Chapter 174 Looking for a Husband

The most important thing about the TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is the selection of the male lead, because the other roles have been very clear.

The female lead is definitely Yang Mi, the second female lead is definitely Dilireba, and the second and third male leads are either Gao Weiguang or Zhang Yunlong, because they are both artists of Jiaxing Media.

The male lead is very crucial. It's not that other people are not capable of playing the male lead, but for such a big drama, if you don't choose a male lead who can carry the show, it will easily flop.

After all, for this kind of fantasy drama, both the initial publicity and the ratings after the broadcast need to be maintained by fans.

Zhao Ruoyao also finished his report on "Eternal Love" and introduced the male lead.
"As for the selection of the male lead for Eternal Love, we had previously invited Lin Feng, but he was rejected directly.
Lin Feng is definitely the most suitable candidate now. Not only is he the top star of the "Xianjian" drama, but he is also a guarantee of the ratings.

And he has never failed, which is amazing. He is now almost the first choice male lead in all film and television dramas.
It's just that our fairy tale drama didn't seem to pass the test of his agent, and was directly rejected by Lin Feng. Moreover, he still refused even when we increased the salary by 10 million.
Then I invited Hu Ge, Huo Jianhua and other actors who were most suitable for the Xianxia drama, but the results were not very ideal, and they were a bit old.

There are many male lead candidates who have come forward, such as Zhao Youting from Taiwan, but they are a bit far-fetched, so they can be used as backup options. "

"Forget about Mark Chao. He's not handsome and he looks ugly in ancient costume. He's not suitable." Before Yang Mi could say anything, Zeng Jia rejected it.

In the previous life, Eternal Love, they couldn't find a suitable male lead, so they finally chose Zhao Youting to play the male lead.
Although Zhao Youting has won the reputation of "plastic surgery-like acting" for his performance in "Eternal Love",
In the final analysis, isn't it because he looks ugly in ancient costumes? When he was first chosen to play the male lead, the entire Internet was against him. Can he only become popular with his acting skills?
And what acting skills does Mark Chao have? It's nothing more than that his acting is slightly better than others in this ancient idol drama where "the acting is worse than the others".

“But if we don’t choose Mark Chao, we don’t have any other candidates. Are we just going to keep wasting time like this?” said Zhao Ruoyao.

"We can consider him as a backup, but for the other candidates, we can raise their salaries a bit and see if we can still negotiate."

Zeng Jia then said to Yang Mi, "Hey Mimi, this "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is related to the success or failure of our Jiaxing Media's gambling agreement.
If we lose this project, then all our work over the past few years will have been in vain. Now is the time for you to step up and deal with some things!

You have a good relationship with Lin Feng, and you have worked with Hu Ge and Huo Jianhua before. See if you can ask them to help you."

Zhao Ruoyao also said: "Yes, Mimi, I can only count on you at this time. Sometimes many things cannot be solved by money, and we need to repay favors."

As Yang Mi's two closest partners and agents, Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao knew that Yang Mi and Lin Feng had a special relationship.
Otherwise, why would the two of them say this to each other and always lean on Lin Feng.

And Yang Mi also understood what they meant. Didn't they just want her to invite Lin Feng to star in "Eternal Love"?

Yang Mi might have refused before, after all, she didn't want to cause trouble to Lin Feng, and it was just that Lin Feng wanted to take a break and didn't want to disturb him.
But the situation is not certain now. With the pressure of the "3 million bet agreement" and the box office failure of "I Am a Witness",
Yang Mi had no choice but to personally invite Lin Feng to perform. There was no other way. When she had difficulties, she had to ask her husband for help!
Yang Mi was not worried that Lin Feng would refuse, because Lin Feng was a very grateful person. In order to repay Jiang Lei's favor, he accepted Huanrui's "Zhu Xian";
Besides, it was hers. She had helped Lin Feng when he starred in "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
The most important thing is that she is Lin Feng's woman. She doesn't believe that she can't "sleep" Lin Feng. The worst that can happen is that she can ask him to do a few more embarrassing poses.

So Yang Mi finally said, "Okay, I'll tell Lin Feng. I believe it won't be a big problem."

"It will be no problem if Mimi comes forward. As long as you can get Lin Feng to play the leading male role, then we will be successful in this play.

I dare not say 100%, but at least 99%. I can’t say anything else, but at least I can guarantee to get another million yuan in sponsorship.” Zhao Ruoyao promised.

