Chapter 285: Empress Flower's Interesting Casting

In fact, DreamWorks' alternative in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry has become increasingly apparent. ⊙4⊙5⊙Chinese ⊙Chinese n∈,

Boss Tang Huan is simply a dragon who sees the beginning but does not see the end. All affairs are pushed to the vice president Hu Yinmeng. Naturally, the names of DreamWorks and Hu Yinmeng have been linked together by more and more troublemakers. After all, they both have the word "dream", and Hu Yinmeng's maverick female Wenqing style also Gradually became widely known.

This talented woman does not rely on outrageous remarks to gain the limelight, but only relies on her erudite cultivation, incisive insights and high-cold temperament, so that all kinds of literati and poets bow their heads and ears.

The main writers of the manga department, the behind-the-scenes personnel who originally belonged to the TV station... and others within the sphere of influence of DreamWorks can be called the largest group of believers who are the first to be shrouded in this halo.

Xiao Sheng obediently went back to change the script, not only was there no one to discuss it, but it was regarded as normal.

With Mei Xiaoqing, Wang Xinwei, and Le Yiling holding real power, Liu Jiahao and Li Zhaoxiong are rich according to their wives, and Le Yiling has become the target of many so-called young talents, but it is easy to be "cold" Infected, so they all got rejected.

All of these can explain how this phenomenon that will be called "goddess" in the future is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

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

In the original time and space, there were a few talented women and celebrities like Shi Nansheng, Lin Yanni, Bai Yunqin, Dina, Yu Teng, etc., who dared to act boldly and were recognized as talented women in Xiangjiang, and the people talked about them. The resulting influence cannot 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 did not give up his enthusiasm for this creation despite the pressure of revising the script, Tang Huan naturally paid attention to it.

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

Before the 1960s. Cantonese opera is very popular in Xiangjiang. At that time, the performances were mainly concentrated in old-style theaters such as Lee Theatre, Gaosheng Theatre, Taiping Theater and Xinguang Theatre. Different plays were staged almost every day of the week.

At that time, Cantonese opera was not only popular in Guangdong, Guangxi, Xiangjiang, Macao and other places, but because many Chinese people immigrated overseas, there were Cantonese opera performances in America, Singapore and Malaysia where overseas Chinese in Cantonese lived.

There are also some Cantonese opera artists, fixed troupes, guilds and performance venues that have been passed down from generation to generation in Southeast Asia.

For example, "Qing Wei Xin" in Singapore, and "Pu Changchun" in Kuala Lumpur.

Cantonese opera has become much less appealing to audiences as movies have flourished, but smart people abound. The art form of Cantonese opera movies appeared, and "Emperor 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 by their disciples, Long Jiansheng and Mei Xueshi, members of the Chufengming Troupe, was produced by Golden Harvest, directed by John Woo, and arranged by Gu Jiahui.

"The Emperor's Flower" was adapted into a TV series for the first time. It was "Folk Legend: The Emperor's Flower" filmed by TVB in 1977, starring Huang Yuncai and Wang Mingquan. The theme song "Bingdihua" was sung by Luo Wen and Wang Mingquan.

"The "Emperor Flower" filmed by tvb was just a short play with a few episodes, but the audience responded surprisingly well." Xiao Sheng analyzed confidently, "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, Baodao's China Television Company also produced a TV series "Emperor Flower", starring Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong.

At that time, Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong had already been praised as a golden pair by "Legend of the New White Snake", but they couldn't resist the rough and random blacklisting, and the response was mediocre in the end.

Later, in 2003, tvb made another "Emperor Flower", which had 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's products are the most authentic.

The content of "Emperor Flower", adapted from historical facts, tells the story of Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian.

"Ming History" records: Princess Changping, sixteen years old, the emperor chose Zhou Xianshang as the Lord. The marriage will be suspended by the Kou police.

The city fell, the emperor entered the Shouning Palace, and the Lord held the emperor's clothes and wept.

The emperor said: "Why did you give birth to my family!" He swiped his sword and cut off his left arm; he also chopped Princess Zhaoren in Zhaoren Hall.

After five days, the Lord recovered.

In the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, a letter was written saying: "Nine dead ministers and concubines, the situation is high, and I wish to be the King of Kong, and I will apply for Wangji a little bit.

The imperial edict does not allow it, and the order is revealed to return to the old master, and the money, chariots and horses of the Tutian mansion will be added,

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

The folklore is fictional: Princess Changping became a nun after the death of the Ming Dynasty, and learned martial arts.

