China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 208 Different treatment of drama

The theme of this dinner was to talk about a TV series, Midnight Sing, a TV series written, directed and starred by Huang Lei.

It is said that it is self-written, directed and acted, but in fact, "Singing in the Midnight" is a very mature story. Three versions of the movie have been made, and Huang Lei also acted in one of them.

This adaptation into a TV series is actually just cooking up leftovers.

In the previous life of this drama, Alyssa Chia was cast to play the heroine Tong Ruofan, but when the crew was ready to start filming, Alyssa Chia became pregnant, and Xu Qianyuan was finally cast.

So Huang Lei followed his inertia and found Jia Jingwen and asked her to play Tong Ruofan.

After receiving Huang Lei's invitation, Jia Jingwen was a little tempted, but couldn't make up her mind.

Seeing that the other male lead of the drama, Song Danping, had not yet been cast, she suggested that Zhang Nanyi should be cast.

When Huang Lei heard this, of course he readily agreed. Zhang Nanyi is now the most popular person in the domestic TV drama circle, and TV stations are rushing to buy TV dramas in which he has participated.

Of course, Zhang Nanyi is not interested in this TV series. He also told Jia Jingwen clearly that Jia Jingwen would like to co-operate in a drama with Zhang Nanyi. She thinks Huang Lei has good eloquence and maybe he can do it. I persuaded Zhang Nanyi to participate in the show, so I didn't give up and paid the price of finding another way to let Zhang Nanyi attend the dinner.

Zhang Nanyi can only say that Jia Jingwen is still naive. The producer of Midnight Singing is Huayi and the producer is Cai Yinong. It is the first collaboration between Huayi and Tangren.

The two companies later co-produced Young General Yang.

For these two companies, Zhang Nanyi would not take the role, not to mention that Zhang Nanyi didn't like the vulgar story of singing in the middle of the night.

But he was still very polite on the surface.

"Hello, Teacher Huang, hello, Teacher Wang..."

Zhang Nanyi greeted Huang Lei and the others warmly, and then exchanged pleasantries.

I don't have any other feelings, but I feel that Huang Lei's wife Sun Li is really quite interesting.

She doesn't look very stunning at first glance, but she has a wifely style. She has a sweet and well-behaved gentle temperament, which is in line with the classical Chinese aesthetics of a good wife.

People with Cao's attributes will be more excited after reading it.

This cooperation between Huayi and Tang Ren is the result of the matchmaking between Huang Lei and Sun Li. One of the couple is from Beijing and the other is from Tang Ren.

He has connections in the Beijing Circle and the Shanghai Clan, plus Huang Lei and He Jiong are good friends, there are people in the Hunan Clan, and they are backed by the Yanjing School, so they have some energy.

Sun Li shook hands lightly with Zhang Nanyi, greeted them politely, and smiled politely.

In comparison, Liu Xuan looks tougher. Although his face is delicate, his temperament is slightly sharp. After all, he is an Olympic champion and a Hunan girl.

After shaking hands, she said cheerfully: "I like your Li Xiaoyao very much. He is handsome and unrestrained. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."

"It is an honor for me to cooperate with the Olympic champion." Zhang Nanyi responded politely, and then sat down at Huang Lei's greeting.

After everyone sat down, Huang Lei said: "The food in this restaurant is very good. You don't have to order when you come in. You just make whatever ingredients are available that day.

Sister Li and I come here to eat occasionally, and every time we come there are surprises. "

Wang Jinsong and Huang Lei were old classmates. Hearing this, he said, "How delicious is it? Is it better than the food you cook?"

Huang Lei said with a smile: "What I cook is home cooking, which is just a hobby. It can't be compared with a professional chef. I heard that Nan Yi also likes cooking. If you have the opportunity, we can come to my house and communicate together."

Huang Lei may have been a teacher for a long time, so he has a habit of speaking a bit like a dad, but he is very good at talking and is relatively comfortable to communicate with.

Zhang Nan smiled and said politely: "I have long heard that Teacher Huang is an excellent cook. I must try Teacher Huang's cooking skills when I have time."

Zhang Nan had never tasted Huang Lei's cooking skills, so he didn't know.

However, he personally guessed that Huang Lei's cooking skills may be similar to Li Xiaoran's, that is, the level of delicious home-cooked food. If the dishes are more exquisite, Huang Lei may not be as good as Li Xiaoran.

Just starting from Where Are We Going, Dad, Huang Lei established the character of Huang Xiaochu, and in Longing for Life, he strengthened this character, so that many people think he is good at cooking.

It’s similar to Xie Tingfeng’s Chef Xie, both are marketing routines.

After the food was served, Huang Lei opened a bottle of liquor, and Zhang Nanyi said, "Sister Wen doesn't drink wine. You can drive my car to see me off later."

Jia Jingwen nodded immediately.

Huang Lei simply said: "The three ladies don't drink, they drink some juice.

We didn’t drink much at noon. The three of us finished the bottle of white wine and were just tipsy. "

As they drank and drank, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became better. Huang Lei then said: "Nan Yi, you should know that director Cheng Kaige is filming the epic blockbuster "The Promise", right?"

Of course Zhang Nanyi knew about the shit-eating bad movie The Promise. He smiled and replied: "Then I must know. The Promise seems to have been cast in March and started filming in early April. It has been reported in the news."

When the crew of The Promise entered Hengdian, the crew of The Deer and the Cauldron happened to be in Haining, so they didn't run into each other.

