Chapter 409: Heaven and Dragon Slayer casting

"The Legend of the White Snake? What is this? ”

On April 5, when Stephen Zhao returned to the mainland and began to prepare for the casting of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "The Legend of the White Snake" began to be published in the "Xiangjiang News".

The reason why the vast majority of readers subscribe to "Xiangjiang News" is for one reason: to read Xingye's novels.

The end of "Dragon Babu" has made countless readers feel sorry, especially the ending of "Xiao Feng's" suicide, which made readers even more sad, and even issued a call to march to protest. Of course, in the end, because the silent people accounted for the vast majority, they had to run for life, except for those who were idle, so they didn't become a climate.

After the end of "Dragon Babu", many readers are still subscribing to "Xiangjiang News", or buying a copy every day, looking forward to Xing Ye's new novel cutely, and the psychological thoughts are very strong.

Two days have passed, and no new work has come out.

Many readers began to unsubscribe, or stopped buying one copy a day, because they guessed that Stephen Zhao was too busy to write another novel. As for "Tianlong Babu", it should have been an accident, just to promote "Xiangjiang News". "Xiangjiang News" has been developed, selling 650,000 copies a day, shaking the media of the whole Xiangjiang, and once shocked the "Oriental Daily", and it has long been out of need for the support of Stephen Zhao's martial arts novels.

But they didn't expect that Stephen Zhao would actually write a novel again!

All of a sudden, a large number of readers cheered, ran to tell each other, called friends, and even cried with joy.

It's just that when they saw the name of Xing Ye's new work "The Legend of the White Snake" in the newspaper. Immediately dumbfounded: "This can't be!" How could Xing Ye write mythological monster novels? ”

The legend of the white snake, just by looking at the name, you know that the road is written about monsters, white snakes, what is not a monster?

Look at the content again, the pit! And there is not just one pit, it is two!

The first pit. Xing Ye actually wrote this novel in classical Chinese!

The second pit, the content of this novel is actually the love story of a female white snake and a scholar!

"Master Xing, what are you doing here? Shemale love? Such a heavy taste? ”

"Hehehe...... Xing Ye has always had a heavy taste, buddy, you don't know the way! ”

"That's right, "Painted Skin" is to make people fall in love with fox spirits, and "Strange Tales" is all kinds of demons and monsters who have come out to fall in love with people. Now such a snake demon is in love with a person, drizzle! ”

"Hey, I thought that Xing Ye would continue to write martial arts novels, but I didn't expect to turn around and write monster novels. I don't know what Lu Dao Xingye thinks. ”

"Master Xing's family has a great cause and is famous. It's long past the time to write a novel diligently. For the current Xing Ye, writing novels is just a side job, a spice in his spare time, and he is a giant who runs a TV station and a film and television company! ”

"When he was just famous, Xing Ye did everything to become famous quickly and make a lot of money quickly. But now, fame, the star master has it; Money. In Xing Ye's eyes, it is no different from numbers. Now Xing Ye is doing things more and more purposefully. Now I don't have any purpose to see Xing Ye doing this, but after a while, I will know that the original purpose is here. I believe that this time I wrote "The Legend of the White Snake", it should also be for a certain purpose, I don't know what Lu Dao is? ”

"Back upstairs, wouldn't I write "The Legend of the White Snake" to make movies or TV series?"

"Shocking revelation: Xing Ye wrote "The Legend of the White Snake". In fact, it is just to build momentum for ATV's first self-made TV series "I Have a Date with a Zombie", and it is said that the characters and plot of "The Legend of the White Snake" will appear in "I Have a Date with a Zombie"! ”

"Go back to my upstairs, you're going to pee, could you please go and read the previous news first? Don't talk nonsense! "I Have a Date with a Zombie" is an urban drama, how can the characters and plots in "The Legend of the White Snake" appear? ”

β€œnozuonodie!”

……

The first pit is nothing. After all, "The Legend of the White Snake" is not a full-text text, but a half-literary and half-vernacular, with a bit of ancient meaning, but it can be understood by modern people.

The second pit made readers feel a little "cheating", and there were many discussions on the Internet, saying that they were very disappointed.

Some of Stephen Zhao's readers also have this attitude, but a large part of the hardcore spoke on the Internet: "You are disappointed, you can write whatever the star wants, you don't look at it." It's good now, kidnapping the star master morally? ”

The vast majority of readers who expressed disappointment closed their mouths and laughed.

But a small number of readers scolded: "Without us, Stephen Zhao could have today?" You can't forget your roots too much! ”

All of a sudden, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the more noisy it was, the more fierce it became.

Or Zhao Xingchi got Cai Yan's reminder, and then sent a scarf "Radish greens, each has his own love, everyone take it easy!" This calmed down the turmoil.

