and wanted to replace Yu Zhouzhou. .
In Xin Rui's heart, she thought she hated Yu Zhouzhou, but in fact she was jealous of everything about Yu Zhouzhou , envied her family who loved her, envied her having a "little sun" Lin Yang by her side, and even more envied Yu Zhouzhou Good grades, good friendships. With the increase of contacts, the darkness in Xin Rui's heart is slowly growing. She is eager to live as Yu Zhouzhou and be her protagonist.
Xin Rui's continuous "blackening" process is actually a process in which the "id" constantly defeats the "superego", and finally the "ego" is swallowed up.

Freud proposed that human consciousness is divided into three parts, namely: "id, ego, superego". The so-called "identity" of is the subconscious mind, which is the most primitive thing in human nature. "ego" is the psychological component of personality , which is gradually differentiated from the id and is located in the middle layer of the personality structure. Its function is mainly to adjust the contradiction between the "id" and "superego". "Superego" is the regulator in the personality structure , governed by the principle of perfection, belongs to the moral part of the personality structure.
simply put, "I" is "what I want" , it points to the most selfish part of the human heart; "self" is "what can I want" , it is in between, Neither as selfish as the "id" nor as great as the "superego"; "superego" is "what should IWhat" , it points to the moral level and is a moral model that people use to restrain themselves.
Xin Rui's "I" is to surpass everyone and get all the material and spiritual benefits. So she keeps hating Yu Zhouzhou deliberately approached Lin Yang, and then cleverly showed Yu Zhouzhou the CD borrowed from Lin Yang, which caused a conflict between them. In the end, in order to get the only place to be recommended to Peking University, she cleverly designed the two The two competitors, Yu Zhouzhou and Ling Xiangqian, were disqualified from the competition.
Xin Rui's "superego" was kindness in disguise. When Yu Zhouzhou felt unwell, she pretended to deliver medicine to Yu Zhouzhou; When bullied, she pretends to be generous.
Xin Rui's "self" is the effort to achieve the goal. To get what she wants, the first thing Xin Rui does is to improve her grades. She worked hard, studied hard day and night, and her final grades improved by leaps and bounds. In order to integrate into Lin Yang's world and let Lin Yang see herself, she began to change her hairstyle to make herself more beautiful, and went to the library every day for Lin Yang Occupy the seat.
If Xin Rui has always developed according to the "self", what Xin Rui has done is understandable. But slowly, the "id" in Xin Rui's heart began to overcome the "superego", she began to go astray, and finally let He went further and further with Lin Yang and others, pushing himself into the abyss. In the process, Xin Rui gradually lost his "self".
Xin Rui tried to become "someone else"
Second, Xin Rui's miserable ending , is the psychological compensation for the audience
When the audience is watching a film and television work, they will "empathize" with the characters in the play, and substitute themselves into a certain role in the play, so as to breathe with the fate of the character.
"Transfer" "Emotional psychology" is a concept put forward by Swiss psychologist Jung in "The Psychology of Empathy". Jung studied with Freud, he proposed in "The Psychology of Transference" "Why do people love It's a psychological counselor" problem, and finally found the phenomenon of empathy between people.
This relationship also applies between the audience and the characters. This can not be said to be a kind of love, but a kind of empathy . The audience empathizes with the hero or heroine , creating an emotion similar to "love", griefing for the character's grief, and connecting with the character's fate. can say "empathy" "It is a kind of "advanced empathy".
Lin Yang is handsome, handsome and cheerful, like a "little sun", living a bright and hot life; Yu Zhouzhou is kind, strong, independent, and chivalrous, which is the righteousness in many people's hearts. Energy.
When the audience is watching the show, they will interact with Lin Yang and Yu Zhouzhou developed empathy, and finally developed empathy, caring about their fate and development, and thinking about issues from their standpoint.
will feel that Xin Rui is a "bad person" under this kind of psychological effect, even if she doesn't do anything harmful, she will have a negative emotion towards her. If she ends up too good, it will cause psychological discomfort to the audience, and feel that the object she hates has not been punished accordingly.
Lin Yang and Yu Zhouzhou
We in China have always liked comedy, not tragedy. The ending of a TV is often a happy reunion, no matter how abusive it is in the middle, how miserable the hero and heroine are, but the ending must be complete, otherwise, you will feel "uneasy" and feel uncomfortable. This is the exact opposite of the West. The West believes that tragedy has more tension, and they appreciate the beauty of tragedy, so many famous works end in tragedy.
At the end of "Hello, Old Times", Xin Rui, as a graduate of Peking University, ended up being accompanied by wine every day, and even was forced to have a power outage because she had not paid the electricity bill for a long time, which shows that she is not happy.
According to the actual situation, someone like Xiang Xin Rui, who is not stupid and works hard, is bound to work harder after entering Peking University and strive for a better future for himself. In addition to her good looks, she shouldn't be too bad in the workplace in the end. But the screenwriter did not follow the logic of realitydescription, but to give the audience psychological compensation.
Just imagine, if at the end, Xin Rui had a better life than Yu Zhouzhou, would the audience feel "like a stick in the throat"? This kind of feeling is as uncomfortable as the wicked get good rewards, as if the enemy has achieved success through improper means, and such a situation will inevitably have a "unfinished" suspicion.