But when Zhang Nanyi was still filming in Hengdian, the renovation of the Qin Palace began, and Hengdian Film and Television City's promotion of Wuji's filming in Hengdian was also very fierce.The film and television city is full of slogans and advertisements.

Zhang Nanyi can't even think about it.

A great director like Cheng Kaige has great reputation. It is said that Hengdian Film and Television City built the Qin Palace to support Cheng Kaige in filming the movie "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin".

This time filming Wuji, Hengdian and Cheng Kaige worked together to build another palace in the square of the Qin Palace, which can be regarded as the inner city of the Qin Palace.

Brother Kaizi’s cards are really full.

Huang Lei took a sip of wine and sighed: "Director Kaige is really awesome. This time Wuji invested 3 million and invited stars from China, Japan and Korea to shoot.

Aiming at the entire East Asian market.

I went to visit the crew a few days ago, and the scene was definitely not inferior to that of director Zhang Yimou's "Hero". It is another exciting commercial blockbuster. "

The investment of 3 million yuan is claimed and blown out. The exact amount is unknown, but it will be no less.

Compared with Heroes, The Promise is not up to par in terms of cast, not to mention the investment.

One Li Lianjie outshone the entire cast of The Promise, not to mention Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi, Liang Chaowei and others.

Huang Lei was a bit bragging, and Wang Jinsong praised it professionally. He immediately agreed: "Such a good movie, I really envy Xie Tingfeng and Liu Ye for being able to participate in it."

Huang Lei drank wine, not much on his face, but his eyes were a little red. He lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Actually, Xie Tingfeng's starring position is not stable.

Sister Chen Hong wants to change someone. "

Huang Lei glanced at Zhang Nanyi again and continued: "Why you want to change people, it's not convenient to say, but if you want to participate in the show, Nanyi, I can help you introduce him.

Director Clicquot and I are very good friends.

If you are willing, you might be able to take Xie Tingfeng's place and play the role of Wu Huan. "

Huang Lei became popular in the early days because, in addition to his good appearance and conforming to the aesthetic trends of the time, he also became popular by starring in Cheng Kaige's movie "Walking and Singing".

If he is a woman, she is from "Miss Cheng".

He has always had a good relationship with Cheng Kaige, and since Zhang Nanyi is currently popular and is more popular than Xie Tingfeng, it would be no problem for him to introduce him.

This is Huang Lei's cleverness. He wanted Zhang Nanyi to star in Midnight Singer, but he didn't even mention his own TV series. Instead, he first introduced Zhang Nanyi to the role of Wuji.

As long as Zhang Nanyi is interested and has Huang Lei introduce him, regardless of whether he is selected or not, he still owes Huang Lei a favor, and it will be much easier to talk about the midnight singing later.

Without opening your eyes, Wuji was one of the best resources in the entertainment industry in 2004.

It is directed by Cheng Kaige and has an investment of 3 million yuan. It stars actors from China, Japan and Korea. The main investor behind it is Huaying, as well as some foreign investors. The producer is Han Sanpin.

Which Chinese actor wouldn't want to star in a movie like this?
Therefore, Huang Lei was very confident. He felt that Zhang Nanyi would definitely be attracted by him. His successful introduction this time could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only did Zhang Nanyi owe a favor to star in Midnight Singer, but he also sold well to Cheng Kaige and Chen Hong, and helped them solve Xie Tingfeng's problem.

Huang Lei said that Chen Hong wanted to replace Xie Tingfeng, and Zhang Nanyi could more or less guess the reason. It was simply that Xie Tingfeng was not as easy to control as Liu Ye, and the two had conflicts.

The main reason is that Xie Tingfeng wants to film the film. He has signed a contract with the crew of Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque. The filming of this drama is expected to start in June, and Wuji's filming plan is until September. Xie Tingfeng's film is certain.

Chen Hong is also used to being domineering, and she won't accept the drama.But from the perspective of Hong Kong actors, filming should not be too normal. They often spend time in crew A in the morning, crew B in the afternoon, and crew C in the evening. This is normal.

Therefore, Chen Hong and Xie Tingfeng have different concepts, and conflicts are inevitable.

Moreover, the reason why Cheng Kaige chose Xie Tingfeng and Cecilia Cheung as the starring roles was clearly to use their relationship scandals to promote the movie. It would be better if Wang Fei could participate.

However, Xie Tingfeng did not cooperate. At this time, Zhang Bozhi apparently had a foreign boyfriend, and Xie Tingfeng did not want to hype up the relationship.

Later, during the movie promotion, he was even absent, which led Chen Hong to threaten to ban Xie Tingfeng, which caused a big fuss.

Finally, under the mediation of the boss, the two parties reconciled.

Therefore, it depends on the actors when it comes to cheating. When Yang Mi cheated on the show, she was scolded by Chen Hong, and he also used his power to make Yang Mi, a big girl from Beijing, unable to survive in the Beijing circle. In the end, for film resources , choose to join the port circle.

Xie Tingfeng also participated in the drama, but there was no news in the media, and Chen Hong did not publicize it either.

The audience had no idea that when Xie Tingfeng was filming Wuji, he was still filming Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque, and even beating people.

It's all a drama, and the treatment is very different.

Yang Mi must have seen many actors cheating on scenes, so when she was bullied by Chen Hong because of cheating, she didn't feel that she was at fault.

You can only talk about it, but you still have to talk about power.
