825. The Drama (Part 1)
Jing Wen created a drama in order to enrich the spiritual and civilized life of the people, so he "invented" this drama. The literary and artistic work of the Tang Dynasty was for those nobles to see, because only they were educated could understand these things. For ordinary people, their cultural level was relatively low and they could not deeply understand these elegant arts. Therefore, in order to make ordinary people understand this celebration and become more down-to-earth, Jing Wen created this drama in order to make ordinary people understand this celebration.
Jing Wen also knew that drama originated from the West, but in this era there was not much civilization in the West, so it was invented by Jing Wen. The drama used ordinary dialogues, without any profound connotations, and had no lyrics and singing styles, and had no complex skills. Moreover, many dramas were taken from ordinary people and could understand them. Therefore, dramas were actually a drama that shared by elegant and vulgarity. Both elegant people and ordinary people could understand them, rather than the elegant dramas that ordinary people could not understand at all.
"Now, please see how a country was established by Lord Jing Wen," said the host.
Next, the dramas compiled by Jing Wen began to be staged. This story mainly tells the story summary of the Tang Dynasty from its founding to the present. The whole story is about one hour, that is, two hours. Of course, in order to avoid trouble, there is no "shot" of the current Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and Li Shimin appearing. As for the Xuanwu Gate Incident, they were all cut out. Anyway, it is about the story of the Tang Dynasty from its founding to its purge of the world. The whole story is in vernacular, not like using classical Chinese, and specifically selecting people who ordinary people cannot understand.
"Okay!" "Okay!" "So it turns out that my business in Tang Dynasty is so difficult, it is indeed extraordinary!" "The emperor is so difficult! It is indeed not easy for the sake of my people!"...
Those entrusted people began to follow the plan and took the initiative to make excuses. However, the people were very good at such very "down-to-earth" things. They couldn't understand the songs and dances before, but now they are very familiar with this drama. There is no classical Chinese that has lost its bags, and they are all very familiar plain language that ordinary people can understand. And these things are also acceptable to the people.
"Jings handsome, it looks pretty good!" said Ma Zhou.
"No, can I write and direct things that I have bad written and directed?" Jing Wen said.
Ma Zhou continued to ask: "Are all the things in it true? Is the emperor so 'great'?"
Ma Zhou obviously didn't believe it. As a politician, who would believe in these things? So he immediately thought that Jing Wen's drama was bragging.
"Nonsense, my name is half true and half false. You have been an official for so many years, don't you still know how to appease the people? Ordinary people just want to have fun. Who will really take into account the profound meaning? We just need to do it and praise it hard. Look, isn't this kind of drama promotion much better than those classical Chinese and classical Chinese? Look, do the people like this, or do you like those you can go to those books?"
Ma Zhou Hou could see that the people prefer this kind of drama because they could understand it. Jing Wen came to be the director in person to know that many people in later generations said that they should protect and inherit the traditional culture, but the fact is that this situation is too difficult. Although education was popularized in later generations, most people did not understand elegant literary works. Therefore, Peking Opera and various operas gradually disappeared. These ancient dramas such as Peking Opera are for those who have reached a certain level of spiritual realm. Few ordinary people can understand it, but in fact, those things are not very down-to-earth. Any culture. If you cannot make your own changes based on the characteristics of the times, it will disappear in history.
Buddhism came to the Central Plains and improved it with the Confucian and Taoism of the Central Plains, which led to the gradual development of Buddhism. If it never changes with down-to-earth, it is destined to die. Now the literature and art of the court are actually not suitable for the people to see. Therefore, even if it is given to the people, it will not play a role in publicity. Only down-to-earth is the core of literature and art. After all, what the grassroots people like are truly good things. If you are separated from the masses, you are destined to fail.
"Ma Zhou, after you read these dramas, I think the people in Mengzhou will be more loyal to me, the Tang Dynasty. After all, they can feel that it is not easy for us to start a business in the Tang Dynasty. The promotion of this down-to-earth literary and artistic work is more effective than you usually brag a hundred times. Because whoever will listen to your propaganda, it is better to use this method to subtly tell the people, and this effect is better. People are rebellious. If you forcefully instill things in them, their ability to absorb is very limited. It is like eating, you don't like Dong.
There must be not much food in the West! If they like it, it will be twice the result with half the effort. You see, they like these dramas, and I even have to make sketches in the future, such as sounds and slogans, which is the most down-to-earth thing. You so-called cultural people who have read books, don’t think that ordinary people are behind. They are actually the people who created the civilization of this world. As long as they grasp their hearts, they can become the masters of the world. If they lose their hearts, then any regime is probably a sourceless water!" Jing Wen said.
Although officials in ancient times brag about the world that won the hearts of the people, not many people actually paid attention to it. However, Jing Wen knew deeply that the role of propaganda was infinite. Didn’t a party in later generations rely on powerful propaganda machines and successfully “spoofed” the people to their side? It was also through powerful propaganda machines that made their enemies become infamous for thousands of years. This was very awesome. As for the hearts of the people, they were not just propaganda machines? As long as the propaganda machines were well promoted, wouldn’t it be black and turned into white?
"Thank you, Jieshuai, for your teachings! I think the emperor will be very happy after he knows it!" said Ma Zhou.
Jing Wen smiled. This drama is actually just a thing for flattery. Haven’t you seen some people have great power? Isn’t it just someone who comes to write a book for him? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
