China Entertainment 1997

In Mongolia Province, on the hillside of a certain grassland

Zhou Jie, dressed in flashy costumes, anxiously chased Dong Xuan in costume. The two were so entangled that it took two hours of filming to finish the awkward and coaxing scene between Yang Kang and Mu Nianci.

"No problem, let's take a break and move on."

The director shouted, and Dong Xuan and the two came out of the state of the scene. The assistant next to them hugged a military coat and immediately wrapped it around Dong Xuan, and also stuffed a hot water bottle in his hand.

It is still the first month of the year and the weather is still cold. Although the costumes in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have two or three layers, they are all single-layered to ensure the body shape effect.

It also has a warmth-keeping effect, but it can only be guaranteed in spring and autumn, and it can't withstand the cold winter.

They had been filming for nearly two hours at a stretch with almost no rest. Zhou Jie and Dong Xuan were both freezing and their faces were a little pale.

Fortunately, the following scenes are all about Master Lingzhi, Peng Lianhu, and Sha Tongtian, so the two of them can take a break.

Dong Xuan was wrapped in a military coat and huddled in the wind shelter. Zhou Jie drank a cup of hot water and jumped around to keep warm.

This time filming for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was a big test for Dong Xuan.

Previously, I was on the set of "Golden Pink Family". The boss and the landlady were all there. The logistics support was not great, but it was definitely above the standard. There were a lot of indoor scenes, and the shooting environment was quite comfortable.

But when "Legend of the Condor Heroes" came along, the environment and shooting difficulty suddenly increased.

It's okay to be colder, as long as the freezing time is not too severe, Dong Xuan, who is from the Northeast, can actually bear the cold better than Zhou Jie.

Mainly food and accommodation. Although Zhang Dabeard is not too stingy, he can do business independently and is much more prudent than when he was at CCTV.

And due to the multi-party investment in the crew, there is a mixed bag of good and bad people, and many people have their hands in many aspects.

Last year, there was an incident where the entire crew had diarrhea after eating box lunches, and almost couldn't start work the next day.

According to the doctor who called in, if it is more serious, it can be regarded as food poisoning...

Although the crew's diet has improved since then, it is only hygienic and the taste and ingredients are subject to different opinions.

In fact, Dong Xuan doesn't particularly care about material conditions alone. After all, the other leading actors receive similar treatment. If she has the money to start a small business on her own, that's another matter.

What really made Dong Xuan feel the gap was the treatment of the crew.

In "Jin Fen Family", since Dong Xuan is a newcomer, and she is the heroine + her own artist, although the pressure is high, the relevant parties will take care of her deliberately, and the director will give her special tutoring lessons from time to time.

Cao Xuan would sometimes tell her plays in person, and of course Boss Hu would accompany him.

But on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", no one gave her any special treatment.

Not at all, but after all, she is also the second female lead and a newcomer, so she is definitely not as good as "The Family".

The soft-boiled man, Mr. Zhou, and Zhou Jie are all top or near top names. Dong Xuan, a newcomer, is just a transparent person in front of a few people.

Zhang Dabeard and the director were somewhat polite to the others, but Dong Xuan, because of Cao Xuan's face, although she couldn't say she was scolding, she would severely reprimand him if the filming was not good.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this in itself. Filming is work, not a way for actors to live a good life.

However, I was used to the relatively harmonious crew atmosphere and strong logistical support in "Jinfen Family". When I came to reality, it was difficult for my mentality to change.

The longer Dong Xuan stays on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the more she misses the days of filming in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

People are all compared.

I didn't think much of Cao Xuan as the boss before, but now that she has been filming with Zhang Dabeard for several months, Dong Xuan is full of words to praise Cao Xuan.

While they were taking a break, the production director of the crew rushed over and saw Dong Xuan grabbing her sleeve.

"Hurry up, Mr. Zhang is looking for you. There are a bunch of reporters outside, all here to interview you."

"Interview me?"

Dong Xuan, who was confused about the situation, looked confused. Production director Ren was so anxious that she almost jumped: "Don't you understand? Girl, you are famous."

famous! ?

