Behind the scenes

1. After receiving the script, Wan Qian carefully studied the biography of Liu Rushi by Chen Yinke, a master of Chinese culture. Because the book is written in classical Chinese, some places are difficult to understand, and she has read many other historical materials, so she has done a lot of homework. 2. Wan Qian spent half a year studying Guqin and Kunqu opera to be competent for Liu Rushi. Half a year's hard work is just a piece of Liu Rushi's Peony Pavilion. 3. There are quite a lot of difficult parts in Kunqu Opera. Wan Xi joked that if Liu Rushi was put in modern times, he must be the queen of sound. When Wan Xi filmed the excerpt of Peony Pavilion, the director asked, "have you finished?" Wanxi can only reluctantly reply, "I just finished singing a sentence.".

Behind the scenes production

In the process of creation, Changshu's excellent cultural heritage is integrated, including Changshu's poetry, calligraphy and painting, guqin display, and at the same time, Changshu's natural scenery and geographical features are fully displayed through the lens. In order to make the life scene of the film more real, Changshu restored and relocated the former living places of Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi, such as "Fushui villa" and "Hongdou villa". In order to highlight the Jiangnan temperament and authenticity of the film, all the main actors are required to come from the "south of the Yangtze River". The age difference between the male and female No.1 in Qin and Han Dynasties and Wan Xi is just in line with the real situation of Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi. Gao Feng, the chief director of the film, said that the literati in the film and TV series were either gags or intrigues in troubled times, and almost did not really reflect the real life of ancient literati. Liu Rushi is a film of "emotion, literati and Jiangnan".

Positive comments

1. Liu Rushi combines the historical quality permeated with the documentary spirit with the unique situation permeated with the life of cultural people, highlights the sex and gender in history, and reveals the implicit compassion temperament and rare humanistic care of Chinese films. The calmness and restraint shown in the image processing are also in line with the gender characteristics of the heroine, and interweave with the pavilions and misty rain in a large number of location scenes, which makes the film full of a kind of gentle literary atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River. Liu Rushi, to a certain extent, has changed the historical narrative mode of Chinese films, and through the quiet, gentle, warm and tolerant film narrative, has brought a kind of anticipated possibility for the "new literati" films. (< I > professor of Art College of Peking University < / I > < I > Li Daoxin < / I >) < I > < / I > . 2. "Liu Rushi" is a cool film like mint, which well grasps Liu Rushi's spiritual connotation and tears of separation. This is a long lost film with slow, scattered, elegant and quiet temperament. Wan Xi, who plays Liu Rushi, is slim and elegant. Although she is a new person, she has a rare headscarf between eyebrow raising and sleeve brushing. Qian Qianyi was also familiar in Qin and Han Dynasties. Chen Zilong is played by Feng Shaofeng, who is becoming more and more famous. After many years of waiting, the mainland finally has an outstanding student who is not able to resist the civil and martial arts. This film is a peaceful biography. It doesn't conflict for the sake of conflict, or even deliberately erase the conflict. The film is full of weeping, slow, scholarly and affectionate. (Li Xingwen < / I >) < I > < / I > 3. When the Chinese Blockbuster completely destroyed the true colors of the historical film, we saw an ancient costume film with the background of local government investment: "Liu Rushi". Even though many places are constrained by the investment budget and are a little short of money, in terms of charm, rhythm and characterization, "Liu Rushi" actually has a long lost sense of beauty, leisure and elegance. It goes back to the rare era of late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, and tells the painful choice of intellectuals in troubled times, as well as the contrast of gender. This is supposed to be the inherent type of Chinese movies. As a result, it just disappeared quietly and was ignored. Since the release of the new literati film Liu Rushi, the heroine Wan Xi has broken through the whine and superficiality of the previous Hong Kong version of Liu Rushi, and transformed Liu Rushi into a graceful, quiet, ambitious, ideal and talented loyal talented woman, whose wonderful performance has been praised by many film critics in the circle.

Negative evaluation

The plot of Liu Rushi is relatively flat and the lines are too "modern". (< I > timenet < / I >)
