Movie tycoon

Chapter 126 Red Again (Part [-])
For the entertainment media, there is an unwritten rule that "speed is life"!
The news of the reporter's interview with Chen Xiaotang was widely reported in major media that day.For these, the entertainment industry has both praise and criticism, and each has different opinions.

In a teahouse in Xiangjiang, several old men were playing with the birds with birdcages, and the waiter next to him was pushing a dining cart and yelling, "Siu mai, shrimp dumplings, and barbecued pork buns!"

"Give me a basket of char siew buns!" Tang Zhenye beckoned, asking the waiter to pass over the char siew buns.

Sitting on the table was a young man with a stern face, but he was Hui Tianci, a well-known kung fu student in Xiangjiang.

This gentleman was born in a Manchurian aristocrat. Later, due to the decline of his family, his father moved his family to Xiangjiang during the Cultural Revolution period. However, he was not good at making a living. He was cheated when he brought his belongings to do business, and Hui Tianci, who was supposed to be treated by the son-in-law, was even worse. Not to be sent to study Peking Opera hard.

Later, because of his stern face, he was good at performing roles such as killers, and gradually became famous in the entertainment circle.This time he and Tang Zhenye co-starred in the new drama "Leopard Brave" in Shanghai~Beach Gang Fighting. The two became friends after meeting, and they like to meet for morning tea before filming.

"Stop screaming, I've almost eaten enough." Tianci Hui wiped his mouth with a napkin and said.

"Fourth brother, you should eat more, or you won't have the energy to film later!" Tang Zhenye smiled and put the barbecued pork buns in front of Hui Tianci.

Hui Tianci is the fourth eldest child in his family. The elders in the entertainment industry call him "little four", and his friends call him "fourth brother".

Hui Tianci had no choice but to pick up another pork bun with chopsticks, and said, "Based on your enthusiasm, I guess I will become a fat man after filming "Leopard Guts"!"

"Hehe, fourth brother, your figure is top-notch. I don't know how many actresses were drooling at you when you were filming!"

"I think it's you that people think of you!"

"Hehe, fourth brother, don't tease me!" Tang Zhenye said, picking up the newspaper beside him, and before he had even glanced at it, his expression changed drastically, and he slapped the newspaper on the table.

Hui Tianci saw that his appearance was not right, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Look at what's written on it, bragging about how great Murong Fu played by Chen Xiaotang is, hum!" Tang Zhenye was furious.In his heart, he is extremely jealous of Chen Xiaotang, not only because of Weng Meiling, but also because of his impressive popularity.

Seeing that Hui Tianci was a little confused, Tang Zhenye said, "Actually, I'm not worth it for you. If it wasn't for fourth brother, you accidentally sprained your foot before filming, would you take such a good opportunity cheap for him?!"

"New Tianlong" originally asked Hui Tianci to play "Murong Fu", but it was a pity that Hui Tianci had an accident while riding a horse before the start of the film, so Chen Xiaotang was replaced.Who would have thought that Chen Xiaotang would become famous in one fell swoop with this film.

Hui Tianci himself thought nothing of it, and said: "Man's fate is predestined, maybe I have no chance with that drama!"

"Why didn't you have a chance? I think it's Chen Xiaotang behind the scenes, otherwise Wang Tianlin and Du Qifeng wouldn't recommend him to director Xiao Sheng! It must be, I guessed right!" Tang Zhenye said bitterly.

"Aye, stop thinking about it, I think Chen Xiaotang's acting is pretty good."

"Fourth brother, how can you speak for him? He took away your chance, or you might be the one who became popular this time!"

"That's not true. It's still the same sentence. Acting in this play requires good acting skills. That Chen Xiaotang has undoubtedly achieved it!" Hui Tianci is the kind of person who will make you calm down when things happen. Chen Xiaotang didn't like it very much.

"Oh, fourth brother, how can I tell you to understand? At most, that Chen Xiaotang got lucky. Where did he get his acting skills? I guess this time it was at most a mistake! Or look, he What will happen to the next play, it's absolutely rubbish!" Tang Zhenye said with some anger.

"Oh yeah, you really think so?"

"It's not what I think, it's the truth. You see, Chen Xiaotang's good luck is definitely because the rabbit's tail can't grow!"

Hui Tianci smiled, "That's not necessarily true, maybe they will become more popular..."

"He, Chen Xiaotang—is it possible?!" Tang Zhenye said contemptuously.

...........................

At the same time, the director of Xiangjiang Wireless is in the office.

