Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

When Tao Qingfeng returned to Shuitian Film and Television City, his arms could easily take care of his daily life.Lisa also came as scheduled the next day, and stayed in a luxury suite in the hotel, calling it a three-day inspection.But he didn't come to Tao Qingfeng often, but wandered around within the range allowed by the set.

Tao Qingfeng let her inspect everywhere, and reported the situation on his side to Director Xiong Zi'an.

When I file a lawsuit with Zhuang Yuhui and Xie Guomin, it will definitely attract the attention of the entertainment industry, and the crew of "Queen of Guining" will also be involved.Although at that time, Tao Qingfeng was probably finished, but this was related to the later publicity period.Tao Qingfeng didn't hide the facts, and told Director Xiong Zi'an what happened frankly.But it hides things that will not appear on the bright side during the lawsuit: the excuse is that Xie Guomin kidnapped and bullied people, and Zhuang Yuhui cheated child labor since he was a child.I won't mention things like climbing a bed that can't be convicted and don't have a stone hammer.

In the end, Tao Qingfeng resolutely expressed his intention to finish playing "Queen Guining".

However, other members of the crew, Tao Qingfeng did not intend to disclose the reasons in too much detail, and begged Xiong Zian to keep his mouth shut.

Because important steps such as the promotion of "Queen of Guining", materials, and video distribution are all in the hands of the director.So Tao Qingfeng had to inform him that there was a lawsuit.Let the director have an advance - if there is an uproar in the lawsuit - prepare for the rainy day.However, the rest of the actors come from different film and television companies.According to Lisa: There are likely to be competitors who will make a fuss, and the less they know, the better.

Everyone only knows that Tao Qingfeng accidentally broke his hands, and everyone still admires his professionalism for insisting on shooting.

Xiong Zian was also dumbfounded.What he had been wondering for a while finally had an answer.The contradiction between Tao Qingfeng's signing a long-term contract and being freed, the reason why he is still not seen by the company after his debut...Xiong Zian made up Tao Qingfeng's enlightenment, and imagined a change of "finally getting rid of the clutches of the devil", and his heart became more and more emotional. And promised Tao Qingfeng to sew a tight zipper on his mouth.

"The outcome of the lawsuit should be sure. I, Old Xiong, stand by you." Xiong Zian patted Tao Qingfeng's shoulder symbolically, not daring to use force.He took the script beside him, and went to see Tao Qingfeng's remaining two scenes, to see if he made any big moves with his hands.Tao Qingfeng said: "There are two scenes, one is just kneeling and not clasping fists. The other is playing "Wen Wang Cao"."

Xiong Zian thought for a while, the kneeling scene was okay, he didn't need his hands.But in the scene of playing the piano, the posture of the hands is still very important.Even if the range is not large, there are only a few seconds of shots. If Tao Qingfeng's hands are stiff and haven't recovered well, it will definitely be difficult to produce better effects in acting.

Tao Qingfeng comforted Xiong Zian: his fifth announcement will be next week, and by then, his hands should be able to move more freely.

Xiong Zian coordinated the order of the announcements within the scope of the least fuss, with the authority of the director.Tao Qingfeng was delayed for a few days as much as possible.

The next day when Su Xun returned from vacation, he was stunned by the snowflake-like news.He thought brokenly: he had only been away for three days, and he thought little brother Tao would stay at home and nothing would happen, but in three days the world turned upside down.Su Xun had a deep reflection: he had to get rid of the problem of turning off his mobile phone for sale. Although his vacation would be ruined in that way, it was better than having a heart attack after something happened.

Su Xun always felt that there was some kind of shadow in the senior management of Xinghui Entertainment Company, which had always hung over his head and made him tremble.Only now do I know what happened.Compared with those inside stories, Tao Qingfeng stayed at Yan Tan's house for the past few days and thanked him for his help a lot. Before, he would worry about whether there was an ambiguous budding problem, but Su Xun had completely ignored it.

"Brother Tao, I want to give you some news." Su Xun said, "I have been in the industry for two years. The first artist is Qin Fanghui, and he is also Zhuang Yuhui's contracted artist, but he was not brought by the bar, but a normal film and television academy. After graduation, the school recruited into Xinghui Entertainment Company, and was assigned to Zhuang Yuhui's subordinates. Qin Fanghui stayed for a year and a half, then switched to Yuci Entertainment. His contract was a short one-year contract, so he didn't pay much. Liquidated damages. On the day he left, he told me: Xiao Su, be careful, the farther you are from Zhuang Yuhui, the better. This person has dark eyes.” Su Xun paused, “Then, I will be assigned to follow you, Brother Tao. It's..."

