Chapter 544: Rift
Soon after the Spring Festival, "Double-sided Tape" premiered on three David TV at the same time. Cheng Hao and Zhang Yi were busy with Mama Rong during this time.
is almost exactly the same as "Wulin Gaiden", it was not shocking when it first started, but after a few episodes, the ratings skyrocketed.
In recent years, the small screen has been full of all kinds of unreliable costume comedies, war films, etc., and it is rare to have a TV series with a realistic theme. And many elements in the TV series have resonated with the audience.
For example, the mother-in-law is dissatisfied with the daughter-in-law's indiscriminate spending, the daughter-in-law who is anxious to hold her grandson but does not want to give birth, the difference between husband and wife in the north and south, the pressure brought by the house to modern people, and so on.
These topics have aroused widespread discussion in society:
Marriage is not only a matter of two people, but also a combination of two families and two cultures.
What's even more interesting is that this kind of discussion is actually divided into two factions, the audience in the north and south. For example, the audience in the south said that they took many things for granted for Lijuan. I even sometimes think that if it were me, my temper might not be as good as hers.
For Li Yaping, he hated it one-sidedly, thinking that this person was full of hypocrisy, slippery, despicable, and deep-rooted Northeast machismo in his bones.
As for the contradiction in the TV series by northern audiences, it is classified as two generations, with different thoughts, different cultures, different concepts, different habits, and different personalities......
They are not accustomed to some of Lijuan's behaviors, and think that both women love a man, a husband, and a son, and because of love, there is a conflict between the two women. There is more partiality for Li Yaping, they think that Li Yaping is really difficult, maybe they see more of their own shadow in Li Yaping.
Cheng Hao and Zhang Yi became popular all of a sudden.
Cheng Hao, from the popularity of "Pink Girl" to the crushing of strength in "Dragon Babu", and then to the popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" all over the small screen, and then subverted her previous image of this "double-sided tape" has established her status as the queen of ratings, and now in the field of TV dramas, she already belongs to the absolute first-line kind.
And Zhang Yi, who became a small hit last year because of "Stone", and from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, he contributed two hit dramas at once - "Soldier Assault" and "Double-sided Tape".
Although his role as the phoenix man Li Yaping is not very likable, the industry has seen his extensive acting as an actor, the dog-legged secretary in "Stone", the sincere Shi Jin's squad leader in "Soldier Assault", and the hypocritical, greasy, and despicable phoenix man in "Double-sided Tape", three completely different character images are coincidentally created very excitingly.
As a contracted actor of Huayi Brothers, he was originally not in Feng Xiaogang's sight, but because of the explosion of "Double-sided Tape", he was handpicked by the director of pants and joined the crew of Huayi's head work "Assembly Number", which has started filming, and played the role of Wang Jincun, the instructor of the Ninth Company.
The ratings frenzy of "Double-sided Tape" unsurprisingly triggered the second and even third rounds of broadcast copyright grabbing, and Xinhao Media once again made a lot of money.
Even Yu Dong, who has never been interested in TV dramas, couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw He Xin: "Why didn't I think of mixing with you at the beginning, you make more money from one TV series than I earn from releasing ten movies!"
It is said that although the film market has recovered in recent years, the overall environment is really sluggish. Wang Quanyan's "Tuya's Marriage", which won the Golden Bear Award, was released by Bona, and the final box office was 1.2 million, which was about to make Yu Dong lose to his grandmother's house, and even the publicity expenses were not enough.
Although "Double-sided Tape" was very successful, and even the original writer and screenwriter Liu Liu and director Cheng Qiang also became famous together, but the final ending of the TV series still made the two, including He Xin, somewhat regretful.
The ending of the original TV series is the same as that adapted from real events, the husband beats his wife, the mother-in-law assists, and the wife dies.
Very impactful.
But in the end, it was not passed, and the main theme of the country in these years is harmony, and everything must be harmonious. So I had to change it to the same ending as the original: the husband beat his wife and was pulled by his mother-in-law. The mother-in-law died of a serious illness, and the two got back together.
