Speaking of which, in China, many times the biggest problem with child actors in TV dramas is that their acting skills cannot keep up with the maturity of their characters.
But in Xia Guo, the situation is just the opposite. The actor's acting skills may be too mature compared to his appearance. Because in the film and television industry of this world, an actor can put on various shells and play various roles, so appearance and age are no longer a constraint on acting skills, but more often, how to return to nature It has become an actor's lifelong pursuit. In this case, because of Yin Lian's tall figure, they even planned to use her shell until she reached adulthood.
Relatively speaking, although the Yin brothers are not short in height, due to their immature appearance and youthful energy in their temperament, they can only take on the roles of the male protagonist and the male supporting actor when they were young. The crew also explained this. The female protagonist can be said to have a well-maintained and immortal appearance, while the male protagonist still needs to have a corresponding physique and vicissitudes of temperament when he reaches a certain age.
But in this script, the most important issue is certainly not this.
Yin Lian had no objections to this script. After all, there was a lot of money, and it was said that the original work and the crew were famous, but brothers Yin Changsheng and Yin Changning were quite opposed to it. Yin Changsheng said: "You are my sister! How can you accept this kind of plot!? Even if you are just borrowing a shell, what you see will make you sick, right? If I see you touching me in my TV series, I would really strangle myself to death! I’m not a beast!”
On this point, Yin Changning had the same reaction as his brother, saying: "Xiao Lian, this is really not good. Although the people watching and acting are not us, and may not know our relationship, we know it ourselves. Ah. And if they find out about this in the end, they will feel a little uncomfortable."
Seeing that they were all opposed, Yin Lian stopped insisting and said, "Then let's read the next one?"
After that, they screened the scripts, and during the screening process, the company replaced and added some scripts. In the remaining scripts, some are looking for Yin Changsheng and Yin Lian, some are looking for Yin Changning's Yin Lian, and some are looking for the three brothers and sisters, but a large part of them are looking for Yin Lian alone.
There are very few people who look for Yin Changsheng or Yin Changning alone, but there are some who want to take the two brothers together. In addition, these scripts almost always have a character of Yin Lian.
In many of them, brothers and sisters were chosen to play lovers.
Yin Lian: "What the hell?" Do you know that my brothers are very old-fashioned? This kind of script won't pass the review at all, okay? Do you know that my brother seems to be very knowledgeable, but he is actually an old man?
Probably not. Yin Lian thought about the scripts sent over, because I didn't know they were so serious before.
Finally, some scripts that did not violate the brothers' wishes were selected and passed.
Generally speaking, the relationship or emotion between brothers and sisters in the approved scripts is very pure, and there is no emotional entanglement in love. They are either brothers and sisters or friends, or they are two unrelated characters.
However, after the approved list was passed on, the agency probably understood the bottom line for the Yin brothers and sisters to select scripts, and then they knew what standards to follow when selecting.
After reading these scripts, Yin Changning also had some ideas.
Unlike Yin Changsheng, who actively integrated into the locals, although Yin Changning was praised by his literature teacher to a certain extent after going to class, he never made many friends, nor did he make frequent appointments with anyone. Go out. Most of the time, he just stayed at home silently, watching the world's masterpieces and films, and then revised and perfected the Dream of Red Mansions brought from Chun Shen.
He spent about two weeks typing this famous work using Xia Guo's text. Although most of the characters in Xia are consistent with those in China, there are also many characters with different glyphs. If the original version of Dream of Red Mansions were directly shown to people in this world, they might easily find something wrong, especially since the original version is of such high quality.
Therefore, Yin Changning had to re-enter the entire book before publishing it.
But since everything has been re-entered, it is inevitable that there will be some modifications in the process, such as different food types in the two worlds, some customs and habits... Yin Changning feels very pressured to change the details in this area - if anyone can do it Doing this kind of thing can be a bit stressful, but you can’t help but do it. Chang Ning could only comfort himself. In a sense, he was just translating and did not destroy the essence of the original work. Mr. Cao would not hate him.
He just wants to spread his work and let more people know about it.
Yin Changning's literary literacy is very good, higher than that of ordinary junior high school students, basically the same level as when taking the college entrance examination. If you don't major in literature in college, then for most non-professional writers, this is already their mature state in terms of basic writing. The future accumulation will be in experience and practical skills, but there will not be too obvious improvement in the interpretation and application of words.
Yin Changning may not know this, but he is somewhat confident in his writing skills, but he is always in awe when facing classic masterpieces like this.
He struggled with the Red Mansion for half a month, but in the end he still couldn't decide what to do, so he changed the previously modified details back, which was considered as giving up to the Cao family. There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and Mr. Cao's Red Mansions is a classic in the hearts of many people, but it is not perfect.
It has a lot of regrets and a lot of sadness.
But that is the real Red Mansion.
This confusion lasted until I saw a script called "Dream Bearer" written by an agency.
