I'm just an actor

Yue Guan felt that Li Si should be more powerful. Others disagreed, and he would not force others. After all, his ideas may not be correct.

But Yueguan knew one thing - Li Si from Xianqin had to be particularly awesome.

So if Yu Hewei can't play Li Si in a demeanor, then the Li Si of Xianqin may not be able to fall on his head.

But professional is professional.

The next day, Yu Hewei let Yueguan see his professional ability.

There are two full episodes in the script of burning books and burying scholars.

This matter involved many historical figures, but the main roles in the play are actually a few people:

Servant shot Zhou Qingchen;

Dr. Chun Yuyue;

Prime Minister Li Si;

King Qin Yingzheng.

These are the four main characters involved in the burning of books.

Specifically, if it comes to pitting Confucianism, then add alchemist Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng.

However, the plot arrangement is naturally to shoot the book burning first, and then "Kill Confucianism".

The cause and effect of burning books is actually very simple:

After Qin Shihuang Yingzheng ascended the throne, the political and economic reforms implemented were not all smooth sailing.The biggest debate among them is whether to continue to use the enfeoffment system.

At the beginning of the unification, there was a fierce debate in the court of Daqin on the issue of whether to entrust the princes to be kings.

At that time, a group of officials headed by Prime Minister Wang Wan advocated that Qin Shihuang entrust the princes to the former lands of Yan, Qi, and Chu that had not long been occupied as kings, thinking that this would help consolidate Qin's rule.

At that time, Li Si, who was a subordinate of Wang Wan, firmly opposed it. Li Si believed that the disputes among the princes during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were entirely the result of the enfeoffment of the Western Zhou Dynasty.Only by abolishing the enfeoffment system can the disaster be avoided.

He directly stood on the opposite side with his immediate superior, and directly stood on the opposite side of the Qin clan, and even stood on the opposite side of Yingzheng and the princes.

This is Li Si's determination and courage.

For thousands of years, Ying Zheng is not the only one who has been maliciously criticized. Li Si's talent and ability have obviously been underestimated a lot.Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on others, after all, Li Si fell to Hu Hai in the end and couldn't get rid of it.

But "The Unification of the Great Qin Empire" couldn't film that time, so Li Si is a full-fledged talent in "The Unification of the Great Qin Empire".

Qin Shihuang Yingzheng finally adopted Li Si's opinion and established the county system throughout the country.

This is the antecedent of the burning of books.

Eight years later, in the 34th year of the first emperor (213 BC), another controversy arose at the palace banquet held by Qin Shihuang in Xianyang Palace.

This debate is a debate about whether we should learn from the ancients or the present, and the burning of books was triggered by this.

At the banquet, the ministers headed by servant Zhou Qingchen praised Qin Shihuang's martial power and virtue, far surpassing the ancient holy emperor.

Chun Yuyue, a doctor, put forward the idea of ​​restoring the enfeoffment system in response to Zhou Qingchen's fat words.

Yue Guan brought Wang Jinsong to play Chun Yuyue as a cameo, a cameo role, naturally there is no pressure for an actor of Wang Jinsong's level.

Wang Jinsong said this: "I heard that the king of Yin and Zhou was more than a thousand years old, and he appointed his sons as heroes, and he was his assistant. Now your majesty has Hai Nei, and his sons are ordinary people. He has Tian Chang and Liu Qing's ministers. He has no assistants. How can we save each other?" Well? Those who do not learn from the past but can last for a long time are not heard of. Today, Qingchen has a plump face, and he is not loyal to his majesty's faults."

The meaning of translation is: I heard that the Shang and Zhou dynasties ruled for more than 1000 years, entrusting their children and meritorious officials as their assistants.Now, Your Majesty, although you are uniting the world, your children are still ordinary people. If Tian Chang and Liu Qing seize power and usurp the throne, if there is no strong assistant minister in the court, who will come to rescue?I have never heard of a dynasty that ruled for a long time without learning the experience of ancient times.Now Zhou Qingchen and others flatter you face to face to aggravate your mistake, they are not loyal ministers.

For this conversation, Yue Guan asked "The Unification of the Great Qin Empire" to shoot two versions, one in ancient Chinese and one in modern vernacular.

This dialogue is relatively very important. The ancient Chinese is better than the old Chinese, and the modern vernacular is easier to understand, so we simply filmed all of them.

