Chapter 591 The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Premieres!
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
The attention this TV series has received and the intensity of its official publicity must be the largest ever.
According to the current broadcast preview, starting from June 21st, CCTV and major satellite TVs will broadcast three episodes in a row every night, which cannot be said to be ignored.
Moreover, according to official publicity and an exclusive interview with the original author, Lao Ze, the work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been defined as a "must-see work for the people of Xiazhou" that is suitable for all ages.
This epic film, which spans almost half of China's entertainment industry, has cost hundreds of millions, and has millions of people participating in it, is finally approaching its broadcast date.
Before the broadcast, there is something interesting.
That is, many video bloggers are trying to popularize some stories and historical facts about the "Three Kingdoms Period" to their viewers in advance, but they are resisted by many viewers.
For the audience, they do not want to know what is happening in the story in advance. They want to follow the stories in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series to understand and feel the stories of these historical figures and the rise and fall of the dynasty.
After watching the TV series, go back and learn about this period of history, and look at the popular science of historical video bloggers. What are the historical facts of this period? How much artistic processing did Lin Qiu and the old thief do, etc. .
If you knew the plot and outcome in advance, watching the TV series would be much less fun.
The reason why this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is so attractive to the audience is that there is no famous book about the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in this world. Most of the understanding of the Three Kingdoms period is limited to a few records in history textbooks.
It can be said that in this world, Liu Chan is more famous than Zhuge Liang. After all, Liu Chan has a story about being happy and reluctant to miss Shu, and he is also the king of subjugation. Zhuge Liang is just a counselor.
This is not difficult to understand. Without reading the information, if you look back and think about it, will the audience know who the most powerful counselor is in the Song Dynasty?
Who was the most powerful counselor in the Ming Dynasty?
I'm afraid not one out of ten people knows.
That's the truth.
…
With the company of "Slam Dunk", all the young students felt that this semester was passing by so fast, and it passed by in a flash.
In mid-June, major universities, primary and secondary schools start their summer vacation one after another, and the weather gradually changes from spring to summer, and it gets hotter!
On such a hot day, let alone ordinary people, even those who love sports will probably only go out to exercise after the sun goes down, and spend the rest of the time lying in the air-conditioned room.
"Guigui, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been promoted overseas this time."
"With Lin Qiu and the old thief, the heat is also high."
"We have cooperated with the Netflix platform in Mizhou and will be broadcast simultaneously in Mizhou."
"It would definitely not be possible with other Xiazhou works."
Every day when they see the hype surrounding "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the audience is stunned and filled with anticipation.
Officials simply cannot be too satisfied with the final presentation of this work. It is both a wonderful TV series and a historical novel that can introduce a small piece of Xiazhou's five thousand years of magnificent history!
Just as the audience said, it would be impossible for other producers to have such popularity. The key is Lin Qiu + the old thief!
The current influence of these two people in the Kyushu world can be said to be the top two in Xiazhou. In addition, they are at their peak and joining forces. How can such a work not be exciting?
…
In the blink of an eye, June 21st arrived.
After all-out publicity during this period, it can be said that people in their 70s and 80s, as well as children in their teens, all know that there is a very exciting TV series to be broadcast in Xiazhou that is suitable for all ages.
In addition, it was during the summer vacation. After dinner, every family in Xiazhou sat leisurely on the sofa, served fruits, ice cream and cola, and eagerly waited for the premiere of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Except for some viewers who "make up lessons" in advance, most viewers' understanding of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is at a very superficial stage, but everyone has a common understanding, that is, this TV series is 100% impossible. Difference! !
"Hasn't there been such an influential TV series in Xiazhou for a long time?"
"It has spread throughout Xiazhou before it even spreads."
"You can't pull it off, can you?"
"Impossible... When did the old thief's original work come out?"
For many young people, the word "old thief" is a guarantee of the quality of their works! !
"It's time."
"Three episodes a day, I'll go. CCTV has reserved all its prime time slots for "Three Kingdoms"!"
"Too much importance."
"Coming!"
"This theme song is too heroic and serious."
"I'll go!"
…
At 7:35, as soon as the news broadcast ended, CCTV and major satellite TV stations simultaneously started the premiere of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was an extremely rare scene in the history of Xiazhou TV dramas.
