Chapter 164: A Unique "Wine Order"
That night, after all the people who participated in the reception banquet arrived, Xu Zhen simply looked around and found that compared to the bright stars on the Shu Han side, the cast on the Jiangdong side was quite simple.
Sun Quan's actor Gao Bo and Lu Su's actor Huo Da are all seniors who graduated from their Chinese opera.
Now Gao Bo is mainly active in the drama circle, while Huo Da mainly starred in period dramas and war dramas, all of which are not famous.
The rest of the actors, such as Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other civil officials, as well as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other military attachΓ©s, are mainly drama actors, supplemented by drama actors in the film and television industry.
As a student of Chinese opera, Xu Zhen is naturally familiar with the names of these people; But for ordinary audiences, these actors are somewhat "unknown".
However, there are also benefits to being nameless.
That is, Xu Zhen is mixed with these people, and there is not so much pressure.
People can talk to you if they want to, and if they don't want to talk to you, they won't be coy, and they won't be embarrassed and smiling because of the ubiquitous entertainment reporters.
Acting is just a job for these people, not a constraint.
Interestingly, Sun Quan is the boss of Jiangdong, and if these people are feasting and drinking in the play, he will inevitably sit in the lead.
But Gao Bo, the actor of Sun Quan, is a young man in his early twenties, he eats with these seniors, how dare he hold up, and obediently find a small table by the door and sit down.
When he saw Xu Zhen coming, he patted the worse position next to him and shouted, "Gong Jin, come, take a seat!" β
It made everyone present laugh.
So, the lord of Jiangdong and the governor of Jiangdong sat down on the "vegetable road" in this way, and honestly watched a group of civil ministers and military generals under him guide the country during the banquet, and their attitude was very correct.
Soon, everyone divided into several circles because of each other's age and background, and they started talking.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the banquet gradually warmed up.
While chatting, some people proposed to have a "drinking order" to help the fun, and those who lost were punished for drinking, and all the people present agreed with this proposal.
Xu Zhen originally thought that the so-called "wine order" could not be like the ancients chanted poems against each other, probably counting numbers, rolling dice, and at most playing idiom solitaire.
I didn't expect it......
This group of drama spirits, the final duel method is actually to memorize lines.
- Director Chu Xiaoxiong extracts a clip, and the actors involved recite the lines in turn, and whoever can't memorize it or memorizes it incorrectly will be punished with a glass of wine.
If five times in a row are good, then Chu Xiaoxiong will punish himself.
Xu Zhen really didn't expect that such a frenzied gameplay would be approved by quite a few people.
Although there were a few people who wailed, saying that it was better to be punished for drinking, at least more than a third of them showed a look of victory and were willing to participate.
Gao Bo on the side looked at Xu Zhen with a surprised face, and joked: "Why, you haven't memorized your lines?" β
Xu Zhen turned his head to look at him, opened his mouth, and before he could answer, he saw Gao Bo patting his thigh and laughing: "Director, I'll report it!" β
"There's a guy here who doesn't memorize the lines!"
Xu Zhen flatly denied it: "No, I carried it." β
"Hahaha......" Due to the wrong timing, his words did not look like an excuse, but more like singing an empty city plan, which immediately caused a burst of evil laughter from the people around him.
Chu Xiaoxiong knew that Xu Zhen was honest, and he said that he had carried it, so it must have been really carried out.
He looked at Xu Zhen and saw that there was no panic in the other party's eyes, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then let's start with Gongjin tonight." β
As he spoke, Chu Xiaoxiong took out a tablet from his hand, flipped through it quickly, and quickly found the paragraph he wanted, and said: "Let's start from the eve of the Battle of Chibi, when the Wenchen and military generals from Jiangdong came to Zhou Yu's mansion to explore the wind here." β
When Xu Zhen heard this, he smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement.
He roughly recalled the background of the episode:
Cao Cao's army pressed the border, and Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong alone, advocating an alliance between Sun and Liu to resist Cao's army.