This kind of exaggeration and mythology is estimated to be the most famous in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Ajiu who fell in love with Yuan Chonghuan's son Yuan Chengzhi in "Jade Blood Sword", and Wei Xiaobao's master one-armed god Ni Jiunan in "The Deer and Ding Tale" are both Princess Changping avatar.

It can be said that "Emperor Flower" has won the joys and sorrows of the world, the desolation and desolation of the subjugated country, and the parting of the lover's life and death. It is full of tears and makes the audience obsessed.

Moreover, the rhetoric of "Emperor Flower" is magnificent and elegant, and the poems and libretto of "Xiangyao" in the play blend with scenes and scenes, which are the essence of the whole script.

Most people in the Lingnan area, as well as overseas Chinese who are familiar with Cantonese opera, know how to sing this section. Even young people who don’t like Cantonese opera singing or who are familiar with Cantonese opera singing can still sing it, reflecting the popularity of the lyrics of "Xiangyao".

In the original time and space, celebrities such as Wang Mingquan, Luo Wen, Leslie Cheung, etc. have dabbled in this.

In short, the influence of "Emperor Flower" among the Chinese is quite in line with Tang Huan's taste.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Sheng successfully made a match.

Moreover, in this script, Xiao Sheng also made an opportunistic trick. In addition to Zhou Shixian, Princess Changping, Chongzhen and other traditional roles. It also imitated Jin Yong's "Jade Blood Sword". The fictional character of Yuan Chonghuan's son Yuan Ruofei is introduced, and a love triangle with Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian begins.

Tang Huan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing because he didn't know how Jin Yong would feel if he knew about it.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Sheng was a little uncertain about Tang Huan's intentions, so he tentatively asked, "What is Mr. Tang not satisfied with? I'll go back and make adjustments as soon as possible."

"Professional matters. Naturally, it will be operated by professionals, so I won't point fingers." Tang Huan smiled, "I am very optimistic about this "Martial Arts Empress Flower", and I will keep my attention. If the project is passed, It should also be listed as a high-quality TV series."

Hearing this, Xiao Sheng was overjoyed. The work that the big boss kept in his heart will undoubtedly receive all-round resource support.

Of course. The premise is to pass Hu Yinmeng's level, but Xiao Sheng is confident. This question is out of the question.

Seeing Xiao Sheng's eager expression, Tang Huan reminded him gently, "Uncle Sheng, don't work too hard. After all, you are responsible for a lot of work, especially "Ping Zong Xia Video Record" to be filmed."

Xiao Sheng was very touched by Tang Huan, a young boss, and quickly expressed his opinion, "Mr. Tang, don't worry, I will do a good job of scheduling, and Li Zhaoxiong's wife, Wang Xinwei, is very talented as a director. Very helpful."

At this time, Le Yiling interjected: "Mr. Tang attaches so much importance to "Martial Arts", the cast must not be careless, but judging from the work schedule on the computer, I am afraid that even in the second half of the year, DreamWorks will have a lot of weight." All the stars can't spare their schedules."

Tang Huan himself came from an IT background, so naturally he wanted to encourage the industry under his name to adopt information-based office. DreamWorks' human resources, workflow and other systems made the year-round work plan have a clear context, and cooperated with Media Asia TV. It can be called tight and seamless.

And this reminder from Le Yiling also means that if she wants to film "Martial Arts Emperor Daughter Flower" this year, she has to face the embarrassing fact that DreamWorks has no general available.

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

"The tvb side is sloppy. Ordinary entertainers can negotiate a smooth deal with a few words, but when it comes to first-line stars, even if Ms. Hu comes forward to discuss, they will often end up unhappy." Le Yi Ling's face was full of depression, obviously she had experienced it first-hand, "TVB just wants to take advantage of DreamWorks, let us help promote those artists who haven't become popular yet."

Seeing such a difficult situation, Tang Huan couldn't help but rubbed the space between his brows.

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

Moreover, this agreement is only to prevent the two TV stations from fighting and losing both sides.

Therefore, at the middle level and at the bottom level, tvb and Media Asia TV still compete fiercely.

As for the more specific operation of artist hiring and cooperation, as long as Fang Yihua did a little trickery, the actual execution would be out of shape.

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, it becomes less and less necessary for him to waste energy on such trivial matters by himself.

"It doesn't matter, then I will recommend two candidates, Zhao Yazhi will play the role of Princess Changping, and Taiwan's film actor Lin Qingxia will play the role of Zhou Shixian." Tang Huan laughed playfully.

