Chapter 213: The Legend of Zhen Huang (2/5)
"The Legend of Zhen Huang" is a court drama, produced by the Television Art Center.
The director is Zheng Xiaolong.
Zheng Xiaolong, who drummed up the bull characters of "Longing", "The Story of the Editorial Department", "Beijingers in New York", and "Golden Wedding", is so low-key that many people don't know much about it.
Forget it, if you look at me, you should know that he is the core figure of the Beijing circle!
It was he who found Wang Shuo to participate in the screenwriter of "Editorial Story", which led to the later Beijing circle...
He has also filmed street dramas, several dramas after "Golden Wedding", such as "Ten Days of Life and Death", "Spring Grass", "Boss Ma Yiming"...
But the cultural heritage and living temperature in his works can throw off a few streets from his peers.
"The Legend of Zhen Huang" was established, just by looking at the basic team, you can know that it is definitely aimed at the drama king!
So, why is such a drama looking for a Cai Shaofen who can't even speak Mandarin?
is very simple, the reason is just because the original author of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Liuyuzi, is a fan of Cai Shaofen, and it is Cai Shaofen who she recommended to the director.
The old directors of Zheng Xiaolong's generation have special respect for the original author, so they found Cai Shaofen.
Liuyu Zi said this: The reason for creating "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is entirely because I watched Cai Shaofen's "Luoshen", and even the word Zhen Huan is taken from the names of Zhen Mi and Guo Huan, but when "The Legend of Zhen Huan" started filming, Cai Shaofen's image was no longer suitable for playing Zhen Huan - a little older...
Zheng Xiaolong auditioned and felt that she was quite suitable for the queen...
At the dinner table, Cai Shaofen took the initiative to chat about "The Legend of Zhen Huang"...
Lu Xiaoran looked at Tangtang: "Do you want to audition for "The Legend of Zhen Huang" too?"
Tangtang glanced at her: "That's "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!"
“… Almost, anyway, Sister Doudou is the same!"
Lu Xiaoran asked Cai Shaofen: "Sister Doudou, is the starring lineup confirmed?"
"I don't know, I don't think there yet..."
"Okay, I'll call and ask!"
Sugar Candy was curious: "Who are you asking?"
"Let me ask Bao Ye, he has a good relationship with Zheng Xiaolong..."
Zhao Baogang debuted with Zheng Xiaolong back then, and the relationship between the two is also a teacher and a friend.
……
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is definitely a work of conscience!
In those years, Yu Ma was flooded, TV series were proud of selling thunder, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" started with exquisite costumes, exquisite lines and etiquette, although there are still many shortcomings, but compared with the same theme of "Palace Lock Heart Jade", and even "Step by Step Shocking", although the latter is also exquisite, but compared to "The Legend of Zhen Huan", it is far inferior!
As for TVB's "Palace Scheming" and "King of Ten Thousand Phoenix"...
It's really like playing at home!
Of course, "Golden Branches" is a BUG, that is TVB's best actresses gathered together, the best Li Zi, the best Deng Cuiwen...
And that drama TVB spent a lot of money!
Hundreds of costumes, almost every main actor has more than a dozen outfits, and even the crew went to the Forbidden City to shoot exterior scenes.
A rare grandeur!
Screenwriter Zhou Xuming's masterpiece "Genesis", director Qi Qiyi, two "Genesis", "Heaven and Earth Boy", TVB gold medal director...
Everyone worked together to create "The Desire of the Golden Branch"...
"The Legend of Zhen Huan", directed by Zheng Xiaolong and written by Wang Xiaoping, the quality itself is guaranteed!
Why is "The Legend of Ruyi" not as good as "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?
Because the screenwriter of "The Legend of Ruyi" is Liuyu Zi, not Wang Xiaoping!
According to the husky, "The Legend of Zhen Huang" established Sun Li's status as the queen of TV dramas in one fell swoop - since then, Sun Li's title is Niangniang...
But...
Tangtang shouldn't be able to hold up a harem drama.
Zheng Xiaolong admires the kind of acting skills, and Tangtang is afraid that it will be difficult for him to get into his eyes.
If the protagonist is not good, then compete for supporting roles, anyway, there are a lot of supporting roles in "The Legend of Zhen Huang", and there are a lot of brilliant ones!
Of course, Sugar Candy may be reluctant to take on a supporting role...
After all, she is a year younger than Sun Li...
Moreover, Tangtang has already picked the beams and has a certain level and coffee position.
If you play Zhen Huan, then there is no problem, you will definitely compete, if you only play a supporting role, such as An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang and others...
I'm really not interested.
is not a newcomer, and has already passed the stage of rubbing the show.
Lu Xiaoran really wanted her to play that Concubine Hua, not to mention anything else, just the sentence 'slut is hypocritical' is exciting to listen to!
Sugar Sugar...
A soft girl, she is naturally resistant to such a role.
Lu Xiaoran persuaded her: "I'm afraid that the small screen in a few years will set off a harem stream!"
"With Zheng Xiaolong's level, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has a high probability of becoming the pinnacle of the harem stream. ”
“… The role of Concubine Hua is not an ordinary supporting role, the second female lead!"
Sugar Candy shook her head: "I know, I just read the script probably... But I don't think it's fun to play that kind of role. ”
Lu Xiaoran glanced at her, and suddenly asked, "Do you think it's boring, or are you afraid that you won't be able to act well?"
“… I haven't played a role like that... A little worried..."
"Have you read the script of "The Big Man"?"
"Look. ”
"I'll play that Zhao Tai!"
"Huh, that's bad..."
"Challenge yourself, the greatest happiness of an actor is to be able to play roles with different personalities... Playing a class of roles is easy to bring aesthetic fatigue to the audience... Let's play Concubine Hua together, and I will become a rich second generation, so I will be a gift to fans!"
Sugar Candy thoughtfully...
Lu Xiaoran made persistent efforts: "After acting in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", let's work together on a TV series... That character needs a strong aura, Concubine Hua, just take it as an experience!"
……
The next day, Lu Xiaoran and Tangtang accompanied Cai Shaofen to see Zheng Xiaolong.
As I said before, Tangtang's appearance, eyebrows and eyes, and full of Jiangnan Xiuyun are the material for acting a daughter at first glance.
But her personality is soft, and her daily outfits are also girlish, without that kind of reversal surprise.
The most important thing in film and television drama casting is surprises, especially for senior directors.
It's like a lot of movies, you can't go along the crutch all the time, and there are no surprises when you go on crutches!
She now wears a polka-dot chiffon shirt with a pair of high-waisted trousers, a pair of high-heeled sandals, and a ponytail as suggested by the costalist...
This kind of appearance is too suitable for playing glamorous and vicious supporting roles!
Sure enough, Zheng Xiaolong's eyes lit up when he saw her!
The rest of the story went much smoother.
Lu Xiaoran did not mention the sponsorship of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" - the TV Art Center has sponsors, and they do not share the profits of investors according to the way of account sharing, but how much you invest, how much will be returned to you at that time...
It's better to deposit in the bank!
You're going to say it's not fair...
You don't have to vote!
So what are these sponsors?
The picture is the network and the words 'production company XX' written at the beginning of the film!
As for profits?
It's considered to be the introduction fee for entering the industry.
This is a very common thing, and even Orange Images now accepts investment, and most of them do it this way...
