China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 321 Movies are blooming twice, the movie starring me in the second half of the year...

On May 2002, 5, Zhuozhou Film and Television Base
The opening ceremony of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" was held here. The male lead Cao Xuan, the producer Zhang Guoli, the female lead Jia Jingwen, Gao Yuanyuan and related actors were all present.

The red silk wooden case enshrines Guan Erye who strokes his beard with a knife, and offerings such as wine, meat, melon, fruit and snacks are placed on the wooden case.

Everyone gave way, Cao Xuan was in the middle, Zhang Guoli and Boss Wu were on the side, the three held incense and worshiped, and the others followed behind them.

This opening ceremony has emerged in the mainland film and television industry in the past two years, especially for crews from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Almost every film has to be launched, regardless of scale, but there must be a formality.

Cao Xuan himself is not superstitious, but he feels that it is harmless to say goodbye, so he should pray for a good omen to avoid bad luck.

Luck in the entertainment industry is sometimes quite metaphysical.

Maybe bad luck will happen one day, the director of the crew will be arrested for unspoken rules, the hero and heroine will cheat and the mistress will be exposed, and the assistant director and producer will die in a car accident, who can bear it.

Originally, this drama hoped to take advantage of the popularity of "Soldiers Assault" and rush for a hit. Later, the drama crew was desperate, and everything would be fine if it could be broadcast.

This thing is difficult to explain scientifically, just like no one knows that so many stars will be folded in 2021.

So although Cao Xuan didn't believe it, he would never stop him, and he would worship as soon as he should. In case it works, even if it doesn't work, just ask for psychological comfort.

After the opening ceremony, the reporters around took pictures, and then entered the interview session, mainly targeting Cao Xuan and Jia Jingwen, Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Guoli were also mentioned a few words.

"Cao Xuan, there is news on the Internet that you are now making TV dramas that are not in line with your fame and status. You should make movies. Do you have anything to say?"

"I think film and television creation does not distinguish between high and low. Movies have the advantages of movies, and TV dramas also have the advantages of TV dramas.

Mr. Chen Daoming, Mr. Chen Baoguo, and my master Mr. Li Xuejian are all very good actors, and they are also very famous. Could it be that they should not make TV dramas?
When I take on a role now, I dare not say that I don’t consider other factors at all, but basically I still put the role first. I like this role so I act, whether it’s a TV series, a drama or a movie. "

Cao Xuan pondered for two seconds before answering the reporter's question.

Movies are more compelling than TV dramas, which is a recognized impression in the industry and dramas, but from an artistic point of view, dramas are more artistically valuable than movies.

Movies are the seventh art, and television is the eighth art. Both of them are just in the top position. Which one of the two brothers looks down on the other?
You know, drama has become an art hundreds of years ago. If Cao Xuan pursued art, he should not make movies, but stage plays.

Of course, this is a bit of an argument.

Movies are indeed better than TV dramas, whether it is audio-visual effects, specific shooting techniques, actors' acting skills, or artistic tension, they are all stronger than TV dramas.

Cao Xuan never meant to resist acting in movies, but that doesn't mean he can't act in TV dramas.

Especially for the dramas of his own company, all the money earned flows into his pockets. Whether he plays or not is directly related to the difference in the overall profit of the drama, which is tens of millions.

Cao Xuan now goes out to accept plays and make movies, and the salary is only 2000 million, no matter how much more, few people can afford it, and they are not willing to pay.

The film market is very realistic, especially now that it has not been affected by the traffic era. Although fame is important, it depends more on whether you have box office appeal.

Cao Xuan's fame is worth a gamble, but it's not enough to spend money. The 2000 million film salary is hard to get back in China at this stage. If it can't be sold overseas, it will definitely lose money.

Compared with it, they are more willing to split the 2000 million into two 1000 million or four 500 million to invite other Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. It is not that expensive, and it is relatively familiar, which is safer.

Cao Xuan is very popular in the film market, but it is difficult to reach an agreement on the conditions.

Cao Xuan was often not satisfied with the price given by the film studio, and the film studio couldn't meet the requirements mentioned by Cao Xuan, and in the end the film fell apart.

There are also many film crews who plan to use the so-called dividends to pay for the film, and come to prostitute Cao Xuan for nothing.

But Cao Xuan was not short of money, and with low pay and low dividends, it would be better for him to direct the production crew, not to mention the compensation, the shooting environment is comfortable, and there are not so many troubles.

And since he chose to raise the crew by himself, there must be a lot of commercial considerations, especially since Cao Xuan is Fanxing's most lucrative sign right now.

Therefore, making movies and TV shows is secondary, and making money in business is the top priority.

If Fanxing can develop, no fool will use the so-called artist status to measure a film and television giant.

As I said before, a real boss doesn't care about the position, the number of roles, or the number of roles. He only cares about his own heart and what he wants to play.

Cao Xuan is not yet open-minded to that point, but he is not particularly demanding.

Only artists in the rising or declining period will be extremely concerned about the so-called coffee position resource matching, because they cannot retreat, because if you take a step back, others will get your position.

Cao Xuan, who has entered the No. 1 foreign music scene and Chinese music scene, and has been promoted to capital.

Not to mention that he is detached from the outside world in China, but he also has enough confidence to be "willful". Besides, it's not that Cao Xuan doesn't stop making movies.

After refuting the so-called "coffee position theory", Cao Xuan also made a statement emphatically.

"In the future, I will not give up filming TV dramas, but I will also try to actively explore the field of film, so that both film and television will flourish."

When the reporter heard the words, his eyes lit up: "From what you said, it seems that you intend to appear in a movie."

