That joke Fang Qingping told.

Nowadays, with the continuous development of the media, many good film and television works appear in our field of vision. These works, no matter the plot or the truth revealed in them, can make people deeply influenced and arouse the audience's thinking. For example, earlier works such as Red Sorghum and Long Inch Grass are excellent. Recently, an excellent film and television drama appeared in our field of vision, which caused a heated discussion among the public. This is an old pub.

Recently, just after the finale of The Old Pub aired, Fang Qingping posted a message on his social media that the second part of The Old Pub had been started. In fact, people who are familiar with teasing ideas know that the so-called second part has been turned on, but it is just a joke of Teacher Fang. On the contrary, this passage shows that the old pub will basically not shoot the second film. Then why didn't Mr Gao Mantang write a sequel? One of the reasons is that The Old Pub is based on the true story of the ancestor of the author Gao Mantang. So the story and plot are limited. Too much will be shoddy, and then pieced together will desecrate this story with a strong sense of history and dilute the original taste and feeling of the play. Therefore, in order to preserve the state and feeling of the old pub, Mr. Gao Mantang chose not to continue filming.

Secondly, the ultimate fate of the characters in the plot is perfectly displayed in the finale of the old pub. This shows that if you continue to write, the original plot in the first book cannot be preserved. The importance of TV drama art itself is the integrity of narrative. If the plot is changed, the original integrity will be lost.

This is my answer to the question why Gao Mantang didn't continue to write The Old Pub.
