Chapter 640: Demons Are Dancing Wildly! My Eyes!!!
"What are you talking about? Wang Baoqiang said he had no schedule? He refused to appear in "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"?"
In the studio of the "Taoist Descending the Mountain" crew, Chen Kai frowned deeply after listening to Chen Hong's words.
As early as when the script was adapted, he had already chosen an actor for the role of "He Anxia", and it turned out to be Wang Baoqiang.
He even wrote a description of the character:
He is highly skilled in martial arts, ignorant of the world, kind and simple; he is the strongest martial arts disciple in the Taoist temple, so he was selected by his master to come down the mountain. After coming down from the mountain, he successively became disciples of Cui Daoning, Zhou Xiyu and Boss Cha, and studied martial arts hard; he is kind-hearted and affectionate in nature. Value righteousness, distinguish between love and hate, and pay attention to chivalry...
This role is simply tailor-made for Wang Baoqiang!
In "One Man's Martial Arts", Wang Baoqiang's martial arts skills made Brother Chen Kai very satisfied.
In terms of acting skills, he has outstanding works such as "Mr. Tree".
No matter from which aspect, he is the best choice for the role of "He Anxia".
But now the plan has been disrupted!
Brother Chen Kai never expected that Wang Baoqiang would be unavailable.
"Didn't he just take on the movie "Destined" recently? And it was banned by the General Administration, so how could it not be scheduled?"
Brother Chen Kai looked at Chen Hong reluctantly, with deep dissatisfaction on his face.
As the only Palme d'Or director in China, he also has a huge network of contacts. He is very proud!
Since filming, he has rarely encountered an actor rejecting him.
He had never thought that Wang Baoqiang would reject him.
Chen Hong shook his head helplessly: "You may not have paid much attention to the news recently. Feiyue Film and Television is preparing a new project, and Wang Baoqiang is the male lead."
"Can't we let their project wait?"
Chen Hong was not surprised at all that Brother Chen Kai would say such things.
The couple has lived and worked together for so many years, and she has a very thorough understanding of her man's "proud" mentality.
Whether in life or work, Brother Chen Kai is a very domineering and uncompromising person. It is not surprising that he would say something like stopping the Feiyue Film and Television project first.
However, Chen Hong still knows a lot about it.
Let the project of Feiyue Film and Television be shelved. This is something that the couple can only talk about, but if it spreads, they will laugh out loud.
Just the two of them, where did they get this ability?
"I can't do it." As a producer, Chen Hong directly expressed his "incompetence".
"Let me ask."
Brother Chen Kai was very unwilling. He picked up the mobile phone on the table and directly found Chen Fei's phone number.
The call was quickly connected, and the voice on the other end was slightly noisy.
Brother Chen Kai didn't care so much and directly expressed his intention to let Wang Baoqiang star in "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".
The noise suddenly quieted down, and Chen Fei, who was visiting the crew of "The Breakup Master", was stunned by what Chen Kai said.
Just call and ask for someone? Are you talking about delaying the "Detective Chinatown" project? Let Wang Baoqiang film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" first?
Good guy! How dare he?
Chen Fei was amused by what he said, and replied on the spot: "Director Chen, if you have a cold or fever, I suggest you go to the hospital and get an injection. I am not a doctor, and I can't cure your burned head."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fei cut off the phone call.
On the other side, Brother Chen Kai’s expression was extremely wonderful,
Once upon a time, almost no one in the huge entertainment circle rejected him!
But now?
Wang Baoqiang rejected him, and Chen Fei didn't give him any face. This was undoubtedly a slap in his face!
"Snapped!"
Brother Chen Kai smashed his cell phone to the ground angrily: "I don't believe it. In such a huge entertainment industry, I can't find a suitable actor?"
…
At this time, inside the crew of "The Breakup Master".
Wang Changtian was standing next to Chen Fei just now, so he heard the content of Cai Cai's call very clearly.
