When Chu Xuan opened the door, Liu Yifei walked in happily.
She stood up to Chu Xuan and said, "Brother Chenglong said that I acted well, and Director Chen also said that I acted well, how about that?"
Chu Xuan raised a smile, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Awesome."
Liu Yifei smiled sweetly. Yang Tianzhen's door was open, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look.
Seeing Yang Tianzhen taking the luggage and leaving Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei was surprised and said: "Sister Tianzhen, are you leaving?"
Yang Tianzhen nodded and said: "I have something to do in Shenghai."
After saying that, Yang Tianzhen winked at Liu Yifei and said, "I just don't want to disturb you two. I'm full too. I also want to change the environment for a while."
Hearing what Yang Tianzhen said, a smile slowly appeared in Liu Yifei's eyes, then she hugged Chu Xuan and turned to Yang Tianzhen and said, "Let's go quickly."
Yang Tianzhen shook his head: "You won."
…
…
In the afternoon.
After Yang Tianzhen got off the plane from Shenghai Airport, she rushed to a company.
Sister Hua called her yesterday and said she wanted to take her to a meeting to observe and practice.
Moreover, this meeting seems to be related to Chu Xuan's next drama.
——Shenghai Tangren Film and Television Company.
"Mr. Wang, Sister Hua." Wang Jinhua came to a reception room and said hello.
Yang Tianzhen and Wang Zhonglei, one of the two bosses of Huayi, nodded slightly.
Wang Zhonglei put down his crossed legs and said gently as always: "Let's go, everyone is here."
Wang Jinhua stood up and waved to Yang Tianzhen. Yang Tianzhen put down his salute and followed Wang Jinhua and Wang Zhonglei to the conference room.
The conference room is not big and there are not many people sitting there.
Yang Tianzhen looked at it and was slightly shocked.
She has been following Sister Hua for a while, and she has seen photos and gotten to know some of the big names in the industry.
If her impression was correct, the people in the conference room were not only at the top of the industry, they were also well-known figures at the top of the industry, and they were also part of the capital.
After Wang Zhonglei and Wang Jinhua walked in, the people sitting stood up to greet them and shook hands with each other with smiles on their faces.
After a brief greeting, everyone sat down on both sides of the long table.
As an assistant, Yang Tianzhen naturally cannot take the chair.
Tang Ren's staff moved a chair for her, and she sat behind Wang Jinhua.
"Look, just listen and don't talk." Wang Jinhua turned her head and said softly, and handed Yang Tianzhen a document.
After taking it, Yang Tianzhen nodded to Wang Jinhua to express her understanding.
Then, she looked at the contents of the file on her own.
——"The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
This is the name of a TV series in the file.
Yang Tianzhen suddenly realized that the purpose of this meeting must be to discuss matters related to this TV series.
Look down.
Jingcheng Huayi, Jingcheng Shengtang, Wenzhou TV Drama Production Center...the names of five companies came into view.
Yang Tianzhen understands, these are the five major investors in this drama, with a total investment of 21 million at present.
Look further down.
This drama is co-produced by Shenghai Tangren.
Yang Tianzhen understood. No wonder the meeting was held here in Shenghai. It was obvious that Huayi was the biggest among these companies. If they wanted to have a meeting, they had to go to Beijing Huayi. It turned out that Tang Ren Company was the production company.
At this time, the staff poured everyone a cup of hot tea and then left.
The next moment, one of the investors, Mr. Qi, took the lead and said, "Brothers and sisters, why don't you speak?"
Wang Zhonglei glanced at Mr. Qi and said, "Mr. Qi, why don't you talk first?"
Mr. Qi looked around and saw that no one was speaking, so he was not polite.
He crossed his arms and said: "After our five-party joint venture in the past few months, whether it was wrangling with the game company in Baodao, settling the crew's affairs, or establishing the project, we each contributed bits and pieces and spent a few hours.
Months of time. Now everything is ready, all that's left is the actors."
When it came time to get down to business, everyone became a little more serious.
Mr. Qi glanced at Tang Ren's Cai Yinong, then at Huayi's Wang Zhonglei, and said: "In our five-party company, only Mr. Wang's Huayi and Mr. Cai's Tang Ren have artists under their banners. According to the rules, both
You are the investor. If you want to arrange your own artists to be the male and female protagonists, as long as it is beneficial to the TV series, I have no objection to who you arrange to be the male and female protagonists."
Wang Zhonglei remained calm and still had a gentle look on his face.
Wang Jinhua's expression remained unchanged, with a slight smile on her face.
Cai Yinong glanced at Wang Zhonglei and then at Wang Jinhua. She frowned slightly, wondering what she was thinking.
