China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 210 The Rise of "Martial Arts Fever"
In fact, the first ten episodes of "Swordsman" are mainly foreshadowing. Linghu Chong has a lot of roles, but he is not outstanding until he gets Dugu Nine Swords from Feng Qingyang.

Then came the climax.

First, Tian Boguang was defeated in a battle, and then in the Yaowang Temple, in a fierce battle on a rainy night, one person used the Dugu Nine Swords to overthrow all masters, showing off the audience.

Immediately after the split between the master and the apprentice, the five tyrants gathered for righteousness, and there was a battle in Green Bamboo Lane. West Lake rescued Ren Woxing and led the crowd to Shaolin.

The famous scenes of "Swordsman" followed one after another, and Linghu Chong also shined in the drama, becoming the real C of the show.

The ratings of the TV series also rose steadily, and after about 30 episodes, Linghu Chong became the head of Hengshan.

The average audience rating of the whole drama has reached 14.1, and the market share has swept all TV stations in the same period, becoming the first phenomenal TV series in 2001.

Xiangjiang, Taiwan Province, and Singapore have successively contacted CCTV, planning to introduce "Swordsman", and Cao Xuan may have to promote his resignation at that time.

And other countries are also ready to move. The influence of Jin Yong and martial arts culture can be said to be very popular in East Asia. Cao Xuan is also a well-known Asian king. The joint efforts of the two parties can still attract the attention of many overseas TV stations.

Even the Chinese TV station on the other side of the ocean intends to introduce and broadcast it.

Last year's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" laid a pretty good foundation for the prosperity of martial arts culture.

Especially at the No.70 three Academy Awards ceremony just held recently, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" received 10 nominations, and finally won 4 awards, including the "Best Foreign Language Film" which is quite valuable.

Li Ang is a god in China!
Although Ang Lee later won two Oscars for best director, many Chinese people still have the impression of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Lust, Caution".

Needless to say the latter, the international soup has become famous.

The former is because this is a rare work that brings Chinese chivalrous culture into the world. In a sense, it is a model of cultural export.

Ang Lee's fame at the Oscars also drove a group of domestic directors to become excited.

To be honest, many people have been to the three European awards, but what they really want to win now is the Oscars.

Lao Mouzi, who has been plagued by modeling scandals, and New Screen officially announced the launch of a new movie "Hero".

The movie is expected to start in August and September. It is known as a new martial arts blockbuster. It plans to invite Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei, Maggie Cheung and many other big names to join.

According to insiders, Cao Xuan was also invited to the film, but Cao Xuan declined because of his schedule.

The fact is that the role is too small, not at all what Cao Xuan expected, even if "Hero" took a fancy to him, it only gave him a role in the sky.

This role is a great temptation for Zhen Zi, who has not yet reached the top position, but for Cao Xuan, it is a bit like a tasteless taste and a pity to discard.

There are benefits to acting, but the benefits are not particularly great. Instead of playing this supporting role, it is better to release an album, or participate in a movie that is not close to the box office but can play the male lead.

If Fanxing could participate in "Heroes", Cao Xuan would of course be willing to act, but boss Zhang did not lack investment in the new screen, so Cao Xuan declined with excuses.

I heard that Boss Zhang was still a little unhappy, and felt that Cao Xuan didn't know how to flatter him.

Cao Xuan was very speechless, except for an old schemer in his hands, his real net worth might not necessarily be more than his own, so why pretend to be a wolf with a big tail.

Lao Mouzi is gearing up, and the popularity of "Swordsman" has once again fueled the "martial arts craze".

For a while, it seemed that martial arts crews were setting up projects everywhere in the film and television industry.

Zhang Jizhong didn't even prepare the script for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so he was already screaming and filming.

Different from "Swordsman" in the original time and space, which had a bad reputation and anticlimactic ratings, now "Swordsman" is definitely not a classic, but it is definitely a boutique level, and its ratings are expected to hit the annual champion.

Zhang Dabeard is in high spirits and plans to create a Jin Yong martial arts series to make him a lot of money.

However, Cao Xuan heard the gossip that the bearded man seemed to be having a bad time with CCTV because he was leaving.

In fact, the two parties in the original time and space had a bad quarrel, but there was still a sense of face. The poor ratings of "Swordsman" made CCTV no longer optimistic about martial arts drama projects, and rarely cast or bought dramas.

This time "Swordsman" is a big hit, and CCTV will not turn a blind eye.

The bearded man took Jin Yong's copyright and took the team out to do it alone. To some extent, it was a kind of poaching, and it is estimated that the two sides still had a fight.

However, Cao Xuan didn't bother to care about their quarrel. "Legend of the Condor Heroes" would be the best if Fanxing participated in the vote, and it didn't matter if he couldn't.

Of course, if the bearded man is willing to change Li Yapeng, there is still talk about this project.

However, Cao Xuan thinks that the possibility is unlikely. Beard and Li Yapeng have a good relationship, and Li's popularity and charisma are also good at this stage. It is not so easy to change people.

Regardless of the beard, "Swordsman" has greatly helped Cao Xuan and Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's cry, coupled with Ren Yingying's character popularity bonus, it is no exaggeration to say that she directly entered the front line in one go.

However, these sisters are also self-willed. Faced with the tide of fame, they went directly to Singapore for vacation.

Of course, there are also those who say that she is avoiding disaster. Her rumored boyfriend seems to be dying soon...

Xu Qing went overseas, but the domestic publicity was only played by Cao Xuan, the male protagonist. The popularity of "Swordsman" further confirmed Cao Xuan's status in the film and television industry, and it gave a wave of popularity.

