China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Martial arts dramas are very cumbersome to shoot. In order to save shooting time, like "Little Li Fei Dao", "The Swordsman" also found two directors, one for the literary drama and one for the martial arts drama.

Huang Jianzhong is in charge of literary drama, and Yuan Bin is in charge of martial arts, so the crew is also divided into two groups, often shooting separately and at the same time.

Of course, for some big scenes, the two groups will still film together.

On the second day after joining the group, Qi Wei devoted himself to filming. In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and it was early July.

"Click! Passed!" As the recorder shouted, the last scene of the day passed smoothly without any accident.

Qi Wei and Xu Qing, who participated in the scene, left the scene talking and laughing. Cheng Hao, who did not participate in the scene, immediately brought them water and joined them. The scene was full of fun.

I have to say that Qi Wei's relationship with women is really good.

Zhang Bearded looked at Qi Wei with some envy, and then nodded with satisfaction.

When he first approached Qi Wei, he was interested in Qi Wei's reputation. As for Qi Wei's acting skills, well, he just had to be passable as long as he didn't make people look too dramatic.

After all, Qi Wei is still a student at Nortel, and his professional course results are not particularly outstanding in the class, so Zhang Dabeard does not have high requirements for Qi Wei's acting skills.

But what people didn't expect was that during the filming, Qi Wei's performance greatly exceeded Zhang Dabeard's surprise.

Except when Qi Wei first joined the crew, because he didn't adapt to the filming rhythm of the crew, he occasionally had problems in a few scenes. Later, he adapted to the filming rhythm of the crew and his condition got better and better.

At first it was "form", but now it is really both spirit and form, as if a real Linghu Chong appeared before his eyes.

In fact, the role of Linghu Chong is not that easy to play.

In the original work, the character Linghu Chong has contradictions in personality and behavior. He is carefree and bohemian, but he also has a lot of frustration and depression.

Linghu Chong has to have both personalities at the same time. He has to show the characteristics of the character and fit the plot. In fact, it is difficult to get the right balance.

In addition, Zhang Beard's version of "The Swordsman" is close to the realism style. If the acting is not good, it will highlight Linghu Chong's depression and make Linghu Chong's character look useless.

Of course, if it is a handsome face, it can make people ignore the shortcomings in acting skills to a certain extent. If it is a very "simple" face.

For details, please refer to the later version of Li Yapeng.

Being able to play the bohemian Linghu Chong into the honest and honest Guo Jing is indeed a talent.

Perhaps it was because of his performance in "The Swordsman" that Zhang Dabeard was deeply impressed, and he chose to cooperate with Li Yapeng in the production of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Maybe Li Yapeng felt that his performance in "The Swordsman" impressed Zhang Beard, and he also felt that his acting skills were good. In order to highlight the differences between Linghu Chong and Guo Jing, he changed his acting method.

The result is that the honest and honest Guo Jing is played into a fool.

Painting a tiger is not like a dog, but he is really talented.

It is definitely a challenge for actors to make the character fit the original work and at the same time conform to the public impression.

So far, Qi Wei has grasped everything just right and truly restored the essence of Linghu Chong's character and personality.

Zhang Bearded became more and more satisfied with Qi Wei, and Qi Wei ended his chat with Xu Qing and others and walked over.

"Producer Zhang, is my performance okay today?" Qi Wei asked with a smile.

Filming a TV series is not as fussy about details as filming a movie. As long as a scene is not too dramatic, many situations can be passed smoothly.

In other words, it means that you have passed the scene. It doesn’t mean that you feel that your filming is good, but it means that it is really good.

It depends on what the producer and director think about it.

"Not only is your performance good, it's simply impressive. I really didn't expect your acting skills to be so good. Baihua Best Actor is indeed well-deserved."

"Forget about the Hundred Flowers Best Actor. Didn't you see that many people say that I am unworthy and that I rely on public relations instead of acting?"

"I don't care what others say. At least here, I think you are worthy of your reputation."

Zhang Dabeard's words made Qi Wei feel like he had met Bole, and he immediately laughed and complimented him.

"Producer Zhang, you have a good eye for me. I can act well because the actors you selected are all great. It's really comfortable and fun to play opposite them."

Xu Qing and Cheng Hao aside, the one who plays opposite Qi Wei more often is Wei Zi, who plays the role of Yue Buqun in "Junzi Sword". When acting opposite him, Qi Wei can really feel the Yue Buqun he plays. Underneath the appearance of a gentleman, there is a contrasting sense of ambition and ambition.

