After the Lantern Festival, Zhang Chu and Zhang Jingchu were going to set off separately, Zhang Jingchu was going to Anyang to continue filming the movie "Peacock", and Zhang Chu set off to Shuzhong to join the crew of "Ambush on All Sides".

During this time, using the Internet as a platform, the video of the Spring Festival Gala hosted by Zhang Chu accelerated its spread.

As Zhang Chu expected, Wang Jinghua called him as soon as he learned the news.

chattered for a long time, and the final central idea was that the next CCTV Spring Festival Gala would send an invitation again, and I would weigh it carefully.

Although Zhang Chu's main focus is now on the big screen, it seems that he no longer needs to use the platform of CCTV.

However, CCTV is CCTV after all, even if it is not the same system as the film industry, it is not difficult to exert influence with the size of others.

And even if Zhang Chu really enters Hollywood, the domestic film market is his base camp.

So, the rest ......

Figure it out for yourself.

On the Internet, why Zhang Chu participated in the Spring Festival Gala of a county-level city also sparked heated discussions.

At first, it was all guesswork, and some people thought it was too much.

But this statement was immediately refuted by Zhang Chu's die-hard fans.

After all, if Zhang Chu is really a money-loving person, he can still take out all the shares in the endorsement contract with Hongxing Sports for charity.

My brother Chu is a person who can bend his waist for five buckets of rice?

Who to look down on!

There are still a lot of careful people, and soon someone discovered that the only possible connection between Zhang Chu and this party is Zhang Jingchu.

And Zhang Chu and Zhang Jingchu have cooperated in the TV series "Xiao Li Flying Knife" before.

One of the two plays the infatuated prodigal son, and the other plays the femme fatale, it is difficult for these two to continue the infatuation and sadomasochism in their play to real life.

This statement immediately caused a boycott from Zhang Chu's fans, and the reason for their boycott was very simple.

Zhang Chu, who has gone international, why is there a little-known Zhang Jingchu standing next to him.

Just when this matter was being hyped up, Zhang Chu had already arrived in Shuzhong.

Regarding the fans' attacks on Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Chu naturally will not turn a blind eye.

Soon Hongxing Sports issued a statement, and Zhang Jingchu signed a contract to become its brand spokesperson.

Now people stopped, Zhang Chu and Zhang Jingchu did not respond publicly throughout the whole process, but Zhang Jingchu's signing of Hongxing Sports is enough for people to make up for it.

"Director Zhang!"

As soon as he arrived at the hotel where the crew was staying, Zhang Chu came to see Zhang Yimou for the first time.

What surprised him a little was that what Zhang Yimou was holding in his hand was not the script of "Ambush on All Sides", but a copy of "Book of Jin".

Zhang Chu is no stranger to this book, the one that Xiaoma bought for him has been turned over and is about to fall apart.

"Ambush on All Sides" is about to start, Zhang Yimou still has the leisure to study this?

"I like to look at it when I'm fine."

Obviously, Zhang Yimou still hasn't let go of his dream, the dream about the martial mourning king Ran Min.

Therefore, dreams also have priority, and martial arts dreams should stand aside obediently before the martial arts mourning king.

"Xiao Zhang, are you still watching it during this time?"

"Of course, I'm still waiting for your script."

Zhang Chuke took Zhang Yimou's dream to heart.

Zhang Yimou smiled: "The words of the script...... I wrote one edition, and I asked someone else to write several editions, but, to be honest, I was not very satisfied. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou looked up at Zhang Chu.

"It's okay anyway, or ...... Let's study and study. ”

Study?

What to study?

Ran Min?

"I can't talk about research, if Director Zhang is interested, we can talk."

Zhang Yimou nodded, picked up the landline on the bedside table and made a call, and someone came in after a while.

Liquor, peanuts, pig's head meat, and several spicy goods with special characteristics in Shuzhong.

Zhang Yimou is also a particular person, how can he talk without wine? If you have wine or no meat to talk about eggs, you have to prepare everything.

"Eating and chatting, Xiao Zhang, according to your ideas, from which angle should you interpret Ran Min?"

Zhang Chu pinched a piece of pig's head meat, threw it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and the taste was a little worse, not as authentic as Tianfu.

"It's simple, analyze it from his nickname."

Posthumous name?

Mourning the Heavenly King?

"Let's first make it clear who gave him the nickname of Wu Mourning Heavenly King, a Xianbei person."

