Chapter 485: Gongdou Team Battle MVP - Zhen Huan (Happy New Year)
For the "Qin Empire" series, Zuo Le has great ambitions. He wants to create a classic historical film and television masterpiece that can be circulated for a long time.
In fact, making a historical drama is an idea Zuo Le has had for a long time. No director can refuse the temptation of thousands of years of Chinese history.
A strong warrior and a wise king.
A talented man and a beautiful woman, with clever plans and good plans.
By intercepting a part of time events at will, you can create countless wonderful stories. This is the wealth left by the ancestors, and it is a golden finger that is even more powerful than Zuo Le's golden finger.
However, as I have said before, it is difficult to film historical dramas, or in other words, it is difficult to film high-quality historical dramas.
Line design, plot sorting, various large and small scenes, set architecture, costumes, props in line with the times...
Today's audiences are not as confused as in the past. When actors put their hair in a bun, they look like ancient people. Who cares whether the TV series is set in the Qin, Han, Jin, or the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties.
Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, countless big names have emerged among the people who love studying history, and their relevant knowledge is very broad.
With one hat, they can produce a paper with hundreds of thousands of words - "From Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Republic of China - The Development History of Hats".
You can just film a costume drama, but if you dare to call it a historical drama, there will be a large group of historical experts and enthusiasts with magnifying glasses to help you correct your mistakes.
Alas, this is wrong. The normal uniform for women in the Han Dynasty should be bala bala.
Alas, there is something wrong with this armor, but according to "History of the Tang Dynasty: XXX", the mountain armor of the Tang Dynasty was called Balabala.
Alas, that's not how the battles were done in the Song Dynasty. The formation was wrong, and it had to be blah blah blah.
Alas...
How should I put it? If you say this without taking the opportunity to show your thoughts, it is definitely unrealistic.
But they do have good intentions. They not only remind the crew, but also popularize science to the audience who don’t understand. To a certain extent, it can also be regarded as promoting ancient Chinese history and culture.
Moreover, people are not just casually popularizing science. The more attentive the crew is, the more attentive they are to find faults.
On the contrary, those TV dramas that pretend to be historical, but are just perfunctory and bad movies, are ignored by people and even typing is tiring.
Zuo Le doesn't hate this kind of audience. He is even one of them. When he sees some historical loopholes in the TV series, he can't help but want to complain.
But then again, just because he doesn't hate this kind of audience doesn't mean he doesn't understand how difficult and serious these audiences are.
As long as Shanhe wants to make a historical drama, it will have to "war" with these audiences sooner or later, and Zuo Le has been prepared for this.
Therefore, Zuo Le has been continuously polishing the script of "Empire of Qin" and at the same time investing in the construction of the Warring States Film and Television City at the Changqing base.
To this end, he also contacted a group of historical scholars of the Warring States and Qin Dynasties through his father-in-law Lao Tian to provide guidance on script writing and the construction of the Warring States Film and Television City.
In addition, Zuo Le also specially found several experts to restore some costumes and props from the Warring States and Qin Dynasty. Currently, there are thousands of manuscripts.
Once the project is completed, these manuscripts will be immediately prepared for production and used by the crew for filming.
Zuo Le has accomplished these things with his own resources. Now that he is cooperating with CCTV, he needs to use CCTV's channels to further optimize and supplement these things.
CCTV’s connections are no joke.
The top domestic scholars on the history of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the Warring States Period easily earned the title of "Special Consultant" in the "Qin Empire" series.
The costume and props team can even directly go to the National and Qin Provincial Museums to conduct on-site inspections of the unearthed cultural relics, and it is not impossible to call in a few big guys to provide guidance.
More importantly, from the beginning of Zuo Le's career, he was particularly envious of the older generation of directors who could command troops to act as extras in a war drama.
It’s really not about making a big spectacle for anyone, and it’s not impossible to spend money like this, but the ancient soldiers played by the troupe and the soldiers played by the serious people’s soldiers are completely different things.
The soldier's character brings with him high morale and spirit. Even if he were paid 500 yuan a day to act as an extra, he wouldn't be able to achieve this kind of momentum.
Nowadays, the military is very strict about military acting. They can only be hired for national-level tasks.
Other production crews, including CCTV and Liao Liao, who have very good hands and eyes, can request the military's cooperation on a large scale.
