Bright Era of China Entertainment
Chapter 535 Interviews with Each Personality
The next day, eight in the morning.
Under the clear sky, at the Shangri-La Hotel Plaza, commercial vehicles and vans turned from the avenue one after another.
There are a lot of vehicles, and the people who get off each take a camera or a microphone.
It seems that there is a lot of battle, all for the upcoming launch conference.
When the major media received the invitation letter from Brilliant Times some time ago, they were a little surprised.
A joint press conference for two dramas?This has never been done before.
The two dramas started at the same time, which means that the two dramas will be filmed at the same time, which also shows that Bright Times has launched two film and television projects at the same time.
This is rare in the film and television industry.
There are also a few companies that have the strength to launch two film and television projects at the same time, but except for Bright Times, those companies that have the strength to do so basically focus on the film industry.
It can only be said that in the current domestic TV industry, Brilliant Times, an entertainment company established less than three years ago, has become the most powerful existence.
The various media also understand the intention of Bright Times to hold a joint press conference. There will undoubtedly be a lot of topics to be publicized at that time, so as to increase the breadth and popularity of the publicity and make the drama more market-competitive.
"Zhen Huan's Biography", which has already exploded with great enthusiasm in public opinion, will definitely increase its popularity after the promotion of this press conference.
"Bright Era is about to produce another fire drama."
Many media are so emotional that they are very optimistic about the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Even if they don't know what it is about or the effect of the filming, but with this popularity, it is difficult not to be popular.
"Bright Times is rich and good at marketing, my dramas are no worse than theirs."
A few directors and producers on Weiyu were very indignant. Bright Times dramas became popular one after another, which made some people jealous, and the media laughed disdainfully when they saw this.
The market is like this, and there is no strength to engage in enthusiasm. Who is to blame?
The masses of the people determine the direction of the market, the direction of the market determines the development trend of TV stations, and the development trend of TV stations determines the direction of entertainment companies, production companies and brokerage companies to operate their works.
Don't understand marketing?Don't have the money to advertise?Still want a big fire?
First of all, you have to change the pursuit of many people, and secondly, let the TV stations not watch the popularity, and let there be no competition among the various companies, then no company will rack its brains to make the popularity.
This is also the development trend of the market, and as Internet interaction develops faster and faster, this trend will only intensify.
"Good guy, there are so many people!"
In the large conference hall of the hotel, people come and go, shoulder to shoulder, at least three to four hundred people.
The number of three or four hundred doesn't sound like much, but in the eyes of the media, it is already a broken record for an occasion like the launch conference.
Even if the two dramas were released jointly, 200 people would be enough, but I didn't expect that Bright Times would make a huge crowd.
As far as the eye can see, it is rare to see many celebrities in the circle, directors, screenwriters and other well-known figures on such occasions.
Thinking of the ignorance and inaction in the bright era of public opinion before, and looking at the current situation, is this a perfect interpretation of what it means to be low-key and high-key?
"Hi everyone, this way..."
Under the guidance of the venue staff, the media set up machines and adjusted the camera in each designated area.
The two walls of the venue were covered with posters, and there were roll-up banners in some unoccupied places of the venue. There were promotions of two dramas and some information introductions.
In the invitation letter they got, there was only a male, female, and a starring list to attract them. Seeing that the cast on the poster and roll-up was so comprehensive, the media also wandered around to shoot materials.
Among them, the promotional posters of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu are undoubtedly the ones that attracted the most attention from the media.
Many media did not expect that the hero and heroine of "Legend of Red Flame" are actually Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.
In the project plan form released long before the Brilliant Times, it was clearly stated that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were going to make a sci-fi movie, which was speculated by many to be the full version of "Hope".
When the media got the invitation letter to confirm the list, they realized that the news was just a smoke bomb for the time being. Before making a movie, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had to make a TV series.
Of course, this is also a surprise for the media.
How popular are Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi?After this public opinion, and the results of the Olympic torchbearers, the popularity of these two people may have gone to heaven.
Although there is no accurate thing to define popularity, in the eyes of many people, it is estimated that there are few people in this circle who can compare with them.
However, these two people abruptly made themselves look like celebrities.
Let’s talk about their high popularity, it can last for several months because they can’t be found in the news, even if there is any news, they don’t respond or pay attention.
To say that the popularity is low, as long as two people show up and respond to something, they will be sent to the hot search overnight.
In such a situation, it gives people the feeling of an old drama artist who only focuses on his works.
It is also the situation that makes it difficult for the media to get the current situation and news of these two people for a long time.
Now, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are about to appear at the press conference to announce their new works, which is also the biggest highlight to attract the media.
"Please calm down, the actors are about to enter the stage, thank you for your cooperation."
The host shouted, and the scene gradually quieted down.
The guests sitting in the chairs turned their heads and watched, while the media on both sides and in the aisle turned their cameras to prepare for the filming.
"Here we come." Someone yelled.
At the door, Zheng Xiaolong, the director of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and Kong Sheng, the director of "Legend of Red Flame", appeared, and the actors of the two plays walked in in twos and threes.
The actors of these two dramas are mixed together, it is really a joint press conference.
The media felt very fresh, and the spotlight flashed frequently in the venue.
"Sissy." Cheng Hao waved his hand. The guests here included many old friends, Yang Rui, Cheng Hao and other friends who met in the play, as well as Hu Jun, Xia Yu and other big brothers and sisters who came to join in the fun.
Chu Xuan greeted them with eyes, and Concubine Liu Yi waved and smiled slightly.
In the eyes of the media, the staff of the two dramas walked to the front and sat on both sides, and Zheng Xiaolong took the microphone in the hands of the staff. It seems that the crew of "Zhen Huan" should be interviewed first.
The cameras of the media turned to the stage set up in front, ready to shoot the interview screen of the crew.
The reporters and accompanying note-takers sat in line to continue, looking through the interview scripts prepared in advance, ready to conduct interviews at any time.
Unlike in the past when the press conference was launched, these reporters could swarm to the stage to interview the actors.
The rules given to them by Brilliant Times are very formal. During the interview, they can only sit in the designated area and wait for the roll call.
I was lucky enough to be selected, so I could get up and ask questions for an interview.
There is only one person interviewed each time, that is to say, the crew members are interviewed on stage one by one, not just a few in the past.
In this way, every actor can be exposed under the focused lens.
This is a good thing for the cast and crew, and the promotional angles of the whole show can also be diversified.
But in the eyes of the media, this is a bit anti-market. After all, the market pays more attention to the popular stars, and the less famous ones with low popularity are not worth reporting to them.
But if the Brilliant Era wanted to make such a regulation, they could only follow it, and at least they got a big red envelope from others.
People want to promote the drama in all aspects, and they will also reciprocate courtesy at that time, and help release more news. As for whether anyone will read the news about actors who are not popular enough, that is none of their business.
The actors of the crew and the invited guests gave a thumbs up. Bright Times did this and gave every actor respect. Unlike in the past, the lesser-known people had to stand aside. There were not many shots and interviews.
Such a move in Bright Times made the actors and guests present a little better.
Only those guests who know the general development route of Brilliant Times can understand the true intention of Brilliant Times to do so.
Brilliant Era needs to have a brand effect, not only in the audience market, but also in the entertainment circle.
Let every artist who cooperates with Brilliant Times feel comfortable and respected, and boost a wave of goodwill, which is enough to make Brilliant Times' network of human resources more stable and steadily expand.
