Chapter 202 The "Golden Fen Family" with beautiful women and handsome men

The recording of the two programs of CCTV is over, but the promotion work of "Swordsman" is actually more than half completed.

How should I put it, with the size of CCTV's set here, even if it doesn't promote it, it will still kill other TV series in seconds.

Unlike other satellite TVs, which do not have many regular audiences, they can only use various methods to attract people if they want to increase the ratings of new dramas. Linking their variety shows with new dramas is the most cost-effective way.

Not only has the new drama been promoted, but there is no need to worry about the material for the variety show. A few guests will go up and chat about anecdotes about the crew. This episode of the show is enough.

"Swordsman" is confirmed to premiere on March 3. Before that, apart from a few media interviews, Cao Xuan only needs to stand on stage at the premiere press conference.

Cao Xuan, who temporarily left the publicity work, began to work on "The Family of Gold Fans".

At the beginning of March, the script of "The Family of Gold Fans" was officially completed, which also means that the crew has entered the countdown to start.

Director Liu Guoquan and producer Ding Ying have already begun preparations for the set, costumes, casting and other preparatory work. Cao Xuan, who is the producer and starring role, will inevitably participate in it.

In other aspects, Cao Xuan is an outsider and doesn't intervene much, but he still has a certain say in casting.

The male protagonist, Jin Yanxi, Jin Qiye, is Cao Xuan's own, and no one can take it away. The second female, Bai Xiuzhu, has fixed Hu Jing, and Bai Xiuzhu's best friend, Jin Meili, the eighth lady of the Jin family, has fixed Li Qian.

In the beginning, Father Jin, Cao Xuan aimed at Chen Daoming, and invited him through Wang Jinghua.

In the end, someone was invited, but Lao Chen didn't have such a schedule, so he had to change his role to play Leng Qingqiu's uncle Song Shiqing, while Jin's father invited the original version of Kou Zhenhai.

In his early years, he had acted as the prodigal son of Zhang, and he had the temperament of a high-ranking elite.

Later, Lu Zhenhua, the black leopard who played in "Deep Love in the Rain" and the golden father in "A Family of Gold Fans", immediately became "the first master of the Republic of China".

Later, he acted in many Republic of China dramas, all of whom were landlords at the end of the day, and at the last time, he was also a professor from a poor family.

As for costume dramas, they are basically martial arts leaders, heroes of the rivers and lakes, court officials, princes, and emperors. The emperor also played a lot.

The character setting type, the play path may be relatively narrow, but there is no shortage of roles, and it is even more comfortable than most powerful actors.

Jin's mother and Leng Qingqiu's mother, Cao Xuan, didn't change at all. They are both capable actors, and they don't have many roles.

On the contrary, it was the children of the Jin family and the young grandmother. Cao Xuan put in a lot of effort, and the actors in the original version were not well-known, and some of them hadn't made their debut yet, so they could only make up their own.

Three young wives plus Miss Four, Miss Fifth, and Miss Six, that is, three young wives + three girls.

In fact, it is not a difficult task. There are not many entertainment circles, but there are many actresses.

The young mistress has a little more roles and needs acting skills. Cao Xuan plans to find Zhu Yuanyuan, who has just won the Golden Eagle TV show. She has no acting skills and looks good when she was young.

By the way, she even packed her boyfriend Xin Baiqing to play the young master of the Jin family.

Both of these couples speak Mandarin, and Cao Xuan invited them easily through his master Li Xuejian.

To be honest, although Zhu Yuanyuan is already the queen of Golden Eagle TV, she is not hyped, and she doesn't take many plays, so she is not very famous.

Although the young mistress is a supporting role, she is Cao Xuan's crew after all, and there are stars such as Chen Daoming and Hu Jing. They can be regarded as a serious crew, so it's not like they treat her badly.

Not to mention that Cao Xuan invited Xin Baiqing. Compared with Zhu Yuanyuan who had already won the Golden Eagle Award, Xin Baiqing's career development was not smooth.

The drama is okay here, and there is almost no reputation in film and television.

From her point of view, people invite Xin to see her face and make a husband and wife team. Based on this, Zhu Yuanyuan is willing to make this movie.

Cao Xuan was also happy that they misunderstood. To be honest, Xin Baiqing was not well-known, but in terms of acting skills, he was definitely one of the leading actors of the Mesozoic generation in later generations, an absolute late bloomer.

The couple live well and cheaply, and there is a tacit understanding between them. The more Cao Xuan thinks about it, the more he feels it is worth it.

The second young mistress and the third young mistress of the Jinfen family, one is gentle on the outside, but good at calculating on the inside, and the other is fierce and tough, and the enemy of the heroine Leng Qingqiu.

The second young lady Cao Xuan found Yang Tongshu, whose representative work is Xu Yingying in "Supreme Beauty", and Jiang Yuyan and Yang Xue are known as the ceiling of female villains in domestic dramas.

Yang Tongshu is doing pretty well now, and it's not easy for her to play a supporting role.

So the crew first coaxed people over by auditioning for a heroine. The audition was definitely not suitable, and then brought over the second grandma's script.

The third young mistress is relatively simple, Kongzheng Yanni is playing tricks, so she can use it when she is pulled over.

Although Shopkeeper Tong's later generations have a familiar and sexy style, but at this stage he is still quite tender and well-behaved. It's not a big problem to play a charming and pungent young woman.

The three young women are difficult to deal with, and the girls are easy to find, just cast the net directly at the colleges and universities.

First of all, it is fate to bring Dameiyuan to play the role of the fourth lady, and the five fairies in "Seven Joyful Fairies" to play the fifth lady.

