Even after being reborn, you're still in the entertainment industry?

Chapter 18 The Legend of Sword and Fairy

People, they are all double-standard.

Others would feel uncomfortable when using backdoors, but when Sheng Yunxuan had Qin Qianrong as his backer and could get the role directly, that feeling was amazing!

The crew has just started preparing, and the lead actor hasn't been chosen yet, but the second male lead has already been confirmed internally...

When it comes to the leading male character in the drama "Against the Cold Water", I guess most people can't remember him right away.

But if we talk about that stunning Zhong Han's cool version of "Gu Xichao" with his ramen hair, even if you haven't watched this drama before, you've probably seen it on short video platforms...

Being able to get this role was a resource given to Sheng Yunxuan by the company, and Qin Qianrong obviously made a great contribution to it.

Sheng Yunxuan was also quite serious about this and specially bought the original work to compare it with the script.

In fact, in the original novel, the character Gu Xichao is the adopted son of the villain. He is insidious and vicious, and there is not much introduction about him other than that.

However, in the latest TV drama script that Sheng Yunxuan got, this character had been significantly modified.

The revised second male lead "Gu Xichao" is a man of both literary and military talents, with lofty ambitions, but he is not appreciated because of his humble background.

He passed the imperial examination and won the third place, but was expelled because his mother was of a female branch.

He joined the army, but could only serve as a small soldier. Unable to serve his country, he ended up performing on the streets.

She falls in love with the villain's daughter, and in order to win her favor, she is ordered to assassinate the male protagonist Qi Shaoshang who admires her...

Such character settings naturally make people feel regretful. They are much richer than the characters in the original work, and were even directly adopted by a game of the same name later.

The most important thing is that she and the male protagonist Qi Shaoshang have a mutual understanding.

But when it came to actually taking action, the second male lead never hesitated or showed mercy, but always adhered to the serious attitude of going all out and eradicating the problem completely!

I can only say that this screenwriter is really talented. He was able to make the character of "Gu Xichao" quite brilliant without destroying the original work.

This is the most effective way to promote someone by changing the script. It's much smarter than those stars who bring the screenwriter into the crew to make random changes just for the sake of the camera...

However, the crew of "Against the Cold Water" is just in the preparation stage at this time, and it is estimated that it may take until the end of the year to start filming.

However, Sheng Yunxuan's filming for the drama "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" ended very quickly.

During this period, Qin Qianrong certainly didn't want to just let Sheng Yunxuan wait.

With the relaxation of controls from above, many crews have resumed work.

After obtaining Sheng Yunxuan's consent, Qin Qianrong continued to arrange roles for him.

I don't seek to play a leading role, nor do I necessarily need a large crew. I just want to film more to gain experience and appear on screen more often to gain fame.

For Qin Qianrong, who has been in the film and television production circle for many years and has considerable connections, even if Sheng Yunxuan is not famous enough, it is still no problem for him to take on some supporting roles.

So she easily brought back a bunch of scripts and let Sheng Yunxuan choose from them.

Sheng Yunxuan flipped through the books roughly, just wanting to pick out the ones he remembered to see if he could find any bargains.

Then he found one script among these that surprised him.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

"Oh, this is from the Sugarman Company, a game adaptation... You should have played this game before." Sheng Yunxuan's heart suddenly jumped, and then he said:
"Can I play Li Xiaoyao?"

This is "Chinese Paladin 1". Although it was condemned and opposed by fans of the original game after it was broadcast, it still had extremely high ratings.

Liu Tianxian, known as the "blood cow of the entertainment industry", has at least one-third of her blood coming from her "Zhao Linger".

It was thanks to this drama that Hu Ge suddenly gained a lot of attention...

Moreover, for Sheng Yunxuan's Golden Finger Simulator, the rewards for simulating the character "Li Xiaoyao" must be very high!

Hearing Sheng Yunxuan's question, Qin Qianrong said helplessly:

"What are you thinking? The male lead is a newcomer just signed by Tangren!"

Although Sheng Yunxuan is not a professional, he has more experience.

His acting skills aren't that great, but he had "reference answers" to copy during filming, so it still looked quite intimidating.

These comprehensive conditions are not much worse than those of the fledgling Brother Hu.

But Brother Hu signed the role of Sugar Man directly after the audition.

Moreover, he is very suitable for the role of "Li Xiaoyao". How could Tangren be willing to replace him with someone else?

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunxuan couldn't help but shook his head with some regret.

I actually forgot about the drama "Chinese Paladin 1", otherwise I would have tried it anyway...

He lowered his head and looked through the script, and found that the script Qin Qianrong brought back was the script of Shushan disciple Jiang Ming.

He was the chief disciple of the previous generation of Shushan who was not tolerated by his master for falling in love with a fox demon, then hid in the Demon Locking Tower, and even killed all the elites of his generation of Shushan, and was finally converted by Li Xiaoyao and the Sword Saint.

In fact, there is no character named Jiang Ming in the game, but after entering the Demon Locking Tower, the game character will meet Jiang Qing, a Shushan disciple with similar experience.

This character was drastically revised in the TV series script, but it turned out to be much more interesting...

As for Qin Qianrong, she had no idea of ​​the huge influence this drama would have after it was broadcast.

It's just a costume idol drama adapted from a game. Having been involved in many big projects, she may not think highly of it.

Seeing Sheng Yunxuan's disappointment, he just assumed he was a loyal fan of the game and continued:

"Forget about the protagonist, but I think the role of 'Shushan Chief Jiang Ming' is very suitable for you. Do you want to give it a try?"

This Jiang Ming was the recognized "Chief of Shushan" of the previous generation, a dragon among men. After falling into the devil's way, he was able to kill all the elites of Shushan, causing Shushan to fall for many years before it rose again under the hands of the Sword Saint...

It was really because when Qin Qianrong first met Sheng Yunxuan on the set of "The Emperor Wu of Han", that sharp and brilliant Sheng Yunxuan left her with an unforgettable impression in her life.

So when she saw the role of this peerless genius, she subconsciously felt that it was very suitable for Sheng Yunxuan.

After Sheng Yunxuan considered it for a while, he nodded and said:
"Okay, this is it!"

"Chinese Paladin 1" is a drama that is destined to be a hit. Even if you can't play the leading role, it would be nice to play a more outstanding supporting role in it.

This can be considered as a free ride, making myself familiar to the audience...

Moreover, this is a rare fantasy drama these days!
Sheng Yunxuan really wanted to know, if his golden finger simulator gave him something that didn't exist in reality, like the Shushan Sword Controlling Technique, would he be able to practice it?
