Roasted duck with oranges, American steak, apple salad, pancakes with sugar sauce and ......, paired with 82-year-old Lafite wine, Sun Ziming's chef Aunt Mary did her best to cook an American meal for the guests.

Tom Cruise subconsciously abides by dining etiquette, and Kim Young-hyun, a guest, eats according to the etiquette he has learned, only Sun Ziming adds chili sauce to the steak and duck without any scruples, and Aunt Mary specially handed it to him.

"Ming, I deliberately added some devil chili peppers to these hot sauces, is it cool?"

Sun Ziming forked a piece of wild duck meat into his mouth, and stopped strangely after a little chewing, but immediately said: "It's not good, it's not as good as the chili pepper in our hometown." Ah Guang, Mary said that this pepper is very spicy, I think it is very average, do you want to try it? ”

"I'll taste it", Lu Huiguang, who is also spicy, forked a piece of duck meat from his grandson's plate and put it in his mouth, he was strangely stunned, but said to Tom Cruise: "Cruise, I don't think it's spicy either." Why don't you try? If you don't think it's spicy, Mary should die. ”

"Ok, I'll be the arbiter", Cruise picked out some chili sauce with a silver fork and put it in his mouth, and within a second he jumped out of his chair and rushed to the fridge to get ice. At this time, Sun Ziming and Lu Huiguang grinned evilly, and gave a thumbs up to Aunt Mary, so happy that her fat body was shaking.

Tom Cruise, whose face was flushed with spicy, gestured his middle finger at Lu Huiguang with an ice cube in his mouth, and scolded: "Shit! ”

Sun Ziming's pranks and Cruise's anger made Kim Young-hyun stunned and also made her relax. I didn't expect these big people to be like this in private, no different from ordinary people.

"Cut, didn't you trick me into eating Stinkheads last time?"

Sun Ziming happily watched the two accuse each other, and at the same time used a fork to pick off most of the hot sauce mixed with devil chili peppers, and felt that it was too spicy.

Kim Young-hyun, who had already relaxed a lot, immediately talked to Sun Ziming according to the method he had repeatedly considered on the road. Brother Zanyu said that this great director only focuses on talent, and if he seizes this opportunity, he will be able to soar to the sky.

"Mr. Sun Sun, I heard that you organized more than 100 experts and scholars to study the court culture of the Northern Song Dynasty for the sake of "Shangshi"?"

Well? Sun Ziming looked up at this Korean woman who was still a little nervous, and began to appreciate her a little, although she couldn't hold her breath and was too acute, but at least she was very good at figuring out people, knowing what she cared about, and knowing how to cater to herself. As a screenwriter, you may not entertain exquisitely, but you must be able to figure out people's hearts in order to write works that the audience loves.

"What do you think? You must have heard of my character, and Zanyu must have told you about that outline, telling me what you really think. ”

Although Kim Young-hyun's heart beat suddenly, the thoughts that she had thought about for a few days were still accurately expressed in her nervous voice.

"Mr. Sun Sun, you want to use the work "Shangshi Palace" to reflect the splendid culture of the Song Dynasty. I've watched your country's "Dream of Red Mansions", which is very well made, and the ratings in our Korea are not bad, but I always feel that behind its thick culture, it is a bit too heavy, and even makes people lose hope. If that TV series is placed in the current era, perhaps except for some people with a fairly high level of culture, ordinary people will not be able to calm down and watch it. ”

It's a little interesting, Sun Ziming began to look at this unremarkable Korean female screenwriter and motioned her to continue.

Kim Young-hyun heard Park Chan-wook talk about Sun Ziming's habits, and when talking about business, if he thinks you are talking nonsense, he may not interrupt you arbitrarily, but it will definitely be quite unpleasant. Now seeing that Sun Ziming has the patience to listen to his little screenwriter, and there is no unhappiness on his face, Kim Yingxian can't help but increase his confidence.

"Today's life is fast-paced, and people's lives are under great pressure, so I think that historical TV dramas must first have entertainment functions, and secondly, they must have a certain cultural connotation, and once again make people see hope. Entertainment features can make the audience enjoy watching; A certain cultural connotation can allow the audience to reminisce about this TV series after watching it; And hope can make the audience's heart warm. ”

The concise answer made Sun Ziming think about it, these three points are indeed the advantages of Korean costume dramas in the future. is not like the current Chinese costume TV series, or outright entertainment, full of fast food dramas; or just like those palace fighting scenes, simply and neatly scheming and calculating throughout the whole story, which makes people chill after watching it. The screenwriters who organized themselves were even better, and the scripts they wrote were so thick that they could be used as cultural textbooks in the Song Dynasty, and they were not entertaining at all.

When Sun Ziming was stunned, no one bothered him, even Kim Young-hyun, who met him for the first time, knew that he had this habit of being jokingly called a 'genius' by the media. When he woke up after he was stunned, there were only himself and the eager Kim Young-hyun at the table.

