Chapter 958

In five days, Song Zheng really only took five days to write the script of the 76 episodes of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", of course, Song Zheng's memory cannot be so clear, fortunately, there is the original version, memory plus, and his personal embellishment of some plots, which finally allowed him to complete this seemingly impossible task.

Shang Jie was really taken aback when she saw the script, she really couldn't figure out how Song Zheng did it, although it was said to be an adaptation, but the more so, the more it tested the screenwriter's skills, on the one hand, it was necessary to compress the plot and characters of a film into a limited number of episodes, and on the other hand, it was necessary to respect the original work, otherwise, the fans would be dissatisfied at that time, and all the work would be in vain.

It is said that there are many domestic adaptations of film and television dramas, but most of them are tired and thankless, just like the very famous saying "In the hearts of a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets", everyone's interpretation is different, and adapting into a script is just a person's way of interpretation, whether it can be accepted by all readers of the original work is a very difficult thing in itself.

Just like "Dream of Red Mansions", when CCTV was going to make a TV series, almost all red scientists advised director Wang Fulin to be cautious, and some red scientists threatened that "Red Mansions are used for research, and not a single word can be changed", which shows how difficult it is to adapt it into a script.

And although this "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" is far inferior in fame to "Dream of Red Mansions", it is too difficult to adapt, and the background is the overhead Great Zhou Dynasty, and after Song Zheng's adaptation, the background became the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanling of the Great Zhou Dynasty became a very famous Yongzheng Emperor in history.

I heard Song Zheng say that he wanted to get the script out before going to the United States, Shang Jie was just talking about it, she had read this book, not to mention anything else, there were hundreds of named characters in it alone, and the storyline was even more complicated, to compress such a big story into dozens of episodes of TV series filming, in her opinion, without a year of hard work, it would not be possible to do it, and Song Zheng only took five days.

"Xiao Song, aren't we cautious!"

Shang Jie's side, he has already asked people to contact the author of the original book to get the film and television drama adaptation rights, but fortunately, Song Zheng started quickly, and the people sent by Shang Jie came back and said that before them, someone had already contacted the author.

After getting the authorization, according to Shang Jie's idea, there is no need to rush to shoot this story, the company has a lot of plans for this year, and it is really impossible to shoot such a big drama, who knows, Song Zheng even took out the script.

"Sister Shang, what are you still cautious about? I've heard that Shonan Satellite TV has got several network IPs this year, including those with a Qing palace background, if we don't start quickly, let them take the lead when the time comes, and we will become pickers!"

After Song Zheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shang Jie to speak again, and immediately provoked actors for the roles in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" according to his own ideas.

"Heroine Zhen Huan, I plan to use Sun Li!"

There is no doubt about this, the original version impressed him too much, except for Sun Li, he really couldn't imagine who else could play the little lord of the noble man.

Shang Jie originally planned to continue to persuade Song Zheng, but Song Zheng had already begun to assign roles, and he couldn't keep up with Song Zheng's thinking for a while, and when he heard Song Zheng say that he wanted to use Sun Li to play Zhen Huan, he hurriedly said: "Sun Li? Xiao Song, Sun Li has never acted in a costume drama before, and her appearance, I don't think it's very suitable!"

Sun Li has not filmed costume dramas so far, and the ones she has acted in are basically modern dramas, although Sun Li's acting skills are very good, but there is no way to avoid the image problem, Sun Li's forehead is relatively wide, and if she plays a costume drama, her appearance is indeed a hard injury.

"It's okay, let people design the shape when the time comes, Sister Shang, this matter is decided!"

Song Zheng didn't leave room for Shang Jie at all, and directly made a decision.

Shang Jie heard this, and it was not good to say anything, she also knew the relationship between Sun Li and Lin Xinru, she and Sun Li are also good sisters, over the years, Sun Li has tried to enter the big screen several times, but the results are not ideal, and she can only specialize in the TV drama market, but she has always lacked a masterpiece of sufficient weight, and now even Tang Wei and Tang Yan, who arrived in the company later than her, are faintly going to surpass her, but Sun Li has never complained, and it is appropriate to give Sun Li the role of Zhen Huan.

"Concubine Hua, I'm going to give it to Jiang Xin!

Shang Jie heard this and frowned again: "Xiao Song, let Jiang Xin play Murong Shilan, can she afford such a big role?"

Although Jiang Xin entered the industry early, she has always been tepid, after arriving at the 1+1 company, the company arranged several plays for her, all of which are female second, and the current coffee position is basically the second and third line, although the role of Concubine Hua in the story of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is not particularly many, not as good as the queen, but this character is very important, as Zhen Huan's first enemy after entering the palace, at least she must not lose to Zhen Huan in aura, let Jiang Xin and Sun Li play against each other, is it a little embarrassing for the little girl.

Hearing Shang Jie say this, Song Zheng was also a little hesitant in his heart, after all, the current Jiang Xin is not the goddess of the fat world in the mainland entertainment industry in the future, and the roles she has played are either bitter women or stupid white sweet, and suddenly let her play Concubine Hua, whether she can pick it up is really a question.

