Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

The part where Tao Qingfeng and Xia Xinghen have more rivalries is in the third volume "Xue Ye", Yun Xianglei recovers from his illness, is sent to the Soviet Union, and meets Yu Song in the Kremlin.The most tender part is Yu Song reciting "Spring" from "Lermontov" to Yun Xianglei.

Whenever spring thaws, the ice cubes rush along the turbulent river.

Whenever near and far in the pasture, patches of black soil are exposed.

In my inexperienced heart, I see nature getting younger day by day.

As time passes by my peaceful cheeks, it will take away my face that is as bright as a flame.

Large tracts of snow birch trees grow in the vast black fields.Yun Xianglei could only see the natural scenery through the windows inside the red wall.While listening to Yu Song's poems, the firelight of the fireplace reflected on his vicissitudes of life, revealing a sad smile at the end of the mountain.

"The message of spring...I can't see it for a useless person like me. I can't even get up to look at the scenery outside the window."

That was the most decadent, confused and painful stage for Yun Xianglei in this drama - the second Kuomintang-Communist War, later known as the War of Liberation, was in its intensified stage.After finally driving away the Japanese devils, the land of the motherland is still devastated by the war.Yun Xianglei used to be the head of the national army, and had a life-and-death friendship with Fang Ming, an underground party member of the Communist Party of China, and a devil-fighter--Fang Ming died in the battle of crossing the river.Although Yun Xianglei has resigned from the national army and gradually leaned towards the Communist Party, he still feels confused about the future of the motherland.

To use the description in the script...to leave the country, to leave the country, to see thousands of miles away, to be young for a moment, to dream far away...

Even if Yu Song brought him vigor, vitality and new hope, it was still not enough to rescue Yun Xianglei from despair.It was later that Yun Xianglei struggled to become a "wheelchair worker" and completely integrated into the "proletariat", his thoughts gradually came out of the quagmire, and he had the courage and hope to return to the new China.

This scene was a literary one, so Ni Ting didn't torment Xia Xinghen, because there was no triggering condition for beating someone excitedly, Yun Xianglei just lay motionless on the hospital bed.Tao Qingfeng recited poems also very smoothly. He understood that this kind of literary subtle tone and emotion has natural advantages.

This time Ni Ting finished directing the scene step-by-step and normally, and left the set early without saying anything.The staff of other groups, such as photography and recording, also packed their things silently.Xia Xinghen was still lying on the bed, maintaining a motionless posture in the camera, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Tao Qingfeng already knew about those things, and he also knew that Xia Xinghen couldn't get out of Yun Xianglei now, so the address he walked over was still: "Brother Yun."

Xia Xinghen turned to look at Tao Qingfeng, showing a more confused expression. Even if what he said was not a line, Tao Qingfeng felt that it was what Yun Xianglei said at the stage when he was not good at acting and lost the meaning of life: "If It would be great if you were really Yu Song."

Tao Qingfeng paused, and persuaded: "'You can't get out of the show' is not a curse. You are not a monster. Have you tried to control it? If God gave you this talent, it proves that you are a natural actor, and you have the responsibility to use it well. This power, rather than being swallowed by it."

The truly top-notch "experiential" actors are able to retract and release freely.And in the final analysis, whether it is "experience school" or "performance school" is just a methodology.Artists even combine the two methods.Xia Xinghen said that he didn't count as "acting", but it also meant that he didn't really master the best acting skills.However, he was piled up with so many movie star halos, which made his psychological problems more and more serious.

Xia Xinghen even sneered, and spoke like Yun Xianglei's feeble tone that lost all hope: "That's really nice." His eyes were filled with water, and Tao Qingfeng, despite his preparations, was still caught. He is so devoted to the role that he can't get out, and he looks pitiful, weak, and self-abandoned, which is frightening-this is the same as the momentum he used to stab the soldiers in the concession before, it is no different from heaven and earth.Others have experienced more than ten years of vicissitudes and changes in the play, and he will change within a few days.

