Throughout August, except for filming and frequently paying attention to the new album's arrangement, Cao Xuan basically didn't worry about anything else. He only attended two ceremonies as a guest.
"Li Wei Becomes an Official" Zeng Li's finalizing ceremony.
"Dragon" launch press conference.
The two attendances were basically just for the platform. "Li Wei Becomes an Official" is right next door. As the boss, Cao Xuan should show up both emotionally and rationally.
In addition, the crew of "Li Wei Becomes an Official" cooperated very well with the filming of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".
The heroine Zeng Li came to play a supporting role. Later, in order to take care of Zeng Li's schedule, we prioritized filming the heroine's scenes during the summer vacation, so that she could finish filming before the end of the summer vacation.
Cao Xuan definitely wanted to express his gratitude and borrowed Zeng Li's help to arrange a good meal for the crew of "Li Wei Becomes an Official". The standards were better than the final banquet of the entire crew.
Although Boss Zeng is not a secret known to everyone in Fanxing like Boss Hu, many people also know that she is not easy to mess with and that she is very capable.
Just kidding, if a crew works with one actor to film a movie, even superstars rarely get this kind of treatment.
Unless it was opened by her family for the production crew...
At the wedding banquet, Teacher Zeng had a rare sentimental moment and drank a few more drinks.
The Li Wei series can be regarded as her first starring role, and she still has some feelings for her. The two dramas have been cooperating for nearly half a year. The relationship between the cast and crew is not very good, but they have become acquaintances.
There is basically no role for her in the second part of "Li Wei Resigns". Even if there is, it is just as a memory cameo.
In other words, the completion of filming today means that Zeng Li and Li Wei series officially bid farewell, and it is inevitable that I feel a little reluctant to part with them.
Anyway, with Cao Xuan here, there is no need to worry about safety issues. Teacher Zeng, who has always been indifferent and reserved, also became more temperamental, holding a cup and toasting several familiar actors and staff.
Cao Xuan felt a little headache when he saw her and the female makeup artist talking to each other, but he didn't stop her.
This kind of farewell to the crew is inevitable for every actor. The main reason is that Zeng Li is inexperienced. Once he gets used to it after filming a few more movies, he won't be so emotional.
Finally, Cao Xuan took Zeng Li home who was dizzy from drinking.
I changed her clothes, took off her shoes, gave her some honey water, and put her on the bed.
Looking at the blushing beauty Zeng, she narrowed her eyes stupidly, raised her nose, hunched over the quilt like a pig, and muttered some modal particles that no one could understand.
Cao Xuan couldn't hold back his smile, so he ran to the study to find a camera and took pictures of her appearance.
The next day, when Cao Xuan showed her those innocent photos of the great beauty Zeng, Empress Xigong's face was even redder than last night when she drank too much, and she tried her best to destroy the evidence.
Little did he know that Cao Xuan had already made a backup and planned to show it to his son or daughter later.
After "Li Wei Becomes an Official" was completed, Teacher Zeng turned down all job offers in the second half of the year and concentrated on preparing lessons, except for possibly participating in Cao Xuan's MV shooting.
Prior to this, she had officially received notice from the Chinese Opera that after the summer vacation she would become the intern class teacher of the 02-level acting class of the Chinese Opera for a period of one year.
A year later, she graduates from graduate school and becomes a formal teacher depending on the situation. She may continue to serve as a class teacher, or she may become a performance teacher in a non-management position.
It is worth mentioning that after Teacher Zeng’s unremitting poaching, Liu Tianxian was finally recruited to the Chinese Opera and became her chief disciple.
Cao Xuan put in a lot of effort here.
Otherwise, it would be possible for Zeng Li, an intern teacher, to help her take the exam and ask the freshmen to take nearly a semester off to film. She is not that capable.
But it's different when Cao Xuan comes forward. After all, he is the boss of a first-line film and television company. Let's not talk about some private relationships. Just the fact that Fanxing can provide certain internship opportunities for Chinese drama students is enough to sell face to the relevant leaders.
These days there are fewer dramas and more people, and film and television and talent agencies have a high profile and only want good talents.
It's far from being as competitive as in later generations, when there were brokerage companies entering the school during the freshman year to sign people like crazy.
Therefore, these Nortel Chinese Opera students are worth money even if they say they are valuable, and they are not worth money even if they are not.
A very small number have become famous and successful, and a small number have been admitted to the establishment. Most of the rest are just social animals struggling to survive.
Especially for those who are professionals behind the scenes, it is difficult to get ahead.
