Jokes aside, everyone has also begun to seriously consider the shooting of the next movie, and with the first two as a foundation, the box office will be more guaranteed.

The subject matter that Mai Xiaoji thought of in his heart was, of course, the women in the current circle of the ancients, the Zhao sisters, Yang Yuhuan, Yu Xuanji, and of course, the eternal Empress Wu Zetian.

didn't agree to it first, this matter needs to be carefully considered, the current film market is highly competitive, and a few have been released, but the box office is still dismal.

asked Li Qingzhao tentatively, and her answer was very fast, Wu Zetian was preferred, and the empress was a representative of outstanding women.

Wu Zetian's story is familiar, serving two generations of kings, experiencing ups and downs in his early years, killing the Li family's children and flower-like male pets, etc., there are many stories that can be adapted.

Also, Wu Zetian is more famous than other ancient women, and it is difficult to innovate, but all those who shoot exquisitely have good results.

Seeing that Qi Zhounan reposted an article on precautions for film shooting, knowing that he hadn't rested yet, Mai Xiaoji sent a message asking if it was appropriate for Wu Zetian to shoot the next movie.

Qi Zhounan replied in voice that it can be filmed, but it is best to be a TV series, a movie can only choose an important node to shoot, which is not enough to show the person's life experience.

But there are too many similar themes now, so we must give a pertinent evaluation of the empress, don't just think about photographing the empress's private life, and rely on the so-called secret history to attract attention.

This is natural, the film and television programs filmed in Qizhou South are very rigorous.

High-quality scripts!

This is the hard condition mentioned by Qi Zhounan, Mai Xiaoji contacted Wu Zetian and chatted with her, "Empress, I want to make a TV series with you as the theme, is it okay?"

"Hehe, of course. Wu Zetian made a smiling expression, and he did not object to this, since ancient times, dramas, novels, films, and television with Wu Zetian as the theme have emerged in endlessly.

"If it's convenient, you have to provide a script. ”

"If I write it, I will naturally set things right. I also happened to watch a TV series about myself, and I was really angry, a generation of empresses filmed as a demon girl!" Wu Zetian was furious.

"It's very angry, but history can be rewritten, and there are people who reject women in power in later generations, and they don't write it well. Mai Xiaoji was secretly happy in his heart, of course he wanted everyone to see a different empress.

However, Wu Zetian made a hand-waving expression, "Women are in power, and they are disliked, so it's just enough to scold me." But it is the same, it is not a burden on Li Zhi, saying how cowardly he is and how mediocre he is. As everyone knows, Li Zhi was in power and created a prosperous era beyond his father's reach! However, if the sky is not a holiday, and the longevity of the yang is not long, if it is not for me, if it is not for the protection of the Li dynasty for thousands of generations, how can he issue an edict before his death, and it is difficult to make a decision on major military affairs, and discuss it with me. ”

Mai Xiaoji's eyes lit up, and he only thought about how to rehabilitate Wu Zetian, but he didn't think about the problem that Li Zhi, a favorite wife and madman, was also smeared by history. Li Shimin's carefully selected heir to the throne opened up the rule of Yonghui, the largest territory of the Tang Dynasty.

To say that the reason why history has such a low evaluation of Li Zhi is that his style is too advanced and has cultivated a good daughter-in-law.

"Hehe, I think, Gaozong didn't think about making you emperor at that time, right?" asked Mai Xiaoji teasingly.

"Hehe, my son is really not as good as me!"

Mai Xiaoji gave a few thumbs up one after another, his son is unproductive, his qualifications are ordinary, he just comes by himself, he has courage!

Then write the script first, Wu Zetian readily agreed, and then Mai Xiaoji discussed with Kong Qun and Lu Lifeng, with Wu Zetian as the theme, and strive to be closer to the historical truth and restore a real Wu Zetian.

Kong Qun and Lu Lifeng both trust Mai Xiaoji very much, and they have no objection to this, not to mention that the previous scripts were all provided by Mai Xiaoji, and a fee will be provided.

However, Mai Xiaoji did not agree to start writing immediately, and he still needs to think carefully. He knows Qi Zhounan's character too well, whether it is a movie or a TV series, he strives for high-quality products, and the last "Wen Ji Returns to Han" almost didn't mess up, and it is profitable to publicize it in many aspects.

Nowadays, the investment in filming a long-form series will not be less, and it may exceed the sum of the previous two films.

Three days later, the script came over, but Di Renjie was in charge. Wu Zetian was used to it, he was too lazy to write this kind of thing, and arranged for Lao Chen to write it on his behalf.

The name is very domineering, "The Heroine of the World".

After getting the script, Mai Xiaoji couldn't wait to read it, and was very interested at first, but then it became boring, and finally he went through it hastily, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

There are many reasons, first, Di Renjie's writing is sophisticated and talented, but this is a script, which has a fixed format, and it is fundamentally different from novels.

Second, singing praises and virtues, a lot, a piece of praise, and the ministers chant the queen of heaven at every turn, the Empress Shengming and the like, and you will be disgusted if you see too much.

Third, the plot is bland, a bit like a running account, people just see a diligent and fair politician, without too many waves and lack of highlights.

There's no way, no one can write it, hit it back and rewrite it.

"Xiao Ji, this is the real empress. Di Renjie was surprised to see his script being beaten back, and hurriedly explained.

"Elder Guo, what everyone wants to see is a flesh-and-blood empress, not a high-ranking authority. McEgie explained why.

"The person in power is supreme, at that time, which courtier was not trembling?"

Mai Xiaoji was speechless, it seems that Di Renjie is very insistent on his script. In feudal society, officials crushed people to death, and the emperor claimed to be the son of heaven, which was equivalent to a god-like existence in the eyes of his subjects.

Let's talk to Wu Zetian to avoid misunderstandings.

"The Empress, it is not appropriate for the elder of the country to write it, and if it is streamlined, it will become a history book. ”

Wu Zetian did not reply to the message, and Mai Xiaoji was not in a hurry, this was equivalent to disobedience in ancient times, and Long Yan must have been furious. No matter what she thinks, the script must be changed, and not many people want to watch such a Wu Zetian on the screen.

Besides, the script will not pass in the group.

After a long time, Wu Zetian sent a message, and after a sigh expression, he sighed with emotion: "One person is used to being strong, and he is unwilling to show the other side of women." ”

"On the contrary, people nowadays, well, including the ancients, are actually more willing to know about a living empress. ”

"Hehe, you said before that you want to write about a real emperor, but now you have changed, and you have to write about life. Wu Zetian laughed, but obviously dissatisfied, Mai Xiaoji was worried that a few words would pop up on the screen, drag it out, and cut it!

"Empress, life is not a secret history. I think you, as a wife, mother and daughter, must also have a soft and gentle side. The Empress is just one of the characters, and she shouldn't be the full percentage. McXiaoji said.

"If that's the case, won't it become a history of blood and tears?"

Wu Zetian asked rhetorically, this time it was Mai Xiaoji's turn to be speechless, the history of blood and tears!
