Chapter 111 Self-motivated(1/2)
The Legend of the Condor Heroes has made too many people famous.
In fact, this is not unusual at all. If you don’t look back carefully, many people may not think it is, but if you look back carefully, you will find that in the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, since the Jin Yong martial arts, it has become an endless cash machine for Chinese TV series. From early Hong Kong TV series to later mainland remakes, almost every time, every Jin Yong drama will bring powerful attention, influence and ratings far beyond ordinary TV series.
It is no exaggeration to say that since 1980, nearly half of the actors who have made a name for themselves and become popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China have been promoted by Jin Yong's dramas.
If you add a Qiong Yao drama, even the word "close" can be removed!
In this time and space, without Jin Yong's dramas or Qiong Yao's dramas, of course, there will be other outstanding writers and works that can be replaced, but once Jin Yong's works and Qiong Yao's works appear, their charm will still be underestimated at all.
As soon as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released, its influence was not inferior to that of "The Legend of the White Snake" and "The Princess Returning to the Pearl", and it became a national drama in minutes.
The characters in the play, from Guo Jing and Huang Rong to Mei Chaofeng's old naughty boy Huang Yaoshi Hong Qigong, also quickly became popular and became a well-known star in China.
Of course, Jiang Yiyi is the one who benefits the most.
She had previously played the role of Jinsuo in "The Princess of the Pearl", which was considered a little popular, but not a half-popular one. Later, she took on many TV series. Although it was known to everyone as the absolute beauty of the times, it only maintained its popularity. Until the role of Huang Rong came out, she immediately conquered the hearts of thousands of viewers.
To this day, Jiang Yiyi is known to everyone in the whole country.
Just like the White Snake back then, and like the Little Swallow back then.
As the TV series was broadcast, the number of supporting roles in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also increased significantly, it is obvious that they were so popular that they could still regain their strength with a supporting role like Mei Chaofeng.
Therefore, as the second "Jin Yong drama" to be released on the small screen, as the sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is conceivable how much attention "The Return of the Condor Heroes" will receive from the beginning of its preparations.
It is no exaggeration to say that director Han Shunzhang is really popular in the entire film and television industry.
Fu Hongxue took the initiative to call. With her status, one of the most popular actresses in China, the four major actresses in the domestic film and television industry, known as He Yingyu, Qin Jingjing and Lu Lingxi, took the initiative to speak out and lowered their value to show their intention to act in this TV series. Han Shunzhang replied and expressed his hope that she could play the supporting role of Li Mochou. Fu Hongxue agreed without even hesitation!
You can think that this is Fu Hongxue's performance in this role and this TV series to show goodwill to Minghu Culture, which is now the dominant domestic film and television industry. It can also be understood as this TV series itself, which has a great influence on even the characters of Fu Hongxue's level.
With Fu Hongxue playing the role of the actor Li Mochou, the TV series "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is definitely top luxury in terms of actor configuration.
Zhou Botong, the old naughty boy in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", naturally continued to appear. In addition, almost all the supporting roles in the play are big names that can be said on domestic small screens. However, the actors of the male and female protagonists in the play, namely Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, are both new actors selected through internal auditions.
Among them, Wang Weijun, who played Yang Guo, was born in the 1999 class of the Performance Department of the Huaxia Drama Academy. He was previously unknown. He received such a performance opportunity and paid out of his own pocket without hesitation. He borrowed more and more loans and got two million to his original agency, bought out the contract, and then switched to Minghu Culture.
The actress who plays the heroine Xiaolongnu is named Zhou Xiaoyun. She is only nineteen years old this year. She was just admitted to the Performance Department of Shuntian Film Academy last year. She doesn’t even have an agency. She is naturally signed into Minghu Culture.
When the news of their selection came out, they had not even entered the crew and had not even taken the set photos. The entire domestic film and television industry was extremely sure that they would become a big hit next, and many advertisers had even sent their endorsement invitations to Minghu Culture.
This is the charm of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
When Li Qian arrived at Huairou Film and Television City at around 10 a.m., the crew was nervously filming. He didn't alarm anyone else. Because he had said hello in advance, he wanted to visit the set, so producer Huang Wenjuan personally went to the gate of the Film and Television City to pick up Li Qian and his group, and then the staff drove an electric car to take everyone to the shooting site.
