China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 298: New drama revealed, Yan Danchen wants to make progress! (Please subscribe!)
Fake news about Lin Xuan starring as Yang Guo is very popular on the Internet.

Netizens were divided into two groups, and they were quarreling with each other.

Lin Xuan has been diving, and Zhang Jizhong has never commented on the matter, allowing the incident to ferment.

He did not appear publicly and speak to reporters until early March.

"Producer Zhang, there are rumors on the Internet recently that director Lin Xuan will play Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Are the rumors true?"

"what?"

Zhang Jizhong looked shocked and his acting skills exploded: "Nonsense, I am the producer of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", how come I don't know about this?"

The reporter asked: "So this news is fake news?"

"Of course it's fake. Lin Xuan is an investor in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but he doesn't play any roles. He has his own drama to film."

"Director Lin has a new drama to shoot? Producer Zhang, can you tell us what type the new drama is?"

But for the slightest chance, they had to cooperate with him to continue the hype.

Soon, the matter aroused heated discussion again.

But if Lin Xuan doesn't act, then doesn't he have a chance?

He first determined that the type of new drama would be a criminal investigation drama.

Others believe that the schedules of the two dramas conflicted.

"As for the choice of Yang Guo, who does the crew plan to invite to participate?"

This matter has been written over and over again, but it is still popular up to now.

Who can play Yang Guo will have to wait until the crew holds an open audition before deciding. "

Li Ruotong, Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, Zhao Yanzi... He rubbed everyone he could.

Brother Xun is very domineering. After learning that he was being tricked, he immediately stood up and angrily criticized Zhang Jizhong.

As for the choice of Xiao Longnu.

Those who are bullied in the entertainment industry dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

Male celebrities in the entertainment industry took action immediately after hearing the news.

He directly stated publicly that the new drama is a modern criminal investigation drama, in which he plays the male lead, and the remaining roles are undecided.

After a while, he changed his mind and said that he would use new actors.

Everyone is discussing again why Lin Xuan refused to star.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and an unknown new drama were approved at almost the same time.

There are many other genre dramas left, such as criminal investigation dramas, spy dramas, idol dramas, science fiction dramas, etc.

If Lin Xuan plays Yang Guo, they will definitely not be able to compete with him.

Zhang Jizhong has never contacted them, but he spoke conclusively in an interview.

And Lin Xuan's new drama will be approved soon.

He has actually been thinking about this year’s new drama for a long time.

When the show is officially approved, the crew will release relevant information, and everyone is welcome to audition at that time.

After a while, he said that he would cooperate with Li Yapeng again.

…………

Lin Xuan's strength is crushing, and there is no need to heat up at all.

After a while it was said that Gu Tianle would be invited to play Yang Guo.

"The word invitation is not a good word. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a big production, and the investment amount is higher than "Dragon Movie".

A few days later, the script was approved.

If Lin Xuan doesn't play Yang Guo, then our quarrels these days will not be in vain.

In addition to costume martial arts dramas, after Lin Xuan's transformation, he filmed the Republic of China drama "The Golden Family", the anti-Japanese drama "Bright Sword", and the fairy tale drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Netizens who argued over the matter were dumbfounded.

"It's not convenient to disclose this, but you will know in a few days."

Lin Xuan had to film his own movie first, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" couldn't be delayed for too long, so he had no choice but to give up the role of Yang Guo.

Some people still believe that Lin Xuan has acted in too many Jin Yong dramas, and he refuses to act because he is afraid that the audience will be upset.

Lin Xuan Studio immediately issued an announcement announcing the official launch of the new drama.

The audience was confused by his tricks, because he would change his words every few days.

I have to say that Zhang Jizhong really understands the matter of hype.

Zhang Jizhong once again seized the opportunity to stir up popularity.

Two dramas that became popular before they were aired appeared at the same time, and the entertainment industry immediately became lively.

Zhang Jizhong completely abdicated all responsibility with one statement.

No special reason, I just like it.

Then search for a suitable drama in the system space.

The male protagonists of most criminal investigation dramas are relatively facial-looking.

Live an honest life, work conscientiously, be unsmiling, and be brave and fearless.

Lin Xuan didn't like this kind of character. He wanted to play a different policeman.

Just like Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword".

Before he came out, the image of the protagonist in anti-Japanese dramas was almost unchanged.

Firm in faith, loyal to the party, loving soldiers like sons, persevering and calm... he is almost the embodiment of perfection.

This is not to say that this type of character design is not good, but too many photos have been taken, and the audience has become tired of it.

At this time, Li Yunlong, who was full of foul language and full of problems, appeared in front of the audience.

This down-to-earth character broke the rigid facial makeup of the past and instantly gained the love of a large number of viewers.

In the same way, there are Zhou Weiguo in "Snow Leopard" and Jin Ge in "Battle Flag".