It's a bit of a worldly thing, but the long-term effect is sure to be good.
Compared with the crews in other companies who may face suppression and exclusion, it will be better to remember the bright times at that time.
This is a subtle effect, and it may have an unexpected effect on the future development of the bright era.
"Start the interview now." The host finished the opening process, and Zheng Xiaolong stood alone on the stage, holding a microphone and waiting for the reporter's interview.
A reporter from Beijing Film and Television News was called by the host, got up and asked, "Director Zheng, what is the total investment for "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?"
"5500 million." Zheng Xiaolong replied.
Those present knew it well, and the reporter's entourage recorded the number in a notebook.
5500 million, seems to be the scale of a major drama, and there are not many TV drama crews in the country that can win such an investment.
However, this is a drama of the Brilliant Era. For the Brilliant Era that can continue to produce popular dramas, it is normal for investors to favor and invest a lot of money.
Some professionals are very curious. They don't know how much water is in the 5500 million miles, which means how much the sponsorship fee is.
The popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is so high, the cast is also good, and it is a drama of a bright era. The sponsorship fee must be quite a lot, but unfortunately this issue is a commercial secret, and they can't know it no matter how curious they are.
"1500 million?" Concubine Liu Yi whispered in Chu Xuan's ear.
Chu Xuan looked at her and nodded.
Concubine Liu Yi took a sip of the mineral water, and she knew it in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the sponsorship fee of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is 1500 million, which is quite high.
From this point of view, the actual investment of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is only 4000 million.
With the development of the company, the people in the financial and budget department are becoming more and more rigorous. Since the budget for the production of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is within 4000 million, if there are no accidents, the final funding will not exceed this figure.
In other words, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has paid back more than one-third of its cost.
The company invested 1500 million, accounting for 50% of the shares, and immediately recovered 750 million.
Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help but feel that if the drama is popular and the popularity of the actors is high, it is good to make money. With the development of this trend, in order to get back the cost as soon as possible and reduce the risk, I am afraid that the situation of bringing money into the crew will become the norm in the future.
It would be fine if the actors who brought money into the group were excellent, otherwise, there would be fewer and fewer excellent works.
"With such an amount of investment, what expectations does Director Zheng have for this drama?" the reporter asked.
"Some things happened some time ago, which made the audience have high expectations for this drama. Of course, I also want to make a good enough work to live up to the audience's expectations. There are a group of excellent actors, which makes me More confident." Zheng Xiaolong said.
In the public opinion incident, the topic of Zhang Nala or Sun Li who is more suitable for Zhen Huan was popular all over the Internet at that time, and everyone knew it.
Many netizens participated in the debate, and for this reason they even went to history books to prove their ideas, which is quite awesome.
Now the public opinion has been completely closed, but such topics and discussions continued from "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are still active on the Internet.
The high enthusiasm caused by Chu Xuan's decision made Zhang Xiaolong both happy and bitter. The happy thing is that his work is likely to become popular, and the hard thing is that it also puts him under a lot of pressure. If you are scolded to death by the audience, you will also be laughed at by your peers.
The popularity of the drama is so high, it has attracted the attention of the whole network, and it has also spread all over the country offline, and finally rushed?
This director is so good, the filming is so broken.
Zhang Xiaolong is under a lot of pressure, but in turn, it is also an excellent opportunity to improve his qualifications.
"Director Zheng, why did you choose Chen Jianbing to play the role of Yongzheng? I personally don't have any opinion on Mr. Chen, but I can't imagine the connection between Mr. Chen's image and Emperor Yongzheng?"
As soon as this question came up, everyone's eyes wandered around the venue, and finally locked on Chen Jianbing.
This question was sharp enough. Even if the reporter excused himself with a few words, he still didn't give Chen Jianbing any face.
There is only one meaning inside and outside the words, Chen Jianbing is not suitable to play Emperor Yongzheng.
Cai Shaofen and Jiang Xin glanced at Chen Jianbing from left to right. Although Chen Jianbing had a smile on his face, there was still a little bit of unhappiness in his heart.
Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi followed Ren Quan and the others to look at Chen Jianbing, the corners of their mouths gradually raised, and they looked up at Zheng Xiaolong, wanting to hear his answer.
Chu Xuan knew a little bit about it. At the stage before the casting of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the matter of who would play Yong Zheng caused controversy among the director team.
Speaking of the emperor, not only the audience, but also the teachers in the crew immediately thought of two people, Chen Baoguo and Chen Daoming.
The image of the emperor of these two teachers is too profound, and the aura of their gestures is also in line with people's imagination and perception of the emperor.
It just so happens that Chen Daoming is also from the Brilliant Times, so it is possible to invite him to play Yongzheng.
With Chen Daoming in charge of this drama, I think there is a certain guarantee in terms of quality.
At the very beginning, the director team locked in a few candidates, the first was Chen Daoming, the second was Chen Baoguo, and the third was Wu Xiubo.
The teachers never thought about Chen Jianbing.
But Zheng Xiaolong didn't think so. He firmly believed that Chen Jianbing was more suitable than anyone else to play Yongzheng in this play.
There is only one reason. In Zheng Xiaolong's artistic concept after digging through the script, he wanted to play the role of Yongzheng with an image that is not very pleasing to the emperor.
This made the teachers in the director's group look confused. In other dramas, they try to find as likable actors as possible. When it comes to you, it's the other way around. If you want to find an unlikable image as the male lead, do you ask for such a novelty?
Zheng Xiaolong is both a director and a producer, he has the greatest power, and he can't hold him back. In the end, Zheng Xiaolong made a final decision.
The teachers didn't understand, but he did. After he told Concubine Liu Yi, Concubine Liu Yi also understood.
It is estimated that he and Liu Yifei are the people who understand Zheng Xiaolong's decision best.
When casting for "Zhu Xian", he and Concubine Liu insisted that Huang Xuan play Zhang Xiaofan. The teachers said that the male lead was handsome and good-looking, but he and Concubine Liu were not. They were very firm in matching actors based on the characters after understanding the script.
This artistic cognition and thinking are very similar to Zheng Xiaolong's. You have to look at the market and the audience's preferences, which runs counter to my philosophy.
If a truly excellent producer and director can make the market follow my preferences, that would be awesome!
"In this drama, Chen Jianbing is the most suitable actor for Yongzheng, bar none." Zheng Xiaolong said.
Everyone present was startled, they didn't expect Zheng Xiaolong to speak so absolutely.
With a "wow", everyone applauded. As a well-known director, Zheng Xiaolong must have his own persistence. Such a sloppy speech at least proves that Zheng Xiaolong is very firm in his artistic philosophy. This heart is precious Yes, and will not be easily swayed by others.
Chen Jianbing smiled and applauded heavily. He has qualifications, but in terms of popularity and popularity, he is not as good as Cai Shaofen, or even Jiang Xin, who rose to the top due to "Struggle" and "Zhu Xian".
In the current market that values popularity more and more, as an aging actor who doesn't care about popularity, it is a great honor for him to be recognized by the director in public.
After asking a few more questions about the show, Zheng Xiaolong walked off the stage, and it was Sun Li's turn to be interviewed.
"Sun Li, you were recommended by Chu Xuan to join the group. Many people say that you have the opportunity to play the heroine of this show because of this relationship. What do you say about that?"
The people present were stunned for a moment, each question was more tricky than the last, and this kind of situation rarely happened before.
This is still a reporter who received a red envelope, what's going on?
