Chapter 396 Liu Jingting Talks about the Three Kingdoms (Part 2)
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a popular saying in that era. However, after reading the whole book thoroughly, you will find that this conclusion is still conceptualized. Although the novel takes Liu Bei of Shu Han as orthodox, he consciously portrays Cao Cao as a "traitor in troubled times", the article also writes a lot about Cao Cao's talent and strategy, such as the battle of Guandu, defeating Yuan Shao with few defeats, such as burning letters to communicate with the enemy to calm the morale of the army, and even more like the famous "using the emperor to command the princes."
With the development of the times, people's ideas have been updated. Now when reading "Three Kingdoms" again, what they feel and gain may be completely different. Discussions with positions are meaningless, but artistic value and practical value are increasingly caring for people.
On the one hand, "Three Kingdoms" uses outstanding artistic techniques to shape typical characters with different personalities such as "Three Wonders" (Cao Cao, Guan Yu, and Zhuge Liang); on the other hand, the author uses superb techniques to integrate war wisdom such as "Thirty-Six Strategies" into the novel, writing the war scenes fascinatingly, making this book both military strategic significance. As we all know, the United States highly praised the military value of this book.
In addition, after entering the market economy, countless business leaders and trendsetters in various fields began to focus on exploring the management art in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In fact, whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei or Sun Quan, they all have their own system in leading the team. For example, the power, loyalty and temperament mentioned by Liu Jingting and Shi Xuan, of course, in the final analysis, they are all means to win people's hearts. For managers, the value of learning and reference is not low.
It can be said that among the four great classics, the first thing to recommend "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
This information was naturally also included in Liu Jingting's alternate rhetoric, but on the way from the airport to Shi Xuan's house, Liu Jingting suddenly realized that the story had not been widely circulated, and these contents can be summarized in a sentence "at the same time, the practical significance of the text will be taken into account."
The content of his statement today is still the position and three views.
Shi Xuan's home is a top-notch duplex building, which is not luxurious, but the layout is more particular. The items placed indoors and the style of furniture are based on low-key connotations.
Liu Jingting and Kang Yuchang sat down on the sofa in the living room. Continue to talk about the topic in the car. At this time, Liu Jingting was already talking about Zhuge Liang's "The Memorial to the Emperor".
This is how it is said that when Liu Jingting introduced the character Zhuge Liang, Shi Xuan's attention was immediately attracted. Most of the questions raised were around this sage prime minister who "bowed the essence and died before he died."
"I remember you mentioned Zhuge Liang once in "The Return of the Condor Heroes". It seemed that Guo Jing was taking Yang Guo to patrol the city, right?" asked Director Kang.
Liu Jingting nodded and said, "Guo Jing and Huang Rong's firm intention to guard Xiangyang is derived from Zhuge Liang's loyalty to Shu Han."
"In that historical period, Guo Jing and Huang Rong's position was to counter-aggression." Shi Xuan concluded.
Liu Jingting continued: "Zhuge Liang's position is to seek unification, and the country must always be unified."
When Shi Xuan heard this, he nodded and said, "Senior Brother Jingting, you have all the points very well. Report to Director Chen during dinner tonight."
"Okay." Liu Jingting replied sincerely.
...
Director Chen came to Shi Xuan's house at 7:25, just five minutes ahead of schedule. Director Chen made a few polite words with Shi Xuan first. Although his level was one level lower, judging from his posture, Director Chen was upright and had a stern temperament. He was definitely not the kind of person who could be easily convinced.
Shi Xuan then introduced Director Kang and Liu Jingting to Director Chen. Director Chen first greeted Director Kang for a while, then turned to look at Liu Jingting and said, "No matter what, Xiao Liu, you have to give me enough reasons."
Liu Jingting said intimately, "Awesome", and made the words clear in front of Shi Xuan and Director Kang, and instantly took the initiative.
Liu Jingting smiled and nodded, saying, "I will definitely speak out."
At 7:30, the meal officially started and the conversation officially began. Several people first talked about their personal opinions on the current domestic cultural situation, mentioned the guidance and influence of literary and artistic works on the public, and mentioned various fields such as publishing, drama, film and television. Shi Xuan and Director Chen both specifically mentioned the impact and benefits of the Internet on traditional culture.
