Huayu started from the fairy sword

Of course, Jay Chou also has to admit that in 2009, his performance in movies and TV series was slightly weaker than Cao Jun.

As for the comparison in music, Jay Chou has never convinced anyone, even if his opponent is Cao Jun, he still believes in his own music, which is the most embarrassing.

Cao Jun didn't expect so much, and he didn't regard Jay Chou as his competitor. He just wants to shift his career focus from TV series to movies.

Whether he is an actor or a director, Cao Jun's minimum requirement for himself is to make good movies as much as possible, and he is determined not to make bad movies. This is his bottom line.

If there is no particularly good script and a particularly good production team, Cao Jun would rather give himself a long vacation than randomly accept plays.

However, Cao Jun is still an artist of Huayi, and he is not free. He still has to perform for the show, and he doesn't have much free time.

Therefore, before and after the entire Lantern Festival, Cao Jun held 8 concerts of his own in Xiangjiang, Taibei, Yangcheng and other cities.

September 3, evening.

After finishing the schedule of 8 consecutive concerts, Cao Jun dragged his tired body and returned to the capital.

As soon as Cao Jun got off the plane, he met the famous director Zheng Xiaolong in the box of the Beijing Hotel.

It is worth mentioning that Zheng Xiaolong is a famous director, screenwriter, and producer in the Mainland, and enjoys a very high influence in the Beijing circle.

As early as 1990, he served as a producer in the emotional drama "Longing", and later directed many classic film and television dramas such as "Beijing People in New York" and "Golden Wedding".
This time Zheng Xiaolong and Cao Jun met mainly for the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to discuss cooperation matters.

Cao Jun's idea is also very simple. When he met Zheng Xiaolong this time, he also wanted to invite Zheng Xiaolong to be the director of the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

And Zheng Xiaolong is also very interested in the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and he also expressed his intention to direct in front of Cao Jun.

However, Zheng Xiaolong hopes that Cao Jun, the producer, can take the initiative to give up the power and leave the cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to himself to choose.

Zheng Xiaolong and Cao Jun are both professionals. They both firmly believe that the casting of actors should start from the role, and they both want to focus on the cast of actors.

Because Cao Jun and Zheng Xiaolong are both very strong, and neither of them wants to admit defeat on this point, the cooperation in this drama has not been discussed.

For the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Cao Jun has always had his own ideas about the choice of actors and roles.

For example, the heroine Zhen Huan, Cao Jun has always wanted to invite Sun Li to play, of course, he does not exclude other actresses with good looks and strength.

But for the sake of stability, Cao Jun is still more inclined to choose Sun Li to play the role of Zhen Huan.

As for Concubine Hua, the supporting actress, Cao Jun had always had two castings in his mind, one was his old friend Jiang Xin, and the other was Hao Lei.

Although in Cao Jun's impression, Concubine Hua played by Jiang Xin is a classic, but with Hao Lei's appearance and acting skills, there is absolutely no problem in playing the role of Concubine Hua well, and she may even surpass Jiang Xin.

But on the other hand, Cao Jun felt that Jiang Xin was a bit sorry for giving the role of Concubine Hua to Hao Lei.

……

In short, Cao Jun has always had his own ideas about the cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". He is worried that the actors selected by Zheng Xiaolong will deviate greatly from his own choice.

The next day, afternoon.

Cao Jun and Hao Lei showed up in a low-key manner and made an appointment to meet at a friend's cafe.

In the capital city in March, when it was warm and cold, Hao Lei wore a windbreaker and only light makeup on her face, but she was still beautiful and charming.

Compared with the Hao Lei I saw on TV a few years ago, Hao Lei at this time is much plump and haggard.

However, even after years and trials, Hao Lei, who sat opposite Cao Jun, was still a beautiful woman.

After sitting down, Hao Lei didn't have too much nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I read the script, I personally like it very much,"

Cao Jun smiled and nodded, and asked, "Then do you have a favorite character?"

Hao Lei thought for a while and said, "It's all very good. Many characters are portrayed with flesh and blood, which is very different from ordinary Gongdou dramas."

Cao Jun took advantage of the situation and said, "Does that make you interested in playing the role of Concubine Hua?"

Hao Lei asked back: "Tell me first, who will play the role of Zhen Huan?"

Cao Jun did not hide it from Hao Lei, and said bluntly: "Sun Li,"

Hearing Cao Jun mention Sun Li's name, Hao Lei looked at Cao Jun in disbelief and asked, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Cao Jun denied: "No, I can assure you that I choose the actor I think is suitable from the perspective of the role,"

"There are many people who can play the role of Zhen Huan, but the role of Concubine Hua is none other than you!"

Hao Lei was not fooled, and asked instead: "Then why did you choose her to play Zhen Huan, why didn't you invite other actresses? Don't we have other actresses in Huaguo Mainland?"

Cao Jun said slowly: "Of course not. When I choose actors, I never care about the personal grievances between actors. I only choose actors that I think are suitable."

"I chose Sun Li to play Zhen Huan because I think she is suitable for the role of Zhen Huan. In the same way, I invited you to play Concubine Hua because I think you are suitable for the role of Concubine Hua. I also believe that you have the strength to bring us surprises... ..."

After listening to Cao Jun's long speech, Hao Lei's mood eased a little, she was not as excited as at the beginning, and her heart calmed down a lot.

Cao Jun saw that there was a play, and then said: "Frankly speaking, if the role of Concubine Hua is played well, she may be better than Zhen Huan."

"Of course, until now, I'm not sure whether Sun Li is the final actor of Zhen Huan. If you reject the play "The Legend of Zhen Huan" because of Sun Li, I will only feel it is a pity, but I I can also understand your thoughts and respect your choices..."

Seeing Cao Jun's sincere expression, Hao Lei didn't make a decision right away, because she personally liked Concubine Hua very much, and she also felt that Cao Jun's analysis made sense.

Hao Lei sighed, unable to make up her mind for a while, and said, "Let me go back and think about it. When I think it over, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Cao Jun thought to himself that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is still in the preparatory stage, and it won't be launched so soon. If she agrees, let her act. If she doesn't agree, leave this opportunity to Jiang Xin.

Thinking of this, Cao Jun said straightforwardly: "Okay, it's settled like this, tell me as soon as you think about it, and I can arrange it better."
