Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

Fortunately, the reason is readily available. Tao Qingfeng recalled the teachings of his mentor Xu Tangweng, and said: "My teacher said that seal and script have a dignified and healthy atmosphere. Xingkai grass has a weak spirit and bones. To learn calligraphy, you should start from the front stele. And Han Dynasty Most of the steles use seal script as the forehead."

Of course, this is a view limited by the times. After all, Xingkaicao in Dachu's era has not been valued and promoted.Tao Qingfeng knew that the views of modern people should be different, but he could only bite the bullet and say this. Anyway, it can be inferred that it is the habit of different schools.

Xu Guiyuan smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I was also forced to start practicing from official script when I was a child. Then I went to act and haven't written for more than ten years. I picked it up again after I retired. I still think it's easier to practice from regular script, but I can't stand it anymore. I'm used to it. That day, Fenghao saw your handwriting at a glance, which looked a bit like mine, so he sent me a WeChat message."

Zhang Fenghao blushed silently, he actually didn't remember clearly, he didn't expect a blind cat to bump into a dead mouse.

Tao Qingfeng couldn't help asking: "Since regular script is said to be easy to practice, why were you forced to practice from official script when you were young?"

Xu Guiyuan said: "Because this is our family motto. In ancient times, our family had a famous Confucianist who wrote a collection of calligraphers called "Jade Sea Shuangji", and strongly advocated that calligraphers should pay more attention to steles. , Shaolintie. I still feel that the inscriptions are all ancient inscriptions from the Central Plains, and "North Stele and South Tie*" are used to represent different sects... Most of the North Stele are seal script and official script. Our family kept it as a family motto. The children in the family all Start with the stele and lay a strong foundation. Just like what you said just now...you won't be soft and boneless. I think your first teacher should also be a member of the 'Northern School'."

Xu Guiyuan was surprised to find that Tao Qingfeng's eyes were red. He stared blankly at the old lady with white hair on the bedside, and exhausted all his self-control to keep his voice from choking, and said, "Yes. My teacher is indeed from here... Seeing you, I think of his old man. I feel a little...excited. Please...forgive me."

Every time Tao Qingfeng paused, he was trying to control his emotions, not to really lose his composure.But it's too difficult. It's too difficult to keep calm after hearing the news of an old friend suddenly. The author of "Two Jade Seas" is Tao Qingfeng's teacher Xu Tangweng.The kindly white-haired old lady in front of her was probably a descendant of the Xu family... she met unexpectedly.Tao Qingfeng tried his best to control himself, so that his knees did not give up and he fell to the ground.

In the previous life, Xu Tangweng was the one who was targeted by the emperor during the Xiyuan coup. I don't know if he died at that time, or the scene was bleak... Memories of the past suddenly came to my mind, and I thought of a lonely lamp in the ancestral hall after his death.Tao Qingfeng's tears almost rolled down his eyes.

But Xu Guiyuan and Zhang Fenghao thought that Tao Qingfeng just missed his teacher who taught him calligraphy, and they both thought that this child was a person who valued love and righteousness, and came back to comfort him, thinking that his teacher passed away naturally.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws. The dead are gone." Xu Guiyuan said, "At my age, I don't know how many years I can live..."

"Teacher," Zhang Fenghao said in a reproachful tone, "How about a long life?"

"Of course wishes are good. But when it really comes, nothing can stop it." Xu Guiyuan said to Tao Qingfeng again, "Don't sit still, write a letter and see if he is as handsome as a human being."

This humorous remark made Tao Qingfeng laugh out of tears, and quickly adjusted his complicated mood and got up.He was led by the middle-aged woman to the desk under the window opposite the couch.There are various inscriptions for copying.Calligraphy paper ranges from cheap raw-edged paper to precious rice paper.In the middle is a large pen holder with more than a dozen pendants hanging on it.There are two or three inkstones around.

"Choose whatever you want." Grandma Xu raised her head and said, "It depends on your habits."

Tao Qingfeng took a deep breath and felt as if he had returned to the countryside of Nanshan. He once stood at the desk of his teacher Xu Tangweng's house, learning to write stroke by stroke with the teacher.In the beginning, he was too tall to write on the desk, so he had to stand on a wooden stool.

Tao Qingfeng turned around and asked, "The great Confucianist who wrote "Jade Sea Two Jar" by your ancestor was Mr. Xu Futai, right?"

Tao Qingfeng didn't dare to call the teacher by his name directly, so he used his official name.

Xu Guiyuan nodded approvingly: "So you know."

Tao Qingfeng restrained his complicated emotions, and continued with difficulty: "The old man...has left a lot of writings, is there an article called "Once Upon a Time"?"

Tao Qingfeng has fully learned the lesson, and before reciting it out, he must confirm whether "Once Upon a Time" has been handed down to modern times. If not, he still has a way out to say that he accidentally remembered it wrong.You can't make the mistakes that you always exposed in front of Yan Tan before.

Xu Guiyuan smiled and said: "You remember it well. This article is included in Xu Tangweng's full-text collection "The Complete Works of Quotations from Sixi"."

