Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

In the past few days, Tao Qingfeng discovered an arrangement that I don't know whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement: the announcements made for him in the past few days were either solo, with group actors, or with leading actresses.It wasn't until almost a week later that Tao Qingfeng had his first rivalry with the male number one.

"Return to the East" and "Can't Return to the East" in "East Return to the West", and "West Crossing" and "Can't Cross to the West" correspond to "male first", "male second", "male third" and "female first".

The playbook is set up like this:

For the male Yun Xianglei: He finally returned to the east. In this life, he walked through the thorns, captured the flag and changed the flag, consolidated the country's military defense, held the sword to defend the soil, and the rooster sings in the wild forest at night in the northeast. This is his life. home.It is called "return to the east".

For the male second Fang Ming, he died in the end and failed to return east.In this life, he left home as a young man, joined the army as a young man, faced the ups and downs of the country and the Communist Party, and was determined to save the country and carry out the Tao in his heart.But for the rest of my life, except in my dreams, I never returned to my hometown in the east.

For Yu Song, the third male, it was finally time to cross to the west. In his life, he traveled alone, seeking knowledge overseas, starting a business, and extraditing foreign capital. The red brick palace in Moscow and the birch forest in Siberia are his journeys in this life.It is called "Xidu".

For the female lead, Sang Xiaohui, as a high-ranking member of the Kuomintang, she left the mainland on the eve of the founding of New China, and never came back or traveled westward.In this life, she has been fighting and fighting, life and death, and painstaking efforts, wanting to protect the nation, but looking to the west, there is a strait and a natural moat that cannot be swam.

Fang Ming and Sang Xiaohui respectively represent two "past" powers, while Yun Xianglei and Yu Song carry the "future" power.The scene where Yun Xianglei and Yu Song meet for the first time is set to emphasize this "young power":

Yu Song dismissed Yun Xianglei's reputation when he heard about it, and regarded him as a young master who needed to be taken care of.Yu Song led the downcast Yun Xianglei to the hidden place where he copied the trail when he was a reporter for a journal, to avoid the capture of the reactionary armed forces.Just as Yu Song was about to exaggerate his toughness, Yun Xianglei rescued him from the cold guns of foreign soldiers in the concession in the next second.It was only then that Yu Song realized with horror that this seemingly silent Yun Xianglei was not the rumored "wine bag and rice bag" or "vase coward" but a daring thorn.

This scene was stopped by director Ni Ting before and after Xia Xinghen performed the action of "grabbing the reactionary's military assassin with his backhand".

Also stopped several times.

Reasons such as "crooked posture", "wrong position of military thorns", "too ostentatious eyes", "horrible expression" and so on.

Tao Qingfeng was puzzled. In his opinion, Xia Xinghen's expression of the changes in Yun Xianglei's eyes before and after the explosion was quite lifelike. He was holding back but not saying anything, but he was always dismissed by Yu Song as if there was nothing. "Intentional care" made the blue veins burst but they couldn't break out.When he finally took the leased soldier's bayonet, the catharsis combined with Yun Xianglei's ruthless character fit the script: not only frightened the foreign soldiers in the concession, but also stunned Yu Song.

Tao Qingfeng felt that Xia Xinghen had really done a good job from the point of view of "freedom of retraction".At least he saw a vivid Yun Xianglei with very obvious personality traits.However, director Ni Ting seemed dissatisfied with the "release" part. Various adjustments made Xia Xinghen's performance more "depressed".

After repeating this five or six times, Tao Qingfeng, as a rookie junior, was actually accompanying Xia Xinghen, the actor NG who had won many awards.Tao Qingfeng couldn't help thinking: If he were to be the director, he would definitely not bother Xia Xinghen like this.Because Tao Qingfeng himself understands Yun Xianglei in the script, there is no "repression", he is just so unrestrained and unafraid of the consequences of his actions.Director Ni Ting asked Xia Xinghen to "suppress", and Xia Xinghen felt that something was wrong and seemed even more irritable, not only because of the irritableness in the script, but also because he couldn't act the irritable style required by the director.

And Ni Ting also said, "Look at the cool breeze".Tao Qingfeng felt very helpless for this act of bringing hatred to Tao Qingfeng.A guess arose in his mind: in Ni Ting's heart, the standard that Yun Xianglei should "suppress" is the old script from the past?Is the director so obsessed with the old script?Judging from the conversation between Xia Xinghen and Zhu Huaguo, Xia Xinghen had obviously read the old script, but he was unwilling to act according to it.Tao Qingfeng thought: I wouldn't be willing to change myself, the new script is so well written.

But right now the director and the male protagonist are secretly arguing, he should not get involved and suffer disaster.He didn't know the secrets in it.Tao Qingfeng just kept his eyes on his nose and his heart, and accompanied him over and over again.

