During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, in the early days of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, the dispute between the Tang Dynasty and the desert broke out again... On this day, a team of people from the desert arrived in Ganzhou City, and the two sides started peace talks.
"I am the county master of Datang, whoever dares to insult the people of Datang is against me." "I will swear to guard Ganzhou City to the death, wherever the flag goes, my heart goes, blue and yellow springs, and I will never regret it. "My wish is very simple, it is to feed the orphans in my hometown, why is there war in this world?"...
The story of the Tang Dynasty, the lines of the people of the Tang Dynasty, at first glance, I thought it was a costume drama with the background of the Tang Dynasty; but after a closer look, why are these Tang Dynasty county masters and generals a group of different skin colors and different accents But "crooked nuts" in Tang-style costumes?
In the latest issue of "The Youth of Generation Z", young people from China, the United States, Germany, Russia, Malaysia and other countries dreamed of returning to the Tang Dynasty in this play called "Long Song Xing".
Catch the boat of script killing and immerse yourself in the long river of Chinese culture
The script killing is an imported product from the United Kingdom, but in China, not only is it not acclimatized, but it is like a duck in water.
In China, this game form first entered the public eye, in a reasoning reality show "Star Detective", which was launched in 2016.
In 2019, the number of national script killing halls soared from 2,400 to 12,000, and by the end of 2020, this number had exceeded 30,000.
The script is dead.
Then it was discovered that it could have a bigger stage besides entertainment.
The DM (Dungeon Maste, meaning game control field - reporter's note) Beiming, who was killed by the script, is both a restorer of cultural relics in the Forbidden City and the creator of the script killing. The script for "Long Song Xing" was written by him.
Beiming said: "I have repaired so many cultural relics, but few people pay attention to the stories behind the cultural relics, so I started to create game scripts. In fact, I don't want to do 'script killing', I just want to tell stories in an immersive way, Stories belonging to the past and present of Chinese culture are told to the world.”
In "Long Song Xing", Beiming set up the game link of "Flying Flower Order". This ancient Chinese literati game was popular because of the "Chinese Poetry Conference" and became a new game for teenagers and young people in this session. .
For Beiming, the script killing is like a boat, carrying young people from all over the world, riding the wind and waves all the way, allowing them to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the long river of Chinese culture in various interesting links and wonderful stories.
The dissemination of culture emphasizes moisturizing things in silence, which is exactly the same as the script killing that focuses on immersive experience; culture also affects each other in the communication between people, and script killing is an offline favorite of young people. social way.
Gong Weiliang, an associate professor at the Institute of Communication, Communication University of China, said that social networks cannot see feedback from others in a timely and accurate manner. It can provide them with a more explicit, multi-dimensional self-identity.
Aarthee, a Malaysian girl who claims to be a "social fear", is "horizontal and horizontal" in the script killing.
"Can you believe it, I'm actually afraid to communicate with strangers, but I still spend half a day throwing away my phone and playing script kills. Because in other people's lives, I see different possibilities for myself." Aarthee said, " Psychologically speaking, if you experience other people's stories more, you will want to become that kind of person. I like the stories of ancient heroes very much, and I would like to try to play them if I have the chance. Hall."
Museum script kill shows a vivid three-dimensional ancient China
Cui Haonan is a script killing writer and also runs a script killing hall.
He introduced that many emerging industries, such as script killing, are booming now, "Looking at the book alone, this time I played the ancient style immersion book, and there are other emotional books, mechanism books, comprehensive books... Script killing is also related to museums. Cooperation, let history 'live' and let China's colorful stories go out."
In recent years, the national tide has poured into all aspects of young people's lives. The game field often uses traditional cultural elements, historical character prototypes, and intangible cultural heritage skills practice.
There are also attempts to focus on entertainment and immersion in the field of cultural and blog, hoping to better approach young audiences through this.
Whether young people from China or foreign countries, going to a museum is one of the quickest and most intuitive ways to understand Chinese history.
And the "marriage" between the museum and the script killing has upgraded this method from a one-sided "watching" to an immersive "experience".
As a new category of museum cultural creativity, museum script killing has quietly grown in various museums, showing a vivid and three-dimensional ancient China.
Changsha Museum's "Dream of Famen", based on "Underground Palace Treasures - Special Exhibition of Tang Dynasty Palace Cultural Relics in Famen Temple", tells a story about a period of Tang Huichang (Tang Wuzong reign, 841-846), when the imperial court sent spies to search for it. The relic (the real relic of Sakyamuni was unearthed in the underground palace of Famen Temple - reporter's note); the story of "When the East Wind Comes from Luoyang" in Luoyang Museum, the story takes place in the Jin Dynasty, the heroic sons and daughters of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms , love, hate and hatred, vigorous, the golden seal of "Jin Guiyi Hu King", openwork dragon pattern agate bi, golden lion charms and other cultural relics have all become key clues in the killing of the script.
Pan Shouyong, a professor at Shanghai University who has been devoted to academic research in museology for a long time, once said: "As of the end of 2020, there are 5,788 registered museums nationwide. In terms of hardware conditions, I think at least half of them are qualified to do museum script killings."
Of course, it should also be noted that the most important thing about script killing is the quality of the script, which should not only resonate and immerse the players, but also tell the Chinese story well.
The museum script killing ultimately serves the museum's display and educational functions. If the audience just puts on ancient costumes and does not know the story behind it, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Classic texts have huge room for interpretation, telling the common destiny of mankind
Although it is an ancient story, Beiming feels that the script killing of ancient themes ultimately points to the present and the future.
"This game is like a window. When you open it, you can see history and the light of today's era. History and reality are in harmony." Beiming said, "For example, this time we played the Great Tang Dynasty. Historical background, known as the 'Zhenguan Zhizhi'. In the context of the Chinese, it has become a term of governance for political clarity, economic recovery, and cultural prosperity. Looking at the development of our current society and various industries, we will find that the more More prosperous and more confident.”
The story created by Beiming in the script also shows the character of the Chinese, "No matter the past, the present or the future, the Chinese hate war and advocate peace and unity. We hope to pursue common prosperity in a stable environment, and both Very hardworking and united.”
These things don't need to be told. After playing a game of script killing, foreign young people may realize it.
After playing a game of "Long Song Xing", a group of foreign young people saw ancient Chinese heroes.
Aarthee thought of a queen in ancient Malaysia who was recorded in history books, "she always dressed like a warrior and was a female role model"; the Russian guy Maxim thought of the "three warriors", "they love the people and resist foreign enemies"; Germany The little brother Adrian remembered the story of an exiled duke, "he was smart and brave, and survived on an island"...
What's interesting is that this group of young people from all over the world who got together because of the script actually knew Nezha, "He is not a good boy in the traditional sense, but he is very popular!" It seems that the topics of young people are always similar of.
There is no shortage of good stories in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and good stories can cross the boundaries of time and space.
Classical texts have a huge space for interpretation and tell the common destiny of mankind.
For example, "Nezha" talks about rebellion, "My life is up to me" is still the voice of today's young people; "White Snake" discusses love, friendship, torture, trust, and pursuit.
These "new stories" have all been successful on the big screen, and have been recognized by young Chinese people who were not "cold" by the "old stories".
In fact, to a certain extent, the Internet has flattened the world. Telling Chinese stories to foreign young people also requires good stories and good methods—script killing, you might as well try.
