Chapter 76
Everyone in front of the screen sighed.
At the same time, they were also amazed by Cheng Dieyi's appearance in"Peony Pavilion".
Zhou Wen sighed:"I have to say that this film does not have many scenes, but it is indeed enough to promote opera."
Just now, I heard the conversation between Director Li and Chen Xiao. There are many details in this film.
As long as it can attract the audience to watch it a few more times, someone will definitely be fascinated by the opera in it.
He now wants to imitate and hum a few times.
Director Li nodded.
The opera appearance is beautiful, but now he wants to sigh more about the meticulousness of the script and the sense of fate in it.
Single out this period of time.
The conflict began when Cheng Dieyi sang for the wounded soldiers at the bottom of the National D and ended with singing for the top of the National D, forming a perfect closed loop.
But whether for the bottom or the top of the power, Cheng Dieyi is a plaything, a plaything whose fate is arbitrarily controlled by others.
Compare it with each stage.
Since his first performance as Yu Ji, he has been singled out by powerful people in every historical stage.
First, it was Eunuch Zhang, who was taken away the first time he sang Yu Ji.
Then R's army���, and now he is a high-ranking official of the National D.
No matter which dynasty or generation, he has not been able to escape the status of a plaything.
He was singing about Yu Ji, but there was no Overlord to protect him.
Alas...
What is even more regrettable is that the Overlord on the stage not only did not protect him, but in the next era, he exposed his scars nakedly in public.
Obviously, these are all helpless things, but he has been excluded and criticized by the world again and again.
Alas, there is only one word to say.
Miserable!
……
In the picture, the times change.
1949.
The flags in the theater were replaced with red flags.
Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi reconciled and sang for the army together.
This time they were respected.
Cheng Dieyi decided to quit smoking opium and reconciled with Juxian.
Overall, it seemed to be moving in a good direction.
Dieyi finally returned to his senior brother.
Although his senior brother had Juxian by his side, at least on stage, his senior brother was still Yu Ji's overlord.
In front of the screen, Zhou Wen sighed softly.
Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but based on the tone of this film... I always feel uneasy.
He whispered to Li Zhiming,"Before... that period of time, they could finally live a peaceful life, right?"
Even if they jumped directly to that period of time.
From 1949 to 1966, can Cheng Dieyi be happy for a few years?
Li Zhiming shook his head.
No happiness.
Zhou Wen sighed deeply,"Screenwriter, please don't be so cruel, making Cheng Dieyi miserable from the beginning to the end. I suddenly understand what the young people said, the feeling of sending knives to the screenwriter."
Li Zhiming smiled and patted his arm, giving him a look.
As if to say, the screenwriter is right next to you, why do you say bad things in front of him?
Zhou Wen smiled awkwardly and looked at the screen again.
Soon, Zhou Wen's worries came true.
On the stage, Overlord is still Overlord.
Yu Ji, however, was replaced by someone else. The one who replaced Cheng Dieyi was none other than his adopted apprentice, Xiao Si, the abandoned baby he rescued.
In front of the screen.
Section Chief Wang cursed in a low voice:"Damn, this ungrateful bastard!"
Section Chief Liu whispered:"I feel that Xiao Si has always wanted to turn over. Look how excited he was when Master Yuan Si died. He wants to be a big shot, but he also wants to replace the big shots of the past, whether it was Master Yuan Si or his master."
Section Chief Wang was stunned,"Master Yuan Si, Xiao Si, these two names are so similar."
Section Chief Liu was also stunned,"Hey, you don't say, it's true!"
When Master Yuan Si was defeated, Xiao Si was particularly excited.
It seems that he realized that he could turn over and become the master, overthrow the original person in power and replace him.
From a personal point of view, who is his master?
Of course it is his master Cheng Dieyi.
That's why he actively went to meetings, got power, and squeezed out Cheng Dieyi.
Section Chief Liu sighed:"As a member of the lower class, he was excited to overthrow Master Yuan Si and replace Master Yuan Si to gain the right to speak; as an apprentice, he overthrew his master, replaced Cheng Dieyi, and became Concubine Yu."
