The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 254 The Butterfly Effect
At the same time that Han Jiadong started filming "Saint", Yang Mi also started casting for "Capital Love Story".

The appeal of movies filmed by popular stars who start their own companies may be limited, but with the addition of Han Jiadong's name, it's completely different.

The understaffed casting crew was inundated with audition resumes.

Yang Mi also experienced the feeling of being an audition teacher. Sitting behind the table, watching the audition actors come in one after another, either nervously or excitedly starting to perform, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable wonderful feeling in her heart.

“Is this what it’s like when that guy is hosting the audition?”

From being promoted from an actor to an audition teacher, to a boss who can decide whether an audition actor should stay or go with just one word, Yang Mi felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

"In this way, we should be able to get closer to that guy, right?"

As for the choice of director, Yang Mi invited Zhao Baogang.

His representative works include "Desire", "The Story of the Editorial Office", "Having Fun", "A Romantic Affair", "Struggle", "Who Makes the Call of My Youth"...

Won all three major TV drama awards: Feitian, Magnolia, and Golden Eagle.

She not only stars in this drama, but the company also holds part of the investment share.

Personality aside, Chen Sicheng is indeed very talented.

Especially on the market, I have a thorough research and know what the audience wants to see and what they like to see.

Zhao Baogang wanted to use Wen Zhang, but Yang Mi felt that Wen Zhang was not handsome enough and wanted to replace him with a more handsome one.

Because the main male characters are not very good-looking, The Original Spacetime is rarely regarded as an idol drama.

After leaving all the casting tasks to Zhao Baogang, she joined the crew of "Gong Lock Heart Jade".

The two sides were in a stalemate, with no one willing to give in.

For "Capital Love Story", Zhao Baogang determined the final candidate after passing the audition.

On the other side, after several months of casting and interviewing thousands of people, Zhang Yimou still couldn't find a suitable candidate. He finally had to accept Zhang Weiping's suggestion and let Liu Yifei audition.

After Yang Mi received Han Jiadong's affirmation, her confidence was greatly increased, and she chose to go head-on with Zhao Bao without flinching.

The female lead Liu Sisi, the male lead Zhu Yilong, the second male lead Qiao Zhenyu...

Although the three views are incorrect and the plot is bloody, there is no doubt that it is the kind of content that can create hot spots and attract people's attention.

The male lead Feng Shaofeng, the second male lead He Shengming, the second female lead Jenny Guo...

As long as Zhao Baogang really chooses the actors according to the standards of idol dramas, she has no objection.

Han Jiadong actually doesn't like Wen Zhang either, but he knows how much his words affect a person.

In the end, Yang Mi called Han Jiadong directly.

In the original time and space, Zhang Yimou searched for a long time before he found Zhou Dongyu, a girl who barely satisfied him.

As a result, she and Zhang Yi broke up after filming.

Because when inviting the other party, Yang Mi promised that the other party would have the final decision on casting.

The drama "Capital Love Story" is a good example of his talent in this area.

It can be said that in the field of TV dramas, he is one of the top directors in the country.

Hearing Yang Mi say that she planned to use handsome men and beautiful women for the main roles, Han Jiadong agreed with her idea.

So he didn't express his opinion on Wen Zhang and only let Yang Mi express her thoughts.

If Yang Mi really had her way and all the main roles were handsome men and beautiful women, the results would most likely be even better than the original film.

New actors newly signed by Jiami, such as Zhang Tianai, Li Chun, and Yuan Bingyan, will also play some small roles in it.

But soon after inviting her, Yang Mi regretted it.

As for acting...it really doesn't matter in this kind of drama.

She finally figured it out. Han Jiadong's script could make a profit from tying a dog, so why did she have to hire a big director?

Even though the male character actor looks nothing like the male protagonist of the idol drama, the drama "Original Time and Space" has achieved very good results.

After Zhao Baogang heard that Han Jiadong approved Yang Mi's idea, he finally backed down and said that he could not use Wen Zhang, or he could cast the main role according to the standards of idol dramas, but the final decision still rested with him.

For example, Chen Xiao and Zhu Yilong.

Yang Mi knew that Zhao Baogang was looking for a way down the stairs, so she didn't continue to press. Anyway, she didn't have to force anyone into the crew.

After Hu Ge, who both were satisfied with, declined the invitation because he wanted to film "Famous Catchers 2", the two had disagreements over the selection of the male protagonist.

