The drama "Orange is Red", when it was broadcast that year, it was when "Deep Love" was in full swing, although the era was one in the late Qing Dynasty and the other in the early Republic of China, not far apart, but the style was very different, and the heavy theme of oranges still tore a hole in the ratings at that time.

When the first ten episodes were broadcast, the highest rating of "Orange is Red" reached 7 points, and the ratings champion of the entire 02 years "The Granary of the World" was 12, and as for the ratings champion "Deep Love" in 01, it was 11, which shows the popularity.

In fact, the plot is also very simple, if you change the name, you can call it "The Rong Brothers and the Three Wives", and the timeline is not long, just a few years before and after.

The main story is that the lord of the Rong family went to the city to marry the second wife because the eldest wife could not have children, and the eldest lady who lived in the countryside carefully selected a girl Xiuhe who was similar to her young temperament in order to save the master, and the sixth master Rong Yaohui worshipped for him.

Sure enough, when the old man returned to the countryside, he did like the third wife, and it didn't take long for the second and third wives to become pregnant one after another.

But later I learned that it was actually the old man who couldn't have children.

In this way, the child in the belly of the second and third children is definitely not Master Rong's, the second child is looking for it outside, and the third child's belly is the sixth master's Rong Yaohui's - when I saw the church, I liked it.

Although he is not a master, after all, he can't have children, but the fat in the stomach of the third wife has not flowed into the fields of outsiders, and he is still the descendant of their Rong family.

In the end, the third wife played by Zhou Xun, in order to protect the reputation of the Rong family, drew a clear line with the sixth master played by Huang Lei, but encountered heavy bleeding during childbirth, and the master and the eldest wife were ready to protect the adult, but the third wife insisted on protecting the child and leaving the queen for the master, after all, the inheritance was also very popular at that time.

At the same time, the sixth master Rong Yaohui was in Gusu City, holding a wedding with his fiancée.

In the senses of many people at that time, they felt that the second wife in the play, Yan Hong, and her good friend Wu Dawei were not things, and the old lady looked quite pitiful but also selfish.

As for the third wife Xiuhe and Yaohui, the hard-working mandarin ducks, they are particularly pitiful and have become victims of feudal etiquette, but they also have their own mistakes, that is, their identities are actually the relationship between sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

In this, everyone has hatefulness, but everyone also has pitiful, there is no particularly big difference between right and wrong, just like most people in real life -

Everyone has shortcomings, but these shortcomings are not enough to turn you into a demon, and similarly, everyone has advantages, but these are not enough to make you an angel.

is such a complex relationship of love and hate, which reflects reality, everyone is not happy, everyone has their own desires and restraints, and they also have their own helplessness and sighs.

Just like Wang Xiaoshuai didn't think about Ning Yuan before, Ning Yuan didn't think about this drama himself, because he didn't think about making a TV series again in the past few years, after all, it took too long.

But Wang Xiaoshuai's words still aroused Ning Yuan's interest, after all, the characters in this drama are very distinct, especially the sixth master Rong Yaohui played by Huang Lei, which is a bit like Xu Zhimo in the "April Day in the World" he played with Zhou Xun before, which is also very entangled.

This seventeen-year-old bicycle has just started filming, and since Zhou Xun is here, it proves that it will take a while for the orange to become popular, and according to the progress of this movie, it will be at least three or four months later.

At that time, it was almost November and February, and the general professional courses would end during that period, and the last thing left was the cultural class, and Ning Yuan really had time to take over the film.

With the quality of oranges, and the role of Huang Lei's sixth master of the Rong family, there is a lot of room for play.

As the saying goes, people love comedy, but often tragedy leaves a deeper impression.

This orange is red, although it is a kind of sadness, but more, it is still that kind of helplessness, although the final ending, no one has a too miserable ending, but everyone, did not get the result he wanted.

Regret may better interpret the theme of this drama.

Under Li Shaohong's direction, the whole atmosphere, from the music to the arrangement of the environment, to the depressed hearts of the characters, is calm and accumulating strength, and then until the final truth is revealed, everyone feels pain.

Zhou Xun, at this time, has already shown her superb acting skills, the heroine is gentle and subtle, wise and imaginative, kind and dares to pursue her love dream, and the helplessness of finally knowing the truth, and insisting on keeping the child's persistence after giving birth to a child with heavy bleeding, and the performance is quite good.

