Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 57 Empress Dowager He and Little Diao Chan

Zheng Jing digested the skill information and began to act.

Zhang Li asked him to continue training and strive to dominate the fighting field as soon as possible.

Lu Bu said: "A real man is born into this world, he should ride a horse, hold a spear, fight on the battlefield, and use his own ability to achieve success.

How can you bite and tear like a dog in a fighting arena for people's amusement?

I, Lu Bu, will join the army and fight for a better future with my nine-foot body!"

The main purpose of Zheng Jing's experience with the script this time was to improve the script and interpret the plot in the direction he had imagined.

In the script world, he wants to take revenge and not suffer bullying.

For this reason, Zheng Jing deliberately skipped the first 7 episodes of the script, because the previous plot was that Lu Bu was kept in captivity like a dog.

Zheng Jing doesn't want to experience this kind of rubbish plot.

Soon, Zheng Jing was immersed in the world of the script, mainly because Lu Bu's talents and skills were so useful.

With an extremely strong body, top-notch riding and archery skills, he can completely overcome all obstacles on the battlefield and is invincible.

Zheng Jing felt like he was playing Dynasty Warriors, it was very exciting.

Soon, Lu Bu became famous on the battlefield and was appreciated by Ding Yuan.

Diao Chan, played by Chen Hong, also came to reunite after hearing about Lu Bu's reputation.

Looking at the alluring Diao Chan, Zheng Jing began to practice the archery skill of "shooting the halberd at the gate" and the riding skill of "one horse against a thousand".

This skill is really useful. Diao Chan said it was great after trying it.

Lao Ai and Lu Bu, no one can stop them!
……

In the next few days, Zheng Jing used his experience in the script world to perfect the script.

Cheng Kaige was also affected and had constant bursts of "inspiration".

Chen Hong was affected even more.

After a man turns 30, his physical strength inevitably declines. Kaizi is almost 50, and the combination of an old man and a young wife certainly makes Chen Hong feel very empty.

So I've been dreaming a lot these days.

She often dreamed that Zheng Jing transformed into Lu Bu and rode on her.

That feeling, that taste...it's really intoxicating.

Chen Hong really wanted to work with Zheng Jing, and she kept persuading Cheng Kaige to change the script.

Cheng Kaige was a little shaken, but now that he had an inspiration, and with Chen Hong whispering in his ears all the time, he gradually accepted Zheng Jing's proposal.

He started chatting on QQ and discussing the script with Zheng Jing and Lu Wei.

Everyone gradually reached a consensus on the direction of the script, which also formed the basis for cooperation.

August 8, China World Trade Center Phase 16.

Zheng Jing and Du Wei came to Room 8 on the 802th floor.

Phase 2 of the China World Trade Center was completed at the end of last year and opened to the public this year. It is now one of the top office buildings in Yanjing.

Du Wei liked the decoration and management here very much, so she chose this place as the business location for her company.

At 9: in the morning, Cheng Kaige and others also arrived.

We held a meeting together and basically reached an agreement.

The drama "Lü Bu and Diao Chan" has been officially launched with a total investment of 2000 million yuan, jointly controlled by West China Film and Cheng Kaige's Beautiful Life Film and Television.

Western Films invested 500 million yuan of its own money and was responsible for raising another 500 million yuan in investment, which, together with the script fees, accounted for 52% of the investment share.

Beautiful Life Film and Television is responsible for the remaining 1000 million investment.

In 2000, the average production cost of a TV series was about 15 to 30 yuan per episode.
It is common to have an investment of 30 to 400 million for a 900-episode TV series.

The production cost of Lü Bu and Diao Chan was 2000 million yuan, with a total of 30 episodes. The production cost of each episode is close to 70 yuan, which is definitely top-notch in China.

Zheng Jing takes this drama very seriously and has great ambitions for it.

In order to ensure the success of the TV series, Zheng Jing still took precautions against Cheng Kaige and insisted on taking control of the project in case Cheng Kaige suddenly got inspiration and wanted to make random changes to the script.

He also gave Cheng Kaige room to operate. Not only did he offer a director's fee of 200 million, but he also had an investment share of 1000 million, which he could operate to make a profit.

After the project cooperation is roughly finalized, the next step is to select actors.

It was decided that Lu Bu and Diao Chan would be played by Zheng Jing and Chen Hong.

According to the new script, there are many important characters, the most important of which is the villain Dong Zhuo.

