Chapter 279: All sides surged
As the casting of "The Legend of the New White Lady" began, the industry gradually knew that Gu Che was going to start creating a TV series.
Or create an adaptation related to "The Legend of the White Snake"!
That's a big deal!
As soon as this news circulated in the industry, it began to go viral.
"After finishing the stage play and movie, has he finally started to extend his claws to the TV series?"
"It's "The Legend of the White Snake" again, how much wool does Gu Che plan to take down the "The Legend of the White Snake" series?"
"Inquire about their casting, and see if they can push the actors of our company over!"
"Inform me, all the actors and actresses who haven't taken over the drama in the next few months will let go of what they are doing at hand and go all out to impact Gu Che's TV series!"
"Gu Che is actually going to create a TV series? Push off the role I took over, I'm going to rush his TV series. There is nothing to do, even a first-line actor needs to be by his side, I have already put off two TV series in a row, and I can't make a splash, Gu Che is an opportunity I must seize! ”
In just one day, everyone in the industry knew that Gu Che was going to shoot a TV series, and he was still the most familiar with it, and it was also the hottest white snake element at the moment.
Some people are not very optimistic, thinking that the "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" series has been repeatedly fried for a long time, and the movie version is the ultimate glory, if it is adapted into a TV series, I am afraid the audience will be tired of watching it.
The same plot, different ways to interpret, even if the details have changed, but it is the same story!
But more people blindly believe in Gu Che.
When Gu Che debuted, he did not continue to exert his efforts in original music, but honestly became a quiet Cantonese opera actor, and many people were not optimistic about Gu Che.
I felt like he was wasting his talent.
The result?
Everyone has also seen that even if Gu Che goes to be a Cantonese opera actor and does a stage play, he can still make the best-selling Cantonese opera stage play "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" in history!
At that time, as soon as the stage play was launched, many netizens went to Nanzhou to check in.
That month, flights from all over the world to Nanzhou were the most crowded.
It's hard not to say how much effort "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" has contributed to it and how much consumption has been stimulated in Nanzhou.
originally thought that Gu Che would also engage in stage plays, but he also started a movie!
At that time, everyone was not optimistic about Gu Che's movie, because the movie was called "The Legend of the White Snake: Love", and it was a remake of the stage play at first glance.
In fact, the plot of the movie is almost the same as the plot of the stage play, but the form of expression has changed a little, adding more realistic special effects, making up for the feeling that the stage play cannot be presented.
The result?
A movie that many viewers have long known the synopsis, but it counterattacked at the Spring Festival!
not only counterattacked, but also once dominated the Spring Festival film sales list, beating the works shot by famous directors and ranking first!
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Che's team was too young, no one reminded them that the chess game "Gray Shadow" could only be delayed for a month in Nanzhou, instead of being delayed nationwide.
Otherwise, the final total box office champion of the Spring Festival stalls is not necessarily dominated by "Gray Shadows".
Everyone who understands understands it.
Now, Gu Che is about to set his sights on the TV series again.
After the previous two heavy slaps in the face, even if he was not optimistic about Gu Che in his heart, on the bright side, everyone was looking forward to it.
Especially when the latest news comes in, they are even more expectant in their hearts.
On Monday, Xingchen Entertainment held a regular meeting as usual, and President Xiao Zhenghao attended the company's high-level meeting to listen to the development of the company's key stars.
Xingchen Entertainment is currently more inclined to actor training, and there are not many famous singers, but there are not many.
But fortunately, those singers are relatively popular, so they also support the sky of Star Entertainment.
Listening to it, Xiao Zhenghao heard the minister of the actor planning department focus on mentioning a drama, and the screenwriter of this drama is quite familiar to him.
Xiao Zhenghao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Gu Che?" He's going to be a screenwriter again? ”
The head of the actor planning department is called Zhao Bowen, and he corrected him one by one: "President, no, he has always been creative, screenwriting is just another career for him, and I also hope that he can create more excellent film and television scripts!" ”
Xiao Zhenghao smiled: "Old Zhao is very satisfied with Gu Che when he hears it!" ”
Zhao Bowen is also a veteran employee of Xingchen Entertainment, who has worked hard in the company for decades and owns some shares of the company, which is considered a small shareholder.
He will soon reach the age of retirement, Xiao Zhenghao has already allowed him to retire early, but Zhao Bowen feels that retirement is too boring, so he has simply been working hard in the company.
