Chapter 182 Four Corners Love Scandal! (Please subscribe!)
"Director Lai Shuiqing wants to reshoot "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"?"

After listening to half of the words, Gao Yuanyuan realized why Lin Xuan came to her.

Lin Xuan sat closer and put his arms around her waist.

"Yes, the investor invited me to play Zhang Wuji, so I will recommend you to the director to play Zhou Zhiruo."

"Thank you."

Gao Yuanyuan bit her lip lightly, with a happy smile on her face.

The TV series starring Lin Xuan are top resources in the industry, and the competition among them is very fierce.

In order to get their stars and artists to get roles, film and television companies use all kinds of money and connections.

But Gao Yuanyuan did nothing, Lin Xuan handed over the second female lead.

The joy in her heart at this moment was difficult to express in words.

"Just a thank you? No more substantial reward?"

Gao Yuanyuan blushed and pushed him: "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Lin Xuan stood up: "We have eaten and drank tea. Let's go back now."

…………

Villa, bedroom.

Lin Xuan leaned on the back of the bed and wrote notes on the script with a pen in his hand.

Gao Yuanyuan had just set off fireworks in her mind and curled up in the quilt, only half of her face showing.

Her pretty face was stained with a blush, and her bright eyes looked at him unblinkingly.

A man who works hard is so handsome!
After a long time, she gradually regained consciousness, sat up and hugged his arm:
"I play Zhou Zhiruo, then who will play Zhao Min?"

"Do you know Jia Jingwen from Baodao?"

"I don't know her, but I've seen her play. She seems to have acted with you in "Little Li's Flying Knife", right?"

Gao Yuanyuan has watched every drama Lin Xuan has acted in, and even bought the original CDs for his collection.

The more I watch the show, the more I fall in love with him.

Lin Xuan stopped the pen in his hand and recalled: "Yes, time flies so fast.

It has been more than two years since the filming of "Little Li's Flying Knife" was completed. At that time, she and I were just supporting actors. "

The nostalgic expression on his face made Gao Yuanyuan feel a little uncomfortable.

"Back then, she was a minor supporting role, and people looked down upon her. Now she is a big star, and she has status. I can't wait to see her."

Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Are you entering the drama in advance? Zhou Zhiruo has already started to feel jealous of Zhao Min before the filming of the TV series has started."

Gao Yuanyuan stopped her smile, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes: "Tell me, do you want to see her?"

"Of course not." Lin Xuan shook his head calmly.

He is now in a sage state. He only sees work and study, and has no interest in these red and pink skeletons.

"Hmph, I don't believe it."

Seeing his calm expression, Gao Yuanyuan felt a little relieved, but she still felt arrogant.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but you have to remember your current state. This is how Zhou Zhiruo will play out after turning dark."

"You're the one who turned black."

“Also, don’t forget to buy the original novel, especially Zhou Zhiruo’s part, which you should read several times.

You should also watch the old version of the drama and learn how other actors acted. "

"As you command, my Director Lin."

"This time it's not the director, it's the producer!"

…………

A few days later, the crew's funds began to arrive.

As the producer of this drama, Lin Xuan started to get busy.

He not only had to find locations with Lai Shuiqing, but also discussed with the producer how to build a creative team for the film.

An objective evaluation of the 03 version of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" shows that the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.

The best thing about this show is the casting and acting.

Jia Jingwen plays Zhao Min, who is quirky, smart and atmospheric.

There is both the domineering majesty of the Mongolian princess and the shyness of the young girl Huaichun.

Zhou Zhiruo, played by Gao Yuanyuan, is cautious, indifferent to the city, and perfectly combines the two temperaments of sinisterness and weakness.

In the early stage, he was as beautiful as a orchid, and in the later stage, he was as pure as a fairy. His whole body was shrouded in an unpredictable sense of distance, which perfectly explained what it means to be "respectful and afraid at the same time."

As for the Iron Triangle, Wang Gang's performance was quite satisfactory.

Yang Xiao, played by Zhang Tielin, has problems only in his youth, but his performance in middle age is pretty good.

And Zhang Guoli's acting skills are the best among the three.

The evil smile at the beginning of the film brings out the aura of the boss behind the scenes to its fullest.

As the villain in the play, his comedic performance is equally impressive.

Xiao Zhao, played by Chen Xiuli, is cute and charming, while Yin Li, played by Chen Zihan, is free and easy and stubborn.

Other characters such as Yin Susu, Ding Minjun, Xie Xun, Zhang Sanfeng, Miejie Shitai and others also performed well.

Therefore, Lin Xuan did not make major changes to the cast.

The second advantage is clothing styling.

The four heroines have different hairstyles, clothing, and makeup.

It highlights the different personalities and temperaments of the four people and is highly recognizable.

