Chapter 519 A story that is very suitable for adaptation into a TV series
Mo Xiangwan was listening to Yue Guan’s speech very seriously.
As Yue Guan’s agent, she naturally had to provide Yue Guan with her own professional advice.
However, Mo Xiangwan felt very ashamed.
Because she felt that she could not keep up with Yueguan's rhythm.
"Yueguan, although I am very capable, I am not as educated as you. Is there anything worth shooting for Emperor Xuan of Han? I have never heard of him before..." Mo Xiangwan felt a little embarrassed.
Yue Guan hugged Mo Xiangwan in his arms and chuckled: "It's normal that Emperor Xuan of Han had a bad sense of existence in the minds of ordinary people. For many people, it was enough for the emperor of the Han Dynasty to know Liu Bang, Emperor Wu of Han and Liu Xiu, and the other emperors were all decorations."
"I just know these three." Mo Xiangwan said weakly: "Do I want to read more books?"
"You have a specialty in your profession. Sister Xiang Wan, you are not a versatile talent, it doesn't matter. When the uncle was imprisoned, it would be great if you could support yourself. It's not your intention to drop out of school."
Yue Guan didn't think this was a big deal.
It was because of his golden fingers and the aura of the emperor that he paid more attention to the emperors of all dynasties and did not know much about it.
Mo Xiangwan doesn’t have this need.
In addition, Mo Xiangwan's family was in trouble and he didn't even finish college.
An excellent agent doesn’t need to know everything. A “all-rounder” like Gao Xiaosong is far inferior to a specialist like Mo Xiangwan.
Yue Guan patiently explained: "Emperor Xuan of Han was indeed an emperor worthy of writing. In the Western Han Dynasty, which was known for its strict temple names and posthumous titles, Emperor Xuan of Han Liu Xun was ranked as four emperors with temple names, Emperor Gao of Han, Emperor Wen of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han. In terms of real governance, he should be higher than Emperor Wu of Han or even Liu Xiu. Emperor Wu of Han was too violent and his civil rule was a bit dragged. Liu Xiu's words... were very famous and very lucky, but in fact there were not many political achievements that could be praised."
To be honest, it is okay to say that Liu Xiu is a puppet supported by the aristocratic family.
The family of aristocratic families has become completely bigger, and it is basically what Liu Xiu started at that time.
The title of the great magician has fooled many people, but in fact, even in terms of military achievements, Liu Xiu was not particularly outstanding among the emperors of all dynasties. He was not at the same level as the emperors like Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang.
So although Liu Xiu is a little more famous, Yue Guan is not interested in Liu Xiu.
In Yueguan's view, the story of Emperor Xuan of Han has more value in adaptation.
However, Mo Xiangwan still didn't understand the selling points of Emperor Xuan of Han.
"A relatively wise emperor has not lacked such emperors in history, right?" Mo Xiangwan said.
Yue Guan nodded: "There is no shortage. Although Emperor Xuan of Han is ranked very high among the wise kings of all dynasties, this is indeed not a big selling point for a drama. The reason why I want to film Emperor Xuan of Han is because some of the allusions that happened to him are very interesting and are very suitable for making TV series."
“What about?”
"Nanyuan's love is the deep love of the sword. Have you heard of this allusion?"
Mo Xiangwan replied honestly: "No."
Yue Guan was not surprised and explained with a chuckle: "This allusion tells the story of Emperor Xuan of Han and his wife Gonggong mourning the Queen Xu Pingjun. Liu Xun was not the emperor who was inherited normally at the beginning. He was the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che and the queen guard Zifu, and the grandson of Prince Li Liu Ju. Because of the 'witchcraft disaster', he was imprisoned in his infancy and later became a part of the people. At that time, he was called Liu Bingyi."
When Mo Xiangwan heard this, his eyes lit up: "Liu Bingyi? Liu Bingyi from "The Love of the Wolong"?"
Yue Guan laughed silently.
"I guess many people are like you. The impression of Emperor Xuan of Han is Liu Bingyi in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Many people don't know that Liu Bingyi is Emperor Xuan of Han."
After all, not everyone is a history lover.
When Mo Xiangwan heard this, he really became interested: "What happened later?"
"Liu Bingyi grew up in prison when she was very young. What could a little kid know? If the warden of the prison at that time felt sorry for him, he would have died in prison long ago. Later, Liu Bingyi was displaced among the people and was re-entered into the court. At a young age, he could have tasted all kinds of things.
Although Liu Bingyi's status is precious, no one would think he still has a future. Later, he married Xu Pingjun, who had already promised someone before, but when she was about to get married, his fiancé died. The great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han married a girl who had to bear the reputation of being a husband on his back at that time. It is conceivable how unrespected Liu Bingyi was.
