Although it is certainly impossible to attract all the audiences of "An Jia", even if we can only attract half of them, it will be a huge success.

Da Mimi is also well aware of this.

So Da Mimi entertained Director Wei with great ceremony.

"Thank you Director Wei for supporting our film 'Usurping the Qing Dynasty'."

It wasn't just Da Mimi who was present.

And the entire creative crew of "Usurping the Qing Dynasty".

Even director Lu Yang was there.

This was Director Wei's initiative. The premiere of "Usurping the Qing Dynasty" was definitely the most popular.

Then Director Wei suggested that they hold a premiere event for the crew of "Usurping the Qing Dynasty".

The entire crew started a live broadcast and watched "The Usurping of Qing Dynasty" with netizens.

At the same time, answer some of the audience's questions and interact with the audience in a timely manner.

The main purpose is to increase the popularity of "Usurping the Qing Dynasty".

Of course, it can also attract traffic to Station A.

Station A gave unexpected support to "The Usurping of Qing Dynasty", so although this requirement was not stipulated in the contract, the main creators still promoted "The Usurping of Qing Dynasty" enthusiastically.

After all, the drama became popular and they benefited the most.

Director Wei said calmly, "Don't thank me. If 'Usurping the Qing Dynasty' really becomes a hit, it will be good for you, good for me, and even good for the entire Chinese film and television industry.

This is an expansion of the subject matter, and I really hope that "Usurping the Qing Dynasty" will be a big hit.

Of course, I feel a little sorry for Zhang Zhen."

Director Wei greeted Zhang Zhen and apologized, "Brother Zhen, you were originally the lead actor in the 'Assassin's Spring Blade' series, but almost all the main actors from 'Assassin's Spring Blade' were copied to film 'Usurping the Qing Dynasty', but you were only given a supporting role. This is my fault.

It was also me who suggested to Director Lu that Zhang Yi play the leading male role in "Usurping the Qing Dynasty".

Brother Zhen, it's understandable that you're dissatisfied, but don't misunderstand Mimi and Director Lu. "The 'Asian Blade' series was indeed starred by Zhang Zhen, and his role as Shen Lian was also loved by many audiences.

However, the protagonist of "Usurping the Qing Dynasty" is not Shen Lian, although he is also a Jinyiwei. The protagonist of "Usurping the Qing Dynasty" is Lu Wenzhao played by Zhang Yi.

Shen Lian's boss.

He is also Shen Lian’s elder brother.

In "Crown Embroidered Spring Blade: Shura Battlefield", Lu Wenzhao is a very tragic character.

He was a man of Prince Xin Zhu Youjian.

That is, the confidant of the future Emperor Chongzhen.

A hero who survived the battlefield.

It was determined that Prince Xin Zhu Youjian was the leader of the Ming Dynasty's revival.

Many civil officials were also deceived into believing that the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian was the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's decline.

Just eradicate the eunuch party.

If we support Prince Xin to ascend the throne, the Ming Dynasty will have hope.

Therefore, Lu Wenxian was entrusted by Prince Xin Zhu Youjian to be an undercover agent beside Wei Zhongxian.

The ending is that the cunning rabbit dies.

The running dog will be cooked.

Prince Xin Zhu Youjian crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

He sent someone to kill Lu Wenzhao.

A complete tragedy.

The quality of the "Rabbit Embroidered Spring Blade" series is actually quite good. In Director Wei's eyes, it is a rare film that wins by quality and also has depth.

Director Da Wei has always believed that the box office of the "Asian Blade" series is unlikely to be too high.

Because the ending is predetermined.

Late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty.

History is there, and such a subject can only be filmed as a tragedy.

The better the photo.

The more helpless and aggrieved the audience will feel.

So the "Blade of the Assassin" series is well-made, with depth and quality, and can make the audience empathize, but it is too depressing overall.

Audiences go to the cinema and spend money.

Are you going to be abused?

The conflict between this core setting and the box office potential means that the box office of the "Assassin Spring Blade" series is destined to be limited.

The quality and depth of "The Usurping of Qing Dynasty" are definitely far inferior to "The Sword of the Assassin".

But in Director Wei's opinion, "The Qing Dynasty" has a greater chance of success than "The Sword Identity".

Because the script of "Usurping the Qing Dynasty" is written like this: Jinyiwei Captain Lu Wenzhao, whose soul is transported back to before the plot of "Qu Xiuchun Dao: Shura Battlefield" by Lu Wenzhao from the 21st century, has not yet happened.

At this time, Lu Wenzhao had already established contact with Prince Xin Zhu Youjian, but had not yet lurked undercover beside Wei Zhongxian.

There was a fierce struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party within the Ming Dynasty, and the Jiannu Party was eyeing the Ming Dynasty covetously from outside.

