Mo Xiangwan was listening to Yue Guan's words very carefully.
As Yue Guan's agent, it is natural for her to provide her professional advice to Yue Guan.
However, Mo Xiangwan felt ashamed.
Because she felt that she couldn't keep up with Yue Guan's rhythm.
"Yue Guan, although I am very capable, I am not as educated as you. Does Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty have anything worth photographing? I have never heard of him before..." Mo Xiangwan was a little embarrassed.
Yue Guan held Mo Xiangwan in his arms and chuckled: "It's normal that I haven't heard of it. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not have a strong sense of existence in the minds of ordinary people. For many people, the emperor of the Han Dynasty knew Liu Banghan Emperor Wu and Liu Xiu are enough, the other emperors are just decorations."
"I just know these three." Mo Xiangwan said weakly: "Should I read more books?"
"Skills have specializations. Sister Xiang Wan, you are not an all-rounder, so it doesn't matter. When your uncle was imprisoned, it was good that you could support yourself. Dropping out of school was not something you thought about."
Yue Guan didn't think it was a big deal.
He paid more attention to the emperors of the past dynasties because golden fingers were related to the aura of emperors. He didn't know much about them at first.
Mo Xiangwan didn't have this need.
In addition, Mo Xiangwan's family had changed and he didn't even finish college.
A good agent doesn’t have 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 the Han Dynasty is indeed an emperor worthy of special mention. In the Western Han Dynasty, which was famous for its strict formulation of temple names and posthumous titles, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun was ranked alongside Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They are the four emperors with temple titles. In terms of real governance level, he should be higher than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or even Liu Xiu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was too violent in character, and his civility was a bit slow. As for Liu Xiu... he is very famous and very lucky, but In fact, there aren’t many commendable political achievements.”
To be blunt, you can say that Liu Xiu is a puppet supported by aristocratic families.
The aristocratic family became completely bigger, basically starting from Liu Xiu's time.
The name of the Great Magister deceives many people, but in fact, even in terms of military achievements, Liu Xiu is not particularly outstanding among the emperors of the past. Compared with emperors like Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang, he is not at the same level.
So even though Liu Xiu was more famous, Yue Guan didn't have much interest in Liu Xiu.
In Yue Guan's view, the story of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is more worthy of adaptation.
But Mo Xiangwan still didn't understand the selling point of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
"A relatively wise emperor, there is no shortage of such emperors in history, right?" Mo Xiangwan said.
Yue Guan nodded: "There is no shortage. Although Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is ranked very high among the wise kings of the past dynasties, this is really not a big selling point for a movie. The reason why I want to film Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty , because some of the allusions that happened to him are very interesting and suitable for being made into a TV series."
"for example?"
"The love left behind in Nanyuan is deeply loved by the old 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 the Han Dynasty Liu Xun and his married wife mourning the empress Xu Pingjun. Liu Xun was not the emperor who succeeded him normally at the beginning. He was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The great-grandson of Liu Che and Queen Wei Zifu, and the grandson of the violent prince Liu Zhi. He was imprisoned as an infant because of the 'scourge of witchcraft', and later lived among the people. At that time, his name was Liu Bingji."
When Mo Xiangwan heard this, his eyes lit up: "Liu Bingji? Liu Bingji from "Oolong Love"?"
Yue Guan laughed dumbly.
"I guess many people are the same as you. Their impression of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is Liu Bingji from "Oolong Love", and many people don't know that Liu Bingji is Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty."
After all, not everyone is a history buff.
When Mo Xiangwan heard this, he became really interested: "What happened next?"
"Liu Bing grew up in prison when he was very young. What can a little kid understand? If the warden of the prison didn't feel sorry for him at that time, he would have died in prison long ago. Later Liu Bing has lived among the people. , and was re-entered into Yeting. At such a young age, he could be considered to have tasted all the ways of all sentient beings.
Although Liu Bing has a distinguished status, no one thinks that he still has a future. Later, he married Xu Pingjun as his wife. Xu Pingjun had been married before, but when it was time for her to get married, her fiancé died. The great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty married a girl who still had to bear the reputation of Kefu at that time. It can be imagined how low Liu Bing was already.
However, Liu Bing and Xu Pingjun were very affectionate after their marriage, and they played the piano and the piano in harmony. Under normal circumstances, he would live a mediocre life and not be rich, but he would still be pretty good.
