549 The Battle of Xianmi and the Return to China Next Week
The Internet craze in April 2009 was led by two TV series.
Hu Ge, one of the new four big stars in the mainland, and Da Mi Mi, one of the four new big stars in the mainland, are two of the top names in the Star TV field. They have joined forces again after last year's hit "Tang Gong Suo Jade", which is full of gimmicks.
What's even more gimmick is that "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is the sequel to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that made Liu Tianxian and Hu Ge famous.
Before this TV series, Liu Tianxian had already become the fairy sister in "Dragon Movie", and Hu Ge was the second generation star in "Armor Warrior".
The popularity is not low, but the background is still shallow after all. Until the two collaborated in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the success of the two roles of Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er laid the foundation for the two to become the top stars of the new generation.
After a few years, Hu Ge starred in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" again, but the heroine changed from Liu Tianxian to Da Mimi.
What's even more interesting is that Liu Tianxian and Hu Ge have been a couple in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Myth" and "Hello Time" respectively. [Hu Xian] CP has countless fans.
This is also the third collaboration between Damimi and Hu Ge after "The Heirs" and "Tang Gong Suo Jade". The number of fans of "Gomi" cannot be underestimated.
To this day, although Liu Tianxian and Damimi have not completely broken up with each other, the media and fans have recognized that the relationship between the two is not on good terms.
It’s not just the embarrassing performance of various details between the two people.
At the same time, it is also because the two of them are indeed the most powerful little flowers in the mainland. Even if they are really sisters, the outside world can make up a lot of grievances and hatreds for them.
There is no way, the two most popular young people born in 1985 are from the same company, so there is no need to worry about it, someone will automatically compare them.
Who is the first person with 85 flowers!
Who is the next sister of Fanxing after Fan Xiaopang!
Who is Boss Cao’s true love!
There were too many arguments between the two. The protagonist was suppressing the opponent's strength, the fans were also dissatisfied with each other, and the media was even more ecstatic. Finally, Fanxing's big melon was eaten.
Since the founding of the company in 1997, Fanxing's biggest problem has been Boss Cao's harem. Although there are frictions among internal artists, the overall situation is under small-scale control.
When Fan Xiaopang signed for Fanxing, everyone was gearing up and looking forward to the fight between Hu and Fan.
Unexpectedly, Hu Jing took the initiative to retreat behind the scenes and gave up her position as the first sister.
Everyone had to place their expectations on Gao Yuanyuan and Dong Xuan, hoping that they would attack Fan Xiaopang head-on and start a sister war.
However, although a few people made some moves, they were too weak to take the beating. In less than two years, Fan Xiaopang had secured her position as the new first sister.
After the rise of Hu Ge, the outside world also wanted to make Yan Kuan and Hu Ge have some conflicts. However, although the two had competition, their relationship with each other was not bad.
After Yan Kuan left Fanxing, Hu Ge posted a commemorative message, thanking Yan Kuan for taking care of him when he first joined the company. Some time ago, the two got together, took a photo and posted it on Weibo.
Generally speaking, compared to other film and television entertainment companies, especially Huayi, which is constantly gossiping, the artists like Fanxing are like a family who love each other.
However, even a family that loves each other sometimes breaks up and breaks up. In the past few years, it was not very noticeable. In the past two years, with the rise of Damimi, the dispute over "Xianmi" based on the two parties in the East and West Palaces has been completely unable to hide it.
Already.
The melon-eating masses and the media are so happy!
They are really tired of Cao Xuan's old melon. After all these years, the internal artists finally started a war.
In fact, fans from both sides have clashed several times before. Almost as long as both sides have popular works, fans will go to ridicule the other side.
Anyone who frequents Weibo's Tianya Post Bar knows that if you want to find fans of Da Mimi, if you praise Liu Tianxian, there will definitely be fans who will express their dissatisfaction.
In the same way, there has been no shortage of clamor and resistance from Tianxian fans on Weibo for posts praising Da Mimi.
As soon as "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was released as a blockbuster hit, fans of the two families knew what to expect.
One side is arrogant, the other side is contemptuous, and the quarrel is endless.
Such a trend will definitely have a negative impact on the two artists, but it also has an advantage, that is, the fans of the two companies work together to dominate the charts, creating a joint effect.
