Chapter 86 The daily life of the crew: saving the life of the world
In places like the crew, cases of supernatural events are not unusual, especially when filming some costume dramas or when the set is in a relatively remote place, but anyone who has been in the crew for a long time can meet it once or twice, which is also one of the reasons why China's film and television crews will routinely hold traditional sacrifices such as worshipping Guan Gong and worshipping the God of Wealth before starting the film.
However, it is not necessarily a bad thing for this to happen, because there has always been such a saying in this circle that the crew that has a supernatural event will definitely become popular after the film is launched!
Regardless of whether there is any basis for this statement, at least it calms people's hearts, and the effect of self-deception is full, especially after this incident, the crew not only did not cast a shadow, but the filming went more smoothly.
It is worth mentioning that Cai Cianming became the person who benefited the most in this incident, he was the first to find out that the situation was not right, and informed He Tianran, because he himself knew some feng shui numerology, so the nickname "Cai Banxian" began to spread, and when others called him "Cai Ye", this guy promised a lot more confidence.
Obviously, the saying "frustrated in love, proud in the workplace" is very suitable for him now, and this animal seems to be really capable, the last time Gu Qiaoman went to Hefu, the opinion on feng shui that he inadvertently said came from Cai Cassia Ming.
During the lunch break of one day's shooting, several people chatted on the set, and He Tianran had nothing to do, so he asked curiously:
"Lao Cai, you are so capable, Wen Liang had bad luck a few years ago, as her friend, why didn't you come out to give advice?"
At that time, Cai Cianming had just finished packing up the equipment, and after receiving the meal, he squatted by the stove of the crew to keep warm, he was holding a bowl of hot dry noodles in his hand, and there were still a few brown sugar steamed buns and nests on the side, the hot air coming out of the bowl was mixed with the white gas spewed out of his mouth and nose because of the cold in winter, and there was a rustling sound in his mouth, which made people very appetizing just by looking at it.
"Fingering?"
After hearing this question, he slurred a sound in his mouth, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he thought, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, and took another sip of noodles, and when he finished swallowing, he blew his nose before saying:
"I don't do enough, and sooner or later I will harm others and myself."
He Tianran suddenly thought of his past with Gu Qiaoman, thinking of the current woman's fire, coupled with Cai Cianming's reaction and ability, it is difficult not to think about "metaphysics".
He comforted: "I think that if I can gain insight into some laws of natural operation, and then help some good people to avoid evil and eliminate disasters, it should be regarded as accumulating merit." β
"But the human heart and human nature these things, change faster than any natural law, this is actually all numerology horoscope, the most difficult variable to solve, you know that this person's luck is like this, but there is no way to know what kind of person he will become if he responds to this luck, which is why I said that I can't go home."
Cai Cianming put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at He Tianran, and continued:
"Director He, do you believe this?"
He Tianran, who was sitting in the director's chair, thought about it.
"How to say, I generally maintain a cautious and awe-inspiring attitude towards things I don't understand, and I can't say whether I believe it or not, but I agree with the words 'three points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work'."
Cai Cianming nodded, seeing that the other party had such an attitude, he thought for a moment and confided:
"Actually, I have carefully looked at Sister Liang's face a few times, and I ...... By the way, I remember that Sister Liang played Xue Baochai in "Dream of Red Mansions" when she was a child, right? β
Hearing this headless and brainless, He Tianran replied:
"That's right, she should be eight or nine years old...... was still acting when she was eleven or twelve years old, this is the first line of her representative works in her actor resume, and it should be her first time acting at that time, why did she suddenly mention this? β
"Just chatting nonsense, there is one thing to say, Sister Liang does look like Xue Baochai's feeling of wealth and compulsion, but as far as she is concerned, Director He, you are the director, if you come to casting, do you think her character is more like who in "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
Hearing this, He naturally fell into deep thought, Cai Cianming took a bite of the steamed bun, and did not urge, waiting silently.
"Character? If that's the reason for that...... I think...... I'd think she's a little more like Qingwen. β
"How?"
He Tianran commented: "People who like her will think that she is innocent and straightforward; Those who don't like it will think she is aggressive and arrogant. No, you just continue to say according to your face just now, what are you doing with "Dream of Red Mansions"? β
Cai Cianming said with a smile: ""Dream of Red Mansions" is a strange book, okay, all women in the world can sit in the right seat and find similar or composite prototypes, let me ask you, what is Qingwen's judgment in the book? β
"Yo, if you ask me that, I won't be able to remember it for a while, and I'm not a red scientist."
He Tianran felt a little embarrassed, and was about to think about it, when a human voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"The moon is rare, and the clouds are easy to disperse.
The heart is higher than the sky, and the body is low.
Merry and clever attract resentment.
