Chapter 366 Unique Characters

During this period, only two films, "On the Beach at Night Alone" and "Harry Potter", were very popular in the domestic film market.

But the TV drama market is a little different.

Three of the four great classics have been remade and all have been aired.

Moreover, the ratings are not low, and the corresponding topics are also very popular.

There are mixed reviews, some praising and some criticizing. For viewers who have not read the old versions of the Four Great Classics, the newly filmed versions are undoubtedly more grand and distinctive in terms of scenes, props, and shot selection.

For those who are older or have watched the older version, the lines and characters in the new version of the classic are undoubtedly something they complain about.

But no matter what, at least it is directed by a mainland director and produced by CCTV, so the quality is guaranteed, and there will not be the kind of random adaptations like those in Vietnam, Japan and South Korea.

Moreover, the review standards of the State Administration of Optoelectronics have basically been becoming increasingly strict in recent years.

As early as the 1980s and 1990s, the scale of domestic TV dramas was still quite large.

For example, in Fu Yiwei's version of "Investiture of the Gods", the actresses in the play wore very little, and in some scenes they even wore bikinis.

But in fact, many viewers don’t know that there is another more explicit version of "Investiture of the Gods", which is the 89 version starring Liang Li.

This version is unprecedented and unparalleled. Because it was too bloody, horrifying, and erotic, it was banned after only five episodes. It is worth mentioning that the opening of this version is "leaky". Which domestic drama dares to compare?
Since then, the standards for domestic dramas have become increasingly strict. The most typical example is the "breast cutting incident" in "The Empress of China" in 14.

However, the person who is currently making the most news in the circle is Nie Yuan.

The TV series "Journey to the West" starring him has very high ratings and he has been on TV frequently during this period.

Because this drama was also produced by Zhang Jizhong, the original "Yang Guo" incident was inevitably brought up again, and the topic remained high.

This time, Nie Yuan also revealed a lot of inside information.

"I was so stupid at first. I always thought that my acting skills didn't meet the producer's requirements. I didn't expect that I could "spend money" to buy a role."

"Now that the facts have happened, there is no point in saying anything, and I will not cooperate with "him" in the future."

This statement immediately ignited the Internet. After all, whether in the eyes of the media or people in the circle, these two are both popular young actors in mainland China. As a result, they are now directly tearing each other apart. This topic is no less important than the Four Dan and Two Bing incident a while ago.

Fans of both sides also had different opinions. Some even dug out the audition photos of the two and started arguing fiercely. However, they could not have imagined that this argument would play into Big Beard's hands.

After all, this publicity effect can be achieved without spending any money. At this moment, the bearded man can't wait to give himself a thumbs up.

...

Capital, the crew of "The Blade of the Assassin".

After finishing the morning's filming, we called it a day and had lunch at noon.

Su Chang and Zhu Dan were talking and laughing, and were still discussing the scenes to be filmed today.

Some supporting actors and extras lined up to get their meals, but Su Chang and the others were naturally not among them. After all, there was a difference in treatment between extras and stars in the crew.

The quality of the food provided by a crew during filming depends mainly on the crew's budget and the location of the set.

For example, when filming in big cities like the capital or Shanghai, even if the crew’s boxed lunches are not available, you can still order takeout. But if it is inconvenient in remote areas, you can only wait for the boxed lunches.

Of course, it also depends on whether it is a costume drama or a modern drama. If it is a costume drama, everyone gathers in a remote place, and there will be such problems.

The crew of "The Blade of the Assassin" is at Huairou Film and Television City in the capital, and the lunch boxes are divided into two groups: the official crew members and the extras.

It's not that the money is short, it's mainly because if the official members of the crew eat the same food as the extras, the stars will be afraid of getting upset, and the extras won't necessarily remember your kindness. There are many conventional "rules" in the entertainment industry. Maybe Lu Yang can break this unspoken rule, but others may not accept it. After all, clear hierarchy is the norm in the industry.

However, Su Chang's assistant took lunch boxes for the two of them, then returned and got into a Toyota Alpha.

The interior of the car was luxuriously decorated, and there was a small dining table filled with all kinds of takeout. Seeing this, Zhu Dan couldn't help but say, "The food is really good. It seems that you put a lot of effort into eating."

Zhu Dan graduated from Zhejiang University of Media and Communications and started her career as a host. She had only filmed one TV series before, "Old Dreams", with Chen Kun and Li Xiaoran. This is her first time filming a movie.

Su Chang smiled faintly and said, "I don't have any hobbies. If I do have one, eating is one of them. In the past, when I wasn't filming, I would study food all day long, such as what is delicious and what foods won't make you fat..."

Zhu Dan listened to Su Chang while eating without interrupting her. Before coming, she knew the relationship between Su Chang and Liu Yifei, that they were best friends. After arriving at the crew, Zhu Dan and Su Chang got along very well, and their relationship gradually became better and better.

The purpose of doing this is very simple. First, Zhu Dan thinks Su Chang has a good personality and they can get along well. Second, she wants to see if she can get in touch with Liu Yifei or even Gu Wei through Su Chang. However, it is not for herself, but for someone else.

Su Chang felt a little hungry while talking. Seeing Zhu Dan showing off her meal, he couldn't help but start eating. After eating a few bites, he looked at Zhu Dan and couldn't help but said, "Hey, Sister Dan, I see you eat a lot, how do you still keep such a good figure?"