Zhang Yimou nodded.

"Generally speaking, the nicknames given by the enemy are evil in most cases, such as Emperor Yang of Sui and King Shang, but it can be seen behind the nickname of King Wu Mourning that even the Xianbei people, who are enemies, have sympathy and respect for Ran Min."

Zhang Yimou felt that Zhang Chu's statement was very fresh: "You have to be more detailed. ”

Zhang Chu continued: "The so-called martial arts refer to strong force, symbolizing the majesty and strategy, such as King Wuling of Zhao, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, etc., which is considered a beautiful word, and "mourning" is the meaning of sympathy, which is extended to grief and sorrow, such as the king of Chu mourning, the prince of Jin mourning, etc. The term Tianwang is used to describe the Son of Heaven in the Zhou Dynasty, but since Qin Shi Huang, the title of emperor is mostly used as emperor. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Chu took a sip of his wine glass,

"However, the Xianbei people gave Ran Min the nickname of the King of Heaven, which together means: the powerful and sympathetic Son of Heaven."

Zhang Yimou also raised his glass: "You mean, this story focuses on Ran Min's strong force, and the tragedy at the end?" Plus the Xianbei people who were subdued? ”

"This is Ran Min's most important trait, but if you simply deduce Ran Min around these two points, Director Zhang, do you think it's enough?"

Zhang Yimou thought for a moment and shook his head.

"It's a bit of a point, what do you think should be the focus?"

Zhang Chu smiled: "It depends on whether Director Zhang plans to rehabilitate Ran Min, or whether he plans to restore a real Ran Min in history." ”

Zhang Yimou understood what Zhang Chu meant, and the chapter of history about Ran Min has always been secretive.

It can not only write a big book about Ran Min's efforts to turn the tide when the northern Han nation was about to disappear, but also denounce him for his crime of indiscriminately killing "innocents".

In recent years, some people have even been ashamed to say that the existence of Ran Min has hindered the great integration of nationalities.

Whoever says this should be slashed with a thousand knives.

If it is said that the great integration of ethnic groups that these people think is that they are eaten by the Hu people as two-legged sheep, then it is really a "big" integration.

It's all fused into.

Far from it.

However, it is precisely because of these merits and demerits that Ran Min has always lacked a definitive conclusion in history.

What kind of person is he?

"Xiao Zhang, what is your opinion?"

"Right and wrong, let people evaluate for themselves, what we have to do is to restore a real Ran Min."

What is the real Ran Min?

Let's start with his death.

Why did the Xianbei people give their enemy Ran Min a nickname?

According to the record of the Book of Jin: Jun sent Min to Longcheng and beheaded in the containment of the mountain. The grass and trees are withered for seven miles on the left and right of the mountain, and the locusts are big up, and there is no rain in May, as for December. Jun sent a messenger to worship him, and said that Wu mourned the king of heaven, and it snowed heavily.

Although there are some myths, this is recorded in the history books after all, that is, after Ran Min was killed, all the grass and trees within the surrounding seven miles withered, locusts bred in large numbers, and there was no rain since May, and there was no snow until December.

The Xianbei people interpreted this phenomenon as Ran Min's killing offended the heavens, so Murong Jun sent a messenger to worship Ran Min and gave him the nickname "King of Martial Mourning".

After the festival was over, heavy snow fell.

Look, the fate of Ran Min, the king of martial mourning, is really peculiar.

Looking back at his life, at the beginning, he lived in the darkest period of history as the adopted son of a Xianbei people, that is, the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

At that time, the Han regime in the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Hu people, and the remaining Han people had to cross south to Gou'an, and Ran Min's father Ran Liang was adopted by the Hu people.

At that time, it was very common for the Hu people to adopt Han people as adopted sons in the north where the Hu and Han lived together.

Before Ran Min was born, his life had already been defined.

As an adopted son, his identity is both Han and Qian, because of his courage and good fighting, he soon stood out in the Later Zhao regime and became a general under Shi Hu.

Later, as the Later Zhao regime fell into internal strife because of the issue of inheritance, Ran Min was named an auxiliary general for his merits, and gradually grasped the military and political power.

"At this point, Ran Min's identity is still just a minister, and everything he does is to consolidate his rights."

After Ran Min took power, there were internal struggles and contradictions.

Emperor Hu has been trying to get rid of the puppet identity, and has sent people to assassinate Ran Min many times, but they have not succeeded, and can only be secretly afraid.

