Chapter 208 Secret Garden
  "Of course, if Zhou Xun is willing, he can play a supporting role in it."

Han Sanping was not aggressive, but after changing his tone, he made another suggestion.

Wang Zhonglei fell into silence when he heard this.

He knew in his heart that since Han Sanping took the initiative to call and said that he would turn the script in Wang Shu's hands into a large-scale production with a strong cast.

Then, Zhou Xun will definitely not be able to play the heroine.

For example, in "The Night Banquet", if Zhou Xun was the heroine, then Zhang Ziyi would definitely not be willing to play the role of Zhou Xun.

In order to match Zhou Xun, the supporting role can only be found by actors with a lower status than Zhou Xun.

In this case, the cast will inevitably be greatly reduced.

However, Zhou Xun is an artist from Huayi.

If he can star in this movie, it will be of great benefit to both Zhou Xun and Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei was unwilling to give in.

He said: "Director Han, this matter has been agreed with Director Wang before. I'm afraid it won't be good to change it again, right?"

"I know." Han Sanping answered with a smile, "So didn't I call to discuss with you?"

When Wang Zhonglei heard this, he immediately sneered in his heart.

For this kind of thing, we don’t even set a table for a banquet, we just make phone calls.

Ha ha.

This is completely ignoring him!
  Hua Yi has come so far, and the two Wang brothers have also accumulated quite a lot of connections.

And this is why Wang Zhonglei dared to decline.

But Wang Zhonglei also knew that Han Sanping had promised to make the script in Wang Shu's hands bigger.

If Hua Yi still had the wisdom to let Zhou Xun give in, then it would not offend Han Sanping alone, but the entire China Film Group.

Because "Space Traveler" has proven Wang Shu's strength, Han Sanping wanted to make Wang Shu's script bigger. It was also for China Film's interests.

If Huayi stands in the way, it will harm China Film's interests.

This is completely different from just offending Han Sanping!

The two chatted about the matter for a while and then hung up.

No one knows what they talked about, but Wang Zhonglei was very unhappy after hanging up the phone.

10 month 6 day.

In the studio of Beijing Film Studio, Wang Shu's new drama "Secret Garden" starts filming.

The main creative actors Sun Li, Liu Yan, Jiang Xin, Bao Jianfeng, etc. all came.

After Wang Shu arrived at the scene, the entire crew and actors were all complimenting "Time Traveler" on its success.

When Bao Jianfeng and others saw Wang Shu, they also took the initiative to say hello with compliments and enthusiasm.

He graduated from Baojianfeng Magic City Drama Academy and debuted in 1996. He has starred in many TV series, most of the time as the leading actor.

In 2002, the idol drama "18-year-old Sky" in which he starred was broadcast and became popular all over the country.

According to this status, it stands to reason that he would not audition for roles in idol dramas.

However, whether there will be an audition depends on whose crew it is.

In 2007, the Qiong Yao drama "Another Dream" was broadcast, in which Bao Jianfeng played the second male lead.

This is enough to explain everything.

After engaging in some feudal and superstitious power-on ceremonies, the next step was the delightful power-on banquet.

Since Wang Shu had a lot of things to do, he just briefly participated in the opening banquet and then left first.

Sun Li, Liu Yan, and even Jiang Xin all wanted to say something to Wang Shu, but Wang Shu kept acting in a hurry, so he had no choice but to say nothing. As for the idol drama "Secret Garden", it mainly tells the story of a couple who first met due to a misunderstanding on the set, and then accidentally exchanged souls, unfolding a fantasy and beautiful love story.

It subverts the routines of traditional Korean dramas and spoofs classic fairy tales.

Moreover, the second female lead and the second male lead love each other from the beginning to the end, changing the setting that has always been a stumbling block for the male and female protagonists in the past. The Korean media described it as "the triangle relationship routine that has been a magic weapon for ratings for decades has been broken."

The play also quotes plots from fairy tales such as "The Mermaid Princess" and "Alice in Wonderland".

This idol drama is a Korean drama where the Cinderella equipment in the Korean drama has been upgraded again after the Korean audience was tired of the cliche plots such as "contract marriage" and "cohabiting close friends". The noble son and the poor girl through "soul exchange" The way to compose a love song.

"Secret Garden" presented the breakthrough performance of "men and women cross-dressing" for the first time, turning the idol drama that has always been innocent and romantic into a hilarious drama.

After it was broadcast in South Korea that year, its ratings reached as high as 31.4%. It was the best TV series at the 2011 Baeksang Arts Awards and the winning TV series at the 2011 Korean Drama Awards.

It can be said that it almost swept all major TV awards in South Korea that year.

Although this TV series has not been broadcast in the mainland, there are investors in the mainland who have invested in the Mandarin version.

In "Secret Garden", souls are exchanged in modern cities, and men and women are reversed. This is something that has never been seen in China.

This alone is an attractive gimmick.

Obviously, in the eyes of others, this is another idol drama with Wang Shu's "characteristics".

"My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox", the heroine is a fox fairy.

In "My Love from the Star", the male protagonist is an alien.

In the current "Secret Garden", the souls of men and women are exchanged.

In comparison, only "The Witch in Suit" starring Zhou Xun is more normal.

In the eyes of many people, "Witch in Suit" is normal because of Zhou Xun's celebrity status.

Compared with the heroines of several other idol dramas, Wang Shu stopped working with Zhou Xun because of her popularity!

Back at the company, Wang Shu learned yesterday's box office data immediately.

1700W.

Compared with the 10W on October 4, it can be said to be a big discount.

Wang Shu had expected this, but secretly said it was a pity and did not have too many emotions.

He knew in his heart that the box office of more than 20 million in the past few days was due to the effect of the publicity.

The publicity was well done, so many people went to the cinema to buy tickets in the past few days.

After this wave of heat passes, it will return to normal and then slowly exhaust its potential.

1700W today, 1400 tomorrow, he is not surprised.

You know, the box office of "Baby Project" on the first day after its release was only over 700 million.

Even if the box office of "Time Traveler" drops from more than 1400 million to million, it is still an extremely terrifying figure.

"You can tell a thousand things, but you still don't have enough foundation."

Wang Shu knew in his heart that the main reason why the box office of "Space Traveler" declined so much was that his reputation was not enough to fool more viewers into buying tickets in the cinema.

Unless he makes more films and all of them are classics, it is impossible for a new director to accumulate enough reputation in a short period of time.

In 2006, the network was still 2G, which was not the time when the network would be developed more than ten years later.

It has only been two years since Wang Shu debuted in 2004. With the speed of 2G network transmission and the popularity of push-button mobile phones, it is far from possible for him to accumulate enough in this time to make the audience listen to his name. Movie theaters have a reputation for buying tickets and contributing to the box office.

Even if he produced works such as "Buried Alive" and "The Tuner", it was still far from enough.

It can be said that a large number of people in the country now have no idea who he is.