He can become the head of the actor planning department, not only by his old qualifications, but also by his vision of reading the script!
He has read scripts for decades and has seen many film and television dramas in the industry that are not favored, but suddenly become popular.
I have also seen many film and television dramas that are very optimistic, but have poor performance when they are broadcast, and they have long been trained into a pair of fiery eyes.
Just this year, a film and television drama that Zhao Bowen was optimistic about last year has been filmed and has achieved very good results.
Last year, many people in the company were not optimistic and felt that there was no need to pay such a high price to buy the script.
Facts have proved that Zhao Bowen's vision is right, Jiang is still old and spicy!
Zhao Bowen said proudly: "I have seen countless post-generations in the screenwriting industry, and I have also seen many famous and unfamous directors, but among them, Gu Che is one of the most impressive to me. ”
"His talent is really outstanding, not only is he so spiritual in writing songs, but he can also stick to the central theme in writing the script, and he writes unconventionally and distinctively."
Zhao Bowen didn't know what he had in mind, and said with some regret: "Actually, after the stage play of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" came out, I went to see one, and I felt that this stage play was adapted beautifully and was more suitable for filming. ”
"It's just that I just thought about it and didn't put it into action. As a result, Gu Che really made the stage play into a movie, becoming the first drama film in history, and also got a good result! ”
"If I had gone to Gu Che in advance at that time, maybe we would have been able to get a piece of the pie in the movie "The Legend of the White Snake: Love".
Xiao Zhenghao smiled and said indifferently: "It's okay, isn't there a TV series now, find someone to contact Gu Che to see if you want to accept the investment, maybe we can still get a piece of the pie." ”
Xingchen Entertainment's family has a great cause, and there are many people who have filmed movies with a box office of more than hundreds of thousands.
Gu Che's "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" is very powerful at the box office, but just like that, he doesn't value it very much.
Zhao Bowen said: "I hope that all the actors in the company can participate in the casting of this drama, even if they are first-line actors." ”
As soon as he said this, the faces of people in other departments changed slightly, and they said: "No, the first-line actors have already arranged the schedule, and they have basically taken over the play, so they can't be pushed off!" ”
"That is, Gu Che is filming a TV series for the first time, and he is a rookie TV series screenwriter, he has made good other adaptations, but he is not necessarily good in the field of TV dramas, and who knows if the TV series he filmed this time is a re-fried cold rice?"
"Yes, that's what I'm most worried about, the plot of the TV series is like the plot of the movie version, and the audience has no freshness, so they will watch the first few episodes, and they won't be able to watch it later!"
Xiao Zhenghao didn't say what he thought, and only looked at Zhao Bowen: "Elder Zhao will make this decision, what kind of rumors did he receive?" ”
Zhao Bowen smiled, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Mr. Xiao." Yes, I just received the news that this TV series that Gu Che wants to shoot is not simple! ”
Xiao Zhenghao became curious, "Why isn't it simple?" ”
Zhao Bowen: "The name has been decided, it is called "The Legend of the New White Lady", not the same series as "The Legend of the White Snake: Love", which can avoid taking the old road of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" and give the audience a sense of freshness. ”
After hesitating, Zhao Bowen said: "In addition, it is said that Gu Che has also made some innovations in casting, I heard that a certain role will be changed, and the actor will be a woman dressed as a man." ”
The news that Zhao Bowen received was that Gu Che would change the important role and take the form of a woman dressed as a man.
But which important role it is, Zhao Bowen doesn't know.
He went around in his mind, and he couldn't guess what kind of character could disguise a woman as a man, so he didn't emphasize the importance of this role.
Maybe the message you received is a little inaccurate?
Originally, the people who opposed Gu Che were afraid that the TV series would overlap with the movie, but now they heard that Gu Che wanted to innovate, and they stopped doing it.
"The movie can be so popular, and it is also because of the excellence of the stage version of the script that it has driven the movie and recreated a TV series, which may not be popular!"
