Chapter 366 Third Uncle, I heard that you almost let foreigners give it to you
The first two episodes of "The Mansion Gate" roughly have this plot, with some incidents involving Da Gege and her lover Gui Wu mixed in, as well as the entanglements between the three brothers of the Bai family.
Mr. Bai's name is Bai Mengtang. He has a cute name, but his personality is relatively bookish and he pays attention to rules.
He and the old lady have three sons and one daughter. The daughter married the young master of the Guan family and gave birth to a pair of children. They lived a good life.
The uncle is the most promising and is the imperial physician in the palace. He is responsible for most of the Bai family brands. He is also the most kind-hearted among the three brothers and takes great care of his younger brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, he is not liked by the old lady.
The second master is an honest and cowardly man who doesn't take care of things very much. With his father and brother protecting his head and a capable daughter-in-law beside him, he lives a happy life.
Only the youngest, the third child, is the most useless. He has been spoiled by the old lady who dotes on her young son since he was a child. He is selfish and does not do anything serious all day long. He just thinks about harming the public and enriching himself and siphoning money into his own pocket.
At the same time, Bai Laosan was a bit too ambitious and incompetent. The business he was in charge of lost a lot of money, and he was reluctant to add money to make up for it, which led to the inability to reconcile the accounts.
The old man loved his younger brother, and he was afraid that he would be angry if he found out, so he spent his own money to fill the hole. After many times, his wife, the eldest grandma, quit the job.
The second grandma and the eldest grandma's sister-in-law got along well. She couldn't stand the old man's doting on the third child, so she spoke up for the sister-in-law and almost brought the matter to the old man's face.
Bai Laosan had a bastard temperament, so he hated his second grandma because of this incident. When the two had a dispute, his sister accidentally threw her son to death, and was abandoned by her husband.
The two in-laws, Bai Guan and Bai Guan, in the blink of an eye, became estranged enemies...
………
One thing to say is that in the drama "The Mansion", there are countless troublemakers, and more than 90% of the characters have done some unpleasant things.
Among them, Bai Laosan is one of the least important characters.
Especially in the early stages of the plot, all bad things are done.
He misappropriated public funds, indirectly killed his nephew, broke up the family, made trouble for the second mistress who was in charge, and cheated on him in all kinds of ways, which made people want to beat him to death.
So much so that even his own son couldn't stand it. When Bai Jingqi started beating Bai Laosan violently, several of his sons looked on and didn't even try to stop him.
Mistress Bai commented that of the three Bai brothers, the eldest was "stupid" and the second was "dumb", but the third was the worst. The first two were derogatory but implicitly complimentary, while the third was completely literal.
Even Mr. Bai himself admitted that he had never done anything serious in his life, and he was even more ridiculous when he was young. But in the end, he kept the bottom line and did not become a traitor, so he died to prove his ambition.
This troublemaker who had been scolded by the audience for dozens of episodes suddenly did something serious and was praised by the audience.
To be honest, it feels a bit ironic that "a real girl who loses her integrity is not as good as an old chicken who behaves well".
A bad person does bad things all his life and does one good deed, and then the prodigal turns back. A good person does good deeds all his life and does one bad thing, and then his true colors are revealed.
Personally speaking, Zuo Le doesn't like this character, and even hates it a bit, especially since he cheated his own sister and led a miserable life.
But at the same time, Zuo Le also admitted that the existence of Mr. Bai promoted a lot of plot development, and he himself was responsible for half of the laughs in "The Mansion Gate".
Every time Bai Laosan is unlucky and has to be punished, it is a plot that the audience loves to see.
Especially Bai Jingqi's two lines "Uncle, I heard that you almost got raped by foreigners" and "Uncle, you should be raped" are the famous scenes in the play. Zuo Le still wants to laugh when he thinks about it.
Fan Min is considered to be a semi-comedian. His ability to make people laugh is not a big deal, and he has strong acting skills. He has mastered the characteristics of Mr. Bai perfectly, which makes people hate him at the root of his teeth, but can also make people laugh at times.
.
However, this aspect has not been reflected in the first two episodes yet. Bai Laosan is purely annoying in the first two episodes.
After the premiere of "Mansion Gate", one-third of the related discussions were about criticizing him.
The other two-thirds are rainbow farts about "The Mansion Gate".
From the project establishment to the broadcast, "Mansion Gate" has been directly promoted as a serious drama. Except for a small number of viewers who come to follow the drama, most of the viewers come to see the quality of the drama.
In recent years, with the popularity of phenomenon dramas such as "Crossing Guandong" and "The Great Dyestuff", the market has been heated up, and many viewers have begun to look forward to serious dramas.
"The Mansion Gate" has an amazing cast, and it is produced by the well-known Shanhe. Combined with each other, the premiere attracted considerable attention.
According to the next day's ratings statistics, "The Mansion Gate" opened with a ratings of 1.81, and its premiere performance has been ranked high in recent years.
The Douhua score is also pretty good, with an initial score of 8.8, which shows that the audience has a pretty good impression of this drama.
