The actors, please be in place, who can get the S card?
With the popularity of a number of variety shows named after "actors", the word acting has attracted more and more attention.
In fact, there were some absolute "acting schools" in ancient times. Their acting skills can be summed up in the words "excellent" and "fake the real". How good are they?
You will definitely issue S-cards.
Tang Xuanzong
Thinking carefully, I was terrified, and became the emperor after being a "fool" for more than 20 years
Among the 21 emperors of the Tang Dynasty, one was called "Little Taizong" by later generations, and he was Tang Xuanzong Li Chen.
Although there is still controversy in the historians about whether Xuanzong's political achievements can take up this title, it is undeniable that this is indeed a "movie" emperor with a very legendary experience.
Regarding this laurel crown, Xuanzong felt bitter: This is all forced, it is improper to put a good prince and uncle, who wants to enter the film and television circle!
Yes, Xuanzong's character is called a fool.
All this must start from his life experience.
Before Xuanzong became the emperor, his name was Li Yi, and he was the thirteenth son of Tang Xianzong. His mother was born from a humble background and was a maid by Concubine Guo.
With such a basic configuration of the stall, it is said that Li Yi has not only missed the throne in this life, but also can't count on the next life.
But history is so interesting. After the death of his brother Mu Zong and his three nephews Jingzong, Wenzong, and Wuzong, Li Yi, who has been a "fool" for more than 20 years, has become an emperor and announced: I was always teasing you before. Too!
To say that he is stupid, in fact, is not deliberately wronged him, it is true that this person has been stunned since he was a child.
Due to his bad background, he was withdrawn and dull. Not only was he ridiculed and ridiculed by his elder brothers since he was a child, even his father often murmured in his heart: I am afraid he is not a fool!
The stupid Li Yiping had reached the age of ten in peace. This year Xianzong died and Mu Zong ascended the throne.
If in the first ten years, Xiao Liyi lived in a secret corner and circled alone, then in the next twenty years, he will see how sinister the outside world is.
During the reign of Tang Muzong, Li Yi entered the palace once, and by coincidence, it happened to be assassinated by someone.
The irritated Li Yi became more silent since then, and everyone thought he was frightened stupid.
Once again, Li Yi had a serious illness. I don't know if it was a bewilderment or a "drama" upper body. He suddenly felt that there was a radiance shining on his body, and immediately jumped up and straightened his body, as if he was a courtier.
The nurse thought he was mentally ill. Tang Muzong saw it and said, "This child is a wise man in my family, and it is definitely not a heart disease."
Mu Zong reigned only four years, and in the next two decades, his three nephews Jingzong, Wenzong, and Wuzong successively became emperors.
With her tail clipped, Li Yi wanted to play the role of a "fool". Jingzong and Wenzong were both easy to deal with, but Wuzong Li Yan was a scheming boy. The history books record that he was "not extravagant, scheming, good at planning, and eliminating aliens."
It was in the hands of Wu Zong that Li Yi's career as an actor almost ended.
One time the princes held a family banquet at the Sixteenth Prince's Residence (the residence of the princes of the Tang Dynasty). The singing and dancing performances were really boring. Suddenly Wen Zong saw Li Yi who was silent in a corner and started to make trouble. He announced loudly: Who can let Uncle Guang (Li Yi was Feng Guangwang) speak, I have many rewards.
All the prince brothers rushed forward and tried their best to tease Li Yi, but Li Yi remained unchanged.
No matter how people teased him, he remained indifferent, always showing a resigned expression.
Everyone was very proud, and Wen Zong was satisfied. Everyone continued to drink and have fun. No one noticed that Li Yi was acting stupid, except for the later Tang Wuzong Li Yan.
Li Yantian grew a pair of director's eyes, and he found that behind the foolish emperor, there seemed to be another thoughtful face.
Think carefully!
As the emperor, Li Yan was determined to expose the true face of this "actor". For this reason, he directed and acted in several accidents and almost killed Li Yi.
For example, in the winter of heavy snow, Li Yi went out with the emperor, and then fell from the horse unconsciously. At three or four in the middle of the night, he woke up by himself, cold and sleepy. Fortunately, the policeman gave him water. Take a life back.
There are even more creepy!
In a secret order by Li Yan, four of them served Li Yi to imprisonment, and a few days later threw him into the toilet.
Fortunately, an eunuch named Qiu Gongwu took pity on him, pretending to put Li Yi to death to avoid future troubles, but secretly transported the future Xuanzong out of the palace with a dirt truck.
In the six years of Huichang, Tang Wuzong Li Yan was critically ill. When the eunuchs Qiu Gongwu and Ma Yuanzhe tried to take charge of the government, they felt that a stupid person like Li Yi could be controlled, so they took Li Yi back to Chang'an and supported him as a puppet emperor.
The emperor was delivered to Li Yi.
