Chapter 973： "Peony Pavilion"

Xiao Jianghu Studio is downstairs.

Tang Qiuyun, director of the Art Creation Department of the Southern Theater, and Yuan Hong, assistant, have just come out of Xiaojianghu Studio.

Yuan Hong said excitedly: "Director, Gu Yong really did not reject us, just don't know what kind of story Gu Yong will create for us? It is really exciting to think about it."

Tang Qiuyun was also in a good mood and said, "It's just a pity that we missed seeing Mr. Gu Yong and couldn't thank him personally. He was a great help this time. As for what kind of story he would create? It's hard to say. , However, judging from the first two movies, this time is very likely to be a tragedy."

Gu Yong did not refuse, let Tang Qiuyun breathe a long sigh of relief, full of gratitude to Gu Yong in his heart.

His face was also full of smiles at this time, but in this smile, there was still a hint of bitterness hidden.

Yuan Hong didn't notice the bitterness in the director's smile, and then said: "No matter how tragedy is, tragedy is sometimes easier to become a classic. Although audiences don't like tragedy, they always want to watch it."

Tang Qiuyun said, "That said, but now there are two tragedies. If the drama we give us can end in a comedy, the effect may be better. Of course, I just hope that if it is still a tragic ending, there will be no What, as long as it is Gu Yong's work."

Yuan Hong nodded and said, "What the director said is that, besides, Mr. Gu Yong said that he will send the work to us tomorrow. Is this too hasty?"

Tang Qiuyun shook his head and said, "No, whether a work is good or not cannot be simply measured by the time of creation. Some people can create classic works in a very short period of time. Some people spend a lot of time creating them. His works are not always satisfactory. Gu Yong clearly belongs to the former."

Yuan Hong nodded and said: "This way, it is really exciting!"

Tang Qiuyun smiled and said, "I am also looking forward to it."

Leaving from Zheng Jie's fate, Li Fan didn't make any other delays, but went straight back home.

The big carp, whose weight broke the record, was raised by Zheng Jie in a small pool next to the hut, ready to take care of it, to see if it can continue to grow up.

It's for sure to continue to grow up, but how old will it grow in the end? Now it is unknown.

Li Fan is also a little curious, how big can it grow in the end?

When he returned home, Li Fan began to wonder in his heart, which one should he choose for the work he promised to the Southern Theater?

First of all, it must be a classic work. In this way, it will make sense for Li Fan to bring it to this world.

Moreover, it is not inferior to "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and "Dou E's Injustice". Otherwise, Li Fanke would have smashed his own sign.

In addition, the first two works all ended in tragedy, although at the end of Liang Zhu, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai doubled the butterflies, romantic and lingering.

However, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai died after all, and their love was not fully cultivated during their lives, and their ending should be regarded as a tragedy.

The two consecutive works have tragic endings, and Li Fan pondered that this time, it should come to a comic ending.

Although the tragic ending is easy to become a classic, it is not always the case that the tragedy is not.

The audience "says" twice in a row, which should also make the audience happy.

The comedy ending can also become a classic.

So, which one is better to use?

Li Fan first thought of "The Story of the West Chamber", the work of Wang Shifu, a famous opera artist in the Yuan Dynasty.

The beauty of simplicity and the pursuit of freedom are everywhere in the play.

The whole drama is beautiful and beautiful, full of poetic artistic conception. It is a masterpiece of realism in previous classical dramas, and it has a great influence on the creation of novels and dramas with love as the theme.

One of the sentences, "May all lovers in the world be married together", has become the beautiful vision of countless boys and girls for love, which has a far-reaching impact.

Then, Li Fan thought of "The Peony Pavilion", the representative work of Tang Xianzu, the famous playwright of the Ming Dynasty. The first dream in the "Four Dreams of Linchuan" is also the most influential and the most accomplished dream.

It is also the most proud work of Tang Xianzu himself. He once said, "I have four dreams in my life, and the only thing I am proud of is "Peony""

"The Peony Pavilion" is a masterpiece full of romanticism, which has a great influence on later generations.

The main point is that there is a poor scholar Liu Mengmei who dreamed of a beautiful woman standing under a plum tree in a garden, saying that she was married to him and that she has always missed her since then.

The daughter of Nan'an Prefect Du Bao's daughter was named Liniang, and she was so beautiful.

One day, after Du Liniang came back from the garden, in a drowsy dream, she saw a scholar holding a half-branched weeping willow coming to court, and the two had a tryst by the peony pavilion.

Du Liniang missed the scholar in her dream, she was depressed and thin, and could not afford to be ill until she died.

When she was dying, she asked her mother to bury her under the plum tree in the garden, and asked the maid Chunxiang to hide her self-portrait under the rocks of Taihu Lake.

His father Du Bao built a "Meihua Temple" in the place where Du Liniang was buried.

Three years later, Liu Mengmei went to Beijing to take the test. He found Du Liniang's portrait under the Taihu Rock in the Meihua Temple and found that Du Liniang was the beautiful woman he had seen in his dream.

Du Liniang went to the back garden and found that Liu Mengmei was the scholar in her dream. After being pleasantly surprised, she had another tryst with Liu Mengmei.

The next day, Liu Mengmei dug the tomb and opened the coffin. Du Liniang unexpectedly came back to life. They married and went to Lin'an together.

Chen Zuiliang, Du Liniang's teacher, saw that Du Liniang's tomb had been excavated, so he reported the crime of Liu Mengmei's tomb robbery.

After Liu Mengmei took the test in Lin'an, she was imprisoned by Du Liniang's father, Du Bao.

After the list was released, Liu Mengmei took the test and became the current champion.

Du Bao had to let Liu Mengmei come out, but still refused to admit her daughter's marriage and forced her to divorce.

Later, the dispute was brought to the front of the emperor, and the emperor sighed with emotion. Thus, Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei finally got married.

From life to death, and then from death to life, it is very romantic. Such opera works have never appeared in this world.

When Li Fan's thoughts moved, it was it, "The Peony Pavilion."

Compared with the realistic "West Chamber", this time he decided to choose the romantic "Peony Pavilion" first.

He believes that such a drama full of romanticism will definitely be popular in this world.

It's just that "The Peony Pavilion" is very long. It is a long play. This time, the work for the Southern Theater should not be too long.

Li Fan decided to select one of the passages to let the audience in this world enjoy it first.

In the future, if there is a chance, it will not be too late to launch the whole show.

After deciding to use "Peony Pavilion", Li Fan didn't hesitate anymore and prepared to create a selected section while it was hot.

The original work of "The Peony Pavilion" was a drama work, and Li Fan also decided to adapt it into a novel work, and then the Southern Theater would adapt it into a drama.

With the original work as a reference, it is easy to adapt it into a novel.

Of course, this adaptation of Li Fan is an intercepted version of "The Peony Pavilion."
