My artist wants to quit the entertainment industry every day

Chapter 164 Warm water, not strong enough, Diary of a Madman (Chapter 1 please subscribe! Ask for a monthly ticket reward!)
Brother Xun gives the impression of being sharp and cold, but his heart is always hot.

Playing Brother Xun, if he is played as a stereotyped character like a portrait in a woodcut, it will be a complete failure.

It was a complete failure of the crew and actors.

Chi Yu and Zhang Yongxin communicated repeatedly, looking for the real Lu Xun from a large number of written materials.

Innocence, humor, warmth and beauty, these words are rare in Brother Xun.

The perspective of some of his words can be seen from the perspective of a child, which is clean and pure enough to see the essence of things at a glance.

Chi Yu and Zhang Yongxin jointly recognized the creative concept, hoping to show Lu Xun's humorous, warm and beautiful side, adding humor and enthusiasm instead of blindly stern.

Zhang Yongxin told Chi Yu: "Many of the impressions we usually form about characters are conceptual. We need to smash these concepts to make the characters alive and warm."

"No matter what kind of cultural background the audience has, when they watch this drama, they won't feel separated from the times and characters in the drama. The characters are approachable and understandable."

Later, Chi Yu learned that Director Zhang Yongxin was a fan of Brother Xun, so he wanted to integrate limited resources with Brother Xun, hoping to be high-powered.

For example, when he holds an editorial meeting, although he always seems to be isolated from the group, or sits next to him and eats alone, he will also smile and occasionally make a joke, not many, but it is all reflected in the camera .

While talking, it was a scene where brothers Xun and Mr. Zhongfu, Mr. Shouchang, as well as Cai Gong and Jin Xinyi gathered at Bushu Bookstore.

As soon as they came in, several people looked at this and that.

First of all, this is indeed an old building.

Secondly, there are many things in it, which are works of Brother Xun, sculptures, portraits, prints, etc., especially the replicas and rubbings of Han Dynasty portrait bricks and prints.

"Yucai, this building looks old."

Yu Hewei, who plays Mr. Zhongfu, said with his hands behind his back.

The actual time of this scene was winter, so everyone was wearing cotton robes in the air-conditioned room.

In this room, Jin Xinyi is the most familiar with Brother Xun, and they are considered classmates.

He said: "This Shaoxing guild hall was built in the sixth year of Daoguang. It was originally named Shanyin Kuaiji Liangyi Mansion. It mainly entertained people from Shanyin and Kuaiji counties who came to Beijing to take the exam. It has been nearly 100 years."

"It has gone through vicissitudes."

Yu Hewei said: "What is more vicissitudes than this house is these ancient inscriptions, which make people feel nostalgic for the past."

Because "The Age of Awakening" is a historical drama, and it was at the time of the Republic of China, in order to pursue a cultural texture, when the characters speak, they will use some half-literal sentences.

Even often quoted from the classics.

For example, the phrase "Reminiscing about the Nostalgia of the Past" comes from "Xidu Fu" written by Ban Gu in the Han Dynasty.

The original sentence is: 摅 nostalgic storage of thoughts, nostalgia for the past.

"Diamond Buddhist scriptures and copying ancient steles are the norm in Yucai now." Jin Xinyi said.

"Oh, I heard that a woman seems to have been hanged in this room." Yu Hewei asked, pointing to the beam.

This sentence is also described in the preface of "The Scream":

There are three rooms in the S Guild Hall. According to legend, a woman was hanged to death on the locust tree in the yard in the past. Now the locust tree is too high to be reached, and no one lives in this house; I have lived here for many years. Copy ancient monuments in the house.

These words exactly corresponded to Jin Xinyi's words.

"No, that's outside the door."

Brother Xun's younger brother, Lu Yi who played the role of Zhou Xingbiao, said: "So no one dares to live in this house, only my elder brother dares."

This is Brother Xun.

Always act in an eclectic and twisted way, but don't shy away from ghosts and gods.

"Brother Yucai, don't you feel depressed living here?" Yu Hewei asked.

"It's not just my Bushu Bookstore that is depressing?"

Chi Yu chuckled, and then calmed down: "Outside the study, the rancid smell is even more unbearable."

Then I talked about the current situation in these years.

