China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 143 Jin Yong is here and the King of Golden Songs

On April 4, "Marrying the Right Man on the Wrong Sedan Chair" was broadcast.

This drama, which only has 4 episodes, but it talks about [-] pairs of CPs, quickly attracted a certain amount of attention, and several leading actors such as Huang Yi and Nie Yuan became popular.

Speaking of which, more and more newcomers are starting to emerge this year.

"Brilliant Spring Pig Bajie" at the beginning of the year, "Daming Palace Ci" later, and now "Marrying the Right Man on the Wrong Sedan Chair" have attracted a lot of young actors.

Plus Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru, Zhou Jie, Lu Yi and others who became popular last year.

At the turn of the century, the post-70s began to formally enter the showbiz circle, "competing for power" with their predecessors.

Cao Xuan is still very concerned about the drama "Marrying the Right Man on the Wrong Sedan Chair", not only because he almost participated in it.

More importantly, Juanzi, one of the heroines of this show, is now starring in "Journey to the West" Fairy Biyou.

Cao Xuan didn't change her back then, his idea was to see if he could gain popularity and sell her more.

"Journey to the West" was launched in early February, and the shooting progress is still considerable. In addition, the number of episodes is small, and it is estimated that it will be almost completed by the end of May or early June.

Although some special effects will be produced, the special effects these days are just that, and it doesn't take much time.

Therefore, Fanxing has already begun preparations for the release of "Journey to the West".

Qin Xingtai introduced it on purpose, but the price was slightly lower, with only a budget of 8 an episode. Cao Xuan planned to work on it, and no matter what, it would cost 10 an episode.

"Journey to the West" has only 25 episodes, with an investment of 500 million+, and sold to Qin Shengtai for 10 episodes, which can almost return half of the cost.

Cao Xuan has a good relationship with Beijing TV. He can also talk to Lu Sheng TV in his hometown. He also knows a few people in Modu TV. They are all well-capitalized TV stations. As long as he can sell one, this drama will not loss.

"Journey to the West" lacks publicity hotspots. Although Ren Quan, Hu Jing, and Juanzi are well-known, they have not yet reached the point where they have an absolute boost to the price.

So Cao Xuan never pointed out that "Journey to the West" can earn tens of millions in one go like "Youth Bao Qingtian".

His strategy is to sell as much as possible in the first round, create influence and make money back, and then make money on the second round of broadcasting rights and pre-roll ads.

If the operation is good, I dare not say too much, but 1500-2000 million can still be expected.

.........

And at this stage, Cao Xuan also started to switch scenes with "Swordsman", from Xinwu to Suzhou City to shoot new scenes.

The crew hadn't finished setting up the scene yet, so Cao Xuan took half a day off, so he simply took Zeng Li for a stroll around Suzhou City, experienced the garden culture, and even found a home to taste the Suzhou food.

Cao Xuan likes Sushi big meat thin noodles. The soup is thick and delicious, and the noodles are smooth, which suits his taste very much. Zeng Li likes crab roe buns more. She likes seafood such as shrimp and crab.

Before returning to the set, Cao Xuan specially packed some pastries, intending to distribute them to a few acquaintances.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the hotel, he saw Zhang with a big beard running over in a hurry, grabbed him and dragged him to a certain room.

"Where did you go, come with me."

"Why is this?"

Cao Xuan was taken aback, his girlfriend was still watching, the influence was not good.

"What nonsense, Mr. Jin Yong has arrived and said he wants to see you."

"what?"

The news came too fast, Cao Xuan was a little confused, and asked Zeng Li to go back to his room to wait for him, and then followed Zhang Dazi to a conference room in the hotel.

Huang Jianzhong, Xu Qing, and Wei Zi have already arrived, and they are talking around a round old man with combed back hair and glasses.

Jin Yong, the master of martial arts novels that officially established the martial arts culture of the entire Chinese circle.

"Mr. Cha, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here, I just went out for a while."

"Do not worry about it."

Jin Yong was very kind. He looked Cao Xuan up and down, and said with a smile: "They showed me your photo before, and I thought you were pretty. Today, when I saw you in person, I found that you are even more beautiful than the photo."

"Then do you think my role as Linghu Chong is in line with your vision?"

"meets the."

Jin Yong nodded: "Linghu Chong must be handsome and chic, otherwise why Ren Yingying and Yilin fell in love with him as soon as they met."

"You're always right."

Cao Xuan was very happy to be recognized by the author of the original work, but he also knew that the old man's aesthetics did not represent everything.

Jin Yong has expressed his opinions on many Jin Yong actors, many of which violated public perception.

For example, Little Dragon Girl in "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Li Ruotong is recognized as the best. Of course, there are many supporters of Liu Tianxian, and fans of both sides have been torn apart for this role for many years.

But in Jin Yong's heart, he felt that Chen Yulian played the best role. She and Liu Tianwang's version of Yang Guo were "The Legend of Condor Heroes" that he personally admitted.

Known by the audience as the "Yang Guo" who came out of the book, Bai Gu with the pinnacle of beauty, Jin Yong felt that he should be ranked behind Liu Tianwang.

There is also Huang Rong, the role of Weng Meiling is recognized by the outside world as the best, and Jin Yong also thinks that she plays a good role, but after seeing the version of Zhou Gongzi, he immediately expressed his favorite version.

At that time, Haoxuan exploded, but Mr. Zhou's Huang Rong was ridiculed by the crowd. Many people said that Jin Yong was kidnapped by Zhang Jizhong.