"There is no problem on my side. The copyright for the later broadcast can at least be sold for an additional 200 to 300 million yuan compared to what we are calculating now." Zeng Jia also guaranteed.

At this time, the spirits of the two people have changed. In this unknown film and television project,

I guess this is something only Lin Feng can do, otherwise Huanrui's "Zhu Xian" will have to wait for Lin Feng, isn't it because he is a guarantee of ratings!
After all, every film and television work of Lin Feng has been a success, and this is not just a simple success, but a huge hit.

Even if the worst-case scenario is that Lin Feng's second part really fails, with Lin Feng's fame, at least that failure can be turned into a small hit.
This is the strength of Lin Feng. Not only can he raise the upper limit infinitely, but he can also guarantee the lower limit and provide a bottom-line guarantee.

...

At this time, Lin Feng had officially joined the "Zhu Xian" crew, and filming had already started for two days.

From "Gu Jian Qi Tan" which started filming in July 2013 to "Zhu Xian" which started filming in November 7, this is the first time that Lin Feng has starred in Huanrui's own TV series after a lapse of two years.

When filming "Gu Jian Qi Tan", although Lin Feng was the male lead, he was not treated any differently.
Lin Feng is acting in his own drama "Zhu Xian" again this time, so there is no need to say more about the treatment. Star-rated hotels and special nanny cars are all basic standard features.

Even in the crew, he had a special rest area, and all his things were prepared in advance. He was treated just like an ancient emperor.
He can really "decide life and death with just one word". Not to mention ordinary staff members, he can even decide everything for the main actors of the entire crew.

The female lead is Zhao Liying, so there is no need to explain her relationship with the film. However, she has other scenes to shoot, so she will have to join the crew a few days later.

The other female lead, Yang Zi, is Lin Feng’s college classmate; there are other important characters, all from Huanrui,
Although they are all older than Lin Feng, they are actually just Lin Feng's "little brothers and sisters". The casting of "Zhu Xian" this time is basically the same as the previous life "Qing Yun Zhi".
Cheng Yi plays "Lin Jingyu", Qin Junjie plays "Zeng Shushu", Mao Zijun plays "Qin Wuyan", Liu Xueyi plays "Xiao Yicai", Ren Jialun plays "Liu Wei",
There is also Jiao Junyan playing "Jin Ping'er", and Zhang Yishan's current girlfriend Bai Xue, who was introduced by Lin Feng, playing "Xiao Huan".
The roles haven't changed much, which seems like a bit of historical inertia, but these are the only artists signed by Huanrui.
Since they were chosen in the previous life, even if we choose again now, these people will most likely be selected.

Lin Feng didn't want to worry too much, so he tried not to change the timeline, so that his first-mover advantage could be more obvious.

Actually, the actors selected by Huanrui in the past were not bad, although their performances were not outstanding.

But at least his image on the screen was still handsome, at least he didn't let down the team. Later, Cheng Yi and Ren Jialun became half-top stars.

Moreover, in a drama like this, as long as the acting is generally acceptable, it is fine, but not having good looks is absolutely a taboo. Just like the character "Zhang Xiaofan", the absolute protagonist of "Zhu Xian", everyone knows that the original novel describes him as "plain and ordinary", so why did the previous life choose Li Yifeng to play the role?

There are not many other things in this world, but there are a lot of actors with average looks but excellent acting skills, aren't there?

After all, to put it bluntly, this is a costume idol drama. No matter when or which company shoots it, it is impossible to pick someone with low appearance to be the male lead.

If someone spends a lot of effort to buy such a big IP for adaptation, and then spends hundreds of millions of dollars on production, and also chooses an actor with average looks to be the male lead, how confident would that be?

Film and television IP adaptations must respect the original works, but if some of the character settings are really filmed according to the original works, then it would be a complete failure and fans would not be happy about that!

What’s more, humans are naturally visual animals. If you create a “Zhang Xiaofan” with average looks, wouldn’t that affect the ratings?
Apart from anything else, if the male lead of "Zhu Xian" was replaced by Huang Bo, whose acting skills are better than Lin Feng, would anyone still watch it!

It’s scary to imagine, it’s so inappropriate!

Apart from anything else, as soon as they heard that Lin Feng would be starring in the show, the launch conference of "Zhu Xian" alone was several times more grand than that of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", with hundreds of media reporters coming.

