Chapter 18: The Inn
The start time of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is January 17th, just 30 days before the Spring Festival.
This time slot is a bit awkward, especially when the invitation has those supporting characters!
I can't let them come over for filming during the New Year...
So, as much as possible, arrange it in the early stage.
As for the role of the protagonist, let's push it back!
At six o'clock in the afternoon, after filming the scenes of the four talents, Jiajia and Xiao Chu finished the film...
Then, Xiaobai looked at Liu Yifei's direction, thought about it, and walked over: "Yifei, I'll go back to the inn later, let's talk alone!" ”
“… Ah, okay! ”
Liu Yifei was a little panicked, but quickly stabilized himself and nodded in agreement...
A few staff members next to him were accustomed to it, and they didn't raise their heads and continued to pack up their equipment...
……
"Three Smiling Marriage", describes the story of Tang Bohu, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, who met the maid Qiu Xiang of Mrs. Hua Taishi in the West Chamber, and then launched a pursuit, and did not hesitate to sell himself to Hua Taishi to commit himself to the scholar, teaching Hua Taishi's two sons Shi Yu and Ruo Clumsy, Qiu Xiang laughed at him a total of three times, hence the name "Three Laughs"!
This is the origin of "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance"!
As early as the Jiajing or Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the notes of Xiang Yuanbian, a native of Jiaxing, "Banana Window Miscellaneous Records", contained the story of Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang.
A little later, Zhou Xuanwei's "Jinglin Miscellaneous" book about Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang is more detailed, basically forming the prototype of "three laughs".
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong took "Tang Jieyuan's Laughing Marriage" as the title, and compiled it into the widely circulated "Warning Words".
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were also miscellaneous dramas such as "A Smile Before Flowers" written by Meng Shunqing and "Flower Fangyuan" written by a single person, which were performed on the stage and made them enter thousands of households.
Therefore, the reason why the story of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is so popular is that the main prototype structure is complete!
Xiaobai felt that the original Gonghuang was not very good, mainly because he looked back and smiled, and the smile was not very vivid!
After Tang Ziwei was released, Yu Jinchang saw a painting boat, a pearl and a green seat, a girl inside, beautiful and charming, smiling and caring for herself. ’
The so-called laughing and caring for himself means to feel that he is smiling at himself.
This one is a laugh.
Of course, the three smiles depicted in the book refer to: one laugh captivates the city, two laughs captivates the country, and three laughs pour my heart!
Gonghuang's appearance back then was still very good, after all, he was able to resist Lin Qingxia and Zhang Min in Zhang Tan's "New Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Tong Grandma"!
But it's still a little bit far from the country and the city, especially the ancient costumes...
Why did you ask Gong Huang to star in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" at that time?
The most important thing is "Gambling Saint 2", the audience thinks that she is a good match with Xing Ye, that is, she has a sense of CP - what we see is the version of Fang Jiwei playing the heroine, because at that time, Taiwan did not allow movies with mainland actors to be released...
Let's talk about some secrets, you may not know, because of the existence of Gonghuang, the deleted version of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" was able to enter the domestic TV station, and this movie is a co-production!
There is investment in the Chinese system!
Mainland issuance is a negotiation between the Chinese-made companies and the provincial-level distribution companies themselves, which is different from the unified issuance of the whole country later.
How much money did you make?
It's hard to calculate, after all, it's all old, but there is information to check, Ning Boshi bought the film screening rights of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" alone, 196,000.
I can't really find out how much the box office is, but the total annual box office in Shanghai that year was 120 million, and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" ranked second - the first is "Farewell My Concubine"!
How popular was it back then?
The highest price for scalpers is 80 yuan, and 80 yuan in 1993 is almost a month's salary for ordinary workers, right?
Xiaobai is looking for Liu Yifei, to put it bluntly, it is her appearance!
It's just that this one looks back and smiles, and the acting is a little embarrassing...
Lao Liu looks good with a toothless smile, but Xiaobai wants to show six teeth, a hearty smile...
She can't be cheerful, and once she is, she shows her gums...
This is easy to solve, let's be subtle!
The key is the next scene, which must make her a little ghostly...
……
"Woo-ra!"
The fat beef roll was poured on the edge of the hot pot, and suddenly a small drop of water oozed out, and it was covered with white gas.
"Let's make do with it, the store said there is no dog meat!"
Xiaobai stretched out his chopsticks and stirred, picked out two green vegetables, and stuffed them into his mouth.
“… I don't eat dog meat! ”
Liu Yifei replied a little depressed.
"Then your life is not complete, I tell you, you have to eat dog meat in winter, this thing is rich in high protein, eating dog meat can enhance people's physique, improve digestion, promote blood circulation, improve sexual function... Ahem..."
Suddenly I feel that it's not very elegant to talk to the young lady about sexual function...
"Teacher Bai, you..."
"Call me Xiaobai in private!"
"Little... Shiro, what do you think of my acting skills? ”
“… It's good, well, the inner grasp is accurate, the emotions are in place, the dialogue is deeply understood, in short, it is good acting! ”
Xiaobai's answer is very official...
“…”
Lao Liu put down the stick and looked at him in a daze.
It's obviously perfunctory, everyone can see it!
"Okay, I'll be blunt, you don't have enough life experience, which leads to the lack of depth in your acting and can't support literary films!"
After taking a sip of juice, Xiaobai continued: "It doesn't matter, your looks surpass everything, I looked for you just because I liked your looks!" ”
This topic may hit my sister a little, Xiaobai changed the topic: "I see that you seem to be a little absent-minded these days, what's the situation?" ”
"There's no play for me..."
“… Without your play, you stay on the set to see how everyone acts, especially Sister Taohong, who won the Golden Rooster Movie at the age of 21, why are you doing art? ”
“…”
Do we know each other well?
Xiaobai knew that he was speechless, and continued to change the topic: "I came to you to ask you what you think of the character of Qiu Xiang?" ”
“… Caring, knowledgeable and grateful! ”
Lao Liu is also a professional actor no matter how he says, and he has done his homework.
"What else?"
"Huh?"
"You've finished reading the script, let me ask you, why did she ask Tang Bohu to punch at the end?"
"9527 broke the paper kite, why did I deliberately write Qiu Xiang and beat him together?"
"Tang Bohu broke into the boudoir at night, when he beat him, what kind of mentality should Qiu Xiang have?"
The three questions directly confused Lao Liu, and he didn't answer them for a long time.
Xiaobai couldn't help but remind: "Is it because Qiu Xiang has a trace of cunning in her bones?" ”
"Cunning?"
"Yes, it's eccentric, in a popular sense, it's called tsundere, tantrums, girlishness, according to the setting, Qiu Xiang's age is eighteen years old!"
“… Eighteen years old? ”
"Yes, you can imagine... Zhao Ling's performance method when he was a child, remember, you can't be crazy, I am looking for you in addition to your appearance, but mainly to let you suppress the temperament of the whole play, so that it will not be too noisy! ”
“… I'm not that good..."
Lao Liu was a little shy.
"It's okay, you just do as I say, add a little cunning, but don't go overboard, and leave the rest to me!"
