[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

As for the candidates for Lin Daiyu in the crew, Zhao Changqing was dissatisfied with the left and the right, but the appearance was second, and the most important thing was temperament!temperament!

Lin Daiyu is a real noble daughter, but these actors, no matter which one, look like petty people.

Of course, this is inseparable from this era.

In this era when supplies are scarce and everything has to be purchased by ticket, both the crew and the actors have a cherished attitude towards supplies.Of course, this kind of cherishing is not out of respect for the labor of the people, but a kind of reluctance brought about by the shortage of supplies, just like people who are hungry and trapped on the ice sheet after escaping danger. Trying my best to store some food that can be stored, that kind of mentality that has not been adjusted from the mental illness that has almost fallen.

Even if Zhao Changqing gave the crew the best, it still couldn't erase the shadow that hung over the crew.

For this reason, Zhao Changqing took out a lot of silks and satins, which were really old silks woven by real old-fashioned looms in the silk museums of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

He asked these Lin Daiyu candidates to tear the silk and tear it into pieces in front of him.

Not to mention the actors, even the chief director Wang Fulin and the red experts in the crew were dumbfounded.

"You! What are you going to do?!"

"No matter how much money there is, it shouldn't be wasted like this!"

Wang Fulin even said: "In ancient times, in order to please the favorite concubine, there were foolish kings who tore countless maids. Today there is even the Duke of Great Britain..."

Zhao Changqing said straightforwardly: "Don't be stupid. The success of Lin Daiyu's role directly determines the honor and rewards I can get from this TV series. Lin Daiyu is poorly selected, and I can only get tens of millions of dollars at most. But if I choose well, from DVDs to peripherals, I can get back hundreds of millions of dollars, and it’s still every year!" As he said, pointing to those Lin Daiyu candidates, he said: "The problem is, these Lin Daiyu candidates, There is innocence, there is cuteness, but there is a kind of pettiness, but, the original goddess? Don't be funny!"

Wang Fulin felt that his aesthetics had been greatly despised.

He suppressed the temper that was about to explode, and said to Zhao Changqing: "You don't like it!"

Zhao Changqing nodded immediately: "Yes, I just don't like it!"

Zhao Changqing was very dissatisfied with Wang Fulin's image of Lin Daiyu as a poor ghost and a poor girl.

He said to Wang Fulin like this: "Who are the real poor people among the twelve beauties in the original book? It's not Wang Xifeng who holds the power of housekeeper of the Jia family, nor is it Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu who live under the fence. Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu are just because they are Unmarried girls don’t have parents by their side, so even if they have money, they can’t help them. They basically have no place to spend money in the Grand View Garden. Who are the real poor? It’s Xue Baochai’s Xue family!”

When Zhao Changqing put forward this point of view, the entire crew exclaimed.

Wang Fulin was the first to jump out and object.

Zhao Changqing said: "Ah, I forgot. I don't know how to measure the wealth of a family in China, but abroad, there is a proper term called disposable income. That is to say, income minus necessary expenses In addition, the part that can be used for saving, consumption and enjoyment. In the original book, the Xue family is a businessman, and the businessman does have a lot of money, but most of this money is used for working capital. And in In those days, besides buying low and selling high, and dealing with various taxes and miscellaneous taxes, businessmen also had to deal with exploitation from nobles and bigwigs. And could Aunt Xue do this kind of thing? Or Xue Pan? Got it? It was also said at the beginning of the original book that the Xue family's business was "depleted day by day". And once this kind of thing started, it would be like an avalanche, and a large amount of wealth would evaporate quickly. If the story just started At that time, the Xue family was still able to talk about millionaires. Then, in the period of the Grand View Garden, the Xue family’s property may only have 20 million taels of silver left. This is Xue Baochai’s Hengwu Garden, which basically has no decorations. The real reason for minimalism. Xue Baochai was able to hold a crab banquet for Shi Xiangyun, but because she was able to mobilize and control the resources of the Xue family, not because she was richer than Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu. The reason why Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu showed There is not much cash in hand, because one lives with her uncle and aunt, and all the property is kept by the Jia family. As unmarried girls, they have no right to control and cannot mobilize their property, because according to the custom, these properties will not be released until they get married. It’s not because they are poor! How much property they have, how much property they can control, and how much resources they can control are two different concepts! Resources and property are also two completely different concepts!”

In Zhao Changqing's view, although Wang Fulin has a pursuit of art, he is still a person of this era, bound by this era of material shortage.

