China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 543 The Crazy Involution of the Starry Actresses
The plot of "Rescue Mr. Me" is just a prototype case, but some plot art has been processed to see the rhythm and narrative style. The plot design itself does not have much praise.

Not only Lu Mo, but almost all relevant film critics and senior movie fans all focused their attention on the acting skills of several actors.

Cao Xuan, in particular, has almost received the most praise for his acting skills in his career as an actor. Everyone may not be as gross and exaggerated as Lu Mo said, but they are not hesitant to praise.

In the past two years, the only actors who have received so many praises for their acting skills are Zhang Hanyu in "Assembly", Huang Bo in "Happy Family", and Mr. Zhou in "Li Mi's Conjecture".

The former two can be said to be in the light of the plot, while the latter depends entirely on Mr. Zhou's personal performance.

Just as "Saving Mr. Myself" is considered the pinnacle of Cao Xuan's acting skills, many people also believe that "Li Mi's Conjecture" is a new career peak for Mr. Zhou surpassing "Painted Skin".

Of course, this statement was not accepted by everyone.

Some people prefer Cao Xuan's "New World" or other movies, and some viewers think Zhou Gongzi's "If You Love" and "Suzhou Creek" are more aura. Different preferences, different opinions.

But no matter what, this year's Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards, Mr. Zhou is undoubtedly a big hit.

Especially the Golden Rooster Award, Mr. Zhou has already won the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue. If he can win the Golden Rooster Award again, he will become the first Chinese-language three-golden actress.

Similarly, Cao Xuan is also the favorite of this year's Golden Rooster and Golden Horse. As for the Golden Statue, because there is not enough Xiangjiang proportion, the registration requirements do not meet.

And Cao Xuan has already won the Golden Rooster Best Actor. According to the unspoken rule that winning a Golden Rooster is equivalent to being out of the game, the possibility of a second Golden Rooster is not high.

On the contrary, it is the Golden Horse. Cao Xuan has never won it. If he can get his wish this time, then he will be the first Chinese-language three-gold actor.

Although the awards are not yet announced, Huayi and Fanxing have not made a big effort to prevent slaps in the face, but many caring people are still silently discussing the chances of the three gold medal winners and actresses appearing.

It's okay for Jinji, after all, he is from his own family, and he is willing to support mainland actors, and Huayi's contacts in the Beijing circle are also good.

For Cao Xuan, the golden horse may be a hindrance, but how can Boss Cao use common sense to deal with it.

He has never awarded the Best Actor Golden Statue Award to non-Xiangjiang actors, and he was forced to turn his head down by his hard and soft tactics, not to mention the relatively neutral and objective Golden Horse Award at this time.

A few years ago, Cao Xuan actually had a chance to be crowned emperor, especially in 2006's "New World". At that time, his failure to win the award caused a storm of public opinion, and various conspiracy theories emerged one after another.

And with the last "New World" as a base, even if some people are not convinced, they dare not play tricks easily, let alone Boss Cao's strength.

Taiwanese film studio capital now wants to come to the Mainland to invest in films. First, it pays homage to three piers, China Film, Shanghai Film and Fanxing.

To put it bluntly, all major film studios in Taiwan Province are guests of Cao Xuan, and they are inextricably linked to the Golden Horse Awards, so how could they turn a blind eye to Boss Cao.

If Cao Xuan's performance is not good, the Golden Horse Awards can still use various reasons to criticize him.

But his acting skills in "Save Mr. Me" are obvious to all, and it is too difficult to forcibly challenge him, and it is difficult to convince the audience.

The film and television awards are nothing more than work + personal performance + backstage public relations ability. Cao Xuan has everything. In the hearts of some people in the industry, this matter is basically inseparable.

Lu Mo's film review was criticized by many people for licking Cao Xuan too much.

Only the "sensational" title, after the initial surprise, was not raised too many objections, which shows that everyone's thoughts are still similar.

One day after it was released, it was announced that this year's Golden Horse Best Actor finale will be announced. "Save Mr. Me" successfully stole the limelight during the Spring Festival.

The box office on the first day was 1401 million, which may not be a big deal compared to Cao Xuan's other films, but considering the unpopular subject matter, being able to win such a figure also made the crew somewhat excited.

