In fact, the first ten episodes of "The Swordsman" were mainly foreshadowing. Linghu Chong had many scenes, but he was not outstanding until he obtained the Nine Swords of Dugu from Feng Qingyang.
Then the climax came one after another.
First, he defeated Tian Boguang, and then in the Yaowang Temple, there was a fierce battle on a rainy night. One person used the Dugu Nine Swords to defeat all the masters and put the whole audience in a show.
Immediately afterwards, the master and the disciples broke up, the Wu Ba Gang gathered for a rebellion, the Green Bamboo Alley fought, and Xihu rescued Ren Woxing and led everyone to Shaolin.
The famous scenes in "The Swordsman" come one after another, and Linghu Chong also shines in the drama and becomes the real C-position of the show.
The ratings of the TV series were also rising steadily, and around episode 30, Linghu Chong became the head of Hengshan.
The average ratings of the whole drama has reached 14.1, and its market share swept all TV stations during the same period, becoming the first phenomenon-level TV series in 2001.
Xiangjiang, Taiwan Province, and Singapore have successively contacted CCTV and plan to introduce "Swordsman". By then, Cao Xuan may have to step down from the propaganda station.
Other countries are also ready to take action. The influence of Jin Yong and martial arts culture is very popular in East Asia. Cao Xuan is also a well-known Asian king. The two parties joining forces can still attract the attention of many overseas TV stations.
Even Chinese TV stations on the other side of the ocean are interested in introducing and broadcasting it.
Last year's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" laid a pretty good foundation for the prosperity of martial arts culture.
Especially at the 73rd Academy Awards held just a few days ago, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" received 10 nominations and finally won 4 awards, including the valuable "Best Foreign Language Film".
Ang Lee is a god in the country!
Although Ang Lee later won two Oscars for Best Director, many Chinese people still have an impression of him in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Lust, Caution."
Needless to say about the latter, the international soup became famous as soon as it was released.
The former is because this is a rare work that brings Chinese chivalrous culture to the world. In a sense, it can be regarded as a model of cultural export.
Ang Lee's Oscar-winning fame has also inspired a group of domestic directors to become excited.
To be honest, many people have been to the three major European awards, but what they really want to win now is the Oscar.
Lao Mouzi, who has been plagued by modeling scandals, and New Picture officially announced the project of a new movie "Hero".
The movie is expected to start filming in August or September. It is billed as a new martial arts blockbuster and plans to invite Jet Li, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung and other big names to join the cast.
According to insiders, Cao Xuan was also invited to this film, but Cao Xuan declined due to schedule reasons.
In fact, he thought the role was too small, and it was not what Cao Xuan expected. Even if "Hero" took a fancy to him, it only gave him a long-term role.
This role is a great temptation for Zhen Zhuan, who has not yet reached the top, but for Cao Xuan, it is a bit like a tasteless and useless character that is a pity to abandon.
There are benefits to acting, but the benefits are not particularly big. Instead of playing this supporting role, it is better to release an album, or to participate in a movie that has a lower box office but can play the male lead.
If Fanxing could participate in "Hero", Cao Xuan would certainly be willing to star in it, but Boss Zhang had no shortage of investment in the new picture. In this case, Cao Xuan declined with excuses.
I heard that Boss Zhang was a little unhappy and felt that Cao Xuan was disrespectful.
Cao Xuan was speechless. Apart from being an old man, his real net worth may not be more than his own, so why pretend to be a big-tailed wolf?
Lao Mouzi is gearing up, and the popularity of "Swordsman" has once again added fuel to the "martial arts craze".
For a time, it seemed that the film and television industry was full of martial arts crews setting up projects.
Zhang Jizhong hasn't even prepared the script for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" yet, and is already clamoring to film it.
Different from the original "The Swordsman" which had poor reputation and tailgated ratings, now "The Swordsman" is definitely not considered a classic, but is definitely a high-quality one, and its ratings are expected to hit the annual championship.
Zhang Dabeard is very high-spirited and plans to create a Jin Yong martial arts series to make him a lot of money.
However, Cao Xuan heard rumors that Big Beard was leaving and seemed to be having a bad time with CCTV.
In fact, there was not much quarrel between the two parties in the original time and space, but they still had to save face. The poor reputation and ratings of "The Swordsman" made CCTV no longer optimistic about martial arts drama projects, and rarely invested in filming or purchased dramas.
This time "Swordsman" is a big hit, and CCTV will not turn a blind eye.
Big Beard took over Jin Yong's copyright and took the team out to work alone. To a certain extent, it was considered poaching. It is estimated that there is still some friction between the two parties.
However, Cao Xuan didn't bother to care about their quarrels. It would be best if Fanxing participated in "Legend of the Condor Heroes", but it didn't matter if he couldn't. The projects he was really optimistic about were the subsequent "Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Of course, if Big Beard is willing to replace Li Yapeng, we can still talk about this project.
But Cao Xuan felt that it was unlikely. Big Beard and Li Yapeng had a good relationship, and Li's popularity and appeal were also good at this stage. It was not that simple to replace him.
Putting aside the big beard, "The Swordsman" has greatly helped the couple Cao Xuan and Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's crying, coupled with the popularity bonus of Ren Yingying's character, it is no exaggeration to say that she immediately entered the front line in one go.
However, these sisters are also willful. Faced with the overwhelming fame, they went directly to Singapore for vacation.
Of course, some say she is hiding from trouble, as her rumored boyfriend seems to be dying...
Xu Qing traveled overseas, but Cao Xuan, the male protagonist, could only take the lead in domestic publicity. The popularity of "The Swordsman" further confirmed Cao Xuan's status in the film and television industry and greatly boosted the national popularity.