"...According to the meteorological records, the day I was born was cloudy, and the stars were covered. I couldn't see them all the time."

Judging from Xia Xinghen's words and expressions, Tao Qingfeng had problems with his mental state and mental state all year round.But Tao Qingfeng couldn't give up so easily, because——

"That's not fate, it's not something out of control. Others have opinions about you, but they don't know your secrets. You need to explain, or have someone explain it for you. You can't just say nothing." Tao Qingfeng comforted in a low voice he.

Xia Xinghen sighed lowly, showing the same sadness as in the camera: "Explain what? Is there anything worth arguing? People are hurt by me, and anger is my own. If I don't have that kind of seed, no matter what they do Catalysis doesn't happen either."

Tao Qingfeng also took advantage of Yun Xianglei's lack of lethality in this scene, so he dared to discuss with Xia Xinghen: "You have to distinguish between the inside and the outside of the play, you must distinguish. In the last scene of "Snow Hua", Yun Xianglei Misunderstood Yu Song, wounded him, left the Soviet Union, and went back to China. At that time, Ni Tingwan made another trick..."

Tao Qingfeng really has a strong desire to survive, and he is afraid that Ni Ting will toss Xia Xinghen, even if it is a prop.Xia Xinghen actually beat Tao Qingfeng in a fake play, which is a real "beating of the same group of actors".

And even though Tao Qingfeng has practiced Taijiquan and swords...his body is still very weak.

Xia Xinghen frowned deeply: "You can do it yourself. I really can't control it. You should prepare more, wrap some soft cushions on your body, and prepare some bruise medicine."

Even such blood-vomiting rhetoric is actually very rare for Xia Xinghen.He has always been a "completely indifferent to others" existence.To put it bluntly, he has disregarded other people's lives and has a bad record of beating people so many times. He himself is not innocent.Being able to tell Tao Qingfeng like this is really his limit.

Tao Qingfeng sighed: "You can get into the role, you are the spokesperson of the screenwriter. But why can't you see through the central idea of ​​this "Return to the West": Return from the East to the West, the road is long. Whether it is Yun Xianglei, Fang Ming, Sang Xiaohui, and Yu Song are all passers-by walking on the long road to find their respective destinations. The world is long and divergent, and those who have not reached it are called detainees, and those who can walk are called return. When you leave the role, you It's still Xia Xinghen, you think it's empty there, but it's not, it's still your return...don't give up..."

Xia Xinghen stared at Tao Qingfeng with a complicated expression, like a terminally ill person struggling to think.Those words indeed brought a certain breath of hope like the poem in "Spring".Xia Xinghen suddenly gasped violently, as if a patient with difficulty breathing had been taken off the ventilator, and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Better?" Tao Qingfeng asked after he was completely calm.

"Switching to the next scene." Xia Xinghen's face was indifferent, and his voice was not so weak. The next scene he was referring to was that Yun Xianglei's health had improved a bit, and he was pushed in a wheelchair to the frozen Volga River to listen to the river water thaw. the sound of.At that time, Yun Xianglei's mentality was much brighter.As a result, Xia Xinghen's tone became much brighter.

Tao Qingfeng was taken aback: It turns out that Xia Xinghen divided the character's mood changes between different scenes in this way.Lived as a character, without himself.It turned out to be such a seamless operation.

What Xia Xinghen didn't tell Tao Qingfeng was that after listening to his words just now, the "timing of role change" that he had to prepare for suddenly appeared blank for a moment, as if there was some kind of self-will in his heart that wanted to break free.He was at a loss in his mind, and had to quickly fill in the role of the next scene to suppress that strange emotion.It's as if "Xia Xinghen" opened a gap from behind the frozen ice...

"Say a little more." Xia Xinghen said weakly to Tao Qingfeng: "Say a little more, self-will."

