The weather is warm. In front of the window, several pots of rich bamboos bathed in the sun, with green leaves and silver edges, are thriving.

Just like Ma Shifu's mood at the moment.

Today, Li Re, Wang Hou, and Heqinsheng made a special trip to see him. said goodbye to the chaos of the New Year's Festival, and also branched out the younger generations who were responsible for taking care of them, and in the room, there were only decades of old friends and decades of old wine.

The doctor forbade him to drink, but the prince brought him a jar of cellar wine. After all, after all, there are not many days left to be able to drink like this.

It was a little sad to say, but the four of them didn't feel any hurt. Talking and pointing out the country, in a trance, just like the green years of the year.

"Have you paid attention to Jin Boy's "Xiao Shiyi Lang"?"

Chatting and chatting, Ma Shifu said suddenly.

As always, Heqin Sheng didn't like to hear Deng Zheng's name, snorted, picked up a plate of wine, and stood in front of Fuguizhu with a straight face.

Wang Hou also frowned: "Okay, why do you mention him! Isn't it? If you mention this "Xiao Shiyi Lang" in this novel, there is some truth, but this is a TV series, and the concrete form of expression means that the aesthetic connotation and imagination space of the text have been completely stripped away, what is there to talk about, what is there to talk about?"

Ma Shifu didn't care, smiled, and said leisurely: "Of course there is something to talk about, there is something to talk about." I remember a master once said: 'Fiction as an art is not just about playing with guns. Any novel must consider answering the question of what is the existence of man, and what is the true meaning of it?' Unfortunately, too many novels ignore this, and as a result, the modern novel heroically fights the tide of kitsch, only to be ruthlessly drowned out. ”

Li Re and Wang Hou looked at each other stunned, and then smiled in unison: "Old horse." Is it drunk, or is it a reciprocal offense?"

"Hear me out first. The reason why this question came to mind. It's because after watching a few episodes of "Xiao Shiyi Lang", there is a scene like lightning that illuminates a field that I have never explored before - the field of human nature's reflection on itself. The difference between humans and animals is that people are capable of thinking, reflecting on their own behavior, and reflecting on their own existence. So. When I saw Xiao Shiyi Lang holding the corpse of an insignificant passer-by, his eyes full of grief and indignation, and when I saw Xiao Shiyi Lang as a human being, standing on the position of a wolf defending the wolf and ridiculing the stupidity and cruelty of human beings, I was shocked to realize the true charm of the work of art. I suddenly realized: It turns out that over the years, I have been numbed by too many violent plots, so much so that I have forgotten that all the people who have lost their lives are essentially the same! Is it natural for the protagonist to kill people? Is it possible for a person with high martial arts skills to kill an opponent with low martial arts with confidence, and then talk and laugh with another protagonist of the opposite sex, and walk away? What is the difference between such a person and an animal? What is the difference between such a novel and garbage...... The more you talk about it, the farther it goes. In fact, I want to say that human beings have all kinds of pathologies in many ways, greed, cunning, and cruelty, but just as Pandora's box of disaster still leaves 'hope' in the end, human beings have the artifact of 'reflection'. Therefore, in the drama "Xiao Shiyi Lang", the protagonist Xiao Shiyi Lang has a very important sentence: 'After all, there are still more good people than bad people. ’”

The prince was a little dizzy when he heard this, shook his head and said speechlessly: "What is this? I didn't believe it yet, but I believe it now. This is a typical fan mentality, over-interpretation. A mysterious and mysterious martial arts drama actually makes you see so many great truths in life? If it is a masterpiece with a realistic theme, does it have to explore what the end of the universe is?"

Ma Shifu shook his head: "You know I didn't mean that." That's just my personal feeling, and maybe it wasn't his intention. But one thing we must note is that his creative philosophy has slowly begun to change from god to man. Whether it is Zhang Danfeng, Lian Nishang, or Guo Jing, they are actually very far away from normal people. The first two are perfect appearance, temperament, and martial arts, and the latter are flawless moral character, both of which are deified, and they are used to make ordinary people worship, respect, look up and exclaim. Of course, this is also in line with our Chinese habit of always liking to deify characters and even deify history. But starting with Yang Guo. He consciously narrowed the distance with ordinary people, Yang Guo himself is a person with obvious shortcomings, especially at the beginning, he is simply a problem teenager. And Xiao Shiyi Lang is even more so, he has no identity, and he is notorious, in the days when he first met Shen Bijun, his identity may always be exposed; Shen Bijun is someone else's wife, and his family background is also prominent, and his beauty is unparalleled. As a thief, as a prodigal son, and as duckweed, Shiyi Lang is absolutely unworthy, and this inferiority complex is deeply rooted in Xiao Shiyi Lang's heart and has become his main theme in the face of Shen Bijun. This difference in identity and status is like a mountain blocking two people and separating them in different worlds. Even if Xiao Shiyi Lang is heroic and uninhibited, he still can't step through this hurdle. He deliberately rejected Shen Bijun again and again, unwilling to confide in her, perhaps because he was afraid that the more he exposed, the deeper the hurt he suffered when he was finally abandoned. He has the love of men and women, and has a proud heart, but at the same time he also has a helpless inferiority complex, which makes Xiao Shiyi Lang look not so tall, but more real, more cute, and more like a real normal person......"

