據好萊塢記者報道，HBO魔幻巨制《權力的游戲》的制片人將根據中國歷史上唯一的女皇武則天的生活，制作一部新的歷史題材的美劇。

Christopher Newman, the brain behind Game, has signed a deal with Starlight Media and K. Jam Media to develop and create 13-episode drama Empress. Starlight Media will fully finance the series, estimated at $70 million, and is reported to shop the project from K. Jam Media to broadcast networks after completion.
《權力的游戲》的制片人克里斯托弗?紐曼已經與星光傳媒和K. Jam Media簽約，共同開發(fā)和制作《中國女皇》，第一季一共13集。星光傳媒將全額投資該劇集，預算為7000萬美元，據稱還將在劇集完成后從K. Jam Media購買版權，在網絡上播出。

Production is set to begin in Sichuan province in late 2017, with a premiere scheduled for 2018.
該劇計劃于2017年下半年在四川省開拍，預計于2018年首播。

Wu Zetian, China's only empress in history, was ruler of the country during the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-906). Wu was known for her wit and intelligence along with her ruthlessness and desire to achieve ultimate power regardless of means. The series will follow her rise to the top through the court of Emperor Taizong as his favorite concubine.
中國歷史上唯一的女皇武則天是中國唐代（公元618-906年）的一位統(tǒng)治者。武則天以其聰明機智和殘酷無情，以及不擇手段獲得最高權力而著稱。該劇集將沿著武則天作為唐太宗最寵幸的妃子，如何一步步走向權力的巔峰而展開。

Newman will executively produce the series alongside Starlight Media chairman Xu Yan, CEO Peter Luo and Beely Lee, as well as K. Jam CEO Kia Jam.
紐曼將與星光傳媒董事長顏旭、首席執(zhí)行官Peter Luo和Beely Lee，以及K. Jam的首席執(zhí)行官Kia Jam共同制作該劇集。

顏旭在一份聲明中表示：“我非常高興宣布這一合作伙伴關系，并期待與這個優(yōu)秀的創(chuàng)作團隊共同努力，把女皇武則天的故事帶給全球觀眾。”

"My partner Chris and I have already started to assemble a world-class team and are thrilled to be in business with our friends at Starlight Media. The story of the empress is a story of intrigue, history and power that provides a deep storytelling well that we hope will have numerous seasons to follow," Jam added.
Jam補充道：“我和搭檔克里斯已經開始召集一個世界級的團隊，也很激動能與星光傳媒的朋友合作。女皇的故事里陰謀、歷史和權力交織，其中有很多故事，我們希望能拍很多季。”

Starlight Media is a US-based company founded by Xu in 2013. K. Jam Media is an independent film and TV production company based in Los Angeles. Newman, aside from his work in Game of Thrones, has worked on Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace, Notting Hill and Love Actually.
