Chapter 660: The First Main Character
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
When Han man woke up, the situation was over. From that day onwards, there was no way to stop the ambiguous conversation between the emperor and his subjects. Under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, Emperor Chen became angry because of Han man and wiped out the entire family of the commander.
When Han Man found out the truth, Emperor Chen found out that someone was causing trouble. He felt guilty and fell ill not long after. In the end, he died young.
At this time, the person behind him finally walked up to him. He was Emperor Chen’s younger brother, the benefactor who had saved Han man several times.
He quickly seized the throne and made up some groundless accusations, sending Han man to her death.
Such a magnificent character had not even reached thirty years old when he died.
Yun Xiangxiang had to admit that this was a good script after reading it. Once it was produced, it would definitely not be inferior to “The king’s plan.”.
The magnificent battle, the soul-stirring power scheme, and the emperor’s suspicion were different. Only the emperor and his subjects were united.
Emperor Chen not only trusted Han man a lot, if he did not also rely on the great sima to be grateful, how would he know that he had punished him too heavily and be depressed?
However, under the imperial power, there were always poisonous snakes lurking in the dark. Their tragedy was not the suspicion of the emperor and his subjects, but the terrifying hearts of the people.
As for Han Man, in fact, he was later portrayed as a gigolo who fawned over and served the emperor. However, Yun Xiangxiang had read through the history, and his military achievements and the hard work he put into consolidating Emperor Chen’s empire could not be erased.
Yun Xiangxiang did not believe that there was anything romantic in it. She only felt that the script was very neutral. Every character was very outstanding and full.
However, after looking at it for a long time, she could not figure out which character she should play. “Brother Wei, do you want me to play the role of the Princess?”
This was the only female character that had a lot of scenes. Like Madam XI, she was a little red among the greenery. However, the likability of the character was worlds apart from Madam XI. This princess could be said to be the instigator of the tragedy, even though she was also used.
Yun Xiangxiang had a premonition that this princess would most likely be scolded to death.
“I’m asking you to play the first lead, Han Man!”He Wei said helplessly.
“That’s a man!”Yun Xiangxiang was stunned.
“It’s a man. You’re just acting as a man, not a woman pretending to be a man,”he wei emphasized.
Yun Xiangxiang widened her eyes. What kind of operation was this? Why would a woman take on a male role?
“Actually, I’m just asking you to play a side role,”he wei patiently explained to Yun Xiangxiang.
“There’s nothing wrong with this script. There’s nothing ambiguous between Han man and Emperor Chen, but there are three reasons. The producer decided to choose an actress who can play the role.”
“Pa.s.s the review?”Yun Xiangxiang only thought of this. Even if she did not quote the real name of history and changed it to an empty t.i.tle, it was still very consistent with history. When many people thought of this history, they would use ambiguous and colorful eyes.
This was not conducive to the review. If they knew that the first lead was an actress and that it was an empty t.i.tle, then they would relax a little.
During filming, they could also zoom in a little, such as eye contact, or some scenes that seemed a little intimate. This was because Yun Xiangxiang was a female. Everyone would treat her as a male and female lead. This way, they would not feel that there was a problem.
They would not give the audience any bad guidance and hints that they should not have. This was for the sake of their physical and mental health.
He Wei nodded. “Yes, the second reason is that it is not easy to find an actor who fits the set.”
Being too feminine would make him look like a real boy toy, but being too firm wouldn’t work either. It would be better to find an actress to play the role, soft but also firm.
“What about the third reason?”
“The third reason is to confuse the audience. If this film were all male characters, the princess would be the only female character with more scenes. It would appear less gentle and not very conducive to the market. Men would definitely like it, but they can’t be corrupt, so women might not show up.”
Yun Xiangxiang understood, but at the same time, she also understood the challenge of this role. “It’s very challenging.”
She was not going to pretend to be a man, but directly cross-dressing. That was, the moment she entered the scene, she had to be a real man.
It was really difficult for a woman to maintain the gentleness of this role without giving off a feminine feeling.
If she did not grasp it well, it could become a huge failure. However, if she acted it well, it would be a cla.s.sic that could not be surpa.s.sed!
“How is it? Do you have the confidence to challenge it?”He Wei saw a familiar light in Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes.
“How many years does it take to meet a character like this? How can I not be interested?”Yun Xiangxiang immediately became addicted to the role of Han Man.
This kind of opportunity was too rare. Such a theme happened to be the main creative team, such as the producer, director, and so on. They were willing to take a detour and did not plan to change the script or find a similar actor. Instead, they had the idea of cross-dressing, in the future, there would probably not be such a good script or such a good cross-dressing role.
Moreover, Han Man’s character design was too perfect.
She was a country-toppling beauty, hardworking, resourceful, and well-rounded. She cared about the overall situation and had a long-term vision.
“You have to think clearly. This character will either receive fame and fortune, or suffer a crus.h.i.+ng defeat,”he wei had to remind him.
The character was a good character, but it was precisely because of this rare cross-character opportunity that it was impossible to have a normal ending.
If he didn’t succeed, he would die. This character was quite risky.
“I’ve thought it through. If I miss this role, I’ll regret it more than I would miss any other role.”This role was too exciting. Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but feel itchy just thinking about it.
“Alright then, I’ll reply to them. You’ve agreed.”He Wei was also looking forward to Yun Xiangxiang showing a different kind of surprise.
“Don’t you need to go for an audition?”After all, it was a cross-cast. They had to see her ability.
“From the moment they decided to choose a female actor to be the first lead, you were their first choice.”He Wei was very proud.
This meant that they fully approved of Yun Xiangxiang’s acting skills, even though up until now, Yun Xiangxiang had yet to have such a masculine role. They also had no way of verifying whether Yun Xiangxiang would have a heroic side in her men’s wear, they still decided on Yun Xiangxiang.
He Wei had been waiting for their reply. He Wei had only flipped through the script a few days ago after receiving the urging from the scriptwriter. He read it carefully and handed it over to Yun Xiangxiang as soon as he finished reading it.
Yun Xiangxiang was very happy to be recognized. She could not wait to ask, “When will the filming start?”
“If it’s fast, it’ll be in the second half of October. If it’s slow, it might be next year.”He Wei was silent for a while before he said to Yun Xiangxiang, “The filming period of this film might be very long. You have to be mentally prepared and you might be very tired.”
There were too many martial arts scenes that involved fighting and fighting. After filming such scenes for a day, one would be paralyzed and not want to move.
“After hard work and tiredness, the fruits will be more delicious.”Yun Xiangxiang’s dreamy and clear eyes were s.h.i.+ning