"Yes, Zhao Lao Sansi, the first-line actors have already received the script, and let them quit other dramas for the sake of Gu Che's drama, what do other directors think? This will damage the reputation of our actors! ”
"Gu Che is the first time to adapt a TV series, whether it is a stage play or a movie, the time is relatively short, so the script can be made short and concise, but what about the TV series? There is so much content in the TV series, he is a novice screenwriter, and he can't use first-line actors to gamble! ”
Zhao Bowen was speechless and choked, and said, "Then what do you want?" It's you who are worried about the TV drama scripts eating the old way, and you are the ones who are worried that the TV drama scripts are too innovative, so don't let your artists star in Gu Che's TV series, and don't be first-line or non-first-line, don't forget it. ”
"That's not good, in addition to the first-line actors, other second- and third-tier actors can also try."
"Yes, you have to give the newcomer a chance, what if Gu Che's show becomes popular?"
"Gu Che's reputation is all based on solid records, and I still believe in him this time."
Zhao Bowen glared at them and sighed: "Okay, okay, you just don't want the first-line actors to give up their current film contracts, and want to let the second- and third-line go, so be it." ”
He finally said: "However, I am very optimistic about Gu Che's TV series, if I can let the company's first-line actors pass, maybe it may be possible to go to the next level!" ”
Another senior executive said with a smile: "But in the same way, if you let a second-tier actor participate, maybe you can also bring out a new first-line actor." Mr. Zhao, what the company lacks is not the top stream, but the lack of a new line! ”
……
The meeting of Star Entertainment can be mapped to other entertainment companies.
They quarreled fiercely, hesitating to send actors to watch Gu Che's TV series.
Gu Che's price will not be very high, because he has never relied on the popularity of actors to hype film and television works.
As always, he relies on himself, and he doesn't need actors involved in filming to participate in publicity, he is enough alone.
This has led to the crew where Gu Che is located, and it is Gu Che who controls the absolute right to speak, and no star can please him when he filmed in the past.
If it weren't for Gu Che's film and television works, many entertainment companies wouldn't even want to send second-tier actors!
discussed for two days, and on the third day, many companies had a resolution and sent Ye Ming a list of actors who participated in the mirror.
The filming of a TV series requires not only the protagonist, but also a large number of supporting roles.
So Gu Che discussed with Sun Zhengxin, not only posted a notice on the actors' union to recruit actors, but also sent a notice to major Nanzhou entertainment companies to ask them to report suitable actors.
They intend to combine the two and pick out the right person as soon as possible.
After waiting for a few days, Sun Zhengxin received Ye Ming's message and opened the mailbox.
Ye Ming: [Most of the brokerage companies have sent a list of actors participating in the mirror, you can take a look.] 】
Sun Zhengxin glanced at the mailbox, and suddenly was a little dumbfounded.
Thousands of actors' sight glasses?
Most of them are second- and third-tier actors, but there are very few actors without any filming experience, and more importantly, how many first-line actors are there? ?
Okay, these companies are crazy!
Sun Zhengxin immediately called Ye Ming: "Are you sure you made a mistake?" We are recruiting TV drama actors, not actors from "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" 2! ”
People who don't know think that they all want to film the second part of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love".
Although, they won't be able to come out with a second part.
Ye Ming smiled bitterly: "Don't say it, I was even more surprised than you when I first received the list, and I thought they had voted wrong, but I went to ask a few acquaintances, and they all said that it was because those companies were very optimistic about Gu Che's script." They thought that Gu Che's TV series would be popular, so they sent a lot of second- and third-tier actors over. ”
Ye Ming added: "In fact, some companies still want to send first-line actors over, but many first-line actors have already determined the films for the second half of the year, and if they want to come to audition, they will break the contract if they are selected, which is not good, so they let the second- and third-line actors come over." ”
Sun Zhengxin breathed a sigh of relief, "The second and third lines are the second and third lines, if there is a first line, I don't know how to shoot it!" ”
Don't look at his filming of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" during the Spring Festival, which became the biggest dark horse, with a box office record of 1.8 billion, but he really hasn't had any cooperation records with first-line actors.
To be honest, he hasn't even worked with a second-tier actor.
The team of the film is not all professional actors, but Cantonese opera actors, but a few of them have obtained the second-level opera actor qualification certificate.
Sun Zhengxin pondered, the second-level opera actors recognized by the state must be better than the second-tier actors in the entertainment industry, right?
Thinking so, he straightened his chest and became bold.
it, shoot!
If the first-line actor is selected, then shoot it too!
A first-line actor may not have earned 1.8 billion, but he is a director who has filmed a box office of 1.8 billion!
Ah Q's Spiritual Victory Method is so wonderful.