Although Fanxing is just an internship, it is also an opportunity. If I can stay, at least the salary will be good, I will have enough food and clothing, and there will be hope of getting ahead.
For most ordinary Chinese Drama students, the temptation is still great, and it can relatively solve the problem of graduation work in Chinese Drama.
Of course, Cao Xuan is not at a loss either. Whether it is literature, screenwriting, directing, performance, or other majors, the quality of Chinese opera students is still very good. If a few good talents can be discovered, it will be a big profit.
If the performance is not satisfactory, then the worst case scenario is that he will be let go. During the internship period, there is no guarantee that he will stay.
Cao Xuan personally took action, which was a small break with the rules of the Central Theater, and Liu Tianxian became a famous figure before the school started at the Central Theater.
The competition for roles in "Dragon" was so fierce that one of the most outstanding female characters, Wang Yuyan, was won by an amateur, a girl who was just 15 years old.
He is young, makes an exception in Chinese dramas, and has won popular roles since his debut. All these factors are combined together, and it is difficult not to attract everyone's attention.
Especially when a reporter photographed Liu Tianxian riding in a luxurious Mercedes when he was taking the Chinese drama examination, rumors spread.
Some said she was Zhang's bearded daughter, some said she was from the third generation, some said she was the illegitimate daughter of a certain boss, and some said she was Cao Xuan's biological sister.
Of course, some people suspected that Cao Daguan was a naughty man, but as soon as Cao Xuan's two lawyer letters were issued, he knew that he had hit the bottom line, and reporters did not dare to talk nonsense.
Nowadays, Cao Xuan is not something that reporters can smear casually. His Fengyun Studio, through the Penguin platform, is almost second only to the three major portal news network news organizations.
As for physical offline news, Fengyun Studio also has a corresponding layout. Although it is not as strong as the fourth online one, it can be considered a first-class media.
With the combination of online and offline, Fengyun Studio is definitely a giant in the journalism world, especially in the entertainment news industry, and no one is afraid of engaging in public opinion wars.
What's more important is that Cao Xuan is rich. If he really breaks his face and fights to the death, spending millions and tens of millions, except for the official media, the private media will not be the same size at all.
Even the official media can file lawsuits when they should, and no one has reached the point where it is the only one.
Therefore, the media who often deal with Cao Xuan all know that it doesn't matter if they are laughing and joking, Cao Xuan is even willing to give some news. The reporter's magazine has sales, and he has exposure, which is mutually beneficial.
But the premise is that the line cannot be crossed. The matter of raising Liu Tianxian is obviously something Cao Xuan cannot tolerate.
The lawyer's letter is a warning. If the reporter continues to spread rumors, everyone will see him in court. If he doesn't take a few bites of meat, Cao Xuan's legal team, which costs millions every year, will have no face to see him.
The theory of cultivation no longer exists, but there are other speculations that Cao Xuan didn't care too much, and he couldn't.
The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, where right and wrong are inevitable, and having a bottom line is pretty good.
At least no matter what, after all, with Cao Xuan's protection and a group of reporters from many galaxies escorting him, the public opinion environment for Liu Tianxian's debut was much stronger than in the original time and space.
In particular, the idea of "godfather" no longer exists. After all, Liu Tianxian is a serious celebrity artist. Chen Feihong did not show up from the beginning to the end except for sending a car to pick her up. Even her manager is from Fanxing. Her mother Liu Xiaoli is
Assistant and family member, mainly taking care of daily life.
Therefore, although the public opinion storm surrounding Liu Tianxian is not small, it is still within the controllable range. The most common speculation now is that he comes from a good family or is a relative of Cao Xuan.
This is inevitable, there are too many various elements in her body, it is almost an automatic luminous body, attracting the attention of the outside world.
However, there are advantages to this. A born star will receive a series of exposures without the help of stars. He is obviously a newcomer and is more popular than Yang Xue and other artists who have already debuted.
Even Jiang Yue was amazed. Cao Xuan's debut was not as smooth as hers. As long as he can maintain the direction of public opinion, he is very hopeful to become Fanxing's new traffic code.
When Cao Xuan came to the "Dragon" crew launch press conference this time, half of them came for Liu Tianxian, and the other half came for Dong Xuan and Yan Kuan.
"Tian Long Ba Bu" is a big team, and the capital composition behind it is also very complicated, so Cao Xuan wants to come over and tell others which actors are covered by him, Cao Xuan, and put aside all his little thoughts.
………
Backstage at the press conference, Cao Xuan became the center of attention as soon as he entered the venue, and everyone stood up to greet him.