"That's right!" Chief Wang nodded, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and patted Chief Liu on the shoulder,"Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel that he won't do to his master what the lower class did to Master Yuan Si, will he?"
"No, no way?" Chief Liu was shocked.
Neither of them continued to speak.
But after this analysis, they both had a bad feeling.
From the perspective of fate,"killing Cheng Dieyi" was probably a foregone conclusion.
But I didn't know how it would happen.
……
16 years have passed.
In 1966, the storm was about to come.
At night, it rained heavily.
Duan Xiaolou and Juxian burned old things in the house with the radio broadcasting.
Juxian put on her wedding clothes, feeling uneasy, and asked Duan Xiaolou:"Duan Xiaolou, you won't abandon me, will you?"
Duan Xiaolou sighed, as if to say"Why do you ask such a question?" but did not answer directly. After a lot of twists and turns.
The scene changed.
Xiao Si forced Duan Xiaolou to expose Cheng Dieyi
"You have to expose Cheng Dieyi! Of course, you don't have to expose him. You have seen what happened to Yuan Shiqing."
……
Section Chief Wang spitted,"Damn it! He just doesn't want to be branded as a traitor to his teacher and ancestors, so he wants to stab Cheng Dieyi again."
Section Chief Liu patted him helplessly.
This old Wang, he is the one who can't stand the complaints, and he is also the one who scolds people. He is really the same every moment.
"Calm down, old man."
"Calm down! My blood pressure is rising. Hurry up and kill this little Si for me!"
Liu Ke smiled helplessly.
……
In the picture, the story continues.
Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi are dressed in costumes, with signs of criticism hung on them, and are forced to parade through the streets.
The loud voices of criticism echoed in Duan Xiaolou's ears, just like the King of Chu being surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Juxian and Dieyi, one on the left and one on the right, guarded Duan Xiaolou.
Neither of them abandoned the King of Chu.
But then, in front of countless people.
Duan Xiaolou, with a distorted face, first exposed Dieyi's singing, smoking, and relationship with Yuan Shiqing. He also publicly announced that he did not love Juxian and drew a clear line between them.
He stabbed the two of them deeply in the back.
From then on, Cheng Dieyi completely lost the King of Chu who"refused to cross the Yangtze River to the east" in the play.
For him, the only thing left was the play itself.
After a transition with tears and flames.
Cheng Dieyi, wearing Yu Ji's costume, slumped in front of the Confucius Temple.
Juxian returned the sword that she had just thrown into the fire by Duan Xiaolou to Dieyi.
……
Zhou Wen whispered,"This scene is so well shot. Just looking at the picture, there is a sense of personal powerlessness in the great era. But if you interpret it carefully, you will find that the Confucius Temple symbolizes etiquette, and Cheng Dieyi's costume symbolizes music. Is this scene about the collapse of etiquette and the destruction of music?"
Li Zhiming nodded,"It should be."
Seeing this, Zhou Wen saw the collapse of etiquette and the destruction of music.
What he saw was that the sword finally completed one closed loop after another.
In Duan Xiaolou, at first he held the sword and said to Cheng Dieyi that if the Overlord had this sword, he would have killed Liu Bang long ago, and you would be the queen.
In the end, he got the sword, but threw it away and handed over Yu Ji.
On the day of Juxian's engagement, the sword appeared at the engagement ceremony. She hated the sword, but in the end she went to the fire to save the sword and returned it to Cheng Dieyi.
Yuan Siye gave the sword to Cheng Dieyi, and the two had an intimate relationship.
And the sword returned to Yuan Siye again, and he went to the court to save Cheng Dieyi, and the two broke up.
Even Eunuch Zhang was related to this sword.
The first time he appeared, he was high and mighty with this sword. The last time he appeared, he was like a beggar selling cigarettes. Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi appeared in front of him with this sword.
A sword connects all the leading actors together. The design can be described in one word: amazing!
A clue connects everyone together!
