In "Sauvignon Blanc", why is Tu Shanjing and Xiang Willow Fire

"Tu Shanjing's nine tails are just enough to give Xiangliu's nine heads as a neck encirclement."

After the broadcast of "Sauvignon Blanc", the "Law of Supporting Roles" became powerful again, and the two "monsters" of Tu Shanjing (played by Deng Wei) and Xiangliu (played by Kenji Tan) in Erban became popular. In the play, CP Xiaojing and Willow, composed of Xiao Xiao (played by Yang Zi), were all kinds of COS by netizens.

Tu Shanjing's prototype is the nine-tailed fox, and Xiangliu's prototype is the nine-headed siren, both of them are from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". There is a book to follow, there is a source to trace, which is also one of the reasons why these two characters can be liked by the audience.

In addition to "Sauvignon Blanc", the previous popular film and television dramas "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", "Flower Thousand Bones", "Ancient Sword and Qitan", "Liuli", and even Korean film and television dramas, many are based on "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is like a treasure trove of materials, providing a continuous source of creation for domestic and foreign films and television.

If it is going to charge a royalty, it must be sky-high.

| The nine-tailed fox, the most filmed youkai

In "Sauvignon Blanc", Tu Shanjing's prototype is the second son of the fox clan of the Tushan clan of Qingqiu, yes, it is the "Qingqiu Mountain" in the familiar "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

As the most optimistic combination of "Xiaojing" on the whole network, netizens counted several advantages of this "fox boy": always put Xiaoxiao first; Golden and affectionate; High emotional intelligence and emotional stability; It is a proper rich second-generation perfect character.

Tu Shanjing's identity is the nine-tailed fox clan of Qingqiu. This familiar formula is "collided" with the white shallow "shirt" in "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms". The difference is that Tu Shanjing is a male fox and his identity is a descendant of the Tushan tribe. Bai Shao is different, she is the female emperor of the Qingqiu Kingdom, a god.

But the same thing is that both need to cross the robbery. Tu Shanjing's robbery was persecuted and tortured by his own brother. Bai Shao's calamity is the third love calamity with Mo Yuan and Yehua.

What's more interesting is that in the popular drama "Fox Demon Little Red Lady" to be broadcast, "Bai Shao" Yang Mi once again starred as the fox demon, named Tushan Honghong. The nine-tailed fox circle seems to be very small, and it cannot escape the gate valve of the "Tushan Clan", but behind it is actually a strong endorsement of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Book of South Mountains": "Three hundred miles to the east, the mountain of green hills, its yang is more jade, and its yin is more green." There are beasts, whose shape is like a fox and nine tails, whose sound is like a baby, which can eat people, and that eaters are not deceitful. ”

The nine-tailed fox can be said to be the most filmed character in "The Book of Mountains and Seas", and there is no doubt that he is an Internet celebrity. But there are different opinions about its character characterization, the nine-tailed fox in "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is the female emperor of the Qingqiu Kingdom, and its essence is a god and belongs to the top of the fox clan. On the other hand, Daji in "Romance of the Gods" is also a nine-tailed fox, but he is a fox demon who seduces the king of Tang.

In "The Fox Demon Little Red Lady", although the Tushan Fox Clan is a tribe, and the nine-tailed fox is also the image of the "big boss", but in essence, it is the same as Daji, they are all fox demons.

Since the broadcast of "Fengshen List" in 1990, the nine-tailed fox element in Chinese film and television dramas has gradually increased. "The Legend of the Green Hill Fox", "Fox Immortal", "Nine-Tailed Fox and Immortal Crane", "Monkey King Seven Dozen Nine-Tailed Foxes", "The Legend of the New White Snake: The Nine-Tailed Fox", "The Blood and Tears of the Nine-Tailed Fox"

There are countless names for the nine-tailed fox, and its image is also good and evil. The mystery of the nine-tailed fox itself gives it the possibility of multiple interpretations.

The image of the nine-tailed fox not only appears frequently in Chinese film and television dramas, but is even "exported" abroad. The highest "fox content" is South Korea, ancient and modern, protagonists and supporting roles, all of them are spared. Many Korean drama fans are familiar works: "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox", "The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox", "The Hometown of Legends", "The Sister of the Nine-Tailed Fox", "The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox", "The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox 1983", there are also too many to list.

However, the filming of more film and television dramas has given South Korea the illusion that the nine-tailed fox originated in South Korea. In a Korean variety show, the guest claimed that "Korea is the ancestor of the nine-tailed fox". In layman's terms, the nine-tailed fox is Korean.

In fact, the true origin of the nine-tailed fox is China's "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which has a history of more than 2,000 years. The figure of the nine-tailed fox can also be found in the murals and stone statues of the pre-Qin period on the mainland. However, the earliest record of the nine-tailed fox in Korea was only the "Essentials of the Tandien" published in 1925.

"Culture going to sea" is a good thing, if you directly engage in Nalaism to confuse the origin of culture, smectas, beware of the originator of the nine-tailed fox showing his fangs - it is no wonder that many Chinese indignant at South Korea's "takeism".

| Aiyagi is a green leaf but like the protagonist

In addition to the nine-tailed fox, another character in "Sauvignon Blanc", Xiangliu, is also out of the circle.

