Chapter 521: The White Lady
PS: Bow and thank "linyufeiyang" for the support of the two monthly passes, and also thank the "long Ming" students for their monthly ticket support, thank you very much!
The TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady" was filmed when Stephen Zhao was preparing for "I Have a Date with a Zombie", and he also deliberately wrote the novel of the same name and published it in "Xiangjiang News". At that time, the response was not too enthusiastic, after all, it was just a myth and legend, and modern people would not feel it when they heard it too much, at most they admired his skills in writing novels and several classic characters such as "White Lady", "Xu Xian", "Xiaoqing", "Fahai" and so on.
"Zombie Road Long-haired Xiaofang" was also thought of filming at that time, and now it has been broadcast, and it has achieved very good results, which is popular in China.
Only the script of "The Legend of the New White Lady" is a little more difficult, because there are many places to be verified.
Stephen Zhao just gave an outline, and the specific script was handed over to the people in the screenwriter's studio and Li Yunzhen and others on ATV's side to negotiate and complete.
"1,700 years ago, the shepherd boy rescued a white snake from the hands of the snake catcher, the white snake in order to repay the kindness, after 1,700 years of cultivation into human form, through the Bodhisattva guidance to the world, into a beautiful woman Bai Suzhen, and the green snake deformed the beautiful woman Xiaoqing experienced the world, and the shepherd boy of the year, has now become a handsome, beautiful, diligent and promising scholar Xu Xian performed a love story of grievances and grievances, life and death, crying and complaining......"
The main plot of "The Legend of the New White Lady" is actually the love between people and snake demons, interspersed with things encountered in life, the biggest opponent is the monk Fahai after the reincarnation of the toad, the happy ending, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen have completed their merits and returned to the heavenly realm.
film and television dramas about Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. Stephen Zhao has seen multiple versions.
There are many versions of the main TV series, including Zhao Yazhi's version, Liu Tao's version, Fan Wenfang's version, Liu Shishi's version, Zuo Xiaoqing's version, and so on.
Movies are relatively rare, and Stephen Zhao has only watched "Green Snake" co-starred by Wang Zuxian and Maggie Cheung.
The movie "Green Snake" doesn't talk about it, although the overall style is very provocative, there is a kind of charming but not obscene sexy, Maggie Cheung and Wang Zuxian are both the best beauties with smoky eyes. Especially Wang Zuxian. However, this movie is actually very average and feels unremarkable.
TV series:
Zuo Xiaoqing's version is "See the White Snake Again", co-starring Ren Quan, Stephen Zhao has only heard of it, but has not seen it.
Fan Wenfang's version, Stephen Zhao has watched a few episodes, but can he say Fan Wenfang, can you go for plastic surgery first?
The full name of Liu Tao's version of the TV series is "The Legend of the White Snake", although Liu Tao is beautiful and generous. has an outstanding temperament, is the candidate for the best daughter-in-law, playing "Bai Suzhen" is actually quite suitable, but the acting skills are really not good, "Bai Suzhen" is not performed at all, it is very stiff when it should be weak, but it suddenly becomes weak when it should be generous, Liu Tao, what are you doing?
Of course. After complaining about Liu Tao, Stephen Zhao actually wants to complain more about the screenwriter and the actor.
Let's talk about the actor Pan Yueming first. If you want to have a temperament or no temperament, if you want to have acting skills or no acting skills, what kind of Xu Xian do you play? Although Xu Xian is a pedantic scholar, with soft ears and a little cowardly, he is definitely not a wooden person. But look at Pan Yueming's performance. He played Xu Xian as a wooden man, and he was also the kind of wooden man who knew that he was very black by looking at his face, was this funny or funny?
Let's talk about the screenwriter, can Stephen Zhao burst a foul word about Nima, can he be more disgusting?
A "half-step" with a mix of shemales and fairies and traps everywhere? It's more than half a step, your sister!
Before a third of them finished reading, Stephen Zhao was overturned. Resolutely abandon the drama.
The most classic version of the TV series is, of course, Zhao Yazhi's version of "The Legend of the New White Lady", which is a classic of a century and an incomparable monument!
In China in the previous life, if you want to comment on the top ten classic TV series in the history of TV dramas, "The Legend of the New White Lady" is definitely on the list, with almost zero negative reviews. It was broadcast in 1993, but in 2014, it was seen every summer vacation, and it was broadcast by more than one TV station, but several TV stations bombed it in turn. In 2009, 6 satellite TV stations took turns bombing and rebroadcasting; In 2013, another 5 or 6 TV stations took turns bombing, including CCTV, and it was rebroadcast twice. With such a high frequency and long-term duration, even that little swallow can't compare, and classics such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Shanghai Tang" are also weakly exploded, and only the drama "Journey to the West" presses it.
But what kind of drama is "Journey to the West"? It is a divine drama of killing all ages.
What about "The Legend of the New White Lady"? Most children don't like to watch it, and only the young, middle-aged, and elderly people like to watch it.
In such a comparison, "The Legend of the New White Lady" is actually more classic than "Journey to the West"!
"If the role of Bai Suzhen is not chosen well, the classic will be ruined!" Stephen Zhao was thinking about it while reading the script, but he thought about it in the Chinese entertainment industry, and there was really no one who could compare to Zhao Yazhi among the actresses who were active in the first line.
Is Zhao Yazhi beautiful? Stephen Zhao said that it is actually very ordinary, in his previous life, many actresses were much more beautiful than Zhao Yazhi, both in terms of figure and face.
However, Zhao Yazhi relied on her superb acting skills and outstanding temperament to play "Bai Suzhen" and became a living "Bai Suzhen".
