Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 144 "Immortal Sword" Launch Conference
Hengcheng, hotel.

At noon today, the launch conference of "Sword of Heaven" will be held, and a group of actors are currently gathering in Chu Xuan's suite to chat.

Chu Xuan is the male lead, and the room provided by the crew is naturally the most upscale and spacious one.

Although Concubine Liu Yi's suite was the same as that of Chu Xuan, but with Liu Xiaoli in the room, the rest of the actors naturally couldn't wander into Concubine Liu's suite.

"The two of you are really popular, and the popularity rose immediately." Jiang Xin looked at the notebook.

Some time ago, the crew posted the CP photos of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi on the Internet, and updated a new photo every few days.

Netizens and fans are also very helpful, and the discussion enthusiasm provided has been steadily rising.

"It's still far away. "The Legend of Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty", "Shuiyuedongtian", "Detective Di Renjie", "Blood Romance", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", these few dramas are the most popular." Concubine Liu Yi said to Jiang Xin Appreciate it.

"These dramas are either currently airing or will be airing soon. We haven't started filming "Sword" yet, and the publicity has not been up. Naturally, it can't be compared, but now just relying on the makeup photos of the two of you can bring this enthusiasm. After that, the popularity of publicity will definitely be higher." Peng Yuyan looked determined.

"Chu Xuan, Qianqian, the most important thing is the premiere of "Tian Long Ba Bu" on Treasure Island. It currently ranks first in the ratings. The two of you are also very popular on Treasure Island. advantage." An Yixuan said.

"Indeed. In Baodao's ranking of "Tianlong" artists, Lin Zhiying is first, Hu Jun is second, Concubine Yi is third, Chu Xuan is fourth, and Liu Tao is fifth. You are very popular." Liu Pinyan added.

"Brother Zhiying is hotter than the main protagonist, Brother Jun?" Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows.

An Yixuan shook his head and said: "There are not many people in Taiwan who are more popular than Lin Zhiying. But in mainland China, at this stage, there is a carousel effect of "Talents and Women", Chu Xuan should be more popular than him. The carousel of "Talents and Women" The broadcast ratings are much higher than "Dragon Ba Bu"."

At this moment, the assistant director knocked on the door, then pushed it open and said, "Get ready for an interview."

"Let's go." Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi stood up.

A group of people walked out, preparing to go downstairs to the large conference room to attend the "Sword" launch conference.

As soon as he walked out of the door, a text message came to Chu Xuan's cell phone: 【Fixed! ], the time of the text message—May 2004, 5.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and his face was warm for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Liu Yi looked at him.

Chu Xuan's face didn't seem to change, but she could clearly feel that Chu Xuan suddenly became a little happier.

"The first step is a success." Chu Xuan said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows, her slightly dilated eyes frowned for a moment, and smiled.

Although she still didn't know what Chu Xuan and Sister Hua were doing, it was her and Chu Xuan's "future" after all. When she heard Chu Xuan say that she had achieved success, she also encouraged him.

——The hotel conference room.

Li Guoli took the lead, and Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others followed him in.

The spotlights on the scene flickered frequently, which was particularly dazzling.

Seeing that the main personnel had arrived, the entertainment reporters quickly prepared for the interview.

On the small platform, Li Guoli sat on the far side, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sat side by side in the center, Peng Yuyan, An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan sat on the two sides.

"Director Li, why do you want to shoot a fairy tale drama? How is it different from a martial arts drama?"

Li Guoli picked up the microphone and said kindly: "First of all, it seems that there is no genre drama like Xianxia in the mainland, so the investor and I also want to try something new to see if such drama can be welcomed by the market. Yes, maybe there will be one more element in the film and television drama market in the future, which is a good thing for the development of the industry.”

This was heard in the ears of the reporters, and they also recognized it.

The early "Journey to the West" belonged to mythological dramas. Under the division of industry leaders, the term Xianxia was born out of mythology.

However, the inland market has always been dominated by martial arts dramas and court dramas, and Xianxia has not been valued by the industry.

The main reason is that Xianxia is destined to play special effects, and domestic special effects technology is currently mediocre, and special effects cost money.

Therefore, although the concept of Xianxia has long existed, no one has tried to produce such a film and television drama. Almost everyone has followed the trend, first martial arts, then the court, and then the city.

"Xianjian" has "immortal" in its name, and judging from the background of the story that has been promoted, this drama is in line with the "Xianxia" element.

Then, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Sword of Heaven" is the first fairy tale drama in the mainland.

That being the case, as Li Guoli said, if "Sword of the Immortal" is successful, it is destined to follow suit, and the entire industry will have more elements of "Xianxia".

"The difference between martial arts and celestial beings? I think the difference lies in the background of the story, the shooting scene, the way of convincing and special effects. I don't think there is any difference in the rest. Martial arts is the element closest to our current people and life. Chivalrous dramas, and even mythological dramas, will basically be filmed according to the filming method of martial arts dramas."

This is true.

Martial arts are the closest to people's lives, and even "Journey to the West" has a bit of martial arts in it.

For example, the way of fighting, such as martial arts-style grievances and hatred, etc., these are the original elements of martial arts, and they are all introduced or adapted by various mythological dramas.

