The launch press conference for "Sword and Sword" will be held at noon today. Currently, a group of actors are gathering in Chu Xuan's suite to chat.
Chu Xuan is the male protagonist, so the room provided by the crew is naturally the most upscale and spacious.
Although Liu Yifei's suite is the same as Chu Xuan's, with Liu Xiaoli in the room, it is natural for other actors not to enter Liu Yifei's suite and wander around.
"You two are so popular, and the popularity has risen instantly." Jiang Xin looked at the notebook.
Some time ago, the crew posted photos of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei online, and updated them with a new photo every few days.
Netizens and fans are also very enthusiastic, and the discussion heat provided has been steadily increasing.
"It's still far away. "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Water Moon Cave", "Detective Di Renjie", "Blood Romance", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", these dramas are the most popular." Liu Yifei said to Jiang Xin
Praise and disapproval.
"These dramas are either currently airing or will be aired soon. Our "Sword" has not even started filming yet, and the publicity efforts have not increased, so naturally they cannot compete with each other. But now, just relying on the makeup photos of the two of you can bring this popularity.
, then if we increase the publicity in the future, it will definitely be even higher." Peng Yuyan looked determined.
"Chu Xuan, Qian Qian, the most important thing is that "Dragon Babu" premiered on Baodao. It currently ranks first in the ratings. You two are also very popular on Baodao. This is also the reason for our drama.
Advantages." An Yixuan said.
"Indeed. In Baodao's ranking of the popularity of "Tianlong" artists, Lin Zhiying is first, Hu Jun is second, Yi Fei is third, Chu Xuan is fourth, and Liu Tao is fifth. You guys are very popular." Liu Pinyan added.
"Brother Zhiying is more popular than the main protagonist, Brother Jun?" Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow.
An Yixuan shook her head and said: "There are few people in Baodao who are more popular than Lin Zhiying. But in the mainland, at this stage, there is a bonus effect of the carousel of "Men with Talent and Women's Appearance", Chu Xuan should be more popular than him. The carousel of "Men with Talent and Women's Appearance" should be more popular than him.
The TV ratings are much higher than those of "Dragon Movie"."
At this moment, the assistant director knocked on the door, then opened the door and said, "Get ready for the interview."
"Let's go." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei stood up.
The group of people walked out and prepared to go downstairs to the large conference room to attend the "Sword and Sword" launch conference.
As soon as he walked out of the door, a text message came from Chu Xuan's cell phone: [Done!], the time of the text message was May 25, 2004.
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, his expression warm for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yifei looked at him.
Chu Xuan's expression didn't seem to change, but she could clearly feel that Chu Xuan suddenly became a little happy.
"The first step was successful." Chu Xuan whispered.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows, her eyes slightly widened and then she quirked her eyebrows and smiled.
Although she still didn't know what Chu Xuan and Sister Hua were doing, it was her and Chu Xuan's "future" after all. When she heard Chu Xuan say he had achieved success, she also encouraged him.
——Hotel large conference room.
Li Guoli took the lead, and Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others followed him in.
The spotlights on the scene flickered frequently and were extremely dazzling.
Seeing that the main personnel had arrived, the entertainment reporters quickly prepared for interviews.
On the small platform, Li Guoli sat at the edge, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sat side by side in the center, and Peng Yuyan, An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan sat on both sides.
"Director Li, why do you want to film a fairy tale drama? How is it different from a martial arts drama?"
Li Guoli picked up the microphone and said kindly: "First of all, there seems to be no type drama like Xianxia in the mainland, so the investors and I also want to try something new to see if such a drama can be welcomed by the market. If the response
Yes, maybe there will be one more element in the film and television drama market in the future, which is always a good thing for the development of the industry."
This was heard by reporters, and they agreed.
The early "Journey to the West" was a mythological drama. According to the classification of industry leaders, the term "Xianxia" was born out of mythology.
However, the inland market has always been dominated by martial arts dramas and court dramas, while Xianxia has not been taken seriously by the industry.
The main reason is that Xianxia is destined to use special effects, and domestic special effects technology is currently mediocre, and special effects are expensive.
Therefore, although the concept of fairy tales has been around for a long time, no one has tried to create such a film and television drama. Almost everyone followed the trend, starting with martial arts, then the palace, and then the city.
"Fairy Sword" has the word "Xian" in its name and the story background is promoted, this drama is in line with the "Xian Xia" element.
So, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Fairy Sword" is the first fairy tale drama in mainland China.
In this case, as Li Guoli said, if "Fairy Sword" succeeds, it is destined to be followed by many people, and the entire industry will have more "Xianxia" elements.
"What is the difference between martial arts and fairy tales? I think the difference lies in the story background, shooting scenes, costumes and special effects. The rest I think there is no difference. Martial arts are the elements closest to our current people and life, even if they are filming fairy tales
Chivalry dramas, and even mythological dramas, will basically be shot in the same way as martial arts dramas."
This is actually true.
