Chapter 96 "The Young Emperor" wraps up
The third day of the first lunar month.
While the crew resumed work, Xu Kun finally received the news that should have come a long time ago - sexual harassment has occurred in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places.
But neither the wording in the news reports nor the tone of people's chats seemed to be taken seriously.
Xu Kun was a little confused about this, and after digging through his long-standing memories, he discovered that SARS suddenly received great attention after the weather got warmer.
In other words, it was only after YQ officially broke out in Beijing that it received great attention.
Afterwards, based on the feedback from inmates, Hebei - at least southern Hebei, there was a lot of thunder and a small amount of rain. There were at most a few patients who came back from the capital, but it did not cause the spread of YQ in the local area.
However, the epidemic in Beijing should still be relatively serious.
Therefore, Xu Kun tried his best to exaggerate the tragedy of Hong Kong Island in the crew, reminding everyone to be careful and prepare some masks, cold medicine, convenience food and so on in advance to reduce travel during YQ.
Not to mention this.
After the crew started working again, the plot of the entire drama also reached its climax. The Hua Shuangzi family, Prince Zheng, Wu Yunzhu, Wu Liangfu, and Jidu all died or died unexpectedly.
Even Emperor Shunzhi himself wanted to lose the throne to Yue Le and become a monk, but he could not escape the bowl of poisonous wine sent by Xiaozhuang - but this part has an open ending, and there is no conclusive conclusion. It means that Shunzhi was poisoned to death.
After Shunzhi died, it was Wu Liangfu's turn.
It can be said that the death of the old eunuch was not unjust. The lines used by Cui Bo to seduce Xu Kun twice came from the scene where Wu Liangfu and Tong Layue were having sex.
Teacher Li Jianyi [Wu Liangfu] has no real object, and relies entirely on voice interpretation. Those obscene lines of 'Mother, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, feed my mother' are simply immersive. The scenery is breathtaking.
Moreover, director Liu Heng also specially arranged for the three-year-old Kangxi to witness the scene of his mother and the old eunuch eating each other.
Putting aside the plot of being sentenced to death in the end, Wu Liangfu, an old eunuch who has been in the palace since the Ming Dynasty, has been prestigious in the Shunzhi Dynasty for more than ten years, and even slept with Kangxi's biological mother. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a 'winner in life' .
Not long after Wu Liangfu came to an end, Jidu, who tried to use military remonstrance to prevent Shunzhi from passing the throne to Yue Le, also came to an end in Tianlao.
Wow~
Hearing the sound of the iron lock on the cell door, Jidu [Xu Kun] who was lying on the bed jumped up and saw Sony coming in holding his family's treasured sword.
He was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up, with one hand hanging on his chest and the other behind his back. Although he was dressed in a miserable state in prison uniform, he still had an intimidating and intimidating demeanor.
This is a scene that is not in the original work, and it is also the memory point set by Xu Kun for 'Jidu'. He will assume this pose every time he appears. Over time, he has mastered his demeanor quite well.
The exploration of ‘eye skills’ for more than three months was also revealed at this moment.
When Sony announced to the public that Jidu had died of a sudden illness, implying that Jidu's grandson Xuan Ye would be the one to take the throne, Jidu's eyes seemed to shine with light.
After watching Sony leave, he resolutely pulled out the family heirloom sword. The sharp light of the sword first reflected the pale and frightened face of Prince Xun beside him, and then left a scene on the wall of Jidu committing suicide with the sword.
This scene was later changed by Liu Heng. Originally, he hit the wall and died while reading the script, but Liu Heng felt that there should be a sense of inheritance ceremony, so he changed it to Jidu's family heirloom sword.
As for Xu Kun, he didn't dare to change the plot this time, mainly because his screenwriting skills were far inferior to that of Mr. Liu.
After filming the final scene, Xu Kun closed the door and fell asleep.
