Chapter 1253: Bai Suzhen
Yang Ming could feel that Minister Guo and Tao Lao were not as good as they seemed, and they had confidence in winning this "The Legend of the White Snake", which is known as the four great love legends in China, but he did not open his mouth to emphasize what to prove.

No one knows better than him the energy contained in this TV series.
This is a TV series that is enough to make generations remember from time to time.
In the previous life, "The Legend of the New White Lady" had too many successes to count.
This is a classic drama that is popular in China and sensational in the Chinese world, the first musical in China, and premiered on Taiwan in 92, setting a record for the highest ratings. In 93, CCTV was introduced and became the annual ratings champion. It is popular in China and affects hundreds of millions of Chinese. Subsequently, it was introduced to Japan, Vietnam and other Asian overseas countries, creating a ratings miracle. The play is the first of the top ten classic costume dramas on CCTV, and its social effect and influence continue to this day and endure for a long time.
The play covers a variety of Chinese studies, including traditional Chinese opera, traditional Chinese medicine, religion, and poetry. The integration of classical culture and folk customs is one of the reasons for its long-term artistic vitality. It also makes this drama like "spring and snow, the sound of nature".
Countless Chinese people are vying to imitate Bai Suzhen's appearance in the play. created a glorious era of mythological film and television dramas, and established Zhao Yazhi's status as the first classical beauty. This play is based on "The Legend of Leifeng Pagoda" written by the owner of Yushan and the novel "The Complete Biography of the White Snake" written by the master of Menghuaguan, which is the most poignant and romantic love mythological story in China.
The success of "The Legend of the New White Lady" in the previous life is unquestionable.
Yang Ming remembers that every time it was summer vacation, several TV stations began to take turns to screen this TV series, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this TV series is his childhood.
Even in 2009, there were still 6 satellite TV group bombardments that were rebroadcast in turn, and by 2013, Sichuan Satellite TV alone had been rebroadcast three times, and other provincial satellite TV stations were also expected to broadcast one after another.
And twenty years have passed since the filming time of this TV series.
Twenty years.
This TV series has been replayed and screened countless times, and it has endured, affecting the values, aesthetics, and mate selection of entire generations, leaving many good memories for people of that era, including Yang Ming, "The Legend of the New White Lady" is an indispensable part of the good memories of childhood.
In the previous life, this TV series could be seen in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and even any corner of the world where there were Chinese.
Although there are no awards that have really been won, and the few awards that have been won in Japan have never hindered the influence and status of this TV series in its previous life.
When Yang Ming was at the meeting today, he heard the speeches of Minister Guo and several high-level officials of the Ministry of Culture, and he thought of "The Legend of the New White Lady".
Now when Minister Guo hopes that he can once again come up with a film and television work that can promote Chinese culture, whether it is the TV series itself or the social impact, it cannot be worse than "Winter Love Song", and he decided to move the TV series from the past life to the present life.
Compared with the status of "The Legend of the New White Lady" in the hearts of the Chinese, "Winter Love Song" is too far behind even if it is popular.
Moreover, in East Asia in this world, but in the Greater Chinese cultural circle with the Chinese as the core, since the government in this world attaches great importance to film and television production with Chinese cultural propaganda, Yang Ming naturally wants to come up with a better script.
"The Legend of the New White Lady" has been favored by countless Chinese audiences since its premiere in the past 20 years, and after 2010, after being replayed countless times, there are still countless Chinese people who are fascinated by it, and even formed a classical feeling in the hearts of many audiences, which can be described as never tired of watching.
Why?
In Yang Ming's view, in addition to the outstanding performances of the actors, what is more important is to rely on the essence of the traditional "The Legend of the White Snake" and the cultural charm formed by the profound Chinese culture and folk color, and the integration of classical culture and folk customs is the fundamental achievement of the artistic vitality of "The Legend of the New White Lady".
The content of 50 episodes covers various categories of Chinese culture such as traditional Chinese opera, poetry, traditional Chinese medicine, religion, folk customs, etc., and the screenwriters of the previous life held a serious attitude towards traditional culture, and showed us the original folk legend of "The Legend of the White Snake".
This is the charm of "The Legend of the New White Lady".
That's why when Yang Ming heard that the high-level officials paid more and more attention to the export of Chinese culture, he immediately thought of this TV series.
There may be other TV series that are better than "The Legend of the New White Lady", but Yang Ming believes that now is the best time to make "The Legend of the New White Lady".
