11. "After the Sun and Moon"
The development of this world is different from the development of the history books that Yang Tuo has read, but there are some plausible and paradoxical places, for example, those famous martial arts novel authors do not exist, but some martial arts novels with similar storylines still come out.
Yang Tuo did not compare and study the development process of history, since he has turned a corner from the seventeen-year history of Chongzhen, the life and death of countless people have changed.
In the past ten years, there has been a rise to remake these famous martial arts novels into TV series, among which Jin Lanfeng's martial arts novels are the most, because his martial arts novels are built on the real historical dynasties, and the stories also complement each other with historical backgrounds.
Director Ma Yicheng wants to shoot a new drama that is "After the Sun and Moon" written by Jin Lanfeng.
For Yang Tuo, the professional courses of the computer science department are a piece of cake, and he devotes more time to the library, reading all kinds of books, in order to understand the world more comprehensively. He made a preliminary plan for his future development in film and television, and after chatting with Zou Mingming and Biaozi, he vaguely felt that he could enter the Tao with martial arts and start his acting career with martial arts dramas.
This assumption is not unreasonable, today's computer stunts are still developing, and adapting martial arts novels into TV series is entering a boom period, for the selection of roles, those directors are more inclined to powerful actors, this strength includes three aspects: acting skills, appearance, martial arts skills.
Yang Tuo has watched several martial arts dramas with a good reputation, and he found that the actors in these TV series have more or less some fist and foot skills, especially the characters in the novels, the actors who play them can at least put on a show, rather than lying on their stomachs and not watching at all.
Yang Tuo also learned from Biaozi that the protagonists and supporting roles in those martial arts dramas with a good reputation have undergone a period of martial arts training, especially Director Ma Yicheng, who has a good relationship with the martial arts novel master Jin Lanfeng, and he has high requirements for actors. filmed Jin Lanfeng's "White Eagle" trilogy one after another, the screenwriter was Jin Lanfeng himself, and Ma Yicheng's Qiankun Film and Television also invested a lot of money, and these three dramas dominated the TV screen for three consecutive years and achieved good results.
And there has already been a rumor released, and Ma Yicheng is going to continue to shoot Jin Lanfeng's martial arts novel "After the Sun and Moon", this novel is Jin Lanfeng's last martial arts novel, which is not quite the same as his previous style.
Yang Tuo feels that Ma Yicheng's new drama is an opportunity for him, watching Director Ma's casting doesn't care about using newcomers, as long as this newcomer has strength, and the three films filmed by Director Ma have become popular with several newcomers one after another. Of course, because of this, the number of people who want to act in Director Ma's new drama is bound to increase, and the competition will become more intense.
Since he wants to seize this opportunity, of course Yang Tuo has to do his homework, he read Jin Lanfeng's martial arts novels, and also watched Ma Yicheng's three TV series, he found that it may be because Jin Lanfeng personally adapted the script, plus Director Ma's strict casting relationship, these three TV series have two characteristics, the first is almost the same as the original work, and the second is that these actors are very suitable for the role, even if Director Ma uses some actors when the outside world is not optimistic, but if they really act, you can see that the fit is very high, and I don't know if it is good acting or true colors.
Yang Tuo still had some wonderful feelings after reading it, Jin Lanfeng had some connections with the works of Master Jin that he had read. This is not an isolated case, and several other martial arts masters can also find similar characters in another historical trajectory.
For example, this "White Eagle" trilogy is somewhat similar to the "Condor Shooting" trilogy in that world, of course, it is only similar, not the same.
However, "After the Sun and Moon" to be filmed now is a different work, its background is in the Chongzhen period, and it is also the era of a complete turn in the history of this world, and it is the last martial arts novel of Jinlanfeng. As far as Jin Lanfeng is concerned, it is also because Chongzhen changed the year name to Ge. New, firearms began to rise, the era of cold weapons was over, and those martial arts kung fu were also submerged in history.
Although Jin Lanfeng's previous novels are related to the historical background, they are not too involved with the imperial court, but this "After the Sun and Moon" is different, its story unfolds along the desperate situation and rebirth of the Ming Dynasty, it is not only a martial arts novel, but also a historical novel of jokes.
Different from the previous martial arts stories written by Jin Lanfeng, the protagonist of this novel, Kui Han, was born in Xiucai, he is a genius reader, he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve, and his father was an official in the court. Kui Han's original life trajectory has nothing to do with the rivers and lakes, according to common sense, he will gain fame step by step and become an official in the court.
Kui Han was admitted to Xiucai in the tenth year of Chongzhen, he was an ambitious person, he saw the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and wanted to change the Ming Dynasty step by step, but the more he knew, Kui Han found that maybe the Ming Dynasty wanted to prosper, and the civil official group of the Manchu Dynasty was a big resistance.
