Chapter 538 All-Star Warring States Historical Celebrities(1/2)
The outside world is optimistic that Pan Ming will win this year's bonus, Feng Shidi. In fact, speaking of it, this year is indeed Pan Ming's best opportunity.
In previous years, Shanhe dramas, which dominated the screen for the whole year and often occupied 3 to 4 spots in the TV drama nominations, had a rare "empty period" this year.
Among the many directors in Shanhe, Kong Sheng, who was given high hopes of "defeating the devil Zuo Le", suffered a mental breakdown due to repeated failures.
After "Nirvana in Fire", I haven't filmed a new drama for more than a year, and now I'm even filming a movie.
Kong Sheng had previously won two movie stars and one movie star with "The Mansion" and "Nirvana in Fire". He is the second most popular director in Shanhe to win movie stars and queens, second only to Zuo Le.
He has no new work this year. At least Pan Ming has to eliminate a big enemy.
Although Zuo Le has two dramas this year, "The Qin Empire - Fission" has not been filmed yet, and when it is broadcast, it will not be scheduled for next year's Spring Festival, so he will not be able to participate in this year's Golden Phoenix Award competition.
As for "The Big Bang Theory", it is a sitcom after all, so it is naturally at a disadvantage when it comes to winning awards.
Of course, one should not underestimate the enemy too much. After all, Yan Ni won the first prize with the sitcom "Wulin Gaiden".
There are too many miracles in Zuo Le, so you have to be careful, but at present, the threat to Pan Ming is not obvious.
As for Lao Gao, the only ones broadcast this year are "Family with Children 8" and "Jingwei Reclamation".
"Family with Children 8" directly ignores it, while another drama "Jingwei Reclamation" has a female protagonist, and most of the highlights are the heroine Jingwei.
Although the male protagonist is also outstanding, due to the limitations of the subject matter, the conflicting tension of the character is not enough. According to outside speculation, being nominated is already the limit.
Of course, Lao Gao is currently preparing for a new drama. If it can be aired in the second half of the year, the situation may change.
Wang Qian and Pan Ming have interests in this area. She definitely wants to have another Vision Emperor in her hands, so she has to take Pan Ming into account in her subsequent plans.
Moreover, even if Wang Qian ignores it and seriously produces a new work in the second half of the year, it will be difficult to produce a phenomenal work like "White Night" that has a double harvest of word-of-mouth and broadcasts.
Just kidding, the number of pure online dramas that have exceeded 10 billion views today, and all the video website platforms combined, can only be counted on one hand.
Didn’t he say that if he comes again, he will come again? Did he think he was going to the market to buy vegetables?
Therefore, at the end of the day, among the directors of Shanhe, the one who poses the greatest threat to Pan Ming's challenge to become the emperor is Xue Jun and Xue Laosi, who single-handedly promoted him.
Xue Jun has three dramas this year, not to mention "Ghost Blowing the Lantern - Longling Cave", in which Pan Ming is the protagonist, but for the spin-off "Angry Qing Xiangxi", he has found another starring role.
In fact, "Nu Qing Xiangxi" is not bad. After all, it is the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series. For Pan Ming, it can be regarded as knowing himself and the enemy.
In addition, this extra chapter, with a different main creator, is not as popular as the main IP in terms of popularity, and Pan Ming is confident that he can suppress it.
The one that really poses the greatest threat to him is "Detective Detective Dee 4". Although this drama has a mediocre reputation, its results are still impressive.
Moreover, Liang Damin can be nominated as the TV drama king three times, which shows that he has a certain status in the eyes of the Golden Phoenix Awards judges.
In previous years, when gods fought, there were too many strong opponents, and Liang Damin had no choice but to lose repeatedly.
This year's "window period" for Shanhe is not only a good opportunity for Pan Ming, but also an opportunity for Liang Damin.
Therefore, if Pan Ming wants to win this year's Shidi, he must first pass the "Four Dynasties Veteran" Liang Damin.
But no matter what happens, Pan Ming has gone from being a washed-up artist the year before to being on the front line now, holding the IP of a top online drama, and becoming a popular TV star.
With such an experience, I wouldn’t even dare to write about it in an online article!
Pan Ming's rise to fame has made countless artists in the entertainment industry jealous and envious, and at the same time, it has also strengthened a voice that has been circulating in the industry.
If you want to become popular, act in Shanhe's works!!!
Suddenly, Shanhe dramas, which were originally popular, became more and more popular, and the roles in Shanhe dramas became a resource that countless actors competed for.
It is said that many brokerage companies have ranked the resource level of the main actors and actresses of Shanhe dramas higher than those of the male and female protagonists of some popular IP dramas and ordinary dramas.
The second and third episodes of Shan He Drama are resources that some popular niche actors and even first-tier artists are grabbing for.
As for the male and female protagonists of the Shanhe drama, outside of Shanhe, ordinary people really don’t dare to think about it.
Three words, it all depends on fate...
This is still the crew of Kong, Gao, Xue and Wang. If it were a work directed by Zuo Le himself, the intensity would be doubled.
This can also be seen from "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Many of the main supporting roles are first-line, although most of them are Shanhe artists and belong to internal company tasks.
