Chapter 737: The essence of the decline of martial arts dramas and the taste of "weak pretty boys"

After the opening ceremony and media conference, Ning Luo shrunk her neck and got into the RV to start putting on makeup and styling her hair.

The play "Lotus Tower" tells the story of Li Xiangyi, the leader of the Si Gu Sect, a well-known martial arts sect, also played by Ning Luo, who was seriously injured after a war.

From then on, he retired from the world and transformed himself into the miracle doctor Li Lianhua. He took with him a dog named "Fox Spirit" and a movable building called "Lotus Building" that could be pulled around by horses. He embarked on the journey to find out the truth about the death of his senior brother Shan Gudao.

On his journey to find the truth, he met Fang Duobing, a man of great integrity, and Di Feisheng, who had a bloody battle with him but had a kind of good nature. Together they solved many mysterious cases, and finally discovered the revenge conspiracy of the Nanyin people.

The whole script is based on martial arts and suspenseful crime-solving themes, without too many common love scenes.

What attracted Ning Luo the most was that the core of the story was not only about Li Lianhua’s sentiment that “a small hero is one who serves his friends and neighbors”, but also that “a great hero is one who serves his country and his people”.

This was very common in martial arts dramas from a dozen or twenty years ago, especially Jin Yong dramas.

However, after the "evolution" of dramas such as martial arts dramas and fairy tales, the core of these dramas has mostly become the stupid logic of "destroying a city for one person, turning into a demon for love, even if it means leaving behind eternal infamy, so what?"

Pure love brain!

This is also what Ning Luo personally believes is the biggest reason why "martial arts dramas" have declined.

Confucianism is the ideological source of China's modern martial arts spirit, and it can be said to be rooted in the traditional cultural context of the Chinese nation.

For example, "The greatest chivalrous man is one who serves his country and his people" is a typical Confucian idea.

Advocate "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."

When you have the ability, you should take the world as your responsibility, help the poor and the needy as your goal, save people from danger and relieve the people from distress.

Those who kill people just for petty love or other selfish desires can be called "breaking the law with force". They do not have any "chivalrous spirit" and naturally lack the core and most attractive thing of martial arts "chivalrous" dramas.

If you want to watch a romance drama, wouldn’t it be better to just watch a romance drama or a sweet pet drama?

In addition, today's casting is heavily based on traffic, and traffic actors generally have hollowed-out bodies and those mediocre skills in their hands, so the fights are too ugly, so they have to abuse special effects, slow motion and other tricks.

This also means that another eye-catching feature of martial arts dramas, fighting, has become less interesting.

Even a tough guy like Ning Luo with a "body of steel" was a little annoyed by his girlfriends who were crying out for food with their little mouths open and were very good at "playing softly".

Fortunately, he received guidance for a period of time when filming "Joy of Life".

The old lady had previously held a small stick and dabbled in the "knight style" when she was teaching him ancient etiquette.

What he lacks now is some routine and fancy tricks.

In short, the core is gone, the external skeleton is gone, and it is natural that martial arts dramas will disappear.

This is also the reason why Ning Luo asked the crew to use real weapons, minimize slow motion shots, and specially hire a martial arts director.

In fact, Zeng Shunxi, Xiao Shunyao and others had already started receiving training more than a month before joining the team.

This requirement is included in the contract.

If you want to get on board, you have to accept it.

Ning Luo can't change the overall environment, and he's too lazy to change it, so he just loves it to death.

But he still has the final say on his own piece of land.

After putting on makeup and changing into costume, Ning Luo posed in front of the mirror.

The makeup artist at the side couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and her pair of little white hands seemed to be eager to move.

In the field of vision, Ning Luo wore a crown inlaid with silver threads and her ponytail was tied up high. Under her jet-black hair was a delicate and handsome face, gentle but not coquettish, and her eyes were full of youthful spirit.

The white clothes on his body are simple and pure, with a hint of ethereal feeling, and the aqua blue corset adds a heroic spirit. He is like a young chivalrous hero who is elegant and easy-going, yet cold and aloof.

After slurping her saliva, the makeup artist started working directly. While she was saying that there were wrinkles on the clothes, her little hands were rubbing here and there, applying force to the leather drum.

The little fat girl couldn't help but click her tongue twice: "Don't say Brother Haning, you really have a bit of Murong Fu's 'weak pretty boy' flavor now~"

"It's not impossible for Murong Fu to have a childhood sweetheart named Yuyan~"

Ning Luo slapped the makeup artist's white hand away in disdain, made a casual joke, took out his cell phone, took a few selfies out of habit, and sent them to his girlfriends.

After thinking about it, I took a few more photos and gave Sister Nan a special treat.

This woman has been a little too hungry lately, so if she gives less, it may not be enough.

"That's probably enough~"

The little fat girl joked, "A few days ago, you teamed up with your old lover to throw dirty water on your sister Yuyan. By then, sister Yuyan will be heartbroken and turn to Mr. Duan Yu's arms~"

"I have no choice." Ning Luo sighed softly.

Not being able to get to know the Fairy Sister, Little Dragon Girl, and Wang Yuyan and have an in-depth communication with them will be a permanent pain in his life.

The makeup artist sister gave a sincere compliment.

"You are so shameless, Brother Ning."

Ning Luo slapped the rude guy on the buttocks with her backhand, making her soft flesh tremble and cry out.

After chatting for a while and talking a few hot words with Cha Mei, the only one who was at home taking care of the kids, Ning Luo put on his military coat and went out to the set.

The painful experience during the filming of "Changjin Lake" told him.

Down jackets are just for fun, but military coats are still needed when it matters most.
When Ning Luo arrived at the set, several other actors and extras had already arrived and were rehearsing with the director and martial arts instructor.

Ning Luo glanced at the outside of the set with some surprise. The senior in white clothes exuded a cool and classical aura, and gave people an inexplicable sense of déjà vu of white moonlight.

Isn't this sister's play in the evening? Why are you running over now?

So dedicated?

But without exaggeration or understatement, the senior's ancient costume looks pretty good.

Too bad no legs were shown.

Meeting the other party's gaze, Ning Luo gave her a stern look and then joined the drill team.

Looking at Ning Luo's back, Chen Duling pursed her lips and took a deep breath. Her breasts, which were not already plump, looked even less noticeable under the layers of ancient costumes.

Forcing down the unhappiness in her heart, Chen Duling silently comforted herself.

It's okay. It's okay.

If a dog barks at you, you can't bark back.

After listening to the director's explanation of the play, Ning Luo, with the help of the stage staff, put on the wire, and when he felt everything was going well, he made an OK gesture to the director.

Chen Duling calmly picked up a small stool and sat down behind the director.

She wanted to see what this guy was like.

　Still coding!
