Chapter 604 I Want to Be the Emperor

ps: There is only one chapter tonight, and the second chapter will be added tomorrow. Everyone go to bed early, good night.

"What arrangement?"

Liu Shishi and Tang Yan both turned their heads at the same time.

Zhou Mo took out two scripts from his bag.

The two girls didn't bother to argue or eat, they just opened the script and started reading.

Five big words caught my eye.

"I Want to Be the Emperor".

Tang Yan raised her eyebrows and her expression relaxed a little.

From the name, you can tell it’s a costume drama.

Costume dramas are good.

Her comfort zone.

Liu Shishi asked, "The background is the late Ming Dynasty?"

When she was flipping through the documents just now, she accidentally saw Zhu Youjian's name.

Isn’t Zhu Youjian the Emperor Chongzhen?

Zhou Mo nodded and let her continue reading.

He has put the main plot of the script on the second page. This has always been his habit, which makes it easier for him to make revisions and for others to understand the content.

The two girls spent more than ten minutes reading through the plot introduction and finally understood the story of the script.

The story is set in the late Ming Dynasty, during the Chongzhen period.

After the death of Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was succeeded by his younger brother Zhu Youjian, whose reign was called Chongzhen.

When Chongzhen first came to power, he was full of ambition and aspirations.

He believed that with his own efforts and those of the learned men in the court, he would be able to reverse the decline of the Ming Dynasty and achieve its revival.

However, as time went on, he gradually discovered that the facts were completely different from what he had imagined.

The prime minister was replaced one after another, but the court still could not function properly.

Generals were replaced one after another, but the border was still in a state of crisis all year round.

Civil officials, military generals, royal family members, and eunuchs.

Everyone was deceiving him, and everyone was betraying his trust.

Natural disasters occurred frequently within the country and rebellions continued.

The country's external enemies are invading and knocking on the gates.

Emperor Chongzhen became increasingly angry and confused.

He didn't understand. He was obviously very frugal and was willing to trust his ministers and generals, but he still couldn't do even one thing well.

Just as the imperial court was becoming increasingly chaotic, a hidden force was rising in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty.

Prince Fu's Mansion.

The Son of Heaven is the one who has strong soldiers and horses.

Seeing that the empire was getting worse day by day under the control of Zhu Youjian, if it continued like this, the Ming Dynasty might be in danger of collapse!

Zhu Youjian's uncle Zhu Changxun saw it all and felt pain in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty did not belong to Zhu Youjian alone, but to everyone in the Zhu family.

And he, Zhu Changxun, the Prince of Fu of the Ming Dynasty, as a person who almost became the foundation of the country, should stand up and turn the tide at this moment!

I want to be the emperor!

After reading the script, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan looked at each other.

Both of them saw a hint of weirdness in each other's seriousness.

"I always feel familiar with this script," said Liu Shishi.

"Me too."

The two women looked at Zhou Mo together.

Zhou Mo didn't keep the person in suspense and gave the answer directly.

"Of course I am familiar with him. Zhu Changxun is the Prince of Fu, and the Prince of Fu's fiefdom is in Luoyang, Zhongyuan Province."

Luoyang?!
It was as if a light bulb had turned on above the two women's heads.

Background of the late Ming Dynasty + the forces behind Luoyang.

Isn't it the background of the "Phoenix Guards" in "The Qi Family Blade"? "It turns out that this drama is in the same line as "The Qi Family Blade"." Liu Shishi suddenly realized.

After a pause, she looked at Zhou Mo with some surprise again.

"Wait, then can I assume that when you were arranging "The Qi Family Blade" back then, you had already laid the groundwork for this script?"

Zhou Mo did not respond directly, but the smile on his lips revealed his intention.

"It's true." Liu Shishi murmured.

She really wanted to express her surprise, but when she thought that it was Zhou Mo who did it, she suddenly felt that there was nothing strange about it.

This guy has prepared so many things for a rainy day.

Tang Yan had been flipping through the script, and after reading a few more pages, she asked, "So, we will also inherit the roles we played in "Qi Jia Dao"?"

Zhou Mo nodded: "Yes, this arrangement will save a lot of space for explanation, and it will be much more convenient for you to act. What do you think?"

"That's not a problem..."

Tang Yan thought for a moment, and then said, "But in this case, Prince Fu Zhu Changxun's line should be considered a political line, and the 'Phoenix Guard' should be considered a martial arts line, right? Will the two conflict?"

"If it is the first time, there will indeed be some difficulties. But Shanhe Company has gone through the training of the new version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and the new version of "Swordsman", and has mastered a lot of experience. Basically, we can blend these two lines together." Zhou Mo expressed his gratitude to Jin Yong.

Jin Yong is an expert in combining martial arts and religious affairs.

Tang Yan was completely relieved now.

Liu Shishi, who was standing by, suddenly thought of a question and her expression changed slightly.

She immediately turned to the last few pages of the script, quickly scanned it, and muttered to herself subconsciously.

"Sure enough."

Tang Yan was curious when she saw her stunned expression.

"what happened?"

Liu Shishi replied: "Zhu Changxun really became the emperor."

Tang Yan was puzzled.

"What's so strange about this? Since the title is "I Want to Be the Emperor", Zhu Changxun will definitely become the emperor in the end."

She originally thought that Liu Shishi was a little surprised because she felt that Zhu Changxun's personality had changed too much.

On second thought, Liu Shishi even filmed a new version of "The Myth", so how could she be shocked just because the protagonist's character is different from history?

Liu Shishi understood what she meant at a glance and spoke directly.

“It’s not a change in historical roles, it’s a change in history.”

Tang Yan suddenly realized.

"You mean to say..."

Liu Shishi nodded and handed the content in her hand to Tang Yan.

What she found was content from the later period. In the plot, Zhu Changxun had already become emperor. After resolving the domestic situation, he began to deal with the enemies from the north. After some efforts, he finally succeeded in destroying this force.

The enemy in the north...

Tang Yan's expression was very subtle.

She looked at Zhou Mo, her eyes full of surprise, as if to say:
Is this content so exciting?

Zhou Mo looked at her calmly.

Yes, the content is that exciting.

Tang Yan completely understood what Zhou Mo meant. The main thing was human nature.

In this case, the next thing to consider is the issue of passing the review.

In response to this, Zhou Mo said that there was absolutely no problem.

Of course he knew that if he was going to shoot this kind of content, it would cause dissatisfaction among some people.

Among these people, some of them stay in the audit position all year round.

However, he had gotten a chance in the system many years ago.

The work will definitely be broadcast.