When he heard Chen Fei quarrel with Brother Chen Kai, he couldn't hold back his laughter. It wasn't until he hung up the phone that he laughed loudly.
"Haha, you don't give him any face at all!"
"I'll save him some face." Chen Fei curled his lips: "Does he really think that he is nothing? He also asked me to postpone my project. I think he really should register and go to a psychiatric department. ”
"He is indeed a proud man." Wang Changtian agreed while revealing a secret to Chen Fei: "I heard that he also contacted Chen Long and Li Lianjie, but they were also rejected."
"Well, I've heard about this too."
Jiang Wen talked with him about this matter and said that Brother Chen Kai wanted to copy the original cast of "The King of Kung Fu". Unfortunately, Poet Chen overestimated his appeal, and the two people didn't give him face at all.
"If nothing else happens, he should still go to Hong Kong to find someone."
"I think so too."
Among several major mainland directors, Chen Kaige is the only one who likes front-line actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and usually lets mainland actors dub actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which makes people very alienated.
Deng Chao was also there to accompany him, but as he had just become a director, he couldn't participate in this kind of topic at all, so he could only listen with a pessimistic attitude.
However, he is still immersed in Chen Fei's angry words against Brother Chen Kai, and he can't extricate himself for a long time.
"Is this the ability of big directors and big capital? Just start to attack whoever you are not happy with? Isn't this too cool?"
However, just when he was imagining whether there would be such a day in the future, he heard Chen Fei's questioning:
"Isn't the heroine of your play Yang Mi? Where is she? Why can't I see her?"
Deng Chao was stunned for a moment, then shrugged helplessly: "The filming of her "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was postponed, and it will take more than a week to finish filming, so I had to shoot other people's scenes first."
"Tsk tsk, overlapping again?"
Chen Fei didn't know how to evaluate Yang Mi.
Desperate woman!
...
The entertainment industry can't hide any secrets.
It wasn't long before Chen Fei left the crew of "Breakup Master" and rumors of his anger against Brother Chen Kai spread in the circle.
Jiang Wen, the gossipy man, called him immediately and asked about the relevant news with great interest.
Chen Fei didn't hide it from him and roughly told him the details.
"Good job, it feels good to be criticized, hahahaha! The next time the media interviews you, you can publicly criticize her..."
This is called watching the fun without minding the big things, and Jiang Wen is also very good at it.
Just after hanging up the phone, Chen Fei clicked the refresh button on the entertainment website, and then saw that Yu Zheng Studio released a casting announcement.
The new Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu are "freshly baked".
With curiosity, he clicked in, and then... the whole person was stunned!
It is no exaggeration to say that this casting by Yu Zheng Studio can be said to have given the entire entertainment industry a big shock!
This kind of shock is no less than seeing a pair of red embroidered shoes in the bathroom mirror at twelve o'clock in the morning!
"After careful consideration and selection by the team, after three rounds of auditions, we decided that actor 'Chen Xiao' will play Yang Guo, actor 'Chen Yanxi' will play Xiao Longnu, and actor 'Zhang Xueying' will play Guo Xiang...
The new version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has been decided to officially start filming at the end of this month. The makeup photos of the main actors are as follows..."
"F*ck?! My eyes! Damn it!"
On the computer screen, Chen Fei was in a panic. After closing the webpage at lightning speed, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally thought that Lu Bu was invincible, but he never expected that there would be a general in the world who was braver than him!
Yu Zheng, this guy, deserves to die!
Chen Fei almost had a stye after seeing Chen Yanxi's makeup photo!
He had an emergency hedging, but netizens were in trouble. They were all shocked and stood there!
Others were fine, but the key point was that the most anticipated Xiao Longnu was really too damn ruining.
The four makeup photos of Chen Yanxi with different angles and different expressions have completely overturned all the fans of the original novel and the drama, and it is rare that everyone stands on the opposite side of her.
The Little Dragon Girl in everyone's mind has always been a beauty like Liu Yifei and Li Ruotong.
