Chapter 518 Dragon: Damn, he pretended to be there

Fanxing Film and Television City, Tangcheng Scenic Spot in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty
The costume time-travel drama "Locking Jade in the Tang Palace" is being filmed here, which has attracted the attention of large and small production crews and media.

Although it is the signboard of Guolan, it is not produced by Fanxing, but the shooting team is almost clear of Fanxinggalaxy.

Needless to say, the director and behind-the-scenes, the male and female protagonists are Hu Ge and Da Mimi, who are very popular nowadays, and star artists Zhang Bo, Zhao Xiaodao, Guo Zhenni and others are the leading actors.

In the rest area, Zhao Xiaodao wore a costume for the show. She played the role of Princess Changle. Historically, she was the daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and also Tang Gaozong's sister.

However, for the sake of the plot, TV dramas have changed the ages of these historical figures.

For example, Li Zhi's age became almost the same as that of his two elder brothers Li Tai and Li Ke. The eldest grandson queen lived until the prince rebelled, and even died because of the prince's anger.

In history, Wu Zetian, who entered the palace as a teenager, also turned into the same age of the above-mentioned princes, and was named a female official by the eldest grandson queen who had never met in history.

If Cao Xuan hadn't stopped her, the screenwriter would have made Shangguan Wan'er a good best friend of Wu Zetian and the heroine.

Because of Zhao Xiaodao's tender face, Princess Changle changed from an older sister to a younger sister. In the play, she is the heroine's best friend and assist.

How should I put it, like the previous starry "Love Through Time and Space" and "Myth", it can only be watched as an entertainment idol drama, and it must not be true to history.

He came to the rest area and sat down, wrapped himself in the long down jacket distributed by the crew, Zhao Xiaodao looked back, and saw that Da Mimi was fiddling with the phone angrily.

She didn't even need to look, she knew it must be Da Mimi who was browsing Liu Tianxian's news again.

From the last time Hu Jing introduced the two of them to each other, and then they entered the group shooting together, Zhao Xiaodao has been with Da Mimi for a long time, and he is already a "good girlfriend" praised by fans in Da Mimi's post bar.

The kind of bridesmaids who must be invited to get married...

During this time, Zhao Xiaodao also had a detailed understanding of Da Mimi.

In her opinion, Da Mimi is a very enterprising and smart girl who works hard, is willing to endure hardships, and handles people very well, even tactfully.

Although she is not as good as those gangsters, but compared to other actresses of this age, she can be regarded as a social expert.

For example, Guo Zhenni of the West Palace Party. Strictly speaking, both of them became popular after "Wulin Biography". One Guo Furong and the other Zhu Wushuang had very similar starting stages.

But in the subsequent development, the two obviously distanced themselves.

Works such as "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Heirs" have made Damimi the most popular floret in the new generation. Although Guo Zhenni has also starred in several dramas, she is still far behind Damimi.

Although there are various elements such as opportunity, fortune, and backing, the personalities of the two are also an important reason for determining their career development.

Da Mi Mi was born to eat the rice bowl of celebrities!

This evaluation was not made by Zhao Xiaodao, but what Cao Xuan said she heard from Hu Jing.

And the last artist who received such an evaluation from Boss Cao was Fan Xiaopang, the first sister of Fanxing.

People like them may have insufficient congenital conditions, but with acquired hard work, pornographic quotient, and ruthlessness in their bones, they are more suitable to survive in this circle than those with better innate conditions.

Therefore, Zhao Xiaodao is actually learning from Yang Mi during this period of time, learning from each other's strengths to make up for his weaknesses, so that he can better adapt to the entertainment industry.

Of course, in Zhao Xiaodao's eyes, Da Mimi with a strong mentality is not without weaknesses, and that is Liu Tianxian.

I don't know if it's because Liu Tianxian stimulated Da Mimi too much. Now Da Mimi is more and more affected by him, and she seems to be becoming Da Mimi's heart demon.

Sighing in his heart, Zhao Xiaodao felt that he had to find a way to untie Da Mimi.

Otherwise, if it goes on like this, it's hard to say whether Da Mimi can catch up with Liu Tianxian in the future, Zhao Xiaodao is afraid that she will be stimulated and go crazy first.