Although fighting each other is lively, if there is a third party, an alliance will be formed immediately.
For example, fans of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the pair of peerless twins, are often at loggerheads. But if you say that a certain star surpasses Melo, you will immediately be besieged by both sides.
The same was true when Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi joined forces. The eldest and second eldest brother fought back, but they always suppressed the third eldest brother, Chef Xie.
Damimi and Liu Tianxian also had this attitude at this time.
Although fans of both sides are dissatisfied with each other, Liu Tianxian's fans only admit that Da Mimi from 85 Flowers is qualified to threaten them, and Da Mimi's fans also feel that Liu Tianxian is the only one among 85 Flowers that can tie with them.
Before the selection of the new four Xiaohuadan, the fans of the two groups rarely joined forces and defeated the fans of Huang Shengyi and Wang Luodan. The former was almost destroyed by Liu Yang's coalition.
There are pros and cons, and even Fanxing and Cao Xuan, who are looming behind the scenes, dare not say whether this bundled marketing is a good thing.
But what is clear is that Liu and Yang will not lack popularity in the future.
Especially for Damimi, whose career popularity is obviously lower, this will help her to improve her status as a celebrity.
Liu Tianxian also has advantages. She is not as fussy as Da Mimi. Because of her personality, she does not speculate on scandals much, and her personality is relatively Buddhist. She lacks exposure compared to artists of the same level.
With such a "good sister", if the two sides fight in the future, the exposure will be terrible.
Everything has to be gained, and the two of them are destined to never be good sisters anyway. Instead of hiding it and arousing suspicion from all parties, it is better to make the competition public and put the matter on the bright side.
As long as the main character doesn't start a fight, the fans can guide and control the situation and keep it within a certain range.
According to the practice of the fan circle, maybe the fans of the two groups will show their feelings for each other while being secretive...
"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is a blockbuster hit and has attracted a lot of attention. It is also the sequel to Liu Tianxian's masterpiece "Legend of Sword and Fairy", so comparisons are inevitable. In addition, the discord between the two heroines is inevitable.
Great war.
Which TV series is popular?
Which heroine is more lovable?
Which one is more beautiful?
Which one has the most fans because of this show?
Which one is more similar to the male protagonist Hu Ge?
Anything can be torn apart. The two families officially started a war, and the fighting was so violent that the world was shattered. Especially Hu Ge and his fans at the center of the storm were trembling in the middle of the two battlefields.
It's not that he's afraid, but the point is there's no need to get involved. Neither he nor the fans want to be a knife in the hands of either party.
Hu Ge (scared): Not familiar, no love, please let me go!
Compared with Hu Ge's pretending to be dead, Qiao Zhenyu, who played the white tofu Xu Changqing, did not interfere at all, but several other actresses in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" actively and passively participated in the battle.
Needless to say, Zhao Xiaodao has long been recognized as Da Mimi's best friend and cannot be avoided.
Tang Yan is not easy to hide. At the same time, because she is Liu Tianxian's classmate, she has become Da Mimi's best friend, so she is considered a traitor by Tianxian fans, and they focus their fire on her.
Liu Shishi is indeed a disaster. She is not close to Damimi, but she can't bear to look like Liu Tianxian, so she is connoted by Tianxian fans and is forced to side with Damimi.
However, these three have just become popular, and their fans' fighting ability is limited, not enough to beat the fairy fans. They belong to the atmosphere group, and the main battle is between the Yang and Liu families.
How can I put it this way, Da Mimi is very popular, but her fans are really not as many as those of Tianxian.
In the past two years, Da Mi Mi has entered its peak period, with constant masterpieces and crazy fans, but the number is only about 3/5 of Tianxian.
After the war, we can't say that we won't fight back after being beaten, but the overall strategy is defensive. It is not difficult to defend the home, but it is difficult to truly threaten the basic base of Tianxian Fan.
And the most frightening thing is that Liu Tianxian has a huge popularity among passers-by, and many people will be biased when eating melons, which inadvertently gives Damimi another heavy blow.
In addition to Weibo and Tieba, which are platforms with their own territory, and Tianya and Shiguang.com, which are two neutral battlefields, Damimi is losing ground.
At the most exaggerated moment, Tianxian fans massacred the game and occupied several related sections of Tianya, and the Tianya server almost collapsed.