During the period of the Republic of China, from 1911 to the current 1918, although it was only a short period of seven years, the current situation was in turmoil. After you sing, I will appear on the stage, and the chaotic one who has just fallen will appear again.

A person, event, anxiously got into the history textbook, and then left a few words, a name, and then left.

When he said these words, the others all sat down.

They are also the characters in the situation at this time. Maybe they just stir up the situation a little bit, maybe they can do some big things, maybe they just stir up a ripple.

They are ambitious, but they also know that maybe the only thing left now is ambition.

They can't see what kind of great things they can accomplish, they just have a thought and a belief in their hearts.

Zhang Tong, who played Mr. Shouchang, sat upright, looking contemplative.

Jin Xinyi is relatively casual. He and Brother Xun are good friends, although they later turned against each other and severed the relationship.

Yu Hewei was even more casual, sitting opposite Chi Yu, eating snacks.

Chi Yu took a puff of cigarette, and his whole face was covered in smoke: "Looking around, I feel that this society is so rotten that there is no cure for it."

"Brother Yucai, I think that since the heavens created humans, they should be given a way to survive. The medicine is still available, but someone needs to find it." Zhang Tong said in a gentle voice.

"Where is the medicine? Who is the person looking for it?" Chi Yu asked stiffly.

"Me! We!"

Yu Hewei stretched out his hand to pull it, and said solemnly: "This medicine is your masterpiece, brother Yucai."

Chi Yu was silent for a while, and then said, "I've read "New Youth."

After he finished smoking a cigarette, he got up and went to the kettle, picked up the kettle, poked it with coal-burning tongs, and commented: "The water is lukewarm, not strong enough."

Zhang Tong and Yu Hewei looked at each other.

A hit!

Yu Hewei said: "Brother Yucai please enlighten me."

Chi Yu poked the coal, blew the soot off his face, and said, "First, you advocate vernacular Chinese, but you write in classical Chinese and semi-classical Chinese, and you still hold the pipa and half cover your face."

These are some small actions that he added after discussing with the director to make the characters come alive.

It's true.

"Chi Yu is now Brother Xun. He moves, speaks, and closes his eyes, as if he is Brother Xun." Behind the monitor, Zhang Yongxin sighed with emotion.

Beside, Su Aifei, who came to explore the scene, was proud.

She found that Chi Yu in the camera even made her feel strange, so strange, she was a little confused, is this person still Chi Yu?

She then told her assistant Fang Yuan: "Go and see if the watermelon I bought has arrived, and tell the crew in charge that Chi Yu invited everyone to eat."

"Okay." Fang Yuan tiptoed away.

In the camera, Bushu Bookstore.

Chi Yu continued: "Secondly, to promote and popularize vernacular, it is fundamental to have works that are popular with the public. I think that writing novels in vernacular is the best way to popularize vernacular. But, you don't have works in this area."

Everyone listened, or frowned, or pondered, or thoughtfully.

The current "New Youth", such as "On the Literary Revolution of Construction", "The Problem of Chastity", "Human Literature", "Studies on Sports", etc., are basically "thesis-style" articles.

As for papers, there are always a small number of people who read them.

But novels, since their inception, although their status is not high, such as "Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "Red Mansion", and "The Golden Vase", as well as those dramas, etc., are often loved by the masses and spread widely.

To be enlightened, it is necessary for the majority of people to read and understand.

"Thirdly, and most importantly, you keep saying you want to crusade against the three cardinal principles of Confucianism, but what you talk about are all big principles, and you don't have a deep understanding. Works without image thinking, it is impossible to touch people's souls!"

This is also the problem with "New Youth" at present. The slogans are shouted loudly, but they are still just slogans.

Without an image that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is impossible to fundamentally trigger the emotions of the public.

For example, in the later "White-haired Girl", it is precisely because the images of White-haired Girl, Yang Bailao, and Huang Shiren are perfectly shaped that more people can truly experience the persecution of the old society...

"Yucai, be taught."

At this point in Chi Yu's words, Yu He Wei stood up and bent down with a sincere face: "The words just now hit the nail on the head, and every sentence hits the key point of "New Youth."

The others, Zhang Tong and Jin Xinyi nodded, obviously they also knew this.

It's just that these few people are all research-oriented talents, and they are good at writing papers, but they are a little powerless when it comes to novel creation.