The original novel by Mr. Jin Yong even described: "She is wearing a white dress like a green gauze, as if she is in the smoke and fog. She looks about 16 or 17 years old. Except for her black hair, her whole body is white and her face is beautiful and extraordinary..."
But what is the Little Dragon Girl in Chen Yanxi's version like?
If Chen Fei describes it, it would be: "She is wearing a white dress like a green gauze, as if she is a pure and unworldly steamed bun. When she smiles, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are crisscrossed, and the gap between her teeth is clearly visible..."
It's just... it's so far away!
Countless netizens on the Internet have already started to scold her. Looking around, there is no one who is praising her.
At this time, the Weibo of Yu Zheng's studio and his personal Weibo, including the comment area of the director and Chen Yanxi's Weibo, have all been occupied.
"The young and lovely Chen Yanxi in "Those Years, We Chased the Girl Together" has become popular all over Asia. I didn't expect that she became popular again because of the chubby-faced version of Xiaolongnu. Nowadays, martial arts remakes are getting more and more ridiculous. I can't bear to watch it!"
"Yu Zheng? Is he blind? How could he choose such a Xiaolongnu? He is sick!"
"Fuck! Boycott! Strongly boycott! My eyes!!!!"
"This is no longer Yang Guo's Xiaolongnu aunt, this is his real aunt, right? Isn't she too old?"
"No, I'm wondering, Chen Yanxi, how big is your face? How can you have the nerve to take such a role?"
"So, it's really because of the unspoken rules?"
The netizens were heartbroken and heartbroken. They didn't expect that after waiting for so long, they would actually wait for such a big piece of garbage.
In order to refresh their eyes, many people even found Liu Yifei's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" on Youku, ready to refresh their eyes.
Chen Fei chose to call Miss Liu herself to celebrate her birthday alone and refresh his eyes.
"What do you think of this Little Dragon Girl?"
After cutting a large piece of cake for Miss Liu, Chen Fei asked her opinion.
"Hehe."
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and giggled. She did not answer directly, but opened Weibo and found the new Weibo posted by Zhang Da Huzi, and showed it to Chen Fei.
Da Huzi was also depressed by Yu Zheng's operation. The new Weibo was full of diss:
"In the original work, Little Dragon Girl slept on a rope, but the person chosen by Yu Zheng was probably sleeping on an iron chain, right? And with her body shape, can she perform that kind of agile and elegant fighting scenes? Don't make it weird in the end..."
Although every time a Jin Yong drama is remade, the casting of actors will cause a wave of heated discussions, it is the first time that Yu Zheng has been targeted by the entire network.
What everyone did not expect was that in the face of the ridicule of the entire network, Yu Zheng had no intention of admitting defeat or apologizing. Instead, he responded publicly:
"I personally selected the role of Xiaolongnu. I am very satisfied with her makeup. The character is conceived according to the refined version 1:1. I firmly believe that she can be comparable to all previous versions of Xiaolongnu!
Chen Yanxi was the 65th person selected from the 66 Xiaolongnu women to be made up. After she was made up, everyone at the scene felt that the role of Xiaolongnu was very suitable for her, and I personally think so!
There may be a lot of doubts on the Internet now, but that is just your superficial opinion. Time will prove that my choice is the most correct. Please wait and see!"
As expected, this wave of "hard-line" remarks once again ushered in a large number of boycotts from netizens.
But it is undeniable that this drama has truly been followed by the entire network and successfully achieved Yu Zheng's goal of "becoming popular before it is broadcast."
The Xiaolongbao version of Little Dragon Girl is also very rare!
As for the ratings in the future, we can only wait and see.
…
There are movies scheduled every day, but there are unexpectedly many in September.
"White Fox" starring Gillian Chung and Julian Cheung, "Crazy All the Way" starring Chen Sicheng and Bao Bei'er, "Escape Plan" starring Liu Qingyun and Gu Tianle...