After chatting with Minister Guo and Tao Lao for a few words, Yang Ming said goodbye and left, the reason was to write a script.
When they were leaving, the two repeatedly told Yang Ming not to be under pressure, just let it be, don't deliberately force it, and make Yang Ming cry and laugh, but he didn't say anything, let the facts prove it.
He drove all the way home, Su Su took Tongtong out to go shopping with a few girlfriends, he happened to be alone at home, and the quiet environment was just right for him to think about how to perfectly copy the "Legend of the New White Lady" in the previous life to this life.
In fact, there is not much that needs to be modified, the script hardly needs any modifications, the background is in ancient times, unlike other modern classic films and television, Yang Ming needs to make some changes to the background when he moves to this world.
The only thing that worries Yang Ming is that compared with the previous life, the quintessential Peking Opera in this life has a much greater influence.
"The Legend of the New White Lady" was a classic Huangmei rap in the previous life, will it be a bit out of place if it is put in this life?
But Yang Ming thought about it for a while and still didn't make changes.
Or Huangmei rap.
Because of the emergence of great men, the government has protected this traditional Chinese culture very well, and even after nearly a hundred years of subtle influence, the status of Peking Opera in China is comparable to that of Western opera.
There will be no more like in the previous life, if you go to the opera, it will be elegant, if you go to see the Peking Opera, it will be old-fashioned!
There has never been a market for this kind of thinking in this world.
At least Yang Ming witnessed that every Saturday and Sunday, when several large drama theaters in Yanjing had Peking Opera performances at night, almost all of them were full.
And it is very common for adults to take children and young couples to see it.
The reason why he is worried is that he is afraid that Peking Opera in this life has not declined like in the previous life, and there are too many supporters and fans, if these people question why Yang Ming uses Huangmei Opera instead of Peking Opera, it is really a bit troublesome.
After all, this thing can't be explained.
However, this thought only flashed in Yang Ming's mind, and he didn't want to change the classic collocation in his previous life.
Now his headache is the choice of cast.
This "The Legend of the New White Lady", he is ready to shoot it himself, because no one knows better than him how to shoot this TV series perfectly.
Susu!
Bai Suzhen!
Yang Ming's pen wrote the two names on paper.
There is no doubt that the role of Bai Suzhen, he is ready to hand it over to Su Su to play.
Although the 23-year-old Su Su is still much inferior to Zhao Yazhi, who played Bai Suzhen at the peak in his previous life, Yang Ming feels that Su Su is enough to play this role.
But the acting skills are not too much different.
After all, Su Su was not only born in a professional class, but also ranked among the best in school, and after being honed by Yang Ming's several film and television films, her acting skills have been well received by well-known people in the circle.
Sister Zhu also complained about this.
Oriental DreamWorks has two weirdos.
One is Yang Ming, who is not only the boss, but also can write scripts, film, and sing, and is an absolute phenomenon star in the Chinese entertainment industry.
If other celebrities had such popularity as Yang Ming, it is estimated that the advertising endorsement would have been soft a long time ago.
But Yang Ming has never received any formal advertising endorsement so far.
And he doesn't really like to be interviewed yet.
Sister Zhu hated this.
The second weirdo is Su Su!
Four years ago, Su Su made her debut as Ren Yingying in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" directed and acted by Yang Ming, and her appearance was very amazing.
Ren Yingying's style is known as one of the young actresses who best meets the aesthetic views of Chinese in ancient costumes in the past decade.
Su Su was able to receive such high praise in the circle when she made her debut, which shows how amazing her costume style is.
It became an overnight hit.
As long as she wants, she can immediately become the so-called jade-female head of the Chinese entertainment industry.
But what is surprising is that after filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Su Su concentrated on going back to school to study, and in the face of countless drama appointments that flew like snowflakes, all of them were pushed aside.
Su Su's decision almost didn't make Sister Zhu angry.
You must know that among these drama appointments at that time, there were many invitations from some famous directors, who were able to take a fancy to Su Su and were willing to let Su Su be the female number one in their play, which was a good thing in the eyes of most people in the entertainment industry.
Even so, Su Su still refused all of them.
Sister Zhu, who had just joined Oriental DreamWorks at that time, had some guesses about the relationship between Su Su and Yang Ming, but she was not too familiar with it after all.
She tried hard to persuade Su Su, but Su Su was indifferent.
Until the end, Yang Ming came forward to tell Sister Zhu the reason.
If nothing else, basically Su Su will not take other people's plays except for Yang Ming's plays.
