Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

The so-called "the imperial capital is lush and beautiful", refers to the Yinghua Palace in Huajing.On the day Tao Qingfeng finished the exam, he and Yan Dan visited the Yinghua Palace Museum that he had missed for a long time.

At that time, Tao Qingfeng's college entrance examination results hadn't been announced yet, and there were no monsters dancing around in Fanhei. Although he didn't know the details, he was still very confident that he could pass the exam, so he relaxed his mind and went to play.

The Great Chu Yinghua Palace was destroyed by the war at the end of the Great Chu Dynasty. After that, the dynasty changed, and the new dynasty built the palace here.In recent years, Huaguo has renovated the imperial palace of the last feudal dynasty, imitating many records of the palace of the Great Chu in its architecture, and it is still called Yinghua Imperial Palace.But many places are different from before.

At that time, Tao Qingfeng didn't know the joy and turmoil caused by receiving his college entrance examination results more than ten days later. On this fine day, he just wanted to take a deep breath.It's hot in June, Tao Qingfeng wears a peaked cap and sunglasses, so he doesn't have to worry about being recognized.Yan Dan pulled him all the way into the main gate of the Yinghua Palace, where there are five bridges with golden water and jade belts, and only the ninth-five-year-old can walk on the middle bridge.But now that it is open to tourists, they also walk on it. Tao Qingfeng looks at it while walking. The strange and familiar architectural style brings him a sense of novelty and nostalgia.

"Many hall names are reserved," Yan Tan spread out a guide map of the scenic spot in his hand, and pointed it to Tao Qingfeng: "For example, the Taiqing Pavilion in the Shang Dynasty, Wenying Hall and Wuhua Hall near the East and West Palace Gates. But The construction is not the same as that of Dachu at that time, so don’t hold out too much hope.”

Tao Qingfeng only saw the familiar scenery of Jinfeng Qiguan and Changle Xiaolou on the guide map, and he said with emotion: "I don't know if there are still Xuanti in the Lan Palace?"

Xuanti is the head of the rafter decorated with jade, and the head of the rafter is a structure of the eaves. This is a metaphor for the precious jade carvings and other large-scale top-grade jade objects, which were placed under the treasure cover of the palace at that time, and the light would reflect the halo.

Yan Tan shook his head and said with a smile: "No, of course all valuables are placed in the anti-theft glass."

The Xinyinghua Palace is still very large, and you can barely walk around it in a day. There are many cultural relics displayed in each palace, and you can't finish it in ten days and a half months.Yan Tan and the others bought a three-day package ticket, so they can only get a rough idea.

"We will take the east route first today. Now we enter the south gate. When the museum closes in the afternoon, we just go out through the north gate. The hotel is just opposite the north gate." Yan Tan pointed Tao Qingfeng to the route on the guide map, "This The Shuangyu Bridge, Zangshu Pavilion, Lingxing Gate, Wuying Hall, Yushuzhai on the line... have been restored well, and they are more similar to Dachu at that time."

Tao Qingfeng smiled and asked, "Are you so clear?"

"I have been to the Yinghua Palace many times." Yan Tan said: "There is a research institute in the History Department of Huada University in Huajing. I stayed there for a year. At that time, I would come to the Yinghua Palace to see exhibitions every week. Then At that time, I felt that these landscapes seemed to be seen somewhere.”

Tao Qingfeng kept looking for Hongwen Bureau on the guide map, but he didn't see it, so he asked Yan Dan.

"The Hongwen Bureau of the Ministry of Rites has not been restored. The builder probably merged it with the Lingxing Gate and the Wenhua Hall." Yan Dan said: "The institutions of the three provinces and six ministries now only have the Zhongshu Provincial Conference Hall at the side door. We were at that time The stuffy little room was nowhere to be found when the officials listened to the call. It’s a pity.”

At that time, the room was stuffy, and Yan Dan asked Tao Qingfeng curiously: "How can you sit still and not fan?"

Tao Qingfeng looked at Yan Dansheng, who was trying to stand on a chair to open the window while no one else was present, but still couldn't reach it, and could only continue fanning the wind profusely, and said, "Brother Yan, it's natural to be calm when you're calm." .”

Yan Dansheng smiled amusedly, slapped Tao Qingfeng off guard, and said with a smile, "Okay, I know you must be hot too. Look at you, your collar has three layers."

Thinking about the past, Tao Qingfeng had a faint smile on his face, and followed Yan Tan all the way to "revisit the old place".This newly renovated palace museum brought back Tao Qingfeng's memories of the past like a flood, and scenes flooded into his mind... He remembered the first time he entered the Dachu Palace; The first time I went to the Ministry of Rites to report, the first time I opened a manuscript to be edited in the Hongwen Bureau, the first time I knelt down to greet the emperor...

