Chapter 499: Coal Boss

Zhang Dabeard is also a well-known No. 1 person in the circle, and as a member of the director team, he has participated in the production of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin".

In recent years, CCTV has begun to adapt Jin Yong's martial arts, and Zhang Jizhong, as the producer and chief director, has been in the limelight in the industry.

It's just that the burden falls on the shoulders, and it is not easy to open a beard.

The key is that today's audience appreciation level is high, and it is difficult to reconcile all mouths, plus there are more choices, and it is not ordinary difficult to satisfy everyone.

CCTV's adaptation of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", it is said that Jin Yong only needed a dollar for the copyright fee back then, because he hoped that CCTV could shoot himself with the attitude of filming "Water Margin".

Zhang Jizhong is indeed very attentive to this TV series, from framing to martial arts design, to various soundtracks, all of which have deeply restored the description of Jin Yong.

Most of the actors have received unanimous praise, Wei Zi's Yue Buqun, Li Jie's Lin Pingzhi, almost as if they came out of the original book.

In particular, Ren Yingying, the heroine played by Xu Qing in the play, has received unprecedented praise.

Even Jin Yong was full of praise for Xu Qing's Ren Yingying, saying that this was the most perfect version of Ren Yingying in his heart.

You must know that it is very difficult to restore the role of Ren Yingying, the TVB version of Ren Yingying played by Liang Peiling, although her acting skills are good, her appearance is very thunderous, and Ren Yingying, played by Yuan Yongyi, the treasure island version, has not been able to interpret Ren Yingying's charm, only Xu Qing, whether it is appearance, temperament, or acting skills, it is very perfect.

Although this drama is perfect in other aspects, the main reason why it was complained by the audience back then was the choice of the actor Ling Hu Chong, because Ling Hu Chong played by Li Yapeng was too overwhelming.

Originally, Ling Hu Chong was played by another actor Shao Bing at the beginning.

Shao Bing's temperament and facial features are very consistent with Jin Yong's description of Ling Hu Chong.

It's just that Shao Bing was suspected of playing a big name in the crew at that time, which made Zhang Jizhong unbearable and kicked him out of the crew directly.

In the end, the actor of Ling Hu Chong found Li Yapeng, a popular student at the time, but the problem is that although Li Yapeng is famous, both his facial features and temperament are too far from the uninhibited Ling Hu Chong in the book, and his acting skills are not so good that people can ignore his face.

Compared with the TVB version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", in terms of the scene and the heroine, in fact, the CCTV version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" can win completely.

But the reason why the TVB version can be a god is because of the most successful Linghu Chong in history, and Lu Yuxian's Linghu Chong can really be called peerless and chic.

If a more suitable actor could be selected to play Ling Hu Chong back then, I believe that the TVB version could be filmed dead on the beach.

But Zhang Jizhong didn't know it, so there was a later "Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Everyone knows that if you want to shoot "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" well, as long as Guo Jing and Huang Rong choose the right role, they will be more than half successful.

The 83 version of the Condor Shooting starring Weng Meiling and Huang Rihua, although the original work was changed by magic, but because of the right choice of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, it became a classic in the end.

The 94 version of Condor Shooting starring Zhu Yin and Zhang Zhilin also chose Guo Jing and Huang Rong correctly, which made this drama a classic in the minds of many post-90s.

And Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the reason why countless audiences are dissatisfied is because Guo Jing and Huang Rong played by Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun have too much sense of disobedience, which makes people unable to enter the play at all.

Huang Rong played by Zhou Xun, in fact, just looking at her appearance and acting skills, it is still very consistent with the description of Huang Rong in the original book, especially Zhou Xun's feeling of full of aura, which is a rare performance of Huang Rong's ice and snow smartness.

It's a pity that Zhou Xun insisted on playing Huang Rong with the original voice at that time, and her duck voice was too dramatic.

If Zhou Xun's Huang Rong is just a voice to persuade the audience, then Li Yapeng's Guo Jing, no matter his appearance or acting skills, can not see the shadow of Guo Jing at all.

Many viewers think that Li Yapeng's Guo Jing is deliberately pretending to be stupid, and his slow tone makes Dazhi Ruoyu a real fool, and there is a lack of a heroic temperament in his gestures.

I have to say that Li Yapeng really can't play a hero, whether it is Guo Jing or Ling Huchong, he is the existence of a guest in the play.

There are two Jin Yong martial arts dramas in a row, which gives people the feeling that Zhang Jizhong will never choose the wrong actor, but the heroine is used well, no wonder some people say that he is choosing the heroine with his head and the male protagonist with his feet.

This time, CCTV is preparing to remake "The Condor Heroes", which is also in front of Zhuyu.

The TVB version of Gu Tianle's Yang Guo is enough to become a god, if you still don't choose the right actor, you will definitely be scolded even worse.

Now that the preparations are almost over, the actor is left unsettled.

There are a lot of actors who have recommended him during this time, and it is not for nothing that they think are good, but Zhang Jizhong always feels a little bit worse.

Seeing that the scheduled start-up time was getting closer and closer, the actor was not in place for a long time, and the leaders of CCTV also asked many times.