Mr. Qi held back a glance at several people, and finally looked at Cai Yinong, saying: "At that time, I remember Mr. Cai mentioned it to me, saying that she had an artist under her banner who was suitable to be the male lead, and his name was..."
"Hu Ge." Cai Yinong said.
"Yes, Hu Ge." Mr. Qi nodded and said: "At that time, the TV series was still in the early preparation stage and it was not time to cast the characters. I also forgot about it for a while. Mr. Cai, don't mind."
Cai Yinong smiled and shook his head.
Mr. Qi looked at Wang Zhonglei and said: "Now there is a problem. Considering that the filming of this drama will start in May, Huayi can come up with an actor who is suitable for the male protagonist [Li Xiaoyao] and has a schedule.
Chu Xuan; Mr. Cai has a Hu Ge."
Mr. Qi glanced at both parties and said, "If I had to choose one of these two actors to be the male lead, I would choose Chu Xuan."
Mr. Qi looked at everyone, crossed his legs, and said, "I'm done, please express your opinions."
Wang Zhonglei and Wang Jinhua did not speak.
Cai Yinong was a little embarrassed, but his expression remained unchanged and he said to Wang Jinhua: "Isn't Chu Xuan making a movie?"
Wang Jinhua smiled lightly: "It can be completed in April."
Cai Yinong looked at the other two bosses again, wanting to see their opinions.
A Tang manager said: "Since we exclude foreigners first, and we can only choose between Chu Xuan and Hu Ge, I choose Chu Xuan."
"Chu Xuan." Another Mr. Liu said concisely and comprehensively.
The corner of Cai Yinong's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he was speechless for a moment, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.
But she found that the current Hu Ge was really unable to fight against the current Chu Xuan.
"Mr. Cai." Mr. Qi spoke up again, "I can understand your mood of cultivating artists, but movies and TV dramas have to focus on efficiency. Hu Ge has acted in one drama, but his popularity seems not to be good. He is just like a newcomer.
.You asked Hu Ge to be the male protagonist, and I probably guessed what you were thinking."
Mr. Qi put down his legs, put his hands on the table, and said to Cai Yinong: "Do you want Hu Ge to be the male protagonist and then find a popular female protagonist? If this drama becomes popular, Hu Ge will also
Take advantage of the popularity of this heroine, right?"
Cai Yinong remained silent.
If a newcomer is the protagonist, it’s strange to be popular.
Numerous facts have proven that audiences are not interested in dramas starring new actors at first because they don’t know you at all.
Unless there is someone with a high position to support this newcomer.
She did have this idea to let Hu Ge be the protagonist, and then find a popular actress to act as a co-star, and then cut more scenes for Hu Ge in the later stage, but she didn't expect that Mr. Qi would guess it.
Seeing that Cai Yinong remained silent, Mr. Qi shook his head and said: "As a pure investor, from my point of view, if Chu Xuan is the male protagonist and an actress who is similar to him is found to be the female protagonist, what will happen to this movie?
It is very likely that the drama will become a hit before it is aired, and perhaps the drama can be directly supported by these two actors."
"Agree." Mr. Liu nodded.
"This is a good idea." Mr. Tang also agreed.
"Why do I say that this drama is [supported]?" Mr. Qi looked at director Li Guoli and said: "Director Li, I don't know how your writing team did it. There are some plots in the script that I can't understand.
It’s eye-catching, it’s so different from the plot of the game, it’s a completely new story, and in my opinion, this drama is just trying to cover up the game’s name.”
Director Li smiled helplessly and said: "Mr. Qi, it is difficult to adapt a game to a film and television script. No one has done this before. It is already very laborious to write a relatively complete story."
Mr. Qi glanced at him and said, "Okay, that doesn't matter. No matter how many game fans there are, there will never be enough viewers. We just need to find a way to make more viewers like this show."
Everyone nodded.
Mr. Qi continued: "From the information Mr. Wang gave us, we can see that Chu Xuan has 700,000 or 800,000 followers on Tieba, and there are also a lot of discussions on the forum posts every day. Chenglong's first movie after returning to the mainland
"New Police Story" is currently very popular. It is probably due to the efforts of Ying Huang. There are media promotions on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places every few days. As Chu Xuan who plays opposite Cheng Long, I have his name in the entertainment newspapers.
You can see it in a few days.”
Mr. Qi reached out and tapped the table gently and said: "Chu Xuan is currently firmly on the front line. Let him be the male lead. My expectations for this drama will be raised several notches, and I am also very optimistic about the ratings of this drama."
I feel relieved. Not to mention "Dragon", the amazing ratings of "Men and Women" are there. There are so many people who like Chu Xuan, so it is obviously better for Chu Xuan to be the male lead."