Known as "Wu Zetian" of TVB, Fang Yihua was chatting with his confidant Zeng Lizhen.

"Lizhen, what do you think of that actor named Chen Xiaotang?" Fang Yihua personally made a cup of tea for Zeng Lizhen and handed it over.

Zeng Lizhen was flattered, and hurriedly took it: "I recruited that Chen Xiaotang. He may not have been very good at the beginning, but he was a bit of a ghost, and he knew how to eat brains..." After speaking, Zeng Lizhen told the story of recruiting Chen Xiaotang to join the TVB. , even Fang Yihua laughed when he sang insanely "The boundless end of the world is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills".

"This Chen Xiaotang is quite funny." Fang Yihua took a sip of tea lightly.

"That's right, my fourth brother Xie Xian and I thought so too." Zeng Lizhen replied cautiously.

"But recently, he seems to be taking the position very quickly—"

"That Wang Tianlin and Du Qifeng gave him a lot of opportunities, of course, it also depends on his own hard work."

"Then do you think I can win him over?" Fang Yihua threw out his thoughts.

"You mean to say..."

"Sixth Uncle is getting old and needs to gradually delegate power, but Xiao Sheng and Wang Tianlin are all veterans of the two dynasties who followed him. From Shaw Brothers Film Company to today's Wireless Company, they have great connections and popularity. They are older than us. Sixth uncle and his elders are worried, afraid that no one will be able to suppress them after I delegate power..."

Whether it was sixth uncle who was worried, or she herself was worried, everyone knew.

Fang Yihua sorted out his thoughts, "However, what Uncle Six said is also true. I am good at financial management, but not good at personnel management. As for you, although you are a management talent, you have no soldiers or generals under your command. Even a famous There are no celebrities, and look at Wang Tianlin, Huang Rihua, Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, Tang Zhenye and Miao Qiaowei, almost all of them are talents, and everyone’s filming can bring ratings, what do you think we should do? "

Having said this, Fang Yihua sighed, "So we must absorb fresh blood, otherwise we will not be able to fight against the veterans Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng!" Fang Yihua said bluntly.

He didn't expect Fang Yihua to trust him so much, to tell him all such confidential things.Zeng Lizhen felt a little excited.Her mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what benefits she could get from this, and she immediately understood that if she could help Fang Yihua succeed in seizing power, then she would undoubtedly be her "hero for the founding of the country". .

Trying to calm herself down, Zeng Lizhen said: "Director Fang, what you said just now is correct, but what if that Chen Xiaotang whom you value is just a flash in the pan, what if we miscalculated?"

"It's better to make a mistake than let it go!" Fang Yihua said firmly. "Because ATV hasn't completely threatened us now, we must implement all internal tasks, first of all, to cultivate superstars on our side, and no longer rely on Wang Tianlin's gang of old courtiers --- tell TVB inside and outside, without them, we can't do anything. Definitely can!"

"It's just... can that Chen Xiaotang be able to push himself?" Zeng Lizhen was a little unconfident.

.......................................

Facts have proved that there are many unpredictable things in this world.

When many people thought that Chen Xiaotang's fame was just a flash in the pan, just like the last time the author's identity was leaked.

But immediately, many people were surprised.

Because Chen Xiaotang's "Jade Blood Sword" just finished filming has already started broadcasting.

In this play, it is undeniable that Chen Xiaotang is still not the protagonist, but a supporting role.

However, this play has been loved by many Xiangjiang audiences.

In fact, when many Xiangjiang viewers saw this version of "Golden Snake Lord" played by Chen Xiaotang, they immediately thought of a person, that is, the little prince "Yang Kang" in "Shooting the Condors".

The tone of the newly filmed "Jade Blood Sword" is mainly gray, only the Golden Snake Lord, dressed in white and red, adds color to the whole play.

In addition to being equally handsome and unrestrained, Jin Snake and Yang Kang also have many similarities. They both have pitiful backgrounds, both good and evil, both supporting roles, and they are also not loved by most people in the story.Similarly, they all have a spirit of fighting against fate with extreme means.

Many people don't like Yang Kang, because he has been doing evil from beginning to end. If his motives are sympathetic at the beginning, but in the end, when he does whatever means for his purpose, it is already a bit contemptuous.

But for the Golden Snake, many viewers feel that there is love besides love.He is not bad in nature, he kills people, but he also said: "Do you think I won't suffer if you kill your family?" When he met his beloved, he finally realized his loss and put down the butcher knife for her.In the end, he was killed by an adulterer for his lover.

