249 The influence of the No. 1 superstar from Shandong Province
The popularity of "The Unruly Princess" has brought Hu Jing and Pan Yueming to a higher level. Yan Kuan, Gao Yuanyuan and Yang Xue are also famous, especially the first two.
"Armor Warrior" has a male and female protagonist, and this time it can be regarded as the second combination of CP. In addition, it is a handsome man and a beautiful woman, which has attracted a lot of attention from the audience, and relevant media have begun to hype the scandal.
Although the two parties involved and Fanxing made clarifications afterwards, the purpose of exposure was achieved.
Especially Yan Kuan, who took advantage of this scandal to break out of the industry, and Fanxing Company immediately arranged a series of publicity plans to promote him to the top.
There is no way, there is no shortage of female stars among the stars nowadays, whether it is Hu Jing, the first lady in the company, or Dong Xuan, a popular little girl, they are very popular.
Now Gao Yuanyuan has also begun to show up, and there will be follow-up dramas starring Liu Tianxian and Yang Xue.
In addition, there are also non-staff boss wife Zeng Li, hosts Liu Yan, Hu Ke and good-looking singer Gu Miaomiao who can take the lead at any time.
It can be said that Fanxing only worries about having too many female stars, but does not feel that there are not enough.
On the contrary, it is the male stars. Except for Cao Xuan, there is no one who can shoulder the important role for the time being.
Currently, of the two who have become famous, Zhang Zijian is a little older and his business attributes are not high, so the company focuses on cultivating Yan Kuan.
Trying to find a capable actor as soon as possible to avoid the company's dilemma.
This allowed Yan Kuan to obtain publicity resources that many star artists would envy.
The second male lead in "The Unruly Princess" has just been aired and has just made his debut. Fanxing has already started to create Yan Kuan's character as a "beautiful man in ancient costume", which will pave the way for Murong Fu in "The Legend of the Dragon" and Song Qingshu in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".
I believe that with two important male supporting roles in Jin Yong dramas, coupled with a series of publicity stunts, there is a high chance that Yan Kuan will become completely popular next year.
Dong Xuan, Yan Kuan and Gao Yuanyuan became famous one after another, and Hu Jing and Pan Yueming were even more stable.
Behind the booming development, Fanxing has also received great help, allowing many people in the industry to see Fanxing's rich film and television resources and strong ability to create stars.
Fanxing has become the first choice agency for many artists or newcomers who want to break into the entertainment industry.
The most intuitive expression is that Hu Ge, who Fanxing has been in contact with before, wants to stay in the Magic City due to family and school reasons, but is not willing to come to the capital to develop, so he has been hesitating between Fanxing and Tang Ren.
Cai Yinong of the Tang Dynasty was very optimistic about Hu Ge, especially after learning that Fanxing was also interested in signing him.
It was precisely because of the participation of the Tang Dynasty that Fanxing failed to capture Hu Ge. For this reason, Boss Cao kept a small notebook in mind.
Originally, I only wanted to pick up a series called "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but now I can't find any of them including "Step by Step", "Young General of the Yang Family", "The Strange Man" and "Liao Zhai".
What other sweets are Shiminazha? Grab as much as you can...
However, although the Tang Dynasty has a convenient location, the stalls are still small after all, and their appeal to artists is far less than that of Stars.
When an actor signs a contract with the company, Bende will stand out. The so-called other problems are not insurmountable. After Yan Kuan and others came forward to show the strength of Fanxing, Hu Ge made up his mind and signed with Fanxing.
Fanxing did not disappoint him, and immediately assigned him two projects - "Armor Warrior 2" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
The latter did not mention the role. Hu Ge, a newcomer, also thought of the male protagonist, but only thought of it as a supporting role, so the focus was entirely on "Armor Warrior 2".
"Sister Cai, can I not act in a tokusatsu drama?"
Coincidentally, the agent assigned to Hu Ge after signing with Fanxing also had the surname Cai. This reminded him of Cai Yinong, who had just rejected him personally not long ago, and he felt a little awkward.
Manager Sister Cai didn't know his psychology, but she just felt that this newcomer was a little ignorant.
"Why don't you want to act? This is the male lead."
"Tokusatsu dramas, I always feel are too childish if they are meant for children."
Hu Ge expressed his thoughts, and his agent, Sister Cai, seriously corrected him: "You have such an unreasonable idea. How can an actor choose a role? And don't underestimate the tokusatsu drama. This is specially arranged by the boss."
Tokusatsu dramas may seem childish, but they allow actors to let go of unnecessary psychological baggage, liberate their nature, and release themselves.
Moreover, wearing a leather suit for filming is quite difficult. It can hone the actor's will and cultivate a hard-working spirit. It can be said that the company is a physical and mental test for you newcomers.
