Chapter 64: Singing Peking Opera (Saturday's Second Shift!) )

Subtitle of this chapter: Is plagiarism really that easy?

“Chinese-opera?” Mr. Louis-Baker asked with interest, "Do you have opera in China?" ”

As a leftist, Sherlock Holmes naturally has sympathy and curiosity for all "backward peoples", and in later generations, he is likely to leave his studies behind his studies and go to sub-Saharan Africa to get mosquito nets. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Hearing about the "backward peoples" of the Far East and opera naturally stimulated his curiosity.

"Of course, we Seris people have our own opera art. This is a long story, you should not know, in fact, we Cyris had a ...... of Wu (Yinno) 5,000 years ago."

Foreigners, whether it is a hundred years of money or a hundred years later, they all like that kind of exotic Dongdong. "Chinese opera" naturally aroused great interest among those foreigners. At first, there were only two listeners around him, a man and a woman, and Mr. Griffith naturally devoted himself to the script of "Chocolate of Love", and then the guests in this side hall saw the excitement of our Master Yuan, and gradually came together.

"Seniority" was ready to be a Chinese cultural ambassador, so he began to spit lotus flowers, starting from 5,000 years ago all the way to the Hui class into Beijing...... At this time, he forgot his identity as a disciple of Hongmen.

There were more and more onlookers, and Yuan Yanqian became more and more excited the more she spoke, seeing so many people surrounding her, the attribute of others going crazy attacked again, and she also sang a paragraph on the spot.

It's a pity that he can sing too few Peking Opera segments, and most of them are "my cousin can't count", "Willing to write Spring and Autumn with blood", "This woman is unusual", "The north wind blows"...... This kind of eight model plays that are not within the scope of the system.

Therefore, Zhao Zilong, the dignified general of the Five Tigers, did not sing "Changban Slope", but came to a passage of Zhuge Kongming's "Empty City Plan", that is, "I stood in the city tower and watched the mountain scenery, and I heard the chaos outside the city ...... one after another". Although in fact, they all went to Nantianmen, but it was enough to fool those foreigners.

After seeing such a strange (gu) wonderful performance, everyone present was immediately full of interest and surrounded Yuan Yanqian to ask questions. And our Master Yuan is drunk, and the crazy nature of people has become even worse.

What "Yutang Chun" is the Chinese version of "The Lady of the Camellias" (are they all about female branch girls), what "Ganlu Temple" is the Chinese version of "The Wedding of Figaro" (are they all about weddings), what "Farewell My Concubine" is the Chinese version of "Othello" (all about how a pair of dogs and men died), what "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" is the Chinese version of "The Ring of the Nibelungen" (all say that the Heavenly Palace collapsed)......

Our Master Yuan was talking and singing for half an hour, and he was really tired, so he had to stop this performance.

So he laid the groundwork for a grand event in the Chinese Peking Opera industry......

When the crowd dispersed, Cleopatra came up and said, "Tired, you're so tired." Sit down, look at your sweat, I'll wipe it for you. ”

"Lillian, thank you so much." Enjoying the service of the beauty half-leaning on his arms, Yuan Yan swallowed hard and said, "Oh, it's too stuffy here, let's change places to breathe." ”

Miss Ji Xu nodded a little shyly and said, "Tired, your suggestion is really ......."

"It's amazing!" Director Griffith jumped up excitedly, waved the script in his hand and shouted, "This script is amazing!" ”

Nonsense, can it not be awesome?

The original novel of "Chocolate Love" was written by the famous British female writer Joanne-Harris, and it was a huge success after its publication, immediately reaching the top of the Sunday Times bestseller list in the United Kingdom.

The script of the film was also written by the female author herself. Twice Oscar nominated Swedish director Lesser? The film is directed by Halsstrom, who also has two other well-known films, "A Different Sky" and "The Cider House Rule". And the male and female protagonists are respectively "Captain Jack" Johnny, the most box office appeal actor in Hollywood? Depp and the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress Juliet? Binoche served.

The 2000 film earned Jonie Harris an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay and the British Film and Television Arts Award for Best Screenplay.

Of course, our Master Yuan really didn't take this novel and movie too seriously, please, he didn't even get the Oscar for Best Screenplay that year, what is there to say.

In order to respond to this era and the political correctness of this era, Yuan Yanqian changed the time and advanced the time of the story to after the First World War, so that the heroine became a war widow, so that her status as a single mother was more accepted by people in the 1920s. He also changed the male protagonist and is no longer the gypsy in the original book. The gypsy was the lead actor, and he had to spray the American and European people like a dog, so he changed it to an American officer who was traumatized by the war and therefore wandered in France instead of returning home.

And he changed it like this, which actually made the work have a bit of humanistic care and anti-war color.

The traverser doesn't care much, and the works that he changes casually are already amazing in the eyes of David Griffith!

He said excitedly: "Neo, no, Mr. Yuan, can you hand over this script to me to shoot?" I promise......"

Damn, I'm going to "breathe"!! Who cares about the script???

But no matter if it's really not good, this is also bought for B coins, and it can't be wasted.

"David, don't be in a hurry. Since I showed it to you, I will naturally give it to you to shoot. But......" Yuan Yanqian interrupted him with a raised hand, "didn't you notice that there is a big flaw in my script?" ”

"Defects?! Nope...... This script doesn't have ...... Looks like there's a flaw! The big director was about to refute, but he was stunned. He thought about it for a while, and finally understood.

Our Master Yuan said lightly: "You have also discovered it, there is a fatal flaw in my script, that is, ......"

"Nonsense...... Well, too much conversation. ”

Griffith thought of something, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Could it be ......?"

Yuan Yanqian nodded and said, "You guessed it, this script is the script of a sound movie." I even had a storyboard with a soundtrack in my head. ”

In fact, there are really not many dialogues in this script, but now is the era of silent films, and the scripts of sound movies certainly seem to have too many actors' lines. In the future, could a pure dialogue film like "This Man Comes from a Cave (Note 1)" be made in 1920? The director just lets the audience sit in the movie and watch the dialogue?

…………………………

Note 1: The earth in The-Man-from-Earth should be turned into a cave, and the male protagonist is a prehistoric caveman, and I don't know who turned into the earth. In this way, the name is inexplicable, is the protagonist not an earthling, or an alien?