Xiangjiang audiences have always had very special tastes, as can be seen from the previous confession for "Murong Fu".

This time, the "Golden Snake Lord" played by Chen Xiaotang gave them another chance.

Immediately, some film critics who were unwilling to be lonely stood up and cheered again——
Pick, there is no way, these people seem to be addicted to retracting confessions for martial arts characters.

The first one stood up and published an article "I don't want to say, but I have to say, about the past and present life of Mr. Jin Snake" with righteous words.

"Leaving aside how unfaithful the script is to the original, and leaving aside the emotional entanglements between Yuan Chonghuan and Wen Qingqing, it is an extremely correct choice for the director of TVB to choose Chen Xiaotang to play Xia Xueyi this time. The only highlight of the new shoot is that Chen Xiaotang perfectly interprets the unruly Golden Snake Langjun who values ​​love and righteousness all his life. He is also a typical neutral character who is both good and evil. The film is extremely cute and touching, so I say this is the only point in this filming that is in line with the spirit of the original work, while Huang Rihua, another serious protagonist in the film, pales in comparison."

"I love Mr. Golden Snake, largely because when he meets a woman who impresses him, he can love so thoroughly, give up all hatred, and take good care of his woman. Isn't this what this flamboyant world needs? Is it? Chen Xiaotang's performance is really impeccable, I have always supported Chen Xiaotang."

"Since I met Mr. Golden Snake, the top spot of Jin Yong's heroes in my heart has changed! I used to think that Yang Guo was good, but obviously, Mr. Golden Snake broke with the mainstream society (the so-called Jianghu people) more thoroughly. Perhaps Mr. Jin Snake's previous life In this life, he is the representative of rebellion and revolution. In my opinion, Murong Fu is the spirit of struggle, and Mr. Golden Snake is the spirit of revolution. Chen Xiaotang deduces their soul and spirit, making these two martial arts films even more exciting!"

…………

Xiangjiang Temple Street, the street.

"Wow, the Yuan Chengzhi played by Huang Rihua in "Jade Blood Sword" last night looked like a goose, and the Golden Snake played by Chen Xiaotang was so handsome!"

"Yeah, it seems that Huang Rihua is still suitable to play the silly Guo Jing-Chen Xiaotang is definitely the biggest highlight of this drama!"

………………

Xiangjiang Wangjiao, street.

"The poster of "Jade Blood Sword" has been sold out, only Huang Rihua's Yuan Chengzhi is left, do you want it?"

"I hate it, what do I want Huang Rihua to do? What I want is Chen Xiaotang, who is holding a green blood sword and full of evil spirits!"

"Choose, that version of the poster has already been sold out, especially the people from the community are rushing to buy it!"

"What do people from the community buy it for?"

"Of course it's posted at home to ward off evil spirits!"

…………

Chen Xiaotang never imagined that "Jade Blood Sword", which he only had seven or eight episodes of, would hit another peak in ratings.

Many people believe that the "Golden Snake Lord" played by him has already surpassed the actor Huang Rihua in this play, and has become the number one highlight of this play.

Of course, Chen Xiaotang still doesn't know all this. At this moment, he is still in his bedroom, immersed in the writing of the ending part of the script "Wang Chongyang of Zhong Shentong".

"Wang Chongyang sheathed his long sword and retired to Zhongnan Mountain to establish the Quanzhen Sect. He vowed that he would never leave the mountain again in this generation. Lin Chaoying's death was a great blow to him. Maybe in the future, when Jin soldiers offend the border, He, the well-deserved number one expert in the Central Plains, will come back to save the country and the people..."

When the last word was written, Chen Xiaotang put down the pen with some sore hands, and stretched his wrist.

In his opinion, although he is writing a script for the first time, many parts are not satisfactory, but he has been in TVB for so long, and he has learned some tricks in writing scripts.

Generally speaking, writing a screenplay and writing a novel are two different things.

What writing a novel requires is the sense of substitution of the characters. The protagonist’s encounter is the reader’s encounter. It is necessary for the protagonist to fall off a cliff to learn magic skills. It is also necessary for the protagonist to have N heroines like him.

It’s just that many martial arts authors stick to one corner and dare not let their protagonists break through one of these shackles. Most of them say they learn martial arts from the old predecessors, or encounter adventures in barren mountains.Chen Xiaotang is definitely an expert in this area. Don't forget where he came from. The Internet literature in his previous life had a great influence on him. In his eyes, adventures and exercises are just pediatrics. Therefore, he created "Zhong Shentong" Wang Chongyang Another unique skill - self-created martial arts.
