753: My Qingwen Is Here (4 More)
She said it sounded familiar.
Daguanyuan is not only built to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions", but like places such as Prince Gong's Mansion and the Summer Palace, many tourists who come to Beijing will visit the scenic spot of Daguanyuan.
Xia Xiaolan only knew that there was such a place, and had eaten nearby, but did not go in for a stroll.
In the past, she was dismissive of these man-made attractions, and she had no literary talent, so she would not visit the Grand View Garden because of the influence of famous books and TV series. I watched it on TV, and my attention was on the actors and characters, not the Grand View Garden, which served as the background for the shooting.
"Our task today is to be my grandfather's assistant. There are also red scholars, experts in the field of ancient architecture, landscape scholars from the south, scholars of Qing history... This used to be a royal vegetable garden."
Ning Xue quickly introduced the situation to Xia Xiaolan.
If Ning Xue told her earlier that she was coming to Daguan Garden, Xia Xiaolan would still be able to crawl through the original book "Dream of Red Mansions" at home.
Even the Red Scholar has come. The Grand View Garden must be repaired according to the description in the book. Xia Xiaolan should be able to feel it more carefully by comparing the original work.
Ning Xueshen also had a little emotion. Xia Xiaolan suspected that it was her shameless behavior of first refusing, then turning her head and hugging her thighs, which made Ning Xue uncomfortable, and felt that Ning Xue would not be so boring.
Or, Ning Xue would never have imagined that she was a straight girl of steel who had no plot from a famous novel.
The Royal Vegetable Garden, as the name suggests, is a place to grow vegetables for the royal family. The Jiashu Office was built here in the Ming Dynasty. This time, the Grand View Garden was rebuilt on the original site of the Jiashu Office.
How to restore the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions" using the original scenery of Jiashu Department and spend the least amount of money is a problem that everyone has to consider.
As for whether the experts' time is worth it?
Red scholars are afraid that they want to rush here even if they don’t need wages. There are several factions of red credits, and each faction feels that it is the orthodox.
What's the point of arguing in newspapers and magazines, no one agrees.
If you are invited to repair the Grand View Garden, it is like having an official certification, and you will have confidence when you talk about it: You are amazing, why don't you invite you to repair the Grand View Garden?
This is seniority.
As for other Qing historians and garden artists, including master architects like Ning Yanfan, they are invited. The manpower of 1985 is the least valuable. It is good for Ning Yanfan to open his own studio. The monthly salary is not too much.
Putting all the experts and masters together, none of the materials for repairing the garden are worth much.
In fact, the Grand View Garden has been partially repaired. Xia Xiaolan remembers the two places most clearly, one is "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" and the other is "Yihong Courtyard". The place where the hero and heroine in the book lived, she was more impressed.
He trotted all the way, followed behind Ning Xue, and joined the army.
Two young girls, appearing among a bunch of old men and middle-aged gay men, are really conspicuous.
Xia Xiaolan just wanted to be a little assistant silently and feel the atmosphere of working with the master, but Ning Lao turned his head and the others followed Ning Yanfan's line of sight.
"Classmate Xia?!"
In the crowd, there were also familiar faces, and it was the tour guide Wang Linshu who had met at the house of Editor-in-Chief Cui before.
Director Wang pushed aside the people in front of him, "Student Xia, have you changed your mind? You don't want to play Qingwen, and there are other roles. Let's study it carefully, and we can always choose the one that suits you..."
Director Wang is very willful.
Others are dissatisfied.
What are all the messes, young girls nowadays are so willing to go out and want to act, and they have come to the Grand View Garden? It is rare for so many scholars and experts to gather together today, how could the rhythm be disrupted by an actress!
Director Wang is really enthusiastic, and Xia Xiaolan's embarrassment is not fake:
"Director Wang, you misunderstood. I didn't know you were here. I'm here to be an assistant today."
Ning Yanfan chuckled, "Student Xia was hired by me to be my assistant. Director Wang, did you misunderstand something?"
There are people all over the country who can study architecture, what kind of movies are they filming, how many people can get into Huaqing with their brains?
Ning Yanfan didn't open his mouth again, and was fooled by Wang Linshu. The young girl had bad concentration and really gave up her major in architecture to switch to the screen. Ning Yanfan felt that she was very difficult to explain to her grandmother.
Wang Linshu patted his head:
"I forgot it again. You are a student of the Department of Architecture. You are terrifying. You can be Ning Lao's assistant at such a young age."
I can't blame Wang Linshu, everyone just happened to be standing in the Yihong Courtyard, when Wang Linshu saw Xia Xiaolan, he felt that his "Qingwen" was coming, so he lost his temper.
Not to mention Wang Linshu, the two red scholars present felt that Xia Xiaolan had a good image when they saw her. Director Wang wanted to find 'Qingwen'. Isn't this just like 'Qingwen'? The only embarrassing thing is to let Xia Xiaolan be the one Qingwen', may be prettier than the actress who played 'Daiyu'.
However, the entanglement of the Red Scientists is unfounded. Xia Xiaolan is an assistant called by Ning Yanfan to help, and they can only press it down if they have any thoughts.
Xia Xiaolan followed Ning Yanfan obediently, Ning Xue was curious, Xia Xiaolan lowered her voice:
"Talk to you later."
This little episode did not affect the discussion just now. Wang Dao glanced at Xia Xiaolan and pointed to the bare courtyard: "Here are some plantains, and the other side is Xifu Begonia, which is green, fat, red and thin. It was written by Cao Gong himself..."
Director Wang is talking about Jingzi, he is the director, and he thinks about how to frame the scene well.
Ning Yanfan is not a garden artist, he is a house repairer, and he works with a group of people to study "Dream of Red Mansions"
What did he say, he asked Xia Xiaolan and Ning Xue to be his assistants, not to listen to the Hongxue lecture.
"Come on, I'll show you guys."
Xia Xiaolan followed Ning Yanfan, and the old man took her and Ning Xue to a nearby open space. Above was a tarpaulin shed. There were some messy things on the ground, chipped stone piers, blackened window lattices, There are whole beams and columns shipped, some masters are cleaning wood with planers, and some are cleaning broken stone piers with chisels.
"For projects like the Grand View Garden, we call them antique buildings. The materials are half real and half fake. We use modern technology to restore ancient buildings..."
Xia Xiaolan grabbed her notebook.
This is where he came to be an assistant, he is clearly here to listen to the master's small class, or to teach on the spot!
Appreciation of ancient architecture, this course was also offered in the Department of Architecture last semester, and the saliva in the class was flying, how could it be combined with the live teaching and interesting. Ning Yanfan took advantage of the construction of the Grand View Garden to open a small stove for his granddaughter Ning Xue, and actually put Xia Xiaolan on it - such an opportunity, no wonder Su Jing wanted to pinch her.
Ning Yanfan talked for a while, and asked Xia Xiaolan and Ning Xue to take two small brushes to clean the dust of the wood carvings on the window lattice. Xia Xiaolan squatted on the ground and brushed up and down. She couldn't care about Qingwen or filming TV. Listen to Ning Yanfan say a few more words, it is true!
