Recently, the news of 16 Shanghai aunties with an average age of 62 in Hengdian paid for the remake of " Zhen Huan Biography " went viral. For other dramas, the comments may come with the phrase "returned to popularity after many years" - but "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is an exception - the debut is the peak, and the peak after the peak. It has been 11 years since the premiere in November 2011. It has been replayed and replayed by the audience, and several layers of pulp have come out.
Shanghai auntie entertaining herself
After the concept of IP became popular, it is not uncommon for TV dramas to have big IPs, and they are often popular for a year and a half, but they have been prosperous for ten years. There are only a few Chinese TV series in the past few decades, and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is one of them. When
first aired 11 years ago, there were only some golden sentences that came out of the circle, such as "I can't do it by a concubine" and "Bitch is hypocritical"; after the first round of broadcast, the second creation of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" began to grow wildly year by year. ——There are those who make expression packs, some who play homophonic stalks, some who create comics and , who have magical dubbing, who cut short videos of fans, and who have developed into a werewolf killing small theater... Most of them are "microscopes". Watching the drama", "Zhen Jiao" who has watched more than ten times.
And that's not all. The breadth of "Zhen Xue" lies in the fact that there are almost no social stalks that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" cannot catch. Whenever there is a hot search for something, Zhen scholars can extract appropriate materials from this treasure trove to respond. It can be said that they are full of stalks. For example, a certain rich lady arranged for her maid to fill the house with the master to compete with her concubine, and the comment immediately said: "Isn't this just how Hua Fei gave Songzhi to the emperor?"
The life scene of ordinary people, The down-to-earth "Zhen Huan Biography" lines can also be seamlessly connected - for those who hate, you can use " Cuiguo to smash TA's mouth"; for those who admire, you can say "Xiao Xie has a little kung fu" ; to comfort others, but to say "your blessing is still to come". Pepsi and thousands of things, all have Zhen Yan to be a universal link.
Some netizens have replaced the director Zheng Xiaolong : I beg you to let go of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and watch some other dramas? Don't say
, other dramas really don't have this function.
Why "The Legend of Zhen Huan" can become the king of pulp? Intensive farming must be one of the reasons. Take the Shanghai auntie cos' "Blood Recognition" drama as an example, this scene only took two days to shoot. There are too many previous analyses in this regard, so I won't go into details. But Zheng Xiaolong told a story that has left a deep impression on him - he said that he found a tour guide before filming for 120 yuan a day, and dragged him around the Forbidden City. What was the main thing to see? Look at the distance between the East Palace and the West Palace , see how far the Mental Cultivation Hall is from the emperor's early court, and see where the Royal Garden is. Knowing the time and space orientation is very important for dealing with the relationship between characters later.
In fact, when Zheng Xiaolong directed "The Legend of Zhen Huan", he was regarded as "degenerate" by his peers. Because the proportion of ancient costume palace fighting dramas was as high as 30%, and Zheng Xiaolong, as the director of Beijing TV Art Center , is a regular army of 800, you must know that the center's previous productions were "Four Generations Together", " Desires ", "" For a popular product such as Story in the editorial department, the director suddenly went to shoot a palace fighting drama, which was obviously considered to be a non-starter.
Actually, I didn't watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan" when it was aired in the first round. At first, I disliked its length - 76 episodes. So I laterI took a shortcut and watched the 6-episode version of the American drama. I watched the whole drama for 540 minutes overnight, thinking that the moisture was removed and the essence was preserved.
It wasn't until later that I was silent at home and had time, and finally finished 76 episodes from beginning to end, only to realize that the American TV version is just an outline, a synopsis, a bare bone, and a real drama, all of which are fully laid out in 76 episodes, a dense palace After Dou You Fang sang, I came on stage, and there was hardly a blank episode. Seeing this kind of splendid narrative and luxuriantly intertwined characters, I only understood Zheng Xiaolong's sentence: "After editing the 76 episodes, I found that there is nothing left to cut" - not bragging. When
interviewed Zheng Xiaolong that year, he said that his biggest expectation for the play was to convey the values of "anti-imperialist and anti-feudal": "I want everyone to see that the royal marriage system is for hereditary needs, in order to keep the incense forever, children Stretching, very backward. And the emperor is also a victim of this system. The Forbidden City is peaceful, the sun is shining, the concubines are united and friendly? That is impossible. Let the audience feel that monogamy is the progress of society. Don't have dignity - if everyone wants to be a concubine after watching the movie, it's not good!"