King Chuang has also announced an uprising.

Troubled times are coming.

What kind of changes will Lu Wenzhao, whose soul is possessed by the 21st century, bring to this era?

This idea was given by Director Wei.

In this way, "The Usurping of Qing" can also promote "The Sword of Assassination: Shura Battlefield" in reverse.

In addition, the actors of "The Sword Identity I: Shura Battlefield" can be perfectly copied over, which saves a lot of trouble.

Moreover, even if you haven't watched "The Sword Identity I: Shura Battlefield", it will not affect your viewing of "The Usurpation of Qing Dynasty".

Because this setting is simple and easy to understand.

It is clearly explained at the beginning that the protagonist is Lu Wenzhao, whose soul has been transported and attached to the future Emperor Chongzhen. In his previous life, he was killed by Zhu Youjian.

In this way, the contradictions, conflicts, and main lines are self-evident.

The audience's expectations were also maxed out.

From the perspective of the plot setting, choosing Lu Wenzhao's soul to travel through time and space is actually more appropriate than choosing Shen Lian's soul to travel through time and space, because Shen Lian's status is lower and it is more difficult for him to be connected with the power center of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the actors, Director Wei also prefers Zhang Yi to play the male lead rather than Zhang Zhen.

Director Wei has no problem with Zhang Zhen, but he really can't carry the show.

If there are still a few capable Hong Kong actors, then all the actors from Taiwan are really just hyped up.

The reality is that no one can compete in terms of performance.

Zhang Zhen has good acting skills and a good reputation.

But when Zhang Yi and Zhang Zhen were put together, Director Wei couldn't convince himself to choose Zhang Zhen.

He is not from Taiwan, so he has no special filter for Zhang Zhen.

In terms of performance, audience appeal and even popularity, this choice is easy to make.

In this world, Zhang Yi also filmed Director Wei's TV series "Beijing Love Story". It is illogical for Director Wei to not trust Zhang Yi but Zhang Zhen, who has never proven himself in the TV circle, when it comes to carrying the show.

of course.

This is indeed a bit disrespectful to Zhang Zhen.

After all, "The Usurping Qing Dynasty" uses the original crew of "The Sword Identity I: Shura Battlefield".

Director Wei has no prejudice against Zhang Zhen, so he made a special explanation.

Of course, Zhang Zhen was also very dissatisfied in his heart.

This is normal.

Director Wei expressed his understanding.

Director Wei would also feel uncomfortable if he encountered such a thing.

However, Zhang Zhen didn't dare to really lose his temper, and just smiled bitterly and said, "As long as Director Wei has no opinion on me, that's good."

"Of course not, in my opinion, Brother Zhen is an excellent representative of Taiwanese male actors.

Calm, down-to-earth, and with excellent acting skills."

Director Wei smiled and said, "I've let Brother Zhen down this time, but I'll make it up to him later.

Our company will shoot a new movie in a while.

The director has already contacted Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige.

When the time comes, Brother Zhen will come for an audition. There are three male leads, and I think Brother Zhen will get one."

Zhang Zhen's eyes lit up instantly.

the film.

Director Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige.

male protagonist.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Zhang Zhen instantly put aside all his dissatisfaction with Director Wei.

What remains is gratitude to Director Wei.

"Director Wei, thank you so much."

Zhang Zhen expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

In his eyes, the pie that Director Wei just gave was far bigger than the male lead in "Qu Cang Qing".

In fact, it is not necessarily the case.

Because if "The Usurping of Qing Dynasty" becomes popular, the popularity it brings is difficult for any movie to match.

However, Director Wei knows that for 99% of actors, movies are more important than TV series.

So the compensation he gave was definitely enough.

Of course, what Director Wei was talking about was "Life in Mask" for Da Tiantian.

The reason for inviting Zhang Zhen to audition was something Director Wei suddenly thought of just now.

There is no doubt that the subject matter of "Masquerade" is also somewhat sensitive.

How can we prevent these films with sensitive themes from being suppressed and targeted by the authorities?

Director Wei came up with a very effective method: use actors from Taiwan who have no inappropriate words or deeds!

Use magic to defeat magic.

Defeat privilege with privilege.

what?

Are you saying that people from Taiwan have no privileges in the mainland?

Director Wei said you are right.

In our Qing Dynasty, everyone is equal and no one has privileges.

That's it.

In short.

Zhang Zhen’s problem was solved perfectly.

Director Wei also greeted other acquaintances such as Zhang Yi and Xin Zhilei, and then watched "The Usurping of Qing Dynasty" with them.

Regarding the play "Usurping the Qing Dynasty".

He just contributed his own ideas and the main storyline, and did not participate in the subsequent events.
