王家卫体

/Wáng jiā wèi tǐ/
释义 DEFINITION

王家卫体指模仿香港导演王家卫电影美学风格的文字表达形式,主要特征包括:

  • 碎片化叙事:『2024年5月20日,我在便利店第三排货架前站了237秒』
  • 时间数字强迫症:精确到秒的时间标注
  • 意象堆砌:『凤梨罐头、雨滴、霓虹灯管和过期的登机牌』
  • 存在主义孤独:『我和我的影子,隔着0.01毫米的香港夜色』

互联网语境中特指用矫情文学包装日常琐事的创作方式,常见于情感类自媒体和朋友圈文学,80%的使用场景带有自嘲式幽默。

词源故事 ETYMOLOGY

王家卫体的网络演化始于2018年豆瓣小组的『午夜emo文学大赛』。网友发现将日常场景套用《重庆森林》经典台词『如果记忆是一个罐头,我希望它永远不过期』的句式后,普通事件立即获得戏剧张力。

2020年微博用户@过期凤梨罐头的爆火帖文标志着转折点:『5月1日03:27分,冰箱里最后一罐啤酒蒸发前,我突然明白,有些温度就像1994年的加州阳光,看得见却喝不到。』该帖获得12万转发,评论区开启全民王家卫体创作狂欢。

这种文体的核心矛盾在于用极致文艺的形式解构文艺本身。当网友用200字小作文描写『忘记带钥匙被锁门外』的糗事时,时间必须精确到秒(『我在302房门前驻足了628秒』),空间必须量化(『我和防盗门的距离是3.5公分,正好是维多利亚港到尖沙咀的黄昏时差』),最后一定要升华到存在主义层面(『原来世界上最远的距离,是钥匙环与锁孔之间的永恒博弈』)。

典型案例:
『2023年11月17日14:53分,自动贩卖机吞下我的第7枚硬币。我知道,不是每个等待都会有回应,就像不是每朵云都记得它路过的摩天轮。』—— 小红书获赞5.2万的热门帖

synonym: Wong Kar-wai-esque

DEFINITION

The term refers to a writing style mimicking the cinematic aesthetics of Wong Kar-wai, characterized by:

  • Nonlinear narration: 'On May 20, 2024, I stood before the third shelf in convenience store for exactly 237 seconds'
  • Obsessive time notation: Timestamps precise to the second
  • Poetic imagery: 'Pineapple cans, raindrops, neon lights and expired boarding passes'
  • Existential melancholy: 'My shadow and I, separated by 0.01mm of Hong Kong night'

In internet culture, it's often used to dramatize mundane life with overly sentimental prose, particularly popular among millennials for creating pseudo-deep social media posts with self-aware humor.

ETYMOLOGY

The internet phenomenon of 'Wong Kar-wai-esque writing' originated from Douban's 『Midnight Emo Literature Competition』 in 2018. Netizens realized that applying the iconic line from Chungking Express - 『If memories could be canned, would they also have expiry dates?』 - to mundane situations could instantly add cinematic depth.

The trend reached its peak in 2020 when Weibo user @ExpiredPineappleCan posted: 『03:27 AM, May 1st. As the last beer evaporated in my fridge, I suddenly understood - some warmth is like California sunshine in 1994, visible yet undrinkable.』 The post went viral with 120K reposts, sparking nationwide parody creations.

This writing style thrives on using extreme poeticism to deconstruct poetry itself. When describing being locked out, one must note: 『I lingered at Door 302 for exactly 628 seconds』, quantify spatial relationships (『3.5cm between me and the lock - precisely the twilight time difference between Victoria Harbour and Tsim Sha Tsui』), and conclude with existential musings (『The greatest distance is the eternal博弈 between keyring and keyhole』).

Typical example from Xiaohongshu (5.2K likes):
『14:53, November 17, 2023. The vending machine swallowed my 7th coin. I finally understood - not every wait gets answered, just as not every cloud remembers the ferris wheels it passed.』
