Li Ke has produced many plays, and stored in the library in his mind are many classic plays such as "The Consort", "Su San Qi Jie", "The Legend of the White Snake", "The Romance of the West Chamber", "Mu Guiying Takes Command", "The Case of the Beauty", "Dou "Injustice" and so on.
These are treasures of literature and art, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" is naturally one of them. As an adaptation of the Yue opera "Nie Xiaoqian", it is based on "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a movie that Li Ke knows very well. There are countless versions of A Chinese Ghost Story in Hong Kong movies.
Whether it is Wang Zuxian, the fairy sister, or other female stars, each version has its own advantages. From a purely appreciation point of view, Li Ke does not think anyone is good or bad. The classic is nothing more than the first version. Movies and TV series that come out with good quality are called classics, nothing more.
There are many reasons for the low ratings of latecomers. Unless it is really bad, Li Ke never takes the initiative to evaluate.
But "A Chinese Ghost Story" produced by Li Ke is naturally adapted on the basis of Yue Opera. First of all, it is not a drama version, but a stage play. In addition, the content has also been changed, which is naturally different from the version Li Ke has seen.
Because these things he took out also shouldered different political tasks, what should be adapted would naturally be adapted. As for how to carry it forward in the future, that is not Li Ke's concern.
The ancients did not have many entertainment activities, so after someone invented it, it would be carried forward by future generations soon. As long as Li Ke comes up with these things, there will naturally be future generations to study more classic plays.
For example, Kun Opera, which historically developed from Qin Opera, quickly spread throughout China. Yue, Sichuan, Guangdong, Henan, Beijing, etc. all developed from this.
Li Ke is also preparing to bring out drama. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so he will bring out all the cultural treasures. As for how it will develop later, that is a matter for future generations. Li Ke will not care about it. He can't control it. He can't. Let him continue to manage in the underworld after he dies.
As one of the first batch of scripts, Li Ke had thought about several, such as "Teahouse". As a classic stage play, "Teahouse" has many meanings, and Li Ke could adapt it. This was not just the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Well, since the Tang Dynasty inherited the Chinese orthodoxy, we can only hack Grandpa.
As a grandson, he probably wouldn't mind if he hacked his grandpa.
Besides, Li Ke can also beautify it somewhat. Moreover, although his grandfather has some faults, he still has merit. It is nothing more than a matter of Spring and Autumn's brushwork. Of course, Li Ke couldn't wash himself very white.
Black and white, black and white are good.
All the characters in the teahouse can be replaced, as long as the background is set in Chang'an City in the late Sui Dynasty.
In fact, this kind of thing is similar in every era, especially at the end of the dynasty. It can really be described as a rampage of monsters and monsters. It is not an exaggeration to describe it.
Everyone was curious about the script Li Ke mentioned.
As soon as Huo left, Li Ke turned to Sun Ying. Seeing Li Ke's gaze, Sun Ying immediately became nervous. His Highness wouldn't buy her Mingyue Tower, right? If she really wants to buy it...she can't make the decision, the owner has to make the decision.
But presumably my boss... wouldn't offend His Highness.
Li Ke looked at her and then at the courtesans. To be honest, Li Ke didn't think there was any problem with these brothel girls acting as actors. How should I put it? Whether you can act or not depends on whether your life experience is rich. Your life experience is rich enough. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t studied acting.
Of course, it doesn't mean that if you have enough life experience, you can perform perfectly. After all, some people may not be suitable for this in terms of personality.
But think about it, these brothel girls are definitely first-class in this era, and they are not afraid of performing. This is their normal state, and they have met enough big shots.
The experience is rich enough.
Speaking of which, Li Ke lacks male actors.
If it is an old man, he can have Sun Zhenren make a guest appearance, such as Fahai in "The Legend of White Snake". Li Ke thinks there is no problem with Sun Zhenren making a cameo. As for the question of Sun Zhenren being a Taoist priest, this is also simple.
Based on Sun Zhenren's life experience, to be honest, imitating a master would definitely be first-class.
"Shopkeeper Sun, what do you think of my business?" Li Ke suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Sun Ying was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you are embarrassing me. How can I judge you? In Chang'an City, Your Highness has a nickname, you are the God of Wealth."
Li Ke smiled and said, "How about we start a business together?"
"Ah?" Sun Ying was stunned. Isn't this pie in the sky?
"Your Highness, you know that I have no right to make a decision, but you can tell me and I can tell my boss."
"Nothing, what do you think of us setting up a brothel industry federation? Each of your brothels is setting up brokerage firms one by one." Li Ke said with a smile.
"A brokerage firm?" Sun Ying couldn't understand.
"It means that you help these little ladies handle some personal matters, such as endorsement fees. For example, if I ask Lady Liuli to perform for my business, when Lady Liuli's reputation is big enough, one performance may cost 100,000 yuan, then When the time comes, Lady Liuli will get 50%, and your economic firm will get 50%." Li Ke gave an example.
"This... there aren't that many." Sun Ying was dumbfounded. In fact, brothels now have this business. When some large businesses opened, they would invite some of the brothel's oirans to perform dances and music on the spot, and of course they would pay the money. It's not a lot, but it's definitely not as much as one hundred thousand, generally speaking it's a few hundred to a thousand.
After all, it's just a show.
"How much or not is not decided by you, but by the market. However, there is a key point here, that is, these little ladies are not selling themselves to your brothel, but signing a contract with you, and they can even do it at any time. Replace the contract." Li Ke smiled.
"This..." Sun Ying felt a little confused.
Huiyue Tower is not far from here. Before Li Ke and Sun Ying finished talking, Huo Gang had already returned.
Apart from the script, the most gorgeous thing is naturally the costume and the maid who followed.
"Ms. Liuli, if you don't mind, let her put it on for you." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Yes." Helian Liuli smiled and saluted, then took the clothes and turned around to leave with the maid.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was a noise upstairs, when Helian Liuli, who had been replaced, came down the stairs.
Not only Li Ke's eyes lit up, but everyone was stunned, even the women.
It probably looks like this after getting wet, just imagine.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Li Ke nodded with satisfaction. There were several sets of clothing like this. This set was actually not the final version. Li Ke preferred the set with white as the main color, which would It makes the other person appear more innocent.