"Miss Mi, what are you looking at?"

Zhao Xiaodao leaned forward and asked, Da Mimi's neighbors still pretended a little bit, but facing Zhao Xiaodao who had been listening to her complaining in private for several months, was there any need to hide it.

"Looking at this news, I don't know what shameless rumor it is, saying that I put pressure on Hu Ge through Sister Jing to force him to cooperate with me in order to suppress Liu Yifei. Isn't this nonsense.

Just ask Hu Ge, before the two of them collaborated, he was scolded by Liu Yifei's fans, and he was unwilling to let him cooperate. "

In the past, big honey was not considered popular, and she could not pose a threat to Liu Tianxian. At most, she was scolded for a few words, and Liu Tianxian's fans did not take her too seriously.

But last year, "The Heirs" became popular, and Da Mimi rose to prominence. By the way, because Liu Tianxian's new drama "Summer" hit the street, many of her fans ran to ridicule her.

Now that "Taken" is a big hit, Liu Tianxian even "entered Hollywood", while Da Mimi can only "make TV dramas bitterly". Until she was ridiculed by Tianxian fans.

After coming and going, the two fans who were originally related to each other were completely torn apart.

Although under the control of Fanxing, they have not yet reached the point of vicious attacks, but it is common for them to taunt each other and splash some dirty water.

Damimi is a little disadvantaged overall, her grades are not comparable, and because of the suspicion of plastic surgery, she got the nickname of "Nenniu Wufang".

And Liu Tianxian is at the peak of his appearance at this time, [Yahuazi] hasn't revealed his true colors yet, and he doesn't have too many godfathers in his career. Vase], and all kinds of gossip with Cao Xuan.

It was precisely because of this that Da Mimi held her breath.

In the past, no matter how good Liu Tianxian's grades were, he never showed it off to her face. Now, a group of fans ridiculed her every day, and no matter how good their attitude was, they became angry.

"What's so great about her, I also acted in "Taken", as well as "Painted Skin", "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" and "Slam Dunk".

In terms of box office, I’m almost 10 billion box office in the mainland, not to mention number one among actresses, but also in the top three, what can I show off. "

After Da Mimi paused, Zhao Xiaodao heard it in his left ear and his right ear popped. She had heard similar words several times in the past few days.

But the key algorithm of Damimi is not recognized by the outside world. Except for one "Slam Dunk", the others are supporting roles or even secondary roles. If you say it, you will probably be ridiculed even more.

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhao Xiaodao persuaded Da Mimi: "Sister Mi, from my point of view, this may not be a bad thing."

Big Honey: ? ? ?

Look at your round head and small face, you are cute and cute, and your feelings have betrayed the revolution?

"As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall."

Zhao Xiaodao didn't give a shit, and directly pointed out the key point: "We watched the movie "Taken" before, and she said she was the heroine, but in fact she appeared in a limited number of scenes, and the movie was all up to Mr. Cao.

This kind of performance, the domestic media can only brag about it, if they want to break into Hollywood in one go, if Hollywood is so easy to enter, Sister Bing Bing and the others have already entered. "

On the one hand, the bystanders are clear, and on the other hand, Zhao Xiaodao already has strong cognitive judgment ability, which can also be seen from her career plan.

Regardless of the results obtained afterwards, at least the route she chose was correct at the time of the initial choice, which shows that she is a very sober and calm person.

The only fallback may be marriage, but it is estimated that it is also because of pregnancy, there is really no way, it is not a crime of war.

When Da Mimi was tortured because Liu Tianxian rose to a higher level, she saw the hidden danger behind Liu Tianxian's success.

To put it bluntly, Liu Tianxian scored this score in his first film, and the starting point is too high.

This is not a bad thing in the first place, but the key is that this result has little to do with her, it is all due to Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan can't always fly with her, Liu Tianxian will always come out to carry the banner, and with "Hurricane Taken" Zhuyu in front, no matter what movie she will make in the future, she will compare it with this movie.

Female stars don't carry the box office in the first place, and Liu Tianxian is not an entertainer known for his acting skills, and he is even a vase that most of them rely on others.

