China Entertainment's turbulent era

Chapter 192 Peking Opera?The subversive "Legend of the White Snake"!
What exactly is written in Feng Menglong's "Warning the World"?

It is also very simple to say.

Whenever we mention the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" on weekdays, we will definitely say that this is the story between Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian, Xiaoqing, and Fahai.

But in fact, there was no such thing as Xu Xian.

That person Xu Xuan.

In Feng Menglong's works, it is about a man named Xu Xuan. He is indeed the hero, but his identity is not so legendary, he is just a drug dealer.

One day I met two women in West Lake.

It was raining that day, and the two girls were beautiful. They were in the same boat, and this was the meeting on the broken bridge.

However, Mr. Feng Menglong's writing is also very true, and Xu Xuan's heart became agitated when he saw the woman.

The horse gallops thousands of miles away, and the butterflies and bees make trouble at five o'clock.

... This is the original text.

Since Xu Xuan has already taken a fancy to him, Bai Suzhen just resorted to a trick and married Xu Xuan.

The white lady had a husband's family before, but her husband had died before, it seemed that her fate was unlucky, and she was not blessed to accept such a beauty as her.

It's just that all kinds of strange things did happen later, and Xu Xuan also felt that there was a problem. In addition, there were commercial competitions and the intervention of the yamen.

Bai Suzhen was indeed very resourceful, and she had dealt with her a few times before.

In fact, most of the property Xu Xuan used from Bai Suzhen was stolen by Bai Suzhen from the government.

It wasn't until later that Xu Xuan couldn't hide the fact that she was a snake demon, so Xu Xuan tried every means to survive.

After that, I met Fa Hai.

In the original text, Fa Hai's age was not described too much, it was just said that he was fine-looking, and he was not bad looking.

Claiming to be an old monk, probably not too young.

In the end, it was familiar, and Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were taken in.

Bai Suzhen was crushed under the Leifeng Pagoda, and Xu Xuan was also ordained to become a monk.

The story ends here, and there is no such plot as the number one scholar saving his mother later.

Otherwise, the original text would not use 'Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda' as the title.

If there is any implication or something, it is the same as the title of this work "Warning the World".

The last poem in the original text is as follows:
The patriarch saved me from the mortal world, and the iron tree blooms and begins to see spring.

Reincarnation, reincarnation, rebirth, transformation and rebirth.

In order to know whether there is form or not, one must know that there is form but form.

Form is emptiness and emptiness, and emptiness and color must be distinct.

Feng Menglong's meaning is very clear, it is to warn the majority of male compatriots, don't be fascinated by beauty, maybe the object of your liking will turn into a big white snake.

Of course, his warning is probably useless.

If you analyze from the character's personality.

Xu Xuan is really nothing outstanding, it should be because of his handsome looks that Bai Suzhen has taken a fancy to him.

And Bai Suzhen, in this "Warning to the World", her eyes are full of strength.

She could even threaten Xu Xuan with the lives of all the people in the city in order to marry him.

Gentle and kind or something, I really can't see it.

And Xiaoqing was originally not a snake, but a herring.

This is really far from the familiar folklore.

Of course Xiaomi only knew that Bai Suzhen, the white lady, was a good monster, and of course she only knew that Xu Xian was hesitant to hesitate, but in the end he was still a good person.

But it never occurred to them that they turned out to be like this.

wrong.

Xiaomi didn't believe it at the beginning, but after asking, Shen Fang bluntly said that there are indeed many folk legends about the story of the white lady, but the book written by Feng Menglong is there, and you can read it at any time.

Xiaomi was originally a smart girl, her academic performance... well, her test scores were higher than Shen Fang's.

However, this kind of extracurricular reading material, so it is normal not to know.

But here comes the key question, why a story that was originally intended to warn men not to be fascinated by beauty turned into a very poignant love legend.

Moreover, it has become a very popular folklore.

This...well, in the final analysis, it seems to be a relationship between a transvestite, a transvestite, Xu Xian will be better than a snake in the future.

Xiaomi couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, Shen Fang is serious. He knew that Xiaomi would have many puzzles, so he simply explained it.

In fact, this "Bai Suzhen Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda" should also come from folklore, and Feng Menglong left the content that can serve as a warning in order to warn his male compatriots.

In the Qing Dynasty, a work called "Yi Yao Zhuan" appeared.

This is said to be "The Legend of Yi Yao", but it is actually the story of Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing and other monsters.

You know the name, so it must be a good thing.

And now, the story of "Legend of the White Snake" has basically been fixed, which is similar to the content of "Legend of the New White Snake".

In fact, this change is also very simple. There is such a folklore, and what should this folklore look like?

Whoever has the most influence has the final say!

When "Warning the World" had a great influence, everyone thought that Bai Suzhen was a seductive and criminal monster.

When "Yi Yao Zhuan" was widely sung, everyone felt that although Bai Suzhen was a monster, she was not bad.

When "Legend of the New White Snake" becomes very popular, especially Bai Suzhen is still played by Aunt Zhao, this aunt is really amazing.

Everyone felt that it was a snake, so what did it matter?
The love of transvestites is just, Fa Hai, you old man, don't make trouble!

When Shen Fang said this, the girl Xiaomi laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

However, when she thought about it, she had complained about Xu Xian before, right?

The two of them really are good brothers.

However, Xiaomi immediately thought of a problem.

Interestingly, before Xiaomi could ask, Shen Fang gave her an answer.

"I intend to make this film as an experimental film, that is to say, I must make some breakthroughs.

And this breakthrough has something to do with the historical changes in "Legend of the White Snake".