But great luck came from heaven. After the death of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty came to the throne. However, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was in poor health and died before leaving any children. The powerful minister Huo Guang at that time appointed Liu He, the nephew of Emperor Zhao of Han, as the new emperor. However, Liu He could not hold up the wall and was really mediocre. He only reigned for twenty-seven days before he was deposed by Huo Guang. "
When Mo Xiangwan heard this, he already understood the key point: "Is Huo Guang's power so great?"
"Huo Guang was the auxiliary minister left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Among the powerful ministers in the past dynasties, his peak power can be ranked among the top five. It is indeed very big. If Huo Guang was intentional, maybe the first person to usurp the Han Dynasty would not It would be Wang Mang. However, Huo Guang did not choose to usurp the throne in the end. He knew that the position was not easy to sit in. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided that Liu Bing had become the emperor, that is, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. From then on, Liu Bing has been renamed Liu Xun suddenly transformed and became the Ninth Five Supreme Being."
There is nothing more amazing than this in life.
"Although Huo Guang decided that Liu Bingji would be the emperor, he only took Liu Bingji to the palace alone and did not take Xu Pingjun because Huo Guang wanted Liu Bingji to make his youngest daughter Huo Chengjun the queen.
Huo Guang was a great general at that time. He had more than ten thousand people and no one under him. He had all the power to depose and establish the emperor. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who had just ascended the throne, had no ability to resist Huo Guang. However, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who had obeyed Huo Guangyan after taking office, did not want to cater to Huo Guang this time. Instead, he issued an inexplicable edict. "
"What edict?" Mo Xiangwan realized that this should be the story Yue Guan said that was suitable for adaptation into a film and television drama.
She guessed correctly.
Yue Guan chuckled and said: "The edict of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty said that when I was poor, I liked an ancient sword very much. Now I miss it very much. Can you guys help me find it back?" Coming?"
It was baffling, but the ministers understood it as soon as they heard it.
Mo Xiangwan also understood.
Mo Xiangwan's expression was a little fascinated: "Who can say that the emperor has no sincerity if his wife does not go to court? Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was really a top-notch man who valued love and righteousness."
"It is indeed about love and justice. This edict should be the most romantic edict in history. The poor and the humble are inseparable, and the rich and the noble know each other. This is the story of 'the old sword is deeply loved'."
"It's really suitable for being made into a TV series. It will definitely touch many people." Mo Xiangwan himself was a little touched.
She believes that if Yue Guan plays Liu Bingji, he will be able to make Liu Bingji very popular.
This person is located here, and it is difficult to think of anything brilliant.
But she soon thought of the "Nanyuan legacy" that Yue Guan had told her before.
"Yue Guan, what's the story of 'The Lost Love of Nanyuan'?"
"It's also the story of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Jun Xu Ping, but it happened after 'The Love of the Old Sword'. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty issued this edict, and the ministers understood what the emperor meant. Although they didn't want to offend Huo Guang, the emperor had just come to power, so there was nothing wrong with it. The ministers did not want to quarrel with the emperor, so they began to write letters to appoint Xu Pingjun as queen.
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was not polite and quickly canonized Xu Pingjun as his queen. However, such a move must have offended Huo Guang.
The contradiction between powerful ministers and emperors is natural. The greater the power of powerful ministers and the stronger the emperor's means, the more irreconcilable the contradiction will be.
And most of the time, neither side gives in.
Therefore, Huo Guang did not give up the idea of letting his daughter enter the harem, but Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty had always performed very well and protected Xu Pingjun very well, so the Huo family had nothing to do against Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Xu Pingjun.
It was not until three years later that Xu Pingjun became pregnant again, and the Huo family could no longer sit still. Xu Pingjun had already given birth to a child to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty before. Mothers value their children, and now they have given birth to another child. If we don't take action, Queen Xu Pingjun's position will become more and more secure, and the Huo family's grandson will never be able to get involved in this great country again.
So Huo Guang's wife took action, bribed the medical woman, and gave Xu Pingjun the medicine of tiger and wolf, which had just given birth, causing Xu Pingjun to die of postpartum hemorrhage. Xu Pingjun was only 19 years old when he died. "
Mo Xiangwan's expression changed.
I thought "The Love of the Old Sword" was a beautiful love story.
But I didn't expect the ending to be so tragic.
"What happened next?" Mo Xiangwan asked.
