Chapter 260 The First Charge to the Music World in 2002

At the end of December, Cao Xuan came to a big ship in Jinmen, and today he came to guest star in "Armor Warrior".

Backstage, Cao Xuan saw the physical armor of the Emperor's Armor for the first time.

The whole body is made of gold and silver, which are the most representative of metallic luster, which contains both dignity and mystery. The eye sockets and shoulder blades on the head are made of red, which is a bit murderous and cold.

At the same time, this set of imperial armor also continued the characteristics of the five-element armor, dragon head, mastiff back, eagle wings, rhinoceros legs, and tiger paws.

The design uses a combination of multiple superimposition and shrinkage, which can be retracted freely and integrated into one.

One word, domineering!
Two words, handsome!
This set of armor was tailor-made for Cao Xuan. With the help of the staff, Cao Xuan put it on and moved around a bit. It fits very well.

The armor of "Armor Warrior" is made of leather, plastic and some metal materials, and the weight is not light.

After Cao Xuan asked, he found out that there is more than one set of armor, and the material is also different. The armor shot by the front camera will be heavier, and there are many metal materials on it, which gives a sense of strength.

But when actors are filming, such armor is inconvenient, and the cost of damage is also high, so there are cheaper and lighter multi-plastic leather cases.

But even so, this kind of light armor weighs more than ten kilograms at least, and some armors are even heavier.

In the show "Armor Warrior", most of the actors are newcomers, the salary is limited, and the scenes are all urban scenes. You can shoot anywhere you want, and the main cost is on leather cases and special effects.

Especially the leather case, in order to achieve better results, I found a special designer to design, and many materials and craftsmanship do not have this foundation in China, so I have to order it abroad.

Coupled with excellent production and wear and tear, the cost of the crew on this approached one-third of the total cost.

For example, Cao Xuan's set of imperial armor, because it was specially made by the boss, all used high-quality materials, and without considering the design cost, the cost exceeded six figures.

Cao Xuan gestured a few times, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Although he was a little secondary, how could a man resist the charm of this handsome mechanical armor.

"This set of armor is not bad. Is it okay for me to take it away after the filming later?"

"no problem."

The director Chen Hanzhu next to him nodded. It was agreed before that if Cao Xuan came to play a guest role, he would collect a set of armor, so he had this special imperial armor.

Even the money for this set of armor was contributed by Cao Xuan himself, and it did not occupy the production cost of the crew.

Cao Xuan came to the filming set wearing armor and holding his Emperor Sword.

According to Chen Hanzhu's command, he cooperated with a few leather monsters, posed a few poses, yelled a few pretentious slogans, and then went to the green screen to record a few scenes with Yan Kuan. It took most of the morning to complete the film successfully. .

There are not many scenes of Emperor Xia. In the original version of "Armor Warrior", a child was directly summoned and played a few times. Fanxing's script was changed, and this plot was directly erased.

In the setting, the Emperor's Armor is not an independent armor, but a five-element armor combined form, or the Emperor's armor is decomposed into five-element armor.

If the five-element armor wants to fit together, it must be under certain circumstances, and then the five people have the same mind to successfully fit together, Balabala.

Anyway, it is the imperial armor style, which is much improved compared to the original version.

Just kidding, the boss made a guest appearance in person. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Cao Daguan if the armor is not high-quality.

In addition, such a design is doomed that Emperor Xia will not appear too much, mainly Cao Xuan has no time.

Therefore, in the play, Emperor Xia only appeared in the dream of the male protagonist at the beginning, as an extension, and flashed back in the middle to pave the way for the fusion.

Cao Xuan shot almost all the frontal shots and dialogues of Emperor Xia this time, as well as some martial arts scenes. Cao Xuan really didn't have time, so the actors in leather suits played the roles.

During the filming of Cao Xuan, the crew specially arranged for photographers to shoot sideshows, which will be placed at the end of the film as easter eggs.

In addition, Cao Xuan himself also showed his head and was interviewed by the media in armor.

How should I put it, the cameo appearance of Emperor Xia is just incidental, and Cao Xuan's main purpose is to promote "Armor Warrior" and use his fame to add explosive points to the crew.

Calling all the actors who were on the scene, Cao Xuan led them to answer the questions raised by the reporters.

"Our drama should be the first special drama in China, and it is also a new attempt of the company."

"The Chinese version of "Kamen Rider"? We do not deny that the overall framework is similar to "Kamen Rider". We have also communicated with related companies in Japan about this point. It can be said that copyright is no problem.

However, in this "Armor Warrior", we contain a large number of Chinese local elements, which is fundamentally different from "Kamen Rider". "

"For groups, I hope that it will be suitable for all ages (laughs), but the current trend should be mainly for young people."

"A sequel? It depends on the feedback of "Armor Warrior". We are negotiating with some TV stations."

"I feel very happy to be a guest star. I like this set of armor very much. I plan to wear it back and collect it. You like it too? I have a good eye. I remember that the crew seems to have a small model, and I will give you one later."

"..."

Cao Xuan deservedly was the main output point of the reporters. For the sake of publicity, Cao Xuan was rarely seen.

Of course, several other actors present were also interviewed, mainly the five male protagonists, among which Zhang Zijian was the most popular.

A few days ago, after the trial broadcast of "Swallow Shuangying" on the Qilu Channel in Shandong Province, it was successfully broadcast on Xinglu Satellite TV.

The ratings are quite impressive. It ranks among the top three TV dramas in Lu Province this year. It may not be a hit, but it can still be called a hot drama.

