322 The Young Version of Zhang Wuji and the First Meeting of Liu Tianxian
The crew set of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"
"Brother Bao."
Shi Xiaolong, who had just come to the group, greeted Cao Xuan. At the age of 14, he was not as cute as he was two years ago, and his personality was much shyer.
I was very happy to see Cao Xuan's eyebrows, but I was not very embarrassed to express it. I just said "Brother Bao" after mumbling for a long time.
Cao Xuan was also in adolescence, so he understood the mental state of this little boy very well. He rubbed his head and joked with a smile.
"Don't call me Brother Bao this time, call me Dad."
Shi Xiaolong plays the young version of Zhang Wuji this time. The two versions of Zhang Wuji have no opposite roles, but Zhang Cuishan, played by Cao Xuan, has several scenes with Shi Xiaolong.
Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao from "Young Bao Qingtian" are now father and son.
Moreover, the two are not only father and son, but also the same person. Shi Xiaolong has about 3 to 4 episodes in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".
Including leaving the Ice and Fire Island, entering the Xuanming Ice Palm, the tragic death of parents, the attack of cold poison, being rejected from Shaolin, Hu Qingniu falling in love and killing each other, outsmarting Granny Jinhua, traveling thousands of miles to Kunlun, being plotted by Zhuwu Villa, falling off a cliff and finding the Nine Yang Magic.
During this period, he had various interactions with young Yang Buhui, Zhou Zhiruo, Yin Li, and Zhao Min, planting the seeds for his future.
After getting the Nine Yang Magic Skill, a timeline jumps. A few years later, Zhang Wuji has achieved great success. The child version is offline, and the youth version appears, showing off all kinds of tricks and slaps in the face, and he has a love-hate relationship with several girls who have also grown up.
In a nutshell
Bitter, Shi Xiaolong eats it!
Girl, Cao Xuan is here to hang out!
The contrast was so huge that even Cao Xuan, the person involved, felt a little embarrassed when he saw Shi Xiaolong.
What's even more embarrassing is that not only was Shi Xiaolong cut off by Cao Xuan in various ways, but he actually had to call him daddy, and Cao Xuan's real girlfriend Zeng Li was still his mother.
It’s not just taking advantage of yourself, but also forming a group to take advantage. She’s still a minor...
The relationship between Cao Xuan and Shi Xiaolong is quite good. When they were filming "Young Bao Qingtian", Cao Xuan and Hu Jing took good care of him.
Children don't say it, but they can still feel who treats them well, otherwise they wouldn't know Big Brother Bao. Big Brother Bao is so sweet that he was the little follower behind Cao Xuan on the set of "Young Bao Qingtian".
Last year, there was a controversy over the role change in "Young Master Bao Qingtian 2". Lu Yi made arrogant remarks, and Shi Xiaolong and Ren Quan, who were close to Cao Xuan, were asked by the crew to keep quiet and were not allowed to express their opinions on this.
But later when participating in the program promotion, the host deliberately stirred up trouble and asked Shi Xiaolong to express his views on the two Big Brother Bao.
Although Shi Xiaolong also praised Lu Yi, he only mentioned a few words. Instead, he said a lot of good things about Cao Xuan, talked at length, and even shared interesting stories about when Cao Xuan took him to play when filming.
This was a moment of judgment, and Lu Yi, who was promoting with me at the time, looked very unhappy.
What's even worse is what happened later. "Youngster Bao Qingtian 2" was aired last year, and its performance dropped significantly compared to the first part. The male protagonist Lu Yi also received strong criticism.
There are many reasons. In terms of plot, when the first episode of "Young Man Bao Qingtian" was aired, it was revealed that many of the plots were related to Japanese comics.
Although the crew won the adaptation rights early after Cao Xuan's reminder, and it does not constitute plagiarism, some criticisms are inevitable.
Especially for directors and screenwriters, they may want to prove their professional abilities, but insist on being original even though they still have the copyright to adapt.
However, the level is not up to par, resulting in neither improvement nor inferiority, and the plot level and narrative rhythm have collapsed.
Lu Yi's performance was also wrong. Not to mention his and Cao Xuan's acting skills, but the route was wrong.
Bao Zheng in "Young Bao Qingtian" is a young man. Although he is careless and insists on justice, he is usually a funny young man. He is both humorous and serious. The overall atmosphere is more relaxed and the character is very charming.
