Since 1983

There are also several bungalows in the courtyard of the guest house, which are used as back kitchens and warehouses. There are platform scales in the warehouse. Girls often come here to weigh themselves after practicing in the morning.

It was the dead of night, most people were asleep, the upstairs was pitch black, only a few houses were still lit.

Two figures sneaked out of the building door, and ran into the back kitchen against the wall, one took it for granted at the door, and the other fought on the front line automatically.

There is no way, Chen Xiaoxu has this kind of virtue, he has many ideas, but he always hides behind others.

But when Xu Fei entered the warehouse, he saw that the room was full of bamboo baskets, stacked so high that he couldn't see inside. He stretched it in and scratched blindly, but he retracted immediately when he touched something, but it turned out to be a straight purple eggplant.

"eggplant……"

He wanted to touch a tomato, but an eggplant can also be used, so he reached in for the second time and grabbed it, this time it was a cucumber.

"Why are they all long strips?"

He stretched it in for the third time, ah, the round yo-yo was cool, it felt right, and sure enough, two tomatoes came out.

Xu Fei packed a bag with his clothes and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

"What did you touch?"

"One eggplant, one cucumber, and two persimmons."

"They have food and don't give it to us? Eat cabbage every now and then!"

Chen Xiaoxu was instantly annoyed, and said, "I heard that the production crew has saved a lot of money, it's called cutting corners."

"Then you reflect and reflect."

"I'm not going."

whispering sound!

Xu Fei didn't bother to talk about it, and went back upstairs lightly, and separated. Hou Changrong and Wu Xiaodong didn't sleep, they were reading the script with their hands in their hands, and when they saw him come back, they hurriedly asked, "Have you gained anything?"

"must have!"

He pocketed his clothes, "Be strict with your mouth, I will give you extra meals tomorrow."

Xu Fei tidied up and saw that the two were still sleepy, so he simply opened the script and read it under the lamp.

Technology is backward in this era, and there are no copiers, all of which are oily. It is a big box for ink, and then take a roller similar to wool and dust, put the paper in it, and roll it to form a sheet.

The printed fonts are thick and black, easy to smudge, and have a distinct smell of ink—it should be lost by now.

He just opened such a script, read it word by word, and recalled the plot of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions". There are indeed many differences.

It is said that during the preparation period of "A Dream of Red Mansions", people from all walks of life held a 15-day meeting in Huilongguan on how to adapt the script.

The faction headed by Zhou Ruchang supported the creative adaptation of the last 40 chapters; the faction headed by Feng Qiyong expressed that they would present the complete book of 120 chapters.

The situation at that time could be described as a war of words against the Confucians.

Because the last 40 chapters are Gao E's sequels, which are contrary to Cao Xueqin's wishes, and cannot be included in the original work. It wasn't until the end of the quarrel that all parties agreed to the crew's opinion, in eight words: Respect the original work and attach importance to the sequel.

So there was a script, Zhou Lei and Liu Genglu were in charge of the first 20 episodes, corresponding to the first 80 episodes. Zhou Ling is responsible for the last 7 episodes, corresponding to the sequel adaptation.

So there are 27 episodes in total. The one in Xu Fei's hand does not have the last 7 episodes, but just looking at the first one, you can see how many TV series have been deleted.

For example, at the beginning, Jia Yucun and Jiaoxing hook up, Yinglian is abducted by traffickers, Zhen's family and Calabash Temple are burned, Zhen Shiyin is down and out, etc., none of them.

It's not that the filming was not done, but that the filming was over, and the higher-ups organized a viewing meeting for senior cadres. The veteran cadre was very upset after watching a few episodes, saying that you have been acting for a long time, why haven't Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu come out yet?

Then it became the existing version, reducing the above content to half an episode, and in the second half of the episode Lin Daiyu went directly to Jia's mansion.

There is also the very pity of the illusory world. According to Zhou Ling, what he said at the time was to the effect that he was not allowed to shoot the dreaming part. Jia Baoyu pursued free marriage and was an anti-feudal fighter.

As the night deepened, Hou Changrong and Wu Xiaodong read the script for a long time, mainly trying to figure out the role they wanted to play and familiarize themselves with the lines. When the two were a little tired and wanted to turn off the lights and go to sleep, they found Xu Fei still sitting at the table.

Standing straight, with a pencil in his right hand, he writes and draws on the script. It's not the kind of simple character annotations, and even tore a few sheets of paper, which are densely packed.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw that they didn't understand each other.

Although this roommate is young, he doesn't dare to underestimate him at all. He usually does amazing things, but he doesn't know what he's doing in this meeting.

…………

April 10, nine o'clock in the morning.

After breakfast, everyone squeezed into the meeting room automatically and consciously, without shouting or rushing, and spread out their notebooks one by one, looking very serious.

The front desk was removed, and only a sofa was placed with a blackboard next to it to make room. There is also a tape recorder in front of the sofa, and it is recorded while speaking. Guo Xiaozhen (Shi Xiangyun) is in charge of this matter.