After talking about the country, we will talk about foreign countries, openness and cooperation, and learning and reference. Because Director Kang's existence is inevitably involved in the field of education. After half an hour of dinner, the topic never revolves around the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Liu Jingting is also not impatient or impatient. He has something to say and listens quietly. Although no one reveals it, the four adults, including Mrs. Shi, secretly praised Liu Jingting's cultivation and tolerance in his heart.
Shi Xuan looked at Liu Jingting, nodded slightly with praise, and was about to talk about this, when the phone rang suddenly at home. Mrs. Shi apologized and walked over to answer the phone. After interrupting, the conversation was led by Director Chen to the Nobel Prize in Literature. The topic had just begun. Mrs. Shi called Shi Xuan there and said, "Old Shi, Minister Yang."
Shi Xuan subconsciously glanced at Liu Jingting, then complained to Director Kang and Director Chen and went over to answer the phone.
Director Chen had to change the topic and asked about the enrollment of Director Kang’s Vientiane Academy this year. Suddenly, Shi Xuan laughed and said, “It’s Lao Yang, your future son-in-law is good, but it’s also my Shi’s junior brother. Lao Yang, you’re a redundant reminder.”
Director Chen's expression slightly condensed, he glanced at Liu Jingting in confusion, and then looked at Director Kang with inquiring eyes.
Director Kang said, "Minister Yang's daughter is also studying in my school," and then pointed at Liu Jingting: "I happened to be a roommate with him, and I am now talking about boyfriend and girlfriend."
Liu Jingting nodded.
Director Chen said "yes", and a strange expression flashed through his eyes.
After Shi Xuan and his wife returned to their seats, Shi Xuan made a few more jokes about this matter. Director Chen nodded and smiled. When Shi Xuan finished speaking, he suddenly turned to ask Liu Jingting: "Is the outline of the script of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" handed over by Xingyue on behalf of you? "Is the outline of the script of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Xingyue handed over on behalf of you?"
Liu Jingting said: "It's the final draft."
"Consistent with the novels serialized in your magazine?"
“Consistent.”
"Then, it's really changed a lot."
Liu Jingting repeated what he said to Shi Xuan in another way, and added some artistic logic to add to it: "I will ignorate some people slightly, because after all, it is a historical novel creation. If you want to pursue dramatic conflicts, the characters should be opposed and as clear as possible."
"The skeleton thing won't change?"
"This is absolutely not the case. In order to make the story exciting and create typical characters, there will be some "saying the wrong person" event adjustments, and the overall historical process cannot be changed."
Director Chen pondered slightly and asked again: "The audience's understanding of history has agreed to be a common name. Will they accept your new compilation?"
Liu Jingting nodded in agreement and said, "There will be conflicts, but according to the investigation I conducted, everyone's understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms is not very deep. It is probably because they know that there are people like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Zhuge Liang. As for how they divide the Three Kingdoms into each other and how they fight each other, their concepts are relatively vague."
"Wouldn't this be misleading?"
"Or guide," Shi Xuan continued cautiously: "Just like the controversy caused by "The Book and Sword" in the historical community, and the "Genghis Khan fever" brought by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", after "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" became popular, it will prompt more people to pay attention to this magnificent history. They will look at the stories and review historical materials to confirm it, which will be interesting."
Director Chen said: "Minister Shi, your opinion is..."
"I have been convinced that it has nothing to do with the teacher, nor has it to do with our brotherly friendship. After listening to Jingting's ideas and judgments, I thought there was great potential, not only in the literary and artistic works themselves, but also in history, but also in higher intentions."
Shi Xuan said this sentence more implicitly, but in Director Chen's ears, it is the most important thing.
"This work may not convey complete and accurate historical materials to the audience, but it will definitely establish a positive historical view for the general public. In a sense, this is the ultimate pursuit of the educational significance of historical works." Director Kang added.
Director Chen Zheng pointed out, saying: "Minister Shi and Director Kang both said this, then there is definitely no problem. Xiao Liu, I have another question at the end. If you ask you to evaluate this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with a sentence you think is most appropriate, what would you say?"
"It can become a world-renowned work like "Journey to the West"."