Is it because the market has changed, and the audience loves to watch these?
After experiencing the public opinion incident some time ago, some people suddenly discovered that in order to cater to the market, the media's interview trend has gone to extremes.
Sun Li felt uncomfortable, and no one would be upset if she was said that. She thought for a while, and smiled at Chu Xuan in the audience.
"Chu Xuan called me and said that he would audition for the cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" when he was free. I was very excited to get an audition opportunity as an actor."
"I didn't expect that Chu Xuan recommended the role of a queen like Zhen Huan."
Sun Li looked down at her figure, and said, "Look at my body, petite and weak, to play the queen? I have doubts about myself. Is it because the authorities are obsessed with making me unaware of my potential in this area, or is it Chu Xuan? Is there something wrong with your eyesight?"
The people present smiled and looked at Chu Xuan in the front row. Sun Li's answer was quite interesting.
"But it's not right." Sun Li said to the public: "Huang Xuan is so suitable as Zhang Xiaofan, Zhao Liying is also very suitable as Baguio, and Jiang Xin is also very good as Jin Ping'er. There was "Struggle" before and "Zhu Xian", Chu Xuan Just fiddle with my golden finger, look at these people now..."
"There's nothing wrong with Chu Xuan's eyesight."
"I went to the audition with such an idea. It turns out that I lack serious self-awareness about myself. I never thought that I could take such a route."
"The actors who were called by Chu Xuan on the phone have all found their own acting direction. I think my strength is not inferior to them, and I am the first queen under Chu Xuan's golden finger, right?"
"It's a pretty high start and I feel like I'm going to take off."
"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone applauded for Sun Li's speech.
In the face of the reporter's difficulties, Sun Li not only answered the question directly, but also had a very humorous speech, which made people ignore the explosive point of this question.
Elevating the people who were taken by Chu Xuan, and at the same time saying that he is not weaker than these people, but not comparing with Chu Xuan, which puts Chu Xuan in a very high position.
Such an answer is perfect.
Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi applauded, and it was the first time they discovered that Sun Li had such a side. Although they played crazy in their normal interactions, they still tended to be normal when they talked. The one who was really funny was Deng Chao.
Probably influenced by Deng Chao, Sun Li also has a sense of humor.
"It's so funny." Concubine Liu Yi blinked, and said: "But sister Li is right, your golden finger is really good, you can set someone on fire, entertainment godfather?"
The godfather of entertainment?What the hell... Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Then you are also a godmother."
Concubine Liu Yi smiled, said nothing more, and turned her head to look at the stage with Chu Xuan.
Sun Li answered a few questions about the characters, walked off the stage and passed by Cai Shaofen.
The reporters are still very interested in this actress from Xiangjiang.
But I didn't expect that before the actress could ask any questions, she picked up the microphone and blew herself up: "Let me refute what Sun Li said just now. I am the first queen under Chu Xuan's golden finger, and she is the second." .”
The hundreds of people present were stunned. They looked at Sun Li who had returned to his seat, looked at Cai Shaofen in the stands, understood Gangpu, and recalled what Sun Li said just now...
There were "puchi" sounds from everywhere, and the smile that had just been suppressed was raised again.
Zhang Jin, who was in the audience, smiled wryly, feeling ashamed for his wife, and they didn't ask you, why did you speak out on your own initiative.
Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi lowered their heads, overjoyed.
"Why was she being beaten, why did she say this?" Concubine Liu Yi couldn't understand, but was made extremely funny.
Chu Xuan shook his head, too happy to speak.
"As soon as she opened her mouth after being beaten, the whole atmosphere changed." Concubine Liu Yi laughed so hard that her stomach ached and she was very uncomfortable.
The host called a reporter.
"Cai Shaofen, are you also recommended by Chu Xuan?" The reporter asked, if Cai Shaofen hadn't said it, no one would have thought of this question, but Cai Shaofen blew himself up, which made them even more unexpected.
Sister, we didn't even ask you, why are you so proactive?
I have to compete with Sun Li for the first and second, what the hell is this?
Compete for Chu girl?
It's funny because Cai Shaofen is inexplicable, no one can understand her points, and with her accent, the audience doesn't know what they are laughing at, but it is very funny.
"Yes." Cai Shaofen replied.
Zhang Jin understands that Cai Shaofen's self-explosion is probably to pay back favors, and she came here to praise Chu Xuan, but you are in too much hurry, so you can't wait for the reporter to ask questions and intersperse it?
As Concubine Liu Yi said, the atmosphere changed as soon as Cai Shaofen's accent came out, from "talk show" to "funny variety show" in an instant.
Cantonese could be used to answer a few questions, and the reporters present could not understand, and there were many Xiangjiang media present. Well, Cai Shaofen just wanted to use Mandarin.
Her Mandarin is difficult to listen to, and the pronunciation of each word is turning. The very ordinary Hong Kong Pu is different, very unique and full of personality.
During her interview, the whole room was laughing, which was really funny.
"Does she also have this accent when acting?" Chen Jianbing had a bad feeling.
Sun Li was originally happy, but when he heard Chen Jianbing's words, his face collapsed immediately: "It's over, I will be NG countless times for filming with her."
The corners of Chen Jianbing's mouth twitched, and he spoke his lines with this accent. If he didn't laugh, he was definitely a cold-blooded animal.
"Let her speak Cantonese when the time comes." He decided to give advice to the director, which was really unbearable.
"Good idea, let's do it like this." Sun Li and Chen Jianbing hit it off immediately.
Cai Shaofen's interview ended, and the actors of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" came on stage one after another. I wonder if Cai Shaofen's power is too great, and the people present are still unable to come out of her interview atmosphere for a long time.
That Hong Kong, that accent, is simply a magic voice, which makes people unforgettable for a while, and they always think of it involuntarily, and they want to laugh when they think of it.
It wasn't until the interview session of the crew of "Legend of Red Flame" that the director Kong Sheng came on stage, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually showed signs of easing up.
"Director Kong, how much is the investment in Legend of Red Flame?" the reporter asked.
I don't know why, for the TV series of Brilliant Times, there are always reporters who like to ask the investment as the first question at the launch conference, which is rare at the press conferences of other dramas.
It is estimated that the dramas of the Brilliant Era have a lot of investment, and the dramas are all popular again. Ask the investment to evaluate the market?
"6000 million." Kong Sheng said.
so much? ... Everyone was surprised, this is almost catching up with "Zhu Xian".
"Zhu Xian" is a fairy drama after all, but "Legend of Red Flame" is a suspenseful conspiracy, so much money?
"There must be a lot of water in it." Many people think so.
"It's also 1500 million." Concubine Liu Yi muttered in her heart, but she learned more about the drama she made from Chu Xuan.
Subtracting the sponsorship fee of 1500 million, the actual investment is 4500 million.
Like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the company only invested 1500 million, but only accounted for 45% of the shares.
Like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which is a costume drama, the reason why the investment in "Legend of Red Flame" is a bit more is that Chu Xuan's role is concentrated on the battlefield, and the cost here is a bit high.
For example, special effects such as thousands of troops, formation of troops, and the cost of a group of special actors at Gansu Film and Television City.
The group performances in the battlefield scenes must be equestrian, which is different from ordinary group performances. The crew specially invited some experts who are good at equestrianism to be special group performances in NMG and other places. The daily salary is much higher than that of ordinary group performances. many.
It is also necessary to teach Chu Xuan, Ren Quan and other actors equestrian skills, such as bow riding, horse jumping and other skills, which will also cost a lot of tuition.
