At this time, someone saw Liu Qingshan's arrival and automatically flashed out of a passage.
After he arrived, he smiled and said: "Although the drama we are filming now is not a palace fight drama, it is also something that happened in the ancient aristocracy! To be honest, this drama is just my attempt on a similar theme. In terms of nature, It's just a romantic drama dressed in ancient costume! The next "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a real big production that can be recorded in the history of plots. It is full of machinations and intrigues, and the complexity of murder and human nature runs through it. In addition to being wonderful, it is also groundbreaking!”
In fact, compared with the original version, Liu Qingshan has made a lot of deletions in this drama.
First of all, in terms of theme, he downplayed the formal significance of those Machiavellian palace battles, but used these Machiavellian palace battles to reflect the tragedy of women in the harem and the oppression of people by the feudal system.
Even the emperor could not escape the shackles of power. In order to secure the throne, he had to kill his own son, let alone the concubines in the palace.
And at the same time, he also downplayed various Mary Sues, especially the part about falling in love with the prince, but he deleted them all.
He believes that this bloody romance is the regret of the entire original series, so he would rather let the original 70-odd episodes be greatly reduced due to the lack of this paragraph, rather than let this version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have a huge plot flaw.
It is said that the author of the original work was always ostracized and the screenwriter at the time deleted this paragraph. The reason why it was preserved in the series was because of her persistence.
Perhaps this is the author's personal preference, but as a plagiarist, Liu Qingshan has the advantage that the original author cannot know the market feedback in advance.
Many of his changes were based on public comments after the work became popular. Maybe he was morally sorry for the original author, but he tried his best to cater to the market's reaction.
He also made major changes in the selection of actors, that is, he excluded the actor who played the emperor for the first time. One of the most criticized flaws in the original drama was the original emperor's facial paralysis expression.
Who is the emperor? The central figure surrounded by various concubines!
Yes, that’s right, he has many titles: Emperor, Yongzheng, Shiro!
He is the emperor of the people; the husband of the concubines; the giver of benefits to the concubines in the harem; the leader of the power of life and death in the world; the center of the harem and concubines; the gathering place of love and hate.
If the concubines in the harem are compared to pugs waiting for rewards from their masters (although the comparison is extremely inappropriate), then the emperor is their master.
The reason why the struggle in the harem is difficult is that there is no fixed standard, and the only standard of authority is the emperor.
"If you say you can do it, then you can do it or not. If you say no, you can't do it. If you don't accept it, you can't do it." This is always very appropriate here.
It is difficult to evaluate the emperor, because he is the emperor and sees things in terms of conventional wisdom. The authority of his words is the consensus of the people at that time.
Evaluating him from the emperor's point of view, he is indeed a good emperor: everything is for the good operation of the state machinery, killing corrupt officials, those who want to rebel and those who want to rebel in the future, assessing the Norbu Zangdanjin rebellion, burning incense and praying to Buddha to pray for relief from the rain from heaven. During the drought, in order to quell the plague, even guilty people would be relieved. They would often criticize children in the Yangxin Hall and kill their brothers.
.
Of course, kill your brothers
This can also be understood as: for the sake of the stability of the country and the Qing Dynasty, he would rather kill his own brother.
But if you look at it from the perspective of a husband, there are two distinct sides.
On the one hand, after you go to bed, a large number of rewards will follow. They will carry you around the palace, please you in every way, and fly kites with you.
On the other hand, sometimes regardless of the truth, as long as there is a violation, those who deserve to be beaten, those who deserve to be slapped, those who deserve to be grounded, and those who deserve to be killed are killed.
In short, in his eyes, the world is mine, and you are even more mine.
In fact, the original actors acted very well, with small eyes, showing you a completely unpredictable mind.
His understanding of the women in the harem should only be able to make him happy for a while, but in his heart there is only pure Yuan.
Shen Meizhuang realized it when he was banned and was heartbroken. When Zhen Huan mistakenly wore Chun Yuan's clothes and fell out of favor, she realized that she was just Chun Yuan's shadow. The emperor only loved her and Chun Yuan's resemblance. .
The tragedy of the emperor is that he does not understand and cannot understand respect for others. He is always unpredictable and makes people very wary of him, because he may be favored today and may be out of favor tomorrow.
Listening to the words of other people's family can be regarded as a foreshadowing for his later conspiracy in the harem. You will also feel that although he is an emperor, he is actually very pitiful. None of the three children are his, and he only found out when he was dying.
He has also been the target of the concubines in the harem. They use different methods to make you happy, just for themselves.
