China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 229 "Deer Head and Mouse Eyes" Yan Yikuan, "Ordinary" Cao Tianwang
In late July, the crew of "Swallows and Eagles" wrapped up.

Accompanied by Zhang Zijian, Qian Yanqiu and several senior executives of the company, Cao Xuan watched the pre-cut samples.

It is probably because Yan Shuangying had an accident in the play for some reason, which led to amnesia. She was a down-to-earth farmer and was about to marry a wife, but was bullied by the bandits. She recovered her memory during the beating and started killing.

To put it bluntly, plug-in renewal fee!

This kind of plot is almost considered a "poisonous point" in later generations, but now, the amnesia meme is relatively new.

It's a bit of a desire to promote before suppressing. The more bullied the awesome protagonist is, the greater the excitement of Kai Wushuang in the end.

Even if Cao Xuan and others haven't watched the previous plot of the show, watching the bandits hoist up the amnesiac Yan Shuangying and smash it down, the bandit leader is about to rob his wife, and Yan Shuangying recovers his memory and carries out counter-killing. Can feel a hearty feeling.

Especially Yan Shuangying looked at the bandit boss coldly and warned coolly.

"I hate when people hold a gun to my head."

"Believe it or not, I'll show you your own brains."

"There are eleven people in this room, I will kill nine, and then I will kill you two."

"..."

Cao Xuan almost slapped his thigh, the taste is so right!
It is worth mentioning that "Swallow Shuangying" retains the "pretentious taste" of the original version, and the fighting and gunfight scenes have also been upgraded accordingly.

Lao Qian's script is top-notch, at least at the peak of his creation at this stage, but the director's literary play can only be said to be okay, a large number of long lines and dialogues, and the scheduling is relatively simple, which is actually not very friendly to some audiences.

The deviation in martial arts is basically Yan Shuangying chugs, soldiers are vulnerable, and bosses and bosses are killed randomly.

The key is that the fight scenes are too long. Many fight scenes last more than ten minutes, which is a headache to watch. Even action movies are not played like this. They are usually 5 to 10 minutes long, and some other scenes are mixed in during the period.

Later, after Lao Qian's style matured, although the play was very long, he also arranged some other events to disperse and edit, which was not so boring.

However, a large number of martial arts is still a relatively criticized slot in the original Yan Shuangying series.

The main reason is that the length of the chapters is random, sometimes dozens of people kill as soon as they say it, machine guns burst into a large area, and sometimes Yan Shuangying and seven or eight thugs fight back and forth.

Some plots have different situations, but because the details are not done well, and the distinction between the small miscellaneous fish and the elite minions is not done well, I always feel that Yan Shuangying's combat effectiveness fluctuates.

Of course, some people are better and feel that they play very well, but in reality, they can only be regarded as qualified from the perspective of film and television viewing.

As for the literary and opera style, Cao Xuan can only mention some points, and there is no way to change it by force. This can be regarded as the characteristic of Lao Qian, but the martial arts and details can be enhanced with auxiliary personnel.

As I said before, Cao Xuan specially arranged an assistant director for Lao Qian to focus on the details and control Lao Qian's sloppy or indifferent problems.

In terms of acting, Cao Xuan specially hired an action guide from Xiangjiang through the relationship of Ba Ye.

This martial artist named Zhang Lei has a wealth of experience. He has worked with Yuan Jiaban, Cheng Chengjiaban, Du Qifeng, Chen Musheng and other well-known action directors in Xiangjiang.

Proficient in modern action design, as well as ancient costume actions, as well as stunt racing, blasting and gun battles, all of which can be completed independently.

Zhang Lei was originally a number one figure in the Hong Kong martial arts circle, but later he offended a certain boss and was blocked by Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Cao Xuan inquired about it, and found that this person is indeed capable, and no one "warned" him anyway, so if he is not sure about the right, use him first.

Zhang Lei did not disappoint Cao Xuan's expectations, and he probably wanted to take advantage of the new boss.

Compared with the original version, the martial arts design of "Yan Shuangying" is definitely a higher level.

The fighting scenes are sharp and crisp, with a bit of punching to the flesh. The gun battle scenes are more logical, with fire suppression, sharp gun bursts, and even a wave of small tactics for the villains. Although it is very simple, it is not as ruthless as a nest. Brain out.

Cao Xuan felt that Zhang Lei's ability was worth giving him another chance. If the boss stretched out his hand to pester him, it wouldn't hurt his face, but it could help to block him a little.

The times have changed, and the set of the last century can't be played in the mainland entertainment circle...

.........

I watched this screening for more than two hours in total, and watched more than a dozen large and small fragments here and there.

Personally, Cao Xuan is quite satisfied. There must be some flaws, but there are no obvious mistakes or omissions. It is the standard "cool movie" in his impression.

"Mr. Du, what does the publisher say?"

Cao Xuan looked at Du Shuo, the newly promoted vice president in charge of distribution and advertising. He was a thin man with a hooked nose and a very energetic temperament.

"We contacted several TV stations, and most of the feedback was not very positive. It seems that Lu Provincial TV is more interesting. I just want to take some time to go to Quancheng with a sample to find Director Wang of Lu TV."

"With the old money, they dealt with each other last time in "Journey to the West", and they also gave Director Wang a reassurance. One director and one screenwriter."

"understood."

After getting through the first wave of starting a business, Cao Xuan does not need to personally monitor many related businesses, just follow the progress and make some decisions.

