"Daming under the microscope" and "Manjiang Hong" are different from the "Yongzheng Dynasty"

author:Zhuo Jiu

Recently, I watched "Daming under the microscope", and watched "Manjiang Hong" during the Spring Festival, and there were more discussions, especially Manjianghong, and the complaining focused on letting Qin Juniper (I don't know if I selectively forgot that it was a stand-in) recite Manjiang Hong, and since it has been made up, why not kill Qin Juniper, indicating that the creative idea is clear. When I talked about "Daming under the microscope", I also mentioned that the lawyer played by Wang Yang is not like this in history, but I also said that as a historical legendary drama, it is understandable to have such a character to promote the development of the plot.

"Daming under the microscope" and "Manjiang Hong" are different from the "Yongzheng Dynasty"

I think the opinions on film and television works such as "Manjiang Hong" and "Daming under the microscope" either confuse historical legendary dramas with historical dramas, or infinitely enlarge the boundaries of historical legendary dramas.

What is a historical drama, this is generally the tone set by the crew when doing publicity, that is, the so-called serious historical drama, strictly restore history, all use this as a selling point. The better ones include a series of productions from the Chinese TV drama production center in the nineties, such as "Tang Minghuang" and "Wu Zetian". Later "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Towards the Republic". The most in line with the standards of historical drama is "The Reign of Zhenguan", which restores history to the point where it can sacrifice the story, so it seems very boring. There is also a "Daming Dynasty 1566" is more special, the main line in the play, the so-called "changing rice into mulberry" has not happened in history, but the characters and plots shown around this are all true historical restorations, so this can be called an excellent historical drama.

But there are also some of them, such as "Zhenguan Long Song", "Kangxi Dynasty", and "Jiangshan Wind and Rain", under the banner of historical drama, to falsify the truth of history. For example, I said before countless times that the Qing army landed in Taiwan, and Zheng Jing committed suicide; There is also the plot of Fan Wencheng dying under the butcher's knife of the Chongzhen Emperor, and Hao Ge and other Manchurian relatives and nobles crying and mourning, which is pure nonsense, which is called an unqualified so-called historical drama.

To sum up, the standard of historical drama, the plot does not require that all can be recorded in the history books, and there can be a certain artistic processing of the story and character image, but the historical figure must conform to the historical appearance at that time, the plot cannot be made up indiscriminately, and the development context must conform to the original historical appearance.

Historical legendary drama, the most outstanding in this, it has to be said that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", of course, this is called historical legend, and later derived countless film and television works, opera reviews and so on.

Let's just say that in these recent historical legendary dramas, "Daming under the microscope" joined a lawyer who could not exist at that time under the condition of ensuring that the big historical facts were not changed, let the ham shop shopkeeper sneak into the Yamen of Zhixian to say things, let Zhixian feel the joy of doing practical things for the people, and finally participated in agricultural production labor, which is okay. But he relies on the history of Zhang Juzheng's reforms, which is real and indeed so. In the nineties, there was a "play about Qianlong", which is also a model. Although the plot is certainly fictional, the salt gang Caoyun, Jiangning weaving, the text prison, the British infiltration of the border area, these are all historical realities, which is to put the fictional story into the real historical situation.

Let's talk about "Manjiang Hong", the movie shows at the beginning that these are fictional stories, directly entering the category of historical legendary dramas. So I don't think I need to correspond to history one by one, including whether the phrase "Manjiang Hong" was made by Yue Fei, whether it was Yue Fei's final pen in prison, and I also know that Yue Fei only wrote eight big characters before he died: "Zhao Zhao every day, Zhao Zhao every day". None of this is important, just like we all know that Second Master Guan did not pass the five levels and kill six generals, but there is no need to question the value of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", saying that the history of the Three Kingdoms only talks about the history of the Three Kingdoms, talking about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" only talking about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", emphasizing that the plot of "Manjiang Hong" goes against history belongs to confusing historical legendary dramas with historical dramas. We only have to look at what should have been a group of business women, after feeling that they were no longer business women, bursting out of energy, no matter how you look at it, I personally think the story is very wonderful.

The next question, since it is a historical legendary drama, then why not kill Qin Juniper? This is the boundary problem of historical legendary dramas, and the big historical facts cannot be changed. also took "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as an example, so supportive of Liu and degrading Cao, and finally did not dare to write that Liu Bei Group destroyed the Cao clan, which is the boundary of historical dramas. Beyond this boundary, it is either a costume romance idol drama, such as the previous "Great Han Tianzi", and a group of costume dramas mainly led by beautiful women, including those of the Han Dynasty, and those of five generations and ten countries... Wait, I didn't see much, I can't remember the specific title of the play. Or the cool text type, such as the current crossing novel, or Zhou Dahuang's "Anti-Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which did write Liu Bei successfully, but the status of this book in the history of literature is compared with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is no less than the difference between cloud mud, this is superclass, and the word "history" can no longer be added. Looking at the world today, there is a historical background and dares to change the ending of important people at will, and it is still well evaluated, only Quentin Tarundino, but there is only one him in the world.

To make another analogy, if "Man Jiang Hong" finally arranges for Qin Hui to be killed, it is basically equivalent to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" writing that Liu Bei destroyed Cao Cao, which is to make you refreshed. In fact, if you think about it, if you think about it, there will be nothing, and the plot is actually inferior. Of course, if you want to say that it is not superior, it is also a matter of opinion, I will not raise the bar with you.

Finally, if it is a historical legendary drama, arrange a non-existent advocate, Qin Hui has a stand-in, and Yue Fei's pen is full of red rivers, but the well-known historical facts cannot be changed casually. And for the "Kangxi Dynasty", which is known as a historical drama, arranging the landing of the Qing army in Taiwan, the plot of Zheng Jing's suicide is unqualified, because you advertise a historical drama, so everyone will treat what you play as historical.
