Chapter 183 Variant version of ancient puppet show, Oscar for best director

Zhao's Financial Building.

Zhao Donghuai was still working when he saw He Qing coming from outside with a bright smile on his face, "Brother Huai, I recently received a script and it seemed pretty good. Can you help me take a look?"

Under her words, Qiu Shuzhen hurriedly ran to make tea. Although at this stage, no matter whether it was film industry bosses like Hong Yinbao, Cheng Long, or rich tycoons like Lin Jianyue, they would not dare to let A Zhen enter Director Zhao's office.

Or Zhang Min brings tea and water.

But He Qing is obviously not in this sequence.

When Zhao Donghuai took over the script and read it, he saw the name of (Female Medical Saint) at a glance, as well as screenwriters Wang Jing, Huang Bingyao, Mei Xiaoqing, Wang Jiawei and a bunch of other names.

Director Zhao was speechless.

Good guy, Ah Qing wants to accept the script, does she feel good about it? Just look at these names and you will know that this script is not going to be too bad.

After all, this is a group of directors and screenwriters who have experienced the impact of fashion idol dramas such as (Meteor Garden) (Blue Life and Death) (Winter Sonata) (Variant Version of Stairway to Heaven).

When he was reading the official script, Ah Qing waved to Qiu Shuzhen, "Azhen, I won't drink tea anymore. You can wash some grapes or something and we can eat together."

More than half an hour later.

After hurriedly reading the script, Zhao Donghuai couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, this book is very good. It would be more suitable for you to go to the mainland for filming. Mrs. Zhang from the Song Dynasty was named a female medical saint by Song Renzong. She is the leading female lead in a variant of ancient puppet drama.

.”

"The ratings will definitely be high after the film is made. I just want to produce a real historical blockbuster with a quality that is better in mainland film and television cities."

What Lao Wang and the others created (Female Medical Saint) is a new drama that does not exist in the original Hong Kong film and television industry.

How to describe it? This is a combination of the variant version of (Dae Jang Geum) and (The Female Doctor: The Legend of Myung Concubine), highlighting an idol drama with a big heroine and a big career drama.

In the historical background of the Song Dynasty, the female medical saint proclaimed by Song Renzong was a real person in history. She was one of the four legendary female doctors in ancient China.

The historical figure of Miss Zhang is quite legendary. It combines the routines and styles of idol dramas. As long as the filming is up to standard, it will be a brand new masterpiece besides He Qingjian (The Legend of White Snake).

After all, in the original South Korean drama series, fashion idols such as (Blue Life and Death), (Winter Sonata) and (Stairway to Heaven) etc. were launched all the way, which enhanced the status and influence of South Korean dramas, and the influence of ancient costumes (Dae Jang Geum)

How is the strength?

The original 54-episode series (Dae Jang Geum) did indeed bomb Asia in 2003.

The 2016 version of (Female Doctor: The Legend of the Concubine) can be considered one of Shishi's representative works in "Canteen Rice Fairy". When it was broadcast in the environment of 2016, it was ranked first in China's ratings at the same time.

Wang Jing can hold it all by himself (a variant version of Stairway to Heaven), and now he has also recruited a group of friends to join forces to create a heroine starring in an ancient puppet based on historical celebrity prototypes.

The script greatly changes the life background of the Northern Song Dynasty female medical saint Zhang Xiaoniang.

Referring to Dae Jang Geum's version, the heroine lost her parents at an early age and had nowhere to go. She was adopted by the palace people and joined the royal kitchen. She had a strong personality, studied hard, was kind-hearted, etc. She was appreciated by others, and then was suppressed and ostracized by other villains.

This is all the scriptwriting skills of Lao Wang and others. Only when there is conflict will it be interesting!

Then the heroine was falsely accused and was exiled... During the exile, she began to study medicine and entered the circle of imperial doctors as a medical woman. She relied on her strength and talent to treat various diseases of the concubines in the harem, including the queen.

Then, like the historical archetype Mrs. Zhang, she had a secret recipe to help women beautify and maintain their beauty, making the concubines in the harem more beautiful and beautiful. She was appointed by Song Renzong as a female medical saint. This is the finale.

but……

There are two development lines at the end of the script. One is the development of being respected and treated well by Song Renzong, and being treated as a good friend by the queen and concubines.

The other was admitted into the harem by Song Renzong.

No matter which development line, as long as it is filmed, it will be a classic ancient puppet drama with a leading female lead, including the title of female medical saint who will be successful in her career and leave her name in the history books!

While Zhao Donghuai was sighing, He Qing suddenly smiled sweetly, "Brother Huai, do you want to make a guest appearance as Song Renzong? The second development line is customized for you."

"Even North American super-rich Bill Guy will make a cameo in Cheng Long's Police Story 2. Wouldn't it be nice for a great director like you to make a guest appearance while waiting for the special effects post-production of Jurassic Park?"

Zhao Donghuai was speechless and was almost knocked out of his way, "Am I a guest star?"

Why did you ask me to make a cameo in such a stupid way? But to play the role of the emperor... the role setting is not bad. Song Renzong was the official family of Bao Zheng, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and other famous officials recorded in history.

He Qing nodded affirmatively, "Yes, if you don't make a cameo and I play the role of this female medical saint, how can I attract a group of Song Renzong's harem who are more beautiful than me based on my appearance??"

"You can't win over all my beautiful concubines, right? If that's the case, it would be a bit illogical for Song Renzong to just make me the female medical saint in the finale."

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

Director Zhao was speechless again, but He Qing smiled and stuffed the peeled red raisin into his mouth. He was begging for mercy anyway.