Lu Yi may have deliberately made a difference from Cao Xuan's version, turning the originally humorous and interesting Bao Zheng into a young official who was bitter and resentful, and worried about the country and the people.
Although facial paralysis is out of the question, there are very few expression fluctuations. Perhaps he wanted to reflect the growth of the character Bao Zheng and his transformation from civilian to official.
But the change was too boring. It would have been fine if Bao Zheng had been like this when he first appeared, but with the Bao Zheng Zhuyu in the first film in front of him, the audience felt very unhappy when comparing it.
Coupled with the decline in the quality of the TV series' plots, Lu Yi's performance was once again hindered.
Not to mention that as the male protagonist, the TV series is not good to watch. He is obviously at least 50% responsible.
But because of the previous controversy about changing roles, he publicly stated that he was more suitable to play Bao Zheng, and that he was better than Cao Xuan in the first film.
It aroused a lot of public opinion at that time, and the two fans almost stopped fighting. Later, Cao Xuan put a comma on the matter by saying, "I will study in front of the TV."
The petty Cao Xuan was holding back his misfortune. This sentence was equivalent to putting Lu Yi on a par with him. If he acted well, he would just be fine. If he acted poorly, he would be laughed at by the crowd.
Sure enough, "Young Master Bao Qingtian 2" did not perform well, and Lu Yi's performance was not ideal, which immediately attracted countless ridicules.
Cao Xuan's fans took the lead in output, and a large number of neutral passers-by also began to think twice. The media even followed the wind, beat up the lost dog, and criticized Lu Yi into a mess.
Lu Yi was originally a first-line niche actor, and he was involved in the well-known IP of Cao Xuan and "Young Man Bao Qingtian". It was very popular, and the public loved watching it, and the media also followed suit.
Lu Yi, who was originally strong, was punched by Dou Tou, making him dizzy.
If it hadn't been for the backlash in "Talent and Beauty" starring Lin Xinru, and the protection of Hai Yan and other big bosses, I would have really suffered a lot this time.
This time, many people thought that Cao Xuan would take the opportunity to strike and crush Lu Yi to the end, but from beginning to end, neither Cao Xuan nor Fanxing expressed anything about this.
Even if someone asks, he directly denies it three times in a row, not knowing! I don’t know! I don’t understand!
Cao Xuan also said that he really studied hard and thought that Lu Yi's performance was very unique and unique, which allowed him to understand the role of Bao Zheng on a deeper level.
Regardless of whether he is a charlatan or speaking the truth, Cao Xuan really did not add insult to injury. Many people praised him for his high-mindedness and broad-mindedness.
The big boss behind Lu Yi also wanted to arrange a drink to settle the grudge, but Cao Xuan didn't respond and only asked someone to reply.
You take your Yangguan Road, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge!
Cao Xuan is not a generous person. The reason why he ignored this matter is because he was not in that position in the first place, and the other party has already paid the due price.
From now on, don’t disturb each other and stay well.
And this is not without punishment. From now on, Lu Yi will basically block all film and television variety shows and related platforms in Fanxingxing, even close partners.
You may not be able to see it now, but maybe in a few years it will be the biggest punishment for him.
You know, Cao Xuan's Fanxing Film and Television City is aiming for the scale of Hengdian in the north. Fanxing Cinemas aims to be among the top five or even the top three in the country, not to mention Penguin, one of the two giants of the Internet in the future.
If these platforms exclude an artist, even if it is not a total ban, it is not much better.
Everyone thought Cao Xuan was grand, but they didn’t know that the real killer was a soft knife...
………
Cao Xuan took his son... No, Shi Xiaolong met his future "daughter-in-law", Zhao Min, Jia Jingwen, Zhou Zhiruo, Gao Yuanyuan, Yin Li, Yang Xue, Dong Xuan and Yang Buhui.
As for Xiao Zhao, who has not yet joined the cast, Lin Yichen was originally scheduled to be cast, but later she took on other roles, and the filming progress was delayed, causing the schedule to miss.
For such a big team as "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer", they would definitely not wait for her to play a small role before replacing her directly.
There are currently two main candidates, Chen Qiaoen, whose stage name is Xiao Hongen, and An Yixuan.
