Chapter 518 Winning Again

In fact, the news that "Zhu Xian" will be filmed has already spread like wildfire.

Adapted from the best-selling novel, produced by the original author, and the original author is Shen Xudong!

The last time Shen Xudong produced his own work was "The Best in the World", which was called the benchmark for martial arts in mainland China.

This time "Zhu Xian" is not only popular as the original work, but also has the blessing of the game...

What's more, it's a big Xianxia production costing 150 million...

Almost everyone knows that as long as you can play the leading role, you will definitely gain great popularity.

However, people in the industry also know that the joint production between Tianmei Company and Tang Ren means giving priority to their own actors.

Of course, Shen Xudong's casting, especially for an annual production like "Zhu Xian", must strive for excellence, and the character must fit the original work.

The leading actor Zhang Xiaofan and Shen Xudong originally wanted to choose Nie Yuan, mainly because the appearance of the Seven Nights Demon was too handsome and left a deep impression on him.

But Nie Yuan is a bit too old...

Chen Chuhe is actually okay, but... Shen Xudong doesn't like Taiwanese artists!

It’s Brother Hu, he’s the safest!

There is no objection to using him...

Baguio, my original idea was either Zhang Hanyun or Zhao Liying. Both of them are suitable for the quirky role, and the same goes for Tian Linger...

But...their popularity and acting skills are a bit different, so Yang Mi should do it!

One of them chooses to play Tian Linger, and the other plays the soy sauce role.

By the way, in the original time and space, Yu Zheng originally wanted to make "Zhu Xian", with Tong Yali playing Lu Xueqi and Yang Mi playing Baguio, but later the copyright was not secured, so he didn't do it...

Yang Mi plays an eccentric character, at least at this stage, she has no problem.

Lin Jingyu was handed over to Chen Xiao, Qi Hao was handed over to Zhu Anwen, and Zeng Shushu was looking for Yuan Hong...

Other characters are more casual, but they have to be handsome guys anyway!

Even Tian Buyi, that short and fat guy, still has to use Teacher Liang Guanhua.

Suru is teacher He Saifei...

Well, it’s just Lu Xueqi!

Lu Xueqi, the heroine of "Zhu Xian".

Can't find the right actor?

Gee, as soon as this news came out, Chen Xi's phone was buzzing with calls.

After all, Lu Xueqi's position in "Zhu Xian" belongs to the most beautiful woman in the world, and she belongs to the type who becomes famous whoever plays the role...

Moreover, this character has a cold face and does not require advanced acting skills.

To be honest, Shen Xudong was not very satisfied with the makeup test photos of Liu Shishi and Tong Yali!

"I want something cold and noble... Forget it, if that doesn't work, let Tang Yan come and try on the makeup. By the way, send an invitation to a Taiwanese artist, who's name... Zhang Junmi, and ask her to come and try on the makeup... "

Shen Xudong originally wanted to let Li Qin audition, but when he thought about it, she was only 16 years old.

After warning, Shen Xudong turned around and walked towards Chi Yufeng, who had come here specially: "Director Chi, what do you think?"

After all, it is "Zhu Xian", and he has invested a perfect 80 million yuan. Shen Xudong must ask him what he thinks.

Chi Yufeng shook his head, and then said: "I really didn't expect that choosing a role would be so troublesome!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Of course, filming a TV series is a process in itself... The casting of a fairy tale drama like "Zhu Xian" is the most important. Even if it cannot satisfy everyone, it must satisfy the aesthetics of most viewers."

"I thought as long as we have a good relationship..."

"That's an ordinary drama series, and the investment is relatively small. For something like "Zhu Xian", the net must be cast widely..."

"Then what do you want from Lu Xueqi?"

"Beautiful and with that cool feeling..." Shen Xudong looked at him: "Mr. Chi, do you have any recommendations?"

Chi Yufeng shook his head: "Am I from your circle? I don't know anyone..."

