For Li Yi, after any work goes online, it becomes a thing of the past.
"A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles" has been interpreted a lot, and some people will definitely come out and say, ah, this is an over-interpretation of Balabala.
In fact, it is not just any work of "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles". As long as it is interpreted too much, there must be over-interpretation, but this in itself also shows the popularity of this work.
Works that can often be over-interpreted are at least excellent works.
In the same way, if a movie is praised by too many people, a lot of people will inevitably come out and say that it is an over-praised work, etc.
But the premise is that your work must have the basis for "over-praise".
For example, "Wolf Warrior", many people say it is an over-praised movie, but this movie has a shockingly high box office.
So whether it is over-praise or not, actually has nothing to do with the original author.
Similarly, Li Yi didn't actually pay attention to outside voices.
What is he doing at this time?
At this moment, he was listening to a play at the Chang'an Grand Theater with his wife Mu Qing.
In fact, speaking of it, Li Yi still has a certain understanding of drama. Although it is definitely not comparable to professionals, in the directing industry, you really must have some understanding of this kind of things.
Speaking of which, drama is probably the most frustrating genre as domestic traditional culture gradually declines.
In ancient times, drama was probably equivalent to today’s film and television works.
I don’t say that everyone understands it, but at least many people can watch it. It is also a relatively folk entertainment that has penetrated into the folk.
In the early years, drama was actually very popular among the people. At that time, there were very few cinemas, and people's economic conditions did not allow them to go to cinemas to watch movies.
TV programs are relatively expensive and scarce, so dramas are very popular among the people.
Even if a child doesn't understand drama, at least it won't be so unfamiliar.
In other words, when I was a child, I went to watch a play under the stage, not really watching a play at all, but to watch the excitement, but even if I was to watch the excitement, I would at least have some impressions.
I guess this is also the case for many people. During some festivals, or when the elderly celebrate their birthdays, people usually invite some opera singers to sing in operas. The excitement is definitely very lively, but for children, what they are watching is not a opera. Instead of those snacks, you can have fun.
But when it comes to drama, I believe many people who came from that era will be familiar with it.
But what now?
How many people went to the theater?
Not to mention children, how many adults will go and see it?
Theaters in the countryside may occasionally invite actors to sing in operas, but it is rare for theatergoers to see children and young adults in the audience.
Most of them are elderly people. Therefore, in the minds of many people, drama has become a program for the elderly.
It must be said that this is a tragedy that traditional culture is gradually disappearing.
When this generation gets older, how many people in the new generation will know how to read it?
Many people may even never see a real drama in their lifetime.
Closer to home, the play being sung on the stage at this moment is the Kun Opera play "The Peach Blossom Fan".
Li Yi did have some understanding of Kun Opera and Peking Opera, but of course it was limited to a more general understanding.
He only knows that Kun Opera is called the "master of all kinds of operas", and that when Peking Opera was first formed, it also borrowed a lot of performance techniques and methods from Kun Opera, such as singing, body posture, makeup, stylized performances and a large number of martial arts repertoires. So some people say: "There is no separation between Beijing and Kunming."
However, most people who don’t understand opera have difficulty distinguishing the difference between Kun Opera and Peking Opera.
"I once saw the orioles in the Jade Palace of Jinling crowing at dawn, and the flowers blooming early on the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew they would easily fade away in the ice!
Watching him build a Zhulou, watching him banquet guests, watching his building collapse!
I once slept in this mossy and green tile pile, watching the rise and fall of fifty years. "
At the same time, a bright red color suddenly appeared in Li Yi's mind, and an opera actor in costume was singing on the stage.
Immediately afterwards, the raging fire submerged it.
And a piece of modern popular singing sounded: "The people in the audience walked by, but no old colors were seen. The people on the stage sang, a heartbreaking farewell song. The words of love are hard to write down. She sings with blood. Who is the scene when the curtain rises? Are you a guest? You just finished singing and I will come on stage. Don’t laugh at the romantic drama, don’t laugh at people’s absurdity. I also asked Qing Huang who sang about rise and fall. The Tao is ruthless and the Tao is sentimental. How can you think about it? "
"Chi Ling", this is a song, but it is also a story.
This is not a movie, just a song. Of course, a complete background story is made up for the song. However, it is relatively rare to have a story because of its unique way of expression.
The core of the story is actually the story of an actor serving his country. Red, red person, red, and ling, there is no need to say more.
Chi Ling translated into vernacular, that is: the actor in the fire.
When I came back to my senses, the scene had already come to an end.
"Current call?" Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Yes, what are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed in your thoughts?" Mu Qing asked curiously.
"I thought of a story, a story related to drama." Li Yi had nothing to hide.
"The story of the new movie?" Mu Qing was already used to Li Yi's sudden inspiration. Not surprised, but still quite curious.
"No, it's just a story, but the movie..." Li Yi shook his head. It would not be easy to adapt the story of "Chi Ling" into a movie.
Because the story of Chi Ling is, to put it bluntly, just the story of a song.
Although the movie also tells a story, it is not that simple and clear.
Of course, this does not mean that the story of Chi Ling cannot be adapted into a movie. At least, it can be said that if the story is to be made into a movie, then the story of "Chi Ling" can indeed be used as the main line, but this is definitely not enough.
After all, the original story was just made into a music video.
And if it is going to be made into a movie, this will definitely not be decided in a short time, because if it is really going to be made, there will definitely be a lot of drama-related things.
After all, the protagonist of Chi Ling is an opera actor.
And the story also develops around the actors, so if you want to make a movie like this, you must have a better understanding of Kun Opera, Peking Opera, etc.
At the same time, it’s not that easy to find actors for a play like this.
Although there are professional colleges and universities in China such as the Academy of Drama and the Academy of Chinese Opera.
But it's not easy to find such actors.
The key is that Li Yi didn't think it through. After all, it was just a sudden idea.
Moreover, if it really wants to be made into a movie, it will take a long time to save the script.
There is nothing ready-made for Li Yi to copy directly.
Unless Li Yi just wants to make a MV short film, otherwise, it will involve a lot of things.
Of course, Li Yi was indeed a little interested. After all, this type of work itself was extremely rare in China.
