Chapter 75: The Legend of Shangguan Wan'er (Revised) When spreading the news...
When spreading the news, the two sides focused on different aspects. Yindu focused on the inland cultural exchange group, while the right side focused on Li Daohua.
What is the same is that both sides conveyed that the screenwriter of "On the Rooftop", winner of the 1983 America Nebula Award, Li Daohua, went to Hong Kong for exchanges.
Hong Kong Island is not very familiar with Li Daohua. The last time Li Daohua came, Yindu promoted Li Daohua for a period of time, and after that period of time, everything returned to normal.
Only after seeing the detailed introduction did the readers in Hong Kong remember that it was that person.
When it comes to Li Daohua, they don't know much about her, but when it comes to her achievements, they remember that they have read her works.
“So can we work with her too?” The actors on the right were eager to try again.
Going to the United States is what many Hong Kong actors want to achieve. They want to become international superstars and have their own confidence, so that they can live a better life in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is a place where good and bad people mix together, and many forces are integrated with each other, with no distinction between you and me.
Actors in Hong Kong are not like actors in the mainland who have status and position. It is true that they earn a lot of money, but they also suffer more than actors in the mainland.
Seeing so many people in Hong Kong wanting to connect with Li Daohua, they all want to use the resources of the cultural exchange group to move themselves to the next level.
Some people also want to try to see if they can successfully enter the inland market through cultural exchange groups.
The last "Shaolin Temple" made them realize that there are also huge market resources in the inland area, so it is not a bad thing to prepare themselves in advance.
When Li Jie saw all this, he just felt regretful. When "Shaolin Temple" became popular, he met the director and actors from Hong Kong Island.
I know that in Hong Kong Island, making movies is a very profitable industry, and it makes much more money than making movies in the mainland.
To this end, he was willing to sacrifice his own body just to be able to retire from the national team early and decide his own future.
When his coach found out about it, he advised him, and directors from mainland China also advised him, and some even promised him that they would give him the best resources, saying that he was a rare martial arts talent, the first of his kind in the country.
If he is willing, he can also be the protagonist in Teacher Daohua's next work.
He wanted to come to Hong Kong Island so much at that time that no one could persuade him.
Only after coming to Hong Kong did he realize that as a latecomer, his resources are far inferior to those of veteran actors.
Even if there are any good resources, it will not be his turn.
Li Daohua was just about to go to bed at the hotel where she was staying when she heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" No one responded.
The door was opened a little, with the security chain still hanging inside, just in case.
There was a tall and strong man standing outside the door. When he saw her open the door, he excitedly introduced himself: "Hello, Teacher Daohua, I am...
It’s my first time meeting you. I’m so excited. I really like your The Walking Dead. There are some parts I don’t understand. Can I go in and ask for your advice? "
Through the crack in the door, Li Daohua could tell that this man was not dressed like a decent man. Who would wear a suit without a shirt inside? Wouldn't he be afraid of exposing himself?
Also, can you please be more careful when making excuses? She can understand the parts that she doesn't understand in "Maybe on Wall Street", so what's not to understand about "The Walking Dead"?
Could it be that she didn't understand how America's zombie virus was made? Sorry, she didn't understand it either, the above was pure fabrication.
"It's getting dark now. I need to rest. If you have any questions, please come back tomorrow during the day."
As Li Daohua was about to close the door, the man was faster and reached his hand directly through the crack in the door, trying to stop Li Daohua from closing the door.
The door was not closed, and Li Daohua saw a hand in the crack of the door. "You're trying to do this? I won't accept it!"
No matter whether his hands are there or not, Li Daohua is determined to close the door. If she can't close it, she will use force to close it. Teacher Daohua has plenty of strength. She eats so much food just to use it at this moment.
There are plenty of handsome guys out there, I don’t want the one who’s chasing after me. Besides, who knows if he’s sick or not.
People's hands are made of flesh, not steel, so it will hurt if they are squeezed by the door.
When Li Daohua did this, the man's face twisted in pain, but he didn't dare to cry out.
He came here secretly. Although this kind of thing is very common in this circle, everyone treats it as an unspoken rule and does not do it openly.
It would be terrible if someone found out.
However, the sound of the door closing still attracted the attention of the security personnel who lived opposite Li Daohua.
When he opened the door and saw the scene in front of him, he was still quite shocking. Then his sense of mission made him rush out and help pull the man away.
He also asked Li Daohua whether she was safe, whether she was threatened, or whether she needed help.
Only after seeing one of her own coming out did Li Daohua dare to open the door and let him see that she was indeed safe. She had just slammed the door hard, but it might have been broken and could not be closed.
As the saying goes, the words of writers are deceiving. The bodyguard looked at the man's red and even bleeding hands, and then at Li Daohua's sincere expression as she studied the door carefully.
"It may have fallen into disrepair. I'll ask someone to take a look later."
Neither of them mentioned the third person. They closed the door. Li Daohua continued to sleep in her room while the man was taken away by the bodyguard.
This is a serious problem. If their beauty trap really succeeds and Teacher Daohua is seduced and stays in Hong Kong Island, it will be terrible.
The leaders have repeatedly emphasized that Teacher Daohua is young and can easily be dazzled by the outside world. They should pay attention to these things and not let such a situation occur.
The next morning, Li Daohua had breakfast in her room. While eating, she also watched what was being broadcast on several popular channels in Hong Kong Island.
After watching it, I just felt that there was no one who could fight.
Of course, in Li Daohua's opinion, TVB's TV dramas are outdated and none of them are comparable. Unfortunately, ATV is even worse.