It is also a big expense to rent out a few hundred horses that are controllable.
"Chu Xuan, you play Lin Shu as a marshal and a young general. This is another type of role you have never played before. In previous interviews, you also said that you want to try different roles. You can stick to this original intention. It deserves respect," the reporter said.
Everyone raised their eyebrows. Is it so polite to interview Chu Xuan?
Sure enough, any industry still depends on status, and the same is true for the exposed entertainment industry.
After going through this public opinion, with the official rectification of their names and the honor of being an Olympic torchbearer, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi's positions are different from before. Even the media dare not offend them, probably because they are afraid of making random reports about Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi The stuff was done by the authorities.
It is still doubtful whether the officials are supporting the two behind their backs, but no matter whether they are suspicious or not, who would dare to try to provoke Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi again?
What if there is indeed an official behind it?
Do not provoke, live in peace.
If you provoke, it may be over.
Normal people will choose the former.
"From my perspective, it seems that no actor under the age of 30 has ever played a general in an inland costume drama. This will make the audience feel unimpressed. Maybe the general is a middle-aged image in the eyes of the audience. What do you think about this?" the reporter asked.
"There has never been one, but it doesn't mean he can't exist." Chu Xuan said succinctly.
The hundreds of people present were stunned, what do you mean by saying that you want to be No.1?
The corners of some people's mouths are slightly raised, which is really handsome.
The media present at the scene are all rooted in the industry for many years. Working in this industry also requires an understanding of the interview style of each star.
Many reporters have a feeling that Chu Xuan has changed a lot, and they don't know if it is an illusion.
I still remember "Tianlong" and "Male Talents and Women" in 03, "New Police Story" and "Sword" in 04, including the interview in "Sculpture"...
Chu Xuan can play haha, make jokes, and play with emotional intelligence.
No matter how he interviewed Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan tried his best to keep himself low-key, and there was never a situation like this where people don't talk too much, giving people a feeling of showing their sharpness.
The former Chu Xuan was very sophisticated, both internally and externally. He was young but mentally mature, not like a young man.
The current Chu Xuan's just one sentence broke their established impression of Chu Xuan. This is a 23-year-old young man in a high position. He finally gave people a feeling of enthusiasm. The previous Chu Xuan It is estimated that he was trained by Wang Jinhua to pretend to be calm.
Concubine Liu Yi smiled slightly, looked at Chu Xuan on the stage, and heard his reply, such an attitude was indeed something that Chu Xuan did not have before.
If it was the former Chu Xuan, he would definitely say that I will work hard or something.
It sounds very modest, but she knew that Chu Xuan was pretending.
But now, Chu Xuan's state seems to have changed.
She couldn't tell what the change was, but it vaguely coincided with a sentence her mother said unintentionally: "You are getting more and more mature, but Chu Xuan feels younger and younger, assimilating to each other?"
This maturity and youth refer to the state, not to dealing with people.
She feels that this is also quite good, at least when she gets along with Chu Xuan, because of the different changes between the two, there will be different tastes of love.
"You and Concubine Liu have been partners in many dramas, and this drama seems to be like this again. Will you worry about the audience's visual fatigue because of this? Or will you change your acting route in the future?" the reporter asked.
"We play our show, the audience watches the audience's show, and watch other plays if they are tired. There is no need to waste time on our play or give any opinions on the Internet. You have your life, we have our pursuit, and we I am only responsible for how to play the role well, and don’t care about other things.” Chu Xuan said.
"Wow--" sounded, and there was a round of applause in the venue.
The guests present were a little impressed. Chu Xuan was really free and easy, and also very pure, pursuing his pursuit wholeheartedly.
I play my stuff, I do my stuff, if you don't like it, leave, it's that simple.
I don't ask for help, and I don't ask fans to cheer for me. I just need to do what I have to do, and the rest will take its course.
"Concubine Liu Yi, Princess Nihuang is a marshal, a role you have never played before, and a starring role that has never appeared in the market. Judging by your age compared with a marshal, there seems to be a gap , what do you think?" the reporter asked.
Concubine Liu Yi was just about to answer a question when she accidentally saw the logo on the reporter's microphone and asked, "Have you interviewed me before? At the coming-of-age ceremony."
The female reporter was stunned, she didn't expect Concubine Liu Yi to have such a good memory, she nodded and said with a smile: "You have a good memory, yes."
Concubine Liu Yi saw that her memory was correct, and some fragments of memories came to her mind, she said: "The main thing is that what you said at that time made me remember deeply. You said that I was 18 years old but looked like 28 years old. According to the ancient times, the average age was only 30 or so. In the current situation, I think it is quite appropriate for me to play a marshal at the age of 28."
Returning to his seat, Chu Xuan, who had just sat down, raised his hands and clapped his hands.
The people present also applauded Concubine Liu Yi's answer, this linked answer was wonderful.
The reporter smiled and shook his head. Concubine Liu Yi's interview style was still unpredictable, but this time she was even conquered.
"Can you answer the question I asked Chu Xuan just now?" the reporter asked.
Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows and thought about it, would she worry about the audience's visual fatigue if she and Chu Xuan have been acting as partners?
Concubine Liu Yi said to Chu Xuan who was off the stage: "What he answered was my opinion. I have nothing to say. This is also our common pursuit. If one day our works are lonely due to the visual fatigue of the audience, then Just be lonely together."
Everyone really didn't expect that they could still eat a wave of dog food at a launch conference.
They clapped their hands, looked at Chu Xuan, and then at Concubine Liu Yi. This "national couple" could be considered to be a true love.
"I don't think so." The female reporter said flatly: "After this brief interview, I think we need to re-examine your charm, and the audience don't want to miss your unique existence in the film and television industry."
"Thank you." Concubine Liu Yi said happily.
After answering a few more questions, Liu Yifei's interview ended.
After returning to their seats and sitting down, she and Chu Xuan looked at each other and smiled. The tacit understanding and spiritual communication between the two no longer required too many words to express their inner feelings.
Watching some actors of "Legend of Red Flame" come to the stage for interviews one after another, some of the lesser-known actors probably made preparations in advance.
At such a large-scale press conference, the company and agent behind it should all attach great importance to being able to get the opportunity to appear alone.
Some people's witty remarks and ingenious answers were so wonderful that the audience gave them applause or laughter, and also attracted the attention of the people present and media reporters.
This is also the magical effect of the bright era's rules. When you are given the opportunity to appear on camera, you have to accept it.
This is the company using its own money to help you promote. Although the publicity is just incidental, at least I did this, and other companies would not do this.
So who is good and who is bad, or who is good and who is better, this is a well-known thing.
If the company needs your support in the future, will you help?
This is also the goal that Bright Times wants to achieve.
The official side needs a golden body, the capital needs a golden body, and the artist's network can also create a golden body.
It is only now that we have started from today's press conference, and there is a long way to go.
The joint press conference of the two crews will naturally take a little longer. After the actors took a group photo on stage, it didn't end until two o'clock in the afternoon.
We are about to leave soon, and everyone will have a taste of it at the opening banquet.
Without the wine to add to the fun, the jubilant atmosphere is a little less, but the mood is also exciting and looking forward to the approaching filming.
At the beginning of three o'clock in the afternoon, the crews of the two crews packed their luggage in the hotel room and went downstairs.