It's like his understanding of rich and poor, with obvious marks of this era.

And this kind of brand mark is a fatal flaw for the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" they are preparing to shoot.

One of the founders of the crew, who was originally scheduled to play Mrs. Xing, now only concentrates on writing the script and no longer plays the role of Mrs. Xing, Mr. Li Lin asked:

"Then, what is your understanding of Lin Daiyu?"

"Princess! Must look like a real royal princess!"

Zhao Changqing scratched his hair a little frantically, causing his little grandson, Sun Shenyu, to hug his leg worriedly—ever since he brought Shen Yu out of the forest, Zhao Changqing never let this child out of his sight.He took this child with him wherever he went. He knew that Shen Yu was not used to being in the human world, so he was especially clinging to him.Before Shen Yu got used to it, he would personally take the child with him, whether it was eating, working, or resting.Because he knows that for a child like Shen Yu, waiting is a very, very difficult thing-Shen Yu is the name Zhao Changqing gave this child, and this child also has a nickname, because he was raised by a bobcat. The big one, so the nickname is Jiuming.

Zhao Changqing emphasized: "It is not the princess of the Qing Dynasty who treats the people as slaves, but the Han and Tang Dynasties, who were deeply influenced by Tang Taizong's thought that water can carry a boat and overturn it, and consciously restrained herself. The Princess Royal is humble, tolerant, and full of political and current affairs acumen and her own ideas."

Wang Fulin said, "Where's the evidence?"

"There are two pieces of evidence. One is that Xue Baochai asked Lin Daiyu to kneel down and admit his mistake after Shi Taijun had two banquets in the Grand View Garden. The other is about Grandma Liu."

Regarding Lin Daiyu's positioning and aura, Zhao Changqing was very clear: "Dream of Red Mansions tells a story that happened in a big feudal family. The premise is the feudal society, and the feudal society pays most attention to identity and rank! Everyone in the story is related to His social status and class are corresponding. Among them, the two roles of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are mirrors of each other! From the perspective of identity, Lin Daiyu is the highest among unmarried girls, while Xue Baochai is the most humble. The aura inside is the Queen's aura of "Although I am not high, but I am better than you, I will guide you"! Because of my humble status, I bluff, but also because of my humble status, I have a lack of education and make all kinds of jokes. I am still dead The aura of not looking back - we will talk about this later - and Lin Daiyu is the opposite of Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai is a self-proclaimed queen, while Lin Daiyu is a real princess! Not the kind of princess who must be obeyed by others, but a real princess The royal princess who regards herself as the master and adopts a humble attitude of tolerance, consideration, and understanding towards those around her! Even if other people's criticisms are not accurate, she still holds a humble attitude of "if there is something, I will improve it" This is where the charm of the two characters Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai lies! The scene where Xue Baochai asks Lin Daiyu to admit his mistakes because of those few lines is the best embodiment of their two mentalities!"

Zhao Changqing focused on this scene,

"Xue Baochai taught Lin Daiyu with the song 'A Beautiful Day and a Beautiful Day' in Romance of the West Chamber, but in fact, it was mentioned more than once in the original work that the little opera singers in Lixiangyuan often practiced their voices, and Romance of the West Chamber was their favorite song. The girls in China have also heard the libretto of The West Chamber more than once. Therefore, it is wrong for Xue Baochai to use this as a reason to teach Lin Daiyu a lesson. Blaming others for wrong reasons will only make her look more pathetic. But Lin Daiyu still accepts Xue Baochai opinion, and thus determined that Xue Baochai was a good person.

"If Lin Daiyu here seems very petty, then we will only see a lovely and pitiful Lin Daiyu, but we will not see Lin Daiyu's tolerance and humility. , aggressive Xue Baochai, but they can't see the guilty conscience behind Xue Baochai, and the audience will not even explore Xue Baochai's helplessness and sadness in having to bluff to seize everything he has!

"Casting is very important. Lin Daiyu in the original book is a transparent mirror. If this character is a little bit worse, it will not only destroy Lin Daiyu, but also greatly reduce the charm and depth of Xue Baochai's character."

"There is also the tragedy of Grandma Liu."

Zhao Changqing spoke seriously, and the rest of the crew also listened seriously,

"Lin Daiyu's identification of Grandma Liu must be determined from two aspects. One is to look at Grandma Liu herself, and the other is to look at it from behind the events of Grandma Liu. Judging from the performance of Grandma Liu when she visited the Grand View Garden, Grandma Liu was originally She is a good citizen, but what she does in the Grand View Garden is the work of actors and daughters. Although in the eyes of outsiders like us, Grandma Liu is a person full of wisdom in life. However, from the perspective of the master of a country Look, when a good citizen surrenders his status to do things of a lowly nationality, it must be a big problem for the country.

