Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 489
"Zhu Xian" is in the middle of the broadcast, and the time is approaching May.

The sun tends to be hot, and the average temperature has stabilized at around 20 degrees.

It was still a bit chilly in the morning, so after Chu Xuan put on a black shirt, he also put on a thin jacket to cope with the temperature difference.

As usual, he made a phone call with Concubine Liu Yi and exchanged simple and warm greetings. After hanging up the phone, he stood in front of the mirror and straightened his attire. Chu Xuan walked out the door.

When he was holding the doorknob and was about to turn it open, Chu Xuan turned his head and looked.

The quilt on the bed was still unfolded, and the messy state revealed his habit of kicking the quilt while sleeping.

The clothes to be changed yesterday are still hanging on the back of the chair in front of the dressing table, and I didn't enjoy the treatment of being baptized by the washing machine for the first time.

With just a quick glance, with a bang, Chu Xuan opened the door, closed it and left, acting indifferent.

This is also what Concubine Liu Yi often said, the little bad things in Chu Xuan's life.

And Chu Xuan said that if he did this, he was just like thousands of men all over the world, and there was nothing wrong with him.

When a woman is around, she is perfect when she can be perfect.

When the woman is not around, I am the only one in heaven and earth.

How simple how to come, how happy how to live.

Make a quilt?It's just a trivial matter, don't worry about it, anyway, no one comes to the house to be a guest, who can show the quilt after folding?

do the laundry?Wait until there are more clothes and then wash them together, saving time, effort and water bills.

This is the roughness of most men, and Chu Xuan is also in this category.

It's just that under his glamorous appearance, he can't hide his flaws, but he is often brought up by Concubine Liu Yi and severely beaten: "Oh, men, you are sloths without women."

At this time, Chu Xuan would respond gently: "I love you."

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Yi would always say "huh-huh", with an angry and funny sweetness mixed in her tone.

Then, there is no more, and this matter will be over again.

You have your sharp words, and I have my three-character mantra.

This love that is separated by thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean has been played with many new tricks by the young couple. While giving them a sense of freshness, they also give each other more care and love.

Today's sun is very bright, Chu Xuan put out the baffle on the driver's seat after getting in the car, so as to block the incoming sunlight and disturb his sight.

He drove out, then turned left, and went to Sister Hua's house for breakfast as usual.

But Wang Jinhua walked towards him and waved to Chu Xuan who was in the driver's seat on the road in the neighborhood.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, aren't you having breakfast at home?He didn't know what to do, turned the steering wheel in reverse gear, turned around and stopped the car to wait.

"Bang." Wang Jinhua closed the car door, sat in the co-pilot, and put on a seat belt: "Ren Quan said that he has a new product in his store, and bring us a breakfast to the company later."

"Brother Quan is fine, this business is booming." Chu Xuan understood, started the car, and walked on the way to the company.

Ren Quan is very business-minded, and opened a restaurant with his close friend Li Kuangqiang in the early years.

With the blessing of being a shareholder of Brilliant Times and micro-entertainment dividends, in just a few years, the restaurant has developed into a national chain and has its own catering company. Hundreds of millions.

As a self-made artist, Ren Quan has been very successful.

"Ren Quan is really good in business." Wang Jinhua nodded in approval.

She glanced at the continuous traffic outside the window, then turned her head to look at Chu Xuan: "But it's still a bit worse than you."

Chu Xuan shook his head, but did not answer.

"By the way, did you know that Xia Yu and Yuan Quan broke up?" Wang Jinhua changed the subject.

"Divided?" Chu Xuan was a little surprised, and returned to normal: "The cold war has lasted for so long, and Sister Yuan still can't accept it."

The incident between Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan happened last year. Although due to the existence of Brilliant Times, money was spent to keep the news from being revealed, Xia Yu still unilaterally disclosed his mistake to Yuan Quan.

Although Xia Yu has a good attitude, this kind of thing is not a matter of good attitude. As a woman, Yuan Quan is of course angry, so she separated from Xia Yu and had a cold war for more than half a year.

