Chapter 131 Come on, Donghuang Princess
Can children accept such a dark historical background?
Many adult viewers can't help but think of this idea when they see this scene.
In most of the history teaching in the country, people tend to only teach the positive meaning of these historical stories.
For example, in the story of the marriage between Princess Wencheng and Wang Zhaojun, what students often learn in history books is only that they brought peace and the culture and technology of the Central Plains to the frontier areas outside the Great Wall.
People are praising his achievements in promoting national integration, but rarely mention the difficult situations that the princesses who were married off to foreign countries in that era had to go through during the marriage process.
Just imagine that when modern people go to other places, they will still suffer from various problems of acclimatization due to the climate and geographical environment characteristics of different regions.
Not to mention the ancient times when transportation and medical conditions were not well developed.
The essence of a princess marrying a foreign princess is to risk her life. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who are so shy about the matter of marriage.
People tacitly regard these secrets as "obscure" things that people will naturally understand as time goes by and they grow up.
But now, the Yong'an Museum has exposed everything nakedly to all the audience.
Even the story in the mural includes the story of Wang Zhaojun marrying the son of the Chanyu, who was also her stepson.
Many viewers even began to worry that their live broadcast room would be blocked.
They just silently gazed at the scene on the stone wall, step by step, from the marriage, to the long journey, and then to Wang Zhaojun's second marriage after the death of the Chanyu.
Although the live broadcast of Yong'an Museum also focuses on showing the audience the story of Wang Zhaojun bringing the Central Plains planting technology and culture to Shanyu.
She even gained recognition from many Xiongnu people because of this. But even so, when everyone realized that even though she was the wife of the Chanyu, she had to bow to the old Xiongnu customs.
Everything seemed so sad.
One person's sacrifice in exchange for ten years of stability may be a good deal, but it is obviously not an achievement worth celebrating.
Especially when the audience saw that Wang Zhaojun never returned to her hometown in her life because the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty refused to let her return to the court, and was not even able to return to her hometown and be buried in the way she knew.
All the audience saw was heartache and helplessness towards the princess' fate.
At that moment, people couldn't help but recall the scene not long ago in a costume TV drama where a princess of a certain country was lectured on various moral principles because she didn't want to marry far away.
Indeed, for most people, the princess, as the darling of the country, enjoys a large amount of worship from the people.
Then they have the obligation to sacrifice to protect the safety and interests of the people.
It is true that this is an obligation they should fulfill in order to enjoy their lives, but the problem is that for the princess, the gap between her and others is so sad that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Even if they are mentally prepared, few princesses can really do it.
But not all princesses have to marry.
They also lament why they are not as lucky as their other sisters.
This is a righteous cause, but when people really shift their perspective to the princess who was married off.
How many people can really accept all this without any reservations?
What's more, the Wang Zhaojun depicted in the mural never enjoyed the life of a princess from beginning to end.
The only treatment she received as a princess was her grand wedding in the imperial city.
Although it was her own choice to marry as a princess, she was young and energetic at the time and probably never imagined that her future would involve suffering in a foreign land that was far beyond her imagination.
Besides, the reason why she was unwilling to live as a maid in the palace was not entirely because of her pursuit of status.
She was born beautiful, and there is no one who would not be proud of her beauty.
Especially in the palace where many women had to rely on their looks.
How could Wang Zhaojun, who was once a concubine, not feel jealous of the gap in status between the other concubines and herself?
Obviously, she was the most beautiful lady among all the concubines, but those concubines who were not as good-looking as her became the masters of the palace.
But she has to serve carefully every day. Such a gap will indeed prompt people to make many choices that they would never think of in normal times.
The suppressed emotions echoed in everyone's hearts.
The murals produced by the Yong'an Museum are so exquisite.
So much so that many people are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves for a long time.
Not to mention Dong Lele's passionate commentary on the side.
The audience in the live broadcast room only took a brief moment to look at the mural before being firmly drawn into the world of the "mural".
However, just when Wang Zhaojun died and was buried, everyone thought that everything was about to come to an end.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the mural switched from 3D back to flat 2D.
But who would have thought that before they could express their thoughts in the barrage, the mural in the live broadcast room suddenly began to change again.
At that moment, the mural, which was originally just lines, gradually began to become three-dimensional again.
But this time, what greeted them was no longer the previous description of the mural style.
The three-dimensional female shadow began to stare slowly in the air, and as the khaki color gradually faded, it began to acquire a hint of blood color representing the vitality of the skin.