"Young Bao Qingtian" and "Swordsman" have been popular for two consecutive years. The male lead of the works, the current TV series can be compared with Cao Xuan,

There are only a few people such as Little Swallow, Mr. Zhou, Lu Yi, Zhang Weijian, etc., all of whom are leading figures in the TV drama industry in the past two years.

Ximen Qing, Luo Yang, Bao Zheng, Linghu Chong, a series of roles also allowed Cao Xuan to be positioned in the eyes of the public, and gradually no longer limited to the attribute of "singer".

Many professional film critics and senior actors also gave good comments——

Cao Xuan's career as an actor is not as amazing and legendary as the music world, but it is steady enough, and he honed his acting skills step by step to present his works.

The media also felt that Cao Xuan was so radiant that many people ignored that he was still an excellent actor.

The entire showbiz may not be ranked for the time being, but among the younger generation, it is already relatively top-notch.

As for Cao Xuan's fans, after the accumulation of two hit works, they finally produced a certain scale of [fans].

Although there is a huge difference in the number of movie fans compared to music fans, and many of them are pure beauty fans, Cao Xuan also cherishes and cares for her very much.

No way, it's rare.

Cao Xuan is already a little boring and tired of listening to rainbow farts from fans, but now he likes to watch others praise him for his good performance, and he feels a sense of accomplishment.

.........

On April 4th, "The Family of Gold Fans" officially launched.

"Swordsman" was broadcast in full swing, and Cao Xuan's popularity was booming. This time it was launched, it immediately attracted countless reporters to watch.

As expected, Cao Xuan became the focus again. Dozens of microphones stretched out, almost burying Cao Xuan.

Facing the "siege" of reporters, Cao Xuan is also used to it, and he cooperates very much. He talks eloquently in front of the camera.

"Our play tells about the period of the Republic of China, about young men and women, about love and freedom, Barabara... This play is not completely consistent with the original work. We have made some relevant revisions. Director Liu Guoquan and our starry professional screenwriting team are in charge. Everyone You can look forward to it."

"The choice of Dong Xuan was a unanimous decision between me, Director Liu and the screenwriting team. She meets our needs for Leng Qingqiu. The little girl works hard. I believe she can perform well."

"Of course you call me the boss in private. What do you think it's called (laughs). In fact, we haven't communicated much. I hope you can cultivate some tacit understanding in this filming."

"Hu Jing hasn't joined the group yet. She is busy with "Love Through Time and Space" and should join the group in May."

"Ratings? The higher the better, we haven't confirmed which TV station will broadcast it yet, but someone has already contacted us."

"The theme song is "Dark Fragrance". In fact, when I first wrote that song, I was inspired by watching "The Family of Gold Fans". It can be understood that songs and dramas come together."

"I don't have any conflicts with Director Zhang. Not acting in "Hero" is a plan for the second half of the year, and the schedule cannot be moved."

"Don't just ask me, there are all excellent actors from our "Golden Fan Family" crew next to me, and you also interviewed them."

"..."

Cao Xuan talked until his throat was about to smoke, so he sent those reporters to interview other people.

Most of these actors are newcomers, and they are still a little unnatural when facing interviews. Fortunately, there are also some old actors and agents to help them, and nothing went wrong after all.

At noon, as usual, a dinner was arranged for the reporter, and red envelopes were stuffed. The producer Ding Ying came out, Cao Xuan didn't go, and watched the actors filming on the spot.

The first scene of the film crew is the big gathering of the Jin family. Cao Xuan will not be on stage for the time being, and the other Jin family members are basically there.

Master Kou Zhenhai is solemn and imposing. In the play, he is the prime minister. He is under one person, above hundreds of millions, and even directly regarded as the head of state.

It's just that the performance in the play is not very good, it is slightly weakened, emphasizing the majesty of the hero, and how to mention the prime minister's identity.

The wife of the Jin family, Wu Jing, is shrewd and powerful, loves her son very much, and has the demeanor of a hostess.

The Eldest Young Master/Eldest Young Mistress Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan, Second Young Master/Second Young Mistress Wang Tao/Yang Tongshu, Third Young Master/Third Young Mistress Sha Yi and Yan Ni.

Xin and Zhu said before that there was a husband and wife team, and the second young master Wang Tao was not well-known, but he was a talented actor.

Li Dan, who had acted in "Daming Palace Ci" before, is more famous in later generations as Ke Wuye in "The First Floor of the World", playing a dilapidated Eight Banners playboy to the fullest.

Needless to say, the third young master, Sha Yi, had just joined the air administration, and the casting director went to the air administration to find Yan Ni, and he immediately took a fancy to him.

This one is not easy to invite. After filming "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair", he has become somewhat famous. Shang Jing is thinking about asking him to film "Urban Men and Women".

However, "The Family of Gold Fans" is a TV series starring Cao Xuan, and it is considered a big drama in the industry.

Although it is a supporting role, it is more attractive than a sitcom. After thinking about it for a while, Sha Yi packed his bags and reported to the crew with Yan Ni.

When Cao Xuan looked at his "third brother and third sister-in-law", he always felt a little jumpy.

I'm afraid that one of the two of them will give himself a sunflower acupuncture treatment, and the other will say Qin Sheng's words.

The three couples and the four young ladies, Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Rui, Yang Xue, and Li Qian, are not to mention handsome and beautiful, but each has its own characteristics.

In addition, Cao Xuan, Dong Xuan, Hu Jing, Chen Kun, and Xu Lu, just showing off their faces is enough to attract countless fans to lick the screen in front of the TV.
