Chapter 973 "Peony Pavilion"

Downstairs of Xiaojianghu Studio.

Tang Qiuyun, director of the Art Creation Department of Southern Theater, and Yuan Hong, assistant, just came out of Xiaojianghu Studio.

Yuan Hong said excitedly: "Director, Gu Yong did not reject us, just don't know what kind of story Gu Yong would create for us? It's really exciting to think about it."

Tang Qiuyun was in a good mood and said, "It's just a pity that we didn't have the chance to meet Mr. Gu Yong and could not thank him personally. This time he has helped us a lot. As for what kind of story he will create? This is hard to say, but from the previous two movies, it is very likely that this time it will be a tragedy."

Gu Yong did not refuse, which made Tang Qiuyun breathe a sigh of relief, and he was full of gratitude for Gu Yong.

At this moment, his face was full of smiles, but there was a hint of bitterness hidden in this smile.

Yuan Hong did not notice the bitterness in the director's smile, and continued: "Travels are good, sometimes tragedies are more likely to become classics. Although the audience does not like tragedies, they always want to watch them."

Tang Qiuyun said: "After that being said, there are two tragedies now. If the drama given to us can end in a comedy, the effect may be better. Of course, I just hope that if it is still a tragic ending, there is nothing, as long as it is Gu Yong's work."

Yuan Hong nodded and said, "What the director said is, in addition, Mr. Gu Yong said he would send us his works tomorrow. Will this be too hasty?"

Tang Qiuyun shook his head and said, "No, whether a work is good or not cannot be simply measured by creation time. Some people can create classic works in a very short time. Some people spend a lot of time and the works they create are always unsatisfactory. Gu Yong obviously belongs to the former."

Yuan Hong nodded and said, "This is really exciting!"

Tang Qiuyun smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too."

...

After leaving Zheng Jie's Yuanlaiju, Li Fan did not delay any further, but went home directly.

The big carp with a record-breaking weight was kept by Zheng Jie in a small pool next to the hut, ready to take good care of it to see if it could continue to grow up.

It is certain to continue growing up, but how old can you grow in the end? It is unknown now.

Li Fan was also a little curious about how big it will grow in the end?

When Li Fan returned home, he began to think about which work he promised to give to the Southern Theater.

First of all, it must be a classic work. In this way, it will be meaningful for Li Fan to bring it to this world.

Moreover, it cannot be worse than "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and "Dou E's Injustice". Otherwise, Li Fan would have smashed his signature.

In addition, the first two works end with tragedy, although at the end of Liang Zhu, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai both turned into butterflies, and were romantic and lingering.

But Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai died after all, and their love did not achieve the right result during their lifetime, and their ending should be considered a tragedy.

The two consecutive works have tragic endings, and Li Fan thought that this time, there should be a comedy ending.

Although the ending of a tragic thing is easy to become a classic, it cannot always be a tragedy.

The audience should also be happy after "saying" twice in a row.

And the comedy ending can also become a classic.

So, which work is better?

Li Fan first thought of "The West Chamber", the work of Wang Shifu, a famous opera singer in the Yuan Dynasty in his previous life.

The play embodies the beauty of simplicity and the pursuit of freedom everywhere.

The entire drama is gorgeous and beautiful, and full of poetic artistic conception. It is a masterpiece of realistic classical drama in previous lives. It has a great influence on the creation of dramas later on with love as the theme.

One of the words "I wish all lovers in the world will eventually get married" has become a beautiful vision of love that countless young men and girls have a profound impact.

Then, Li Fan thought of "Peony Pavilion", the representative work of Tang Xianzu, a famous playwright in the Ming Dynasty in the past, and the first dream among the "Four Dreams of Linchuan" and the most influential and accomplished dream.

It is also Tang Xianzu's most proud work. He once said, "I dreamed in my life, and the only thing I can do is to "Peony""

"Peony Pavilion" is a masterpiece full of romanticism and has a great influence on later generations.

The main thing is that there is a poor scholar Liu Mengmei who dreams of a beautiful woman standing under a plum tree in a garden, saying that she is married to him, and since then she often misses her.

The daughter of Du Bao, the prefect of Nan'an, is named Li Niang, and she is talented and beautiful.

One day, after Du Liniang came back from the garden, she was drowsy and saw a scholar holding a weeping willow to court, and the two met by the peony pavilion.

Du Liniang missed the scholar in her dream, and she became depressed and thin from then on, and she couldn't get up until she died.

On her deathbed, she asked her mother to bury her under the plum tree in the garden, and asked her maid Chunxiang to hide her self-portrait under the Taihu stone.

His father Du Bao built a "Plum Blossom Temple" at the place where Du Liniang was buried.

Three years later, Liu Mengmei went to Beijing to take the exam, stayed in Meihua Temple, and picked up a portrait of Du Liniang under the Taihu stone, and found that Du Liniang was the beauty he saw in his dream.

Du Liniang traveled to the back garden and found that Liu Mengmei was the scholar in her dream. In addition to being surprised, she had a secret meeting with Liu Mengmei again.

The next day, Liu Mengmei dug the grave and opened the coffin, and Du Liniang actually came back to life. The two became husband and wife and went to Lin'an together.

Du Liniang's teacher Chen Zuiliang, when he saw Du Liniang's grave being excavated, he reported Liu Mengmei's crime of robbing the tomb.

After taking the exam in Lin'an, Liu Mengmei was imprisoned by Du Liniang's father Du Bao.

After the list was released, Liu Mengmei won the exam and became the top scorer today.

Du Bao had to let Liu Mengmei out, but he still refused to admit his daughter's marriage and forced her to divorce.

Later, the dispute broke out in front of the emperor, and the emperor lamented their extraordinary fate. So Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei finally got married.

From birth to death, from death to life, it is extremely romantic, and such opera works have never appeared in this world.

Li Fan's mind moved and it was all right, "Peony Pavilion".

Compared with the realistic "The West Chamber", he decided to first choose the romantic "Peony Pavilion"

He believed that such a romantic drama would definitely be very popular in this world.

But "Peony Pavilion" is very long and is a long drama. This time the works given to the Southern Theater should not be too long.

Li Fan decided to choose one of them so that the audience in this world would have fun first.

In the future, if you have the chance, it will not be too late to release the whole show.

After deciding, he used "Peony Pavilion". Li Fan no longer hesitated and prepared to create the selected paragraph while it was hot.

The original work of "Peony Pavilion" is an opera work, and Li Fan also decided to adapt it into a novel work, and then the Southern Theater himself adapted it into a drama.

With the original work as a reference, it is easy to adapt it into a novel.

Of course, Li Fan’s adaptation is an intercepted version of "Peony Pavilion".