Ah Qing doesn't have much pursuit in other aspects of her career, but she still wants to leave a few more good images in film and television classics.

As long as Zhao Donghuai agrees to make a cameo, then the harem of Song Renzong's character in this TV series (Female Medical Saint) can be easily arranged.

Acting skills? Zhao Donghuai's acting skills are really good. In the junior and mid-term simulations, he has already mastered master-level acting skills and grandmaster-level acting skills through countless simulations.

Not to mention TV dramas, even when he appeared in a high-quality movie, he gave a movie-level performance, but He Qing suddenly attacked him, which was a bit ungrateful.

Besides, he's just playing the emperor... With the temperament he has cultivated over the years, the power in his hands, etc., it's really not difficult to play that role.

After all, it is a guest appearance. In the entire (Female Medical Saint) crew, the emperor appears in very few scenes. This is not a Qingli New Deal reform, but an ancient puppet show about a female doctor.

He Qing continued to increase his efforts, "Azhen, Zhang Min, you guys are also here to help. We are still young, but people will grow old. Now that we can convince Brother Huai to make a cameo, you can also act as the youngest and best

The image was left in the TV series."

"When I get older in a few decades, I can revisit it."

Qiu Shuzhen, the little fox, was very moved.

………………

A few days later, Zhao Donghuai was sitting in the big office with a bit of toothache.

His initial mentality was that he would be fine just being a director quietly, and he was also very active in various careers other than directing.

After He Qing's surprise attack, there were too many people talking to He Qing. For example, after filming "Jurassic Park", Zhou Huimin originally had no interest in film and television dramas in the short term, but now she wants Song Renzong.

The role of Queen Cao in the family is over.

She also tried to convince Director Zhao by trying to persuade Guan Jiahui to play the role of Empress Guo... After all, Empress Guo was a deposed empress in history. She was deposed by Song Renzong and established Empress Cao.

Chen Hong helped to persuade her that she wanted to play the role of Zhang Meiren, the Zhang family. Historically, in the circle of concubines of Song Renzong, there were more than one concubines named Zhang, and there were several. A Hong wanted to play the role of Zhang Meiren, who was Renzong's favorite.

Zhang Meiren was canonized as Queen Zhang after her death.

Qiu Shuzhen wanted to play another concubine Zhang, who was also posthumously named Empress Zhang after her death.

With so many people interceding, Zhao Donghuai will naturally be shaken. In the final analysis, a few big stars want to take advantage of their prime, youth and beauty to leave a youthful film and television drama image.

Who makes the fourth voice of a group of big stars more persuasive?

That is to say, Monica Bellucci had no reaction to this. After all her efforts, she did not find a role that she could participate in in the historical drama project of the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this moment, Qiu Shuzhen came over with a smile and reported, "Boss, Zhang Yimou, Huang Jianxin and Nicole Kidman are all here."

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Then come in."

This time, it’s still the Oscar-winning team. It’s already March 16th, and this year’s Oscars ceremony will start on the afternoon of March 30th.

Among Zhao's many blockbusters last year.

(Never Compromise) still has the greatest Olympic qualifications, and was nominated for Best Director and Best Actress. Xu Ke also received a Best Director nomination for (Good Will Hunting), and Al Pacino was nominated for Best Actor.

This is Al's fifth Best Actor nomination! He was actually nominated for an Oscar for supporting role!

Zhang Yimou and Huang Jianxin's (Juno) script was not nominated for Best Director, but it was nominated for Best Picture.

Nicole Kidman, like Adjani, was nominated for Best Actress.

After a large group of people came in and said hello politely, Zhao Donghuai waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone, just treat it as a trip to Hollywood to relax."

"Lao Xu, Lao Zhang, you are just running with me, and so is Nicole. I am just going to review my resume. The best director is mine, the best actress is Adjani, the best actor is Al Pacino... Guan Sheng is the best

Excellent supporting actor."

It's March, and Old Jack and Old Sam's investment money, not to mention their profits, are all stuck in Zhao Donghuai's hands.

At this stage, it is him who decides how to distribute the Oscars.

That is to say, in order to take into account the authority of the Oscars and not to directly pluck them to death, this distribution plan was devised.

This is a good plan!

I won’t talk about advocating Adjani as an Oscar-winning actress. I’ll just say one thing. Al Pacino has been in Hollywood for half his life. He was nominated for four times for Best Actor but failed to win. He came to Hong Kong Island to guest star as an acting professor. By the way

Acted in a movie.

It was originally a second or third male role that was defined as a major supporting role, but he suddenly won the Golden Globe and Oscar winner trophies??

Even if Al is a great actor and an authentic white man, this will still produce some magical halo effects. That is, the Best Picture Award, Zhao Donghuai did not interfere.

All the situations have been arranged to this point, what else is there to be nervous about?

Isabel Adjani also smiled coquettishly at the crowd, "That's right, let's listen to Zhao Sheng and just prepare the speech script in advance."

Zhao Donghuai himself is not going to North America. (Never Compromise) All the thank-you speeches from the entire crew were delivered by Adjani alone.

Guan Shan was too lazy to go or said it was inconvenient to go, so he just asked Liang Jiahui to accompany him to collect the prize.

Under these words, Zhang Yimou and Huang Jianxin looked at each other, and once again felt the shattering of a certain filter halo.

Last year, the two of them jointly won the Best Director trophy at the Cannes International Film Festival. The filter was broken and couldn't be glued back together. Now they are personally involved in such an event? It turns out that Hollywood is just like this.
