Huayu after the system left

.............

Yanjing.

Inside a private room at a secluded club.

Inside, only Wang Huaqiang and a middle-aged man were sitting face to face.

However, the atmosphere between the two was a little off at this moment.

Because the topic they were discussing was related to the script of "Qingninglu".

Listening to the other side repeatedly spouting official jargon, they righteously and eloquently explained why the script wasn't very profound.

Finally, Brother Wang waved his hand impatiently, "Stop with the high-sounding pretense. Do you think I don't know the real reason?"

The middle-aged man smiled and replied, "Young Master Wang, that story really does undermine unity. It sparked a wave of public outcry shortly after the physical book was released. Have you forgotten?"

"Heh," Brother Wang said with a sneer, "Does he think everyone else is a fool?"

"Young Master Wang, you must heed the voice of the people."

"I'll just tell you one thing: Zhou Yang has recently had some inspiration for a story that takes place during the evacuation order in the Kangxi era of the Ming Dynasty. If he has nothing else to do to distract him, he's very likely to start writing it right away."

After leaving those words, Brother Wang left immediately.

The middle-aged man's face, however, looked grim.

Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty.

Relocation order.

In addition, there's Zhou Yang's style of writing about people's history.

It would be strange if they could write anything that would benefit their side; they might very well expose all the disgraceful aspects of the early days of the Qing Dynasty.

After all, just like those three Ming Dynasty novels, it will definitely be published in a meticulously researched version with detailed historical materials.

Emperor Qianlong, why didn't you handle things more cleanly back then?

That's enough.

Since we can no longer hold the line against the Ming Dynasty, let's do everything we can to maintain the perfect image of our Great Qing Dynasty.

What middle-aged people don't know is...

Zhou Yang did have such an inspiration, and had even written a story outline, but that was a long time ago.

However, Brother Wang stopped him, saying it wasn't the right time to reveal these things.

This led to the creation of the long serial novel, "The Story of the Law Enforcement Hall".

In other words, the writing was too slow and the plot hadn't fully unfolded yet.

Otherwise, once the central theme is fully revealed, anyone with some knowledge of history will know that "The Story of the Law Enforcement Hall" is actually pointing fingers at a certain group and cursing them.

After leaving the club.

Brother Wang then called Zhou Yang and said that the script issue had been resolved.

He was very confident about this because the group's behavior patterns and psychological trajectory had long been figured out.

Again.

It's not time to completely break ties yet.

Finally, Brother Wang reminded everyone to be careful during the preparation of the film, especially regarding costumes, and to make sure that no inferior products were mixed in.

Zhou Yang takes this very seriously.

So he personally took charge of the preliminary preparations for "Qingninglu".

Unexpectedly, a major problem was discovered.

Hanfu (traditional Han clothing).

The most traditional style is the cross-collar with the right lapel overlapping the left.

It began with the Yellow Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor wore his robes and the world was at peace.

The character 裳 in this sentence refers to a cross-collar top with the right lapel.

Over thousands of years of development, Hanfu has evolved into many other styles.

For example, round neck, ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), wide-sleeved shirt, and double-breasted shirt.

However, the cross-collar and right-fastening style remains the mainstream, especially in formal attire for various occasions.

Until the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

It was interrupted by violence, barbarity, and cruelty.

The problem that Zhou Yang discovered was...

The costume department prepared very few costumes with cross-collar and right-fastening closures, and only equipped a few main characters with them.

The most common style prepared is the open-front design.

It's not that there's anything wrong with this style of Hanfu, but it's the easiest to be mixed with inferior materials. With just a slight alteration, it can be replaced with the centipede buckle that is a symbol of Manchu clothing.

of course.

This alone cannot be used to say that someone did it intentionally.

But then, a few unusually glaring garments with the character "尸" (corpse) appeared among them.

Zhou Yang pointed at the clothes and asked, "What? Are we filming a time-travel drama? Or the kind where we travel from the Qing Dynasty back to the Ming Dynasty?"

The clothing manager immediately replied somewhat flusteredly, "Mr. Jay, it's probably a mistake by one of my subordinates. I'll go and fix it right away."

He picked up the clothes and turned to leave, but Zhou Yang called him back.

"etc."

The person in charge of the clothing could only stop in his tracks and asked somewhat guiltily, "Is there anything else you need, Mr. Jay?"

Zhou Yang stared at him for a long time with a forced smile.

Only when cold sweat broke out on the other person's forehead did he finally speak, "I will not pursue the matter no matter what the reason is, but if elements like the character 'corpse' or 'centipede' appear again, then you can expect to go to jail."

"what?"

"Wasn't I clear enough?"

"I understand, I understand."

"By the way, there are too few styles with cross-collar and right-fastening; it has to be the mainstream style. I need to see it before the shoot."

After saying this, Zhou Yang left immediately.

The person in charge of the clothing looked at his back with tears in his eyes.

A long time passed.

He then slapped himself hard across the face.

What's the point of taking that money?

Now things are much better; we've got our numbers on the major shareholder's end.

The man then quickly calculated in his mind, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

I thought to myself, "It's alright, it's alright."

If I take out all the money I embezzled and received, I should be able to meet Mr. Zhou's final request. With Tangren's future looking bright, I can't afford to lose this position.

As for taking money and not doing anything?

Please.

There's no contractual obligation to bind us.

Moreover, the other party was acting suspiciously when we met, only saying that they would give a large sum of money as a final payment after the project was completed.

This kind of person definitely wouldn't dare to make a big deal out of it.

Let's just pretend nothing happened.

at the same time.

Zhou Yang, on the other hand, was deep in thought.

He couldn't understand why those people would do such a dirty trick, and Brother Wang even specifically reminded him to pay attention to his clothing, as if he knew what they were thinking.

Is there anything I haven't noticed?

and many more.

Zhou Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Isn't the only thing we need to pay attention to Hanfu itself?

Since the beginning of the century.

This reignited the flames of the Hanfu revival movement among the public.

From being ridiculed at the beginning to now having various offline activities in full swing.

However, the internet is still filled with criticism and condemnation of this.

A common argument among the opposition is that reviving Hanfu is tantamount to feudal restoration.

However, the group that shouted the loudest had one thing in common: they were extremely supportive of the "Tang suit" with centipede buttons.

months ago.

At Tangren's annual meeting.

I don't know how the topic veered towards Tang suits.

Hu Ge gave a detailed explanation of what Tang suits are.

The explanation is quoted from Baidu Baike.

It's a Manchu-style jacket with a Western-style cut, and the name was given by foreigners, meaning clothing worn by people from the Tang Dynasty.

What happened next was quite interesting.

Less than half an hour later.

The Baidu Baike entry for Tang suit has completely changed; it has been changed to "traditional Chinese clothing."

Since that incident.

Zhou Yang only just began to understand the Hanfu revival movement and also learned that this trend was not the first time, and that the previous attempts had always been interrupted for various reasons.

It is clear that they were all done by the same group.

But why do it this way?

In other words.

Why are people so wary of Hanfu?