Boss Wu is in contact. Cao Xuan is more optimistic about the former, but the latter's temperament is also acceptable.
It is worth mentioning that An is also Zhao Min in Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer". It is said that An also staged a battle with Sun Niangniang on the set where the main palace tore down the mistress.
I don’t know whether the gossip is true or false, but if she is chosen this time, it means that she is really destined to be in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".
It may also cause her to lose the role of Zhao Min in the future. After all, if Xiao Zhao performs well, the audience and the film crew will not be used to her playing Zhao Min.
Not to mention who Xiao Zhao chose, the young version of Shi Xiaolong also had no direct contact with her.
Cao Xuan mainly wanted Shi Xiaolong to see what the girls he had been in contact with looked like as adults. Each one was prettier than the last.
Then he told him to act well, and when these girls grow up, they would fall in love with this young version of Zhang Wuji.
As simple and young as Shi Xiaolong, he wanted to give Cao Xuan a set of Arhat Fist, add a set of seventy-two-way spring legs, and then use eighteen kinds of weapons to loosen his bones...
But when he was still hesitating whether to take action, Cao Xuan threw him to a few actresses and left.
Several actresses teased the young lady with smiles. Shi Xiaolong's face turned red, feeling both pain and happiness.
Cao Xuan was not running away, but he received a call that Zhang Dabeard brought someone to visit the class, so he came to greet him.
Zhang Da Beard is an old acquaintance, and Cao Xuan doesn't care whether he welcomes him or not. He came in person, mainly to see the little girl that Da Beard brought this time.
She has delicate eyebrows, fair skin, and a dignified and well-behaved manner. Although she is a little green, she can still see some potential for future gods and goddesses.
"Is this the Wang Yuyan you told me about?"
Cao Xuan knew what was going on, but he told lies with his eyes wide open. He had a big beard and couldn't figure out the way, so he asked tentatively.
"what do you think?"
"She is beautiful, but she is a bit young and has not acted before. She may not be able to shoulder such a heavy role."
Faced with Cao Xuan's doubts, Zhang Dabeard became anxious and hurriedly boasted, boasting that Liu Tianxian was rare in the sky but not on the earth. He only happened once in four thousand years. If he missed it, he would be in big trouble.
Cao Xuan holds a 20% share of "Dragon Movie" and is tied for second place with another investor.
What's more important is that as the boss of many film and television productions, Cao Xuan has a strong say in the crew, and many investors believe in his ability and vision.
Although Big Beard is the leader in "Dragon Movie", if Cao Xuan firmly opposes it, many investors may not support Big Beard.
This is also the purpose of Zhang Dabeard bringing Liu Tianxian to see Cao Xuan. If Cao Xuan doesn't nod, it will be difficult for her, a pure newcomer, to get the important role of Wang Yuyan.
And if Cao Xuan is convinced, it will be easier for other investors to talk.
The bearded man said he was thirsty, but Cao Xuan was "unmoved." Don't think he didn't know that this old guy had a behind-the-scenes deal with Liu Tianxian's adoptive father, and even had shares in Liu Tianxian's brokerage company.
Cao Xuan would not stop Liu Tianxian from playing Wang Yuyan. If he didn't ask her to play the role, Cao Xuan wouldn't think of anyone to take the role.
But the key is that his support cannot be in vain.
Zhang Dabeard ran back and forth. He took the benefits and sold the favors. What should he do?
We are not related to each other, and he is not an artist of Cao Xuan Company, so there is no benefit. Why should he support Liu Tianxian's rise to power?
Xiao Zhou and the doctor at least called him Brother Xuan, which satisfied Cao Xuan's sense of vanity. Liu Tianxian just stood there stupidly since they met, and Cao Daguan was very unhappy.
"Let's see, it's still a month before we leave. It just so happens that my crew also has the role of the daughter of the leader of the Beggar Clan. Let her stay. I'll observe her acting skills and help train her."
"this……"
The bearded man looked at Cao Xuan hesitantly: "Brother, let me tell you the truth. This is my friend's daughter. Don't have any thoughts."
"What kind of words are these that even a gentleman should guard against?"
Cao Xuan was furious: "Who do you think I, Cao Xuan, am? I am a minor and am breaking the law, do you know?"