Cao Xuan probably said hello, and then had a special chat with Hu Jun and Lin Zhiying.
Among the entire cast of "Dragon", apart from Fanxing artists and a few veteran actors, they were the only ones who asked Cao Xuan to pay special attention.
The former is a stable star in the mainland, especially after "Lan Yu", he successfully entered the Hong Kong circle and has a good relationship with many big names in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
However, what Cao Xuan really values is not Hu Jun's status, but his background, or his father and uncle, the famous Chinese singer Hu Songhua, and the brothers Hu Baoshan, who are also the bosses of the Music Association.
As an advanced member of the Music Association, Cao Xuan had received the care of two seniors, so he also looked at Hu Jun in a different light.
As for Lin Zhiying, the main reason is that he was "introduced" to the group by Cao Xuan, and he has a cooperative relationship with his boss, Boss Wu, so he naturally has to talk when they meet.
These two are also considered to be the biggest actors in Tianlong Babu. Cao Xuan specially called Dong Xuan and the other three to chat with them and lay the groundwork in advance. If there were any problems during the filming, they would meet each other and the other party would be able to give them face.
"teacher."
Unlike Dong Xuan and Yan Kuan, who honestly called themselves boss, when Liu Tianxian saw Cao Xuan, he obediently called him "teacher."
This is what her mother specially taught her. A single word difference in the title can make a huge difference in the treatment here.
Boss, normal working relationship between employees, official business.
The teacher-student relationship is one of closeness and one of our own.
Cao Xuan glanced at her and saw the confused look in Liu Tianxian's eyes. He knew who had come up with the idea and had no intention of correcting it.
Liu Tianxian was the favorite of Empress Xigong and her direct disciple. After all, he could be considered Liu Tianxian's "master", and so could Teacher Ying Sheng.
However, precisely because Cao Xuan did not correct him, this completely different title made others take a second look at Liu Tianxian.
Is this little girl really a relative of Cao Xuan?
No one thought about Cao Xuan's cultivation, so ridicule was ridicule, but Cao Xuan actually had a good reputation in the industry.
At least the eyes of the female celebrities were red, and they didn't see him actually taking action. Over the years, Hu Jing is the only one who has been very troublesome on the surface.
There are rumors about Dong Xuan, Zeng Li and Jia Jingwen, and they are somewhat similar, but there is really no further fact.
Therefore, Cao Xuan, the well-known scandal king in the outside world, is actually considered to have an upper-middle-class reputation in the circle. He is not comparable to those good family men, but compared to those old perverts, he can be regarded as an upright young man.
The so-called cultivation is not that I don't believe that Cao Xuan is not good, but that it is not necessary to go to the entertainment industry to cultivate myself. Isn't this exciting?
Judging from Cao Xuan's past behavior, he is not like Wu Dalang, who drinks milk and dances with his feet.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Dabeard hurried over. Cao Xuanyou followed him to meet with several investors, and then the press conference began.
Cao Xuan spoke on behalf of the co-producers, and as the boss behind the scenes, he was more popular among reporters than the cast and crew of "Dragon" combined.
However, Cao Xuan did not steal the limelight and only answered three questions.
First, he will not play any role in "Dragon Movie", he will only participate in the project.
Second, he is personally quite satisfied with the cast selection of the crew.
Thirdly, Liu Tianxian was not recommended by him. It was Lao Zhang who took a fancy to him first and then showed it to him. He also took a fancy to Liu Tianxian's potential, so he asked Fanxing to sign the contract. The order was very important.
In the end, the ball was kicked to Zhang Dashu. Now the outside world says that Liu Tianxian was promoted by Cao Xuan. This is true, but Zhang Dashu was indeed the one who started the matter, so Cao Xuan is not lying.
,
However, he did not fool Zhang Bearded. Lao Zhang had been prepared for it. Faced with the reporter's hard press, he brought out a killer weapon.
Jin Yong!
The little girl’s appearance is recognized by Mr. Jin. Do you understand Wang Yuyan, or does the author of the original novel understand her?
Seeing the bearded man battling wits with reporters, Cao Xuan slapped his thigh, wondering why he had forgotten about Jin Yong.
He knows this old man's moral integrity very well. Master Duanshui can never offend anyone with his beautiful words.
You can ask him to help you say something later, such as the famous saying "Ask Liu Tianxian to play Wang Yuyan, and everyone will know that Jin Yong did not lie, and there really is such a beauty in the world."
Although it will not be able to calm the storm, it can also reduce a lot of negative public opinion about Liu Tianxian.
