Huayu started from the fairy sword

Although compared with Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang, Cao Jun's age and weight are still slightly younger, but two consecutive self-directed and self-acted films have earned hundreds of millions of box office, which can be regarded as the younger generation The best of directors.

Even for Ning Hao, who achieved great success with the movie "Crazy Stone", the box office of his movie "Crazy Racing" is only a little over 1 million points, which is far inferior to that of Cao Jun's "On the Journey". 2.5 million box office.

After drinking and eating, Cao Jun asked with great interest, "Jingjing, do you have any good actor recommendations for the leading actor and actress?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Shuai looked at Cao Jun in surprise, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Cao Jun thought to himself, I finally found a good book for you. If you don't act, won't you be taking advantage of others?
Therefore, in Yong Shuai's view, Cao Jun's questioning of Bao Jingjing was purely superfluous.

However, when Cao Jun asked about her role positioning, Bao Jingjing still thought about it seriously before saying frankly: "Director Cao, let me tell you the truth, Huang Xiaoxian is a type of girl I particularly like. I am far from it."

"So, as for the heroine, I have no idea for now."

The character that Bao Jingjing really created based on himself as a template is actually Wang Xiaojian.

Thinking of this, Bao Jingjing joked with Cao Jun and Zong Shuai: "However, you can try to rely on Wang Xiaojian's style in the article."

"Article? Which article?" Zong Shuai muttered, looking at Cao Jun.

Cao Jun said angrily, "It's Xiangnan from Struggle!"

Bao Jingjing echoed with a smile: "There is also Xiao Bei in "Snail House"!"

In order to let Zong Shuai know exactly who the article is, Cao Jun said solemnly: "It's the actor who is talking to Ma Yili about having a sister-brother relationship!"

Hearing what Cao Jun said, Zong Shuai finally remembered, and said disapprovingly: "It turned out to be that kid, I got it!"

"He, forget it, a TV guy, it's hard to take on big responsibilities!"

Before Cao Jun could answer, Zong Shuai continued, "Xiao Cao, if you ask me, it's better for you to play the role of Wang Xiaojian."

Bao Jingjing quit, and said bluntly: "I don't think so, Director Cao is too handsome and manly, not suitable for Wang Xiaojian's role."

It is worth mentioning that in the original work of "33 Days of Broken Relationship", Wang Xiaojian's original name is Wang Yiyang. Wang Xiaojian looks very motherly, talks softly, keeps applying lipstick, and seems to have unknown sexual orientation.

Of course, Wang Xiaojian just looks like a girl, but he is definitely a man when he should be a man. When he should make a move, he will help the heroine Xiaoxian take revenge on her cheating ex-boyfriend... After the bumps and bumps between the two, A pair of happy lovers love each other faintly.

Judging from Wang Xiaojian's image, it is reasonable for Bao Jingjing to object to Cao Jun playing this role. It is true that Cao Jun's image does not match the character's temperament.

But Zong Shuai felt that Cao Jun could try different types of roles through the drama "33 Days of Broken Relationship", and bravely break through himself on the road of actor.

Cao Jun thought about it for a while. After he finished filming the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", he hadn't acted much for almost a year. It is also a good idea to challenge a character with a different personality from himself.

As for Bao Jingjing's opinion, as long as Cao Jun wants to act, he doesn't need to consider her feelings at all.

Because the film and television copyright of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" has been sold to Zong Shuai, Bao Jingjing has no right to make decisions about who will play the leading actor, so he can only make a symbolic suggestion.

After bidding farewell to Zong Shuai and Bao Jingjing, Cao Jun returned home feeling a little calmer.

In Cao Jun's view, the reason why the movie "33 Days of Broken Relationship" has such a high box office is not because of the good plot and quality of the movie, but because of the excellent marketing and schedule.

In Cao Jun's previous life, "33 Days of Broken Love" was released on November 2011, 11, and November 8, 2011, is also known as "Century Singles' Day".

The publicity and distribution team of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" launched a series of marketing around this "Singles' Day of the Century", which made the film gain great attention.

After Cao Jun cleared his mind, he decided to temporarily shelve the preparation plan for "33 Days of Broken Relationship", because he felt that shooting this movie did not require so much time, and he did not need to be in such a hurry to accompany him.

Even if it is filmed now, "33 Days of Broken Relationship" will have to wait until November 11 next year to release the concept of "Century Singles' Day".

Therefore, Cao Jun believes that the top priority now is to prepare for the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the project "33 Days of Broken Love" can be postponed.

So far, the main actors of the main roles in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have basically been determined.

For example, Sun Li plays the heroine Zhen Huan,

For example, Cheng Jianbin plays the leading actor Yongzheng,
For example, Jiang Xin plays the second female concubine Hua,

……

However, after this lineup was exposed on the Internet, it caused strong dissatisfaction among book fans.

Because the "emperor" in the play is a handsome man, and Cheng Jianbin is old and not good-looking enough, but Zheng Xiaolong and Cao Jun are unmoved and insist on letting him play the leading role.

In fact, it is right to think about it. When Zhen Huan entered the palace, the emperor should be in his 40s, and the actors are older and more reliable.

As for the role of queen, Liu Lianzi recommended Cai Shaofen to Cao Jun and Zheng Xiaolong.

It is worth mentioning that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was written by the author Liu Lianzi when she was in her third year of junior high school. At that time, another classic Gongdou drama "Golden Branch Desire" was on the air.

Influenced by the TV series "Golden Branch Desire", she wrote "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Liu Lianzi is a die-hard fan of Cai Shaofen, as can be seen from the name "Zhen Huan".

The origin of this name is that Cai Shaofen once filmed a TV series "Luo Shen". In the play, Cai Shaofen played the role of Zhen Mi, and the other villain was Guo Huan.

Therefore, Liu Lianzi took a character from each of the two names and became "Zhen Huan", but just to make a difference, she specially used another pronunciation of the word "Huan".

Regarding the role of queen, the first thing Zheng Xiaolong thought of was TVB actress Deng Cuiwen.

As a result, because Deng Cuiwen had chosen Qiong Yao's "Xin Huan Zhu Ge Ge" in advance, she had no schedule to participate in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", so she could only regret to miss it.

Later, Liu Lianzi recommended Cai Shaofen again. Zheng Xiaolong considered that Cai Shaofen's appearance and aura were not bad. During the audition, Cai Shaofen's performance was also very good, so he agreed.

For Zheng Xiaolong's casting, Cao Jun has no opinion, because it is indeed out of role considerations, and there is no selfishness.