Witnessed by the guests who left the venue and the media, a convoy of commercial vehicles, buses and nanny cars drove to the airport. (end of this chapter)
Under the clear sky, at the Shangri-La Hotel Plaza, commercial vehicles and vans turned from the avenue one after another.
There are a lot of vehicles, and the people who get off each take a camera or a microphone.
It seems that there is a lot of battle, all for the upcoming launch conference.
When the major media received the invitation letter from Brilliant Times some time ago, they were a little surprised.
A joint press conference for two dramas?This has never been done before.
The two dramas started at the same time, which means that the two dramas will be filmed at the same time, which also shows that Bright Times has launched two film and television projects at the same time.
This is rare in the film and television industry.
There are also a few companies that have the strength to launch two film and television projects at the same time, but except for Bright Times, those companies that have the strength to do so basically focus on the film industry.
It can only be said that in the current domestic TV industry, Brilliant Times, an entertainment company established less than three years ago, has become the most powerful existence.
The various media also understand the intention of Bright Times to hold a joint press conference. There will undoubtedly be a lot of topics to be publicized at that time, so as to increase the breadth and popularity of the publicity and make the drama more market-competitive.
"Zhen Huan's Biography", which has already exploded with great enthusiasm in public opinion, will definitely increase its popularity after the promotion of this press conference.
"Bright Era is about to produce another fire drama."
Many media are so emotional that they are very optimistic about the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Even if they don't know what it is about or the effect of the filming, but with this popularity, it is difficult not to be popular.
"Bright Times is rich and good at marketing, my dramas are no worse than theirs."
A few directors and producers on Weiyu were very indignant. Bright Times dramas became popular one after another, which made some people jealous, and the media laughed disdainfully when they saw this.
The market is like this, and there is no strength to engage in enthusiasm. Who is to blame?
The masses of the people determine the direction of the market, the direction of the market determines the development trend of TV stations, and the development trend of TV stations determines the direction of entertainment companies, production companies and brokerage companies to operate their works.
Don't understand marketing?Don't have the money to advertise?Still want a big fire?
First of all, you have to change the pursuit of many people, and secondly, let the TV stations not watch the popularity, and let there be no competition among the various companies, then no company will rack its brains to make the popularity.
This is also the development trend of the market, and as Internet interaction develops faster and faster, this trend will only intensify.
"Good guy, there are so many people!"
In the large conference hall of the hotel, people come and go, shoulder to shoulder, at least three to four hundred people.
The number of three or four hundred doesn't sound like much, but in the eyes of the media, it is already a broken record for an occasion like the launch conference.
Even if the two dramas were released jointly, 200 people would be enough, but I didn't expect that Bright Times would make a huge crowd.
As far as the eye can see, it is rare to see many celebrities in the circle, directors, screenwriters and other well-known figures on such occasions.
Thinking of the ignorance and inaction in the bright era of public opinion before, and looking at the current situation, is this a perfect interpretation of what it means to be low-key and high-key?
"Hi everyone, this way..."
Under the guidance of the venue staff, the media set up machines and adjusted the camera in each designated area.
The two walls of the venue were covered with posters, and there were roll-up banners in some unoccupied places of the venue. There were promotions of two dramas and some information introductions.
In the invitation letter they got, there was only a male, female, and a starring list to attract them. Seeing that the cast on the poster and roll-up was so comprehensive, the media also wandered around to shoot materials.
Among them, the promotional posters of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu are undoubtedly the ones that attracted the most attention from the media.
Many media did not expect that the hero and heroine of "Legend of Red Flame" are actually Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.
In the project plan form released long before the Brilliant Times, it was clearly stated that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were going to make a sci-fi movie, which was speculated by many to be the full version of "Hope".
When the media got the invitation letter to confirm the list, they realized that the news was just a smoke bomb for the time being. Before making a movie, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had to make a TV series.
Of course, this is also a surprise for the media.
How popular are Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi?After this public opinion, and the results of the Olympic torchbearers, the popularity of these two people may have gone to heaven.
Although there is no accurate thing to define popularity, in the eyes of many people, it is estimated that there are few people in this circle who can compare with them.
However, these two people abruptly made themselves look like celebrities.
Let’s talk about their high popularity, it can last for several months because they can’t be found in the news, even if there is any news, they don’t respond or pay attention.
To say that the popularity is low, as long as two people show up and respond to something, they will be sent to the hot search overnight.
In such a situation, it gives people the feeling of an old drama artist who only focuses on his works.
It is also the situation that makes it difficult for the media to get the current situation and news of these two people for a long time.
Now, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are about to appear at the press conference to announce their new works, which is also the biggest highlight to attract the media.
"Please calm down, the actors are about to enter the stage, thank you for your cooperation."
The host shouted, and the scene gradually quieted down.
The guests sitting in the chairs turned their heads and watched, while the media on both sides and in the aisle turned their cameras to prepare for the filming.
"Here we come." Someone yelled.
At the door, Zheng Xiaolong, the director of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and Kong Sheng, the director of "Legend of Red Flame", appeared, and the actors of the two plays walked in in twos and threes.
The actors of these two dramas are mixed together, it is really a joint press conference.
The media felt very fresh, and the spotlight flashed frequently in the venue.
"Sissy." Cheng Hao waved his hand. The guests here included many old friends, Yang Rui, Cheng Hao and other friends who met in the play, as well as Hu Jun, Xia Yu and other big brothers and sisters who came to join in the fun.
Chu Xuan greeted them with eyes, and Concubine Liu Yi waved and smiled slightly.
In the eyes of the media, the staff of the two dramas walked to the front and sat on both sides, and Zheng Xiaolong took the microphone in the hands of the staff. It seems that the crew of "Zhen Huan" should be interviewed first.
The cameras of the media turned to the stage set up in front, ready to shoot the interview screen of the crew.
The reporters and accompanying note-takers sat in line to continue, looking through the interview scripts prepared in advance, ready to conduct interviews at any time.
Unlike in the past when the press conference was launched, these reporters could swarm to the stage to interview the actors.
The rules given to them by Brilliant Times are very formal. During the interview, they can only sit in the designated area and wait for the roll call.
I was lucky enough to be selected, so I could get up and ask questions for an interview.
There is only one person interviewed each time, that is to say, the crew members are interviewed on stage one by one, not just a few in the past.
In this way, every actor can be exposed under the focused lens.
This is a good thing for the cast and crew, and the promotional angles of the whole show can also be diversified.
But in the eyes of the media, this is a bit anti-market. After all, the market pays more attention to the popular stars, and the less famous ones with low popularity are not worth reporting to them.
But if the Brilliant Era wanted to make such a regulation, they could only follow it, and at least they got a big red envelope from others.
People want to promote the drama in all aspects, and they will also reciprocate courtesy at that time, and help release more news. As for whether anyone will read the news about actors who are not popular enough, that is none of their business.
The actors of the crew and the invited guests gave a thumbs up. Bright Times did this and gave every actor respect. Unlike in the past, the lesser-known people had to stand aside. There were not many shots and interviews.
Such a move in Bright Times made the actors and guests present a little better.
Only those guests who know the general development route of Brilliant Times can understand the true intention of Brilliant Times to do so.
Brilliant Era needs to have a brand effect, not only in the audience market, but also in the entertainment circle.
Let every artist who cooperates with Brilliant Times feel comfortable and respected, and boost a wave of goodwill, which is enough to make Brilliant Times' network of human resources more stable and steadily expand.
It's a bit of a worldly thing, but the long-term effect is sure to be good.
