Chapter 259 【259】Isn’t this stretching out your face to slap someone

  Chapter 259【259】Isn’t this stretching out your face to slap someone?

As the internal director of China Television, Li Changge, who once filmed “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, his attention to “Great Wind Song” is essentially the same as his attention to “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”, which has already been broadcast. , are more inclined to observe, analyze, and compare as a creator’s mentality, and they don’t pay much attention to it.

However, “Great Wind Song”‘s attention to “The Legend of Condor Heroes” is a completely different attitude. It is a commercial view of competitors, and there may be a cooperative intention as a promotional binding object, but this kind of “Cooperation” is also entirely based on the need and purpose of promoting oneself.

  This directly led to the director Qian Mu as the main representative of “Great Wind Song”, who paid special attention to every move of “The Legend of Condor Heroes”, and naturally noticed the big move of the official lineup of the main cast.

Qian Mu is a standard “commercial TV drama” director, and he is naturally no stranger to many processes. He has long been confused by Li Changge’s “low-key” for a long time, and even suspected that the “China TV shooting” provided by Jing Yuan may not necessarily be accurate. Is the news broadcast on China TV” fake, or maybe Li Changge and the others feel that China TV has the bottom line anyway, so they don’t need to be so active?

  The key is that China TV is definitely not losing money by operating like this, but why are you so calm in Zhang Yang? A person who can write novels such as “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” and “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”, even if he is younger and more bookish, will not be so stupid?

   What’s more, there is Shangguan Qiyu, she has a whole team behind her, how could she make such a low-level mistake?

  You don’t need to rely on years of working experience. People with a little bit of brain and common sense know that there must be “something” in it. Combined with the things that the actors of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv have been keeping secret, Qian Mu gradually has two directions of speculation in his mind.

   The first is that Li Changge is preparing for a big move and waiting for the right time. The second is that Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv, mainly Xiaolongnv, have not yet found a suitable and satisfactory candidate. The so-called secrecy is just to cover up this fact!

   This is undoubtedly a very stupid thing. It is completely unnecessary to do this. If you don’t find a suitable one, you can continue to look for it. There is no need to slap your face and pretend to be fat, and reject so many actresses who auditioned.

  An adult with a normal IQ, no, a child with a little brain would not do such a stupid thing, but Li Changge works within the system, so it is hard to say.

Relying on the experience that “reality is often more absurd than imagination”, Qian Mu faintly felt that the latter was closer to the truth, especially after his side officially announced the main creative lineup on the 29th, and Li Changge’s side still had no movement, he felt even more that he Guessed the ridiculous fact.

At noon on the 30th, at the dinner with investors and several actors, he uttered his two guesses. Obviously, he thought they were all absurd, but no one refuted them. After careful analysis, most of them were Agree.

   This is not because I am a director, but because what I said makes sense!

Frankly speaking, when he decided to compete with “The Legend of Condor Heroes” and learned that the other party was filmed by China Television and directed by Li Changge, he always felt a little guilty, but when he keenly penetrated the weakness under the strong appearance of the other party, After grasping the truth, this guilty conscience was finally swept away, and the heavy stone that was pressing on the bottom of my heart was thrown away, and there was a sense of comfort similar to elation.

   So what if the original work of “The Legend of Condor Heroes” is better?

   This is the little dragon girl who is successful, and the little dragon girl who is defeated!

   Of course, this is not impossible. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just find the “best” one. Aren’t Tong Xiaoke and Jing Yuan both suitable?

  It’s a pity, you, Li Changge, are here for success and failure. You are too old and don’t even know how to compromise… If you didn’t rely on CTS, how could you have the status and prestige you have now?

  Although he warned himself that the final ratings should prevail, but from the 29th to the 30th, Qian Mu, who followed the dynamics on the Internet, still felt very comfortable and became more energetic in his work.

The main actors of “Great Wind Song” have been confirmed, and the script has been basically completed, but some details still need to be further discussed. In the evening, Qian Mu was invited to a dinner to discuss the relevant details of the plot with the screenwriter Shi Yan and the male No. 3 Mu Yun .

Shi Yan is a veteran screenwriter in the industry. Qian Mu had worked with him once before, and it was quite pleasant. As for Mu Yun, half a year ago, he was a small character who was left in the circle and he would not even look at him. , Last year, I made a youth campus movie, and I actually got a director.

The director’s name is Tan Wei, and she used to be an actress who was popular all over the country. She married a rich husband, changed her career to be a producer and an investor, and made a living. Although she was almost retired in front of the audience. , her status in the circle has risen sharply, and she wants to be a director again in the past two years. The so-called big-budget movie of the youth genre is her director Virgo.

Qian Mu came to the appointment, naturally for the sake of Tan Wei’s face, otherwise he wouldn’t have swept his eyelids for a small guy like Mu Yun, let alone add drama to him, but this circle is full of connections, You help me this time, I will help you next time, who doesn’t have a time to help?