Except for "On the Rooftop", the ratings of other dramas are terrible. Many viewers quickly changed channels after watching "On the Rooftop" and did not give ATV's other TV dramas any chance.
Only a few people are too lazy to change and think that everything they watch is the same, which is why ATV is not extremely ugly.
After dinner, their exchange group will go to visit ATV together to see the production conditions there and the various high-tech technologies.
Li Daohua thinks these technologies are very backward. Compared with domestic film and television studios, they are much better.
Because of poverty in China, many film studios use equipment from a long time ago. The equipment is old and broken, and they have to do their best to maintain it. Unlike here, new equipment is added frequently.
Props may be passed down for three generations, but these equipment are not. You should save where you can and spend where you can.
"Our equipment is world-class and not much different from America's. We can do what they can do.
We are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, so it is more appropriate for us to film Teacher Daohua's works. If Teacher Daohua has any ideas, you can feel free to tell us. "
ATV was almost about to ask Li Daohua to give them a few more scripts. There are really few good scripts, and novel adaptations also need to be edited and revised.
It’s not like they haven’t put in some effort in this regard, but it just doesn’t work because TVB’s monopoly on talent is too strong.
"I see that TVB seems to have a lot of costume dramas." Costume dramas and martial arts dramas are very popular in this era, and few modern dramas can compete with the costume dramas.
Especially the costume dramas in Hong Kong, with handsome men and beautiful women, bold makeup and vivid character portrayal, are very attractive.
Li Daohua chose costume dramas for a reason. Compared with modern dramas, the conditions in the inland areas are currently not as good as those in Hong Kong Island with its numerous skyscrapers.
There are so many places with higher levels of modernization than the inland areas, and Hong Kong Island is only a small part of them.
But in terms of cultural heritage, it is no exaggeration to say that even all of you here combined are not enough.
As for what to watch in costume dramas, time travel!
The first time-travel drama in China was "A Step into the Past", which was adapted from the novel of the same name "A Step into the Past" and was extremely popular back then.
However, the book "A Step into the Past" was not published until 1994, and the TV series was not made until 2001, which is a long time ago.
Li Daohua is planning to write a time-travel novel in which the protagonist travels back to the Tang Dynasty and becomes an ordinary maid in the imperial palace.
From being at a loss at first, to later realizing that he had traveled back to the Tang Dynasty and met Wu Zetian, he originally just wanted to observe history, but accidentally became a part of history.
After Wu Zetian conferred the title of Talented Lady, the heroine was assigned to be Wu Zetian's maid. When Wu Zetian was depressed and frustrated, the heroine comforted her and accompanied her in learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
When Wu Zetian entered the palace again, she successfully became a senior maid. Wu Zetian, who had learned to be worldly-wise and tactful, distributed her gold and silver jewelry to reward the maids. The heroine did not accept them, but still helped her with her work.
Because the heroine knows that the Wu Meiniang in front of her will one day become Wu Zetian, but the journey is not easy.
When Wu Zetian became an influential Zhaoyi, the heroine was asked to be her personal maid.
It was also by Wu Zetian's side that the heroine was given the name Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er was by Wu Zetian's side and witnessed her growth from immaturity to maturity, and from being iron-blooded and tyrannical to hiding her ambitions.
Also around her, she saw that she had to acknowledge her sister and her husband's son as her own biological son, and even racked her brains to arrange a reasonable identity for the child.
Shangguan Wan'er went from being heartbroken at first to being shocked later.
Power can change a person and make him unrecognizable.
She also saw Wu Zetian waking up in her dreams at midnight, questioning whether everything she had done was worth it.
But everything was destined from the beginning.
When Wu Zetian returned to the palace, Shangguan Wan'er knew that she would ascend the throne sooner or later. For the sake of the people of the world, Shangguan Wan'er often instilled in Wu Zetian the idea of putting people first.
It is not the verbal people-oriented approach in ancient times, but the true people-oriented approach that came later.
Later, when Li Zhi had a headache and Wu Zetian was reviewing memorials, Shangguan Wan'er would always stay by his side and help her with advice. Until Wu Zetian and Li Zhi were called the Two Saints, Shangguan Wan'er was imprisoned in the deep palace.
"Wan'er, you are too smart. You are so smart that it's scary. I love you but I'm also afraid of you."
Wu Zetian's well-maintained hands stroked Shangguan Wan'er's face: "Look, you are so beautiful, but you always show yourself to others in a mediocre appearance. What are you afraid of?
With your intelligence and looks, you can fight for the position of queen, what a pity..."
Shangguan Wan'er was not angry even though she was imprisoned in the deep palace. She had known that this day would come.
"Mei Niang, you are destined to be the emperor. This is history, and no one can change it. Mei Niang, don't forget what I told you."
The next day, Shangguan Wan'er died of poisoning in prison. She had prepared the poison in advance and hid it in her mouth.
She knew that she would be imprisoned until her death. Rather than being imprisoned and dying of old age, it would be better for her to die first and suffer less.
Even when Wu Zetian imprisoned her, she was only locked up in the deep palace, not allowing her to go out or have contact with others. But all her other food, clothing and other necessities were the best.
"Is this the freedom you mentioned? This deep palace makes you so disgusted..." Wu Zetian looked up and saw a row of wild geese flying across the sky without stopping.
"Your humble servant Shangguan Wan'er pays respects to the Queen Mother of Heaven."
"Shangguan Wan'er... raise your head."
"You are not her... From now on, how about staying in the palace and being my lady-in-waiting?"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
