I'm just an actor

Even if they want to shoot, the capital and practitioners would rather focus on Li Shimin and Wu Zetian. Li Zhi is always the little transparent who is ignored.

But Yueguan discovered Li Zhi's story.

Then Li Zhi's story was filmed.

Then, it's really nice to watch.

"There are also problems. The official position system in the Tang Dynasty is too messy and difficult to remember." Yang Xue complained: "It is not as clear and easy to understand as in "Game of Thrones."

In "Game of Thrones", Prime Minister Zhuge is placed there, and the audience knows that he is under one person and above ten thousand when they see his prime minister's title.

But during the Tang Dynasty, there was no prime minister in name.

Among the six ministries of the three provinces, the boss of the three provinces is the de facto prime minister.

Later, Li Shimin got a third grade under Tongzhongshu's family. This official position is also the actual prime minister.

Let's put it this way, in the early Tang Dynasty, the prime minister was worthless at all.

Changsun Wuji was the prime minister, Chu Suiliang was the prime minister, and even Li Ji, who had always belonged to the group of generals, was also the prime minister later.

But their official positions vary.

The power of the prime minister is divided into multiple shares, which makes it impossible to confront the monarchy at all. This is Li Shimin's cleverness.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, in order to take back the power from Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the first person to intervene was also the actual power of the prime minister.

Li Shimin has already divided up the power of the prime minister, but Li Zhi made a "super double" on the basis of Li Shimin.

This card is much better than Grandpa Lu's.

Li Zhi invented an official position called Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhangshi, which was also the prime minister, and then Li Zhi arranged a group of his trusted cronies in the Eastern Palace period.

Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang are still big bosses.

But there are a few newcomers who are theoretically equal to them.

They have nothing to object to yet.

It seemed that Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang had the highest status in the court. They were senior, prestigious and of high status, and they were not comparable to young people.

But after a long time, everyone is the prime minister, and I am still the emperor's confidant, why should I lower you?

At the level of the prime minister, one radish and one pit.

If you want to work hard to climb up, you have to kill the bosses above.

Without the help of the emperor, these new prime ministers would definitely not be able to defeat Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

However, they had help from the emperor.

As a result, a group of new prime ministers began to favor pigs, subtly weakening the power of Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

This method was a conspiracy, and Li Ji, who was a general, chose to resign and run away in a short time.

Brother, who leads troops to fight, can't beat you guys who play with pens, can't you afford to provoke or hide?

So Li Ji withdrew.

Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji are still strong.

The next unlucky one was Chu Suiliang.

Who made him easier to deal with than Changsun Wuji.

Someone falsely accused Chu Suiliang of lowering the price of the land. Li Zhi asked people to check it briefly, and then demoted Chu Suiliang as the governor of Tongzhou.

Then, his cronies quickly rose to power, replacing Chu Suiliang's position in the court.

At this time, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Changsun Wuji, basically had the final say on Li Zhi alone.

Li Shimin left Li Zhi with two half-hearted ministers: Li Ji resigned himself, Chu Suiliang was demoted, and Changsun Wuji independently supported him, but there were already seven or eight prime ministers.

Except for Changsun Wuji, all the prime ministers belonged to Li Zhi.

At this time, Li Zhi had only been on the throne for one year.

In the absence of any violent conflict, he quietly completed the control of the court by boiling the frog in warm water in a subtle way.

This kind of imperial mind is in stark contrast to the weeping Li Zhi before he ascended the throne.

Seeing this, Yang Xue was very emotional: "Although I still can't remember those official positions, I can still tell that Li Zhi is very powerful. A young man in his early twenties can control a group of elites. This kind of emperor is unprecedented in history." Is it a lot?"

"The most important thing is not only to control these ministers, but also to make the world govern well. To be honest, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty also played very well with his imperial mind, and he also had a strong control over the court. But when it comes to governing the world—Jiajing was hanged up and beaten by Li Zhi.”

Jiajing only focused on the attribute of internal fighting, not the attribute of governing the country. He only knew the art of manipulating people's hearts, but he didn't know how to govern the country and stabilize the people.

In addition to being able to control the court, Li Zhi still does not pull his hips in the attributes of governing the country.

Moreover, Li Zhi's martial arts are even stronger than Wen Zhi.

In the second year after Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Western Turks invaded the border of Tang Dynasty again.

At this time, Li Zhi had basically completed the integration of forces in the court, and his monarchy had been strengthened unprecedentedly. However, Li Shimin, who was the Khan of Heaven, passed away, and he had not yet proved his martial arts.

When the opportunity came, Li Zhi did not let it go, and ordered Liang Jianfang, the general of Zuo Wuhou, and Qibi Heli, the general of You Xiaowei, to lead 3 Tang troops and 5 Huihe cavalry to send troops to defeat the Western Turks and kill more than 9000 people. .

When Tian Khan passed away, the Sifang barbarians were ready to move, and the successor Tang Wang used practical actions to defend the honor of Datang, and also made Sifang Xiaoxiao understand one thing:

Your uncle is still your uncle!

This is Li Zhi's achievements within two years of his ascension to the throne.

And Li Zhi didn't just do this.

The matter of Wu Zetian, along with these political struggles, began to advance step by step.

"The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" does not focus on portraying the love story between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. On the contrary, this drama reinterprets the history of Wu Zetian's ascendancy with tactics.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, Wu Zetian had been working as a nun in Ganye Temple. Li Zhi made it very clear that he never mentioned his little mother.

After Li Ji resigned and Chu Suiliang was demoted, and he basically took control of the court, Li Zhi took Wu Zetian back to the palace.

Note that at this time only the palace was taken back.

After Liang Jianfang and Qibi Heli appointed by him defeated the Turks and made military exploits, Li Zhi appointed Wu Zetian as Zhaoyi.

Behind every step in Wu Zetian's superior history, it represents that Li Zhi's monarchy has been further strengthened.

This is not a love story.

This is the growth history of an emperor.

Chapter 448 The second natal character [3960 monthly ticket plus update]

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."