In the following two days, the box office of "Save Mr. Me" also remained good. In three days, it won nearly 4600 million at the box office, directly surpassing "You Long Xi Feng", which was released in the same period, which had just 2000 million.

However, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and the end of the annual holiday, the box office of "Save Mr. Me" had a big drop, and finally won the box office of about 7000 million in the first week.

This statistic is absolutely eye-catching. You must know that the film "Save Mr. Me" is a literary film, and it was not intended to be a big hit when it was filmed.

Fanxing's initial estimate was to exceed [-] million. This was due to Cao Xuan's high popularity, even if the box office was lower, it was still acceptable.

But I didn't expect to make 7000 million in the first week. According to this trend, even if the rising trend collapses later, 1.5 million may not be difficult. If the momentum can be stabilized, 2 million is not impossible.

However, Cao Xuan thinks that the possibility of hitting 2 million is not high, because the first week of the box office is very hot, the annual holiday and the exposure of the Spring Festival Gala are a great credit, and the film's word-of-mouth has fermented, which has attracted many viewers.

But this is not a commercial film after all. When the popularity subsides, I am afraid the box office trend will not be as brilliant as the first week.

But this 1.5 million is enough, and there can be tens of millions of income in Pa La Pa La, half of which goes to Fan Xing, half of which goes to Cao Xuan's film salary to cover bonuses.

"Rescue Mr. My" has a limited cost, considering it is an independent production of Fanxing, Cao Xuan starred in it with no pay, and only received 50% of the dividends.

Although Fanxing owns 100% of Cao Xuan's shares, due to reasons such as taxation and company dividends, the company's account and personal account are separated.

In the early years, due to the small scale of Fanxing and the frequent transfer of large sums of money by Cao Xuan, he was not very sensitive to this aspect. However, as the company grows and even establishes a group company, related issues cannot be sloppy.

So even if it is troublesome, you may even pay more taxes because of it, but Cao Xuan insists that public is public and private is private.

Cao Xuan himself signed a special artist contract with Fan Xing, Fan Xing did not get a share, but Cao Xuan would pay a management fee every year, which was considered to prevent Fan Xing from giving him a "white job".

For example, the investment in "Let the Bullets Fly" is Cao Xuan's money, but it is invested or distributed in Fanxing's and Cao Xuan's personal names.

Fanxing and "Let the Bullets Fly" will coordinate funds and various tasks, and in the end, Cao Xuan's personal money will be calculated and transferred directly to his personal account.

Before this, the money basically belonged to the artist management department's business, and the suppressed variety show department couldn't breathe.
However, now that the rules have changed, the two legs of the artist management department have been directly cut off, and it has become the bottom of several major real power departments. Thanks to the rise of Fan Xiaopang and others' commercial attributes, otherwise Vice President Jiang would have died.

It is more formal for the company to do this, and Cao Xuan also has some cash money, and buys snacks for the children of the family from time to time...

"Rescue Mr. My" was a small hit at the box office. For Cao Xuan, it was just to complete the task, and the key to winning awards at the end of the year.

After the box office came out in the first week, I took my family directly to Europe for vacation.

But for the other leading actors in the crew, "Save Mr. Me" had a great impact on them.

The one who benefited the most is Wang Qianyuan. His performance in the movie is eye-catching and impressive.

Naturally, he also went from an unknown person to a popular movie star. It is said that many film offers have been delivered to the door, and more than 80% of them are gangsters and tough guys.

However, Wang Qianyuan did not take the role rashly, fearing that his image would be fixed. It can be seen that he still has a lot of plans for his career.

Followed by Liu Huohua, he is actually not bad, he has a relatively solid background, he is a double-gold actor, and he also had good box office works such as "The Promise" and "The Golden Armor" before, but it's a pity that they are all supporting roles.

The biggest benefit for him to participate in "Save Mr. Me" this time is that he got to know the screenwriter Ding Sheng and got Boss Cao's eyes.

The next movie "Tough Guy", invested by Guolan and written and directed by Ding Sheng, will have Liu Huohua as the male lead. This is also the first time he has become a commercial movie.