There is also Li Jie who plays Lin Pingzhi. He is older than Qi Wei, but he is from Nortel Class of 97 and is Qi Wei's junior. He is still a junior at school.

He is a dancer by training, and his appearance, figure, and temperament are very good. His image alone fits the role of Lin Pingzhi. This is why Zhang Dabeard went to Nortel to choose a suitable candidate and fell in love with him at a glance.

But fitting the role does not mean that he can act well. Although Lin Pingzhi looks elegant and humble in the original work, his character is very arrogant and even fierce. In the early stage, he is dressed in bright clothes and angry, and he is high-spirited and arrogant. In the later stage, he is surly, crazy, and cruel. The plot creates the strongest sense of contrast, and it is actually very difficult to interpret this change well.

In Qi Wei's opinion, Li Jie's performance was the best.

Of course, Zhang Beard’s most outstanding casting choice for this version of “The Swordsman” should be Mr. Mao Weitao, who plays the role of Dongfang Invincible.

In 92, Xu Ke once made a movie version of "The Swordsman", in which Lin Qingxia, who played the role of the Invincible Dongfang, created an image that was even more influential than the one in the original work. It can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the Invincible Dongfang. From then on, she basically became a beautiful woman in movies and TV series.

Lu Songxian's 96 version of The Invincible was played by a man, and his acting skills were good and the reproduction was relatively high. However, the weirdness and disgustingness revealed by the man dressing up as a woman caused a lot of criticism from the audience after the broadcast.

There is no way, the oriental girl played by Lin Qingxia is too deep into my heart.

Later, both the Bay Area version and the Singapore version learned their lesson and let actresses play the role of Eastern Invincible.

When Zhang Dabeard was considering the role of Dongfang Invincible, he wanted to follow the original work, but he did not want to repeat the mistakes of the 96 version.

For this reason, Zhang Dabeard auditioned many actors, but none of them satisfied him until he saw the performance of Yue Opera actor Mao Weitao.

And Teacher Mao Weitao did live up to his high expectations. She played Dongfang Bubai, who is indistinguishable from male to female, and maintained the weirdness of the big boss without feeling disgusting. In addition, the appearance of the character and the assassination battle of Heimu Ya were in a certain way. To a certain extent, it is more of a freehand aesthetic.

It doesn't have much screen time, but it's definitely eye-catching, and it can even be considered one of the most outstanding moments in the entire show.

Although it is not consistent with the original work, it is definitely consistent with the public's impression of Dongfang Invincible.

The most outstanding performance.

And these actors are just a microcosm of the whole drama. In fact, in the whole drama, Zhang Bearded's casting is very good. I don’t know why Zhang Dabeard in later generations chose Li Yapeng to play Linghu Chong. Could it be because he came to save the scene?

But no matter what the reason is, the most important casting of the male protagonist failed. No matter how good the casting of other characters is, this drama is destined not to be considered a success.

This is also a very important reason why Zhang Beard's version of "The Swordsman" caused a lot of criticism after it was aired.

But now, with Qi Wei playing the role of Linghu Chong, this problem will naturally not arise.

After exchanging polite words with Zhang Beard, Qi Wei reminded him in a half-joking tone: "Producer Zhang, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be released tomorrow. Remember to bring the crew to support it."

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will hold its premiere in the capital, and Qi Wei has to rush back to the capital, which means he has to leave the group.

After attending the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Qi Wei will not rush back to the set, because Qi Wei's new album will be released in a few days.

It’s been almost a month since I left the group.

Although this matter was discussed before Qi Wei joined the group, it does not mean that Zhang Dabeard is happy to see Qi Wei leave the group.

After all, being away from the group for such a long time can easily affect the actors' filming status.

In addition, Linghu Chong played by Qi Wei almost runs through the entire drama, and there are not many scenes without Linghu Chong.

Qi Wei had already been filming for more than half a month before he joined the team. The rest was not enough for a month, so the filming progress could only be slowed down.

"I understand. I will give the crew a holiday in a few days and let everyone go to the cinema to support it." Zhang Bearded agreed readily.

It doesn't matter, anyway, "The Swordsman" has more than enough funds, so it's not a big deal to slow down the filming progress and just spend more money.

This means that he has no objection. Qi Wei thanked him: "Thank you very much, Producer Zhang."

"Since we have a relationship, there's no need to say thank you."

