Chapter 1747 Unexpected and Strange

Remember in one second【】

The author of "Water Margin" is generally considered to be Shi Naian, but not all the stories in "Water Margin" are original to Shi Naian.

In fact, before "Water Margin" was written, there were already records about the uprising of Song Jiang and others, and there were many versions.

In addition, there are also a large number of stories about Song Jiang and others circulating among the people, and the content of the stories spread in different regions also has many differences in details.

Shi Naian collected these stories circulating in different regions, selected, processed, and re-created them, and then wrote this magnificent masterpiece "Water Margin".

Now, Li Fan is going to bring this work to the world.

…

Li Fan was still sorting out manuscripts in the study when Su Qing and Qin Yulin came back, followed by Qin Lie and Su Yilin.

Not only that, Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng also came.

Obviously, they are all here for Li Fan's upcoming new work.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" Qin Yulin called loudly as soon as he returned to the yard.

Li Fan smiled helplessly, stored the manuscript temporarily, got up and walked out of the study.

After going downstairs and walking to the courtyard, Qin Lie said: "I heard that in three days, you, my boy, will start serializing a new work, and it will be about ancient uprisings. This kind of work is not easy to create, you, boy I only need three days to come up with it, is that enough time?”

Li Fan laughed and said: "It took more than three days. I had roughly conceived it before. This time, Director Wang and Director Liu from CCTV came to me. It was just right."

Hearing what Li Fan said, Qin Lie and others nodded. Su Yilin asked again: "What is the name of the new work? Have you thought about it?"

Li Fandao: "The name has been decided, it's called "Water Margin"."

"Water Margin?" Qin Lie and others showed puzzled expressions. It was obvious that they did not quite understand the meaning of the title.

This is indeed a somewhat strange name.

Zheng Jie asked: "What is the explanation for the word 'Water Margin'?"

"Well," Li Fan said, "probably, maybe it means by the water, in the wild.

"

There was no way, Li Fan could only use words such as "probably" and "maybe".

Because the exact meaning of the word "Water Margin" has been controversial in previous lives.

The word "Water Margin" comes from the "Book of Songs Daya Mian", "The ancient Duke Danfu came to the court and led the Western Water Margin to Qixia."

What this sentence says is that Gu Gongtanfu, the ancestor of the Zhou tribe, who is also the grandfather of King Wen of Zhou, drove his horse early in the morning and led the tribe along the bank of the westward river to the foot of Qishan Mountain.

This was the beginning of the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, some people think that Shi Naian used "Water Margin" as the title of his book to compare the uprising of Song Jiang and others with the rise of the Zhou Dynasty, so as to affirm the fighting spirit of the heroes of the uprising against rule.

But this statement has always been controversial.

In addition, there is another saying that the original name of "Water Margin" was "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes".

At that time, Shi Naian had completed the creation of the work "The Legend of Jianghu Haogu". Shi Naian was very satisfied with the plot of the book, but he felt that the title of the book was not good.

Luo Guanzhong, Shi Naian's student, suggested that the book be called "Water Margin". Shi Naian was very happy when he heard it.

"Water Margin" means waterside, and has the meaning of "out in the wild". It also matches the allusion in "The Book of Songs" of "The ancient Gong Tanfu came to court and led the Western Water Margin, and as for Qixia", it is really wonderful. .

Therefore, Shi Naian officially changed the name of "The Legend of Jianghu Heroes" to "Water Margin".

Again, this statement is also controversial.

The true meaning of the word "Water Margin" may only become an unsolved mystery.

However, in this world, Qin Lie, Su Yilin, Zheng Jie, Liang Sheng and others all nodded after hearing Li Fan's explanation. They agreed very much with Li Fan's explanation.

Since it is about an uprising, it has the connotation of "being in the opposition", which is really appropriate.

Liang Shengdao: "You released this work after "Journey to the West". Outsiders will certainly compare "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West", and "Journey to the West" is too classic. This new work of yours is a lot of pressure. .”

Li Fan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West" are not the same type of works. It is difficult to define which of them is better? Who is worse? However, what is certain is that "Water Margin" is also It will become one of the most classic works like "Journey to the West"."

After hearing this, Su Qing and Qin Yulin couldn't help but roll their eyes. This guy still doesn't know how to be humble.

Qin Lie smiled and scolded: "When will you learn to be humble? But that's fine. I want to see how your "Water Margin" becomes a classic like "Journey to the West"?"

Li Fan chuckled and said, "Then, please log in to my Weibo at 10 a.m. in three days to see the updates."

Knowing that this would be the result, Qin Lie and others had no intention of saying anything more about it.

…

Li Fan has not released a new novel for some time since the completion of "Journey to the West".

The outside world is looking forward to Li Fan's new novel. When they discuss Gu Yong's work "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", they often mention Li Fan's new novel.

Countless people are eager to read Li Fan's new novel. They are very eager to see classic works like "Journey to the West" again.

^0^ Remember in one second【】

Many people are also speculating on what genre Li Fan's new work will be? Or what theme is it about?

Because Li Fan has made it clear that he will no longer launch works on gods and demons for the time being.

Therefore, the genre and subject matter of Li Fan's new works have become the focus of discussion among the outside world.

Now, they finally know the answer.

The official platform of CCTV announced a news to the outside world, mainly saying that the CCTV TV drama channel will film a TV series with the theme of ancient uprisings, and has reached a cooperation agreement with Li Fan.

Li Fan will create a novel specifically for this purpose, with the theme of ancient uprisings, and then CCTV TV drama channel will put it on the screen.

Li Fan's work is called "Water Margin" and will be officially serialized on his personal Weibo in three days.

After the official news from CCTV, Li Fan also announced relevant news on his personal Weibo and invited everyone to read it in three days.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the news spread throughout the entire network in a very short period of time.

Li Fan's new work turned out to be in cooperation with CCTV. This was very surprising to everyone, but they did not find it strange. Only authors like Li Fan and Gu Yong are qualified to cooperate with CCTV.

The theme of the new work turned out to be about an ancient uprising, which surprised everyone and felt a bit strange.

Because it is difficult for everyone to be interested in watching works with this kind of subject matter.

It is not surprising that CCTV wants to film such a TV series.

CCTV, even if it is an unpopular subject, sometimes it needs to be filmed.

To everyone's surprise, Li Fan actually agreed to CCTV's request for cooperation.

You know, most people have little interest in novels about uprisings.

What’s so cool about the uprising?

It is really surprising and strange that Li Fan actually wants to create a work with this theme.
