1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 258: Are you pregnant?

The cover of the 86th issue of "Popular Movies" in 9 was actually Brigitte Lin!

She is 32 years old now. She has not yet become a heroine. Her face has some flesh on it. The Athena look makes her look pure and lovely, with a hint of heroic spirit revealed between her brows.

However, what surprised Xia Tian even more was that two people kayaked from Hangzhou along the Grand Canal to Yanjing!

No, 1,800 kilometers? Kayaking? What kind of performance art is this?

School is about to start in September, and Teacher Wang told Xia Tian that the school will move from Zhuxinzhuang to Jimenqiao.

Well, that’s a good thing! At least it’s on the Third Ring Road, which means it’s much closer to the city.

But I don’t have time to help with the move.

"Teacher~My dear Teacher Wang~I want to ask for a leave!"

"no!"

"It's the crew of Red Mansions..."

"You are capable now! You have grown stronger! There are crews everywhere who need you!"

Xia Tian: My wings were strong from the beginning!
Teacher Wang is so angry!
"You're asking for leave just as school is about to start. Are you trying to piss me off to death? Forget about attending this last year!"

Xia Tian: Is there such a good thing? I mean don’t go to school in your last year, not to piss you off to death…

Finally, on September 9th, Xia took a day off and took a bus to Zhengding.

Because the 10th is "Daiyu Enters the Mansion", which is the beginning of the plot. You must watch it in summer, it has a good beginning and a good end!
……

Xia Tian greeted Director Wang and the others, distributed the food and small gifts he had brought to the actors in the crew, and finally went to Xiao Xu and Zhang Li's dormitory.

"Did you... miss me?" Looking at the two girls' watery eyes and slightly red faces, Xia Tian couldn't help but want to tease them.

"Bah! I can't remember!" Xiao Xu pulled Zhang Li and hid away.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Li smiled slyly: "I thought about it~"

"Ah?" Xiao Xu stared at Zhang Li with eyes wide open - "Traitor!" He reached out and tickled Zhang Li!
Suddenly Deng Jie poked her head in, and saw Xia Tian in the room, and immediately laughed: "Oh, I came at a bad time~"

This immediately made Xiaoxu and the other two blush.

Everything is ready, Daiyu will enter the mansion on the 10th.

From the real historical background, Daiyu took a boat from Yangzhou to Yanjing, sailing along the Grand Canal, which usually took about a month.

If we take a grain ship, it will be much slower.

According to Tan Qian's "Northern Travel Record" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, it would take eighty to ninety days.

Daiyu was riding on the official ship of the mansion, which was completely different.

But no matter what, this waterway was the busiest waterway in the country at that time, but no matter how slow it was, it couldn't be slower than the scene in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" where Daiyu enters the mansion.

Since the shot of the "Daiyu Going North" sailing ship was taken at Taiping Lake at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in September 84, her ship sailed for more than two years. It was not until September 9 that she got off the "ship" and walked on Ningrong Street in a sedan chair.

It took a long time to shoot just the scene where Daiyu gets out of the sedan chair.

In the picture, the sedan is shaking, Daiyu looks out from the window, lifts the curtain to get out of the sedan, and holds the sedan pole to get out. Her hands are all in close-up...

A series of delicate actions were shot in front of the ceremonial gate in the front yard of "Rongguo Mansion".

It took Da Yang more than an hour just to put makeup on Xiao Xu's hands!

The few days after Daiyu entered the mansion were all scattered shots.

The date came to the 15th, and we were going to film "Empress Yuan's Visit to Her Parents".

"The Princess's Visit" is a large episode, shot in five locations: the "Grandmother Jia's Room" at Xishan Studio in Beijing; the "Benevolence and Virtue" at Grand View Garden in Shanghai; the "Slender West Lake" in Yangzhou; the "White Cloud Temple" in Beijing...

Now all the important scenes mentioned above have been shot, and the last ones are Ningrong Street and Rongguo Mansion.

Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang... and other ladies, dressed up according to their rank, and lined up in front of the door in order, waiting to be received by the emperor.

As for the later remakes, men and women stood at the gate waiting - is this etiquette still necessary? It feels like a piece of history fiction!
This scene was also very tiring... We had to wait for the imperial guard, the chief eunuch, the junior eunuch, the palace maids, the female officials, the phoenix chariot... to pass by one team after another; we also had to wait for everyone's facial expressions and various close-ups.

