Chapter 357: Biography: The Girl Who Seized the Father's Power
Such details are handled in almost every key turning point in Xue Qinghui's biography.
In addition to the psychological changes of the heroine in the first part, Xue Qinghui also analyzed the core of the whole story: She believes that this drama is a bold story of a girl seizing paternal power.
Because in ancient Greek drama, stories like Oedipus, in which a son kills his father and possesses his mother to achieve the change of patriarchy, are more familiar to everyone.
In Jiang Baige's writing, when the person who seizes the patriarchal authority - or "power" - becomes the daughter, the mother is no longer possessed as property.
A daughter does not possess her mother, she rescues her.
But if it is simply about salvation, it still falls into the cliché of patriarchy - because salvation is nothing more than changing the "owner".
Just like in a modern wedding ceremony, a daughter is handed from her father to her husband, which is just a change of power.
Therefore, in Jiang Baige's novel, the heroine does not unilaterally and arrogantly kill her father to save her mother.
Instead, when the daughter helped her mother, the mother also plucked up the courage to break free from her husband's invisible oppression and protect her daughter, thus achieving a two-way redemption for the heroine and the mother.
Xue Qinghui wrote in the character's biography: This is not a story about seizing patriarchy, but a story about completely subverting patriarchy and re-establishing the relationship between daughter and mother that was divided by men.
In the last part of the character biography, Xue Qinghui also wrote about some of her small designs for the heroine's external features and actions, making the heroine distinctive and easy for the audience to remember.
After reading this biography, Jiang Baige keenly discovered that Xue Qinghui hardly mentioned the male protagonist in it.
This may be because she knew that Jiang Baige hated this unexpected male protagonist.
It may also be because she has realized that many of the shining points in her own character have been taken away by the male protagonist, so there is no need to "elaborate".
But no matter what, at least one thing is certain, Xue Qinghui has thoroughly understood the script and characters, and may have even read the novel.
How could Jiang Baige not want to meet such an actor?
After all, just by reading this biography and considering the plays she had watched before in which Xue Qinghui acted, she already felt that Xue Qinghui was the heroine she wanted.
If Xue Qinghui could come to such a conclusion without having read the novel, it would mean that the final version of the script was very different from the one Jiang Baige had seen before, and the changes must have been major.
How could she not be curious about this new script?
Jiang Baige replied to Xiao Dong that evening, saying that she was willing to join the crew.
However, before signing the contract, she had to explain that she only had time to go because there was a close contact of a confirmed case of the disease in the company.
She hoped that Xiao Dong would give her a reply after giving feedback to Ge Hongjian.
As Jiang Baige expected, Lao Ge called her the next day and said that as long as she completed the test and confirmed that she was not infected, she could come to the crew and they would reimburse the testing fees.
Jiang Baige recorded the phone call just in case.
After completing the test, she sent a screenshot of the negative result to Lao Ge. After receiving a confirmation reply from the other party, she waited for another three days before buying a plane ticket to the film and television city.
At this time, the drama had already started filming for a few days.
***
After the plane landed, Jiang Baige turned on her mobile phone and received a message from Lao Ge.
He was supposed to pick Jiang Baige up, but because the crew suddenly had something to coordinate, he couldn't leave, so he couldn't come. But he told her not to worry, and that someone else would pick her up.
But Lao Ge didn't say who would come.
Jiang Baige was frightened by this message, and she unconsciously worried that the person who would come to pick her up would be Lu Tian.
She didn't want to think that way either.
But since Lu Tian heard that she would join the crew, he immediately sent her a message, saying that he was very much looking forward to it.
Later, I often sent him some photos of the crew, as well as his own... selfies.
At first Jiang Baige would click in to take a look, but later she simply stopped opening it.
Afraid of dirtying my eyes.
Although Lu Tian is not ugly and is good at taking selfies from great angles, to be honest, when a photo suddenly popped up, it still caused considerable harm to Jiang Baige's heart.
She once suspected that she had "prosopahobia", and every time she was frightened, she had to watch some panda videos to calm down.
So, she would not be surprised at all if Lu Tian would volunteer to pick her up.
However, when she came out after picking up her luggage and saw Xiao Dong smiling and waving at her not far away, her heart, which had been fluttering for a long time, finally calmed down.
That's right, Lu Tian is a public figure after all, how could he appear in public, and come to pick up an ordinary person like her? That's simply giving KPI to the paparazzi.
Even if Lu Tian thought that this was a special period when he should keep a low profile, I'm afraid his agent would not agree.
Judging from the fact that his agent attended the last script discussion, it seems that he is not particularly confident in Lu Tian.
Jiang Baige felt more at ease when she thought that there were other people watching Lu Tian.
You know, if Lu Tian’s agent was afraid that Lu Tian would be involved in scandals and it would have a bad influence on him, then Jiang Baige must be a thousand times more afraid than the agent.
At least Lu Tian has a team to guide him and fans who are willing to whitewash him. What does it matter to her, an amateur?
Judging from the results of Lu Tian’s love scandals (confirmed version) that have occurred almost once or twice a year since his debut, it was always the woman who was unlucky.
——Amateur people were hung up and people in the circle were out of work for a long time, but Lu Tian himself always managed to get away with it safely.
If he didn't have such a "glorious record", how could he dare to be so unscrupulous and even offend the eldest lady of capital?
Jiang Baige prayed silently in her heart: It's only seven or eight days, please God, because she is a good person and has never done anything evil, bless her this time.
Thinking of this, Xiao Dong stopped and said, "Teacher Jiang, we're here."
In front of me was a black business car with black anti-peep film on the windows. When I got closer, I could see that the curtains inside were drawn.
Xiao Dong walked towards the co-pilot seat.
As Jiang Baige walked to the car, the back door slowly opened. Looking inside, there was no one except the driver.
She thought there were only three of them.
But as soon as I got into the car, I saw there was someone sitting in the back seat.
The man was dressed in black and almost blended into the car. When he saw Jiang Baige coming up, he took off his black baseball cap and black mask, revealing a plain white face.
"You are Teacher Bai, right? Hello, I'm Xue Qinghui."
She had stood up from her seat, bent over, introduced herself, and extended her hand to Jiang Baige.
Jiang Baige was still in a daze, and hadn't even realized that "Mr. Bai" was a respectful name for her pen name "Bai Xiaoniao". But she had already subconsciously reached out and held Xue Qinghui's cold right hand.
