1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 203 Me too!
Xia Tian closely monitored the changes in the crew, mainly Ouyang's actions.

Finally, the day he had been waiting for came.

That day, Guo Xiaozhen received a letter saying that the director of a certain crew wanted to invite Xiao Guo to meet him, saying that there was a role that he thought Xiao Guo was very suitable for.

Xiao Guo's heart was filled with joy!
Although it is wonderful to be able to perform in "Dream of Red Mansions", I will have to return to my hometown after the performance.

She wants to stay in Yanjing...who wouldn't want to?

So, when the day came, she dressed up beautifully and went out, wanting to meet the crew.

The address is a bit far away, near the Yanjing Exhibition Hall, and you have to change buses twice just to get there.

This was of course Ouyang Fenqiang's prank, and the idea came from Chen Xiaoxu!
They took this joke a bit too far!

But it happened to be what Xia Tian needed, so he didn't stop it, but took advantage of the situation.

Xia Tian, ​​Milan and Dachun were standing not far from the exhibition hall and saw the anxious Xiao Guo waiting there.

Xia Tian felt that it was time and pushed Da Chun: "Da Chun, you go ahead!"

Dachun: “Ah! Me?” He looked very sincere.

"Aren't you going together?"

He felt a little guilty and didn't dare to do it!

Xia Tian rolled his eyes: "What? You want us to go with you when you enter the bridal chamber?"

Dachun thought for two seconds and said, "You don't have to enter the bridal chamber. You have to come to the wedding! It's okay if you don't come, but the gift money can't be less!"

"Go away!"

Guo Xiaozhen, who was already waiting in despair, suddenly saw Dachun appear pushing a bicycle.

"Dachun? Why are you here?" she asked.

She felt so embarrassed now.

Dachun was a little nervous: "Xia Tian said that Ouyang and his friends played a prank on you and tricked you out. So I came here..."

Now that they were here, the two of them started to push the bike along the road, chatted, bought some snacks, and ate...

Xia Tian and Milan were like two stalkers, following from a distance.

Originally Xia Tian meant: That’s enough, let’s go back?

As the saying goes: The more you endure the hardship, the better your sleep.

It is also said: A wise man does not fall in love, and is not responsible for drowning.

I can only help you up to this point~
But Milan disagrees!

Milan: Look again! It’s so interesting to watch other people dating! This is better than TV!
Don't tell me, that silly Chun started to get a little nervous, he tried to find a topic dryly: "Guess what when I opened my eyes in the morning? Hey! I woke up!"

Milan almost fainted from laughing!
But soon his wise and foolish half came online.

People have become more diligent, more straightforward, and more sweet-mouthed!
That little kowtow is for you~
“When I used my camera to take pictures of sunrise and sunset, I found that the pictures I took were not as beautiful as what I actually saw. I would not think that the sky was not beautiful, because I know that the camera cannot capture the beauty of the sky.”

"I see you the same way. In fact... you are as dazzling as the sunset!"

Not far away, Xia Tian and Milan, who were drinking soda with their backs to the two of them, were stunned.

Milan glanced at Xia Tian: Did you teach him?
Xia Tian: I swear it has nothing to do with me!

That afternoon was sunny, beautiful and unforgettable for Xiao Guo and Da Chun.

Looking back many years later, it seems that the clouds in my memory were all colorful!
Before dinner, Guo Xiaozhen was carried back to the crew by Dachun on his bicycle.

After returning to the crew, Ouyang pretended to run over and ask, "Guo Xiaozhen, you've been out for most of the day, what's the matter?"

Xiao Guo smiled brightly: "Nothing, I'm going to meet a friend."

When Ouyang saw Guo Xiaozhen's expression, he thought something was wrong! Why wasn't she angry at all?

I asked, "Aren't you invited to act?"

Guo Xiaozhen grabbed the broom beside the wall and said, "Okay, it's you who did this! You die~" Several people started a big fight.

In the end, Xiaoxu and Ouyang couldn't help but admire: Xiao Guo was not angry at all, he was indeed the romantic Xiangyun!

