Chapter 0285: Interesting Casting of Imperial Flowers

In fact, DreamWorks' alternative in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry has become increasingly obvious.

The boss Tang Huan is a dragon at all, and all affairs are pushed to Vice President Hu Yinmeng. Naturally, the name of DreamWorks and the name of Hu Yinmeng have been linked together by more and more good people, after all, there is a word "dream", and Hu Yinmeng's maverick female literary style has gradually become widely known.

This talented woman does not rely on her outrageous remarks to be in the limelight, but only with her erudite cultivation, incisive insights and cold temperament, she has made all kinds of literati and sluts bow down.

The chief writers of the comic department, and the people behind the scenes who originally belonged to the TV station...... and so on, the people in the DreamWorks sphere of influence can be called the largest group of believers who are shrouded in the brunt of this aura.

Xiao Sheng obediently went back to change the script, not only did no one talk about it, but he was taken for granted.

With Mei Xiaoqing, Wang Xinwei, and Le Yiling holding real power, Liu Jiahao and Li Zhaoxiong are married to their wives, and Le Yiling has become the target of many so-called young talents, but "coldness" is easily contagious, so they have eaten behind closed doors.

All of this shows how deeply rooted this phenomenon, which will be called a "goddess" in the future, is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

It is true that Xiangjiang is a patriarchal society, but it believes in the supremacy of success, so all kinds of strange tolerances abound, strange women, talented women...... From time to time, he appeared on stage.

In the original time and space, a few talented women such as Shi Nansheng, Lin Yanni, Bai Yunqin, Dina, Yu Cheng, etc., dared to act boldly, and were recognized as talented women in Xiangjiang, and the people talked about them. The impact is not to be underestimated.

So. Hu Yinmeng's leadership at DreamWorks. Its strength and stability are beyond the imagination of outsiders, and there is a bit of idolatry in it.

Seeing that Xiao Sheng withstood the pressure of revising the script and did not give up his enthusiasm for this creation, Tang Huan naturally also had to pay attention to it.

"Martial Arts Emperor Flower", as the name suggests, is the "Emperor Flower" packaged in "martial arts", which is a famous Cantonese opera treasure.

Before the 1960s. Cantonese opera is very popular in Hong Kong. At that time, performances were mainly concentrated in old-style cinemas such as Lee Theatre, Ko Shing Theatre, Taiping Theatre and Sun Kong Theatre, with different plays staged almost every day of the week.

At that time, Cantonese opera was not only popular in Guangdong, Guangdong, Xiangjiang, Macao and other places, but also because many Chinese emigrated overseas, so that Cantonese opera was performed in the Americas, Singapore and Malaysia.

Southeast Asia also has a number of Cantonese opera artists, regular troupes, guilds and performance venues for generations, such as Celebration of the Restoration in Singapore and Pu Chun Chun in Kuala Lumpur.

With the boom in cinema, Cantonese opera has greatly diminished its appeal to audiences, but smart people abound. The art form of Cantonese opera films appeared, and "The Imperial Flower" was put on the big screen twice.

The first time was in 1959. Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian's version.

The second time was in 1976, the version of the two disciples, Long Jiansheng and Mei Xueshi, members of the Young Fengming Troupe, produced by Golden Harvest, directed by John Woo, and arranged by Koo Jiahui.

The first time "Imperial Flower" was adapted into a TV series was "Folk Legend of the Imperial Flower" filmed by TVB in 1977, starring Huang Yuncai and Wang Mingquan, and the theme song "And Pedicle Flower" was sung by Luo Wen and Wang Mingquan.

"The "Imperial Flower" filmed by TVB was just a short drama with several episodes, but the audience responded surprisingly well." Xiao Sheng confidently analyzed, "According to my observation, this theme has great potential to be tapped. ”

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, he remembered that in 1994, in the original time and space, the China Television Company in Baodao also produced a TV series "Imperial Flower", starring Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong.

At that time, Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong had been praised as a pair of golden pairs by "The Legend of the New White Lady", but they couldn't resist the shoddy blackout, and the final response was mediocre.

