Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 217 "Sculpture of God" Launch Conference
Zhang Jizhong and Wang Jinhua led the director team in the temporary studio of Brilliant Times. After nearly a month of casting, setting, filming planning and a series of preparatory work, all of them were completed.

After discussing with Wang Jinhua, Zhang Jizhong set the gathering date for the next cast of "Sculpture of God" on March 3, and arranged the launch conference for the afternoon of March 29 today.

Zhang Jizhong arrived one day earlier with the director team and entourage, settled in the Leqing City Hotel, and joined the important personnel from Yandang Mountain.

"Brother Zhang, the casting is pretty fast this time."

Zhao Jian said with a smile, he, Zhang Jizhong, and Yu Min watched the layout of the press conference in the hotel conference room, and then walked in the corridor of the hotel to go back to the suite.

""Sculpture of the Gods" is not "Dragon". Many supporting roles are very important. Casting is a problem. This drama focuses on Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv. As long as these two roles are chosen correctly, other candidates are easy to choose. There are too many, there is no need to be so picky." Zhang Jizhong said with a smile.

"Some important supporting roles have been contacted in advance, so there is no need to choose them." Yu Min added.

Zhao Jian nodded. With the enthusiasm of "Sculpture of the Gods", it is normal for those companies to want to force their own artists to participate.

The entertainment industry already has more wolves than meat, so as long as "Sculpture of the Gods" is of acceptable quality, it is very possible that it will become a big hit in the year it airs.

Although he didn't participate in the casting, he could also imagine that, apart from the reserved old actors, those artists must have fought for a role.

I just don't know how many resources Sister Hua got in exchange.

But he can think of it, and it must be a lot.

Relying on one drama, he won a lot of resources, and Bright Times made a lot of money, he laughed inwardly.

Zhang Jizhong has invested in Brilliant Times, and Zhao Jian and Yu Min are the iron duo of Zhang Jizhong's team.

Therefore, Zhao Jian and Yu Min are naturally very close to Bright Times.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the "Sculpture of God" film and television city?" Zhang Jizhong asked.

"It's okay, and it's not too big. It's far from the "Tianlong" film and television city. It's just a scene of [Xiangyang City]. I've checked it several times, and it's already confirmed." Zhao Jian nodded.

"When will Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi arrive? You don't need to think about the press conference in the afternoon. They will definitely become the focus of the media." Zhang Jizhong asked again.

"Come on the road." Zhao Jian replied, he glanced at his watch, "It should be here soon."

Zhang Jizhong raised his forehead slightly, turned his head to look at Zhao Jian, and was about to say something when he saw someone coming up the corridor.

"Here we come." He grinned.

"Brother Zhang, Director Yu, Director Zhao." Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, and Yang Tianzhen walked over.

Zhang Jizhong, Yu Min and Zhao Jian nodded and greeted each other.

"Go take a break, touch up your makeup, call the hotel to deliver food to fill your stomach, and the press conference will start at 2 p.m.."

"Okay." Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi agreed.

After chatting a few words, they went back to their rooms to prepare for the press conference.

……

The advance marketing of "Sculpture of God" has achieved a lot, and the national attention is unprecedented.

For the launch conference of "Sculpture of God", the entertainment media naturally want to get first-hand information. Taking advantage of the vortex of "Sculpture of God" is still hot, they feel that any new information about "Sculpture of God" will explode online The number of clicks has driven a lot of sales offline.

However, the launch conference of any film and television drama needs to be invited to participate, and the media that has not been invited will naturally miss the meeting.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the hotel conference room was opened by the crew. The media reporters held microphones with the logos of major news parties, and the photographers carried cameras and entered.

There are media from both sides of the strait, and there are also some self-media practitioners who have received a lot of attention on "Xinlang Micro Entertainment". There are also one or two hundred media reporters and entourages.

There is competition in any industry, and so is journalism.

But today they have a common goal, which is Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.

Just ask something out of these two guys and it's worth the money.