How could they know that Xiangyun was not angry because spring had come~
The next day, Xia Tian brought the two of them together and criticized them: "This kind of joke is inappropriate. You should be able to see how much Xiangyun wants to stay in Yanjing. Isn't this just rubbing salt into the wound?"

Fortunately I was prepared!
Ouyang lowered his head and dared not say a word. Xiaoxu did not refute and went to apologize to Xiao Guo.

Then Xia Tian found Director Wang and said, "I think Ouyang is in the right state now. We can't let him continue to make trouble. We need to put our energy into the character of Baoyu."

So, Ouyang's prank by imperial order came to an end~
……

When Xia Tian arrived at the Grand View Garden that day, he saw a group of people surrounding Ouyang and Ma Chengru. When he looked again, he was shocked! The corners of Ma Chengru's mouth turned blue!
Got into a fight?
No way, with Ouyang's small stature, wouldn't Ma Chengru knock him flying with just one punch? !

"What's wrong? What is this?" Xia Tian asked.

The girls around them talked a lot and found out that these two people had slacked off to watch a movie.

As a result, I had an argument with the person sitting next to me. In the spirit of not fighting when you can, there was a conflict.
Ouyang looked frustrated and guilty: "If it wasn't for protecting me, Ma Chengru wouldn't have been punched so many times by them!"

It was Ma Chengru who blocked the man and let him run first, so he was beaten black and blue.

But Ma Chengru didn't care: "You are the protagonist, Jia Baoyu, and we have to protect you. You can't get hurt! Not even a little bit!"

His words made Xia Tian look at him with a new respect.

This is also a fool in a dream!

……

This year's filming tasks are not too heavy, mainly because the preliminary work is still in progress, mostly character auditions, which are only held every three or five days. So for the time being, everyone should continue to learn and ponder.

At this point, Ouyang has successfully brought in Jia Baoyu, and the various segments of the performance are also satisfactory.

Compared to Xiaoxu, who was very positive about, admired, and involved in Lin Daiyu, Zhang Li had a hard time getting into the role. Xia Tian could see that she was a little repulsive.

It's like being a freshman in the acting department of Yandian University. If you can't let go and accept it, you can't act! It's too superficial.

I went to find her in the summer, Xiaoxu was also in the dormitory, um, writing a diary!

Seeing Xia Tian coming in, she rolled her eyes and quickly put away the diary.

Xia Tian: Tsk~ I'm not peeking, why are you on guard, gentleman?!

"Zhang Li, the crew watched your video again today and it's not bad."

He looked at Zhang Li, who was sitting on the bed and smiling faintly, and said, "But why do I feel like you are resisting? What are you resisting? Don't you want to act?"

The smile on Zhang Li's face gradually disappeared. She pursed her lips for a long time before saying, "...I don't like Xue Baochai."

This surprised Xia Tian and Xiao Xu.

They looked at each other, not expecting to hear these words.

The actress who plays Xue Baochai doesn't like Xue Baochai, this...

Xia Tian asked: "Why?"

Zhang Li did not hide it and said, "I think Xue Baochai is too utilitarian. She keeps silent when things don't concern her, in exchange for a reputation of being virtuous! Her generosity and dignity reveal a falsehood..."

Xia Tian nodded slightly. So that's how it is. It's a question of understanding the characters...

At this time, scholars of the Dream of the Red Chamber all talked about class oppression, and generally praised Baoyu and Daiyu for their pursuit of free love, while they were mostly negative about Baochai.

Given this atmosphere, most people wouldn't dare to say they like Baochai even if they like her.

What's more, many times we are all influenced by authoritative experts.

If he writes a book and analyzes the situation, saying that Baochai is not good, then many people will think that Baochai is not good.

After all, there are only a few people who can truly possess independent consciousness and use dialectics to think independently.

Xia Tian thought about it, glanced at Zhang Li, and then looked at Xiao Xu.