But Sun Quan's attitude was uncertain, and he didn't know whether to fight or surrender.
Everyone in Jiangdong knew that Sun Quan valued Zhou Yu, so before Zhou Yu met Sun Quan, a group of civil servants and military generals went to Zhou Yu's mansion at night to state their claims, hoping that he would consider them.
But Zhou Yu's guy saw people talking about people, talking about ghosts, and fooled these people away in a few words.
This plot is also the place where Zhou Yu's character is first shown in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
ββGentle and elegant in attitude, no one in his bones.
The actor who played Zhang Zhao was the first to speak: "Director Chu, since this is this paragraph, let me say it first?" β
Chu Xiaoxiong nodded and said with a smile: "You start." β
Zhang Zhao then sat up straight and turned his head to look at Xu Zhen, who was sitting by the door.
The banquet hall, which had been a little noisy, suddenly fell silent.
Zhang Zhao said: "Does the governor know the interests and disadvantages of Jiangdong now? β
Xu Zhen shook his head according to Zhou Yu's lines and said, "I don't know." β
Zhang Zhao said: "Cao Cao has millions of troops and is stationed on the river. Yesterday, the text came to this point, and I want to invite the main guild to hunt in Jiangxia. Although it has the meaning of swallowing, it has not yet revealed its shape. We advise the lord to surrender for the time being, so as to avoid the disaster of Jiangdong. β
"Unexpectedly, Lu Zijing brought back Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang from Jiangxia......"
As soon as the actor who played Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, it was a dialogue of more than 100 words, which was quite awkward.
However, to Xu Zhen's surprise, this senior not only memorized the content of the lines word for word, but even handled the tone of the tone quite exquisitely, and it was almost directly used for filming.
As soon as he finished reading these words, a voice of heartfelt admiration immediately sounded around him.
Seeing this, Xu Zhen also tried to mobilize his emotions and carefully recited Zhou Yu's lines: "I also want to stay for a long time." Please go back, see the lord tomorrow morning, and have your own decision. β
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zhuge Jin, Lu Meng and others took turns to step forward and clarify their claims.
These people are not as powerful as Zhang Zhao's lines, but they have all memorized the content.
Cheng Pu and Zhuge Jin each said a few wrong words and were punished with a glass of wine;
Xu Zhen retold Zhou Yu's lines in their original form and was exempted from punishment.
Soon, this lengthy drama ended, and the effect was quite ideal.
Chu Xiaoxiong then drew another paragraph, and Sun Quan, Lu Su and others went down one after another, each with their own winners and losers.
After a few rounds, everyone present read at least one round of lines, some people were in the limelight, and some people drank several glasses of wine with a bitter face.
Xu Zhen sat aside and listened quietly, these people's line skills were high and low, and the proficiency of recitation was also high.
Some people memorize fluently and smoothly, while others stumble over their backs.
But it can be seen that before coming here, basically everyone took the trouble to memorize the lines, at least they all had a general understanding of the content.
The two actors who play Lu Su and Zhang Zhao are among the best.
In a blink of an eye, the drinking order went on for nearly half an hour, but the two of them always memorized a good word.
Just as the two actors were facing off one-on-one, there was a knock on the door of the banquet hall.
Xu Zhen, who was closest to the door, stepped forward to open the door to take a look, but saw two acquaintances standing outside the door.
- Gao Jin, the chief director of the "Three Kingdoms" crew, and Zhuge Liang's actor, Chen Zhenghao!
Seeing these two people coming, everyone in the room who was playing happily suddenly fell silent.
"Yo, what are you guys doing here?" Gao Zhen glanced at everyone with a smile, glanced at the messy cups and plates in the field, and said, "I heard you guys playing from afar just now, this is what it means who loses and who drinks?" β
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Chen Zhenghao on the side and said, "Coincidentally, Zhuge Kongming is here!" β
Gao Zhen laughed and said, "It's just the tongue fighting the group of Confucians!" β
