Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 44 Chess Player

Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes slightly, and then his gaze flashed, as if he suddenly thought of something.

He asked three questions in a row: "That Ciwen should be the investor, right? Why didn't the person they recommended get selected? Wouldn't one on each side be just the right balance?"

Zhou Xiaowen frowned, a flash of hesitation in his eyes, and turned to look at Principal Zhang.

Principal Zhang coughed lightly and slowly said, "Huaxia Audiovisual holds the remake rights for The Return of the Condor Heroes, and Big Beard is an independent non-executive director of this company.

Mr. Ma of Ciwen is an investor in The Return of the Condor Heroes. He once worked for the Audio-Visual Department of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Even now, he still holds the position of "supporting the play".

The bosses of Huaxia Audiovisual and Ciwen, as well as Big Beard, all had "physical" experience in the early days.

Although these two companies are nominally private, they are actually different.

But you can't treat them as people with the same "physique". You have to be aware of the subtleties involved."

Hu Xiaobei opened his mouth slightly, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and he nodded repeatedly. No wonder they say: True transmission can be conveyed in one sentence, false transmission requires thousands of books.

Looking at the problem from this perspective, these things suddenly seem simple.

He thought for a moment and came up with the answer: "Then it looks like Brother Xun is definitely out. There's no hope, right?"

Zhou Xiaowen crossed his arms and remained noncommittal: "That may not be the case. She told reporters on the 10th that she had been chosen to play the role of Little Dragon Girl. However, I didn't see any contract.

Of course, as long as the benefits are big enough, Ciwen may not necessarily refuse.

But if you don't want to pay the price and want to keep it all to yourself, that's impossible."

Hu Xiaobei raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Everyone says he is stingy and greedy, but I think it's a bit risky."

Zhou Xiaowen stretched out a finger, shook it gently, and said meaningfully: "Of course the bearded man is a Pixiu, but he has interests entangled behind him."

"Huaxia Audiovisual? It's unlikely to be involved in such a thing." Hu Xiaobei tilted his head slightly and asked with some doubt.

Zhou Xiaowen smiled complacently and explained, "Boss Pu is already busy with the school, so he doesn't have the energy to deal with these trivial matters.

It’s a floral company!
Everyone recommended by Big Beard has a connection with this company, and he himself is almost the same, probably after he finished filming The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Don't spread this outside, you'll offend a lot of people."

Hu Xiaobei understood it instantly. It was a brilliant move to occupy the magpie's nest and sneak into Chencang.

Even though my appetite is a little too big, I'm not afraid of overeating.

He picked up the teapot and gently and steadily poured each of them a cup of tea. He replied seriously, "Don't worry, I know the answer and I won't tell anyone."

Principal Zhang reached out his hand, steadily picked up the teacup, brought it to his lips, took a sip, and then said leisurely, "Xiaobei, you must remember that actors are chess pieces, and you will definitely be the one playing chess in the future.

Don't worry about such trivial matters. Learn from Director Zhou how to manage the crew and how to film the content you want to show."

Hu Xiaobei stroked his smooth chin and laughed, "Don't worry, Principal, I know what I'm doing. I was just curious just now. My mind is still on studying."

After that, there was a brief silence in the room.

Afterwards, the few of them continued to discuss the previous topic for a while, gradually extending the topic to the subsequent arrangements.

After some discussion, the subsequent rules were decided and then they dispersed.

After coming out of the principal's reception room, Hu Xiaobei strolled briskly along the paths of the Beijing Film Academy campus.

A breeze blew across his cheeks, he took a deep breath, and his mind began to imagine his days on the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

A new and challenging journey is about to begin, and he is fully prepared to take his first solid step in the film and television industry.

However, out of curiosity about the ins and outs of the casting of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Hu Xiaobei still searched for some relevant information on the Internet to confirm what he thought.

You don’t know until you check, and once you check, you will find out how many troubles there are.

It turns out that the casting of The Return of the Condor Heroes has been hyped on the Internet since 03.

