Chapter 28 Confess Identity
Ji Xiang was previously Li Bingbing’s publicity director…

In fact, he had always been in Li Bingbing's team. At the beginning of the year, Wang Jinghua formed her own BJ 18 and called him over...

Ji Xiang was initially responsible for the company's marketing and promotion, and didn't really want to manage artists!
After all, Li Bingbing is close to maturity and is about to reach the maximum level.

Who would leave their max-level account and play a lower-level one?

The sense of satisfaction is too low!
I heard from Wang Jinghua that there is a piece of uncut jade.

So, he came out again.

After a quick observation, it turns out that he is indeed a potential superstar!

Regardless of appearance or temperament...

The key point is that his conversation is also correct, his thinking is very clear, and he directly asked, "What is the most suitable role!"

Generally speaking, it is the management team that decides whether an artist accepts a role!
Because it is difficult for the artist himself to judge the quality of a play...

You can only judge whether a director or screenwriter is good or bad by looking at his past works.

But literary and artistic works themselves are a gamble!
Let me put it this way: after watching Farewell My Concubine, I was blown away by Chen Kaige's talent. I felt that this film alone would suffice to make him a name for himself in film history. Later, I watched The Fall of the City (also known as The Great Swordsman Wang Wu or The First Sword of China) and was amazed by the level of dialogue and plot of the screenwriter. It was a film that only a great talent could have written. The screenwriter of this film is Zhang Tan...

The two collaborated to create a movie called "The Promise"!
Including Cameron's famous work "Terminator", the first version of the "Terminator" script, including the cover, was only four pages, and the core sentence was "A robot beats up the big idiot that I hate the most"...

Furthermore, it's rare for an artist team to change a script these days. Hai Qing was the first to do so, followed by Sun Li, and then a group of actors followed suit. It's become so common that the highlight moments of a show are being fought over by everyone...

I heard there's a costume drama in which each of the three main actors brings their own screenwriter to the crew, and they write original scenes every day, fighting fiercely for the spotlight.

The director even had a dispute with one of the leading male actors over a scene, and the crew had to stop working for several days.

In the end, the show received mediocre response, and the main creative staff suffered serious work-related injuries.

……

Ji Xiang analyzed, "'Meteor Butterfly Sword' is a Gu Long drama. The original novel is quite famous, and it will be broadcast on CCTV... If possible, I would definitely recommend you audition for the role of Meng Xinghun..."

Shen Yan immediately realized that there was something behind his words and asked decisively: "So, is there a problem?"

"Well, the show has already tentatively cast Chen Chuhe as the lead actor..."

Shen Yan scratched his head. "Chen Chuhe...the famous second-generation Taiwanese gangster?"

“…Yes, that’s him.”

Shen Yan sighed: "Tsk tsk, gang members can become actors and even appear on TV..."

“…After all, they’re Taiwanese. That’s called a household registration advantage!”

Wang Jinghua interrupted: "Don't talk about that."

Shen Yan changed the subject: "...What about 'The Strange Hero Yizhimei'?"

Ji Xiang: "Tangren's martial arts dramas have always been good. I heard that they made this drama to suppress the Korean drama "Iljimae" (starring Lee Joon-gi), and they specially found Deng Liqi to write the script and Li Guoli to be the chief director!"

This is true. Li Guoli said in an interview that "Ilzhimei originated in China, and this time "Strange Hero Ilzhimei" is not a remake, but a creation based on Chinese folk legends."

Clearly, they want to compete with the Korean version of "Iljimae"...

Deng Liqi was a screenwriter at TVB before joining Milkyway Image. He has written many scripts, including "Accident", "Flash Point", and "Monster".

He is a well-known screenwriter, and Li Guoli is a benchmark director of Tangren...

A powerful combination, it’s a great drama no matter how you look at it!
Shen Yan asked in return: "Is there a role for the villain?"

"Well, I read the full script. The villain's development and mental changes are sufficient... The logic is also very good."

Shen Yan nodded and asked casually, "Could it be that the lead actor is also an actor from Hong Kong or Taiwan?"

Ji Xiang touched his nose and said, "You guessed right, the protagonist is Huo Jianhua!"

"Damn... Where's the Peacock Feather?"

"Zhou Yi's works..." "Zhou Yi..." Shen Yan thought for a moment...

Of course he knew Zhou Yi—because of a post he had read: Zhou Yi, the film and television company that produced 4 hit dramas in 9 years and disappeared for nearly 10 years...

However, he has not seen "Peacock Feather"...

Gu Long's "Seven Weapons" is divided into six independent stories, namely the Sword of Immortality, Peacock Feather, Jade Knife, Love Ring, Overlord Spear and Farewell Hook.

The Jade Knife represents honesty, the Immortal Sword represents a smile, the Peacock Feather represents confidence, the Affectionate Ring represents hatred, the Overlord Spear represents courage, and the Parting Hook represents modesty.
Actually, these books are not very readable.

Many people say that after completing "Heroes Without Tears", Gu Long entered a period of decline, his creations plummeted, and ghostwriting became rampant.

In fact, after "Tian Ya Ming Yue Dao", it was never the same again!
The six books of "Seven Weapons" are actually inferior to "Heroes Without Tears".

However, Zhou Yi should be better at fantasy dramas like "Water Moon Cave", right?
And... they rarely use outsiders...

Shen Yan hesitated: "Will they choose me?"

"It depends on your audition performance..."

“…Okay, I’ll try my best…”

Shen Yan nodded and then asked, "How much is my salary now?"

"You're a complete newcomer... and you're not a professional, 5,000 per episode..."

"Five thousand...wow, that's a lot! I was only making around five thousand a month with the lead actor before!"

Ji Xiang asked casually: "Are you short of money?"

Shen Yan nodded. "I was really short of money before. I didn't know anything when I came to BJ. After half a year, I only had a few hundred yuan left... But now it's okay. Last month I received nearly 4 yuan in royalties!"

"Royalty? You write something?"

"Yes, it's a martial arts novel... called 'Lotus Tower,' serialized in 'Legends of the Past and Present: Martial Arts Edition'..."

"Didn't you graduate from high school?"

"You can't write martial arts novels after graduating from high school? Gu Long dropped out of high school in his second year..."

Gu Long did drop out of school in his second year of high school, started hanging out on the streets, and joined the local gang, the Four Seas Gang...

After joining the Four Seas Gang, Gu Long often participated in gang activities, leaving many scars on his body.

Due to financial difficulties, he began to make a living by writing. In 1955, he published the novel "From North to South" in the Morning Light magazine. Later, he began to help many "famous writers" write for him.

"So do you still have time to write novels?"

"...I think so," Shen Yan thought for a moment and said, "I have another online novel that is currently being serialized... It's called "The Supreme One in This Life"..."

"Online article?"

"It's a fantasy novel... You can search it, it's quite famous!"

Ji Xiang immediately opened the mobile browser and typed in "The Supreme Being"...

Wang Jinghua asked, "What if you join the group?"

"We'll talk about it later! I type very quickly, 4,000 words an hour..."

"…Ranked first on the monthly new book ticket list?"

"Correct!"

"Tsk, tsk, that's awesome!"

Wang Jinghua didn't quite understand: "Is it really that impressive?"

Ji Xiang said: "In any industry, being in the top 20 is a kind of ability..."
