January 1, 2005, New Year’s Day, Yinacai

Cao Xuan came to Hong Kong with some members of the "New World" crew. After two brief script and makeup setting meetings, filming started directly.

Fan Xiaopang was wearing an OL uniform, with a ponytail and gold-rimmed glasses. It was originally a very intellectual and aloof outfit, but when she wore it, it somehow brought a bit of fun and temptation.

This character is the connector of the male protagonist Li Zicheng played by Cao Xuan. In the original version, she was a female police officer, but this version has made some changes.

After all, there is a plot in the later part of the plot where this woman is tortured and killed, and from the perspective of the policewoman, she did nothing wrong and can be regarded as loyal to her duties. If we still follow the original version, the "justice" of the male protagonist will be greatly compromised.

In fact, Cao Xuan thought it didn't matter. After all, the male protagonist couldn't really be a white lotus, but the key was that he couldn't pass the trial.

So Fan Xiaopang's identity has changed. She is no longer a pure righteous policeman, but has been bribed by the forces behind the villain's boss and an associate of the villain.

In this way, even if it's a side shot, the plot logic remains unchanged, but it will be much more comfortable from the third-party perspective of the audience.

Fan Xiaopang doesn't have many roles. He is more of a clue-type character. He plays the role of threading the needle in the early stages. The main focus of the later scenes is also the performance of the male protagonist Li Zicheng, and he does not have a big role in himself.

The entire movie "The New World" is a man's drama through and through.

Fan Xiaopang is the heroine in name. If we carefully count her appearances, she may not even be able to compare with the fifth male lead.

However, Fan Xiaopang is still very satisfied. Before Huayi, apart from the "Mobile Phone" that he struggled to obtain, he had almost no access to major commercial film resources.

No matter how few scenes she has in "New World", many popular young stars will not be able to get it, let alone "Xiu Chun Dao 2" after her.

Happiness is sometimes expressed through comparison...

This is not the first time Cao Xuan and Fan Xiaopang have acted. Their first collaboration dates back to 1998 in "Little Li's Flying Knife". However, at that time, both roles were supporting roles, with few roles and almost no direct rivalry.

.

Times have changed, and compared to when the two were still young, their business skills have improved a lot now.

Needless to say, Cao Xuan has been awarded the title of Emperor of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, and was nominated for the Golden Horse twice. He has the highest reputation among the new generation of actors.

In fact, Fan Xiaopang is also good at acting. Although he is not from a major, Fan Xiaopang actually studies a lot in private.

According to Cao Xuan's understanding, when she was filming "Beauty's Scheming", Mrs. Zeng went to visit the cast, and she even asked Empress Xigong that she wanted to further her studies in Chinese opera.

I don’t know whether he really wants to improve his acting skills or is deliberately trying to please the great beauty Zeng, but the current professional level of Fan Xiaopang is really not bad, and it can even be said to be slowly improving.

It’s hard to say that it’s a high-difficulty or deep-level character, but it’s not difficult for her to play a medium or lower difficulty level.

At least Cao Xuan compared Da Meiyuan with her and was more willing to vote for Fan Xiaopang.

In this regard, Cao Xuan must give some fair words to the big flowers.

Although each has its own shortcomings, the business level is at least above the standard, even excellent.

Even though some of the later works were stretched out or even badly staged, when they encountered good works, they were still able to perform at a high level.

In contrast, their juniors, some 85-year-olds and 90-year-olds without mentioning names, are obviously not as good as their predecessors in terms of business.

There are very few people who can step out of their comfort zone and reach a certain level, which is why they rarely win important awards despite their high traffic.

Of course, there are many objective reasons such as lack of film resources, suppression by predecessors, and different times and circumstances that cannot be ignored.

But it is a recognized fact that the overall acting skills are not as good as those of the predecessors, and even later generations are somewhat overtaken by the 95 and 00 generations of florets.

I don’t blame everyone for laughing at me. Even the seniors and juniors can’t beat me. It’s really embarrassing...

As a boss and a professional actor, Cao Xuan naturally hopes that each of his artists can be independent in their business abilities, but he also knows that he cannot force it.

Like Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Tianxian is positioned as a top-notch vase, while Fan Xiaopang and Damimi are taking the route of commercial actresses. If you insist on letting them become veteran drama stars and movie queens, aren't they making themselves uncomfortable?

.

Cao Xuan's previous physical examination indicators were quite normal, and he did not want to give himself the experience of high blood pressure, heart disease, etc.

Of course, if they can go beyond their own position, try their best to improve their acting skills, achieve transformation after their peak, and extend their artistic life, Cao Xuan will also be very happy.

After several scenes, Cao Xuan and Cao Xuan got a chance to rest temporarily, and Fan Xiaopang asked nervously.

"Boss, your acting is okay."

In the past, when facing her boss at Huayi and other companies, she had worried about resources, hidden rules and income.

But it's a little different in Fanxing. She never has to worry about resources. She thinks about the unspoken rules. Boss Cao ignores her. She earns income from commercial endorsements. After "Beauty's Scheming" became a hit, she has not been idle and is making money crazily.

Although the company has to take the lion's share, the remaining income is also very considerable. It is no exaggeration to say that these two months are much more than what she earned in Huayi in a year.

At the same time, this also indirectly consolidated her position among the stars.

Again, there is no shortage of celebrities or good actors among the stars, but there is a shortage of people like Fan Xiaopang who can make money and are willing to work hard to make money.