"Bao Qingtian" and "The Swordsman" have two consecutive years of blockbuster male protagonists. At this stage, the TV series can be compared with Cao Xuan.
There are only a few people such as Xiao Yanzi, Zhou Gongzi, Lu Yi, and Zhang Weijian, all of whom have been leading figures in the TV drama industry in terms of ratings in the past two years.
Ximen Qing, Luo Yang, Bao Zheng, Linghu Chong, a series of roles have also positioned Cao Xuan in the eyes of the public, and gradually he is no longer limited to the attribute of "singer".
Many professional film critics and senior actors also gave favorable comments——
Cao Xuan's career as an actor is not as amazing and legendary as that of the music industry, but he is steady enough, polishing his acting skills step by step, and presenting his works.
The media also felt that Cao Xuan's brilliance was so great that many people overlooked that he was also an excellent actor.
The entire entertainment industry may not be ranked high for the time being, but among the younger generation, it is already considered to be relatively top-notch.
As for Cao Xuan's group of fans, through the accumulation of two hit works, they finally formed a certain scale of "movie fans".
Although there is a huge difference in the number of movie fans compared to fans, and many of them are pure beauty fans, Cao Xuan also cherishes and cares for her very much.
There is no way, things are rare and valuable.
Cao Xuan has become a little bored and tired of listening to fans' Rainbow Fart, and now he loves to watch others praise him for his good acting, which gives him a full sense of accomplishment.
………
On April 5th, "Golden Pink Family" officially launched.
The broadcast of "The Swordsman" is in full swing, and Cao Xuan's popularity is booming. This time when it was launched, countless reporters immediately came to watch.
As expected, Cao Xuan once again became the center of attention. Dozens of microphones were stretched out, almost burying Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan was used to being "sieged" by reporters, and he was particularly cooperative, talking freely in front of the camera. After all, it was his own business, so more exposure would make him more profitable.
"Our play tells the story of the Republic of China period, about young men and women's freedom of love... This play is not completely consistent with the original work. We have made some relevant modifications, which are directed by Director Liu Guoquan and our professional screenwriter team from Fanxing. Everyone
You can look forward to it.”
"The choice of Dong Xuan was unanimously decided by Director Liu and me and the screenwriting team. She meets our needs for Leng Qingqiu. The little girl works hard and I believe she can play the role well."
"Of course you call me boss in private. What do you think it is called (laughs). In fact, we haven't communicated much. I hope you can cultivate some tacit understanding during this filming."
"Hu Jing has not joined the cast yet. She is currently busy with "Love Through Time" and should join the cast in May."
"Ratings? The higher the better, for sure. We God of War haven't decided which TV station will broadcast it, but someone is already contacting us."
"The theme song is "Secret Fragrance". In fact, I originally wrote that song because I had a feeling after watching "The Golden Family". I can understand that the song and the drama go hand in hand."
"Director Zhang and I don't have any conflicts. I won't do "Hero" because I have plans for the second half of the year and the schedule cannot be moved."
"Don't just ask me, there are very outstanding actors from our "Golden Family" crew next to you. You can also interview them."
"..."
Cao Xuan talked until his throat was almost smoking, so he sent the reporters to interview other people.
Most of this group of actors are newcomers, so they were still a little uncomfortable facing interviews. Fortunately, there were also some veteran actors and agents to help them, so nothing went wrong after all.
At noon, as usual, a meal was arranged for the reporters and red envelopes were given. Producer Ding Ying stepped in. Cao Xuan did not go over and watched the actors filming on site.
The first scene of the crew is a big gathering of the Jin family. Cao Xuan will not appear for the time being, but basically the other Jin family members are there.
Master Kou Zhenhai is solemn, serious and quite imposing. In the play, he is the Prime Minister. He is inferior to one person and superior to hundreds of millions of people. He is even directly regarded as the head of state.
It's just that the performance in the play is not very good, it is slightly weakened, emphasizing the majesty of the male protagonist, and how to mention the identity of the prime minister.
Wu Jing, the wife of the Jin family, is smart and strong, loves her son, and has the demeanor of a hostess.
The eldest young master/eldest mistress Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan, the second young master/second young mistress Wang Tao/Yang Tongshu, the third young master/third young mistress Sha Yi and Yan Ni.
Xin and Zhu said before that a husband and wife team came here. The second young master Wang Tao is not well-known, but he is a popular actor.
Li Dan, who had previously acted in "Ci of the Daming Palace", was later famous for his role as Ke Wuye in "The First Floor in the World", in which he played a run-down dandy from the Eight Banners vividly.
Needless to say, the third young master Sha Yi has just joined Kongzheng. The casting director went to Kongzheng to find Yan Ni, and he fell in love with him at first sight.
It's not easy to hire this guy. After filming "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair", he became somewhat famous. Shang Jing was thinking about asking him to film "City Man and Woman".
However, "The Golden Family" is a TV series starring Cao Xuan, and it is considered a big drama in the industry.
Although it was a supporting role, it was more attractive than a sitcom. Sha Yi thought about it for a moment, then packed up and reported to the set with Yan Ni.
Cao Xuan looked at his "three brothers and three sisters-in-law" and always felt that they were a bit out of touch.
I was afraid that one of them would give me a sunflower acupoint massage, and the other would speak in Qin provincial dialect.
The three couples and the four ladies, Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Rui, Yang Xue and Li Qian, are all handsome and beauties, but they also have their own characteristics.
Coupled with Cao Xuan, Dong Xuan, Hu Jing, Chen Kun, and Xu Lu, just selling their faces is enough to attract countless fans to stay in front of the TV and lick the screen.