Compared with the crews in other companies who may face suppression and exclusion, it will be better to remember the bright times at that time.
This is a subtle effect, and it may have an unexpected effect on the future development of the bright era.
"Start the interview now." The host finished the opening process, and Zheng Xiaolong stood alone on the stage, holding a microphone and waiting for the reporter's interview.
A reporter from Beijing Film and Television News was called by the host, got up and asked, "Director Zheng, what is the total investment for "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?"
"5500 million." Zheng Xiaolong replied.
Those present knew it well, and the reporter's entourage recorded the number in a notebook.
5500 million, seems to be the scale of a major drama, and there are not many TV drama crews in the country that can win such an investment.
However, this is a drama of the Brilliant Era. For the Brilliant Era that can continue to produce popular dramas, it is normal for investors to favor and invest a lot of money.
Some professionals are very curious. They don't know how much water is in the 5500 million miles, which means how much the sponsorship fee is.
The popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is so high, the cast is also good, and it is a drama of a bright era. The sponsorship fee must be quite a lot, but unfortunately this issue is a commercial secret, and they can't know it no matter how curious they are.
"1500 million?" Concubine Liu Yi whispered in Chu Xuan's ear.
Chu Xuan looked at her and nodded.
Concubine Liu Yi took a sip of the mineral water, and she knew it in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the sponsorship fee of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is 1500 million, which is quite high.
From this point of view, the actual investment of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is only 4000 million.
With the development of the company, the people in the financial and budget department are becoming more and more rigorous. Since the budget for the production of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is within 4000 million, if there are no accidents, the final funding will not exceed this figure.
In other words, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has paid back more than one-third of its cost.
The company invested 1500 million, accounting for 50% of the shares, and immediately recovered 750 million.
Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help but feel that if the drama is popular and the popularity of the actors is high, it is good to make money. With the development of this trend, in order to get back the cost as soon as possible and reduce the risk, I am afraid that the situation of bringing money into the crew will become the norm in the future.
It would be fine if the actors who brought money into the group were excellent, otherwise, there would be fewer and fewer excellent works.
"With such an amount of investment, what expectations does Director Zheng have for this drama?" the reporter asked.
"Some things happened some time ago, which made the audience have high expectations for this drama. Of course, I also want to make a good enough work to live up to the audience's expectations. There are a group of excellent actors, which makes me More confident." Zheng Xiaolong said.
In the public opinion incident, the topic of Zhang Nala or Sun Li who is more suitable for Zhen Huan was popular all over the Internet at that time, and everyone knew it.
Many netizens participated in the debate, and for this reason they even went to history books to prove their ideas, which is quite awesome.
Now the public opinion has been completely closed, but such topics and discussions continued from "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are still active on the Internet.
The high enthusiasm caused by Chu Xuan's decision made Zhang Xiaolong both happy and bitter. The happy thing is that his work is likely to become popular, and the hard thing is that it also puts him under a lot of pressure. If you are scolded to death by the audience, you will also be laughed at by your peers.
The popularity of the drama is so high, it has attracted the attention of the whole network, and it has also spread all over the country offline, and finally rushed?
This director is so good, the filming is so broken.
Zhang Xiaolong is under a lot of pressure, but in turn, it is also an excellent opportunity to improve his qualifications.
"Director Zheng, why did you choose Chen Jianbing to play the role of Yongzheng? I personally don't have any opinion on Mr. Chen, but I can't imagine the connection between Mr. Chen's image and Emperor Yongzheng?"
As soon as this question came up, everyone's eyes wandered around the venue, and finally locked on Chen Jianbing.
This question was sharp enough. Even if the reporter excused himself with a few words, he still didn't give Chen Jianbing any face.
There is only one meaning inside and outside the words, Chen Jianbing is not suitable to play Emperor Yongzheng.
Cai Shaofen and Jiang Xin glanced at Chen Jianbing from left to right. Although Chen Jianbing had a smile on his face, there was still a little bit of unhappiness in his heart.
Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi followed Ren Quan and the others to look at Chen Jianbing, the corners of their mouths gradually raised, and they looked up at Zheng Xiaolong, wanting to hear his answer.
Chu Xuan knew a little bit about it. At the stage before the casting of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the matter of who would play Yong Zheng caused controversy among the director team.
Speaking of the emperor, not only the audience, but also the teachers in the crew immediately thought of two people, Chen Baoguo and Chen Daoming.
The image of the emperor of these two teachers is too profound, and the aura of their gestures is also in line with people's imagination and perception of the emperor.
It just so happens that Chen Daoming is also from the Brilliant Times, so it is possible to invite him to play Yongzheng.
With Chen Daoming in charge of this drama, I think there is a certain guarantee in terms of quality.
At the very beginning, the director team locked in a few candidates, the first was Chen Daoming, the second was Chen Baoguo, and the third was Wu Xiubo.
The teachers never thought about Chen Jianbing.
But Zheng Xiaolong didn't think so. He firmly believed that Chen Jianbing was more suitable than anyone else to play Yongzheng in this play.
There is only one reason. In Zheng Xiaolong's artistic concept after digging through the script, he wanted to play the role of Yongzheng with an image that is not very pleasing to the emperor.
This made the teachers in the director's group look confused. In other dramas, they try to find as likable actors as possible. When it comes to you, it's the other way around. If you want to find an unlikable image as the male lead, do you ask for such a novelty?
Zheng Xiaolong is both a director and a producer, he has the greatest power, and he can't hold him back. In the end, Zheng Xiaolong made a final decision.
The teachers didn't understand, but he did. After he told Concubine Liu Yi, Concubine Liu Yi also understood.
It is estimated that he and Liu Yifei are the people who understand Zheng Xiaolong's decision best.
When casting for "Zhu Xian", he and Concubine Liu insisted that Huang Xuan play Zhang Xiaofan. The teachers said that the male lead was handsome and good-looking, but he and Concubine Liu were not. They were very firm in matching actors based on the characters after understanding the script.
This artistic cognition and thinking are very similar to Zheng Xiaolong's. You have to look at the market and the audience's preferences, which runs counter to my philosophy.
If a truly excellent producer and director can make the market follow my preferences, that would be awesome!
"In this drama, Chen Jianbing is the most suitable actor for Yongzheng, bar none." Zheng Xiaolong said.
Everyone present was startled, they didn't expect Zheng Xiaolong to speak so absolutely.
With a "wow", everyone applauded. As a well-known director, Zheng Xiaolong must have his own persistence. Such a sloppy speech at least proves that Zheng Xiaolong is very firm in his artistic philosophy. This heart is precious Yes, and will not be easily swayed by others.
Chen Jianbing smiled and applauded heavily. He has qualifications, but in terms of popularity and popularity, he is not as good as Cai Shaofen, or even Jiang Xin, who rose to the top due to "Struggle" and "Zhu Xian".
In the current market that values popularity more and more, as an aging actor who doesn't care about popularity, it is a great honor for him to be recognized by the director in public.
After asking a few more questions about the show, Zheng Xiaolong walked off the stage, and it was Sun Li's turn to be interviewed.
"Sun Li, you were recommended by Chu Xuan to join the group. Many people say that you have the opportunity to play the heroine of this show because of this relationship. What do you say about that?"
The people present were stunned for a moment, each question was more tricky than the last, and this kind of situation rarely happened before.
This is still a reporter who received a red envelope, what's going on?
Is it because the market has changed, and the audience loves to watch these?