Provincial stations like Dongshan Station are not impossible. For example, Lao Fang is eligible to ask the Quancheng Military Region for help, but the number of people who can be mobilized is limited, and the application procedures and time requirements are very complicated.
After thinking about it carefully, it would be more cost-effective to spend more money and hire extras...
In contrast, CCTV, as a national-level unit, has a stronger scope of authority and can meet Zuo Le's requirements.
To be honest, based on this alone, Zuo Le feels that this cooperation with CCTV is very worthwhile, and at the same time, this will also become an important selling point of the "Qin Empire" series.
………
It has been decided that Shanhe will cooperate with CCTV on "The Great Qin Empire", but there are still many small terms that need to be verified and discussed.
Moreover, there is still a lot of preliminary work that needs to be prepared. It is expected that the start time of the first "Fission" will not be until next year.
Deputy Director Hua stayed on the set of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" for nearly two weeks. It was not until the two parties signed the contract and the cooperation was fully concluded that he left to return to the capital.
After the people from CCTV left, Zuo Le focused his energy on "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Changqing base, a main hall of the film and television city
Zuo Le wears a white jade crown, a bright yellow five-claw rolling dragon robe, and a short beard. Overall, he looks older than in reality.
According to the setting of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the emperor Qianyuan, played by Zuo Le, reigned for twelve years and was nearly forty years old when he appeared, in his prime.
Of course, as the plot progresses in the later stages, the age of the characters will also change, but they will generally be younger than the original version.
The male protagonist of the Shanhe version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the emperor, had many similarities with Yong Zheng in his character design because Zuo Le had originally scraped the script and read the original version several times.
Of course, this is just Yongzheng in the play.
In history, the victor of Kowloon's inheritance was not likely to be cuckolded by his concubine and then angry to death. Moreover, he was known as a workaholic, and he may not have the time to fall in love.
Therefore, the emperor in the Shanhe version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has a gloomy mind, a cold personality, ruthless attacks, and a lust for sex.
Although he has certain political skills, he is not a so-called wise king.
In most palace dramas, the role of the emperor has strong instrumental attributes, and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is not immune to this, but at the same time it maintains the charm and complexity of the role of the emperor.
Several important characters all have important scenes with him as the male protagonist. Even in their key turning points, the emperor is very involved, which has broken away from the category of tool man.
If Zhen Huan is the first protagonist in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", then the role of the emperor ranks second.
In a sense, the emperor also has the responsibility of guarding the final boss. After all, Zhen Huan killed him to truly reach the end.
The title of the palace fighting champion is the Queen Mother. If the emperor is not dead, how can he be considered the champion this time...
It is rare to be the male lead. Zuo Le takes this role very seriously and takes some time every day to figure out the character. He also seeks advice from several TV stars, movie stars and movie stars that he knows.
Zuo Le wrote 30,000 words just to record his own analysis of the character biography of the emperor. It was the role for which he had prepared the most and was the most serious since he started acting.
And because of this role, Zuo Le rarely felt the tension of acting again, which was not common in his acting career.
First of all, most of the roles played by Zuo Le are supporting roles or guest appearances, with not many roles and little pressure.
Secondly, most of Zuo Le's roles were in crews where he was the director, or in crews directed by his company, so he was not afraid of making mistakes at all, and naturally there was no need to talk about being nervous.
To put it into perspective, except for the two-part series "Underground Traffic Station" when they first debuted, Zuo Le would only feel nervous in a few dramas such as "Magic Phone" where he played important roles.
As Zuo Le gained more and more experience in acting, he became more and more confident, and his nervousness during acting became less and less, until it almost completely disappeared.
For example, in the previous filming of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Zuo Le's role was not small, but during the filming stage, he performed the role with almost no mood swings.
In terms of mentality, Zuo Le is already considered a seasoned actor, and he can handle almost every scene easily.
But this time when filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Zuo Le's mentality was a little bit stretched...
………
First of all, of course, the role in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is particularly important, which put a certain amount of mental pressure on Zuo Le.
After all, this is his first time choosing a male lead, so it’s hard not to change his mentality.
Secondly, and most importantly.
The ladies on the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are so difficult...
There are only four important male characters in the play. Doctor Wen played by Zhang Ze and King Nanjun played by Cen Kun. Most of the scenes are focused on the heroine Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and other characters.
Jiang Zhong, the chief eunuch, mainly plays the role of the heroine in addition to the emperor. Therefore, the only male character who really has contact with most of the female characters is the emperor.