As a result, Bao Qiang suddenly woke him up in the middle of the night, and he was heard shouting happily: "Brother Kun, Brother Kun, you won the prize, "Blind Shaft" won the prize!"
Xu Kun stared at it for a long time, and then he suddenly realized that it was so dark during the recent filming that he had forgotten about "The Blind Shaft" participating in the Berlin International Film Festival.
He hurriedly asked Baoqiang, "Is it true or false? Is it a golden bear or a silver bear?!"
"It's the Silver Bear, what kind of art award is there!" Hearing that it wasn't the Golden Bear, Xu Kun felt a little regretful, but the second place was not bad. "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was so praised in the newspapers, wasn't it? Just a silver bear?
It's a pity that there is no best rookie this year.
Xu Kun took out his Nokia, turned it on and found that there was indeed a missed call from Li Yang, but when he called it, the line was always busy.
It wasn't until the next morning that he contacted Li Yang.
Li Yang seemed very excited. Although he failed to win the Golden Bear this time, he at least beat Zhang Yimou's "Hero" - Lao Mouzi failed to return at the Berlin Film Festival this time. The huge "Hero" 》In the end, I only got a consolation prize.
Li Yang then regretfully expressed that reports in the mainland would most likely focus on him as the director, rather than praising the two leading actors like the original "Seventeen-Year-Old Cycling".
This is not entirely due to the lack of the two Newcomer Awards, but mainly because the plot of "The Blind Shaft" is difficult to publicize openly, and when mentioning the actors' roles, it is inevitable to mention the specific plot.
"But the distributor on Hong Kong Island has already negotiated with me overnight. It will be publicly released on Hong Kong Island in April. If you want to develop on Hong Kong Island, this is a good opportunity. I can I’ll take you to Hong Kong Island for promotion.”
To this, Xu Kun naturally refused. He was doing well in the mainland, but recently he climbed up the two big trees of Ge Family and Lan Lao. He would only go to Hong Kong Island to make fun of him if he was mentally ill.
After that, the crew spent another seven or eight days sewing and mending, and it was not until February 28 that the filming was officially announced.
The night after the finals banquet, only Baoqiang lived in the dormitory of three people.
The next morning, when Xu Kun came back from the small hotel, Deng Chao and Hao Lei had not returned yet.
Xu Kun and Bao Qiang packed their luggage and walked around, saying goodbye to the crew. In the girls' dormitory, Hao Lei had already returned, but Huo Siyan was 'missing'.
Yang Rong was also saying goodbye to people everywhere, but unlike Xu Kun, she also brought a bunch of souvenirs - all the maple leaves she brought back from Xiangshan last year were made into bookmark specimens.
When Xu Kun and Baoqiang returned to the dormitory again, Deng Chaozheng was slumped on the bed like a salted fish. It seemed that he had tried his best yesterday.
Xu Kun sat on the head of his bed, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "What, have you been squeezed dry by Sister Lei?"
"Call me brother-in-law."
"Bah~"
Xu Kun spat in his face, and then seriously suggested: "I have a girlfriend, I have acted as a leading actor, and I have made money. Let's go back to my hometown during this period and let my parents be happy too."
With that said, he turned to Baoqiang: "And you, you didn't go back during the Chinese New Year. You might as well stay at home for two months before coming back this time."
It’s hard to say the exact time, but SARS will definitely break out in Beijing within two months.
"That's too long."
Baoqiang scratched his head and suddenly looked at Xu Kun hopefully: "Brother Kun, why don't you go home with me."
If it weren't for the YQ factor, Xu Kun would really want to visit Baoqiang's hometown.
But now if he bumps into YQ Fengcun, it will be embarrassing for him as a foreigner, and he might even bring unnecessary trouble to the Baoqiang family.
So he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future. I am also planning to go back to my hometown for a while this time to put an end to the past things."
In addition to his reputation as a domineering person in his early years, Xu Kun also wanted to 'settlement' things with his parents. He didn't want to wait until he became popular and be teased by relatives who had long since stopped contacting him.
