"TV Series" Issue 181

The rouge snowy edge calls the heavy door

The archways have locked up a hundred years of youth,

On the door is the glorious grace of the past,

Under the door are trapped lonely souls;

Unwilling to wait and hope for the future,

Who can knock on the lonely door,

Who can Light an everlasting lamp?

The flowers and smoke are just a passing dream,

The crimson rouge snow falls in the wind,

Continuing the unfinished fate between you and me...

Rouge Scars

The Tangyue Archway Group near Shexian County, Anhui Province, has seven original archways, three built in the Ming Dynasty and four built in the Qing Dynasty. The seven archways are arranged in groups, which is spectacular. Each archway is exquisitely crafted and has a solemn appearance. Looking from afar in late spring, there is an indescribable heaviness. The Tangyue Archway, which spans a century, has inspired many literary works and film and television works. The archway group spans a century and continues the glory of the old family for a century. This historical and cultural landscape has given literati and TV drama producers a broad creative space. An archway tells a story, and a chastity archway is a woman's buried youth, with traces of crimson tears remaining. The ancient ethics have reached the people and become a solid backing for power. Behind the honor of the family is the gloom and arrogance of the patriarchal system. It makes people almost suffocate. [Rouge Snow] In the opening chapter of the original novel, the series of winding archways that resemble dragons were briefly mentioned, which became the background of the entire story.

The Joy of Water

[Rouge Snow], [The Last Princess] and [Rose Rivers and Lakes] are collectively called Yu Zheng's "Women's Trilogy". At the beginning of 2008, Yu Zheng's "Women's Trilogy" has already caused a lot of noise. Looking at the mainland TV drama screenwriters, Yu Zheng should be regarded as a very conspicuous one - high-profile writing and filming dramas. He updated his blog with great interest and had lively chats with drama fans in the post bar. Compared with other screenwriters, his life as a screenwriter was just like the name he gave to his blog: "Fish loves water", wanton and Confident and arrogant. As a screenwriter of TV series, he is one of the few people who can control the script very well. The shooting content of the series basically conforms to the original script. Whether as a novelist or a screenwriter, he is able to retain the original works in the TV series adaptation to the greatest extent. kind of ability. Not to mention the storyline of the drama itself, most of Yu Zheng's dramas can achieve good ratings, which is inseparable from the many stars and beautiful characters brought together in the drama. Particularly outstanding is his "Women Trilogy" this year. The characters in the drama are pleasing to the eye, and the costumes and accessories are all exquisite and rare in period dramas and costume dramas.

Coupled with director Teng Wenji's sophisticated grasp of TV dramas and reasonable polishing of the plot, [Rouge Snow] was so popular when it was broadcast The results were satisfactory to the creators.

Butterfly in the Ice Sea

After watching the drama, what impressed me most was the beauty of Fan Bingbing in the drama. She has many film and television works in recent years, but the tone of "Rouge Snow" is different from the previous dramas she starred in. Her image in the drama is no longer a beauty full of dust, a witch who brings disaster to the country and the people, or a carefree naughty princess. , but transformed into a young lady from a wealthy family who understands the righteousness and integrity and presides over the family business with heart. She still has a charming face and gorgeous clothes, but because of the change in role, she becomes more indifferent between turns. From the young maid Jin Suo to today's Wen Yuhe, Fan Bingbing is like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, experiencing beautiful transformation. Even if it is windy and rainy along the way, she flies gracefully and dazzlingly.

A cup of melancholy can lead to a few years of separation. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The infinite scenery of the Zhumen Courtyard imprisons the bright and flamboyant youth, covers up the wanton and dirty desires flowing inside, and buries unspeakable secrets. After a series of romances, the proud chastity archway in the town, and the proud family reputation of the Gu family, Huo Yin passed away, or became depressed, or twisted and perverted. What surged in the blood and tears was the once fresh and pure soul.

Why meet by mistake

Wen Yuhe and Xia Yunkai

Wen Yuhe who is unwilling to marry into the Gu family and Xia Yunkai who tries every means to get into the Gu family , met by the river in summer, one was anxious, the other was surprised, one wanted to escape, and the other wanted to get closer. It was not a very romantic encounter, and all that was left was Wen Yuhe's sad words after looking back: "It was you who ruined me." life.