Tao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses. Although Tan Zhongtian's hidden worry of "what would happen if he wasn't an 'experience school'" flashed for a moment, it was immediately overshadowed by more important things.

The real hall-level experience school is "free to come and go". Xia Xinghen couldn't "come out" normally, perhaps because he was too young and had entered too many roles before he lived out himself.Those characters have lives that are incredibly complete, and he gets experiences beyond that level.As a result, self-will is tightly sealed in the deepest part of the heart, and has since become the most convenient tool for screenwriters.But since he is so talented, Tao Qingfeng thought, if he got the right guidance and adopted the right method, how could he not be able to get out.It was because someone wanted him to maintain this state and deliberately refused to help him.

So Tao Qingfeng enlightened more things according to his "self-will". He already had a solid foundation in theory, and he was familiar with a lot of knowledge of the life wisdom of ancient sages, so he enlightened Xia Xinghen on "living the meaning of oneself". This simple yet profound proposition couldn't be more appropriate.

Although he could only talk about it metaphysically, Tao Qingfeng clearly felt that after talking, Xia Xinghen calmed down a lot.Although he still didn't know whether it had an obvious effect, or whether Xia Xinghen's "recovery stage" character's mood was relatively smooth at the moment.

However, because Tao Qingfeng's views are mostly derived from the old Confucian knowledge, although there are many simple and profound life wisdoms, they are obviously lacking in the direction of "modern people's spiritual beliefs".I have reservations about Xia Xinghen's touch effect, because his worldview has already been finalized.

Tao Qingfeng only knew that he had to hurry up.Because the scene of "misunderstanding and beating someone" is getting closer and closer.

In this regard, Tao Qingfeng asked Yan Tan again about "how to reshape modern people's values" without any psychological burden.

Yan Tan asked very keenly: "Is it you? Or someone else?"

Tao Qingfeng didn't want to reveal Xia Xinghen's secrets, even though they were semi-public in the entertainment circle, but Yan Dan was an outsider, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

Tao Qingfeng hesitated for a while, and said, "What if it's me? You know, I've formed a so-called 'mindset' from the education I've received since I was a child. Is there that kind...in a short period of time, that can make a person mentally and emotionally affected by comparison Mainstream positive values, a way to find your own meaning?"

Yan Tan thought for a while in silence, and then said half aloud: "This kind of request. Then why don't you join the party? When the time comes to write a bunch of ideological reports, it will still raise people's awareness."

Tao Qingfeng: ...

Yan Tan added: "However, to join the party, you generally need to have a party branch or something? I don't know if your entertainment company has such a structure. Or maybe there should be another way for celebrities to join the party? I don't know, or I Can you ask me a question?"

Tao Qingfeng gave a "hmm" and said, "Thank you." Then he said in a low voice, "I know about this kind of thing, and I can always get the right help if I ask you."

Yan Dan smiled and said, "I'm very happy if you want me. I wish you would be more..." Yan Dan's voice became low and magnetic, "Rely on me more."

He said these words softly and tenderly, with sentimental tenderness in his tone.Hearing it in Tao Qingfeng's ears, he was in a trance, feeling the wind blowing on his face, and unconsciously said: "It should be each other..." After a while, he regained consciousness and realized what he had just said.He couldn't help feeling a little hot on his face: Tao Qingfeng subconsciously felt that he shouldn't be helped by Yan Dan unilaterally, but hoped that he and the other party could help each other.But when combined with the context, it seems to have another meaning.

But it was rare for Yan Tan not to respond on the other end of the phone, and he became obsessed with listening for a while.

Tao Qingfeng didn't hear Yan Tan's response, so he said cautiously: "You... Is your signal okay? Actually, I don't..." Tao Qingfeng wanted to explain something, but felt it was pretentious.

