1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 178 Lin Daiyu falls from the sky!

Early in the morning on April 1st, Xia rode her bicycle to the Old Summer Palace.

How can I describe this place? Now it is just wasteland, weeds, ruins and huge stone pillars...

In some places on the edge, there are cultivated vegetable gardens, large tracts of water, and patches of reeds as tall as a person that block the view...

A dirt road running from north to south, so narrow that no one knows where it leads...

If you don’t know, you would think you have come to some desolate wilderness!

On the journey to the West, people had to be extremely careful and did not dare to linger in any place for fear of monsters.

More than a hundred years have passed since it was burned down by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Buried beneath the weeds and soil is a century of shame.

Although it has been covered up, it is still in everyone's heart.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou said to Liang Sicheng: "The ruins of the Old Summer Palace should be preserved, and the land should not be used. Imperialism burned it down, but we can restore it in the future if conditions permit."

The Old Summer Palace Management Office was formally established a few years ago. It now has about seventy to eighty people. They built more than thirty rooms for office, living and management, and started planting trees.

Otherwise, the scene before our eyes in summer would probably be even more desolate.

Up to now, there are 7 production teams, 270 households, more than 20 settlements and more than 2000 residents in the park.

Last year, the Old Summer Palace ruins were planned as a heritage park, and this year efforts have begun to restore the water area within the park - Fu Hai.

But at least the address of the training class is not bad, it is a small guesthouse of the park management office...right behind the remaining stones of the large fountain in the Western Building of the Old Summer Palace.

A row of houses consisting entirely of bungalows with small courtyards.

Because they wanted to accommodate more than 30 young actors who had basically confirmed they had roles, the accommodation conditions were average, with four people in a room - no, they were not actors yet, and very few of them had any acting experience.

By the time summer arrived, many members of the crew had already arrived.

However, Director Wang did not come. He is still in "retreat" and there are still many problems to be solved regarding the script.

"Hey, Sister Qiu, you're here early!" Xia Tian greeted a female comrade.

"Are you here?" Qiu Peining greeted softly.

She was from the Yenching Comrades Song and Dance Troupe, and by chance, she came to the crew of "A Dream of Red Mansions" to work as a reporter.

But what impressed people more was that she played Chang'e in "Journey to the West" later.
"Sister Qin is busy too?" Xia Tian greeted Shi Yanqin, who was in charge of costumes on the crew.

When she heard that Red Mansions was about to start filming, she took a train to Beijing and found Director Wang to recommend herself...

When Shi Yanqin saw Xia Tian, ​​she immediately became happy: "Look, how about this color?"

Before meeting Shi Yanqin, Xia Tian had no idea that he was actually somewhat famous in the field of fashion design!
He was underestimating the "Labor Clothing Exhibition" that was competing with Pierre Cardin.

According to Shi Yanqin, basically any fashion designer who can find a way will try to get some photos of the "Labor Clothing Exhibition".

After all, before the summer, no one in China was doing this thing, and even the concept of clothing design was very vague.

Xia Tian’s leading role is much more important than he imagined.

So Shi Yanqin always felt that Xia Tian could give some advice! She had to give some advice!

During the first two chats, Shi Yanqin was worried about the color matching of the costumes for the characters in the play.

Xia Tian said, "Aren't all the colors in the names? And then depending on the plot, warm colors are used for warm and cool colors are used for sad. That's about it!"

This sentence made Shi Yanqin so happy that she felt like her Ren and Du meridians were opened. She stayed up all night and drew more than 30 design drafts!

He is also a top-notch scroll king!
Now she showed Xia Tian a set of clothes that Sister Bao wore in the play. The book said it was "honey color", which was a term used in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Now I don't know what color it is.
Shi Yanqin's head hurt from thinking so much.

Xia Tian reminded her: "The book mentions that Sister Bao's clothes are neither new nor old, so the color of her clothes must be moderate, not too conspicuous like Sister Feng. In addition, 'mihe' seems to be a term used in traditional Chinese medicine. Fine powder or extracts of traditional Chinese medicine are added with refined honey as a binder and mixed into pills, which are called 'mihe pills'... Why don't you try honey and cinnabar?"

Now Shi Yanqin is trying the "slightly yellow with red" color to see the effect in the summer.

After seeing it, Xiatian nodded her head continuously - the color was very similar to the one she remembered Bao Jiejie wore in the TV series!
Qiu Peining just watched quietly at the side without saying a word.

At this time, cameraman Li Yaozong walked in. He was called by Director Wang a few days ago.

Originally he didn't want to come because the TV series would take two or three years to shoot and he was in a relationship, so how could he be willing to come?
As a result, Director Wang was very flexible at this time and directly asked him to bring his partner to join the crew!

As soon as he came in, he ignored the other two female comrades and grabbed Xia Tian: "Tian'er, I think you are right! You really can't use too many medium shots, you should use more close-ups!"

This is some of the discussion we had last time about lenses and photography.

After all, Xia Tian is now also an “excellent student in the directing department”!

In terms of professional knowledge, Li Yaozong, who came from a photography background, was better, but Xia Tian raised a question that he could not ignore.

"Brother Zong, I think we can't just consider filming, we also have to consider the release."

"This is a TV series. The resolution of the TVs in the audience's homes is limited. They are not like movie theater screens. Flat light is more suitable for today's TVs."