In front of the window, Heqinsheng unconsciously finished the wine on the plate, with a thoughtful expression.

Wang Hou's brows furrowed tightly, and he snorted: "To put it so well, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not disliked and criticized by many fans of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "Xiao Shiyi Lang" is not tepid?"

Li Re, who had not spoken, said: "Anything that progresses needs to have a process of acceptance. "Condor" itself is not popular, and there is no need to say more. Brother Wang, you said that "Xiao Shiyi Lang" is not popular, it means that you really pay too little attention to the Internet, maybe it is because of the style, maybe it is because of the schedule, there is no big explosion in the ratings for the time being, but the whole network has been turned upside down, the fire has cracked, and the fire has reached a new height that has never been seen before!"

Ma Shifu smiled at Li Re and said a little seriously: "It's also boring these days, I suddenly thought that Jin Boy has his own extremely high standards and perfect style in the creation of martial arts novels, but the martial arts dramas produced by his company are really just to attract attention and make money? As soon as "Changfeng" came out, the bodyguard martial arts classics reappeared, and how many martial arts practitioners were enlightened, understanding that there are no bad themes, only bad writing; From divinity to humanity, from looking up to looking up, is it just a coincidence?"

The three of them were all startled, and Heqin turned around violently, and said in disbelief: "You mean, he is deliberately giving his peers behind...... Directions?"

"I don't know if it's intentional. But this way is definitely the right one. You've been fighting with people for so long, have you met?"

He Qinsheng was stunned and shook his head.

"Neither did I. ”

Ma Shifu picked up his warm sleeves, lay down lazily, and narrowed his eyes: "But such a character, before burping, you still have to see it." ”

**********************

"You said that this "Xiao Shiyi Lang", broadcast so far, is it considered a fire? If you want to say that it is a big fire, the ratings are less than 2 now, but if you want to say that it is not popular, you can see and hear it everywhere you go, and your friends around you are watching and talking. I got up this morning to take the subway, good guy, at least three people around me watched "Xiao Shiyi Lang" on their mobile phones and tablets, and there were more than 100 million views a day on the Internet!

In the office of the advertising department of Hongli Satellite TV, everyone was cautiously discussing.

"To be honest, I don't understand it either. Under normal circumstances, there is a coefficient range for various popularity and ratings on the network, but this coefficient range is completely useless for "Xiao Shiyi Lang". But I look at the faces of our two directors in the morning, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Alas, it's only to blame that the above is too greedy, so many advertisers flocked to it before the broadcast, and the price was extremely high, so it was a one-shot deal, so I had to divide the advertising investment into two stages: the first 20 episodes and the last 20 episodes! In my opinion, this second stage is probably going to be blind. ”

"I won't be able to catch the blind. Although ratings are important, they are no longer the era of ratings. Especially, this time the situation is so subversive, and it explodes like this on the Internet, and the rave reviews will definitely feed back the ratings, sooner or later. I just don't know if those business owners and advertisers have the patience and foresight. I predict that today's investment results will not be less than 60 percent of the first stage in any case! It's just that one thing I really can't figure out, last year's "Changfeng Dart Game", which was also a martial arts game, was broadcast on the first day of the new year, and the ratings soared upward, and the fire penetrated half the sky, but this year's "Xiao Shiyi Lang" ratings growth has not been strong enough! If you want me to say, "Xiao" is much smarter and better looking than "Chang" in all aspects, how can this be?

"The two are too different, "Long Wind" is passionate, relaxed and chic, which is obviously more suitable for the Spring Festival family carnival than "Xiao Shiyi Lang". ”

"Well, that makes sense. I heard that Mr. Jin Liang originally suggested that the station could move "Xiao Shiyi Lang" to the Lantern Festival before broadcasting, but the station did not agree!"

"Ahh......h

As he was talking, the office door was slammed open by a gust of wind, and the two directors with red faces rushed in one after the other:

"Inform everyone of the good news! The second phase of "Xiao Shiyi Lang" has been successfully completed, and the total contract value has increased by 200% compared with the first stage! This month, everyone's bonus has been doubled!" (To be continued......)