Tao Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to stare at the snow-white rice paper. It seemed to others that he was recalling the words.However, Tao Qingfeng's eyes were only extremely tender and nostalgic, feeling the long-lost "reunion".

Although after so many generations, Xu Guiyuan's appearance is not at all like Xu Tangweng.When she mentioned her ancestors, she only sounded like a strange descendant, not Tao Qingfeng's cautious tone of avoiding teachers' names and not daring to call them directly.But Tao Qingfeng still felt that when he turned his head, the teacher with pale hair and pale face, but with an old spirit, would still be sitting on the wicker chair, shaking the cattail fan...

Tao Qingfeng calmed down and chose a brush that was straight and moderate.He took the ink stick from the side of the inkstone, poured some clear water into the double pool inkstone in the middle, and rubbed the ink.Modern ink sticks are particularly easy to melt and more evenly distributed.Tao Qingfeng merged the brush strokes on the inkstone, and then spread out a piece of snow-white rice paper to write with ink marks.

"Occasionally Sending All Students" is an article to persuade students who are just beginning to learn poetry to pay attention to writing and guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and avoid empty and absurd ideas.Tao Qingfeng wrote on the side, "Get rid of the stereotypes, judge the truth. The simple is expensive, and the superficial is cheap. One avoids stuffing, two avoids allegories, and three avoids obtrusive sentences...※" The teachings he received back then are vivid again.

By the time Tao Qingfeng wrote "The rhyme is sonorous, natural and clean. Explaining the attitude...※", this article of more than [-] words has already been written on six sheets of rice paper.And he wrote it down in one breath, without stopping the pen except for dipping the ink.There are no horizontal and vertical grids on the rice paper, and he has not folded and indented, but it is naturally written vertically, with equal spacing, which looks pleasing to the eye.After Tao Qingfeng finished writing the last sentence "...the external world is unpredictable, don't worry about it, and the literary heart can be prepared※", these seven consecutive "Ou Ji Zhu Sheng" seem to be directly regarded as works of art.

"Okay, that's great." Apart from appreciating his pen and ink, Xu Guiyuan was even more surprised that Tao Qingfeng could memorize them all.She stared at Tao Qingfeng and said kindly: "Can you give me this calligraphy? Once every ten years, the descendants of the Xu family will gather their clan members to worship their ancestors. I will let my nephews take them back to their hometown and bring them to the ancestral hall."

Tao Qingfeng was finishing his pen, and when he heard the words, his heart was turbulent again, and he couldn't help saying: "I want to do what I want, I dare not ask you... Then I will add a few words at the end."

So Tao Qingfeng wrote "Master Xu's Respect" and signed it as: Nanshan Tao Qingfeng.

After Tao Qingfeng finished writing, he asked Xu Guiyuan in a trembling voice, "Where is the hometown where your ancestors worshiped their ancestors?"

Grandma Xu said: "In Xinnan County, Province C, it's a small place. But it was quite famous in ancient times, and there have been many Jinshi."

Tao Qingfeng had never heard of this name, but from ancient times to the present, place names have changed from time to time.Perhaps it had other names in ancient times.This requires map comparison.Tao Qingfeng remembered that Xu Tangweng retired to his hometown and lived with his family in a place called Nanshan.Therefore, it is Xiangze's fortune to meet a mentor when I was young.But Tao Qingfeng is not sure, the "Xinnan County" and "Nanshan" that Xu Guiyuan said are the same place.Because Xu's descendants may also migrate, or go back many generations, and set their ancestral home to another place.

Tao Qingfeng wanted to find out more information about this place, so he asked, "How was this place famous in ancient times?"

Xu Guiyuan continued to introduce: "In the past, the largest 'pottery hall' in Dachu was built in 'Xinnan County'. After several dynasties, at least some relics remained. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country established a cultural relic protection area. "

Tao Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he heard "Tao Guan" again. This is the academy that Yan Dansheng built for the world to study Confucianism when he was serving as the Imperial Academy to sacrifice wine.In the hometown where the Xu clan recognized their ancestors, there is actually the biggest relic.He really wanted to go and see it.

Tao Qingfeng said: "Then this 'Taoguan Cultural Relics Protection Area', can I visit it?"

Xu Guiyuan said: "It used to be possible. But there is nothing to see in fact. Because most of it is buried underground. When I went there, there were only some ruins on the surface. But recently the geology there is unstable, and the National Institute of Archaeology has begun to 'protect Moved to work. My nephew is from the Department of Archeology of Huada University, and he was there recently."

Tao Qingfeng was a little nervous and asked, "What is...geological instability? Relocation?"

Xu Guiyuan said: "That place is said to be close to an earthquake zone. There is also a mountain torrent outlet. The geological layer is also relatively loose. When the relics were buried underground, the state did not excavate them and focused on protection. But recently, it seems that the mountain has further loosened. The Institute of Archeology is going to dig out the remains, sort out the parts with historical value, and transport them to other places for protection.

Only then did Tao Qingfeng heave a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Then wait for the Archaeological Institute to extract the cultural relics."