From the male lead of a literary film, to the male lead of a big production, to the male lead of a commercial film, regardless of the cost of the role, the role positioning is step by step.

At least a few young students who are on par with him, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Hu Ge, Yan Kuan and others, are currently far behind him in terms of movies.

After Deng Chao's "Assembly Number" male second, there was basically no development.

Huang Xiaoming's role as a Japanese officer in "The Wind" is now cut off by the star Duan Long. In Huayi, he can't get high-quality resources at all. Recently, he intends to move closer to the Hong Kong circle.

Except for Sun Quan in "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff", Yan Kuan has no other movie roles that are too good.

After leaving Fanxing, this domineering president intends to break through his position. He has given up his favorite idol dramas and costume dramas. Now he is preparing to shoot a suspense TV drama. He intends to play the role of the villain. He may not want to make a movie in a short time.

Hu Ge is the one with the best development among the crowd. "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven" won the male second Baimao. In the second half of the year, "Let the Bullets Fly" is either the six sons or Hu Wan, and the role is not too light.

Even "Three Kingdoms: Guandu", which China Film is leading and planning to shoot this year, with the support of Fan Xing, Hu Ge will definitely get a starring role.

Several major productions have been tempered.Although it's a bit far away from the film king, but he can take it out on his own.

Even Liu Huohua is not without envy for this "Brother Fanxing". Backed by a big platform, he is really rich in resources.

Besides that, there is Guo Zhenni. Her role is a bit small, and she cannot be said to be very popular, but the key is to get Fanxing's attention.

As Lu Mo said, there is no shortage of popular florets in Fanxing, but there is a shortage of talented acting schools with popularity and good looks.

Guo Zhenni has previously starred in popular works such as "Wulin Biography", "Tang Palace Lock Jade" and "Mythology". Although she is not a heroine, she is an important role, and her popularity is not low.

It's just that he has a low-key personality, doesn't like to be exposed, and only knows how to focus on filming. It seems that there is a big gap between Liu Tianxian and Da Mimi, but in fact his foundation is not bad.

Cao Xuan plans to let her be the leading heroine in the first web drama "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" produced by Fanxing.

The plot is a female-frequent fast-travel article. The heroine, as an employee of the Time-Space Administration or a reincarnation of the main god, travels through various worlds and counterattacks the face-slapping Mary Su Shuang drama.

Now that the serialization of "Infinite Horror" online article has ended, Infinite Stream also has a certain influence. Although it is not the only one, it is still novel in film and television dramas.

However, Cao Xuan is not sure whether this kind of film and television drama will be accepted by the audience, so he plans to make it into an online drama. It is expected to have 30 episodes, and about every 10 episodes will be a reincarnation world.

After filming, it will be played independently on the Penguin Star video. If it becomes popular, it can help the website attract traffic. If it is not popular, Fanxing will also have other TV dramas on top.

This kind of fast-paced drama, theoretically, as long as the script is sufficient, it can be done for many seasons. If the effect is good, it is possible to create a film and television series around Guo Zhenni.

Guo Zhenni's appearance is soft and heroic, but she can be salty or sweet, which is suitable for this kind of intelligent and tough heroine, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, who can calmly deal with the environment and quickly pass through the heroine.

This drama is to accumulate popularity for Guo Zhenni. Even if she wants to make Guo Zhenni a powerful faction, it is inconvenient to be bound by the series. At worst, let her film for two seasons and find some accidents to replace the protagonist.
Anyway, no matter whether it is the Time and Space Administration or the Reincarnation, they are not the only ones. If Guo Zhenni doesn't act at that time, another person will directly take over.

The company's Lan Xi, Zhang Li, Qi Wei, etc., can ask the screenwriters to write a different heroine according to their characteristics.

In the past few years, there has been a blue sea of ​​TV dramas, especially when the online video website is about to be launched. Even if several artists in the company want to get involved in the movie, Cao Xuan has been pressing it.

I plan to take this opportunity to shoot a few more popular TV series, first to make Penguin famous.

Cao Xuan has already bought the copyright of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the filming will start next year, which is also the highlight of Fanxing.

All the actresses including Hu Jing and Fan Xiaopang will star, definitely a top-notch lineup of stars.