  It’s just a bit of drama, anyway, it’s not my own money, and this boy is handsome, those female audiences will definitely like to watch it, as for those who don’t like it…you can still watch beautiful women!

At the wine table, there was a lot of drinking and chatting. Qian Mu filmed a lot of TV dramas. In recent years, he has always wanted to develop into movies, but he suffered from no chance. Now Tan Wei has an opportunity, just when he wants to try to find out. , but the phone rang untimely. He was a little annoyed, but after taking a look, it was the assistant’s call.

   This guy knows that he has something to do tonight, if there is nothing else, he probably won’t call easily…

Qian Mu pleaded guilty, and connected the phone on the table. Tan Wei is not ostentatious, and he knows how to be kind to others. At this time, the others naturally lowered their voices in a sensible way. The voice of the assistant inside.

   “The “Sculpture of God” has just been officially announced…”

  Qian Mu’s heart skipped a beat, but with many years of experience, this city government is naturally not a problem, so he calmly asked with a smile: “How do you say?”

   “Directed by Li Changge, Zhang Yang and Lin still play Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv.”

  Qian Mu was slightly stunned, and asked after a while: “Is there any more?”

   “No, that’s all.”

“I see.”

Qian Mu hung up the phone, told the news just now, the table was silent, and Tan Wei also heard from Jing Yuan that Zhang Yang was Zhang Muzhi, so he specially invited Shang Gongyu to be a consultant, just to In the future, when China TV promotes, it can also say “we also respect the original work, and the original author is a consultant”, so that we will not lose the respect for the original work.

In the previous screen adaptations, the approach of “taking the essence” of the original work was more. As for what the essence is, it is a matter of opinion. Many people in the industry have noticed the influence of fans of the original book.

It cannot be said that this has not appeared in previous martial arts adaptations, but in terms of the influence of the original work, there has never been such a high level as “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” before. Choosing such a work to adapt has its advantages and disadvantages. Obvious.

The advantage is that the original work has great influence, and the adaptation can easily gain more attention. The disadvantage is also the same, that is, the adaptation of the novel to the TV series. The changes in it can easily cause dissatisfaction among fans of the original work. The TV series “Shooting the Condor” is one Obvious example.

Both Tan Wei and Qian Mu felt that their attention to the readers of the original work was very timely. They invited Shang Gongyu as a consultant. The author is not news of an order of magnitude at all… But at least for the TV series, the identities of the two are equal, and both the original authors participated in the creation.

  What the other party can promote, you can also promote.

   In addition, the two also prepared some countermeasures.

Although Zhang Yang’s identity can bring more shock and attention, it is also a double-edged sword. Novels and literati circles are also Vanity Fair. Zhang Muzhi turned out to be a 20-year-old boy. He is even in high school… This matter can be promoted positively, or it can be guided negatively.

  Is it appropriate for you to praise something written by such a high school student so highly?

   It turned out that Li Changge actually asked Zhang Yang to play Yang Guo? Can he act?

  In an instant, Qian Mu even felt a little angry. What do you, Li Changge, take acting for? In order to create a gimmick, in order to attract attention, you even let Zhang Yang play Yang Guo?

  He just sings and writes novels, and he knows how to act!

Mu Yun saw that Director Qian and Sister Wei didn’t speak, and the others didn’t dare to speak. The scene was a little stiff, so he laughed happily, “They can’t find anyone, let Zhang Yang play Yang Guo? Didn’t you say that before?” Have Chen Shuwang and Feng Yanyu auditioned?”

  Two people sitting beside him also laughed, Tan Wei glanced at Mu Yun, looked at the two people who were smiling very happily, and said indifferently: “Zhang Yang is Zhang Muzhi.”

There was another moment of silence in the box, and Mu Yun was stunned for a moment before he really realized the meaning of this sentence. There was a short gap, and then he remembered the intersection with Zhang Yang. It was Zhang Yang who was going to shoot the MV of “Chrysanthemum Terrace” last year. , he was supposed to be the male lead, I met Zhang Yang once, he looks good, but not as handsome as himself, he treats people very kindly, he doesn’t have the airs of a big star…

I can be regarded as half of his fans. Originally, being able to film “Chrysanthemum Terrace” was already a wishful thing, but who would have a better chance, so I had to break the contract and go to a higher place. If I could choose, I would definitely finish filming “Chrysanthemum Terrace” first and then go to Sister Wei’s side, but saving a scene is like putting out a fire, so I can only choose one of the two.

  But the facts also proved that my choice was not wrong, otherwise the movie hadn’t been released yet, so why would I get the male number three in “Great Wind Song”? And you can also drink and eat with the director at the same table, and discuss adding scenes with yourself…

   No wonder Zhang Yang invested in “The Legend of Condor Heroes”. At first, he was surprised, thinking that he was relying on Lin Yiran’s family relationship to cooperate with China TV. It turns out that he is Zhang Muzhi… It really subverts the imagination!

