Chapter 314: Zhu Chuanwu's Prototype
On the morning of July 15th, Xu Zhen was putting on makeup on the sidelines, and before he started filming, he received a call from Zhang Xinjie, the chief director of "Breaking through the Guandong".
"As of yesterday, the average rating has broken three, and it is the first in the same period!"
Zhang Xinjie's tone was obviously excited, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, your title of 'Ratings Lucky Star' is really well deserved!" ”
"I deliberately put your clip in the first scene of the first episode, and it was really good luck, hahaha!"
Xu Zhen turned on the mobile phone on the speakerphone, and while putting on makeup, he greeted Director Zhang very politely.
"Breaking through the East" has been on the air for three days.
Affected by factors such as the blessing of the education system decree and Xu Zhen's unexpected award, this drama has received great attention at the beginning of the broadcast.
Coupled with its excellent quality, "Breaking through the East" has exploded the audience's expectations with an astonishing fast pace from the first act, and has directly become one of the most watched hit dramas at the moment.
As soon as the broadcast started, they were able to reap such gratifying results, and the main creators of "Breaking through the Guandong" were naturally overjoyed, and Xu Zhen was also very happy about it.
However, he is a little ashamed that he didn't spend time chasing dramas in the past two days.
The filming task of the crew of "Langya Bang" is too tight, Xu Zhen, as the leading actor, has a lot of scenes, basically every day from the beginning of the day to the end of the dark day.
After he returned to the hotel every night, he just wanted to wash and sleep quickly, and he didn't want to do anything at all, so as not to rest badly and affect the shooting status of the next day.
"A lot of people praise you!"
After hanging up the call with director Zhang Xinjie, Zhou Xiaoman flipped through the comments on the Internet, and said happily: "It is said that you have portrayed the role of Chuanwu very vividly, and there is no shadow of other characters at all." ”
"One person has a thousand faces, and it is extremely malleable!"
"The comment section is full of praise!"
Xu Zhen listened to her read the comments of netizens about herself one by one, smiled slightly, and did not comment.
To tell the truth, the role of Zhu Chuanwu did not have any explosive points in the early stage, and it was not difficult to play.
The reason why he wanted to take on this drama was because the script was attractive, and on the other hand, he hoped to cooperate more with excellent senior artists such as Li Yongbin.
Now that both goals have been achieved, I have participated in the filming of this excellent TV series, and I have also gained valuable experience.
As for the grades......
Xu Zhen is very sure that the results of "Breaking through the Guandong" will definitely not be bad.
It's just that this achievement is determined by many reasons, and it has little to do with myself.
He still plans to wait for 20 episodes before starting to chase it, there is no important plot for Chuanwu at this stage, and it is not interesting to chase it.
……
However, unlike Xu Zhen's indifferent attitude, there are countless pairs of eyes in and outside the industry that are aimed at this TV series.
Participants, competitors, potential collaborators......
Many people are always keeping an eye on the results of "Breaking through the East", and every fluctuation every day affects the hearts of tens of thousands of people.
- For example, Qin Shaoze, a first-line actor who is famous for starring in period dramas.
On July 15, in a hotel suite in the magic capital.
Qin Shaoze just took a shower, sat on the sofa in a leisurely posture, and turned on the TV in the hotel casually.
A week ago, the period drama "War Doctor" starring him just started broadcasting on CCTV 8, and the first broadcast ratings broke one, and the results were okay.
However, after turning on the TV, Qin Shaoze did not watch the TV series starring him, but instead adjusted the picture to CCTV and watched the hit drama "Breaking Guandong" next door.
The agent on the side turned his head to look at him in surprise.
"It's okay to take a look," Qin Shaoze's face was expressionless, and said, """Breaking through the Guandong" is not bad for the ratings of my TV. ”
The agent opened his mouth in embarrassment, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
- Both of them know that the role of Zhu Chuanwu in the play, in fact, the crew first found Qin Shaoze.
Of course, this is normal, Qin Shaoze was originally the most well-known young actor in the field of period dramas.
It's just that what is really unsettling is that Sun Mantang, the screenwriter of "Breaking through the Guandong", once personally invited Qin Shaoze to play this role, and said earnestly that the role of "Zhu Chuanwu" was written based on him.
But after reading the script, Qin Shaoze felt that Zhu Chuanwu was too similar to the roles he had played before, and on the other hand, he didn't want to play a supporting role, so he didn't take it in the end.
Later, Qin Shaoze also heard that the crew of "Crossing the Guandong" held a large-scale audition meeting with hundreds of people, just to find an actor who looked like himself to play Zhu Chuanwu, and he was really embarrassed.
As a result, they never expected that the actor they finally finalized would be Xu Zhen.
- Xu Zhen is really not like him.
Qin Shaoze is tall and athletic, with healthy wheat-colored skin; The facial features are relatively flat and not handsome enough, but there is a kind of wild handsomeness.
And Xu Zhen ...... Poles apart.
When he first heard about this casting, Qin Shaoze was quite surprised, and he felt a little funny.
He even suspected that the crew really couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he simply broke the jar and broke it.
But what people didn't expect was that in the short period of more than a year from the filming to the release of "Breaking the Guandong", Xu Zhen's value actually rose again and again, from a worthless young actor to this point.
Especially after he won the Magnolia Award for "Best Supporting Actor", in the eyes of insiders, Xu Zhen's value has gradually approached the level of a first-line actor.
Qin Shaoze supported his chin with one hand, looking at Zhu Chuanwu, who was at ease on the screen and obviously did not play to the extreme, he frowned and felt a strong threat.
For missing the role of Zhu Chuanwu, he actually doesn't regret it.
No matter how popular the TV series is, it's just a supporting role.
But Qin Shaoze's pity is that Xu Zhen took this role, which is equivalent to entering the circle of period dramas.
If there is such a book in the future and you want to find actors, the drama party will subconsciously take Xu Zhen into consideration.
This is tantamount to setting up a competitor for yourself.
This made Qin Shaoze feel very uncomfortable.
Xu Zhen is young, has good appearance conditions, excellent acting skills, and has the official endorsement of the Magnolia Award - such an actor, who cares if you are first-tier or second-tier?
The existence of this person will obviously threaten his absolute dominance in the field of period dramas!
The more Qin Shaoze looked at it, the more uncomfortable he became, so he simply changed the channel.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoze had read the script before and knew that Zhu Chuanwu was a comedy character who was lucky all the way, and in the end, he had a bumper harvest in career and love, and the ending was very satisfying.
is cool, but it is not as popular as a character like Zhou Yu who unfortunately passed away.
Now, I can only hope that Xu Zhen will be completely overshadowed by the old actors in the play, and he will act to the end without being salty.
