It is said that when TVB was preparing to shoot "The Desire of the Golden Branch", it regarded Anxi, played by Zhang Keyi, as the female number one, Yuying played by Li Zi, and Er Chun, played by She Shiman, and ranked as the female number two.
And the concubine played by Deng Cuiwen can only be regarded as the third female, and a series of publicity activities in the early stage are completely devoid of Deng Cuiwen's share.
Surprisingly, after the TV series was broadcast, the villain was like a concubine, and TVB quickly called Deng Cuiwen out to stand around.
Later, TVB seized the opportunity to let Deng Cuiwen be the heroine and filmed the second part of "Golden Branch Desire", but the response was not good.
It can be seen that Deng Cuiwen can turn over with Rufei, which shows the value of the role of Rufei itself.
Ru Concubine, real name Niu Hulu Ru Yue.
Niu Hulu is a Manchurian surname, although the plot does not make more preparations for Rufei's life, it is not difficult to see that rufei must have a family to rely on behind her.
In the first episode, Concubine Chen kneels on the ground and begs Rufei, every word is in regret, saying that she should not take advantage of Rufei's pregnancy and compete with Rufei for favors.
The same is the concubine position, such as the concubine is imposing, casually forcing Concubine Chen into a desperate situation.
Later, Rufei herself said that as long as she was in the harem for one day, she would never let the people of the empress's faction get close to the emperor.
I remember that when the empress summoned everyone to watch the play, the concubine went directly in red clothes and sat side by side with the queen.
All this can show that the grace and power of the concubine in the harem have reached the point where no one dares to compete with her, and even the queen can only avoid her sharp edge.
At a cursory glance, such as the concubine's family is prominent, the crown harem is favored, and the arrogance is the same as the concubine in "The Biography of Zhen Huan".
After tasting it carefully, it was found that Rufei and Huafei were completely two kinds of people.
Concubine Hua fought in the harem, relying only on a fierce force, relying on the family's confidence to her.
Rufei is different, she has a plan, understands people's hearts, and relies on the survival experience she learned after the harem crawls and fights.
In fact, Rufei is more like Zhen Huan after blackening, but she is more transparent than Zhen Huan.
After Concubine Ru forced Concubine Chen to death, she banned Concubine Chen's house and did not allow anyone to enter. Later, Yuying accidentally slipped in, and in order to save Yuying, Anxi touched Rufei's mind and made things bigger.
After making trouble in front of Rufei, Baochan immediately took the lead and reprimanded Yuying and Anxi, saying that they had alarmed Rufei's tires.
Anyone can see that Baochan is building a step for Rufei, and Rufei can directly punish Anxi and Yuying through Baochan's words.
Instead of that, Rufei gave Bao Chan a warning look and let go of Anxi and Yuying.
Afterwards, Bao Chan asked again, "Is that all there is to it?" "There is a great intention to encourage Rufei to continue to deal with this matter."
If the concubine is not, the reason given is also very clever: although she does not like others to speculate on her own thoughts, she prefers others to fear her own power.
The same thing, if it was changed to Hua Fei, stimulated by the people around her, it was likely that Yuying and An qian would be dragged out immediately and ordered to be beaten to death.
Although she was vicious and forced to die Concubine Chen, who competed with her for favor, she had her own judgment and would not be easily manipulated.
At this point, Rufei is very similar to the blackened Zhen Huan, fierce and shrewd, but Rufei understands people's hearts more than Zhen Huan and lives more transparently.
I remember that Yuying failed to bribe the painter, and when Concubine Ru saw Yuying's portrait, she sighed and said: "If the sharp edge is too strong, it will lose the hearts of the people." ”
Since Rufei understood this truth, she didn't know that she might lose her power one day.
It's just that she didn't expect that she guarded against the queen and fought with the queen for a lifetime, but finally planted in the hands of Bao Chan.
When Zhen Huan entered the palace, she deliberately drank medicine to avoid favors, but after she decided to compete for favors, she soon became fascinated by the emperor and was in the limelight in the harem.
Therefore, Zhen Huan has always been very confident in herself, and even a little conceited, so she will always be grumpy after the miscarriage, resulting in her falling out of favor.
Later, Yi Xiu used Chun Yuan's old clothes to frame Zhen Huan, and it was precisely because of Zhen Huan's arrogance and love for competition.
Princess Ru was different, she did not compete with the emperor, and quickly accepted her fall out of favor.
After Xiao Gege's death, RuFei would take advantage of the opportunity to hold Xiao Gege and cry in front of the emperor and regain her grace.
But rufei is not by nature either.
When she was young, she also longed for warmth and hated the deceit of the palace, so she would embroider poems on the silk spar.
When Kong Wu appeared with that piece of silk spar, it was the time when she was most depressed. The power is not there, but Kong Wu is willing to help her in everything, which just warms her lonely heart.
When she waited for Kong Wu in the snow, she drew Kong Wu with branches, and her face had a rare look of happiness, which was more beautiful than at any time in the play.
Rufei stared at the Kong Wu she had drawn, unconsciously fascinated, causing her eyes to be burned, but she was still willing to eat.
Rufei likes Kong Wu, more like the warmth she once longed for.
But it is precisely because she is too transparent and deeply familiar with human nature that she never says the origin of broken silk in front of Kong Wu, she longs for warmth, but does not believe in warmth.
After the Tianli Sect invaded the palace, Kong Wu took her by the hand and wanted to take her to escape. If Rufei really escaped with Kong Wu, there might be a happy ending.
But unfortunately, Kong Wu's other hand was still holding Anxi.
The beauty that the audience thinks is only possible.
Rufei asked the question she wanted to ask, "If you can only choose one, how do you choose?" ”
Kong Wu was reluctant to let go of Rufei's hand, but he also did not let go of Anxi.
Rufei knew very well in her heart that if she really escaped with Kong Wu, she would most likely change from Kong Wu's white moonlight to mosquito blood.
She lived in the palace, and the only skill she learned was fighting, and when she won the fight, she could still eat and drink.
But if she goes out, let's not say whether she wants to compete with Anxi for Kong Wu's favor, even if she can really win the fight, she may not be able to live better than now.
If the concubine is transparent, she cannot tolerate her self-deception, thinking that life outside the palace will definitely be better, and she will give up Kong Wu and be willing to stay in the palace.
The tragedy of Rufei lies in her transparency.
When she gains power, she must be fiercer than anyone else to maintain her position and avoid "man-made knife tricks, I am fish meat".
When she loses power, she still knows how to keep her dignity, not only does not give in to her former enemies, but also does not want to wronged herself, and will fall in love.
Sometimes, I really hope that Rufei can be willful once, boldly fulfill herself, and escape from the palace.
But after all, she was not the young Niu Hulu Ruyue, but the Concubine ru in the Forbidden City, destined to walk out of the palace wall.
