waiting for your starlight

Chapter 56

That's right, after deciding to use Yixi, Zhou Xingfang reached an agreement with Xia Ce, and Guo Ziqian and Xia Xintong were sent over in packages, using the quantity to make up for the regret of not being able to get the heroine.Guo Ziqian plays Concubine Xu Xian of Tang Taizong, and Xia Xintong plays Concubine Xiao Shu of Tang Gaozong, Yixi's early and late love rivals respectively.

Xia Xintong thought it was amazing.Three roommates in a dormitory are performing on the same stage before they graduate, and it is a historical drama with a large investment. The probability is so small that it is difficult to find it in the entire entertainment industry.It is conceivable that they must have become a hot topic in school.

"In half a month, the two of us will report to school first, and then join the film crew. You don't even know that when I met Guo Ziqian at the company recently, I took the initiative to go up to her, and she avoided me! Hahaha, I like it so much Seeing her expression, it's fine if I don't live up to losing the female number one, and let me take advantage of it, I think she's about to vomit blood!"

The two flirted with the "wonderful life" of working in the same group as Guo Ziqian. When Xia Xintong came to exercise, Yixi put down her phone and picked up the script again.It has been turned over very old by her, and the lines of each period are distinguished with different colored markers on it, and there are dense annotations written by her beside it.

From the time she learned that she might play this role to the present, she has searched all the records about Wu Meiniang in the history books of various dynasties. At the same time, she has also reviewed director Zhou Xingfang's previous works to figure out her style. After getting the script, he studied hard day and night, trying his best to thoroughly understand his role before shooting.

Also because of this hard work, she keenly discovered that Zhou Xingfang had made a huge change this time compared to the past.This change is not only the "Iron Lady changed to a female drama" repeated by the media, but in addition to the subject matter, more importantly, it is a change in her view of history.

Zhou Xingfang's previous works, from "The Founding of the Tang Dynasty" to "Yongle Emperor", always strictly followed the official history records, there were very few jokes or unofficial histories, and the scenes of love and romance were pitifully rare.Fortunately, she and the screenwriter have profound skills, and they are able to make thrilling plot dramas, which is why they have become the leading director of historical dramas in China.But this time, many folk legends about Wu Meiniang were obviously added to the script of "The Empress", as well as some erroneous views that have been widely circulated but have long been clarified by historians.

Although compared with other costume dramas, its textual research is still very careful, but in Yixi's view, this is no longer a serious drama in the strict sense, it should be an ancient legend with a wonderful story, rigorous logic, and a sense of humor.

But this kind of change is not without benefits. The viewability of the whole story has improved a lot in an instant. It will not be like before, where the men come and go for several consecutive episodes, and the female audience will switch channels after less than 10 minutes. .You know, the remote control of the prime time is in the hands of housewives!
Wang Anhui said that although Zhou Xingfang has a work like "The Founding of the Tang Dynasty" that has a good ratings and reputation, in the past few years, "Han Gaozu" and "Yongle Emperor" have hit the street one after another, and Zhou Xingfang's voice in the crew has also followed suit. Lower it, otherwise Xia Ce, the heroine candidate, would not dare to point fingers this time.As an industry insider, Yixi too understands the importance of ratings to directors and producers, and word-of-mouth and fame alone cannot become a truly great director.

Thinking of Xia Xintong's words, she felt a little emotional.Everyone is really worrying for nothing, Director Zhou's goal this time is far bigger than they thought.She is planning to abandon the path of the fair, the high and the low, and perfectly integrate art and commerce. Maybe she wants to surpass "Da Tang" and recreate her second peak!
For Yixi, this is undoubtedly great news.She was also worried at first, acting in TV dramas is just to get familiar, but in terms of the skill of flattering people, regular dramas are far worse than idol dramas.If Zhou Xingfang continues to follow the previous route, it will be difficult for this drama to become a big hit even if it does not hit the street, but now, its future has more possibilities.

Maybe, they can really do it...

The door of the dressing room was pushed open, Zhang Bing, the assistant assigned by the company to Yixi, poked his head in and said with a smile: "Xiaoxi, it's your turn for the next game, go out first."

Yixi responded and stood up from the chair.There was a dressing table next to her, and she went to the mirror to check her makeup. She saw that the girl had black eyebrows and fair skin, and she looked beautiful and full of vitality.

She felt very satisfied, and the blood in her chest was surging.The red lips curled up, and the girl in the mirror smiled arrogantly and recklessly, as if she was about to crush the princes and kill all directions.

She said, "It's up to you, my Mei Niang."