After thinking for a while, he added: "By the way, didn't you say you were going to ask Liu Yifei to play the role?"

"Now they are only thinking about joining the film industry and they don't like our show!"

"How is it possible, 150 million investment..."

"I'm going to collaborate with Li Lianlian and Jackie Chan!"

“…”

Chi Yufeng shut up. No matter how idiotic he is, he knows the weight of these two people!

"So... what if we also make a movie?"

"…the cost is too high."

…

Liu Yifei actually knew that Shen Xudong wanted her to play the role of Lu Xueqi. After all, it was obvious!

When casting for "Zhu Xian", Lu Xueqi couldn't find a suitable candidate.

There are reports online...

Everyone said that she was the most suitable candidate, and Shen Xudong also mentioned it implicitly.

However, her management contract, or the planning of her acting career, is decided by her mother. She has agreed to move to the film industry and not accept TV series, so she will not accept it.

It’s useless for anyone to say...

But she will still contact Shen Xudong - after all, Shen Xudong is the only one in the circle who has some relationship with her.

Even if Shen Xudong prefers to ignore it.

"Carol" is so beautiful..."

"Where did you see it?"

"Computer..."

After a while, Shen Xudong replied: "It's a pirated version... Can you watch less pirated versions?"

"...But the movie is really good. I heard that Gong Li has won several film critics awards...can she win an Oscar?"

"Busy, wait a moment..."

Shen Xudong was too lazy to reply, so he put away his phone and chatted quietly with Huang Bo and Chen Hao - they were at the Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony.

This year's Hundred Flowers Award, judging from the number of nominees, is quite fierce: "Zhang Side", "Kung Fu", "Life and Death Niu Yuru", "Fearless", "The Aviator"...

Shen Xudong was nominated for Best Screenplay, Huang Bo was nominated for Best Actor for "The Aviator", "Crazy Stone" was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Chen Hao was nominated for Best Actress, and "A World Without Thieves" was nominated for Best Supporting Actress...

This Hundred Flowers Award is very speechless, because no matter "Kung Fu", "A World Without Thieves", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Crazy Stone", four movies can be included in the top ten list of the 2000s, but in the Hundred Flowers They all failed to win the Best Picture Award...

Even "A World Without Thieves", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Crazy Stone" were not nominated at all...

This is also the biggest reason why Baihua Golden Rooster will never be able to go abroad or get on the stage.

Political gift films are always the biggest, and this type of film is precisely the kind of film that foreign countries cannot empathize with, and eventually becomes an award for self-entertainment...

In fact, the quality of "Zhang Side" is not bad. The fake "Flying" won the best picture and will always be a shame: the lines in it are simply not human!

But again, after all, it’s an audience award in name only, it’s a serious level of authority, so of course you have to win it!

Oh, Shen Xudong knew in advance that he would win the award, Chen Hao also knew that he won the Best Supporting Actress, and Huang Bo... came to present the award.

In the original time and space, Huang Bo had never won the Hundred Flowers Award. "Dear" lost to "Wolf Totem", "Iron Man" lost to "The Wind"...

By the way, "The Secret of the Dragon" nominated him for Best Actor, but he also lost to "Wolf Totem"...

If you really sign up for the male supporting role, and then lose to Li Yifeng.

Tsk tsk…

Later, he simply stopped participating in the Hundred Flowers Award!

"Who are you texting?"

"Lao Huang's classmate!"

Huang Bo was surprised: "My classmate?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, you are in the first year, Liu Yifei!"

"What," Chen Hao couldn't hold back and almost shouted out, and quickly lowered his voice: "Liu Yifei will join you for one session?"

Huang Bo nodded shyly: "Yes, we are all from the 2002 class..."

"...What did you talk to her about?"

"The little girl is very pitiful. She doesn't have a boyfriend, let alone a girlfriend. She stays home all day and is bored... Oh, it's time for the best screenwriter. It's time for me to play..."
