Chapter 453 If It’s Not Popular, Then It’s Not Popular!

In the original time and space, Deng Chao almost starred in Wei Xiaobao...

The agency contract was not successfully transferred to Huayi - he was still an artist at Pearl Media at the time. The agency publicly stated that it had never received an invitation, not even a script.

Finally, I decided on Huang Xiaoming...

In fact, Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" respects the original work very much, and the screenwriter hired Mr. Gao Dayong, one of the planners and screenwriters of "The Miracle Doctor Xilaile".

Unfortunately, it doesn’t taste right!

But the biggest problem with this drama is that Huang Xiaoming is not suitable for the role of Wei Xiaobao, both in terms of acting skills and his own image.

If there are other TV series, they can still help. "The Deer and the Cauldron" cannot. "The Deer and the Cauldron" can be said to be a completely autobiographical novel of Wei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao's scenes account for more than 99% of the whole book. The other heroines in it are Kangxi and Kangxi. Such supporting roles with many scenes serve to enrich the character of Wei Xiaobao.

Once Wei Xiaobao collapses, no matter how good the supporting actors are, they can't carry the whole show.

"The Deer and the Cauldron" is the kind of story that is difficult to overturn even if the case is overturned...

Therefore, Shen Xudong simply refused the invitation to be the screenwriter of "The Deer and the Cauldron"...

If Deng Chao successfully joins Huayi, he may be able to star in "The Deer and the Cauldron"...

After all, he joined Huayi and directly gave "Eternal Dragon Sword"...

It's a pity that during the "Yitian" period, director Yu Min completely let go. The weird color palette, the ever-changing lighting, and the big dark corners that were added for no apparent reason made it impossible to watch the plot of the TV series. , setting and actors’ acting skills.

Why did Deng Chao take on "Yi Tian"?

At this stage, it is the dream of many actors to play the leading role in Jin Yong's works.

Therefore, Shen Xudong asked simply: "...Which character in Jin Yong's works are you most interested in?"

Deng Chao was stunned for a moment: "...I don't have any special ideas."

Shen Xudong looked at his face: "How about Lin Pingzhi? I think you are quite suitable..."

"Lin Pingzhi?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Well... I will go to Hong Kong in a while and plan to talk to Mr. Jin Yong. Forget about other things, I will definitely reshoot "The Swordsman". Since I bought the adaptation rights, the protagonist will definitely not be Linghu Chong, I'm going to film "Swordsman" from Lin Pingzhi's perspective!"

"...Will Mr. Jin Yong agree?"

"Try to persuade as much as possible..."

Deng Chao nodded: "If you can really remake "Swordsman", I will act in it!"

"It's a deal!"

Shen Xudong said happily: "Everyone must testify!"

In fact, the craze for martial arts has passed quickly, and "The Condor" is considered a comeback!

In fact, Zhang Jizhong later filmed "The Deer and the Cauldron", "Blood Sword", "The Journey of the Knight"...

But its influence is far less than that of previous works.

The reason is probably because the audience doesn’t like watching it...

The main reason is the loss of freshness. The title of mainland Jin Yong drama was still very useful when it first came out, but the further it goes on, the less fresh it becomes!

Coupled with the rise of other types and ancient restrictions...

Bringing it back, at the launch conference of "Life Events", reporters directly asked two questions: why Han Yan was chosen to direct and the positioning of "Life Events".

"I have watched several of Han Yan's short films. He must be capable and have a complete plan for filming..."

""Life Events" can be seen from the title: it is about death. We Chinese say: except life and death, there are no big events... I have always wanted to write a story about funerals...

But when I write scripts, I hate writing particularly emotional things. I think good stories are both sad and happy, because that’s how life is!

This is a realistic movie, why should I do it? In fact, it is also a way to tell all audiences that domestic realism-themed movies are not just boring movies, they can be very good-looking! "

"Box office forecast... Our cost is 20 million. To recover the cost, we need at least 60 million in box office... Then we can make up a total of 100 million!"

"It will be released in the summer next year...then everyone will know the source of my confidence!"

At this point, the publicity task is almost complete. We talked about some irrelevant topics, such as our views on "The Condor".

"I'm also a producer, so I definitely have my own ideas... My opinion on "The Condor" is not important. I already made suggestions during the casting, but they just didn't adopt them..."

"The Deer and the Cauldron has nothing to do with me. Don't involve me when you report it..."

…

Zeng Li plays Yin Baixue.

She can be regarded as the heroine of "Life Events"...

In fact, "Life Events" does not have a heroine. All the story lines revolve around Mo Sanmei and Wu Xiaowen, and the other characters are supporting roles.

Zeng Li accepted this film mainly because she liked the script.

After filming "The Great Butler", I handed over the actor's contract to the company...

She is the kind of character who is content with being rich and doesn't have any big pursuits.

There is no competition or competition. She will basically accept any script arranged by the company...

In fact, she has a starring role in "The Sweeney" released this year - the posthumous work of director Chen Yifei.

The project that Jiang Wen and Jiang Wen had a quarrel with two years ago - Chen Yifei has a very strong personality. He is both the director and one of the investors of this movie. Jiang Wen is used to interfering in the filming, and the two had a big fight...

Huayi accepted the issuance...

Starring Chen Kun and Zeng Li.

Huayi wanted to stir up the scandal and use it to promote the movie.

The company refused, and Zeng Li had no idea, so she put it on hold...

Shen Xudong asked her why she refused to speculate?

Her idea is simple: she doesn’t like it!

Well, she was very satisfied with the current situation - she had constant acting appointments and a stable job. She wanted to have artistic exchanges, so she called Shen Xudong, who responded to her requests...

If you don’t have time, you will make time!

For example, now, Shen Xudong is leaving the next day, but he still spends a whole night communicating about art...

Her adaptability to the camera is very good...

Ahem.

After cleaning up the communication scene, Zeng Li glanced at Shen Xudong, who was recovering the photographic memory, and suddenly thought of something: "...You went to Hong Kong just to buy the copyright?"

"…copyright?"

""Swordsman", didn't you mean..."

"Oh," Shen Xudong explained: "That's just by the way. I mainly talk about cooperation and want to create several action movies with Jiahe..."

"How many?"

"Look at the box office and overseas feedback of "Taken"... If everything goes well, I'll sign three or five movies..."

“Why an action movie?”

“Because it’s difficult for other types of films to break into overseas markets!”

Shen Xudong is very patient and basically answers whatever she wants.

It was almost time. Shen Xudong had already put on his clothes and carried his suitcase. Suddenly he remembered something and told Zeng Li: "I think it would be better for you to cooperate with the publicity!"

Zeng Li looked puzzled: "What are you cooperating with?"

"Promotion for "The Barber"!"

"don't want!"

"...Just think of it as a movie...Besides, don't you also like "The Sweeney"?"

"I don't like this kind of publicity... Movies are movies, why do you want me to hype up scandals with actors?"

"It's propaganda...just know it's fake..."

Zeng Li still shook her head: "Stop talking, I won't agree!"

"...Okay, let me talk to the people in Huayi..."
