Shadow queen development plan

This kind of narrative mode of film has slowly become popular after 2000, and it is a narrative mode that has been recognized by the market.

After all, innovation means risk, and for large companies, the uncertainty caused by risk must be avoided.

When a movie invests more than 100 million U.S. dollars, investors must first think about capital preservation, rather than using radical methods to obtain more profits.

"Xia Zong Guo" is the first film project that Keishi shot with a cost of hundreds of millions. How could Qiye delegate the power to let this guy mess around.

Under the control of the producer of Qiye, the narrative of "Xia Zong Guo" is not too surprising.

But this does not mean that the story has no bright spots. Before the second duel of swordsmen, the film spent a lot of pen and ink to show the culture and scenery of Japan in the Edo period.

Anyway, the rustic city in the movie does not exist in reality, so Kiriji used his imagination to make a magical change.

It can be said that this city incorporates all the elements that Japan can join in that period.

From a historical perspective, this rustic city is different from all Japanese cities in history.

In history, no city in Japan would be so cumbersome to build, adding so much content that did not need to appear.

But on the other hand, this is the epitome of the entire Edo period in Japan, and a gospel for lovers of ancient Japanese culture.

Because you can see all the buildings and customs you want to see here.

For example, the huge Japanese castle similar to the castle tower, commercial streets, taverns, and men's favorite playground-customs shop.

To be precise, Xiaoyu’s shop should be a geisha shop, which is very different from what everyone thinks.

Although it is a place for men to have fun, there is no service beyond the age of the geisha shop.

This really has nothing to do with the age rating of movies, it's just the relationship between ancient Japanese customs and industries.

The custom industry in ancient Japan is somewhat similar to that of the Celestial Empire, but it is not exactly the same.

In fact, the customs in ancient Japan were not as casual as everyone thought.

What kind of kimono is done for convenience, to a large extent comes from the lust of outsiders.

The real ancient Japanese custom industry has its own industry standards.

First is the dress. I won’t say anything about 12 formal dresses for women in ancient Japan. Those things are similar to ancient European panniers.

Although it looks gorgeous, it is a torture for people who wear clothes.

Generally speaking, Japanese women usually wear simple kimonos similar to modern versions.

In fact, kimono has always been very particular.

For example, for the knotting of a belt, the knots of married women were in the front at the earliest, while the knots of unmarried women were at the back.

However, all the knots of the kimono were tied at the back.

This is a bit similar to the fact that the second master of the Three Kingdoms period wears a green turban, and everyone thinks it is fine.

But after the Yuan Dynasty, who else have you seen someone wearing a green turban on their head?

Well, the second master of Cos doesn't count when singing.

The knotting of Japanese women's kimono is the same. After the earliest time has passed, only women with special services will tie the knot in front of the kimono.

By the way, if the one tied in front is an oiran, then there is also a special name called "One Night Wife".

I believe you all know what it means.

Note that there is a difference between Japanese oiran and heavenly oiran.

Because Japanese geishas are very famous, many people mistakenly believe that oiran is a high-level geisha based on the inertia of the heavens.

But in fact, Geisha and Oiran are two completely different beings.

In fact, the difference can be seen from the name. Geisha's "gi" and "prostitute" are two words.

Geisha specializes in performing arts and not selling themselves, while oiran is selling themselves.

If you really want to say, the oiran should be a high-level wandering girl.

In the past, when the goldfish was in the Japanese context, there was a mention of a swimmer. This is the name of the Japanese special service woman.

What is interesting is that although Oiran is a high-level travel girl, there is a clear distinction between the two.

When a female enters the industry, she is divided by the old bustard as a wandering girl or an oiran.

Once you become a wandering girl, it is impossible to advance to become an oiran.

And the status gap between the two is not just a little bit.

It can be said that the differential treatment between the wandering girl and the oiran is a microcosm of Japanese class society.

You must know that oiran had a very high social status at the time.

It's not something ordinary people can see. There are many people who spend their money to see the oiran.

And the wandering girl is just a wandering girl in the end.

Of course, the selection criteria for oiran are also very harsh, not to say that the old bustard thinks you are the oiran, then you are the oiran.

The vast majority of oirans are of noble origin and had to sell their lives because of their crimes.

Only a very small number of ordinary women with extraordinary beauty could be selected as the oiran, but this probability is really too small.

Of course, to become an oiran is more than just good-looking.

Just like the oiran of the celestial dynasty needs to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, with high artistic attainments.

The Japanese oiran also wants to cultivate her artistic talents from an early age, such as tea ceremony, dance, musical instruments, etc...

Every qualified oiran is a talented person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is piled up with money.

Precisely because of this, Oiran's expenses are not something ordinary people can afford.

And the benefactors want to be the guests of the oiran, not just spending money.

According to the rules, the benefactor needs to meet with the oiran three times.

The first time I just met, I couldn't even speak.

It wasn't until the second time to communicate with Oiran.

If the oiran is satisfied with this man, then there will be a third meeting.