In the first two episodes of "Although", the male protagonist is just a doll, and the female protagonist, Mistress Bai, doesn't appear much, but Mr. Bai and several supporting characters also support the scene.
Many viewers commented that the filming was delicious.
This evaluation is not low. As for the subject matter of the drama, let’s not talk about the modern aspects. The biggest key to historical and period dramas, especially the latter, is to draw the audience into the plot scenes.
Only when you pull them in will the audience take the story seriously, and the more you watch it, the more interesting it becomes. If you don't pull them in, everything is in vain.
And how to make the drama interesting, not only must we put great thought into the service, but also the characters, lines, and plots must be designed ingeniously, so that we can retain the audience.
Many crew members have misunderstood this aspect and worked hard on the way of persuasion, but ignored the importance of plot lines.
The characters are seriously "distorted" and have no antique flavor. Even if you are filming in the Forbidden City, the props are all genuine antiques, and the audience should still be entertained.
"Mansion Gate" did quite well in this regard. Although the main plot has not been developed, everyone watched it with enjoyment and praised it generously.
………
"Mansion Gate" started with good reviews, and Kong Sheng was relieved and felt much more at ease. The next day, he greeted Duan Long and Zuo Le and went back to lead the crew for promotions.
After Kong Sheng left, the crew of "Latent" continued filming, but with the popularity of "Mansion Gate", the cast and crew also began to follow the show.
After all, many of them have starred in it, and there are even a few leading actors. In addition, it is a drama produced by their own company, so everyone instinctively pays attention to it.
On June 2nd, after Zhang Ze finished filming, he bought some deli beer, dragged Duan Long to Zhang Shui's room, and the three of them got together to watch the show, and at the same time, they did not forget to share the gossip in the group today.
"Brother Shui, it's a pity that you didn't go to the group today."
"What's wrong? Those guys are tearing it up again." Zhang Shui took a sip of beer and became more interested.
"It's not really a fight. Isn't it the first day that Song Jia joins the group? She mainly plays opposite Brother Sun Lei.
Brother Sun Lei didn't know what was going on here. Seeing that she had just arrived, he took great care of Song Jia. He even ordered some dishes from the restaurant at noon to feed Song Jia.
Then, desperately, he arranged for Song Jia, Wan Qian and Yin Li to sit together, and he took Teacher Zhang Bei and Teacher Wu Dakang to accompany him.
God, the atmosphere at that time was so weird.
Halfway through the meal, two teachers, Zhang and Wu, ran away. Poor Brother Sun Lei had to accompany those aunts. In the end, he was eating so hard that he was sweating. We couldn't bear to watch it."
Zhang Ze was still a little scared when he said this. If he hadn't seen the opportunity and pulled Duan Long to run fast, I'm afraid they would have been pulled over by Sun Lei to stand up to him.
"Good guy."
Zhang Shui personally experienced the confrontation between two people yesterday, and his legs were almost weak from fear within five minutes. This time he heard that Sun Lei persisted in having a meal among three women and called him a good guy.
"As for Director Zuo, it stands to reason that since Brother Sun Lei is having a treat, he, the director, must be here too."
After admiring Sun Lei for a while, Zhang Shui suddenly developed a blind spot. When Zhang Shui mentioned Zuo Le, Zhang Ze said with admiration on his face,
"Director Zuo is such a thief. He knew something was going to happen as soon as Brother Sun Lei said we were treating him. He said it was a call from home and the child had diarrhea. After the show in the morning, he drove away.
After Brother Sun Lei and others finished their meal, it was time for the crew to start filming, and Director Zuo came back "on time" without wasting any time."
Duan Long was also very emotional. He took a look at the duck neck in his hand and then added.
"The first scene in the afternoon was my scene. Director Zuo was talking to me about the scene. I could clearly smell the mutton soup on his body. If I remember correctly, it should be from the Wanger Whole Sheep Restaurant at the north gate of the base. Their mutton soup
It has a strong smell and is easy to identify.”
"Tsk tsk, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, gathering together to play chat."
After Zhang Shui listened to Zuo Le's sexy moves, he couldn't help but make a comment, which was so sharp that Zhang Ze and Duan Long nodded repeatedly.
"Ze'er, do you think if they continue like this, will it delay the crew's filming?"
Duan Long is a little worried. Even though he is very popular now, most of the popularity comes from variety shows. He doesn't have many real masterpieces, so he can't wait to rely on "Latent" to confirm his status and wait for the opportunity to hit the front line.
.
He didn't want a few actresses to compete for a moment and delay the filming of the crew. Then he would suffer a big loss.
"Don't worry, Song Jia and the others know what they are doing. Didn't you see that apart from the "commotion" between the three of them during the meal, they were very quiet during filming in the morning and afternoon, and even took the initiative to exchange lines in private.
Director Zuo is not a decoration. They usually fight in a small way and turn a blind eye and pass by. If they really dare to delay the filming, believe it or not, Director Zuo will directly chase them away.