After experiencing the public opinion incident some time ago, some people suddenly discovered that in order to cater to the market, the media's interview trend has gone to extremes.
Sun Li felt uncomfortable, and no one would be upset if she was said that. She thought for a while, and smiled at Chu Xuan in the audience.
"Chu Xuan called me and said that he would audition for the cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" when he was free. I was very excited to get an audition opportunity as an actor."
"I didn't expect that Chu Xuan recommended the role of a queen like Zhen Huan."
Sun Li looked down at her figure, and said, "Look at my body, petite and weak, to play the queen? I have doubts about myself. Is it because the authorities are obsessed with making me unaware of my potential in this area, or is it Chu Xuan? Is there something wrong with your eyesight?"
The people present smiled and looked at Chu Xuan in the front row. Sun Li's answer was quite interesting.
"But it's not right." Sun Li said to the public: "Huang Xuan is so suitable as Zhang Xiaofan, Zhao Liying is also very suitable as Baguio, and Jiang Xin is also very good as Jin Ping'er. There was "Struggle" before and "Zhu Xian", Chu Xuan Just fiddle with my golden finger, look at these people now..."
"There's nothing wrong with Chu Xuan's eyesight."
"I went to the audition with such an idea. It turns out that I lack serious self-awareness about myself. I never thought that I could take such a route."
"The actors who were called by Chu Xuan on the phone have all found their own acting direction. I think my strength is not inferior to them, and I am the first queen under Chu Xuan's golden finger, right?"
"It's a pretty high start and I feel like I'm going to take off."
"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone applauded for Sun Li's speech.
In the face of the reporter's difficulties, Sun Li not only answered the question directly, but also had a very humorous speech, which made people ignore the explosive point of this question.
Elevating the people who were taken by Chu Xuan, and at the same time saying that he is not weaker than these people, but not comparing with Chu Xuan, which puts Chu Xuan in a very high position.
Such an answer is perfect.
Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi applauded, and it was the first time they discovered that Sun Li had such a side. Although they played crazy in their normal interactions, they still tended to be normal when they talked. The one who was really funny was Deng Chao.
Probably influenced by Deng Chao, Sun Li also has a sense of humor.
"It's so funny." Concubine Liu Yi blinked, and said: "But sister Li is right, your golden finger is really good, you can set someone on fire, entertainment godfather?"
The godfather of entertainment?What the hell... Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Then you are also a godmother."
Concubine Liu Yi smiled, said nothing more, and turned her head to look at the stage with Chu Xuan.
Sun Li answered a few questions about the characters, walked off the stage and passed by Cai Shaofen.
The reporters are still very interested in this actress from Xiangjiang.
But I didn't expect that before the actress could ask any questions, she picked up the microphone and blew herself up: "Let me refute what Sun Li said just now. I am the first queen under Chu Xuan's golden finger, and she is the second." .”
The hundreds of people present were stunned. They looked at Sun Li who had returned to his seat, looked at Cai Shaofen in the stands, understood Gangpu, and recalled what Sun Li said just now...
There were "puchi" sounds from everywhere, and the smile that had just been suppressed was raised again.
Zhang Jin, who was in the audience, smiled wryly, feeling ashamed for his wife, and they didn't ask you, why did you speak out on your own initiative.
Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi lowered their heads, overjoyed.
"Why was she being beaten, why did she say this?" Concubine Liu Yi couldn't understand, but was made extremely funny.
Chu Xuan shook his head, too happy to speak.
"As soon as she opened her mouth after being beaten, the whole atmosphere changed." Concubine Liu Yi laughed so hard that her stomach ached and she was very uncomfortable.
The host called a reporter.
"Cai Shaofen, are you also recommended by Chu Xuan?" The reporter asked, if Cai Shaofen hadn't said it, no one would have thought of this question, but Cai Shaofen blew himself up, which made them even more unexpected.
Sister, we didn't even ask you, why are you so proactive?
I have to compete with Sun Li for the first and second, what the hell is this?
Compete for Chu girl?
It's funny because Cai Shaofen is inexplicable, no one can understand her points, and with her accent, the audience doesn't know what they are laughing at, but it is very funny.
"Yes." Cai Shaofen replied.
Zhang Jin understands that Cai Shaofen's self-explosion is probably to pay back favors, and she came here to praise Chu Xuan, but you are in too much hurry, so you can't wait for the reporter to ask questions and intersperse it?
As Concubine Liu Yi said, the atmosphere changed as soon as Cai Shaofen's accent came out, from "talk show" to "funny variety show" in an instant.
Cantonese could be used to answer a few questions, and the reporters present could not understand, and there were many Xiangjiang media present. Well, Cai Shaofen just wanted to use Mandarin.
Her Mandarin is difficult to listen to, and the pronunciation of each word is turning. The very ordinary Hong Kong Pu is different, very unique and full of personality.
During her interview, the whole room was laughing, which was really funny.
"Does she also have this accent when acting?" Chen Jianbing had a bad feeling.
Sun Li was originally happy, but when he heard Chen Jianbing's words, his face collapsed immediately: "It's over, I will be NG countless times for filming with her."
The corners of Chen Jianbing's mouth twitched, and he spoke his lines with this accent. If he didn't laugh, he was definitely a cold-blooded animal.
"Let her speak Cantonese when the time comes." He decided to give advice to the director, which was really unbearable.
"Good idea, let's do it like this." Sun Li and Chen Jianbing hit it off immediately.
Cai Shaofen's interview ended, and the actors of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" came on stage one after another. I wonder if Cai Shaofen's power is too great, and the people present are still unable to come out of her interview atmosphere for a long time.
That Hong Kong, that accent, is simply a magic voice, which makes people unforgettable for a while, and they always think of it involuntarily, and they want to laugh when they think of it.
It wasn't until the interview session of the crew of "Legend of Red Flame" that the director Kong Sheng came on stage, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually showed signs of easing up.
"Director Kong, how much is the investment in Legend of Red Flame?" the reporter asked.
I don't know why, for the TV series of Brilliant Times, there are always reporters who like to ask the investment as the first question at the launch conference, which is rare at the press conferences of other dramas.
It is estimated that the dramas of the Brilliant Era have a lot of investment, and the dramas are all popular again. Ask the investment to evaluate the market?
"6000 million." Kong Sheng said.
so much? ... Everyone was surprised, this is almost catching up with "Zhu Xian".
"Zhu Xian" is a fairy drama after all, but "Legend of Red Flame" is a suspenseful conspiracy, so much money?
"There must be a lot of water in it." Many people think so.
"It's also 1500 million." Concubine Liu Yi muttered in her heart, but she learned more about the drama she made from Chu Xuan.
Subtracting the sponsorship fee of 1500 million, the actual investment is 4500 million.
Like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the company only invested 1500 million, but only accounted for 45% of the shares.
Like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which is a costume drama, the reason why the investment in "Legend of Red Flame" is a bit more is that Chu Xuan's role is concentrated on the battlefield, and the cost here is a bit high.
For example, special effects such as thousands of troops, formation of troops, and the cost of a group of special actors at Gansu Film and Television City.
The group performances in the battlefield scenes must be equestrian, which is different from ordinary group performances. The crew specially invited some experts who are good at equestrianism to be special group performances in NMG and other places. The daily salary is much higher than that of ordinary group performances. many.
It is also necessary to teach Chu Xuan, Ren Quan and other actors equestrian skills, such as bow riding, horse jumping and other skills, which will also cost a lot of tuition.
