The Application of Classical Poetry in Modern Film and Television Works

In recent years, Ip movies and costume dramas are popular trends in film and television circles. Especially some costume dramas, film and television dramas are not only long but also expressive, and the requirements for actors are not as high as those of movies, but they are also very challenging. Recently, few new movie actors are really powerful except vases, and they are all halo stars. These films, Tiny Times, You Are Still Here, Trees in Summer and Looking Up to Heaven, can't bear to vomit. On the contrary, some film and television dramas have surprised the audience, not only the ratings are bursting, but also the word of mouth is constantly applauding. Walking on thin ice, Queen of the Palace, Nirvana in Fire, Royal Love in Ruyi Palace and so on, these actors are all very powerful. According to some costume dramas, people began to pay attention to classical culture. The activity of these ancient film and television works on the silver screen not only brought dramatic and entertaining audio-visual feasts, but also brought the revival of classical culture, which was the social significance and cultural influence beyond their economic benefits and artistic values as works of art, and increased the heavy historical and cultural accumulation.

There is no doubt that empresses have a good reputation in the palace. Zhen Xuan, played by Sun Li, shows many people the sinister ancient palace from the initial ignorance and simplicity to the last woman who is good at seeking power, but before that, we should see the potential details and beauty of ancient poetry based on film and television dramas.

14 episode, Zhen Xuan described the last sentence of Cao Cao's "Short Songs", "The moon stars are scarce, blackbirds fly south, and there is no branch to follow", describing that An Lingrong found a queen to rely on (home), but the original intention was that she could not find a home, which expressed the opposite meaning to the original. Although such a modification will make the audience ambiguous, there is also a scene in which An Lingrong sings "The Song of Picking Lotus". According to the lyrics sung by An Lingrong, he created seasons, scenes and costumes: in midsummer, the emperor and a group of concubines feasted in a pavilion surrounded by green water, and the lotus leaves on the lake were shaded. This is the ethereal song of "Picking Lotus" floating in the distance. Lanzhou floats on the lake slowly and clearly. At this time, the songs and pictures set off against each other, which greatly satisfied people's audio-visual desire, made people relaxed and happy, and at the same time exuded a strong cultural heritage and a great sense of art.

Classical poetry is presented in this way, which vividly renders the scenes of film and television works and touches people's hearts in a more poetic way; There is also a passage in which the emperor quoted Zhu Dunru's "Partridge Sky" in the Southern Song Dynasty, saying, "The Golden Que Jade Pagoda is unwilling to return, and the plum blossoms in Luoyang are drunk". In the play, the emperor thought he had found the right person, so he proudly quoted this sentence, which shows that his pursuit of beauty is full of ambition. However, King Guo Jun told Yu seriously that this is Li Bai's poem, and the emperor likes Li Bai's poems and songs best. This was originally a test of Yu's literary accomplishment in the county, and he wanted to know if it was an impostor. This is a foreshadowing, but if the audience doesn't know the source of the word, they won't understand it. Therefore, this relatively uncommon quotation has certain cultural requirements for the audience or appreciator, and under such pressure, especially writers and producers, should improve their cultural level and accomplishment.

There are also some famous movies that use classical poetry. A well-known episode of House of Flying Daggers was created by Li Yannian's Beauty in the North in the Han Dynasty. Zhang Ziyi sang, "There are beauties in the north, but they are independent after leaving the world. If you care about the city and then care about the country, you would rather not know the whole city and country, and it is difficult to find beautiful women. " There is also a quotation from Qin Guan's ci in Crazy Stone: "If two feelings last for a long time, how can we seize the day?" Omitting "long time" means "long time". Personally, I don't think this is the embodiment of artistic or literary accomplishment, but just a cognitive mistake or mistake. Because there are traces to follow for the change of classics, rather than a short text conversion as mentioned above, Zhen Xuan's adaptation can give new meaning in a specific context, which is probably just a mistake, probably limited by the literary literacy and creative attitude of contemporary creators, and the reason for such a bleak result is probably because the creators lack profound classical literary literacy.

The application of classical literature in film and television plays is becoming a trend or a sign, but it potentially puts forward many requirements for creators, such as artistic accomplishment of literary literacy and so on. Film and television art and classical poetry are compatible because of their similarity, and classical poetry is widely used in film and television works. However, due to the particularity of film and television media, when quoting classical poetry, we also hope that the creators can carefully arrange it in a specific context, instead of "shoddy and ambiguous", combine specific audio and video, give full play to the advantages of vivid images, avoid mistakes, and pay attention to the accumulation of classical cultural literacy.
