Tang Qiuyun, director of the artistic creation department of the Southern Theater, and Yuan Hong, assistant of the Southern Theater, have just come out of the Xiaojianghu Studio.
Yuan Hong said excitedly: "Director, Gu Yong really didn't reject us, but I don't know what kind of story Gu Yong will create for us? ”
Tang Qiuyun was also in a good mood, and said: "It's just a pity that we didn't have the opportunity to meet Mr. Gu Yong, so we couldn't thank him in person, he can be said to have done us a great favor this time." As for what kind of story he will create? It's hard to say, but judging from the previous two films, it is very likely that this time will also be a tragedy. ”
Gu Yong did not refuse, which made Tang Qiuyun breathe a long sigh of relief, and his heart was full of gratitude to Gu Yong.
At this time, his face was also full of smiles, but in this smile, there was still a trace of bitterness.
Yuan Hong didn't notice the bitterness in the director's smile, and continued: "Tragedy is good, tragedy is sometimes easier to become a classic. Although the audience doesn't like tragedies, they can't help but want to watch them. ”
Tang Qiuyun said: "Having said that, there are already two tragedies now, and if the drama for us can end with 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 that he would send the work to us tomorrow, will this be too hasty?"
Tang Qiuyun shook his head and said: "No, whether a work is good or not cannot be measured simply by the time of creation." Some people can create classic works in a very short time. And some people spend a lot of time and create works that are always unsatisfactory. Gu Yong clearly belongs to the former. ”
Yuan Hong nodded, and said, "In this way, it's really exciting!"
Tang Qiuyun smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too." ”

Leaving from Zheng Jie's fate, Li Fan did not make any other delays, but went home directly.
The big carp, which broke the record, was kept by Zheng Jie in a small pool next to the hut, ready to take care of it to see if it could continue to grow.
It's certain that we'll continue to grow, but how big will we get in the end?
Li Fan was also a little curious, how big could it grow in the end?
Back at home, Li Fan began to ponder in his heart, which one should he choose for the work he promised to the Southern Theater?
First of all, it has to be a classic. In this way, it will make sense for Li Fan to bring it to this world.
Moreover, it can't be worse than "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and "Dou E's Injustice". Otherwise, Li Fanke would have smashed his signboard.
In addition, the first two works ended in tragedy, although at the end of Liang Zhu, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai both turned into butterflies, and the romance lingered.
But Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai died after all, and their love did not come to fruition during their lifetimes, and their ending should be regarded as a tragedy.
The two works in a row have tragic endings, and Li Fan pondered that this time, there should be a comedy ending.
Although the tragic ending is easy to become a classic, it cannot always be a tragedy.
"Knocked" the audience twice in a row, which should also make the audience happy.
And the comedy ending can also become a classic.
So, which one is better to use?
Li Fan first thought of "The Legend of the West Chamber", the work of Wang Shifu, a famous opera artist in the Yuan Dynasty in the previous life.
In the play, the beauty of simplicity and the pursuit of freedom are reflected everywhere.
The whole play is gorgeous and beautiful, full of poetic artistic conception, it is a masterpiece of realism in the classical drama of the previous life, and has a great influence on the later novels and dramas with love as the theme.
One of the sentences, "May there be lovers in the world who will eventually become married", has become the beautiful vision of countless boys and girls for love, which has an extremely far-reaching impact.
Then, Li Fan thought of "The Peony Pavilion", the masterpiece of the famous playwright Tang Xianzu of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, the first dream in the "Four Dreams of Linchuan", and the dream with the greatest influence and highest achievement.
At the same time, it is also Tang Xianzu's most proud work, he once said, "I have four dreams in my life, and the only thing I am proud of is "Peony""
"The Peony Pavilion" is a masterpiece full of romanticism and has had a great influence on later generations.
The main thing is that there is a poor scholar Liu Mengmei, who dreamed that under the plum tree in a garden, there was a beautiful woman, saying that she had a marriage with him, and she often missed her since then.
Nan'an is too shou Du Bao's daughter Mingli Niang, talented and beautiful.
One day, after Du Liniang came back from the garden, in her sleep, she saw a scholar holding half a weeping willow to court, and the two had a tryst by the peony pavilion.
Du Liniang missed the scholar in her dreams, and since then she has been depressed and emaciated, and she has been ill until she dies.
When she was dying, she asked her mother to bury her under the plum tree in the garden, and instructed the maid Chunxiang to hide her self-portrait under the Taihu Lake stone.
His father Du Bao built a "plum blossom temple" in the place where Du Liniang was buried.
Three years later, Liu Mengmei went to Beijing to take the exam, stayed in the plum blossom nunnery, found the portrait of Du Liniang under the Taihu Lake stone, and found that Du Liniang was the beautiful woman he saw in his dream.
Du Liniang traveled to the back garden and found that Liu Mengmei was the scholar in her dream, and she was pleasantly surprised to have a tryst with Liu Mengmei again.
The next day, Liu Mengmei dug up the grave and opened the coffin, Du Liniang came back to life, and the two became husband and wife and went to Lin'an together.
Du Liniang's teacher, Chen Ziliang, saw that Du Liniang's grave was excavated, so he accused Liu Mengmei of robbing the tomb.
After Liu Mengmei took the exam in Lin'an, she was imprisoned by Du Liniang's father, Du Bao.
After the list was released, Liu Mengmei won the championship and became the champion today.
Du Bao had to let Liu Mengmei out, but still did not recognize his daughter's marriage and forced her to divorce.
Later, the dispute came to the emperor, and the emperor sighed at the great fate of the two. As a result, Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei finally became married.
From life to death, and then from death to life, it is very romantic, and such opera works have never appeared in this world.
Li Fan's mind moved, and it was it, "The Peony Pavilion".
Compared with the realistic "The Legend of the West Chamber", he decided to choose the romantic "Peony Pavilion" this time
He believes that such a drama full of romanticism will definitely be a big hit in this world.
It's just that "The Peony Pavilion" is very long, it is a long play, and this time the work for the Southern Theater should not be too long.
Li Fan decided to choose one of them to let the audience in this world enjoy it first.
In the future, if there is a chance, it will not be too late to launch the whole drama.
decided to use "The Peony Pavilion", Li Fan no longer hesitated, and was ready to create the selected section while it was hot.
The original work of "The Peony Pavilion" is an opera work, and Li Fan also decided to adapt it into a work of fiction, and then the Southern Theater itself will adapt it into a drama.
With the original book as a reference, it is easy to adapt it into a novel.
Of course, Li Fan's adaptation is a truncated version of "The Peony Pavilion".