So at that time, Su Xun served Tao Qing carefully, and didn't dare to say anything when he was angry. He only wanted to change jobs, and he also felt that Zhuang Yuhui and Tao Qing were not good people, and he had to watch more, listen more, think more and endure more.In the end, he became the only manager under Tao Qing who hadn't resigned after half a year.

Tao Qingfeng's heart moved: "You mean, this gentleman surnamed Qin probably also knows what bad things Zhuang Yuhui has done?"

Su Xun explained euphemistically—although it was more like a complaint, "Probably, he was one of the bad things Zhuang Yuhui did."

Tao Qingfeng froze for a moment, although he always felt that Su Xun meant something, but in fact he couldn't understand some kind of tacit subtext, he could only understand it as a "bad thing" to oppress people in general.

Tao Qingfeng said to Su Xun: "Then, can you still contact him now?"

Su Xun raised his phone: "Of course. Otherwise, why would I say it? Don't worry, I will be in charge of contacting Brother Qin to see if he is willing to testify against Zhuang Yuhui. One more witness should lead to a heavier sentence. "

Tao Qingfeng said sincerely: "That's true, thank you."

Tao Qingfeng's fourth announcement was filmed three days later.This is a group play with a big scene.From the perspective of the plot line, it is the scene in the middle and late stages of the film, where Xiangchang "appeals injustice before the imperial court".

The war was not over, and Emperor Tiansheng, who had just established himself as king, was in vacancy.He still misses his little wife who was married to the Loess Longbian when he was young.They were separated during the war.But why, more than ten years later, when I saw Xiangchang again, she had remarried to her wife, and as the widow of the Xuanfu envoy of Lord Dongshui, she sued before the imperial court, showing the scars on her body—the Xuanfu envoy died young, Xiangchang, as the wife of the Xuanfu, temporarily takes over the position of her husband and takes care of the people.She refused the bribes from the border guards, but was flogged by the patrol officers angrily.

Xiangchang obviously had fists and kicks on his body, but he resisted it, leaving the scars on his body to prove it.Traveling thousands of miles to Beijing, he unfolded a series of incidents in front of the emperor, exposing the crimes of oppressing the common people by the patrol officers.Shocked the ruling and opposition parties.It also shocked the iron-blooded emperor who "started from the fields" and flicked his tears.

Hurt for the people, hurt for love, after listening to her complaint, Emperor Tiansheng saw the welts all over her body, and was forced to spurt out a mouthful of blood.The civil and military uproar in the Manchu Dynasty was accompanied by a lot of discussion, righteous indignation, and border guard plots...

The Prince Guangji played by Tao Qingfeng was one of the courtiers who took the lead in kneeling down in this "civil and military uproar in the Manchu Dynasty", asking for severe punishment of the patrol officers and protecting the border people of the Xuanfu.

In terms of geographical location, Xuanfu is also the location of Province A today, and Xiangchang is equivalent to the parent official back then. When the provincial government was preparing to film "Queen of Guining", it made a plot of "the emperor's appeal for injustice" which is well-documented in history. Top priority requirements.

Xiangchang endured a moment of anger, and with scars all over his body, he traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to appeal for grievances, just to protect the people of one side.This spirit of righteous sacrifice and the shining points of noble personality are also the reasons why Queen Guining became a national heroine. The spontaneous love and admiration for her from the people in province A has also been passed down from ancient times to the present.

Therefore, regarding the style and positioning of the film, we must not relax in this scene.

In addition, this is the reunion scene of Tiansheng and Xiangchang, the suspense of Xiangchang's remarriage, and the reaction of Emperor Tiansheng suppressing his anger and showing his imperial demeanor are all very attractive.It can be said that it is the first big climax of the film.The reunion mentality of Emperor Tiansheng and Empress Xiangchang was also included in the list of "Top Ten Sour Shura Fields in History" by history fans.

This section of "Romance" has added a lot of drama arias and poems such as Mu Rusu. From the perspective of literature, it is also very exciting.