Later, in 2003, TVB filmed another "Imperial Flower", with an average rating of 30 points.

This theme, as Xiao Sheng said, has great potential to be tapped, and there is no doubt that Xiangjiang is the most authentic.

The content of "Imperial Flower" is adapted from historical facts, telling the story of Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: Princess Changping, sixteen years old, the emperor elected Zhou Xian Shangzhu. Will be married, and the police will be suspended.

The city fell, the emperor entered Shouning Palace, and the lord led the emperor's clothes to cry.

The emperor said: "Why did you give birth to my family!" "Swing it with your sword, and cut off your left arm; and cut Princess Zhaoren in the Zhaoren Palace.

On the fifth day of the Viet Nam, the Lord recovered.

In the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, he wrote: "Nine dead concubines, the bureau is high in the sky, and I wish to be the king of the sky, and I am a little reckless."

The edict is not allowed, and the fate is restored to the old master, and the first money of the Tsuchida Mansion is added,

The Lord wept, died of illness over the years, and was buried outside the gate of Guangning.

Folklore fiction is: Princess Changping became a nun after the death of the Ming Dynasty, and learned a martial arts, was a one-armed god nun, and carried out anti-Qing restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and accepted Lu Siniang and others as apprentices.

This kind of rendering and mythology is estimated to be the most famous of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Ah Jiu, who fell in love with Yuan Chonghuan's son Yuan Chengzhi in "Blue Blood Sword", and Wei Xiaobao's one-armed Shenni Jiuyan in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", are all the incarnations of Princess Changping.

It can be said that "Imperial Flower" has won the three flavors of joy and sorrow in the world, the bleakness and sadness of the dead country, and the life and death parting of lovers, full of tears, which makes the audience obsessed.

Moreover, the rhetoric of "Imperial Flower" is magnificent and elegant, and the poems and lyrics in the section of "Xiangyao" in the play are blended, which is the essence of the whole script.

Most people in the Lingnan area, as well as overseas Chinese who know about Cantonese opera, know how to sing this verse, even young people who don't like it or are familiar with Cantonese opera singing, they can hum it, reflecting the deep popularity of the lyrics of "Xiang Yao".

Originally, in time and space, stars such as Wang Mingquan, Luo Wen, and Leslie Cheung all dabbled in this.

In short, the influence of "Imperial Flower" among the Chinese is quite the same as Tang Huan's taste.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Sheng successfully carried out a successful one-time favorite.

Moreover, in this script, Xiao Sheng also made an opportunistic shortcut. In addition to traditional characters such as Zhou Shixian, Princess Changping, Chongzhen, etc. also imitated Jin Yong's "Blue Blood Sword". introduced the fictional character of Yuan Chonghuan's son Yuan Ruofei, and had a love triangle with Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian.

Tang Huan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and he didn't know how Jin Yong would feel if he found out.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Sheng was a little unsure of Tang Huan's mind, so he cautiously asked tentatively, "What is Mr. Tang dissatisfied with?" I'll go back and adjust as soon as possible. ”

"Professional thing. Naturally, it is operated by professionals, so I will not point fingers. Tang Huan smiled, "I am very optimistic about this "Martial Arts Emperor Flower", I will keep an eye on it, if the project is passed, it will also be listed as a high-quality TV series." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Sheng was overjoyed, and the works that were remembered by the big boss in his heart would undoubtedly be supported by all-round resources.

Of course. The premise is that Hu Yinmeng has passed the level, but Xiao Sheng is confident. This question is not a problem at all.

Seeing Xiao Sheng's eager expression, Tang Huan gently reminded, "Uncle Sheng, don't work too hard, after all, you are responsible for a lot of work, especially "Ping's Tracer Film" to be filmed. ”

Xiao Sheng was very moved by Tang Huan's compassion for the young boss, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will do a good job of scheduling, and Li Zhaoxiong's wife Wang Xinwei is very talented as a choreographer, which is very helpful for the filming of "Pingxia Film". ”

At this time, Le Yiling interjected: "Mr. Tang attaches so much importance to "Martial Arts Emperor Flower", the cast must not be so-so, but according to the work schedule on the computer, I am afraid that even in the second half of the year, the stars with weight in DreamWorks will not be able to make up the schedule." ”

Tang Huan himself is engaged in IT, so he naturally wants to encourage his industries to adopt information office, DreamWorks' human resources, workflow and other systems, so that the annual work plan has a clear context, and the cooperation with Media Asia TV can be called strict and seamless.