"I think... the real Daiyu would definitely understand Baochai, would comprehend Baochai, and would say to Baochai, 'These things are small, but it is rare that you are so affectionate.'"

In the 45th chapter of the book, "The Anglicized Sisters", Xue Baochai delivers bird's nests to Lin Daiyu in the rain, and the two of them put aside their prejudices and reconciled.

The bird's nest has become a testimony to the deep love between Daiyu and Chai, leading to the above sentence.

Xia Tian glanced at Zhang Li: "Daiyu said she was 'passionate', but how many people can understand Baochai's 'passion'?"

"She is always rational and calm. Many people would only say that she is 'emotionally intelligent and thoughtful' for her thoughtfulness, but they would not consider how much effort she puts into the detailed arrangements of each and every thing."

"Nowadays, people support black eyebrows and suppress hairpins. They are just rootless duckweed swept by the times."

"The relationship between Chai and Dai is very clearly described in the book. A golden sworn brotherhood!"

"Daiyu will understand Baochai, and Cao Gong will understand her too!"

"Cao Gong praised the lonely forest of the immortals in the secluded world, and also praised the crystal snow of the noble men in the mountains. I believe that when he wrote the Dream of the Red Chamber, he also described these girls with a yearning and nostalgia for beauty."

"Many people think that Baochai is too ruthless compared to other girls with true temperament."

"Heartless? It's too easy to understand everyone's situation and needs. Once you empathize with them, you will inevitably hurt yourself. You can only restrain yourself."

"She doesn't care about her own fate, let alone others."

"Having experienced the vicissitudes of life, knowing the sweetness and bitterness, he can be at peace despite separation, hence the name Lengxiang Pills."

"Fragrance can be cooled, and everything in the world can be cooled."

"The more one emphasizes restraining desire, the stronger the desire in one's nature. This is the meaning of the metaphor of the hot poison and the cold fragrance pill."

Xia Tian picked up the copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber" from Zhang Li's hand and took a look. There were many comments and annotations written by Zhang Li on it.

He said: "I haven't studied the indexes and textual research, but if the prototype of Chai and Dai is actually the same person, and Cao Xueqin also knew this person as well as himself, I think it is a very good combination."

"According to the mental state and temperament described in the book, Baochai should be around fifteen years old. Before the age of fourteen or fifteen, this girl is Daiyu. After the age of fifteen, her frown disappears, her appearance becomes more beautiful, and there is a hint of smile at the corners of her mouth, but her whole body is cold. She becomes Baochai..."

"If Cao Xueqin had such a girl by his side when he was young, I think it would be understandable."

Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li listened attentively, looking at Xia Tian with their eyes wide open.

Xia Tian continued, "You don't have to be deeply involved in the world, just observe the world and you will understand it clearly. Most of the time, Baochai can give people what they want, and she has a set of skilled mask techniques to deal with everything."

"But she's not familiar with the part where she has no experience. So the occasional panic can reveal a little bit of the real her."

"Cao Gong understood this very well. So after clearly describing Baochai's mask and routine, whenever he mentioned Baochai, it was often when she lost her composure."

"She quarreled with her brother, was mocked by Baoyu as Yang Fei, pushed a butterfly onto Daiyu, and sat beside Baoyu to embroider..."

"Look, she's just a girl of your age...just like you."

Zhang Li stood there in a daze, then suddenly ran out of the dormitory with red eyes.

Xiao Xu was anxious and sat up straight: "Go and catch up!"

Xia Tian did not move, but looked at Xiao Xu: "You have to go, go and chase him."

Seeing that Xia Tian was really motionless, Xiao Xu stamped his feet anxiously, quickly put on his slippers and chased after him.

...In the grove not far away, two people were sitting on a tree stump, leaning close together.

Xiao Xu said: "I understand... the feeling of a close friend, right?"

"You..." Zhang Li said, unable to speak.

Xiao Xu simply said: "Me too!"

Zhang Li saw Xiaoxu looking at the window frame on the other side of the dormitory and smiling, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
