1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 241 The end of spreading flowers~
Because summer came later, the crew arranged his dormitory on the top floor of the guesthouse, as there were no rooms downstairs.

Everyone helped Xia Tian put away his luggage - it wasn't a big deal, it was mainly about chatting.

A group of people were chattering in Xia Tian's room, saying that Director Ren was partial and arranged a better and more expensive room for Xia Tian.

Soon Deng Jie took the girls away, and Xia Tian sorted out the bedding and other supplies by herself.

After a while, the door was pushed open and Zhang Li came in cautiously.

"Did your filming go smoothly? Are you tired?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

Who knew that Zhang Li would stretch out her arms and put them around Xia Tian's neck, then stand on tiptoe and move closer...

"Where are you going?" Xia Tian wanted to call Zhang Li back - how could you just run away after kissing?!
Zhang Li whispered, "Xiao Xu will definitely be here soon, I'll go back first~" and then she ran away.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, Xiao Xu pushed the door open and came in: "Where has Zhang Li been? She's sneaking around!"

She just ran into Zhang Li in the corridor, and she was looking at her and smiling?
When Xia Tian heard her say this, he suddenly laughed.

Xiaoxu immediately felt something was wrong - no, something was being hidden from me!

"Tell me quickly, what's wrong with you?" she asked, moving closer.

Xia Tian smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed at his lips.

Xiao Xu was so smart that he understood it immediately and blushed - OK! Zhang Li, you carry me on your back... just wait for me!

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I missed you so much~" Then Xia Tian leaned forward and touched his lips with his finger again.

Xiao Xu blushed and turned his head away, quietly stretched out his foot and pushed the door shut...

……

The next day, Xia Tian prepared to perform the final scene.

Makeup is a breeze, so hurry up and get started~
On the Spring Willow Bank of Yangzhou's Slender West Lake, countless peach trees are in bloom, and the dotted flowers embellish the slightly chilly early spring.

Xia Tian adjusted his state and checked the prop sword in his hand - it had no blade, just a shiny iron bar.

In the peach forest, Jia Lian was talking fiercely with Liu Xianglian. Third Sister You caught up with them, stared at them for a moment, and finally said, "I'll return the sword to you."

Liu Xianglian had a complicated expression, and hesitantly took the family heirloom sword, but Third Sister You pulled out the sword and wiped it across her neck, and a streak of bright red flowed down...

"Third sister? Third sister!"

Liu Xianglian rushed forward and hugged the collapsed Third Sister You. No matter how he called her, she only smiled bitterly and died in this peach forest.

The original book says: The red peach blossoms are crushed all over the ground, the jade mountain is collapsed and it is hard to support it... The so-called tragedy is to smash beautiful things into pieces for you to see.

Later, Liu Xianglian walked in a daze, and seemed to see You Sanjie coming towards him. She held the Double-Duck Sword in her hand and said, "I have been waiting for you for five years, but I didn't expect you to be such a cold-faced person. I can only die to express my love, and we will never see each other again." After saying that, she shed tears and left.

He hurried forward to hold her, but the third sister just shook her hand and left.

Xianglian burst into tears and woke up unconsciously. It seemed like a dream, but it was not. She saw a dilapidated temple in front of her and a Taoist priest sitting in front of the door.

Liu Xianglian drew out his sword, wiped out all his worries, cut his hair, became a monk, and followed the Taoist priest away.

During the performance, Zhou Yue, who played Yu Sanjie, walked back and forth in the peach forest early in the morning to build up her emotions, and did not say a word until the performance officially started.

The sword that slashed his neck was really decisive! It was really a slash!
If Xia Tian hadn't looked at the sword specifically, he would have been injured because it didn't have any sharp edge at all!
Wait for Director Wang to say "pass"!
Zhou Yue burst into tears all of a sudden, sobbing uncontrollably.

