Chapter 916: Chinese Version of Gone with the Wind [Asking for a Monthly Pass]

Not a last resort, which mother would hand over her child to a drama master?

obviously saw that the rest of the children were suffering from corporal punishment, but in order to let him survive in the troubled times, this mother from a Qinglou even ruthlessly cut off her son's extra finger!

The bloody scene stunned many viewers.

This is inevitably too ruthless, and this opening is beyond everyone's expectations.

The next scene is a group of children struggling to learn Peking Opera, and this film is probably the first to show foreigners the story behind Peking Opera.

As the quintessence of the country, Peking Opera is well-known overseas.

But it's hard to imagine that the group of actors who performed on stage came over little by little when they were young.

Although European and American audiences don't know the saying that one minute on stage and ten years of work off the stage, they also know that such artistic performances have to go through hard training, such as ballet dancers, don't they work hard?

The soundtrack reaches its peak here, and it gives people a sense of sadness coming from it.

Leia stared intently at the big screen, she rarely watched Chinese movies, and this time it gave her a long-lasting shock.

The children of the opera troupe sang the lyrics of the Peking Opera "Farewell My Concubine" by the snowy river, and the director Xu Ji used the technique of montage here, and the children became a group of teenagers when they sang and sang.

There is a saying in Liyuan Xing, saying that men are afraid of "Night Run" and women are afraid of "Sifan".

These are two extremely difficult repertoire, which require the actors to perform and sing at the same time, which requires high performance skills from the actors themselves.

Xiaodouzi sings Danjiao, but the sentence "I am a female Jiao'e" in the opera is always sung by him as "I am a man", even if he is repeatedly beaten by the master, he can't change it!

At this time, Xiaodouzi has not really entered the play, and there is no wrong gender recognition.

The two children, Little Leper and Little Bean, couldn't bear the life of the opera troupe, and ran out while the master was away, they all felt that this was a yearning for freedom and a thirst for freedom!

However, where did the freedom come from.

How can children survive in troubled times?

The two of them ate the rock sugar gourd in their hearts, and then saw the corner that swept the city, and watched the beautiful performance on the stage, and the two children shed tears.

One cried and said, "How did they get into the corners, how many beatings do they have to take?"

This picture is destined to become a classic clip, and countless viewers have begun to feel sorry for these children, the scenery in front of people, and the injuries behind people.

There was an obese middle-aged white lady who even picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she could really understand the reason why the little boy was crying bitterly!

However, more painful episodes awaited her later.

After watching the performance in the theater, Xiaodouzi and Xiaolezi returned to the theater class, but at this time, the senior brother was being beaten for letting the two go, and Xiaodouzi took the initiative to lift his pants and lie on the bench waiting for punishment.

And the little leper stuffed a rock sugar gourd into his mouth with a frightened face, rags and clothes, and breathed into steam, and the little actor's acting skills were really displayed in these two scenes, as if he could never eat this kind of food again.

The plot and soundtrack give people a bad premonition, when Master Guan is punishing Xiaoshi and Xiaodouzi, the little leper hangs himself.

Before he became a corner, he announced the end of his life in this way!

"It's a mistake of the times, he just ran out to buy food and watch a show, why did he kill himself?"

"The frightened and desperate eyes are too good, this child's future is limitless!"

"If a person dies like this, how can the master of the opera troupe decide a person's life and death?"

"Alas. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity ”

The story does not end with the death of the little leper, but moves forward steadily.

The plot has also come to the first major conflict point, Master Guan will tell you the details of the play "Farewell My Concubine", which is closely related to the topic, and this play has been running through the whole movie.

This is the early days of the Republic of China, the eunuch Zhang of the previous dynasty passed his birthday, and someone came to the troupe to select actors, and the troupe manager chose the little bean that was practicing by the well at a glance.

The corners of his mouth were crying blood, and he sang the lyrics that couldn't be sung correctly with a clear singing voice like a nightingale!

The performance in Zhang's Mansion was naturally successful, and the play "Farewell My Concubine" was well received, but Xiaodouzi was molested by the somewhat crazy eunuch Zhang.

Time passed quietly, and the two teenagers have now become famous corners in the capital, just like the scene that Xiaodouzi saw on the side of the road, but the person with the rock sugar gourd is no longer there.

An hour is not a lifetime!

A clear-eyed person can naturally easily see through Cheng Dieyi's feelings for his senior brother Duan Xiaolou, and even when he was jealous of Ju Xian, he was so clear, and he never thought about hiding anything!

The plot behind the movie is becoming more and more linked and in line with the background of the times.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the practices of the overlord and Yu Ji were completely different, one was the overlord who was full of patriotic feelings but did not dare to sing, and the other was Yu Ji who had to sing in order to save the overlord.

The Dongying army and the People's Liberation Army have all come to listen to the play after entering Beiping, but the reaction is not the same at all.

The plot is developing so fast that if you don't pay full attention, you won't be able to understand what is going on!

The screening hall of more than 1,000 people was silent, and the audience stared intently at the screen, looking at the images and subtitles, trying to understand the emotions and the impact of the times.

The former brother and the former adopted son and adoptive father eventually exposed each other.

That is the sorrow of the times, that is the sorrow of the whole society!

The characteristics of each character are distinct, and each character has a close relationship with the times, which is a thick historical picture, which connects the evolution of modern China through the lives of two Peking Opera performers for decades.

Although the play "Farewell My Concubine" often appears in the movie, it is the beginning of the performance every time, and the plot of Yu Ji killing herself at the end never appears.

And when Duan Xiaolou, who was no longer young, and Cheng Dieyi, who was no longer in his prime, put on costumes and stood on the empty stage, Yu Ji and Cheng Dieyi became one, and finally drew their swords and killed themselves, died in their own hands, and died in the arms of the overlord!

Reality and drama have lost their boundaries, and a Peking Opera actor has achieved the truth of art with himself.

The list of crew members slowly scrolled, and the audience almost stood up and applauded desperately with their hands, sending their own insignificant encouragement to the story.

The applause did not mean to stop, and many people were still immersed in the ending and did not come out!

They originally didn't know the allusion of Farewell My Concubine, but after many explanations in the movie, they knew the ending of Yu Ji, a historical figure, and now a Peking Opera actor who played Yu Ji ended his life in the same way as Yu Ji, which cannot but be said to be an extremely shocking thing.

Leia exclaimed, "I love this movie and this story, it's the Chinese version of Gone with the Wind!"

November is here, and this book is being limited and exempted, and I strongly call for everyone's guaranteed monthly pass!
