This Emperor is Only An Actor

"You young people's minds are too active, old guys like us can't keep up. Yueguan, how did you come up with the idea of ​​shaping Fei Lian, Fei Zhonge, and other treacherous officials like this?" Yan Guanying asked curiously.

Yue Guan has no pretensions in the crew of "Feng Shen". To be precise, Yue Guan has no pretensions in any scenes he shoots. When he is not filming, he also likes to chat with people.

Especially chatting with those old actors.

Yan Guanying has seen a lot, and although she is not very familiar with Yueguan, she has no sense of distance, and she has doubts in her heart, so she asks.

Yue Guan explained: "Because Fei Lian was not a traitor in history, including Fei Zhong and E Lai. Fei Zhong, Fei Lian and E Lai are all descendants of Boyi. Boyi's surname is Ying and he is the leader of the Dongyi tribe. Because of his meritorious service in assisting Dayu in water control, he was granted the title of Fei. The second son, Ruomu, was born as a concubine and had no inheritance rights, so he became a commoner. In order to show that he is different from other commoners, he took Fei as his clan. origin.

In Xia Jie's period, Fei Chang, the ancestor of the Fei family, abandoned Xia and returned to Shang, drove for Shang Tang, and participated in the famous Battle of Mingtiao. After the war, he was rewarded by Shangtang for his meritorious service, and he was qualified to be an official. Although he was only a small official who drove a car, he finally earned an iron rice bowl for his descendants. This is how Fei Zhong was qualified to serve King Zhou and was promoted to be a Chinese doctor.

At that time, Yin and Shang were basically hereditary. In theory, Fei Zhong could only be a driver for King Zhou because his ancestors drove for the king of Shang. However, King Zhou violated the ancestral system and promoted Fei Zhong to be a doctor of Chinese medicine. He was also slandered as a traitor.

Fei Lian and Elai came from a lower family background than Fei Zhong. They are father and son, not brothers as mentioned in "Feng Shen Bang". After Fei Lian's ancestors moved to Xirong, they experienced several generations of inheritance. Although there were some ups and downs during the period, overall speaking, they were still very unsatisfactory. In the generation of Fei Lian and Elai, they even fought against the army of Yin Shang. After fighting, and unfortunately defeated, he became a prisoner of King Zhou.

Logically speaking, if you are a prisoner, you can only end up as a slave. However, King Zhou was determined to reform and did not discriminate against slaves. He found that Fei Lian was good at walking, and he was very capable in doing evil, so he pardoned their sins , and kept them by his side and made them officials. Among them, Elai acts as his bodyguard, while Fei Lian goes out to do things for him. Letting two slaves be officials is not in line with the tradition, so Fei Lian and E Lai, like Fei Zhong, have also become treacherous ministers who are "disliked by nobles".

But it's ridiculous to say that after Jiang Ziya and others led an army to attack Chaoge, they died in battle protecting King Zhou; He built an altar on Mount Taiyue to sacrifice to heaven, and reported to King Zhou that the task had been completed. After the sacrifice was completed, he committed suicide and died for the country.

In this way, those who died for the country were regarded as traitors, and the biggest opponent of King Zhou secretly colluded with King Wu of Zhou, Wei Zi, who betrayed the interests of Yin and Shang, became a famous sage because of his meritorious service.

History is a little girl who can be dressed up by others, and the winner is king. I did not make "Feng Shen" to popularize history for the audience, but since there are correct historical images, I am too lazy to use their discredited images in "Feng Shen Bang", which is not fair to them. "

In fact, Yueguan is not disgusted with the Western Zhou Dynasty.

King Zhou lost, King Zhou lost, and Ji Fa won. It is okay to say that Ji Fa is stronger than King Zhou. The victor is right in everything he says.

But again, there is no need to be embarrassed.

The purpose of filming "Fengshen" Yueguan is not to help King Zhou to clean up, let alone to help King Zhou's treacherous officials to clean up, but compared to Ji Fa, King Zhou obviously has more room to dig.

That's why King Zhou was chosen as the protagonist.

Of course, the people on King Zhou's side can't all be traitors.

According to the historical image, it is far easier to be accepted by the audience than to portray a few treacherous officials.

Yan Guanying nodded after hearing what Yue Guan said. In fact, he had checked the information before, but it was not as detailed as Yue Guan.

In the final analysis, he was only playing Fei Lian, a man who was born as a slave but was very loyal and brave in doing things well.

If you want to play this role well, you don't need to know all the background information of Fei Lian.

Yan Guanying is also not interested in Fei Lian's background information, what he is really interested in is Yue Guan's brain hole.

Because Yueguan used Fei Lian to connect "Feng Shen" and "Xian Qin".

"Is Fei Lian and Qin Shihuang really related by blood in history?" Yan Guanying asked curiously.

Yue Guan smiled: "It's true that the ancestors of Fei Zhong and Fei Lian both had the surname Ying, but Fei Zhong was only related to Qin Shihuang, not from Qin Shihuang's line. He came to die in battle and has no descendants. , nor could it be the ancestor of Qin Shihuang. Although Fei Lian committed suicide, he still had a young son. That’s how one came. Not only Qin Shihuang, but also the Zhao royal family during the Warring States period were descendants of Fei Lian.”

Yan Guanying has increased her knowledge.

He will definitely not be idle to study these materials.

"I thought you were just thinking about it casually, but I didn't expect that there are actually innumerable connections behind it." Yan Guanying said.

Yue Guan chuckled lightly and said: "Of course there are some brain holes, but my requirement for the screenwriter is to try to fit the history as much as possible, and then open the brain holes on the basis of history, it is the only mythical story that belongs to our Dragon Kingdom, so that the audience The sense of substitution will be stronger.”

"There is an idea, especially the title for Fei Lian." Yan Guanying praised: "After Fei Lian died, he was named the 'God of Bing Xiao Disintegration'. Bing Xiao disintegrated, and in the end it was Fei Lian's descendants who disintegrated the Zhou Dynasty. This You can also be connected, Yueguan, you are really powerful."

Yue Guan looked at Yan Guanying in surprise.

This—he really didn't connect.

If Yan Guanying hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed.

Hearing what Yan Guanying said, Yue Guan blinked.

Makes sense.

Although there are some hard links, it is not important.

It was indeed Qin who swept Liuhe and finally ended the rule of Zhou Tianzi.

Really get in touch.

At the end of the third part of "Fengshen", it was originally to explain that Fei Lian committed suicide and died for the country, and after his death, he was named the "God of Ice Disintegration".

Now it is perfectly possible to add a sentence, Fei Lian made an oath: future generations will definitely end the rule of the Zhou Dynasty and avenge the great merchants.

Then, at the beginning of "The Immortal Qin Empire", it is explained that the Qin royal family is the descendants of Fei Lian.

Everything is connected.

Perfect!