They all joke that Director Zuo is a tool and the boss lady is really in charge of Shanhe. But Director Zuo is really angry. Do you think the boss lady is looking towards her best friend or her own child’s father?
Public is public, private is private, if Song Jia and the others didn't understand this clearly, they wouldn't be able to get along now."
Zhang Ze understands very clearly that the entertainment industry is a vanity fair. It is difficult for artists from the same company to stay united for endorsements, roles and other resources.
This is normal. Not everyone in a dormitory is like a family, let alone an entertainment company.
As long as the fuss is not excessive, it is normal competition, and it does not harm the company's interests, Zuo Le has no control over what the artist does privately. The two of them dislike each other, so he can't force them to make an alliance based on blood.
Therefore, although there is a lot of tension between Shanhe artists, especially female artists, the most they can do is exchange a few words or have a cold war, and the size has always been controlled within Zuo Le's tolerance.
As the saying goes, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they are very good...
Duan Long also cared too much about "Latent" and was obsessed with the authorities. When Zhang Ze pointed it out, he immediately realized that his worries were unfounded.
With the current momentum of Shanhe and Zuo Le, any Shanhe artist would make Zuo Le feel uncomfortable unless he is tired of playing in the entertainment industry and plans to change his career.
Therefore, these are just small troubles now and cannot make big waves.
………
Relieved, Duan Long focused on watching TV with Zhang Ze. Yesterday, he was too distracted to comfort Kong Sheng, and only watched bits and pieces, which was really uncomfortable. Today, he had nothing to do, so he was able to watch the drama well.
The third and fourth episodes of "The Mansion Gate" follow the plot of the first two episodes. The Bai family became enemies with the Zhan family and the Guan family. Five years later, they finally tasted the consequences.
The story starts with the Empress Dowager Cixi. The second princess in Prince Zhan's palace was Tongzhi's concubine. Cixi had always disliked this daughter-in-law.
In the past, she had her son protecting her, so she couldn't do anything. Now that her son is dead, she plans to let Er Gege go down to accompany him.
Cixi, an old lady, had such poisonous hands. She would just kill someone if she said she wanted to.
However, Er Gege was the late emperor's concubine after all, and she had to die without explanation. It happened that the uncle of the Bai family had seen Er Gege the night before Er Gege died.
When Cixi saw this, she casually threw the blame on Uncle Bai's head, saying that he had executed Er Gege.
The uncle of the Bai family was wronged, but there was nothing he could do about it. Lafayette was the greatest in the world, and Cixi framed it himself. Even if he wanted to reverse the case, he would not even try to reason with it.
Naturally, the Bai family couldn't watch their uncle being wronged innocently, so they looked for ways to find ways out. In the end, Cixi herself was probably embarrassed, so she relaxed.
The general meaning is that the person who died was the second princess of Prince Zhan's house. As long as the Bai family can deal with Prince Zhan's house, the big trouble in the palace can be reduced.
Isn't this a case of conflict? The Bai family almost made Prince Zhan angry to death last time. Will they be willing to show their favor?
But that being said, the old man had no choice but to help. The old man thought about coming to apologize in person, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so the second mistress volunteered and planned to follow the old Fujin's path.
At this time, Prince Zhan also found out about Er Gege's death, but he did not dare to take revenge on Cixi. When he heard that there was something about his old enemy Bai family, he immediately turned his anger on the uncle.
I dare not ask about Lafayette's crime. Isn't it possible to deal with your Bai family...
Prince Zhan Erdezi is trying hard to kill his uncle, and the Guan family is also adding insult to injury. They mobilize their connections to stir up trouble and prepare to avenge their grandson who was thrown to death.
The two parties worked together and the Bai family uncle was taken into custody.
Now Mr. Bai was completely anxious, thinking that it was the Zhan and Guan families who were fighting against each other. Regardless of the objections of the second mistress, he found someone to join both families and went to court to express his innocence.
Things are really bad now.
Originally, Cixi, an old lady, had a clear conscience and did not want to directly torture the Bai family uncle to death, so she wanted to drag him away and then find an opportunity to let him go. However, when the old man Bai changed his mind and said that the Bai family uncle was unjust, Cixi could not sit still.
.
The Bai family uncle was wronged, so the murderer must be someone else. Who is that person?
It's not a good reputation for an old woman to kill a widow and her daughter-in-law. The case that was still unresolved immediately made new progress.
The uncle of the Bai family has been convicted and sentenced to prison.
Mr. Bai, the "pig teammate", immediately fell ill. At the same time, he realized that the second mistress, this sensible daughter-in-law, was a rare female talent who could support the family.
Now I am seriously ill, old and unable to take care of things. The eldest son is in prison and his life or death is uncertain. The second son is cowardly and incompetent, and the third son is frivolous and dissolute. They are not people who can handle things.
Mr. Bai thought over and over again and decided to hand over the keys to the business to his second wife.
At this point, Mistress Bai went from being a boudoir woman to the head of the Bai family and Baicao Hall, and began her legendary life...