It was hot in September, and the costumes were exquisitely made, with thick layers - it took several hours just to stand there!
Fortunately, we filmed this scene at night, otherwise several of us would have gotten heatstroke.

During the filming, Xia Tian and the others watched from a distance.

Xia Tian praised: "This face! It's amazing!"

Zhang Li asked: "How do you say that?"

Xia Tian: "This is a face that represents peace and prosperity for the country and the people! If I were the emperor, I would also choose a concubine like this!"

Xiaoxu laughed when he heard it: "What if you were Baoyu?" Xia Tian: "If I were Baoyu, I would..." He suddenly stopped talking.

Zhang Li: "What do you mean?"

Xia Tian: "I choose..."

Xiao Xu: "Who to choose?"

Xia Tian: "I choose to become a monk!"

Xiao Xu: "Bah! Hit him!"

Summer: Only children make choices, adults want them all!
……

After filming the Princess Yuan’s visit to her parents, it was Zhou Rui’s wife’s turn to deliver palace flowers.

It’s just what Daiyu said: I know that if others don’t pick out the leftovers, they won’t give them to me.

Xiao Xu is now in control of Dai Yan and Dai Yu~
The performance was so effortless that Director Wang praised it as good!

However, Xia Tian saw one thing.

A group of people were watching the performance. He asked Zhang Li in a low voice, "Has Chen Jianyue gained weight?"

Zhang Li carefully looked at Chen Jianyue who was not far away, "It seems so."

"Isn't this a bit..." Xia Tian looked at Chen Jianyue again.

After the filming was over, Xiao Xu asked, "Why are you still concerned about Jianyue's figure?"

Xia Tian looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered, "I suspect, maybe she is pregnant?"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Xu asked.

Zhang Li looked at Xia Tian with a little surprise.

Xia Tian nodded: "Maybe she's pregnant!"

The eyes are particularly sharp in summer - although Chinese medicine practitioners have no other skills, they are very talented in the four methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation, and can see something at a glance.

The three of them were just playing with crickets - no way?! This was a bit shocking!
As a result, Chen Jianyue happened to come over from not far away, and the three of them stopped talking and stared at her.

Chen Jianyue was also puzzled: Why are these three people looking at me?
"What's wrong?" She looked at herself. She was wearing loose clothes, so it shouldn't be noticed, right?

Zhang Li thought for a moment and asked, "Jianyue, how are you doing recently?"

"Fortunately."

Xiao Xu was more direct, "How far have you and Dahou... come?"

Chen Jianyue's face suddenly turned red. She whispered, "I'm telling you, don't spread this. If Director Wang finds out, we'll be criticized!"

Her face was flushed with joy, "We got the marriage certificate!"

"Ah! Really?!" Xiaoxu and Zhang Li were shocked by the news.

We agreed that dating is not allowed on the set, but I didn’t expect you two to get married secretly!

When these two were in the Old Summer Palace, they liked each other and would act as supporting roles for each other whenever they had nothing to do.

Later, Chen Jianyue fell ill and was hospitalized. Hou Changrong often visited her and bought her favorite cookies.

Later, the two of them got together.

When the Chinese New Year holiday came this year, the two of them got their marriage certificate in Shanghai.
The three of them looked at each other, and Zhang Li said, "Jianyue, do you... have a child?"

She asked in a low voice, and ended up blushing because of the question.

Chen Jianyue blushed and denied repeatedly: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Seeing that she didn't admit it, Xia Tian said, "It's good that there isn't one. After all, we're going to film a funeral in two days. That kind of scene is not good for pregnant women, especially for children!"

Xia Tian said this to scare her, of course - it was feudal superstition.

But Chen Jianyue's face turned pale, "No, I can't? Then, what should I do?" - she even spoke with a crying tone.

She is almost four months pregnant!

Zhang Li quietly reached out and pinched Xia Tian - You are scaring even pregnant women!
Xia Tian said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. An old person in the family is like a treasure! Well, go find grandma. She's experienced and knows a lot. Let her give you some advice, okay?!"

"Yes!" Chen Jianyue nodded repeatedly. Then she realized that this was a confession.
But there is no time to worry about it, let’s go find grandma!
Xiaoxu and Zhang Li also went with him, leaving Xia Tian behind.

Finally, Granny Liu came up with an idea - tie a red string around her waist to protect the child.