That is to say, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is on the air right now, so give Damimi a steady stream of blood transfusions, otherwise Damimi is likely to suffer a humiliating defeat.
Moreover, this is the situation where Nishinomiya Qunxian did not participate in the war, so the fans of this group of people cannot be said to be very brave, but with the strength of a toad, after all, there is also a popular little girl (Guo Zhenni) and several
Second- and third-tier stars, swarming around, can also give Damimi a few knives.
The first public Fairy Honey War, judging from the post-mortem results of all parties.
There is no doubt that Damimi lost, and she lost so cleanly that she didn't even have the capital to speak harshly.
But what makes Damimi a little happy is that.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" made her two good sisters Zhao Xiaodao and Tang Yan popular, and Liu Shishi is also very popular.
More importantly, these three people, Liu Tianxian, have all been offended this time. As time goes by, even if they cannot become allies, they will still have a common enemy.
Damimi has been suppressed by Liu Tianxian for so many years, and her character has been tempered long ago.
And although she lost the fan war this time, the ratings of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" were huge, taking her career to the next level. As her fame increased, her commercial value soared.
In the second half of the year, it is expected to earn more than RMB 20 million from related endorsements and business.
This commercial value, leaving aside the pervert Cao Xuan, is second only to Fan Xiaopang and Liu Tianxian in Fanxing.
And these are just the projects that we are interested in approaching now. It is entirely possible to discuss several more in the second half of the year, and the total annual income will exceed 40 million.
With this number, you can even try to reach the top five in the Forbes celebrity list. Guaranteed to be in the top ten is not a big problem.
It may not be a big deal to catch up with Fan Xiaopang, but as long as Liu Tianxian doesn't talk about the next sky-high endorsement or film contract in the second half of the year, he will steadily surpass his opponent.
This gave Damimi a lot of confidence.
Popularity, popularity, and influence of works are not easy to chase, so focus on commercial value.
Especially for Fanxing Company, reputation is illusory. Whoever can cash out and make more money is the one most recognized by the company.
If she can bring 100 million in revenue to the company a year, Damimi can guarantee that all the top management of Fanxing will support her as the first sister of Fanxing. If she can earn 1 billion a year, even Hu Jing, the vice president, will have to give it to her.
Da Mi Mi was overtaking in a curve while waiting for Liu Tianxian to stretch his hips.
She found out from Hu Jing that Cao Xuan was very dissatisfied with the movie "Three Kingdoms·Guandu". She was expecting this movie to be Liu's Waterloo.
Compared with "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", the discussion of the other TV series is definitely much weaker, but the ratings are even better.
That is the famous spy drama "Insidious".
Sun Honglei, who has not developed much since "New World" and "Feng Shen Bang", reached the top in one battle and consolidated his status as a top star.
He was asked to be the voice actor of Xiao Chenyang in Lao Mouzi's new drama "Three Shots", but Sun Honglei refused directly. Later, he couldn't bear it because of his old friendship with Lao Mouzi, and in addition, he has really developed movies in the past two years.
It didn't go well, so I agreed to appear.
As for the heroine Yin Zhao, she also jumped into the ranks of first-line actresses with her role as Cuiping in the TV series and another film "The Secret History of Concubine Yang".
Because of this, there are still many people in Fanxing who feel sorry for it and feel that it would be better if this role was played by one of their own artists.
Cao Xuan doesn't worry about this. He still likes the drama "Latent" quite a lot.
When "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was aired, he only focused on eating melons. When "Latent" was aired, he occasionally caught up on the show. The two jokes that impressed him the most were the two.
One: Emei Peak, still photo alone.
Second: The one who will become famous again in 2022...the poor Ma Kui.
………
April 21, Star Cinema
Cao Xuan, who has been producing albums, made a special trip to the "Three Kingdoms·Guandu" crew to make a guest appearance.
Mr. Han persuaded Cao Xuan several times to play Cao Cao in this drama, but Cao Xuan declined. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and let Cao Xuan play a few guest roles as Zhou Yu.
"Three Kingdoms·Guandu" actually has a Jiangdong scene. Sun Ce is an ally of Yuan Shao. In the battle of Guandu, he wanted to surprise Xuchang and stab Cao Cao in the back.
However, due to being assassinated and dying young, Jiangdong was in chaos, so he had no choice but to protect himself and the plan to attack Xuchang was abandoned.