Hearing from Sister Hua that the two broke up, Yuan Quan probably couldn't accept the fact and chose to be alone.

"They will get back together." Wang Jinhua suddenly smiled.

"I think so too." Chu Xuan nodded slightly: "After all these years of affection, as long as Brother Yu insists on being sloppy, and Sister Yuan has a temperament of not fighting or snatching, there is no big problem for the two of them to get back together."

Wang Jinhua nodded. Naturally, she knew them best. As Chu Xuan said, it was only a matter of time before the two of them would get back together.

She turned around but looked a little jokingly, watching Chu Xuan change the subject: "If this happened to you, do you think Qianqian will forgive you?"

Chu Xuan was taken aback, he didn't expect Sister Hua to ask him such a question.

He tilted his head and looked at Sister Hua for a few moments, then looked back at the road ahead, and smiled slightly: "Sister, you don't need to ask this kind of question, if this can be forgiven, then she is not Concubine Liu Yi."

"And there's a female devil here. If this kind of thing really happens to me and hurts Sissy, I'm not sure what my mother-in-law will do to violate the law. I'm afraid when I think about it."

"Hahaha..." Wang Jinhua couldn't help laughing, thinking of Liu Xiaoli's love for Qianqian, if Chu Xuan did something wrong to Qianqian, it would be true as Chu Xuan said, Liu Xiaoli would go crazy.

What would a crazy mother do?No one can think of it, but it's scary to think about it.

The siblings chatted all the way to the underground parking lot, took the elevator up, and soon arrived at the company.

It's just that when he walked into the company, Xiao Shu, who had been promoted to the chairman's secretary, walked towards him with a look of hesitation.

"Sister Xiao, what expression do you have?" Chu Xuan felt strange.

"Mr. Chu." Xiao Shu pursed his lips, and then asked, "Can you bring Bi Yao back to life?"

Baguio resurrection? ...Chu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't expect this to happen.

After the climax of "Zhu Xian" last night, before he left the house in the morning, there was news about the ratings.

Successfully broke 7, reached the point where the average income was 7.1, and went up to another level.

And last night's plot was also hotly discussed by the audience, either commenting on the current plot, or guessing the follow-up plot, or venting their dissatisfaction on the Internet because the climax plot is a tragedy.

He looked at the situation on Weiyu in the morning, and after only one night, the news about "Zhu Xian" had three more trending searches, which is not unpopular.

Even if the audience outside had emotions, the people in the company were also emotional, which made him feel amused.

"Biyao is gone, isn't there still Lu Xueqi?" Chu Xuan opened the door and walked into the chairman's office.

Wang Jinhua also knew the popularity of "Zhu Xian", and she, the chairman, was naturally very happy to see that the company's works had reached a new level, and followed Chu Xuan into the office.

Xiao Shu curled her lips, Lu Xueqi doesn't have the fragrance of Bi Yao, although she is the heroine, she doesn't have any emotional scenes with Zhang Xiaofan, so she has no expectations for Lu Xueqi when she follows the drama.

Of course, there will definitely be Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi in the follow-up plot, but it hasn't been aired yet.

The topic ended here, Xiao Shu poured a cup of tea for Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua each, and then returned to the small desk to start working.

There was a "dong dong dong" knock on the door, and Xiao Shu, who had just sat down, wanted to get up and open the door, when Ren Quan pushed the door open and entered.

"President Ren." She called out.

Ren Quan nodded, and Ren Quan closed the door with his backhand, and walked towards the big desk with his breakfast in hand.

When things got closer, Ren Quan raised his smiling face and put the breakfast on the table: "Try to see if it suits your taste."

Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua shared the food, and each took some from the table in front of them.

"Brother Quan, do you want to act or not?" Chu Xuan fiddled with breakfast with one hand, and called Liu Yi with his mobile phone with the other.

Ren Quan moved a chair from the sofa and sat down beside Chu Xuan.

"Aren't you afraid that I will overwhelm your scene?" He joked, crossing his legs and clasping the back of his head with his hands.