Seeing Lin Feng's influence, Yang Zi was also convinced that his idea was not wrong, and his approach was not wrong.

"Become a popular star first, so you can be guaranteed roles, and then consider becoming a talented actor,"

Even if her leg was broken, Yang Zi was determined to finish the filming. However, she subconsciously touched her leg. Even though she had received a blocking injection, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
However, under the massive publicity campaign of "Zhu Xian", Yang Zi quickly plunged into the filming of "Zhu Xian".

Of course, Yang Zi did not forget to thank Lin Feng again, "Lin Feng, I'm ready. I hope I can keep up with your pace this time."

At this time, Yang Zi no longer doubted Lin Feng's acting skills. She just wanted to avoid embarrassing Lin Feng, so she did not take off her clothes and retreated.

"Just act well, don't think too much."

Lin Feng had too many people on his side. Just after he sent Yang Zi away, the popular idols from TFBOYS came over, and they were also paying their respects to Lin Feng.
"Brother Feng, I'm very happy to work with you, especially with such a good Xianxia drama like "Zhu Xian". I hope you can give me more advice in the future."

As the captain, Wang Junkai expressed his gratitude on behalf of the "three little ones". Lin Feng also smiled and shook hands with the three little ones one by one, saying in a friendly tone:

"No way, you are too polite. We are cooperating with each other, and this is a drama produced by our Huanrui Company. We should thank you for your support!
By the way, I haven’t congratulated you yet. I heard that you will be on the Spring Festival Gala this year. You are all born in the 00s, right? That means you can be on the Spring Festival Gala at the age of 16. Wow, you are really amazing!

Oh my god, think about what I was doing when I was 16? I didn’t even know where I was playing in the mud, I was either skipping classes to surf the Internet, or thinking about writing love letters to girls! It’s true that heroes are rare! ”

As expected, they were all young people, and they all enjoyed Lin Feng’s casual praise, and their faces gradually became radiant.

Originally, when the three of them first came in, they were probably new to the place and were impressed by Lin Feng's aura, so they were basically a little reserved.

However, Lin Feng's exposure of his own shortcomings and his praise of them quickly narrowed the distance between them, and the atmosphere of the conversation suddenly became much more harmonious!
"Brother Feng, you are joking. Compared with you, what kind of young heroes are we? Only people like you can be considered truly young and promising! And I was born in 99, not 00."

Lin Feng laughed, patted Wang Junkai on the shoulder and said, "You are really good at talking, you are mature beyond your years, no wonder you can be the captain!
Based on this point, I am definitely not as good as you! After all, when I was your age, I definitely wasn’t as good at talking as you are! "

After being patted on the shoulder by Lin Feng, Wang Junkai felt that his bones had become lighter. He couldn't help but feel excited and his blood was boiling. His ears suddenly turned red...

Lin Feng actually admires Wang Junkai, even though he had no feelings for the "three little ones" at first.

But because of the popularity of "Mingxue" and watching some of "Chinese Restaurant", his impression of Wang Junkai changed greatly.

It seems that many popular idols were "indifferent", "ignored", or even "disdained" by passers-by at the beginning.
They were all recognized by the public and even became popular again through variety shows, such as Huang Zitao, Meng Ziyi, etc.

However, Lin Feng probably didn't know that the "three little ones" had always regarded him as a role model. Their greatest ideal was to

I hope that one day I can become a "super top star" like Lin Feng is now, being chased by major film and television companies, and being able to take on any project I want and play whatever role I want.

Although the "three little ones" have achieved some achievements so far, they are obviously not enough in front of Lin Feng.

In terms of popularity, Lin Feng at this time is absolutely a top star. The number of his fans is beyond the reach of the "three little ones", not to mention Lu Han and Wu Qian's fans combined can only compare to Lin Feng.

In terms of works, the only representative work they can show off at the moment is the song "Youth Training Manual".
But it is hard to count how many representative works Lin Feng has produced. Since the broadcast of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" in 2014, every one of his works has become popular.

The only advantage of the three little ones is their age, which is about 8 years younger than Lin Feng.
But the three of them are still self-aware and would not be so naive as to think that as long as they continue to develop step by step,
When he reaches Lin Feng's age, he will definitely achieve something even more impressive than Lin Feng's current achievements.

Isn't that pure bullshit?
Popularity or strength, which one has anything to do with the length of time? !