Meng Xiaodan extracted the essence from the dross. Although the historical plot of "Romance" was deleted, but the narrative of the romance and the official history are the same (probably because the history is too shy, and "The Romance" can't make up more bloody jokes) , Romance created a very appropriate Fu, so it also reasonably added dialogue to increase the rendering power of the film.

In this scene, Tao Qingfeng mainly performed the "kneeling posture".

The action description of the script is just one sentence: Prince Guangji kneels first, and all the officials follow suit.

It has to be said that when Meng Xiaodan wrote the script, he was well versed in the essence of screenwriting "to find things for the actors to do as much as possible"-the script cannot be written for every action and every look, and the convention of leaving blank space here is for the actors. Actors and directors have room to play. If every action has to be written by a screenwriter, the screenwriter should also serve as the director.

The main task of the script is to sort out the context of the plot, connect the direction of the story, and provide dialogue for the characters.

So Tao Qingfeng needed to think about how he was "kneeling well enough for the occasion", and he had to read a long paragraph of impassioned dialogue, which required a lot of actor's line skills.

There are very few action descriptions in the script, but the lines refer to a large section of the opera.

According to historical records, Meng Xiaodan changed the lines of Prince Guangji into rhythmic vernacular in accordance with modern speaking habits.Even so, the whole is still very written, with a little taste of classical Chinese.

——"The minister heard that the Dongshui Xiang family took the post of husband, the frontier of Xuanfu, and the people were in harmony. Listen, I hope that Brother Huang will shine a faint light, so that in the world, there will be no more regrets about Jingshan and Miluo."

Just by reading this passage, most people will get tongue-tied.It must also be performed according to the requirements of the "movie".

Director Xiong Zi'an approached Meng Xiaodan to protest—she, a well-known historical screenwriter who has been in the industry for four or five years, how could she commit such a novice problem of dropping her book bag? Norm—but was stunned by Meng Xiaodan's mournful expression.

"Old Xiong, for more than ten years, this section has been a compulsory item in Chinese textbooks for junior high schools. When you catch people on the road, most of them can't recite the phrase 'the regret of Jingshan, the hatred of Miluo'? If you don't follow the original text Write, not to mention that the provincial department and the advisory group are not happy, passers-by will be disappointed too. It’s the same reason as not saying “Heavenly King Gaidihu, Pagoda Town River Demon” when filming “Fighting Tigers and Uphill Mountains.”

After thinking about it, Xiong Zian did have this level of concern, but he raised new questions and requirements:

"Then you have to write two more sentences for your actions, one word kneeling, and you have to read so many lines?"

Meng Xiaodan put on an innocent face even more confidently: "When the courtier plays the report, besides kneeling, can he still move around, sit down, stand up and sit up? You are the director, and this is a performance designed by you and the actors."

Xiong Zian really couldn't find a reason to criticize Meng Xiaodan, so he could only think carefully about how to direct this scene with an increasingly worried expression.

He was entangled in "movies, an art of expression, has its own rules, and should not be compromised in primary and secondary school textbooks" and "maybe my old bear can turn decay into magic and make this scene into a classic scene". In a confident state of mind.And after the announcement of the day, when we were having dinner at the crew hotel, I found Tao Qingfeng and reminded him to read more tonight the long and difficult lines that he had to deal with tomorrow.

Xiong Zian also made a special arrangement: "Adjust the order tomorrow, and you will be the last to shoot."

Although Zhong Yujiao and Zhang Fenghao's scenes were also very difficult to shoot, they are both experienced veterans, and they probably have already faced this scene of Shura several times in private.

Tao Qingfeng only had one line, but Xiong Zi'an was worried about young people like them. He was afraid that Tao Qingfeng would make mistakes like forgetting words and getting stuck when he was filming tomorrow. After all, this line was too long and too classical.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Xiong Zian's advice, Tao Qingfeng showed a gentle and determined smile: "Director Xiong, don't worry, I memorized that line."

Not only memorized it, but Tao Qingfeng also felt very cordial. Although the lines and actions in the script were not exactly the same as the ancient court in his memory-he also understood that this is what modern people call "Processing effect" - but does not hinder him, feels familiar and relaxed.

After all, this original text was excerpted from the daily life notes and compiled in "Tiansheng Ben Ji Gao". Tao Qingfeng edited and revised the materials of this set of notes many times, and also referred to the citations of his colleagues in the Hongwen Bureau. I don't know how many details have been added, deleted, and changed.

