Directors message(machine translated)
I am very happy that many audience friends have discovered some details and foreshadowings of 书卷一梦” that we buried in the play, such as the four famous scenes that have occurred in the feature film, which are basically the same as the episodes and scenes in “清宁一梦”. As of today, "书卷一梦” has been broadcast for more than half, and I think I can share with you the theme we want to express: how to look at "me", change "me", and become the real "me":
and how to look at "you", eliminate the inherent prejudice against "you", and see the real "you".
At the beginning of the story, we entered the world of the script with Song Xiaoyu. However, unlike Xiaoyu, each of us viewers has a God's perspective, and the only information Song Xiaoyu can get from the script is: Nan Heng used and deceived Song Yimeng, and made her into a human pig, and wiped out the Song family. So at first she had only one goal: to stay away from Nan Heng and actively save her life. In the process of contacting Nan Heng, she also empathized with Nan Heng several times and felt his kindness, but at that time Song Yimeng still witnessed the famous scenes of the script happening one after another, which meant that everything was difficult to change. Therefore, as her feelings with Nan Heng progressed, her inner struggle became more intense: once she accepted love and repeated the path of the script, Song Yiting would bury her happiness.
and the relatives of the Song family would be wiped out! It can be said that the more she went on the more obvious the inner struggle of the character became.
and she was framed by the predicted ending from the beginning.
In the later period, Song Xiaoyu no longer classified herself as a field outside this world. She integrated into this world, and her focus expanded from herself to every relative around her. Until the end, it rose to a more grand observation, and together with the paper man, A, B, and C in the script world, changed her fate against the will of heaven, and finally completed the growth that belonged to Song Xiaoyu alone.
In contrast to Song Yimeng, as a key figure in the script world, Nan Heng is an object of "gaze" and misinterpretation. "Killing God" is his label. He is ruthless and kills people without hesitation. This is also the "prejudice" that Song Yimeng. who has read the script, inevitably has against him. But gradually we find that Li Shiliu's flesh and blood seem to break through the script and grow out. If "Nan Heng" represents the appearance of being suppressed due to abnormal childhood experiences, then Li Shiliu is a new sunflower that grows on the dry land after Nan Heng struggles. He represents both Nan Heng's ideal and what Nan Heng should be, because if you tear off Nan Heng's label, he is Li Shiliu, if you take off Li Shiliu's mask, he is Nan Heng. The complexity of this character lies not in his powerful qualities, but in his hidden fragility and his self-rescue again and again in places that the "screenwriter" cannot reach.
If A Dream of Books" wants to discuss something with everyone. I think the first thing is to tear off the label and put down the prejudice. As the lines in the play say, "Break the rules and ruin the destiny. Secondly, through the changes of Song Xiaoyu and Nan Heng, we also want to call on each of us in reality to redefine our self-worth, abandon the unwarranted labels imposed on ourselves by the outside world, and rely on personal struggle to "change our fate".
No matter what you choose, as long as the pen of fate is firmly in your hand, then wherever the pen tip passes, it can become a painting.
Finally, thank you for your attention to "A Dream of Books" in the past present and future. We look forward to the audience friends exploring with us the occurrence of the remaining famous scenes. Song Xiaoyu's choice, Li Shiliu's exposure, and a series of "butterfly effects in the future.
