Chapter 415: Playing with the Rest (2)
(Ask for a subscription!) Ask for a ticket! )
On the day of the performance, the theater was crowded with audiences, even the aisles were crowded with audiences, and there was almost no place in the entire theater.
The show went on like this, one by one, and when the original plan was for the female singer to star in the show, the boss took the stage to apologize and inform everyone:
Everyone, I'm sorry, this person is ill today, and he really can't perform on stage, we have a better role, let her replace a while, right?
The boss thought that he would be fine, but he never expected that as soon as his words fell, the audience below boiled directly, and everyone was angry and shouted and asked, what's going on?
The audience close to the front of the stage was even more indignant, and negotiated directly and solemnly with the boss, if there was no actress, we wouldn't watch this play, refund the ticket!
"I am here for a certain person, and if this is the case, I must return the drama ticket, otherwise I will not forgive."
When the boss saw it, he was dumbfounded, what the hell is going on? Why do so many people like the girl?
After making trouble for a long time, it turned out that everyone came to see her, and they were so loved!
No, this ticket must not be refunded, and if it is refunded, so many people will have to die.
Subsequently, the boss persuaded him with good words, and while sending someone to continue the performance, he hurriedly took the car to the woman's apartment in person and came to the door to ask for help.
Of course, this kind of rescue thing, the appearance fee is naturally negotiable, and the boss is generous, so the female singer is naturally no longer hypocritical, and said on the spot that she is willing to act with illness and save the scene.
Subsequently, the female singer performed on stage, and the audience watched the female performance, and immediately applauded, shouting loudly and applauding.
Seeing this situation, the boss immediately wrote down in his heart that the actress's appearance fee in the future, but he didn't dare to give less, this is a big name.
In fact, he didn't know that most of the people in the audience who were cheering hard were the actors who paid the money for the relationship between the actress and the young man.
These people were either from gangs, or from dock coolies, or from idle people in the alleys, and after they had taken the money, they all poured into the theater, pretending to be die-hard fans of the actress, and they had to take the stage.
On that day, the actress created such a big momentum, and the theater naturally obeyed her in every way from then on.
Since then, her appearance fee has been even more alarmingly high, and other theaters have also raised the actress's appearance fee unanimously after learning of the news.
The woman spent a few hundred yuan and successfully entered the front line, and she had to sigh that the money was really worth it.
Later, the news spread quietly in the circle, and the people who followed suit gradually became endless, and this kind of behavior of spending money and brushing powder gradually became a well-known Q rule in the circle.
Later, he lamented the civil strife in the entertainment industry, but in fact, during the Republic of China, this circle was already mixed.
The Q rules I saw later abounded back then, and even surpassed them, all of which were leftovers that were played by others.
It's just that Li Yaoyang didn't expect Hemingway to rely on his own 'hard work' to play the same routine in the ugly country, I have to say that entertainment is a circle.
However, when it comes to the entertainment industry of the Republic of China in the 30s, it was an era of talented and beautiful people.
Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu secretly competed with each other, Chen Yanyan, Li Zhuozhuo, and Wang Renmei each blossomed;
Male stars Jin Yan and Yuan Congmei are rising, and Xu Lai and Zhao Dan are newborn calves with a lot of momentum.
However, there are more stars, and the relationship is complicated, and in front of a table, you are indispensable to fight for me.
At a fashion dinner in later generations, a certain force queen waited until the actress who was supposed to be the finale walked on the red carpet in order to finalize.
This kind of careful thinking is not new in the entertainment circle of the Republic of China.
Generally speaking, celebrity competition for position often occurs between people of the same sex.
But Zhao Dan, a popular and powerful student in the Republic of China, once ate the vinegar of the singer Zhou Xuan, and staged an embarrassing scene after the king disappeared.
At that time, Cathay Pacific Pictures was going to start filming the film "Mourning Jiangnan", and the trailer posted at the door of the Jincheng Theater was posted, and the name of the leading actor Zhao Dan was placed after Zhou Xuan.
This can make Zhao Dan anxious, you must know that in the film "Angel on the Road" they collaborated on before, Zhao Dan's name was before Zhou Xuan.
At that time, Zhou Xuan was at the peak of his career, and his good voice caused the public to boil.
In addition, Zhao Dan asked Guotai Company for 60 million legal currency [legal tender was the currency issued by the national government during the Republic of China, and in the early 1940s, 100 legal currency could be exchanged for 1 bag of flour or 1 chicken. ] high salary.
Cathay finally reluctantly gave up Zhao Dan and used the newcomer Feng Zhe at the time to play it.