There was no punctuation in ancient times, and he could still memorize it word for word.Now this paragraph, Meng Xiaodan has processed it into a more fluent vernacular, and there are so many broken sentences, to Tao Qingfeng's ears, he only feels familiar and novel.

Seeing his relaxed appearance, Xiong Zian always felt that Tao Qingfeng was too relaxed and arrogant, so he shook his head secretly: The young man is really restless, his acting ability is only slightly improved, where does he come from so confident.But he didn't say much, and told Tao Qingfeng to go to rest early - he didn't notice that Tao Qingfeng's biological clock had arrived, and he had already yawned several times.His yawning appearance happened to be seen by Zhong Yujiao who was next to him after eating, and the shadow queen looked thoughtful.

Tao Qingfeng woke up at [-]:[-] the next day, and the daily announcement shooting work started from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] pm (although he had to work overtime almost every day, and the off-duty time was useless), and he ate for an hour in between.Shazhou and Liu Qihui often appeared on the morning set with faces that didn't get enough sleep.Their managers once scolded at the same time: "Zhouzhou/Qiqi, don't play games at night."

Tao Qingfeng would take a walk around the green belt of the hotel every morning. His hands were inconvenient for the past two days, but it didn't affect his habit.He met Zhong Yujiao running in the morning again. This time, the actress changed the direction of running and ran backwards for a while, and the speed could be slowed down. It seemed that she wanted to chat with Tao Qingfeng.

"I think we can form an early-rising alliance." Zhong Yujiao said to Tao Qingfeng while running backwards.She was wearing a tracksuit and a ponytail. She had seen Tao Qingfeng walking in the green belt at six o'clock in the morning for several consecutive days. She was not sure once or twice, thinking it was just a whim of young people.But when she saw Tao Qingfeng yawning around nine o'clock last night, she was sure that it was a biological clock that is not common in Xiao Xianrou, which surprised her very much.

Tao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Early rise alliance? What do you do?"

The word alliance can be understood directly, and the analogy between countries is alliances, but generally they must have a common goal.

Zhong Yujiao wrung his fingers: "Exercise, have a show, eat a nutritious breakfast, oh, you can also buy a small speaker, and call morning to those slackers' windows at 07:30."

Tao Qingfeng suppressed a smile. The queen sister's hobbies are very peculiar. He said euphemistically, "The first few items are fine, but I won't participate in the last one."

"Just kidding, I'm not a waiter, how could I really call them early." Zhong Yujiao looked at Tao Qingfeng thoughtfully, "But, to be honest, Tao Qing, you—"

"Mr. Zhong, I changed my name a few days ago. Tao Qingfeng. Please also call Teacher Zhong with my current name."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Zhong Yujiao's face. She didn't take care of Weibo all year round. Reposting promotional videos was completely left to her manager or assistant. She only posted photos of the meeting on Weibo after meeting fans at birthday parties every year. Thank you on the blog, full of veteran cadre style.So she was late to Tao Qingfeng's name change, and she didn't interact immediately like Zhang Fenghao and Shazhou with a keen sense of smell.But she immediately followed suit and said, "Okay, I remember the new name you changed. In fact, I think the name you changed looks like an ancient person."

Tao Qingfeng thought to himself: Mr. Zhong is telling the truth to some extent.He diverted this dangerous topic, and changed the topic: "How long does Mr. Zhong exercise every day?"

Zhong Yujiao said: "Run for an hour in the morning. Do some stretching or walking after dinner. Hey, it can't compare to when I was in my 20s. I saw Shazhou and Liu Qi going back to them. I was very envious. They played on their mobile phones every night, and they were still full during the day. Face collagen." She looked Tao Qingfeng up and down: "Little Tao, your style of painting really doesn't look like a young man, and you never take out your mobile phone to check Moments on set."

Tao Qingfeng thought to himself, he actually took out his mobile phone to read many times, but it was only to send text messages with Yan Dan.I don't have time to type that much at work.They usually focus on getting up in the morning, after lunch, and before going to bed at night, and send Yan Tan academic thoughts. The usual news is just a quick glance and write it down and put it back in your pocket.As for the circle of friends - Tao Qingfeng didn't want to mix with Tao Qing's circle of friends.