Ying Zheng, played by Yue Guan, did not react after hearing Chun Yuyue's advice, but handed Chun Yuyue's suggestion to the officials for discussion.

At this time, Li Si, the prime minister played by Yu Hewei, appeared on the stage and made it clear that he disagreed with Chun Yuyue's point of view.

"The dispute between the three generations, how can we legalize it? Confucian students, don't learn from the present, but learn from the past, and the past is to harm the present. If you don't stop it, the dominant force will fall to the top, and the party will succeed in the bottom."

These are two typical opposing camps.

Chun Yuyue believes that imitating the sages is the kingly way.

However, Li Si believes that the past is not the same as the present, and we must adapt to the current situation. The ancient policies are no longer applicable to the present, and we have to make new decisions.

Ying Zheng sided with Li Si without any suspense.

However, before Ying Zheng made a statement, Li Si continued to put forward three suggestions for burning ancient books:

1. Except for "Qin Ji", medicine, divination, farm classics, philosophers and other historical ancient books, they must be handed over to the government for destruction within a time limit.Those who do not pay within thirty days after the order shall be punished with tattooing and four years of hard labor;

2. Those who talk about "Poems" and "Books" will be executed;

3. Those who are willing to learn laws and regulations should take officials as teachers.

These three suggestions are all aimed at maintaining the rule of Daqin.

The script clearly explained this point through Li Si's mouth.

The so-called burning of books did not burn those technical and practical books on medicine, agriculture and animal husbandry, or even those classics of various schools of thought, including "Poetry" and "Book".

It was Xiang Yu, that prodigal son who really burned these things...

A fire burned...

The reason why the people are not allowed to talk about "Poems" and "Books" is because these books mostly praise the emperors of the past dynasties and the former kings of the Six Kingdoms.

Although the Great Qin ruled the world, the thoughts and culture of the people inside were not unified, which of course was not conducive to the rule of the Great Qin and the stability of the world.

Obviously, when the world is unified, the thinking also needs to be unified, otherwise it will be too dangerous.So, what kind of thinking is used as a benchmark for unity?There's an obvious answer to this too - whoever wins is right.

Qin State was the ultimate victor in the Warring States Period, so it is natural to use Qin State's method to unify the other six countries, and use Qin State's thinking to unify the thoughts of the people of the world.

In fact, all subsequent dynasties have done this.

The source of everything is at this moment.

The notoriety of burning books was also planted in this way.

As an empire and a subject, some people must obey, some sacrifice, and some be assimilated. Otherwise, how did the Han nationality come into being?

There have been so many ethnic groups in history, why are they all Han now?

Tracing back to the source, the root of the Han nationality's cohesion did not lie in the Han Dynasty, but in the Qin Dynasty.

It's just that the Qin Dynasty was too short-lived, and then the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty's system, and it was still the Qin Dynasty's system.

If the Qin dynasty could last another 100 years, we might call ourselves the Qin clan today.

This is what unity means.

This is the consequence of burning books.

Some things, because of different positions, will distinguish between right and wrong.

And after thousands of years, those of us who enjoy the achievements of the ancients, from an objective standpoint, the so-called burning of books is actually necessary and correct.

Of course, everyone can have different opinions, and not everyone is willing to see the unity of the country. There are too many liberals, and there are too many small bourgeois.

"The Unification of the Great Qin Empire" is not to whitewash anything, but to explain clearly to the audience the matter of burning books and burying scholars.

Specifically whether to support or oppose, criticize or praise, the audience has the final say.

Compared with burning books, the far-reaching significance of burying Confucianism is not too great, but in fact it needs to be talked about more.

Because of the infamy of Confucianism, Yingzheng has been burdened for thousands of years, and he was almost unable to lift his head when he was scolded by Confucius disciples in the past.

If it wasn't for the teacher in his previous life, Ying Zheng might not have been able to reverse the case.

In fact, Ying Zheng did not murder Confucian disciples.

Ying Zheng killed the alchemist.

Once again, Ying Zheng is not perfect, he also has a common shortcoming of ancient emperors - he wants to live forever.

In the face of death, Ying Zheng is also an ordinary person, so he has a strong desire to cultivate immortals, and he also invited many alchemists to help him find immortals and make alchemy.

