Chen Chong's version, whether as a director or an actor, is much better than many later versions, so it must be a classic.
The last emperor was a very classic drama with the theme of Qing Dynasty. The film tells the story of China's last emperor Aisin Giorro Puyi's 60 years of ups and downs from becoming an emperor to becoming an ordinary citizen.
I saw it a little on TV when I was a child. Only know Chen Chong (Wanrong); While watching dvdr, I saw John Lone (Puyi), Ying Ruocheng (Director of War Criminals Administration) and Peter Rotoller (Johnston). This time, I also met Vivian Wu (Wen Xiu), Ryuichi Sakamoto (a Japanese official who came from Tientsin to Manchukuo to monitor Puyi, but forgot his name) and Chen Kaige (the captain who made a guest appearance at the Wumen Gate).
The Last Emperor, co-produced by Chen Chong and Vivian Wu, may be rare. In terms of acting skills, Chen Chong and Vivian Wu must be the same as the newcomers at that time, but under the guidance of directors, their acting skills are much better than later versions.
Take the graceful scene of eating flowers as an example. Someone said of Chen Chong: "Remember to take a picture of eating flowers. Chewing a slight wry smile, filling more petals, the pain that was originally suppressed under numbness suddenly expanded. Wanrong's inner despair and madness were completely externalized at this time, which became a warning signal and left an important button for her final madness. "
Why did Puyi in her later years reject the pursuit of the most beautiful princess in the late Qing Dynasty and choose a plain-looking wet nurse? Puyi rejected the pursuit of the most beautiful princess in the late Qing Dynasty, and chose an indifferent reason, because Wang Mintong, the most beautiful princess at that time, was crazy about Puyi, because he was actually born after overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, so he envied the luxurious life of the royal family very much, so the pursuit of Puyi actually had a certain purpose.
When he was in the fishing reform, his outlook on life actually changed a lot, especially in the choice of the other half, because he told others at that time that if he was a Manchu, a royal aristocrat or someone who could not work, he would not introduce him, so he denied that the most beautiful girl in the late Qing Dynasty was Manchu.
At that time, Puyi especially liked medicine, so she especially wanted to find a woman who was engaged in medical work. Later, the editor of People's Publishing House introduced Li to Puyi and accompanied him to fall in love with this woman at once.
Puyi refused this princess in the late Qing Dynasty because after studying and reforming, he would take a negative attitude towards those unrealistic ideas, so he wanted to be out of the past life, so he wanted to bid farewell to all kinds of situations at that time, so he would choose a new ideological society and independent women, which is also the reason why he chose a plain-looking nurse.
The last emperor Puyi also chose the imperial tomb for himself. Why didn't he start work at last? This is actually because the conditions at that time no longer allowed him to build a tomb for himself. In fact, before the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, Fu Yi personally chose the emperor. Then he hurried to the position after that. At this time, the Qing Dynasty was actually in a shaky state.
Because during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan claimed 200 million taels of silver, so after many wars, it has exhausted a lot of finance, so it is said that it is in a state of financial deficit at this time, and Cixi did not actually save money when she was buried. He maintained his usual luxurious style. So he spent a lot of money when he was buried.
According to statistics, Empress Dowager Cixi spent1.200 million silver when she was buried. Such a figure made the treasury of the Qing dynasty more empty, so he chose Huangling for himself at that time. However, because economic conditions did not allow it, he resolutely gave up such preparations.
In fact, every emperor, after he ascended the throne, will choose the imperial tomb as the last emperor for himself at the first time. So when he first ascended the throne, he didn't go like other emperors. The main reason why people look for the tomb is that he was actually only three years old when he first ascended the throne. But at that time, the Qing dynasty was already in a state of turmoil, so in the end he experienced a lot of things. In fact, he was still in a relatively young state. Then when he was ten years old, the court actually helped him find this treasure trove of geomantic omen, but in the end, he gave it up because of the misfortune.
Why didn't the last emperor Puyi marry Wanrong and enter the palace? Pu Yi's tenure was 1922 1 February1day, and he and Wan Rong were both 17 years old. The marriage of the Qing emperor was called the grand wedding. At this time, the Qing Dynasty was overthrown 1 1 year, but according to the favorable conditions of the royal family, Puyi was still the respectful name of the emperor and continued to live in the Forbidden City, so it was still called the wedding at home and abroad. This time, in addition to graceful, there are Shu Fei's wenxiu.
Wanrong was chosen as the queen, which really took a lot of trouble. At first, after the book about choosing a queen for Puyi spread, there was an endless stream of suitors. However, according to the custom of the Qing Dynasty, queens were all selected from the daughters of Manchu and Mongolian princes and ministers. So, recommended by Xu Shichang and Zhang, they were all at the mercy of others. Legend has it that Pu Yi, Guan Zhong and Zai Tao, who were in charge of summarizing the marriage proposal at that time, may have bound the photos of the girls into a book on their desks. In this dazzling female crowd, after several selections, four people were shortlisted. After careful selection, the last one is elegant and beautifully embroidered. As long as there is only one queen, whether it is Wanrong or Wen Xiu, there are intrigues among the royal family, especially the toffee ladies, who want the little emperor to choose the girl he likes, thus doubling his power in the Freedom Palace. This will not give way to each other. In the end, Puyi will have to "imperial decree". After seeing the photos of Wanrong and Wenxiu, he finally chose Wanrong as the queen, and Wenxiu was named Shu Fei. According to folklore, Wanrong's father, Rong Yuan, spent 202,000 gold to buy the queen's rockhopper for his daughter. It's just propaganda. It's hard to show it. The ritual ceremony of marrying Wanrong as the queen is done according to the old practice of Qing Dynasty, which is divided into four ways: receiving bride price, big levy, writing ceremony and big wedding. 1922 10/2 1 day, the deputy envoy of Puyi sent nearly 1,000 ceremonial troops and 100 gifts from the sedan chair to the graceful home of Maoer Hutong outside Di 'anmen, Beijing, to give his father Rong Yuan a bride price. In the next two months, a grand ceremony of soliciting books and conferring titles was held one after another. The grand ceremony is to inform the real wedding date in the woman's family, and the title ceremony is to formally grant her the title of queen. Speaking of it, a graceful wedding is still a pity. According to the practice of the Qing dynasty, it is recognized that the queen entered the palace. No matter where the Queen's family lives in Beijing, the wedding procession must pass through the Qing Gate and then enter the Palace from the main entrance of the Forbidden City at noon. Generally speaking, except the empress dowager and the emperor, no courtier can walk around without authorization, and the queen can only enjoy it once on the wedding day. However, Wanrong did not enjoy this honor. When she entered the palace, she not only didn't clear the door, but also didn't have the noon door. Wanrong takes Donghuamen Street and enters the palace from Donghuamen. From this point of view, she, the queen of the small court period, is still different from the real queen of the Qing Empire. At this time, Puyi was the abdicated emperor. Although he is allowed to live in the harem, the site south of Ganqingmen in the Forbidden City belongs to Beiyang authorities, so he can no longer be so particular about it. According to the index, the 10 emperors who entered the Qing Dynasty successively established 24 empresses. If Wanrong can be called the queen, then she is the 25th and the out-of-print queen of traditional China. Last generation (255) candidates (1)
