Chapter 1463 1465 [Ruilong Museum]
"Legend of Liulichang" is the work of screenwriter Zou Jingzhi.
He is three years older than Xiang Nan. He also worked as an educated youth back then. After returning to the city, he worked as a mason and welded iron pots. He is versatile.
In 1982, he began to try writing, and applied for the Central Radio and Television University to receive adult education. In 1987, he was transferred to "Poetry" magazine as an editor without stopping to write.
In the 1990s, I started trying to write a screenplay. This "Legend of Liulichang" was written by him based on the stories he had heard, plus a little artistic creation.
It tells the legendary story of the three male protagonists, Yuan Yushan, a simple and honest farmer, Jin Baoyuan, a down-and-out Baylor, and Cui Heyou, who eats soft food, in Liulichang.
After the script was written, he entrusted someone to Xiang Nan to see if it was suitable for use.
Xiang Nan bought it for 50,000 yuan after seeing it.
He watched this TV series when he was very young and thought it was very good. The plot is full of ups and downs, full of people's hearts, it is a rare masterpiece.
Zou Jingzhi made her first pot of gold and was full of confidence in screenwriting. Afterwards, she created many good dramas.
Of course, this is all for later.
…
"Legend of Liulichang" immediately began casting.
Zhang Guoli did his part and decided on the role of Jin Baoyuan.
This down-and-out Baylor, he is very familiar with acting and is the most suitable.
As for the role of Yuan Yushan, Ouyang Fenqiang originally recommended Li Baotian to play the role. He thought he was the most suitable to play this honest farmer.
However, Zhang Guoli thought that Li Baotian was too old to play the role of a young farmer. Even if he has no problem with his acting skills and can play the immaturity and innocence of young people, his image will be greatly compromised, which will affect the quality of the series.
So after the two discussed, they finally decided on Feng Yuanzheng of Renyi.
Zhang Guoli and Feng Yuanzheng have co-starred in "Mixed in Yanjing" before, so I know that he is very good at acting. Guaranteed to be able to play the role of Yuan Yushan, an upright young man, well.
As for the role of Cui Heyou, who eats soft food, both of them chose Xing Minshan by coincidence.
On the one hand, Xing Minshan was born as a Kunqu opera actor, and he is suitable for both singing, reciting and playing. And Cui Heyou in the play also sang operas, and was expelled from the troupe because of hanging out with Mrs. Kuo, so the character setting is just right.
On the one hand, Xing Minshan is also well-known. In 1993, Qilu TV station filmed "Heroes with White Eyebrows", and his role as Bai Yunrui captivated many audiences.
After the male actor was selected, the heroine Jiuer was selected.
Zhang Guoli recommended Wu Yue, who had previously collaborated in "The Story of Yanjing Late Autumn". Not only does her image fit the role, but her acting skills are also very good. She just won the Fei Tian Award for Best Supporting Actress this year.
After the list of actors was confirmed, it was submitted to Xiang Nan for approval. Xiang Nan immediately agreed to shoot after reading it. So "Legend of Liulichang" is officially ready for filming.
…
When "Legend of Liulichang" and "Huanzhugege" started filming one after another, Feng Xiaogang also took a new script and wanted to make it into a movie.
Xiang Nan took it and saw that it was "See You or Be Square", he smiled and nodded.
This play tells the story of two Yanjing people who have been exiled to the United States for several years, and their love-hate entanglement.
"You were inspired by "The People of Yanjing in New York" and borrowed from the American blockbuster "When Harry Met Sally", right?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
Feng Xiaogang clapped his hands sincerely, "Master Cheng, you are amazing!"
The story of "See You or Be There" is indeed his inspiration from the 1990s blockbuster movie "When Harry Met Sally". Coupled with his experience when he went to the United States to film "Yanjing People in New York", this script was finally combined.
He thinks it should be good.
"You are amazing." Xiang Nan praised with a smile.
Mostly, the director bought the copyright and copied it completely, but he didn't understand it.
"So, you agreed to shoot?" Feng Xiaogang laughed.
"Why don't you agree to something that can make money for me?" Xiang Nan laughed.
Feng Xiaogang nodded.
…
Entering 1997, other directors of Kirin Films were filming, but Zhang Yimou did not direct new films.
Xiang Nan didn't urge him. He knew that "Speak Well" directed by Zhang Yimou last year did not win an international award. When it was released in the mainland, the box office was not good, which affected his mood and creation.
So he needs a period of dormancy to think about the future.
This is a process of becoming a butterfly, and Xiang Nan naturally doesn't want to interrupt it deliberately.
So he gave Zhang Yimou time to think and speculate.
…
Entering 1997, Xiang Nan's museum finally opened after more than a year of preparation.
The museum is named Ruilong Museum, and its location is on Zhushikou West Street, Chongwen District, next to Liulichang.
Ruilong Museum has a total collection of more than 37,000 pieces, among which there are more than 2,000 pieces that qualify as national first-class cultural relics, all of which are first-class treasures.
Many of them even the National Museum and the Palace Museum are extremely greedy.
For example, during the Five Dynasties period, the landscape axis of Monk Juran; the mirror of sea beasts and grapes in Tang Dynasty; the authentic calligraphy of Huizong in Northern Song Dynasty...
The media also reported one after another, and there was a lot of publicity for a while.
"Cheng Jianjun is really amazing. He actually has a private museum. It is said that the collection is richer than that of the Forbidden City."
"I heard reports that people have been collecting since the 1970s. At that time, the cultural relics in the cultural relics store were so cheap, only a few dozen dollars."
"Oh, I regret it! When I was rich, why didn't I buy a few cultural relics for storage. You can buy Kangyonggan porcelain for tens of yuan, and now you can sell it for tens of thousands."
After reading the report, the people were full of envy.
At the end of the 1990s, antique collections gradually became popular, and the auction prices of cultural relics reached new highs year by year. Many people know that antiques can be sold for money, so everyone is fascinated.
And seeing that Xiang Nan opened a museum by himself, so many good treasures naturally came to learn from it.
Therefore, as soon as the museum opened, those lovers of cultural and antiques immediately flocked to the museum, crowding the museum.
When they looked at the treasures in the glass cabinet, they almost all had the same expression, amazed, salivating, wishing they could stretch out their hands from their eyes, grab the things and run away.
…
"Jianjun, you really bought a lot of good things these years." Han Chunming said enviously, "Hey, there are many more here, all of which I gave to you."
"Yes, many of my collections are yours." Xiang Nan said with emotion, "If you want to take it back now, I can give it up."
"Forget it, since I gave it to you, how can I take it back." Chunming hesitated, then waved his hands.
When he sold these treasures to Xiang Nan, he only exchanged them for more than 20 million yuan. Now there are probably more than 200 million antiques. To be honest, he regretted it a little.
But when a gentleman says a word, he whips the horse quickly. What's more, the more than 20 million at that time was used for saving lives, and the significance was much greater than 200 million. So he won't regret it.
Dear book friends, during the Spring Festival, Lao Bai also has to rest for two days, so there are only two updates a day. I hope everyone can understand!
gratitude!