But even so, to be able to "condescend" to such a top-tier artist also shows Zuo Le's appeal to actors.
Someone in the industry once said with a smile that if Zuo Le wanted to unspoken rules, the number of male and female stars lining up would be enough to leverage half of the entertainment industry.
………
Pan Ming became famous, making Shanhe unparalleled in the circle.
It just so happened that Zuo Le was currently casting for "The Qin Empire - Fission" at this time.
The "Qin Empire" series, as a historical masterpiece jointly launched by Sunward + CCTV, has long been the focus of countless people in the industry.
The success of "White Night" and Pan Ming added several spoonfuls of hot oil to this hot fire.
Let's put it this way, Zuo Le has received a list of self-recommended actors during this period, and ordinary first- and second-tier stars would not be included in the list.
Many big names from the older generation, even famous actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, have contacted the crew of "The Great Qin Empire".
It has been almost 10 years since Zuo Le debuted. He has collaborated with countless actors, big and small, and has seen a lot of the world.
But this time I still can’t help but sigh.
I have never been so rich in my life!
It's not an exaggeration at all. If Zuo Le really let go of the casting, I dare not say it will be compared with a blockbuster tribute movie like "A Red Boat in the South Lake" with stars from beginning to end, but it won't be much different.
But then again, I can only think about it.
No matter how great "The Great Qin Empire" is, it can't compare with the official blockbuster tributes.
Stars who participate in gift films do not get paid and take the initiative to contribute to the country, but "The Qin Empire" does not have the qualifications for stars to contribute. Even if it succeeds, Zuo Le will have to return the favor one by one.
Therefore, no matter how tempted he was, Zuo Le couldn't really create an all-star lineup.
Instead, casting is based on various factors such as the suitability of the role, the popularity of the actor, and the role of the role.
However, Zuo Le couldn't bear to see that so many big names and old actors couldn't be used. He spent a long time in seclusion and thought about it, and finally came up with a good idea.
"The Qin Empire - Fission" has a total of 50 episodes. There are quite a few episodes to begin with, and because it is a historical drama that includes the Seven Kingdoms and various forces, there are a lot of characters appearing.
There are no less than a hundred people with names and surnames, and there are forty or fifty people who have appeared multiple times. Among them, there are still some characters who will appear in the second "Zongheng".
This is also why it is difficult to select actors for "The Great Qin Empire" because there are too many and too complex.
In addition to these ordinary characters, as a historical drama, "The Qin Empire" has many special characters.
These characters may not appear much, but their weight and importance are not lost due to their small number of scenes.
Just to give a few examples, such as Qin Xiangong, Mencius, Sun Bin, etc. in "Fission".
Qin Xiangong only appeared in two or three episodes, and then he was seriously injured. He died after it was confirmed that Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang was selected as the monarch.
This character only has so many roles in the play, but his importance is no less important than that of the protagonists.
Even from the perspective of the entire "Qin Empire" series, Qin Xiangong's role is very crucial.
As the first leader of the Qin Kingdom to appear, Qin Xiangong set the tone for the subsequent Qin kings and kings.
The phrase "old Qin bravely fought against the national calamity together" that runs through the entire series, as well as the strong and brave spirit of the Qin people, are all reflected from the era of Qin Xiangong.
From the perspective of the drama "Fission", Qin Xiangong died due to injuries sustained during the battle against Wei. Before his death, he was filled with grief and anger and dragged Qin Xiaogong to tell his long-cherished wish to conquer Qin.
It allows the audience to understand the situation of Qin at that time, and also feel the urgent need of the Qin monarch to change the current situation of a weak country and poor people, paving the way for Shang Yang's future reforms.
At the same time, from a plot perspective, Qin Xiaogong was determined to make Qin stronger at all costs and avenge Wei because of his father's hatred for the country.
Such a character, even if he doesn't have many roles, is still a key figure in the play, and he is very brilliant.
For such a role, it is possible to hire a well-established celebrity to make a cameo, and people will not feel embarrassed.
But characters like Mencius and Sun Bin only have a few scenes.
Mencius once had a debate with the protagonist Shang Yang in Jixia Academy. It was about the debate over the ideals of governing the country. To be more specific, it was the debate between law and Confucianism.
This debate must have been related to Shang Yang's exposition of the philosophy of governing the country. After that, Mencius almost did not appear.
As for Sun Bin, he mainly helped Qin to deal with Pang Juan, a general of Wei, and did not appear much.
However, even so, it would be an honor for a sub-sage and a grandson, no matter how great they are, to be able to appear as ancient sages in front of these two people.
Who will find fault?
Who dares to challenge!
Zuo Le even admired himself, how could he have such a small brain, how could he be so smart, and come up with such a magical operation.
The all-star "Qin Empire" is boring enough, but we can create an all-star group of celebrities from the Warring States Period.
And this not only satisfies his collecting habit as a director, but also has many benefits in terms of the quality of TV series.
These historical celebrities can leave their names in the history, and all of them are outstanding. It is really not something ordinary actors can do to restore some of their charm.
Many of those well-known celebrities are veteran actors, which are perfect matches for these historical celebrities who have few roles but are extremely outstanding.
It’s simply a double-edged sword!
