Chapter 368: Urban Legends

When Liu Xiaoqing was singing, Gu Min listened very carefully, but Gu Biao didn't care.

Director Bertolucci on the side also watched with great interest.

There is no other reason, only because of the current time and space, "The Last Emperor" was filmed three and a half years in advance, so the composition of the crew is very different from the all-Chinese-American film in later generations.

Pu Yi was not played by Zunlong, but chose Uncle Daoming, the protagonist of the later TV version of "The Last Generation".

The female number one who plays Queen Wanrong is still Chen Chong, who has just become a Chinese-American female star, but the one who plays Concubine Wenxiu has changed from the Chinese-American Wu Junmei to Liu Xiaoqing - in this matter, Gu Biao did not interfere with it, and it was completely natural.

Because Wu Junmei, who joined the crew in 86 years in history, is still just a high school girl, studying in Hujiang, and she didn't have time to become an American. Three and a half years in advance, I have to find actors of the right age, and of course some people will be replaced.

And Chen Chong and Liu generally cooperated with one woman and two women two or three years ago, and they are very familiar with each other. In their eyes, the crew of "The Last Emperor" is nothing more than changing the male protagonist of "Little Flower" from Brother Guoqiang to Brother Daoming, and nothing else has changed.

Therefore, director Bertolucci is still very familiar with Liu now, after all, she is the second female lead in his film.

After singing the song, the corners of Bertolucci's mouth turned up slightly, and he patted Gu Ao's shoulder.

Gu Biao looked blankly, but Bertolucci turned to the TV Nunu and motioned for Gu Biao to watch the show.

Gu Biao took a closer look, and it turned out that after Liu Xiaoqing finished singing, some clips of the movies she starred in were inserted.

83-year-old Liu is really red and purple, and there are no tidbits and behind-the-scenes in that era, and no one in the national audience knows how the movie was made. So setting aside some behind-the-scenes footage of the set is enough to keep the national audience excited for a long time.

Historically, the Spring Festival Gala in 83 was just to relieve everyone's longing, so it took a few minutes to put on the tidbits of "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with the Curtain", and finally it became the program with the best response from the audience of the entire Spring Festival Gala.

However, now because "The Last Emperor" has cut the queue in advance, Great Wall Pictures' "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Politics of the Curtain" have been postponed and have not yet started. Because the heroine and the filming location are not available yet, we have to wait.

As for Liang Jiahui, who was supposed to make his debut for the first time by playing Emperor Xianfeng in "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", now because of this lag, he is still a 25-year-old Shaw Brothers training class trick, and he doesn't dare to think about the Xiangjiang Academy Award actor at all.

can only watch Andy Lau, a classmate in the Shaw Brothers training class, become popular by relying on the resources brought by Fa Ge and by making movies that "big stars dare not go to the mainland for fear of being banned by Wanwan", and no one will reward him for the opportunity to "defect to the mainland despite the ban".

As an aside, in history, Liang Jiahui originally watched the example of his classmate Andy Lau seizing the opportunity of "Running to the Angry Sea", so he also chose the small competition model of "Defecting to the Mainland Filming Film" to make his debut, and joined the "Burning of the Old Summer Palace" of Great Wall Pictures, which has the background of mainland capital.

But because he was more successful than Andy Lau and won the 83-year Xiangjiang Academy Award for the role of Emperor Xianfeng, it attracted protests from the Wanwan authorities against the entire Shaw Brothers company, requiring Shaw Brothers to block Liang Jiahui for three years before allowing other Shaw Brothers films to be broadcast in the Wanwan market.

So Liang Jiahui won the Academy Award for his first film, but he was unemployed for three years immediately after winning it, and he only made a comeback in 86, and he set up a stall in Xiangjiang to sell fish balls for a living in the middle of 3 years. Later, in Andy Lau and Zhang Xueyou's "Mong Kok Carmen", the plot design of the character played by Zhang Xueyou who does not mix with the underworld and sells fish balls is adapted from Liang Jiahui's three-year unemployment experience.

Because of these side changes, the tidbits of "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", which was supposed to be broadcast on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, naturally became "The Last Emperor", and the content is still about how Liu filmed, how to communicate and learn from Italian directors.

There are also some shots of the two major completed attractions of the "New Yuanmingyuan" built by Gu Biao.

Obviously, these shots were taken by Bertolucci recently

Liu, as the host of the gala, also introduced a lot of inside stories of filming to the national audience on TV, including introducing the set. As a result, audiences across the country knew that there was a Monaco Film Investment Company, which invested in a large-scale project to rebuild the Old Summer Palace in Qiantang, just to make a movie.

All of a sudden, the national audience was in an uproar.

"Wow! I heard that there is a mysterious big boss in France or Italy, who has invested at least tens of millions of dollars to rebuild the Old Summer Palace in Qiantang!"

"Nonsense! The French use the name franc, and the franc is not worth as much as the dollar, so you have to invest one or two hundred million francs. ”

"That's the Royal Palace, foreigners are rich, in order to make a movie, it's too extravagant. ”

"This movie must be very good, and it is estimated that it can win a super award in a foreign country. ”

Because there are only so many TV sets in the country, theoretically only more than 10 million households can directly watch tonight's program.

