Chapter 33 I watched "Emperor Qianlong and the Three Girls"

Two days ago, I watched "Emperor Qianlong and the Three Girls" directed by Li Hanxiang. The ancients said: "There are a lot of articles in the world." Li Hanxiang is really an expert in copywriting.Digging a tunnel from the palace, leading directly to the private nest of the prostitute, when the bronze bell rang, everyone avoided it. This was entirely a love affair between the emperor of the Song Dynasty and Li Shishi.Although Qianlong was also a romantic emperor, he was not so dissolute. Although some scenes in the movie were exaggerated and exaggerated to increase the comedy atmosphere, it was unavoidable to slander the old man of the emperor.The third girl is a beautiful woman from Suzhou. The beauties of the former dynasty paid attention to Yangzhou head and Suzhou feet. Since the third girl is from Suzhou, in order to seek truth, she not only stepped on stilts, but also used close-up shots to show the double hooks under her skirt.Even from the red-billed green parrot to the crested bow shoes, the coolness, humor, and delicacy are all Li Hanxiang's unique and attractive features, which are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary careless directors.

In the first half of Qianlong's incognito clothes leaving the palace, there is a distant view of the "corner building" of the Tongzi River of the Shenwumen, an upright official. Although it is a false scene, it seems irrelevant and a superfluous stroke. In fact, this is where Li Hanxiang excels.This scene shows that Qianlong came out of the yellow circle, otherwise it would be inexplicable to suddenly show up behind the third girl lying in bed. The scene of Chuanshan was Li Hanxiang's intentional show off, but unexpectedly, it was self-defeating and became the failure of the whole play.According to the meal passed down by the upright officials, the Imperial Dining Room had already prepared all the dishes. They were served in clay pots and copper pots that were not afraid of being burned, arranged on an extremely thick hot iron plate, and covered with a sheet of the same iron plate. The top and bottom are grilled with charcoal fire, carried by the servants of the imperial dining room to the doorway of Zunyi Gate, and then carried by the eunuch on duty into the inner office, the iron plate is removed, and the potted dishes are poured on the fine porcelain utensils and arranged in a row. on the table.The emperor's dining throne is set at one end of the long table, unlike the movie where the emperor sits in the middle.This scene of biography is dispensable. Director Li spared no expense in arranging this scene in order to express his boldness.Although there is no need to quote classics for movies, since ancient times are not far away, there are ancient books and pictures to check, so it can't be too far from the big picture.If the meal is passed on in the middle of winter, it is brought from the imperial dining room to the imperial table, and the food has been frozen, can it still be served?

Qianlong boasted in front of the three girls how huge the organization of the Imperial Dining Room was, and it was managed by several ministers. In fact, the Imperial Dining Room was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Supervising the chef, the precautions are very careful. In the play, Emperor Qianlong referred to "Sura" as a little eunuch, and "Sura" of upright officials were normal people who worked as odd jobs in the outer court of upright officials. It is not allowed to step into Zunyi Gate. Li Hanxiang's director of upright official dramas has always strived to be accurate and serious. Let's take hairstyles as an example. In the drama, the men all shaved their heads and put on hoods, leaving a blue moon gate on their foreheads. It is realistic and lifelike. feel.Hard matches like Li Kun, Jiang Nan, Jason, and Qin Huang are of course done in the same way, even the protagonist Liu Yong in the play is no exception.The directors in the Hong Kong film industry have strict requirements, and the actors are loyal to the artistic spirit, which cannot but be respected.

On the other hand, in TV series in Taiwan, all the men in Qing Dynasty costumes cover their foreheads with their heads, and some have a small tip of hair in the middle, and their sideburns can reach their cheeks, and their braids are braided from the top of their heads. Yes, the hair on the back of the head is too long to hide, and it hangs loosely around the neck, looking neither male nor female, but also male and female.From the perspective of their hair care spirit, it is certainly admirable, but as far as loyalty to art is concerned, it is too bad. Although the movie "Emperor Qianlong and the Three Girls" does not have any profound and profound artistic conception, it seems to be refreshing compared to the usual slapstick and crying movies. The movie directed by Li Hanxiang is still worth watching of.
