Mo Xiangwan had briefly read the script, but she did not understand it too deeply, because Yue Guan had always made the decision on his own when it came to taking on roles, and Mo Xiangwan was too lazy to spend too much energy.
Seeing Yue Guan's reaction, Mo Xiangwan was a little surprised: "The script is really bad?"
"It's really bad. Unfortunately, I had high expectations before reading it. After all, it was written about Ying Zheng, but it turned out to be a piece of shit. There was absolutely nothing I wanted to see."
"What do you want to see?"
"The filming of Ying Zheng is of course positioned as a historical drama, and historical dramas are of course based on the grand historical background. In the era of great conflict among the seven kingdoms, what I want to see is the intrigues and decadence and backwardness of the six kingdoms. I want to see How Qin State used its own advantages to defeat the six countries, how Ying Zheng grew from a proton to the first emperor in history to dominate the world, and how Ying Zheng created various systems that influenced future generations. I believe This is not only my expectation for Ying Zheng, but also the audience's expectation for this kind of TV series. Sister Xiang Wan, if you want to watch a TV series with Ying Zheng as the protagonist, will you go to the palace fight drama to watch it? " Yue Guan asked.
Mo Xiangwan shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with me, of course not. There are so many stories that Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng can tell, but the most attractive one is definitely not palace battles, and the audience itself is not an audience who likes palace battle dramas."
"The problem arises here. Audiences and fans who like Ying Zheng will not go to watch Gong Dou drama. People who like to watch Gong Dou drama will not go to see Ying Zheng. But the feeling this script gives me is A palace-fighting drama is wrapped in the shell of a war, and there are many more scenes of palace-fighting than war," Yue Guandao said.
Mo Xiangwan: "..."
Yue Guan shook his head and said speechlessly: "I haven't seen such a stupid script for a long time. I can't even figure out my own position. Lao Ai and Zhao Ji can write thirty episodes. There are no details about destroying the Six Kingdoms. , did not call himself emperor, did not build the Great Wall, had no books with the same text, no cars with the same track, and no system of counties and counties, then you are lonely. In Ying Zheng's life, Lao Ai was considered lonely, so there is no need for such a big book special Book? It really has no structure at all."
"There is no pattern."
Mo Xiangwan himself doesn't have a big fan filter for Ying Zheng, but if he really wanted to watch a movie with Ying Zheng as the protagonist, he wouldn't go to the harem to watch it.
If you really want to watch a harem drama, you must watch "The Forbidden City", which is positioned as a palace-fighting drama. Audiences who watch this kind of drama will definitely not want to see the warriors taking up too much of the scene.
And it is positioned as a historical drama, and then to film palace battles... This is obviously selling dog meat over sheep's heads, and it disgusts the audience for nothing.
The name Ying Zheng itself is incompatible with palace fighting dramas. If you really want to film a palace fighting drama, then just write the protagonist as Lao Ai, so that the audience will not be upset.
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Aren't the scripts in the previous "Qin Empire" series all very well done? How come the style of this one has become so great?" Mo Xiangwan asked curiously.
Yue Guan: "You asked me who I asked? Didn't you say that the script was specially changed for me? I feel insulted."
Mo Xiangwan: "...Yue Guan, tell me honestly, if it were shot according to the quality of the previous "Qin Empire" series, would you accept this movie? If you are willing to accept it, I will let them change the script. I believe that as long as they don't Silly, I am definitely willing to change it according to your ideas. If you are not willing to accept it, then I will push it to you directly and don’t waste time. "
Yue Guan thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I can't give a guaranteed vote now. The scripts of the previous "Qin Empire" series are good, but the entry requirements for the audience are indeed a bit high. In theory, I won't accept this kind of drama. Yes, it’s too highbrow.”
"But there are many anecdotes about celebrities during the Yingzheng period, and almost everyone in the audience can recognize them by name, so the audience base will naturally expand several times." Mo Xiangwan said.
"Sister Xiang Wan, you are right. If this one has the quality of the first three, then just because of the name Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, the results will definitely be much better than the previous three." Yue Guan agreed with this view: "If I If it is acted, the audience base will be expanded even more. But I don’t know how they will write the script, so I can’t give you a definite answer for the time being.”
Among the ancient emperors, Ying Zheng's popularity could be counted among the three. In the minds of many viewers, Ying Zheng was actually number one and very popular.
It is incredible that such a popular emperor does not have a recognized classic role.
There are many bosses who have played the role of Qin Shihuang. Zhang Fengyi has played it, Tang Guoqiang has played it, Jet Li has played it, Yu Hewei has played it, Li Xuejian has played it, Chen Daoming has played it...
These are all recognized bosses.
Especially Tang Guoqiang, Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming... In terms of acting skills alone, these are all top-level actors in the Chinese entertainment industry, and few people will question their acting skills.
However, the Ying Zheng performed by these big guys actually did not satisfy the audience.
They have many classic characters, but Ying Zheng has never been their classic character.
It shows that it is actually very difficult to play Ying Zheng well and reach the hearts of the audience.
Even this kind of boss can't be perfect.
Therefore, Yue Guan is also under great pressure, even if he has cheats.
"There are many big shots who have played Ying Zheng, but none of them have played Ying Zheng well... so far. When I say good acting, I mean the kind that can enter the pantheon and be recognized as a classic role. Sister Xiang Wan, if I To play Ying Zheng, I must go for a classic role, otherwise I would rather not act. So I have very high requirements for the script, very high, very high, and I will not allow myself to mess up the performance."
Mo Xiangwan thought of Yue Guan's emphasis on the "Immortal Qin Empire" series and nodded: "I understand, Ying Zheng means something different to you."
"Almost, not only for me, but also for most male actors in the entertainment industry, it means something different. Just like the actresses in the Dragon Kingdom want to create a classic version of Wu Zetian, any actor who has some pursuits doesn't want the audience to In your mind, Ying Zheng becomes his own face? After all, Ying Zheng is the first emperor in history, and the meaning is different."
For Yueguan, the meaning is particularly different.
Because what he is best at is emperor drama.
Among the emperors, Ying Zheng is definitely a monumental emperor.
Tang Guoqiang, Chen Daoming, and Li Xuejian did not play Ying Zheng well. If he had played Ying Zheng well, the sense of accomplishment would be greater than if he made one billion.
Because of this, he was cautious.
"So you still want to act, right?" Mo Xiangwan said.
Yue Guan was silent for a moment and nodded: "Of course I want to act. I am an actor after all. The more difficult the role, the more I want to challenge it. Even if I am preparing for "The Immortal Qin Empire", I want the audience to accept me first. He plays Ying Zheng."
"I understand, since you want to act, then leave it to me." Mo Xiangwan said: "What you want to do is the direction of my efforts. I can't help you with things outside the entertainment industry. I will satisfy you with everything."
"Sister Xiang Wan, this is not our resource." Yue Guan reminded.
Mo Xiangwan smiled: "Not now, but if you like it, I will make it our resource."
Looking at Mo, the domineering president, Xiang, the strong woman, Wan, Yue Guan felt like he was in love.
"Sister Xiang Wan, I want it."
"What do you want..."