"On a small screen of 12 to 16 inches, the effect of the mid-shot may not be clear. I think we need a close-up, with the camera directly facing the face, or even just retaining the eyes. Of course, this will require a higher level of acting skills, especially eye contact."

Looking at Xia Tian being dragged away by Li Yaozong, Shi Yanqin said, "Hey, he's really popular!"

Qiu Peining nodded. Who in Yanjing doesn't like summer?
……

Soon it was noon, and Deng Jie was walking along the dirt road, carrying a bag on her back and another bag in her hand.

She came from Sichuan Province, which is thousands of miles away.

According to the letter of introduction, she only knew that the guesthouse was here, but this place was too big! It was as desolate as the wilderness. Where could she go? She could only walk along the dirt road.

Just then, she vaguely heard someone playing the guitar!
Then a song was heard: "Everyone knows that being an immortal is good, but fame and fortune are unforgettable!

Where will the past and the present meet?A pile of grass in the barren mound is gone.

The world knows that gods are good, only gold and silver can not be forgotten!
In the end, I only hate to get together, but for a long time my eyes are closed.

Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only my beloved wife can never forget them!
Jun said kindness on his birthday, and Jun died with others.

Everyone knows that gods are good, only children and grandchildren can't forget it!
Infatuated parents have been many since ancient times, who have met filial children and grandchildren? "

This is a voice that sounds a bit vicissitudes of life, but it is difficult to tell the age!

Moreover, this melody is completely different from the song "Hao Le" in "The Prologue of A Dream of Red Mansions" broadcast a few days ago!
This is a guitar accompaniment, with a bit of Hong Kong pop music feel!
Deng Jie couldn't help but walk over following the singing.

Just as she turned a corner, she saw a row of small bungalows and courtyards with simple low walls.

At the door of the guesthouse, a young man was holding a guitar... He had starry eyebrows and sharp eyes and was very handsome!

He had long, thick black hair, which was tied up behind his head and pinned with a wooden hairpin. He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt in early April, which made him look very cool.

At that time, two words appeared in Deng Jie's mind: beautiful and pleasing to the eyes!
She calmed herself down and stepped forward to ask, "Hello, comrade. My name is Deng Jie. Is this the Red Mansion training class?"

Xia Tian looked up and saw that it was actually Sister Feng/Concubine Yi.

Deng Jie has an oval face, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and not very white skin. She is not tall but always smiling and looks very calm.

"Hello, Comrade Deng Jie, this is the Red Mansion training class. I'm Xia Tian, ​​and I'm also a member of the training class." The two shook hands.

Xia Tian led the way and took her to report.

On the way, Deng Jie said: "I walked for most of the day but didn't see anyone. I don't know where the guesthouse is. I'm so confused!"

Well, Sichuan dialect is a panic.
Xia Tian nodded. He understood that this place was a bit remote - Director Wang had simply set up a center to quit internet addiction!

Deng Jie is still very talkative and steady.

She is 26 years old this year, much older than the other actors.

After handing Deng Jie over to the others in the training class, Xia Tian said, "You guys keep busy. I'll go get a sign so that others won't be unable to find it!"

Just when Xia was about to stick the written piece of paper on a roadside tree trunk, the second person arrived.

"Hello, are you Xia Tian?" The man extended his hand and shook hands with Xia Tian.

"I'm Yuan Mei, a Huangmei Opera actor. You sang so well on the Spring Festival Gala, you're no worse than a professional Huangmei Opera actor!"

The influence of the 84 Spring Festival Gala had already begun to show, especially since Yuan Mei and Ma Lan were known as the Five Golden Flowers of Huangmei Opera, so naturally they attracted more attention.

When she paid attention to Ma Lan, she also paid attention to Xia Tian who sang "Husband and Wife Return Home Together" with Ma Lan.

The five of them were in the same class and were selected to perform in Hong Kong in 81 for eight consecutive shows. They were later called the Five Golden Flowers.

Yuan Mei's repertoire is "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", in which she plays the heroine Seventh Fairy who wants to marry a mortal and is not interested in the prosperity of the heavenly palace.

"The Couple Return Home Together" was created based on "The Legend of the White Snake".

In fact, more and more people across the country are now beginning to understand summer.

After sending the curious Yuan Mei to the guesthouse, Xia Tian finally finished putting up the sign.

Then Chen Xiaoxu came, and she had even less luggage than the previous two.

Chen Xiaoxu has a small face and a thin body, just like a middle school student.

It's still chilly in spring, so you won't feel cold even if you wear a thin shirt in summer.

Xiaoxu is in poor health, so he naturally wears more clothes.

She was wearing a black woolen Tang suit style jacket, which made her skin look very white, and she had a shiny black braid in front of her. In the summer, she was still smiling shyly, which gave me a very cool feeling.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

She recognized that Xia Tian was the gay man who asked her to keep the train ticket during the interview.

"Hey, this sister, I've seen her before~" Xia Tian joked.

Chen Xiaoxu was amused and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

Xia Tian stepped aside to let Xiao Xu see the sign he had posted.

"Are there many people coming now?" she asked.

"You are the third one." Xia Tian took her to the guesthouse.

After walking only two steps, Xia Tian suddenly turned around. He heard someone talking not far away.

Sure enough, another person came not far behind.

"Hello, how do we beat people in the Red Mansion training class?" she asked from a distance.

Hmm? This Mandarin is weird~