The protagonists of anti-Japanese dramas at that time were almost all members of our party, and their family conditions were not good.

The characters of Zhou Weiguo and Jin Ge are exactly the opposite.

They were born in the Kuomintang and their families were wealthy, and they all drank foreign ink and learned new tactics.

This kind of setting is refreshing, coupled with a reasonable plot and good acting skills, it is reasonable for the TV series to become popular.

Let’s talk about criminal investigation dramas.

Lin Xuan searched the system space for a long time and finally found a drama that he had watched before and liked very much.

"White Night Chase"!
This drama was very popular at the time. The two brothers who looked exactly the same worked together to solve the case. The setting of one person playing two roles was very novel, which made the almost cold Pan Yueming become famous overnight.

Netflix also bought the rights to the show, which is broadcast in more than 190 countries around the world.

It's a pity that this drama let itself go in the later stage, and the plot started to wander and ended unfinished, and the subsequent plot could not be rounded out.

Therefore, the second part has not been released, which has become a regret in the hearts of countless viewers.

After Lin Xuan bought the script, he first spent points to modify it.

"White Night" was filmed in 16, and many of the "high technologies" in the play are things that don't exist today.

In addition, he also completed the plot of the final case so as not to disappoint the audience.

The revised script was condensed from 32 episodes to 30 episodes, with a compact plot and climaxes, a bit like an American drama.

"White Night Chase" is fully invested, produced and distributed by "Lin Xuan Studio".

CCTV originally wanted to participate, but backed out as soon as they saw the script.

There are many bloody scenes in the play, and Lin Xuan spent a lot of effort to get the relationship through and get the script approved.

In recent years, the review of scripts has been very tolerant. Bloody, violent, thrilling, and scary are not issues. Some scenes can even be viewed as horror movies.

Because of this, many classic TV series have emerged over the years.

But as the big brother and the weather vane, CCTV’s pockets are gradually tightening.

All dramas with the above labels cannot be broadcast on CCTV and can only be broadcast on provincial or local channels.

It has the potential to appear in star dramas and online dramas in the future.

Since it cannot be broadcast on CCTV, there is no need for Lin Xuan to cooperate with it.

The news of the project of "White Night" gradually spread.

People in the industry became agitated again and started looking for connections to get information about the show.

Fans and netizens are no longer surprised that Lin Xuan changed the track again.

Now Lin Xuan is like a scumbag. Every time he plays one type of drama, he will change to another type in the next one.

Republic of China dramas, anti-Japanese dramas, fairy tale dramas, and then criminal investigation dramas.

Even if he acts in a children's drama next year, the audience probably won't be surprised.

Speaking of children's dramas, he remembered something.

When chatting with Director Wu at CCTV, I learned that CCTV is really going to make a children's drama this year. The script is very familiar, it's called "Happy Planet".

The producer of "White Night" is still Chen Hong.

The crew chiefs, including cameramen, set management, makeup, and location workers, are also selected from the studio’s exclusive team.

As for the actors...

The night the company announced the project, Yan Danchen came to visit.

"They both went to Berlin with you, and I didn't gain anything from them."

"You are included in the Coca-Cola advertisement, and the Mercedes-Benz advertisement also agreed to your request."

Advertisements for Mercedes-Benz cars should highlight business and family elements.

In other words, Lin Xuan must be given a wife.

Naturally, he recommended Yan Danchen, who had the right temperament and enough celebrity status. Mercedes-Benz reviewed and approved it.

"This is an advertisement, not an endorsement. No, the heroine of this drama must be given to me."

Yan Danchen clung to him like a koala, holding on to him if he didn't agree.

"Okay, okay, you come down and read the script first before you talk about it."

Seeing Lin Xuan relent, she smiled and kissed him, then jumped off and read the script carefully.

There are five main characters in the play.

The twins Guan Hongfeng, the former criminal police captain, and Guan Hongyu, the murder suspect, are played by Lin Xuan.

The current criminal police captain Zhou Xun, the actor has not yet been decided.

Lin Xuan plans to find an actor with excellent acting skills and a cold temperament.

The female lead is Zhou Shutong, a graduate of the police academy, Guan Hongfeng’s follower and little crush.

Lin Xuan plans to find a younger new actor.

There is no need to perform deliberately, the young and immature feeling comes out.

The second female lead, Gao Yanan, is a criminal police forensic scientist and Guan Hongyu’s girlfriend.

If Yan Danchen wants to act, give it to her. If she doesn't want to act, let her audition publicly.

As for the remaining roles, there are very few roles, and Lin Xuan is prepared to use them as favors.

More than an hour later, Yan Danchen finally finished reading the script.

"call……"

She let out a long breath and said excitedly: "The script is very exciting. I haven't had this pleasure of reading it in one sitting for a long time."

Lin Xuan handed over a cup of tea: "How's it going? Are you ready to star?"

