China Entertainment 1997

Cao Xuan didn't know that he sent an electric baton and caused setbacks.

After seeing off Hu Jing and the others, he focused on "Water Margin".

On the evening of January 15th, the fifteenth and sixteenth episodes of "Water Margin" were broadcast, and the tiger-fighting hero Wujiro finally appeared.

As the biological son of the original author Shi Naian, Wu Song was nicknamed Wu Shihui. The original "Water Margin" had a total of 120 chapters, and he alone occupied ten chapters.

In CCTV's "Water Margin", there are a total of forty-three episodes, and Wu Song's role was filmed in seven episodes, ranking second only to Song Jiang among the five leading actors.

What a show!

The famous scene in "Water Margin" of "Three bowls of food is not enough, and you fight a giant insect with bare fists" also attracted countless viewers to squat in front of the TV.

Of course, how many of them want to see Wu Song fight a tiger, and how many of them want to see Pan Jinlian appear? It depends on the beholder and the wise.

Anyway, Zhang Chong was in front of the TV early in the morning, and Cao Xuan didn't feel that he was interested in the tiger at all...

In the second half of episode 15, Wu Song kills a tiger with a hammer and is surrounded by hunters heading to Yanggu. When the scene changes, a beautiful woman is making steamed buns.

Zhang Chong's eyes widened: "Is Pan Jinlian so beautiful?"

"Nonsense, Ximen Qing can't appreciate her beauty."

Cao Xuan rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then looked at the TV.

As mentioned before, the CCTV version of "Water Margin" portrays Pan Jinlian differently from the traditional slut, but explores human nature from a deeper level.

When Pan Jinlian first appeared, she got up early to make steamed buns, while Wu Da slept on the bed. After the steamed buns were ready, she asked Wu Da to get up, helped him pack his burden, and earnestly told him to close the door tightly as soon as her husband left. The image of a good wife who is virtuous and diligent.

However, after Wuhan University left, the drama arranged for Pan Jinlian to film a scene in which she takes a hot water bath.

In this scene, Wang Siyi exposed her shoulders and back. In today's mainland TV drama industry, it can barely be considered a large scale.

Zhang Chong was stunned when he saw Pan Jinlian taking a bath on TV.

It's not just him, there are probably countless LSPs across the country who want to stick their heads into the TV and drink Pan Jinlian's bath water.

Cao Xuan is one of the rare people who is relatively calm. After all, he has kissed and hugged him, but he still cares about these two bathing scenes.

In fact, arranging Pan Jinlian's bathing scene was not a play on color, but had a deeper meaning.

In the play, Pan Jinlian took several baths and was called the number one bathing fiend in "Water Margin". Every time she took a bath, her mood would change as the plot progressed.

Sometimes you feel calm and lonely, sometimes you feel the excitement of spring, sometimes you feel sorry for yourself, sometimes you feel burning with desire, or sometimes you feel like you are breaking a jar.

Every bath is actually a psychological transition for Pan Jinlian's character, paving the way for her next behavior or event.

If LSP only cares about taking a bath, it would be a failure of the editor’s hard work.

But the photographer may be happy...

………

CCTV's "Water Margin" has a limited space and the plot is very compact, but the director was extremely patient in Yanggu's episode and filmed nearly five episodes.

The brothers Wu Song and Wu Dalang reunited. Pan Jinlian was moved by the strength of Wu Song and Kong Wu, and with the scenes of Wang Po and Brother Yun, it almost lasted an entire episode.

The high official Ximen played by Cao Xuan only appeared in the second half of episode 16.

Seeing Ximen Qing raising his head and looking at Pan Jinlian infatuatedly on TV, Zhang Chong couldn't help but muttered.

"Getting interested in sex."

Cao Xuan didn't like to hear this. As for Pan Jinlian's appearance in the play, there are a few men who are not tempted, but they are just lustful and not bold.

Since everyone is in the same boat, why should we eliminate Ximen Qing?

You saw how excited I was when I took a shower just now. Compared with you, Senior Official Ximen is considered a reserved person.