"If it weren't for the Gu family and Bai Yiling's past, Yuhe and Yunkai would undoubtedly be a good match. One is a well-spoken daughter of a wealthy family who dares to think and act; the other is a teacher who wants to go to school, who is polite and respectful. Love and justice are important, and they are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, arithmetic, foreign languages, kung fu, and business. They can be called the rare good men of the Republic of China. Such a pair of beautiful people who are well matched both in appearance and inwardness have become closer to each other because of their misplaced encounter. The second time they met, Yuhe mistakenly thought that the dignified and courteous gentleman in front of him was his future husband. He couldn't hide his joy and walked into the Gu Mansion. Only when he lifted his hijab did he realize that the man was supposed to be there. The husband at the wedding had no idea where he was, and the person who repaid her papaya to Qiongju turned out to be the housekeeper of the Gu family. Suddenly, the newlyweds' dream was shattered, and when they woke up, they realized that the unknown husband was indeed her husband. He was indeed the "prodigal son" type that she feared most. She had nowhere to express her anger and was helpless. Gu Li's emotional words made Yuhe let go of her guard. In order to repay the Gu family for treating Wen family. Due to his kindness, Yuhe decided to stay and accepted the impossible task set by Gu Li - to reform his rebellious husband Gu Shaotang.

When they met twice, Yunkai felt a lot of guilt for Yuhe. , is self-blame, because his two unintentional actions changed Yuhe's fate. This is a guilt that he cannot bear as a man, so he sees Yuhe being wronged and treated unfairly in the Gu family. , Yun Kai couldn't bear the plotting and exclusion from his sister-in-law. He used his own way to solve Yuhe's problems, and always appeared in time when Yuhe encountered embarrassment and difficulties to help Yuhe get out of trouble. Bai Yiling, who pretends to be committed to life but whose whereabouts are unknown, feels more like sympathy for Yuhe after seeing a weak person, self-blame for her previous behavior, and a helping hand as a friend, and the two feel guilty. The first time it was kindness, the third time it became a habit. He was used to following her figure with his eyes, used to caring about her emotions, used to being called her protector and healing place... Gradually, her smile began to give him warmth, and she The slight frown and the tears touched his heart, love spread inadvertently, and he was instantly lovesick.

The moment Yun Kai put the jade pendant in Yu He's hand, she must have been in her heart. She was secretly happy and relieved, because what she was most worried about was marrying a dandy, but the gentle and jade-like man in front of her not only saw through her trials and understood her intentions, he was also so humble, courteous, handsome, and extraordinary. If you have a husband, he will be like this again. What to ask for? So she stepped into the Gu family door willingly. When she was disappointed and sad after knowing the truth, Yun Kai took her away regardless of her safety. This risky move made Yu He completely relieved and decided to stay in the Gu family. The jade pendant tells each other that their fate has ended, and since then they have different personalities and have nothing to do with each other. However, both of them live under the same roof. How can it be easy to completely forget the relationship? Coupled with the unmotivated Gu Shaotang, the relationship continues. Shanghai Yuhe's clumsy tricks have increased the chances for Yuhe and Yunkai to get along with each other. The love gathered bit by bit has been covered with "identity" and "chastity", but they have not dared to break through it. It wasn't until Yuhe was divorced by Shaotang and became free that he could truly "see the moonlight when the clouds clear".

Wen Yuhe and Gu Shaotang

The meeting of newlywed Yan'er was neither a wedding ceremony nor wedding ceremony, but a farce of catching a thief in Lantern Square. The newlywed husband, whom he had not seen for many days, suddenly appeared. Instead of saying hello to his beloved wife, he secretly stole the family's money to spread money for other women, and he stole the money in a brazen and domineering manner. Yuhe didn't have a good impression of Shaotang from the beginning. This nominal husband was unimproved and spoiled and arrogant. He was clearly the idle second generation ancestor who was spoiled by his family. However, Yuhe had a temperament that refused to admit defeat. Since his mother-in-law Having made a promise in front of her, she wanted to turn Shaotang's stubborn stone into gold. If she could let him successfully take over the family business, she, Wen Yuhe, would not have married into the Gu family in vain. The days of reforming Shaotang were difficult and long. Yuhe did not expect that her husband, who her mother-in-law said had "good intentions", would be so stubborn, irresponsible and unwilling to make progress. He showed no mercy when bullying her, which not only insulted her self-esteem but also strained her muscles and bones. Besides, Xia Yunkai and Shaotang, the good and good men beside her, formed a sharp and strong contrast, so their likes and dislikes for the two of them naturally grew. Have a clue.

