On March 10, the crew of [Nirvana in Fire] held a launch ceremony at the Qin Palace Scenic Area in Hengdian Film and Television City.

Gu Wei and his small team had already entered the group one day in advance.

Early that morning, the main actors who had already joined the cast put on their makeup and costumes, and gathered outside the Qin Palace under the arrangement of the crew.

The weather in Hengdian in March was still very cold. Gu Wei was wearing a light gray ancient men's robe and a long down jacket.

Wang Kai, Tang Yan, Gu Wei and several other major supporting actors were surrounded by other crew members and stood in the front row of the crowd.

The power-on ceremony was relatively simple, and not many media came over. Noon Sunshine has never paid much attention to these formal things.

The host is the crew's executive director Wang Yongquan, whose name you may not be familiar with. Director Wang also played a guest role in "Nirvana in Fire".

It is one of the main villains of this show, the leader of the Xuanjing Division - Xia Jiang.

People who have watched "Nirvana in Fire" may be very impressed by the character "Xia Jiang". He is cunning and cunning, and he is a very ambitious person.

And such a villain was played by Wang Yongquan so lifelike that it made the audience's teeth itch. It can only be said that the director has nothing to do with the actors when it comes to acting.

"Today, all the cast and crew of [Nirvana in Fire] are here today."

Director Wang began to deliver a speech at the opening ceremony.

He pointed with one finger at the actors standing in a row.

“Some of the actors are our old friends, and there are some you don’t know, so let me introduce them to you.

First of all, we would like to introduce our male lead "Mei Changsu" - Gu Wei! "

Gu Wei smiled and took a step forward, bowing to the crowd opposite.

"Then there's Tang Yan, the actor who plays 'Princess Nihuang' in our drama."

Tang Yan stood next to Gu Wei and also bowed.

Then he smiled and waved his hands, "Hello everyone!"

Later, Wang Kai, who plays ‘Prince Jing’, teacher Liu Mintao, who plays ‘Concubine Jing’, and Wu Lei, who plays ‘Fei Liu’, the youngest actor in the show, were introduced one after another.

“Let us congratulate our actors with the warmest applause, and wish them good health and everything goes well during the filming of our drama [Langya Bang].

Applause~"

After speaking, Director Wang clapped his hands.

The audience below was also very considerate, applauding and applauding.

After introducing the actors, the director announced that the launch ceremony of [Nirvana in Fire] has officially begun.

Under the guidance of the staff, Gu Wei and others followed the director to several cameras covered with red cloth.

The director counted "three, two, one"

There were crackling firecrackers from behind, and several people pulled the red cloth off the camera together, marking the official start of the TV series.

[Nirvana in Fire] This drama is a typical Chinese "Prince's Revenge".

Its essence is just like Shakespeare's vengeful prince Hamlet.

His father was killed and the government was unjust. After years of forbearance, the prince returned to the court to avenge his father. This process was also accompanied by intricate emotional entanglements and psychological conflicts.

In [Nirvana in Fire], the "Prince of Revenge" Mei Changsu conforms to various characteristics of Hamlet. For example, his mother is the emperor's sister, and his aunt is the emperor's concubine. He can be regarded as a "prince", but at the same time, the emperor is also The culprit who caused his family's tragedy.

In an unjust case, Mei Changsu (Lin Shu) survived by chance and embarked on the road to revenge.

However, the cleverness of the screenwriter lies in the transformation of this classic narrative that conforms to the Chinese cultural paradigm.

For example, Mei Changsu's "revenge" is by no means a Hamlet-style "revenge", which requires killing the culprit and creating a bloody tragic scene, but replaces "revenge" with "redress of injustice". The purpose of Mei Changsu's behavior is always In order to vindicate Chi Yan's old case and give innocence to the unjust dead.

In Chinese Confucian cultural theory, the emperor serves as the guide for his ministers, and they abide by the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers. Although the injustice was caused by the emperor, if a revengeful prince were to kill the emperor like in Western stories, it would violate the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, and the audience may not be able to accept it.