And Le Yiling's reminder also means that if you want to shoot "Martial Arts Emperor Flower" this year, you have to face the embarrassing fact that there are no generals available in DreamWorks.

"Don't we have an agreement with TVB, just go over there and pick artists." Tang Huan smiled disappreciably.

"TVB is on the side, ordinary artists, they can negotiate relatively smoothly with a few words, but when it comes to first-line stars, even if Miss Hu comes forward to discuss, she will often end up unhappy." Le Yiling's face was full of depression, obviously she was a witness, "TVB just wants to take advantage of DreamWorks, let us help those artists who have not yet become popular." ”

Seeing that it was so tricky, Tang Huan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

The tacit understanding he and Run Run Shaw reached in private could not be put on the table.

Moreover, this agreement is only to prevent the two TV stations from losing the battle.

Therefore, in the middle and bottom layers, TVB and Media Asia TV are still competing fiercely.

In terms of the more specific operation of artist employment and cooperation, as long as Fang Yihua does a little tricking, the actual implementation can be distorted.

Of course, as long as Tang Huan is willing to use his brains, there will never be a shortage of excellent backup plans, just because with the improvement of his status, there is no need for him to waste energy on such trivial matters.

"It's okay, then I'll push two candidates, Zhao Yazhi as Princess Changping, and Lin Qingbian, a movie actor from Baodao, reverses Zhou Shixian." Tang Huan laughed playfully.

As early as 1977, produced by Shaw Brothers Film Company and directed by Li Hanxiang, "Dream of Red Mansions", Lin Qingbian played Jia Baoyu, and in other roles, Zhang Aijia played Lin Daiyu, Mi Xue played Xue Baochai, and Deborah played Zijuan, and won the Best Feature Film Art Design Award at the 15th Golden Horse Awards, and the Best Costume and Best Art Design Award at the 24th Asian Film Festival.

There is no doubt that Lin Qingfang's big screen reversal this time is amazing.

Since she has this capital, she is always thinking about trying to transform, so let her take this opportunity to give it a try.

Being able to create traces in his own hands that did not exist in the original time and space, Tang Huan felt very interesting. As for the concerns about the big screen switching to the small screen, his own woman is not so unrestrained.

"What about the role of Yuan Ruofei?" Xiao Sheng's eyes lit up and asked.

"I've solved the two main characters, and it's up to you to figure out the rest." Tang Huan smiled and waved his hand.

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but start to be embarrassed again, before he was worried about the lack of heavyweight actors, but now he is worried about how to find another protagonist who can match these two big stars.

Tang Huan naturally didn't pay attention to Xiao Sheng's troubles. He said to Le Yiling: "You want to get me a list of this TVB artist training class." List of DreamWorks and Media Asia Television's artist training courses. Or the initial registration list from earlier stages can also be found. ”

Obviously, TVB's disobedience to the agreement between the two parties also made Tang Huan feel dissatisfied.

Since you're so unkind, don't blame me for secretly wielding a sharp little pickaxe.

……

After Tang Huan returned to Zheru's office, he contacted Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingbian, respectively, the former went to Milan, Italy, to learn about fashion, and the latter studied in Los Angeles with the crew of "E.T.", which was still in the preparation stage.

The man in charge of the house spoke, and the two women didn't care what they thought in their hearts. They all had to do it as a serious job, and they all agreed.

Tang Huan put down the phone and couldn't help laughing again, he was really looking forward to the performance of this combination.

He plans to visit the crew of "Huo Yuanjia" tomorrow to see how the actual progress is, after all, this TV series is ready to be introduced to the mainland.

Then I went to Japan and scavenged for something useful again.