The crew was filming an indoor scene. Li Qian stopped in the yard before he entered and saw Han Shunzhang sitting on the director's chair, walking over, and standing behind him for a while.
There are also many actors and staff standing in the yard, some waiting for the next step of work. When Li Qian comes, although silently, many people turn their eyes and look at him quietly. Li Qian stares at the monitor for a moment, turns his head over, nods to everyone, and then inadvertently, he meets a clear eye.
The two nodded to each other.
Li Qian smiled, and the other party could have squeezed out a smile.
After the filming ended, Han Shunzhang was about to turn his head and ask his assistant Li Qian if he came. When he turned his head, he happened to see Li Qian.
So he decisively announced, "All people pay attention and take a break for twenty minutes."
A group of actors quickly gathered around.
Many people wear makeup, which proves that there is a show this morning.
The old acquaintances greeted each other, and two old friends from Shuntianfu Drama Club even joked with Li Qian. Everyone laughed, and then those people walked away very tactfully.
Han Shunzhang waved to two young actors who didn't dare to rely on him and introduced them to Li Qian, "Wang Weijun, graduated from Hua Opera, Xiao Lu's junior brother, maybe he still knows him, plays Yang Guo and Zhou Xiaoyun, our junior sister, just admitted to the acting department of the Film Academy last year."
Then he pointed at Li Qian, "Oh, your idol, Director Li Da. Our Mr. Li."
The two of them came over and shook hands quickly.
Li Qian responded with a smile and praised a few words, "I just saw the scene in the monitor, and the play is good." Of course, this was to Wang Weijun, who played Yang Guo, and then said to Zhou Xiaoyun with a smile: "It's beautiful enough, and it's a bit of a fairy spirit that is not as good as the world's fireworks. No wonder you Director Han likes you so much."
Both of them looked happy.
For them, let alone Li Qian today, even Li Qian a few years ago, he is an absolute big shot and they have no chance to know him.
However, although this is the first time I met, Li Qian must have seen the photos, information, and videos during the audition. Han Shunzhang is the director and first producer of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". However, if the actors are selected, they still have to be taken to Li Qian for a look before they can be finalized.
So, in fact, Li Qian is not too unfamiliar with them.
However, at this time, after shaking hands, Wang Weijun looked excited, but Zhou Xiaoyun suddenly said, "Senior Brother, I am your fan, book fan and movie fan. I now have a set of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". Can I sign a name for me? Please!" As she said that, she put her palms together and looked at Li Qian with a pitiful begging look. Although she looked like a person who was not as good as the world, she was really pitiful when she did this small move.
Li Qian was used to dealing with this kind of scene, so of course he smiled and said, "Okay! Of course, you can, bring it!"
So the little girl shouted something excitedly, turned around and ran over.
The maid Qin Nuo, who accompanied Li Qian to visit the set, has seen too many such scenes and such girls. Seeing this, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
To be honest, as experienced as her, it is difficult to tell whether she is sincerely asking for an autograph or deliberately pretending to behave in front of her handsome boss.
Anyway, Mr. Qi said, "What are you going to hate? What are you going to annoy? For the current domestic entertainment industry, actresses who don't want to climb into Li Qian's bed may not be good actors, but they must not be ambitious actors!" Look, Mr. Qi is so open-minded! You care about the sky, the earth, and the air, and you can control the little girl's ambition?
Like this girl named Zhou Xiaoyun, she is only nineteen years old! When she doesn't talk or laugh, she looks cold and unparalleled, but now she is not as if the blooming flowers are full of swaying?
She ran away, probably to get the book. Fu Hongxue came over here and took the initiative to stretch out her hand, with a slight smile on her face, which made Qin Nuo look alert.
"Hello, Director Li!"
"Hello Hongxue!"
Ah! The screams are so intimate!
Qin Nuo turned his head and glanced at his boss. Fortunately, after following him for several years, his observation of him was absolutely meticulous, and the summary of every expression of his was absolutely accurate. Therefore, Qin Nuo is more than 70% sure that the boss's smile should be very polite.
As for why it is only 70%... facing a beautiful woman like Fu Hongxue, who dares to say that her boss has not revealed the strongest acting skills in history? After all, he is also the Berlin actor!
Fu Hongxue didn't wear makeup, so she probably didn't have her scenes in the morning, but she still appeared on the set. Qin Nuo doubted without hesitation. It was probably someone on the set that had passed through the wind in advance, so she knew that the boss would come to visit the set today! Don't doubt this, don't believe it, look, many actors who did not have scenes this morning appeared on the shooting site?
