Chapter 265 "Datang" script and Yu Hao's Anxi Army

Seeing the beginning of this script, Yu Hao's eyes couldn't help but light up.

I already have a picture in my mind, and it is indeed more than one level better than the beginning of the original version.

I couldn't help but praise: "In terms of your ability to adapt the novel, you have to be the best."

When Liu Heping and others heard this, they breathed a long sigh of relief, and their hearts were relieved.

Although they are confident in the results of their efforts during this period, they are afraid that Yu Hao will not be satisfied.

If the buyer thinks it doesn’t work, then all the efforts are in vain.

Liu Heping let out a long breath, then scratched his head and chuckled: "As long as Director Yu is satisfied, would you like to take another look? There are a lot of surprises in it, and you shouldn't be disappointed."

Yu Hao said with interest: "Really?"

Then he looked down. Afterwards, the refugees nervously asked the military master about the situation of the Anxi Army.

The military master was silent for a while, then faced the east and said firmly: "The Anxi Army is still there, and the Western Region has not been lost. The Anxi Army has not let down the Tang Dynasty, and has not embarrassed Zhang Xunchang, Lu Duhu, General Gao, and General Guo."

The refugee said with emotion: "Yes, I think back in those days, when the Anxi Protectorate was first established, the Anxi Army was like a heavenly soldier and general in our Western Region, especially under Zhang Xunxang and Lu Protector..."

Immediately, he began to recall how the Anxi Army operated in the Western Regions.

Recall the awe of the Western Regions countries and Western merchants towards the Anxi Army, and recall how prosperous the Silk Road was under the Anxi Army.

After the memories were over, the two set off again. After passing by the teahouse, they met a group of barbarians. They put down the water on the opposite side and said, "Master, when will our soldiers from the Tang Dynasty come back?"

…………

The whole story begins in the previous battle, when the 20 white-haired troops accompanying Guo Yuanzheng wiped out 200 enemies. In the end, only Guo Yuanzheng survived and met the refugees, which officially kicked off.

Afterwards, the two set out and encountered a barbarian caravan bringing food. They encountered a black sandstorm and the horses died. They encountered a small group of troops. Guo Yuanzheng died in battle. The refugees went to Xizhou City alone. After many difficulties, they finally completed their mission.

In the song of "Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan", they put on their battle armor and headed to Qiuci City one man and one horse with an unknown future.

In 808 AD, with heavy snow falling in the sky, Tubo attacked the city. All seven thousand white-haired troops died tragically, including the vicissitudes of refugees.

At this point, the script officially ends.

After watching this week, Yu Hao frowned. Looking at the whole story, there were only a few war scenes. However, every scene was difficult to shoot and it was very difficult to shoot.

However, each of these war scenes represents a different meaning.

The first scene was a battle between a twenty-man Anxi Army squad and a small Tubo troop. In the end, only one veteran survived.

It shows the powerful combat effectiveness of the Anxi Army. The veterans will not die, but will gradually wither. At the same time, it serves as a comparison for the siege battle eighteen years later.

When Guo Xiaoke served as the governor of Anxi, the Anxi army often dispatched two to three thousand troops to fight in Yanqi and other areas. They often won battles repeatedly without losing.

Here, the deterrent power of the Tang Dynasty at its peak is demonstrated. The smoothness of the Silk Road was based on strong national power and military capabilities.

The largest drama was also the pinnacle of the Anxi Army. In the second year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Xiaosong led more than 10,000 elite troops on a long-distance attack, advancing thousands of miles to assist the original ruler in restoring his country.

Then, Zhang Xiaosong spread the word to various countries in the Western Regions. Some countries, such as Tubo and Dashi, were intimidated by the power of the Anxi Army and did not dare to compete with the Anxi Army. The Anxi Army's military power was greatly shocked.

Subsequently, the Anxi Army, under the leadership of Gao Xianzhi and other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, captured Xiaobolu and other countries. The momentum of the Anxi Army also reached its peak at this time.

This scene not only proved the pinnacle of the Anxi Army, but also proved the pinnacle of the Tang Dynasty's economic and military strength.

It was also an important turning point. The Anshi Rebellion broke out, and most of the elite Anxi Army was transferred back. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left in the Anxi Army.

A scene in which Hexi was occupied by Tibet. From then on, the Anxi Army was completely isolated and helpless, and Datang officially lost the Hexi Corridor.

Guo Xin and Li Yuanzhong's request for help only moved the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty inexplicably. Due to internal worries, there was no reinforcement at all, and only the Anxi Army was left to guard the Western Regions.

There was a shortage of food, grass and equipment, and follow-up soldiers were even more scarce. Since then, the Anxi Army has also had local soldiers.

A scene in which Guo Xin and Yang Xigu cooperated to repel the Tibetan coalition forces. The two sides were isolated and helpless and could only rely on each other.