And "Taken" is the representative work of Cao Xuan's entry into Hollywood, so Liu Tianxian can easily surpass it.

The media and those black fans will not analyze and evaluate objectively. As long as your performance is mediocre, you will immediately face backlash. You were a Hollywood star in your last movie, and you will be a box office cancer in your next movie.

Liu Tianxian had already suffered this loss before, and her performance in "Midsummer" was not bad, but it was not as good as her previous hit, which was the Fall of the Golden Eagle Goddess.

So, Zhao Xiaodao slapped his hands and concluded confidently.

"Liu Yifei's suitable roles are just these. If her career has risen to a certain level, it is difficult to climb up, but she can't be ashamed to shoot ordinary projects. The overall trend is bound to stagnate or decline.

But we are in the rising period, one ebbs and the other rises, after some time, Liu Yifei should envy us from the bottom. "

"Wonderful!"

After hearing Zhao Xiaodao's words, Da Mimi was overjoyed, and couldn't help but look at this good sister with admiration.

She knew that Zhao Xiaodao was not a simple character, but she just thought it was character and scheming. Now it seems that her mentality is stable enough, and her strategic vision is also good.

Maybe usually, she is still cautious, but now Liu Tianxian puts too much pressure on her, and her first reaction is to be happy to have such an outstanding friend.

Da Mimi lifted her spirits, and grabbed Zhao Xiaodao, with arrogance.

"I heard that Liu Yifei's classmates from class 02 of the Chinese opera in the company have created a group of Chinese opera talents. Bah, they look like a group of mobs. If you ask me, our sisters are the real mainstays of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young, Fanxing."

Zhao Xiaodao nodded. Although it is exaggerated to say that the Xigong Party is a mob, she still agrees with the tacit understanding and future between herself and Da Mimi.

The two sisters were cheering here, and in the rest area on the other side, Zhang Bo, one of the sages of the West Palace, was sitting. He sneaked a few glances and poked another sage, Guo Zhenni.

"What do you think they are talking about? They cry for a while and laugh for a while."

"It's nothing more than discussing how to deal with Sissy."

"You said where did the two of them get their self-confidence? That's all for Yang Mi. This Zhao Liying can't even compare to the two of us. What kind of dream are you doing?"

"That's not necessarily true. He is Vice President Hu's confidant."

"It's as if we have no backing. If you want me to say, one day Wen Zhang, Tang Yan and the others are signed in, and our Chinese opera group of talents will swarm them, these two generals will be abolished."

"..."

The two parties were imagining a bright future, and the discussion was heated. Hu Ge wanted to come over for a drink after the show, looked left and right at the two people in the rest area, hesitated, and silently chose to buy water at a store not far from the crew.

.........

When the West Palace Qunxian and the East Palace Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young were fighting wits and courage in the air in Fanxing Film and Television City, Cao Xuan and Liu Tianxian also returned to China.

Cao Xuan didn't care about other things, he went home to see his daughter first, and Liu Tianxian became the main interviewee of the media.

"Taken" is so good.

The mainland box office has always been in love with Master Xing's "Yangtze River No. [-]", taking turns to reach the top, and firmly crushing Xiao Zhou's "Slam Dunk".

Japan also took 1000 million US dollars, which was barely among the best in the same period.

The most important thing is North America, which won a weekly championship and is expected to hit the box office of 8000 million US dollars.

Since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero" and Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 2", it is rare to see Chinese movies or Chinese movie stars have such a strong performance in Hollywood.

Memoirs of a Geisha in the international chapter did well though.But the subject matter is sensitive, so it is ignored by everyone.

However, "Taken" does not have this problem. It is an out-and-out action movie, and it can even be regarded as a pure Chinese movie. How could it not be blown up.

Cao Xuan has become a new generation of Hollywood action stars, and Liu Tianxian is also a floret invited by major Hollywood companies, and is associated with a large number of Hollywood productions.

Cao Xuan has always been against this kind of groundless propaganda, and he does not lack this kind of exposure.

On the contrary, Liu Tianxian took advantage of this shareholder style to show off, showing his face crazily, and raised a wave of coffee vigorously.