No matter how you adjust the channel, most stations are broadcasting this TV series, forcing some viewers who were not interested to stop curiously to see what kind of TV series it is.
"The rolling water of the Yangtze River flows eastward——"
"The waves wipe out all the heroes——"
"Success or failure is gone, but the green mountains are still there."
"A few sunsets are red, and white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river."
"I'm used to looking at the autumn moon and the spring breeze, and I'm happy to meet you with a pot of turbid wine."
"So many things in ancient and modern times are all talked about in a joke——"
For the singing of the theme song, Lin Qiu invited teacher Yu Lei to sing.
Teacher Yu Lei sang Lin Qiu's "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" in the "Sanzhou Song Festival" in the early days of Lin Qiu's debut. The tone was rich and powerful, and the feeling of singing it was shocking!
The lyrics of the song "The Rolling Yangtze River Passes East" were not written by the lyricist, but by Yang Shen, a writer of the Ming Dynasty. The tone is generous and tragic, and the meaning is endless. It is soul-stirring to read and can't help but add thousands of emotions to the heart.
These classic lyrics, coupled with music, naturally have a different artistic conception.
"I'll go! This scene! Isn't it too big?"
"I'm already getting excited!"
"+1!"
While the theme song was being sung, some scenes from the drama flashed on the TV, many of which were grand scenes of ancient wars. The audience was filled with excitement, and when this heroic song ended, [Episode 1: The words "Three Brothers in Taoyuan" appeared on the dark screen.
The story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has officially begun!
…
[Speaking of the general trend of the world, if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide. 】
[During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Five Hegemons fought for supremacy; during the Warring States Period, the Seven Hegemons stood side by side. 】
[After more than five hundred years of disputes and wars, they were finally unified under Qin. 】
The TV series begins with a narration. This narration actually has the same meaning as the original work, but has been changed into vernacular.
The original text of the original work is: [Speaking of the general trend of the world, if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide. The seven kingdoms fought over the weekend and merged with Qin. After the fall of Qin, Chu and Han fought separately and merged with Han. 】
After all, it is a TV series, and with such a wide audience, it is impossible for many viewers to not understand it.
"The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
Many viewers chanted.
With the introduction of the narration, the audience gradually learned what the background of this era was.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were in power and the people were in dire straits. The people were in dire straits and had no food to eat, and they even exchanged their sons for food.
In the first year of Emperor Zhongping's reign, Taiping Taoist Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Uprising with the slogan "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand". The officers and soldiers were frightened for a while!
There were many responders to the Yellow Turban Uprising that swept across the Central Plains.
In order to resist the Yellow Turban Army, the governor of Youzhou went out to recruit volunteers. The story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" officially begins here!
…
"What a cool slogan!"
"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"
"So handsome..."
"I know about Zhang Jiao, it's in the textbook."
The audience's attention is obviously multi-faceted. In Xiazhou history textbooks, Zhang Jiao is mentioned. After all, Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Uprising was a key node in the history of this period.
"Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, announced to the people from all over the world that the Yellow Turbans are deceiving the emperor and are gathering people to rebel..."
As a notice recruiting volunteers was posted outside Youzhou City, many people came to see the recruitment list. Among them were the three protagonists in this drama, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!
"A real man doesn't contribute to the country!"
"I'm just sighing!"
"What a man is!"
Zhang Fei, who was eight feet long, had a leopard's head with eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, and a voice as loud as thunder, heard Liu Bei sigh and shouted immediately!
Many viewers were delighted when they saw this flying appearance for the first time. He looked like a hunky-backed warrior and looked like a brainless general!
There is almost no record of Zhang Fei in Xiazhou's history textbooks, but it has only appeared in the popular science of many history bloggers.
Speaking of which, Liu Bei was the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty after King Jing of Zhongshan. Although he was reduced to a lower class, he still had the grace and dignity of a son of a dragon and a grandson of a dragon.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was busy selling wine and killing pigs. He had a village in Youzhou.
Guan Yu, who met these two people, made thousands of viewers shine!
"Guan Yu!"
"So cool!"
"Second Master Guan!"
"General style!"
Guan Yu's popularity in Xiazhou is higher than that of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei combined. The reason is that there are some traditional folk stories about Guan Yu. In some temples, statues of Guan Yu are also enshrined, mainly to ward off evil spirits. In the audience In my impression, Guan Yu is brave and invincible. As for his specific deeds, I don't know much about him either.
