Chapter 242: The Birds That Flew Out of the Cage

Lin Xiaoling sent a telegram back from the United States, reporting her safety to her family.

In an era when there was no Internet and transatlantic telephones, the telegraph was the fastest way to transmit information between two countries.

In the telegram, she expressed the excitement of being in a foreign land for the first time.

Although there are many Westerners in Shanghai's concession, and she is often exposed to Westerners and Western lifestyles in high society and girls' schools, she is not as novel and shocking as going to a strange world.

Especially in this period of the Republic of China, when information was not developed, the West could only be learned through newspapers, magazines and movies from the West.

In later generations, it is not unusual for Chinese to often see the United States on TV news.

Moreover, in the news, there is either a disaster here in the United States, or there is a shooting there, and black people will be beaten by the police, and it always feels that the American people are living in dire straits, which deserves sympathy.

Lin Xiaoling set foot on American soil from New York and contacted Peterson lawyers.

She was going to spend some time in New York and then think about which university to go to, and Philadelphia felt a little smaller than a metropolis like New York.

Well, she changed her mind again.

As a self-financed international student, you are relatively free to enroll, and there are no restrictions on colleges and majors.

Because the Shanghai Chinese and Western Girls' School was founded by the American Church, many universities in the United States recognize the results and diplomas of the Chinese and Western Girls' Schools, and the teaching quality of the Chinese and Western Girls' Schools is second to none in China.

In 1914, China recruited 10 female students at official expense, and Chinese and Western girls' schools accounted for 6 places.

As long as Lin Xiaoling can pass the entrance exam for American universities, she can enter the university. Even if you don't pass the entrance exam, you can study at school as an auditor. Wait until the next year to take the exam.

Lin Xiaoling is very open-minded and has no pressure.

Lin Zixuan was quite pleased with this. replied with a telegram, telling her sister to be careful, she had already explained what she should have explained, and she had to go the rest of the way by herself.

It's like a bird that has flown out of a birdcage and is about to spread its wings and fly.

One bird is out of the cage and the other is still in the cage.

He found that with the filming of the movie "Killer Li Ang", Ruan Lingyu became more and more attached to him, and always followed him, I don't know if it was because he was too deep in the play.

This sentiment is good for filmmaking. Ruan Lingyu can always get into the state quickly.

Her performance is very natural, completely integrated into the role, and her performance is almost perfect, and many times it is impossible to tell whether she is Ruan Lingyu or Martina.

Hong Shen was full of praise for her and thought that Ruan Lingyu was a natural actor.

This kind of acting skill that can be mastered without systematic learning is rare even in the United States, and only happens to talented actors.

At this time, the theatrical performance skills were not very mature, and they were divided into expressionist and experiential schools.

Ruan Lingyu's performance style should belong to the later methodological school.

Methodism refers to the way in which the actor fully integrates into the role, creating the character and life of the character in addition to the actor's own personality. Make sure to play the role realistically.

It was a form of performance promoted by the Soviet dramatist Stanislavsky.

He wrote a book on drama theory that is very familiar to Chinese, called "Actor's Self-cultivation".

He once said: "There are no small roles, only small actors." ”

In order to shoot this movie, Lin Zixuan gave Ruan Lingyu a two-month vacation. Judging from the current progress, the shooting should be completed, and the main problem lies with Lin Zixuan.

Although this killer is a facial paralysis. There is no need for too complicated facial expressions, but because the opponent's performance is too exciting. As a result, Lin Zixuan was suppressed, and the whole performance was too dull.

Defeated by a fourteen-year-old girl. It's a sad story.

Hong Shen had no choice but to comfort Lin Zixuan, this kind of genius actor can be met but not sought, if you touch it, you are unlucky.

Lin Zixuan can only accept this reality, it's not that I'm too weak, but that the opponent is too strong.

He decided to make a movie with children under the age of ten next time, and he didn't believe that he would be suppressed.

It's just that, thinking about it, Erchun, the bear child, who participated in many movies at the age of nine, won unanimous praise from the audience, became popular all over the beach, and was known as China's Jackie Kugan, he has no self-confidence.

Thinking so crankily, Lin Zixuan remembered a movie played by a group of children, which is very famous in the West.

The movie is called "The Sound of Music", which tells the story of the young midship-apprentice nun Maria who goes to the home of retired Navy Colonel Trapp to work as a governess, and uses childlike innocence to childlike innocence, so that the children can fully cultivate their temperament in the beauty of nature, and the colonel is also infected by her, and finally falls in love.

This movie is more suitable for entering the European and American markets, and many of its songs are popular and will definitely be popular in Europe and the United States.

Lin Zixuan's next film is an adaptation of "The Sound of Music".

At the end of August, Xu Zhimo wrote a letter to Lin Zixuan.

The members of the Crescent Moon Society and Hu Shi and his gang planned to start a comprehensive magazine covering politics, economics, law, philosophy, science, education, literature and art, with essays as the main focus.

The magazine of the Crescent Moon was more focused on poetry, and this magazine was more on politics and literary criticism.

The magazine advocates freedom of speech and has a Western liberal overtone, and most of the participants have studied in Europe and the United States.

It turned out that the magazine in which they published their reviews was called The Pacific.

Founded in March 1917, Pacific magazine is a monthly issue with a focus on politics and literature and art.

Most of its members are students studying in the UK, and it is a group with strong Western bourgeois political ideas.

Now that "Pacific" could no longer run, these people were ready to join forces with Yu Dafu of the Creation Society to create a journal that combined politics and literature and art.

In Peiping, the Anglo-American faction and the Japanese faction finally joined forces, and this journal became the Modern Review.

The story is complicated, and it is the result of many people matchmaking, and Xu Zhimo is one of them.

In the letter, he also mentioned Ling Shuhua and recommended Ling Shuhua's article for publication in New Moon magazine.

When Lin Zixuan was in Beiping, he met this talented woman from Yenching University, who was versatile, good at painting, and had a rather prominent background.

Zhou Zuoren was her literary mentor, Lu Xun wrote the preface to her novel, and she also entertained Tagore in her family's mansion, which is definitely a celebrity in Beiping.

However, there is a Lin Huiyin in Beiping, and there will be no other celebrities coming out.

During Tagore's stay in Beiping, the "Morning Post" published an article lamenting that "a thousand daughters are beautiful, and Ms. Lin is only one person who deals with Tai's".

Ling Shuhua was extremely dissatisfied with this, so she wrote an article to refute: "Miss Lin is indeed not the only one who is involved in the relationship between Chinese women and Tai's, but it is unknown whether she is 'beautiful' or not. But because they are not 'beauty', can they even be disqualified as women? ”

Although the words are sharp, it is inevitable that there is a sense of sourness, which shows how much pressure Lin Huiyin has caused on other women in Beiping.

The war between her and Lin Huiyin, a woman, lasted for more than ten years, and the key figure was Xu Zhimo.

Soon after Lin Huiyin left Beiping, Xu Zhimo and Ling Shuhua developed a close literary friendship. (To be continued.) )