"Come again", "Come again", "Come again", Director Ni Ting didn't even say how to change it, but kept asking Xia Xinghen to come again.Xia Xinghen also argued with him, but he didn't change it. He would rather do it again and again, and follow the script to ruthless Yun Xianglei.Every time Ni Ting called to come back, he always said "Qingfeng is hard work", "Qingfeng is not easy" and "Qingfeng is troubled".At the beginning, Tao Qingfeng consciously and politely said that it was nothing. Later, when he learned of Ni Ting's intention to stimulate Xia Xinghen, Tao Qingfeng stood further away and refused to answer the director's words.

NG a full twenty times.This tug-of-war has finally come to an end.Ni Ting finally didn't shout "do it again", but he didn't show the frustration of failing in this tug-of-war. Instead, he finished work normally, and there was still color in his eyes.Xia Xinghen was sitting under the corner of the set, he still didn't seem to have come out of the character in the play, and closed his eyes deeply.

Tao Qingfeng felt that something was wrong, he would not meddle in other people's business, but now most of the staff had packed up their things and left, and there was a relaxed din outside.Tao Qingfeng noticed with sharp eyes that Xia Xinghen's hand was cramping.He was startled suddenly, the other party's eyes were closed, did he not play yet, or passed out from exhaustion?Tao Qingfeng walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "You..."

Xia Xinghen opened his eyes suddenly, his pupils were vertical like a beast, and his eyes were full of cruelty.He twisted Tao Qingfeng's wrist and grabbed it hard.Tao Qingfeng's eyes darkened and he almost cried out in pain.But he miraculously held back the cry.

Xia Xinghen twisted Tao Qingfeng's wrist forcefully, his voice was low but chilling: "——Why didn't you call? They're outside, you call them and they'll come to save you——" Xia Xinghen held his hand Increased strength, "I have endured for a long time."

Tao Qingfeng took a deep breath, with beads of sweat on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, "You know that others are provoking and provoking you, but you got caught as he wished?"

Xia Xinghen was taken aback, twisted harder, and growled in a low voice: "Yes. I told you to stay away from me. I can't get out—"

Tao Qingfeng felt awe-inspiring: Can't come out?Does it mean "you can't get out after entering the drama"?

Tao Qingfeng took a deep breath to relieve the pain in his wrist, thought of those reports in a blink of an eye, and suddenly understood many things.

Xia Xinghen's realistic "talent" in acting is like a double-edged sword. He benefits from it, but he can't come out in the role.Tao Qingfeng didn't know about other beating stories, whether someone was deliberately adding fuel to the fire.But the scene just now - stuck so many times, kept making the male lead "suppress", and boasted about the breeze in a disguised form, wasn't it all igniting Xia Xinghen's mood of "killing the soldiers in the concession"?The emotions that should have been "released" were constantly interrupted and "suppressed".Even after the scene, his hands would cramp.

And if it accumulates over time, and finally he can't bear it anymore, and uses Tao Qingfeng as an outlet, Xia Xinghen's beating history will be added to his glamorous record.

Tao Qingfeng thought of a report in which Xia Xinghen talked about the origin of his name and said, "This is actually the name I gave myself. I was born in July in summer, so I changed my stage name to myself."

Tao Qingfeng endured the sharp pain in his wrist, and said, "July, July Fire... Did you choose this name because you think your destiny is 'Ying Huo'?"

Xia Xinghen was taken aback when he heard the words, stared at Tao Qingfeng in disbelief, the strength in his hand suddenly relaxed, and thought to himself: He has never told anyone before, how does he know?

Flowing fire in July comes from the "Book of Songs", which means that Mars goes west, summer goes and autumn comes. "Liuhuo" is Mars. Mars was called "Yinghuo" in ancient times. It is like fire, and it is regarded as a symbol of "war" and "death". It was regarded as the coming of a catastrophe in ancient times.

Xia Xinghen took two steps back almost in panic. He was like a gopher whose protective cover was uncovered to see the sun, or a hedgehog whose belly was ripped open.

The origin of Xia Xinghen's self-defeating name, Tao Qingfeng is familiar with the official scriptures of heaven, so it is naturally easy to understand.He rubbed the wrist that had been pinched just now, and it was completely flushed.It is estimated that it will turn blue and purple later.But he said calmly to Xia Xinghen: "Don't worry, I won't be taken as a gun by others." It was clear that he was the one who nearly sprained his wrist just now, but he said "Don't be afraid" to the perpetrator.It was a strange and inexplicable picture.

"However," Tao Qingfeng asked and looked at Xia Xinghen: "Can you tell me the other things behind this?"

Xia Xinghen stood where he was, silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No. It's not necessary."

Tao Qingfeng paused, and said, "Okay. Then I'll find it myself."

"It's useless..." Xia Xinghen said a very incomprehensible sentence next, "If you really want to know...acting is not acting, and directing is not directing."

Tao Qingfeng carefully chewed this sentence in his heart, full of doubts.