It’s Li Qian!
Even if it’s just a simple meeting and greeting, it will be a qualification in the future, at least it will be a topic of conversation!
As Qi Jie's loyal follower, the eldest maid, as the close friend of He Yingyu and Liao Min, as the person who was repeatedly bribed by Jiang Yiyi, as... Well, Qin Nuo will subconsciously try to remember any beautiful woman who appears in front of Li Qian.
Not for others but for yourself!
Li Qian said to Fu Hongxue: "I haven't filmed a TV series for a long time, right? How do you feel when you film a TV series again?"
Qin Nuo stood behind Li Qian and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
Fu Hongxue was born in a TV series. The role of Su Daji in "The Investiture of the Gods" made her famous all over the world. But then she only filmed a TV series that she had taken on before, and then quickly began to become a first-line movie female star. From "The World of the World" to "Life and Death Gate", from Wu Han to Qin Wei, in one or two years, she went directly to the big screen actress since she was a young actress, and then she was a box office hit and a film queen. She even beat He Yingyu at that time and became the leading actress in China.
Li Qian asked this, of course, it is a normal politeness as a TV series investor.
However, Fu Hongxue's performance is a bit incomprehensible.
She smiled faintly when she heard this and said, "It's okay, it's quite comfortable. I like the role of Li Mochou very much."
Li Qian smiled, turned his head to look, and Han Shunzhang also smiled.
Qin Nuo had countless thoughts flashed through his mind and finally smiled.
Soon, Zhou Xiaoyun ran over with a set of four books, took a pen and handed it to Li Qian, "Mr. Li, please trouble you! Thank you!"
Li Qian took it and saw that the four books were flipped a little, a little furrowed, and a little surprised. He opened the pages and asked, "Have you read it a lot?"
Zhou Xiaoyun nodded repeatedly, with a flush of excitement on her face, "I bought it secretly when I was in my second year of high school, and I have read it at least five or six times."
Li Qian smiled and simply signed all four books, then handed her a pen to her, saying, "Play well! Jiang Yiyi is popular, try to be the next one!"
The little girl nodded excitedly.
He looked at Li Qian with a respectful look.
In a flash of eyes.
…………
After sending these people, Li Qian finally had a brief chat with Han Shunzhang. But it was just asking about the progress of the shooting and the crew's situation.
Han Shunzhang is a veteran and has always been good at managing the crew. He also has an extremely experienced Huang Wenjuan who is also a producer and is responsible for helping him manage the crew. With their cooperation, the brand of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and the current energy of Minghu Culture, you can think of it. Who dares to be honest in this crew?
So, Li Qian got the answer: Everything went well!
Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Han Shunzhang quickly returned to the director's chair and re-directed the filming. Li Qian and Qin Nuo stood beside the shooting site, watching two more scenes, and then decisively said goodbye and left. If it was a friend visiting the set, they might have to stay for a meal or invite the crew to have a big meal and beef up morale. But now Li Qian comes to visit his company's class and no longer needs to do this. When they leave, Huang Wenjuan and Han Shunzhang will help to take care of all this.
Whether it is noon or evening, just add a meal and have some meat. It is enough to say that the boss rewards everyone.
But before leaving, Qin Nuo, who had been paying attention to it, indeed noticed the reluctant gaze of Xiaolongnu Zhou Xiaoyun, "Hmph! Sure enough!" she thought to herself.
…………
In addition to the shooting scene, Huang Wenjuan personally took someone to drive the electric car to take them out of the film and television city and got in the car outside. Qin Nuo couldn't help but say, "Hey, boss, that Zhou Xiaoyun is not honest!"
Li Qian smiled and turned his head to look at her, "I told me, no matter how honest you are, you can't compare to you!"
Qin Nuo shrugged cutely and said nothing.
Until the car had already driven onto the expressway steadily, Qin Nuo asked again: "Then next, should we go to have a meal first, or..."
Li Qian waved his hand and said, "Go directly to Baoding Prefecture."
After a pause, he said, "Just just take a random check. I want to see how the 3D cinema renovation of these cinemas is doing."
Qin Nuo nodded and said, "Okay!" After a while, he asked again, "Do you want to tell Mr. Qi and Mr. Yu? This sudden attack..."
To be continued...
