Entertainment: Let you come to the rescue, and you will play seven roles

It is impossible that the Central Propaganda Department has not discovered the problems of palace fighting dramas, especially Qing palace dramas, until today. The reason why it asked him for help today is, firstly, to collect evidence, and secondly, out of ideological considerations.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there are deeper considerations for the final decision to ban the app.

For example, we must be vigilant against the hidden resurgence of feudal dregs.

The feudal remnants such as the order of hierarchy and the concepts of legitimate and illegitimate children shown in palace fighting dramas/Qing palace dramas may have a potential impact on the sense of equality in modern society.

Compared with these ideological dregs left over from history, official departments in the new era would rather promote the positive elements of China's excellent traditional culture, such as craftsmanship, patriotism, moral thoughts, and so on.

In addition, palace fighting dramas/Qing Dynasty palace dramas will affect the shaping of historical perspectives and break the balance between artistic creation and historical truth.

On this issue, the focus is on the dispute over historical authenticity and the re-positioning of national narrative.

Except for the "Palace" series of TV dramas directed by Su Qin himself, most palace fighting dramas/Qing palace dramas generally have serious problems of historical tampering.

For example, fictional relationships between characters can be used to turn historical figures who originally had little or no relationship with each other into partners.

Another example is the glorification of the rule of tyrants, the portrayal of the brutal emperor as an affectionate male protagonist, the female audience's favorite plot of "girl chasing boy", and even many bloody plots of princes and princes, emperors and generals competing for the favor of a woman.

All these things may blur the public's understanding of real history and trigger criticism from academia and the public. If this continues, these unofficial histories may even occupy the public's mind and the true historical facts will no longer be recognized.

In particular, the history of the Qing Dynasty is complex, with many negative impacts, and also involves multi-ethnic integration and modern humiliation. Excessive focus on court life may weaken the presentation of the full picture of history.

Therefore, the policy that the Central Propaganda Department needs to implement now is to encourage themes that demonstrate the sense of community of the Chinese nation, to re-consolidate public ideology, and to fight for the great national rejuvenation.

In addition, the Central Propaganda Department must also consider the impact between the market and culture, and put a timely stop to film and television investment behavior that prioritizes traffic, so as to prevent aesthetic fatigue among the audience.

Driven by the profit-seeking nature of capital, a large number of inferior screenwriters have produced a large number of homogeneous works.

These highly homogenized Qing Dynasty dramas once used the model of big IP + popular stars to launch overwhelming publicity, coupled with the mindless flattery of brainless fans, making them the darlings of capital.

However, a large number of copycat works have led to aesthetic fatigue among the audience and squeezed the living space of other themes, especially resulting in a lack of broadcast resources for good dramas and leaving veteran actors with no work to do, which would be a fatal blow to the domestic film and television industry.

The last reason, and the one that Su Qin is most concerned about, is the ideological risks of international communication.

This would seriously affect his plan to revive Dragon Country culture and affect his becoming the God of Entertainment, which he absolutely would not allow.

The spread of a large number of low-quality palace fighting dramas/Qing Dynasty dramas overseas will cause overseas audiences to misinterpret the feudal elements in the dramas as a microcosm of contemporary Dragon Country society, which will seriously damage the country's image.

For example, in foreign fashion shows and model shows, foreigners often perceive the Dragon Country contestants’ makeup as the classic squinty eyes and other ugly images.

Once this negative image becomes solidified, it will take him and the entire country a lot of time and money to cleanse it.

In short, this action is not a simple "ban" on Qing Dynasty palace dramas, but to achieve three goals through content guidance and subject matter balance.

First, cultural governance: curbing the disorderly expansion of capital and optimizing the film and television ecology;

The second is the shaping of values: resisting feudal dregs and strengthening modern civilization awareness;

The third is historical education: maintaining the seriousness of history and enhancing national cultural confidence.

This process not only reflects the initiative of ideological management, but also reflects the inevitable need for upgrading mass cultural consumption and the results of correcting market errors.

After considering various matters, Su Qin accepted the task assigned by Minister Sun without any objection.

"Please rest assured, Minister Sun, I already have a working idea. I will publish relevant remarks on the media platform tomorrow at the latest to ensure that the task is completed."

After getting his personal promise, Sun Ping breathed a sigh of relief and patted Su Qin on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Su Qin, I'll leave this matter to you. As the saying goes, with great ability comes great responsibility. There is no one more suitable than you to handle this matter."

"But please rest assured that the Central Propaganda Department will not treat you unfairly, and your superiors will not treat you unfairly either. Your efforts today will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Can you get rewards?

First of all, he didn't care what he would get in return, but he immediately took out two scripts from the drawer.

"Minister Sun, why don't you take a look at this and see if I can change the audience's prejudice against historical dramas by launching these three major projects, The Qin Empire, The Emperor of Han Wu, and The Ming Dynasty, into the market?"

"You kid, have you actually prepared a new historical drama long ago?" Sun Ping looked at Su Qin in surprise, totally unable to believe the three scripts he handed over.

Of course he didn't know that this was what Su Qin had just put in the drawer after purchasing it from the system. After all, he was so busy with work that he had no time to print it out.

Su Qin certainly would not undermine himself, and simply said: "Each of these three books has an introduction and outline of more than 10,000 words. After you read them on the spot, you should have a rough idea of ​​what they are."

What else can Sun Ping say?

He immediately opened the script and began to read the introduction and outline.

Just after reading the relevant content about the Qin Empire, my hands were already shaking slightly with respect.

"Su Qin, Su Qin, you are truly a genius in the film and television industry. Everything you wrote in the script perfectly reproduces what we know about the Qin Dynasty from archaeological research. This is really rigorous and can be regarded as official history."

"After I return, you can arrange for relevant leaders to study this. I will be able to give you a definite answer in three days at the most. You can also postpone the time for issuing a public statement a little bit. It won't be too late to issue it after I hear from you."

He was thinking in his mind that if nothing unexpected happened, they would use the three scripts provided by Su Qin to shoot three TV series that would be enough to shock the entire Dragon Country.

Even in the next few decades, there will be no new historical dramas that can shake the status of these three top dramas.

Sun Ping hurriedly left with the script given by Su Qin, and Su Qin called Xiao Xiang in again.

"I just gave Minister Sun three scripts for costume dramas. I believe he will definitely make the decision for us to shoot within three days. I need you to help me find some actors."

He handed the prepared list to Xiao Xiang. After Xiao Xiang took a glance at it, his brows did not relax.

"It's no problem for us to shoot a costume drama. I also believe that with your ability, it's impossible for you to come up with a bad script."

"But what Minister Sun has entrusted you to do will put you on the opposite side of the vast majority of the audience. Are you really ready to bear this wave of anger?"