However, they didn't feel it for long, and immediately packed up their mood and began to devote themselves to the script adaptation and preparation of "Anna and Wang Gui", which Xinhao Media had bought the film and television rights before. In the words of Xiaodouding, CEO of Xinhao Media, this is called striking while the iron is hot.
Originally, the best candidate for the heroine of the drama "Anna and Wang Gui" was undoubtedly Cheng Hao, but now Cheng Hao has devoted all his energy to the character of Li Baoli in "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", and she is not interested in Anna or anything like that, and even her newly met best friend Liuliu personally flew over from Singapore to persuade her.
"Alas, it's useless to just read the script, I think I should experience life on the spot, and it's better to live in Wuhan for a while. Cheng Hao closed the script and said with a long sigh.
He Xin was a little surprised, put down the first draft of the script of "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", which he was also reading at this time, and muttered: "Your idea is very good, but it's not in a hurry." ”
The first draft of the script was just delivered today. In fact, it is not difficult to adapt the script of "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", there are all the elements that should be there, and there is no need to add snakes, or add any characters, branches, etc.
The script is to do subtraction, remove some of the branches and forks, and condense the plot to Li Baoli's body. In a sense, this is a realistic film, which depicts the joys and sorrows of a low-level woman for nearly 20 years.
"Besides, what's going on with the director, did Xiao Shuai agree? If it drags on like this, when will the movie start?" Cheng Hao pouted.
It's really that she yearns for the big screen too much, especially when she meets such a good character, she can't wait for a long time.
He Xin shook the script in his hand and said with a wry smile: "The first draft of the script has just come out, what are you anxious about! I can't talk to people empty-handed, right?"
During this time, Wang Xiaoshuai has been in Shanghai**, He Xin called him before and said that there was a drama for him to direct. Although Wang Xiaoshuai may not have refused for the sake of face at that time, his tone was a little bland.
Since He Xin starred in "Wuji" and "Seven Swords" one after another, although the box office is very impressive, the evaluation is not very good, Wang Xiaoshuai thinks that his little brother's path is a little deviated, and he has also tapped him a few times openly and secretly.
He Xin is very helpless about this, he admires Wang Xiaoshuai's dedication to literary films, but he can't just let the money he spend in vain and not earn it, being an actor is not only love, but also just a meal. 16
However, this small disagreement did not affect the relationship between the two, when "Stone" was released, Wang Xiaoshuai not only came to cheer on the scene, but also helped to praise it when he was interviewed by reporters.
During the first call, He Xin also specially told Wang Xiaoshuai about the story synopsis of the novella "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", and suggested that he had better find it and reply later.
As a result, two days later, he received a call from Wang Xiaoshuai, and this time director Xiaoshuai showed a strong interest in "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart".
Without him, because he has seen it.
The bottom, struggle, persistence, the span of time and age, these elements all poked his itch. To be honest, the reason why he put down "Me 11", which had been in preparation for a long time, and instead made a "Left and Right" that reflects family affection, was to seek transformation. But although "Left and Right" is still in the stage of cutting the film, as a director, he has long known that he is not very satisfied with this film, and he feels that he seems to be in a bottleneck.
And it was precisely after reading "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" that he seemed to have the inspiration and passion to create again, and he very much wanted to present the woman named Li Baoli on the big screen.
Of course, on the phone, it was impossible for him to talk to He Xin to death, saying that he would direct this film no matter what. He has the reserve and pride of a middle-aged man in literature and art, but he just told He Xin very plainly to wait for the script to come out and then have a good chat.
And He Xin on the other end of the phone had already shown a smile after hearing his words. Because with his understanding of Director Xiaoshuai, this matter is estimated to be eight or nine.
After the first draft of the script was sent over today, He Xin sent him a fax as soon as possible, estimating that there would be a response in the next day or two.
Cheng Hao also knew that this kind of thing was not in a hurry, and besides, it was still early, but he was too anxious. In fact, for the sake of this drama now, she not only pushed away "Anna and Wang Gui", but even pushed several scripts brought by the company. In her words, it is this time to empty yourself and prepare for the character of Li Baoli.
"Hey, who are you going to find to play the character of Anna?" asked Cheng Hao as she lifted her white feet and rested them on her boyfriend's lap.