"Controlling your diet is one thing, but the main thing is to rely on fitness. In fact, you have a pretty good figure!"

Su Chang smiled in surprise, "Really? It's okay. I can actually eat a lot. Fortunately, my figure hasn't changed. But I really need to go to the gym more often in the future."

Hearing this, Zhu Dan glanced at her and said seriously: "It's true. In fact, your body is quite malleable. It will be more perfect if you practice hard. If you want to practice, I can teach you some techniques."

At this time, Su Chang smiled even more happily and said, "Okay, let's go to the gym together when we have time, and I'll ask you for advice." Zhu Dan said, "No problem!"

The "friendship" between women is very subtle. They often become friends with each other with just a few words, but they can also suddenly fall out and expose each other's dirty laundry.

The relationship between Su Chang and Zhu Dan was naturally noticed by other people in the crew.

As for the other female actors, most of them had a lukewarm attitude towards Zhu Dan. Fortunately, no one caused any trouble. At least on the surface, the atmosphere in the crew was still "harmonious".

At the same time, in the corner of the crew, Zhou Yiwei, who was holding a lunch box, was silently picking up rice grains. He seemed absent-minded, but in his mind he was thinking about how to use the shortest lines to highlight the character of his role.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Zhou Yiwei's mind. He took a few big bites of his lunch box, stood up and walked quickly towards Lu Yang.

On the other side, in the tent built by the crew, Lu Yang, Zhao Wenzhuo and others were sitting at a small dining table.

There were two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes on the table, with drinks, fruits and other things next to them. This was enough to show the difference between him and others.

At this moment, Lu Yang, who was eating his meal with big mouthfuls, didn't notice Zhou Yiwei coming next to him.

After a while, Lu Yang turned his head and looked at the assistant, "Have you eaten? Sit down and eat something."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wenzhuo pulled a chair from the side. Zhou Yiwei didn't hesitate to sit down, but didn't move his chopsticks. At this moment, all he was thinking about were the lines and the scenes, and he had no appetite at all.

Seeing his condition, Lu Yang knew that the other party was in trouble. After eating a few bites casually, several people started chatting in the tent.

The other people nearby were not far away, and were not surprised to see this situation. In their crew, from the director to the small supporting actors, everyone would discuss their roles whenever they had time.

Everyone has put in a lot of effort for this movie, and everyone is holding their breath. Many people are hoping that the box office will make a comeback after it is released.

Among them, Zhao Wenzhuo had the strongest idea. Not only did he take filming seriously, he also practiced fighting moves privately.

However, when everyone has nothing to do after filming, they will also discuss some gossip and hot topics in the circle.

Gu Wei’s latest movie was, of course, also within the scope of their discussion.

“I wonder who will be lucky enough to get a role in Director Gu’s movie.”

This sentence is the most popular in the crew.

...

On the 13th, the premiere of "The Founding of a Party" was held in the capital with great fanfare.

Chief director Han Sanping, director Huang Jianxin and the main creative cast and crew attended the premiere, and almost everyone in the circle who received the invitation was present.

Gu Wei naturally also went there, together with Song Ge and Ning Hao. As for Wuershan, he was thinking about the script and did not choose to go.

Nearly 60 stars including Chow Yun-fa, Liu Peiqi, Fan Binbin, Li Xiang, Liu Ye, Li Chen, Li Qin, Liu Tao, Feng Yuanzheng, He Ping, Bao Beier and others appeared at the scene.

Of course, it is impossible to hold only one premiere of "The Founding of a Party".

Subsequently, one more event was held in Jinan, Hong Kong Island, and Monterey Park in Southern California, USA.

To this end, the event also launched the "Glorious 90 Years - Historical Photo Exhibition of the CPC Shizhong District", co-organized by the JN City Shizhong District Party History Research Office and the Jiusan Society JN City Committee.

The venue for the Hong Kong Island event was at the Convention and Exhibition Centre. The main creative team, including directors Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin and leading actors Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Ye, Feng Yuanzheng, Angelababy and others, met with the Hong Kong Island audience. The Acting Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Henry Tang, and others served as the guests of honor.

As for North America, the film "The Founding of a Party" held a grand media premiere in Monterey Park, Southern California, and received high praise from dozens of Chinese and mainstream media reporters, film critics, political and business leaders, and ordinary audiences.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Wei attended the premiere of "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan", but he only stayed for a while, chatted with Li Binbin and others, and then found an excuse to leave.

He really doesn't like some people and is not willing to communicate with them too much.

On the 15th, the tribute blockbuster "The Founding of a Party" was released in major theaters across the country, but the box office performance did not go as Han Sanping predicted.

"The box office of "The Founding of a Party" exceeded 20 million on the first day!"

"According to media experts' predictions, it is expected to surpass the box office of Founding of a Republic."

Media reporters naturally pick out the good-looking reports.

However, at this moment in the office of the chairman of China Film Group, Han Sanping's expression was particularly ugly.

By the second week, the box office seemed to have exceeded 2 million, but Han Sanping's mood also fell to the bottom.

"With this figure, let alone 1 billion, I estimate that in the end it may not even be able to match the box office of The Founding of a Republic."

Afterwards, Han Sanping hurriedly asked director Huang Jianxin to bring a group of celebrities to start another wave of publicity.