The film "Yan Shuangying" is not popular enough, there are not many stars to help out, and the advertisements are not very easy to sell.

Cao Xuan didn't really expect this drama to make a lot of money in one go, the key is to gain fame, and then raise the price to sell the dramas later in the series, this is the big profit of this series.

Of course, whether or not to shoot the second part depends on the feedback of the first part. If it doesn't become popular, it will die immediately.

Lao Qian, as the first person in charge of the "Swallow Shuangying" series, has to follow the post-production and TV distribution, but Zhang Zijian is idle.

Cao Xuan thought for a while, and began to fool Dafa: "Now the company has a drama, which can be regarded as the leading role. You are free, why not accept it. The salary is normal, and it will also help the follow-up popularity."

"What drama?"

Zhang Zijian is very interested. He has a good impression of the company now. He has a big family and a big business.

"Have you seen Spider-Man? The story of a domestic version of a superhero."

Cao Xuan drew a big cake, and even fudged and praised it, making Zhang Zijian confused and accepted the role of Feng Yingxia in "Armor Warrior".

It's not like Cao Xuan messed with him, after all, he acted in many scenes, which were even more outrageous than Feng Yingxia.

"Armor Warrior" can't find any faults except for the second point, and the crew of my own company is comfortable.

In addition to Zhang Zijian, the action director Zhang Lei was also thrown into the "Armor Warrior" crew by Cao Xuan. He happened to design more fighting scenes, and the shooting was more handsome and not as bulky as the original version.

Before Zhang Zijian confirmed to play Fengyingxia, Yan Kuan couldn't hold back the flicker and agreed to play Yanlongxia.

In fact, he agreed to star in Fanxing, and the bigger reason was that Fanxing wanted to sign him. He made eight plays in eight years, two of which had a generous contract for the male leads ("Armor Warrior" was not included).

This is the ultimate reason for Yan Kuan's "surrender". In fact, as a school girl in the theater and has already made his debut, Yan Kuan has been targeted by many companies.

There was even a rich woman who fell in love with him, offered a sky-high nine-figure price, and offered to take care of him.

I don't know if this is true or not, but Yan Kuan still knows his own value, and he has been waiting for the price, and even played some supporting roles for this, just waiting for a good contract.

Fanxing is currently the contract with the highest bid for him. Seeing that he will be graduating in a year, Yan Kuan doesn't want to give up the good opportunity. After thinking for a long time, he finally chooses to sign Fanxing.

As a result, Yan Yikuan, the head of the four beauties in the world, who was tied with the "plain and unremarkable" principal Gu, was acquired by Fan Xing.

In this regard, Cao Tianwang, who once considered himself "ordinary" in music talent and appearance in front of the media, expressed his satisfaction.

Good guy, handsome guy can make money.

No matter how good-looking Cao Daguan is, he can't exploit himself, so he has to find a substitute to squeeze it out.

Yan Kuan succumbed, and Deng Chao also agreed to play the role of Black Rhinoceros, but Fan Xing did not sign him. The other party had already reached an agreement with an agent, and the liquidated damages were not low. Cao Xuan had the final say, but still did not poach him.

The last Snow Mastiff, originally wanted to find Hu Ge, but when he was just admitted to the drama schedule, he had just started school when he turned on the phone, so he had to miss it regrettably.

But it doesn't matter, "Armor Warrior" doesn't have to be just one film. After the five elements are finished, there are also southeast, northwest, middle, four elephants, eight trigrams, seven stars and nine palaces, twelve zodiac signs, and 28 constellations...

Hu Ge was not found, the producer went around and found another Tianya Simei, Qiao Zhenyu.

This guy has a gloomy temperament, which is in line with the role setting of Snow Mastiff, but he is a little thin. The director told him to exercise during this time.

Yanlong Xia - Yan Kuan

Wind Eagle Man - Zhang Zijian
Black Rhinoceros - Deng Chao

Land Tiger Man - Zhang Jin

Snow Mastiff - Qiao Zhenyu
The heroine - Gao Yuanyuan
Second female - Yang Xue

Cao Xuan felt that those born in the 90s and 00s had to thank himself for growing up.

Give them a beauty feast when they were young, let them know what is handsome and what is beautiful, and make their childhood memories full of beauty and longing.

Even these actors will thank him one day in the future, and may become a "black history" that everyone ridicules, but in fact, they have also become childhood memories of countless people.

These are all feelings. In the future, a wave of memory killing and Ye Qinghui will be popular and popular.

Cao Xuan himself was moved by what he said, thinking about whether to make a cameo appearance as Emperor Xia, anyway, he didn't show his face, so it was just an easter egg, and he could get a handsome leather case for nothing.

After the role is determined, the crew is now in contact with the production of armor leather cases and monster leather cases.

The original copy from Japan was too serious, Cao Xuan was not afraid of a lawsuit, but felt that since he was a domestic hero and a local devil, it would be better to add more Chinese elements.

The materials are all ready-made, so go directly to "Shan Hai Jing" and various anecdotes, and then modify them.

This domestically produced Strange Magic Gaming, the next one will have an alien alien shape, and the next one will have a radiation mutation. Anyway, it is an overhead world, and it can be set casually.

In this drama, neither the police nor the government have a role, otherwise there will be monsters in the country, and there is no need for "Armor Warrior".

Uncles of the People's Liberation Army who refused to accept went directly to humane destruction, and those who surrendered were first arrested and tested for nucleic acid, and then complained about the conference, the united front, abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, and entering the glory...