Xia Tian was still hugging her, and it was difficult to comfort her. When everyone came forward to comfort her, he quietly moved away.

It's best not to show up at a time like this, as it will affect the actors' performance...

Later, after Director Wang saw the effect, he was very satisfied and wanted to add more scenes for Xia Tian and Zhou Yue!
It is the part where Liu Xianglian was bid farewell to You Sanjie in his dream, and then became a monk after waking up from the dream.

Originally I was planning to take a shot of Liu Xianglian walking towards the Taoist temple with disheveled hair, but now I want to take more shots.

The next day, Zhou Yue also acted out the show in a rather cold and decisive manner, handing over the sword and saying goodbye with tears in her almond-shaped eyes.

When Xia Tian swung his sword, cut off his hair, and floated away with the Taoist priest...his role was finally over!

Finished, sprinkle flowers ~ cheers ~
"Oh, look at Zhou Yue's eyes, so sad! And you don't even say anything to comfort her." Xiao Xu started teasing Xia Tian.

Xia Tian glanced at her and said, "Looking for trouble, huh?"

Zhang Li quickly said, "Okay, stop making trouble. I'm already feeling bad, so don't say these things..."

I arrived on the 17th in the summer, started shooting on the 18th, and finished it on the same day. Even if we added more scenes, it only took an extra morning.

The job was done so smoothly that it felt like traveling a thousand miles to seek revenge, and after going through so many hardships finally finding the enemy, and then just two shots and it was over - it really felt a bit anticlimactic.

After filming this scene in the summer, only a few exterior scenes and empty shots were left in Yangzhou.

The actors are just taking a temporary break.

The scenes they shot here were really tight, with more than ten hours of filming going on!
But when you say it's not busy, it's really busy - if the flowers don't bloom, everyone has to wait there!

Now that the work is done, come and have some more fun!
In the summer, I invited Xiaoxu, Deng Jie and a group of people to have dinner at a nearby restaurant, visit famous attractions and take some photos.

Then the three of them acted separately. Xiaoxu and Zhangli went out first, and Xiatian went out ten minutes later, and then they met at a certain place.

In the summer, he even wore a pair of black-framed plain glasses - there was no other way, now that he was more famous, it was inconvenient.

When I went to a restaurant for dinner yesterday, I was recognized by everyone and almost sang a song on the spot!
If few people wore masks now, and they would be conspicuous when wearing them, we would have to wear masks in the summer.

However, he finally cut off his long hair that he had kept for several years, and most people could no longer recognize him.

That long hair is really inconvenient to take care of. Every time I wash my hair, I wash each other's hair together.

……

In order to have a private space, the three chose to row a boat.

The boat is in the water, so others cannot see it because they are far away, let alone disturb it.

The Suzhou West Lake is called a lake, but in summer it feels more like a wetland. The water surface is not endless, but is divided into pieces of land and islands. There are many gardens around it, forming a strip of landscape with cities and moats connected.

This is good, the privacy is better~
The three of them chatted on the boat and felt extremely happy. Time passed so quickly.

Xiao Xu asked Xia Tian: "Have you written anything recently?"

How dare Xia Tian say that he wrote "Qingyun Qi Tu"? Let the past go with the wind~
He said: "I want to write a detective novel recently!"

"What is a detective novel?" Zhang Li asked curiously.

"Is it the kind of story like 'Three Heroes and Five Gallants'?" Xiao Xu asked.

Xia Tian nodded: "In foreign countries, they call it detective novels, such as Conan Doyle, Agatha, Matsumoto Seicho, etc. It is a novel with the main line of solving various cases, which is very similar to traditional public case novels..."

"Why did you think of writing a crime-solving novel?" Xiao Xu asked.

"Is the movie Blood Splattered on the Painted Screen from the Xi'an Film Studio showing here?"

The two girls shook their heads, not knowing whether it was released or not, as they didn’t have time to watch a movie.