Xia Xinghen turned around and left, regardless of Tao Qingfeng's reaction behind him.The hurried steps seemed to be fleeing in embarrassment.

Tao Qingfeng rubbed his wrist.It is early spring, and the clothes on his body are nine-quarter sleeves.Unable to cover up the large bruise and red mark, Tao Qingfeng found a pair of sleeves from the scattered materials at the shooting scene, covered the mark on his wrist, and walked out with a flat face.

Director Ni Ting didn't go far, he walked over casually, looking surprised that Tao Qingfeng didn't leave, looked suspiciously at Tao Qingfeng's sleeves that didn't match his clothes, and said kindly: "Why is Qingfeng still here? Just now I saw Xinghen running out from here, you, are you alright?"

Tao Qingfeng said: "Director Ni is joking, what can I do?"

Ni Ting thought about Tao Qingfeng's sleeves meaningfully, and said, "Qingfeng is quite particular? Are you used to wearing sleeves?"

Tao Qingfeng nodded and said, "So as not to get dirty. Director, if there is nothing else, I'll go back first."

When Tao Qingfeng walked by him, Ni Ting said, "Qingfeng, if you feel wronged in any way, don't hold it in your heart, we will make the decision for you. You are so young, this industry is very hard. If you have any difficulties, you can Talk to me."

Tao Qingfeng smiled lightly, and said, "Thank you director. I don't have any grievances... But there is something I want to trouble the director." Tao Qingfeng didn't want to get himself involved in the incident, but if the other party has already made it clear that he wants him to be Gun, if he doesn't show any attitude, who knows how the other party will ignite Xia Xinghen next time?

Tao Qingfeng said to Ni Ting word by word: "I really want to read the version of the script that was killed. I really want to know how good it is, so that you can never forget it."

Ni Ting's face turned cold, he gave a chuckle for a while, and said kindly, "Where is there any old script? Qingfeng, you are young, who are you listening to nonsense? Is it Xia Xinghen?"

Tao Qingfeng said unexpectedly: "Oh? On the set that day, the lines that Mr. Zhu recited by Fang Ming were different from the script? We all heard it." Tao Qingfeng bit the three words "everyone". As expected, the director flashed a gloomy look.Tao Qingfeng observed the words and expressions, and slowly said: "...I just guessed, there is an old script, isn't that the case?"

Ni Ting smiled ugly, and said: "No. That day, Hua Guo changed the words himself. You know, Hua Guo has been acting for many years. As a director, I haven't worked as long as him. The habits of old actors should be fully respected."

Tao Qingfeng observed the other person's face, and said, "No? Then I made a mistake. Thank you, Director Ni, for correcting me." Ni Ting nodded to him indifferently, as if to let it go, but the scrutiny in his eyes was clear. Not eliminated.

After Tao Qingfeng went back, he was still thinking, if it wasn't him this time, but another little fresh meat who didn't know the truth, first he was scared by Xia Xinghen's pinch like that, and he might yell out on the spot, Ni Ting would take advantage of the situation He brought a group of people in and "condemned" Xia Xinghen's rudeness.It is estimated that Xia Xinghen will gain another reputation as a "beater" in the crew, and will be exposed by the staff here later.

Tao Qingfeng won't confess what happened just now, he doesn't want to let himself continue to act along the script prepared by some people, and become another stone that makes things worse.

The implication of Ni Ting's words just now is that Tao Qingfeng expresses some "grievances".But all these calculations were in vain.Not only that, Tao Qingfeng also tested him with the script.Presumably, in this way, the other party will temporarily stop thinking about letting him be a gun.It's hard to say in the future,

Tao Qingfeng recalled that day when Xia Xinghen mentioned himself next door to the dressing room, his tone was not friendly, and the context was "Shove in... Tao Qingfeng... won't get what he wants..." That is to say, Tao Qingfeng's arrival, Is it in the calculation of some people?

He must change his mind of staying out of it.He didn't want to provoke him, but since someone wanted to drag him into the water.He had to plan ahead in order to be prepared and protect himself.

At the same time, Tao Qingfeng also had a slight bitterness in his heart: the director and the leading actor seemed to be distracted by some open and secret fights.It will have a negative impact on the final presentation of this play.Why can't we do this in a down-to-earth manner and earnestly do a good job.Tao Qingfeng felt regretful and sad.

For Tao Qingfeng, this resource is really too good a cake. After thinking about it, he called Lisa: "Sister Lisa, who came to talk to you about the drama "Return to the West" ...Ah, I'm fine, everything is fine. I just feel like I'm being taken care of all the time. How about I thank you?"

Of course Tao Qingfeng would not tell Lisa the inside story, because he was not sure if Lisa played any role in this misty vortex.He just pretended to be casually probing, to see if he could pull out some clues.

But Lisa mentioned a matchmaking candidate that Tao Qingfeng did not expect.