However, after Liu Bingyi and Xu Pingjun got married, they were very loving and harmonious. Under normal circumstances, he would live his life mediocrely and would not be rich, but it was pretty good.
However, the great fortune came from heaven. After Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zhao of Han came to power, but Emperor Zhao of Han was in poor health and died before leaving his children. At that time, the powerful minister Huo Guang established Emperor Zhao of Han as the new emperor. However, Liu He could not support the wall with mud. He was really stupid. He was only in power for twenty-seven days before being deposed by Huo Guang."
Mo Xiangwan heard this and already heard the point: "Is Huo Guang so powerful?"
"Huo Guang was the auxiliary minister left by Emperor Wu of Han. Among the powerful ministers in all dynasties, his peak power could also be among the top five, which is indeed very large. If Huo Guang had intention, maybe the first person to usurp the Han Dynasty would not be Wang Mang. However, Huo Guang finally did not choose to usurp the throne himself. He knew that the position was difficult to sit in. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided that Liu Bingyi was the emperor, that is, Emperor Xuan of Han. From then on, Liu Bingyi changed his name to Liu Xun, transformed himself into the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five."
This is the most amazing thing in life.
"Although Huo Guang decided that Liu Bingyi would be the emperor, he only brought Liu Bingyi to the palace alone, and did not accept Xu Pingjun because Huo Guang wanted Liu Bingyi to make his youngest daughter Huo Chengjun the queen.
Huo Guang was a general at that time, and there was no one below him. He was in charge of the power to depose the emperor. Emperor Xuan of Han, who had just ascended to the throne, had no ability to fight against Huo Guang. However, after he took office, he did not cater to Emperor Xuan of Han, who obeyed Huo Guangyan, this time, but issued an inexplicable edict."
"What edict?" Mo Xiangwan realized that this should be the story that Yue Guan said was very suitable for adaptation into a film and television drama.
She guessed it right.
Yue Guan chuckled and said, "The edict of Emperor Xuan of Han said that when I was in poverty, I liked an ancient sword very much. Now I miss it very much. Can you please help me find it back?"
It was inexplicable, but the ministers understood it as soon as they heard it.
Mo Xiangwan also understood.
Mo Xiangwan's expression was a little fascinated: "With a wife who is not in the family, who says that the emperor has no sincerity? Emperor Xuan of Han is really a top-notch man, and he values love and righteousness."
"It is indeed a matter of importance to love and righteousness. This edict should be the most romantic edict in history. Poverty and humbleness are not separated from each other, and wealth and honor are also known to each other. This is the story of "the love of the sword is deep."
"It's really suitable for making a TV series, and it will definitely touch many people." Mo Xiangwan himself was a little moved.
She believed that if Yue Guan played Liu Bingyi, he would definitely be able to portray Liu Bingyi very much.
This person is here, and it is difficult to think of not being outstanding.
However, she soon thought of the "Nanyuan Left Love" that Yue Guan had told her before.
"Yueguan, what is the story of 'Nanyuan Legacy Love'?"
"It is also the story of Emperor Xuan of Han and Xu Pingjun, but it happened after 'The Deep Love of the Sword'. Emperor Xuan of Han issued this edict, and the ministers understood the emperor's meaning. Although they did not want to offend Huo Guang, the emperor had just taken office and there was no unwise point. The ministers did not want to break up with the emperor, so they began to write a letter to make Xu Pingjun the queen.
Emperor Xuan of Han was not polite, and soon enthroned Xu Pingjun as the queen, but such actions must have been abusive to Huo Guang.
The contradiction between powerful ministers and emperors is born. The greater the power of powerful ministers, the stronger the emperor's means, the more irreconcilable the contradictions will be.
And most of the time, neither side will give in.
Therefore, Huo Guang did not give up on the idea of letting his daughter enter the harem. However, Emperor Xuan of Han has always performed well and protected Xu Pingjun very well. Therefore, the Huo family also had no choice but to deal with Emperor Xuan of Han and Xu Pingjun.
Until three years later, Xu Pingjun became pregnant again and the Huo family could not sit still. Xu Pingjun had given birth to a child for Emperor Xuan of Han before. The mother was noble for her son, and now she had another child. If she didn't do anything, Empress Xu Pingjun's position would become more and more stable, and the Huo family's grandson would never be able to get involved in the Han Dynasty again.
So Huo Guang's wife took action, bribed the doctor's daughter, and used tiger and wolf medicine for Xu Pingjun who had just given birth, which led to Xu Pingjun's blood-collapse after giving birth. When she died, Xu Pingjun was only 19 years old."
Mo Xiangwan's face changed.
I thought "There is a deep love story" was a beautiful love story.
But I didn't expect the ending to be so tragic.
"What happened later?" Mo Xiangwan asked.
