Chapter 69 "The Empress"

Yun Zhixia's trip to Sichuan Province finally added the last piece of the puzzle of inspiration. The follow-up script was written very quickly, and the first draft was completed in about a month.

There is no impenetrable wall in the circle, let alone a hot celebrity like Yun Zhixia, many people are looking forward to it before the script is finished, let alone now.

Although the final draft has not yet been finalized, the casting work can already be prepared.

In the era when several major video sites are vying for supremacy, Yun Zhixia is one of the few existences who can take the lead in launching the S+ project with only one name.

As long as it was Yun Zhixia's script, there was never any need to worry about the previous problems, and her voice in the crew was large enough that no one would ignore her opinion.

In the past few days, Yun Zhixia has been spending time in meetings, meeting with the management and the director team, so busy that he never touches the ground.

Qu Xiang is the director of "The Empress" this time, and he and Yun Zhixia are old acquaintances.

Yun Zhixia had finalized the schedule with him a long time ago, and as soon as the script was finished, the director team began to advance the follow-up work.

That is to say, Yun Zhixia has a lot of face, otherwise Qu Xiang's work would be scheduled for the next year, and it would be impossible to follow the scriptwriter's pace.

Leaving aside work such as scenography for the time being, as soon as the news of the casting was released, the circle immediately boiled over.

The name "Empress" can tell at a glance that it must be a major heroine drama, and the female lead is the absolute protagonist, and Yun Zhixia's works are well-known for being a dramatist, the story of the [-]th line becoming top-notch overnight Yun Zhixia It has been created several times.

Any artist who can afford it is eager to spend money and also wants to get a role. After many times, he dare not think about it, and the supporting roles are overwhelmed.

And although the high-profile female number one has not released much news for the time being, which female artist who ranks high in the circle doesn't want it?
Regarding the choice of the heroine, the crew has discussed many times. It’s easy to talk about male, male, and female. The length is not too heavy, and the character design is mainly to set off the empress. The embarrassment is who the empress should choose.

The meeting room was brightly lit, several old smokers were sitting together, and at a glance, the room was shrouded in clouds and mist.

Producer Jiang Zhongqi looked at the whiteboard with several names written on it, leaned on the back of the chair and asked casually: "Director Qu, what do you think, do you have any reference candidates?"

There is an obvious Sichuan character line between Qu Xiang's eyebrows, so he always looks very serious when thinking.

He coughed lightly, and said: "Although the age span of this character is not big, from teens to twenties, the difference in personality before and after is not easy to act! How did she grow from a charming girl to an iron-blooded king? An actor must have It takes persuasion."

After speaking, Qu Xiang smiled again: "Besides, the audience is very picky now, and they don't like to watch those who pretend to be young. The age of actresses is relaxed to their early thirties. If they are older, there will be a lot of people who will resist."

Assistant director Luo Qingsong also echoed: "You must not be too old, you must have acting skills, you can't be too sweet, too soft, too delicate, and your appearance must show the heroic temperament of the empress. Such an actor is hard to find!"

For such a complex role that takes the lead, Yun Zhixia wrote clearly in the biography of the character, listing a bunch of requirements, which would give anyone a headache.

In addition to the screenwriter, there are producers, directors and photographers in the room. Everyone has a reputation in the circle, each has a complicated relationship behind them, and each has someone they want to promote, but who can win the crowd?
With Yun Zhixia having a veto right, the nomination was particularly cautious.

"Everyone should think about it later. Let's make a list of candidates. At worst, arrange a few more auditions. Anyway, the final draft of the script has not yet been finalized, so there is plenty of time." Producer Jiang Zhongqi finally said.

After the meeting ended, Qu Xiang found Yun Zhixia alone.

"Senior sister, who is it that you fell in love with to play? Why didn't you mention it at the meeting just now?"

Both Qu Xiang and Yun Zhixia were students of Jingying back then, but Qu Xiang was three years later than Yun Zhixia, so he has been calling her Senior Sister all these years.

He knew that Yun Zhixia went to Sichuan Province in mid-September, and when he came back, he said that the protagonist had a clue, but he never said who it was, even he couldn't find out.

Seeing that Yun Zhixia was still smiling, Qu Xiang said helplessly, "Even I can't tell? It seems that your choice is unexpected!"

"To be honest, your character biography is written like a white drawing. After thinking about it, almost all actresses seem to be wrong. Could it be a newcomer?"

It has to be said that Qu Xiang's sense of smell is quite keen.

Originally, Yun Zhixia also had a lot of worries, because no matter how close her eyes are, it can't change the fact that Yan Fuguang is a newcomer. This drama is her painstaking effort for many years. If Yan Fuguang is really not competent, she can only reluctantly let go of her favorite.

But as the script gradually improved, the context of the role of the Empress became clearer and clearer. Yun Zhixia recalled the mysterious and mysterious charm of Yan Fuguang's body several times that day, and even subconsciously brought her appearance into the character. It should be her.

In the end, Yun Zhixia chose to trust her intuition.

So Mo Yun received a call from Yun Zhixia.

Even though Mo Yun was prepared, she was still very surprised that Yun Zhixia called her in person, probably because of her favor.

It was another Saturday, Mo Yun specially waited for Yan Fuguang to finish class at the company, and Yun Zhixia asked them to meet tonight.

Mo Yun had dealt with Yun Zhixia many years ago, and the first behind-the-scenes Zhuo Yinan she brought out was from Yun Zhixia's "Gong Ci".

With Yun Zhixia's style of doing things, as long as work is involved, there is no room for sloppyness. Being able to take the initiative to invite this time is already a good example of the problem.

"How is it, are you confident?"

Seeing Yan Fuguang staring out the car window in a daze, Mo Yun asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Yan Fuguang knew that Mo Yun attached great importance to this opportunity, so he comforted him, "The challenge is not very big."

Mo Yun couldn't help being happy: "Yo, so confident!"

After laughing, while waiting for the red light, Mo Yun still solemnly asked: "It is a good thing to have confidence, but don't think that you are the only one, no matter why Yun Zhixia values ​​​​you, in the end it will be you." To put it into performance, if you can't act, it doesn't matter how much she likes you."

"And as far as I know, the total investment of this drama is close to [-] million, and the opinion of the management is also the top priority. Yun Zhixia's side is only the first hurdle, and there are still more tests to come!"

Mo Yun talked about the investigation materials during this period.

"[-] million? Is it too much or too little?" Yan Fuguang turned his head and asked.

Mo Yun's fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, familiar with the repertoires that have been invested heavily in recent years.

"Qin Xiaoran, do you still remember that boy we met in the company before, and the "Biography of the Concubine Ming" he broadcast earlier invested [-] million yuan, which was already one of the biggest productions last year. If there are war scenes or fairy tales, the budget will be higher. More, but the film and television industry has been in a downturn recently, and there are very few projects exceeding [-] million yuan, Yun Zhixia will make a big move once he makes a move!"