As for who will play the heroine Zhen Huan, Cao Xuan hasn't decided yet, but it's okay for all the actresses to communicate with each other.

It is worth mentioning that this version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" does not set the Qing Dynasty, but a fictional dynasty based on the original.

At present, the management of a certain bureau is not strict, and historical nihilism has not yet been aimed at the film and television industry. "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the first to go online, so it can avoid some censorship.

It's difficult for Cao Xuan. In order to avoid accidents, the time-travel drama was directly canceled, and he repeatedly stated that the story was purely fictitious at the beginning and end of the credits.

All kinds of time-traveling plots are also about astronomical adventures and so on. They never engage in fancy things such as jumping into wells and crashing cars. If they are imitated by children, it is too late to cry.

Even after "Tang Palace Locked Jade" hit the air, the crew specially invited a history professor and several leading actors to hang a few minutes of small Easter eggs at the end of the film in the form of interesting episodes.

The characters in the drama in the real history of science popularization even did not hesitate to slap themselves and pick out the relevant historical operations in the drama, in order to prevent the audience from being misled and labeled as distorting history.

However, Cao Xuan worked so hard, but couldn't hold back a group of pig teammates who were unscrupulous. After watching the time-travel drama boom, he began to follow suit, and various outrageous plots emerged one after another.

If things go on like this, Cao Xuan reckons that time-travel dramas will probably disappear from the TV stations in a few years, and then change their tactics and switch to the online drama market.

Except for "The Legend of Zhen Huan", when Fan Xiaopang and Liu Tianxian moved to movies, Da Mimi still focuses on TV dramas.

Fanxing bought the copyright of last year's hit Korean drama "Temptation of Wife" and adapted it into "Temptation of Going Home", with Da Mimi playing the heroine Pinru.

The second daughter, Ellie, is also confirmed, Nishinomiya Niangniang's lover, and the best best friend that the big honey got in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3"-Tang Yan.

After graduating from Tangyan Chinese Opera, she failed to enter Fanxing, but she also did not join Orange Sky in the original time and space.

The latter was tortured enough by Fan Xing, half dead, and the two sides still have enmity, she dared to give Cao Xuan and Zeng Li eye drops after eating Xiongxin Leopard.

So she signed with Damimi's old club Rong Xinda, and hooked up with Tang Ren and Huanrui, but in the end she relied on Nishigong Niangniang to win Zixuan from "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Speaking of which, this is also a rare talent among the 02 Chinese opera troupes.

Although they are in the same class with Liu Tianxian, they are not close. On the contrary, because they work together in filming, they are very close to Damimi.

Da Mimi doesn't know whether she really likes her or wants to stimulate Liu Tianxian. Among the few good girlfriends who appear on Weibo every day, except for Zhao Xiaodao, the most frequent one is Tangyan.

This time, the role of Ai Li in "The Temptation of Going Home" was also strongly recommended by Da Mi Mi, and she helped Tang Yan win it.

For this reason, he also offended Zhang Li who was eyeing this role, but Da Mimi didn't care, and was even happy about it.

After all, although Zhang Li is not from Class 02 of the Chinese Opera, she is only one class behind, and has a good friendship with Liu Tianxian, and has always been the backbone of the Fanxing Xigong Party.

After this incident, Tang Yan must be remembered by the West Palace Party.

Tangyan also knew that what she did was not pleasing, but she had no choice. If she could join Fanxing, she would definitely be a loyal minister of the West Palace Party, but she is not a direct descendant of Fanxing.

The last time she was able to act in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", she already went all out and asked Zeng Li to help her intercede, but Zeng Li has too many students, it is impossible to help her all the time.

Tang Yan found a very good reason for herself. The so-called Xigong Party is actually a small internal group of stars, and it does not affect the pros and cons of the 02 class of Chinese opera. She is still a well-behaved and sensible student of Teacher Zeng.

If it doesn't work, I'll be an undercover agent...

Another general of the East Palace Party, Zhao Xiaodao, played Gao Shanshan in "The Temptation of Going Home", and also played the supporting role of the five poisonous beasts in the previous "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

As for Solanum nigrum, it was taken by Liu Shishi of the Tang Dynasty.

