Chapter 1747： Unexpected and strange

The author of "Water Margin" is generally considered to be Shi Naian, but not all of the stories in "Water Margin" are Shi Naian's original.

In fact, before the "Water Margin" was written, there was already a record of the uprising of Song Jiang and others, and there were many editions.

In addition, there are also a large number of folk stories about Song Jiang and others, and there are many differences in the details of the stories circulating in different regions.

It was Shi Nai'an who collected these stories that have been circulated in different regions, selected, processed, and re-created, and then wrote this magnificent masterpiece "Water Margin".

Now, Li Fan is about to bring this work to this world.

...

Li Fan was still sorting out the manuscripts in the study. Two girls, Su Qing and Qin Yulin, came back, as did Qin Lie and Su Yilin.

Not only that, but Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng also came.

Obviously, they are all for Li Fan's upcoming new works.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" Qin Yulin called out loudly as soon as he returned to the yard.

Li Fan smiled helplessly, temporarily stored the manuscript, got up and walked out of the study.

When he went downstairs and walked to the courtyard, Qin Lie said, "I heard that your kid will start serializing new works three days later. It is about the theme of ancient uprisings. This kind of work is not easy to create, you kid. It only takes three days to conceive, is there enough time?"

Li Fan laughed and said, "It's been more than three days. I have roughly conceived it before. This time Director Wang and Director Liu of CCTV came to me, and it was just right."

Hearing what Li Fan said, Qin Lie and others nodded, and Su Yilin asked, "What is the name of the new work? Can you think about it?"

Li Fan said: "The name has been decided, called "Water Margin"."

""Water Margin"?" Qin Lie and others all showed puzzled expressions. It was obvious that they didn't understand the meaning of the title too much.

This is indeed a somewhat strange name.

Zheng Jie asked: "What is the interpretation of the word'Water Margin'?"

"Well," Li Fan said, "Probably, maybe it means being near the water and being in the wild."

There is no way, Li Fan can only use words such as "probably" and "maybe".

Because the exact meaning of the word "Water Margin" has been controversial in previous lives.

The word "Water Margin" comes from the phrase "The Book of Songs·Daya·Mian", "Gu Gong and his father, come to the court to walk the horse, rate the Western Water Margin, as for Qixia."

What this sentence says is that Gu Gong Tanfu, the ancestor of the Zhou tribe, that is, the grandfather of King Zhou Wen, drove the horse early in the morning and led the tribe along the bank of the western river to the foot of Qishan.

This was the beginning of the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, some people believe that Shi Nai'an used "Water Margin" as the title of the book to compare the uprising of Song Jiang and others with the rise of the Zhou Dynasty, in order to affirm the fighting spirit of the heroes of the uprising and resisting the rule.

But this argument has always been controversial.

In addition, there is another saying that the original name of "Water Margin" was "Jiang Hu Hao Ke Chuan".

At that time, Shi Nai'an completed the creation of the work "The Legend of Jianghu". Shi Naian was very satisfied with the plot in the book, but felt that the title of the book was not good.

Luo Guanzhong, a student of Shi Naian, suggested that the book be called "Water Margin". Shi Naian was very pleased when he heard it.

"Water Margin", which means the edge of the water, has the meaning of'being in the wild', and it is in line with the allusion in the "Book of Songs" that'Gu Gong Tanfu, came to the court to walk the horse, rate the Western Water Margin, and Qixia' is really wonderful .

As a result, Shi Nai'an officially renamed the "Jiang Hu Huo Bi Zhuan" "Water Margin".

Similarly, this statement is also controversial.

The true meaning of the word "Water Margin" may only become an unsolved mystery.

However, in this world, Qin Lie, Su Yilin, Zheng Jie, Liang Sheng and others all nodded after listening to Li Fan's explanation. They very much agreed with Li Fan's explanation.

Since it is the subject of an uprising, it has the meaning of "in the opposition", which is really appropriate.

Liang Shengdao: "You launched this work after "Journey to the West". The outside world will compare "Water Margin" with "Journey to the West", and "Journey to the West" is too classic, and your new work is not under pressure. ."

Li Fan smiled and said: "It's okay, "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West" are not the same type of work. It is difficult to define which of them is better? Who is worse? However, it is certain that "Water Margin" is also Like "Journey to the West", it will become one of the most classic works."

The two daughters Su Qing and Qin Yulin couldn't help but roll their eyes. They still don't know how to be humble.

Qin Lie smiled and scolded: "When will your kid learn to be humble? But that's okay. I want to see your "Water Margin". How can it become a classic like "Journey to the West"?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "Then, please let me log in to my Weibo on time at 10 o'clock in the morning after three days to see the update."

Knowing that this would be the result, Qin Lie and others had no plans to say anything about it.

...

Since the end of "Journey to the West", Li Fan hasn't released any new works for some time.

The outside world is looking forward to Li Fan's new works. When discussing Gu Yong's "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", they often mentioned Li Fan's new works.

Countless people are eager to see Li Fan's new works. They are eager to see classic works like "Journey to the West" again.

Many people are also speculating about what genre of Li Fan's new works will be? Or is it a work on what subject?

Because Li Fan has made it clear that he will not continue to release works of gods and demons for the time being.

Therefore, the genre and subject matter of Li Fan's new works have become the focus of external discussion.

Now, they finally know the answer.

The official CCTV platform announced a news to the outside world, mainly saying that the CCTV TV drama channel is going to shoot a TV drama based on the theme of the ancient uprising, and has reached a cooperation agreement with Li Fan.

Li Fan will create a special work on the theme of ancient uprisings for this purpose, and then CCTV TV drama channel will put it on the screen.

Li Fan's work is called "Water Margin" and will be officially serialized on his personal Weibo three days later.

After the official news from CCTV, Li Fan also announced the relevant news on his personal Weibo, inviting everyone to read it in three days.

One stone caused a thousand waves of waves, and the news spread across the entire network in a very short time.

Li Fan's new work turned out to be a collaboration with CCTV. This is very surprising to everyone, but it is not surprising that only authors such as Li Fan and Gu Yong are qualified to cooperate with CCTV.

The subject matter of the new work turned out to be about the ancient uprising, which is even more surprising to everyone, and feels a bit strange.

This is because it is difficult for everyone to be interested in watching works of this kind of subject matter.

It is not surprising that CCTV wants to shoot such a TV series.

CCTV, even if it is no longer popular themes, sometimes it needs to be filmed.

To everyone's surprise, Li Fan actually agreed to CCTV's request for cooperation.

You should know that most people have no interest in works about the uprising.

What's so good about the uprising?

It was surprising and strange that Li Fan wanted to create a work on this subject.