During this period, if there is no movement on the treasure island to give back, the initiative to take Deng Lijun out of the treasure island will be launched.

Tang Huan called Yang Qinglin and drove to the villa in Stanley, Hong Kong Island. Inspected it on the spot.

The decoration and installation and commissioning of security equipment have been completed, and the ventilation in advance has also been done in place. Standing in the living room and bedroom, you can't smell the odor caused by the decoration.

If Deng Lijun comes to Xiangjiang again, she will be able to move in immediately, which can be regarded as a stable home, and she does not always have to stay in the hotel.

But Deng's mother did not move in with her two grandchildren according to the previous plan, and she didn't know where the old lady heard the information, the baby's long-term flight impact on her health, so she endured the discomfort in life and insisted on staying in Los Angeles.

I have to say that although the old man is not highly educated, once he recognizes the reason, he will carry it out to the end.

For this kind of trivial matter, Tang Huan is too lazy to mix, anyway, the place is ready, you decide for yourself how to arrange it.

Tang Huan took a turn in front of the house and behind the house, and was very satisfied with this place.

When he was discussing with Yang Qinglin how to arrange the security plan in the future to be more appropriate, Lu Xiaohu hurriedly drove over and said an emergency.

As early as April 1976, Tang Huan got into trouble, and during the period after he was sent to Xiangjiang, he was taken care of by the three grandchildren of Zhuang Yinuo.

At that time, Zhuang Menghua was still a naughty little girl, and her distant cousin Zhuang Xingtai was the same age as Tang Huan and got along very happily.

Within a few months, Tang Huan successfully entered the United States to join his aunt Tang Yun through some means.

But his friendship with Zhuang Xingtai has not changed, after all, this can be regarded as a good memory in the midst of tribulation.

The year before last, that is, in 1979, when Tang Huan first came to Xiangjiang from the United States, he listened to Zhuang Yinuo humming angrily, and his nephew who graduated from college did not take the right path and joined the club.

Because there were a lot of things that didn't go well with the old man at that time, such as his company being snatched away under the deliberate design of his partner, Tang Huan didn't ask in detail about the fire, but just inquired in private.

Later, with great difficulty, the truth of the matter was finally inquired clearly.

Like the dramatization of film and television works, or more correctly, art comes from life, and the cruelty in it is always selectively concealed.

Zhuang Xingtai had a girlfriend named Li Yifang in middle school, and the relationship between the two was extremely stable, and they made life plans such as marriage together early.

Li Yifang's father was worth a little, but because he was obsessed with betting on horses, he couldn't extricate himself, owed a lot of loan sharks, and finally ran away to Thailand and had no news.

Obviously, if the monk runs away, he can't run the temple, and the father and son will pay the debt. If you can't pay it back, then you will pay off the debt. Anyway, since people dare to lend usury, there is a way to recover the debt.

What's more, Li Yifang is delicate and cultured, and in the eyes of the other party, she can definitely be regarded as a high-end product, and she will definitely have a good price.

In this case, Zhuang Xingtai naturally had to come forward, but this hole was too big, and the dealer simply did not have the strength to fill it.

Zhuang Xingtai made it clear that even if you dispose of us according to the previous plan, you will not be able to recover all the debts, so it is better to continue to forgive.

You know, I'm a college student, and it's no problem to find a job that pays well.

At the current stage, if Xiangjiang students want to be admitted to university, they must at least take the single-plank bridge model, and Zhuang Xingtai's guarantee is still very well-founded.

Lending usury is for profit, and some troublesome people are also a little afraid of it, and as long as they can find someone to take care of, they can continue to squeeze it continuously.

However, during this period, the old brain hole of the above club opened and changed their minds.

Zhuang Xingtai made it clear that even if you dispose of us according to the previous plan, you will not be able to recover all the debts, so it is better to continue to forgive.

You know, I'm a college student, and it's no problem to find a job that pays well.

At the current stage, if Xiangjiang students want to be admitted to university, they must at least take the single-plank bridge model, and Zhuang Xingtai's guarantee is still very well-founded.