In a slightly noisy atmosphere, nearly a hundred people sat in their chairs and waited.

Until [-] o'clock in the afternoon, under the signal of the staff holding the microphone, the meeting room gradually became quiet. Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min brought Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and a dozen other actors into the venue.

Originally, there was no need to bring so many actors, just the main personnel, but with the popularity of "Sculpture of the Gods", if any actor is interviewed and publicized, there will be a lot of topics.

Zhang Jizhong understands these principles very well, and it seems very grand to bring some well-known actors on board.

The media reporters were also a little stunned, and they were excited by the sudden arrival of so many actors.

What Zhang Jizhong did was exactly what the media wanted.

Under the flashing spotlights, Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min first went to the platform and sat on the single sofa, while actors such as Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sat and waited in the audience.

Although it was impossible to interview Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi for the first time, Zhang Jizhong was notoriously crazy, and the media were also very interested in interviewing him.

"You have led the filming of "Swordsman", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon and Babu" successively, and have been deeply involved in the old dramas. What expectations do you have for the upcoming "Sculpture of God"? What are your expectations? Change?"

Zhang Jizhong picked up the microphone and said: "The expectation is to win the first place in the ratings in the year it airs. It's a change. The drama "Sculpture of God" will surpass the three dramas I made before. This is a change."

Actors such as Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei held back their laughter.

Zhang Jizhong's interviews in the past are very good. If you ask him a question that offends someone, then he has a high EQ; but if you ask a question about a TV series, he will be extremely confident.

It's like this every time, confident that my drama can beat all dramas in the same period.

The entourage immediately took a pen to record Zhang Jizhong's words, which was a breaking point.

The words 'No. [-] in ratings' were infinitely bolded by them.

"Is the "Sculpture of God" public election fair? How can Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei beat Zou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Qinqin and Nie Yuan?"

This reporter seemed to have a grudge against Zhang Jizhong, and even listed all the names one by one, for fear that Zhang Jizhong would not know, or that Zhang Jizhong would not reveal the news.

Zhang Jizhong glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and said, "You should ask the national audience this question, or you can go to the news network to place an advertisement. Why do you viewers choose Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi? Maybe they will tell you the answer."

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi lowered their heads and smiled slightly, Chen Zihan, Meng Guangmei and other actresses were also amused.

Some media reporters even laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

"Producer Zhang, what do you think is the answer for the national audience to choose Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi?"

Zhang Jizhong held the microphone in his right hand, and pointed in the direction of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi with his left hand.

"The two actors standing there are Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv. This is the answer."

The media reporters were startled, then the corners of their mouths raised slightly, and they looked at Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi one after another.

I have to say that after the baptism of "Sword of Heaven", the two of them standing side by side made them feel that they really matched each other.

These reporters put on filters when watching artists. This is also the skill of these two people, which is really good.

The reporters asked a few more questions about Yu Min, and Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min got off the platform.

Under the focus of the spotlight and the expectations of the reporters, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi got up and went to the platform to sit down on the two single sofas.

The two of them smiled and waved to the media reporters.

After a brief self-introduction, the interview with the reporters began.

"Chu Xuan, as Yang Guo of this version of "The Sculpture of the Gods", compared with the "Sculpture of the Gods" that many people considered to be the classic version in the past, Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong's partner, will you feel pressure?"

Chu Xuan picked up the microphone and said, "If Little Dragon Girl was Teacher Li Ruotong, then I would be under pressure. But now Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl are brand new partners. If you want to talk about pressure, the attention of the national audience will give me more pressure. But Liu Yifei and I will do our best to interpret this role well and be worthy of the support of the audience."

The media reporter nodded slightly.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were elected by audiences across the country. With this strong sense of participation, those audiences will definitely watch it immediately.

"See, these are Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv we have selected!" Many viewers will surely say so.

Under such circumstances, the pressure the audience put on Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi is undoubtedly enormous.

But although there is a lot of pressure, if Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei can play Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv well, then these two people will be great, and their popularity may surpass Sidan Shuangbing.