What's surprising is that Li Yi, who was originally unknown or even dumb, changed after taking the throne, completely changed his appearance, became majestic and extraordinary, and handled government affairs in an orderly manner. How could there be a trace of stupidity?
At this point, the actor career of "actor" Li Yi came to an end, and the career of "emperor" officially began.
During the reign of Xuanzong, the Tang Dynasty experienced a brief period of stability and prosperity, and the afterglow of the setting sun appeared in the Tang Empire, although this was a glimmer of light.
Han Xizai
Han Xizai's night banquet is a good show of "the birth of an actor"
In terms of acting, there is another genius, he is Han Xizai, a famous minister of Southern Tang Dynasty.
You may be unfamiliar with the name Han Xizai, but you must know the name of his boss, that is, Li Yu, the queen of Southern Tang Dynasty.
Why is he said to be superb acting?
This is because his acting skills are hidden in a painting, there are pictures and the truth.
The ten famous ancient Chinese paintings "Han Xizai Night Banquet" are now in the Palace Museum. The author Gu Hongzhong depicts several scenes of Han Xizai hosting a banquet at home.
If "A River on Qingming Festival" is the earliest "historical documentary" in China, then "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" is the earliest "movie" in China. When several sub-shots come down, the luxurious pictures of the ancient upper class are shown.
However, when you understand the creative background of this painting and come to appreciate this masterpiece, you will find that all of this was designed by the "starring" and "director" Han Xizai.
Han Xizai was originally from Beihai (now Weifang, Shandong) in Weizhou, Central Plains.
When the Southern Tang Dynasty arrived in the post-lord era, "Although it did not die immediately, it became a death", not to mention Beiding Central Plains.
For Han Xizai, who has been traveling to the south for many years, although he has become a minister of officials, he knows that his political ambitions and ideals have been completely shattered, and the fate of the country’s demise is also imminent, so he can only indulge himself. Self-entertainment.
In order to play the role of "Langer" well, Han Xizai can be said to have laid his blood.
It is said that because of excessive expenses, Han Xizai’s family wealth is exhausted. Whenever he pays a monthly salary, he is "spattered in various tricks", so that he has nothing. He often changes into ragged clothes, pretends to be a blind man, and holds a piano in his hand. , Make the students hold the board, beat and beat, begging to the tricks one by one.
This is so unreliable, making the city full of storms.
Although Li Yu, the big boss of the Southern Tang Dynasty, said that he could chant poems and make fus, but he did not miss the emperor's usual suspicion and city mansion.
It is said that this day Li Yu heard the news of Han Xizai’s family banquet for the Nth time, and another thought flashed in his mind: What if Han Xizai discusses rebellion in the name of the party?
Li Yu, a "persecuted delusion", decided to send someone to find out.
Gu Hongzhong, a painter and "paparazzi", is responsible for this important task.
Gu Hongzhong used to serve in the Southern Tang Painting Academy. His eyes were extremely vicious. When he arrived at the Han Mansion, Gu Hongzhong "snooped, reads, reads, and paints."
He was full of cameras, eloquently painted into a masterpiece, recording all the expressions and movements of everyone present.
Let's see what kind of performance Han Xizai contributed.
This "movie" can be divided into five scenes in chronological order: listening to music, watching dancing, resting, blowing, and seeing off guests, all of which are divided by screens.
The first scene is "Listening to Music". The man with a long face and beautiful beard in the picture is the protagonist Han Xizai. At this time, the guests are still more restrained.
The second act is "Watching the Dance". The woman in the blue dress is Han Xizai's favorite play, Wangwushan, and she dances the most popular "Liuyao Dance".
Han Xizai personally beat the drums in the back.
There was also a monk who seemed to be out of place with all of this. He was Han Xizai's good friend Monk Deming. The monk also came to the party. This play was really in place.
The third act is "rest", which depicts Han Xizai, tired from beating the drum, sitting on the bed to rest, and talking with the maids while washing his hands.
The fourth act is "Clean Blowing", I saw Han Xizai sitting on a chair with his clothes half-open, completely letting himself go. In the center of the screen are five musicians playing.
The last part is "showing off the guests". In the painting, Han Xizai holds a drumstick in his hand and sends his friends away.
The whole painting progressed layer by layer, and the content of the performance became more and more open, making Li Yu's impression of Han Xizai's indulgence more and more profound.
However, if you look closely at Han Xizai in the last scene, you will find that when everyone is satiated and unscrupulous, only his eyes are clear and heavy, even with some sadness.
Although he is in the center of the fifth act, he seems to be separated from everything around him.
Gu Hongzhong who spied secretly, with the artist's keen intuition, realized that his debauchery was only superficial and could not be absorbed.
He drew what he saw and felt at the end of his pen. Unfortunately, Li Yu was only immersed in his own "a river of spring water" and did not discover Han Xizai's true face.
