This Emperor is Only An Actor

Because the movie "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" was filmed by Yue Guan and Yang Xue in person, they have a special relationship.

In addition, it was also the first time for them to see the finished product, so the more they watched, the more they went up, and they saw the second half of the night in one breath.

After seeing this "power drama" in which Wu Zetian entered the palace, Yue Guan said with emotion: "Even if this drama is broadcast on other TV stations for free, the ratings are not necessarily high. Although the plot is realistic, it is too realistic. I guess some viewers won't like it."

Yang Xue nodded: "It is undeniable that many viewers really prefer to watch Mary Su's love drama."

Some audiences just like to watch pure emotional dramas.

For example, in "Game of Thrones", the seven princes and the seven princes and concubines know each other and trust each other wholeheartedly.

That is the feeling that many viewers dream of.

Yue Guan and Qin Lan have countless fans because of that emotional drama.

And Li Zhi and Wu Zetian in "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" are destined not to get these fans.

Because the relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian is not as pure as the seven princes and concubines portrayed in "Game of Thrones".

Although "Game of Thrones" is also a drama, the Seventh Prince and Seventh Prince's Concubine are deliberately beautified and processed.

But most of the script of "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" is described according to historical facts, so the love between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian is not perfect.

Wu Zetian lost her aura of empress and became a chess piece of Li Zhiquan's plan.

And their feelings have also become an accessory behind the power struggle.

Such a plot will attract some fans who like to watch official history and plots, but it will lose many fans who like to watch emotional dramas.

"In terms of performance, "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" will definitely not be the opponent of "Game of Thrones", but in fact, dramas like "Game of Thrones" can explode anywhere, but "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" is actually more powerful. It is suitable for this kind of paid channel, if you like it, you will especially like it, and you will not hesitate to pay for this kind of drama."

"So "Apex of the Tang Dynasty" belongs to the kind of TV series that you told me before, which clearly targets the audience, rather than a TV series that kills?" Yang Xue asked.

Yue Guan nodded: "Yes, "Game of Thrones" can basically be a hit. Men, women, and children like to watch it. When I wrote the script, I specially investigated their preferences. All the elements they like are basically included in it. War, conspiracy, love, brotherhood... will always let them find the plot they like to watch. "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" is different. This drama is too historical and factual, and it will lose some audiences who come for love dramas and light-hearted and funny plots , especially the second half."

This is also impossible.

Yueguan is willing to compromise with the market.

However, "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" has no way to compromise.

Because in the later period, Li Zhi was indeed ill, and the script couldn't write that Li Zhi was still healthy and invincible.

Before Li Zhi was alive, he had indeed been in control of the country's military and political power, and he was unrivaled in strength. Wu Zetian was indeed a docile wife before his death, without the slightest domineering power of an empress.

But in this case, many viewers who came to Wu Zetian may not necessarily like this drama.

There is no way to compromise on these things, otherwise the quality of the show "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" cannot be guaranteed.

Yueguan could only make a choice.

It is broadcast on premium channels, so that audiences who are willing to watch the real drama and accept the historical facts can watch it.

A play does not have to conquer everyone.

As long as you can conquer a specific group, you can actually make a profit, which means that there is a market for this kind of drama.

"In the future, I will do two more dramas. The genre is similar to "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" and "Game of Thrones". One can basically kill all audiences, and the other can only conquer specific audiences. Many times I really have to do it. Such a choice cannot be forced."

Yue Guan was talking about "In the Name of the People" and "Long Night is Difficult to Understand".

"In the Name of the People" is universally applicable and highly universal.

But no matter how "Long Night is Difficult to Understand" is changed, those who don't like heavy themes still don't like it.

Therefore, there is no need to change.

To achieve the ultimate in the field that can radiate, niche types can also shine.

"You acted in both plays?"

"Well, challenge two completely different characters, one is a good guy who is extremely good, and the other is a villain full of evil."

No matter how much grievance Qi Tongwei has suffered before, he must be damned for what he has done, and there is nothing wrong with bad guys.

Yang Xue was surprised: "You used to play mostly neutral roles, right? Are you starting to break through now?"

"I always have to step out of my comfort zone, and I can't fix myself, especially when I'm still so young."

Once an actor's acting path is fixed, no matter how good his acting skills are, he is easily underestimated or even ignored.

For example, there may not be much difference between Xu Zheng and Huang Bo's peak acting skills, but in the minds of many audiences, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo are not at the same level in terms of acting skills.

Because Xu Zheng's play path is fixed-midlife crisis.

But Huang Bo is very malleable and can act in anything.

Naturally, Huang Bo is a notch higher in the eyes of many people.

By the way, this is what Wang Jing said in "Tucao Conference", don't talk to me.

In fact, Yue Guan has not yet been recognized by the audience as an actor with a fixed path. He can only play a certain role, but he still has to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

When the audience really starts to discuss this issue on a large scale, it will be too late to change it.

For example, Jin Dong...

Jin Dong's acting skills are not bad, but he has played too many middle-aged elite men, and the audience thinks that he is that kind of elite in everything he plays.

Later, the leader removed the oil, and Jin Dong did not remove the essence.

Yueguan didn't want to do the same.

Yang Xue didn't know what Yue Guan was thinking, she just said with emotion: "Yue Guan, you are so talented and work so hard, how can you let others live."

"Aren't you living well?" Yue Guan said with a smile.

"You and I have no competitive relationship." Yang Xue said: "Since your debut, you haven't even had a bad movie. Every movie is a masterpiece. The success rate is too scary, and you are still not satisfied."

"Of course I can't be satisfied. Although I have acted in many plays as masterpieces, I have not acted to the point of being unique and irreplaceable."

Yang Xue: "...Boss, isn't your request a bit high?"

"Being a person always has a dream. After "Fengshen" was broadcast, I thought Di Xin would become the second irreplaceable role in my acting career, but Di Xin did not get such a big recognition, which made me a little disappointed .”

"That's because the Heavenly Emperor you portrayed is too much for the show. After the "Fengshen" trilogy is all released, the role of Di Xin should be completely established." Yang Xue said.

Yue Guan nodded.

He didn't expect that because one person played two roles, and his Heavenly Emperor played too well, the role of Di Xin would not get enough recognition.

Only the last two parts can continue to work hard.

But what is lost is the mulberry elm harvested in the east.

"The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" was as expected by Yue Guan, and the results were not too big.

But Li Zhi played by him has been highly praised by almost everyone:

After Yueguan, there was no Li Zhi.