The media reporters also have hidden expectations. When these two people who debuted not long ago, surpassed the double ice in just a few years, there will definitely be turmoil in the circle.

"Yang Guo's role is a bit complicated. Whether it's mischievous and playful in the early stage, slowly growing steadily in the middle stage, or a Condor Hero in the later stage, it can be said that there are three changes in status. For only 21 How would you explain it to you at the age of [-]?"

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head to look at Chu Xuan.

Last month, Chu Xuan's birthday was celebrated at her home. Sister Hua celebrated it with her mother, Tian Zhen, and she helped Chu Xuan.

After his birthday, Chu Xuan will be 21 years old.

Thinking of the 20th birthday she helped Chu Xuan celebrate in "New Police Story", she felt that time passed so quickly.

"If it is naughty and fun, I will try to release some of the most basic instincts of an actor. For me, what I have to do in Yang Guo's early stage is not to embarrass the audience, and to behave naturally."

"Yang Guo in the middle period, in my eyes, was in a similar state to Li Xiaoyao in the later period; in my eyes, the state of the Condor Hero in the later period was somewhat similar to Murong Fu I played, or in other words, Murong Fu and Li Xiaoyao were in a similar state. Li Xiaoyao combined to play the affectionate version of Murong Fu, I think that's enough."

"Based on my personal performance experience, I have the confidence to play Yang Guo well and give the audience all over the country to judge and appreciate."

Concubine Liu Yi frowned, in her heart, Chu Xuan was not a naughty and fun person, at most he was only naughty occasionally.

Most of the time, she was the one who had fun, and Chu Xuan always accommodated and tolerated her, and then played with her.

With this experience in life, she believes that Chu Xuan can interpret the early Yang Guo well, and at the same time, she is also looking forward to what the naughty and playful Chu Xuan will look like?
She guessed she would laugh.

The media reporters also smiled knowingly.

Although there are not many costume dramas by Chu Xuan, there is only one "Tianlong" and one "Sword".

But the states of the two characters Murong Fu and Li Xiaoyao are well interpreted by Chu Xuan, and the audience can see it.

These are also the two ancient costume roles that Chu Xuan successfully portrayed.

With this qualification, Chu Xuan's Yang Guo is worth looking forward to.

Speaking of Murong Fu, Zhang Jizhong, who embraced his hands in the audience, was happy.

Chu Xuan's Murong Fu really gave him a deeper impression, and it was also the deep impression at that time. Looking at Chu Xuan's face, height, figure, temperament, and muscle lines, he felt that this was one of Yang Guo's candidates .

Later, after his observation of "Sword of Heaven", Concubine Liu Yi's emotional interpretation moved him, and he also gave her a thumbs up for Concubine Liu Yi. He also praised Concubine Liu Yi's progress in the bright era.

Whether it's the image, acting skills or the most important match, what he said just now is very serious: Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei stand there, just like Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv.

"Concubine Liu Yi, regarding the expectations of audiences across the country, they say that you are the most beautiful little dragon girl. What do you think?"

Concubine Liu Yi straightened her lower body and raised the microphone.

"I will work hard to prove that I am the best little dragon girl and live up to the trust of the national audience, Producer Zhang and Chu Xuan."

The reporters nodded, and the staff called on another reporter to ask questions.

"Concubine Liu Yi, do you have a kissing scene in this drama?"

"Have."

The eyes of the reporters lit up, this is good news.

Among other things, fans of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi will absolutely love this news.

"Is this your first on-screen kiss?"

The media reporter's eyes lit up again.

Concubine Liu Yi glanced at Chu Xuan, and said with a smile, "Yes."

The reporter's entourage took note of this question, and this information may be a good breaking point.

I asked Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi a few more questions, and finally Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi walked off the platform to be interviewed by other actors.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the opening conference and opening ceremony ended.

All the actors participated in the kick-off banquet, and then temporarily took a day off at the hotel. The filming of "Sculpture of God" will officially start tomorrow.