Kui Han was confused, and at this time, the Kui family was involved in the party struggle and was defeated. Kui Han followed his father and wanted to leave the capital and return to his hometown, but he was stopped by robbers on the road, and the entire Kui family was killed except for him.
Kui Han fell into a cliff, and according to the law of immortality in martial arts novels, he also survived. However, there was a scar on the left side of his face, so it was impossible to re-enter the court as an official, of course, after the changes in his family, he had already stopped wanting to continue to stay in the officialdom.
The man who saved Kui Han was a man in red, who wore a mask made of gold, and his martial arts were unfathomable. After experiencing life and death, Kui Han decided to abandon literature and martial arts, he had already lost his family, and he was unwilling to be a farmer again, so he chose to enter the rivers and lakes that were once far away from him, and wanted to leave behind the past and start over.
The man in red did not agree to accept Kui Han as an apprentice, and saving him was just a whim, but he saw that Kui Han was a wizard who practiced martial arts, so he told Kui Han that if he really wanted to practice martial arts, it would be better to go to the Wuyue sect to try, those five sects are famous and decent sects will regularly accept disciples from the outside world, and it is not difficult to get started with Kui Han's qualifications.
Kui Han was only fourteen years old at the time, and at that time he didn't know that there were very few grandmasters in this world who surpassed the red-clothed people, and there was only one grandmaster in the world who had reached the realm of transformation at such a young age as the red-clothed man. If it weren't for the man in red that Kui Han encountered, he wouldn't have been able to come back from the ghost gate at all.
The man in red did not agree to teach him martial arts, and he was a little disappointed, but he quickly collected his mood and went to the Wuyue Sect to wait for the opportunity.
Kui Han finally entered the Huashan faction, he met the benevolent master, to him like a mother's wife, the elf's eccentric little sister, and the shy little junior brother, in the three years in Huashan he was also as the red man predicted, martial arts all the way high, became the strongest in the young area.
The three years of happy life seem to have erased the scars in Kui Han's heart, and people can also let go of the sadness of the past in happiness, and he feels that he can let go of the past. He also fell in love with the little junior sister and wanted to marry her, and then the Huashan faction became another home in his life.
But the situation changed abruptly, and news came from the little brother's family that the family was wiped out by the Tartars, and at this moment, Kui Han broke through the master's secret, and it was the master who killed the little brother's family, for the sake of of course, martial arts secrets. Kui Han was framed as a traitor to Huashan, he escaped from Huashan and fell into the rivers and lakes, it turned out that the happiness of the past three years was not broken as soon as the mirror flowers and water moon poked.
Kui Han was seriously injured, and at this time he met the man in red again, and the man in red saved him a second time. Kui Han wanted to worship the man in red again, but was rejected again, this time the man in red pointed out a way out for him again, it is better to go to Peach Blossom Island to see, maybe he can have a harvest.
For this unknown red-clothed man, Kui Han subconsciously had a good impression, thinking that he would not harm himself, so it was better to break through. And this time he entered the rivers and lakes, it was the first time that Kui Han saw the true face of the rivers and lakes, there is chivalrous tenderness, but there is also intrigue. And the situation is becoming more and more unstable, there are Tartars outside the pass, there are continuous uprisings in the pass, and natural disasters are staged one after another, Kui Han finally remembered his original intention of abandoning literature and martial arts, he has never forgotten the desire of his heart, and wants to change such a crumbling Ming Dynasty.
Kui Han wants to unite all the major factions in the rivers and lakes to fight against the Tartars, and in order to achieve this goal, he finally grows up step by step, and is no longer the naïve boy he used to be. Among them, Kui Han has had a lot of adventures, and he has also obtained the profound secrets left by his predecessors, and has stepped into the realm of a first-class master, and the scars on his face have completely healed with the profound martial arts, but he has restored a handsome face, and he can no longer change that young heart.
Kui Han also learned that the so-called famous and decent people had actually hidden dirt, and the Western Demon Sect, which was very terrible in the eyes of everyone, might be the last pure land in the world. The leader of the Demon Sect is undefeated in the West, his martial arts are world-famous, and his origin is unpredictable, and it is very likely that he is the man in red who saved him several times.
Yang Tuo read this book "After the Sun and the Moon", the sun and the moon are bright, and it is the most strange and dangerous period of the Ming Dynasty.
The story has two lines, one bright and one dark, one line is Kui Han's experience, from his 12 years old to his 42 years old, from the precarious Ming Dynasty to the resurrection of Emperor Chongzhen to recover the mountains and rivers. And the dark line is on the body of the man in red who is undefeated in the West, is he the big devil, or the secret guardian of the Ming Dynasty, why did he appear in the capital many times, and why did he save Kui Han many times but was unwilling to teach him martial arts?
