Chapter 116: Sitting

"While there is still some time to leave the plane, do you two want to go out for a walk?"

"Oh"

Lu Yan didn't understand what Chen Shu meant, so he looked at Yuan Yu, who nodded in the back seat, and said, "Then I'll go back." ”

Seeing that the car was far away, Lu Yan came back to his senses a little, and sighed inexplicably in his heart, thinking about it, he was happy, thinking about what he was not doing, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly, even if he failed to achieve the desired result in the end, there is nothing to regret, it is fate to be able to walk together, and it is fate not to go together, the profundity at that time, after the passage of time, will eventually evolve into a part of the memory, it is better to worry about the day than to be at ease at the moment, thank you for coming, and you don't have to regret leaving.

He didn't ask Yuan Yu and Xia Yu what kind of development they would have in the future, parting ways or getting back together, it was their respective choices, and no one could tell if it was right or wrong after the fact, and the news of * Ya and Li Xue one after another made him not have so much spare time to worry about anything else, and a week before the signing conference, the training class started a few days earlier than expected.

After nearly half a month, the start-up time was finally set, April 21, according to *Ya, it was a good day to invite Mr. to watch.

"Everyone, I won't say much politely, I want to emphasize that from the moment we stepped into the hotel, our Zhenguan officially began, so you can treat this as training, or as a preparation before starting, first of all, let me introduce the two screenwriters of our crew, this is Professor Meng Xianshi of the National People's Congress, and he is also the main teacher of the next half month of training" After signing in, seeing that everyone is in order, * Ya clapped his hands and said unhurriedly, on both sides of him, each standing dressed up, Describe the middle-aged who looks completely withdrawn.

"Bang Bang Bang"

He pointed to the more plainly dressed middle-aged man on the right, and said, "This is no stranger to everyone, Teacher Cheng." ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

The gathering time was set for half past one in the afternoon, and Lu Yan felt that the arrangement was probably to have a meal together and get to know each other, but after listening to the brief introduction of *ya, he knew that the original customs had no soil for survival in the current crew.

When the applause rang out, the two of them bowed down to everyone one after another, among them, Professor Meng, who was wearing a suit and tie, also smiled, but none of the people below despised him because of his low height and slightly bloated figure, not to mention the name of the professor of the National People's Congress, just being placed in front of Ah Cheng is the biggest recognition, although Ah Cheng is not included in the four major series, but his name in the circle is also well-known, if there is no real thing in the stomach, he will be the first to stand up.

Lu Yan had never participated in such training before, as soon as he entered the venue, he was half stunned, there were no tables, chairs and benches in his imagination, and the small venue was neatly arranged with tatami mats that were only available in Japanese and Korean film and television, and he knelt for a while, awkward, and his legs were numb with such a little effort.

"Next, let's get to know each other" * Ameng Xianshi and Ah Cheng stepped aside, giving way to the high stage in front of them.

It stands to reason that Lu Yan, as the first male, should come first, but when he turned his head to see that most of the people in the venue were much older than him, the first one was a little rude.

Seeing that a group of people just looked left and right, but no one moved, * Yale said: "What, are you shy or what, let's do it, according to the seat, Lu Yan, you come first." ”

"Oh good"

Lu Yan nodded first, then leaned on the low table in front of him, stood up, but did not immediately go to the stage in front of him, and smiled: "Wait a minute, my legs are a little numb." ”

"Haha"

Many people smiled and cast understanding looks, and even because of their age, what was even more unbearable than him was that more than half of them had done their homework more or less before coming, and generally knew how to sit, even if they didn't notice it, they also learned the same.

"I am Lu Yan, Shuangkou Lu, who is trustworthy in my words, I play Li Shimin in "The Governance of Zhenguan", I am honored to have this opportunity to learn and cooperate with the seniors and teachers here, I hope that all teachers will take care of me in the next time, thank you"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"My name is Chen Shu, and I hope you teachers will take care of me."

"My name is Ge Zhijun...."

Although it is an introduction, it is not realistic to write it down completely, and it is probably taken into account when preparing, and there is a table card with a name printed on each table.

After the introduction, Meng Xianshi came to the stage and said: "After the introduction, everyone knows each other, to be honest, everyone here is a big name in the entertainment industry, and I am under a lot of pressure to teach everyone here, but I have a lot of pressure to take people's hands softly, and eat people's mouths, no matter how much pressure I have." ”

"Haha" Meng Xianshi said that there was pressure in his mouth, but he couldn't see the slightest nervousness in his tone or posture, he was probably used to such an occasion, and it seemed that he had long expected someone to laugh, so he paused deliberately: "First of all, I'll talk about the plan and arrangement of our training" So he said, and the slide behind him jumped a page: "The first part is etiquette, including walking, sitting and lying, the tone of speech, the words used, etc., etc., etc., which is expected to take about a week, and the second part is the system, This may be a bit general, for example, maybe in the previous film and television materials, most people's impression of the emperor and the courtiers and the courtiers and the people is generally groveling, but here I have to emphasize, in the Tang Dynasty, this is not, the scholar and the Son of Heaven rule the world together, this is the foundation, the third part is humanities, this part is more miscellaneous, but it is the most important, the real history is not speculation, and the information that the script can state is quite limited, I hope you will use more effort in this area, of course, If there are different understandings, they can be put forward, and as long as they are reasonable, we can discuss them. ”

After talking about the training arrangement, Meng Xianshi suddenly smiled and said: "Many people may be puzzled, training is training, why don't you even give a chair, this is what we have to learn in the first stage, etiquette, take Lu Yan as an example, your current sitting posture is not correct, if Li Shimin is about to do this, then don't do anything all day, just wait for a group of ministers to babble endlessly every day."