They walked all the way to the Lingxing gate, and seeing that there were three words painted on it, Tao Qingfeng felt emotional: the gate of the most holy teacher, the place where scholars all over the world admire.Next to it is Jixian Pavilion, which houses the statue of Confucius.

Yan Tan pointed to the high place of Jixian Pavilion and said: "This loft is clearly accessible, but I called you at that time, but you refused to go upstairs even though you said nothing."

The scenery there is beautiful, and you can have a panoramic view of the majestic palace. However, from the overlooking angle, you can also see the plaque porch of the Lingxing Gate, and the first floor is dedicated to the saint tablet. He was impeached for "stepping the saint on his feet".

"Brother Guangchuan, you come up too." At that time, Yan Dansheng leaned half of his body out of Zhulan, and greeted with a smile, "Will you watch it with me?"

Tao Qingfeng stood under the Lingxing gate, looked at Yan Dansheng from a distance, shook his head lightly and said, "Tao Sheng, how dare you."

"That's the same sentence again." Yan Tansheng said: "The scenery is so beautiful, it's a pity not to see it. Don't worry, there is no one else, you don't have to be afraid of the silly accusation of 'stomping a saint under your feet'."

Tao Qingfeng's face suddenly changed, and he said anxiously: "Brother Yan, be careful with your words."

"Okay, just listen to you." Yan Tansheng sighed, and then smiled: "One day, I will pull you up to see."

At this moment, Yan Dan took Tao Qingfeng's hand and walked up to the attic, as if remembering Cheng Kong's wish at that time.There were still many tourists in the attic, and Tao Qingfeng no longer had any scruples about following the rules.

The two climbed up to the attic together, and Tao Qingfeng saw the palace walls criss-cross, some ruined walls that clearly preserved relics, but there were more repaired places, spreading out thousands of indistinct mansions.

"I don't want to watch it alone." Yan Dan said indifferently, "I logged in many times later..." He clenched Tao Qingfeng's hand behind his back, feeling the warmth in his palm.

"I'm sorry..." Tao Qingfeng's eyes turned hot, and he squeezed him tightly: "I will never leave you alone again."

After seeing the magnificent view of the palace, they stayed in a hotel outside the North Gate Building at night.The location near the water tower, the decoration design is also quite ancient.The price is not cheap, but reservations are still very popular, and it is difficult for ordinary people to book.But Yan Tan has the VIP card of this hotel, and he has stayed there many times before.This time I brought Tao Qingfeng here, so I naturally chose the best room.

"I'm thinking," Tao Qingfeng said when they tidied up at night and chatted on the bed together: "Although some parts of the Yinghua Palace have been restored, the streets in the inner city of Dachu, which used to be a thoroughfare, cannot be restored. I really miss the noodle shop we went to eat after we came out of Zangshu Pavilion."

It was a small shop that was clean, affordable but delicious. Tao Qingfeng had never been there before.He seldom eats in the inner city, because the land is expensive, and the things sold in the shops there are very expensive.As a result, Yan Tansheng took him to a noodle restaurant that was located in a conspicuous location on the inner city street, but the price was very affordable and the taste was excellent.Tao Qingfeng never forgot.

"And there aren't many people, it's quite quiet. It shouldn't be..." Tao Qingfeng didn't feel something was wrong until now when he thought about it when he looked back. He looked at Yan Dan belatedly, only to find that the other party had been holding back his laughter for a long time .

"That store..." Tao Qingfeng doubted, "Is it your family?"

Yan Tan smiled, and her tone of denial was not convincing at all: "No."

"That's it." Seeing his expression, Tao Qingfeng was almost inseparable, and said with a smile: "You did a good job of hiding it."

Yan Tan stretched out his hand to catch him by the waist, and took Tao Qingfeng down on the bed, and said with a smile, "You don't need snacks, how can you chase someone..."

----------

Early the next morning, Tao Qingfeng saw that the alarm clock was already five o'clock in a daze, and they still had a package ticket for the Yinghua Palace today. Although the museum didn't open until eight o'clock, it was time to get up early to prepare.However, Tao Qingfeng moved his waist and fell back in disbelief.

Half awake and half asleep, he didn't want to move at all, Tao Qingfeng couldn't get angry after thinking about it, and shook Yan Dan dawdly, trying to wake up the culprit.Yan Tan put his hand on his head and patted it, muttering: "...the king doesn't want to go to court early."

Tao Qingfeng fell into a drowsy sleep, and the surrounding furnishings gave him the illusion that he and Yan Dansheng were in Dachu.He was drowsily frightened into a cold sweat, and subconsciously covered Yan Dansheng's mouth, fearing that he would say something wrong.