"Miss Kim, what you say makes sense, but I want to see an excellent script. So, I'll give you a rough idea, and you can give it a try as you like? ”

Jin Yingxian was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly, but after agreeing, he hurriedly requested: "Mr. Sun, I don't know much about the customs and culture of the Northern Song Dynasty in your country, can you give me a period of time to check the information first?" ”

Well, this is the attitude of doing things, Sun Tzu praised it secretly and secretly. Stories can be made up, but details can add to the authenticity and excitement of the story. Park Chan-wook only left the day before yesterday, and two days was not enough time for her to understand the culture and customs of the Northern Song Dynasty, and if she wanted to write a good script, it was right to take the time to study, but Sun Ziming said: "No need, you just need to write a synopsis of the story." Those detailed episodes and dialogues, if your story touches me, I will have time to ponder it later. ”

"Yes"

Sun Ziming, who had already subconsciously eaten enough, wiped his mouth with a napkin and began to talk about his adapted Chinese version of "Da Chang Jin".

A fateful little palace maid with a strong personality, she reads hard, is kind-hearted and loves to help others, but also often makes mistakes; She has more common sense than the average person, and has a more unique and sensitive sense of taste. In the end, with personal efforts, superb medical skills, infinite love and selfless care, she became the first female imperial doctor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was named the official of Zhengsanpintang by the emperor.

"My requirements are to fully display the Chinese food and medical culture, and the plot should be fascinating and fascinating, and it should not be in line with the background of the times at that time, and it should be too restrictive."

"Yes"

Kim Young-hyun, who had a general understanding of the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, immediately understood that this was an entertaining TV series dressed as a historical drama, which was just to entertain the audience while also showing them Chinese food and medical culture. In addition to those historical cultures and scenes that need to be real and elegant, characters and stories can be fabricated, no wonder those Chinese TV dramas on Hanjiang Satellite TV will write at the beginning of the film, 'The story of this drama is purely fictional, if there are similarities, it is a coincidence'!

Sun Ziming himself is a screenwriter, and he knows that people who do this line of work are not caring about everything when they create, and after saying 'their own' ideas and requirements, he said with a smile: "Yingai is not at home, it is not suitable for you to live with me." Well, I have a vacant house next door, and you live there. I'll take care of Mary in the day-to-day life, whatever you need, just ask her. ”

"No, no, I can take care of myself", Kim Young-hyun hurriedly excused himself.

"It's okay, it's settled", Sun Zi waved his hand and got up to talk to Cruise about the promotion of the film. The autumn file is coming, and outsiders still know the details of "The Last Samurai", just himself and his name will definitely be able to scare some companies into arranging blockbusters, and they may be able to get a lot of cheapness. If it drags on to the Christmas stall and encounters Wei Qiang's "The Matrix", I am afraid that it will not be able to get 60 million box office.

……

Under the arrangement of Sun Ziming, Jin Yingxian lived in the original mansion of Yang Guozhong, although the luxury of this manor made her jaw-dropping, but after sobering up, she immediately devoted herself to intense creation.

Although Sun Ziming's requirements are simple, it is not easy to write an excellent script in a short period of time. Fortunately, he allowed her to make up characters and stories, and Kim Young-hyun is also worthy of being a top student at Yonsei University, and he knows some about the history of South Korea, especially some famous women in history, and easily found inspiration - to adapt the story of Seo Chang-jin, a strange woman in the history of the Republic of Korea.

Although there is not much written about this legendary figure in the history books, there are only a few words of the record, but it does not prevent her from borrowing folklore for further processing and interpretation.

A few days later, when the public relations department of the light and shadow company negotiated the schedule with the theater chain, and Sun Ziming and Cruise were about to finalize the publicity plan for "The Last Samurai" with them, Kim Young-hyun called him and said that the script outline had been written.

In the villa where Kim Yingxian temporarily lived, Sun Ziming's favorite "Original Scenery of Hometown" sounded, which made him stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, Kim Young-hyun, who was a little nervous, hurriedly handed over the outline of his script.

"Mr. Sun, this is the outline of my script. Because I was not familiar with the historical background and the situation of the court at that time, I only had a general story. ”

"So fast?"

Sun Ziming hesitantly took over the outline of the script for dozens of pages, feeling a little unhappy. The law of slow work and meticulous work is the same everywhere, how can the outline of the script written in such a short time be good?

In the third year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1010), Zhang Huaide, an officer of the Janissary Guard in the Northern Song Dynasty, was ordered to give poison to Wanyi Li (Song Renzong's biological mother). On the way home, Zhang Huaide unfortunately fell into the valley, but was fortunately rescued by a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest predicted that Zhang Huaide would have a sad life, and his fate would be dominated by three women, and he would eventually be killed because of the third woman. ……

In the first two episodes, Sun Ziming didn't react too much. After all, it's a 'decades ago' TV series, and it's a TV series he hasn't finished watching, but there is enough suspense, and the heroine's experience is tragic enough for him to continue watching.

But when Sun Ziming turned to the sixth episode and saw that in the court of the Northern Song Dynasty, a cooking competition could be launched, and he woke up. This is the "Dae Jang Geum" in my memory, but the characters and background have been changed from the Joseon Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty.