Miss Six with the most roles was given to Jiang Yuyan and Yang Xue.

In fact, according to the relative distance, Gao Yuanyuan should be allowed to play the supporting role of Miss Six, but Cao Xuan felt that her acting skills were too good, so she directly asked her to play a guest role, and then waited for the heroine of "Armor Warrior".

Lord Tang... Director Tang helped her with the bowl and used to her, but Cao Xuan didn't support her, and his professional ability was not strong, so he just acted as a vase honestly...

In addition to these six people, there is another important supporting role, that is the maid Xiao Lian, who plays a big role. Cao Xuan found Xu Lu, who is also the original Xiao Lian.

She played Ke Yun in "Deep Love in the Rain", that is the famous "Who will save me" emoticon package.

The reason why she was cast was Cao Xuan's own selfishness.

Cao Xuan watched the original version of "The Family of Gold Fans", and to be honest, he didn't have any feelings for the two heroines, Dong Jie and Liu Tianxian, but he especially liked the maid Xiao Lian.

Coquettish and lovely, gentle and pure, with a kind of beauty that is not willing to destroy.

In the later stage of the plot, people watching the love triangle of "The Family of Gold Fans" are scratching their heads, all thanks to Xiao Lian and Liu Chunjiang's sugar.

But in the end, the two still abused each other. Xiao Lian was ordained as a monk, and Liu Chunjiang vomited blood and died.

This is an adaptation of the TV series itself. In the original version, the two eloped. It is also a rare couple with a happy ending in "A Family of Gold Fans".

However, the adaptation of the TV series also has its own ideas. The tragic ending is more shocking, and it can also reflect the devastation of the concept of feudal family status.

To a certain extent, it was also to whitewash the male and female protagonists. Yuan Shikong even made news that Zhang Henshui's descendants were dissatisfied.

It is because compared with the original work, the hero and heroine of "The Family of Gold Fans" have made certain beautifications.

The Leng Qingqiu in the original book is actually somewhat vain, and the TV series changed it to White Lotus.

In the original book, Bai Xiuzhu was a serious couple with Jin Yanxi at the beginning, and they were short of a marriage contract. As a result, Jin Yanxi cheated, and the TV series was changed to Bai Xiuzhu and kept posting.

Jin Yanxi in the original book is very scumbag, and she didn't have such a fanatical pursuit of Leng Qingqiu. A lot of foreshadowing.

Cao Xuan actually didn't care about playing a scumbag, or that sentence, he played Ximen Qing who killed his husband and took his wife, and he still cared about the little Jin Yanxi.

But having said that, you have to consider the audience of TV dramas.

Especially at this stage, many people have not been beaten by social reality, and the public still has a certain fantasy about love.

You wrote the hero and heroine so badly, the plot is real and cruel, the audience can't get into it, and the ratings can't crash.

Therefore, the hero and heroine have to be portrayed relatively beautifully, but have shortcomings, so that there are various collisions, conflicts and conflicts in the plot, and the audience is uneasy watching, but they can't help but follow the drama, so the ratings will go up. up.

Cao Xuan is a businessman, not a writer.

He will take into account the depth of the work, but more to take into account the commercial aspects.

With an investment of several million plus his personal appearance and the input from all parties, "The Family of Gold Fans" is Fanxing's most important project this year, and it is also a decisive film and television project.

Whether Fan Xing will go to a higher level next year, stay where he is, or even return to his original form, is largely due to the results of watching this drama.

Strictly follow the original filming, the fans of the original book are happy, the TV series will pay him who to look for.

Cao Xuan has always held the attitude of "trying to follow the original work for film and television adaptation", but the premise is that the original work is fine and suitable for film and television adaptation.

Like Jin Yong's dramas, there is almost no need to change the plot, and it is very good to shoot directly, but Gu Long's martial arts novels cannot be filmed without changes.

Regardless of whether he is an actor or an investor, Cao Xuan tends to make a lot of adaptations of "The Family of Gold Fans". Regarding this point, he also explained it to Zhang Henshui's descendants, hoping they can understand.

In fact, for most of the original authors, as long as you make changes with reasonable grounds and explain in advance, they will generally be reasonable.

I am afraid that I will not say a word, and then change it blindly.

As soon as the TV series aired, the author of the original work saw that his hard work was ruined like this, and no one would be annoyed if he let it go.

After Xiao Lian's role was decided for Xu Lu, Liu Chunjiang's role was also decided.

Chi Shuai in the original version actually did a good job. Cao Xuan wanted to cast him at first, but he didn't expect that he had already accepted the role, and the schedule couldn't be met.

Therefore, Cao Xuan sent Liu Chunjiang's film appointment to Chen Kun full of vicious humor.

Chen Kun happened to have no drama at hand at this time. He took over the script and read it. He felt that the role of the infatuated and gentle son was very good, and the role of the role was also suitable. Leaving aside the golden father, he could be regarded as the second male lead.

With his current fame, being Cao Xuan's second male is not considered a loss of status. Coupled with the strong recommendation of his good friend Mr. Zhou, Chen Kun happily accepted the trick.

Cao Xuan was always having a bad taste, but he didn't expect Chen Kun to agree. His real goal is Ren Quan.

Now Ren Quan still has to shoot "Youth Bao Qingtian 2", Chen Kun's conditions are suitable in all aspects, Cao Xuan has no reason to reject him.

As for whether acting in front of other people's original male lead would make him feel uncomfortable, this underestimated Cao Daguan's psychological quality too much.

He gave Xiao Zhou's song to Xiao Zhou himself, and asked the other party to thank him for his "scrubs in the world", how could he care about such a small scene...
