Chapter 690: A Chinese Ghost Story
Li Ke has made a lot of repertoire, and there are many classic plays stored in the library in his mind, "The Female Concubine", "Su Sanqi", "The Legend of the White Snake", "The Legend of the West Chamber", "Mu Guiying in Command", "The Case of Quanmei", "Dou E's Injustice" and so on.
These are regarded as literary and artistic treasures circulating in it, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is naturally one of them, as an adaptation of the Yue Opera "Nie Xiaoqian", based on "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a movie that Li Ke knows very well, and there are countless versions of A Chinese Ghost Story in later Hong Kong films.
Whether it is Wang Zuxian, or the fairy sister, or other female stars, the versions filmed have their own advantages, from the perspective of pure appreciation, Li Ke doesn't think who is good or bad, the classic is nothing more than the first version of the film and television drama with good quality, just call it a classic, that's all.
There are many reasons for the low rating of latecomers, unless it is really bad, Li Ke never takes the initiative to evaluate.
But Li Ke's "A Chinese Ghost Story" was naturally adapted on the basis of Yue Opera, first of all, it was not a drama version, but a stage play. In addition, the content has also changed, which is naturally different from the version that Li Ke has seen.
Because these things he took out also undertook different political tasks, the adaptation should naturally be adapted, and as for how to carry it forward in the future, it is not Li Ke's concern.
The ancients didn't have much entertainment, so after someone invented it, it would soon be carried forward by future generations, as long as Li Ke took out these things, there would naturally be descendants to study more classic repertoire later.
For example, Kunqu opera developed from the Qin dialect in history, and then quickly spread throughout China, and Yue, Sichuan, Guangdong, Henan, and Beijing all developed from this.
Li Ke is also preparing to take out the drama, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so take out all the cultural treasures, as for how to develop in the future, it is a matter for future generations, Li Ke doesn't care, he can't take care of it, he can't die in the underworld and continue to manage.
As the first batch of scripts to come out, Li Ke once thought about several, such as "Teahouse", as a classic stage play, "Teahouse" has a lot of meanings, and Li Ke can also adapt it, isn't it just the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, since the Tang Dynasty inherited the orthodoxy of China, then it can only be a black grandfather.
As a grandson, if you hack your grandfather, I guess he won't mind.
Besides, Li Ke can also beautify it to some extent, and his grandfather, although he said that he had it, was also meritorious, it was nothing more than a matter of Spring and Autumn brushwork. Of course, Li Ke can't wash it very white.
Black and white, black and white is good.
And the characters in the teahouse can find alternative characters, as long as the background is set in Chang'an City at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
This kind of thing, in fact, is similar in every era, especially at the end of the dynasty, it is really not an exaggeration to describe it as rampant.
Everyone is curious about the script Li Ke said.
As soon as Huo left, Li Ke turned to Sun Ying, and when he saw Li Ke's gaze projected, Sun Ying immediately became nervous, His Royal Highness wouldn't buy her Mingyue Tower, right? If you really want to buy ...... She can't be the master, she has to be the owner.
But presumably the owner ...... It is impossible to offend His Highness.
Li Ke looked at her, and then at these oirans, to be honest, these Qinglou women acted as actors, and Li Ke felt that there was no problem at all. How to say it, whether you can act or not depends on whether your life experience is rich, your life experience is rich enough, and there is no problem if you have not learned acting.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you have enough life experience to be able to perform perfectly, after all, some people may not be suitable for this in terms of personality.
But think about it, these Qinglou women, their knowledge is absolutely first-class in this era, and they are not afraid of acting, this is their norm, and they have seen enough big shots.
The experience is also rich enough.
Speaking of which, Li Ke lacks male actors.
If it is an old man, he can let Sun Zhenren make a cameo, for example, Fahai in "The Legend of the White Snake", Li Ke feels that there is no problem with Sun Zhenren's cameo, as for the problem that Sun Zhenren is a Taoist monk and a monk, this is also simple.
Based on Sun Zhenren's life experience, to be honest, imitating a master, it is definitely first-class.
"Shopkeeper Sun, what do you think of my business?" Li Ke suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Sun Ying was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you are ashamed of me, how can I have the right to evaluate you, in Chang'an City, Your Highness, you have a nickname, you are the God of Wealth." ”
Li Ke smiled, "How about we do a business together?" ”
"Huh?" Sun Ying was stunned, isn't this pie in the sky?
"Your Highness, you know that I don't have the right to make a decision, but you can say it, and I can tell the owner."
"It's nothing, what do you think of us setting up a Qinglou Industry Federation? Your family is setting up brokerage firms. Li Ke said with a smile.
"Brokers?" Sun Ying didn't understand.
"It's you who help these little ladies deal with some personal affairs, such as endorsement fees, for example, I invite the glass lady to give a performance to my business firm, and when the reputation of the glass lady is big enough, maybe a performance is 100,000 yuan, then the glass lady will be divided into fifty percent, and your economic business bank will be divided into fifty." Li Ke probably gave an example.
"This ...... Not so much. "Sun Ying is stupid, in fact, Qinglou now has this business, when some big commercial houses open, they will invite some Oiran of Qinglou to perform dance and music on the spot, and of course they give a lot of money, but it will definitely not reach 100,000, generally speaking, it is hundreds to 1,000.
After all, it's just a show.
"It's not up to you to decide, it's decided by the market, but there is a key point in this, that is, these little ladies are not selling themselves to your Qinglou, but signing a contract with you, and they can even change the contract at any time." Li Ke smiled.
"This ......" Sun Ying felt a little puzzled.
Huiyue Tower is not far from here, Li Ke and Sun Ying haven't finished talking, Huo Gang has already returned.
In addition to the script, the most gorgeous thing is naturally the costume, and a maid who followed it.
"Liuli lady, if you don't mind, let her help you change it out." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Yes." Helian Liuli smiled and saluted, then took her clothes and turned away with the maid.
After about a quarter of an hour, there was a noise from upstairs, as the replaced Helian glass came down the stairs.
Not only Li Ke's eyes lit up, everyone was stunned, even those women were no exception.
Probably after getting wet, imagine for yourself.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Li Ke nodded with satisfaction, there are several sets of costumes like this, this set is actually not the final version, Li Ke prefers the one with white as the main color, which will make the other party more pure.