It turns out that Rumeng, whom Shaotang liked, died unexpectedly. Yuhe then realized that Shaotang's visit to the brothel was not because he was a romantic, but because he was also an infatuated person. When he first met Rumeng, he didn't know Rumeng's identity. I simply like this girl. Feeling relieved and empty, I just noticed my wife Yuhe who was waiting at home.

People are often like this. You don't cherish things that are within your reach, but only those things that are difficult for you to have will be considered precious. You can't get them anymore, but when you come back to your senses, you find: the most needed and most important things. What you want is always by your side, but you push it further and further away. So I spent more energy and started over. Shaotang begged Yuhe for forgiveness, and seeing her husband trying to change his serious attitude to prove his true feelings, Yuhe finally recognized Shaotang as his husband. The seemingly loving couple revealed their relationship in a joke about Shouzhen—— "Respect each other as guests." It's not "like glue" or "sweet love", it's just "respecting each other as guests". Shaotang understood that there was something missing between them. She did not get the heartfelt "love" from Yuhe. What she got was Yuhe's "responsibility" as the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family. What grew out of the negative emotions of uneasiness and loss was the suspicion of Yuhe and Yunkai, and the misjudgment that the two had an affair. Shaotang once again hurt Yuhe, who only wanted to be a good wife. , also caused Yuhe to lose her child. When he had a lot of time, Shaotang cheated, gambled, and made a series of squandering actions that made the entire Gu family worse. After struggling to survive through hard work, he finally changed his mind and wanted to live a good life with Yuhe, but God didn't. Give him more time and opportunity. The good time you squandered is something you will never get back.

Gu Shouzhen

The principle of the ball is that the greater the pressure, the greater the rebound force of the ball. The result of excessive suppression is likely to explode. Shouzhen is the youngest daughter of the Gu family. Mrs. Gu Li used the old principles of being a lady to restrain Shouzhen in the Gu family's mansion. She must behave in everything, be dignified in everything, and be careful in everything. She was young and active, so how could she withstand such control? The more she was not allowed to go out, the more she had the urge to experience new things outside. At home, she is the fourth young lady of the Gu family, who moves her steps lightly and keeps her voice quiet; outside her home, she is an actress with soft lips and a voice as sweet as a silver bell. After attending a foreign school and seeing the openness and freedom of new ideas, how can I still bear the temper and die of youth in an old house? Shouzhen met Xia Yunkai, a former teacher at home. The innocent and ignorant girl fell in love with the erudite teacher. Yunkai, who cared about Yi Ling and Yuhe, treated Shouzhen like a young student and a cute and lovely sister. . Knowing that the teacher was in love with his third sister-in-law, Shouzhen felt deceived and went astray without thinking. It wasn't a big mistake for her to help A Tao bully Yu He, but it was a big mistake for her to approach Qiu Guisan. She ruined her future.

Why be so cruel?

Gu Lishi

I have never seen Liu Xuehua play such a cruel, selfish and crazy mother. In my memory, her image always looks like a weak one. Shui is a woman as gentle as the wind. Looking at her smiling and talking in prison, Guisan, who has been accustomed to watching bandits for decades, has a nervous breakdown and begs for death. In addition to feeling nauseated and churning in his stomach, he is also That weird smile made me feel frightened. But if it can leave a strong impression of horror on the audience, Liu Xuehua's role as "Gu Lishi" is successful.

