Chapter 334 Invitation to Perform
Liu Lan had never heard of Princess Huayang. She said in a positive tone,
"There was no princess named Huayang in the Western Han Dynasty."
Tian Yafu laughed at Lin Zhi and said, "I'm not exaggerating. This girl knows the history of the Han Dynasty very well. Her knowledge is better than you and me."
Lin Zhi was indeed more satisfied with Liu Man in his heart, "Princess Huayang is a character made up by Yafu to increase the conflict of the plot."
Tian Yafu told Liu Man, "According to my original script, Huhanye Chanyu asked the emperor for marriage, but the emperor's princesses were unwilling, and he himself did not want to marry his daughter to such a far place. Then he set his sights on the women of the clan and powerful officials. The clan and powerful officials were afraid to avoid him. Finally, he had to find women from the cold palace and the people to marry on his behalf, and then Wang Zhaojun took the initiative to ask for marriage."
Liu Lan nodded and said that it was true history.
Tian Yafu continued, "Wang Zhaojun was so beautiful that she captivated the whole country. Huhanye Chanyu fell in love with her at first sight. Even though he knew she was not a real princess, he was still willing to marry her sincerely."
"But," he turned around and looked at Liu Lan with a hint of gratitude, "the story you told the elderly tour group inspired me. Wang Zhaojun had just come out of the cold palace, so she must have looked haggard and thin. Huhanye Chanyu was a great hero after all. He had seen all kinds of beauties. How could he suddenly fall in love with her?"
"So I started to modify the script from here and added a female supporting role - Princess Huayang. She was the emperor's favorite princess, beautiful, dignified, and talented. Huhanye Chanyu fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to marry her the most. But the emperor disagreed, so he had to marry Wang Zhaojun, whom he despised, unwillingly."
...
...
"From Chang'an all the way back to the Xiongnu, as the two of them got along, Wang Zhaojun's thoughtfulness and perseverance moved Huhanye Chanyu, and he gradually fell in love with Wang Zhaojun. In an environment of luxury, Wang Zhaojun's appearance also returned to her beautiful appearance before she was sent to the cold palace. Huhanye Chanyu regarded her as a treasure. As for the former Princess Huayang, in Huhanye Chanyu's heart, she only turned into a vague memory."
"The emperor's several princesses were originally minor roles, and only appeared once at the state banquet. After I revised the script, Princess Huayang was promoted to the third female supporting role. Princess Huayang has a scene where she plays the guqin, and you can play the guqin, and you have some acting experience. In director Ye Zian's new film, your performance is very outstanding. I discussed it with Director Lin and think that you are very suitable for the characteristics of the role of Princess Huayang."
Tian Yafu was afraid that Liu Lan would "disdain" the supporting role and refuse to act in the role like she did last time, which would be embarrassing for him, so he particularly emphasized that Princess Huayang was a supporting actress with a lot of scenes. It can even be said that Princess Huayang was a role tailor-made for Liu Lan by Tian Yafu.
Now Lin Zhi was also present, she couldn't just ignore Lin Zhi's face, Lin Zhi's status in the film industry was much higher than Ye Zi'an's. When casting for "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace", those female stars were fighting for a small supporting role, and some people came to Lin Zhi to ask for help, but Lin Zhi closed the door and refused to see them.
He felt that he and Lin Zhi had taken a very humble approach in their "seeking talents" approach. After all, Liu Lan was not even a real actor. They chose her because of her talent.
Unexpectedly, Liu Lan looked hesitant and seemed to want to refuse again.
Tian Yafu quickly said, "You can think about it first."
Lin Zhi smiled. With his current status, except for domestic film emperors and actresses and international celebrities, basically no one would refuse his invitation. Even if they already have other work arrangements, they would rather pay the penalty and star in his movie. They regard it as an honor.
On the night when Zhong Jiangnan and Liu Lan finished taking the model photos, he had a quick meeting with Lin Zhi at the film and television base. He handed the men's Hanfu "Wenyuan" to Lin Zhi personally, and showed him the Hanfu model photos of "Han Gong Qiuyue".
Lin Zhi was attracted by the classical temperament of the model in the photo at first sight. She was a girl like "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace". He learned her name from Zhong Jiangnan. A day later, he heard the same name from Tian Yafu. Both of them praised her highly. How could he not have a deep impression of her?
"Can you tell me why you don't want to act in my play? Do you have any opinion about me?" Lin Zhi asked her.
Liu Lan quickly said, "No, no, no, I don't have any opinion on you. I am mainly considering that school is about to start and I am afraid that I won't have time."
"Oh, this can be coordinated. We can move all your scenes to the front, so it won't affect your studies," Lin Zhi had a good impression of the child who was determined to study.
The big director has said so much, if Liu Lan still doesn't agree, it would be really ungrateful. She also knows very well that after starring in Lin Zhi's movie, her career will be much smoother and she will be able to earn more money whether she is an internet celebrity or an actor.