From the day before yesterday, some expert consultants began to give classes to everyone. On the first day, screenwriter Zhou Lei gave a lecture on "Introduction to Red Studies". On the second day, Hu Wenbin, a red scholar, gave a lecture on "Overview of Research on Red Studies at Home and Abroad".

Today is Mr. Deng Yunxiang, talking about folk etiquette in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Mr. Deng is a veteran of red studies, not only in "Dream of Red Mansions", but also in the study of the customs of the north and the south. He lived in the magic city for a long time, and came here specially for the training class, and lived next to Zhang Li——and later became the folk custom guide for the whole group.

Everyone waited for a while, and saw Wang Fulin helping the old man into the room, and sat down on the sofa.

Deng Yunxiang was seventy years old, and he was a little out of breath. After he recovered his breath, he spoke slowly:

"Everyone knows that "Dream of Red Mansions" has no dynasty to test. Cao Xueqin deliberately blurred the background of the age and even the geographical area. For example, whether the location of Jia's mansion is in the south or in the north is still debated.

Cao Xueqin wanted to hide the truth, but he couldn't hide many details of life, especially the folk etiquette inside. For example, basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation, sacrifices and visits to friends, lantern riddle troupes, etc., we can still see a lot of clues.

Today we will not talk about complicated ones, but about greetings. "

He drank his saliva and continued: "Actually, the Dream of Red Mansions reflects a lot of etiquette of the banner people. For example, in the ninth chapter, Jia Zheng asked who was with Baoyu, and three or four big men came in outside to beat Qian'er to say hello..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Deng stood up with the support of the sofa, and Wang Fulin quickly supported him, and saw the old man demonstrate himself, "Left leg takes a step forward, right leg bends half-kneeling, right hand half-clenches a fist and stretches down, this is called Daqian'er. It is a typical bannerman salute used by servants to meet their masters."

"..."

Seeing this, Xu Fei couldn't help being moved. In addition to taking notes, he tore a page of paper and drew a sketch with a few strokes.

Chen Xiaoxu tilted his head to look, he saw a simple and vivid eccentric little man, half kneeling on his right leg to salute, which was exactly the movement demonstrated by the old man.

She blinked, wrote a note and threw it over. Xu Fei took a look and said, "This method is good, clear and clear. After class, draw well, so that everyone can learn from it."

"It's not easy to get your compliment," he replied.

Chen Xiaoxu turned his head and ignored it.

"There are thirty-one more times. When Xiangyun arrives, all the sisters greet An. How do you greet An? According to the etiquette of the Han people, the right hand is on the top and the left hand is on the bottom. Half-clench the fist, put it below the chest, and move it up and down. This is called Wanfu.

According to the etiquette of bannermen, put your hands on your knees and bend your knees to touch your body. This is called please touch your body.

Is it Wanfu, or please Pingan? Cao Xueqin didn't write it clearly, you should think about it yourself.

These are salutations, not formal salutes. The grand ceremony is to kneel down and kowtow. The most vivid one is Chapter 62, Pinger pays homage to Baoyu on his birthday, please see how it is written..."

Some people were busy flipping through books, but Mr. Deng didn't have any drafts, so he said directly: "Ping'er bowed down, but Baoyu kept bowing; After one bow, Baoyu bowed back again."

He said to Wang Fulin, "You must pay attention to this passage. Women bow first, men bow first, and then kneel down and kowtow. One bow, one kneel and one kowtow, followed by another bow, this is considered complete.

Don't kowtow and hit Qian'er, it's a common courtesy of banner people, if it's casual, it's really going to be photographed to make people laugh. "

Wang Fulin nodded again and again, and Deng Yunxiang called again: "Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling?"

"Here!" Zhou Ling stood up slightly.

"One more thing, I read a paragraph you wrote last time. It is wrong to kowtow and raise your buttocks. Kowtowing your head and raising your buttocks means complete surrender. It is a very humble and despicable behavior. This needs to be changed.”

"Remember it!" Zhou Ling hurriedly said.

Mr. Deng's speech was very slow and his voice was low. The room was full of silence, for fear of missing a word. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared ahead, only the slight sound of writing, and the hoarse rotation of the tape recorder.

"..."

After coming here for more than ten days, what Xu Fei likes most is going to class.

Zhou Lei, Hu Wenbin, Deng Yunxiang, followed by Zhu Jiamo, Zhou Ruchang, Jiang Hesen, Wu Shichang, Qi Gong and so on. Without any remuneration, the film crew couldn't afford a car even if they were in distress.

The old men who are over half a century old all the way here by bus, stay for a meal at noon, and then go back by bus.

"It's not appropriate to let go of a foreign job first. I didn't say that at that time. It should be just letting go of the vacancy first."

"Wabai ice disappears, it's not appropriate, change it to disintegrate ice..."

I will deliberate word by word for you, and teach you logic by logic. Everyone knows that opportunities are not easy. Some people are not well-educated and don’t understand well, but they also filled the paper with notes, and borrowed a tape recorder when they went back, and then slowly pondered it on their own.

Young people in their twenties are lively and active, but they are most serious when they are in class.

These are the people who do learning in this era, and they are also the people who listen to learning in this era.

Later, how could there be anyone who learned like this, and how could anyone listen to learning like this...