Dong Xuan was dragged away by the production director in a daze. Zhou Jie was curious and joined in the fun.

Today's shooting was in two locations, one was a small team filming Yang Kang's side, and the other was a large team filming the male and female protagonist's scenes.

The straight-line distance between the two crews was only about a hundred meters, but there was a hillside blocking it. It took five or six minutes to get around. When they arrived at the crew, they saw a dozen reporters surrounding Zhang's big beard.

"Dong Xuan is a very hard-working actress and can endure hardships. She is a dancer and has good acting skills. We are now preparing for her to play an important role in the upcoming "Dragon Movie"..."

Zhang Beard was bragging in front of reporters, and at the same time he did not forget the popularity of the "Dragon Movie" crew behind Amway.

While he was enjoying the excitement, he suddenly saw Dong Xuan and hurriedly waved her over and introduced him to reporters.

"Dong Xuan just came back from Beijing the night before yesterday and joined the crew for filming the next day. She is very dedicated."

"Hello Dong Xuan, I am a reporter from Sina.com. Are you returning to the capital to celebrate the New Year?"

"No, the crew won't have a holiday during the Spring Festival. I'm going back to cooperate with the promotion of "Golden Pink Family"."

Dong Xuan replied in a confused manner, Zhang Big Beard was not someone to be trifled with, and most people wouldn't let them go easily when they joined the team. It was only after Cao Xuan called in person that he gave Dong Xuan a week's holiday.

Dong Xuan, who was still a little transparent before, always followed Cao Xuan and Hu Jing when participating in interviews. She had to deal with more than a dozen reporters at one time and was choked by the reporters' questions.

What's more important is that she didn't figure out what was going on at all. Fortunately, Zhang Dabeard stayed shamelessly and stayed beside him to share the firepower.

Only then did Dong Xuan understand the situation bit by bit!

The production director just now was right, Dong Xuan is famous, and extremely popular.

In less than a week after the show was aired, the ratings have exceeded 10%, and the market share has stabilized at more than 25%. Since its launch, it has ranked first in the same time period for many consecutive days.

"Xiao Shiyilang" and "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 2", which were both broadcast in February, were directly crushed by "Golden Fan Family", and they lost their temper at all.

"Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 2" has the support of the audience base of the previous work. The combination of Iron Triangle + Yuan Li is also very popular, and the results are barely acceptable.

And "Xiao Shiyilang" is miserable.

This TV series, which was given high hopes by Zhouyi and even invited Captain Wu Qilong of the Little Tigers and Zixia Fairy Zhu Yin, was attacked by "The Golden Family" and "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", and its premiere performance was far worse than that of the original time and space.

Zhou Yi, who had just gained momentum due to "Li Wei Becomes an Official" and "Wulin Foreign History", was slapped by Tou Tou.

Zhou Yi has great ambitions for this drama. He produced it independently and invested heavily in it. Now that the first broadcast is unfavorable, it is more difficult to sell subsequent broadcast rights, and the funds cannot be recovered. The company is facing a wave of minor crises.

The second part of Li Wei's trilogy, "Li Wei Becomes an Official", which was originally planned to be developed by Fanxing, has also become a problem.

However, Cao Xuan was very loyal and lent 5 million free of charge to Zhou Yi to tide over the difficulties.

Zhou Yi and Jiang Xueroushun were very grateful. They knew that Cao Xuan had been thinking about Zhou Yi's script reserve, so they took out some high-quality scripts as thanks and interest, including "Water Moon Cave Sky" which Cao Xuan had always been thinking about.

Cao Xuan was originally embarrassed to ask for this script.

"Love Across Time and Space" and "Li Wei Becomes an Official", Fanxing has already made a lot of money from Zhou Yi. This 5 million is considered a thank you fee. Besides, it is just a loan, not a non-repayment.

But in the view of Zhou Yi and his wife, it was a critical moment when their company encountered difficulties.

Although it started to some extent because of "Golden Pink Family", it was not Fanxing's original intention.

Comparatively speaking, during the cooperation of "Li Wei Becomes an Official", if Fanxing Company's funds were cut off, the couple's first thought would not be to help, but to seize the opportunity to win Fanxing's share.