Therefore, "redressing injustice" made Mei Changsu's behavior more Chinese and civilized. In the end, the emperor just admitted his mistake. All the blame fell on the traitorous officials. The emperor was deceived. This is also a very Chinese logic.

Unlike Hamlet, who frequently pulls out his sword and displays a violent attitude, Mei Changsu's path to "revenge" is a literary victory rather than a martial victory. This is a relatively advanced and Chinese way of handling things.

In the character setting of "Nirvana in Fire", Mei Changsu is a white-faced scholar who has no strength, is seriously ill, and can't even take care of himself. He does not have the heroic spirit of an avenger. The screenwriter uses such an extreme setting Of course, it highlights his extraordinary strategic wisdom.

In the story, Mei Changsu relied solely on his personal planning, deduction, persuasion, and strategy to achieve success step by step, until he finally helped King Jing ascend to the throne, vindicated the injustice, and embarked on a wonderful path of revenge through writing. Facts have also proved that a battle of wits is far more exciting than a battle of courage.

Of course, the character of the "Prince of Revenge" is actually divided into two in "Nirvana in Fire", one half is Mei Changsu, and the other half is Prince Jing. The two formed a cooperative relationship between monarch and minister from the beginning.

As the real prince, Prince Jing is responsible for face, while Mei Changsu is the prince who hides his identity and is responsible for face.

The highest state of ancient Chinese literati is to become a "talent of the king's assistant". Mei Changsu helped Prince Jing ascend to the throne as a counselor. This relationship between the king and his assistant makes the story more rich and three-dimensional.

Prince Jing's suspicion of Mei Changsu's identity has become a clue to the relationship between the two, and it also constitutes a fascinating suspense.

The opening ceremony is over and the actors are ready to start filming.

"Hello, Gu Wei, I'm Tang Yan. I'm very happy to work with you on this drama. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the next few months!"

When everyone walked into the venue together, Tang Yan said to Gu Wei beside him with a smile on his face.

Tang Yan attaches great importance to the filming of "Nirvana in Fire". After she became famous after filming "Sword and Sword 3", she also filmed "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family" which made her popular.

But since then, she has been on the road to filming "Silly White Sweetness". She tried to change the acting direction and style several times, but ultimately failed.

Originally, in the second half of this year, she was going to film another large-scale modern idol drama [Why Sheng Xiao Mo].

But in comparison, she values ​​​​the drama "Nirvana in Fire" even more.

The essence of "Zhao Mosheng" is that she has not jumped out of the genres she originally played. Even if the show becomes a hit, the heroine of "Mary Sue" will not be of much help to her career.

After all, as she gets older, she won't be able to play the role of "Silly Baitian" for the rest of her life, and the audience will always get tired of it.

But "Nirvana in Fire" is a perfect opportunity. If "Princess Nihuang" is played well, she can change her acting career and have more opportunities in the industry.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Sister Tang Yan. I like the character Zixuan you played in "Sword and Sword 3" very much.

The three-life love story, from the innocence and agility of the girl to the maturity and beauty of the fairy later, was particularly well acted. "

Gu Wei looked at Tang Yan who was dressed in a heroic manner and praised him.

He feels that the director team still has some ideas for finding actors. At this stage, there are only a few well-known actresses born in the 1980s.

Although Tang Yan is used to playing the role of "silly white sweet", but with a height of 172cm, as long as she doesn't smile and dresses up, she looks like a royal sister. She should be able to play the heroic "Princess Nihuang". Effortless.

When Tang Yan heard what Gu Wei said, she immediately felt very happy. Many people praised her for her beauty, but few praised her for her acting skills.

Moreover, Gu Wei was not boasting without reason. She was very satisfied to be able to tell the characteristics of her character Zixuan in [Sword and Sword 3].

"No, I'm still far behind. I watched your movie "Detective Chinatown" some time ago, and I thought you shot that movie very well."

Tang Yan smiled happily while talking to Gu Wei.

Le's big teeth were exposed, looking like a silly elder sister.

His favorable impression of Gu Wei soared.