These thoughts flashed through Mu Yun’s mind, seeing that apart from Director Qian, everyone else obviously just knew about this matter, and their expressions were a little dazed, and looking at the expressions of Director Qian and Sister Wei, he knew it was best not to Talk nonsense, so keep silent.

Although Director Qian and Sister Wei knew that Zhang Yang was Zhang Muzhi’s business, they obviously didn’t think that Zhang Yang would be filming. From their point of view…no, it should be the reality. They looked down on celebrities at all…except for Sister Wei…Zhang Yang Why did you go to film?

Shi Yan was also shocked by this news, and suddenly understood many things that were originally doubtful, and glanced at Mu Yun, hiding his little pride in his heart, thinking that I already know the expressions of Director Qian and Sister Wei, so it is better not to speak lightly Well, how about silence is golden?

  But the headquarters can’t talk. Although I’m just a screenwriter, I can’t worry about these things, but I don’t want to have any effect, but it’s enough to show my attitude…

   After pondering for a while, Shi Yan had a serious attitude as if he was facing an enemy, as if he was not drinking at the moment, but having a meeting, and said slowly: “They must want to use this publicity.”

   “There’s nothing we can do if we know it. Even if we tell it in advance, it’s useless. We just help them out.”

Qian Mu sighed, this is the reason for his anger, and he couldn’t think of a way to deal with it, “He is the original author, and it is difficult to question his qualifications for acting, and his publicity image is not bad, let alone And Lin still…”

After learning about this incident, everyone at the scene ignored Lin Yiran and tried not to discuss her. Apart from hearing about her background, it was also because of their first reaction when they heard that she was going to play the little dragon girl. , almost always: it seems… quite appropriate…

Tan Wei, who had been silent all this time, shook his head at this moment, and said: “Not necessarily, even if he is the original author, he is still just a rookie with no experience in acting. Just because he writes a good novel doesn’t mean he can play the leading role well, otherwise It’s not difficult to find any actors, just invite the author? There is a specialization in the art industry, and it’s not difficult to grasp this point and attack them in this area… But under the impact of his identity announcement, how much effect can it have…”

She thought for a while and said carefully: “The important thing is the sequence. We don’t do anything until they disclose their identities. After they disclose their identities, the public opinion and enthusiasm will reach their peak and start to fade. We are here to guide everyone to reflect …Of course, in the final analysis, we still have to look at the final film, and in this process, we must pay attention to proportion, and focus on Zhang Yang, not to affect Lin Yiran or Huashi.”

   Without waiting for others to respond, Tan Wei added: “One more thing, Zhang Yang is the investor, which is also very important.”

The shock of knowing that Zhang Yang played Yang Guo suddenly subsided, Qian Mu calmed down, and felt that what Tan Wei said made sense, nodded and said: “Sister Wei said, we will watch them now, and when they finish the promotion, everyone After everyone was amazed and excited, the matter of Zhang Yang’s investment broke out, starting from the perspective that he has never filmed… This is also true. It is definitely not easy for a young man who has never acted to play Yang Guo Things, not to mention the vicissitudes of life sixteen years later, just the feeling of being both good and evil is enough for him to think about.”

  The more he said it, the more he felt it made sense, and his voice became louder, “Besides, he still has to go to class and sing. It would be fine if he lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds, but I’m afraid that when the watermelon is lost, the sesame seeds won’t be picked up either.”

Everyone laughed at the same time, and the atmosphere in the box became warm again. However, compared with before the phone call just now, it always made people feel a little awkward. It seemed that if they didn’t act happier and more comfortable, they were afraid of being noticed. to the same.

The dinner ended after eleven o’clock in the evening, and Mu Yun and Tan Wei left in a car. No one recognized him, but Tan Wei was different, so he was very careful, but this was not the first time. Be careful, be careful. It was not as trembling with a little excitement and anticipation as it was at the beginning.

Because of Qian Mu and Shi Yan’s care for the scene, Mu Yun was overjoyed and in a good mood. He went back to the hotel together and tried his best to please the performance. When he opened his eyes the next morning, it was almost ten o’clock, and he performed again and fell into a deep sleep. , and was woken up by the phone ringing.

It was Tan Wei’s cell phone, and the caller was Qian Mu. Qian Mu, who always behaved calmly and respectfully in front of Tan Wei, seemed a little out of breath. Mu Yun was in a daze when he heard him swear on the phone: ” I don’t know who’s who, it’s already exposed the matter of Zhang Yang’s investment, made it into the hot search, and directly questioned Zhang Yang’s reason for playing Yang Guo… Isn’t this stretching out his face to give others a slap? What a stupid thing!”
