Chapter 52 "Little Li Fei Dao" and "The True Color of Criminal Police"

There are many crews who come to Cao Xuan. Apart from the grass stage crew who make up the number, there are also five or six regular crews.

However, compared to Ren Xianqi's direct role as the male lead, most of the crews who came to Cao Xuan were second or third, and the Hong Kong and Taiwan crews were even lower.

This is understandable.

It's not that Cao Xuan is not as popular as Ren Xianqi, but the main reason is that mainland artists are inferior to Hong Kong and Taiwan these days, especially male actors. The mainland cannot compete with those Hong Kong and Taiwan male stars.

More importantly, Ren Xianqi is backed by a company, has strong network resources, and may even directly participate in the investment of the crew.

In contrast, Cao Xuan opened his own studio to fight alone, and his film and television contacts and resources were weak. Even if the crew and producers took a fancy to his popularity, they would definitely give priority to their own artists.

Cao Xuan had already anticipated this situation, otherwise he would not have chosen a singer to start the game.

When the singer starts, relying on the popularity accumulated in the music world, he can also break through the barriers of the film and television circle, and gradually ascend from the second or third supporting role.

If you only rely on one Ximen Qing, you want to be popular in the film and television circle, and the difficulty factor is ten times higher.

Unless he is willing to befriend a rich woman or sell his ass...

Cao Xuan and his agent Jiang Yue also discussed it before. For now, his career focus is still on the music scene, to further consolidate his reputation and status, and to constantly seek breakthroughs.

As for film and television, it is advocated to play steadily and not in a hurry to be the male protagonist, focusing on brushing face and increasing popularity.

After Cao Xuan slowly brushed his face and qualifications, coupled with the rising popularity of the music scene, the male lead naturally came naturally.

Even at that time, without the support of big companies, Cao Xuan was still excluded from the film and television industry and could not get a male lead.

But after a few years of accumulation, Cao Xuan almost had independent capital at that time, and he opened the stall by himself if it was a big deal.

But now that his wings are not fully established, Cao Xuan can only be honest with others.

Actually, from a personal point of view, Cao Xuan doesn't care too much about the position and the role, he pays more attention to whether the role is good or not.

Just like Ximen Qing he played before, he couldn't even rank in the top [-] in "Water Margin", but he was definitely on the top of the list.

But in the arena, people can't help themselves.

Sometimes artists are not competing for roles, but their status in the crew and even the entire entertainment industry.

In particular, artists who are in the rising period and who are currently popular are allowed to enter and are not allowed to retreat. Even if they know that the protagonist is not suitable for them, they must grit their teeth and act.

Cao Xuan wants to jump out of this vicious circle and play roles as he wants, and he has to wait until his fame and popularity are completely stabilized.

.........

Because of limited film and television resources, Cao Xuan was very careful in his selection, trying to make every step possible.

Jiang Yue brought many scripts from Luzhou from the capital. Cao Xuan read it carefully and finally chose two roles.

Luo Yang in the mainland criminal investigation drama "The True Color of the Criminal Police" and Jing Muming in the Taiwanese martial arts drama "Little Li Flying Knife".

The roles of these two roles are not important, but Cao Xuan values ​​the influence of these two dramas. A supporting role in a popular drama is far more worthwhile than playing the second male lead in an ordinary TV series.

"The True Color of Criminal Police" is adapted from the novel "Devil and Dao in the Land of Abundance", directed by director Zhang Jiandong, and produced by a private advertising company, China Film Cooperative Company and the Public Security Department of Hui Province.

The male protagonist of this drama is Wang Zhiwen, who is now very popular because of "The Addiction", and the villain is Li Youbin, the future leader of "Bright Sword".

Luo Yang, played by Cao Xuan, is barely regarded as the fourth male in it. His role is average, but he has a whole character line.

He was originally a harmless, motivated young man. He set up a stall to do business for the burden of his family. As a result, he was repeatedly bullied by local evil forces.

This is a villain with tragic elements, and the character's charm is not weaker than a few leading actors.

Coupled with the excellent script quality of the drama "The True Color of Criminal Police", Cao Xuan hardly hesitated and listed it as his first choice.

And the second drama "Little Li Flying Knife", the representative work of the martial arts master Gu Long, is also well-known in later generations.

Li Xunhuan also staged a famous scene called the root of all evil, holding two beauties Yu Feihong and Jia Jingwen at the same time, which is simply Cao Xuan's idol in life.

But then again, that famous scene was actually edited. In fact, Jia Jingwen's Sun Xiaohong is Li Xunhuan's sister in the play.

So this is not a dragon and two phoenixes, but a family of brothers, sisters and sisters.

If he can choose, Cao Xuan will definitely want to play Li Xunhuan. With his good looks, he is very confident to support Xiao Li Tanhua.

Naihe "Little Li Fei Dao" is produced by China Television of Taiwan Province, and he must give priority to Jiao Enjun, his own person.

Not to mention Li Xunhuan, the male protagonist, even the second male A Fei, Cao Xuan couldn't take it.

Because one of the co-directors of "Little Li Fei Dao" is Yuan Baye, and Wu Jing, who plays Ah Fei, is the object of Yuan Baye's favor, and Jiao Enjun can't be replaced by him.

Speaking of which, Cao Xuan was able to act in this play because of the incense love of "Water Margin" last time, Yuan Ba ​​Ye recommended him to the producer of "Little Li Feidao".

Of course, Cao Xuan's current super popularity is also an important reason.

The role of Jing Wuming is regarded as the sixth male in the play "Little Li Feidao". Long Xiaoyun, Shangguan Jinhong, and Long Xiaoyun are ahead of him. Cao Xuan can't play because of their age.

In the ancient dragon martial arts universe, Jing Wuming has a strong sense of existence. He has appeared in many works, and the setting is also very interesting.

A left-handed swordsman, with the highest level of force in the world, and his hidden right hand is faster than his left hand, he is loyal to Shangguan Jin Hong, and he almost regards it as the light of his own life, and even faintly has an Electra complex.

As a popular film and television drama, "Little Li Feidao" is not as complicated as the original.

Jing Wuming is still Shangguan Jinhong's subordinate, but he is an undercover agent. His family was killed by Shangguan Jinhong, so he lurked the money gang to prepare for revenge. When he finally confronted Shangguan Jinhong, he was killed by Shangguan Jinhong.

Compared with the original book, the character charm of the film and television version of this character has been weakened too much.

If "Little Li Fei Dao" is not expected to be a big hit, Cao Xuan would not agree to play.

To this end, Cao Xuan specifically asked the screenwriter to call the screenwriter through the producer, hoping that the other party could change the setting of Jing Wuming in the script, for example, to be closer to the cold-blooded killer like the original.

No matter what Cao Xuan says, he can be regarded as a famous singer.

He was willing to "condescend" to play such a small role, and only put forward such a not-so-excessive request. After discussion with the "Little Li Flying Knife" crew, he felt that he could agree.

After that, Cao Xuan successively finalized contracts with the two crews of "The True Color of Criminal Police" and "Little Li Feidao".

"The True Color of Criminal Police" is paid 1.5 yuan for a single episode, and Cao Xuan has almost ten episodes for the whole play, with a total pay of 15 yuan.

"Little Li Fei Dao" did not calculate the single-episode remuneration, but packaged it to 40. In addition to the remuneration, there was also the cost of purchasing a theme song from Cao Xuan.

According to Cao Xuan's current status in the music and film circles, the salary of 40 miles obviously does not account for the bulk...