It was only then that Yan Dan woke up like a dream, "Yeah, yes." His words were as dexterous as Yan Dan's, and what he said was only the simplest language under the turmoil of his heart, "I feel so happy." After finishing this sentence, His beating heartbeat became louder and louder, and suddenly he felt a splitting headache and dizziness, and Yan Tan's legs softened and he knelt down.The phone fell to the ground with a "slap" and hung up.

Here it is again, that splitting headache that seems to split a person in half.Last time, Yan Tan almost fainted from the pain, his head seemed to be stuffed with heavy stones, as if he had been filled with a lot of things that did not belong to him, but he couldn't see what those things were.It seemed to be covered by something, Yan Dan thought absurdly: Is it necessary to pass out from the pain to lift the curtain and see the huge and heavy mystery below...

With great difficulty, Yan Dan took out a painkiller and swallowed it, which temporarily stopped the headache.When he had a headache last time, something seemed to be playing in his mind, but it was so painful that he couldn't see clearly.This time, there are also vague things floating in my mind.Yan Tan tried hard to wake himself up.Picking up the dropped glasses and putting them on again, I found myself trembling all over.

After the first attack last time, he went to the hospital for a careful examination, but there was no problem.The doctor suspected that he himself was under too much work pressure.But Yan Tan knew it well: it wasn't so.He does his job with ease.Maybe this has something to do with those things about Da Chu that he dreamed about...

Tao Qingfeng hung up the phone after hearing Yan Dan's words, and was still a little puzzled... He originally thought that with Yan Dan's style, he would not let people go easily.Although this embarrassment and ambiguity did not expand, Tao Qingfeng was relieved for no reason.

Two days later, Tao Qingfeng received a call: it turned out to be from Mr. Dong Jianjun from the party school.He said that after receiving a call from Yan Tan, he knew that Tao Qingfeng wanted to join the party.I asked a friend to ask, and learned that the process of joining the party is different for celebrities, and they need a qualified party introducer.Mr. Dong was very happy to help out and be Tao Qingfeng's introduction to the party.

Although Tao Qingfeng originally intended to ask for Xia Xinghen, he just didn't expect Mr. Enthusiastic Mr. Dong to move so quickly.On the phone, Tao Qingfeng would be unable to explain Xia Xinghen's situation for a while.He responded gratefully, and said with an idea: "Mr. Dong, would you like to come to Taohuawu to relax? I don't have many announcements on the set. You come here to understand the situation?"

Tao Qingfeng also thought about how busy people are usually, so it would not be easy to take a special trip here, and said, "You don't have to worry about anything, I will take care of all the board and lodging here, but I don't know if you have time..."

Teacher Dong said: "You don't need to worry about this, Xiaotao. You may not know that the film and television city filmed in "Return to the West" is a cultural unit affiliated to the provincial government. The people in charge of the cultural industry trade union in Li will go to the organization department to learn the spirit of the [-]th National Congress, and I just arranged for me to give them a class. Xiao Yan means that after the class, come out for a meal. Don’t interfere with the board and lodging. There are regulations. We dare not enjoy it. How about we discuss this matter carefully then?"

Mr. Dong said again: "Old Tian will also go to the meeting that day, and I will call him on the way. Did you meet that time?"

Tao Qingfeng agreed: "Okay. Then can I... bring another actor colleague? It's the male lead Xia Xinghen. He has won many awards and is also highly regarded by Mr. Tian."

If Xia Xinghen could be found an affiliation in the party organization, would he not be hurt by the tug-of-war between the two forces?

Mr. Dong was taken aback. Although he was too enthusiastic about some things (such as the address of others), he had a keen intuition in other aspects, "If you are called the male lead, then it is not good to call him the director." ? If both the director and the leading actor are here, this matter will be less simple, let’s forget it..."

The meaning of these words is quite clear. Mr. Dong helped Tao Qingfeng, mostly because of Yan Yan's sake, and he only had something to do with Tao Qingfeng.