She took the tea cup and took a sip: "The first female lead is a student, I am not suitable, and the second female lead has too few roles."

Lin Xuan laughed and said: "This drama has a male protagonist, and the scenes are mainly concentrated on the two detective captains. The female characters don't have many scenes."

"Well, let me think about it."

Among the three, Yan Danchen's career development has gradually failed to keep up with the other two.

Although she is very beautiful, she is not a top beauty after all, and her facial lines are too soft and not very recognizable. She is not a big-screen high-end face like Zhang Ziyi.

The most important thing about acting is that it is better than the best and better than the worst.

Relying on Lin Xuan's connections and the fans and popularity she had accumulated in the past, although she could play the female lead, she could not join a big crew.

On the other hand, Fan Xiaopang and Gao Yuanyuan, one is charming and stunning, the other has outstanding temperament.

Their facial shapes can hold up on both the small screen and the big screen.

The future development prospects are broad, and the only thing that can limit them is acting skills, resources, and luck.

…………

Late at night, the two of them lay quietly on the bed.

Yan Danchen suddenly turned over and hugged him.

"Tell me, am I not suitable for the entertainment industry?"

Lin Xuan knew that she was starting to have random thoughts again, so he squeezed her hand tightly.

"You are so beautiful, how could you not be suitable?"

“But I have been stuck in the same place for the past two years, my acting skills have not improved much, and my popularity has not skyrocketed.

Although I have filmed so many movies, the most representative role was Di Ruyan two years ago. "

Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment and explained: "You are all too obsessed with being a star. No matter whether the role is suitable or not, as long as it is the female lead, you will play it, and vice versa.

As everyone knows, playing a hundred heroines who are forgotten after watching it is not as good as a supporting actress who can be remembered by the audience.

Another issue is your acting skills. You also said that your acting skills have been stuck in the same place in the past two years, and you are always acting according to formulas.

Now that you know what the problem is, I haven't seen you working on your acting skills. "

After listening to Lin Xuan's words, Yan Danchen was silent for a long time.

"I'll contact the school teacher tomorrow and take the postgraduate entrance examination in the second half of the year."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Graduate studies are okay, but acting requires theory combined with practice."

"Stop being pretentious, you can arrange anything for me. As long as it can improve your acting skills, I will listen to you in everything."

"Listen to me in everything..."

Lin Xuan put his hand in.

Snapped!
Yan Danchen slapped him: "Don't think blindly, I'm talking about acting skills."

"Oh, let me think about it. You still need to study for graduate school, and theoretical knowledge is very important.

We have to continue filming movies, and shoot two movies every year to ensure a certain amount of exposure.

I will decide the role, no matter how big or small, you can't have any opinions. "

"No problem. Do I still want to play the second female lead, Gao Yanan?"

"Act! This role doesn't have many roles. When you are on the set, pay attention to the performances of other actors.

At that time, the crew will hire professional acting teachers, and you will also come to take classes. "

"Okay, it's all up to you."

…………

The next morning, Yan Danchen returned to his alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, and asked his teacher about taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

After lunch, the courtyard became lively.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Jinhua, Chen Hong, and Lin Xuan's friends in the circle came to visit one after another.

Wang Zhongjun wanted to invest in "White Night", but Lin Xuan declined directly.

I don’t want investment from CCTV, so why should I want investment from Huayi?

Wang Zhongjun also mentioned it casually. He knew very well that Lin Xuan definitely didn't want his investment.

In a business that is 100% profitable, which fool would be willing to give up profits to others.

Unless the other party has unique advantages.

CCTV has TV signals covering the whole country and even overseas. What does Huayi have?
money!
Haha, what Lin Xuan lacks most now is money.

"The Dark Side"'s mainland box office, Hong Kong and Taiwan box office, Japanese and Korean box office, overseas copyright income, and Blu-ray collector's edition DVD income.

Adding all types of income together, the net income after tax is expected to exceed 2 million.

He directly kills most listed companies, and Huayi doesn't like Huayi's money.

After the investment was rejected, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Jinhua talked to him about the role.

The plot synopsis and main characters of "White Night" have been released.

The setting of one person playing two roles immediately aroused heated discussion. Most of the audience said that the setting was very novel and very interesting.

The new drama became a hit before it was aired, making many stars in the industry eager to watch it.

They came here just for the roles this time and wanted to recommend artists from Huayi.

But Lin Xuan looked at him and didn't agree.

Whoever stars in his drama will be popular, so he must not be given easily.

However, Lin Xuan still revealed his casting requirements,

Detective Captain Zhou Xun is looking for a capable actor with a tough-guy temperament.

The little follower Zhou Shutong is looking for a new actor, and what he wants is young and immature.

The two wrote down Lin Xuan's request.

When I returned to the company in the afternoon, I started looking through Huayi's roster to find suitable actors.

There are more than 100 Huayi artists, many of whom Wang Zhongjun does not know.