Shou Yao is mostly born because of slander, and the amorous son is empty. β
I saw a person holding a plate in his hand, on which was a plate of egg fried rice, a bowl of seaweed soup, and a big chicken leg mixed with rice.
Needless to say, this person is Hu Yue.
"Oh, the two of us really have the same thing as Director He's hero, in fact, when I was still studying, Lao Cai Tou and I nested in the dormitory and analyzed the relationship between many girls in the acting class and "Dream of Red Mansions", we felt that Sister Liang's personality was quite in line with Qingwen's image, it was just an artistic discussion, and there was no other meaning."
Hu Yue sat in the position between the two of them, took a sip of food, and naturally joined the topic.
He Tianran smiled: "The girl who was substituted into the Red Mansion by you is really bloody, after all, there are not many people with a good ending in this book." β
Cai Cianming waved his hand and said: "It's hard to say, no one knows about the last forty episodes of Cao Gong, so to be correct, many characters have no ending." β
Hu Yue then chimed in:
"That's it, but Qingwen's death was written by Cao Gong himself, which is very clear, let's discuss it objectively, in fact, we all like Sister Liang as a person, but just like Qingwen's judgment, the romance and dexterity attract resentment, and the longevity is mostly due to slander.
You also know what kind of character Sister Liang is, Director He, the entertainment industry is like a big view garden, although Sister Liang is not Grandma Liu, but she definitely can't sing the protagonist's play, you think, she has no background backing, the second is that her personality is hard and unconvinced, and the most important thing is that she is also beautiful, you say that such a person, it is unrealistic for her not to provoke some criticism, this is not her black material in the past few years, doesn't it confirm this?
So if you want me to say, when Sister Liang meets Director He, she can be regarded as really getting rid of the fate of the maid Qingwen and officially upgrading to Xue Baochai. β
In such a combination, He Tianran felt that the two of them still had a little bit of truth in what they said, but it was a little weird.
Sure enough, Hu Yue on the side said: "Then Xue Baochai is not necessarily too good, whether it is Gao E's later continuation or the foreshadowing left by the previous article, anyway, seven or eight times out of ten will be frozen to death in the wind and snow." β
He Tianran was puzzled, and sneered at each other: "Hey, didn't you old Cai Bangzi just say that many characters have no ending, why are you saying such things now?" β
Cai Cianming said happily: "Isn't that Jia Baoyu sleepwalking too illusory, and read the script in advance, the judgment of 'the jade belt hangs in the forest, and the golden hairpin is buried in the snow' is not obvious?" Although some things are not explicitly written, it is still possible to reasonably speculate on the direction. β
This calf's attitude is repeated, no matter how he says it, the reason is all accounted for by him, He Tianran's desire to discuss was hooked straight to the top of his head, and he decided to have a good debate with this guy.
"Old Caitou, you can't say that, it's not that Jia Baoyu read the script, those characters really have to follow the ending of the script."
"Oh? What is Dao'er He's opinion? We're listening. β
He Tianran was sitting comfortably in the director's chair with his feet crossed, and when he talked about this, he put his feet down, sat upright, and suddenly got up a fan, he said:
"Let me explain first, I'm not a red scholar, and I don't know much about "Dream of Red Mansions", I'm just from the perspective of readers and creators, to talk to you about how to write this story.
Let's assume a possibility, that is, the judgments, proverbs, poems and details in the book that Jia Baoyu saw in the too illusory realm that implicitly fit the fate of the characters, in fact, they all want to create a sense of crisis and a sense that fate should be like this for the reader, but in the end, he didn't write like that? β
Hu Yue waved his hand and said: "No, Cao Gong just likes to use these as metaphors for the fate of the characters, this is recognized, and it is also why Gao E's continuation can be widely circulated. β
He Tianran slapped his thigh with a "snap" and said:
"I think it's just here, you know, Gao E's forty episodes of this fake continuation are to introduce a great and profound work into a small and vulgar tragedy, what hairpins compete for marriage, two daughters and one man, parents follow bad ideas, vulgar, vulgar!
Think about it, a big book of one hundred and twenty times, involving the fate of so many characters, Cao Xueqin wrote this book, every word seems to be blood, ten years of hard work is unusual, so many years he is just writing such a small tragedy?
Let's throw away some preconceived notions first, what is too illusory judgments and proverbs, girls are all thin people, let's break the theme from a big place, do you think Cao Xueqin's last forty times will be written in order to write these arranged fates? β
These resounding opinions and rhetorical questions shocked both Cai Cianming and Hu Yue, although this is only a personal opinion, but it also reflects some characteristics of He Tianran's creation and even personality.
