Chapter 372 Bottled old wine
The rain has not stopped and has been falling, covering the pavilions and towers in a mist, making people think of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River at a glance. The scene of the drama being performed on the small stage of the Imperial Palace Garden is the style of misty rain.
"Where is the beautiful scenery of West Lake in March, the spring rain is like wine, willows are like smoke..."
"If you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, you will be hard to hold your hands without destined to..."
"I have been able to cross the same boat in ten years, and I have been able to sleep together for a hundred years..."
"If there is a thousand years of luck, we will be together in front of us..."
In the classic singing melody, Bai Suzhen, a thousand-year-old snake spirit, reincarnated as Xu Xian, his life-saving benefactor, met on the "Stone Bridge by the West Lake outside Xiyang City" and began a touching and tortuous love story.
Off the stage, Empress Yuchi Chifan, the concubines and the women from the harem, quietly watched the performance on the stage, and was very fascinated.
At the same time, Yuwen Wen, who was sitting in the back of the middle, whispered to Yang Ji from time to time. The new drama "The Legend of the White Snake" was staged. As the "main creator behind the scenes", Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji naturally had to pay attention to "market reactions" at all times.
Yang Ji's wife Xian is also here now, so it doesn't seem abrupt that Yang Ji appears on the scene. Facing the "New Bottle Old Wine" drama "Legend of White Snake" on the stage, he could only pretend to be very interested.
"The Legend of White Snake" is said to be originally seen in "The King of Jingshi Tongyan" in the late Ming Dynasty. The story is set in the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty. It tells the story that a thousand-year-old snake demon turned into a beautiful woman named Bai Suzhen and his maid Xiaoqing. He met the scholar Xu Xian in West Lake, Hangzhou, and fell in love at first sight after sheltering from the rain.
The white snake pursued her desire and wanted to be entangled with the scholar, so she married Xu Xian. After marriage, she experienced many troubles. Bai Snake often showed strangeness, and Xu Xian was shocked and suspicious.
Fahai, a monk from Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, gave Xu Xian a bowl and asked him to cover his wife, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, and revealed his true form after being covered by the bowl. Fahai then placed the bowl in front of Lei Temple Peak and asked someone to build a seven-level pagoda on it, called Leifeng, Yongzhen Bai, and Qing in the pagoda.
This story later evolved into a sad love story, and the story should have existed long ago, so thanks to the refinement of the story by countless people over the past hundreds of years, the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" is popular.
So much so that there was a classic TV series "The Legend of the White Snake" in later generations, which still vividly remembered by Yuwen Wen.
Whenever songs such as "Waiting for a Thousand Years" and "Flowing Love" are played, everyone knows that the summer vacation is here.
It is indeed summer now, and the drama performed in front of you is obtained by "deeply borrowing from" the story outline of "The Legend of White Snake". There are also classic soundtracks and lyrics, basically made by Yu Wen Wen, and Yang Ji is responsible for rewriting the script.
In that era, Yang Ji had read "The King of War" and knew the story of Snake Bai, so he adapted it easily.
The imperial court has now implemented the imperial examinations and has been given the title of "top scholar", so the son of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen became "top scholar", bowing to his mother in front of Leifeng Pagoda, and filial piety to the world, allowing Bai Suzhen to escape from difficulties and reunite the family.
In this way, the story was completely "prepaid" and adapted into a drama.
This is a drama that is to be promoted all over the country, so try not to use any difficult "special effects" to reduce the difficulty of the performance so that more troupes can get started and perform in various places.
After the troupe's hard rehearsal, the complete "Legend of White Snake" has now been officially performed. Today is the "premiere" and the location is in the palace.
When Yuwen Wen saw that the female family was fascinated by the show, the stage effect was good, and the actors on the stage had a familiar melody, he was happy and talked too much and talked frequently with Yang Ji.
As the emperor and Yang Ji as one of the 125th generals, the two of them actually started to do dramas. It was so incompetent that they were not good at anything.
"That year," he attacked Houliang in the south, defeated the Khitan in the north, and took Hebei in the east, and merged with the river in the west. Li Cunxu, the King of Jin, founded the country and became emperor. He became famous and became famous and immersed in the funeral. He was unable to govern the country and was unable to use people. He indulged the queen in politics, valued actors and eunuchs, and was vigilant to kill meritorious officials. He died in a mutiny within a few years.
Now, is Yuwen Wen going to "repeat the same mistake"?
Of course not. The court has the responsibility to educate the people. As the emperor, Yuwen Wen must find a way to better educate the people. Then popular drama is one of the best methods. Many great principles are expressed in drama form, which are easier for the people to accept.
If people who can’t read the script and read the instructions, they may not understand the words, so who will take it to their hearts?
Not to mention that drama plays an indispensable role in enriching the lives of the people. People who work hard for two meals a day all day often have unhappy times, and need entertainment channels to alleviate various negative emotions and temporarily forget all kinds of unhappy life.
Then joining the military opera, acrobatics, and drama is a good medicine to soothe the people. Therefore, Yuwen Wen is not entertaining himself, addicted to wine and sex, and writing drama is not about playing with things and losing his ambition, but about performing his duties.
Years of experience in performing screenwriters have allowed Xiyang to train many experienced opera troupes and screenwriters. In fact, Yu Wenwen needs to write less and less. Perhaps in a few years, he will not need to "deeply learn from it", but there will be truly original drama repertoire.
It was really time for him to really have the opportunity to watch the show with all his heart, otherwise he would always watch "old wine in new bottles" and would have to pretend to be very engaging in watching it. He was really tired.
However, that day will never come, because the films and TV series he has watched will not "reappear" in his lifetime. Current technology is far from the high technology in later generations.
......
In the evening, Yu Wen Wen, who was sitting alone in the study, played the pipa song "Ambushes on Ten Sides". With a snap of his fingers, thousands of troops came out in full bloom.
Zheng Yi, who worked tirelessly to arrange the song "Ten-sided Ambush", has long been dead for many years. This pipa expert who is not at all named Zhengyi has made outstanding contributions to the work of "Ten-sided Ambush". Otherwise, Yuwen Wen's level would not be able to "restore" it.
The performance of "Ten-sided Ambush" is a solo, with intense and shocking music, showing the scene of Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, being surrounded by the Han army.
Yuwen Wen was playing "Ambush on Ten Ways", but he was thinking of another hero who was the last, Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuang of Later Tang Dynasty.
Li Cunxu, also known as Li Yazi, was brave and good at fighting when he was young. He made countless military achievements and completed the three-epidemic oath against his father, King Li Keyong of Jin, defeated the Khitan, conquered the Later Liang, Former Shu, pacified Hebei, and established the country and became emperor.
But he died in a mutiny.
Such an emperor who is good at fighting should have created a great cause with the founding emperors of other dynasties. Why did he die in a mutiny?
This happened under the special background of the Five Dynasties. For Yuwen Wen, the truth is not difficult to understand: the emperor lost control of the army, and the former Changsheng head coach could no longer suppress the arrogant soldiers and generals below.
"Learning from the past" alerted people. The sound of the pipa stopped, and Yuwen Wen felt thoughtful. He put the pipa down, turned around and sat down in front of the desk, and began to conceive a story suitable for adaptation into a script.
A story suitable for soldiers.
The people have entertainment needs, and the soldiers also have entertainment needs. The court wants to educate the people, and the emperor also wants to educate the soldiers. The soldiers must know what loyalty is the emperor and patriotism, and what loyalty, righteousness and shame are.
Therefore, he cannot slackew.
The pen holder cannot stop, and the indoctrination of thought must not stop.
