Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 28

In the next few days, actors like Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei started filming or re-shooting some scenes, or played Hu Jun and Lin Zhiying to set them off, and worked hard to create wonderful scenes.

When a person starts to do something seriously, time passes quickly, let alone a group of people who get along well and work hard together?

In this way, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

As mid-May approached, the weather in Zhejiang Province became hotter and hotter, and Chu Xuan had joined the team for one and a half months.

It was noon, and the weather outside was too hot. It was not a pleasure to stay in the room and turn off the air conditioner.

The sun is shining everywhere, and the hot wind blows from time to time, but when the air conditioner is turned on, there are two worlds within one mile and one outside.

Hotel executive suite.

On the sofa, Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua sat facing each other.

"Sister, don't be in such a hurry, I haven't finished filming Murong Fu's film yet, so you're making arrangements again?"

After Wang Jinhua finished dealing with Li Kuang's matter, she rushed back to the crew of "Tian Long Ba Bu" two days ago, and was going to give Chu Xuan a surprise today, but Chu Xuan didn't seem to have much interest in this surprise.

"Hey!" Wang Jinhua put her arms around her arms and scolded with a smile: "Other newcomers wish to live longer, but you seem to be disgusted by it? Chu Xuan, let me tell you, quickly put away your salty heart, Otherwise, I'll look after you in the future."

Chu Xuan pretended to be shy and smiled, winked at Wang Jinhua and said, "Sister, filming is so tiring."

"Tired?" Wang Jinhua seemed to have heard something funny, and said with a smile in her eyes, "I heard that you climbed mountains and visited the scenery these days when I was away. Right, and fight wine with Hu Jun from time to time at night? It’s only a fishing rod.”

Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing, he couldn't help crying and said: "Sister, the stalk of fishing is over, don't mention it in the future, okay, I promise I won't fish in this life!"

Wang Jinhua smiled when she heard the words, pointed at the document in Chu Xuan's hand, and changed the subject: "Look carefully, what do you think?"

Hearing her words, Chu Xuan shook his head without reading the document and said, "None of them are suitable."

Wang Jinhua raised her eyebrows: "It's not appropriate to be the protagonist? Do you want to go to heaven?"

Chu Xuan was amused by her words and smiled slightly: "Sister, let's make a reasonable analysis."

Chu Xuan put the documents on the table and pointed to one place.

""A Chinese Ghost Story" is a big IP co-produced and invested by Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Mainland, and Xinjiaguo. This drama must be popular. There is no doubt about it. It must have cost a lot, right?"

"You don't have to worry about it. You are an actor. You are only responsible for performing the trick well. I will handle the rest."

Wang Jinhua's tone was very calm, as if it was easy to get the resources of the leading role of this multi-region co-produced drama, she was very strong and confident.

"Okay." Seeing her strong attitude, Chu Xuan shrugged and said: "Even if you are good and got the resources, but sister, don't forget the old version of "A Chinese Ghost Story". How is Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian?"

"Is there even a question?" Wang Jinhua said in an undisputed tone: "A classic that cannot be surpassed."

"Isn't that right?" Chu Xuan spread his hands and said, "Sister, let's not think about such remakes of film and television dramas that cannot surpass the old versions in the future. Controversy, the audience will only criticize you, which is thankless."

"A Chinese Ghost Story" was an IP drama starring Xu Xiaodong, Da S, Wu Jing and other actors in the previous life.

There was a lot of momentum and little rain.

At that time, it caused some enthusiasm in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, but it disappeared after only a slight rise in the mainland.

Regardless of how well the actors performed, just like what Chu Xuan said just now, a drama that is destined to be unable to surpass the original version, no matter how you act, you will not be able to make much waves, and you will only be complained by the audience, and gradually forgotten by the market.

Wang Jinhua was silent for a while, nodded and said, "It makes sense."

"Really?" Chu Xuan smiled.

"Next." Wang Jinhua raised an eyebrow.

Chu Xuan smiled when he heard the words, and stretched out his hand to point to the file.

"The Legend of Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty, this drama is led by TVB, right?"

"uh-huh."

Wang Jinhua clasped her hands, crossed her legs, and nodded.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Jinhua, then leaned back against the sofa, raised his smiling face and said, "For TVB-led dramas, as the main investor, why should they give up the leading roles in the dramas to others instead of cultivating their own actors?"

An entertainment company or TV station invested in a drama, but the protagonist is someone else?It can only be said that this entertainment company has lost its mind.

Spending money on your own and giving resources to others for no reason is not only something that capital can't do, even people from ordinary families can't do such stupid things.

Unless, mutual benefit.

"However..." Chu Xuan said again: "Capital is heavy on profit, as long as the money is paid more, it is not impossible to give up the protagonist."

Chu Xuan looked at Wang Jinhua and said, ""A Chinese Ghost Story" is a joint investment from the three places across the Taiwan Strait. The company participated in the investment of "A Chinese Ghost Story". As long as I meet the requirements for the role audition, the company will pay a maximum of 800 million yuan. The price may allow me to play Ning Caichen."