Xia Tian said: "I just watched it in Yanjing before I came here. The movie is about the story of Di Renjie solving a case in the Tang Dynasty..."

This film "Blood Splattered on the Painted Screen" produced by Xi'an Film Studio is adapted from "Four Lacquer Screens" in "Detective Dee's Cases in the Tang Dynasty" by Robert van Gulik.

That Gao Ropi, whose courtesy name was Xiaowang and whose pseudonym was Zhitai, was not Chinese!
It is the Chinese name of the Dutchman Robert Hans Gulick.

Robert van Gulik was a Dutch sinologist, orientalist, diplomat, translator and novelist.

As a professional diplomat of the Netherlands, he is fluent in 15 languages ​​and has been stationed in many places. He has worked his way up from secretary to ambassador, and his career has been smooth sailing!
But for us, his greatest achievement is in Sinology - it can be said that the Dutch people's current understanding of China is, to a certain extent, due to his dissemination of Chinese culture.

His detective novel "The Cases of Di Gongjie in the Tang Dynasty", which was created based on the folk legends, operas, and vernacular novels about Di Renjie, successfully created the "Chinese Sherlock Holmes". It has been translated into many foreign languages ​​and published, leaving a significant mark in the history of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.

As early as the Qing Dynasty, we had the public case novel "Di Gong'an", originally named "The Four Strange Cases of Wu Zetian", also known as "The Complete Biography of Di Lianggong" and "The Four Strange Cases of Di Lianggong". It tells the story of Di Renjie settling unjust cases when he was the magistrate of Changping County and rectifying the government when he was the prime minister.

In addition, there are Bao Gong (Bao Zheng), Gong Jian (Shi Shilun), Hai Gong (Hai Rui)... We have a complex about the great official~
When Xia Tian saw half of the movie, he had the information and content of the apocalypse in his mind.
So, it is clear what Xia Tian is going to write.

"The new book is called - Detective Di Renjie!"

Xia Tian has thought of six stories for now. One story can be serialized for at least four months, so six stories can be serialized for two years!
Yuan Fang, how do you see?
My lord, there must be something fishy going on here. Please let Yan Shuangying go into battle!
The three of them chatted for a long time about the new novel, but then the topic went off topic and, somehow, started talking about the couples in the crew.

Xiaoxu said that she saw Chen Jianyue and Hou Changrong secretly going shopping yesterday: "They are so brave, going out in pairs, it's a bit too open!"

Zhang Li also said: "Maybe the filming of the play is almost done, so I don't care about these things anymore... I heard that the last few scenes will be filmed at Rongguo Mansion in Zhengding, maybe in July or August."

What Zhang Li was actually worried about was Xiaoxu's work after the filming of the play, and she was also reminding Xia Tian to make preparations early.

But Xiaoxu herself is not really worried about this kind of thing, she doesn't care too much about it.

Xia Tian blinked at Zhang Li and said, "As for them, I think they have already obtained the marriage certificate!"

Xiao Xu and Zhang Li didn't believe it, of course. They laughed and said, "How did you know they got the marriage certificate?"

Xia Tian raised his chin and said, "I looked up and saw that they were very close to each other. That means good things are about to happen!"

Xiao Xu immediately said: "Then why don't you look at yourself, when will your good thing happen?"

"My good deeds...I have good deeds every day~"

Xiao Xu immediately became angry and said to Zhang Li: "Beat him!"

Xia Tian immediately admitted his mistake and took the hands of the two men and rubbed them in his palms: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, I give in. I'm telling you something~"

Zhang Li glanced at the three people's clasped hands and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that she was trying to change the subject, Xiao Xu rolled his eyes at her.

Xia Tian said, "Director Yang Jie and her crew from Journey to the West are now filming the Kingdom of Women at He Garden in Yangzhou. We can go visit them!"

The term "visiting the set" is quite novel, but the two girls understood it and were very interested in it.

(The original filming location of the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West, Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden)