"Historical books will not record the grief of an emperor in detail. We only know that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty buried Xu Pingjun in Nanyuan. And Nanyuan was the mausoleum that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty prepared for himself. He asked Xu Pingjun to wait for him in Nanyuan. A few years later, He will always go to reunite with Xu Pingjun. As for that time, he couldn't die because he still had many things to do. In addition to being a husband, he was still an emperor and he still had responsibilities to the country."
After a pause, Yue Guan's smile was a little cold: "Moreover, if something like this happened to my married wife, a man would choose revenge, let alone the king of a country?"
Mo Xiangwan sighed softly.
Ask yourself, if she were Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, she would definitely avenge Xu Pingjun.
This kind of behavior completely offended an emperor.
"After the death of Xu Pingjun, Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun got her wish and became the queen, but what greeted her was just another tragedy. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty used to treat the Huo family with submissiveness, be obedient to Huo Guang, and dote on her. It is the performance of a movie king. After Xu Pingjun's death, this kind of performance has entered a countdown.
After Huo Guang's death, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty began to take charge of the government affairs, gradually taking power into his own hands, and gradually depriving the Huo family of their real power. In the end, the Huo clan and the queen were deposed, and the largest family of the Han Dynasty at that time fell suddenly in the hands of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. "
These contents are only a few words in history books.
But behind it are endless swords, swords, shadows and strategizing.
Mo Xiangwan spent five minutes digesting this story.
"Yue Guan, this is really a good story. If it is filmed, many viewers will definitely like to watch it, and I'm sure it will attract many female viewers to watch it."
The love story of the old sword may not be very attractive to those fans of official history, but for many ordinary viewers, it is definitely a big selling point.
"If the story of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is filmed, the audience base may be even larger than that of Li Zhi." Mo Xiangwan began to analyze the problem from the perspective of the market: "Yue Guan, you have filmed a lot of dramas recently. In fact, you should do more Shoot some love scenes. Always shoot serious dramas, which can easily distance you from the audience."
This is true.
Since "Game of Thrones", most of the films Yue Guan has filmed have been dramas.
The reputation is very good.
But in fact, the increase in popularity is not as much as that of the drama "Chuang Ming".
Many times you have to admit that the audience doesn’t actually want to watch the drama that much.
Shooting some simple and touching stories is likely to impress the audience more.
The story of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Xu Pingjun obviously has such potential.
"I also have such considerations, so I set my sights on Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty." Yue Guandao said: "Actually speaking, there are many things that can be filmed into a drama about Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. This is a really powerful emperor. , and particularly legendary.
Having grown up among the people, I know the sufferings of the people. He was not yet twenty years old when he was pushed onto the stage of history by powerful ministers, but he knew how to hide his strength and bide his time, and eventually achieved the hegemony of a generation of emperors.
The deep love between the sword and Nanyuan gave his imperial career a touch of warmth and pathos.
But he is not a little man, but a great husband. He was not knocked down by hardships, nor was he always immersed in sorrow. He constantly surpassed himself and assumed the responsibilities that an emperor should have.
When the Xiongnu repeatedly invaded the border, he strategized and boldly launched 160,000 iron cavalry, which was the largest battle against the Xiongnu in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty.
The Han army chased them north, and the Huns, who had been fighting the Han for 140 years across the desert, finally lowered their heads and fulfilled the ideal that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had not realized throughout his life. In terms of martial arts, even though Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was not as good as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he actually did not lose much.
During the Xuan Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, political reforms were made to the administration of officials, and those who believed in rewards must be punished. Militarily, he surrendered the Xiongnu, conquered the Western Regions, quelled the Qiang rebellion, and established the Protectorate of the Western Regions. This brought the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains under the central government for the first time. From then on, the power of the Han Dynasty reached thousands of miles away. Economically, the industry and commerce were rectified, mergers were suppressed, corvee was lightened and taxes were reduced, the people had enough food and clothing, and grain prices reached the lowest level in the Han Dynasty. Culturally, the classics were compiled and "Historical Records" was promulgated to the world. The governance thought of "the Han family had its own system and mixed it with the overlord's way" had a profound influence.
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty reigned for 25 years and worked hard to make the Han Dynasty have a clear government, a prosperous economy, foreign guests from all over the world, and national strength reaching its peak, which is known as the "Han Xuan Zhongxing" in history.
It's a pity that not many people know about such an emperor, who has made great contributions to his ancestors and passed down his legacy to his heirs. "
In the past two days, Yue Guan has been reading information about Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
The more I looked at him, the more I felt that this was another emperor whose reputation and strength were seriously inconsistent.
Well done, it's another representative role.
