Of course, what Yue Guan wanted to photograph was Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
Last year, Yue Guan had a conversation with Mo Xiangwan. At that time, Yue Guan had to choose from three options. Mo Xiangwan suggested that he choose "The Gatekeeper of the World" because it would be easier to get results after "The Gatekeeper of the World" is filmed. .
Facts proved that Mo Xiangwan's judgment was correct.
"The Gatekeepers of the World" not only exploded in ratings, but also successfully sold overseas. This is an achievement that is impossible for a historical drama.
However, "The Gatekeeper of the World" has already achieved success, and Yue Guan has not played an emperor for a long time. Playing another emperor at this time will not solidify the audience's impression of him.
Mo Xiangwan didn't object.
Last year, she was a little worried because she really felt that there were too many emperors in Yueguan. For every two dramas, one was an emperor drama. This ratio was abnormally high.
However, after filming "The Gatekeeper of the World", Yue Guan successfully created a mentally ill protagonist.
In addition, Yue Guan's previous performances of Qi Tongwei and Jiang Yang each have their own charms. In a short period of time, no one will think that Yue Guan's type has been solidified. On the contrary, basically everyone now believes that Yue Guan is highly malleable and has the ability to challenge various types of roles.
It doesn't matter if he plays more emperor dramas. Tang Guoqiang has performed more emperor dramas, but it does not affect the audience's opinion that his acting skills are very good.
"After you and I talked last year, I searched for information about Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun. It is indeed as you said, a very legendary emperor with many points worthy of film and television." Mo Xiangwan nodded and then asked : "Do you want to make a serious drama or make it more popular?"
The so-called popularization actually means romanticization.
The life of Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, was full of ups and downs. You can film it in any way you like. If you want to make it into a drama, there are many points that can be filmed. Whether it is martial arts or martial arts, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is worthy of special mention.
It would be even easier to film it as a romance. The love story between Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and his first wife, Queen Xu, would definitely touch countless audiences.
Yue Guan had considered this issue before and said calmly: "Let's be more popular. Try to be consistent with historical facts in the general direction. Don't be too particular about the small details. Everything serves the plot. I have filmed a lot of dramas before, but on the contrary Romantic dramas have not taken over at all since "Chuang Ming". In terms of ratings, if they are more popular, they can also attract more viewers."
"That's for sure. Yue Guan, you made a wise choice." Mo Xiangwan said.
She was originally thinking about how to suggest that Yue Guan's photography should be more popular.
During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, although the country was strong, except for Huo Guang, there were no other historical celebrities who could be familiar to the audience.
Therefore, if this kind of dynasty is made into a serious drama, the audience will actually have little interest.
But if you want to shoot emotional scenes, you don’t have to worry about this problem.
The love story between Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Empress Xu has enough points to explore.
"In this case, the choice of the heroine is very important. Yue Guan, who do you plan to use as the heroine in this drama?" Mo Xiangwan asked.
"Xu Pingjun is considered the poor wife of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. She married him when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was still ill. She was not a noble girl, so for this role, we should try to find a female star of the Xiaojiabiyu type. She is too noble and too noble. Either gorgeous or charming does not meet the requirements." Yue Guandao.
Hearing what Yue Guan said, Mo Xiangwan was slightly startled: "Too noble, too gorgeous, and too charming doesn't meet the requirements? In that case, it seems that none of your confidante can do it, right?"
"In terms of role compatibility, they are really not very suitable."
Yue Guan thought that it would be best to choose this role from one of his own confidantes. After all, the money would not go to outsiders, but there was really no suitable choice.
Their temperament and image do not fit with the image of Xu Pingjun in the script setting.
Therefore, Yue Guan did not force it.
Anyway, there are many female celebrities in the entertainment industry, but if you can't find them in your circle of friends, you can just cast a net in the entire entertainment industry.
"Sister Xiang Wan, do you have a suitable candidate?" Yue Guan asked.
He really hadn't thought of anyone who was particularly suitable as his first choice for this role.
Mo Xiangwan thought about it seriously, and then came up with someone who met this requirement: "How about Liu Shishi? Her image and temperament are in line with Xiaojiabiyu's setting. She is just right in beauty and not aggressive at all."
Yue Guan nodded: "In terms of temperament and image, Liu Shishi is indeed quite suitable, but there is a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"Xu Pingjun was very young when she married Liu Bingji, and she was only 19 years old when she was killed. Unless the script is revised, it would be best to find some younger female stars to play this role, or find someone who can't act young. The discovered female stars will act.”
Mo Xiangwan thought thoughtfully: "Younger female stars, and Xiaojiabiyu type... Now that we have it, how about Zhang Zifeng?"
Yue Guan coughed loudly: "Sister Xiang Wan, isn't this a little too small?"
"Don't you want a smaller one?" Mo Xiangwan asked doubtfully.
Yue Guan: "...it's too young, so I can't do anything with it."
After all, he is most likely going to sleep with "Xu Pingjun" in the virtual space.
Zhang Zifeng... Although he is past the age of breaking the law, he is still young.
Yue Guan is a person with a bottom line.
"From a historical perspective, Zhang Zifeng is actually a little older." Mo Xiangwan said one thing.
"Sister Xiang Wan, the audience's reaction also needs to be considered. Zhang Zifeng is so young, so asking her to play this kind of couple love scene will not have a good impact." Yue Guan explained.
Mo Xiangwan frowned, then nodded slowly: "That's true, the impact is indeed not very good. But it is very difficult to do it this way. Female celebrities who are too old do not meet the age setting of the characters, and female celebrities who are too young do not meet the character's age setting. And because they are too young and not very influential, I can’t choose them. Isn’t this very contradictory?”
"It is indeed a bit contradictory." Yue Guan was helpless: "If there is no particularly suitable candidate, then I will change Xu Pingjun's age. It is not a drama anyway, so changing the age is nothing. Everything serves the plot."
Mo Xiangwan couldn't think of a particularly suitable candidate for the time being, so he simply suggested: "Since you can't think of a particularly good candidate, let's open the audition. If you choose a heroine for your new play, most female stars will be interested. You can find the right candidate.”
Yue Guan nodded: "Sister Xiang Wan, please help me organize it. The heroine may indeed have to audition publicly."
There is no irreplaceable first choice in his mind. In this case, fair competition is fine.