Moral kidnapping, which is a very offensive act. The usual form of expression is "mouth cannon", mouth cannon or something, anyone can do it, but when it comes to real action, the vast majority of people retreat. Just like preaching righteousness, many people's principle is: preaching righteousness is for talking, not for doing, that is, you must be righteous, but for some reason, I don't need to be righteous.

I don't care about the reader, it's not okay, I can't get over it on my conscience.

Stephen Zhao thinks that he is still a very disciplined person, so he adheres to a neutral attitude, as the so-called standing up straight, acting right, naturally frank and open, and everyone respects.

Back to the magic capital Red Star Media, in the office, Zhao Xingchi first listened to Lin Meijia's chick report on the situation of Red Star Media during this period in a slightly resentful tone, and then asked him to call Zhang Tianlin, the general manager of the subsidiary Red Star Film Investment.

In less than three minutes, Zhang Tianlin rushed over to obey his orders.

"Boss!" After Zhang Tianlin pushed the door in, he greeted respectfully.

"Who did you choose the director of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"? Not in the company? Stephen Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and after seeing him, he began to get to the point.

Zhang Tianlin has been pondering what is important for Stephen Zhao to come back this time, but he didn't expect it to be about the TV series "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", so he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "It's Huang Wen, graduated from Beijing Film, 45 years old this year, a seventh-generation director, who won the Best Director Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival and the Best New Director Award at the Flying Eagle Award...... He's in my office right now. ”

"Flying Eagle Award for Best New Director? Is there this award in the Eagle Awards? Zhao Xingchi frowned and asked.

"There's this award." Zhang Tianlin was speechless, the boss of the film and television company is "familiar" with the major awards in the entertainment industry, which is surprising.

"I've never been interested in awards and academic qualifications!"

Stephen Zhao first showed his standards, and then said: "As long as he has the ability, even if he is a high school student and has never won an award, I will still use it." "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is the first time to be adapted into a TV series, and my request is that he can restore the story in its original form, I don't need him to add any novel elements, play entertainment, engage in subversion, etc., and it will not be too late to do it when the second and third remakes are made in the future. You know what I mean, right? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Tianlin with inquiring eyes.

"I know that I believe that Huang Wen can be qualified for the position of chief director." Zhang Tianlin nodded and said confidently.

"In that case, then you can let him come over to me, and let's talk about the casting of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" together." Stephen Zhao gestured with an interactive gesture and gestured.

Zhang Tianlin smiled and said, "Xie Lu, Boss Xie", and then went to call Huang Wen over.

Huang Wen has a thin body, with a pair of glasses, and a gentle temperament, giving people a warm feeling, and he feels comfortable when he looks at it, and Zhao Xingchi is no exception, and he immediately has a good feeling in his heart.

People can't look good, but if you have an ugly appearance, no matter how talented you are, it's for nothing. If you have a good look, it will be different, and it will play an immeasurable role in your career.

"Mr. Zhao!" Huang Wen greeted Stephen Zhao without humility or arrogance, he did not sign a contract with Red Star Media and was a freelance director, so he was very polite when he called Stephen Zhao.

"Sit, sit, sit down and talk!"

Zhao Xingchi shook his hand with a smile, and then waved.

The two secretaries, Cai Yan and Lin Meijia, after making a cup of tea for Zhang Tianlin and Huang Wen, pushed the door out of the door one after another.

"Director Huang, what do you think about the casting of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"?" Stephen Zhao quickly asked Huang Wendao, one is a temptation, and the other is brainstorming.

Huang Wen also knew what he meant, so after muttering for a while, he said: "Now if you want to shoot a martial arts TV series, you must grasp three selling points, one is a bright and bright lens, so that the audience feels comfortable watching it; One is the incredible martial arts, satisfying the audience's fantasy of strength and strength; The last and most important one is to be handsome and beautiful, to let the male audience see the warbler Yanyan, the various beauties who are fat and thin, and let the female audience see various types of male gods, or cream boys, or tough guys, or mature men. Combining these three points, and then analyzing the main characters in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", I think that when casting, the first thing to choose is the four heroines, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Spider, Xiao Zhao, must be beautiful......"

After talking for several minutes, Huang Wen seemed to say whatever he wanted, without any scruples.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Zhao Xingchi coughed a few times, although he admitted that Huang Wen was on the point, but it was too explicit, at least he had to be subtle, he was quite uncomfortable. However, after the most reluctance, he still expressed his approval and appreciation for Huang Wen: "Director Huang's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head, I agree with it very much." In this case, starting tomorrow, Director Huang and I will start selecting actors for "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", right? ”

"Okay, no problem!" Huang Wen was overjoyed and replied briskly. He really got it right, Stephen Zhao doesn't like vain rhetoric, if you have anything to say, just say it, this is what it looks like to do things. (To be continued......)