As for the Xianxia drama, it is even more inseparable from the element of martial arts.

"Director Li, the previously advertised investment in "Sword of Immortal Sword" was 2500 million. What is the proportion of the funds that Director Li intends to use for special effects?"

"At least half."

The reporters were a little surprised.

Half of the total investment is used for special effects, so this drama is somewhat exciting.

I'm afraid that if the Xianxia drama is in the name of Xianxia, ​​and the things produced in the end are not as good as martial arts, then there is a high probability that this drama will hit the street.

"Director Li, how do you think about choosing Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi as the male and female protagonists?"

"The image fits well, the two actors match well, and their acting skills are good, so I chose them."

Good acting?

The reporters froze for a moment.

Chu Xuan's acting skills are good and they still recognize it, after all, there are works on the market to prove it.

Concubine Liu Yi also has good acting skills?

The interview on Li Guoli's side ended, and the reporters found Chu Xuan as the next person to interview.

"Chu Xuan, Director Li said that Concubine Liu Yi has good acting skills, what do you think?"

Sitting on the sofa, Chu Xuan fell silent.

This group of reporters was really good at finding trouble, and directly threw the topic to him, and even had a seamless connection with Li Guoli.

Concubine Liu Yi sat next to Chu Xuan, in a relaxed state of complete indifference, she pursed her lips and looked at Chu Xuan, waiting for his reply.

She was more interested in Chu Xuan's answer than the reporter's question.

"Liu Yifei's acting skills are really good. In the previous crew, she was often praised by Brother Chenglong. I think her fans and audience will be pleasantly surprised after "Sword of Heaven" is broadcast."

The previous crew?
New Police Story?
The reporters came to their senses, it turned out that Concubine Liu Yi had acted in a movie before that, and it was Chenglong's movie, so it was normal for her acting skills to improve.

Based on the evaluation of Concubine Liu Yi's "excellent image and poor acting skills" on the Internet, perhaps this evaluation will be overturned when "Sword" is broadcast.

The reporters also stopped entangled in this issue, and changed the topic, targeting Concubine Liu Yi.

In this press conference, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were arranged in the middle and sat side by side.

The meaning should not be too obvious, these two people are the main interviewees.

The reporters were not notified in advance, saying that they would come one by one, so there might be more revelations in the interview together.

"Concubine Liu Yi, in your previous works, you were the female supporting role. This is the first time you are the heroine, and you are playing with Chu Xuan. What do you want to say? How do you comment on Chu Xuan?"

Concubine Liu Yi's face was full of suppleness, she picked up the microphone and said: "Chu Xuan has always taken care of me, and in my first two works, he would also guide my acting skills and make me perform better. So, this time I can I am very happy to play with Chu Xuan."

The eyes of the reporters lit up, the words were a bit ambiguous.

"Chu Xuan, Concubine Liu Yi said that you took good care of her and taught her acting skills. Do you have anything to say?"

Chu Xuan sighed inwardly, Concubine Liu Yi is really courageous, and she is not afraid of being misunderstood when she says this.

Although it is true, it is not good to have a scandal.

It didn't matter to Chu Xuan himself, but the influence on Concubine Liu Yi would definitely be great.

He picked up the microphone and said: "Concubine Liu Yi and I are classmates, and we are also very good friends in life. Of course, he and I are the most familiar in the crew, and we often communicate with each other about some plays."

As he said that, Chu Xuan smiled: "Of course, I would also like to thank Concubine Liu Yi's mother, Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu is very polite and allows me to have a meal often."

Liu Yifei's mother?

That's right, Concubine Liu Yi's mother follows her every day, and she can find out after a little inquiring in the circle, this is not uncommon.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are also classmates, and it is normal to exchange acting skills with each other.

The most important thing is that Concubine Liu Yi is only 16 years old and has a mother who follows her every day. No one will believe this scandal, and it will offend Wang Jinhua and the people behind Concubine Liu Yi.

The reporters dismissed the idea for a moment.

If the scandal cannot be confirmed, then they will face pressure from Wang Jinhua and Huayi and a letter from a lawyer.

This is not worth the candle.

"It's a pity, these two people are so popular, if there is any scandal, it would be big news." Many reporters regretted it.

……

At the end of the press conference, after the group attended the opening ceremony, they were ready to go to the downstairs hall to attend the opening banquet.

"Qiqian, fortunately Chu Xuan reacted quickly and pulled me in, otherwise what you said would be embellished by the media, and you and Chu Xuan would be in trouble." Liu Xiaoli frowned while holding her daughter's shoulder.

"But I'm telling the truth." Concubine Liu Yi wrinkled her nose, looking indifferent.

"In the eyes of those media, the truth can also become a lie." Chu Xuan said.

"Whether they're fake or not has nothing to do with me, anyway, I'm telling the truth." Concubine Liu Yi squinted at Chu Xuan, her eyes were a little firm.

Chu Xuan was speechless for a while, he tilted his head slightly and met Concubine Liu Yi's eyes, facing Concubine Liu Yi's firm gaze, he gradually softened.

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows, her face was arrogant and playful.