The disadvantage is that the fabric material is slightly cheap.

There was even a low-level mistake like Zhang Wuji wearing sandals.

The dubbing is also a strength of this show.

Except for Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang, who are the original voices, the other actors are dubbing.

The actor's voice may not necessarily match the character's image, so dubbing is a very pragmatic and wise choice.

One of the reasons why the 03 version of The Condor was criticized was that the voices of the male and female protagonists did not fit the characters.

The dubbing of Yi Tian in this version is very good. Zhao Min's dubbing is crisp and sweet, and Zhou Zhiruo's dubbing is cold and gentle.

The lighting filter of this drama is also an advantage.

It's not too dark like the early dramas, nor is it full of contrast like the dramas a few years later.

Found a good balance between the two.

As for the shortcomings.

Except for the good scenery at Guangmingding, most of the scenes in the play are not good enough.

It's not as arrogant as Zhang Jizhong's smile, the shooting of the vultures is magnificent, and it doesn't have the real-life snow-capped mountains like the 04 version of "Liancheng Jue".

In addition to this, the biggest shortcoming of this show is the martial arts design.

All kinds of fancy shots, circling fighting scenes, and unclear special effects.

Ma Yucheng, the martial arts director of this drama, also participated in the martial arts work of "The Storm" and 03 "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

In terms of work ability, he is definitely fine.

The main reason is that this drama wanted to combine martial arts and special effects, but the effect was unexpectedly poor.

Special effects are used when fighting is needed, and the key special effects are also very rough.

Of course, the advantages of this drama must be continued and even enhanced.

As for those shortcomings, it is easy to solve them.

In other words, these problems have been solved.

Problems with framing and special effects are, to put it bluntly, a problem with your wallet.

Zhang Jizhong's initial investment in filming Jin Yong's drama was 4000 million.

With money in his pocket, he can shoot on location all over the country.

The same is true for martial arts special effects.

The investment in the original version of "Eternal Dragon Sword" was only 2000 million.

It would be great to be able to finish filming this drama with just this amount of money.

Now with Lin Xuan's 1000 million capital injection, these shortcomings can be easily solved.

…………

In early October, the autumn air is crisp.

The main creative team has been set up and the location survey work is also coming to an end.

The crew disclosed basic information about "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" for the first time, which immediately attracted media attention and reprinted it. [Director Lai Shuiqing remakes "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"! 】

[Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, co-production with 3000 million investment! 】

[Linghu Chong transforms into Zhang Wuji, and Lin Xuan plays the male lead of Jin Yong for the second time! 】

[Jia Jingwen stars as Zhao Min, cooperating with Lin Xuan again after two years. 】

[Gao Yuanyuan won Zhou Zhiruo, and Lin Xuan was suspected of intervening in the casting. 】

……

Under the overwhelming media reports, the popularity of Xin Yitian has soared, and widespread discussions have begun on the Internet.

【too excited!My favorite actor played the leading role of Jin Yong! 】

[I like Lin Xuan, and I also like Wei Xiaobao, and I hope he can play The Deer and the Cauldron in the future. 】

[Director Lai’s remake of Yi Tian, ​​I don’t know if it can surpass the 94 version. 】

[It can definitely be surpassed. How can small studios from Hong Kong and Taiwan compare with mainland dramas, and this one has Lin Xuan. 】

[The total investment is only 3000 million. Foreign film and television companies are so poor. Bearded's dramas all start with 4000 million. 】

[Film and television companies from other places know how to use their money wisely. Zhang Jizhong’s filming is such a waste. 】

[Linghu Chong is unrestrained and uninhibited, while Zhang Wuji is indecisive. Can Lin Xuan play two different characters? 】

[Lin Xuan’s acting skills are undoubted, No. 1 among the new generation in Mainland China! 】

[The Iron Triangle from "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" also participated! 】

[Interesting, Ji Xiaolan is rebellious and wants to kill the emperor. 】

[Who is Jia Jingwen?I have never heard of this person, so why is he acting with Lin Xuan and having a backstage? 】

[Ignorant, Jia Jingwen is from Baodao, and the drama she filmed last year was the island's most watched. 】

[She really has a backing, she is a Baodao gang boss. 】

[Gao Yuanyuan plays Zhou Zhiruo, why is it her again? She has acted in several dramas with Lin Xuan. 】

[She was picked up by Lin Xuan with one hand. I bet the two of them are definitely having an affair. 】

[Nonsense, Lin Xuan and Fan Xiaopang are together, but they haven’t made it public. 】

[I think it’s Yan Danchen, Ru Yan and Yuan Fang are so matched. 】

[Is there a possibility that all three of them are with Lin Xuan. 】

[Impossible, absolutely impossible. 】

…………

The day after the project was announced, the crew released information about open auditions.