Zhang Bearded suddenly thought of something and suddenly asked: "Qi Wei, the program called "The Voice of China" produced by your company is quite interesting. Why didn't you consider cooperating with CCTV at the beginning?"

"Uh" Qi Wei looked at Zhang Bearded speechlessly and replied: "Producer Zhang, I originally submitted a cooperation invitation to CCTV, but CCTV did not accept my conditions."

CCTV has a wide coverage. You may not be able to find local stations like Beijing TV in remote mountainous areas, but you can almost always find CCTV channels.

The ratings are guaranteed and the influence is great. Cooperating with CCTV is undoubtedly a good choice.

But there is a problem, that is, "the store bullies customers".

Qi Wei did not want the TV station to interfere with the production of the program, so he cooperated with Beijing TV Station on the premise of agreeing to this condition.

But CCTV refused at that time.

While Qi Wei was filming "The Swordsman", the auditions for "The Voice of China" had already begun.

Qi Wei continued to have high hopes for "The Voice of China" and approved a large sum of money. With his willingness to invest, "The Voice of China" set up audition points in more than ten cities across the country.

The novel competition rules, coupled with the announced list of some mentors, directly made "The Voice of China" popular before it was broadcast.

A large number of music lovers have been attracted to sign up, and auditions are in full swing across the country.

It was so popular that CCTV regretted it.

"That's right, if CCTV is willing to accept your conditions, are you willing to cooperate with CCTV?"

"Aren't I cooperating with CCTV?" Qi Wei asked with a smile, referring to the cooperation in "Swordsman".

Qi Wei also understood what Zhang Beard meant, and then said: "Producer Zhang, my company has signed a contract with Beijing TV Station. If you breach the contract, you will have to pay a lot of money. Besides, the most important thing in doing business is to be trustworthy. Forget it this time, let’s wait until next year.”

"The Voice of China" only signed a one-season contract with Beijing TV, and it can be renegotiated next year.

"Okay, remember to inform us next time we cooperate." Zhang Dabeard just helped the person in charge of the CCTV variety show to find out what Qi Wei said, and did not say what he must accomplish.

Watching Qi Wei and Zhang Dabeard chatting, Xu Qing and Cheng Hao, who were taking a break after filming today, also started chatting.

Xu Qing looked at Qi Wei with fascination, took a sip of water, and asked Cheng Hao in a low voice: "How do you think about the suggestions I gave you before?"

"What suggestions?" Cheng Haodiao replied pretending not to understand, but the twinkling eyes had already given her away.

"Why do you want me to repeat that?"

Xu Qing looked at Cheng Hao, looked at her bald head, showed her iconic dimpled smile, and began to confuse: "Linghu Chong in the play, you can't have your cake and eat it too, but outside the play, you can do whatever you want." Yingying and Yilin are together, I think he will be very happy."

Cheng Hao didn't understand what Xu Qing meant, but she was reluctant. She had sworn that she would never serve with anyone else again, so she couldn't help but frown.

"Ren Yingying and junior sister, this is what Linghu Chong really likes, right?" Cheng Hao replied, meaning to tell Xu Qing to go to others rather than her for such matters.

"Little Junior Sister is not his woman, but you are." Xu Qing replied, smiled and said: "Of course, if you are happy to see Little Junior Sister become his woman, I have no problem with it."

Cheng Hao was naturally not happy to see this.

When she heard this, she couldn't help but look at Miao Yiyi, who played the role of junior sister Yue Lingshan in the distance.

The woman who once played Qin Keqing was indeed very beautiful.

There are many scenes between Linghu Chong and his junior sister. On the set, Qi Wei and Miao Yiyi interact a lot. Although the interactions are more business-related, there is no cat in the world who doesn't steal fish.

Thinking of this, Cheng Hao couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Xu Qing went on to say: "He has many women, and you have many competitors. These competitors will not be as honest as you. They will try every means to compete with you for your favor and win the favor she wants." something you want"

These words reminded Cheng Hao of Zhang Ziyi. She was bewitched by her back in Japan, and the methods she used also allowed her to get what she wanted.

From "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to "Heroes", her resources are so good that they are exploding.

Cheng Hao shook her head to stop herself from thinking about this, and she heard Xu Qing say:

"I can see that you are not the kind of girl who is very ambitious. You have feelings for him and you are after him. But if you continue to follow the rules like this, you cannot become the final winner. Sometimes we should also use some unconventional means.”