"I bet you don't have bullets in your gun."

"Believe it or not, in the next second, I'll let you see your own brain."

"Half-human, half-ghost, the sharpshooter is number one!"

"Ah, it's Yan Shuangying!"

"..."

The very distinctive and magical lines are impressive, and the lively rhythm, refreshing plot, and hot gun battles and fights also make the audience who have not experienced a lot of drama influence hooked.

But there are also many criticisms. Many people think that Yan Shuangying's combat power is too exaggerated and has a bad influence. Some even proposed to block the show.

However, Cao Xuan had been prepared for a long time and presented many deeds of the king of soldiers in the history of our army.

Yan Shuangying's performance can't be said to be inferior in it, it can only be regarded as average.

That group of fighting heroes, all of them ran to the King of Hell to give a few big blows, and then swaggered back. Yan Shuangying's record is at best called awesome, and their deeds can be doubted Life.

Another very important point is that although Yan Shuangying is powerful, the enemy is very cunning and cruel.

Therefore, although "Yan Shuangying" is a bit of a magical drama, it does not insult people's IQ. Yan Shuangying's strength is not as exaggerated as the original version, and it remains at the top level of human beings, and it is only a personal exception. Most of the plots are relatively realistic. .

Banning would not be enough, but Cao Xuan also received the wind, and the second part of "Swallows and Eagles" will be slowed down, and we will wait until the momentum of the first part passes.

Cao Xuan strongly suspected that Fanxing's several dramas became popular this year, which aroused the jealousy of outsiders and got tricked.

In fact, at the stage of realization, there are already some TV dramas that have signs of magical dramas, and even more than "Swallow Shuangying" can be found everywhere. However, "Swallow Shuangying" has become popular, so it has been set as a model.

Therefore, the filming of "Swallow Shuangying 2", which was intended to continue in the first half of next year, was suspended, and we will see the direction of the wind in the second half of the year.

Qian Yanqiu, the director and screenwriter of "Swallow Shuangying", was extremely depressed when his career started to improve, but was abruptly interrupted.

As if the words were written, I excitedly went to see the double red meeting, and then watched the team I supported being poured 5 goals by the enemy at home, how sour...

However, this stop also gave Lao Qian the idea of ​​starting other series. Under the guidance of Cao Xuan, this guy is currently making up for the history of the Wutang period.

Although the drama "Swallow Shuangying" has a little controversy, but Zhang Zijian himself became famous because of this role, and became the C position of "Armor Warrior".

In addition, he was the oldest, and soon became the big brother of the five-person group.

Zhang Jin is the second brother, not only because of his age, but mainly because he can play.

Although it is set in the play that Dihuxia is the least existential and weakest one, but in reality, out of the five actors, Zhang Jin is the one who fights the best.

It's hard to say one against four, but if two and two fight together, they will only be tortured by Zhang Jin...

After accepting the interview, Cao Xuan also specially invited several leading actors and some of the crew's main creators to dinner, which can be regarded as the producer's condolences.

Yan Kuan and Zhang Zijian are artistes of the company. Although they don't have much contact with the boss, they are also familiar with each other. Zhang Jin met in "Wulin Outer History" before.

But Deng Chao and Qiao Zhenyu saw Cao Xuan for the first time, and they were a little nervous.

Not to mention the popular king, the main reason is Cao Xuan's status as a film and television boss, which is a rare thigh for young artists like them.

During the meal, the two of them wanted to show off in front of Cao Xuan, but they were also afraid that their impression would be spoiled if they didn't handle it well, so their faces were full of conflicts.

Cao Xuan, on the other hand, watched the two silently with great interest. Qiao Zhenyu was not familiar with him. He only knew that he was a beautiful woman from the end of the world, and he had played many classic roles in ancient costumes.

But Deng Chao is very familiar, We are tired of logging, and the variety show movie business is thriving. The couple are both in the front line. There are constant turmoil, but they have never failed. Compared with other celebrity couples, we can see their skills.

But at this stage, Brother Chao is still very young. He came to toast Cao Xuan. Although he spoke fluently, he couldn't hide his nervousness.

It made Cao Xuan feel a little bit of the feeling he had when he first met Xiao Zhou two years ago.

Thinking of this Zhang Wuji who seems to be Zhang Jizhong's version of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", Cao Xuan's bad taste burst out.

"Do you know "Eternal Sword and Dragon Slayer", we have a story about a Mongolian prince, that is Zhao Min's brother, there are not many scenes, there are only a few scenes in total, are you interested in making a guest appearance?"

"no problem."

Deng Chao agreed very happily, he is not considered a newcomer anymore, it doesn't matter what role he plays as a cameo, the most important thing is being able to build a relationship with Cao Xuan, the boss of the film and television company.

After the guest appearance in "Armor Warrior", Cao Xuan also started to go to home and abroad to start publicity.

At the same time, Cao Xuan's second album "Si" is also officially released this year.

The reason for choosing this album name is that on the one hand, this is Cao Xuan’s fourth popular album after Fanxing Trilogy, and at the same time, it is also because all 10 songs in this album have four-letter titles.

For this reason, Cao Xuan, who is obsessive-compulsive, postponed "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" that was originally planned to be added, and made up the elements of "Four".

It's a pity that Arsenal didn't win the championship this year, otherwise it would be more in line with...

《肆》于2001年12月31日发售，给2001年的歌坛画上了句号，也随即向2002年发出了冲锋的号角………