"There is no such thing as pressing or not." Chu Xuan took a bite of the soup dumpling, the soup inside was rich and tasted very good, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious."

"It's really good." Wang Jinhua nodded and took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun.

Ren Quan smiled: "Then I will send someone to send it to you every day."

"It's not necessary." Wang Jinhua shook his head: "It's delicious and you can't eat it every day."

Just at this time, there was another knock on the door, and Liu Yi opened it and walked in.

The two sides greeted each other, and Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua let Liu Yi try the new breakfast.

Liu Yi moved a chair and sat down next to Ren Quan, took a bite of a bun, nodded in praise, and said to Chu Xuan, "Tell me what you think."

Liu Yi and Ren Quan gathered here today because of Chu Xuan.

In other words, it was caused by the character problem of "Legend of Red Flame".

Because Concubine Liu Yi wanted to study further, "Legend of Red Flame" entered the casting stage ahead of schedule.

But for the role of Mei Changsu, the teachers in the crew were a little worried.

In the script, Lin Shu is the hero and Mei Changsu is the second.

However, the structure of this version of the script has caused the male lead to have fewer roles than the second male lead.

In such a situation, judging from Chu Xuan's popularity and acting skills, if Mei Changsu casts a young actor, he might be oppressed by Chu Xuan's popularity and acting skills to become a transparent person, making Mei Changsu's role bleak. Light.

If they were looking for a popular and capable actor to play, apart from Chu Xuan, they could only think about the older generation of actors.

But letting an actor of the older generation play Mei Changsu, which does not match the age set by Mei Changsu, may cause the actor to be unsuitable for the role.

In the previous film and television market, casting followed three laws: role suitability, performance level, and popularity.

In the current film and television market, due to the gradual change in the direction of the pursuit of traffic, the three laws of casting have changed their order: role suitability, popularity, and performance level.

But no matter how it changes, if a TV series wants to become a good drama or even a classic, the degree of character adaptation will always come first.

If the actor does not match the role setting, it will be a flaw, no matter how good the acting skills are, it will not make up for it, and no matter how popular it is, it will only receive more abuse and complaints.

After deliberation, the teachers of the film crew classified Mei Changsu's cast as young actors.

At least, young actors playing Mei Changsu have the highest degree of adaptation.

Not to mention which young actor is most suitable to play Mei Changsu, and will not be overwhelmed by Chu Xuan's Lin Shu so that the audience will ignore it.

Let's talk about the idea of ​​the teachers in the crew, let a young actor play Mei Changsu?This is contrary to Chu Xuan's idea.

Liu Yi rushed to the office just to hear what Chu Xuan had in mind.

When he saw Ren Quan, he probably guessed the answer.

"The role of Mei Changsu cannot be played by a young actor." Chu Xuan said after eating the buns and drinking water.

Wang Jinhua and Liu Yi embraced each other, looked at Chu Xuan, and waited for him to finish.

Chu Xuan put the thermos cup on the table, took out a document from the file rack, opened it and looked at it, and said, "Who is Mei Changsu? He has a high IQ, and he sits behind the scenes, strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. It is the character template of the top strategists in ancient times."

Liu Yi nodded and continued to listen.

Chu Xuan looked at him and said, "For such a character, let young actors play it. Brother Liu, do you think the audience will perform?"

Liu Yi adjusted his sitting posture, and said, "I'm also struggling with this problem. The protagonists of similar dramas "Detective Di Renjie", "The Criminal of the Great Song Dynasty", and "Bao Qingtian" all have high IQs. It can be said that they are similar to Mei Changsu. It is the same type of role, but the actors are all actors of the older generation."

"Under such circumstances, the audience will be preconceived. For the ancient high-IQ characters, the first impression will be to target the older generation of actors."

"If young actors are allowed to play such roles, I am afraid that the audience will be disgusted, or there will be no sense of substitution."

"Yes, I think the same." Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Like Di Renjie and Bao Zheng, even if I'm allowed to act with my popularity, these two dramas will probably have to rush."

"In the current film and television market, for ancient high-IQ characters, audiences like to watch actors of the older generation, which will make audiences more comfortable watching."