Mrs. Gu Li was the first victim of the Gu family. She married into the Gu family, and her husband loved someone else. He even wanted to abandon his wife at all costs and fly away with others. She was helpless and despairing. She used her husband's Flesh and blood to resolve the lingering hatred and unwillingness in my heart. She won the first honor of "chastity" for the Gu family. After years of holding back and keeping secrets and abiding by family rules and mottos, her heart has gradually begun to twist. She no longer explodes in silence, but becomes perverted in silence. Ms. Gu Li did not have the courage to change her destiny and existing living conditions. She tried her best to think about how to maintain the current situation. She did not work hard enough and forced her eldest daughter-in-law to keep her integrity silently. Her second daughter-in-law Yiling was treated as a living dead. She accidentally After stabbing her to death, she decided to stab Wangchun to death together. The many actions he made in the Gu family were done for the sake of the Gu family's face in a bright way, selfish in a subtle way, and psychologically abnormal in a straightforward way.

Ning Moxin

The men of the Gu family are all wild men. The old man tried to leave home with others, and the eldest son also left his wife and children after marrying and ran away without knowing it. Is he really wandering around or has he become a dead soul somewhere? Mo Xin has become a widow, and has been living as a widow for a long time. The years have left traces on her appearance. She was terrified that she would die alone. The appearance of the little tailor Wangchun gave Mo Xin a glimmer of skylight in the courtyard deep in the heart. She was in power in Lantern Place because she had the ability and trust. Yuhe's arrival made her panic. She was afraid that if she lost her power and money, she would have nothing to do. If Wangchun would leave her, she would be lonely in the house for the rest of her life. .

The agency was too clever in their calculations, but lost her son's life. The loss of her son made Mo Xin completely understand the sorrows and joys of the world. Even when she was framed by Ah Fu, she was neither humble nor arrogant. Her questions were deafening and enlightening, making the so-called patriarchs of the Gu family guilty and anxious. The leap by the river was her final farewell to her "peaceful heart".

I like the scene at the end: everything is settled, Yuhe and Yunkai are walking together on the street, and in front of them is a pretty woman in a dress, seemingly silent, sitting on a rickshaw and hurried by , the expressions of Yuhe and Yunkai were first surprised and then understanding, and finally they looked at each other and smiled knowingly - everything depends on man-made efforts, as long as you are willing, there is always hope.

A Tao

Compared with "The Red Line" a few years ago, "A Tao" shows that Li Qian has made a great breakthrough in her role as a villain. Today, Li Qian plays every movie She will continue to grow in her acting skills after the show, and she is also working hard to try different roles to enrich her experience. A Tao's subservience in the early stage, her lack of understanding in the middle stage, and her ulterior motives in the later stage to boldly tease Li Qian's interpretation of "A Tao" was accurate and clear, so the movements and gestures of Aunt Tao in the later period were enough to be annoying, and there was something that could not be pulled out of A Tao's body. The vulgarity and unreasonableness of the people in the market were revealed when Li Qian twisted her waist and fanned her little fan. In fact, A Tao is not a treacherous person. She is also an innocent victim who was deceived. It is only because she fell in love with the wrong person. A Niu's reason for getting rid of her is not as plausible as what he said. A Tao also You shouldn't put all the blame on Yuhe. She didn't have much knowledge or knowledge, and she only had some small tricks. The Gu family's lantern shop was defeated by her, but she didn't have a good ending. The jewelry she fished out was all robbed, and she was a lonely girl who really didn't know how to live.

Why be silent?

Bai Yiling

Bai Yiling is the most innocent among a group of women. The young and beautiful girl was inexplicably disfigured by her father and used the ghost marriage method She was married into her husband's family to observe the law. All her father, who was full of old and decadent thoughts, could only think of exchanging his daughter's life of happiness and freedom for a cold chastity memorial. Yi Ling did not resist, she chose to remain silent and let others manipulate her. Yi Ling, who married into the Gu family, lived alone and never saw the light of day because of Gu Li's paranoid thoughts. Seeing Yun Kai coming to see her, she was indeed in a state of uncertainty between joy and pain - how else could she meet her face? Now Yi Ling is worse than a ghost, so how can she be the same Yi Ling who talked happily with you and smiled like a flower? Yun Kai was willing to take responsibility for her, but she was kind-hearted but could not bear this friendship. She chose to leave and exchange her lonely life for a happy life for two people, but she was so lonely.