As a result, now, instead of taking advantage of the situation, Cao Xuan took the initiative to donate generously and provide financial help without any strings attached.

Boss Cao is a very particular person!

Therefore, Cao Xuan did not resist the kindness of Zhou Yi and his wife, and accepted the scripts such as "Water Moon Cave" with a shy face, and was even chased by Zhou Yi and his wife to thank them.

Cao Xuan felt that such a situation was mainly due to his own kindness.

Every time I harvested the wool, I always wanted to compensate others. As a result, I was automatically understood by others as "Cao brings a good person", and they were grateful to him and regarded him as a close friend.

Xiao Zhou, Yu Quan, Sun Yanzi, Zhou Yi and his wife are all senior victims.

Even if his moral integrity is as low as Cao Xuan's, he sometimes reflects on whether he has gone too far. In the end, he can only come to one conclusion: don't pick on someone, be more philanthropic.

Ho... bah!

Then again, the ratings of "Golden Pink Family" are booming, and several of the leading actors have naturally become popular as well.

The first is Cao Xuan, but his own reputation base is large, which is the icing on the cake.

The charm of Hu Jing's character has not yet appeared, and the growth is limited for the time being. On the contrary, several newcomers who have appeared in the role have gained great attention.

The most popular one is of course Dong Xuan as the heroine. Her outstanding character design, pretty appearance and gentle and elegant temperament made this Nortel sophomore student become famous almost overnight and she was well known throughout the country.

Dong Xuan had been busy traveling these past two days and had just returned to the set. She had no intention of thinking about outside matters. The company was busy with various follow-up matters for "The Golden Family" and could not take care of her for the moment.

In addition, the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was busy filming and was located in a remote location, so news was relatively inconvenient. It was not until a few days after the broadcast that reporters came to the door that everyone knew that Dong Xuan was famous.

This group of reporters was just the first batch. In the following two days, many reporters came one after another, all coming to interview Dong Xuan.

"Jinfen Family" has received great ratings and attracted a lot of attention. There is no shortage of information about Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, but the most lacking thing is the amateur heroine, so everyone is grabbing news about Dong Xuan.

Zhang Beard had no worries about being interrupted during the filming, and wished that more people would come to make "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the follow-up "Dragon Movie" even more popular.

He now wished he could hug Cao Xuan and kiss her. He didn't expect that he would be the second female lead arranged by a favor. He didn't expect that the scene would become a major publicity point for the crew. It was really worth it.

After studying how popular "Jin Fen Family" was, Zhang Dabeard realized Dong Xuan's popularity and even considered whether to add more weight to her.

Mu Wanqing's weight is a bit low, Wang Yuyan is quite suitable, but someone has already decided.

Zhang Dabeard was thinking about the roles of A'Zhu and A'Zi, but he felt that Dong Xuan was a little unsuitable, and he kept hesitating in his heart.

Dong Xuan didn't have much idea, so she accepted the interview with peace of mind. Fanxing's side finally came to their senses, and Jiang Yue flew over personally to take charge.

The proprietress couldn't move, and the others had not made much progress. Dong Xuan once became the most profitable trump card in the hands of Fanxing Artist Management Department, and Vice President Jiang took it very seriously.

These reporters couldn't hold it in and were eager to dig out some hard facts from Dong Xuan, a rookie.

Almost every reporter interviewed asked about the relationship between Dong Xuan and Cao Xuan. They wanted to tie them together. If they couldn't reveal their relationship, they would have to figure out the whole unspoken rules.

Dong Xuan was still very immature when facing these wolf-like reporters. If Zhang Beard hadn't been there to help her, she might have been fooled.

But now that Jiang Yue is here, and Fengyun Studio is in place immediately, and has taken the initiative in public opinion, there is no need to worry too much about being tricked.

But scandals are inevitable, otherwise it would be a disgrace to Cao Daguan's reputation.

Cao Xuan had tried to clarify before, but later found it was useless, so he simply let it go and let the ridicule go.

The only thing that makes Cao Xuan happy is that the people he has been involved in scandals with are all female artists, not men.

As long as his character is still a real man, everything else is easy to say...
