199 1 Hainan film made a TV series, why did it set off a national couplet fever?

199 1 The author who was still in school was stunned by a TV series, which was as amazing as The Legend of the New White Snake. The amazing thing about the legend of the new White Snake lies in all kinds of vocals, which feels like watching a Yue Opera movie. However, this TV series is always paired. The whole TV series has only a dozen episodes. According to statistics, there are more than 200 pairs alone, with an average of more than a dozen pairs per episode. This is Lian Lin Zhenqi filmed by Hainan Film Company.

This play was really popular in those days. After all, it was the only TV series with the theme of "couplets". This drama triggered the interaction between the film and television circles and the cultural circles for a time, and even the country praised it.

For many ordinary people, this drama can be regarded as solving some problems in the Spring Festival. Watch TV and take notes and write down several good couplets. Now you don't have to watch Spring Festival couplets (at that time, you didn't copy couplets, you wrote them yourself).

Looking back now, I have some feelings about this drama.

First, the plot is mediocre and it is unbearable to contact Lin Zhenqi.

In fact, the plot of "Unified Lin Zhenqi" is quite mediocre: the protagonist Ling Daxiao was born in a civilian, smart and kind since childhood, and got help from the nobility all the way. Although he met with difficulties in life, he finally got what he wanted. The enemy is the son of a rich neighbor when he was a child, and his wife is a childhood friend. The emperor tends to listen for a while and then listen for a while, so the fate of the protagonist is ups and downs. Hi, in a word, it's the old routine of the costume drama of talented people and beautiful women.

Although the plot is not creative, more than 200 pairs of friction in the plot are really interesting. For example, the ignorant Cao Longju took his father's exam when he was a child. No matter what topics my father gives me, he always gives me carrots, but every teacher can give me carrots, silk, gongs and bowls, and Luo Fu. This group of noun pairs actually comes from folk jokes and is seamlessly connected to the plot by the screenwriter.

There are also "long, long, long" in folk jokes; Long, long, long, long "Yes, it is also used by Ling Laughter in his tofu shop to describe the bean sprout workshop.

When Ling Daxiao played a trick on Mr. Shi, who drove him away, it was also a clever way to "die after a fine feather bird brick; Mr Si Tong, a coarse-haired animal, killed a chicken for it. However, this pair is said to have been transplanted from Pu Songling's childhood anecdote.

Even the traditional stand-up comedy "Xie" contributed to the drama, such as "Door-to-door bamboo poles, thousands of books at home" written by Ling Daxiao. Cao, the rich neighbor, immediately cut down bamboo, and Ling Daxiao added the words "bamboo is lacking in doors" and "the family keeps thousands of rolls". Cao Caizhu has a bamboo digger, and Ling Daxiao adds "the door is short of bamboo" and "the family keeps thousands of books."

After Ling Daxiao grew up, the imperial examination process was also full of twists and turns. What impressed me was the vengeful couple. "Ling Daxiao and Daxiao are really ashamed, and the white-faced scholar fell off the tiger list." "He Juzheng, who is in the wrong position, is the black-hearted champion Wolong bed." This is a homophonic pair, which is indecent, but Japanese, but stressed that many people think this is a satire. After all, Zhang Ge has always had this rumor, but he and Zhang should be distinguished.

After Ling Daxiao became an official, he was also correct in various ways, such as "moving chairs to enjoy the moon" and "waiting for the lamp to attack the book."

Ling Daxiao was unjustly imprisoned, and Cao Longju bribed the county magistrate Wang to kill Ling Daxiao, but the county magistrate Wang and Ling Daxiao sang a double-reed mantra in court, "1234567", "Filial piety, faithfulness, courtesy and sincerity" and called Cao Longju shameless. In fact, this is also from Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.

Of course, the most amazing thing is that the couples in Su E's bridal chamber, played by Ling Laughter and Zhou Jie, have passed five levels, and they have to be paired at every step from the bridal chamber to blowing lanterns. If you don't study well, you won't delay anything. In particular, the pair of blowing lamps are proud of "laughing and blowing lamps" and "being ashamed of two idiots". In network language, it means "I know you are driving, and I have proof!" " "

Of course, the TV series ended in a happy ending. The new emperor avenged Ling Daxiu and allowed him to resign to compile The Complete Works of Julian. Li Taishi's last message to Ling Daxiu: "The article is good through the ages, and the official career is brilliant for a while." This gift is the crowning touch of this drama, and it is also the consensus of thousands of intellectuals after seeing through the truth of the career path.

Of course, "Lian" should leave some interesting suspense. The semi-couplet left by Ling Daxiao's sister Ling Xiaoyan is "smoke along the smoke". Although this is also an absolute in the Qing Dynasty, it is still quite obscure in this play, and the name of Ling Xiaoyan is also reserved for the audience to use their brains.

Second, the leading roles and supporting roles have their own characteristics.

In United Lin Zhenqi, the audience is most familiar with Li Moran, who plays Li Shifu. He is an unforgettable friend of Ling Daxiao. His image and temperament are very suitable for him to play Li Shifu, a talented and elegant teacher.

Ling Daxiao's wife, Su E, is played by the famous dancer Zhou Jie. Unfortunately, she hardly had a chance to show her dancing talent in this play.

In addition, the author also found this face when he was a walk-on. Considering that Li Qi was drifting north when the play was filmed, maybe it was really him.

The child who plays the teenager Ling Daxiao feels very acting. Judging from the name Huang Lisi, she may be a girl, but unfortunately there is no information after that.

Zhang Gong, who plays the adult Ling Daxiao, is doing well in the host, commentator and film and television circle. There is another anecdote about him. At that year, Zhang Gong offered a reward of 1000 yuan for the second edition of Beijing Evening News. The first part is "bow into the forest, bow at rare birds and animals". I don't know who readers and friends can tell.

Third, watch "Lin Zhenqi" considerations

First of all, spit out the photography of this drama. There are a lot of pictures. I don't know if they are equipment problems or level problems. I feel uncomfortable looking at them. For example, the above shot looks like Ling Daxiao is paying homage to his wife's head.

Well, let's get down to business:

1. As mentioned above, many couplets in this drama are collected by writers from the pairs of names in past dynasties, not only before the Ming Dynasty, but also after the Ming Dynasty and even today. For example, Ling Daxiu's pair of unicorns are flounders, which seems to be an anecdote of Mr. Lu Xun. Therefore, when watching this drama, you don't have to dwell on the era of lovers. This is a complete book of Julian.

Although most of the names of this play are correct, some of them are not very regular in level, rhythm and antithesis, because they are right in artistic conception, and the meter can be relaxed appropriately.

3. Generally, couplets end with the upper couplet and end with the lower couplet. However, some couples in this drama are not wrong, but they do the opposite. Because pairs can be said from bottom to top, it is basically unnecessary to say "upper couplet and lower couplet" in this drama.

Although Lian Lin Zhenqi was a play more than 20 years ago, some people actually began to think about it today because of the lack of creativity. It is said that a film called Lian prodigy Ling Daxiao is being filmed. Alas, I hope I won't ruin my childhood again.

Finally, do readers remember the two absolutes mentioned in the author's article?

"Smoke along Yan Yan"

"Bow into the forest and shoot rare birds and animals."

Come and have a try.