A scene in which Beiting Protectorate fell and Yang Xigu died in battle with 7,000 Beiting troops. From then on, the Anxi army only had one Qiuci city left.

One was an encounter between Guo Yuanzheng and the scout team. It was also in this battle that the veteran died, and the refugees went to Xizhou to transfer money on the veteran's behalf.

The last scene was the scene where Guo Xin died in battle with the white-haired army all over the city, Qiuci City fell, and all four towns in Anxi lost contact.

There were eight war scenes in total, but Yu Hao's eyes turned red while watching every scene.

A bunch of ancient poems have appeared in my mind. Thinking of this, I can't help but pick up my pen and add them.

Far above the Yellow River, among the white clouds, there is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain. Why does the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass.

…………

The snow-capped mountains are covered with long clouds in Qinghai, and the isolated city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance. Gold wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken.

…………

When Yu Hao finished writing, Liu Heping's eyes lit up after reading it.

He murmured: "In this way, this story becomes more charming, but can foreigners understand this feeling?"

Yu Hao shook his head and smiled: "The film is made for them to see, because we want to win awards, and it is also made for ourselves to see. There are some things that only we Chinese can understand. Here..."

Afterwards, after asking them to think about it some more, Yu Hao printed out a copy of the script and went out to look for actors.

The main actors are as follows: veteran Guo Yuanzheng, refugee Lu Shishi, iron-blooded prince Guo Xin, the last protector of Beiting Yang Xigu, censor Zhang Xiaosong, and protector of Anxi Lu Xiujing.

But he was not in a hurry. After returning to the office, he found Xu Qing, Sun Cheng, and Zhang Chu to discuss the suitable candidates for these actors.

Yu Hao said to several people: "The script is finalized, and now we have to recruit actors.

The main actors are: veteran Guo Yuanzheng, refugee Lu Shishi, iron-blooded prince Guo Xin, the last protector of Beiting Yang Xigu, censor Zhang Xiaosong, and protector of Anxi Lu Xiujing. Are you thinking about it, are there any suitable candidates? "

Xu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "I still don't recommend it. I don't know much about this history, and I don't know who to recommend. But you shouldn't choose actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, right? They probably know less than me." Yu Hao scratched his head and said: "No, but I don't know what to choose now. But one thing is that my acting skills must not be bad."

Sun Cheng frowned and asked, "Director Yu, do you have any age requirements for these people?"

Yu Hao thought for a while and said: "In terms of age, Lu Shisi, Zhang Xiaosong, and Lu Xiujing are about thirty years old, Guo Yuanzheng and Yang Xigu are older, and Guo Xin will be photographed from middle age to old age.

However, the acting skills must be good. Except for Zhang Xiaosong, several others have immediate fighting scenes, and they must have a certain foundation in kung fu. It is best to be someone who has played a general before. Guo Yuanzheng and Lu Shishi are considered to be the protagonists next year. "

Several people sat in their seats and racked their brains.

Not long after, Zhang Jin suddenly said: "Director Yu, can Guo Yuanzheng be played by Lu Shuming? His Guan Yu is very impressive. Considering his age, he is over forty. It is not a big problem to play this role, right? ?”

Yu Hao thought for a moment and said, "You can give it a try and you can recommend it."

Xu Qing rubbed her chin and said, "Zhao Wenzhuo can try out the role of Lu Shishi. He is from the mainland and has good acting skills. I heard he is also a Wuying-level athlete."

Sun Cheng recommended: "You can give Kaohsiung a try with Yang Xigu. This old man's acting skills are quite good and he is quite suitable for this kind of role."

Yu Hao thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed possible. I'll contact you later. As for Guo Xin, let Hu Jun try it. This is a drama actor with good acting skills and is quite suitable."

Hu Jun's roles such as Qiao Feng, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Xu Xiao are all quite good, and they are more suitable for this kind of role.

Sun Cheng thought for a while and said: "Hu Jun is indeed capable, he looks very handsome, and his age is suitable. The role of Lu Xiujing is a civil servant. We can let Chen Daoming try it out, and he happens to be from our company.

In the end, only Zhang Xiaosong was left. This was also an iron-blooded general with great military exploits. For a while, I didn't think of a suitable person. "

They are still very familiar with Hu Jun, a person from Beijing Film Studio.

Xu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up and she said enthusiastically: "Junior brother, what do you think of the Erlang Shen in Director Yang's "Journey to the West"? His acting skills and appearance should be more suitable, right?"

Yu Hao's eyes lit up and he said with great interest: "It's indeed possible. In addition, we can let him work part-time as a martial arts instructor, but is it okay to hire someone?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Let's go find Director Yang and ask her to help contact her. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Zhang Jinjin said worriedly: "Director Yu, others are more suitable, but can Hu Jun do it? Although he is not the male protagonist of this drama, in terms of importance, he is much more important than these two male protagonists."