Perhaps Han Xizai can only remove his disguise in front of his close friends.
According to Mao Xianshu's "Supplements of the Southern Tang Dynasty": Han Xizai once opened up to Monk Deming and said that I did this to avoid becoming prime minister.
Deming puzzled, Han Xizai went on to say: Jiangnan is exhausted, and the Central Plains is eagerly watching. It is only the last blow. As long as there is a bright master in the North, this blow will come. I cannot be the laughing stock of the ages.
The Ming master he was talking about was later Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
Sure enough, six years after Han Xizai's death, the Southern Tang Dynasty fell.
At this time, Han Xizai's grave was covered with grass.
Tang Bohu
With bitterness, Tang Bohu contributed all his acting skills to save his life
Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy" has made Soviet dramatist Stanislavsky's theatrical work "The Self-cultivation of Actors" a household name. Among all the roles he played, Tang Bohu can be said to be the most sad and ridiculous acting school.
Many people remember the wonderful clip of Tang Bohu and Ning Wang's two subordinates fighting wits and courage in the movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".
It looks funny, right?
The real history is that Tang Bohu contributed all his acting skills in order to escape the control of King Ning, almost losing his life.
Thanks to various notebook novels and modern movies and TV series in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Tang Bohu was portrayed as a talented, beautiful woman around him. Every day he drinks and writes poems, or goes out with friends.
If you are longing for this, I'm sorry, the real Tang Bohu disappointed everyone. Not only was he not "high, rich and handsome," he was also impoverished, and he was a hundred times more miserable than "Xiao Qiang."
Tang Bohu's sad life began at the age of 24.
First, within two years, his parents, sister, wife and children five relatives passed away one after another, and then he was banned from examinations for life due to a fraud in the department, and then his second wife also left him.
Both career and love fail. For a young man with talent and ambition, is there anything worse than this?
When he was 35 years old, Tang Bohu's fate seemed to have changed.
He received a letter of appointment from Nanchang City: Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao hired him as a teacher.
King Ning was the uncle of Ming Wuzong, the supreme leader of the Ming Empire.
Tang Bohu thought that time had come, and he was overjoyed. Who knows, this is a bigger pit.
Also invited by King Ning was Wen Zhengming, Tang Bohu's friend.
However, Wen Zhengming rejected King Ning with one mouthful, because he thought King Ning was not easy, but Tang Bohu wanted to display his ambitions, so he didn't think so much.
While staying at Prince Ning’s Mansion, Tang Bohu was treated very well, and Wang Ning specially built a luxurious "attachment" for him.
However, not long afterward, he saw King Ning personally inspecting the five to six thousand guards, and recalling what Wen Zhengming said before, he realized that King Ning was not a simple figure.
King Ning invited him to come, not to tour the mountains or to appreciate his talents, but to drag him to rebel together.
This was a matter of losing his head, and Tang Bohu decided to get out as soon as possible.
However, he was about to leave as soon as he arrived. It was obvious that he was suspicious of King Ning. Maybe he was resolved before King Ning rebelled.
How to do it?
He was really not stupid, so he began to pretend to be crazy.
There are not many people who used this trick in history, such as Tang Xuanzong who has been a "fool" for more than 20 years, and the recent example of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, is there.
It is said that in order to eliminate Zhu Yunxue's wariness, Zhu Di used textbook acting skills, not only rushing around in the street, robbing other people's food and drink, but also stubbornly talking, and slept directly on the street at night.
Not only that, even the endocrine system is directly disordered, and wearing a leather jacket in the middle of the summer, sitting by the stove, crying cold.
Thinking that the emperor was so generous, Tang Bohu decided to play a big one.
The following content comes from "The Complete Works of Think Tanks" compiled by Tang Bohu's Suzhou fellow Feng Menglong. It is a little bit more flavorful, please don't imagine: first it is naked running, running to the most crowded place in the market on the street, deliberately running and shouting "I am King Ning Secondly, when King Ning sent someone to send a gift, he barely bent over and squatted, and sneered at the visitor.
A good talent, he became a lunatic overnight. King Ning was not without doubt at the beginning, but he couldn't hold Tang Bohu from being "crazy" day and night. In the end, King Ning ordered him to roll back to his hometown in Suzhou.
Five years later, King Ning was killed in rebellion, and Tang Bohu fortunately avoided the disaster.
Tang Bohu was completely discouraged after retrieving a life with his desperate acting skills.
Tang Bohu, who returned to Suzhou, bought a dilapidated house under the crowdfunding of his friends and named it "Peach Blossom Temple", “Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Taohua Temple under Peach Blossom Fairy; Peach Blossom Fairy Planted Peach Trees and Picked Peach Blossoms Selling wine for money." The rural scenery sounds beautiful, but there are so many years of bitterness hidden.