Martial arts are the closest to people’s lives. Even "Journey to the West" has some shadow of martial arts.
For example, the way of fighting, the martial arts-style love and hatred, etc., these are the original martial arts elements, and they are all introduced or adapted by various mythological dramas.
As for fairy tale dramas, they are even more inseparable from the element of martial arts.
"Director Li, the previously announced investment in "Sword and Sword" was 25 million. What is the approximate proportion of the funds that Director Li plans to use for special effects?"
"At least half."
The reporters were a little surprised.
Half of the total investment is used for special effects, so this drama is somewhat exciting.
I'm afraid that if a fairy tale drama is based on the name of fairy tale, but the final film will be worse than martial arts, then this drama will most likely be a flop.
"Director Li, how did you consider choosing Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei as the male and female protagonists?"
"The image matches, the two actors match well, and their acting skills are good, so I chose them."
Good acting?
The reporters were stunned for a moment.
They recognized that Chu Xuan was good at acting, after all, there were works on the market to prove it.
Liu Yifei is also good at acting?
Li Guoli's interview ended, and the reporters found Chu Xuan as the next person to interview.
"Chu Xuan, Director Li said that Liu Yifei's acting skills are good, what do you think?"
Sitting on the sofa, Chu Xuan was silent for a while.
This group of reporters was really good at looking for trouble, throwing the topic directly to him, and making a seamless connection with Li Guoli.
Liu Yifei sat next to Chu Xuan. She was completely indifferent and relaxed, looking at Chu Xuan with her lips pursed, waiting for his reply.
She was more interested in Chu Xuan's answers than the reporter's questions.
"Liu Yifei's acting skills are indeed good. She was often praised by Brother Chenglong in the previous crew. I think her fans and viewers will definitely be pleasantly surprised after "Sword and Fairy" is aired."
The previous crew?
"New Police Story"?
When the reporters realized it, it turned out that Liu Yifei had participated in a movie before this, and it was Chenglong's movie, so it was normal for her acting skills to improve.
Based on the online evaluation of Liu Yifei's "outstanding image but poor acting skills", perhaps this evaluation will be overturned when "Sword and Fairy" is aired.
The reporters no longer struggled with this issue and changed the topic, targeting Liu Yifei.
In this press conference, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were placed in the middle, sitting side by side.
Don’t make it too obvious, these two people are the main interviewees.
The reporters were not notified in advance that they had to come one by one, so interviewing together might lead to more revelations.
"Liu Yifei, in your previous works, you were the female supporting role. This time you are the heroine for the first time, and you are starring with Chu Xuan. What do you want to say? How do you evaluate Chu Xuan?"
Liu Yifei's face was full of suppleness, she picked up the microphone and said: "Chu Xuan has always taken good care of me. In my first two works, he would also give me guidance on my acting skills to make me perform better. So this time, I can
I'm very happy to play with Chu Xuan."
The reporters' eyes lit up, as these words were a bit ambiguous.
"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei said that you take good care of her and give advice on her acting skills. Is there anything you want to say?"
Chu Xuan sighed in his heart, Liu Yifei was so courageous, she said this without fear of others misunderstanding.
Although it is true, it is not good to cause scandals.
Chu Xuan himself doesn't care, but it will definitely have a great impact on Liu Yifei.
He picked up the microphone and said: "Liu Yifei and I are classmates and very good friends in life. He and I are naturally the most familiar among the crew, and we often communicate with each other about some scenes."
As he spoke, Chu Xuan smiled: "Of course, I would also like to thank Liu Yifei's mother, Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu is very polite and allows me to have a meal often."
Liu Yifei’s mother?
Yes, Liu Yifei's mother follows her every day, and she found out by just asking around in the circle. This is not a rare thing.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are classmates, so it is normal for them to exchange acting skills with each other.
The most important thing is that Liu Yifei is only 16 years old, and her mother follows her every day. No one will believe this scandal, and it will offend Wang Jinhua and the people behind Liu Yifei.
The reporters gave up the idea for a while.
If the scandal cannot be confirmed, they will face suppression and lawyer's letters from Wang Jinhua and Huayi.
This is not worth the loss.
"It's a pity. These two are so popular. If there is any scandal, it would be a big deal." Many reporters felt regretful.
…
After the press conference, the group attended the opening ceremony and prepared to go to the hall downstairs for the opening banquet.
"Qian Qian, fortunately Chu Xuan reacted quickly and pulled me in. Otherwise, what you said would be embellished by the media, and you and Chu Xuan would be in trouble." Liu Xiaoli grabbed her daughter's shoulders and frowned.
"But I'm telling the truth." Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose, looking unconcerned.
"In the eyes of those media, the truth can also turn into lies." Chu Xuan said.
"Whether they are lying or not has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I am telling the truth." Liu Yifei looked sideways at Chu Xuan, her eyes a little firm.
Chu Xuan was speechless for a moment. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Liu Yifei. Faced with Liu Yifei's firm gaze, he gradually softened.
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows, looking arrogant and playful at the same time.