Now that Zhang Weiping has been encouraging him, it is obvious that he can no longer choose slowly and calmly like in the original time and space.

The male lead is Luo Jin, who became famous with "My Love from the Star", the second male lead is Zhang Ruoyun, and the third male lead is Zhu Yawen.

The female characters in the original film were all pretty beauties. As the director and starring Chen Sicheng himself had limited looks and was afraid of being compared to the male characters, he did not dare to invite the handsome guys. In the name of brothers, he asked Zhang Yi to follow them. Li Chen matched him.

At the same time, the filming of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" also started.

Han Jiadong's name played a big role in inviting him here, otherwise Yang Mi might not be able to invite this great god.

If word gets out that he "doesn't like Wen Zhang", Wen Zhang will no longer be able to work in the entertainment industry.

The heroine Yang Mi, the second heroine Wang Luo Dan, the third heroine Shu Chang, the fourth heroine Liu Yan...

But its content is undoubtedly a fusion of various idol dramas.

Especially when the previous movie's box office reviews were not ideal.

After Liu Yifei received the invitation, she naturally agreed happily.

As early as the last time Han Jiadong mentioned this movie to her, she bought the original novel and read it.

Although Zhang Yimou's literary films at this time are no longer as attractive as Han Jiadong's, they are still obviously the top resources in the country.

After reading the original novel, Liu Yifei immediately fell in love with this story.

However, Han Jiadong didn't want to help recommend, and she couldn't recommend herself.

Now receiving the invitation suddenly can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

The day of the audition.

After preparing for such a long time, her performance, even if it is not perfect, is definitely not comparable to those of amateurs.

In the end, Zhang Yimou decided to play the heroine after much consideration.

After signing the contract, Liu Yifei immediately reported the good news to Han Jiadong.

Han Jiadong was surprised and sighed at the same time.

Jingqiu gave it to Liu Yifei. With Zhou Dongyu's conditions, if he missed this opportunity, he might not even be able to enter the entertainment industry.

Han Jiadong felt even more strange when he learned that the male lead was not the distinctive-looking Dou Xiao in the original film, but the newbie Li Yifeng.

He was not surprised that Dou Xiao was replaced.

With Dou Xiao's good looks, he is a good match for Zhou Dongyu. They both have their own characteristics.

But after the heroine was replaced by Liu Yifei, the two of them obviously had different styles when put together.

It's just that this person was replaced...

Of course, Han Jiadong would not point fingers at Zhang Yimou.

Li Yifeng, who has not been polluted by the entertainment industry, is not necessarily bad at this time.

Even if he has a bad nature and is still a newbie, he would not have the guts to do anything to Liu Yifei.

The crew of "Sorrow".

After filming for more than two months, the movie finally came to an end.

The "mother" who suddenly appeared was indeed fake, and the purpose of approaching the male protagonist was to take revenge on the male protagonist.

The male protagonist forced his own son to death in revenge for collecting loan sharks.

Her method of revenge is to make the male protagonist accept his mother's identity before committing suicide.

The purpose is to let the male protagonist also experience the pain of losing a loved one.

And it's not a simple suicide, it's a suicide disguised as homicide. Pretending to be revenge on the male protagonist by those who have been hurt by the male protagonist, making the male protagonist regret his actions.

But in the process of contact, she found that while she was slowly letting the male protagonist regard her as her mother, she also slowly regarded the male protagonist as her own son, and she understood how pitiful and difficult it was for the male protagonist who had been without a mother since he was a child.

But the plan could no longer be stopped.

In the end, she died in front of the male protagonist.

It also achieved her original purpose.

The male protagonist finally realized his mistake, apologized to those he had hurt, and chose to commit suicide.

The way to commit suicide is to trap yourself in a car and drag yourself to death.

The car still belonged to the person he had hurt.

The other party also threatened to tie him to the car and drag him to death.

After the filming of "The Holy Spirit" was completed, Han Jiadong returned to the capital to rest for a few days, met with Tong Yi and Tong Liya respectively, and then went to the Magic City to arrange various matters for the second season of "The Voice" before flying there Went to Iceland and officially started filming for Game of Thrones.

The other actors had already joined the group to prepare, and soon got into the mood after Han Jiadong arrived.

Although Emilia's friend Ellie failed to compete for Sansa, she still managed to get a small role.

——Rose the prostitute.

Because this role had a lot of nude scenes, Ellie successfully won the role with her milky skin and plump figure.