Zheng Jing looked at Cheng Kaige and said with a smile, "Director Cheng, how about you play Dong Zhuo?"

Cheng Kaige: “…” Zheng Jing said: “Great directors can all act. Look at Zhang Yimou, he won the Best Actor Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival, and Feng Kuzi is also quite capable.

I think you can do it too.

Since Lü Bu and Diao Chan is your first TV series as a director, why not also make it your first TV series as an actress? Good things come in pairs. "

Before Cheng Kaige could speak, Chen Hong smiled and said, "Old Cheng just played a guest role in the Grand Mansion some time ago. Our drama cannot be considered his first TV drama."

Zheng Jing said, “Then change the performance to starring, it will still be the first time.

If Director Cheng plays Dong Zhuo, the three of us, you, and Teacher Chen Hong, will perform a beauty trap, and the audience will definitely like it.

Director Cheng, you are tall enough and have a dignified appearance. With some makeup, you are quite suitable to play Dong Zhuo."

Chen Hong was a little excited when she heard Zheng Jing's suggestion. She thought it was a good idea.

My husband plays Dong Zhuo, and in front of my husband, he is affectionate with Lu Bu. It’s exciting just to think about it.

Cheng Kaige sighed and said, "Your suggestion is good, but I still have to be the director, so you should find someone else."

Cheng Kaige is very clear about his acting skills. He is too pretentious and his acting skills are really bad.

Zheng Jing also knew that he said that on purpose.

Everything is just to pave the way for the following recommendations.

Zheng Jing smiled and said, "Then I'll recommend another person."

"Who?"

"Jiang Wen has a strong and masculine temperament, so he is quite suitable to play Dong Zhuo."

Jiang Wen has great acting skills and is really suitable for playing Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, if we invite him to the crew and use him well, it can improve the shooting quality of the TV series, and at the same time further restrain Cheng Kaige and prevent him from causing trouble.

When Cheng Kaige was filming "The Emperor and the Assassin", the first actor he looked for was Jiang Wen.

As a result, Jiang Wen had an argument with Cheng Kaige about the script and they parted unhappily.

That's why Zheng Jingcai laid the groundwork and first proposed that Cheng Kaige play Dong Zhuo. Cheng Kaige would definitely refuse, so he proposed to find Jiang Wen.

At this time, even if Cheng Kaige was unhappy, it was not easy for him to refuse directly.

Sure enough, Cheng Kaige said: "Jiang Wen is a good candidate, I don't know if he is willing to come."

Zheng Jing looked at Chang Jihong, who immediately said, "Jiang Wen can't direct right now, and he's free, so I'll be in charge of the invitation, and it shouldn't be a problem."

In May this year, Jiang Wen’s film “The Devils” was exhibited in Cannes without passing the review.

He was punished and was banned from directing any works for 5 years.

Although he can’t be a director for five years, Jiang Wen can still be an actor.

This guy was free during this period, so he helped Lu Chuan Taijun and filmed the search for the gun for him.

Zheng Jing invited Jiang Wenlai to star in "Lü Bu and Diao Chan", which might have cut off Lu Chuan's "chance", and was also a good thing.

After talking about the candidate for Dong Zhuo, everyone discussed other characters together.

By 4 p.m., Cheng Kaige, Yang Wenjun and other talents had left.

Zheng Jing and Du Wei were the only ones left in the office.

Zheng Jing said: "Sister Wei, are you sure you don't want to play a role in our drama?
I think Empress Dowager He is quite suitable for you, and Tiantian is also very good at playing the role of Little Diao Chan. "

Du Wei shook her head and said, "Do you really think the film and television company is very idle?

Our company had just been established and there were a lot of things to do. I was busy managing the company and had no time to act.

As for Tiantian, she asked for leave right after the start of the school year, and Professor He Yanyun will have opinions about it.

Moreover, she had just switched from ballet to Dunhuang dance and needed time to learn and adapt, so it was not good for her to be distracted at this time.

Anyway, we have opened a film and television company, so will Tiantian still be short of roles in the future?

It's just a supporting role, I won't play it this time."

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "Since you don't want to act, I'll find someone else."

Du Wei rolled her eyes at Zheng Jing and said, "Did you already have someone chosen?"

Zheng Jing said seriously: "To me, you and Tiantian come first."

Hearing this, Du Wei smiled sweetly.

"You are the only one who can talk. I want to see who the Empress Dowager He and Little Diao Chan are in your mind?"