When Tao Qingfeng was learning "using WeChat", a skill that is said to be very important in modern times, he went to Tao Qing's so-called circle of friends, and there was a message on it.As a result, I clicked in and saw that it was similar to the news of "booing Tao Qing has become rich, celebrities spend money like water, brother Tao shouldn't be stingy, please play with the brothers...", probably Tao Qing's old acquaintance , Tao Qingfeng ignored it at all, pretended not to see it, and never clicked on the so-called circle of friends in WeChat.

Tao Qingfeng shook his head and said, "There's nothing to do in Moments."

Zhong Yujiao was curious: "Then what do you do in your spare time?"

The "reading" that Tao Qingfeng was going to say was abruptly held back, and he thought annoyedly, to play the role of a modern young man, he probably had to pretend to be interested in platforms such as sensuality, video, and Moments Weibo, but That was not his original intention, and Tao Qingfeng consciously couldn't act it out.

Tao Qingfeng thought for a while, if he said he was reading a book, Zhong Yujiao would definitely ask him what book he was reading. He said that those "Records of Major Events in 36 Years in Chong'an", "Selected Poems of Quan Chu" and so on, were they the His already unsatisfactory style of painting was exposed even more abruptly?Thinking of the nature of the crew, he made a compromise and chose a statement that he didn't think was too much and that met the normal requirements of actors:

"I see, the script."

The corners of Zhong Yujiao's mouth twitched slightly, she could understand such clichés when there were many people, but when Xiao Tao was still pretending to be in private chats, Zhong Yujiao felt uncomfortable listening to it, secretly thinking: It's not as good as Shazhou Liu Qi returned to his true nature, at least he was honest and frank about playing games.

Deep down in Zhong Yujiao's heart, he had always had an inherent prejudice against Xiao Xianrou, so he spoke a little bit, deliberately piercing the mask's stinging intentions: "It's so powerful. After watching so much time, I should be familiar with the script. Really. You are eager to learn, how much have you memorized?"

Tao Qingfeng didn't hear the sarcasm of modern people in this context, and just thought that Zhong Yujiao was really praising him for his eagerness to learn, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, so he reserved: "I don't dare. I just memorized it all. Haven't figured it out."

After memorizing the whole thing, Tao Qingfeng refers not only to the plot of Prince Guangji, but also the lines of all the characters in the stack of 4-word A[-] paper.Because most of them were used from historical materials, Tao Qingfeng read it once, and hardly needed to memorize it, those things were already in his mind.

In addition, in order to read through the scriptures in the past, he practiced the ability to read and memorize quickly. Although he could not remember the content of the script, after three or four times, the vernacular language was very simple and fluent, and he could almost recite it. It is almost inseparable, and where it is the same as the historical data, it is impossible to recite a single word.At most, there will be discrepancies in Meng Xiaodanjia's usage habits of modern people, or in the actions added for the richness of the movie.

Zhong Yujiao was even more inconceivably angry and funny, "Memorize it all? You mean your character's lines, right?"

Prince Guangji didn't have many lines, so it wasn't too difficult to memorize them all.But Zhong Yujiao always felt that Tao Qingfeng's subtext was saying: he memorized the lines of all the characters in the script.How is this possible?

Tao Qingfeng also honestly admitted: "No, what I'm talking about is memorizing all the scripts."

He thinks this is a very common thing in modern times, and all these actors can do it.After all, if you don't memorize other people's lines, how can you know what other people's roles are like, and how can you understand their feelings when there is an opponent?Besides, that stack of A4 papers is much thinner than the past scrolls.

Zhong Yujiao even forgot to run backwards, turned around and walked side by side with Tao Qingfeng, staring at Tao Qingfeng's side face with wide eyes on a plain face without makeup, he couldn't believe it: "You mean, like me Can you also recite the lines?"

Although Tao Qingfeng and Zhong Yujiao only had a rivalry scene when they first met their sister-in-law before the rebels, but this movie was called "Queen of Guining", Tao Qingfeng felt at first that Zhong Yujiao's lines should be memorized the most.

So he continued to nod honestly: "Yes."

While Zhong Yujiao's heart was shocked, he also felt more serious, and a voice from the bottom of his heart said: Don't let Tao Qingfeng go just because he is a fresh meat.She simply stopped, with a warm smile on her face, doubts in her heart, but also incredible expectations, and said in an undeniable tone, "Then why don't you recite it to me now?"
