Chapter 550: I can't let go of the scroll
Cai Zelun forgot how long it had been since he had read a book so seriously.
Since graduating from college, he has read the scripts of TV series and movies the most.
I can't get the script of "Farewell My Concubine" right now, so it's great to hurry up and read the original book!
Time was pressing, Cai Zelun only read a few lines of content, and the whole person was stunned.
"Brother Ringo actually chose this kind of movie for me?"
At the beginning, the content of the story is directly qualified, this is not a love story between men and women, but an entanglement between two men!
Cai Zelun, who has made up for his knowledge of Peking Opera, obviously knows that Yu Ji in Peking Opera "Farewell My Concubine" has always been sung by Danjiao, and most of Danjiao are men.
For example, the four famous Dans: Mei Lanfang, Xun Huisheng, Cheng Yanqiu, and Shang Xiaoyun, the four outstanding Dan characters, are all men.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was stipulated that women could not sing, and later it was stipulated that men and women could not be on the same stage, so the early roles were played by men.
It's just that after the liberation, because of the drama reform, the rules on men playing Dan roles were abolished, and all women were changed.
[He is Yu Ji, and he who plays against him is an overlord. The overlord is the thing that Yu Ji is attached to. When he is at the end of his rope, she can't live anymore......]
Seeing this, Cai Zelun realized that the overlord role he had been working so hard to prepare for didn't seem to be the focus, the focus was on Yu Ji!
At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little like retreating, the theme of same-sex is a bit dangerous in China.
It's easy to get stuck on the radio and television side, there was a web drama that was directly blocked when it involved this content, and even the actors were banned for two years!
However, netizens like these very much, not only rotten girls, but also ordinary netizens like to pull cp for these characters.
Now Cai Zelun's acting career is on the rise, if he is included in the blacklist of radio and television, he doesn't think he can survive the day when the ban is lifted.
Of course, if the sensitive subject is filmed well, it is easy to make a breakthrough in the award!
At various foreign award ceremonies, there are countless actors and actresses who have won awards and actresses with such niche sensitive themes.
A little distracted, Cai Zelun shook his head to dispel these thoughts from his head, and he didn't even have a single word, it was not a good thing to think too much.
After continuing to read, he realized that the time of this story seemed to be a bit long, and he came directly to the eighteenth year of the Republic of China.
Cai Zelun has acted in film and television works in the Republic of China era before and after becoming famous, and he can be said to know all kinds of atmospheres well.
When he watched Zhang Chu here, he entered it without pressure, as if he had really come to the Republic of China period, and various descriptions appropriately showed the low-level life in Yanjing at that time.
Master Guan of the opera troupe viciously reprimanded the apprentices who failed in the performance, and Xiao Shi, Xiao Leper and others gradually appeared in it.
One minute on stage, ten years of work off stage, these little apprentices want to become famous characters can go through a long training day after day!
When the terrible and painful screams in the kitchen pierced the night sky, Cai Zelun, who was reading a book, couldn't help but shake goosebumps off his body.
Damn it, it's too ruthless!
Not to mention handing over his son to the troupe, he got rid of his extra fingers without any disinfection measures.
But when Cai Zelun thought of the social situation at that time, he could understand this practice, what could a prostitute do?
The opening alone is intertwined with a sense of the times and conflicts, and people can't help but want to read it later.
For him, it's not just a pre-audition homework, it's a complete enjoyment!
It is very calm and restrained, spanning the Republic of China, the Anti-Japanese War, the Civil War, the Anti-Rightist Revolution, and so on for 60 years, and the propositions covered are very grand.
In the context of the big era, the joys and sorrows of this little person are even more legendary!
Cai Zelun has always been very worried when he reads, worried that Zhang Chu will put more pen and ink on the times, which is completely thankless for a film.
Zhang Chu obviously knows his strengths and weaknesses, and his descriptions of each period are superficial, which can resonate with readers without revealing any lack of knowledge.
And the great changes in each historical period have created and catered to the great changes in emotion!
This kind of writing is very self-aware, and much better than the losers who are not strong enough to write a great work.
After all, this is just a work, not a work of realist literature.
The text is extremely beautiful and penetrating, full of elegance, but it can pierce the blood of people's hearts with a needle, so sharp.
Such a seemingly serious story, the helpless life of a generation of Peking Opera celebrities, the story is constantly twisting and exciting!
Seeing that Cai Zelun was completely attracted by the amazing character image of Cheng Dieyi, but he knew that he could not play this role.
Cheng Dieyi sings Yu Ji, no matter how she puts on makeup, she can't get Yu Ji's appearance, which is something I tried when I was learning Peking Opera.
The most brilliant role, the most challenging role, but I can't play it myself!
This kind of inner torment makes Cai Zelun very jealous, jealous of the person who can play Cheng Dieyi.
Fortunately, the role of "Overlord" Duan Xiaolou also has a lot of room to play, and he is not the kind of person who is dispensable.
If you can't show him charming, then the movie is not convincing at all.
The man who can attract Cheng Dieyi and Juxian at the same time is by no means a straw bag!
Some people say that Duan Xiaolou was originally a scumbag, but he didn't respond to Dieyi's love, enjoyed it peacefully, and betrayed Juxian.
Some people also say that this is the crushing of human nature by En. Revolution, and this is the helplessness of human nature.
But in Zhang Chu's pen, in Cai Zelun's understanding, this is just Duan Xiaolou's compromise!
This man who combines love and body is just a strong and cowardly ordinary person.
This is an irreplaceable role in "Farewell My Concubine", Cheng Dieyi is the real Yu Ji only when she plays with Duan Xiaolou!
It was late at night, but the three people in the room were not sleepy, and they each stared at the one in front of them and refused to let go.
Lin Yongshen raised his head and twisted his neck, he walked up to Cai Zelun and asked, "How many pages have you read now?"
"I didn't even finish reading a third of it, so I sped up the process. If I had stayed up all night tonight, I would have seen more than half of it. ”
Cai Zelun yawned, the exhaustion on his face seemed to be contradictory to the mental excitement.
"You've got to go to the audition tomorrow, and it's impossible to stay up all night. You hurry up and go to bed, I'll continue to watch it with Alu, and I'll summarize the plot and characters for you when the time comes. Now you know which role you should fight for, right?"
"Cheng Dieyi is impossible, Duan Xiaolou can barely try. Zhang Chu is really amazing, he is so handy at writing this kind of story during the Republic of China!"