Xiao Rumeng

The brothel girls have always been a place to invite girls. It is precisely because men have seen through the wind and moon that they can see the world more sharply and thoroughly, fearing that I'm afraid that if I accidentally understand the true feelings, I will often be unable to avoid disasters one after another. Xiao Rumeng approached Shaotang under Guisan's arrangement. The overall plan suddenly changed when Rumeng fell in love with Shaotang. On one side was the man she loved, and on the other was Guisan, whom she was afraid of. She did not dare to tell Shaotang The truth is that he timidly obeyed Guisan's arrangements, and "love" defeated "fear". But she became a dead soul under the gun.

As soon as you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea

In this house, there are strict ancestral and family precepts to stipulate and control people. When you get angry, there are some unwritten rules that you must abide by. If you accidentally break a taboo, it cannot be solved with a few family rules. You will be heartbroken and hurt, and there is no hope of going out. It is just a small thing to be treated coldly and sarcastically. It is inexplicable that you are not here yet. It is a tragic thing in the world to be humanely destroyed when you come back to your senses, or even die without a place to go, and have your bones ripped out by cramps. For those who are even more unlucky, their souls may not be able to rest in peace if they die in vain. Therefore, in order to protect your own peace, you must abide by the rules after entering the house -

1. Ask less, talk less and do more. Put away your curiosity, shut up your gossip, don't gossip about your wife, grandma, young lady, master, young master and aunt, and don't come up with blind ideas to join in the fun. Disasters often come from the mouth.

2. Don’t go to forbidden areas. The fact that it is marked as a "forbidden area" clearly shows that there are ulterior secrets hidden inside, which may be unbearable, painful, or terrifying. You have to uncover the secrets. It is simply because you are living too comfortably and want to seek the thrill of escape.

3. Don’t hire servants who are too pretty.

It is applicable to both men and women. A maid who is too beautiful can't escape the covetation and clutches of the old and young men in the house if she has a good heart. If she has a bad heart, she can't escape the desire to stir up troubles and help others to do harm. By the way, she covets the property and status of the family, and goes out of her way to make a good maid. The aunt's little abacus; the too handsome housekeeper and servant, standing there are fatal poison to the young lady or young lady's family. The woman in the house, whose emotions have been suppressed for a long time, will tremble in her heart and want to stick out the wall to see the colorful world outside. If she has a handsome housekeeper, she won't even have to waste the effort to stick out the wall, and " "Wolf" has more meat but less meat, can there be no trouble at home?

4. Beware of scheming servants. A person who is too scheming will never forget to make calculations and plan for his or her own interests no matter what position he or she is in. Today you are his (her) master and his (her) powerful backer. Tomorrow you will lose power or... If another master appears, he or she may frame you and kill you.

5. Never, never, never eat the sauce that has been circulated for a long time in the old house and has unknown origin, unknown production process, unknown raw materials and unknown production mentality! The more delicious it is, the more suspicious it is. The longer it lasts, the scarier it becomes. If you don’t want to feel your stomach churning, nauseated, or even collapse and go crazy after knowing the truth, don’t eat it casually!

Those things that seem familiar

No drama is perfect, and the editor is not always looking for faults, but after watching too many dramas, and seeing some familiar lines and plots, I had the urge to spit it out.

1. When Yuhe and Shaotang got married and lived together for the first time, the old lady and Sister-in-law Fang eavesdropped outside the house and heard Shaotang and Yuhe arguing about who slept on the floor and who slept. During the conversation on the bed, they misunderstood that the young couple had consummated their marriage (Episode 3). This plot is similar to the funny part in the 2005 new version of [Liao Zhai: Xiao Cui] when the silly boy Yuan Feng (played by Lin Zhiying) and the repaying fox Xiao Cui (played by Li Bingbing) lived together for the first time after their wedding. The conversations were basically similar, and even the reactions of the two elders eavesdropping outside the room were exactly the same.

2. Although the newly introduced Shaotang is not a villain, he is a standard second-generation ancestor. He spends money like water, is silent and gentle, and has made a group of friends who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. When Shaotang was ordered to study accounting at home, a group of bad friends came to visit. They were so bored in the garden that they made a bet on the color of Yuhe's bellyband as a child. Shaotang not only agreed but also took Yuhe's bellyband forcibly. A few buddies show (Episode 5). In the story of the first unit of "Phoenix Quartet" in 2006, there was a plot where the prodigal Wang Yulin (played by Chen Jianfeng) made a bet with his brothers and then snatched the bride Wei Yufeng (Charmaine Sheh)'s bellyband and showed it to outsiders, but the location was slightly different. different.