Originally, Zhang Jizhong wanted to grit his teeth and set Huang Xiaoming, who Wang Zhonglei recommended to him.

But at this time, someone mentioned Zhang Chu to him.

Let Zhang Chu play Yang Guo?

Once this thought is born, it can no longer be suppressed.

Zhang Jizhong also knows that it is difficult, Zhang Chu is not easy to invite, and the salary of tens of millions of dollars for a movie can be compared to the two jujubes of their crew.

What's more, TV series don't necessarily have much attraction to Zhang Chu.

For others, the role of Yang Guo is an opportunity that cannot be sought, but in Zhang Chu's eyes, it may just be a burden.

But if you can invite Zhang Chu here......

This huge temptation, Zhang Jizhong thought about it, and he couldn't let it go.

With Zhang Chu's influence, as long as the acting is not too bad, this drama will be considered a success.

In order to be able to see Zhang Chu, Zhang Jizhong also took great pains, and finally found Wang Jinghua through a friend, so he asked Zhang Chu out.

After a period of greetings, Zhang Jizhong was not in a hurry to enter the topic, but chatted with Zhang Chu about the chivalrous spirit in Jin Yong's martial arts world.

Probably Zhang Jizhong thought that a young man like Zhang Chu must have a heroic dream.

But I never thought that the so-called "chivalry" mentioned by Zhang Jizhong was a group of hooligans who ignored the laws of the court and disregarded human life.

Now, those gangs are organized crime gangsters, and the so-called heroes are just bandits.

Expecting Master Zhang to empathize is really too much.

At this time, the door of the private room opened again, and a personable middle-aged man walked in.

Who is this?

This person's gestures all show a kind of superior posture.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm late."

He said he was embarrassed, but his tone was not apologetic.

"Mr. Chen!"

Zhang Jizhong got up and said hello, and then he was going to introduce Zhang Chu to him.

"No, no introduction, Zhang Chu, a big star, a national hero, know, know everything."

The person who came looked at Zhang Chu with a smile, but the undisguised ridicule in his tone made Zhang Chu very uncomfortable.

Zhang Jizhong also noticed that Zhang Chu frowned, and secretly said something bad in his heart.

"Sister Hua, meet again."

This person wants to take the initiative as soon as he appears, probably because of habit.

Wang Jinghua's eyes also flashed a trace of impatience, but he held back, got up and shook hands with the other party.

"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time."

After speaking, he said to Zhang Chu again.

"Xiao Zhang, this is ...... Chen Jinfei, Mr. Chen. ”

When Zhang Chu heard this, he just nodded.

Chen Jinfei was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then smiled.

"Don't call Mr. Chen so outside, just call Lao Chen."

After speaking, he pulled out a chair and sat on the other side of Zhang Jizhong.

"I'm sorry, Director Zhang may not have made it clear to the two of you, today's bureau is the one I proposed to group, it's a bit presumptuous, forgive me."

Zhang Chu and Wang Jinghua didn't speak, but looked at Zhang Jizhong, waiting for the bearded man's explanation.

Zhang Jizhong smiled a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "That's the case, Mr. Chen is also an investor in this play, and he also proposed that Xiao Zhang can play the role of Yang Guo." ”

Wang Jinghua frowned when he heard this: "Director Zhang, this "Condor Heroes" is not exclusive to CCTV? ”

"It's CCTV's main investment, Mr. Chen's ......"

"It's all the same, it's all the same."

Without waiting for Zhang Jizhong to finish speaking, Chen Jinfei took the words.

"I am also interested in the film and television industry, this time it is an official test of the waters, and I have to rely on the two of them to support it."

Hehe!

Where did you get such a big face?

In a word, he wanted Zhang Chu to lower his figure, and used a tone of charity, as if Zhang Chu had taken a big advantage.

"Director Zhang, this situation ...... Why didn't you make it clear before? ”

Wang Jinghua's tone was already a little dissatisfied.

The reason why she previously suggested that Zhang Chu consider taking over this drama was also because of the CCTV brand.

Zhang Chu refused the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala several times, which has already made the other side very dissatisfied.

If you can star in CCTV's works, you can naturally get closer to the relationship between the two sides.

But things are a little different now.

Although it is the main investment of CCTV, is there anything else in this?

If you don't figure it out, Wang Jinghua doesn't want Zhang Chu to waste too much time on a TV series.

"This ...... It's a bit complicated. ”

Zhang Jizhong also felt uncomfortable.

"Sister Hua, Xiao Zhang, let's explain it too!"

Chen Jinfei said with a smile, as if he didn't notice the unhappiness of the two at all, or rather, he didn't care at all.

"I voted for this work, and the starring role is still paving the way for a junior in the family, let's put it this way, I participate in it, only help, don't make trouble, I say this The two should be able to understand!"

Got it!

What's not to understand about this.

The same thing is too common in the current film and television industry.

Rich bosses spend money to support their favorite female stars.

For this, it has even reached the level of sparing no expense.

This kind of person was also given a "nickname" in the circle - coal boss.

I just don't know where this person is digging coal, and who is going to hold it this time.

"Director Zhang, are you going to use Zhang Chu as a ladder?"

Wang Jinghua's expression was already angry.