So when it was broadcast, this drama was quite popular, and even Ning Yuan, who didn't like to watch this type of drama at that time, couldn't help but watch it because many people were discussing it.

Of course, this drama also has flaws, just like every drama of Li Shaohong, she will always make some dull atmosphere a little overcast, and even making horror movies is enough, Daming Palace is like this, oranges are red like this, and even Dream of Red Mansions, which she took over from Hu Mei many years later, is also the same.

Of course, when "Daming Palace Ci" was broadcast, that kind of exquisite scene and delicate shots shocked many people at once. But ten years later, Li Shaohong's set was put into "Dream of Red Mansions", and it thundered many people.

Ning Yuan feels that Li Shaohong is still the same as she was at the beginning, she has not changed her artistic style over the years, and there is nothing wrong with insisting on her own artistic style, but what is wrong is that she does not understand the growth of the audience.

From the very beginning of blindly accepting and Grandma Liu's admiration for entering the Grand View Garden, to the future of a strong brick, in just ten years, the audience has seen a lot and has grown rapidly, and your director still uses the style of ten years ago, and still wants that kind of praise, which is impossible.

But the flaws are not hidden, "Orange" is a very good work, and Ning Yuan believes that if he plays it himself, he will definitely be more in place than Huang Lei.

After all, Huang Lei was only thirty years old at this time, and he could only replace those complex emotions with expressive methods, although Huang Lei had already obtained a master's degree in acting at this time and was still teaching at Jingying, while Ning Yuan was just a sophomore undergraduate student of Huaju.

But Ning Yuan can completely use the way of experience, because he has experienced all those helplessness.

With experience, with experience, the effect is naturally better than the performance.

Competing head-on with him, Ning Yuan is not afraid of anything, but there is one thing, Li Shaohong has cooperated with Huang Lei before, and what he is afraid of is with preconceived ideas.

In her previous life, when Ning Yuan debuted, Li Shaohong had already had a very high status in the TV circle, and when Ning Yuan started filming TV series, she had no new works except for a new Red Mansion.

Therefore, Ning Yuan doesn't know much about her, and has only seen her on some occasions, and his impression of her comes more from the evaluation in the circle.

Mixed reviews, both from people and works.

said that she praised her to the sky, such as being good at tapping the potential of actors, delicate and stylish portrayal of the plot, being good to actors, and teaching her earnestly.

said badly, and also unscrupulously criticized, such as making every TV series like a ghost movie, daring to shoot it without watching it all over again, suppressing an actor surnamed Yang who will be popular in the future, snarky and mean, and so on.

But only in terms of works, the two TV series "Daming Palace Ci" and "Orange is Red", as well as the movie "Bloody Morning", Ning Yuan likes it very much.

Of course, another "Forty Not Confused" starring Li Xuedao, Song Dandan and Ye Jing is also good in some aspects.

In other words, these two years are her watershed, most of them were excellent works before, and after that, it is difficult to say.

Subsequently, Wang Xiaoshuai called Li Shaohong.

Although Ning Yuan couldn't hear what was said over there, looking at Wang Xiaoshuai's expression at this time, it didn't seem to be smooth sailing.

If you think about it, you will know that Li Shaohong actually has one thing in common in those negative evaluations, that is, emotional, will look at people and things with strong subjective ideas, such people, if they have preconceived ideas, it is not easy to accept new ones.

Perhaps, she has already identified Huang Lei in her heart at this time.

But Ning Yuan's character is not the kind of person who retreats when he encounters a setback, but it also arouses his competitive spirit.

This is related to his growth experience, if he retreats when he encounters difficulties, it is estimated that there will be no later him, he has long followed the hardships, or settled with the encounter.

There is no turning back from the start of work, and now that Wang Xiaoshuai hasn't said anything, he will retreat first, which will make Wang Xiaoshuai embarrassed, unless Li Shaohong sees him and watches his audition, and tells him in person that he doesn't want himself, at that time, Ning Yuan will give up.

At least this will not chill Wang Xiaoshuai's heart, after all, he recommended it.