In order to make you believe it, I set up all kinds of traps, put on all kinds of painful dramas, and used you to make you destroy the people who had done wrong to you. The person you thought was the mother of the world was actually the person who harmed your children the most.
The twins you brought back to the palace in a graceful manner belonged to your younger brother. You celebrated the birth of the princess happily, but you didn’t know that it was the child of the imperial physician. His child would still be raised by your Qing in the palace. There is status, there is glory and wealth.
As far as this drama is concerned, the emperor sometimes feels hateful and sometimes pitiful.
And since Zhen Huan returned to the palace, he has become Zhen Huan's pawn, using him to achieve the purpose of saving his father, revenge, and eliminating opponents!
Just imagine, even such a person who is in a high position and has the greatest power may not always be able to get everything right. You can come and go at the drop of a hat to others, and others can plot against you secretly.
No one can say who took advantage, and no one can say that what I gained must be more than what I lost. It was so obvious at that moment that a person with such rich experience could just have a paralyzed expression on his face. All performed?
This play is a women's play, men are supporting characters, and the emperor should be considered the biggest supporting role. However, this supporting role is the most criticized, just because he has no expression, no expression!
Why don't you express your emotions? There's also the tender "耀耀" that's supposed to sound like water, which really gives me goosebumps. Coupled with a face that doesn't understand all five senses, it doesn't match, the aura doesn't match, and it doesn't match in all kinds of ways.
So Liu Qingshan thought of replacing someone, and called Chen Daosheng as soon as possible.
Nowadays, there are many people in the mainland actor market who are capable of playing the role of emperor, but this person is the only one Liu Qingshan feels is the most suitable.
Chen Daosheng, who was always cautious when accepting roles, did not reply directly that day, but asked to read the script v. So the two met in a teahouse, and three days later, Chen Daosheng gave a positive reply.
Therefore, after these revisions, completions, or deletions, this version of the script was created.
At this time, Liu Qingshan's boastful interpretation continued: "Not only Sister Xishan and I are very interested in this drama, but even the props team has entered into intense preparations in advance! For example, all the costumes required by the characters in the drama are In an effort to make it exquisite and gorgeous, we have placed a large order with a professional antique clothing factory. We have completed the design of all textures and styles. We will officially start customization once the actor's size is determined!"
In this regard, Jin Xishan still has a strong say: "Shanzi drew separate patterns for more than 20 characters in the play, such as Zhen Huan, whom I played. He started with the costume of Xiaojiabiyu, the unmarried maiden of this character. He designed specific patterns and then promoted himself step by step from Zhen Huan, each with the most suitable design! You may not know yet, but he has deep experience in fashion design, such as Prada, Armani, and Mulberry. All works adopt his design plan!”
This explanation caused an uproar. Liu Qingshan's other abilities are well known, but not many people really know about his talent in clothing design.
Moreover, the three brands that Jin Xishan used as examples are all major international brands. The top designs in the clothing industry, and the works that can be favored by these three companies, are of course the best among them.
Liu Qingshan then said: "That's why I say that the future drama series will be well-made from top to bottom, inside and out, and the actual investment will reach an astronomical figure. If you want to be in this drama When you get a role, you have to show your strength! I am very strict in selecting people. Preventing all traffic stars from joining is equivalent to blocking the phenomenon of indiscriminate filling of people caused by capital interference. ! My requirements are that at least your lines are good enough, your acting skills are adequate, your work attitude is correct, you must have a thorough understanding of the character, and you must be willing to endure hardships during the filming process, and there is nothing else!"
Many people at the scene were secretly dumbfounded. This kind of selection criteria is really strict. Those without certain acting experience really cannot meet the standards he said.
There are seventy to eighty women present today. Of course, more people can only sit on the periphery to listen. Those who enter the core communication circle are at least some famous actors.
Therefore, most of them are the new generation who have just graduated from professional colleges or are currently studying. Because although this crew was built by Zhou Xun, Liu Qingshan's prerequisite requires that one of the most ordinary maids also needs to have experienced professional performances. of course.
Therefore, the vast majority of people here have such qualifications, and they can all understand the level of care and refinement that Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan just explained.
While they were nervous about the strict admission requirements, they were also aware of the rareness of this opportunity and the value of their future expectations.
Once I can join in, it will undoubtedly have a significant promotion effect on my future acting career.
Who in the world doesn't know the market appeal of Liu Qingshan? This alone has actually given the entire show a well-known heavyweight publicity effect.
The subsequent filming of the plot, even if it is only moderate, will have the potential to become a hit. Not only will the actors in the drama become famous, but it may not be impossible to become popular overnight.