I didn't believe in Gongdou drama "anti-imperialist and anti-ban", because they often persuaded a hundred people to satirize Let the audience indulge in intimidation and intrigue. But when I saw that the male lead's casting was Chen Jianbin , I started to believe it. The emperor in the original book is very handsome, the dynasty is not Qing Dynasty , Huan Huan is ready to upgrade and fight monsters as soon as he enters the palace, busy winning the emperor's heart. But today's "big orange" people have never been fooled by illusions for a minute - it is impossible for the concubine and the emperor to truly love each other, and Zuo is just the phrase "power is the best aphrodisiac". As soon as Big Orange appeared, the tone of anti-imperialist and anti-blockade was naturally settled.
Let's look at Mr. Chen's 's interpretation of the emperor, who is not angry and proud. If there is one expression that runs through, it must be "impatient". Mr. Chen is the pinnacle of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" becoming a drama rather than an unofficial history. Even if the story is fictitious, it is essentially true.
and Zhen Huan, starting from " Wan Chang in ", all the way to "Guan nobleman", " Wan concubine ", "Xifei", "Xiguifei" until "The Queen Mother", you said that this is a Mary Sue It's really not a female lead role. However, judging from the changes made to the novel by the TV series, Zhen Huan's character has changed from a big heroine to an example of "fighting with a dragon for too long and becoming a dragon herself". The drama uses , Niu Hulu, Zhen Huan, and to finally rebel, not which emperor, but the feudal dynasty where the emperor can only speak his mind.
I think this is also why, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Jinzhi Desire" finally formed a "South Jinzhi Bei Zhen Huan" pattern - among many palace fighting dramas, only these two are really "anti-imperialist and anti-anti-imperialist". sealed".
It has been almost 20 years since the last time I watched "Desire of the Golden Branch", I was so scared that I quickly reviewed it. After reviewing it, I found that the palace fight in "Golden Branch" is not fierce. After a few rounds, the protagonists will be defeated to death. On the contrary, everyone entered the palace with their own wishes and tasks, and finally got the completely opposite ending, which is embarrassing.
For example, Yu Ying played by Gigi Lai is a scheming girl. She wants to fight for face and face in front of her mistress for her shy mother. As a result, the scheming fails and is put into the cold palace, falling in love with the one she shouldn't love Lord Sun, embracing each other and dying (may also be linked to the nine clans).
For example, Charmaine Sheh, played Er Chun, the character is kind and innocent, the three sisters entered the palace to be the contacts of the adoptive father, thinking of helping the great cause in the future, who knows that as soon as they enter the palace, the sisters will kill one-third Two, just got pregnant with the dragon seed and even the adoptive father died, all the goals in life were lost, and finally escaped from the palace with the ball, the only real dragon seed in the audience flew into the homes of ordinary people.
Another example is An Qian, played by Zhang Keyi, who is assumed to be a ten-year loyal servant, and her wish is to return to the field early to share the joy of family with her grandmother, but she kills her because of this. slept the emperor for revenge, as a result, he died before his revenge.
Let's take a look at Deng Cuiwen and 's Rufei, a ruthless role in the palace fight, right? As a result, both the son and the daughter were killed by the queen. In this drama
, you can't see the common "goal-struggle-achieve goal" routine in other TV dramas at all. It always escapes and cuts off. If there is something that "Desire of the Golden Branch" wants to tell us, it must be the sentence in "A Dream of Red Mansions", the white land is really clean. In a lonely palace, a small wish is like a weak candle. I advise you not to think about it. Once it is ignited, it is like a basin of cold water. Everyone entered the palace with the love and lust of fame, but in the end they all entered into a loneliness, which took Qingqing's life.
If you say that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a lively and lively palace fight after another, then "Golden Branches and Evil" means that the snow is falling one after another, and it is still full after brushing. No matter whether it is lively or deserted, there will be no real winner in the Forbidden City in the end.
