"Shanzi, how was it in Han Country? Didn't I see your performance?"
Jin Xishan's subconscious question unintentionally revealed her constant concern for her man.
Liu Qingshan chuckled: "I'm busy right now. I don't have time to care about the stage. I've turned down many invitations to shows!"
Li Shaohong shook hands with him and said, "I was just about to call you, but Xishan said you would come over and save me the long-distance phone bill!"
In addition to her work ability, this woman is also well-known as a good wife and mother. She is also famous for being a careful budgeter. The second half of this sentence is not just a polite statement.
Liu Qingshan nodded: "Is it a matter of post-editing? You just follow your own pace. My opinions are just suggestions. The decision of whether to adopt or not is still in your hands!"
Unexpectedly, Director Li shook his head: "It is stipulated in the contract to improve the post-editing under your review. I will not be stubborn! There are other reasons for what I want to say. A history expert came to visit the class two days ago. , he raised a very serious question, that is, about the queen’s IQ??????????????????
While she was speaking, she pointed at Cai Shaofen, who rolled his eyes at her: "I am the empress, and I cannot accept being pointed at like this!"
As expected, her words aroused some laughter, and Jin Xishan rolled his eyes in response: "I said you should look at the timing when you are joking, but now we are talking about serious matters!"
The fact that she could refute it without caring about her tone showed that the friendship between the two women was not as deep as usual. Cai Shaofen also made a face in response.
Liu Qingshan was a little stunned for a moment, because he immediately felt the seriousness of the topic Jin Xishan said.
Besides, he is also a screenwriter. When someone pointed out bugs in the play, it was a serious question, even though he was happy to accept it.
But Director Li is famous for being rigorous in his work. At this time, even if he understands his inner thoughts, he will not stop talking, not to mention it is still in full view of the public.
"My friend who is an expert said that it is not appropriate for the empress dowager, who is a good mother, to have to be the family planning captain and make the concubines unable to give birth to children one by one, which made him a little bit dissatisfied. Ordinarily she is in the middle palace. She has no children and has her mother's family as her backer, so she won't be punished. She fights here and there every day to seek hatred. Why not find a coffin to sleep in? She should let those concubines have more children and let them fight on their own while she sits on the mountain and watches. Tiger fighting.”
Hearing that it was such a story, Liu Qingshan immediately felt relieved, so he explained with a smile: "A palace drama, of course, has to take the emotional entanglement of the characters in the palace or the struggle for political power as the main plot line. All the stories take place in In the isolated harem, 'fighting' is the core plot and focus of the narrative. Fighting on this intrigue and deceitful battlefield are a group of originally delicate aristocratic women. They fight desperately for only one goal: the emperor's rain and kindness. Beloved. There is no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil among all the characters in the story. The only differences are the quality of their means, the success or failure of their strategies, and the resulting differences in fate."
He talked a lot in one breath, and Jin Xishan thoughtfully handed him a bottle of water.
Liu Qingshan took a quick sip and said, "The cultural essence of palace fighting dramas is mainly the traditional moral values of men being superior to women and the three cardinal principles and five constant principles. Its value basis is the life-and-death jungle law. Works that adhere to such a value norm and meaning logic will affect We have seen many people’s imagination of history and their understanding of reality, but is it overkill to say that it is inconsistent with the strict real history? Historical dramas are not the same as history textbooks. The changes or changes in the plot It is not to copy the correctness of history, otherwise why do those experts only regard "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as official history and not exclude "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from the four great classics?"
His speech was extremely fast without losing depth. Even though most of the people present could not understand it, they did not include Li Shaohong and his wife.
Therefore, his words were unanimously nodded and approved by the two people, especially taking the examples of "Three Kingdoms" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". If you think about it carefully, it is really the case.
The drama itself is performed, and completely copying historical rhetoric would be suspected of over-interpretation. Moreover, there has never been an academic issue where official history has to look for the original reason or basis from the drama.
From this point of view, Director Li's friend is inevitably a bit critical. Besides, the questions he raised were also obtained from books. How can he definitely know history?????????? ?????The internal struggle in the palace mentioned by scientists is the most authentic interpretation?
A small character issue only arises in commercial dramas. As a producer, is it more important to strictly follow the official history, or is the ups and downs of the plot more marketable? It's just irrelevant nonsense.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan, who realized this, was very rude when he spoke, and was not afraid of offending the couple in front of him.
He even followed up with a more fierce argument: "Historical narratives and barnyard stories are two different things. The power struggles between emperors' advisers or the love-hate entanglements between concubines in the harem, which appear in literary works, are by no means the rise and fall of the historical drama genre. The replacement and distorted nature of the performance content, the historical and private palace fighting dramas lack the constraints of historical facts, and only reflect a certain narrowness of the spiritual pattern of this type. However, the emphasis on plot and fast pace always highlight the dramatic tension. Fundamentally, it cannot be equated with the innovation of spiritual connotation and cultural concepts, but no one with any brain will find fault with this aspect."