Jiang Yue, the head of the artist management department, almost asked Fan Xiaopang to surrender.

Unfortunately, she had been waiting for several years to find such a general who could make money crazily and obey orders.

Jiang Yue, who has basically retreated behind the scenes in the past two years and has taken charge of the overall situation, returned to the world and personally served as Fan Xiaopang's agent, which shows how much she values ​​Fan Xiaopang.

Fan Xiaopang is also getting along like a fish in water among the stars, and has the upper hand with Gao Yuanyuan and Dong Xuan. Although Liu Tianxian has made a name for himself with "Legend of Sword and Fairy", his age and background are still young, so he cannot threaten her yet.

One of the few troublesome things is that Boss Cao will ask about her business from time to time.

Especially since she and Cao Xuan are now in a cooperative period, she worries about her poor performance every day, and even feels vaguely like the head teacher checking her homework when she goes to school a few minutes early.

Not to mention, when Cao Xuan first met her on the set of "Little Li Fei Dao", he had set up an extracurricular tutoring class, and Fan Xiaopang was the first student.

To a certain extent, the two of them are "reliving old dreams"...

"Good acting, don't be nervous, I don't eat people."

Cao Xuan blew on the jujubes, wolfberries, and ginseng slices floating in the thermos cup, and drank a few drinks of water with satisfaction.

Because of the incident with Sister Zhiling and his coming to Hong Kong, Hu Jing and Beauty Zeng, who had returned to Beijing from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", teamed up to exploit him for several days.

Even though Cao Daguan has a good foundation, he still feels a little weak. In the past few days, he has started to do some regular maintenance projects, and occasionally goes to the secret restaurant introduced by Cheng Long.

To be honest, the review of some supplements in Hong Kong is far less stringent than in the Mainland.

Cao Xuan saw a lot of interesting things and understood why those wealthy people in Hong Kong were so majestic. He planned to collect some later for future use.

Boss Cao in the company and Cao Xuan on the crew have two different attitudes. The latter is more friendly and casual. Otherwise, acting like a boss every day will easily create psychological barriers for rival actors.

Fan Xiaopang was reassured by Cao Xuan and put away some of his worries. She is a person with high emotional intelligence and is extremely good at communication. When communicating with her, you will get a very relaxed chat atmosphere.

"Boss, I heard that you won 200,000 from Director Feng at XX Club a few days ago."

"Where did you hear that?"

"You don't have to listen to this, it's spread all over the world."

There is no woman who doesn't like to gossip, and Fan Xiaopang is no exception. When talking about this matter, his eyebrows can't help but jump.

"I heard, I heard from outside, that you bosses had a party together at XX club, and then you won 200,000 from Mr. Wang and Director Feng, as if you were trying to stand up for Lin Zhiling from Taiwan Province.

Later, he gave her 200,000 won, antique paintings and a Rolex worth hundreds of thousands, and it was rumored that she was your new love..."

When it comes to this point, Fan Xiaopang is a little bit bitter. She has been very good in front of Cao Xuan before, but the result is not as good as a young model from Taiwan.

What's so great about her is that her legs are longer and thinner.

I'm not bad either, I'm prettier than her, fairer than her, and older than her. Is it possible that I lose because I don't have her cuteness?

Cao Xuan vomited out a date core and asked him why Dongxi Ergong had such a huge reaction in the past few days, and why the emotions were so outrageous.

"Boss, I'm just curious. It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Did you really get angry and change your beauty that day?"

Fan Xiaopang was scratching her head. She accepted the loss to the East and West Palaces. It was a relationship at the end of her life. She only blamed herself for not discovering this super potential stock in advance.

But she was really dissatisfied with losing to Sister Zhiling.

They haven't succeeded in getting so many actresses from the mainland, so why should they let a Taiwanese girl who only knows how to be cute get her beard cut off?

"There are rumors that we are having a son. Why don't you ask your brother to call me dad?"

Cao Xuan retorted back angrily, but Fan Xiaopang was not angry, but smiled happily.

She just said it, not to mention the vixens from the outside world, female artists like Fanxing were close to the stage, but she failed, and Gao Yuanyuan was rejected several times.

If Lin Zhiling could win over Cao Xuan with just a few words in a provincial accent, she would have become Empress Nangong...

When he was in a good mood, Fan Xiaopang boldly joked with Cao Xuan with a playful smile: "If you don't mind it, I can ask my brother to recognize you as my godfather later."

Although there is a bit of a seniority difference, if he really finds such a godfather, this child and Fan Xiaopang will not have to worry about it in the next life.

"Go away, you just call me daddy."

"I dare to call. Do you dare to answer?"

Fan Xiaopang looked at Cao Xuan with a hint of provocation and expectation. Boss Cao said calmly: "Do you know how many people around me are from your Sister Li and Sister Jing?"

Fan Xiaopang, who had a hot look in his eyes just now, was immediately frightened: "Just kidding, I always only regard you as my boss and brother, and I never have any evil intentions."

Cao Xuan sneered back: "Haha."

………

After a few words to deal with this little goblin who was greedy for his own body, Cao Xuan ignored Fan Xiaopang and took out his laptop to surf the Internet.

I go around the Penguin blog hot list every day and find a few new blogs that are on the top.

The first is the news that the domestic box office of "Kung Fu", which is still in theaters, has exceeded 160 million.