Chu Xuan continued: "But "The Legend of Tang Dynasty Double Dragon" is exclusively led by TVB. If you want to win the resources of the protagonist Kou Zhong, the price you pay will only be greater than "A Chinese Ghost Story."

"There are no resources that I can't get, only resources that I don't want to get." Wang Jinhua said lightly.

Chu Xuan was stunned, and gave a thumbs up: "Sister, cow!"

However, Chu Xuan slowly shook his head at the next moment and said: "But the filming of these two dramas started before the broadcast of "Dragon Babu". However, "Dragon Babu" did not start broadcasting, so the commercial value of me not reflected."

Chu Xuan bent down and took a sip of the teacup, and said: "As a newcomer, under your persuasion, the company gave me the character resources of "Dragon and Babu", which can be regarded as a newcomer meeting gift. However, my Will the company agree to give me a big resource before the commercial value is reflected?"

"You don't need to worry about these things." Wang Jinhua said lightly.

Chu Xuan nodded, but said: "Sister, you think about the best direction for us artists, and we artists should also be grateful, right? We have to think about you, right?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Jinhua frowned.

Chu Xuan looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister, don't forget. Most of the company's artists, and even almost all superstars, are signed under your name, not under the company's name. In other words, we It's your artist, not the company's artist, the relationship between us artists and the company is only a profit sharing relationship, not an affiliation relationship."

Chu Xuan continued to laugh and said, "The more powerful you are, the more the company will fear you."

Wang Jinhua took a deep look at Chu Xuan, and then smiled: "You know a lot? But, I'm not strong, how can you live so well?"

"That's right." Chu Xuan nodded and smiled, "It's because you are kind to us, so we artists should also think about you, right?"

"Speak up if you have something to say." Wang Jinhua raised an eyebrow.

"Let's change our thinking and act in an urban drama." Chu Xuan laughed.

"Urban drama?" Wang Jinhua muttered.

With a smile on Chu Xuan's face, he said: "Although costume dramas dominate the screen nowadays, good urban dramas are not bad. The most important thing is that the investment cost of urban dramas is low. Before my commercial value is reflected, the company paid One or two million yuan may allow me to win the leading role in an urban drama. With such a small amount of money, and you are here, it should not be difficult for the company to agree to it."

Chu Xuan leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile: "Compared to the excessive price paid for a costume drama, the company will become more and more afraid of you, sister. My proposal does not have so many troubles, so you can save your worry."

"I'll think about it." Wang Jinhua pondered for a while, while Chu Xuan drank tea and waited.

half an hour.

Wang Jinhua raised her head and said: "I asked the team to inquire about the situation of urban dramas during this time, to see if there are any good dramas, if there are any, it would be the best, if not..."

As she said that, Wang Jinhua looked down at the documents on the coffee table and said, ""A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Legend of Double Dragon", choose one of the two. If you don't have to run, it's up to you."

Wang Jinhua got up and walked towards the room, ready to contact the team.

Chu Xuan glanced at her back, then lowered his head to look at "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Legend of Two Dragons in the Tang Dynasty" in the documents on the coffee table, and suddenly shook his head and said, "The weather will get hotter and hotter after a while, so it's not suitable for shooting ancient costumes. drama, thick clothes, and makeup on the face, it’s tiring to think about it.”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Jinhua turned around abruptly, looking at Chu Xuan with dangerous signals in his eyes.

"what did you just say?"

Chu Xuan was startled, and looked up at Wang Jinhua.

Wang Jinhua hugged her hands, and said with a half-smile, "You just kept talking about blah blah blah, and you said it was for my own good, and you said you didn't shoot ancient costumes because you would be tired, right?"

Chu Xuan shook his head frequently: "No."

"Then what did you mean by that sentence just now?" Wang Jinhua had a dangerous smile on his face.

"That sentence just now? What did I just say? I don't seem to have said anything?" Chu Xuan looked blank.

Wang Jinhua closed her smiling face, stretched out her hand and kept pointing at Chu Xuan, her tone became louder: "Because it will be very tiring, so you rejected the opportunity to be the leading role in two IP dramas..."

As he said that, Wang Jinhua suddenly smiled: "Chu Xuan! I have never seen an actor like you before! An actor who is afraid of being tired will not play the leading role in a costume drama? Believe it or not, I want to beat you to death right now!"

Wang Jinhua's sudden change made Chu Xuan unstoppable, burst into laughter in no time, got up and ran.

With a bang, an empty bottle of mineral water fell on the ground beside him.

"Sister, that was just my nonsense just now, really."

There was a "bang", it was Wang Jinhua's small bag.

"Sister, I was wrong!"

Wang Jinhua couldn't catch up with Chu Xuan, so she stood on the spot panting with her hips crossed, with a smile in her eyes but in a slightly exasperated tone, she said: "That means what you said today makes sense, next time! I'll tell you, Chu Xuan, next time There is no need to discuss what drama you will play next time!"

Chu Xuan squatted on the ground, with his head down, everyone laughed silly.

He didn't expect Wang Jinhua's ears to be so sharp, and his whispers could be heard.

This is pure error.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Xuan opened the door, Concubine Liu Yi blinked outside the door and said, "Brother Xuan, have you packed up, ready to go to Yunnan Province."
