reported on December 3 that although is the same as many ancient costume dramas nowadays, it is a sudden file and cold start, but on the day of its premiere, "Celebrating More Than Years" became a hot topic on Weibo, Zhihu, Hupu, Douban and other major forums. Discussion topic. Whether it’s the big IP of the cat's original work, old drama bones such as Chen Daoming and Wu Gang, or hot meat like Zhang Ruoyun , Xiao Zhan, or beauty like Li Qin, Song Yi, Xin Zhilei, Li Xiaoran, filmed by Tencent The "Qing Yu Nian" jointly produced by Ye and Xinli TV does have enough reasons not to be popular.

Since the news of "Celebrating More Years" came out, the outside world defined it as a sophisticated, heavy and somber "general drama." The posters and trailers released earlier have deepened this impression. And what we saw-is actually a cool drama with a lot of laughs? Fan Xian, the protagonist of
, can’t stop his brains and literary stalks, brings long-lost laughter and new spectacle experience to the drama market. It is naturally cool to chase dramas with no barriers at first sight, but the non-original party like Hard Candy Jun is curious: the male frequency "masterpiece" "Qing Yu Nian" turned out to be such a "shuangwen"?
Obviously, screenwriter Wang Juan added more relaxing elements to the original humorous brushwork in the adaptation. But what is more noteworthy is that, under the "enlightenment" core of the original work and the film's multi-perspective interpretation of the novel, "Qing Yu Nian" is by no means a flood of "cool drama".
Fan Xian always looks for the weak connection between "self" and "world" like duckweed in the rain. On top of the fullness of the worldly character, he went to experience and experience to build from scratch. Therefore, in the seemingly nonsensical and funny plot, we can better appreciate the profoundness between "idealism and pragmatic impulse".
has a popular and commercial appearance, and the inside conveys feelings, ideals and even values. The easy low entry barrier + deep emotional experience, the male TV drama really found the way this time.
Two roads of ideal
youthful spirit, wavering Fang Qiu, the introduction of "Celebrating Yu Nian" is very interesting. Zhang Qing, a literary history student, used modern concepts to analyze ancient literature's papers, which was not recognized by Professor Ye. So he wrote a novel, borrowing Fan Xian's story to explain his argument.
In such a two-tier structure, Fan Xian not only has a self-concept, but is also influenced by Zhang Qing to a certain extent. He believes that everyone is equal, so he can't get used to domineering butlers; he has justice and justice, so he wants to pull Teng Zijing in desperation; he opposes the inferiority of the father and the son, so he asks the father of the wrong brother to apologize to the other party. The more difference
, the more witty. Contrast everywhere, full of tension. "Qing Yu Nian" narrates ancient stories from the perspective of modern youth: it not only forms a time-space contrast between reality and fiction, but also produces a relative collision of ideas between ancient and modern.
contrasts time and space, creating endless brain holes and literary stalks, which greatly extends the viewability of the series. For example, Fan Ruoruo learned "renewal" and "romance" from Fan Xian. When Fan Xian ridiculed her as an "IQ basin," Fan Ruoruo asked, "What is IQ and what is a basin?"
Fan Xian's helplessness lies in the modern vocabulary of "chicken and duck", and his loveliness lies in his willingness to let ancient people Get in touch with more advanced ideas. Like the ancients, he can complain about the depreciated "Dream of Red Mansions", saying that "you can't have talents without learning, nor can you succeed in learning". You can also be like a modern person, working with your father and aunt to dedicate a large-scale performance to your relatives to make your younger brother doubt life.
While the collision of ideas is a laugh at the shallow level, it is the philosophical thinking of human nature and social systems at the deep level. It is as small as the questioning that the subordinates are willing to be enslaved, and as large as the reflection on the justice of the whole society and the feudal imperial power. Ye Qingmei's words staying at the gate of the Inspection and Examination Yuan were a declaration of "enlightenment" for the civilized wisdom. And Fan Xian’s consciousness is the transformation of modern youthThe courage to live.
"I hope that the law of national celebration will be established for the life of the people, not tolerated by nobility, not deprived by poverty, without injustice, without imposing crimes, to obey the law like a sword, to break the sprites, to worship, and not to seek gods." At the moment when Fan Xian looked at the people on the street, time and space stagnated: He finally understood his mother's grand vow and difficult dream.
But Ye Qingmei and Fan Xian, who also have modern thinking, have different transformation concepts. This distinction of personality not only makes the character lively, but also makes the ideas conveyed deep.
The idealized Ye Qingmei, with the arrogance of a big man, she wants to change the world by herself. I am born with endless hopes and hope to fill the sea and move mountains. Fan Xian, who is secularized, has the universality of petty citizens. He is good at using the wisdom of "Wei Xiaobao" to protect himself, but in the end he chose the righteousness of "Chen Jinnan" to seek justice for the world.
From Ye Qingmei to Fan Xian, do we see the ultimate compromise of idealism, or the inner persistence of the popular guest? And this is the choice every modern youth is facing.
There are various forms of sentient beings, and the same is true of ancient and modern
If "A Dream of Red Mansions" is an encyclopedia of ancient society, then "Qing Yu Nian" is an ideal picture book for modern youth. From Fan Xian to the creation of various characters, the seemingly relaxed plot answers the serious proposition of "How should life be spent?"
Lin Wan'er, who is "Miss Body and Maid", has the courage to break the feudal marriage under her fragile appearance. She said: "If I'm not a beloved, I would rather die than marry"; even if I decide to retreat, I choose to speak out in front of the other person's eyes.
Teng Zijing offended the rich and powerful because of injustice, but he was frustrated but did not attack the old couple who repayed their morals with grievances. Fan Xian penetrated Teng Zijing's heart, "You said you were cold, but you didn't. That's the reason I helped you." Fan Sizhe, who looked dull, was discerned by Fan Xian's arithmetic talent and told his father. , The younger brother’s fortune was subconsciously wanting to get close to Fan Jianhu’s career. The typical characters of
condensed the typical meaning: Fan Xian is the last trace of the idealist's background, and his cowardice and resistance make people empathize;
Ye Qingmei is a "metic expression" of women's independence and participation in social transformation. Self-reliance; Qing emperor
embodies the sorrow of the "institutional" feudal imperial power. With the advancement of the plot, the spiritual "death" of Emperor Qing is itself the "judgment" of modern consciousness to the backward system.
In addition, the five bamboos are cold and hot inside, Chen Pingping's guardianship of Ye Qingmei, and Yan Bingyun's family and country are all conveying the beauty of humanity in adversity, allowing the audience to see themselves in the mirror. From the emperor courtiers to the traffickers and pawns, the cross-sectional character system of "Qing Yu Nian" is just like a microscope for social observation. Different from reality, it also includes all living beings.
and the top cast that surprises the audience, the "old, middle-aged and young pyramid" type of actors make up the final presentation as full of reality as the role setting.
Chen Daoming came out of the mountain to play the emperor again, and while eating wontons, he could ask the officials to kneel down; Wu Gang Yu Rongguang joined forces; Zhang Ruoyun, Li Qin and other powerful niche flowers gathered together, and also included new top-class zodiac wars, which further amplified the drama tension .