There's not much to say about the other characters, except for the male and female protagonists.

The male lead was probably originally confirmed to be Nie Jin. After all, he signed a contract with the investor Ciwen and even had his bones shaved for the role of Yang Guo. His contribution was indeed huge.

Afterwards, he was rejected and his bones were shaved, and the role of Yang Guo was taken by Huang Xiaoming, who had not yet joined the flower art company. In June of the following year, Century Element fell out with Huang Xiaoming over this matter and filed a lawsuit.

Century Element claimed that it had been unaware of the contract signed between Huang Xiaoming and the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

The company believes that Huang Xiaoming's act of signing performance contracts for the TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" without the knowledge of his agency constitutes a serious breach of contract.

Huang Xiaoming lost two lawsuits in a row in Beijing before the matter came to an end.

On December 2006, 12, when the contract between the two parties expired, Huang Xiaoming immediately signed with the floral art company.

The situation with the female lead is even more interesting. The hype started as early as August 03.

From the earliest unreliable rumors about Quan Zhixian and Zhang Bozhi, to Qiong girl Shui Ling, these are all smokescreens.

(PS: Shui Ling's online character selection was an unofficial organization, a group of Jin Yong fans selected it themselves in August 03, and is not recognized.)
In the following months, Shui Ling was still dissatisfied and said publicly: "I think Cheng Kun and I are the most suitable match, and I hope Big Beard will reconsider it."

It was not until June 04 that the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes started the official public online voting.

A group of newcomers began to participate in the online voting and the first batch of auditions of the crew on the 24th.

The best performance in this audition was performed by An Xiaoqian, who was also recognized by the crew and Big Beard himself, and An Xiaoqian also received the highest online votes.

Even Mr. Jin Yong wrote a message of support for An Xiaoqian: "Ms. An Xiaoqian, I hope you can play the role of Xiaolongnu. Only then will millions of readers believe that what Jin Yong wrote is not nonsense."

There are still rumors circulating on the Internet that Jin Yong didn't like her playing the role of Xiaolongnu, which is quite ridiculous.

In fact, the interview in the original video said that they didn’t like the actor who played Yang Guo’s frivolous behavior towards his master, Xiaolongnu, and were worried that An Xiaoqian was shy and didn’t dare to make too big expressions.

However, some people with ulterior motives cut and chopped it up and simply transplanted it.

There are so many things like this happening to An Xiaoqian.

During the online voting, fans of various celebrities even attacked each other and argued endlessly in the forums.

With the persistent voting of the majority of netizens, An Xiaoqian was finally chosen. Everyone thought that An Xiaoqian would win the role of Xiaolongnu.

Just when everyone was anticipating the role, the crew's director Yu Minjie publicly declared to reporters: "An Xiaoqian is too young and has never been in a relationship. How can she play the role of a life-and-death love with Yang Guo?"

After that, An Xiaoqian was half out.

After all, Yu Minjie is an old teammate of Big Beard, so even a few words of master and apprentice are acceptable.

The fact that he said this publicly already means a lot.

This is indeed the case. A Beijing entertainment newspaper announced that Xun Ge'er has been selected to play the role of "Little Dragon Girl".

At that time, the bearded man also publicly stated: "Everything has been determined, only the signing is left."

As for which contract to sign, that depends on personal opinion.

On August 8, at the press conference of "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly", Xun Ge'er publicly admitted and announced to the media: "The Little Dragon Girl is me."

A month later, when recalling the incident again, Xun Ge'er told the truth: "I asked the investor at that time, and only dared to tell it after confirming that it was me."

And who were her so-called investors at that time?

It is most likely Tiefo, who has been interviewed by the outside world and has been in charge of this matter, working in the audio and video department of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Of course, it could also be Mr. Ma from Ciwen, but the probability is not high because he said in September that the female lead role has not been confirmed yet.

If nothing unexpected happens, this role should be won by Xun Ge'er.