Hu Yue asked: "Then, if the Red Mansion were to be written by You Dao'er, what kind of ending would you write?" β
He Tianran hurriedly excused himself and said: "Don't don't, don't fight me, I can't write this kind of strange book in my life, I don't have the talent and ability, but you want to ask me what I think of the ending...... I think of a story that should represent my attitude towards this. β
"What's the story?"
The man pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"Gong Zizhen has a poem, I won't talk about the content of the poem, its background is like this, it is said that there is an abandoned house in the north of the city to be pushed to rebuild, in which this courtyard is mixed with peanut trees, the vegetation is very lush, especially a peach blossom and a begonia, it looks extremely good, if it is pressed by the wall like this, or overthrown, it is a pity.
On this day, the poet passed by, saw such a scene and felt pity, so he began to discuss with the master, and the master was also happy, so he gave the peach blossom and the begonia to the poet, so the poet made a poem to save the flowers, and said-
"The oil wall car is parked outside the door, and the double jade in the door is descended to the minister's house.
Karma should be like this, and you can save the life of the world."
You ask me what my attitude is towards the ending, and this poem is my attitude. β
After speaking, He Tianran was still unsatisfied, he hugged his arms, his feet were cocked again, and he muttered in his mouth, relieved, and said repeatedly:
"Karma should be like this, saving the world's thin life, tsk, it's good, it's really good."
Cai and Hu were stupid, the two Wolong and Phoenix Chicks were stupid, they forgot to gnaw on the steamed buns in one hand, and forgot to swallow the rice in the other's mouth, and finally Hu Yue chewed twice, and after swallowing the egg fried rice in his mouth, he gave He Tianran a thumbs up:
"He Dao'er is a true scholar, with compassion and great compassion, and the rest is far less than you! Come on, come on, reward a chicken leg! β
Saying that, he really wanted to clip the chicken thighs in the rice, and He Tianran scolded when he saw this:
"Groove, get out!"
In the cabin, the three of them laughed.
"That'...... He Dao'er, do you still want to know the face I showed Sister Liang? β
Cai Cianming asked at this time.
He Tianran was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile:
"Forget it~! If you can't do it, I'll listen to it in vain. β
At first, he was just curious about metaphysics, and then talked about the classics, which reflected from literary creation to his attitude towards the fate of life.
"Yo~ You guys seem to have a good chat, and you can hear your laughter from a distance when I went to eat just now."
A pleasant voice came from outside the door, and I saw Wen Liang wearing a black fur coat, wearing a dark red Song skirt inside, and holding a small and delicate hand stove in her hand.
"Yo, this is Xue Baochai here."
"No, it's the aftermath."
He Tianran glanced at the two joking animals angrily, and reluctantly corrected:
"It's your Sister Liang here!"
Wen Liang walked into the hut, looked puzzled, and asked:
"What Xue Baochai? Are you talking about Dream of Red Mansions? He Tianran, did you arrange me in private? β
"No, no, no, no......"
He Tianran shook his head like a pendulum clock, and the other two ate and watched the play silently.
"And what are you talking about?"
In the face of Wen Liang's curiosity, Cai Cianming added oil and vinegar and talked nonsense:
"Director He asked me to look at my face just now, and I said that he has children and grandchildren, and he will have four children in the future!"
"Clam ββ?!"
He Tianran was stunned when he heard it, Lao Tzu only saved two flowers, and he could give birth to four children? It's a direct double double, right?
I don't know if Wen Liang really believes it, and said that she wants to take the opportunity to coax, but I saw her frowning extremely seriously and embarrassed:
"Four? Four is too much, right? Three are fine, where did the other one come from? β
He Tianran couldn't hold back directly:
"You ask me? I didn't even get married, how do I know how many children I have?! β
Who knows, Cai Cassia is not too confused:
"Oh, Director He, you believe me, Sister Liang really has a prosperous husband, I have always wanted to tell you......"
Hu Yue directly added fuel to the fire:
"Yes, yes, Director He, you said you have nothing to do with us about "Dream of Red Mansions", even if Sister Liang has acted, you can't keep mentioning it, this is obviously not ......"
Cai Cassia ββ! Hu Yueββ! I'm sorry for your grandmother's legsββ! I'll kill you both! β
He Tianran's eyes widened with anger.
Gong Zizhen's poem, provided by the book friend "Zhonglie Gong", he said that this poem is very in line with a tone of the book, I thought it was true when I saw it, so I used "Dream of Red Mansions" as an introduction and arranged it here.
In fact, every time I write about the plot of He, Hu, and Cai, I feel a little emotional, if you go through the plot of these three people's night chat, you should be able to clearly feel some psychological changes in the character of He Tianran.
PS: In other words, the names "Gong Zizhen" and "He Shengme" are also very interesting. (laughs)
