I wrote "Towards the Republic"
Sheng Yu
Very difficult to describe state of mind, the text has never been difficult to express ideas. But "Towards the Republic" of creation, so my artistic life, raising it to a new realm, there are three experience, clear and profound.
First, the permeability of a sense of mission and history.
June 1999, I was appointed as the "Towards the Republic" writer. The next four months learning to read, October to Beijing, while continuing to study, and producers, the planning study and discussion groups, to locate and set the whole works of narrative frame, three months later, in January 2000 , started to write.
We wish to express in this work is the Late Qing Dynasty history, a complex, confusing time, internal and external, all kinds of people, thoughts, political parties ups and downs Ben Zhu, disorderly your Changba me play ... ... a number of related projects, even specialists are not clear, many persons involved, yet it was not; Conversely, people from the literary works of film, from a political textbook on this period of history, but also how to understand that if you write with inherent in his mind, do not add up, then they bring them psychological barrier. Really hard.
But I wrote this work, has been a sense of mission.
Now the fashion to talk about a sense of mission seems a bit funny, or else hypocritical. But I really had this feeling, noble, tragic, get rid of! Better nights, reading historical, national humiliation of blood and tears, I suddenly fell to the side of the book, stroke the table shouts and hard to spit anger and chest air! Write "hate is a horse off" when the chapter I was oral, when it comes to begging for Ito Hirobumi Li strive to reduce the compensation, I suddenly choked and can not say, turn went to the window, overlooking the deep night sky glittering city of Beijing the lights, despite tears.
How can I let my readers and viewers know the feeling?
Read more history, more thinking, more threw himself into writing, I find that the more full understanding of our ancestors and admiration. If we locate the drama is "a noble, tragic hero with an epic," then our ancestors that is the tragedy of epic hero! Toward the Chinese republic in the long distance on each explorer deserve our respect and cherish the memory forever. The modern history of the past, and friends on the outside, generous of men; internal, arbitrary criticism. But now, I can not scholar emotional, arbitrary rank people, and I learned the essence of patriotism. The spirit of our deep understanding of culture, I am writing to bring a sense of history, transparent.
Sense of this transparent, so that we can penetrate the heavy fog of history, to determine our actions throughout this work in line ─ ─ finding a way; to me to my main characters, such as Li, the empress, Kuang Hsu, Chang, Yuan , Sun Yat-sen their position, to mind a vivid image of a flesh and blood, I am from one of their gestures, a look that they want to say, what to do, I even feel their breath; this pass this work through a sense given both the maverick, but also the art of dignified character, so that Chinese culture Huangzhongdalv echo in people's minds.
Second, piety, reverence to treat art.
Previously, TV series has been defined as "mass culture" and "the spirit of fast food." Literally no good, but can not cover their bones with contempt. I have because of their shallow, vulgar and feel the impact of high art can not be tolerated, with good reason.
But over the years, more and more as a good TV series, more and more influence, I found, such as Han Dynasty, Tang, Song, Yuan Dynasty, Ming and Qing fiction, modern drama, film, literature and art in Europe Renaissance sculpture and paintings, representing the mainstream culture of that time as to today's TV series that combines drama, fiction, music, painting ... ... almost all the art forms of the most important element, with the support of high technology, but also have the overwhelming majority of the audience, is becoming the most important of our times, the most representative art form. In other words, television series is the poetry of today.
This discovery enables me to cherish my writing piety and awe.
Raise funds for the Northern Naval written Zhang, and finally landed no difference 82 000 silver. Just a rich father willing to seek out the high prices for the epitaph, as the Governor Zhang Zhidong, who won the family on, say, as a screenwriter who won the family on me. School days, learning some style, can not think about school epitaph. Moreover, Chang is a great scholar, does not write too decent line. I spent a whole day, wrote an epitaph, and no less than 80 words, Yiziqianjin, Zhang Zhidong's 82 000 silver at hand! Then read the script, and many people still think that there is this history of severe disabilities and, of course, choose The epitaph is for the Zhang's are mine.
Give such a small example to show that I am serious. I also know that on the other hand Contrast my incompetence. I admire those who mind two or three days will be able to write a set of TV's master, really thought it was brilliant performance. I can not, often a Characters in language, a description of terms, to stop the brush, a long time wandering around the house, not to mention great structure and organization, and worked hard to really worked hard to ah!
In my art, my readers and audience, I have a clear conscience.
Third, my college (a little)