And at this time, there are not many who really know how to write novels.

They approached Brother Xun probably because, in the early years, he translated two volumes of "A Collection of Foreign Fiction" and wrote the novel "Nostalgia" in classical Chinese.

"Now that the cause of the disease has been found out, let's do the surgery quickly. Don't just sit on the sidelines, don't hold the pipa half-hidden anymore. Let's make a big move, Yucai!" Yu Hewei said immediately.

Chi Yu felt that his analysis just now had dug a hole for himself.

A little silent, put down the coal tongs, sat on the kettle, after a while, then sighed: "I'll try."

"it is good!"

Jin Xinyi slapped the table and stood up: "Just waiting for your words! Yucai, as long as you make a move, it will definitely be a banner!"

Zhang Tong also stood up excitedly: "Brother Yucai, it's too late to meet you."

"Hahaha! Yucai!"

Yu Hewei came over and gave Chi Yu a hug: "This trip is worthwhile, just wait for the good news! Then let's go."

After finishing speaking, the three of them went out.

Chi Yuzheng was a little silent, and Yu Hewei raised the curtain again: "I'll be waiting for your medicine!"

After speaking, he really left.

"It comes in a hurry, and it goes in a hurry. The autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves." Lu Yi complained.

"I've already experienced it once."

Chi Yu said helplessly: "However, it can also be seen that this person is extremely charismatic, and he will definitely be able to attract people with lofty ideals to work for him in the future. Not much to say about De Qian, I also like that conservative person. He is stable and modest. I believe he will be able to do great things in the future.”

These words, as well as the previous paragraph, are basically over.

At the beginning, Chi Yu and Zhang Yongxin had doubts about whether to shoot such a scene, and the whole script, because it was a completely unexpected scene.

At this time, Brother Xun is not yet a celebrity, and he can't talk about the evaluation of "a banner" and "seeing each other late".

What's more, in the process of creation, it's an emotional setting from God's perspective.

As for Brother Xun's evaluation of Zhongfu and Shouchang, it is also a literary creation.

But at this time, the scene was not completely over. After the guests left, his younger brother Lu Yi, who had been packing up his things, said, "By the way, in the old Nanjing Naval Academy, Ren Guangming and other old classmates came to Beijing for business. See you, let's catch up on the old days."

Chi Yu, who was standing in front of the window, turned around and asked, "Are they here for the Ministry of Education?"

"Ah."

"Why don't you come to me directly?"

"People know that you are in a bad mood, so they dare not disturb you rashly."

"Oh, where?"

Chi Yu took a deep breath, and left from the mood of begging Zhongfu and Shouchang when they left just now: "It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. You make arrangements, and I'll invite them to cook."

"okay."

This game is over here.

Although there were many characters on stage, because it was in one room and the status of the actors was online, the filming went smoothly, and it was completed in one afternoon.

And the button left is the next scene, the most important scene in the play, the whole story of "Diary of a Madman".

"It's not going to be filming tomorrow afternoon, so I'll give you half a day off. Arrive tomorrow afternoon, get ready."

After the filming ended, Zhang Yongxin told Chi Yu: "Don't go back to the hotel, go outside for a walk, you can do it in the studio city, you can go outside, relax your mind, don't collapse too tight."

Chi Yu nodded and said, "I can't sleep at night."

Then it didn't get any better.

When doing modeling, the crew was in the capital.

But after the filming started, the crew came to the south, some in Huzhou Film and Television City, and some in Hengdian Film and Television City.

The Hengdian Film and Television City filmed mainly some scenes in the capital, such as Brother Xun’s former residence, such as the Jiangan Hutong where the editorial department of "New Youth" is located, and it was built by the production team of "Awakening Age" from beginning to end.

Because the scenes in Hengdian are all painted brick joints, in order to emphasize the texture, the crew of "Awakening Age" re-pasted the bricks, polished them and made effects.

In Mr. Zhongfu's yard, there are grape trellises from Hebei and jujube trees from Shandong.

In the words of executive producer Yao Yongjun: "Sometimes to be honest, when I watch the scenes I set up, I feel distressed."

Chi Yu didn't feel bad.

He's just an actor.

Su Aifei only took a look here and left.

