Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 286 "Zhu Xian" Launch Conference
Beijing, Shangri-La Hotel.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi went to the company first, met Zhang Jizhong, Zhao Jian and Huang Lei, and came to the hotel together.

When we arrived at the hotel, all the actors who were scheduled to participate in the press conference had already arrived, and they were resting in their rooms. Some actresses were also putting on makeup to prepare for the opening press conference in the afternoon.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei knocked on the door of the room while walking in the corridor of the hotel, said hello to the actors, chatted for a while, and then returned to their suites to prepare for the press conference.

The press conference started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, various media outlets walked out of the room with machines and microphones with their company logos, went downstairs to the entrance of the hall where the press conference was held, and worked with Bright Times on the hotel side Under the guidance of the staff, start to sign in and enter the venue.

After the media came in one after another, some media were familiar with the decoration of this hall. Thinking back, it was the hall where Concubine Liu Yi held her coming-of-age ceremony, but the layout had already been changed to what the press conference should have.

The walls around the hall are full of Zhu Xian's posters, in addition to that, there are also many sponsors' advertisements.

At intervals in the aisle of the hall, there is also a roll-up display to display the content of the story of "Zhu Xian". material.

"Dude, do you know who the leading actor is?" A reporter whispered to the colleagues next to him while filming.

"No news has been released, who knows?" The reporter next to him shook his head.

""Zhu Xian" has been confirmed to be a group portrait. If it is a group portrait, it is not only the protagonist. I am very curious about who the actors of the rest of the characters are." A reporter interjected.

"Group portrait, if an actor doesn't perform well, it will ruin a story line. Personally, I guess, the crew of "Zhu Xian" must have hired a lot of old actors, just like the lineup of "Dragon Ba Bu"." The photographer on the side guess.

"That makes sense. With Zhang Jizhong and Zhao Jian around, we should be very sure about actors." Another reporter nodded.

"Although Zhang Jizhong loves marketing, don't mention it, the actors he hired in previous dramas are more in line with the audience's expectations." A reporter laughed.

"Hey, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are also producers. I heard that "Zhu Xian" is led by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. Zhang Jizhong doesn't care about it at all. Recently, paparazzi have photographed him running to a special effects company." A reporter suddenly said.

"Yes, a mango TV friend of mine told me that "Zhu Xian" is directed by Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi, and that Zhang Jizhong is busy with the later stage of "Sculpture of God" regardless of his affairs." A reporter echoed.

"Isn't it? A big production of 5500 million yuan, is it really for Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi to practice?" A photographer was stunned.

"I also heard that the protagonist Zhang Xiaofan is a newcomer." A reporter said.

"Newcomer?!" The nearby media were slightly surprised, but they were full of anticipation as if they had heard the big news.

"Ahem." The host began to control the rhythm of the scene on the platform.

When the scene became quieter, the host carried out the opening remarks and other procedures.

Finally, under the process of the host, the door of the hall was pushed open.

Zhang Jizhong walked in first, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu followed side by side, followed by Zhao Jian, Huang Lei, Liu Yi, and Huang Xuan, Dong Xuan, Zhao Liying and other actors. They stepped on the red carpet and walked towards the platform together.

The spotlights flickered frequently. While filming, the actors who participated in "Zhu Xian" also unveiled a small scene.

"Chen Daoming!" Many media were shocked.

Although they knew that Chen Daoming was from the brilliant era, and it was fine for Chen Daoming to appear in a fairy drama, but after they got to know "Zhu Xian", Chen Daoming's image corresponds to the role of "Zhu Xian". Can play a supporting role.

"It's either Wang Jinhua or Chu Xuan. Otherwise, who would have the face to invite Chen Daoming to play a supporting role in a fairy tale drama?" Many media have speculated.

But no matter what, the news that Chen Daoming, the actor and TV emperor, joined "Zhu Xian" is bound to be very explosive.

Before the interview started, some writers had already started writing drafts.

"Dong Xuan, judging by the order of the actors, it should be the heroine Lu Xueqi."

"With the strength and resources of Brilliant Times, why not find a frontline?"

"Fuck, who are the first and third in the ranking? Are they really newcomers?"

"Su Chang is in the first rank, and the ranking is still at the back. That must be Jiang Xin. Mu Wanqing was a little popular back then. She seems to have disappeared in the past two years. She is not in the third rank, and she is still ahead of Su Chang."

"This... the lineup is so strange."

The media couldn't figure it out. In the past, when participating in other press conferences, they usually started with the leading actor with the highest ranking, and the supporting actors with lower rankings followed.

The opening of this press conference opened their eyes, which is really different.

"I seem to be participating in the red carpet of the Magnolia Awards Ceremony that year."