Sister Zhu was immediately stupid when she heard this result.
Yang Ming can also understand.
However, he understood Su Su better.
To be honest, according to Su Su's original intention, acting has never been her dream, nor is it her ideal.
If it weren't for the fact that Yang Ming's future path intersected, and he could get closer to Yang Ming in the future, Su Su would never have chosen the path of an actor.
Yang Ming has memories of his childhood sweetheart with Su Su in his mind, and no one knows Su Su's inner thoughts better than him.
Husband and child, virtuous and virtuous, this is Su Su.
A typical traditional Chinese woman.
Su Su's gentle and kind temperament happens to coincide with Bai Suzhen, she plays Bai Suzhen, and Yang Ming has no worries.
Now he is more embarrassed by the role of Xu Xian.
Xu Xian in his previous life was played by Ye Tong in reverse, although Ye Tong's anti-series caused a lot of controversy at the beginning, but later after the success of this TV series, it was called the genius of the whole TV series.
Xu Xian??
The pen in Yang Ming's hand tapped the notebook indiscriminately, thinking in his mind who should play this role?
Flower Satsuki?
I don't know what's going on, he suddenly remembered Hua Xiaoyue in his heart, and the pen that was tapping the notebook suddenly stopped.
- Alas!
Yang Ming sighed silently, in order to avoid the other party, he even adjusted the plot of the sequel to "Transformers", and it was no longer up to him and Hua Xiaoyue to continue to act in the sequel.
After all, he is already a person who is going to get married and does not want to maintain an ambiguous relationship with any other woman.
In his previous life, he had prayed that God would give him a sincere love, and since he got it now, he must cherish it even more.
Regarding the adjustment of "Transformers", Yang Ming discussed with Su Su, and sent a text message to Hua Xiaoyue to explain, she did not object, and then Su Su also asked the other party to come out to go shopping together, and Hua Xiaoyue's performance was normal.
After Su Su came back, she told Yang Ming: Xiaoyue has let go, but she hopes that everyone is still friends.
In this regard, Yang Ming was quite ashamed in his heart, the past is like the wind, and life will never be perfect.
Xu Xian, Hua Xiaoyue?
Yang Ming thought for a moment and quickly rejected the idea.
Hua Xiaoyue is not suitable to play Xu Xian.
It's not that he deliberately wants to avoid Hua Xiaoyue again.
Through the change of the cast of the sequel to "Transformers", Hua Xiaoyue already understands Yang Ming's thoughts, and she will not force anything, plus the close relationship between her and Su Su, she will not destroy anything.
She just hopes that everyone can be friends normally in the future, and today Su Su goes out to play, and the person she dates will have Hua Xiaoyue.
The reason why Yang Ming vetoed this idea was entirely from the perspective of the script, Hua Xiaoyue was not suitable to play Xu Xian.
Xu Xian is a scholar.
Clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, this is the image of a scholar.
There are many male actors who fit this kind of scholarly image, and they catch a lot of them, but if it's just like this, then there are too many people who are suitable for Xu Xian.
But "The Legend of the New White Lady" is destined to have only one protagonist, and that is Bai Suzhen!
In addition to Bai Suzhen's generous, gentle and noble image, she also has an image, that is, she is a demon who can spell!
Calling for wind and rain, sprinkling beans into soldiers, this is the image of Bai Suzhen's other side, and this image runs through the entire TV series from beginning to end, so Xu Xian's status as a mortal man will be extremely embarrassing.
In the original evidence of the previous life, this embarrassment was resolved.
Xu Xian, played by Ye Tong, not only performed the scholar's clear eyebrows, gentle and elegant, but also performed the other side of Xu Xian, pedantic, weak and incompetent, he always needs Bai Suzhen's protection and care.
If such a Xu Xian is played by a male actor, Yang Ming feels that he really can't find a suitable candidate except for the sissy.
But using a sissy actor to play Xu Xian, Yang Ming estimated that the entire TV series would be ruined.
Yang Ming has watched the original version of "The Legend of the New White Lady" in his previous life, Xu Xian played by Ye Tong, sometimes his weak appearance really makes people grit their teeth.
But this is the most in line with Xu Xian's actual image.
Ye Tong's reversal undoubtedly perfectly interprets this point.
The anti-string is to reflect Xu Xian's cowardice and incompetence, and he needs the protection of his mother everywhere.
Yang Ming put a big hello on the role of Xu Xian, this role is really not very easy to choose.
What about Xiaoqing?