Even screenwriter Tonghua showed her love for this character, she once said: "Xiangliu is my favorite character, the more I write, the more I like it, and I even want to write him as a male protagonist." But the more he wrote, the more he found that his existence was predestined from the beginning, and he existed for the sake of death. ”

Although the description of Xiangliu in the original work of "Sauvignon Blanc" is not much, a lot of white space is used. But Tonghua wrote a separate fan for him, and posted this Weibo after the novel was published: "Through the car window, I saw that the sky was very blue, the white clouds were very white, and I remembered the nine lives dressed in white, and the nine curves of red dust." What a free demon he should be, but he trapped himself because of responsibility. ”

Not only did the author reveal his love for Xiangliu, but even many "Yaoliu" parties claimed that Xiangliu was the male protagonist in his heart.

Xiangliu's real body is a nine-headed Kraken, also derived from the Classic of Mountains and Seas:

"The minister of the co-workers, known as the Xiangliu clan, the nine heads, eats on the nine mountains. Where the willow arrives, it is Zexi. Yu kills Xiangliu, its blood, can not be planted with grains. Yu Yuzhi, three battles and three depressions, is the platform of all emperors. In the north of Kunlun, the east of Rouli. The one who looks like willows, nine human faces, snake body and blue. Don't dare to shoot north, afraid of the platform of common work. Taiwan is to the east. In all directions, there is a snake in the corner, the color of the tiger, and the first rushes south. ”

(Translation: Gonggong had a courtier named Xiangyanagi, who had nine heads and ate on nine mountains. Wherever Sangyanagi touches, it turns into swamps and streams. Dayu killed Xiangliu, and the blood flowing from Xiangliu's body was so smelly that grains could not be grown anywhere it flowed. Dayu dug up soil to fill this place, filled it three times but collapsed three times, so Dayu built an imperial platform for the emperors here. The imperial platform is north of the Kunlun Mountains and east of the Rouli Kingdom. Xiangliu, with nine heads, has a human-like face and a snake-like body, and has a cyan body. Do not dare to shoot arrows to the north, because they are in awe of the platform of common work. The platform of gonggong is on the east side of the imperial platform. The platform is square in shape, with a snake on each horn, with tiger-like markings on its body, and its head facing south. ）

Note: Gonggong is a water god in ancient Chinese mythology, a descendant of Emperor Yan, son of Zhurong, and legend has it that he once competed with Zhuan Yi (the leader of the ancient tribal alliance, one of the "Five Emperors", and one of the ancestors of humanities) to become emperor, but failed and became angry and could not touch Zhou Mountain.

Dayu kills Xiangliu's sculpture

In novels and film and television dramas, Xiangliu does follow the background identity in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", but Tonghua adds a mortal love to him. The reason why Soyanagi is popular with the audience is not complicated: the fulfillment of love.

He really made Xiao Xiao a person who had someone to rely on, strong self-preservation, and a place to go. This kind of love engraved in the bones is moving.

Lingying loves Xiaoyao, but never puts her first, and uses her repeatedly, this kind of love is selfish.

Tu Shanjing loves Xiaoyao, but also gets and owns, although affectionate, but less heart-to-heart acquaintance.

Xiangliu's love is deeply hidden, and he knows that he can't stay with Xiao Xiao, so he achieves her love. Xiao Yao is only most self when he is with Xiangliu. In previous film and television dramas, the president with a black belly like Lingying and the affectionate male protagonist like Tu Shanjing can capture the hearts of a large number of fans.

But in the current rise of female consciousness and more diversified aesthetics, the completion and achievement of Xiangliu-like allows the heroine to live out her own male character and enter the hearts of the audience more easily. In Sangyanagi's love, the focus is never on oneself, but on one's lover.

Some people commented on "Sauvignon Blanc" like this: the male protagonist is Lingying, the official match is Tu Shanjing, but the scene is given to Xiangliu.

Today's entertainment industry is repeatedly confirming the "No. 2 effect", and the male and female protagonists are no longer the only standard for the audience to chase dramas. The "number two" with outstanding personalities and excellent acting skills are strongly attracting fans. Whether it is Gao Ye in "Crazy", Chen Duling in "Long Moon Ember Ming", or Wei Daxun in "My Human Fireworks", it is all corroboration.

There are countless "green leaves" from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". On the first day of "Sauvignon Blanc", the mythical beast "Misty", which appeared only a few minutes ago, became popular, it likes to listen to beautiful and beautiful songs, and it is a forgetful beast that can make people have no troubles. There is the original text of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Zhongshan Jing": Forty miles to the north, Huo Mountain, its wood is more than good. There are beasts, which are like beavers, and white-tailed beards, whose names are called misty and can be worried. ”

The white and shallow servant Migu in "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is an earth immortal refined by the Migu tree, and is also the housekeeper of the Qingqiu Fox Cave. Moreover, he also has the navigation function of "Pei Zhi is not lost", and Bai Shao will ask him for branches every time before going out to prevent getting lost. The origin and skills of the valley are basically consistent with those recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Another divine beast with a very high cultivation, Bi Fang, because he adored Bai Shao, was willing to become the mount of Bai Shao's fourth brother Bai Zhen. Finally plucked up the courage to confess, but found that Bai Shao had already made love to Yehua.