After the first nude scene, Ellie cried.

She threw herself into the arms of Emilia, who came to her room to comfort herself, and asked with tears streaming down her face: "Will you look down on me?"

Emilia touched her head and comforted her: "How could it be? I also have nude scenes myself."

After hearing what she said, Ellie finally felt better.

She would accept a role with such scenes precisely because she knew that her friend also had nude scenes.

Thinking about having her friends by her side, she mustered up the courage to take it.

Emilia felt uncomfortable when she saw her friend's reaction after filming the nude scene. She had been prepared to welcome the nude scene calmly, but now she felt uneasy and even afraid.

"Do you...regret it?"

she asked hesitantly.

Ellie shook her head blankly: "I don't know."

That night.

After coming out of Ellie's room, Amelia came to director Han Jiadong's room.

For this great director who chose her, she felt grateful and even admired from the bottom of her heart.

She could only think of this person who could help her in this matter.

"Director, I would like to ask, can you not take off all your clothes for tomorrow's nude scene?"

She looked at Han Jiadong expectantly.

Unfortunately, Han Jiadong quickly dashed her hopes.

"What's a nude show if you don't take off your whole body?"

Compared with domestic film and television dramas where nude scenes cannot be released even if they are filmed, there are not so many restrictions abroad.

Moreover, Han Jiadong does not deny that he has double standards for domestic and foreign actors.

For domestic actors, he will take care of their thoughts.

He doesn't have that leisurely attitude toward foreign actors.

Of course, there is a more important reason.

Nudity is not the main reason for the success of Game of Thrones, but without it, Game of Thrones would never have become so popular around the world so quickly!
As early as during the audition, he asked Amelia if she could accept the nude scene. Since the other party agreed at that time, Han Jiadong had no reason to tolerate the other party's regrets after getting the role.

Under his resolute attitude, Emilia had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

the next day.

Before the nude scene in the bath began, although Han Jiadong still asked to be completely naked, he also chose to clear the scene and drive out all the irrelevant people.

As one piece of clothing was taken off, Emilia's hot figure was revealed under her baby face.

After the nude scene was filmed, Emilia also cried in her friend's arms.

But with the first scene, the second, and the third nude scene, I felt much more calm.

After spending nearly three months filming the first season of Game of Thrones, when I returned to China, the second season of "The Voice" had already started airing.

Although Han Jiadong was not present at the scene, there were no problems during the recording and broadcasting process.

The competition system has been slightly adjusted compared to the first season. The biggest difference is that there is no longer only one person from each group advancing to the final peak night.

Instead, it was increased to two people per group.

Increased confrontation between groups.

According to the previous rules, even if one of his students takes last place, he will not be disgraced as a mentor.

Because one of the four people will always be fourth.

But now, if on the final peak night, the two people in my own group are eliminated by other people in the PK as soon as they come up, they will take the last two.

Not even mentioning taking the last two, even if there is not a single student in the top four, it will make the instructor lose face.

This forces instructors to show some real skills when teaching students.

Unlike the previous rules, even if you just take money to get by, it doesn't matter if you end up in last place.

This is also a good thing for students.

Not only can you learn more skills, but you can also avoid being unable to enter the peak night because your teammates are too strong.

You can also get closer to the tutor who is already a famous singer during the tutor's teaching process.

In terms of naming rights, this time they were sold very smoothly before the broadcast.

It was still won by Jiaduobao.

The naming fee exceeded 200 million this time!

It once again set a record for the naming fee of a variety show.

Just looking at this number, you can tell that Jiaduobao definitely made a lot of money from "The Voice".

Other manufacturers who participated in the bidding but ultimately missed out on the naming rights sighed with regret.

The performance of the second season of "The Voice" was not as good as expected.

The first episode received a ratings of 4.1% and a share of 12.86%!

Both data ranked first in the same period, leaving the second place far behind.

It also set a ratings record for the first episode of any variety show.

The super high ratings, super ability to attract money, and Han Jiadong's reputation have made foreign peers pay attention to this variety show.

Among them, the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States was the first to come to the door.

Everyone on the program team was very excited about their arrival.

How excited are you?

"That's the United States! They come to buy variety show rights from us. This is the first time in history! Even if we sell it to them for free!"

Someone even said this.

There are not many people who have this idea.

Even the top executives of Shanghai Film Studio and the newly established MSG (Modu Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group) have people who think this way.

So sick!