Dignified and generous, gentle and noble, this is a very comfortable adjective to describe.
To describe it as a modern colloquialism, Zhao Yazhi's version of "Bai Suzhen" can go up to the hall and the kitchen, think about her husband wholeheartedly, and have a long face for her husband everywhere, which is simply impeccable!
Let Zhou Bing act? No, Zhou Bing is too heroic.
Let Li Qingxia act? No, it's too heroic.
Let Tang Xinya play? No, Tang Xinya is too petite and exquisite.
An Xuan'er? It's so delicate.
Tang Yuyan? It's so hard!
Lin Bingbing? It's so showy that it looks very cheesy.
……
As for who will play the wretched waste of "Xu Xian", Stephen Zhao already has an idea, just like in his previous life, using actresses to reverse.
The role of "Xiaoqing", in line with the idea of leaving no outsiders in the field, Zhao Xingchi decided to let his cousin Lin Yun'er play, anyway, this girl is becoming more and more clever, and she just didn't take on other scenes.
For other roles, let the director figure it out.
An hour later. Stephen Zhao roughly finished reading the script of "The Legend of the New White Lady", and the plot is the same as Zhao Yazhi's version, divided into 50 episodes.
He replied to an email of agreement, but not to Zhan Xianjun, but to his secretary Lin Meijia and asked her to print it out. Then arrange to go down and prepare.
The script doesn't need to be exactly according to the previous life, as long as the general plot and the setting of the characters match.
You have to read it seriously sentence by sentence, Stephen Zhao has to faint to death.
Rao also felt tired, his eyes were dry and astringent, and he had to stop to rest, drink a cup of tea to refresh himself, and relax his eyesight.
"Boss, do I want to press it for you?" Lin Meijia didn't leave after bringing him a cup of tea. Instead, he walked behind him with a smile and took the initiative to give him a massage to relax.
"Hold on, I'm tired!" Stephen Zhao did not pretend to refuse seriously, but agreed as a matter of course, and then closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair.
Lin Meijia gritted her teeth angrily, but still pressed him gently, first gently on the temples on both sides of his face, and then pressed on his somewhat stiff shoulders and neck.
People who have been sitting for a long time. The neck and shoulders can become very stiff.
Accumulate over time, if not relaxed. It is easy to get diseases such as frozen shoulder, and in severe cases, you will have a stroke!
Lin Meijia's little hand still had a little strength, and Zhao Xingchi was very comfortable pressing, and smiled with her eyes closed: "Jiajia, your massage skills are getting better and better." ”
"So-so." Lin Meijia was modest, but in fact, she rolled her eyes in the later stage. I thought to myself, "Am I here to be your secretary or to be your nanny?" I really owe you in my last life! ”
Before becoming Stephen Zhao's secretary, Lin Meijia worshipped Stephen Zhao as an idol, and even had crazy thoughts to the point that it didn't matter if she gave birth to a child for Stephen Zhao.
Soon after being Stephen Zhao's secretary, Lin Meijia suddenly "sobered up" and felt ashamed of her previous crazy admiration for Stephen Zhao's behavior and thoughts. I even wanted to quit my job at one point.
However, as the contact time went on, Lin Meijia suddenly discovered that she seemed to be inseparable from Stephen Zhao.
First of all, Lin Meijia doesn't look down on other men, not to mention that she is as talented and rich as Zhao Xingchi, at least she can't be too far behind, right?
Secondly, there are more people in contact with the entertainment industry, and there are more successful people, elites, and high-ranking officials, Lin Meijia has gradually seen through this world, and her thinking is no longer simply about love, but has changed to just live happily, regardless of what others say!
In the end, getting along with Stephen Zhao, a "gutless bandit", she has become accustomed to the presence of Stephen Zhao in her life. She didn't even dare to imagine what her life would be like if she left Stephen Zhao?
So by now, Lin Meijia has seen it, just doing this, a virtuous helper by Zhao Xingchi's side is actually not bad, Zhao Xingchi will definitely not treat her badly.
Stephen Zhao, Lin Meijia has seen through it, don't look at the five people in front of people, the leader of a fully successful person, in fact, there is no guts of a bandit, there is a thief heart but not a thief's guts, the ears are soft, and the heart is soft, but sometimes he is very impulsive. Give a definite evaluation, a righteous gentleman is definitely not suitable, and a villain is not suitable, it can only be said that he is a talented and good person!
"You have also read the script of "The Legend of the New White Lady", who do you think is the most suitable person to play the White Lady?" Zhao Xingchi didn't know Lin Meijia's thoughts, and asked to himself.
"What?" Lin Meijia was startled, but when she heard him ask this question, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, you said the White Lady, this ...... First of all, it must be a beautiful actress, with a gentle and elegant temperament, and then it is necessary to have a good appearance in ancient costumes, to have a fairy spirit, and to have good acting skills. Finally, it can't be too young, and it can't be too old. There are very few actresses of this type in the mainland, Qiao Fangfang can be counted as one, Yang Han of Zhongce Media is also good, and I can't think of anything else. ”
"Qiao Fangfang, forget it, Yang Han ......" Zhao Xingchi pondered for a while, and finally shook his head: "No, she is not from our company, and Yang Han's chin is too sharp, giving people a feeling of a fox spirit." What about the actresses on Xiangjiang and Mazu Island? ”
Lin Meijia said with some disdain: "Forget it over there, except for the older generation, the younger generation is disabled, if you want to have no temperament, if you want to have acting skills, if you want to be famous, it's better to go to the drama and Chinese drama to find a newcomer!" ”
Stephen Zhao thought about it for a while, and then thought: "If you can't think of it, then audition!" (To be continued......)