"It's not intentional, it's already being implemented."

Knowing that many people are thinking about this matter, Cao Xuan also let it out: "Our company plans to have a new film project, and it is currently in the process of official application review.

If it passes, the film that I will act in and star in for the first time in the second half of the year will be officially approved. I hope you will pay more attention to it then. "

Hmm, why is she becoming more and more like Teacher Six...

The reporters were all very interested in Cao Xuan's first film appearance, but Cao Xuan didn't talk much, after all, this was the opening ceremony of "Yi Tian Tu Long Hui".

After participating in a large number of interviews, the reporter left the stage with a red envelope. Boss Wu walked around and then left, and the crew officially started filming.

Today's play is mainly about Cao Xuan, the two heroines are fine, Jia Jingwen took advantage of the set to adjust the machine, and when Cao Xuan was waiting for the scene, he came over to chat, exchanged a few words, and then casually asked.

"You just said that your company is preparing a new movie, what subject?"

"Romance."

Jia Jingwen's eyes lit up, romance movies are good, the heroine is important, and it can also stir up gossip.

This time participating in "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", she has tasted the sweetness.

Cao Xuan's popularity is too high, and the two of them have "convicted records", and the crew's cameras were not turned on. The materials and exposure of all parties alone made her popular in the mainland, and her popularity is not inferior to many first-line florets.

If there is another romance movie together with "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", Jia Jingwen is confident to wrestle with the four little Huadan's wrists.

More importantly, the cooperation of two consecutive dramas will not only succeed in their careers, but it may also be a good promotion for the two of them.

For Jia Jingwen whose career is gradually shifting to the mainland, if she can do a fake show with Cao Xuan for real, it will be worth more than making ten movies.

Jia Jingwen recalled what she accidentally heard on the phone from Cao Xuan and others——

During the filming stage, Cao Xuan plans to take time to investigate around Baiyangdian in Baoshi, Hebei Province. If it goes well, he plans to spend a lot of money to buy land, and the initial investment will reach more than 3 million.

3 million, 3 million, you can't spend it all in one lifetime!

Jia Jingwen didn't know how many shares Cao Xuan could hold in it, but being able to lead and operate such a large project already showed his strength.

Not to mention that Cao Xuan is young, handsome, talented, and has high potential, which has made Jia Jingwen ignore other factors. If he can win the best, if he can't, he hopes to make friends and hug his thighs.

"Have you decided on the heroine? Boss Cao, give me a chance. I'll charge you a friendly price."

Jia Jingwen tried it out jokingly, and Cao Xuan laughed, "I can't afford to hire a big star like you for a small business."

This is considered a polite refusal, but Jia Jingwen is not discouraged. Anyway, there is a chance before the decision is announced.

After chatting for a while, Jia Jingwen was called to fix the makeup and take pictures. Cao Xuan took a look at the still busy scene setting, and simply reviewed the lines.

After a few glances, Gao Yuanyuan slipped over wearing a costume. It was Zhou Zhiruo's appearance in the early stage, with a pink gauze skirt, red mole between the eyebrows, elegant, handsome, and charming.

"Boss, what were you two talking about just now?"

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't go around the corner."

Gao Yuanyuan is considered an old man in the company, and Cao Xuan was not polite to her. Da Meiyuan was stunned and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, but she still had the courage to ask,
"Is the heroine of the movie you mentioned just now decided?"

"deal."

"Who?"

"Hu Jing."

Cao Xuan took a strange look at Gao Yuanyuan, the heroine of the TV series was not satisfied with her acting skills, and wanted to act with him in a movie.

"Sister Jing, it's all right."

If it was Dong Xuan or other actresses, Gao Yuanyuan would not agree with her, but Hu Jing, the company's first sister and proprietress, had no opinion at all, and she dared not have it.

Gao Yuanyuan left in despair, Cao Xuan was about to continue reading the script when the phone rang, and the call was connected, and there was Fan Xiaopang's crisp and sweet voice.

"Brother Xuan, I heard you are going to make a movie?"

Good guy, the news got out within two hours after the reporter left.

Cao Xuan was speechless, he responded casually, and hung up Fan Xiaopang's call. Within 5 minutes, Mr. Zhou's call came.

"Brother, I live cheaply, so think about it."

"Don't call me brother, I'm scared, this time it's a romance movie, go talk to Jingjing, if she agrees, I'll ask you to act."

"Forget it, think of me next time when something good happens."

Mr. Zhou immediately gave up. She and Hu Jing are also considered friends, and they often keep in touch with each other, knowing that Hu Jing has always wanted to play a real couple with Cao Xuan.

She even suspected that Cao Xuan might have filmed this movie specially for Hu Jing, not to mention that she couldn't cut Hu Jing, even if she could, she couldn't do it.

Mr. Zhou didn't say anything else, but he was definitely a loyal friend, and he couldn't do backstabbing.

Afterwards, Cao Xuan either tactfully or bluntly rejected many actresses he knew, and was finally forced to shut down the phone.

But that still hasn't dampened the enthusiasm for the movie.

Romance movies, the heroine is important, and the gimmick of Cao Xuan's first movie, and it can catch the popularity of Cao Tianwang.

If you can find a good director, not to mention blockbusters, Xiaohuo has great hopes. Coupled with various additional benefits, the resource value is comparable to some big productions.

Those who have projects in their hands are fine, but actresses who have no projects or ordinary projects are all eyeing this movie, and use various relationships to see if they can snatch this resource.

If it really doesn't work, and you can't win the heroine, it's okay to have a second female lead with a heavy role.
