Chapter 262: Press conference
I have to admit that because the two classic characters of Jin Yong, "Yang Guo" and "Little Dragon Girl", are too "tempting", and the crew has always been "open the door", which has caused the shrewd stars on weekdays to jump into this trap actively or passively.
Obviously, Lin Xiaoguang has also fallen in, not to mention him, it is Nie Yuan, who was once announced by the crew as the "most likely candidate for 'Yang Guo'", in order to stabilize this role, he even did not hesitate to terminate the contract with Hua Yi and signed a "deed of sale" with one of the investors of "Condor".
Although the bamboo basket was empty in the end, the desire to soar still confused the eyes of the stars, and finally led to them being played by the crew, which became a topic or even a joke in the process of "hype".
Moreover, at this time, Lin Xiaoguang already understood that every decision he made now would affect his future, and no one knew what he wanted better than himself.
Today, Lin Xiaoguang suddenly discovered that he had become the kind of person he once hated and despised step by step.
But whatever!
Anyway, you can make more money when the money is gone, but it is difficult to turn back if you miss the opportunity, and now for spending one million, you can buy the role you like and want to play the most in your life, and it is not a bad thing that hurts nature and reason! In the face of Zhang Jizhong's request, Lin Xiaoguang did not hesitate for too long, and agreed with Zhang Jizhong.
It's just that, then again, although one million is not much, but it is not too little, Lin Xiaoguang took out part of his savings and borrowed some from a friend to make up the whole number of one million.
Two days later.
Zhang Jizhong led Lin Xiaoguang, Liu Yifei, Meng Fangmei, Yang Mi, and Chen Zihan to attend the "Condor Heroes" meeting held in Xiangshan.
This is also the first time that the crew of "The Condor Heroes" has publicly faced reporters since the casting.
At the press conference, Zhang Jizhong also distributed the list of confirmed actors to reporters, announcing that the casting turmoil of "The Condor Heroes", which is rare in the mainland TV industry, has finally settled.
There is a saying, there is always a day to come out and mix, after all, it has been hyped for so long, and it was led by Zhang Jizhong before, but now it is the other way around, so the questions raised by the reporter at the press conference are mainly focused on the difficult birth of the actors of "The Condor Heroes".
In the face of the reporter's malicious question, Zhang Jizhong's eyes were as big as a copper bell, and he asked the reporter innocently: "Do I call you? Regarding hype and the like, reporters have always called me, and when they hear some news, they will chase after the wind. ”
"Although, art will eventually become a commodity, I am against treating it as a commodity in the first place. Since we have 6 investors, they have different opinions, which has caused us a lot of trouble in selecting actors. After several twists and turns, we decided to let Lin Xiaoguang and Liu Yifei play Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu. In this process, the crew did not hype, but the media took the initiative to inquire, which finally caused a lot of discussions. ”
Yo yo Chek is noisy, and Zhang Beard's ability to talk nonsense in a serious manner seems to have reached the point of perfection.
In other words, Zhang Jizhong's current reputation is almost equivalent to the emperor's new clothes, in fact, everyone understands it, but they didn't demolish him on the spot.
Before Lin Xiaoguang and Liu Yifei attended the press conference, Zhang Jizhong told them not to answer questions about casting as much as possible, and they were criticized by the outside world for free.
Therefore, during the entire press conference, Zhang Jizhong was almost alone in his words, and the other actors were all listening, and they didn't speak much at all.
As for the reporter's question, why after a big turn, Lin Xiaoguang and Liu Yifei were finally selected to play the leading roles, Zhang Jizhong also said with emotion: "This is also the result of several twists and turns, I won't talk about the twists and turns, this result is still relatively close to the ideal, and all aspects are still relatively acceptable." ”
As soon as the words fell.
A male reporter who was engaged in things raised his hand and asked: "So, the reason why Director Zhang chose Lin Xiaoguang and Liu Yifei as the protagonists is because there is no better candidate, so he took this compromise approach?"
Regarding the suspicion of "compromise" in the selection of the new version of "Condor", Zhang Jizhong said helplessly: "In fact, it is difficult to choose the perfect one." ”
Regarding the details of the final selection of the two "young" actors, Zhang Jizhong said: "Liu Yifei has acted with me, and she has the kind of temperament that does not eat fireworks in the world, so she was chosen." As for Lin Xiaoguang, I have never known him, and I have never seen him play.
And Yang Guo should be a stubborn man, a passionate person, and at the same time have the demeanor of a hero, he can be regarded as a character who is both good and evil. Lin Xiaoguang, I heard that he has played many villains before, he has a stubborn side, a serious side, and he is not ugly, and the investor is very satisfied after discussion, so we chose him. ”
When Zhang Jizhong commented that Lin Xiaoguang was not ugly, the audience erupted in laughter.
Obviously, they all thought Zhang Jizhong was joking.
If Lin Xiaoguang is just not ugly, then aren't you Zhang Jizhong a pig or a dog?
"Director Zhang, do you think Lin Xiaoguang and Liu Yifei can play the two roles of Yang Guo Xiaolongnu well?"
In this regard, Zhang Jizhong also poured cold water on the two actors: "Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu are very difficult to play, although it is now decided that these two actors will play them, but I estimate that even if they devote themselves wholeheartedly, they may not be able to succeed." “
Although Zhang Jizhong was a little greedy, his almost mean answer seemed to Lin Xiaoguang and Liu Yifei to be a kind of obscure protection.
"Director Zhang, why do you continue to remake Jin Yong's dramas? Do you want to finish filming all Jin Yong's dramas?"
"Whether the filming can be completed depends on Mr. Jin Yong's intentions, and whether he is willing to sell me all the remake copyrights, but Mr. Jin Yong also watched my "Dragon Babu" and felt that I made it well, so he agreed to let me remake it. ”
In fact, the success of "Dragon Babu" did give Zhang Jizhong the confidence to shoot "The Condor Heroes" well.
Finally, when it comes to the idea of "The Condor Heroes", Zhang Jizhong sighed: "I have filmed three Jin Yong's works, and this is the fourth. Filming "The Condor Heroes" is a very difficult job, and it can't be done by hype. We invested $4 million in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to shoot 40 episodes, which is equivalent to the capacity of 20 martial arts movies. Since the second half of last year, I have been thinking about how to make a good martial arts film. I hope to make "The Condor Heroes" into a martial arts drama with romantic love, and the places that were not expressed in the past can be expressed through this drama. In particular, 'chivalrous heart' is an abstract thing, and it is very difficult for people to understand it concretely......"
Ps. Just yesterday, this book was reported by Xiao Mingge's fans, which is very powerful, and it was reported to the National Internet Reporting Center, and the reason for the report was [invasion of celebrity privacy].
In the face of such a situation, I have not been in the mood for the past two days, but I am doing my best to delete the content involving the minefield, as for whether it will be 404, just leave it to fate.
Finally, if this book is really 404, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to say it in the future, so I'll say goodbye to the big guys in advance here, and then, very heartily, I say sorry and thank you to every little friend, really, I'm sorry for you, and thank you even more, it is you who let me know that as long as I work hard, I will get some support and understanding.
Finally, I would like to thank Lao Xu, the poet, and the legend of Lu Question Mark for their inseparability, you are the most precious memories I wrote at the starting point. 8)