From concubines to palace maids, and then to the gorgeous attire for wedding, the re-colored three-dimensional images are conveying their beauty to the world in their own way.
[Fuck, my sister is so beautiful. ]
[Oh my God, such a beautiful woman has experienced such a wasted life. ]
[Yongan Museum, you are too much. You actually treat a beautiful sister like this. 】
[5555, I can’t imagine how favored Wang Zhaojun would be if she stayed in the palace.]
[Maybe she will become a representative of the favorite concubine in history. 】
【Given her appearance, I seriously suspect that Wang Zhaojun's failure to be selected was caused by the concubines in the palace.】
[That's right, there is such a beautiful girl in the palace, how could the concubines in the harem not know about it? I guess one of the concubines made trouble.]
[That’s right, since the painters have managed to get a position to paint for concubines, that is, future empresses, they must be experienced and skilled.]
[How could they not know who would be favored by the emperor?]
[That is, most painters in that era were men. If a normal person met a beauty like Wang Zhaojun who was destined to achieve something, shouldn't he try to curry favor with her right away?]
[What painter is trying to trip you up? I think it's just a fight for favor among the concubines in the harem. ]
At that moment, the audience, whose IQ is determined by their appearance, imagined a classic palace fighting drama in their minds in just a flash.
Don't underestimate Donghuang people's enthusiasm for palace dramas.
In the Donghuang film and television circle, palace dramas not only have makeup and styling that is rarely seen by the public in daily life, but also incorporate all kinds of bloody plots from the eight o'clock dramas and rationalize them with the background of the times.
The story of a wealthy family, coupled with the grudges of a 8 o'clock drama.
To put it bluntly, palace dramas are the embodiment of all the expectations that Donghuang people have for film and television dramas.
This is also the reason why Yong'an Museum chose to focus on promoting this project.
Donghuang has many excellent cultural works, but the reality is that only those cultures that meet the entertainment needs of the public can be spread in a short period of time.
That is why the Yongan Group takes this kind of ups and downs story as its core.
And it is obvious that Yongan’s plan does not end here.
As the producer, why did Yongan prepare such an exquisite three-dimensional model for Wang Zhaojun in addition to the murals?
It is not only for the promotion of Mogao Grottoes, but also to publicize the next animated film to be launched by Yongan Series, or Zhenxin Animation.
"Zhaojun goes to the frontier."
[Oh my god, I knew that the Wing On Group must have some plans when they made such a big show.]
[Zhaojun goes to the frontier. This should be one of the "Princess Series" mentioned by Director Jia at the animation film exchange meeting.]
[Princess Iron Fan, Wang Zhaojun, the Yongan series' choice of princess image really far exceeded my imagination. ]
[One more thing, and what's even more exaggerated is that at the previous exchange meeting, when someone used Su Daji as the topic, Director Jia didn't object. ]
[Will Su Daji have a chance to be selected in the future? 】
[It's possible. After all, Su Daji is a nine-tailed fox that has practiced for thousands of years. Nine-tailed white foxes are a very respected existence among foxes. So it's not impossible to set her up as a princess.]
[And if it is a princess series, it is also possible to match the various Disney princess images. ]
A: [Princess Iron Fan has many magic spells and the responsibility to protect a region. She is most likely the counterpart to the Ice Queen.]
B: [Zhaojun Goes to the Frontier tells the story of an ordinary girl who is crowned a princess. It is very likely a reference to Cinderella.]
C: [As the princess of the ocean, will the Little Mermaid be set up as a "Little Dragon Girl"? This way, she can also bring out Nezha. ]
D: [Yes, the modeling of the Dragon King of the East China Sea was so handsome, there will definitely be more plot extensions later.]
E: [This statement is too far-fetched, and seems a bit forced. ]
[I agree. Even if the positioning is similar, judging from the expressions of Director Jia and Director Zhen, they obviously don't want to make a plot where the princess relies on the prince. From this point of view, the routes of the two sides are originally different.]
[Plus one, the Di family is creating a beautiful dream for children, but the Yongan system obviously wants to give the audience more room to think about reality. ]
[Are there any other characters in our story that are suitable for this kind of animation adaptation? ]
[It seems rare. After all, the status of women in the old society was not high. It is difficult for a simple traditional story image to meet this standard.]
[Replying to the above, who said there is no more? Have you forgotten our sea goddess Mazu? The only graduate of Wuqing Dao Da Ai. ]
[Yes, there are too many suitable female characters in Donghuang mythology, such as Nuwa, Mazu, and He Xiangu.]