"No matter how many times it is said that Grandma Liu is a person with great wisdom in life, it still cannot change the fact that Grandma Liu exchanged her dignity for money. This is one of them.

"Grandma Liu would trade her dignity for money. Did she do it voluntarily? Or was she kidnapped by power and morality behind her back? In fact, it was clearly written in the book that Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang asked her to do this. Although not Transactions, however, are equally fraught with humiliation. What is even more sad is that neither the perpetrator nor the victim knows anything about it. And, those of us who read books have not discovered the implicit coercion and Injury. This is the sorrow of the present world, and it is also the sorrow of contemporary China. For Grandma Liu, this is her second sorrow. But for all of you present, this is also sorrow. What I can tell you clearly is that, Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang's request to Grandma Liu has violated human rights. But you didn't realize this, this is your sorrow."

"It is worth noting that the word "female locust" is the word "female locust". I think you must regard these three words as Lin Daiyu's narrow, powerful, and mean descriptions? Well, what I want to remind you is that locusts actually follow where they live. The visible grasshoppers are the same species. And this kind of creature has a characteristic, that is, when the number per unit of land area exceeds a critical value, it will become the most terrible disaster in the feudal era, the locust plague. The locust plague has passed, and food has become extinct , the people changed their sons to eat, and the tragedies, even the change of dynasty, were all related to the locust plague. Even Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who was known as the famous emperor through the ages, was also afraid of the locust plague. The man who killed his brothers and forced his father to abdicate The only time in his life that he bowed his head and pleaded guilty was because of the plague of locusts!

"The most terrifying locust plague is naturally the female locust, because the female locust can lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs at a time. As long as the temperature is right, the climate is dry and warm, these eggs will be fully recovered in just a few weeks. Hatch into new locusts. Therefore, once the locust plague broke out in ancient times, it was difficult to kill it, even today! In ancient times, the only way for the ancients to deal with the locust plague was to boil it! After the autumn, the temperature dropped sharply, and the new locust eggs No more hatching, and the hatched locusts were frozen to death at low temperature!"

"The reason why Lin Daiyu used 'mother locust' to describe Grandma Liu was actually a warning: a powerful family like the Jia family has taken bullying the people as a matter of course, and the people are almost driven to a desperate situation. When the number of people like Grandma Liu reaches a certain critical value, a mighty "locust plague" that will sweep the entire world and swallow the entire dynasty is about to come!"

"It's just because she lives in Jia's house, and this kind of words are not something a girl like her can say, so she said it in a particularly cryptic manner. Unfortunately, no one in the Grand View Garden is more in sync with her in terms of thinking. , let alone wake up.

"Isn't it more in line with Lin Daiyu's positioning in the original book to explain it this way? Because she is the incarnation of an orthodox literati with high hopes in the original book, that's why she's so sober. The changes in politics and the situation in the world are so sensitive, and it is precisely because it is the embodiment of the orthodox literati who place high hopes in the original book that they are so concerned about locusts and the people's livelihood. The incarnation of the orthodox literati will have the lost manuscript where Lin Daiyu dies and the Jia family has no power to turn around. Is this more reasonable?"

Wang Fulin was helpless.

Li Lin and other experts from the Red Chamber crew felt that Zhao Changqing's explanation of the female locust incident was a little more novel.

Yes, as a person who just walked out of that catastrophe, it was because of the female locust that he did not have a high opinion of Lin Daiyu and made such a treatment.

However, if this is the explanation...

Li Lin said curiously: "If this is the case, I am afraid that it is impossible to find a suitable person in the whole of China."

Zhao Changqing said: "Tell me, can I invite lesbians from the compound of the Beijing Military Region or the political commissar to play Lin Daiyu in the post? I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that their families will oppose their acting. However, if Lin Daiyu is really played , they will not have a second chance to be on the stage or on the screen. Because the audience will definitely not accept them playing other roles."

If it is the girls of the national leader's family, they must have enough confidence. If they have confidence, they will have an aura. With aura, they will be more suitable for training than these actresses now.

What Zhao Changqing was afraid of was that traditional old ideas made these girls and their elders discriminate against the profession of actors, so they refused to act.Therefore, when he posted the post to Zhongnanhai, he directly said that the actor who played the role of Lin Daiyu probably only had the role of Lin Daiyu in her acting career.Because the audience will never tolerate the actor who plays Sister Lin to play other film and television dramas or other roles.