It is also a big expense to rent out a few hundred horses that are controllable.
"Chu Xuan, you play Lin Shu as a marshal and a young general. This is another type of role you have never played before. In previous interviews, you also said that you want to try different roles. You can stick to this original intention. It deserves respect," the reporter said.
Everyone raised their eyebrows. Is it so polite to interview Chu Xuan?
Sure enough, any industry still depends on status, and the same is true for the exposed entertainment industry.
After going through this public opinion, with the official rectification of their names and the honor of being an Olympic torchbearer, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi's positions are different from before. Even the media dare not offend them, probably because they are afraid of making random reports about Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi The stuff was done by the authorities.
It is still doubtful whether the officials are supporting the two behind their backs, but no matter whether they are suspicious or not, who would dare to try to provoke Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi again?
What if there is indeed an official behind it?
Do not provoke, live in peace.
If you provoke, it may be over.
Normal people will choose the former.
"From my perspective, it seems that no actor under the age of 30 has ever played a general in an inland costume drama. This will make the audience feel unimpressed. Maybe the general is a middle-aged image in the eyes of the audience. What do you think about this?" the reporter asked.
"There has never been one, but it doesn't mean he can't exist." Chu Xuan said succinctly.
The hundreds of people present were stunned, what do you mean by saying that you want to be No.1?
The corners of some people's mouths are slightly raised, which is really handsome.
The media present at the scene are all rooted in the industry for many years. Working in this industry also requires an understanding of the interview style of each star.
Many reporters have a feeling that Chu Xuan has changed a lot, and they don't know if it is an illusion.
I still remember "Tianlong" and "Male Talents and Women" in 03, "New Police Story" and "Sword" in 04, including the interview in "Sculpture"...
Chu Xuan can play haha, make jokes, and play with emotional intelligence.
No matter how he interviewed Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan tried his best to keep himself low-key, and there was never a situation like this where people don't talk too much, giving people a feeling of showing their sharpness.
The former Chu Xuan was very sophisticated, both internally and externally. He was young but mentally mature, not like a young man.
The current Chu Xuan's just one sentence broke their established impression of Chu Xuan. This is a 23-year-old young man in a high position. He finally gave people a feeling of enthusiasm. The previous Chu Xuan It is estimated that he was trained by Wang Jinhua to pretend to be calm.
Concubine Liu Yi smiled slightly, looked at Chu Xuan on the stage, and heard his reply, such an attitude was indeed something that Chu Xuan did not have before.
If it was the former Chu Xuan, he would definitely say that I will work hard or something.
It sounds very modest, but she knew that Chu Xuan was pretending.
But now, Chu Xuan's state seems to have changed.
She couldn't tell what the change was, but it vaguely coincided with a sentence her mother said unintentionally: "You are getting more and more mature, but Chu Xuan feels younger and younger, assimilating to each other?"
This maturity and youth refer to the state, not to dealing with people.
She feels that this is also quite good, at least when she gets along with Chu Xuan, because of the different changes between the two, there will be different tastes of love.
"You and Concubine Liu have been partners in many dramas, and this drama seems to be like this again. Will you worry about the audience's visual fatigue because of this? Or will you change your acting route in the future?" the reporter asked.
"We play our show, the audience watches the audience's show, and watch other plays if they are tired. There is no need to waste time on our play or give any opinions on the Internet. You have your life, we have our pursuit, and we I am only responsible for how to play the role well, and don’t care about other things.” Chu Xuan said.
"Wow--" sounded, and there was a round of applause in the venue.
The guests present were a little impressed. Chu Xuan was really free and easy, and also very pure, pursuing his pursuit wholeheartedly.
I play my stuff, I do my stuff, if you don't like it, leave, it's that simple.
I don't ask for help, and I don't ask fans to cheer for me. I just need to do what I have to do, and the rest will take its course.
"Concubine Liu Yi, Princess Nihuang is a marshal, a role you have never played before, and a starring role that has never appeared in the market. Judging by your age compared with a marshal, there seems to be a gap , what do you think?" the reporter asked.
Concubine Liu Yi was just about to answer a question when she accidentally saw the logo on the reporter's microphone and asked, "Have you interviewed me before? At the coming-of-age ceremony."
The female reporter was stunned, she didn't expect Concubine Liu Yi to have such a good memory, she nodded and said with a smile: "You have a good memory, yes."
Concubine Liu Yi saw that her memory was correct, and some fragments of memories came to her mind, she said: "The main thing is that what you said at that time made me remember deeply. You said that I was 18 years old but looked like 28 years old. According to the ancient times, the average age was only 30 or so. In the current situation, I think it is quite appropriate for me to play a marshal at the age of 28."
Returning to his seat, Chu Xuan, who had just sat down, raised his hands and clapped his hands.
The people present also applauded Concubine Liu Yi's answer, this linked answer was wonderful.
The reporter smiled and shook his head. Concubine Liu Yi's interview style was still unpredictable, but this time she was even conquered.
"Can you answer the question I asked Chu Xuan just now?" the reporter asked.
Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows and thought about it, would she worry about the audience's visual fatigue if she and Chu Xuan have been acting as partners?
Concubine Liu Yi said to Chu Xuan who was off the stage: "What he answered was my opinion. I have nothing to say. This is also our common pursuit. If one day our works are lonely due to the visual fatigue of the audience, then Just be lonely together."
Everyone really didn't expect that they could still eat a wave of dog food at a launch conference.
They clapped their hands, looked at Chu Xuan, and then at Concubine Liu Yi. This "national couple" could be considered to be a true love.
"I don't think so." The female reporter said flatly: "After this brief interview, I think we need to re-examine your charm, and the audience don't want to miss your unique existence in the film and television industry."
"Thank you." Concubine Liu Yi said happily.
After answering a few more questions, Liu Yifei's interview ended.
After returning to their seats and sitting down, she and Chu Xuan looked at each other and smiled. The tacit understanding and spiritual communication between the two no longer required too many words to express their inner feelings.
Watching some actors of "Legend of Red Flame" come to the stage for interviews one after another, some of the lesser-known actors probably made preparations in advance.
At such a large-scale press conference, the company and agent behind it should all attach great importance to being able to get the opportunity to appear alone.
Some people's witty remarks and ingenious answers were so wonderful that the audience gave them applause or laughter, and also attracted the attention of the people present and media reporters.
This is also the magical effect of the bright era's rules. When you are given the opportunity to appear on camera, you have to accept it.
This is the company using its own money to help you promote. Although the publicity is just incidental, at least I did this, and other companies would not do this.
So who is good and who is bad, or who is good and who is better, this is a well-known thing.
If the company needs your support in the future, will you help?
This is also the goal that Bright Times wants to achieve.
The official side needs a golden body, the capital needs a golden body, and the artist's network can also create a golden body.
It is only now that we have started from today's press conference, and there is a long way to go.
The joint press conference of the two crews will naturally take a little longer. After the actors took a group photo on stage, it didn't end until two o'clock in the afternoon.
We are about to leave soon, and everyone will have a taste of it at the opening banquet.
Without the wine to add to the fun, the jubilant atmosphere is a little less, but the mood is also exciting and looking forward to the approaching filming.
At the beginning of three o'clock in the afternoon, the crews of the two crews packed their luggage in the hotel room and went downstairs.
Witnessed by the guests who left the venue and the media, a convoy of commercial vehicles, buses and nanny cars drove to the airport. (end of this chapter)
