Chapter 3 Choice
After being reborn, Yi Qing asked for leave for the first time, riding a bicycle, like stepping on hot wheels, all the way to the address that Li Zhixin gave him yesterday.
Yesterday all night, Yi Qing didn't sleep well, two lives, he found out for the first time that life also has multiple choice questions, in his previous life, his life of more than 30 years can be said to be very dull, go to school step by step, obey the family's arrangement to be a soldier, after leaving the army, he learned a craft for life, and then went to work and get off work.
After reliving again, when Yi Qing found that the original owner of his life had made a good choice for him, he did not resist, he didn't like the job of a chef much, and of course he didn't reject it, after all, he had done it for more than ten years in his previous life, and he had long been used to it.
If I hadn't met the guests at the table of 208 yesterday, and if I hadn't had that note, maybe Yi Qing's life would still go on step by step like in his previous life, and when he was old enough, he would marry a daughter-in-law who couldn't talk about love or not, but could live a lifetime, and have children until he died of old age, or God would favor him and give him another chance to be reborn.
But if you think about it, this is unlikely, and God's pie can't be beckoned to a person's head.
But Wang Fulin's words, as well as the note handed over by Li Zhixin, made his heart suddenly come alive.
Yi Qing doesn't know how to act, and he is not a drama lover, in his previous life, he did like to watch movies, but it was just a hobby for the audience, maybe if it was another person, another play, he would only treat it as if nothing had happened, and soon forget about it.
But Wang Fulin and "Dream of Red Mansions" are obviously different.
The 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", Yi Qing didn't know how many times he watched it in his previous life, generally speaking, the kind of TV series with children's love is difficult for a big man to watch, but Yi Qing is an exception.
Once you fall asleep, you will never wake up.
Although screenwriter Zhou Ling repeatedly emphasized in an interview later that the purpose of the Red Chamber in the end was to make people wake up from their dreams, few could really do it.
When he arrived at the door of the guest house, without any hesitation, Yi Qing stepped in.
"Hello, comrade, Is the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" here? Director Wang asked me to come over. ”
As he spoke, he handed over the note.
In fact, it has been more than a year since CCTV launched the project "Dream of Red Mansions", and the clerk of the guest house is naturally no stranger, listening to Yi Qing's explanation, he picked up the phone and dialed a number, said a few words, and looked Yi Qing up and down.
"Little comrade, you wait here first, someone will come down to pick you up in a while!"
Yi Qing thanked him, and stood at the top of the stairs, and after a while, a tall middle-aged man walked down quickly, Yi Qing looked over, he also knew this person, and he had appeared in the reunion of the Red Chamber many times, Zhou Ling, was also one of the screenwriters of the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew at the beginning of its establishment.
"You're Yi Qing!?"
Yi Qing nodded: "Hello, I'm Yi Qing, and Director Wang asked me to come over!"
Zhou Ling stared at Yi Qing up and down for a long time, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay! Director Wang mentioned you when he came back yesterday, you come with me, Director Wang is on the third floor!"
Yi Qing didn't say much, followed Zhou Ling upstairs, and when he passed the second floor, he heard a neutral voice coming from a room.
"The hierarchy is strict, the upper and lower are respectful and inferior, although the story of the Red Chamber does not make it clear which dynasty and which generation, but the author Cao Xueqin lived in the early Qing Dynasty, and some of the etiquette concepts in the story were written with reference to the Qing Dynasty, for example, the self-title of the slave was not available in the Ming Dynasty!"
Yi Qing listened and couldn't help but stop, Zhou Ling said with a smile when he saw this: "This is the actor recruited by the crew in class, but the people who invited to give the lecture are all Hongxue." ”
Yi Qing nodded, he naturally knew about this matter, and when the crew of the Red Chamber reunited in the future, he mentioned many times that before the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", two training classes were held in the spring and summer of 1984, in order to let the actors get familiar with the Red Mansion and understand the Red Mansion, and at the same time, they also taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and cultivated sentiment.
Working so hard just to make a movie, which is simply unimaginable in the future.
This is also the reason why the 87 version of Dream of Red Mansions can finally become a classic, and all subsequent versions can only become jokes, that is, because now this group of people has a sense of awe for the masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions", and at the same time, they have a strong sense of responsibility in order to make this classic masterpiece of their own nation.
While the two of them walked up, Zhou Ling also introduced Yi Qing at the same time: "Xiao Yi, have you seen "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
Yi Qing nodded: "I've seen it, my grandfather and father are both red fans." ”
Yi Qing is of course talking about his father and ancestors in his previous life, he likes "Dream of Red Mansions", in fact, he was influenced by his father and ancestors.
If a person has been chanting the same story in his ear since he was a child, even if he is a dull person, he will be fascinated, Yi Qing is like this, his father and ancestor are not experts in red studies, but their understanding of "Dream of Red Mansions" is obviously better than that of ordinary people.
Zhou Ling said with a smile when he heard this: "In this way, Director Wang is looking for you, and he is really looking for the right one!"
The crew has now recruited a lot of actors, but that group of young people didn't know much about the book "Dream of Red Mansions" before joining the group.