"Xiao Song, I think this role should still be ~~~~~~~~"

"Just give it to her!" Song Zheng didn't wait for Shang Jie to finish speaking, and then made up his mind.

In his previous life, Jiang Xin became an instant hit through the role of Concubine Hua, if this role was given to someone else, he really didn't know how to support Jiang Xin in the future, after all, there are not many actresses like her in the circle, even in the 1+1 company, there are many people who overlap her drama, once the role of Concubine Hua is gone, what will happen to Jiang Xin in the future, he can't control it.

"Although this child is young, she has a good play, and she is hard enough, Sister Shang, you know that she is a Muslim, right?"

Shang Jie was stunned for a moment and said, "I know!"

Song Zheng said: "The company arranged a play for her before, there was a scene in the play that asked her to eat pork, but she ate it without saying a word, I heard Xinru say afterwards, she vomited after the play and almost collapsed, just rushed to this, I hurried to ensure that she could be popular, and at that time, I filmed "Life and Death", the crew and a group of big men rushed to shoot day and night, how old was she at that time, there were no complaints at all, she has been following us to boil, such a hard actress, there are not many in the circle, let's give her a hand!"

It's the first time Shang Jie has heard of these things, and he has no opinion when he hears the words: "Okay, let's give it to her!"

Next are the two very important roles left in the whole play, one is the emperor and the other is the queen, in the original "The Legend of Zhen Huan", these two roles are played by Chen Jianbin and barbecued pork Fen respectively.

Although the two of them can be regarded as creating classics, Song Zheng is not very satisfied with these two, especially Chen Jianbin, Song Zheng has always felt that when he acted, the taste of drama was too strong, whether it was the lines or the body, it was a little too much, just look at the Cao Cao he played, a generation of heroes was almost played by him into a snake spirit disease.

and Chen Jianbin's emperor in the original version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the majesty of the emperor was performed by him, but in some details, Mr. Chen's performance is really flattering.

As an emperor, Mr. Chen not only chirped when eating, but also snorted when he drank soup, and he didn't even talk about the royal manners.

Besides, at Mr. Chen's age, it really feels awkward to see him fall in love with a group of warblers and Yanyan.

Not to mention barbecued pork fen, the common problem of Xiangjiang actors, body language is too exaggerated, coupled with awkward dubbing, people can play in minutes.

Song Zheng really didn't have a good candidate for these two roles for a while, Shang Jie saw that Song Zheng didn't speak, and took the initiative to say: "The role of the emperor, I think it's better to let Lao Wu play it?"

"Pull it down!" Song Zheng refused without even thinking about it, "Old Wu plays the emperor, do you think he looks like? If he is ten years younger, it is quite suitable to play the king of Guojun!"

Although Shang Jie was a little unhappy with Song Zheng for damaging Wu Xiubo so much, if he thought about it carefully, it was indeed not very suitable: "Otherwise, let Deng Zhuo act?"

"No! If we shoot exactly according to the original, he is quite suitable, but now that the emperor has been replaced by Yongzheng, he is too young to play Yongzheng!"

"If it doesn't work, just find Chen Zhiming, the relationship between Sister Hua and Chen Zhiming has always been good, maybe we can take the opportunity to pull Chen Zhiming to the company!"

The relationship between Wang Jinghua and Chen Zhiming, Song Zheng naturally knew that when Wang Jinghua was in Huayi Brothers, Chen Zhiming followed him, and later Wang Jinghua jumped ship to Orange Sky Entertainment, and Chen Zhiming was also the first to follow the past, if it weren't for Song Zheng's appearance, Wang Jinghua established her own brokerage company after leaving Orange Sky Entertainment, Chen Zhiming still followed all the way, and the personal relationship between the two people is really nothing to say.

Of course, this is mainly because Wang Jinghua has helped Chen Zhiming very much, everyone knows that Chen Zhiming is a good actor, among these old dramas in China, Chen Zhiming's drama is definitely the best, but his emotional intelligence is really very low, if it weren't for Wang Jinghua who has been helping him take care of it, he would definitely not have the status he has today.

But let Chen Zhiming play the role of Yongzheng, if this is a complete drama, there is no problem at all for Chen Zhiming to play Yongzheng, these domestic actors can really play the spirit of the emperor, there are only two or three people, Chen Zhiming, Chen Baoguo, and Tang Guoqiang, these people play Kangxi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Yongzheng are all classics.

But "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is not a real drama after all, and Song Zheng felt aggrieved when he thought that Yongzheng played by Mr. Chen Zhiming was cuckolded by his concubine, and finally poisoned by the most trusted person.

"Sister Shang, do you think it's appropriate to let Mr. Chen be a green hat in the play?"

Shang Jie was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but smile: "Then who else do you say you can find to act?"

Song Zheng didn't have a good idea for a while: "This is put on hold for the time being, I plan to find Zheng Xiaolong to direct this play, and I will leave this role to him!"

If Zheng Xiaolong still chooses Chen Jianbin in the end, Song Zheng doesn't care.

"There is also the role of the queen, Sister Shang, contact Yuan Li and Haiqing, and audition when the time comes, by the way, and Lao Xu and his daughter-in-law, I think it's quite suitable!"