3. In the play, Mrs. Gu Li talked about the conflict between the eldest daughter-in-law Ning Moxin and the third daughter-in-law Wen Yuhe, and when she taught Yuhe a lesson, she once said, "When you first return home, you will have a new baby." and "Everything thrives when a family is harmonious, but when a family falls, there is no peace." These two sentences alone are fine, but together they remind me of the theme song from 2005's "My Sassy Grandma". The opening of the theme song sung by Wang Mingquan, Myolie Wu and Bosco Bosco is really "new arrival, new baby, baby". The first lyrics sung by Bosco Bosco are "Everything is prosperous when the family is harmonious, but there is no peace when the family is declining." There is nothing wrong with using these two sentences to comment on the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the discourse habits of "newly embraced, born with a child" and "family decline" are common Cantonese expressions of the generation in Guangzhou. "New embrace" originally means "heart embrace", Qu Wengshan, who is known as the first person among the "Three Lingnan Masters", recorded in "Guangdong Xinyu" three hundred years ago: "Guangzhou calls a bride a new hug." I would like to ask Mrs. Gu, a woman living in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and her environment is closed, how can she speak Cantonese proverbs?

4. At the end of the series, Gu Li’s secret is that the delicious sauce she has treasured and made for many years is actually made from the well water in which the old lady’s body was soaked. All the people under his leadership ate soy sauce. This eerie fact made people shudder. When watching Gu Li madly telling Guisan the truth and driving Guisan crazy, he suddenly remembered Li Bihua's novel "Chaozhou Alley - The Woman Eating Braised Goose". In the novel, there is a braised goose shop in Chaozhou Alley, known as "the best delicacy in the world". The old shop has a large vat of 47-year-old brine. The braised goose in the shop is delicious and tempting, capturing the stomachs of countless people. , the small shop was developed by the proprietress after the boss ran away from home. The landlady Chen Liuqing's husband cheated on her with another woman and son. After her begging for help failed, she killed her husband and pretended that her husband had deserted the family.

In the next three days, Chen Liuqing mixed her husband's brine with the brine at home to make a large vat of mellow-tasting, "full of hard work" brine. She only told her daughter when she found out she was getting married. In the novel, Chen Liuqing's behavior is comparable to that of Gu Li's, and both have a love and hate that penetrates into the bone marrow.

Rouge Snow

In the novel, Yuhe told Yunkai about "Rouge Snow", and in the TV series, Yunkai told Yuhe. In the novel, "Rouge Snow" is An important medium for the emotional development of Yun Kai and Yu He, it appears many times in the story. Together with fireflies and fireworks, it is the three necessary treasures to create a romantic mood; in the TV series "Rouge Snow" mainly draws on its artistic conception, except for what Yun Kai mentioned , only falling from the sky at the end of the episode.

Novel version: Yuhe stood on the bridge crying in shame and anger because of the bellyband incident. Yunkai comforted her after seeing it. Yuhe, who was in a better mood, told Yunkai what Rouge Snow he liked: "Behind my house There is a peach blossom forest, and every time the wind blows, the petals will fly all over the sky, making it look like snow, so my father called it Rouge Snow. He said it was a mixture of women's blood and tears. "

TV version: Yuhe was bullied by A Tao and when he was secretly sad, Yun Kaikai rescued him (Episode 20)

Yun Kai: "A rouge snow is extremely beautiful, but But it will take a year for her to sprout and grow slowly, and only after spring can the real rouge snow grow."

Yuhe: "A year of waiting has paid off for a while. Brilliant and dazzling, it will drift away in the wind in the end. Is it worth the wait?"

Yun Kai: "Destiny naturally blossoms and falls, but Yan Zhixue proves that human life truly existed and was truly beautiful. , everyone has the most beautiful part in their destiny, but it will not come easily and requires a long wait. Just like we are waiting for our rouge snow, you will find all the flowers that belong to you. All were once seeds; all flowers were once leaves, but they will eventually be gorgeous.