Zhang Fenghao had been drinking tea for quite a long time, and he heard the words: "I brought Qingfeng here today, and it was really the right one. It was the first time I came here, and I had such a friendly chat with the teacher. Teacher, Qingfeng is actually not my junior brother. He is only 21 years old this year, and he hasn't taken a major yet."

Xu Guiyuan looked at Tao Qingfeng in surprise and said, "I thought you were Fenghao's younger brother, and you've all graduated now. Haven't you studied for a major? Are you planning to do this now?"

Seeing Zhang Fenghao nodding his head, Tao Qingfeng said knowingly: "I really want to go to the film school to improve my education. But I have a contract with the company, which is a ten-year contract with a very long term. I want to use my salary to go to Do something. Don't know how to balance trade-offs."

Zhang Fenghao added: "Qingfeng won a lawsuit with his former agent not long ago. Xinghui Entertainment Company should want to train him in the future. It's not easy to let go of this situation."

Xu Guiyuan said: "Isn't improving education a kind of training direction? Now that you have signed a long-term contract, you should look further. Going to the film academy to improve your education and acting skills, how many people can you know. Looking at the current Huaguo film and television industry, Most of the country is from his alma mater. Fenghao is an acquaintance wherever he goes, and it has been smooth for the past ten years. If you really want to study, you should discuss it with the company."

Of course, Zhang Fenghao has actually gone through a lot of open and dark arrows to get to where he is today, but he has indeed avoided many vortexes by relying on the platform of his alma mater, and of course he will report the good news to Xu Guiyuan.Keban is not omnipotent, and there are also people who are very poor when they come out.But it still depends on the individual.Zhang Fenghao felt that with Tao Qingfeng's qualifications, if he could be on this platform, it would definitely be of great benefit.

Tao Qingfeng expressed his doubts: "However, I have co-actors around me who were reported by my classmates for filming during school. It seems that the economic contract cannot be fulfilled during school. The company should not agree." For example, "Dong Xiadong Sun Wuyou, the original heroine of "The Monarch Witch", left the crew because she couldn't balance work and study.

Zhang Fenghao said: "Depending on the situation, if you take on a big production that needs to be in the group for three or four months, and you don't go to school or take exams, you will definitely violate the school's regulations. But if it's short-term guest appearances, commercials, trade shows, variety show guests Or filming during the winter and summer vacations, who can comment? When I was in school, many producers came to the campus to audition for supporting roles. Make enough money for the company. Just arrange the cycle."

Xu Guiyuan held up a roll of newspaper and tapped Zhang Fenghao's head lightly, "That's why I even skipped my class once, so I don't want to teach others."

Tao Qingfeng couldn't help laughing, looked at Zhang Fenghao, an evergreen tree in the film and television industry, and whispered aggrievedly: "I skipped the fewest of your classes. Just that one time..."

Xu Guiyuan knocked Zhang Fenghao's head enough, and said to Tao Qingfeng: "Little Tao, you can think about this issue earlier. This is not only the case in the entertainment industry, but in all industries. The higher you go, the more important the platform is. The Huaguo Film Academy in my era It’s still not called this name. It was formerly called the First Military Art School. When I graduated, there was no market economy, and I entered the Marine Political Song and Dance Troupe as a literary soldier... I am young, have no background and experience, and my acting skills are still young. Why? People will choose me as the heroine, isn't it because there are no other 'college students' in the group, am I in the light of this platform? What is a platform? Go to the vegetable market to buy hairy crabs and cabbage. Straw ropes for hairy crabs and straw for cabbage The ropes are all the same, and they are all straw ropes. But when tied with hairy crabs, it is the price of hairy crabs, and tied with cabbage, it is the price of cabbage. This is the role of the platform.”

Tao Qingfeng nodded thoughtfully. In fact, he also understood this truth in his previous life, otherwise he would not have taken the imperial examination path of managing the world and benefiting the people.However, what Xu Guiyuan said today further pointed out that this truth has not changed since ancient times.Tao Qingfeng thought to himself, he shouldn't miss this opportunity.

"Mr. Xu, I will go to the company to discuss the long-term plan for the development of the platform. Thank you for your inspiration. Brother Meng Hao kindly brought me to know you today. It is a very lucky thing for me." Tao Qingfeng also thanked Zhang Fenghao nodded.

Tao Qingfeng thought in his heart: Not only for this life, but also for the Tao Li teacher who failed to repay him in the previous life, finally he can find a strand of floating silk that has not been cut off, and it still exists in this world, so that he can remember it.Tao Qingfeng thought to himself that in the future when the festival comes, he will have a direction to gaze and pray.Not only "Once Upon a Time", he will write down the literary theories written by Xu Tangweng, whether they have been handed down or not, one after another, and take one after another to the place called "Xinnan County", Burn it to his old man.

Tao Qingfeng and Zhang Fenghao visited almost the same time. When they were going back to attend the red carpet premiere dinner and welcome the grand and stunning debut of "Queen of Guining", they didn't know that this historical film, which was about to be recorded in the annals of history, would bring a big surprise to the industry. What a sleepless night of surprise.