Zhao Dan staged a farce with his fame and ended in embarrassment.
There are more actresses who turn their faces with each other, and Lan Ping and Wang Ying once had a lot of trouble for the role of the famous prostitute Sai Jinhua in the drama "Sai Jinhua".
At that time, Wang Ying's fame and strength were far above Lan Ping, and Lan Ping, who was still a small coffee, wanted to become the most popular film and television star, and decided that this was an opportunity, so she tried her best to fight, and even insulted Wang Ying in person, but unfortunately she lost in the end.
In November 1936, Wang Ying simply put aside a bunch of troubles with Lan Ping, and signed a contract with Shanghai Jincheng Grand Theater to play the heroine of "Sai Jinhua", and performed more than 20 consecutive performances in the magic capital, and the scenery was unlimited for a while.
Although Wang Ying has always been calm and light in this competition, she can't survive the other party's grudge.
Years later, Lan Ping became Jiang Qing, and Wang Ying also paid a terrible price for this past.
There is even more bloody, which is completely a bridge section where third-tier stars take the opportunity to ascend.
"A generation of enchantresses" Bai Guang is famous for playing bad women, and her private life is also quite chaotic.
For a while, she starred in a drama in Tianjin and met a third- or fourth-rate actress in Tianjin, Hong Feng.
Not only did the two become friends, but Bai Guang also took Red Maple to his house to live.
But Hongfeng is not an ordinary character, not only did he engage in a few male friends of Bai Guang, but also said that these friends like him or not like Bai Guang, and the whole story of "The Farmer Saves the Snake" is a story.
Bai Guang also regretted it very much, he shouldn't trust women, he suffered a woman's loss, and his sisters turned their faces, it turned out to be a tradition.
All kinds of hype are naturally endless, and the magic capital of the 30s was full of film companies, many stars, and fierce competition.
In order to increase popularity and make the film a blockbuster, film companies will also think of many ways to hype.
Large companies like Star Pictures have even set up a dedicated publicity department to coordinate media relations and produce news topics.
Some of the hype methods at that time were not inferior to later generations, and even more eye-catching.
At the end of 1939, Yihua Film Company's new film "Swallow Thief" was released, the film is about a theft in the capital, and every time the theft is completed, a swallow will be left at the scene, which is quite a bit of "Sailor Moon" in the meaning of the rose in the night dress mask.
At that time, in order to increase the popularity of the film, before its release, newspapers continued to publish advertisements to "seriously warn the residents of the city" in the form of news - the magic capital found a thief with a unique skill, please be careful.
even exaggerated a reward of 50,000 yuan to catch the thief, just because the thief stole more than 200,000 worth of jewelry, and the skill is superb, and there is a swallow mark.
For a while, the city was full of wind and rain, and everyone was talking about it, until the film was released, everyone was shocked that it was just the hype of the filmmaker.
The same trick is also used to praise newcomers.
At that time, in order to make the newcomer Li Lihua popular, Yihua Film Company published an advertisement in the newspaper for several days that she was looking for a lost diamond ring, and then published a notice of a circus to collect a diamond ring, and a few days later, Li Lihua thanked and donated 200 yuan to the refugee child.
In fact, these are all unwarranted things, but the public is curious about who Li Lihua, who appears in the newspaper every day, is sacred, and when the "Three Laughs" starring her is released, it will naturally be crowded.
Before Poplar, known as the "Four Famous Dans", first appeared in the magic capital film industry, Star Film Company also planned a series of hype events in the newspaper.
First of all, the name of "Miss Beiping" was used to hype up the audience in the magic capital;
Then he used plastic surgery as a topic to create heat for Poplar, saying that Poplar should repair "concave nose, convex lips, facial freckles" and so on.
After a few hot stir-fries, of course, the audience really wants to see this poplar that is becoming more and more beautiful after plastic surgery.
When the movie "Cross Street" starring Bai Yang was screened, the company even produced a nine-story movie poster and placed it in the center of Shanghai.
The film is wonderful, the hype is appropriate, and Poplar naturally became famous overnight.
Of course, the articles that can be done in the newspaper are always those tricks, so the film company has to rack its brains to think about and innovate the way of hype.
There is a scene in the movie "Fake Phoenix" that ridicules the barber, and before the release, the barbers' guild and the film company are in a fierce battle.
The guild demanded that the title of the barber in the film be changed to that of a barber, and that the image of the barber would be tarnished by sticking cigarettes in his ears and wearing undershirts;
The film company insisted that it was an artistic creation and plot need, and that it was not aimed at any profession.
