Looking Back at "Xia Nv" Hu Bugui (3)

When Gu Shengzhai's mother and son returned home, Miss Yang was in Tuanwotou. When they greeted each other, Miss Yang smiled. This is only polite, and this affection cannot be lost. The ancients talked about courtesy and turned into a way of life. Instinct is like breathing, and rude people have no room for survival. I would rather be unreasonable than polite. People who are cold and frosty, smile very precious, as if they have picked up a baby. Seeing Miss Yang smiled, I was a little surprised, thinking it was not my duty to see it.

Mother Gu asked her: "Oh, what's wrong with your face?" Shi Cai hung on the roof and rubbed his forehead. Miss Yang was surprised, wiped her forehead, but changed the subject with a smile, and leaned forward and asked Mother Gu: "You are better now." As expected, Mother Gu didn't ask, and sighed: "I'm old, it's impossible." "Here, Miss Xiang Yang is still covering her forehead. This traverse is wonderful. He didn't make up any nonsense and prevaricate, just a light call to save a lot of unnecessary gossip. The audience is waiting for Ms. Yang to explain, but it is so light and easy to avoid, there is no cliché at all, and there may not be such a design today. Screenwriters should learn and cherish ink like gold, and save some film for others.

Mother Gu put the packet of medicine on the table: "This big packet of medicine." A close-up of the medicine, and the next shot faded to Miss Yang's medicine scoop. This is a very old technique, and I often see it in old movies. The 87 version of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" often features a plaque or a feature when needed, such as "Tianxianglou", "Imperial Rongguo Mansion" and so on. This old method may have been circuitous, but now it is not used anymore, but I feel that Tianbao is left behind.

Gu Shengzhai asked Miss Yang if she knew Shiblindman. Miss Yang was startled, and then smiled and said she did not know her. Don't look at it as idle pen, this is to pave the way for the following article. When Gu asked this question, Yang Fang was vigilant, and later sent a note to Dr. Lu, "Gu Shengzhai is not an idle person." Otherwise, Gu is only privately wondering about Shi Xiazi, why did Miss Yang know about it.

The conversation between Gu's mother and Ms. Yang is homely. Gu's mother thought that the reason why Miss Yang refused to marry was "I think our family is poor", but Miss Yang smiled: "Our family is not even poorer." She said with a smile, the tone of indifferent carelessness to the rich and the poor is beyond the ability of the spoiled government official. Speaking out, it's not so free and easy as the children of the grass, it must be the experience of the poets and writers who have gone through the ups and downs.

The old man deliberately put the topic on his son's life, expressing desperation, not only moving Miss Yang's intentions, but also real self-compassion. As mentioned above, the form of marriage of the poor is greater than the content. The key to marrying a wife is to "marry". Without this behavior, life is incomplete. To this day, the marriage of children is still related to the integrity of their lives, and parents cannot separate their lives from the next generation. Therefore, Gu Xingzhai's non-marriage told his mother that it was not only unfilial, but also a failure in his life.

After listening to Miss Yang's expression after Gu's mother sighed, I suddenly remembered the word "stunned", which came from "Chibi Fu" "Su Zi was shocked, sitting in danger". For some reason, the first reaction was this word. The word "autumn" may be able to describe it all. Seeing Jiang Xun's "Revolutionary Solitude" in "Six Lectures on Solitude" mentions Qiu Jin, my heart is cold and warm. Looking now, there are shadows on Fang Jueyang or Xu Feng. Xu Fengzhi is fierce, desperately rebellious and arrogant. I also think of the word "anxiously", which came from "A Dream of Red Mansions" Lin Daiyu "changed anxiously" after hearing the words "Furong Daughter Di". But this "anxious" is no more compassionate and sorrowful than "Yanran". This expression alone is very concise in the ancient prose, and there is no rambling plot of gossip, so stop here, and the text is ready to come out later. I even saw the beating of the text, and it felt so strange that I couldn't tell.

During the day, in the city, Gu Xingzhai greeted Doctor Lu, asked him about the East Factory, and asked him to go out. When asked about Ouyang Nian, Doctor Lu was alert. At this time, Ms. Yang, who happened to be dressed as a men's clothing, pretended to pass by, and threw a note to Dr. Lu: "Gu Shengzhai is not a leisurely person." Miss Yang knows people! This is not the true story of the Gu family, but the true story of Miss Yang.

Ms. Yang led Gu Xingzhai to the barren mountain and appeared: "Gu Gongzi, come to me tonight." The barren mountain was filled with rocks, weeds, and smoke. Lao Hu likes to smoke, to set off the atmosphere, and the barren mountains become more and more desolate. Too clean is less mysterious. But today's film and television use cigarettes, but it is a bit hard. Why? The style of the old film is not completely realistic, and there are some indispensable stylized freehand brushes, such as the gongs and drums of Hu Jinquan's Beijing opera. These elements are combined together to look good. But today's film and television get rid of the old style, and some elements of the old time may not be good-looking. The 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" uses dubbing, which can well match the characters' slightly staged performances, while the new version tends to be life-oriented, and dubbing is used again, which looks fake.

The shot of Xu Feng's menswear wearing a hat standing on the rock and telling Gu Xingzhai is too fanciful, with a white collar in a soapy coat and the two straps of the hat fluttering in the wind.