Seeing that he was getting more and more excited as he talked, Jin Xishan quickly explained to him: "Shanzi's mood may be a bit too extreme, but I think the reason behind it is obvious. Besides, the issue pointed out by that person is not an issue of historical principle. Shanzi's The script does not place the events of the Qing Dynasty on the Ming Dynasty, so the setting of a certain character in the plot is not important, right?"
Li Shaohong's character determines her today's achievements, that is, she has the courage to face different opinions, change them if they exist, and encourage them if they don't.
So she responded with a smile: "I did not refute Mr. Liu's views. On the contrary, I strongly agreed with his views! Before, I cared too much about the opinions of outsiders. If I insist on speaking as a literary and art worker, If you look at this issue from a different perspective, there will be no doubts today! I apologize, Mr. Liu, please forgive me for my lack of consideration in reflecting on the issue!"
Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "I don't mean to blame you at all, but I am just talking about the situation. The change in tone is not out of dissatisfaction, nor is it a refutation of a specific person, it is just a confession of personal understanding! "
Both of them were able to communicate calmly, but Zeng Yanping on the side obviously reacted a bit harshly. Of course, he was only targeting his wife.
"Shao Hong, is that what your friend said? Is it the group of people from the Northeastern academic community who came last month?"
Li Shaohong hurriedly explained: "Strictly speaking, they are not friends, let alone their general opinions, but only my high school classmate Liang Shan said it in private!"
"Liangshan? That professor from Shaanxi University? Oh my god, that's a pedantic little old man. Even though he's the same age, I, a stranger, can clearly see how conservative his thoughts are. You actually take his point of view? Consider it a consensus?"
"Where is the consensus? I just paid too much attention to what kind of market response this drama will get when it is filmed, and my previous starting point was just to ignore the professionalism I am engaged in!"
Seeing that the couple was about to quarrel, Liu Qingshan hurriedly tried to reconcile it: "What a big deal, Director Li is only concerned about it, but he is a little worried inside! Besides, I came up with the concept of Gongdouju." , it is a historical drama that puts entertainment first, so Director Li can be forgiven for feeling unsure at this time!”
These words are true. Although similar styles have long appeared abroad, such as Shakespeare's related works, the three words "Gongdou Opera" are indeed Liu Qingshan's It was first proposed in China.
Moreover, the blowout phenomenon of the palace fighting drama style has not yet appeared. At present, it has only begun to appear in the atmosphere of online articles. It has not yet become a trend and the specific concept has not been officially mentioned.
At the same time, most of the existing historical dramas are relatively rigorous. Although they involve harem struggles, most of them focus on the general trend of historical changes.
This kind of drama places the drama characters in the torrent of history, and deals with the characters' emotions in a grand way. It does not stick to the love between children and their children. Its plot also strives to restore historical records to the greatest extent, and is biased toward serious dramas.
The first appearance of palace fighting dramas will inevitably make those who are accustomed to watching historical dramas tend to be more serious dramas conscious, and there will be an inevitable collision of concepts with this type of drama.
Therefore, as the direct director of the first palace battle drama, Li Shaohong's feeling of uneasiness is of course an objective reality, and it is not surprising.
Therefore, her next words also confirmed the existence of this psychological change: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, Lao Zeng and I have different views on work, which will never extend to daily life, otherwise we both I have been divorced a long time ago! It is indeed caused by my lack of understanding of the drama mode of Gongdou Opera, which has greater creative space in the compilation of storylines than historical dramas. The mistake is mainly my fault. It is a kind of understanding of this drama. It is caused by anxiety and confusion about the future market recognition of the work.”
The next moment, Zeng Yanping patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder and explained with a smile: "Did you see it? The relationship between the two of us is not as fragile as you imagined. Work and life are clearly separated, and there will never be any emotional conflicts! "
Liu Qingshan hadn't said anything yet, but Jin Xishan was beating his chest: "I'm scared. I'm afraid that the model couples in the circle will have emotional disputes because of us! Shanzi, learn from us. Director Li and Director Zeng will treat us well." Lesson learned!”
Li Shaohong immediately responded with a smile: "Don't be like the two of us. Although we can still distinguish between work and life, there are still many conflicts in the actual process of daily life. We often fight over who is going to buy soy sauce and wash the dishes." Thick!"
Many people laughed, firstly because they saw that there was no real conflict, and secondly because they understood that Li Shaohong told the truth.
