Chapter 111 Golden Eagle
"What, you want to make a movie about Emperor Wu of Han?"

The next morning, in the office of Western Film and Television, Du Wei asked in surprise.

"That's right, let the screenwriter write the script first. This is a serious drama."

Hearing Zheng Jing's affirmative answer, Du Wei shook her head and said, "I think we need to discuss this matter further.

If you are making an entertaining TV series about the Han Dynasty, I will definitely support you unconditionally.

If we shoot a serious drama, the investment will be huge and the return will be uncertain. This is usually done by Yangshi, and our private film and television companies cannot afford it.

Moreover, Chen Jialin’s “Emperor Wu of Han” is still being rebroadcast on TV stations.

We are just rehashing old stuff by making a film about Emperor Wu of Han, which is a thankless task.”

Du Wei is a strong woman herself, and she was very talented when she was managing a real estate company in Changan.

Now that she has switched to the film and television industry for several months, she has gradually figured out the ropes.

What she said was correct.

Generally speaking, large-scale dramas are indeed filmed by Yangshi, and Chen Jialin's "Emperor Wu of Han" was filmed in 96, and it has only been a few years since then.

It is difficult to determine how the market response will be if another drama about Emperor Wu of Han is made.

But Zheng Jing has a role card, so this drama must be filmed.

He wanted to explain, but felt that there was no need to explain, so he said directly and firmly: "This drama must be filmed, just consider it as helping me.

Regarding investment, I have already contacted a company whose shareholders are CITIC and Huaying. "

Sure enough, after Zheng Jing said this, Du Wei no longer insisted.

She rolled her eyes at Zheng Jing and joked, "Just play as you please. Film whatever you want. How many women does the company have?
If you continue to do this, I'm afraid our Western Film and Television will go bankrupt before Tiantian grows up."

Zheng Jing patted Du Wei and said with a smile: "That's impossible."

Du Wei was spanked by Zheng Jing, her face slightly red, and she said coquettishly: "You want to die, this is the company, I am not those female stars under you, you can do whatever you want."

Then, she asked, "How much do you plan to invest in this drama about Emperor Wu of Han?"

Zheng Jing said: "It is estimated to be 5000 million. We will invest about 1000 million, and the rest will be invested by others."

Du Wei said: "The dramas that the company has invested in have not made any money yet, and there is only a portion of income from artist management.

You want to invest so much, the company's cash flow is insufficient, and we, the three shareholders, want to increase capital."

"There's no problem with increasing capital. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll let my dad help you out first."

Rexuezhanqi is developing well, and with the income from Xiaolingtong, Zheng Xingguo has no shortage of cash flow.

Du Wei glanced at Zheng Jing and said with a smile: "You underestimate me too much. I, your sister, don't count the shares and dividends of various companies. I can help you invest in Emperor Wu of Han with just my private money!"

Thinking of Jing Tian's future ambition, Zheng Jing smiled and said, "Then I'll rely on you, Sister Wei. You know, I have bad teeth."

"With your tongue and teeth, how can you say it's not good?" Du Wei blushed and complained, then said: "I'm talking about Xiying Group, I don't know if they will increase their capital.

The reforms there are not going smoothly, and the hole is quite big. Even if Lüshi Chunqiu sells well, there is not much money left. "

Zheng Jing said: "If Xiying is unwilling to increase capital, then dilute the shares. We are not doing charity."

Du Wei nodded and said, "Then I'll find someone to write the script first. What are your requirements?"

Zheng Jing said: "Actually, I want to shoot two TV series.

One is called "Beauty's Rival in Palace", also known as "The Prequel to Emperor Wu of Han", the protagonist is the biological mother of Emperor Wu of Han, Empress Xiaojing Wang Zhi;

The other one is about Emperor Wu of Han, with Liu Che as the protagonist. "

Chen Baoguo's version of Emperor Wu of Han is a very excellent historical drama, and the plot is largely restored to the history books.

But this drama also has many common problems of serious dramas - the pace is slow.

If this drama had not been broadcast on Yangshi for three consecutive rounds, it would be hard to say what the ratings would be.

After all, although this kind of drama is excellent, it is easy to be unpopular and many people really can't get into it.

For example, the Ming Dynasty 1566, not many people watched this drama.

Chen Baoguo's version of Emperor Wu of Han has a total of 58 episodes. Emperor Wu of Han does not appear in the first ten episodes, and Liu Che does not appear until the 17th episode.

In other words, what this drama has been talking about before is how Liu Che was made the crown prince.

Zheng Jing couldn't accept this pace.

On the one hand, he wants to increase the ratings of the TV series and let more people watch Emperor Wu of Han, so he has to speed up the pace;

On the other hand, he wanted to highlight the character of Liu Che and make more audiences recognize Liu Che played by him. It is impossible that Liu Che was ignored in the first nearly 20 episodes of the plot.

Therefore, it is a very good idea to divide the story of Emperor Wu of Han into two TV series.

Du Wei was surprised to hear Zheng Jing's proposal. She asked, "Wang Zhi, the mother of Emperor Wu of Han? What's so special about this person that you want to give her a separate play?"

Zheng Jing introduced: "Wang Zhao's experience is very legendary.

She was originally married to the commoner Jin Wangsun and gave birth to a daughter. Later, she was sent to the palace of Crown Prince Liu Qi by her mother. She won the crown prince's favor with her beauty and gave birth to three daughters and one son, among whom was Liu Che.

Liu Che was the tenth son of Emperor Jing of Han. According to the ancestral system, the eldest son of the legitimate wife should be appointed as the crown prince, so it was never his turn to be the crown prince.