"Hahaha"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, but secretly slandered in his heart that if he knew everything and used it, he would come here to listen to your nonsense, he also understood why Meng Xianshi would make fun of himself, first of all, he has the highest seat and the most roles in the play, these things must not go wrong, and secondly, compared to a large group of old actors here, he is relatively young.

When the laughter was extinguished, Meng Xianshi continued: "In the Tang Dynasty, the economic situation was better, if you went to his house as a guest, entered the house, people invited you to sit, as soon as you entered the house, the first thing you saw was that there were several flat and low overhead square platforms on the blue brick floor, of course, the difference is that there will not be cushions like now, and the countertop should be covered with mats and mattresses, that is, the "couch" where you sit.

And if you go to visit the host, the family road is relatively cold, or itself advocates the ancient style, then you may not even sit on the couch, throw a few seats on the ground, then please, but don't worry, the feet are still wearing shoes, dirty people still have to wash it, so before sitting, you first take off your shoes, wear socks to the church, walk to the couch or seat, and then humble, kneel down, pay attention, is kneeling down, buttocks against their calves and ankles, sit upright, I will give you a demonstration, you also try. ”

After waiting for a squirming sound, Meng Xianshi sat down firmly in front of him, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

"Hahaha"

"It's uncomfortable, this kind of kneeling sitting, also called kneeling, is the most solemn and dignified sitting posture in the Tang Dynasty, you must sit like this on formal occasions or in front of the Venerable and the elderly, and the corresponding extension of a way of corporal punishment, such as Wei Zheng, bluntly admonished, famous ministers through the ages, on the stall of this kind of thing, in the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin got a harrier eagle, in his heart that called a like, just teased for a while, but it is not a coincidence, Wei Zheng came, afraid of people saying, so he quickly hid in his arms, but Wei Zheng had already seen it before he came, deliberately dragged on for a long time, but the harrier suffocated to death in Li Shimin's arms, and the things that had just arrived were deliberately destroyed, Li Shimin could be happy? No, a few days later, under the pretext of deliberations, Wei Zheng was pressed to sit for a few hours, hehe, how painful it is, I think everyone here now knows it. ”

Although some people laughed this time, there were fewer people laughing, and they sat upright, if they really sat down, it would be fine, but it was too painful to kneel like this, the back was straight, and the center of the whole body was pressed on the legs, not to mention a few hours, it was half an hour, and it was also torment.

Meng Xianshi also seemed to understand their distress, and said with a smile: "Of course, there are very few such situations, especially for the elderly, so there will be the next etiquette, and the politeness is over, and the host will generally propose that there is no formality or anything at this time, so you can change the sitting posture, of course, even if you change a more comfortable posture, you are also particular,"

Meng Xianshi pulled his legs out from under his body, coiled them in front of him, and said: "Everyone should also change, now this sitting posture is called Hu sitting or sitting, in the Tang Dynasty, this is a relatively comfortable posture, but there will be some other problems, some people can't cross their legs because of physical reasons or can't cross their legs under special circumstances, so what should I do?" ”

"There is also a way, the master will let people send you a "with a few" at this time, that is, this thing in my hand" He didn't know where to pull out a wooden object like a trick, a narrow plank on the top, two legs below, raised at the place where the eyebrows were high and shook at everyone, and said: "This is just a kind of a few, there are also semi-circular arcs, the next person will put this thing on your couch or seat, and then you should pay attention, moving here is not for sitting, like this, you lie forward, and your arms are resting up, The whole body weight is leaning on the table, which will be a little more comfortable than before, and of course, there are also cloth that can be leaned on, but it will not appear in a formal setting. ”

"In the early Tang Dynasty, in the inner room of the big family, in addition to the couch, bed, seat, there is a modern common sitting pier, at that time called sheng hoof, the material or porcelain or wood, barrel-shaped or crescent-shaped, it is the earliest appearance of high-legged seating, women at home usually sit on the couch, bed, mat, are cross-legged, only when using this kind of pouf, can hang down the legs, of course, if there are outsiders present, and then sit down, it is extremely uneducated performance."

He put aside the table again, got up, and said: "Tang people are the same as modern times, regardless of men, women and children, they all like to go outing, so when you go to the wild, you have to pay attention to your sitting posture, you have to pay attention to it, but the restrictions are not so strict..."
