In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", there is a scene that I believe everyone is very impressed, that is, Concubine Hua ate a sour cucumber and vomited this paragraph, but at the beginning of filming, the director disagreed, what is going on?
Concubine Hua is a very controversial figure, she is ruthless, and she can downplay the concubine she has just met, and she can be rewarded with an understatement, and Xia Dongchun ruined her life because of a few words.
Her fight with Zhen Huan and the queen is also addictive.
But on the other hand, she is a poor person.
It is undeniable that the emperor loves Concubine Hua, even more than Zhen Huan, so he will connive at her to do whatever she wants in the palace, even if she doesn't give the queen face, the emperor will turn a blind eye.
But in order to balance the power of the Nian family, the four masters also did the most cruel thing to Concubine Hua, that is, not to let her get pregnant.
Concubine Hua really loves the emperor, and her biggest obsession in life is to have a child, so she has invited famous doctors all over the place, and she must have used a lot of home remedies in private, which can be said to have suffered a lot.
Therefore, when Zhen Huan finally told Concubine Hua the truth about Huan Yixiang, Concubine Hua only felt desperate, she collapsed and shouted: "Your Majesty, you have hurt Shilan so hard", and then hit the wall and died, which is a particularly tragic death.
Concubine Hua is such a proud person, and when she occasionally reveals her vulnerability, she is particularly pitiful.
The most distressing thing is the scene of Concubine Hua eating sour cucumbers.
Concubine Hua hated her stomach for not being angry, and she couldn't conceive the dragon seed all the time, so she had to eat sour cucumbers in retaliation.
I saw Concubine Hua keep stuffing the pickled cucumber into her mouth until she couldn't stop it and started vomiting.
She began to deceive herself, "Am I throwing up? There must be joy", and then urged his subordinates to find the imperial doctor.
At this moment, Concubine Hua took off the disguise of her former dominance, just a mother who couldn't ask for a child, and because of the discomfort of eating sour cucumbers, it looked very distressing.
It is said that when adapting the script, screenwriter Wang Xiaoping, that is, the wife of director Zheng Xiaolong, and the original Liuyu Zi adapted the script and finally determined such a plot.
But when the actors are performing, sometimes they may not necessarily act exactly according to the script, and sometimes there will be some good ideas that collide temporarily, which are added to the play to play the role of the finishing touch.
Jiang Xin, who played Concubine Hua, fully figured out this role, and finally firmly believed that Concubine Hua's obsession was to give birth to a child for the emperor.
Therefore, she designed a plot for herself to eat sour cucumbers to induce vomiting, she thinks that this is the ancient Chinese saying "sour and spicy girl", and Concubine Hua must be very superstitious about this.
After that, she told the director about her little design.
Who knows, Zheng Xiaolong thinks that it will be very strange to eat sour cucumbers there suddenly, and the audience will not buy it. And what a noble woman Concubine Hua is, she won't eat "pickled cucumber", a market food.
But Wang Xiaoping, who is also a woman, feels that this setting is very reasonable, because no matter how noble Concubine Hua is, she is a woman who is bent on seeking children after all.
In the end, Jiang Xin presented a wonderful performance on TV, and everyone was moved by Concubine Hua when they watched this paragraph, and they couldn't remember her usual appearance of dancing with teeth and claws.
At this moment, she is just a poor woman who is mixed with power, coerced by the family mission, and has no choice but to stay in this deep palace, on the surface her husband seems to love her, but he personally stifles her right to be a mother.
This is an actor's ability to interpret and empathize with the character, and sometimes it is indeed such a casual setting that makes a classic scene.
