1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 222 Milan plays the role of a skeleton, Zhang Li begins to stay in Beijing

In the summer, I drew several renderings based on Milan's look, discussed with the makeup artist and costume designer several times, and then started trying on makeup.

The costume is mainly white, with darker lines and spots on the lower part.

The headdress used some pearls, gold and gems (colored glass, glittering), but the most important hairpin was in the shape of bones.

In terms of makeup, try to make it look mature and charming, with eyeliner and light eyeshadow.

You know what, Milan is indeed talented. She turned her head and smiled coldly, giving a feeling of being young and mature, charming and vicious!
I always feel that this White Bone Lady is very changeable!
Milan is the kind of person who is particularly good at expressing his emotions through eyes, facial expressions and body language. Xia Tian has a deep understanding of this.
Plus, the character of Madam White Bone isn’t complicated, there’s nothing much to understand.

Xia Tian thought the performance was pretty good~
Director Yang also nodded, "Okay, okay! Just this one shot is very interesting!"

In fact, Mrs. White Bone does not have many scenes. Although everyone feels that she seems to have a strong presence, more roles are played by the village girl, old woman and old man who "transformed" into them. The White Bone Demon only appears in some behind-the-scenes boss shots in the "cave".

Otherwise, Milan may not be able to perform in a short period of time.

While Milan was indulging in her fairy cravings, the courtyard house in Houhai was also completed.

Xia Tian checked it out and paid the money decisively. Then, after Milan finished playing the role of the White Bone Demon, the two of them would move in!
……

On June 6, Chen Yang, the manager of the Audio-Visual Publishing House, approached Xia Tian - to add more chapters. No, to my surprise, he wanted to reprint "Summer of 9"!

It has been on sale since May 5th, and less than 20 days have passed, and only a few hundred thousand of the first print run of 20 are left!

Brother Liu waved his hand and printed another 50 copies!

Xia Tian sighed: "Making money has become a burden! I have never liked money. I am not interested in money!"

On June 6, Milan finished her performance of The Bone Lady with some difficulty.

The two of them didn’t have time to move and went to the hospital on June 6!
Good news came from the delivery room—Li Chengru’s wife gave birth!
In the past two years, Lao Li has been running around with Director Yang and has rarely gone home.

Fortunately, the crew happened to be in Yanjing this time, otherwise I wouldn’t be by my wife’s side when she gave birth.

In the original time and space, because the filming location was in a remote area and communication was inconvenient, he only learned that he had become a father three days after his son was born.

I don’t know if this was the reason why he never paid enough attention to his son.

Speaking of Li Chengru, he is quite popular in the Journey to the West crew.

Director Yang agreed to give Li Chengru a role at the beginning, and he did give it to him - it was the "Lion Camel Ridge" plot that was filmed in the second part of the original time and space, "The Sequel to Journey to the West", and Li Chengru played the Little Zuanfeng and the Chief Zuanfeng!
Although he was wearing a half-hood, his face was still recognizable and could be seen at a glance.

Now, he was holding his child and smiling with wrinkles all over his face, and he was showing off to Xia Tian: "Look, my son, does he look like me?"

Xia Tian: Better not! Uh, it’s not good if it doesn’t look like that…

Xia Tian asked, "Have you chosen a name?"

"Wake up! Li Dahai!"

Xia Tian: ...Okay! As long as you are happy.

……

On June 6, Old Palo returned to the United States.

After sending him on the plane, Xia Tian went back and started moving with Milan. It took them several days to finish moving.

I have been busy with the old Palo and Journey to the West crews during this period, but Dachun has been running around more.

He told me that the Grand View Garden will be completed soon and the crew will move there to live and film soon.

But I heard from Mother Xia that there seems to be some trouble in Dachun’s family?

Xia Tian asked Dachun and Dachun smiled.

"It's okay. My mom urged me to get married, but she was wrong!"

It turned out that Dachun did a good job of keeping the secret, and Chun's mother had never known about Xiaoguo's existence. So she was anxious. Other people's children got married soon after they started working, so what should I do with this big fool in my family? She was anxious.

Xia Tian: Did you make the wrong request? How could this be wrong?
This is what happened~
Chun Ma: I'll find someone to help you, and you can get married this year~
Dachun: Does it count if I didn’t even go there?
Chun Ma: I’m so powerful, just take a piece of clothing!
Dachun took a look and opened his coat: It’s okay if they are not my clothes?

At this time, the two looked at Chun's father who had just walked in from the door.

Chun's father didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet, and asked with a smile: Hey, what are you doing with my shirt? !

Then isn't this a contradiction?
Xia Tian: This... I can't help you, just wait to die~
I moved a few days ago but I didn’t dare let my family know. After all, Milan was going to move in, and I didn’t know how to explain it to Mother Xia.

Finally, I finished the work. There are many houses with two courtyards.

In summer, there is also a separate study, music room and collection room.

Most of the furniture is solid wood furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The house is also equipped with a water-jacketed stove and radiator for heating, and there is also running water and sewer.