"fine division" without separation, is also the difference advantage of "Qing Yu Nian". The lines that match the plot blend the ancient and modern. The writing is all ancient, and the white is hilarious; the plot uses Fan Xian as the open line and Ye Qingmei as the dark line, showing the Qing Dynasty's landscape paintings and social people's livelihood, which traverses Northern Qi and Southern Chu , With epic grandeur.
is just like Bakhtin’s exposition of "the basic starting point of creative imagination", "it is by no means an abstract landscape that penetrates the emotions of the observer, but a corner of human history, a historical time condensed in space." Therefore, "Celebrating More Than Years"" The two-layer structure of natural geographic space + humanistic geographic space has undoubtedly created a feeling of home and hometown for us.
Fan Xian copied excellent classical literature, in the final analysis only to find his spiritual homeland. This is why seeing women holding their children selling "Dream of Red Mansions" makes people feel "weirdly cordial", and when I heard that Guo Baokun banned the bookThe reason for "out of anger". "Celebrating More Than Years" has the blood of traditional civilization, which is something we can't lose in our bones.
I
"Celebrating Yu Nian" puts more emphasis on group portraits. Outside of the male growth line, the all-star lineup of costumes of men and women in ancient costumes is like a genre painting of the times, and there is always one to grab your heart.
Generally speaking, standard Internet novels are single-line narratives around the protagonist. The addition of multi-perspective narrative in the film and television adaptation will undoubtedly increase the winning side of diversified adaptation to the needs of the audience. The collision of modern thinking and ancient system in "Celebrating More Than Years" breaks the single linearity of the core. The audience not only relishes the burden of wit, but also consciously agrees with the protagonist's value choices and difficult choices.

Two male frequency dramas have risen in a row. In addition to content-level route correction, changes in the development process cannot be ignored. Different from the previous model that a large number of male TV dramas were developed by film and television companies to buy out the copyright of novels, "Qing Yu Nian" is a typical IP "going home". The copyright of
"Celebrating More Than Years" was sold to Deep Blue Film and Television and China Entertainment Times in the early years. Tencent Pictures’ copyright for "Qing Yu Nian" took effect from March 2018, but in 2017 Tencent Pictures communicated with the former copyright owner for joint development; with the addition of its strategic partner Xinli, it became a joint contractor. Coupled with the fact that Wenwen is the source of the novel IP, we now have the "Celebrating the New Year" jointly produced by Tencent Pictures, Xinli TV, Deep Blue Film, China Reading Group, China Entertainment Times, and Hainan Radio and Television.
We don’t say who is more ingenious. Whether for Tencent Pictures, Xinli, or Reading, the big IP in their hands is a long-term business, which is enough to make them more conscientious in filming and subsequent development for us.
Aiming at "Celebrating More Than Years", Tencent Pictures started film adaptation and game development at the same time. At present, the mobile game of the same name "Qing Yu Nian" has opened an appointment simultaneously, which is different from the simple authorization model in the early years. This time, everything from the drama game linkage to the character design has been opened. For a standard film and television company, the production of the drama itself is the realization link. As for Tencent Pictures, which "does not make films in isolation," film and television are not just for "circling fans", but also hope to add value to IP user emotions in the form of drama series; and the longer industry chain also allows it to be more advanced in the early stage. Carrying out a complete plan with heart-after all, it is not a one-shot deal. This can be seen as a practice of Tencent Pictures based on Tencent's new cultural and creative ecology, and in various forms to increase the emotional and commercial value of IP fans. How is
clearly a "birth of a good story", and finally let Hard Candy be attributed to "commercial value" this "vulgarity". It seems that even if he wears his soul, Lord Hard Candy can only be Fan Xian, and he can't be regarded as a generation goddess Ye Qingmei. But anyway, chasing the drama together is the last word!