"Why do you say that?"

"I only look at acting skills, not popularity, so in the red carpet part of this award, many celebrities are not showing off. I don't know any of them, but these celebrities I don't know won the award."

Hearing what the photographer said, the reporters nearby were dumbfounded.

A group of people went to the platform to divert them. Zhang Jizhong, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Zhao Jian and Huang Lei walked onto the platform, sat down on the five single sofas and took the microphones distributed by the staff. Sitting on a row of sofas.

After the host explained the simple process, the interview session started soon.

According to the rules announced by the host, the five core characters of the crew on the platform can ask random questions without order.

"Producer Zhang, you have been following the martial arts drama route, why do you suddenly want to make a fairy tale drama?"

Zhang Jizhong looked at the reporter and picked up the microphone.

"My next drama is still a martial arts drama. Strictly speaking, this "Zhu Xian" does not belong to my drama. It is the work of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and it is also their hard work."

Hearing what he said, the media were a little surprised.

According to this, Zhang Jizhong is the chief producer of "Zhu Xian"?
Or did Zhang Jizhong just take Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi to study film production?

It should be like this, which also let the media put down their doubts.

When "Zhu Xian" was publicized, they, including those in the industry, were surprised to see that Zhang Jizhong was the chief producer.

Zhang Jizhong, who is deeply involved in martial arts dramas, why did he suddenly film Xianxia?This is unreasonable.

Until now, the doubts have been lifted.

However, the media took a look at Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi. According to Zhang Jizhong, "Zhu Xian" is really the work of these two first-time producers?

5500 million hands-on work, this starting point is high.

Now that they knew that Zhang Jizhong was only a nominal producer, the media temporarily lost interest in asking questions about Zhang Jizhong.

The media reporter who was pointed turned to Chu Xuan.

"Producer Chu, what caused you and Producer Liu to suddenly switch from actors to producers?"

Chu Xuan picked up the microphone and said: "Studying film production, you can watch dramas with a different perspective and way of thinking. Not only can you learn new things, but it can also help us have diverse thinking about dramas, and it will also have a certain impact on our own acting skills." great help."

"Watching a movie with the eyes of an actor is completely different from watching a movie with the eyes of a producer. If you look at the script with another eye, Concubine Liu Yi and I will enter the filming team in the future, and our understanding of the play and the script will definitely be different. Improvement, the ability to perform roles will also improve and change."

The media nodded. Actors watching a play, a director watching a play, and a producer watching a play. These are three different angles.

It is reasonable for Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi to want to improve their abilities as actors while studying.

After all, it is a good thing to have the resources to learn more things, and it is more beneficial to the development of the two of them.

"Producer Chu, I heard from Producer Zhang that "Zhu Xian" was directed by you and Producer Liu, so the choice of actors was also decided by you and Producer Liu?"

"Yes." Chu Xuan nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, that actor is the male Zhang Xiaofan, and that actress is the female second Baguio?" the reporter asked.

Chu Xuan followed the reporter's gaze and said, "That's right, Huang Xuan, Zhao Liying, two newcomers."

Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying clenched their fists nervously. It was the first time they came to such a big scene. Although Chu Xuan had greeted them in advance and told them not to be nervous, they were a little uneasy when they heard that the reporter had nominated them.

Especially Huang Xuan, he already knew that it is rare for a newcomer to be the protagonist in the entertainment circle, so he was under a lot of pressure, not to mention that Chu Xuan trusted him, the pressure was even greater.

"Why use a newcomer as the protagonist? Or the protagonist of such a big production TV series?" The reporter asked.

"He is currently the most suitable actor for Zhang Xiaofan, so Producer Liu and I chose him." Chu Xuan said.

The media subconsciously glanced at Huang Xuan, the most suitable actor for Zhang Xiaofan?

Although they knew about "Zhu Xian", they did not know too much just for this press conference.

But there were also a few journalists who liked to read novels, carefully scrutinized Huang Xuan's face and his overall state, it seemed that he really felt a little like Zhang Xiaofan.

"I heard that there are many actors who submitted their resumes to audition for Zhang Xiaofan, and many of them are young students. Are these people more suitable than him?" The reporter asked again.

"I just said that he is the most suitable." Chu Xuan said.

"Where is he suitable?" The reporter asked.

The rest of the media are watching the show, this is to break the casserole and ask the end.

Concubine Liu Yi frowned slightly, then relaxed, turning her head to look at Chu Xuan.

"Zhang Xiaofan is relatively young, and Huang Xuan is only 20."

"Zhang Xiaofan is in a cultivation school with mediocre cultivation talent; Huang Xuan is in a dance academy with mediocre dance talent."

"In terms of cultivation, everyone around Zhang Xiaofan is better than him; in terms of dancing, everyone around Huang Xuan is better than him."