"It's not decided yet. He Xin shook his head.
The character of Wang Gui is easy to solve, based on the complex of "Parents' Love" in his previous life, he fell in love with Guo Tao at once. Jiang Defu and Wang Gui have a lot in common, and everyone worked together very happily in "Stone" before.
However, on the selection of the heroine, everyone has disagreements.
After Xinhao Media launched two hit dramas one after another, it naturally attracted attention in the circle, especially when I learned that Xinhao Media was going to open a new drama again, or the original team of "Double-sided Tape", all kinds of relationships and intercessors were endless, and they all aimed at the role of Anna.
In fact, Wang Jinghua also had a lot of complaints about Cheng Hao's giving up this role at the beginning, thinking that this girl was a little dead-eyed, can't she take care of both? But seeing that Cheng Hao had made up her mind, she quickly recommended her actor Zuo Xiaoqing.
And Sister Hong also recommended Li Xiaoran.
Originally, according to the relationship between He Xin, Sister Hong, and Li Xiaoran, there should be no problem. But I don't want screenwriter Liu Liu and director Cheng Qiang to feel that Li Xiaoran's overall northerner temperament is not suitable for the character of Anna, a woman in the south of the Yangtze River.
He Xin has always respected the opinions of the two of them, and because of Tang Wei's matter, there is inevitably a rift between him and Sister Hong. And this kind of crack may not even be perceptible to the parties, but at the critical moment, this small crack will be invisibly magnified. After suffering a loss from Tang Wei, He Xin subconsciously had an unreliable feeling about his brokerage company, and no longer gave all his trust as before.
For example, Li Xiaoran wants to play the character of Anna, if he insists, Liuliu and Cheng Qiang will definitely back down, but he still respects the choice of these two in the end.
Cheng Qiang also recommended an actress, who was Haiqing in the original version. As a teacher at Nortel, he has a good relationship with Mr. Huang, and it is reasonable to recommend Mr. Huang's protégé. What's more, Haiqing's conditions in all aspects, especially in terms of acting skills, are still good, and she is also a leader among the graduates of Nortel's performance department.
It's just that He Xin is a little resistant, he doesn't like the "little good man" Teacher Huang, and he is not even too interested in his so-called proud protégé, which is probably the antonym of "love house and Wu". I don't want my own drama to become popular with an actress I don't like for nothing.
But because of Cheng Qiang's face, he has not yet made a final statement, and temporarily uses Haiqing as a spare tire, if there is really no suitable candidate, he will reluctantly take it out and use it.
"Actually, I think this role is quite suitable for Tang Tang. Seeing him shake his head, his girlfriend muttered softly.
The smile on He Xin's face froze suddenly, the name Tang Tang hadn't heard for a long time.
Although he still understands Tang Tang's choice in his heart, after all, the female number one of an international director's movie, and it is also a choice between a movie with a big heroine and a small-budget TV series, maybe as long as he is not a fool, he will choose the big heroine movie of an international director.
But the problem is the gentleman's agreement, I trust you, but you end up letting my pigeon go. It can be said that he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, since this incident, he has no longer unreservedly trusted others as before, when it comes to work, everything is subject to the contract, as long as you don't sign it for a day, you don't count a day.
He does not deny that what his girlfriend said makes sense, and if he had put it aside, he would have chosen Tang Wei without hesitation. But now he could only shake his head and say with a mocking smile: "Hehe, people are already movie coffees, and I can't afford to climb high." ”
Cheng Hao glanced at his boyfriend and sighed secretly. Although she and Tang Wei are still in close contact, at the same time, she also understands her boyfriend, and this kind of thing will not be easy for anyone, especially between former good friends, and the emotional damage is even greater.
"Oh, she should have finished filming "Lust and Caution", what is she doing now?" He Xin asked casually again.
She is now in Hong Kong on Lai Shengchuan's "Secret Love" directed by Lai Shengchuan, which is said to be performed in Hong Kong next month. ”
"Oh!"
He Xin responded, and he didn't say anything like going to Hong Kong to cheer at all, but naturally diverted the topic and asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"
