I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 532 Chen Kai's New Film Leads the Way!

Based on the records in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, it is speculated that Zhao Yun's two sons were about twenty years old after his death. At that time, Zhao Yun should have been around sixty-five years old. That is to say, Zhao Yun had his sons when he was forty-five years old and got married when he was over forty.

Based on the records in the Records of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is speculated that the famous general Zhao Yun was busy helping Liu Bei conquer the world when he was young. He had no time to take care of his personal marital status because of his constant battles.

When Zhao Yun was in his forties, Liu Bei had already conquered Western Sichuan. Zhao Yun was Liu Bei's right-hand man and was also deeply loved by Zhuge Liang. Therefore, Zhao Yun, who had been single, should have married in Chengdu with the help of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. His wife should have been a lady from a famous or well-connected family in Chengdu. In other words, Zhao Yun's wife was from Chengdu, and the marriage was arranged by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, based on reasonable speculation from historical records, it can be seen that none of the four versions about the wife of the famous general Zhao Yun are reliable. His real wife should be a lady from a prominent family in Chengdu, and the marriage was arranged with the help of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Unfortunately, there are very few records about Zhao Yun's wife, so the company's screenwriters could only rely on their own imagination to adapt the story.

Ultimately, based on unofficial historical records, the editor transformed Lady Fan into a female general with some martial prowess, making it easier for her to form a romantic pairing with Zhao Yun.

Since Lady Fan is a female general, the actress playing this role must have a similar temperament.

After much deliberation, Cheng Sheng realized that the female lead role would definitely not be given to an outsider, so who in the company would be the most suitable to play this role?
A sharp and capable figure flashed through Cheng Sheng's mind.

Jiao Junyan.

This actor is absolutely perfect for the role of Fan.

She maintains a short hairstyle for a long time, pairing it with items such as suits, leather jackets, and vest dresses to showcase a neutral style and a cool, chic vibe.

The image is very fitting for a female general.

"Jiao Junyan," Cheng Sheng said calmly.

"Ah! Boss, how did you guess? Did Sister Aina tell you?"

Jiangsu Ying looked at Cheng Sheng with some disbelief.

It's worth noting that the female lead for "The Legend of Zhao Yun" was only recently cast, and no one else has been revealed except for the director and Xing Aina.

Even Cheng Sheng, the boss, couldn't possibly know.

"Guessing this isn't a difficult thing!" Cheng Sheng said with a faint smile, somewhat like Versailles.

Jiangsu Film was speechless. His boss was too smart; he had guessed it right away.

Cheng Sheng stopped chatting with Jiangsu Film Studio.

After Jiangsu Film Studio left, Cheng Sheng picked up the script for "The Legend of Zhao Yun" and started reading it.

Cheng Sheng didn't read it word by word, but glanced at the content and then closed the script.

Although the plot is historically inaccurate and has been significantly altered, a TV series based on this script would definitely be a masterpiece.

Two days have passed.

These past two days, Cheng Sheng has been busy with matters related to "Zheng He's Voyages to the West".

Although some trivial matters could be left to Peng Da Mo, Cheng Sheng had to personally oversee everything related to casting, setting up filming locations, and props.

There are no problems with casting, since the main roles have already been decided.

Setting up the shooting location and props can be a bit troublesome.

"Zheng He's Voyages to the Western Ocean" was filmed on location, starting from Liujiagang, and passing through places such as Champa, Java, Palembang, Sumatra, Malacca, Ceylon, and Calicut.

In other words, the fleet will eventually venture deep into the Indian Ocean and reach the South Asian subcontinent.

The total voyage is approximately 5 kilometers.

Zheng He returned after about two years.

Even with modern equipment, it would still take about half a year, instead of that long.

Of course, this is assuming everything goes smoothly; if things don't go smoothly, filming could take a year.

After all, various accidents can happen at sea, and communication with Southeast Asian countries is also necessary.

All of these need to be prepared in advance to avoid any unexpected incidents during filming. In addition to the difficulty of finding filming locations, Cheng Sheng insisted that all props, except for weapons, be real in order to achieve a sense of realism.

As for costumes, props, and sets, Cheng Sheng also entrusted the production to the factories he had previously collaborated with.

Although Cheng Sheng believed that the other party would not dare to deceive him, he still wanted to personally supervise and inspect the situation.

That day, Cheng Sheng didn't go to the company, but stayed home to rest.

Sitting on the sofa, Cheng Sheng chatted with Zeng Li on his phone while watching TV.

Cheng Sheng was watching entertainment news, where the host was reporting on the latest developments in the cultural and entertainment field.

Its content focuses on celebrities, film and television, variety shows, music, fashion, etc., emphasizing storytelling, plot and public attention.

"Director Chen Kaige revealed in an interview with reporters..."

The host suddenly revealed the news about Chen Kaige, which immediately caught Cheng Sheng's attention.

Before the host could finish speaking, the television screen switched to a video of Chen Kaige being interviewed.

In the video, besides Chen Kaige and Chen Hong, there are also Twins and Chef Xie.

Cheng Sheng was stunned for a moment.

Although he recommended Charlene Choi and Chef Tse to audition for "Blue Is the Warmest Color," he didn't think they could land the roles.

Judging from the current situation, Huo Wenxi not only helped Ah Sa and Chef Xie get the male and female leads, but Gillian Chung probably also benefited, otherwise Gillian would not have appeared next to Chen Kai.

"Holy crap, did Twins manage to get both female leads in the movie?" Cheng Sheng exclaimed in disbelief.

On TV.

When questioned by reporters, Chen Kaige said, "I think the two female leads in the new film are made for Twins..."

Wow, they really got it.

What price did Emperor Entertainment pay to get Chen Kaige to give the two most important female leads to Emperor Entertainment?
"Director Chen Kaige, I heard someone saw you and Gillian Chung entering and leaving a hotel in Kyoto?"

"Yes, we met at the hotel, but please don't misunderstand, my meeting with Gillian was just for an audition."

Watching Chen Kaige on TV speaking righteously about auditioning, Cheng Sheng's lips twitched.

That's something you can say to fool outsiders.

Cheng Shengcai didn't believe that Chen Kai's meeting with Gillian at the hotel was just for an audition.

There must have been something else that people don't know about.

Moreover, Cheng Sheng also noticed that in the video, Chen Kai would occasionally glance at Gillian Chung next to him out of the corner of his eye.

It's obvious that these two are related.

Cheng Sheng finally understood why Twins were able to get two leading female roles.

I just don't know if Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) was involved.

If Chen Kaige was also involved, then he's gone too far.

Although Twins are not biological sisters, their bond is even stronger than that of biological sisters.

Chen Kai is so old, I don't know if he can handle it.

Online rumors say that Chen Kaige and Chen Hong are a model couple, but Cheng Sheng has another memory and knows that Chen Kaige is a complete 'scumbag'.

I won't go into what happened before he married Chen Hong.

Let's talk about the scandals that followed his marriage to Chen Hong. (End of Chapter)
