Chapter 76: The Song Was About Yu Ji, but There Was No Overlord to Protect Him

In front of the screen, everyone 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."

I just 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 it was a Japanese officer, and now it is a high-ranking official of the Nationalist Party.

No matter which dynasty or generation, he could not escape the identity of a plaything.

He was singing Yu Ji, but there was no king to protect him.

Alas...

What is even more regrettable is that the king on the stage not only did not protect him, but in the next era, he exposed his scars nakedly in public.

It was obviously helpless, but he was excluded and criticized by the world again and again.

Alas, I can only say one word.

Miserable!

...

In the picture, the times changed.

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 seems to be moving in a good direction.

Dieyi finally returned to his senior brother.

Although Senior Brother has Juxian by his side, at least on stage, Senior Brother is still Yu Ji's overlord.

Zhou Wen sighed softly in front of the screen.

Everything seems to be developing in a good direction, but according to the tone of this film... I always feel uneasy.

He whispered to Li Zhiming: "Before... that period of time, they can finally live a peaceful life, right?"

Even if we jump directly to that period of time.

From 1949 to 1966, can Cheng Dieyi be happy for a few years?

Li Zhiming shook his head.

He can't be happy.

Zhou Wen sighed for a long time, "The screenwriter should not be so cruel, making Cheng Dieyi miserable from beginning to end. I really suddenly understand what the young people said, the feeling of sending knives to the screenwriter."

Li Zhiming smiled and patted his arm and gave him a look.

As if to say, the screenwriter is 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, the Overlord is still the Overlord.

Yu Ji, however, was replaced by someone else.

The person who replaced Cheng Dieyi was the abandoned baby he rescued and the apprentice he adopted - Xiao Si.

In front of the screen.

Section Chief Wang cursed in a low voice: "TMD, this ungrateful wolf!"

Section Chief Liu whispered: "I feel that Xiao Si has always wanted to turn over. When Master Yuan Si died, he was so excited. He wants to be a star, but he also wants to replace the big man in the past, whether it is Master Yuan Si or his master."

Section Chief Wang was stunned, "Master Yuan Si, Xiao Si, these two names are really similar."

Section Chief Liu was also stunned, "Hey, 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 perspective, who is his master?

Of course, it is his master Cheng Dieyi.

That's why he actively went to the meeting, got power, and squeezed out Cheng Dieyi.

Section Chief Liu sighed and said, "As a member of the lower class, he was excited to defeat Master Yuan Si and replace Master Yuan Si to gain the right to speak; as an apprentice, he defeated his master, replaced Cheng Dieyi, and became Concubine Yu."

"That's right!" Section Chief Wang nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and patted Section Chief Liu, "Now that you say that, I suddenly feel that he will not do to Master Yuan Si like the lower class did to Master Yuan Si, and kill his master, right?"

"No, no?" Section Chief Liu was shocked.

Neither of them continued to speak.

But after this analysis, they all had a bad premonition in their hearts.

From the perspective of fate, "killing Cheng Dieyi" is probably a foregone conclusion.

I just don't know how it will happen.

...

16 years have passed.

In 1966, the storm was coming.

At night, it rained heavily.

Amid the radio broadcast, Duan Xiaolou and Juxian burned old items in the house.

Juxian put on her wedding clothes, feeling uneasy, and asked Duan Xiaolou: "Duan Xiaolou, you won't abandon me, will you?"

Duan Xiaolou tutted, 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 can also not expose him, you have seen the end of Yuan Shiqing."

...

Section Chief Wang spit, "Damn! He just doesn't want to bear the stigma of betraying his teacher and destroying his ancestors, and he wants to stab Cheng Dieyi hard 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 curses people.

He is really different every moment.

"Old Wang, calm down."

"Calm down! My blood pressure has risen, hurry up and kill this little Si for me!"

Section Chief Liu smiled helplessly.

...

In the picture, the story continues.

Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi are wearing their costumes, and they are hung with signs of criticism and parade through the streets.

The loud sound of criticism echoed in Duan Xiaolou's ears, just like the King of Chu was surrounded by enemies.

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.

It was a deep backstab for the two.

Since then, Cheng Dieyi has completely lost the Overlord who "refused to cross the Yangtze River" in the play.

For him, the only thing left is the play itself.

After a tearful flame transition.

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 really well shot. Just looking at the picture, there is a sense of personal powerlessness under the great era. But if you read it carefully, you will find that the Confucius Temple symbolizes etiquette, and Cheng Dieyi's costume symbolizes music. This scene is about the collapse of etiquette and the destruction of music, right?"

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.

On Duan Xiaolou, he first 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.

Finally, 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 finally went to the fire to save the sword and gave it back to Cheng Dieyi.

Yuan Siye gave the sword to Cheng Dieyi, and the two developed a close relationship.

When the sword returned to Yuan Siye again, he went to the court to save Cheng Dieyi, and the two broke up.

Even Eunuch Zhang was related to the sword.

The first time he appeared, he was high and mighty and had the sword. The last time he appeared, he was like a beggar selling cigarettes. Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi appeared in front of him with the sword.

A sword connects the main actors together, and the design can be described in one word, absolutely!

A clue connects everyone!