In the past, although she was the hottest little flower, she was still some distance away from the top big flowers. Now her qualifications are not quite there, but at least she has the qualifications to be on par.

Of course, Fanxing's management team actually understands what Zhao Xiaodao can consider.

But then again, the higher you climb, the harder you fall, but first you have to climb high.

What a great opportunity to raise coffee, don't think about whether you fall or not in the future, and waste this opportunity, God knows that in the year of the monkey, you will encounter such an opportunity.

Don't you see, in the past few years, the number of actresses who have really "made it into" Hollywood can be counted on one hand, and waste is the greatest shame.

When I really climbed up, I will think of a way to remedy it, put more cotton bedding, anyway, my blood is thick, and I won’t die even if I fall...

Liu Tianxian occupied the page for several days, until Mr. Chen came out to apologize and announced his withdrawal from the entertainment circle, and then he snatched the headlines of the entertainment section.

It was also at this time that Boss Cao came out in a low-key manner and held a "Taken" celebration banquet in Fanxing.

Two days ago, "Hurricane Rescue" was officially released. With a domestic box office of 2.09 million, it surpassed "Yangtze River No. 1.86" with 2008 million and won the championship of the [-] Spring Festival.

This time he won, on the one hand, Master Xing did not take the usual path and made a tragic sci-fi children's movie, and on the other hand, "Taken" has an overseas achievement halo bonus.

However, the box office of the two films is close to 4 million. Even if there are star-studded theaters and the expansion of the mainland film market, it will almost squeeze out the box office potential of the Spring Festival stalls.

Not only was "Yangtze River No. 2000" 6200 million less than the box office of the original time and space, but Xiao Zhou's "Slam Dunk" only took 5000 million, almost [-] million less than the original time and space, becoming the biggest box office of this Spring Festival. victim.

Of course, it wasn't that Cao Xuan deliberately cheated Xiao Zhou.

He also didn't expect that "Taken" and "Yangtze River No. [-]" would compete at the box office, and as a result, "Slam Dunk", which ranked third, was half dead.

Time is also fate!

Last year, "The Unspeakable Secret", which was directed and acted by Xiao Zhou, was also under the care of Fanxing Cinemas, and its box office was 1500 million more than that of the original time and space. Perhaps now it is repaying the original debt.

But no matter what, "Taken" was indeed a big winner. It was a big hit overseas, and its domestic results were also good. The celebration banquet was full of congratulations to Cao Xuan.

Just after dealing with Mr. Han, Cao Xuan turned around and saw the familiar big nose.

Cheng Long smiled brightly: "This time you are very prestigious. The bosses in Hollywood have asked me about you. Now you are more popular than me in Hollywood."

"Brother holds me up."

Cao Xuan had some doubts in his heart. Although Jackie Chan had passed away in Hollywood, his status in the film industry was not something he could catch up to now.

"The King of Kung Fu filmed by you and that one will be released in April, right?"

"April 4 in North America, April 18 in the Mainland."

"……good."

Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Apart from other factors, "Iron Man" was released in North America on April 4, and "The King of Kung Fu" hit it right.

However, Cao Xuan couldn't persuade him. There will be more Hollywood blockbusters in the future, and June to August will be called the battlefield of hell. Cheng Long and the others probably don't want to postpone it.

Not to mention them, even "Iron Man" is backed by the popularity of Marvel comics, so it's honestly going to the May file.

And considering the quality of "The King of Kung Fu", in fact, it is almost the same in any schedule...

Cao Xuan complained silently, and Cheng Long was still a little bit emotional: "It's a pity, you didn't play the God of War in Yujiang back then, otherwise, if the three of us join forces, who can stop it."

"Anyone can stop it."

Cao Xuan murmured in his heart, remembering that Huayi and J+J Company had asked him to play the villain in the past, and planned to create the strongest international lineup in the Chinese film industry.

But Cao Xuan really didn't like this book, and he didn't really want to be a green leaf for Cheng, Li and an American, so he declined.

And Huayi did not ask Liu Tianxian to play the heroine. The original time and space invited Liu Tianxian because Huayi negotiated to sign Liu into Huayi at that time, but Liu's mother tricked him, and Liu Tianxian was directly exiled from the Beijing circle.