In order to consolidate his position, Ran Min directly exterminated the Shi family.

This kind of behavior was a great rebellion in terms of the morality of the time.

After all, the Shi family has the grace of nurturing him, and the two sides are still monarchs and ministers.

Since Ran Min was a Han Chinese, and there were many Hu people in high positions in the Later Zhao regime, the Hu people were dissatisfied with Ran Min's rule.

In order to prevent the overthrow of his own forces, Ran Min issued an order: "Those who dare to speak of the staff of the six internal and external Yi will be beheaded." ”

"This order is not actually a killing order, the Liuyi mentioned by Ran Min is a collective term for the Wuhu and Han people, which means that as long as you don't take up arms, you won't be harmed. At this point, Ran Min's attitude towards the Hu people is still to strive for cooperation. ”

Zhang Yimou nodded again and again, he didn't expect Zhang Chu to have such a detailed grasp of this history.

According to his analysis, Ran Min's attitude towards Hu Ren has undergone a series of changes

So since when did Ran Min completely stand on the opposite side of the Hu people?

Far from escaping the contradictions, Ran Min's orders caused even greater conflicts, and the existence of a mixed Hu and Han population in the Later Zhao regime led to the intensification of internal contradictions.

So, Ran Min issued another order: those who are single-minded with him can stay, and those who are not with him can leave. As a result, the city gates were opened, the guard was lifted, and a peculiar scene occurred, in which the Han people within a hundred miles poured into the city, while the Hu people in the city all fled outside the city. ”

Zhang Yimou has also seen this paragraph.

"From here, the cooperation went to opposition?"

Zhang Chudao: "That's right, the two different attitudes of the Han people and the Hu people illustrate the identity, Ran Min's Han identity has made him recognized and supported by the Han people, while the Hu people feel fear, this is the Hu-Han antagonism." ”

It wasn't until this time that Ran Min began to understand that it was impossible for the Hu people to be used by him, and the only people he could rely on were the Han people. As a result, Ran Min issued a very controversial order: behead a Hu person and send it to Fengyangmen, all civil officials will be promoted to the third rank, and the military position will be appointed to Yamen. ”

This is the real "Killing Hu Order".

This order led to the death of countless Hu people, and almost all of them, men and women, young and old, were beheaded.

According to historical records, more than 200,000 people died, and their bodies were scattered outside the city, all of which were devoured by wild dogs and jackals.

In fact, Ran Min's order to kill Hu did not have such a great impact at the time, but it was exaggerated by later generations.

In that dark period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, there were too many killings like this to count, and hundreds of thousands of Han people were killed in the Yongjia Rebellion.

But it was only mentioned in the history books, why was Ran Min killed Hu and held on?

In the final analysis, it was because he used to be a courtier of the Shi family.

In fact, what Ran Min did was nothing more than to survive in the midst of the war, and if he didn't kill the enemy, he would be killed by the enemy.

"To a certain extent, Ran Min and Xiang Yu have similarities, they are both heroic and invincible commanders on the battlefield, but they have no matching talent in politics, they only know how to move forward bravely, and they only know how to kill people above the court."

"But it cannot be denied that Ran Min is a hero, at least on the battlefield, the spirit of resistance he shows, the will to resist in the face of death, and the fighting spirit of not fearing strong enemies, which are undoubtedly the embodiment of the blood of the Han people."

Ran Min's life experience is full of contradictions and suffering, and he doesn't know how to get rid of his fate.

He can't change his identity, so he can only survive in the troubled times.

However, the spirit and courage shown by Ran Min are still worthy of admiration.

Simply evaluating whether Ran Min is a hero or a tyrant is actually not important.

His life was full of merits and demerits, and for history, he was nothing more than an ordinary king.

For the Han Chinese in the north at that time, he did protect them, at least for a short time.

"Take a real Ran Min?"

Zhang Yimou hesitated, he liked the character of Ran Min because he worshipped him as a big hero.

However, if, as Zhang Chu said, peel back the fog of history and show a real Ran Min, can it be accepted by people?

Just as he was about to say more, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll be here today, and we'll talk again when we have time, Xiao Zhang, no matter what kind of Ran Min I'm going to shoot in the future, no one can be more suitable than you."

With that, he got up and went to open the door.

"Ziyi, here!"

Zhang Chu was about to take the wine glass for a meal.

Zhang Ziyi has arrived!