However, nothing was found.

After the alchemists Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng failed to seek immortality for Qin Shihuang, they talked privately about Qin Shihuang's character, governance, and seeking immortality.They approached Qin Shihuang only to pass on the "Tao Jing" to the people of the world, not to help the first emperor cultivate immortality.

Then the two men ran away with a huge sum of money.

Qin Shihuang was furious when he knew about it, so he vented his anger on the alchemists and warlocks, ordered a search and interrogation in Xianyang, captured 460 people and buried them alive.

Objectively speaking, the burning of books is not a black spot of Yingzheng, but it is counted as "piercing Confucian scholars", although Qin Shihuang did not murder Confucian scholars.

But the "pitting Confucianism" incident was essentially the evil fruit planted by Qin Shihuang himself.

This also proves that Qin Shihuang is indeed not a perfect man.

The "burning books and burying Confucianism" filmed in "The Unification of the Great Qin Empire" is completely different from the "burning books and burying Confucianism" in many people's minds.After filming the two episodes of Burning Books and Confucianism, Ding Bai said with emotion: "Yueguan, I have a hunch that our two episodes will probably arouse many people's discussions after they are aired."

"Then let the discussion be more intense. The more discussion there is, the more popular our drama will be. I'm afraid that no one will pay attention, and it will be embarrassing." Yue Guan said.

"I hope the audience can accept this kind of 'burning books and burying scholars'."

To be honest, director Ding Bai was a little uncertain.

Yue Guan comforted: "Director Ding, don't worry, we don't talk nonsense, there are experts who specialize in the history of Qin State sitting in our crew, and we are not afraid of breaking the sky. When we shoot this kind of movie, we publicize it as a real drama , that in itself also conveys some correct historical views to the audience.”

The positioning is a drama, so just do what the drama should do.

A serious drama cannot be adapted indiscriminately.

Yue Guan has said so, Ding Bai naturally has no other opinions.

"Listen to you, it's over, the next game."

Yueguan's filming speed is generally very fast.

Among all the scenes filmed by Yueguan, "The Unification of the Great Qin Empire" is relatively slow.

It took Yueguan two full months of filming to finish all the scenes.

This is actually very rare in Yue Guan's filming career.

Generally, Yue Guan left the crew before the others, but in the crew of "The Unification of the Great Qin Empire", Yue Guan was basically the last one to finish filming.

There is no way around this, because Ying Zheng is the core of this drama. After the script is adjusted, all plot lines revolve around Ying Zheng.

Therefore, Yueguan must accompany him to the end.

And Ying Zheng is really difficult to play, this is one of the most difficult roles played by Yue Guan.

Even if he cheated, it was still not easy for Yue Guan to act.

Because Ying Zheng is too complicated.

Yueguan can't just be portrayed in a domineering and lonely direction, but try to make people feel Yingzheng's versatility and growth, which is very difficult for actors.

99% of actors in the entertainment industry find it difficult to do this.

After the filming of this film, everyone in the crew was completely convinced of Yue Guan.

Basically everyone knew that Yue Guan's acting skills were very good.

But after filming this movie, the crew realized how good Yue Guan's acting skills are.

At the finale banquet, Yu Hewei took the initiative to toast Yueguan with a glass of wine.

This glass of wine is not a toast to Yue Guan's status and wealth, but purely to Yue Guan's acting skills.

"Yueguan, amazing, you are too powerful." Yu Hewei was full of praise for Yueguan.

Yue Guan said modestly: "Teacher Yu, your acting is also very good."

Yu and Wei have self-knowledge: "My acting is not bad, but your acting is too good. Yueguan, do you know what I see when I watch your acting?"

"what?"

"The sense of hierarchy, I can see a very clear sense of hierarchy." Yu and Wei Pei admired.

Ding Bai agreed: "I also feel a strong sense of hierarchy, from loneliness to domineering, from domineering to magnanimity, from magnanimity to generosity, and then from magnanimity to greatness. Yueguan, you only played one role, but It completely interprets Ying Zheng's life growth."

Yue Guan felt a little embarrassed after being exaggerated: "Is it so exaggerated?"

"Yes, indeed, Yueguan, I have seen your play before, but I feel that you have improved compared to before, and the improvement is not small." Ding Bai said seriously.