After all, in that special era, the literature of Red Mansions, which tells about the love of children, was to be criticized as a poisonous weed.
As he spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the door, Zhou Ling didn't knock on the door, and pushed the door directly in, it was full of smoke, Yi Qing hesitated for a few seconds before following in, and took a look, they were all seen in 208 yesterday, and the one sitting opposite the door was Wang Fulin, the director of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
"Hello, Director Wang!"
Wang Fulin didn't speak, his face that was still smiling, when he saw Yi Qing, suddenly became extremely serious, looked at it for a while, then got up and walked in front of Yi Qing, circled around him, and suddenly said, "Why are you so tall!?"
Yi Qing was inexplicable when he heard it, and before he could speak, he heard Zhou Ling on the side also say: "I didn't pay attention just now, Director Wang, when you said this, I realized that it was too high!"
The old man who sat in the right seat in 208 yesterday also said with a regretful face: "It's a pity, it's a pity!"
Wang Fulin looked at Yi Qing with a dejected expression and said, "You have to be one meter eight tall, right?"
Yi Qing still didn't understand what was going on, but replied honestly: "One meter eighty-five!"
Wang Fulin patted his head and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't see this problem yesterday, it's too high, it's too high! He's the same as Hou Changrong, he can't act!"
It's all a mess.
Yi Qing knew that Hou Changrong mentioned by Wang Fulin was also an actor in the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", and later played two roles in the play, one was the king of Beijing and the other was Liu Xianglian.
Yi Qing couldn't help but ask, "Director Wang, what's too high?"
Wang Fulin didn't speak, and the old man replied, "It's just that you're too tall, little comrade, do you know what I came to you for today?"
Isn't it acting?
The old man didn't wait for Yi Qing to answer, so he continued: "This crew is going to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions", I saw you yesterday, Director Wang just wanted to find you to play Jia Baoyu!"
When Yi Qing heard this, he felt his head stunned.
Jia Baoyu! He actually had the opportunity to play Jia Baoyu!
Yi Qing knew that his current body looked good, and he picked out a few words used to describe a beautiful man in the novel, and he could paste any sword eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and heroic posture.
Put your face on Jia Baoyu's image, don't say it, it's really quite side-by-side, but it's a little less fat.
But before Yi Qing was excited, he remembered that Wang Fulin, Zhou Ling, and the old man all said to him just now, "It's a pity", he hasn't tried it on yet, is he going to be eliminated?
Zhou Ling then explained: "Xiao Yi, you have read the Red Mansion, you should know that at the beginning of the story, Bao Daichai's age is also in her teens, of course, if it is made into a TV series, it must be artistically processed, but the age cannot be too big, you are 1.85 meters tall, the crew really can't match you with such a tall Daiyu, Baochai." ”
As soon as Zhou Ling said this, Yi Qing understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, men want to be taller, who knows, now his height makes him miss an opportunity in vain, if he is short, he can still solve it through some means, such as Deng Jie, she is short, but she can still play Wang Xifeng's aura, but if he is too tall, there is no way to solve this, and he can't let him bend his legs to act.
No wonder Wang Fulin was so disappointed just now, Yi Qing had read a lot of documentary literature before and after the filming of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life, and the most difficult thing for the crew of Red Mansions at that time was the selection of Jia Baoyu.
At that time, Mr. Wu Zuguang, a Hongxue master, was very optimistic when he heard that he was going to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions", and the key factor was that he thought that the crew could not find an actor suitable to play Jia Baoyu.
He also said a very famous sentence: "Why can't "Dream of Red Mansions" be filmed? It's because the actor who plays Jia Baoyu hasn't been born yet!"
The crew also found several actors to come over before, but none of them could satisfy Wang Fulin, and finally took a fancy to Yi Qing, but because he was too tall, he had to give up.
Although he felt a little pity, Yi Qing was not disappointed, he just missed it, and he could be regarded as having the courage to make a choice for his life, but he still couldn't jump out of his current life.
"That's right, since it's not suitable, I'll go first. ”
Yi Qing was talking, already thinking about how to use this half-day holiday, it was rare to rest for half a day, and it was time to clean up the yard, the weather was getting warmer, should you plant some vegetables in the yard.
Wang Fulin and the others are still feeling sorry for missing a treasure jade again, Yi Qing has already begun to think about other things, he just has this ability, this is the case in his previous life, it is difficult to have one thing that can make him feel troubled, and it is difficult to have one thing that can tie his heart for a long time.
After Yi Qing finished speaking, he was about to leave, but when Wang Fulin saw this, he hurriedly stopped him: "Wait!"
Turning his head, he looked at Wang Fulin in surprise.
"Xiao Yi, have you ever studied martial arts?"
What's going on?
Yi Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Learned!"
He did learn, in his last life, he followed his grandfather to learn Yanqing boxing, Baguazhang, and later became a soldier and learned a few hands of Wing Chun in the army with the old squad leader, even after being discharged from the army, he never slacked off, after being reborn, the first thing he did was to pick up the kung fu, and he didn't dare to say anything else, and it was certain that more than a dozen people would not fall behind.
Wang Fulin was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! Liu Xianglian, can you act?"