Bi Fang is from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Western Mountain Classic": "There is a bird Yan, its shape is like a crane, one foot, red text blue and white beak, the name is Bi Fang, its song is also called, see that there is a fire ("譌" through "讹"). "When Yehua went to find the god Zhicao to save Mo Yuan, he encountered four fierce beasts: gluttony (tāo tiè), chaos, táo wù, and poor qi. Their divine power is also recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

In addition, the "Changliu Mountain" and "Penglai Mountain" in "Flower Thousand Bones", the "Chongming Bird" in "Ancient Sword and Qitan", the Teng Snake and Wuzhiqi in "Glazed Beauty", and the "Return to the Ruin", "Cangwu Abyss", and "Ten Witches" mentioned in "Mirror Twin Cities" are all from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

| "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the top IP in the Chinese mythological industry

Why do online writers and fairy writers love "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"? Because, it has too much room for imagination.

As an ancient myth native to China, the worldview of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a symbiosis of the three worlds of man, demon and immortal. It focuses on geographical objects, mainly mountains and seas, narrates the distribution of humans and animals and historical stories, and contains myths and witchcraft fantasies.

Eighteen volumes, more than 30,000 words, record 550 mountains, more than 400 kinds of exotic beasts, and about 40 kingdoms. Such rich material is undoubtedly a treasure trove for writers.

The writing technique of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is relatively primitive, such as the record of the phoenix: "The mountain of the Dan Cave, there is a bird, its shape is like a chicken, and the name is the Phoenix Emperor." This method of only describing and not having any plot provides writers and screenwriters with a certain amount of imagination. In the gap between reality and imagination, to build stories.

"Sauvignon Blanc" not only selects some classic elements from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but also reinterprets the characters from ancient Chinese legends. It integrates the "three emperors and five emperors" of ancient mythology into the story, and although the film and television works have modified the names of people, in essence, "Sauvignon Blanc" is a re-compiled story based on Chinese mythology and with the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as values and elements. It can be said that it is built on the wisdom of the ancients.

As one of Tonghua's most satisfying works, "Sauvignon Blanc" is the final chapter of the "Mountain and Sea History" series of stories, with a large background, many characters, a total word count of nearly 800,000 words, and a writing time of up to 3 years. The background of the story, because of the reconstruction of some historical figures, has also been questioned by many people, believing that she distorts myths and smears her ancestors.

But this work, which has been born for 10 years, has a stable overall reputation. The reason is that Tonghua grasps the main emotional line, and the family affection, friendship, and love experienced by Xiao Yao's growth are all empathetic to the public. This also indirectly shows that emotions are not afraid of time, and ancient and modern are connected.

From another point of view, "Sauvignon Blanc" is actually the best promotion officer of "Classic of Mountains and Seas". On many self-media platforms, fans of the drama showed their talents, discussing the efforts of the Nine Lives Xiangliu, the wit of the little fox in Tushan, and the black belly of Lingying as an emperor. These seem to have nothing to do with the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but they have stimulated the interest of netizens in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", they go to the book to find the prototype of Xiangliu and Tu Shanjing, and to look for the story of "three emperors and five emperors" in ancient mythology. This is also another inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.

In the Jinjiang Literature Network that debuted in Tonghua, the search was carried out with "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as the keyword, and the number of works was thousands. In recent years, these fantasy works have gradually been adapted from text into film and television works. The process of visualizing the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has given Chinese mythological characters a concrete image, and also made the imagination of book fans become reality.

There are also some film and television works, although they do not directly use the characters of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but also borrow elements from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Xu Chengyi, the director of the movie "Monster Hunting", said in an interview that the birth of the "cute god" Huba is a new monster created after absorbing the elements of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The domestic animated film "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", many supporting role materials are derived from "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The inspiration and background of "Big Fish and Begonia" are also borrowed from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

The bearer in the game industry: "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Ancient Sword and Qitan", "Xuanyuan Sword", the world view structure, without exception, is derived from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Recently, it was rumored that Wu Jing will team up with "The Wandering Earth" director Guo Fan to put the monster of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" on the screen, which also triggered unlimited expectations from fans.

The late Master of Mythology, Mr. Yuan Ke, once said:

"When it comes to Chinese mythology, if you don't start with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, you can't talk about it."

In the field of myths and legends, "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can be described as a well-deserved "top IP". Over thousands of years, it has been interpreted by countless eras and is still enduring.

Perhaps, this is the charm of the classic.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" mentioned at the beginning "if you charge copyright fees" will be sky-high, of course, this is just an assumption that this ancient classic, as a public IP, does not take anything, but leaves a place of gold for future generations.

It's just that it depends on whether it can be used properly.
