Yesterday, the Legal Evening News and Perception News reporter interviewed Sun Haohui, the original author of "Great Qin Empire", at the China Network Audio-Visual Conference, who told reporters that "The 5th Part of the Great Qin Empire" will be filmed, and the most headache for him is that he cannot find the actor of Qin Wang Yingzheng among Chinese actors. It is reported that the drama will start in April and May next year, and it is expected to meet the audience at the end of 2019.

To "take the battle"

"Great Qin Empire" series of novels have been put on the screen, of which the first TV series "The Fission of the Great Qin Empire" received the best response, and then put on the screen "The Vertical and Horizontal of the Great Qin Empire" and "The Rise of the Great Qin Empire" The response was flat, talking about the previous three works, Sun Haohui felt that the second and third parts were very unsatisfactory, and the main reason for the unsatisfactory was: "The departure from the original work is too big, after the comparison of our comrades in the creation department, the repetition rate of the story is insufficient, so it is not an adaptation of the original work, In fact, they made up the story of the second and third parts with their own other ideas. ”

In order to ensure that the spiritual core of the TV series and the novel is consistent, Sun Haohui believes that it is very necessary to personally go into battle, "Once the script is established, it is not allowed to be adapted." The director has no right to change, no one has the right to change, can put forward opinions in the middle of the discussion, it is completely possible to accommodate the opinions of all aspects, then the modification is also uniformly modified by the original screenwriter, rather than by anyone on the spot to change. ”

Values

Let the "historical drama" return to the screen

In fact, there is no shortage of costume dramas on the Chinese TV screen, and costume dramas are full of palace fights, conspiracy theories, polyamorous love, etc., and more soap operas. And Sun Haohui this time to bring the "historical drama" back to the screen, the most important mission of the "historical drama" is positive values, but now many costume dramas are defeated in values, "all the political life in the soap opera is basically a conspiracy theory, emotionally dominated by polyamorous love, which is almost the biggest flaw in all costume dramas, without these two can not be filmed." ”

How to judge the "historical drama", Sun Haohui believes: "From the perspective of the story framework, at least about 70% of the history written must be true. If we claim to be a historical drama and write half fiction and half truth, then it is not called a historical drama. Secondly, if a historical figure is to be real, we must respect some of the things found in the history books and archaeology, and what is the origin of this figure, what is his origin, what is the history of his civilization, for example, he was born poor, we cannot write rich, these must be true. ”

It's a headache

I couldn't find the right actor to play Yingzheng

Personally on the battlefield as a screenwriter, the most headache for Sun Haohui is that he can't find a suitable actor to play Yingzheng, "There are many works in history that the image of Yingzheng is ugly", and for the description of Yingzheng's image, Sun Haohui said bluntly: "The Taiping Imperial Records that Qin Shi Huang was one meter and nine meters tall, that is, he was more than nine feet tall, and his physique was also very strong. ”

For the requirements for being able to play the actor of Yingzheng, "At least one meter eighty-five or more, he wears boots to make him taller, you are at least about one meter eighty-five, and then wear a crown, a dress, the key itself is an internal temperament, because the Qin King's lines are also very many, and they are all political lines, and our line level must remain the same as the level of the first part of the "Great Qin Empire" series that has been released. ”

Why the main line, Sun Haohui revealed that when filming the first part of "Great Qin Empire", the script lines had embarrassed Wang Zhifei, "At that time, ""Great Qin Empire" was the first time in Chinese historical dramas to use such a style of lines, and all the actors did not agree, saying that such lines could not be said. Like Wang Zhifei, he is known as the hardest at remembering lines. In all the plays, he never took a piece of paper on the scene, and the lines were clear in his chest, but as soon as he entered the crew to play Shang Martingale, Wang Zhifei said: 'How to get this line, I can't remember it.' ’”

As a result, the older generation of actors, including Lu Zhong, studied how to say their lines at night after entering the group, "often fighting each other, and the atmosphere of the crew is also very good." In the remake of "The Great Qin Empire", Sun Haohui hopes to maintain the same style as the first part, which also means that the lines will be a big challenge to the actors.

In order to solve the problem of not being able to find an actor, Sun Haohui has a suggestion: "We are ready to recruit this actor who plays Yingzheng in the global Chinese circle, and perhaps the amateur can emerge the genius that we have not yet presented in our vision, so the actor who plays Yingzheng, we hope to have a good actor in China, and his temperament, temperament, and contribution can be expressed." ”