Among the characters released this time, there are many important supporting roles.

Young people Yang Xiao, Yin Susu, Ding Minjun, Song Qingshu, Yang Buhui, Xiao Zhang Wuji and so on.

Regarding the role of Yang Xiao, Lin Xuan simply divided him into two.

The two stages of youth and middle age are played by two actors respectively.

The middle-aged man still chose Zhang Tielin, after all, he did a good job in this part.

The young man Yang Xiao is talented and unconventional, so he wanted to choose an actor with a handsome face and a tendency to be cool.

Yin Susu is a demon girl from the Tianying Cult. In addition to being beautiful, an actor must also have a bit of "demon" air about her.

Song Qingshu is even simpler, as long as he is handsome enough in ancient costume and his acting skills are up to par.

These three characters are all in Lin Xuan's hands, and he is now Jiang Taigong's fisherman who takes the bait.

The first people to contact him were Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan from Rong Xinda.

The two invited him to a restaurant for a meal and an interview, and Lin Xuan attended the appointment on time.

In addition to the two of them, there were also Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Lin Yushen in the restaurant.

"Sorry for the long wait."

"The traffic in the capital is too heavy and we have just arrived."

Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan stood up to greet them, and the other three also stood up.

Lin Xuan chatted with the two for a while, and then sat next to Zhou Xun.

"Brother Xun, long time no see."

Hearing this title, Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"I heard that you are filming Director Zhang's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", has it been completed?"

"Not yet, I guess it will have to wait until the end of the month."

Zhang Jizhong is also very good at filming.

"Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "World No. [-]" were launched at the same time.

He has already started working on the post-production process, but Zhang Jizhong hasn't finished it yet.

"Is this your first time working with Li Yapeng? How do you feel about it?"

Lin Xuan's expression was ambiguous, a bit gossipy.

He mainly wanted to test it out to see if Zhou Xun was with Li Yapeng.

After all, Brother Xun said that Li Yapeng satisfied all her imagination of a man.

In Lin Xuan's opinion, unless he has unknown advantages.

Otherwise, it can only be said that Brother Xun's imagination is too poor.

"It just feels like that. I don't talk much. I'm always on the phone and sending text messages."

Zhou Xun's expression was indifferent and he had no special reaction.

"oh, I see."

Lin Xuan was a little disappointed when he didn't get the melon.

"You still have the nerve to mention "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
Director Zhang Jizhong invited you to play the role of Guo Jing, why didn't you agree?

If I acted, wouldn't we be able to work together? "

Lin Xuan explained: "Director Zhang and I told him that the character image does not fit.

Guo Jing is dull and honest, how shrewd I am. "

Everyone laughed together. Although it was a bit strong, it also made some sense.

Li Shaohong said: "Guo Jing is dull and Zhang Wuji is not much better. Why don't you refuse this time?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Zhang Wuji is so handsome, and he also has four confidantes, and Guo Jing is the only one."

As he said that, he glanced sideways at Zhou Xun, causing Brother Xun to punch and punch him.

After three drinks and five dishes, Li Shaohong started talking about business.

"Lin Xuan, you can guess the reason why I asked you to dinner this time. It's because of the role."

"Well, tell me which character you like."

"Yang Xiao!"

Lin Xuan turned to look at Chen Kun, shook his head and said:

"Sister Shaohong, Yang Xiao has been split into two parts. The middle-aged Yang Xiao is played by Zhang Tielin.

The young man Yang Xiao doesn't have many scenes, he is just a minor supporting role.Letting Chen Kun play the role would be overkill. "

At the beginning of the year, Chen Kun became popular with "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", and later took over Duan Tianya in "The Best in the World".

When this drama premieres next year, Chen Kun will definitely become more popular. It would be a waste to let him play a small supporting role.

Although these words were true, Chen Kun was still very happy after hearing them.

"It's not Chen Kun, it's my son Lin Yushen." Li Xiaowan pointed and said.

"Oh, it's not Chen Kun..."

Lin Xuan smiled awkwardly, then turned to look at Lin Yushen.

After Lin Yushen debuted for so many years, he has always been tepid in the industry.

He has acted in many TV series, but only a few roles can leave an impression.

Yang Xiao in the 17th edition of "Yitian Sword of the Dragon" is one of them.

He has pretty good looks and is also a cool and handsome type, which fits the image and personality of young Yang Xiao.

Lin Yushen was staring straight at him and felt a little nervous.

"After you returned home, did you seriously hone your acting skills?" Lin Xuan asked bluntly.

Lin Yushen is a newcomer in the industry. He has not graduated from a major and is lacking in acting skills.

This year, relying on family connections, I filmed my first drama, "Oranges Are Red."
