1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 202 "The Goddess Splits the View" ~
At this time, the crew of Dream of Red Mansions entered the Grand View Garden on the South Vegetable Garden side. Although it had not been completely repaired, most of it had been repaired, and part of it could be filmed temporarily.

The crew members lived in a guesthouse across from Daguanyuan Road. They went to the garden to film and rehearse during the day and came back to eat and sleep at night.

This South Vegetable Garden is even farther away from Zhuxinzhuang Yandian, about 20 kilometers away!

If I continue like this, I might have to represent the country in national cycling competitions in the summer!
……

Summer has arrived in South Vegetable Garden, and the crew members are all excited.

From October 1st to now, summer has not arrived for more than a week.

"We saw you singing 'The Chinese' on TV! What a great song!"

“You sing well too!”

A group of people praised Xia Tian.

It seems that this televised performance is quite popular.

Xia Tian chatted with them for a while, and then saw Xiao Xu, who had just returned yesterday.

The two smiled at each other and didn't say much.

There are not many scenes today. Director Wang and his team are still discussing the location issues in the Grand View Garden, so the young actors are in a semi-holiday state.

In the summer, I would share the snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts I brought with everyone, and then we would sit in a pavilion in the yard, eating melon seeds and chatting.

Zhang Li asked him, "Now that the crew has moved here, it's farther from your school, right?"

Xia Tian nodded, "Of course. Unfortunately, my bicycle chain broke today, so I took a taxi here."

There are not many taxis in Yanjing now, and they are very expensive!
In the summer, I just decided to try it out on a whim - and then I felt like a sucker.

With this money, I can buy ten kilograms of meat, and everyone can eat it with their mouths full of grease!
"Speaking of taking a taxi, let me tell you a joke," he said.

"I took a taxi, but the driver didn't seem to be from Yanjing, and he spoke with a strange accent."

"We were chatting on the way, and I asked him: Master, what is your name?"

"He said: My last name is Xun."

"I'm quite confused: Xun is a rare last name. Is it the Xun of lavender?"

"The master shook his head: No, it's Xun Wukong's Xun."

"I was stunned! Then he asked me: What's your last name?"

"I said my last name is Xia."

"He got excited: The surname Xia is also rare..."

"I said: It's very common, Shrimp Wujing's Shrimp~"

Everyone laughed so hard that they almost choked, except Zhang Li, who clenched her fist and punched Xia Tian - she felt that he was making fun of her!

……

Everyone in the crew is on the right track. Although problems arise from time to time, they are all solved smoothly.

Although the shooting was not fast, it was still a step-by-step process.

Soon it was the weekend, and everyone discussed with Director Wang: Let's relax, have a party and have some fun, Director Wang, take out twenty or thirty dollars and buy some melon seeds and soda.
Then everyone started to make a fuss and insisted that Xia Tian dance!

Can’t we just rap a song in the summer?

Everyone: No! Just watch you dance~
Xia Tian: Hum~jump if you want! Chun Er, play the drum for me!
Originally, Dachun was asked to bring a small drum to play and sing as the background music, and now it also works for dancing.

Xia Tian: Look at me, dancing hotly——New Treasure Island~
With the passionate drum beats, Xia Tian began to twist his body expressionlessly.
Everyone was stunned on the spot. The girls covered their eyes and couldn't bear to look at it, their faces flushed with shame!
After picking for almost a minute, Xia Tian stopped and everyone finally reacted.

The gay men laughed so hard that they fell off their chairs, and the older female comrades simply ran out of the house to steal things: We really can’t stand the things you young people play with!

Yuan Mei stood up, looking rather panicked: "What are you jumping for?"

"Dance~" Xia Tian twisted his body twice more, making her laugh so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

Everyone was laughing, but Guo Xiaozhen looked at Dachun beside her with surprise - she didn't expect that he could really play the drums! And he played well!

Even though Dachun is known as a retired drummer, his emotional investment and technique are quite impressive. Even Xia Tian, ​​a musician, can't find any fault with him!

Now he is showing it intentionally, it is so passionate, phantoms appear in his hands, like the eight-armed Nezha.

If Dachun's grandfather saw this scene, he would be so moved that he would burst into tears - he had never seen Dachun play drums so seriously in his life.

Guo Xiaozhen's heart beat faster!
She asked in a low voice with surprise, "You can also play drums?"

Dachun looked at the drum head a little embarrassedly: "Ah, I don't like it very much."

Guo Xiaozhen: ...You always surprise me!

"Why? I think you're really...really good at playing drums." She said blushing a little.

Dachun seemed to be injected with energy when he heard this: "Well, then I will fight more in the future! Fight every day!"

Everyone was talking, laughing, singing and dancing, and it was getting late.

Finally, there will be a big show in the summer - that's what was supposed to be shown.

"Dachun, play music~"

Xia Tian stood still, struck a pose, and sang:

"But - sigh -

Qiu Hong folds the single and finds it difficult to restore the double.

Idiot, infatuation, hatred and madness
Just because the evil animal sacrifices will bring disaster
If the woman hadn't drawn the sword, everyone would have died.
......"

That's right, "The Goddess Splits the View" ~
The song is not long and can be finished in minutes.

Everyone was still surprised, especially Yuan Mei and his friends who were all professionals, and they all asked, "Why haven't we heard of this opera? What is this passage?"

There were also some who didn't understand, like Ouyang Fenqiang, who didn't quite understand what story was being sung.

"What story is this singing about?"