Yu Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "Now that the person is here, just give him some training. The actor's acting skills will have the effect the director wants."

Sun Cheng smiled and said: "Indeed, by the way, there must be a few more important Tibetan generals, and their appearance should be more evil."

Yu Hao laughed and said: "Villain actors are easy to find. Ji Chunhua, Du Yuming, Li Ming, Xu Shaoqiang, you can all come over and give them a try. They also happen to have extraterrestrial flair."

Then he patted his head and remembered Hai Yitian, the actor who played Damao, and said with a smile: "There is another actor - Hai Yitian. This one is also quite suitable."

After listening to this, Sun Cheng gave a thumbs up and said: "Except for Hai Yitian, I don't know, but the others are indeed suitable to play the villains, especially this kind of Tubo general."

After chatting for a while, Yu Hao said to everyone: "I'm going to contact these actors, and you should also prepare. Calculate the time, and it's probably time for us to set off after the National Day. You can pack up."

Everyone nodded and said, "Okay."

No one has ever considered whether these people would refuse. After all, this is Yu Hao's movie. Only if you have a bad brain will you refuse?

Yu Hao also inquired about the phone numbers of several people from various sources, and called Zhao Wenzhuo first: "Hello, I am Yu Hao, I am looking for Zhao Wenzhuo."

The person on the other end was stunned for a moment, then laughed in Cantonese and said: "I also said that I am Cameron. What kind of status does Director Yu have that he would go to Zhao Wenzhuo? Don't be kidding me."

Yu Hao said in a dumbfounded voice: "I am really Yu Hao. Why don't you call Zhao Wenzhuo first? I have a suitable role here and I need him to play it. Let's see if he has any schedule."

The person on the other side was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Okay, I'll ask you."

Not long after, a steady voice came from the other side: "Hello, I am Zhao Wenzhuo."

Yu Hao smiled and said: "I'm Yu Hao. I'm preparing a new movie recently. There is a male protagonist in it who is very suitable for you. He needs a certain foundation in kung fu. You happen to be a Wuying-level athlete. Are you interested in giving it a try?"

Zhao Wenzhuo frowned and asked, "Are you really Director Yu? It's impossible, right? I can't find anyone for Director Yu's film, so you need me?"

Yu Hao said helplessly: "If you don't believe it, you can contact our company. I will wait for you for up to three days."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Zhao Wenzhuo stared at the phone suspiciously and asked in surprise: "Director Yu is really looking for me?"

The agent thought for a moment and said, "How about calling Sugon Company and asking? It won't cost much anyway."

Then he contacted Hu Jun, and his reaction when he heard Yu Hao's call was similar to Zhao Wenzhuo's.

Afterwards, Yu Hao contacted other people one by one, and there was no doubt that no one refused.

On September 1999, 9, Yu Hao looked at the people on both sides of the conference room of Shuguang Company and said to several people: "The actors are all here and the script has been reviewed. After the National Day, we will go to Dunhuang.

The film will take at least a month to shoot. You have arranged the time well and the script is familiar to me. I don’t want any problems to arise. Is there any problem? "

Everyone shouted in unison: "No problem."

Several actors for this drama have been confirmed:

Guo Yuanzheng - Lu Shuming, Lu Shishi - Zhao Wenzhuo, Guo Xin - Hu Jun, Yang Xigu - Kaohsiung, supervisory censor Zhang Xiaosong - Lin Zhiqian, Anxi Governor Lu Xiujing - Chen Daoming

Tubo generals: Ji Chunhua, Du Yuming, Li Ming, Xu Shaoqiang, Hai Yitian.

After chatting about some details, everyone went back to their homes.

Yu Hao is urgently urging the progress of Fu Huadao, and that's all the crew lacks.

That night, after making out with Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan asked with a look of reluctance: "Brother, how many days will you be away this time? Can I go with you?"

Yu Hao touched her dog's head and said, "Farewell, I'm afraid I'll tan you and finally turn white. If you tan again, won't I cry to death?"

Gao Yuanyuan punched Yu Hao angrily, and then said helplessly: "Will Senior Sister Xu also come with you this time?"

Yu Hao nodded and said: "Yes, she still has to be responsible for the production of the crew for me. This time is not like the previous small fight and left it to others. I don't worry. This time I plan to let Xu Qing and Zhang Li Take responsibility together.”

Gao Yuanyuan curled her lips and said, "Actually, I can do it too. If not, I can learn it myself."

Yu Hao chuckled and said: "You are also helping me. You are responsible for my rear area. This is no less help than the help that my senior sister gives me. Have you become familiar with the work of the magazine company recently?"

Gao Yuanyuan frowned and said, "I'm familiar with it, but there are still many problems."
