Chapter 192: Three Women, One Play

Theories are just theories, after all. In actual performance, no matter what kind of acting skills the actor is, it is unlikely that he or she will completely follow a certain theory. Most of them are based on rational analysis, gradually understanding the psychology and character of the character, and then they can perform characters that are close to the character.

In fact, under the star system, it is not easy to do this. But most of those who can do it are movie stars who have already become famous. Under the star system, many actors, both male and female, are actually just vases. is like the idol dramas of later generations, most of the time, there is no need for any acting skills. has a face and a figure, a scandal and a fame, and you can kill the hearts of teenagers who take appearance as their main aesthetic orientation.

As a result, although there are many stars in Hollywood, those who can go down in history, that is, those who have been selected as the greatest stars in the past century, a total of only 200 men and women. And among these two hundred people, there are only a few dozen people who can really let future generations remember their names. Others, after puberty, have long since disappeared from the crowd.

As for the sentence "You don't know how hard so-and-so works" commonly used by some brain-dead fans, it really can't arouse the sympathy of others. Acting, like other knowledge and skills, requires a long period of accumulation and precipitation, and it is completely impossible to jump out of the "10,000-hour rule". More than half of the popular dramas in later generations do not look at faces, such as "Bright Sword", such as the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

A group of old drama bones are playing together, which is the thing that makes real fans happy. As for the matter of appearance, it is easy to obtain in the later generations of "not seeking to be born in the same year, same month and same day, but seeking the same type, same face and same doctor". Idol dramas can see faces, and love action movies can also watch murderous...... On the basis of the same efforts, time precipitation is definitely an important factor in determining an actor's acting skills.

And, both Betty Davis. is still Joan Crawford, who can be regarded as actors with these precipitations. They themselves are strong women's personalities, and they are somewhat similar to the character essence of Rosie in "War Horse", and both of them have reached the point where they are familiar with acting skills. Although the two people are-for-tat in reality, judging from the two scenes just played, they actually have the same charm. Like a sister flower.

When the rest of my life was addicted, I also had some difficulties. In other words, how do you choose this?

If so, the difference between the acting skills of these two people is too big. There is always something to talk about. But the acting skills of these two people are similar. No matter who you choose, you will offend the other!

When Yu Sheng was in trouble, the door of the room rang again, and Yu Sheng said, "Come in!" ”

Although the clerk who came in was still the clerk just now, the clerk didn't care about his boss's mood at all, nodded and let the person behind him enter the door. is like a little eunuch serving the Queen Mother Lafayette, who is extremely shameless. Then, when he saw Qing Xiaoyi for the rest of his life, Shi Shiran walked into the room.

Of course, Qing Xiaoyi didn't interrupt the rest of her life's work for no reason. Generally speaking. For the rest of her life, she would stay quiet. Take care of the rest of your life's food, clothing, housing and transportation, all kinds of trivial life, or your own affairs. For Qing Xiaoyi, who was deeply poisoned by the traditional education of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Three obedience and four virtues are the moral code she pursues.

However, a woman is still a woman after all. Qing Xiaoyi has been in charge of the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant for such a long time, and there are countless canteen aunts and little girls who serve dishes that she has personally recruited. Even she herself couldn't remember how many there were. For Qing Xiaoyi, recruit these people in. It's just a matter of facts, and it's just a matter of recruiting people to work. There was no idea of retribution.

However, for these cafeteria aunts and little girls serving dishes. The meaning is very different. In the United States today, although the shadow of the economic crisis has basically passed, mass unemployment still exists. Especially for women.

In recent history, women have been truly independent of men, thanks to two world wars. In these two world wars, men died in large numbers. There is a shortage of labor in society, and in order to maintain the normal functioning of society, women have to start doing some jobs that should be done by men. And at the same time, ordinary women really have their own property rights, and men are dead anyway. It can't be cheap for outsiders!