Tao Qingfeng agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I don't really understand these things, thank you for reminding me."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Qingfeng thought deeply. Anyway, his original purpose was to understand the mainstream values ​​because of his lack of knowledge reserves and shortcomings in enlightening others.Now that Mr. Dong doesn't really want to expand his personal relationship.Tao Qingfeng "joined the party" first, just like Yu Song who showed Yun Xianglei the proletarian overseas industrial assembly line in "Return to the West", and then went to help Xia Xinghen get out of the confused world and find the meaning of his own existence , thereby getting rid of which pains.

In a blink of an eye, it's dinner time.Yan Dan was in charge of this game, but he sent a message saying that there was a traffic jam and he would be late.Please take care of yourself inside first.

Yan Dan decided on the Zhongzhou Hotel, which is directly next to the Provincial Party Committee.Although the eight aspects and four regulations in recent years have reduced a lot of luxury, it is not expensive.But after all, it is a regular place for reception, and it seems to be low-key, but it is considered high-end.The main purpose of deciding here is to make it convenient for Mr. Dong to not have to trek after class.

Tao Qingfeng rushed to the entrance of Zhongzhou Hotel, but witnessed an unexpected "drama".

Tian Zhongtian walked in front with Xia Xinghen, while Tan Zhongtian was still on the phone, he seemed to be apologizing to Mr. Dong with a smile: "It was my fault to kill first and then play... But Xiao Xia is half of my student... Take him today You have learned a lot... You have to call in front of your little friend, oh, Mr. Yan, please bear with me."

Tao Qingfeng felt relieved. Even though he didn't like Tian Zhongtian very much, he didn't know what it meant to bring Xia Xinghen to the relationship, but it was actually what Tao Qingfeng wanted to do. You can't do that kind of thick skin.

Unexpectedly, the thick-skinned one followed behind.

Ni Ting and Zhu Huaguo were more than ten meters away from Tian Zhongtian and Xia Xinghen, staring at them blatantly.The other party ignored them completely and walked into the private room.However, after a while, Ni Ting and Zhu Huaguo pushed the door open and went in without even knocking.

Tao Qingfeng guessed: Maybe Ni Ting and Zhu Huaguo quietly followed after sensing Xia Xinghen's movements.Seeing that the dinner was at the Zhongzhou Hotel next to the Provincial Party Committee, and there was a screenwriter, Tian Zhongtian, he boldly went in.

When Tao Qingfeng entered the room, the scene he observed once made him feel absurd, and he couldn't help laughing.

Dong Jianjun is painfully and stiffly rejecting Ni Ting's various politeness: "Does Teacher Dong play mahjong?" Let’s have dinner soon.” “Mr. Dong, I’m Ping Moutai and I’ll respect you later.” “No, no, it’s against the rules to drink Moutai.” “Mr. Dong talked about the new regulations on anti-corruption and upholding integrity.” “No, no, I’m already I'm tired of talking."

In fact, the Tai Chi conversation between them was not so explicit. It was in Tao Qingfeng's ears that he automatically turned the conversation between Ni Ting and Teacher Dong into a straightforward meaning.The embarrassment of being so far away almost filled the room.

Tao Qingfeng couldn't help walking over, and very clearly asked the point for Mr. Dong, who seemed very disturbed: "Director Ni, I was surprised to see you here. Why did you come?"

Mr. Dong looked at Tao Qingfeng with a sigh of relief. The poor old gentleman was still suspicious just now: Could this guy be invited by Tao Qingfeng?I haven't dealt with them at all, so how come I got together, what kind of stuff.

Tao Qingfeng thought to himself: Xia Xinghen has Tian Zhongtian showing off his old face to make a fuss, so it's probably over after a few more words.But Ni Ting and Zhu Huaguo... dared to have the audacity to come to Yan Tan's dinner.Tao Qingfeng didn't know whether to praise their courage, or - learned a very good modern vocabulary - should he light a candle for them?
