Why are real names of ancient people not allowed to be used in costume dramas like "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an"?

Not using the real names in the original work also shows respect for the original work. After all, the remake of the TV series is still very different from the original work. The details and character expressions have different effects from the original work. , so if you directly use the real name in the original work, it will be easily misunderstood by the audience. Moreover, when the director is filming a TV series, it is impossible to film it exactly according to the original work. After many small details have been changed, it will be different from the original work. This will confuse people who have read the original work and cannot tell what is real and what is fiction.

And this TV series is a remake. If the Radio, Film and Television Administration does not change the names of the characters and just copy the names in the history books, I believe the Radio, Film and Television Administration will not let them pass it easily. Yes, after all, this is a novel, which has educational and dissemination significance. If the disseminated information and effect are not good, and the real names in the original work are used, this will have a very big impact on history.

Using other names instead can actually avoid the responsibility for any situations and bad results in the future. In fact, if the main actors of an adapted novel are truly involved in the plot, they can use any name without being too outrageous, and it will not affect the effect of the entire TV series at all. Anyone who has watched Chang'an Twelve Chens should know the actors in it. Everyone is very dedicated and real. The plot is very logical, and the names are not too abrupt, making it very immersive. Anyway, I watched it with relish.

Even if the names are changed, the general historical events can still be clearly displayed in front of the audience. In fact, the purpose of not using the names in the original work is to enhance the audience's memory of the actors. Using a new name is more substitutive. If you use the real name in the original work, you will only remember the name but not the actor's face. The new name is new. ’s code name, when we think of the show, we will know who plays him, which is also a potential publicity for the actor.
