Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 104, Big Change [5 more monthly tickets requested]

In this way, it is equivalent to a co-production bringing together the four places of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.

And along with it comes the privilege of the investors - recommending actors.

China Audiovisual Global Media Group is one of China's famous international film groups.

With its strong investment strength, it has worked closely with many media celebrities such as Zhang Jizhong, Zhao Baogang and Wang Jin, and has achieved impressive results in the fields of movies, TV series, TV programs and overseas distribution, as well as radio stations, cinemas, artist management and entertainment records.

They recommended more than a dozen actors right away, including the iron triangle of Zhang Tielin, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun, Li Xiaoran, etc., all of whom are powerful and idol actors from the mainland.

Changhong Film and Television in Formosa Province was established in the early 90s.

It occupies an important position in the mainstream film market of Hong Kong and Formosa Province.

They have few promoters, but they have big appetites and want Alec Su or Sun Yaowei to play Zhang Wuji.

MediaCorp is a broadcasting group in Singapore.

Business covers television, radio, entertainment products, films, newspapers, magazines, electronic media and other broadcasting services.

They are the most restrained. As long as one of the four beauties of Singapore, Fan Wenfang, Guo Feili, Zheng Xiuzhen and Lim Xiangping, can participate in the performance, there is no requirement for the size of the role.

“Now it’s all about hating capital.”

Shen Lang shook his head and smiled, realizing that he was quite hypocritical.

The good thing is that Julang and Shenghua together account for 60% of the investment and have absolute say.

Therefore, there is no need to look at the faces of these three companies, but these three companies have to look at their faces.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any suggestions?" Shen Lang asked Fang Wanhua in the conference room.

"My only suggestion is to allocate the budget reasonably. The cost of 2000 million is very high for a TV series. There are 40 episodes in total, and each episode must sell for 50 to break even." Fang Wanhua is blind to casting. As long as Shen Lang is there, she will consider the profit more.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I know my limits. Most of the budget will be put into costumes, props and post-production, and I'll choose actors with good value for money." Shen Lang is also aiming to make money. He won't spend money recklessly and will follow the principle of cost-benefit trade-off.

"Then just decide. If the workload is too heavy, wait for the director and screenwriter to come and let them assist you."

"I'll check the big roles, and let them play the small roles freely."

The director is the same as in the original time and space, Lai Shuiqing, and his professional ability is beyond doubt.

The screenwriters are a team of three, all of whom are veteran screenwriters of martial arts films and have rich experience.

Shen Lang began to make changes on the list.

First dismantle the audio triangle.

Zhang Guoli's Cheng Kun and Wang Gang's Antu Temur are acceptable.

Zhang Tielin's Yang Xiao is a piece of shit.

First of all, he is too old, which is inconsistent with the original work; secondly, his image makes it difficult to associate him with the word "romantic and suave", as he seems a bit greasy.

The most popular part is the kissing scene between him and Xiao Tao Hong, which was really obscene.

Who should we replace him with? Someone with high cost-effectiveness and who can also portray Yang Xiao’s romantic and suave character?

Got it, Hubin.

His facial features are angular and full of lines. As a model, he is tall and strong, and very recognizable.

Next Zhao Wei and Chen Kun passed.

As for Li Dabai, he has a great figure and looks, but it seems that there is no suitable role for him.

Purple-clothed Dragon King Delis?
However, this role would be best played by an actor with a bit of exotic charm, such as Tian Li, who plays the mother of Nie Feng, a standard master in "Feng Yun: The Hero Dominates the World".

Let’s have a chance to cooperate again in the future.

After a while, Shen Lang sorted out the recommended list of China Audiovisual and asked for six.

Chang Hong pushed for this. First, Su Youpeng was killed. He is now very popular in the mainland with "My Fair Princess" and "My Fair Princess". His salary is too high, so he cannot play Zhang Wuji. Sun Yaowei has a good image. He just got rid of the ban by his former company and has not become popular in the mainland with "A Chinese Odyssey". His salary is not high. If he is willing, he can play Song Qingshu.

The best arrangement was made by MediaCorp, which followed the original time and space and let one of the four beauties in Singapore, Princess Guo, play Yin Susu.

Soon, Shen Lang decided on the actors for the main roles.

The director and screenwriter arrived in the afternoon and had basically no objection to the list.

The only thing Lai Shuiqing suggested was that Gao Yuanyuan was more suitable to play Zhou Zhiruo.

Shen Lang did not accept it.

Then we discussed the script.

That's right, he wants to change.

There were no problems with "Love Across Time and Space" and "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old" as a whole, so I was too lazy to have "friendly negotiations" with the screenwriters.

However, this version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has many problems.

The whole story structure is loose, the lines are lengthy and tedious, and the modern romance is extremely Qiong Yao-like, which is a minus point.

The added and deleted plots of the original novel are nothing but superfluous, and do not even conform to the personalities of the original characters. There is no logic at all. One gets the form of Jin Yong's original work, but fails to grasp its spirit.

For example, Cheng Kun in the original novel is a hidden character, from the moment he was mentioned by Xie Xun on the Ice and Fire Island to his "resurrection" on the Bright Summit, until he officially appeared in the battle at the Shaolin Temple at the end of the book.

In this version, Cheng Kun appears in the first episode and makes his conspiracy public.

The only explanation for this operation is probably that Cheng Kun is played by the famous Zhang Guoli, who spent a lot of money on this role, and this famous face had to appear more often to increase the ratings.

Ran and egg.

He is not playing the emperor, but a supporting role, Cheng Kun. How much ratings can he get?
Adaptation is not random editing, drama is not nonsense!
"With so many changes to make, it will take at least a month."

After listening to what Shen Lang said, the three screenwriters discussed it and gave a revision time.

"It's too late to wait until December. So, you can modify the front part first, and then when the filming starts, you can modify it while shooting."

Shen Lang hopes to start filming in mid-November and complete it in three to four months.

"Ok."

The three screenwriters nodded in unison.

At this point, the actors and script have been decided.

What is different from the previous drama is that this time Shen Lang is the producer, who is fully responsible for the script coordination, pre-production coordination and forming a filming crew, etc.; Fang Wanhua is the producer, who only needs to invest money in the crew, provide funds, and finally do market research.

In other words, Shen Lang is in charge of more things and is even busier.

And even in the midst of being busy, I still have to find time to deal with music matters.

The most recent one is the "Realizing Football Dreams Together, Singing the Same Song" celebration party.

The Football Association has already called and expressed their satisfaction with the national football team's expedition song he wrote.

He has never failed in his actions, so he is always satisfied.

The accompaniment tape has been rushed out and will be used in the party.

The recording has also been completed, and the single disc is being prepared, which will be made into side A and side B with the song "Together Towards the Future".

On October 10, Du Ting returned.

Every time she disappears and reappears, she brings good news, and this time is no exception.

The results are average, but I still thank everyone for their subscriptions, rewards, monthly tickets, and remember to participate in the lucky draw. The results will be increased by 10,000 per day per month, and the update time will remain unchanged, at midnight every day.