But in fact, if Jin Yong didn't want to say it, Zhang Dazi couldn't force him, even if it was a scene, he wouldn't praise Zhou Gongzi so hard.

It can only show that the image of Huang Rong in his heart is indeed more biased towards Young Master Zhou.

Therefore, being recognized by Jin Yong does not mean that everything will be fine. The TV series is facing all audiences, and Jin Yong is only one of them.

How do you say that sentence, Jin Yong is a book writer, what kind of martial arts does he know...

Of course, Jin Yong also agrees with the public perception.

For example, Wei Xiaobao of Xingye, he commented "don't be second person to think", Liu Tianxian's Wang Yuyan, he commented, "If you didn't play Wang Yuyan, the audience would say that Jin Yong is talking nonsense. Such a beauty."

Then Jin Yong also hand-picked Liu Tianxian to play the role of Little Dragon Girl, which can be said to be very appreciated.

There is also Zhou Zhiruo played by Zhou Haimei, Jin Yong even wanted to change the ending so that Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo were together.

Later, the film crew of the 03 version of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" cast Gao Yuanyuan to play Zhou Zhiruo, because her eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Zhou Haimei, and the character's makeup also has certain references.

As well as Linghu Chong played by Cao Xuan, Jin Yong once said that he likes Li Lianjie the most. Cao Xuan pondered whether there is a chance to win this evaluation
In any case, Jin Yong is the original author after all, and his words are the most official evaluation, which not only has a great positive impact on the characters, but also helps the internal competition of the major versions.

Li Lianjie will not talk about it first, after all, it is a movie, and the degree of magic modification is serious.

In the TV drama version, Cao Xuan must be compared with the most classic Lu Songxian. With Jin Yong's approval, Cao Xuan's winning rate has increased by [-]%.

.........

Big Beard Zhang attaches great importance to Jin Yong's arrival. Needless to say, he also held a special seminar to ask Jin Yong to talk about his thoughts on creating "Swordsman".

But what's more embarrassing is that I don't know who bought it, and all the original works at the seminar are pirated copies.

Holding it in his hand, Jin Yong could tell something was wrong at a glance, and Zhang Dazi almost died on the spot.

In the end, it was Cao Xuan and Weizi who helped out. Cao Xuan had two sets of hardcover copies in hand, one for him and Zeng Li, and one for Weizi.

They asked people to bring these three sets of books, and withdrew the pirated editions, and finally got away with it.

Jin Yong also saw the role marks of Cao Xuan and Weizi from the three sets of books. Zeng Li actually marked them too, but there are too few scenes, and they are mainly written in the script.

After reading the marks of Cao Xuan and the others, Jin Yong was very relieved, and chatted with Cao Xuan and the others about the original work, and found that the two had studied their characters deeply.

Especially Cao Xuan, not only did his own research, but also had a lot of opinions from later generations, and various brain holes about the plot, which made Jin Yong stunned for a while.

After this seminar, Jin Yong was deeply impressed by Cao Xuan. He felt that Cao Xuan had read "Swordsman" thoroughly and was extremely imaginative.

Afterwards, Jin Yong also praised Cao Xuan to the reporters invited by Zhang Dazi, saying that he was looking forward to seeing him play Linghu Chong.

The reporter turned around and published it in the newspaper. Jin Yong + Cao Xuan brought another big wave of exposure to the crew of "Swordsman".

Jin Yong stayed in the crew for nearly a week. Zhang Dabeard took him to see several locations of the crew. Jin Yong was very satisfied with the magnificent and beautiful rivers and mountains.

When he sold the copyright to Zhang Jizhong at the price of one yuan, what he valued was the production level in mainland China.

Especially the location, the old man has seen enough of the wilderness and hills of Hong Kong and Taiwan. No matter how good the actors and the plot are, there is still a sense of pettiness, and many wonderful plots of the original work cannot be reflected.

In addition to the exposure, Jin Yong's trip also boosted the morale of the crew, especially Cao Xuan and Weizi, who were praised several times, and their roles became more and more enthusiastic.

The crew of "Swordsman" seemed to have been given a shot in the arm.

.........

While "Swordsman" was in full swing, the No. 11 Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan Province was also held on April 4.

Compared with last year's "Best Newcomer" nomination, Cao Xuan, who had fully opened up the Taiwanese market in October last year, won four nominations this year.

【Best Mandarin Male Singer】

【Best Pop Music Album】

【Best Composer】

【Best Album Producer】

And there is news from Warner that Cao Xuan has a chance to win an award this time, and has a chance to win two.

However, Cao Xuan didn't go to the awards ceremony. On the one hand, he was busy, and on the other hand, he was too sensitive, so Cao Xuan didn't want to go into the muddy water.

So Cao Xuan only recorded a VCR and sent it over. The content was probably to thank the organizing committee for its approval, and to make persistent efforts in the future to show his support.

On the day of the award ceremony, Cao Xuan couldn't receive the ratings signal, so he could only send text messages to Warner to get real-time information.

[Best Album Producer] lost to Tao Zhe, [Best Composer] lost to Chen Jiannian, and [Best Pop Music Album] was awarded to Fan Xiaoxuan.

After failing three consecutive awards, Cao Xuan thought he didn't go, so the organizing committee simply changed the result, but unexpectedly, the most influential "Best Mandarin Male Singer" was awarded to him at the end of the awards ceremony.

I became the king of golden songs?
Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately retracted the words that last year's Golden Melody Award was a fart. It was obviously the most prestigious award in the Chinese music scene.

The Top Ten Golden Songs of Hong Kong are the best in the world!