Now that Liu Tianxian is Fanxing's darling, it is impossible for him to sign with Huayi, so Huayi will naturally not look for her again.

Huayi chose Cao Xuan to play the role because of his box office appeal and international influence, but the heroine is mainly to praise people, and it must be based on his own people.

It is said that Huayi's internal affairs are very torn apart. Che Xiao, An Yixuan, Huo Siyan, Chen Zihan, Yuan Li and other Huayi's contracted female stars even reached the point of exposing each other's scandals.

The Wang family brothers wanted to use this play to hook up with a certain Zhao, but they failed. In the end, it was the two Huayi Huayi masters Zhou Gongzi and Li Bingbing who had the last laugh.

Seeing Cheng Long's full confidence, Cao Xuan really didn't want to hit him.

I don't know if he was stimulated by "Rush Hour 3" last year. Now Cheng Long is starting to toss in Hollywood again, giving up the prejudice that the king does not see the king, and cooperating with Jet Li in "The King of Kung Fu" and dubbing "Kung Fu Panda". Cooperated with Smith's son on "Kung Fu Dream".

However, this also reminded Cao Xuan that Cheng Long still has influence in the world, and if the script is suitable, it would be good to invite him to cooperate in a movie.

However, whether Cheng Long is willing to match him and the high salary are more critical issues.

Cao Xuan can't afford to pay only 1500 million US dollars, or even 2000 million US dollars.

But Cheng Long often has to add a portion of the film's profit dividends, and this is Cao Xuan's bottom line.

After all, Cao Xuan can carry the box office by himself, and Cheng Long is not an indispensable necessity. If the price is too high, the gain will not be worth the loss.

Cao Xuan didn't say what he thought, and had a chat with Cheng Long, and the next day they ran into each other on a film crew.

This time Cheng Long came to the capital, not only to attend Cao Xuan's celebration banquet, but another matter was the real thing.

As the Olympics approached, we started recording the MV for the promotional song "Welcome to the Capital", which will be launched at the end of April, the 100-day countdown to the Olympics.

As the songwriter, Cao Xuan also served as the director and chief planner of the "Beijing Olympics" MV. Cheng Long was the producer + finale actor. Two Chinese superstars jointly created this MV.

What's even more impressive is that this time the "Beijing Welcomes You" MV employs 100 popular singers/stars, spanning the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. The luxurious lineup is definitely the first time in the Chinese entertainment industry.

The higher authorities asked Cao Xuan to take charge of the MV shooting because they were also optimistic about his influence in the music and entertainment circles, and hoped to call on a large number of popular singers and stars to help out.

Cao Xuan naturally did his part, and immediately issued a summoning order to the entire Chinese music and entertainment circles.

On the one hand, Boss Cao's personal prestige and contacts, and on the other hand, the halo of helping the Olympics and the country, there are many people who respond.

Cao Xuan immediately ran into a difficult problem, there were too many people who came to sign up, and the 100 places were not enough!
There was no other way but to offend people. Finally, a lineup was selected, and one of them was randomly selected, all of whom were big names in the music industry or popular singers/stars.

If the weight is not enough or not popular, even if you want to appear in the MV...

With Cao Xuan's intervention, the lineup of the "Beijing Welcomes You" MV is even more luxurious than the original version. Even Cheng Long couldn't help shaking slightly when he saw most of the names on the list.

"All are invited."

"Everyone is invited, and the MV is expected to be filmed in two weeks. Except for a few on-site recordings that can't be made back from abroad, all others will be recorded in the Beijing recording studio. The expenses will be borne by themselves, and the whole process will be kept confidential."

Cheng Long gave him a thumbs up, but Cao Xuan was very calm: "Brother, I'll see them all at that time. CCTV will have a party on the same day at the end of April. I think you will have to sing this song with them."

"What about you, didn't you write this song?"

"I wrote it, but I have other programs at the party, one chorus and one solo. I don't think I will be allowed to lead the group singing anymore. After all, I will perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games later, so I have to keep a little bit of mystery."

Cheng Long: "..."

Damn, it was actually pretended by him!
