Chapter 002: "Residual Sins" and "Old Nine Gates"
"It's really unfortunate, Director Lin, I've already taken on other dramas here, and I really don't have a schedule recently." Chen Zhibin refused quite tactfully.
This reason is not simply to reject Lin Yufan's casual nonsense, as a prescient reborn, Chen Zhibin still has a number of popular IP novel adaptation film and television copyrights on hand.
At present, in addition to "Residual Sin" and "Old Nine Gates" are in preparation, Chen Zhibin has also brought funds into the group to join the upcoming filming of "Charlotte's Troubles".
The film is the first work of Happy Twist to enter the film industry, before the start of filming and release, many capital tycoons in the circle are not very optimistic, and they have encountered a lot of difficulties in attracting investment in the early stage, and there is naturally a shortage of funds.
And Chen Zhibin's arrival is tantamount to a relief in the snow for the crew, even after learning that he wants to play the second male lead, he still gave it.
In his previous life, the original candidate for this role was Wang Ning, who was also an actor of Happy Twist, and was one of the two pillars at that time.
Later, Yin Zheng entered with the entry of the capital tycoon, which replaced the role originally assigned to Wang Ning.
Because of this, Wang Ning, who missed the role of "Yuan Hua", terminated the contract angrily, and broke up unhappily with his old club, and after quitting Happy Twist, he later starred in many film and television works, but he did not make any big waves in the entertainment industry single-handedly, and was soon covered up.
On the other hand, Yin Zheng became an instant hit in the entertainment industry with the role of "Yuan Hua", and became a man who appeared with BGM "One Cut Plum".
The most important thing is that Shen Teng, who was one of the pillars of the same stage as Wang Ning, was in Happy Twist at the beginning, and after "Charlotte Troubles" became a dark horse in the same schedule, he starred in many popular movies such as "Iron Fist of Shame" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and became the box office leader of comedy movies in one fell swoop.
Under the advantages of one and the other, the gap between the two is naturally getting bigger and bigger.
And now, history repeats itself, and under the pressure of capital, the crew just wanted to replace Wang Ning with Yin Zheng, but Chen Zhibin, who took the initiative to enter the market, took the initiative to take advantage of it.
"That's a pity, it seems that we can only wait for the next opportunity to continue to cooperate." Lin Yufan didn't force it, although the role of Zhang Xianzong had a high voice, but after all, it had been written to death in the first season.
If he is resurrected, it may be a matter of writing for the screenwriter, but the follow-up content will definitely be overturned and rewritten.
In the final analysis, Wuxin, who has an immortal body, is the protagonist, otherwise the name of this show would not be called "Heartless Mage".
"No problem, Director Lin, there will be a chance to continue to cooperate in the future." Chen Zhibin responded quite happily, he still has the film and television adaptation copyright of "A Smile is Alluring" in his hand, this phenomenal work was directed by Lin Yufan in his previous life, and if nothing else, the two should cooperate in the future.
Hearing the sound of the phone hanging up, Zhao Yihuan, who was hiding in the quilt, raised his head and took a look, and asked tentatively: "Hung up?" ”
"Hung up." Chen Zhibin nodded "expressionlessly", put the phone back on the bedside table, and motioned for Zhao Yihuan to continue.
Hearing this, Zhao Yihuan immediately couldn't help but glance at him and said, "Is the Heartless Mage going to start filming a sequel?" ”
"Well, there's a second season in the works." Chen Zhibin replied.
"This online drama is so popular now, how many people are in a hurry to participate, why did you refuse." Zhao Yihuan didn't understand, although she didn't hear it very clearly in the quilt just now, she also guessed that it was not far from ten.
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that with the continuous rise of the reputation of "Heartless Mage" on the Internet, Lin Yufan, as the director, planned to gather the original team to shoot the sequel, but Chen Zhibin, the second male lead, collapsed in the sand.
In fact, what Zhao Yihuan didn't know was that in addition to Chen Zhibin, Jin Chen, who played the heroine Crescent Moon, also withdrew from the filming of the sequel.
At the end of the first season, the crescent moon played by Jin Chen and Zhang Xianzong played by Chen Zhibin both died, and they could only change to a new character.
For the two, this is tantamount to starting over, and instead of being unsatisfactory in the second season, it is better to stay in the first season and become gods forever.
"Please, Zhang Xianzong is dead, you can't let him return to his soul anymore!" Chen Zhibin didn't want to turn "Heartless Mage" into "The Legend of Zhang Xianzong".
"You can talk to the director, it's not impossible." Zhao Yihuan said.
Although the character of Zhang Xianzong has been hung up, Lin Yufan, as the director, has called in person, and there is obviously room for redemption.
"Forget it!" Chen Zhibin shook his head decisively, for Zhao Yihuan's proposal, if it was without filming, it might be considered, but with so many copyrights in his hands, he obviously wouldn't fall to this.
Not to mention that he can be the producer and producer, just bringing money into the group, I am afraid that few directors in China can refuse.
Money can make ghosts grind, and stars in the entertainment industry may be unattainable for ordinary people, but for capitalists, they are just a back garden.
"Well, good horn! Then you just said that you have taken on other new plays? Zhao Yihuan remembered Chen Zhibin's remarks about rejecting Lin Yufan just now.
"Oh, it's true, it's just a comedy movie that isn't very popular for the time being, I put some money into it, and the director thought it was appropriate, so he gave me the role of the second male lead." Chen Zhibin said lightly.
"Will it be hot?" Zhao Yihuan confirmed.
"If nothing else, it should be on fire." Chen Zhibin smiled, and the answer he gave was quite pertinent, but his demeanor looked quite determined.
"Can you give me a role too?" Zhao Yihuan put his arm around Chen Zhibin and pleaded, the good figure that was about to come out made people's hearts flutter.
In view of the success of "Heartless Mage", she also wants to take advantage of it, after all, since the micro-film of the famous "Adolescence" series, Zhao Yihuan has acted in many online dramas, but she has never had any representative works that have become popular in the circle.
Nan Yihuan and North Jingtian, both school girls, are beautiful and have a high match when they debut, but they have always been tepid among actresses in the entertainment industry.
"Okay, what role do you want?" Chen Zhibin asked, even if Zhao Yihuan doesn't say it, he still has a play that Zhao Yihuan needs to play, but it is not "Charlotte's Troubles", but the big murderous sister in "Residual Sin".
In his previous life, this role was played by Wu Wei, but he was not outstanding at all in terms of figure, and he was completely unworthy of the character of this role, not to mention that compared with the sister-in-law played by Xu Dongdong, he was directly crushed unilaterally.