Xia Tian winked at Da Chun, and Da Chun started swinging the drumstick again.
"Hey - Yo -

My wife is sick and is leaving.

My husband is anxious to believe in a cult
Cruelly send your own daughter to the old demon~
Unexpectedly, the girl gave it a knife! The immortal thought she was not a bad person.

Take him as your apprentice and teach him carefully

A red string to protect your life
Can’t find it in the world…”

Boy, now I understand!

Ouyang and the others nodded one after another. They understood, they understood, and the singing was great.
"The Goddess Splitting the Guan should have come to an end here, but today I will add another chapter and sing it for you~
The high tune may not be unknown to people

Have a close friend and clear words

Hongying hunting sword meteor

Directly pointing at the angry tide to cleanse the sea

At that time the crane returned
The vast world is helpless

leaving alone
Goodbye today
The hall was filled with old and new friends

Gather together at this time. "

"Is this the play you wrote?" Yuan Mei suddenly shouted in a shrill voice.

Xia Tian stretched out his hand and pressed it, "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile~"

"The subject matter is here, and everyone can give full play to their expertise. Huangmei Opera, Errenzhuan, Laodan Qingyi...you can try everything!"

In the days that followed, these people finally had something to kill time during their free time.

They all used their expertise to adapt "The Goddess Splitting the Temple" according to the types of operas they learned, such as Huangmei Opera, Kunqu Opera, Qinqiang Opera, Huai Opera, Tianjin Kuaiban Opera, and Jingdong Drum Book.
Not only did they change the style and genre of the drama, they also tried changing the lyrics.

what:
The autumn wild geese hate the lonely kite, and the hatred and resentment

Lamenting the suffering of all living beings who offered evil sacrifices, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared with a sword to wipe out the smoke of war
what:
The dream of the mortal world is far away, the jade name of the next life is
Red silk cannot bind the rotten woodcutter, and the cloud crane soars into the sky

You just feel like you have listened to a new song, but also like you have listened to many new songs~
Naturally, the older people like Wang Dao also listened to the tricks these young people came up with.

how to say?

This song sounds like gods fighting above and demons dancing wildly below. It's the difference between being enlightened and going dark before your eyes!

Speaking of which, it has been five or six years since that movement, and there have indeed been no famous new songs born.

……

That day, Deng Jie, Xiao Xu, Zhang Li and others went shopping, and Xiao Xu bought a pair of shoes.

After returning, Deng Jie asked, "Xiao Xu, are your shoes a little too big?"

"No, that's it." Xiao Xu said stubbornly.

After a while, Zhang Li also saw it and said, "It seems a bit big."

Xiao Xu still said stubbornly: "Not much, that's it."

Then Xia Tian came into the room, and Xiao Xu asked him, "Do you think my shoes are too big?"

Xia Tian looked at it and said, "Very good! That's it."

Deng Jie was so angry: "Just spoil her!"

Xiaoxu won and was very proud of himself. He took out a letter and handed it to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian saw that it was written by a fan of Dream of Red Mansions and addressed to Xiao Xu, the actor who played Daiyu.

Below is Xiaoxu's reply, expressing her understanding of Lin Daiyu:

After all, she was a noble lady from more than 200 years ago. I think it is important not to regard her as a perfect goddess-like beauty.

She is a living person!

She pursues love persistently. She is passionate, sarcastic, sentimental and humorous.

She is a person full of contradictions and has many facets.

"How is it?" Xiaoxu asked.

Xia Tian nodded. "It's really well written. It's a mistake to force a character or a person to be perfect."

"I often wonder what story the Dream of the Red Chamber is trying to tell."

At this time, Zhang Li and the others also gathered around. Discussions like this are common among the young people in the crew, but Xia Tian usually doesn't talk much.

It's rare to hear his opinion this time.

Xia Tian did not directly express his feelings, but said:
"Xiren despised actors the most, but in the end she married an actor."

Yuan Mei listened thoughtfully.

"Qingwen wanted to be a pure daughter before marriage, but she was labeled as a vixen who had lost her virginity."

"Qingwen cried for her mother all night before she died. She was separated from her mother when she was young and sold into slavery. Perhaps she could no longer remember the appearance of her mother who had passed away many years ago. However, in the last stage of her life, when she was most vulnerable, she instinctively confided her grievances to the mother in her memory."

"Yingchun did not seek great wealth and honor, but only wanted to keep things quiet and live a peaceful life every day. However, she married the Zhongshan wolf who tortured her to death."

"Tanchun is the one who cares most about her family, but she married far away."

"Baochai wanted to marry well so that she could help the family, and she tried her best to persuade them before marriage... But after she got what she wanted, her husband's family collapsed and her husband ran away from home."

"Miaoyu loved cleanliness very much, but in the end she fell into prostitution."

"Daiyu wanted to be with Brother Bao the most, but in the end she died of tears, and was separated from Brother Bao by the Yin and Yang."

"Baoyu wanted to spend his whole life with Lin Daiyu, but he married Baochai instead."

"The Jia family had high hopes for Baoyu, but he ended up becoming a beggar."

"In this dream of the Red Mansion, the more persistent you think, the heavier you fall."

"What does Dream of the Red Chamber want to tell the world? I think Cao Gong is trying to persuade people not to be too obsessed with anything, lest you end up hurting others and yourself."

I also hope that you will not be obsessed with this. After all, these are just a few short years in your life, and you should have your own life!
This is the outline I wrote when "The Goddess Splits the View" was at its peak, but now I don't have the same passion as before...
