1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 205 Bah~ hooligan!

Xia Tian sat up, put his ear against the wall, and listened carefully.

Eh? It seems like there's no movement again!
what happened?

He lay down suspiciously, wondering if he had heard it wrong?
Impossible, with my ears, I have never missed it since I was a child!
Sure enough, after a while the sound came again, and it seemed a little different!
Xia Tian immediately put his ear to the wall... As expected, it was not an auditory hallucination. This time he heard it!
Subtle but clear!

His eyebrows gradually frowned together, and a look of fear slowly appeared on his face!
This is, this is...

There is something wrong with this house! Really!

It was summer and I couldn’t sleep all night with my clothes on.

The next day, Aunt Deng asked him, "Did you sleep well? Was there anything... unusual?"

Xia Tian nodded with a heavy expression.

"Yes! Auntie, there is really something wrong with this house!" he said.

"Ah!" Aunt Deng looked panicked.

Xia Tian continued, "There may be a big problem with this house! I suggest you stop living there for the time being and move back!"

Aunt Deng was a little panicked and asked, "What's the problem? That sound..."

Xia Tian nodded: "This house... has quality issues! They must have cut corners! That sound is the sound of structural stress release! This house is not safe, we have to leave quickly!"

After all, Xia Tian studied civil engineering in his previous life and worked as a civil engineer for several years, from red hat to white hat. He was tanned like a tanner!
And he had the "fortune" to hear the sound in the wall last night once!
Then there must be something wrong with the quality of the house, and the internal stress is changing!

This frightened him so much that he dared not close his eyes all night - for fear that the house would suddenly collapse.

The nightmare of years of civil engineering and arduous labor is lingering in my mind again!

Soon, the higher-ups sent in professional inspectors to conduct a thorough inspection and found that there were serious problems. In the end, they even chiseled the wall!

The result - no matter how I chiseled it horizontally or vertically, I couldn't find any steel bars!

What happens next, I don’t know.

They say it is reinforced, but there are problems with the whole thing. How can it be reinforced? Who would dare to live there after it is reinforced?
I don't care about summer. I haven't slept all night, I have to go back and catch up on my sleep.

……

At the end of October, production director Ren Dahui brought back two baskets of crabs, not as a gift to the actors.

It was to film the "crab feast" in the book.

In the 38th chapter of the book, Shi Xiangyun, who was staying at the Grand View Garden, hosted the guests - the money was paid by Baochai - and invited the ladies of the Rongguo Mansion to enjoy the flowers and eat crabs.

This scene is quite interesting. Director Wang originally wanted to stop filming it, but then he “expanded” the number of episodes!
Finally decided to shoot!

When Xia Tian discussed the script with editor Zhou Ling and others, he said, "This scene is very interesting. It can be said that Cao Gong saw the world of all living things at a crab feast..."

The filming of the drama went very smoothly because of the sufficient preparation in the early stages.

It took three sessions just to rehearse - there were moon cakes on the table, not crabs.

Nowadays, everyone's acting skills have improved significantly. Perhaps performing without props is still a little lacking, but using mooncakes as crabs is already done without being out of character.

Plus, Xia Tian analyzed the characters with them in advance:
"We all say Xiangyun is romantic, outspoken, and ambitious, but this crab feast also shows her sophistication in dealing with people."

"In the book, she first accompanied Lady Jia and Lady Wang to eat one meal, fulfilling the etiquette of a younger generation. Then she asked someone to serve two plates to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou. She also asked someone to set up two tables on the corridor over there and let the maids sit down... It can be said that she took care of everything."

"Although Xiangyun hosted the crab feast, the crabs were sponsored by Sister Bao for free. Although Xiangyun is the daughter of a marquis, her life is really tight, and she even has to work as a maid to supplement her family... Sister Bao is very considerate and took the opportunity to save Xiangyun's face."

"Xiangyun's obedience is hidden under the appearance of being generous and free and easy, which also reflects the embarrassment of her living environment. If you savor it carefully, you will feel sympathy for her."

"In this scene, Ping'er also rarely shows her true nature. Sister Feng asked someone to tell her to drink less, but Ping'er got angry and asked, "What can I do to you if you drink too much?" While she was talking, she just drank and ate crabs. She has been cautious and treading on thin ice for many years, but she also has moments of explosion. The character began to become three-dimensional..."

"In the book, Granny Liu's calculation of the Jia family's expenses also revealed the family's extravagant spending. This laid the groundwork for the family's future decline and desolation, and provided more contrast."

"What's more, there are also great poets. Baoyu's poems show the satisfaction of a rich and noble man. Daiyu's poems use the sacrifice of crabs to lament the impermanence of life. Baochai's crab poems are specifically satirical and critical. They satirize the pursuit of fame and fortune and the desire of ordinary people to be mean and petty."

"The crab feast shows everyone's talent and the good times, which forms an extreme contrast with the later three springs, when all the flowers have faded and everyone has to find their own way, leaving the white earth so clean."

As an actor, it is easier to act once you have sorted out your emotions.

So it went very smoothly.

Then, there were only two large baskets of crabs left - they couldn't be wasted!
Add more food, you must add more food!
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, it is still the end of the three autumns, and it is time to eat crabs~
Yuan Mei's smile was about to overflow: "We can finally eat props again!"

Xia Tian didn't help this time. He has been from the north for two lifetimes and doesn't understand this, so he just talked.

The actors from Jiangnan are really busy.

But he was not idle: "Mr. Wang Zengqi's essay "Home Cooking" records steamed hairy crabs."