After a while, Wang Xiaoshuai glanced at Ning Yuan, then walked away with his mobile phone, Ning Yuan couldn't hear what he was saying, and after a while, Ning Yuan saw Wang Xiaoshuai come back, and said to himself with a smile:

"Okay, that's it, if you have time in the afternoon, you can go to her company, she is just going over there to do something, she will meet you by the way." ”

"Thank you, handsome. Ning Yuan said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Ning Yuan found that this title was too interesting, Wang Xiaoshuai had probably heard it many times, and grinned with a smile, and Ning Yuan also laughed:

"Didn't you think of this day when you chose the name, as long as you are younger than you, you have to shout a handsome guy? ”

"At that time, how could there be such a title, it only came out in the past two years. Wang Xiaoshuai waved his hand, and then suddenly realized something:

"That's not right, you, you call the third uncle to the third brother, but you call me a handsome guy, the wrong generation, right?"

"Doesn't this look like you're young!" Ning Yuan said with a smile.

Wang Xiaoshuai raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean...... Third brother?"

Ning Yuan said disapprerovantly: "If I really call him the third brother, I guess he should whip me, my age multiplied by two is not as old as his." ”

Wang Xiaoshuai smiled, thinking in his heart that if it wasn't for a certain part, his words would probably make him nervous, but Ning Yuan didn't worry at all.

In the afternoon, Ning Yuan asked Ning Daqiang to rest in the hotel and went to Li Shaohong's company to meet her.

Her company, in fact, was jointly established by her, her husband Zeng Nianping, and Li Xiaowan, called Rongxinda Film and Television.

The early collocation was directed by Li Shaohong, Zeng Nianping took the camera, and Li Xiaowan served as the producer, but since the beginning of the past two years, Zeng Nianping has also begun to direct.

For example, the "April Day in the World" was directed by him, but it was not independent, but cooperated with Ding Yaming, one of the producers of this drama and another director sent by Baodao investors.

However, Zeng Nianping's level is far behind Li Shaohong, "April Day in the World" is a pure emotional drama, there is no more suspense, and the fascinating plot is attractive to attract people.

That's why smooth tailoring and rhythmic control are all the more important. It should be as soothing, lyrical, and staggered as Xu Zhimo's beautiful and catchy poems.

But in Ning Yuan's senses, this play is procrastinated and dull, such as the repeated scenes of Xu and Lin dating in the play, the location is either an ancient temple in the suburbs or a deep corridor, the composition is beautiful, but this lack of creativity and repetition with the actors' cookie-cutter expressions and lack of emotion will test the audience's endurance.

What's more, the advancement of the plot does not have any sense of rhythm, just blindly slowing down, thinking that slow is equal to lyrical, light and tasteless, like a glass of warm water.

Naturally, this drama did not make much splash after it was broadcast, but this drama was also the beginning of Liu Xiaoying and Yi Nengjing coming to the mainland to shoot dramas.

However, from only one point, Yi Nengjing plays Lu Xiaoman as a ticket holder who is good at Kunqu opera performances, but the crew only gave her two days to learn to act.

Although their company has been established for five or six years, it is still not big, and it is not comparable to the spacious full-floor office space of Ning Yuan, but it is quite close to Ning Yuan's company.

Inside, when Ning Yuan took off his sunglasses and mask, the little girl at the front desk suddenly had her eyes lit up and blurted out: "Ning Yuan!"

Ning Yuan smiled and nodded: "Hello." ”

Obviously, Li Shaohong explained that after the little girl had the initial surprise, she took Ning Yuan to Li Shaohong's office.

Li Shaohong looked white and clean, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looked quite demure, but she was greeting Ning Yuan, and after Ning Yuan sat down, the first thing she said made Ning Yuan stunned.

"The reason why I am willing to meet you is not because of how popular you are now, or what awards you have won, but for the sake of Xiao Wang and the third brother. ”

This, this attitude, it doesn't seem to be so easy to get along with, but Ning Yuan didn't show it on his face, smiled, and retreated as the way forward:

"Thank you Director Li for taking time out of your busy schedule, so, what does Director Li mean now?"

Li Shaohong picked up a pile of bound materials from the table and handed it over.

Ning Yuan took it, and saw that the words orange is red and the script are written on it, and Li Shaohong said:

"Well, you take this back and look at it first, and in a week, you can contact me again, and we will meet and tell you what you think. ”

Ning Yuan was stunned, in fact, he was no stranger to this way.