When it was time for the public preview of the film, a large number of barbers gathered at the entrance of the theater to protest, preventing the audience from buying tickets to watch the film, and the heroine Li Lihua didn't even dare to go to the barber shop to cut her hair.
In the end, the filmmaker compromised, deleted some scenes, and apologized in the newspaper. In addition to the farce, "Fake Phoenix" has made a lot of money.
Afterwards, many people suspected that this was a hype drama directed and acted by Wenhua Company, but they couldn't find any evidence.
Fake is real and real is fake, and it can really be described as the highest level of hype.
A more classic one occurred in 1926, when the movie "The Resurrection of Conscience" starring Yang Naimei, the "first real star", was released.
When the audience saw the climax of the film, when the heroine sang the theme song "Ru Niang Song" in the living room, the curtain suddenly rose.
This is not a screening accident, the audience was surprised to see an identical living room scene built behind the curtain, and with the accompaniment of the band, Yang Naimei performed a moving "ru niang song" live.
Although it was only 3 minutes, it caused a huge sensation at the time, "The Resurrection of Conscience" was screened for 20 days, and Yang Naimei also became a big star in the history of Chinese film silent films.
In fact, the idea was already in the production phase, when the studio revamped the screen and hired a band in advance.
Not only is the hype method advanced and worth recalling in this era, but the scale of the stars is also much larger than that of later generations.
For example, there was a time when Hollywood movie stars broke out to take pictures, and I don't know what the response was on the other side of the ocean, but it caused a crazy download wave in the mainland.
can be put in the free and fraternistic Republic of China, this is not a matter, for example, "the first movie queen in Xiangjiang" Li Qinian is a lover of fruit photos.
Li Qinian has starred in films such as "The Female Emperor" and "Liang Hongyu", but it has not set off any craze in the magic capital.
But she is keen on taking half-fruit photos, basically once every two weeks, and posing in dozens of poses each time.
The welfare of otaku in the Republic of China is that Li Qinian prints thousands of photos to give to fans every time, free of charge, it is simply the gospel of otaku.
When taking pictures, Li Qinian also changed his clothes in front of everyone, without scruples, but he could see the faces of the people around him, which showed that the star was bold and pioneer at that time.
also dares to be the first, as well as Ruan Lingyu. When the wind blew to Shanghai that year, the people of the time called it "righteous humiliation", which sounded awkward, and Chinese women also wore it awkwardly at that time.
Ruan Lingyu, who is famous for her beauty in a cheongsam, boldly wore "righteous humiliation".
Obviously, the upright effect of "righteous humiliation" is much better than the red belly pocket worn by traditional Chinese women.
Therefore, this "righteous humiliation" made Ruan Lingyu more sense, and Ruan Lingyu also drove the popularity among Chinese women.
Taking pictures or something is also pediatrics, when Fan Ye was secretly photographed by the paparazzi in a swimsuit, his small belly was fully displayed, which damaged Fan Ye's prestige.
Throughout the mainland entertainment industry, celebrities rarely show off their swimsuits in public, and they have to ask PS to repair their bodies before the swimsuit photos are released.
But during the Republic of China, those who did not publicly "swimsuit and play in the water" for fans and the media were embarrassed to say that they were in the entertainment industry.
When it comes to swimsuits, it really depends on the figure.
At that time, some people commented: "Oriental standard beauty" Xu Lai "is flat in front of the bear", and he is not good-looking;
"Beautiful Bird" Chen Yanyan has plump muscles, beautiful lines, and often shows affection with her fiancé Huang Shaofen;
Li Zhuozhuo, who is good at playing the villain, is the most moving, with a toned physique that is plump and fleshy;
Ruan Lingyu was afraid of water, so she didn't dare to move when she got into the water...... You must know that these stars were like the four big stars at that time.
Actresses look at their figures, male stars look at their muscles, and the powerful male stars Gong Jianong and Gao Zhanfei at that time had a "majestic body", and they looked very good in the blue waves.
From these evaluations, it can be seen that during the Republic of China, celebrities were still evaluated based on health and plumpness.
The media at that time was much meaner than it is now, and one reporter wrote:
"Many Chinese actresses, as soon as they take off their clothes, are either thin like ducks or swollen like water tanks." that
If you think about it carefully, this sentence also applies to the entertainment industry in later generations, as for who is the board duck and who is the water tank, make up for it yourself.
Anyway, in this day and age, entertainment stars are really doing everything for the sake of fire.
The means used by the kings and queens of later generations are simply pediatrics, if this is seen by the predecessors, it is estimated that the coffin can be turned over, what are the things, it is really not as good as the generation!