He just told Fangyuan to contact her in time if there was anything he couldn't solve.

The filming of Di Li Ruobai's "Long Song Xing" has already started, and the filming location is still in Xiangshan Film and Television City, which is not too far from here.

Tongtong and Xiaoqian are still staying at home in Beijing. Although Xiaoqian is just new, she has become a good sister who knows how to live and how to take care of her younger sister after working in Chiyu these years.

……

Early the next morning, Chi Yu was supposed to be resting.

I just felt so bored and wanted to walk in the park, so I didn't go to the set and walked in the film and television city.

As we walked, we came to the crew of "Age of Awakening" and the courtyard where Brother Xun lived.

This afternoon's play will be filmed here.

But now, because other roles are being filmed, this place is only temporarily vacant.

This scene is the Bushu Bookstore of the Shaoxing Guild Hall in the capital, which was used just tomorrow.

The original Shaoxing Guild Hall is located at No. 7 South Banjie Hutong.

From 1912 to 1919, Brother Xun lived here and created a large number of new literary works during this period.

In 1918, he published the first vernacular novel "Diary of a Madman" under the pen name of Lu Xun for the first time in my country.

The guild hall sits west and faces east, and consists of three groups of courtyards. The second courtyard in the south was once the former site of "Bushu Bookstore" where Lu Xun lived.

Tomorrow afternoon's scene will still be filmed here, the scene of "Diary of a Madman".

The script is very short, and it counts: "Seeing my friend going crazy, Brother Xun was touched in his heart. Everything he saw in the past rolled over in his mind, and then he wrote "Diary of a Madman" in writing."

This scene was broken down into two parts.

The first part is about friends going crazy, it's not difficult, because the previous script has been written in relative detail.

But the latter paragraph, that is, the forty or so characters just now, is completely an abstract concept, to express the whole process of conceiving and writing "Diary of a Madman".

Chi Yu had been thinking about this scene since he got the script.

No clue.

Until now, after communicating with the director, I finally have a general direction of acting.

But he was still uneasy.

At the same time, the entire crew was uneasy.

Everyone wanted to make this scene into a famous scene, a high-energy scene.

Because of the weight of "Diary of a Madman" in the history of modern literature, because of its enlightening.

"Everything must be studied before it can be understood."

Chi Yu muttered sentences from "Diary of a Madman", and now he is more and more used to quoting Brother Xun's sentences when speaking.

He then went to ask the crew for the key.

Open the door, sit in the chair, half of the person is in the sun and half in the shadow.

He closed his eyes, recalling the text of "Diary of a Madman".

"A certain gentleman, Kunzhong, who hides his name now, is still a good friend in middle school; we have been separated for many years, and the news is gradually missing..."

"Tonight, nice moonlight."

"I haven't seen him for more than 30 years. I saw him today, and I feel very refreshed. Only then did I realize that the past 30 years were all dizzy; but I must be very careful. Otherwise, why did the Zhao family's dog look at me twice? "

"I'm rightly afraid."

……

"Everything has to be studied before it can be understood. In ancient times, I often eat people. I still remember it, but I don't know it very well."

"I looked through the history and found that there is no date in this history. The words "benevolence, righteousness and morality" are written crookedly on every page. I couldn't sleep anyway. I read it carefully halfway through the night before I could see the words between the words. , there are two characters written all over the book that read 'eating people'!"

……

"It's pitch black, I don't know if it's day or night. Zhao's dog is barking again."

"The viciousness of a lion, the cowardice of a rabbit, the cunning of a fox..."

……

"It's my brother who eats people!"

"I am the brother of the man-eater!"

"I myself was eaten, but I am still the brother of the cannibal!"

……

"Yes, yes, this has always been the case..."

"It's always been like this, right?"

"I don't want you to talk about these reasons; in short, you shouldn't say it, and you are wrong if you say it!"

……

"There are no children who eat people, or there are?"

"Save the child..."

……

The sun is getting brighter and hotter.

The weather in July is the hottest time of the year.

What reverberates and flashes in Chi Yu's mind is every paragraph, every sentence, every word in "Diary of a Madman".

Then these paragraphs, sentences and words were shattered one by one, smashed into pieces, and then gathered into a ball, squeezed into his brain, struggling, breaking free...