Several male artists in front of our company, Yan Kuan, Qiao Zhenyu, and Zhang Zijian, have all played armored warriors and have been recognized by the company, so they are focused on training.
Besides, our boss has personally played the role of Emperor Man, and you are still picky and picky. Is this the attitude a real actor should have? This is how you teach students when you go to theater..."
Hu Ge was scolded to the point of being silent. He was ashamed of his professional attitude as an actor, and felt guilty for letting down Boss Cao's hard work. He wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"Sister Cai, please stop talking. I will perform well and live up to your and the boss's high expectations."
Hu Ge was so ashamed that he immediately expressed his position resolutely. Sister Cai was very satisfied. The newcomer was just easy to... ahem, willing to listen to correct opinions.
Hit a stick and give him a sweet date. Seeing that Hu Ge was subdued, Sister Cai also started to be gentle and coaxing.
"Don't underestimate the drama "Armor Warrior". It has been re-broadcast on many channels during the summer vacation. Its influence is no less than that of many popular dramas.
Although the age of the audience is relatively young, they will eventually grow up one day, and by then the goodwill they have accumulated since childhood will become your loyal fans."
After some explanation, Hu Ge’s last resistance disappeared.
Putting aside the "shame" aspect, "Armor Warrior 2" is indeed a very rare opportunity for newcomers.
Most people wouldn't have a chance to fight for it, and he still rejected it, which was indeed a bit ignorant.
"Sister Cai, I heard that there are three people starring this time."
Hu Ge put down his struggle, but suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.
"That's right, the last one was the Five Elements Armor, this time it's the Three Talents Armor, the Heaven and Earth People, or the Heaven and Earth, the Right Place and the Right People. The name hasn't been finalized yet, you are the Ichiban, the Heaven or the Heaven and Time Armor."
"Have the others been found yet?"
"Not yet, but I heard that I found a freshman from Nortel called Luo Jin's Actor or Renhe Armor. I haven't heard of the other one."
"How about I recommend a candidate to the director? I have a good friend named Yuan. He is also a theater student. His appearance and acting skills are both good."
"Okay, you can talk to the director later. He is worried about someone. If you solve it, he will have a good impression of you."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Hu Ge's face was full of joy. Although he was convinced that it didn't matter if he acted in a tokusatsu drama, in his heart he still hoped to bring a good brother into the water. No, it should be to experience hardships together.
Good brothers, we enjoy the blessing together. If we are laughed at in the future, we will bear it together...
………
Cao Xuan didn't know Hu Ge's "struggle". After deciding to let him star in "Armor Warrior 2" to satisfy his bad taste, Boss Cao put it behind him.
On November 8th, "When Men Are in Love" was quietly launched in Weicheng, Shandong Province.
Because it is an urban setting, it is still the 1990s, so we have to choose towns that are less developed, that is, second- and third-tier small cities, in line with the color of the times.
Since it involves a lot of real-life shooting, in order to ensure smooth filming, the crew deliberately chose to keep a low profile during filming.
Otherwise, if the news leaks out, the popularity of Cao Xuan and Hu Jing might attract a large number of nearby people to visit, and the movie will not be made.
In fact, the first location selection was in Zao City. Cao Daguan wanted to return to his hometown in glory.
As a result, the people in my hometown were so enthusiastic that no one showed up. There was just a rumor, and then the whole city exploded.
Cao Xuan took a look and realized that if this was really shot in his hometown, the security pressure would be too great, so he changed to Weishi, a slightly remote city, and found a town that met the conditions of the times and had a slightly smaller population. There was also a sea view, so the security pressure for the filming was relatively less.
big.
As a superstar from Shandong Province, even the number one superstar, Cao Xuan returned to his hometown to film, and received active cooperation from local officials and residents in Wei City, which saved Cao Xuan a lot of trouble.
Apart from other things, there were two street scenes on the second day of filming. In order to prevent irrelevant people from affecting the filming, the neighborhood committee took the initiative and directly contacted the relevant units to block the streets.
The merchants on the street had no objections, so Le Diantian agreed and acted as a group performer for free. Without any conditions, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing were embarrassed and took the initiative to take photos with the merchants to express their gratitude.
When "When Men Fall in Love" first started filming, the number of onlookers near the set ranged from a few thousand to tens of thousands every day. Some even drove from other prefecture-level cities to watch the stars.
The entire crew of "When Men Are in Love", from the director to the recorders, were all surprised by Cao Xuan's influence in Lu Province.
Cao Xuan himself was also very emotional. Firstly, he was grateful for the support of his parents in his hometown in Lu Province, and secondly, he was glad that he did not go to Zaoshi.
This is the case in the slightly remote Weishi. If it were in Zaoshi, together with the excited family members in this city and several surrounding cities, people from Jiangsu Province would probably come over, and the crew would really not want to stop...
