As one of the four famous novels of China, after the Journey to the West, Red Mansion and the Three Kingdoms were broadcast one after another, there was only the water margin left.

Now it's finally going to be broadcast.

For Chinese people, the Water Margin is so classic that they are naturally looking forward to it, especially since the project started filming, there have been news reports.

But after so long, people slowly stopped paying much attention, and at this time, suddenly CCTV reported that the Water Margin was about to be broadcast, and both TV and print media began to report everywhere in this period, making people pick up their original expectations again.

For the four famous novels, the replay degree is the highest, and the audience's favorite thing to watch is, of course, Journey to the West, myths and legends, a somersault of 108,000 miles, unpredictable, and always arouses people's desire to chase down - even if he has watched it many times.

In other words, mythological dramas always make people enthusiastic.

is not only Journey to the West, but also "Fengshen Bang", of course, there are also "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Liao Zhai", "Jigong" and "Wuyi Immortal Mortal World" in previous years, and "Wuyi" is also directed by Yang Jie.

And if you roughly calculate, the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin are barely in the same category, because they both have history and war, but they are also different, the difference is probably the distance between the gods and Liaozhai, the big scene and the microclimate.

As for Dream of Red Mansions, compared to these three, there are a lot fewer people who like it, because this is a slow and leisurely rhythm, and if you have read the original work, you know the sadness of the ending, and you don't have the courage to watch it again.

Unlike Water Margin, although the ending is also sad, at least the process is not so depressing.

The Red Mansion needs to be tasted slowly, and the mood is impetuous and can't look down.

Naturally, just in terms of popularity, Red Mansion can't catch up with those few.

No literary and artistic work can satisfy everyone, but because of the relationship between the four famous works, their attention is higher than that of any historical work.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but think of a passage in Han Han's book "Triple Door":

"There are too many women in "Dream of Red Mansions", and I am afraid that my son will be interested in women too early, so it is listed as a banned book; fortunately, there are one hundred and five men in "Water Margin", which occupies an absolute advantage, and even if there are women, it will not become a climate, so it is not banned, but some content should be deleted from the dialogue inside, such as "birds" cannot appear, and all "birds" are blacked, which leads to "Water Margin" in "Thousands of Mountains and Birds Flying". ”

This book was published in 00, as a Junjie who is two years younger than himself, this is the time when the limelight is in the limelight.

Ning Yuan admired him a lot, especially in his previous life, after all, Ning Yuan was still a small character at that time, and Han Han had already become famous.

A seventeen-year-old boy can write a large book that has become a bestseller, and although he is limited by his experience, he only writes about life from junior high school to high school, but the style and some of the thoughts in it are enlightening even for many adults to read.

Linking the 'birds' in the Water Margin with 'Birds of a Thousand Mountains Flying Away', this faint humorous style has always run through Han Han.

And before this, Ning Yuan had read a few Qian Zhongshu books, and felt that Han Han's style began to imitate him, but slowly, he also had his own style.

Of course, Han Han also has his shortcomings, the first published "Triple Gate", which was written there as 'Fortunately, there are one hundred and eight men in "Water Margin", until it was found fault by many people, and it was not changed when it was reprinted, but one hundred and eight was not deleted, but a [five] was added after eight.

He himself said that he hadn't seen the Water Margin, but he just took it for granted that he would be one hundred and eight generals.

Therefore, it is not surprising why the four famous novels were filmed.

At the end of the 70s, director Wang Fulin visited the United Kingdom and saw that the TV series adaptation of Shakespeare and other famous works was very successful, and many young people majoring in literature in some colleges and universities in China had not read the four famous novels, and they couldn't help but sigh:

"In those ten years, the popular theory of the uselessness of reading in China made everyone stop reading, and almost no one read classical classics, which is a strange phenomenon. So how do you popularize it? I think it's best to use it in the form of the masses. ”

Therefore, Wang Fulin personally directed "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", while "Journey to the West" was handed over to director Yang Jie.

Wang Fulin is indeed a great talent, and he can make two diametrically opposed dramas so successful and become classics, and he has great influence not only in the mainland, but also in Xiangjiang, Baodao, and even abroad.

At that time, Xiangjiang had not yet returned, and at that time the dollar was still very valuable, when it was sold to Xiangjiang, an episode sold for 15 million US dollars, which was 87 years of money, and the most expensive movie star at that time was only a few million yuan, which was still Xiangyuan.

And "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was even more expensive when it was sold to Neon Country, selling a sky-high price of 15,000 for an episode, and it was also in US dollars, of course, this is also related to the Neon Country's liking for the culture of the Three Kingdoms, and "Red Cliff" can be seen at the box office of Neon.

The three are all popular, and rave reviews, when Ren Dahui took the Three Kingdoms to Thailand to promote, it was the king's uncle who hosted a banquet to receive them, looking around at the leading actors who went to the banquet with makeup, he said excitedly:

"Seeing you guys is like characters flying out of a book. ”

Because of this, as soon as the news of the Water Margin to be broadcast this time spread, it immediately attracted a large number of 'orders'.

The most enthusiastic are still a few TV stations in the neon country.

As early as two or three hundred years ago in the eighteenth century, the Water Margin was brought to the neon country to spread, so many people are no strangers to it.

Even, the earliest version of the Water Margin TV series was filmed by the Neon people in 73, with Lin Chong as the protagonist, but this drama is a gift for the normalization of diplomatic relations, but the response is not small, and then it was broadcast on the BBC and Xiangjiang in the United Kingdom.

However, the earliest movie was made by Xiangjiang Shaw Brothers Company in 72, directed by the famous Zhang Che, with Yan Qing played by Jiang David and Wu Song played by Dillon as the protagonists, Fan Shaohuang's father Fan Meisheng played Li Kui, and Hua Rong was played by Jiang David's brother Qin Pei.

And this movie, John Woo, who was still young at the time, served as Zhang Che's deputy, such a masterpiece starring a first-line student and a well-known director, naturally the box office was not low, and it also won the 10th Golden Ju Award for Outstanding Feature Film.

Now that the CCTV version of Water Margin is broadcast, the media will inevitably compare these with the well-received version of Lu Province starring Bao Guoan in Song Jiang.

However, because of the age, not many people have seen those, so naturally there is not much impression, just like in the future, many people will be incredible, the 83 version of the Condor and the 97 version of the Condor are listed as classics, and the waterfall made of plastic wrap is serious?

It's like they're used to playing kings and eating chicken, and they don't understand the memories of legends and Contra in many people's hearts at all.

Therefore, at this time, many people are looking forward to the broadcast of Water Margin.

"Dangdangdang...... The big river flows eastward, wow, the stars in the sky~~"
