Chapter 102 Saving "Legend of Chu and Han"

A person has as much temper as he has talent, at least Wang Hailin thinks he is a very talented person, if Gu Zhongyu is not sitting across from him, maybe he can still gossip on the spot!
However, Gu Zhongyu did not answer his question, but asked him first: "From the end of Han Dynasty to the unification of the Three Kingdoms, how many years have you experienced?"

"Less than 100 years." Gao Xixi answered this question, he only remembered an approximate time.

"It's been 96 years from the Yellow Turban Uprising to Sun Hao's surrender. Director Gao, how many episodes of your "New Three Kingdoms" have you filmed?"

"95 episodes."

"So how many years did it take from the death of Qin Shihuang to the end of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony and the establishment of the Han Dynasty?"

"Qin was destroyed in three years, Chu was destroyed in five years, eight years." Wang Hailin still didn't understand what Gu Zhongyu was trying to express.

Gu Zhongyu smiled: "Then how many episodes are you going to film in this script?"

Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin also suddenly realized at this time, they filmed 96 episodes of the 95-year-old Three Kingdoms, and now they filmed 8 episodes of the only 80-year-old Chu-Han Hegemony, which is disgusting because the plot rhythm is too slow!

While flipping through the script, Gu Zhongyu pointed out the problem: "The love line between Princess Chenxi and Zhang Han is inexplicable, and completely removing it will not affect the main plot. In addition, Qin Ershi, Zhao Gao, and a few confidante friends like Han Xin and Liu Bang, these The roles of the characters have to be greatly reduced, 80 episodes is too long, you need to cut it to at least 60 episodes!
"The ending was too hasty. Except for Han Xin's confession that he was killed by Empress Lu, others like Ying Bu and Peng Yue didn't even have a line. This is the end of the Chu-Han War. You have to explain it clearly to the audience anyway."

Gao Xixi was a little troubled: "It's easy to say other things, the actress of Princess Dawn is a friend of ours, please..."

"Related households are related households! Then you can go to the actor who played Princess Chenxi and ask her if she can pay the 8000 million. I don't care, the money is not wasted!"

Domestic TV dramas always have this kind of relationship, and they force their way in to add dramas. Although this is normal in a humane society, the key is to take a pee and look in the mirror to see what your conditions are!

In the past, there was the yellow-haired Zheng Shengli in "In the Name of the People", the assistant director who added scenes to himself, everyone fast-forwarded as soon as his role was played, and he could lower the rating of the TV series by at least 1.5 on his own.

Later, there was Gao Xiaochen, the son of Gao Qiqiang who played the stupid but not stupefied role in "Hurricane". Wu Gang, the secretary of Dakang, really gave up his old face in order to praise his son, and the family of three joined the battle.

After pondering for a while, Gao Xixi still agreed to the condition, at worst, he would arrange for the actress in the next play.

"The actor playing Yu Ji should be replaced by Bai Bin, an artist from our company. You can audition first. If it doesn't work, come to me later."

Bai Bin officially joined Zongheng some time ago, but the company has never had a suitable role for her. This time, the overwhelmed Concubine Yu in "Legend of Chu and Han" is perfect for her.

"Mr. Gu, Li Yixiao has already entered the group and started filming, and her acting skills are still very good, so there is no need to replace her?" Gao Xixi wanted to fight for it again.

Gu Zhongyu didn't speak, and looked at him playfully with his arms crossed.

Gao Xixi felt a little embarrassed. He guessed that Gu Zhongyu should know that Li Yixiao was his lover. Hey, after all, a lover is not as important as a career!I'm sorry, Yi Xiao, I had to replace you.

I really don't understand Gao Xixi's picky vision. It's fine to choose an actor who likes to use crooked melons and dates, but it's not good to find a lover.

That Li Yixiao had a high-tech look, but Gao Xixi insisted on promoting her as the heroine in several dramas in a row. In the end, the TV series failed, and they kicked him, so he turned around and went with Yin Xiaotian.

"Mr. Gu, did Mr. Sun Haiying have a feud with you? Why did you replace him?"

As the producer, Zhao Hongmei was puzzled. Sun Haiying is also a first-class actor in the country. The starring role in "The Years of Burning Passion" is regarded as a classic by countless people. Fan Zeng should be played by hand. Why change him?
"It's very simple, because his butt is crooked. Don't make the whole drama be taken off the shelves because of what he did alone!"

Only Gu Zhongyu from later generations knows how wonderful this Sun Haiying is. He and his wife Lu Liping are a match made in heaven!

Sun Haiying often makes strange remarks in a serious manner, such as what the Chinese civilization was nurtured by Christianity, what the great Tang dynasty came from the introduction of Christianity, what the battle songs of the proletarians are praising God, you laugh at him as a fool and he thinks you are not enlightened, he really believes in these No doubt.

His wife, Lu Liping, is even more naughty. She probably has extreme thinking combined with menopausal syndrome. She strongly opposes everything that does not conform to the Bible, such as premarital sex, free love, abortion, divorce, and even condoms. Big sister You have been divorced and married 3 times, and you have no clue?

Because of the couple's unbelievable remarks, everyone in the country soon shouted and beat them, and then the two went to the other side of the ocean.

If this kind of person is not driven away immediately, what is there to do with it!
Zhao Hongmei had a question mark on her face. She really didn't know why Sun Haiying's butt was crooked. The Internet is not very developed these days, so his strange quotations have not yet spread.

Gao Xixi had heard some rumors about Sun Haiying, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, the current public opinion environment is controlled by various public figures, and it will be a few years before the Internet trend starts to turn positive.

But seeing Gu Zhongyu's serious attitude, he also had to think about it. Anyway, he is not the protagonist, so changing Fan Zeng's role will not affect anything.

Several people chatted about the details of the investment later. Although Gu Zhongyu had many conditions, there was still room for discussion. Gao Xixi would report his request to the company. As long as there was no problem with the higher-ups, everything would be fine for him to direct.

Since the crew's filming in Xiangshan could not be delayed, Gao Xixi left after dinner. He asked Wang Hailin to revise the script before showing it to Gu Zhongyu.

"Mr. Gu, you are so proud! You ate 8000 million yuan in one meal! Are you afraid that their TV series will lose their money?" Cao Dun saw that Gu Zhongyu agreed to invest in this way, and felt that the money in his bag was too good took.

"When the money is gone, just earn it. Now there are fewer and fewer historical dramas. If you can save one, it's one! I don't want to see all the short-lived romance dramas on the TV screen in the future."

In all fairness, Gu Zhongyu doesn't like any ancient historical drama directed by Gao Xixi, but he also doesn't want the drama "Legend of Chu and Han" to fall into the sand, otherwise, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the historical drama!
Even if the plot of the original version of "Legend of Chu and Han" is relatively procrastinated and the rhythm is a bit slow, it is still acceptable compared to other soap operas. With a strong lineup and high-level production, it has the potential to be a drama king.

Now I am improving the plot and rhythm, not to mention that it can be a big hit, at least it will not be as difficult as it was in the previous life, and it can be regarded as a booster for historical dramas, so that this theme will not suddenly Sudden death!