The history of Xia Kingdom is relatively similar to that of China, but there are also many differences. There have been several queens in the history of the Xia Kingdom. When there is really no orthodox male heir, there will be emperors who will train their daughters as heirs. The character Yin Lian Kezi who needs to be used in "Dream Bearer" is a famous poet princess in ancient Xia Kingdom, but she is not the heir to the throne. Even so, this princess is famous in history. There are still stories in the Chinese textbooks of Xia Kingdom such as "Ze Yu Destroyed the Book" and "The Wave Hits the Stone". Her level of fame is probably equivalent to that of China. "Sima Guang smashes the vat" and "grinds the iron pestle into a needle" are on this level.
The story "Zeyu Destroyed Books" tells the story of Princess Zeyu who was young and smart, eloquent, but did not like to read serious books. She often damaged and defiled saints' books due to negligence. Instead, she indulged in all kinds of stories about talented people and beauties, and their love affairs. Later, when I saw her desecrating precious originals while studying, her teacher at the time, Wei Wenyi, a famous minister at the time, angrily reprimanded her, but she cleverly retorted: "History and power are the words of troubled times, but talents and beauties are the books of prosperous times. We are now living in a peaceful and prosperous age, why do we disparage the books of the prosperous age and admire the words of the troubled times?"
Wei Wenyi argued with her for a long time, but did not defend her reasoning, and finally left angrily.
As a result, when she fell asleep that night, Zeyu dreamed of an immortal holding a scroll and coming by the moonlight. She asked her if she was willing to ride on the clouds and take a look at the thousand-year-old wind and moon. Zeyu went happily.
The immortal made a bamboo slip in his hand into a floating boat, suspended it on the clouds, and carried the jade to look at all the various conditions in the world. This roll of bamboo slips is like a small boat, drifting along with the fireworks in the world. At first, Zeyu really saw many stories of talented people and beautiful women, flowers in front of the moon and under the moon. But at some point, war suddenly broke out, and talented people and beautiful women were immediately scattered everywhere, either dying in the war or dying of famine. All living beings suffered, and Zeyu saw countless tragic stories.
Zeyu asked the immortal: "How could this be so?"
The immortal said: "Dreams are always fragile, and prosperous times are not permanent. Don't panic." But he saw that he pulled out a volume of "History of Nine Dynasties" out of thin air and dropped it to the world. The history book fell into the hands of a scholar. After familiarizing himself with the history book, the scholar traveled around the world and encountered many dangers of life and death. Finally, he helped a hero calm down the troubled times.
But although the war has ended, the land is still devastated. A famine can break a beautiful story, and talent and beauty are separated by life and death.
Zeyu asked the immortal again: "Maybe you can help them?"
The immortal said: "What's so difficult about this?"
But he waved his sleeves, and a "Book of Compassion for the Farmers" fell into the world. The words in the book were scattered in the air, but they got into the bodies of the farmers one after another. So farmers suddenly planted more wheat, dug canals, built waterwheels, and lush rice or wheat seedlings began to grow on the ground.
The devastated land has finally regained some of its prosperity. At this time, there are powerful people bullying the weak, the prefects are confused in judging cases, and the emperors enjoy wine and meat, sing and dance, and do not do their business. At this time, Zeyu didn't need to ask more questions. The immortal dropped the "Book of Saints", "Code of Warning", "Six Classics", etc. to the world. As the books fell and merged into people's hearts, the emperor corrected his virtues and the prefects clarified the laws. , the powerful were restrained in their words and deeds.
At this time, the singing and dancing of the prosperous age resumed, and there were talented people and beauties. In front of the flowers and under the moon, Zeyu seemed to have some enlightenment.
When she woke up, she suddenly burned all the romantic books. From then on, she studied the Six Classics, practiced the six arts, built a library, and her poetry style changed from romantic to majestic.
This is the story about "Ze Yu Destroys the Book" in Xia Guo's textbooks.
"Dream Bearer" was created by borrowing the background of "Ze Yu Destroyed the Book". Because of the wonderful plot, it was adapted into a script. This movie is called "Zai Meng", which is actually Zeyu's "rescue of history". It tells the story of Princess Zeyu who was entrusted by an immortal to travel by boat for seven thousand years, saving rare books that were about to be destroyed in history, and participating in the story of these rare books.
Yin Changning was deeply shocked when he was halfway through reading the script.
There is a classic mentioned in "Dream Bearer". Judging from its historical status, it is very similar to "Red Mansions". Of course, the content is completely different and the subject matter is also very different. The author of this story is another famous poet in history - his situation seems to be similar to that of Empress Li, but he is not the last monarch, but a prince who lost his country.
The status of this work in the Xia Kingdom is not inferior to that of Red Mansion. The most mysterious thing is that this is also an unfinished work.
When he was dying, he entrusted his last manuscript to Zeyu and said to her: "Although I am dying, this book is like me. The dissoluteness is me, the misery is me. When you read it in the future, it will be like seeing me."
Yin Changning was completely stunned at that moment.