I believe you should have guessed it, right? "

Guess?

Needless to say, Xiaomi does have something on her mind.

"That is to say, there is a "Legend of the White Snake" in "Warning the World", and a "Legend of the White Snake" from folklore?"

Shen Fang smiled and nodded after listening.

"Yeah, I'm going to take advantage of that.

My intention is to design the time background as modern. "

Xiaomi couldn't help but interrupted at the time: "Then this is too breakthrough? Also, how can we let the audience understand that this is a story of "The Legend of the White Snake"?"

In fact, the matter that Xiaomi is worried about is not difficult in itself, and, in recent years, there have been many examples.

Remember the previous "The Promise", "The Night Banquet" and "The Golden Armor in the City"?

The works of these directors are also adaptations of classic dramas.

They changed Shakespeare's or Cao Yu's into the style of our Chinese history. Even if it is fantasy, it is also in line with the characteristics of our Chinese history.

Shen Fang also intends to learn a lesson this time, but his adaptation is bolder this time.

"My preliminary thought is that Xu Xuan is a Peking opera actor, and his recent rehearsal is a new "Legend of the White Snake". During the rehearsal process, he wanted to make some innovations. He himself is Xu Xian, and he Also known as Xu Xuan, he is the leading actor and director. It is true that the current situation of Peking Opera is not very good.

Hope to do some innovation, in order to get a better market.

But some people don't want him to innovate, and it is better to stick to the rules of the ancestors.

Under such circumstances, Xu Xuan also had some conflicts with the actress who played Bai Suzhen, who was also his object.

One day, while indulging himself a little and getting drunk, a woman approached him. "

Xiaomi was stunned when she heard what Shen Fang said.

The idea is so bold!

This idea is too novel!
And, that woman must be her.

"I'm that Xiaoqing?"

"Ah."

"So, am I a green snake or a herring?"

"herring."

"That is to say..."

"That's right, Xiaoqing told Xu Xuan the story of the White Snake in "Warning the World". She is the herring who has practiced for thousands of years!"

"This……"

"The one rehearsing with Xu Xuan is actually Bai Suzhen!"

"Everyone is reincarnated?"

"It can be understood in this way, but I don't want to make this matter clear in the movie and let the audience think for themselves."

"Brecht?"

"No, it's just a suspense, this movie..."

"Shen Fang, I somehow feel like a horror movie?"

"Congratulations, you can answer quickly. I just want to make a horror movie. I want to scare people well."

"you……"

"This is an experimental film."

"No, it's definitely not just scary."

"Well, I can tell you in advance that the two of us should have a large-scale scene, but you can also rest assured that you won't show anything, um, maybe I will show it."

puff!

When Xiaomi heard this, she really couldn't bear it.

But, for some reason, she already had a picture in her mind.

She is that real Xiaoqing, and she came this time to actually take Xu Xuan away from her sister Bai Suzhen.

So, two people had a relationship.

This……

Can I, Yang Xiaomi, write a screenplay too?
In fact, this girl didn't know that Shen Fang hadn't finalized the plot yet, he just thought of these, and there would definitely be quite a lot of revisions in the future.

But there is one more problem.

"Then in this Beijing opera..."

"There is another Xiaoqing."

"she……"

"She is a green snake."

"Wow, I feel like I'm getting goosebumps hearing what you said."

"Stop it."

"Wait a minute, Peking Opera?"

"Uh-huh."

This is the end of the chat between Xiaomi and Shen Fang, because this is enough.

And the last key mentioned by Xiaomi, Peking Opera...

That's right, Shen Fang didn't let Senior Sister Zeng go.

She is always there, and even eavesdrops on Shen Fang's chat with Xiaomi from time to time.

"You want to use Peking Opera?"

"Yes, let's be blunt. This time I plan to use the form of opera to express the myth and legend of the legend of the white snake. The details are, for the part of the costume drama, I plan to use opera to perform it, just like Uncle Long in "Myth". He recalled the experience of his previous life, but this time we use opera."

Shen Fang's idea is so innovative!
Moreover, Sister Zeng already has many pictures in her mind, ghosts, love, horror, horror... If this movie can be made, it will be really creative!
The heartbeat quickened.

In fact, Shen Fang had an inspiration, and that was the later Cantonese opera movie "The Legend of the White Snake·Love".

This is a well-known movie based on Cantonese opera and using modern methods.

Shen Fang likes some scenes in this movie very much. The opera combined with special effects has a particularly attractive Chinese flavor.

That's right, it's the taste of our Chinese culture!

Many people probably don't know that the animation industry in the island country is so strong now, but back then, they were not as good as ours.

The first animated film in the island country is "Legend of the White Snake".

This movie has a great influence on the development of their animation, which belongs to our culture, but many of our cultures have been taken by foreign countries as their own.

Later, all kinds of thieves in the stick country, in fact, the island country stole more.

We have really lost a lot of things, Shen Fang really wants to get them back now.

Shen Fang now has a special effects company, and he feels that it is possible for him to produce the visual effects of "The Legend of the White Snake".

Even if it doesn't reach 100%, at least it can reach 8%.

The difficulty for Shen Fang is that he doesn't know much about opera.

It just so happens that the senior sister understands, and understands very well.

So……

"But I won't play Xiaoqing." Yes, she was originally playing Bai Suzhen.

But obviously, she couldn't play Bai Suzhen this time.

Shen Fang had no choice but to nod, "Yes, yes, sister, help us and guide us."

"This……"

Sister Zeng still hesitated, but she never expected that Shen Fang would say such a weird sentence.

"Sister, you are my only sister."

Sister Zeng blushed when she said this.