It is not unreasonable for Guan Yu to be admired by so many viewers. He is nine feet long, has a beard two feet long, has a face as heavy as jujubes, lips as if greased, red phoenix eyes, eyebrows lying like silkworms, and a majestic and majestic appearance!
At first glance, he has the temperament of a general!
Liu, Guan, and Zhang met by chance. Although they met by chance, they all had the desire to contribute to the country, so they were dragged together by Zhang Fei to drink boldly and analyze the general trend of the world!
Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Compared with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, he knows better than Zhang Fei and Guan Yu that we are living in troubled times, and only in troubled times can heroes emerge.
Liu Bei burst into tears and said that he was twenty-eight years old and had no desire to serve the country, but he had achieved nothing. Now he didn't even have start-up capital. Zhang Fei slapped him in the face when he heard this!
Isn't this a coincidence? It's not!
I am so poor that all I have left is money!
The three of them hit it off immediately and just started working.
Not only did they become sworn brothers of the opposite sex, not only wishing to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but also wishing to die in the same year, the same month and the same day, they also used Zhang Fei's money to recruit more than 500 brave soldiers, turning them into a family that could make contributions in troubled times!
…
"Holy shit?"
"I'm kind of looking forward to it. To be honest, it feels like conquering the world from scratch!"
"Isn't Guan Yu too cool?"
"How many extras did Lin Qiu use? Did he build a city?"
"What a coincidence, in order to film this TV series, more than one city was actually built..."
The audience was amazed.
It must be said that the plot rhythm of the TV version of the Three Kingdoms is faster than that of the novel, which can attract the audience's interest. The sworn brotherhood of Liu, Guan and Zhang in Taoyuan opened the beginning of this chaotic world.
Liu, Guan and Zhang started their army in Youzhou and won no less than 30 battles of varying sizes along the way, but they were only given a small official position and offended the inspector who came to inspect. They were forced to leave and join others.
The story rhythm of the early stage of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was not fast, and even many viewers in the previous life did not understand it.
The stories they knew were mostly the stories after Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times and he appeared.
In fact, this can also indirectly explain how important Zhuge Liang's role in this TV series is and how important his position is in the hearts of the audience.
In the second episode of the premiere, the perspective turned to another "protagonist" - Cao Cao.
In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling died, and his eldest son Liu Bian succeeded him as emperor. Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He fought against each other for their son to seize the throne, so the struggle between relatives and eunuchs became fierce again.
In order to kill all the eunuchs in one fell swoop, General He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou, to lead his troops into the capital!
Under the chaos of the Ten Eunuchs, Dong Zhuo, who had a strong army and was arrogant and domineering, came to the capital at this time. From then on, the emperor was held hostage by the powerful ministers, and the Eastern Han Dynasty existed in name only!
When Dong Zhuo saw this situation, he immediately became restless. You know, it is impossible for anyone not to be tempted by such an opportunity, so Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish the old and establish the new, and ascend the throne to become emperor himself.
"Dong Zhuo..."
"You don't look like an emperor at first glance."
"Killing innocent people indiscriminately, to be honest, no emperor who founded a dynasty would be like this..."
In order to ascend the throne and become emperor, Dong Zhuo killed innocent people indiscriminately in the capital, causing a riot!
In the chaos, a fierce general under Ding Yuan attracted Dong Zhuo's attention.
This man is called Lu Bu, who is brave and has extraordinary fighting power. Dong Zhuo listened to the advice of his advisers and instigated Lu Bu to rebel, relying on the gathering of ministers to discuss the abolition of the emperor!
In this capital, there are two forces that mediate.
One of these two forces is called Yuan Shao, and the other is called Cao Cao!
If the previous characters are more or less well-known, this Yuan Shao has never appeared in history textbooks.
Speaking of this Yuan Shao, he is a warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty. In this chaotic power struggle, although Yuan Shao claimed to be in seclusion and did not communicate with guests on the surface, he actually made friends with party members and chivalrous men in secret. At first glance, he is not a simple person.
There is no need to say more about Cao Cao.
As the overlord who laughed to the end during the Three Kingdoms period, the audience has more or less heard of him.