Even if we consider that "the seven aunts and eight aunts must all go to the relatives who have the richest relatives in the family and have TV sets for reunion dinner", and increase the number of people covered by each TV set to 20 people, then less than 300 million Chinese will see it for the first time.

In fact, it can't be so much, after all, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is impossible to rub like "Hujiang Beach", and the whole village flocks to the big families. 200 million is the most.

Under false rumors, when these 200 million people visit their relatives and friends who have not watched TV on Chinese New Year's Eve tomorrow, they will magnify this information to show that they are well-informed and different from their relatives and friends.

Then, the words later became:

"I heard that a big French/Italian boss spent hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild a Old Summer Palace in Qiantang!

"Really! Lie to you, Mu Youxiao**! You think it's the Royal Palace, how many times has it been expanded from Kangxi to Qianlong, more than a hundred years. Even with modern technology, isn't it a whole few hundred million dollars, can it be built well?"

"Go, go, go! Just a second-class dealer like you doesn't know the news that the three, five, or six dealers have heard, what kind of garlic is put here to put on what score! Listen, brother, this is the truth. Inside information: In fact, the big French boss is a disguise! I heard that it is the big boss Gu Biao who wrote "Walking on the Road of Life" for Teresa Teng/Liu Xiaoqingβ€”β€”

What, you don't know who Gu Biao is? It's the big boss of doctoral students brought by Secretary of State Kissinger. People like you, you haven't read the red-headed front page of Renren Daily on the first day of last year's New Year, the photo of the White House lawn banquet at President Regan's inauguration!

Now, it's this Gu Biao who cooperated with the royal family of a small country near France, and the kings of those small countries are his puppets. Saying that countrymen like you are countrymen, you don't even understand the truth that a small country is a puppet of a big country's dignitaries. You don't want to think about how many kings of small countries would be puppets of people like Kissinger if they went out in person. I heard that this Gu Biao is Kissinger's doctor who is closed, do you really think that he will be inferior to those princes of small countries......"

Of course, the only people who can boast about their knowledge and boast can blow to this point must be really knowledgeable citizens in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. It is estimated that the proportion of TV viewers in the Spring Festival Gala is unparalleled.

Those people in the countryside who are really isolated in the countryside, even if they want to blow this force, they don't have the imagination.

But people's envy, jealousy, and hatred are all of the same heart and reason.

"I really want to go to Qiantang to see what the unburned Old Summer Palace looks like, but unfortunately it must be very expensive and very strict. ”

"That's it, let's talk about it, let's get tired of seeing the Forbidden City first, and then let's talk about the Old Summer Palace. ”

……

Gu Biao didn't know how much trouble he had unconsciously caused outside.

He just boasted about the business with director Bertolucci, from the filming techniques to the image and performance of the main characters.

Then he took Bertolucci and his female assistant to eat and drink well, and made two rooms, and left them to stay in the Gu Mansion for the night.

Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Bertolucci left, and Gu Biao called Qiu Qing and asked Director Qiu to arrange someone to relay the baton to greet him.

However, the Gu Mansion will not be quiet.

Although there are no relatives, my sister's colleagues, classmates, and subordinates in Daddy's factory all come to Gufu to pay New Year's greetings.

Everyone saw Gu Biao's "Spring Festival Gala Named and Ordered Songs" last night, and they were in awe, hugging their thighs even more eagerly.

only hates that the Gu family lacks nothing, and those who try to give heavy gifts end up finding that giving anything can't make the other party interested. It's better to return to the original intention, don't care about the severity, as long as the mind arrives.

According to southern customs, the first day of the new year is to pay New Year's greetings to the same clan and family, the second day of the new year is to pay New Year's greetings to the wife's family and the family's family, and then to the aunts and uncles.

However, when the status of man is high, all these laws are invalid.

This year, there is another group of people in the Gu family, who came to the door on the first day of the Lunar New Year - mainly Aunt Wang Xue's mother's family. They stopped worshipping with Zongben's family, and came to their uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings first.

At the same time, because Wang Xue is nearly half a year younger than her father, her father is actually younger than her son-in-law. The Wang family was afraid of violating the taboo of the Gu family, and they didn't dare to talk about seniority, so they were completely called "elder brother and elder brother" for a while.

Gu Biao was caught off guard by a bunch of his stepmother's brothers, who were said to be his cheap uncles, who to reason with.

"Brother Gu, it's really for our Qiantang people, oh, it's not for our Wu Yue people to have a long face. In the first Spring Festival Gala, you can name and leave your name and order songs on CCTV, which is amazing. ”

"Brother Gu has a bright future, and everyone has to sell face. I heard that a certain general ......"

Gu Biao couldn't help it, afraid that these people would say something discordant again, so he stopped: "Eh, eh, hey!

Gu Biao snapped, then got up and arched his hand in the direction of the capital, "I'm just ordering a song, don't over-interpret it! Otherwise, you will be responsible for saying the wrong thing in the future!"