Mr. Qi paused and said to Cai Yinong: "Mr. Cai, I have no objection to your artist. I am just discussing the matter."
"Mr. Qi is being polite, I know." Cai Yinong nodded.
Mr. Liu glanced at Mr. Qi, nodded and said: "Mr. Qi and I have the same idea, and Chu Xuan is the male supporting actor in "Dragon". He has never played the male lead in a costume drama. I think based on this, maybe
His fans will look forward to it even more. After all, where is Chu Xuan’s ancient costume..."
Mr. Liu glanced at Wang Jinhua and Wang Zhonglei with a smile and said, "I have to say, they are really handsome."
Wang Jinhua and Wang Zhonglei smiled.
Mr. Qi also smiled and nodded at Mr. Liu, then looked at Li Guoli and said: "Director Li, please say a few words. You are the director and you know the script best. If you have any opinions, everyone can also refer to it.
We only analyze it from a market perspective, but we also need to see whether the actor and the role are suitable. After all, only with good actors and good roles can TV series become popular, and we know this."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Guoli.
Li Guoli thought for a while and said: "Let Chu Xuan play [Li Xiaoyao]. It's no problem to watch Chu Xuan alone. With Chu Xuan's image, it is suitable; with his acting skills, it should be easy to act."
."
Li Guoli looked at everyone, especially at Wang Jinhua and Wang Zhonglei, and said: "But Chu Xuan's posture is too high, and his temperament is also extraordinary. Even Chu Xuan can perform like Qiu Shi in "Men and Women".
It appears to be gentle and ordinary. However, "Sword" and "Dragon" are both costume dramas, so I worry that Chu Xuan, with his performance level and his temperament, will play the role of "Li Xiaoyao" with too much halo.
"
"Then this is a good thing!" Mr. Qi patted the table and said, "The actor has played the role well. Isn't this a good thing? What's there to worry about?"
Li Guoli looked at Mr. Qi and sighed: "Mr. Qi, who will play the heroine so that she will not be overpowered by Chu Xuan? You should also know the video of Chu Xuan and Lin Zhiying in "Dragon Babu", if Chu Xuan lets go
As far as I know, there should be no actress in the same age group who can take on his role."
Mr. Qi was stunned, dumbfounded for a moment, and said: "It seems to be the same..."
Not only Mr. Qi, but the others were also thoughtful.
The "Tian Long Ba Bu" video made a big fuss, Chu Xuan's Murong Fu crushed Lin Zhiying's Duan Yu to the end of the whole scene. They are all in this industry, so they naturally understand this very well.
Chu Xuan is young, has an outstanding image, has acted in costume dramas, has some qualifications, and is suitable for [Li Xiaoyao].
but……
Mr. Qi said speechlessly: "When did it become a problem for an actor to act too well?"
Li Guoli was silent for a while and then said: "But costume dramas, and ancient puppet dramas, are not just about acting. I think the most important thing for the male and female protagonists [Li Xiaoyao] and [Zhao Ling'er] is that they have the same temperament. Then this
Only when the two characters feel like a couple can they be full and not inconsistent. However, anyone who has watched "Tian Long Ba Bu" knows that Chu Xuan's temperament is restrained in "The Talented Man and the Beautiful Woman", but he looks like an actor.
It is also different from other actors of the same age. Therefore, it is difficult to find an actress with the same temperament as Chu Xuan, and she is a young actress."
Hearing this, Cai Yinong felt happy.
Mr. Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Everyone is gathering together for the good of the TV series. From the perspective of the characters, I believe Director Li's analysis. [Li Xiaoyao] and [Zhao Ling'er] are definitely the male and female protagonists. If you can't find them,
As for the actress paired with Chu Xuan, this drama is also worrying."
Mr. Qi looked at Wang Zhonglei and said, "Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Zhonglei smiled gently and said: "Everything is based on efficiency."
"Mr. Wang is very generous." Mr. Qi praised.
Mr. Qi looked at Wang Jinhua again and said, "Mr. Wang, Chu Xuan is your artist, but in this situation, we need to consider the overall situation."
Wang Jinhua shook his head and said: "The bosses have already set the tone. Naturally, I have nothing to say. I also came out of the blue. I didn't know about it before. It's just about my artists. That's why Mr. Wang called me to participate in this event."
Meeting."
Mr. Qi nodded.
Seeing that Wang Jinhua had no objection, he felt relieved.
After all, he is the number one agent in domestic entertainment, so he will not be offended if he can.
However, Wang Jinhua said again: "But let me tell you my opinion. If Chu Xuan is still the male protagonist and the female protagonist is Liu Yifei, what do you bosses think?"
