At this moment, Wang Hao heard two staff members chatting.
"Aiya! What should he do? Chairman Zhou's old illness had relapsed and he couldn't film!”
"What's the situation with Chairman Zhou?"
"It's spinal stiffness. It hurts so much that I can't even raise my hand when it acts up.”
"It's that serious!"
"I heard that Teacher Zhang Jiayi has the same illness. He can't even straighten his back when he walks!”
"It looks like Director Zhang has to hurry up and find someone. Now that the crew for the set has been set up, we can't afford to delay even a day!”
"But I really can't find a suitable male celebrity. Male celebrities with the same amount of slots don't even have a schedule!”
Wang Hao stood at the door and looked inside. He saw a middle-aged man with a weathered face. It was the famous director, Zhang Yimou.
Director Zhang's first film in 20 years, Red Sorghums, won the Golden Bear Award at our country's first international film festival. Later on," Ju Dou,"" Raise the Red Lantern,"" The Court of Autumn Chrysanthemum,"" To Live,"" Not One Less,"" My Father and Mother," and other films won many film awards at home and abroad. They were nominated for three Oscars and five Golden Globes!
After 2002, his commercial films, Hero, Ambush from All Sides, The Golden Armor of the City, and The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling, broke the box office records of our country twice and won the box office champion of the Chinese film industry four times.
In addition to the movie, he also successfully directed the 2008 Olympic Games, the G20 Summit, and the 70th anniversary gala!
It could be said that he was the most impressive director in the mainland!
However, Wang Hao didn't quite understand why the movie he was directing was called " Chrysanthemum Kill ". Shouldn't it be called " Golden Armor "?
It turned out that in that time and space, the first time the film appeared in Time magazine in America was called " Memories of Autumn Day." Later on, Zhang Yimou suggested using titles like " Double Ninth " or " Chrysanthemum Kill," but in the end, he felt that neither of them could reflect the momentum of the film. He hoped that the name would be as domineering as " Lord of the Rings," so he used the last sentence of Huang Chao's poem," Chrysanthemum after the First."
Another strange thing was that Wang Hao had traveled from the year 2020 to the year 2010 in a parallel universe. It had been three years, and now it was 2013. The movie should have been released six or seven years ago. Why was it only starting now?
Wang Hao soon stopped thinking about it. After all, in this parallel universe, even Yang Mi hadn't gotten married and had children yet (she wasn't with Liu Moumou). What was so strange about the movie only starting now?
He realized that Zhang Yimou was on the phone. He was probably contacting the male celebrities she knew to see if any of them were available.
There were very few people who were really suitable for the role of the second prince. After three phone calls, Zhang Yi looked depressed!
He was in a very passive position right now. The role of the second prince was very important. He had to find someone very suitable for it. He could not just find anyone to play it, but all the suitable male stars were not available!
Wang Hao saw Zhang Yi's expression from afar and realized that his chance had come!
The plot of this movie was equivalent to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms version of " Thunderstorm." The second prince that Jay Chou had originally wanted to play had superb martial arts skills. He had the aura of a man who could hold his own against ten thousand men. Among the three princes, he was the most valued by the king. In order to protect his mother, he did not hesitate to break up with his father, who was far more powerful than him!
From the setting of the second prince, he was more like Li Cunxiao in the Thirteen Gangsters of Li Keyong in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms!
This was obviously a big shot and definitely not a small character. It was in line with the system's settings. In this way, he could play this role!
The problem was, who was Yang Mi going to play? Was it the daughter of Imperial Physician Jiang, Jiang Chan, who Li Man had played before?
Wang Hao thought he would be able to see the original scene, where the palace maids would dress like in the Legend of Wu Mei Niang.
In the end, he secretly looked inside and found that every palace maid was dressed tightly. There was nothing good to look at!
Wang Hao finally realized that since the year 2000, the higher-ups had imposed strict restrictions on this time and space. No scenes like that were allowed, and there couldn't be any verbal scenes, let alone scenes that were more excessive!
Therefore, even if he knew that Emperor Gong and Yang Mi had good figures, he couldn't see anything. It was really a pity!
Forget it, don't let your imagination run wild. I have to focus now and seize this opportunity!
It turned out that in that time and space, the role of the second prince was played by Jay Chou. It was undeniable that Jay Chou was a very talented music king. No one in the younger generation could compare to him. However, in terms of acting, with the background of the award-winning Best Actor and Best Actress like Fa Ge and Emperor Gong, Jay Chou's performance was difficult to describe in a few words.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Yimou was not good at teaching male actors, Liu Huohua, who had also won the Best Actor Award, was not his best performance in this movie!
Jay Chou's appearance and temperament were more artistic, modern, and unique. He could act in modern dramas, but if he acted in ancient dramas, at the very least, people would not be able to feel that the second prince's martial arts were superior!
If Wang Hao played the role, he was 100% confident that he could make the role the most outstanding one in the movie, even more brilliant than Fa Ge!
Wang Hao wanted to enter the set to recommend himself, but he found that there were many security guards at the door. He couldn't get in at all!
Wang Hao wanted to sneak in as an extra, but the crew had already started filming for a few days, and all the extras had been gathered!
If Wang Hao couldn't get into the studio and see Zhang Yi, he wouldn't be able to do anything!
Wang Hao wanted to shout like the male lead in some movies and TV series that reflected the entertainment industry and attract Zhang Yi's attention.
However, he felt that it was too low and did not match the temperament of a big boss!
In the past, he had seen some extras who tried their best to perform in front of the director. They were even more exaggerated than Yin Tianchou of " The King of Comedy ", but they were all scolded by the director and never used again!
After all, the director was the soul of the production team. He had his considerations for who he used. Even the male and female leads could not shake his will, let alone extras!
Chairman Zhou could not continue acting due to illness. Everyone on the set stopped. Yang Mi also sat down helplessly and played with her phone!
Of course, Zhang Yimou couldn't give up. He was still communicating with the producer to see if there were any other actors suitable for this role!
Wang Hao knew that the opportunity was fleeting. If Zhang Yimou found a male celebrity who could replace Chairman Zhou to play the second prince, Yuan Jie, then the opportunity would be gone!