Moreover, this social state continued until more than a decade after the war, when a new generation of men grew up, and it came to an end. However, a social climate of equality between men and women has been formed and can no longer be changed. It was also at this time that feminism flourished in Europe.

However, this is in Europe. In the United States, which was known for its openness in later generations, it was still considered immodest for women to wear pants at this time. In Hollywood, only Katharine Hepburn has the heart and status to be unconcerned about other people's words and visions.

At this time, most Americans were men who earned money to support their families, and women were full-time wives. Occasionally, those who come out to work are just idle clerical jobs, or simply do odd jobs on their own farms. Of course, most of the people who can come out to work are well-educated white women.

Although the Chinese Exclusion Act has been repealed in the United States, the social concept and social atmosphere that have been formed for a long time cannot be reversed for a while, and few people will hire Chinese women. Not to mention, most Chinese women have little education at all in the traditional Chinese concept of patriarchy. Some people don't even know the words.

In this way, a man has to provide for the food and clothing of the whole family when he earns money. With the exception of a few people, most families have a hard time. There is only one Chinese restaurant that is willing to hire Chinese women, regardless of their education. With this job, many families will have an extra income, and life will be significantly better. Qing Xiaoyi, who personally recruited these canteen aunts and little girls serving dishes, naturally became a Buddha of ten thousand families.

And the Chinese are the easiest group of people to get together. Although Qing Xiaoyi has no intention of giving grace to repay the favor, these canteen aunts and the little girl serving the plate are closely united around Qing Xiaoyi intentionally or unintentionally, but the proprietress is from her. And women's nature determines that some news and gossip will inevitably spread quickly. Therefore, Qing Xiaoyi inadvertently built an intelligence network with the canteen aunt and the little girl serving the plate as the main members. Moreover, the efficiency of this network in collecting and disseminating intelligence was so high that Qing Xiaoyi was unexpected.

Today, Marilyn Monroe gave the rest of her life a hot kiss in public. It is impossible to expect onlookers to keep secrets, even if they are their bosses for the rest of their lives. But it only took less than an hour for it to reach Qing Xiaoyi's ears, which was still unexpected.

And after Qing Xiaoyi found a photo of Huang Zongzhan coming to Marilyn Monroe after makeup. For the first time in my life, I had an inexplicable jealousy and worry, and this feeling, in China, is collectively called jealousy!

Qing Xiaoyi knows very well that the rest of her life is not a person who can't pull her legs when she sees a woman, and she is quite restrained. There were countless goblins dressed up on the beach back then, and I didn't see the rest of my life sinking into the sand. Even in the United States, when you meet a beautiful girl in a social situation for the rest of your life, you will not use the excuse to hug a bear. At best, it's just a polite handshake and greeting. Therefore, Qing Xiaoyi did not have the experience of dealing with what her man might do with other women.

For Qing Xiaoyi, in fact, there is quite a contradiction in her heart. In traditional Chinese culture, the emphasis on three obedience and four virtues is not to defeat the little three. According to the traditional education of Chinese women, jealousy is wrong. As a housewife, the most important thing to do is to accept all kinds of beautiful little girls that her husband brings back every once in a while, just like going to the street to buy vegetables. If you can take the initiative to go to the street to buy a few little girls of different styles and colors for your husband, and stuff them into your husband's bed. is an excellent housewife.

Moreover, at this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had only been in China for decades. With the exception of a few places, there was no change in thought at all. among the major warlords and bureaucrats. There are a few little wives, which is really a normal thing. Although Qing Xiaoyi's father can be regarded as clean and self-conscious, he never goes to Fireworks Willow Lane, but in addition to Qing Xiaoyi's mother, he is at home. There is also a big girl who has served her since she was a child. was called "aunt" by Qing Xiaoyi and Ye Wuguang.

Therefore, according to the moral standards pursued by Qing Xiaoyi, he was kissed by chance for the rest of his life. It's really not the fault of Yu Daguan. Of course, if this idea of hers is put in later generations, it will definitely be scorned by the women of later generations and called "Our Lady". And for the rest of his life, he was a hopelessly straight man with advanced cancer......