The movie also filmed this scene and used conspiracy theories to turn the personal feud between Sun Ce and Xu Gong into an assassin secretly sent by Cao Cao to assassinate them.
It's not logically wrong, but I still feel a little bit wrong. It "stigmatizes" the three retainers and righteous men who avenge the Lord. In addition, the battle of Chibi for supremacy in the world was turned into the murderer/brother of Jiangdong and Cao Cao.
Deadly feud.
To put it harshly, I still haven’t avoided the shadow of the Hong Kong gang, and imagined the feud between princes as a corporate vendetta. If you can’t beat them, you will send killers...
Cao Xuan's role is very simple, Sun Ce's last appearance before his death, and then he takes charge of Jiangdong's military affairs, and persuades Sun Quan to endure the humiliation and lead the Jiangdong forces to withdraw from the Battle of Guandu.
It’s hard to say whether this scene was added intentionally to appeal to Cao Xuan’s popularity, but apart from Cao Xuan, Sun Ce and Sun Quan both had different actors compared to “Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff”.
Sun Ce is An Zhijie from Xiangjiang, Cao Xuan has worked in "New Police Story" before, and Sun Quan has changed from Yan Kuan to Taiwanese Zhao Youting.
Cao Xuan had an impression of him. He was the husband of later generations, an "ugly man" in ancient costume who was known as a plastic surgery actor. He was also a member of Taiwan's famous male star "Heavenly Banquet".
These three have always been known for their abundant resources. Leaving aside the other two, Cao Xuan had a sense of this person's strength.
If his impression is correct, Zhao Youting had just made his debut in 2009. He started as the male lead in the TV series "The Ruffian Hero". He also beat the favorites and won the Taiwan Province's Golden Bell Award for Best Actor as a newcomer.
And now he is participating in "Three Kingdoms Guandu". You must know that this is a commercial production worth hundreds of millions. Even if it is a supporting role with only a few appearances, not everyone can play it, let alone playing opposite Cao Xuan.
But thinking about Wu Baige and the capital behind it, Cao Xuan understood.
Boss Cao's appearance is not limited. He came to guest appearance, and the director, starring, producer, and producer all came to greet him. Stars who did not have enough status were not even qualified to come in front of him.
"Director Wu, I am a fan of your movies. I have watched "A Better Tomorrow" countless times."
This was the first time that Cao Xuan met Wu Baige. No matter what he thought in his heart, he still gave this international director enough face.
Most of the others were acquaintances, and there were only two strangers in the core circle.
It’s not that he’s angry either. The first one looks a bit fierce and has a heroic demeanor. He is none other than the boss of Galloping Pony, Li Ming, nicknamed Big Dog. The second one has a confident and kind smile and is Boss Jia who will return to China next week.
It's not surprising that Cao Xuan appears in the former. Galloping Horse has been investing in film and television for the past two years, and Yixin is deeply tied to Wu Baige. He was originally one of the main investors in "Three Kingdoms·Guandu".
The appearance of the latter surprised Cao Xuan. After all, LeTV Video had just started and LeTV Pictures had not yet been established. Unexpectedly, Boss Jia had already started to get involved in movies.
It’s not surprising when you think about it. In recent years, Fanxing has made great strides to build an entertainment empire with a market value of hundreds of billions. Even a fool can see the prospects in this.
Wanda has made great efforts to develop theater chains. By the beginning of 2009, it had 350 screens and its box office share was close to 10% of the total mainland market.
You know, Cao Xuan's crazy investment in the Star Cinemas in the past two years has only been a little over 500 yuan, with a box office share of 15 to 20%. Wanda's scale has already entered the top five or even the top three of major cinema chains.
Tencent cooperated with Cao Xuan to launch Penguin Star Video and QQ Star Music layout music and video websites.
Alibaba invests in Huayi and other companies to promote the big entertainment strategy.
Internet and related companies such as Baidu, Sohu, and Sina are also unwilling to give in. Each has its own way of playing and wants to get a share of the pie.
Boss Ma’s LeTV is ambitious, so how could he remain indifferent? It’s easy to understand why he would follow up on a good project in advance.
In the impression of Galloping Pony, Huayi, LeTV, and Cao Xuan, the movie seems to be sponsored by Evergrande.
"..."