"They say they wash it with clean water, pour Huadiao wine into the water, and turn it upside down to prevent the crab roe from spilling. They put a piece of ginger on its belly to remove the fishy smell~"

Xiao Xu was also "idling around" and pretending to be busy, so he asked, "Have you been waiting for this meal for a long time?"

Xia Tian shook his head: "I don't like eating crabs. It's too much trouble."

"Southerners also have a dish called 'Eight Crab Dishes'. They eat the crabs cleanly and then arrange them in a nice shape. It's very delicate. I prefer to eat the meat in big bites!"

Xia Tian: I’m not very good at eating, but I can act like a crab.

Seeing everyone busy, or pretending to be busy, Xia Tian said, "While you guys are busy, I'll tell you a joke!"

“It is said that one day, the crab went out and accidentally stepped on the foot of an octopus.

Squidward said angrily: "Are you blind?" The crab said aggrievedly: "I'm not a shrimp, I'm a crab!"

"Hahaha~" Xiao Xu couldn't hold back his laughter and kept falling into Zhang Li's arms. Zhang Li laughed so hard that she became weak all over and couldn't stand at all.

The person who was cooking crabs almost overturned the pot with laughter!
Deng Jie scolded Xia Tian: "Go cool down somewhere else, or the crabs will run away if you keep telling jokes!"

Steaming crabs takes little effort and comes quickly.

Soon, everyone started eating.

Xia Tian didn't lie, he really didn't like to eat.

There was only a tiny bit of meat, and I had to pick it up a lot. I didn't like the crab roe very much either.

As expected, you can’t eat fine bran!
Zhang Li is patient. She uses small pliers to cut off the crab legs, then cuts the two ends apart. Then she can poke the crab legs with the meat and it will come out.

Then Xiaoxu took them secretly, and Zhang Li handed Xia Tian a few that she had cut herself. When she turned around, there were only two left!

It’s not enough for Xiaoxu to eat!
You have to drink some wine when eating crabs, beer is definitely not okay.

According to tradition, crabs are cold in nature and should be eaten with warm rice wine.

Everyone had been waiting for this meal for several days, and the rice wine had been bought long ago.

So everyone started drinking. Although they just tasted a little at first, who didn't know who?
As I was eating, I just let go and drank!
Especially Guo Xiaozhen, Xiao Guo’s alcohol tolerance is amazing!
With this drinking capacity, he is almost catching up with Milan!

Xia Tian was also persuaded to drink two cups, which was ok. The rice wine was smooth and not spicy, and the alcohol content did not seem high.

He also wanted to relax, so he drank a few more cups. However, this stuff has a strong aftereffect!
After a few drinks, his face turned a little red and he talked more.

Everyone on the crew talks about "Dream of the Red Chamber" all the time, and since they are all literary young people, they can't stop talking about poetry and songs, and their writing is brilliant.

Xia Tian is also in high spirits, so he recites a poem as well!
He was holding up a crab and said, "The iron armor and long spears are powerful, powerful, powerful... Once they are out of the water, they can be put on a plate." He even stuttered.

He was swinging two crab claws in his hand. "Eight legs interlaced in the color of morning glow, two claws held high in the light of red flames."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this: How can a poem be composed in seven steps?
In the summer, a decorative chrysanthemum is placed in the crab claws, "the cool fragrance of the yellow chrysanthemum dispels the summer heat, and the light smoke of the green ants pays tribute to the coolness of autumn."

Then he leaned back in his chair and murmured, "I have never been happy in my life, so why should I be afraid of exchanging ginger soup for the East China Sea..."

"Good! Great~" Deng Jie immediately started praising.

Crowds of people gathered around to watch. This scene of impromptu poetry writing was something that only appeared in books!
It turned out that in summer, when I squinted my eyes, I had no reaction at all.

"Oh, are you drunk? That's all you can drink?!" Deng Jie snickered.

Zhang Li stood up and said, "Let me help him go to the dormitory and lie down for a while. You guys continue eating. I'll be back soon."

Xiao Xu also stood up: "I'll help you."

Fortunately, it's summer now and I'm just feeling sleepy due to the alcohol. If I had really fallen asleep, even three or four girls wouldn't have been able to lift me up.

The two of them, one on each side, supported Xia Tian and finally "squeezed" him into the dormitory. They were so tired that sweat was coming out of their foreheads.

When I got to the dormitory, I was a little confused.

Zhang Li asked, "Whose bed should I put it on?"

If I help him back, I will put him on my bed. But now, I feel embarrassed...

"Put it on your bed." Xiao Xu didn't have the courage to say put it on my bed.

Hearing this, Zhang Li did not refuse and helped Xia Tian lie down on the bed.

Xiaoxu was given a glass of water, but she didn't notice that she was using her own cup.

"Hmm? What's that smell?" Zhang Li suddenly said.

Xiao Xu sniffed: "What a nice smell! Is it crab roe?"

Zhang Li immediately shook her head. It definitely wasn't the smell of crab. It seemed to be...

She leaned close to Xia Tian and sniffed carefully. She turned around and saw Xiao Xu's eyes full of curiosity...

At this time, Xia Tian seemed to be mumbling something.

The two of them sneaked closer and listened.

What Xia Tian muttered was actually a crab poem:

"In the golden autumn, I like to see a girl tied up with ropes, lying in the steam room with a cute red body. I lift her skirt to taste her fat, and then probe her belly to test the temperature. ... I dare to laugh at the immortal Po for not being a hooligan~" (Damn, I've reviewed it)

"Bah! Hooligan!" Xiao Xu spat with a slightly red face.

It turned out to be a gorgeous poem!