"Historical books will not record the grief of an emperor in detail. I only know that Emperor Xuan of Han buried Xu Pingjun in Nanyuan. Nanyuan was the tomb prepared by Emperor Xuan of Han. He asked Xu Pingjun to wait for him in Nanyuan. After several years, he would always find Xu Pingjun to reunite. As for the time being, he could not die because he had many things not done. In addition to his husband, he was also an emperor and he still had responsibility for the Han Dynasty."
After pausing, Yue Guan's smile was a little cold: "Also, if his wife encounters such a thing, a man will choose to take revenge, let alone the king of a country?"
Mo Xiangwan sighed lightly.
Ask yourself, if she were Emperor Xuan of Han, she would definitely avenge Xu Pingjun.
This behavior completely violates an emperor's reverse scale.
"After Xu Pingjun's death, Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun became the queen as she wished, but what greeted her was just another tragedy. Emperor Xuan of Han used to be guilty of Huo Jiaxu, be timid and favored Huo Guang, and beloved by her. They were all performances of a movie emperor. After Xu Pingjun's death, this performance had already entered the countdown.
After Huo Guang's death, Emperor Xuan of Han began to take charge of the government affairs personally, gradually taking power into his own hands, and gradually deprived the Huo family of real power. In the end, the Huo Yi tribe and the queen were deposed, and the first family of the Han Dynasty at that time fell down in the hands of Emperor Xuan of Han."
These contents are only a few in history books.
But behind it is endless swords and sabers and strategic planning.
Mo Xiangwan took five minutes to digest this story.
"Yueguan, this is really a good story. If it is filmed, there will definitely be many viewers who like to watch it, and I am sure it will attract many female viewers."
Therefore, the love story of Jianqing may not be attractive to those enthusiasts of official history, but it is definitely a big selling point for many ordinary audiences.
"If you shoot the story of Emperor Xuan of Han, the basic audience may be more than Li Zhi." Mo Xiangwan started to analyze the problem from the perspective of the market: "Yue Guan, you have filmed a lot of serious dramas recently, but you should actually shoot some more romantic dramas. Always shooting serious dramas will easily make you farther away from the audience."
This is the truth.
Since "Game of Thrones", most of the movies Yue Guan has filmed have been serious dramas.
All have a very good reputation.
But in fact, the increased popularity does not increase much as the drama "Traveling the Ming".
Many times you have to admit that the audience doesn’t actually want to watch a serious drama that much.
Shooting some simple and moving stories will likely impress the audience more.
The story of Emperor Xuan of Han and Xu Pingjun obviously has such potential.
"I also had this kind of consideration, so I set my sights on Emperor Xuan of Han." Yue Guan said: "Actually, there are many things that can be filmed by Emperor Xuan of Han into a serious drama. This is a really amazing emperor and a very legendary one.
He grew up among the people and knew the sufferings of the people. He was less than twenty years old when he was pushed onto the stage of history by powerful ministers, but he knew how to hide his strength and maintain a low profile, and eventually achieved the hegemony of a generation of emperors.
Therefore, the deep love of swords and the love of Nanyuan made his emperor's great achievements more warm and sad.
But he was not a little man, but a great man. He was not defeated by hardships, had not been immersed in sorrow, and was constantly surpassing himself and taking on the responsibilities that the emperor should have.
When the Huns repeatedly invaded the border, he planned and launched 160,000 cavalry with great courage. It was the largest battle against the Huns in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty.
The Han army chased and died north, causing the Huns who had been fighting with the Han Dynasty for 140 years to finally lower their heads and fulfilled the ideal that Emperor Wu of Han had never realized in his entire life. In terms of martial arts, even if Emperor Xuan of Han was not as good as Emperor Wu of Han, he was actually not much inferior.
During the Han Xuan Dynasty, the government reformed the administration of officials in politics, and believed that rewards would be punished. In military terms, the Xiongnu were surrendered to the Western Regions, quelled the Qiang Rebellion, and established the Western Regions Protectorate, so that the Tianshan Mountains were transferred to the central government for the first time. Since then, the power of the Han Dynasty has been far away from the Pamir Mountains. In economic terms, the industry and commerce have been rectified, the merger has been curbed, the taxes have been reduced, the people have enough food and clothing, and the food prices have reached the lowest level of the Han Dynasty. In cultural terms, the classics were compiled and the "Records of the Grand Historian" was promulgated throughout the world. The idea of governing the country with "Han's own system, mixed with overlords and tying" has far-reaching influence.
Emperor Xuan of Han reigned for 25 years and worked hard to govern, which made the Han Dynasty clear and bright administration, prosperous economy, and the four barbarians subjugate, and the national strength reached its peak. It was known in history as the "Revival of the Han Xuan".
Such an emperor has great achievements and ancestors, and his descendants, but not many people know about them. It's a pity."
Yueguan has read a lot of information about Emperor Xuan of Han these two days.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that this is another emperor with serious fame and strength.