Being pushed and covered by that, Yan Tan regained consciousness a little, and even laughed, her trembling lips swept across Tao Qingfeng's palm.Tao Qingfeng also gradually woke up, remembering that they were sleeping in a hotel.This is the modern age after a thousand years.Tao Qingfeng's heart suddenly dropped from his throat, he let out a sigh of relief, and let go of his hand.

Tao Qingfeng put his head on Yan Tan's neck, closed his eyes again, put his arms around Yan Tan's warm body, and said, "...If you don't go to bed early, don't go to bed early, Mr. Faint."

------------------

After three days of fun in the Yinghua Palace Museum, Tao Qingfeng unexpectedly received a call from an acquaintance.He rushed to the appointed place, and it turned out to be Xia Xinghen who had returned from recuperation.His expression has become much calmer, and he seems to be recovering from a serious illness. Although his face is pale, his eyes are very clear.

"I was just trying to ask, you really came here regardless of previous suspicions." Xia Xinghen said, "I am very touched, it seems that there is hope for this matter."

Xia Xinghen called Tao Qingfeng, and he said that he wanted to make a new version of "Returning East to West", which was less rigid in the view of history and class confrontation, and discarded the dross and extracted the essence.Xia Xinghen called to ask Tao Qingfeng if he would like to shoot.He assured Tao Qingfeng that the doctor had checked him many times, and that he recovered well physically and mentally, and his mentality was calm, and he would not relapse into madness.

At that time, the film "Returning East to West" had a lot of problems: from the investors, to the director, to the screenwriter, there were problems, and it was disbanded afterwards.

"You still think about this movie? It hurt you so badly." Tao Qingfeng didn't know whether to be surprised or admired.

Xia Xinghen said: "No matter what, art is innocent. This script is also very good, and the role of Yun Xianglei was halfway through filming, and it remained like a thorn in my mind. I always want to have a beginning and an end when doing things."

Tao Qingfeng hesitated and said, "But the script is from Senior Tanaka..."

"He's become a monk." Xia Xinghen said calmly, "He's already authorized me the script and said he won't care about it anymore."

Tao Qingfeng asked again: "But it wasn't someone who invested before, but now..."

"Su Xiaomei is dead." Xia Xinghen's tone was flat, unable to detect emotion: "I don't know who did it, he died abroad. I thought about it for a long time on the island. The reason I became their puppet was because I used to be I can only live in the role. But I am obviously rich, why can't I invest and act in myself?"

Tao Qingfeng smiled: "That's a good idea. What about the script?"

Xia Xinghen said, "I've changed it."

Tao Qingfeng was stunned: "You still change the script??"

Xia Xinghen nodded.Tao Qingfeng thought so too. Xia Xinghen was brought up by the Screenwriters Association, and he himself has a deep understanding of "character" and "story".I spent a year or two on the island revising a script that had a good outline but some flaws.According to his own requirements for acting, not to mention more brilliant, at least not too bad.

Xia Xinghen said: "I deleted Fang Ming, he was originally separated from Fang Zheng. But the main essence of Fang Zheng was changed to Yun Xianglei. Fang Ming can't be of much use in structure. I added a more varied and growing route to Yu Song. Now there are only two main male characters in this book. Would you like to continue playing Yu Song? He is not so facial, I think you will agree."

Tao Qingfeng thought to himself, as long as Yu Song was not allowed to continue to recite those lines that shattered the old culture, he would still be willing to try again.He gave Xia Xinghen some suggestions.

Xia Xinghen changed the subject: "Of course we can discuss it, but it's better if you have the right to speak. Are you willing to participate in the investment? This way I can save some money."

Tao Qingfeng was stunned again: "Me? Participate in investment?"

Xia Xinghen said: "Two to thirty million, can you get it out? To tell you the truth, I'm not bragging, I acted, this return on investment..." He compared the numbers.

Tao Qingfeng was a little confused for a moment, and said, "Let me think about it, but the most important thing is that although you have revised the script, who will the director turn to? Have you decided on a candidate?"

Xia Xinghen was silent for a while, and sighed: "You know, my situation is actually not suitable for a director in the usual sense. But the guidance of other roles in the crew, as well as post-editing and other matters, still need a director to watch over. I I have already invested, acted in, and changed the script by myself, so I can no longer take care of the director, and I can't take care of the energy. But when I can't find the director, I tell them that I only need to direct 'half'."

"Then what should we do?" Tao Qingfeng was still thinking about the investment in a daze. If the return on investment Xia Xinghen said was true, he would be able to repair the road for Haiji Village this year.

However, Xia Xinghen said something that made Tao Qingfeng's brain dizzy and almost crashed:

"You. I want you to be the director."
