Last night, "Menghualu" ushered in the finale of the members. The show has been hotly debated since its broadcast. The hero and heroine have their own traffic, and the costumes are exquisite. The cultural knowledge points of the Song Dynasty are throughout, and popular science is online. All these are eye-catching. Bright.
But there are also a lot of controversies. Among them, compared to Guan Hanqing's original work "Saving the Wind and Dust", the story has turned into "the official Cinderella is in trouble, and the prince meets a prince on the way to work hard." Cool text.
Although Shuangwen Logic is prone to big hits, it should also be alert to the narrowing and curing of film and television adaptations.
"Meng Hua Lu" is adapted from Guan Hanqing's play "Save the Wind and Dust", but the two are judged on the top of each other.
In "Saving the Wind and Dust", Zhao Pan'er, who was born in a low-level singing prostitute, has a good sister Song Yinzhang. Song Yinzhang is deeply loved by the playboy Zhou She and the unhappy scholar An Xiushi. After Song Yinzhang chooses to marry Zhou She, she is often subjected to domestic violence. Cleverly tricked Zhou She into taking the bait to write a divorce letter, and made Zhou She be punished.
Guan Hanqing's Zhao Pan'er is well-informed and has the wisdom to save people.
In "Menghualu", Zhao Paner was charged as a kabuki because his father was convicted, and he broke away from the humble family early to become self-reliant.
Encountering a fainted official in court, Song Yinzhang was rescued by the power of the father of the second-generation male protagonist.
Zhao Pan'er is in distress, ill and evil, brave and poignant, witty and sophisticated. Such female characters full of dramatic conflicts are often adapted by art, including local dramas such as Yue opera and tin opera, as well as film and television dramas.
However, the story of Guan Hanqing's original work is only an introduction to "Meng Hualu", and the adaptation part occupies an absolute amount of space.
According to the synopsis of "Meng Hua Lu", "the hero and heroine gradually develop their feelings through encounters and mutual assistance. At the same time, they describe three women with low identities, after their respective marriage and love failures, join hands to make the small teahouse step by step. Run into a big restaurant", it seems, this is a very inspirational story of ordinary people struggling to start a business.
However, there are many typical settings of traditional ancient puppet dramas and current love dramas in the play, and at the same time, it also contains a lot of contemporary issues, such as young women's brave exploration of the possibility of life, mutual assistance between women, etc. Wait.
From the perspective of personality, Gu Qianfan of "Meng Hualu" is the same as the male protagonists in most ancient idol dramas. Zhao Paner fought monsters and upgraded all the way.
Therefore, under the guise of "Saving the Wind and Dust", "Meng Hua Lu" actually tells the idol story of the prince and Cinderella, which sparses the story of the bottom people's self-struggle.
In recent years, audiences have often lamented that there are fewer and fewer genuine ordinary people in domestic dramas, including costume dramas.
In ancient costume dramas, there are many princesses, celebrities and famous families, and the protagonists’ identities are also introverted. They are either princes or nobles, or princesses. At worst, they are a generational businessman, and there are very few ordinary people who are down-to-earth.
For example, in last year's "Dark Horse" "The Royal Gift of Little Treasures", the heroine was originally a very down-to-earth six-door Xiaochaikuai and Xiaozuo. In the end, the secret of her life was revealed and she became the daughter of the former first assistant and deputy Jiedushi. Daughter, all the arguments of acquired hard work are reverted to the theory of origin and blood, which is exactly the same as "Menghualu".
Some scholars have conducted interviews and analyzed that TV dramas and variety shows that depict a rich life are always popular, because for many ordinary people, these shows are the adjustment of daily life, and those dreamy stories that seem to be far away have created Another world allows the general public who are struggling in reality to temporarily withdraw and gain "a constant sense of stability".
As a result, the producers of the series have been keenly aware of the "traffic password" - either rich or expensive idol drama characters, middle-class luxury competitions, ordinary office workers living on the flat floor, women who seem to be self-reliant and self-reliant Characters..."Shining" becomes the absolute protagonist, and so does the costume drama.
However, if you count down the classic TV dramas in the past, there are many bright and real ordinary people, such as Bao Zheng, a poor scholar in "Youth Bao Qingtian", who has no money to enter the academy, and relies on odd jobs to avoid a little tuition and miscellaneous fees. , Aunt Bao went to the street to sell late-night snacks to earn money, full of the real atmosphere of market life; "The Song Dynasty" is full of stories of the poor, coarse cloth and sackcloth, simple and full of life; "Wulin Biography" is also operating a restaurant The story, the details of life are real and small, and people are talking about it so far.
The hit "Meng Hualu" is obviously higher than the general level of domestic ancient puppet dramas in terms of production and cultural connotation.
However, popular popular dramas also have their social responsibilities. At present, the adaptation system of Chinese ancient puppet dramas is in the process of continuous improvement. It is necessary to create "real" works that conform to modern aesthetics and modern values, and lead new adaptations of film and television dramas. At the same time as the direction, we should also be alert to the narrow and solidified film and television routine.