However, no matter how morally speaking, Qing Xiaoyi just feels jealous. When she heard that Yu Sheng was choosing actors for the roles in several movies non-stop, Qing Xiaoyi couldn't help but rush to take a look. When Heidi Lamarr's photo was also sent to Qing Xiaoyi, she came faster. Of course, rushing here is not to smash the field.

As a little woman with deep roots, she just wanted to come and see and see......

And as the two strong women who participated in the charity gala for the rest of their lives, Betty Davis and Joan Crawford, knew that the main owner was coming the moment Qing Xiaoyi entered the door. Although this little oriental girl was smiling and polite, the intuition between the women made them smell a strong sourness.

And Qing Xiaoyi saw that these two people were in the room for the rest of her life, but she was relieved. As the pillow person of Yu Daguan, she naturally knows Yu Daguan's preferences. This is a pure and honest male cancer who has never liked women older than him. It looks like it's just an ordinary job interview.

However, as a woman, Qing Xiaoyi soon discovered the strangeness of Joan Crawford, this sister is vacuum! So, just a polite response, and talked and laughed with Betty Davis. And the woman's social talent made Betty Davis quickly understand the reason for the matter. The refreshing feeling of crushing her old enemy made her smile extra sweet.

Joan Crawford was left to dry for only a minute before he realized his mistake. I thought that the Qingyu Chinese restaurant was in charge for the rest of my life, who knew that a proprietress would come out halfway! Back then, she killed Meyer and other bigwigs in seconds, and when she met the boss lady, she could only sink into the sand. So, this Hollywood actress with super high emotional intelligence consciously withdrew from the competition and left.

At this time, the topic of Qing Xiaoyi and Betty Davis has extended to Rodeo Avenue this year, which style of new products in a famous store is better-looking......

Yu Sheng sighed helplessly, and Qing Xiaoyi glanced at him timidly, for fear that Yu Sheng would be angry because of this. And Yu Sheng said to Qing Xiaoyi: "You guys talk first, and if you want to go shopping, go shopping together." I'm going to see someone more in the afternoon! ”

"Hmm...... Well? ”

"It's a man, bad old man, almost seventy!"

"Oh......" Then Qing Xiaoyi returned to her cute and well-behaved form.

The person he was going to meet for the rest of his life was not improvised, but when he was planning how to make his films known, he had an idea and asked Albert to help make an appointment. Originally, the rest of his life planned to go home and rest for a few hours after meeting Hedy Lamarr before visiting this person. In the middle, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford broke up, and the break was invalid.

The one he will visit for the rest of his life is named David Griffith. As long as you have gone through the history of film, you should have an impression of this person. Because no matter which version of film history, almost every person must take out more than a dozen pages dedicated to his life experience and analysis of his classic works.

David Griffith. Born in 1875. He is one of the founders of Hollywood. When this man made the movie, Hollywood had not yet been born. American films, on the other hand, are still in a chaotic period that has not suffered from Hollywood domination. David Griffith's original ambition was not to be a director, and when he entered the theater in 1897, even the definition of the position of director in the film industry was vague.

When David Griffith joined Edison's company in 1898, he applied for a position as a screenwriter. The company's arrangement for him was to be an actor with little role in a film called "RescuedfromanEagle\'sNest". This upset David Griffith.

Subsequently, David Griffith signed with Biograph as a film actor. The reason for signing the contract is simple, due to the downturn in Biograph's business at this time, Biograph took the initiative to ask Griffith to be the director. The position was not Griffith's dream screenwriter though. However, the director himself has the power to adjust the script. This made Griffith very happy. His first film, The Adventures of Dolly, was released in 1908.

As a literary young man who loves Dickens's novels, Griffith naturally has a heart independent of the commercial operation of films. Not only are he making films that can be sold for money, but he is also pursuing a narrative technique that is unique to him and that is different from the theatrical stage at this time.