As the boss of Fanxing, Cao Xuan cares about the image and reputation of the three artists. As the producer of "Dragon", Zhang Beard cares more about the exposure of the entire crew.
Without affecting the crew, he is willing to expose and hype too much to increase the popularity of "Dragon".
In principle, Cao Xuan is operated by Zhang Dabeard, but the prerequisite is that it cannot affect Fanxing Artists.
The two parties have a relevant agreement, which stipulates that Zhang Dabeard can use the three celebrities to promote the show, but the content must be approved by the stars, and the artists cannot be sacrificed to help the crew. Mutual benefit is the way to go.
………
After the press conference, the crew held a banquet in the hotel, and the actors, led by their managers, showed their faces to the bosses at the main table.
Cao Xuan looked at the three Fanxing artists who were bringing cups and directly told him: "Qianqian can have juice, Dong Xuan can drink wine, and Yan Kuan can have some beer."
"Mr. Cao doesn't drink it himself, so he's protecting his shortcomings."
Some investors ridiculed Cao Xuan, and Cao Xuan said confidently: "They are all good employees who make money for me. If I don't protect anyone, don't bully them, or I will come to your company to ask for an explanation."
"Mr. Cao is such a good boss."
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the three stars artists passed the test easily. With face taken care of, they went back to eat.
This was not the first time that this group of investors had met, and Cao Xuan was familiar with them, otherwise he would not have directly ordered the change of drinks in person. At most, he would have blocked Liu Tianxian as a minor, and then helped Dong Xuan and others to cover up.
Again, Vanity Fair couldn't help it. When they first met, Cao Xuan refused to drink. Then he stopped a group of subordinates from drinking. It was so disrespectful and really unjustifiable.
But it doesn’t matter if you are an acquaintance, just make a joke and have a haha.
Fanxing artists are protected by Cao Xuan, but other actors are not so lucky. They have to drink when they need to. All Cao Xuan can do is not make things difficult for the actors, and occasionally help to save them.
"Mr. Cao, I am Liu Tao. I have always been your fan. I am very happy to meet you today. Here's to you."
Bai...ahem, Liu Xian's wife held a goblet, clinked the half-cup of red wine with Cao Xuan's tea cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Except for Cao Xuan who intervened and inserted a few celebrities into the show, most of the other characters in "Dragon" are not much different from the original time and space.
It was widely rumored that a certain Zhao would play A'Zhu and A'Zi in two roles. In the end, I don't know if it was just a hype, or it was not agreed upon. In the end, the actors were replaced by Liu Xianqi and the heartthrob Chen Hao.
The former has just finished participating in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3". Although the latter has been deprived of her luck by the great beauty Zeng, her path is actually quite smooth. She is the 97th-level appearance of the Chinese Drama Theater and the youngest drama heroine in the history of human art.
Chen Hao had already said hello just now. In fact, the two of them knew each other. After all, one of them had an acting background, and Hu Jing, Zeng Li's fellow junior, had also struck up a conversation with each other. Although they were not familiar with each other, they had met each other.
However, this was the first time I met Cao Xuan, Liu Xian's wife, and I didn't expect her to be so fierce. I drank half a glass of wine right after she came on.
The goblet in her hand is not small, half a glass needs two or three ounces, and this is not how you drink even low-alcohol red wine.
"Take some food and squeeze it."
Cao Xuan took out a pair of unopened chopsticks and gestured to him to eat the food. Liu Xian's wife thanked him and took it, then naturally sat next to Cao Xuan.
After taking a simple bite, he put down his chopsticks and took the initiative to talk to Cao Xuan. He said nothing more than admiring his talent and looked at Cao Xuan with stars in his eyes.
Cao Xuan glanced at Hu Jun covertly. If he remembered correctly, these two were involved in the tent incident that caused a sensation in Tianya.
Although Cao Xuan doesn't really believe this, he really has no interest in Liu Xian's wife.
Although she is Teacher Bai in the hearts of countless people and seems to match Cao Daguan's character very well, Cao Xuan has never been able to get her looks.
In Cao Xuan's mind, the best candidate for Teacher Bai is Fan Xiaopang, Chen Su is also acceptable, and Gao Yuanyuan and Damimi are also candidates.
Ahem, but in any case, Liu Xian's wife's charming eyes were thrown to the blind man.
Regardless of whether she is sincere or fake, Cao Xuan really has no interest in her, not as good as Chen Hao. Although Cao Xuan has no interest in her, it is in line with the aesthetics, and small talk is also eye-catching...