Big honey and sweet heart miss Liu Tianxian as a match for herself, but in the end it became a delusion. The fairy sword crew deliberately made a stunt, so they found Liu Shishi, who is known as the little Liu Tianxian.

After the TV series is broadcast, everyone will have their own development in the future, and the four beauties of the fairy sword in the original time and space will probably become the five beauties of the fairy sword.

But neither Damimi nor Liu Tianxian, even Zhao Xiaodao are not interested in this title.

The first two people's careers are booming at this time, and they don't think that the others are qualified to be on par with themselves. Zhao Xiaodao is trying hard to hit the stars and four beauties, and has little interest in the title of a TV series.

Counting it, Zhao Xiaodao has also filmed several movies after Da Mimi, and he also played an important role independently in a TV series invested by Guolan.

Hu Jing intends to wait for the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to be finished next year, so she pushes her to take over the position to support Da Mimi.

As for Liu Tianxian, they have booked Zhen Mi, the heroine of the annual masterpiece "Three Kingdoms: Guandu".

China Film and related capital think that "Three Kingdoms: Chibi" has no emotional drama, which is a small defect, so an emotional line is added to "Three Kingdoms: Guandu".

It is roughly a love triangle between Cao Pi, Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi.

Well, basically the two fathers are fighting in the front, and the two sons are fighting for women in the back.

Cao Xuan was very speechless about this plot, and complained a lot about Sanye Han, but Sanye Han and the director still felt that just fighting is too monotonous, and love elements are indispensable.

It is worth mentioning that the director of "Three Kingdoms: Guandu" approached Wu Baige.

Lao Mouzi was not free, and Chen Kexin formed a creative conflict with the film crew. In addition, he was busy working behind the scenes of films such as "Certificate of Fame", "Beauty of the River and Mountain", and "October Besieged City", so he simply resigned.

Therefore, among the three directors of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff", only one Huang Jianxin was left as the registered producer. Han Sanye found Wu Baige who had returned from Hollywood.

Fanxing gave up the master control, China Film Media behind the scenes mediated, and the specific responsibilities became Huayi, Bona and the newly established Galloping Horse. Except for a part of the investment share, Fanxing was mainly responsible for the Japanese distribution.

Looking at this lineup, Cao Xuan silently gave up a part of the share, but did not insist on objecting, after all, the heroine is his own artist.

However, Liu Tianxian reminded him that the water in this movie is too muddy and difficult to swim in, but Liu Tianxian still insisted.

In fact, it is also understandable that this opportunity is not simply to act in a movie.

This is the heroine of a multi-billion-dollar commercial production, and she has the success of the previous work "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff". If she gets it out, she can make the actresses from both sides of the strait, three places, and even Asia grab their heads.

Liu Tianxian's ability to win this role has already proved that she has the confidence to compete head-on with the seniors in the movie, which will greatly improve and consolidate her status. If Cao Xuan makes trouble, the first person to scold her is Jiang Yue, vice president of Fanxing.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan didn't stop him. He actually felt that Liu Tianxian, under the support of Fanxing, walked more smoothly than the original time and space, and it would be beneficial to stumble.

Anyway, she has thick blood, numerous stars and resources, so she can't hurt the root...

But this is going to be a pain for you. The heroine of "Three Kingdoms: Guandu" is probably jealous of Mr. Zhou and International Zhang, let alone her.

Liu Tianxian's participation in "Hurricane Rescue" can still be said to be a vase, and she starred in "October Besieged" to comfort the crowd.

But this time, she is a real heroine with a production of hundreds of millions. Although it is also a group drama, Zhen Mi has her own plot line and is undoubtedly the core of the crew.

Even if the mentality is as tough as a big honey, after a few months after "Tang Palace Lock Jade" became popular, she couldn't help breaking her defense again.

Why can't I catch up with her?

Not to mention big honey, even Fan Xiaopang felt a great sense of crisis this time.

She drew up a contract with Fanxing to go out on her own in 2012, leave Fanxing decently, and pass on the name of Fanxing's first sister, which she took over from Hu Jing, to the next one.

But if this trend continues, it's hard to say whether she will be able to survive until 2012 as Fanxing's No. [-] sister...