"Zhang Xiaofan felt inferior because of this, and when I first met Huang Xuan, he also felt a little inferior."

"Although Zhang Xiaofan has low self-esteem, he has been working hard. Although Huang Xuan has low self-esteem, he has been looking for other ways out and never gave up on his pursuit."

"Zhang Xiaofan looks mediocre, and Huang Xuan can't be called handsome."

It sounded good at first, but the media are also combining Chu Xuan's words and looking at Huang Xuan with their eyes for comparison.

But the last sentence really made them laugh.

Huang Xuan pursed his lips, Chu Xuan was surprised to know him so well, and he was also moved by surprise, but Chu Xuan's last sentence made him make an expression that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Dong Xuan, Zhao Liying and Su Chang looked at him jokingly.

Concubine Liu Yi also covered her mouth and laughed.

Chu Xuan looked at the reporter and said: "So, Zhang Xiaofan's character and personality including the living environment, Huang Xuan is completely in line, who should I choose if I don't choose him?"

The reporter was dumbfounded, a little surprised in his heart.

He really didn't expect that Chu Xuan's selection criteria would be so strict?Has the living environment of Nima been taken into consideration?
He also took it.

"Even if Huang Xuan is very suitable for the protagonist, TV dramas need to be sold for money. As a producer, don't you consider commerciality?" Another reporter asked.

"TV dramas are works first, and then commodities. Before they become commodities, I have to make the works well. If the works are not done well, even if they become commodities, they are defective products. What's more, I hope that "Zhu Xian" can become a movie that the audience will always remember. Profound treasures are not limited to commodities." Chu Xuan said.

Zhang Jizhong, Zhao Jian and Huang Lei, including Chen Daoming and Liu Yi in the audience, all had bright eyes.

work?commodity?Treasures?Defective products?

This is very artistic.

The media were also slightly stunned, and the essayists immediately took up their pens and wrote down what Chu Xuan said.

This is reasonable and controversial, and it may become a good topic.

The most important thing is that this sentence came from the mouth of Chu Xuan, who is only 21 years old and holds a high position in the circle.

Concubine Liu Yi gave Chu Xuan a thumbs up, and she didn't shy away from it. The aboveboard wave of dog food was photographed by the media.

"Why did you choose Zhao Liying to play Baguio?" the reporter asked again.

"It was an accident that someone from the company discovered her handing out leaflets at the Beijing Railway Station, and then recommended her to me. If she really couldn't find a suitable actor, then I'll use her," Chu Xuan said.

Zhao Liying's face froze, was it an accident?
Huang Xuan, Dong Xuan and Su Chang lowered their heads and laughed, feeling very amused.

Concubine Liu Yi had a lot of smiles in her eyes, and was amused by Chu Xuan. She found that Chu Xuan was more straightforward than her now.

The corners of the media's lips raised slightly, and they were a little surprised in their hearts. They glanced at Zhao Liying, who was picked on for handing out leaflets at the train station?This luck is also really good.

The person who wrote the essay hurriedly wrote it down, which is also an interesting topic.

After getting two topics from Chu Xuan, the media turned to Concubine Liu Yi.

"Producer Liu, you are only 18 years old, and you are learning to be a producer. How do you feel?" the reporter asked.

"Happy." Concubine Liu Yi said.

"Why happy?" The reporter asked again.

"I can learn film production at the age of 18, I am very happy." Concubine Liu Yi said.

Chu Xuan held his forehead, and couldn't help laughing.

The interview with Concubine Liu Yi and the scene of Chuxuan holding back her laughter were perfectly captured by the photographer.

The reporter who asked the question was speechless.

media have fun

How many people in the country have the resources to be producers of 18 million big productions at the age of 5500?
Therefore, Concubine Liu Yi started studying film production at the age of 18. She is very happy and has no problems at all.

"For "Zhu Xian", what do you think is the biggest difference?" the reporter asked.

Concubine Liu Yi frowned and thought for a while, then stretched her eyebrows and said: "Compared with the current costume dramas, the emotional line is the biggest difference, and the way of expressing emotions is also very different."

"How is it different?" The reporter asked again.

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows, blinked her eyes, and said, "You'll know when it starts broadcasting."

The reporter was speechless.

There was also a chuckle from the media at the scene.

Chu Xuan, Zhang Jizhong and Zhao Jian also enjoyed hearing the words.

After asking one or two questions, the media turned to Zhao Jian and Huang Lei.

Facing these two people who had nothing to talk about, the media became rigid and asked some serious questions about the story of "Zhu Xian".

Ten minutes later, the first round of interviews ended, and the five of them, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, walked off the platform to make room for the actors.