Zhao Changqing had no idea that he had underestimated the charm of Dream of Red Mansions.In fact, if it wasn't for Wang Fulin's resolute refusal to accept someone from above, the actor of Lin Daiyu would have been appointed by default.

Moreover, Zhao Changqing said that once this role is played, it is very likely that he will never be able to appear on the stage or on the screen in the future. Instead, it has aroused the interest of those second-generation and third-generation red people.

Acting in Dream of Red Mansions, they are all little girls, and there will be no loss of reputation.

More importantly, acting in the Dream of the Red Chamber is an art, and other scripts are as compelling as the Dream of the Red Chamber?Does the Dream of the Red Chamber have a place in the hearts of Chinese people?Does Dream of the Red Chamber have a place in the world literary world?

Not to mention that the country's perception of Zhao Changqing is also somewhat complicated.

Zhao Changqing nestled in the crew of Dream of Red Mansions, arguing with Wang Fulin every day, completely ignoring that the outside world has turned upside down!

Yes, Fengyang suddenly interrupted the supply of building materials to Fengtai Special Development Zone, partly because their production capacity really couldn't keep up, and partly because someone put pressure on them.

However, Zhao Changqing has already placed orders with Beijing Iron and Steel No. [-] Factory, No. [-] Iron and Steel Factory, and Songyang No. [-] Iron and Steel Factory.Anyway, he has already done the same thing once in Fengyang, and now he doesn't need to do it himself, just send people.Besides, what if there is no domestic factory willing to process modules for him?At worst, he directly shipped the processed modules from abroad.Guarantees are many and good, and the yield rate is one level higher than that in China.

After all, those foreign factories have been doing this since the 30s.

When Zhao Changqing made a move, some people immediately became honest.

Fengyang saw that something was wrong, why didn't he jump up?

However, it was Zhao Changqing's decision not to supply goods from Fengyang, and it was also Zhao Changqing's decision to help the steel plants in Beijing and Songyang introduce cold-rolled steel technology. As long as Zhao Changqing does not change his mind, even his secretaries and secretary assistants will Will not decide on my own.

Not to mention, Zhao Changqing's secretaries and secretary assistants have long been irritated by a series of |unspoken|rules| rules in the country, so how could they speak for Fengyang Iron and Steel Works.

However, in this era, cold-rolled steel is a product that is extremely in demand, even if it is not sold in Fengtai Development Zone, there are other places to buy it.Compared with the cold-rolled steel that is in great demand, the rock wool insulation layer is a luxury!

That's right, Zhao Changqing plans to install rock wool insulation for every factory building, and his secretary assistants have already started contacting suitable factories.

Anyway, the technology belongs to Zhao Changqing, whoever Zhao Changqing likes can use it for.

Before Zhao Changqing personally talked with these state-owned enterprises, everyone did not take him seriously, some even regarded him as the boss of a private enterprise, but once Zhao Changqing started picking on Joe, everyone realized that this is the Duke of Great Britain, the richest man in the world, and a Roman Catholic Mascot, the temper that should have is not small at all!

More importantly, he has a high status, great power, and greater energy. As long as he wants, he can call materials from all over the world.If you want to get stuck with raw materials, they don't do this at all!

Now even Zhongnanhai knew that the British Duke's temper was on the rise.The problem is that what Zhao Changqing did is definitely beneficial to the country as a whole, but it will definitely harm the interests of a certain group, so the country is also discussing it.

Definitely can't lose popularity.On the contrary, people must be kept so that the country can obtain advanced Western technology.According to the new information sent by the embassy, ​​more than half of the world's patents are in the hands of Zhao Changqing, and now it seems that this information is quite conservative.

Therefore, fixing it is the first priority.

Since there will be no reputational damage for the children below to participate in Dream of Red Mansions and only once, even the leaders are not dissatisfied.

Just like that, six girls with oval faces from the compound of the military region and the compound of the political commissar came to the crew of Dream of Red Mansions.The oldest of them is 21 years old, and the youngest is only seventeen.No matter who is selected in the end, they will spend the next seven years in the crew of Dream of Red Mansions.

Of course, like other actors, they have to read the Four Books and Five Classics and take exams.But compared with other characters, they must also learn a skill:

Be a delicate woman.

The author has something to say: Segmentation is too troublesome, so the two chapters are combined into one.