Wang Zhi first hyped up Liu Che, saying that she had dreamed of the sun entering her belly, which left a deep impression on Emperor Jing of Han.

Then he befriended Princess Guantao Liu Piao and promised to let Liu Che marry Chen Ajiao to form a political marriage;
Later, she framed Crown Prince Liu Rong's mother, Li Ji, which led to the dethronement of Crown Prince Liu Rong.

Wang Zhi's planning was crucial to Liu Che's becoming the crown prince and even securing the throne.

A woman who had remarried and had a child dared to venture into the prince's palace and step by step rose to the position of queen and queen mother.

Wang Zhaojun's life is legendary enough to be adapted into a TV series." In fact, if you really want to film a palace drama, there are too many characters in the Han and Tang dynasties that can be filmed.

Especially in the Han Dynasty, Empress Lü set a good example and many foreign relatives gained power. These foreign relatives initially relied on the relationship between the empress and the queen mother.

These women who win the palace fights can really have power.

It's just that some old folks insisted on filming some palace fighting dramas about the Qing Dynasty, but there's really nothing to watch.

Because no matter how much you fight, you are just a slave and have no status at all.

Yu Zheng once filmed a palace fighting drama set in the Han Dynasty, Beauty's Rival in Palace, which also received high ratings.

But the protagonist was poorly chosen.

There is really nothing good to say about Empress Dowager Dou. Her success was mostly due to coincidence. Just like Liu Xiu, she was just full of luck and didn't have much planning.

But Wang Zhaojun was truly a man of extraordinary intelligence and political savvy.

Liu Che's role as crown prince involved the struggle between Wang Zhi, Princess Guantao, Empress Dowager Dou, Li Ji, and Wang Zhi's sister Wang Erzuo.

This period of history is perfect material for palace fighting drama.

Zheng Jing was too lazy to change the name, so he used the title "Beauty's Rival in Palace" to film a palace fighting drama.

This way, they can make money and promote people, taking advantage of the company's large number of female artists, and can also make it clear how Liu Che was made the crown prince.

The drama "Emperor Wu of Han" starts filming directly from the moment Liu Che ascends the throne, highlighting the conflicts within the court and between the Han and the Huns. The pace of filming is tight and it is completed within thirty episodes.

This is best.

After listening to Zheng Jing's introduction, Du Wei immediately decided: "Shoot! I like Wang Zhaojun's experience, and I must film it!"

Wang Zhaojun gave birth to a daughter and even ventured into the prince's palace. This experience reminded Du Wei of herself and she seemed to have some empathy.

Zheng Jing advised: "The script of Beauty's Rival in Palace can be written to be more entertaining, and some adaptations can be made while following the general historical context.

For example, popular unofficial histories such as "The Golden House Hidden Beauty" and "Liu Zhu" can also be incorporated.

The focus of the script is on court struggles, so the characters' personalities should be more distinct.

As for the script of Emperor Wu of Han, it should be rigorous in structure and compact in rhythm.”

Du Wei nodded and said, "OK, I will explain your request to the screenwriter."

Zheng Jing smiled and said, "Tell them to do it as soon as possible. I want to see the finished draft within a month."

West Films currently has a nine-member screenwriter team, and Zheng Jing believes in their abilities.

There is actually no shortage of good screenwriters in China.

It’s just that the screenwriter’s ideas are often not executed, and what is filmed ends up being distorted.

Especially those stupid lines, like "We are now in the seventh year of the war of resistance, and there is still one year to the end. Come on, everyone."

In fact, none of them were written by the screenwriter, but were basically changed by the actors on the scene.

But in the end, the one who has to take the blame is the screenwriter.

After chatting with Du Wei for a while, Zheng Jing left the company and drove to the suburbs by himself.

The "pet card" I drew last night has not been used yet.

According to the system's introduction, there are many kinds of pets in the pet card, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and crawling in the mud.

When you use a pet card, the specific pet you get is random.

Zheng Jing was worried that he might have encountered some strange animals that would be difficult to explain, so he made a special trip to the suburbs.

After finding a deserted place, Zheng Jing used the pet card.

After a while, a dark shadow appeared on the horizon.

A golden eagle with a wingspan of more than 2 meters landed in front of Zheng Jing.

This golden eagle is so beautiful. It stands nearly 1 meter tall, with soft and shiny feathers, bright and lively eyes, and a long beak and sharp claws that are intimidating.

Compared with ordinary golden eagles, this one is particularly majestic, with strands of golden threads interspersed in its dark brown feathers.

Give it a dark golden noble feel.

Zheng Jing was still a little nervous when he saw this bird of prey appear in front of him.

The golden eagle is known as the king of birds of prey. Wolves are on its menu. No one can withstand a bite from this bird of prey.

There was no explanation on the pet card, and when Zheng Jingzheng didn't know what to do, the golden eagle started to call out.

Ying Ying Ying! ! !
With this cry, the raptor's temperament is completely gone!

Zheng Jing didn't expect that the golden eagle, which looked so domineering, would make a chirping sound like a chick.

This cute contrast made Zheng Jing let down his guard.

He tried to stretch out his hand, but unexpectedly the golden eagle was very smart and walked over to him swayingly.

This golden eagle is even more interesting when it walks, swaying from side to side and looking very cute.

Zheng Jing stretched out his hand, first touched the golden eagle's head, and then stroked from the head to the body.

It feels smooth and warm, so comfortable.

Especially when you touch the golden eagle's belly, it feels soft and the golden eagle will whimper.

Others pet cats while I pet eagles. It feels so good!