Cao Xuan was indignant, but quickly reacted.

Zhang Chong was scolding Ximen Qing, who had nothing to do with him, Cao Xuan, and how could he protect him?

It's because he got too caught up in the drama.

Returning to the plot of "Water Margin", Pan Jinlian couldn't bear it anymore and seduced Wu Song, which made Wu Song furious and made her uncle and sister-in-law fall out.

Putting aside the plot of this episode, Wang Siyi's charm is definitely off the charts, especially when she confesses her love to Wu Song, her every frown and smile is full of amorous feelings, which can seduce the soul of a man.

Comparing his feelings, if Zhang Chong would have simply complied on the spot, Cao Xuan was not sure whether he could withstand it.

But Wu Song withstood it!

Many people like to ridicule that dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings, and they are not as fun as sister-in-law, but in Wu Song's heart, Wu Dalang is both a brother and a father to him, and he is a person he respects immensely.

Pan Jinlian's move undoubtedly trampled on Wu Dalang's dignity and touched Wu Song's bottom line, so Wu Erlang immediately turned against him and reprimanded him sternly.

Many later film and television adaptations of "Water Margin" depict Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian as true love. Although it is a bit speechless, it is not impossible.

But some people insist that Wu Song and Pan Jinlian are brought together, saying that feudal ethics blocked their true love. This is real nonsense and an insult to Wu Song's personality.

Shi Naian knew he couldn't even hold the coffin board...

As for the senior officials, ever since they saw Pan Jinlian that day, they immediately began to covet Pan Jinlian's body.

Wang Po, who had been through many battles for a long time, had figured out the secret, so she used this matter to whet Ximen Qing's appetite, preparing to earn some longevity money for herself.

Ximen Qing came to the door many times and asked sincerely for advice. Only then did Wang Po reveal the five unique tricks she summarized in the "Paoliang Collection" -

Pan Lu Deng Xiaoxian!

Pan is the appearance of Pan An.

To put it bluntly, he is handsome, which is also the most important prerequisite. If he is ugly, even if he has a father who is a former richest man, the other women may not be willing to look at him, and it will be off-putting.

Donkey, donkey-sized licensed goods.

If you can't satisfy others, you will still be ruined, so its importance is second only to Pan.

Deng, Deng Tong, a famous rich man in the Han Dynasty.

To translate, you have to be rich. You don’t have to spend money to pick up girls. Physical condition alone is also a drawback.

Small, small flattery.

If you have high emotional intelligence, you will be able to make other women happy, be considerate to them, and be very tender.

Leisure, free time.

As the saying goes, love grows with time. You can’t win a girl in a day. You have to be prepared to fight a protracted battle.

Cao Xuan himself compared these five items. Needless to say, "Pan and Donkey" are rich in capital; although they are not rich, they are of little value and barely qualify as "Deng"; the remaining two are "small" and "leisure" Slightly worse, but can be overcome.

Looking at it this way, it’s no wonder that I can play Ximen Qing. The external conditions in all aspects are simply tailor-made.

However, his inner aspects, both moral and ideological, are much stronger than Ximen Qing and his ancestor Cao Mengde.

I will never seduce someone else's wife, at most I will miss two cute college students...

………

At the end of the sixteenth episode of "Water Margin", Wu Song was sent on a business trip, and Ximen Qing and Wang Po began to set a trap for Pan Jinlian.

The CCTV plot was well-interpreted. The anxious Zhang Chong was scratching his head and wished he could time travel to tomorrow to watch the high-ranking officials fight against Qiao Jinlian.

He was not the only one who had the same idea as Zhang Chong. The appearance of Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing set off a new climax in the ratings of "Water Margin".

According to statistics from the next day, the highest ratings of the two episodes of "Water Margin" yesterday were close to 70%, which was the highest since "Water Margin" started airing, and exceeded the previous two days when Song Jiang killed Yan Poxi by nearly 15 percentage points.

The iron-clad data tells everyone that this is the storyline that the audience loves to see the most.