Zuo Le was originally the male lead + director, and had a high sense of presence on the set. Now coupled with the special nature of the male lead role, he suddenly became a man admired by many stars.
It's nice to be noticed by a woman.
It feels so good to be noticed by two women.
Being noticed by a group of women makes me die.
Just imagine, when you are filming, a group of female artists are watching around you, and from time to time they collectively make a fuss.
The ordinary scenes are okay, but some of the ambiguous emotional scenes are simply executions in public...
The famous movie queen Zhou Gongzi was also filming at the Changqing base during this time. Because he knew Shui Miaomiao and the actor who played An Lingrong, he came to visit the cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" twice.
When I got back, I praised Zuo Le to my crew for how well he performed, and how he vividly portrayed the impatience of an emperor surrounded by a group of women.
Zuo Le: "..."
You are stared at like a monkey by a group of female artists every day, so you must be a better actor than me.
Because of this incident, Zuo Le and Lin Yongjian, who plays the role of the eunuch in charge, have a particularly good relationship recently.
This was the only person on the set who gave Zuo Le "manly support". Things are rare and precious. After seeing too many beautiful female stars, Zuo Le felt that Lin Yongjian's breasts were particularly kind.
Before, landlady Tian Yan was worried that Zuo Le would have lifestyle problems if he was with so many beauties every day, but after being stationed on the set for half a week, she put her mind to it.
Dozens of female artists were in the same crew, and there was palace fighting on the set, and it was even more lively off the set.
Don't say that Zuo Le himself doesn't have a treacherous heart or courage. Even if he does, there are so many pairs of eyes staring up and down. If he dares to move, he will be warned by Miao Dao the next day.
It is no exaggeration to say that countless people reported Zuo Le's every move on the set of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to Tian Yan.
Some of them were arranged by her own spy agents, some of them spontaneously expressed their kindness to the boss's wife, and some of them took the opportunity to try to get a hand on her opponent. Zuo Le was forced to experience the level of safety and security of an international political figure.
It can be expected that after the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is completed, Boss Tian's group of girlfriends will be supplemented by a large number of newcomers.
Zuo Le had long forgotten about the emperor's dream of having a harem of three thousand. His only thought was to stay away from these girls.
All these years of expectation and longing have been wrongly paid!!!
………
The scene filmed today was a routine quarrel in the harem. The process probably involved someone framing Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan had already prepared for it and called a group of teammates to start a group fight.
At the beginning, the two sides exchanged words. The other side was aggressive and wanted to kill Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan took advantage of the loopholes in the other side's words, seized the opportunity, and started to fight back.
Zhen Huan's attack was fierce, with a series of attacks that caught the opponent off guard. They planned to lure Zhen Huan into a trap step by step, but they could only change their plan temporarily.
He directly broke his face and produced important evidence against Zhen Huan. This wave of big moves hit Zhen Huan within seven inches, and Zhen Huan was directly beaten to residual blood.
At the critical moment, teammates stepped in to help Zhen Huan out of the siege, and with a round of words, surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, forcing the situation back to a stalemate, and even vaguely gaining the upper hand.
At this time, the mastermind behind the plan was afraid that Zhen Huan would escape, so he couldn't help but kill himself.
Zhen Huan, who had been pretending to recover her blood and recuperate from her injuries, thoroughly understood the enemy's situation, revealed her long-hidden killer move, and struck a fatal blow with thunderous momentum.
All the gangsters who had targeted her were eliminated. The mastermind behind the scenes not only suffered injuries to her teammates, but also became disgraced herself.
Zhen Huan's team won another victory, and Zhen Huan herself won the MVP of this team battle, taking another firm step towards the championship of the season [Queen Mother].
In this scene, Zuo Le is like a go-getter, keeping his face as calm as water, and occasionally his emotions fluctuate with the plot.
Finally, based on the results of the team battle, some processing was done to the two teams, and rewards were awarded to the MVP of the team battle——
The emperor admires the strong body
But I have to say that Zuo Le was usually tortured by these female artists, but in the show, when he saw these charming concubines, they looked like they were older than their younger sisters, but in fact they were quarrelsome and resorted to various tactics.
The gentle and soothing tone is full of murderous intent. Every sentence and every word is worth savoring carefully. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap behind you.
While it arouses goosebumps all over my body, I also feel inexplicably sexy...

ps: I wish you all a happy New Year, happiness to your family, good health, and all the best!
