Chapter 1181 Da Ming is not dead, but "Peach Blossom Fan" is out
Marin originally wanted to pass "Peach Blossom Fan", but then his heart moved, and finally decided to keep "Peach Blossom Fan". However, the plot of the fall of the Ming Dynasty must not be written, otherwise it is looking for death.
Therefore, when Ma Lin wrote "Peach Blossom Fan", he changed the Ming Dynasty to the Dakang Dynasty and Nanjing to Jiankang......
Also, Fuwang Zhu was changed from Song to Kang Song, and Chongzhen Zhu was changed from inspection to Kang inspection. However, Chongzhen's year name has not changed, anyway, Chongzhen has not been born yet. And with Marin's intervention, it is unknown whether Chongzhen's grandfather can appear.
Therefore, Ma Lin only changed the name of the Ming Dynasty and the name of the Ming Dynasty royal family, which had very distinctive characteristics. Everything else, not much has changed. Even, the names of many people in the play should not be. Anyway, none of them were born, and it didn't matter if Marin wrote it directly.
For example, the names of Hou Fangyu, Ruan Dacheng, Wei Zhongxian, Ma Shiying and others, Ma Lin has not changed a word. Anyway, these people's grandfathers haven't been born yet.
However, the name of the heroine Li Xiangjun was changed to Li Qinger by Ma Lin, so as to make Li Qinger famous. And in this way, in the future, if other famous female branches want to act in this play, they must first pretend to be Li Qing'er, which is undoubtedly to boost Li Qing'er's fame......
Then, Ma Lin also revised Kong Shangren's political views in the play. Among them, he added the plot of the Donglin Party fooling Chongzhen but his own fierce corruption, and also focused on adding the plot that when Chongzhen was hanged on the coal mountain, only the eunuch Wang Chengen was accompanied. When Chongzhen hanged himself, the "gentlemen" of the Donglin Party all went to greet King Chuang......
And in the original book, this point is not written. Because, Kong Shangren is also a descendant of the literati of the Donglin Party faction. According to the normal thinking of the Donglin Party, Kong Shangren put the pot of the demise of the Ming Dynasty on the head of Wei Zhongxian, as well as the heads of Wei Zhongxian's remnants, Ruan Dacheng and others.
When the Ming Dynasty fell, Lao Wei had been dead for more than ten years, and he had to carry the black cauldron, Ma Lin felt that he was too wronged, so he rehabilitated him in the play......
At the same time, Ma Lin also focused on the problem of collusion between the civilian and merchant groups in the southeast region to hollow out the corners of the Dakang Dynasty. Then he also described the fact that after Li Zicheng broke the capital, he exceeded 70 million taels of silver from the minister's house. Before that, Chongzhen wanted to borrow millions of taels from the ministers but couldn't borrow them, and watched the Dakang Dynasty fall......
……
However, Marin was simply heartbroken in these scenes he added. After all, although he was a liberal arts student in his previous life, he was not proficient in ancient literature and did not know how to write lyrics.
You must know that Lao Kong's "Peach Blossom Fan" is famous because the lyrics in it are very classic, enough to be handed down to the world.
For example, one of the most classic passages, "Mourning Jiangnan", was used in middle school Chinese textbooks in later generations, and Ma Lin memorized it. Look at other people's writing -
"I once saw the warbler crying in the Jinling Jade Palace, and the flowers in the Qinhuai Water Pavilion bloomed early, who knew that it would be easy to freeze! Seeing him raise the Zhu Tower, seeing him feast guests, seeing his building collapse! This moss and green tile pile, I once slept and slept well, and I saw the rise and fall of fifty years. That Wuyi Lane is not surnamed Wang, the ghost of Mochou Lake cries at night, and the phoenix perches on the owl bird. The dream of the remnant mountain is the truest, the old realm is difficult to lose, I don't believe in this map change! A set of "Mourning Jiangnan", singing sadly until old age. ”
……
Such beautiful lyrics, Marin himself could not compose. Even later generations of literature professors are difficult to write. Therefore, Marin thought about it, so he had to write most of the scenes he added as narration. In this way, you can also cover up the weakness of your poor level of ancient Chinese.
But there are some parts that must be sung. Otherwise, it's too embarrassing......
Then, Ma Lin had no choice but to ask Li Qing'er, a real talented girl, to help think of the lyrics. Fortunately, Li Qing'er has a good foundation in ancient literature, and reluctantly helped him think of a set of lyrics. However, compared with the original "Peach Blossom Fan", the forced style is still a little lower......
But no matter what, Marin's revised version of "Peach Blossom Fan" is finally out. And after Li Qing'er read it, tears flowed. Obviously, Li Qinger was also seriously infected by the sad and gloomy style of "Peach Blossom Fan".
Then, Li Qing'er looked for Ma Lin with tears in her eyes to settle the account:
"Why is this play so sad? Can't it be changed to a happy ending? ”
Marin shook his head and said:
"Tragedy is unforgettable, classic enough. If it is forcibly changed to a comedy, it will fall into the inferior ......"
Li Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and her eyes looking at Ma Lin were suddenly full of admiration......
In fact, Marin just casually said something that would appear on the Internet in later generations......
……
In addition, in this "Peach Blossom Fan", Ma Lin adopts the Yue Opera singing method. Yue Opera was rated as the second largest opera after Peking Opera in later generations, and its status was higher than that of Huangmei Opera.
Moreover, Yue Opera is a drama dominated by women, and even the male protagonist often pretends to be a woman. His singing voice is also very Jiangnan characteristics, and his literary and artistic style is very sufficient.
Of course, Ma Lin has only heard the Yue Opera version of "Peach Blossom Fan", and he listened to it eight times in a row, and he almost heard the shadows psychologically......
In addition, it should be pointed out that the women-dominated Yue opera is mainly singing, and there are few action scenes. Unlike Peking Opera, there are a lot of action scenes, which are also very lively, and there are many unique skills. Therefore, Peking Opera should be more popular.
But for Li Qing'er, a weak woman, Yue Opera is the most suitable way for her to perform. After all, she was not born in the Peking Opera troupe of later generations, and Li Qinger didn't know anything just about somersaults and using weapons. Therefore, it is more appropriate to perform a more literate Yue opera. Otherwise, just the somersault in Peking Opera can stump Li Qinger.
And Wu Yue's Yue opera, which has strong characteristics, is also very popular with the women of Qinglou. After all, this kind of soft nong's singing style is not difficult to sing. And, it's nice to hear.
The famous female branches of Qunfang Pavilion, like Li Qing'er, are not professionals who have practiced hanging their voices since childhood. Let them sing Peking Opera, they will definitely not be able to do it. After all, people sing Peking Opera, but they are skilled people who have practiced hanging their voices since childhood.
And the soft singing method of Yue Opera does not require too solid singing skills. Therefore, this drama directly allowed the women of Qunfang Pavilion to participate with great enthusiasm.
As for the heroine, it is naturally the top Li Qing'er who is strongly supported by Ma Lin. Moreover, in order to praise her, the heroine's name was changed from Li Xiangjun to Li Qing'er. Since then, Li Qing'er's name has been difficult to become popular in Daming......
At this time, it was already late August, and there was not much time left before the Double Ninth Festival. As a result, many famous female branches of Qunfang Pavilion, including Li Qing'er, participated in the rehearsal of Ma Linmo's revised version of "Peach Blossom Fan" with great enthusiasm, intending to make a splash at the Oiran Selection Conference of the Ninety-Nine Double Ninth Festival......