Although I still have to light the stove myself in winter, it is already very convenient.

In the summer, while sorting out her collection of books, putting them away or placing them on the bookshelf, she thought about the people who sold their houses and moved abroad.

I wonder what they felt when they sold their courtyard houses and went to the United States to work hard for half their lives, but came back to find that the money they earned was not enough to buy back half a courtyard house?
What a black humor story~
After packing up, Xia Tian took out the Guqin that she bought and played with it for a while.
Play and sing:

“Spring has flowers, autumn has the moon, summer has cool breezes, and winter has snow.

If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world. "This is "Wu Men Guan" by Wu Men Hui Kai, a Zen master in the Southern Song Dynasty. Singing it now is quite in line with the mood of summer~
……

The crew of "A Dream of Red Mansions" moved here to film, and the Grand View Garden was also opened to the public. Except for the courtyard where the filming was taking place, all other areas were open to the public.

Although the ticket price is 1 yuan, which is much more expensive than the Summer Palace, many people come here because of the name of "Grand View Garden".

Although some people were disappointed after watching it, there was still an endless stream of people coming to watch it.

In the summer, those who were in the "Red Mansion" did not need to buy tickets and could come and go freely because they had a small badge issued by the crew hanging on their chests.

Many tourists come not only to see the Grand View Garden in the book, but also to see the actors.

For example, Ouyang shaved his head to make it easier to wear a wig and put on makeup.

The onlookers shouted to him: The actor who played the little monk!

"Hey~ You haven't been here for a long time?" As soon as Xia Tian arrived at the Grand View Garden, Xiao Xu teased her.

Seeing her turn around and "carefully observe" a flower, Xia Tian smiled and explained, "I was acting in the Journey to the West crew some time ago, and some foreign friends came, plus I was moving, so I was really busy."

“What a busy man.”

She turned around and smiled faintly, "I thought you were busy making money. Now you can hear your tape in the streets and alleys."

Xia Tian asked her, "Did you listen?"

"I heard that Zhang Li spent eight dollars to buy it!"

This is a price increase by scalpers!

"Which song do you like?"

"I like them all...but my favorite is "By the Waterside"~"

Xiaoxu smiled cunningly. Well, she also liked Teresa Teng's songs very much, although she couldn't sing them well.

The song "I Smile When I See You" was called "poetry recitation with music" by Xia Tian.
After meeting Xiaoxu, she asked Xia Tian to go see Zhang Li, saying that she was troubled.

After asking Xiaoxu, I found out that it was Zhang Li’s original unit that strongly requested her to go back.

This was definitely not due to the company, Xiao Xu said with certainty: "It must be her family who wanted her to go back."

Zhang Li's parents were against her acting in Dream of the Red Chamber. Her parents always opposed it, but she insisted and was stubborn!

She had a reason for this idea.

After graduating from primary school at the age of 12, she became a cultural soldier. She even carried an oxygen tank with her team to the outposts in the Himalayas and performed for border guards...

Now, the parents used some "little tricks".

But no matter what, the protagonist of the Red Mansion cannot leave!

Xia Tian first went to see Director Wang, and then talked with the production director Ren Dahui, and then he had a better idea of ​​the situation.

When I met Zhang Li, she still looked a little sad.

"I heard about it. Don't worry. I just came back from Director Ren. The matter has been resolved..."

The unit's issues have been resolved.

Originally, the Red Mansion crew had two quotas for staying in Beijing, and one had been given to Dongfang Wenying because of the cameraman Li Yaozong.

The other one has not been found yet, so I'll give it to Zhang Li.

Her work relationship was transferred to Yanjing, and she stayed at CCTV after the filming.

After hearing this, Zhang Li looked at Xia Tian and smiled.

……

There will be her play in the afternoon - Xiaoxiang Pavilion Baochai shyly cages the red musk beads~
When Baoyu was looking at Baochai's bracelet, he saw her white wrist and was fascinated by it. He praised her as looking like Yang Guifei.

Although Zhang Li’s arms and hands are white, they are not plump enough, especially her hands, which are actually a little thin.

Director Wang felt that it was inappropriate and different from the original. There was no "unable to take off" feeling of fullness in the original.

Finally, all the actresses in the play were called together to look at their hands one by one, and it was decided to let Hu Zehong (Xichun) be Baochai's hand substitute.

Makeup artist Da Yang carefully put makeup on her hands and twisted the sweat hairs with cotton thread. She was busy for more than half an hour - a masterpiece!
However, when taking the photo, Ouyang's expression was not obsessed enough.

Yes, who would be obsessed with a hand? It's not Kira Yoshikage.

If it were feet, maybe some readers would.

Then Xia Tian ran to Ouyang's ear and said, "Think about it! Such plump and white hands, do they look like braised pork knuckle?!"

Braised pork knuckle? How long has it been since you last had it? At least a year?

When Ouyang thought about it this way, he became obsessed!
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