As early as 1977, in "A Dream of Red Mansions" produced by Shaw Brothers Film Company and directed by Li Hanxiang, Lin Qingxia played Jia Baoyu in reverse. Among 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, Best Costume and Best Art Design Award at the 24th Asian Film Festival.

There is no doubt that Lin Qingxia's big-screen reverse appearance is amazing.

Now that she has this capital, and she is always thinking about trying to transform, then let her take this opportunity to try it out.

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

"What about the role of Yuan Ruofei?" Xiao Sheng asked with bright eyes.

"I've already solved the two main roles, and the rest is up to you to figure out a solution." Tang Huan waved his hand with a smile.

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but started to feel embarrassed again. Before, he was worried about not having a heavyweight actor, but now he was worried about how to find another protagonist who could match these two big stars.

Tang Huan naturally ignored Xiao Sheng's troubles. He said to Le Yiling: "You try to get me a list of this year's TVB artist training classes. DreamWorks and Media Asia TV's artist training class lists. Or the initial registration list for earlier stages. "

Obviously, Tang Huan was also dissatisfied with TVB's violation of the agreement between the two parties.

Since you are 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 Qingxia separately. The former went to Milan, Italy to learn about fashion, and the latter studied with the crew of "e.t." in Los Angeles, which was still in preparation.

The man in charge spoke, and the two women didn't care what they thought. They had to treat this matter as serious work, and they all agreed.

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

He plans to visit the crew of "Fearless" tomorrow to see how it is going. After all, this TV series is going to be introduced to the mainland.

Then I went to Japan and searched for some useful things again.

During this period, if there is no feedback from Baodao, the move to take Deng Lijun out of Baodao will start.

Tang Huan called Yang Qinglin and drove to the villa in Stanley, Hong Kong Island. Did a field check.

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

If Deng Lijun comes to Xiangjiang again, she will be able to move in immediately. It is considered that she has a stable home and does not have to stay in the hotel all the time.

But Mother Deng did not move here with her two grandchildren according to the previous plan, and she did not know where the old lady heard the news that flying for a long time would affect the health of the baby, so she endured the discomfort in life and insisted on stayed in Los Angeles.

I have to say that although the old man's education level is not high, once he understands the reason, he will follow it to the end.

Tang Huan didn't bother to meddle in such trivial matters. Anyway, the place has been prepared, so you can decide how to arrange it yourself.

Tang Huan walked around the front and back of the house and was very satisfied with it.

When he was discussing with Yang Qinglin how to arrange the future security plan more properly, Lu Xiaohu drove over in a hurry and mentioned an emergency.

As early as April 1976, Tang Huan got into trouble, and during the period after he was rushed to Xiangjiang, he was taken care of by the grandparents and grandchildren of Mr. Zhuang Yinuo's family.

At that time, Zhuang Menghua was still a naughty little girl, but her distant cousin Zhuang Xingtai was about the same age as Tang Huan, and they 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, it can be regarded as a good memory in adversity.

The year before last, that is, in 1979, when Tang Huan came to Xiangjiang from the United States for the first time, he heard Zhuang Yinuo muttering angrily that his nephew and grandson who graduated from university did not follow the right path and joined the club.

Because the old man had a lot of things that didn't go his way at that time, such as his company being snatched away under the deliberate design of his partner, so Tang Huan didn't add fuel to the fire to ask in detail, but just inquired about it in private.

Later, after a lot of trouble, the truth of the matter was finally found out.

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

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

Li Yifang's father is wealthy, but because of his obsession with betting on horses, he owed a lot of usury, and finally ran away to Thailand without hearing from him.

Obviously, if you run away from the monk, you can't run away from the temple, and the father will pay the debt. If you still can't make it, then gamble to pay off the debt. Anyway, since people dare to lend usury outside, there are plenty of ways to recoup the debt.

What's more, Li Yifang was pretty and well-educated, so in the eyes of the other party, she was definitely considered a high-end product, and she would definitely fetch a good price.

Under such circumstances, Zhuang Xingtai naturally had to step forward, but the hole was too big, and the dealer simply didn't have the strength to fill it.

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

You know, I'm a college student, and I have no problem finding a job with a good salary.

At the current stage, if Xiangjiang students want to be admitted to university, at least one out of a hundred students will walk the single-plank bridge model. Zhuang Xingtai's guarantee is still very well-founded.

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

However, during this period, the boss of the club above had a brain opening and changed his mind.

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

You know, I'm a college student, and I have no problem finding a job with a good salary.

At the current stage, if Xiangjiang students want to be admitted to university, at least one out of a hundred students will walk the single-plank bridge model. Zhuang Xingtai's guarantee is still very well-founded.