Looking around, many movies are scheduled at the end of September, obviously heading for the National Day.
This year's National Day is rare without big-budget movies, everyone is rushing to get a piece of the pie.
However, the appearance of the two imported movies "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier" and "Wolverine 2" has added some twists and turns to the National Day.
In front of these imported blockbusters, domestic films are really hard to resist!
If you want to resist, some low-cost movies alone will not work at all. The key is to have "blockbusters".
The General Administration probably realized this, and in the period approaching September, it suddenly called together the bosses of several well-known film and television companies in the circle and held a meeting again.
Chen Fei originally thought that this was just a mobilization meeting, which was nothing more than calling up people, publicizing the intentions of the General Administration, and expressing that it would strongly support the filming of large-investment film and television works, that's all.
But when he arrived at the scene, he realized that his previous idea was still too simple.
Looking around, in addition to the well-known film and television company bosses, directors, producers, and large studio bosses in the circle, including Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Sohu, Youku, Mango, LeTV and other major companies The bosses and heads of the company actually came to the scene!
With curiosity, Chen Fei found Han Sanping.
"Boss Han, what is the charter today? Why does it feel like there is going to be a big move?"
Han Sanping obviously knew some inside information, but because he was about to leave, he acted very calmly: "You will know later, there is a big 'surprise'!"
After sitting down, the leaders arrived at the scene soon.
Chen Fei thought that the person who presided over the meeting was the leader of the Film Bureau, but he never thought that the person who sat down was actually the deputy in charge of the entire entertainment and cultural sector!
The first sentence he said made his eyes light up.
"This meeting is mainly to combat the phenomenon of 'piracy' in the film and television industry. I invited you all here today to listen to your opinions..."
Chen Fei's heart was suddenly startled, and four words jumped out of his mind:
"Finally here!"
He instantly understood why the heads of these Internet companies participated today.
The key reason is that the Internet is one of the sources of piracy. If you want to really combat piracy, you must start from the Internet!
And this kind of attack is a very "good" event for both film and television companies and Internet companies.
Fighting piracy can increase the profits of film and television companies.
As for Internet companies... If they want to come in and produce by themselves, they must prevent their peers from moving!
For a time, a group of Internet companies led by Alibaba, Tencent, Sohu, etc. were so excited that the four words "actively speaking" were not enough to describe their behavior.
The meeting lasted for more than two hours. At the end, after collecting enough opinions, the leader set the tone:
"In order to accelerate the development of the film and television culture industry and encourage Internet companies to enter the film and television culture industry... within one year at the latest, 'piracy' must be eradicated, and multiple departments must cooperate..."
As soon as the voice fell, the whole audience burst into warm applause!
Gu Yongqiang, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and looked at Chen Fei excitedly, saying: "Mr. Chen, if piracy can be effectively eliminated, then our Youku will be one of the biggest winners!"
Chen Fei nodded gently, and while approving, he also reminded: "If you want to become the leader of the industry, in addition to being large enough, content and user experience are also key..."
"I understand."
Youku is the hard work of Gu Yongqiang. No matter what, he will not let this "child" go astray.
At the end of the meeting, Chen Fei heard a lot of discussions.
Without exception, many bosses of film and television production companies are looking forward to the entry of Internet companies, eager to pour money into them like the coal bosses back then.
Unfortunately, what they don’t know is that this group of people are not as stupid as the coal bosses at the beginning.
The main point of the coal bosses is to follow their heart. As long as the actresses are to their liking, the crew can shoot however they want. They will never come up to make comments.
But what about these Internet giants?
Chen Fei heard that since Alibaba invested in Chen Jingfei’s "Legend of White Ghost: Desperate Escape", a group of people have entered the project to control the progress and process of the project.
A few days ago, Alibaba even expressed its intention to acquire the listed company "Cultural China" in Hong Kong. The two sides are currently fighting fiercely.
Once the acquisition is successful, Internet companies will officially enter the game!
By then, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be another chaos!