"Otherwise, why do those production companies let older actors play these roles? Many young actors are more popular than these older actors. Why don't they hire young actors to play them?"

Wang Jinhua sorted out the documents, and said: "The rapid development of the film and television industry, and the addition of Hallyu, will drive the popularity of the market. Maybe in the future, we will only look at popularity and not the degree of adaptation, let alone acting skills, but we can't do this yet."

Chu Xuan nodded, and said: "In the future, some production companies may only focus on popular stars, regardless of whether he is suitable for the role or not, and whether his acting skills are good or not. Anyway, what he earns is fans' money, and what he earns is quick money."

"But if we want to build a brand in our bright era, we can't do it like this. Popularity belongs to popularity. The degree of character fit is always the first. The level of performance is also a necessary element."

Wang Jinhua looked down at the document and nodded slightly in recognition of Chu Xuan's words.

Liu Yi also understood what Chu Xuan meant, looked at Ren Quan, and said, "So you want Ren Quan to play Mei Changsu."

Chu Xuan pointed to Ren Quan: "Isn't this the real Mei Changsu? A scholar with a jade face, wise eyes, a natural and unrestrained temperament, and a sense of chivalry that values ​​love and righteousness. Apart from being a little older, there is nothing else. question."

I'm a little older... Ren Quan originally listened to Chu Xuan's praise in the first half, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard the last joke, and stretched out his hand to pat Chu Xuan: "I'm young, okay?"

"My brother Quan must be young." Chu Xuan nodded with a smile, and then looked at Liu Yi: "How about it? Jump out of the script limit, and combine the perception of the market to choose the role of Mei Changsu. It has both adaptability, high popularity and acting skills." , I think only Brother Quan is suitable for Mei Changsu."

"Oh, I'm a little swollen when you praise me so much." Ren Quan stretched his muscles and seemed very happy.

Liu Yi was happy, and looked at Chu Xuan with his arms around him: "Chu Xuan, I think you have improved."

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and together with Wang Jinhua looked at Liu Yi curiously.

Liu Yi said: "Thinking about when you were casting for "Zhu Xian", you insisted on letting Huang Xuan play the male lead, and no one could persuade you. Although "Zhu Xian" is now popular, it is also your greatest contribution, but every point counts. , We still think it’s wrong for you to choose the cast regardless of the market.”

"Now that you are proposing to jump out of the script limit and find actors in the market, I think you are already a qualified producer."

Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua looked at each other, and Chu Xuan said with a smile: "At that time, I was a producer for the first time. I didn't think so much. I didn't expand my thinking in this area. I just stared at the script and looked for it. Fortunately, "Zhu Xian" "The grades are not bad now, otherwise I will be very embarrassed."

"People are growing up." Wang Jinhua smiled. She still remembers that she made a special trip to Mango Channel for this matter, and chose to unconditionally support Chu Xuan's choice, in order to give Chu Xuan a better room for improvement. .

Some things, only through experience will grow.

No, Chu Xuan's two years of experience, the expansion of his way of thinking and thinking structure is a great progress.

At least in terms of production, both he and Sissy have made great progress.

"Ren Quan, what do you mean?" Wang Jinhua asked.

"When will it be filmed?" Ren Quan looked at Chu Xuan.

"About June and July." Chu Xuan said.

Ren Quan thought about it, estimated whether he would be free, nodded and said: "Okay, send me the script, I'll take a look at it during this time."

Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yi, and when Liu Yi saw that Ren Quan agreed, he didn't say anything else.

"Okay, I'll send you an email later."

Before that, Liu Yi was really worried about the casting of Mei Changsu. He has high popularity, image, temperament, acting skills and fit. In the domestic market, there are almost no young actors suitable for this role except Chu Xuan. No.

Renquan is the shareholder of the company, and it was not within their consideration at first.

As for Ren Quan, apart from being a little older, he fits the role of Mei Changsu in every way.

Now that Ren Quan has agreed, the casting process has not only progressed further, but in their minds, "Legend of Red Flame" may form an all-star lineup.
