Chapter 600: Companionship is the best confession
"Sister Ya, have you heard of this folklore?" Seeing that Zhao Ya's reaction was a little abnormal, Chen Ziang was surprised.
Calling "Sister Zhao" is a bit raw, and Chen Ziang changed the name of Zhao Ya to "Sister Ya".
"I've heard of it, Bai Suzhen. Zhao Ya smiled and quickly returned to normal.
Chen Ziang smiled: "That's really fate, although some versions of "The Legend of the White Snake" say that Bai Suzhen is from Qingcheng Mountain, but many people here have never heard of the folk legend of "The Legend of the White Snake". ”
Zhao Ya nodded and smiled: "Yes, I also knew about it because of my parents when I was a child." They often scared me, saying that if I didn't obey me, they would let the white snake take me away. ”
Chen Ziang said seriously: "This folk tale is about to be put on the screen. ”
Zhao Ya was stunned.
Folk opera gradually disappeared from the stage of history, and the story of the White Snake became less and less known.
A long time ago, "The Legend of the White Snake" was not uncommon on the opera stage, but with the fall of opera, not only "The Legend of the White Snake" was gradually forgotten by people, but many folk tales also disappeared into history.
"Who wants to put it on the screen?" Zhao Ya looked at Chen Ziang eagerly.
Chen Ziang saw anticipation and longing in her eyes.
I guess she doesn't want this folk tale that accompanied her to grow up to be forgotten by the world.
When you are young, you don't know what you're getting, but when you grow up, you find that you're losing more and more.
"I!" Chen Ziang replied.
Seeing Zhao Ya's eyes, the string that was tense in his heart loosened.
It turned out that she knew this folklore and wanted it to be widely known.
Then, it is estimated that it will not be difficult to invite her to star.
"You?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised, she didn't know that Chen Ziang had Boyu Film and Television, and she had already finished filming "Dragon Babu".
Chen Ziang smiled: "What, isn't it like it?"
Zhao Ya thought about it and said with a smile: "It's quite similar, it is said in the circle and on the Internet that you love tossing, but I didn't expect to not only enter the film and television industry as an actor so soon, but also invest in film and television works." ”
"How about the role of White Snake, are you interested?" asked Chen Ziang.
Zhao Ya hesitated.
Chen Ziang was a little worried, did he feel that something was wrong?
Looking at Zhao Ya's eyes just now, it was like a child seeing a toy.
He took out all the toys to tempt, and Zhao Ya actually had a tendency to retreat.
"Well, didn't I hear you say that the company didn't find you a notice? What other difficulties do you have?" asked Chen Ziang.
Zhao Ya pondered for a moment and asked, "Can I read the script first?"
After asking, Chen Ziang learned that Zhao Ya was more concerned about the definition of Bai Suzhen's role in "The Legend of the White Snake".
In various folk versions of "The Legend of the White Snake", Bai Suzhen's image is different, and there are even two extremes.
These two extremes, one is the snake demon who plagued Xu Xian, and the other is the goblin who married Xu Xian in "The Legend of the New White Lady" to repay his kindness.
Zhao Ya said that the white snake in the eyes of her parents was a good person, and he would only come down from the mountain and take away disobedient children.
"Don't worry, in my "The Legend of the White Snake", Bai Suzhen is a good person. Chen Ziang reassured Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya asked curiously: "Your "The Legend of the White Snake"?
"As long as the script is good, it doesn't matter who writes it. Chen Ziang smiled and promised to read the script to Zhao Ya after eating.
Zhao Ya was originally a little worried about Chen Ziang writing the script, but during the meal and chat, she was a little shocked when she learned that the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was written by Chen Ziang.
Although the status of the screenwriter in the crew is relatively low, the importance is self-evident.
Everyone knows that the story and the script are the foundation, just like people know that rice, wheat, vegetables, etc. are all grown by farmers, and the importance of farmers goes without saying.
But how many people take the peasants seriously?
In high-rise buildings, well-dressed people, how many people do not think that they are superior to those peasants?
Professions such as peasants and sanitation workers represent the tiredness of swearing, and the people who do these jobs are considered useless to do it.
But people can't see these people, such as sanitation workers, who guard our clean streets on the streets, regardless of the cold winter or dog days, and can only hide under the shade of trees to rest and be sleepy when they are tired and sleepy......
"Has the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake" started to prepare?" Zhao Ya asked.
"That's right, it's the most important candidate for the role of the White Lady. Chen Ziang said with a smile.
In the previous life, the TV series that made Lin'an and West Lake a global Chinese holy place was "The Legend of the New White Lady".
The water of West Lake, my tears......
There are many versions of the story of the White Lady in the folk circulation of this world, and Chen Ziang did not dare to copy all of them from his previous life, so he collected them day and night.
Eventually, he knocked down his version.
Basically, it is a fusion of the two versions of the Taiwan version and the CCTV version.
In terms of the degree of emotion, the central version of the White Lady is not lost to the Taiwan version of the White Lady. Especially in the finale, the appeal even exceeds that of the Taiwan version.
The CCTV version of the Legend of the White Snake is the most profound and perfect interpretation of the poignant love between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.
Compared with Xinbai, you will actually find a lot of problems. Xinbai's comprehensive performance in the early stage is very outstanding, but the finale is very dramatic: White Snake and Xu Xian respect each other like guests, Fahai becomes an immortal, and Xu Xian's son marries Li Bilian.
The most distressing thing is that in the end, the love between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen no longer exists, and only the helplessness of becoming an immortal remains.
Such an ending makes the story lose the love values of the myth itself, and deliberately caters to the so-called happy ending, which seriously weakens the original interpretation of love in the legend of the White Snake.
The perfect reunion that people see is actually hollow, pale and even helpless in their hearts.
Is this a happy ending?
The Taiwanese version of the Legend of the White Snake, in fact, was originally planned to end only when Bai Suzhen entered Leifeng Tower, but for the sake of market demand and business, the story of Xu Shilin was forcibly added to the dogtail mink, and in the later stage, because the screenwriter of the previous part did not agree to add more content, the producer changed the screenwriter.
Therefore, the style of the two parts before and after the Taiwan version of the White Snake Biography, such as the lyrics, is completely different. There were also contradictions before and after, for example, when the screenwriter conceived the early stage of the White Snake out of the tower as the champion of Wenqu Xingzhong, the later screenwriter changed it to the West Lake Water Dry Lei Feng Tower.
Chen Ziang doesn't do this, he can't move the Taiwan version of the White Snake in its entirety.
The CCTV version of the Legend of the White Snake, not to mention the plot of the first part, but only the ending, perfectly interprets the tragicomedy love.
This kind of love is not desperate, but gives the power to heal people's hearts.
The central version of the Legend of the White Snake, the final ending is seven hundred years later, Leifeng Pagoda collapsed, indicating that Xu Bai's love or Bai Suzhen herself has been recognized.
Their love was suppressed, and in the end, it was toppled with Leifeng Tower, and the final victory of love was coded.
In the previous life, some people discussed the central version of the White Snake Biography and said that Xu Xian was dead, but no matter what Xu Xian's ending was, Xu Bai and the others, especially Bai Suzhen, had already seen through the life, old age, sickness, death, love and hate of the world from those eight tears, and completely understood Xu Xian's infatuation.