As long as it's not barbecued pork Fen, Song Zheng thinks anyone can do it, it's not that she dislikes barbecued pork Fen's acting skills, if her Mandarin can pass the test, this role will definitely be given to her, but that Hong Kong Pu is really unbearable, if she is chosen, Song Zheng is worried that when filming, the actors who play against her will go crazy.

"What about the other characters?" Shang Jie asked.

"Make an announcement, let's open the casting, anyone who is interested can come to the audition!" After Song Zheng finished speaking, he thought about it and added, "Whether it is professional or not, as long as you are interested, you can come to the audition!"

As soon as Shang Jie heard it, he understood what Song Zheng meant: "Xiao Song, do you mean, we want to praise newcomers in this play!?"

"Yes! Yesterday Xinru told me that she plans to sign some newcomers to come in, although our company's artist team is not small at the moment, but to sign a few potential newcomers, I think it's also very good, this casting, Sister Shang, you can handle it, pick a few good ones when the time comes, and sign them as a reserve army!"

Hearing Song Zheng say that he wanted to expand the company's artist team, Shang Jie naturally had no opinion, according to her ideas, with the current scale of the 1+1 company and the current production capacity, there are still too few artists under it, although the quality is not to be said, but the quantity is really a bit shabby, not to mention compared with Huayi Brothers and Orange Sky Entertainment, the artist teams owned by some brokerage companies in the circle that are much smaller than 1+1 are thrown off 1+1 streets.

Before, Shang Jie also said to Song Zheng that he wanted to sign a newcomer, but Song Zheng kept holding back, according to Song Zheng's idea, since he signed the person, he had to be responsible, and he had to praise others, there are already a lot of actors in the company now, and if he signs again, he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of it, and he can't be wild as Shang Jie said.

Now that Song Zheng said that he wanted to sign a newcomer, Shang Jie hurriedly agreed, and even began to think about how many to win when the time came, and then how to adjust the company's team configuration.

"That's okay! I'll ask someone to contact Zheng Xiaolong, and then post a message on our official website to openly recruit actors!"

Song Zheng nodded and said: "Let's set up the shelf first, don't be in a hurry when to shoot, this scene is our company's next key project, and no detail can be rough." ”

Shang Jie smiled: "It's so difficult that you still plan to hold a study class, just like the Dream of Red Mansions, to gather a group of actors together for training for two or three years?"

"Two or three years is not enough!" Song Zheng said with a smile, "But what should be taught, all have to be taught, when I first filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the crew also organized two or three months of study, specifically to teach Song Jin's etiquette knowledge, this is a big drama, every detail has to be serious, if I can't shoot a classic, I'd rather not shoot!"

Hearing Song Zheng say this, Shang Jie was a little surprised: "Xiao Song, are you really so optimistic about this drama!?"

Song Zheng said: "It's not optimistic, it's very optimistic, I dare to guarantee that this drama will be popular, and it will be very popular!"

As a reborn person, how could Song Zheng not know the prospects of the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which is definitely a big cast at the level of classic TV series such as "Huanzhu Gege", "Soldier Assault", and "Golden Wedding".

It has been broadcast several times in the previous life, even if it is taken out after a few years, it is still a classic.

After everything that should be said is said, Shang Jie is responsible for the next thing, and Song Zheng does not plan to continue to interfere, and when he leaves, Shang Jie immediately asked his assistant to contact Zheng Xiaolong, and at the same time asked people to publish the news of recruiting actors on the official website of 1+1 company.

"1+1 Company's new drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is open for actors, conditions: between the ages of 16 and 25, and others are not limited!"

As soon as this too brief news was released, it immediately caused a huge response inside and outside the circle, and the first thing that was shocked was the fans of "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" was just published last year, but it has not been half a year, and it will be made into a TV series!

As a fan of "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", he was naturally overjoyed, and left messages on the official website of the 1+1 company to express his expectations, and also gave a lot of suggestions on the selection of actors.

At the same time, many domestic entertainment economic companies were surprised, mainly because 1+1 companies rarely cooperated with other companies before, and the film and television dramas produced basically selected their own actors, and this time they would openly recruit actors, which made the companies holding a lot of small flowers in their hands and small fresh meat moved, and they sent their artists' resumes to 1+1.

Those actors who have a brokerage company to take care of their personal acting careers naturally don't have to worry, everything is in charge of the company's contact, and some are also initiating relationships, ready to find a role in this play, while those wild artists who have not signed a contract with the company can only kill Yanjing and fight for their future.

In addition, there are many film and television drama production companies, and the impact is not small, over the years, 1+1 company has already accumulated an unusually strong reputation with the continuous introduction of high-quality film and television dramas, but where 1+1 company releases, it must be a high-quality product.

This time, I got the film and television drama adaptation rights of "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", you know, Song Zheng is not the only one who is optimistic about this now, although others are not reborn, but they are all professionals, and no one's vision is not bad.

In fact, before the 1+1 company, some companies had contacted the author of "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", but before they could negotiate the conditions, the 1+1 company had already made the first move and obtained the film and television drama adaptation rights.

For a time, there was a "wolf" voice in the industry.