Cao Xuan wondered whether he should withdraw his investment in "Three Kingdoms·Guandu". It didn't matter if he lost some money, but don't implicate the company's fortunes with these people. It would scare people to death.
In fact, when filming a movie like this, not to mention the bosses behind the scenes, even the director Wu Baige may not be on site.
The reason why there is so much excitement today is probably because Cao Xuan is here.
Most film and television companies, such as Galloping Pony, want to build a good relationship with Cao Xuan, and they can follow suit for Fanxing's projects.
As for LeTV’s boss Jia, he actually wants to attract investment. He wants Cao Xuan, a well-known angel investor, to invest billions in LeTV.
Boss Jia was very eloquent. He explained LeTV’s grand vision in detail, including platform + content + terminal + application, and drew a blueprint that even Cao Xuan couldn’t help but imagine.
However, no matter how good his words were, Cao Xuan would not give him a cent.
Let’s not talk about LeTV’s well-known ending. The key to LeTV’s strategies is that except for terminal mobile TV and some development applications, Cao Xuan has no intention to intervene for the time being.
In several other fields, Fanxing was already working on it, and when he was full, he spent money to support his enemies.
Boss Jia came to Cao Xuan for investment. I really don’t know if he was too confident or if he thought Cao Xuan was a fool.
After the Penguin Star Video website was launched, the first move was to acquire a large number of genuine online film and television copyrights at low prices.
To this end, Fanxing and Penguin jointly spent 500 million yuan to purchase copyrights to replenish their library. This was largely aimed at LeTV Video, which had been hoarding exclusive copyrights.
I wonder if Boss Jia can sustain this 500 million?
So Boss Cao and Boss Jia had a good chat and almost became close friends. However, after Boss Jia left, Cao Xuan threw the business card he left to Zhang Chong.
"When this person calls from now on, he will tell me that I am busy."
Zhang Chong was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Boss Cao has always been a good person. Even people with whom he has a bad relationship will save a bit of face. Unlike this one, he is like hiding from the plague god.
After joining the group, we spent most of the day chatting and socializing. It was not until the afternoon that Cao Xuan successfully escaped and put on makeup to perform.
His opposite roles are mainly with the Sun brothers. An Zhijie is not bad, but he has acted more in action movies, but he can also perform well in literary dramas.
Whether it's the close friendship with Zhou Yu or the depression and unwillingness to die young, everything is handled well.
After Cao Xuan finished filming with him, he specifically asked if he had changed the phone number he left before. Although he didn't say anything, he remembered this person and might cast him for a suitable role in the future.
To put it bluntly, most of the mainland male actors in action movies are not as good as the ones in Hong Kong. If they are passable in literary dramas, they are a rare talent.
Um, it seems that An Zhijie is not from Xiangjiang, but an American, originally from Taiwan Province.
Chao Youting, who plays Sun Quan, is of Chinese Canadian descent. There is no Chinese actor in the Sun brothers.
Sun Wentai was furious!
Compared with An Zhijie's acting skills, Zhao Youting, who was just starting out at this time, did not have the ability to perform plastic surgery. When he acted opposite Cao Xuan, he was immediately turned into a scumbag.
Even if Cao Xuan accepted and accepted again and again, Zhao Youting's performance was still difficult to satisfy, and his youthfulness seemed excessive.
However, Zhao Youting himself was quite satisfied, and the executive director nodded. Cao Xuan thought that he was just a guest star anyway, so he was too lazy to say anything.
However, this experience also made Cao Xuan's impression of the movie drop again.
To be honest, after reading the script of this movie, Cao Xuan no longer considered whether it would be a box office hit and did not withdraw funding because of the luxurious starring cast.
Fa Ge (Cao Cao), Guo Tianwang (Yuan Shao), Chen Daoming (Xun Yu), his master Li Xuejian (Xu You), Jincheng Wu (Cao Pi), Liu Tianxian (Zhen Mi)...
With these stars around, the box office is at least guaranteed, and there is also the Japanese market, so Cao Xuan is optimistic about profitability overall.
But that’s it this time, after all, he initiated the Three Kingdoms project, and he really can’t get rid of it. Next time China Film or something makes a Three Kingdoms series, Fanxing will definitely not get involved.
ps: We haven’t seen the moon yet, and it will be afternoon without the moon...
