Chapter 434 Showcasing Chinese Culture to the World
Lexi and Yuebei also discussed a lot, and Director Lin also gave some suggestions as much as possible.
However, Lexi still needs to handle the details herself.
Cen Yu'an could also tell that Le Xi was under a lot of pressure.
Lexi Jinshengshi Group's broadcasting department wants to become popular; the previous works they produced and the many efforts they made were all for this purpose.
However, "Po Zhen Zi" has been a resounding success during this Spring Festival season, and has so far grossed 68 billion yuan in China.
Le Xi was somewhat shocked that such impressive results failed to make a splash in the international market.
Xiao Baiyu seemed to have anticipated this, and even gave Le Xi a brief explanation beforehand, telling her not to have too much confidence in the overseas market.
Firstly, many overseas countries strongly resist the invasion of Chinese culture; secondly, they cannot understand the subtle nuances and ambiguous elements in the narratives of Chinese films.
Therefore, Chinese films still have a pitifully small market share in overseas markets.
However, after reading the novel "Nine Realms of Floating Life," Le Xi suddenly developed a different kind of ambition.
She wants to showcase Chinese culture to the world.
In Le Xi's opinion, this excellent original traditional fantasy novel is a very suitable medium for this exhibition.
Traditional Taoist culture, Dunhuang culture, and intangible cultural heritage can all be showcased.
Don't ask why "Po Zhen Zi" was shelved overseas, but Le Xi is so confident in her new drama.
Because she knew that she had Xiaoyu Sister, Hua Shu, and X Venture Capital behind her.
What "Po Zhen Zi" cannot do, "Nine Realms of Floating Life" may not be able to.
The premise is that she must make a good film, and then adapt it into a movie version after the TV series is successful.
What Lexi wants is for flowers to bloom everywhere.
"MaoMaoXi, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I understand what you want. If it doesn't work out this time, we can always have a future together."
Cen Yu'an really wanted to help her, but art is something that can't be seen or touched, and she didn't understand it, so she didn't dare to give too much advice easily.
The only thing I can do is try to support and assist Lexi from the sidelines.
In addition to contacting teachers from the China Drama Association to help Le Xi adjust her state on set, Cen Yu'an asked Le Xi's agent to open an overseas account for her first.
Let's start by helping Lexi manage this account through videos of her traditional talents.
It would be best if it became popular; if it didn't, I could still spend money.
As Le Xi learned more and more on set, she became more and more confident and composed in playing Dong Jun.
When filming the scene where Dongjun and the male lead Mosang first meet, the assistant director suggested that Dongjun and the male lead have a past life bond, so this scene could be a little more romantic.
However, Yuebei and Lexi rejected it together.
"The Dongjun I wrote about has emotions like those of the flying apsaras in the myths and murals, which are both tender and intertwined, and also maintain a restraint that is always above the clouds."
"Director, I think so too. Emotions are just a small, negligible part of Dongjun, a tool to make her more three-dimensional. They shouldn't overshadow the main character or be overemphasized."
The assistant director was about to say something when the director patted him on the shoulder.
The topic stopped abruptly.
The film was shot entirely according to the original story, without adding any additional emotional stories between Dongjun and her husband.
Wei Kai, the actor who plays Dong Jun's husband, was someone Director Lin found with great difficulty. He has popularity, good looks, and some acting skills, and he was willing to play the male lead who wasn't the main character.
Today, when he heard that Lexi and the author had actually argued with the assistant director about whether or not to add intimate scenes between the female lead and himself, he had a very strange feeling.
I felt like I was something dirty.
"Is this funny? Why are you talking like that, all veiled and sarcastic? Who are you trying to imply? I'm not filming anymore!"
With a snap, Wei Kai suddenly overturned the makeup box in front of him, threw off his outer robe, and walked towards the RV.
"You think I'm dispensable? Well then, you guys go ahead and film it yourselves!"
"Buzz..." The walkie-talkie in Director Lin's hand emitted a piercing buzz.
Wei Kai's assistant followed behind, supporting the makeup case and picking up the outer robe. He bowed twice before bending over and chasing after her.
The remaining people looked at Lexi with some embarrassment. Although they all knew that Wei Kai had been a bit unreasonable just now, many of them understood him.
He lowered his status to join Director Lin's film crew simply to get in touch with the famous director and, incidentally, change his image.
When he arrived at the film crew, everything went wrong.
I spent a lot of money, and all I got was a vague promise from the assistant director that I didn't know if it would come true.
The director and staff always put Le Xi first, and even some of the extras were happy to fawn over her.
Wei Kai had already accumulated a lot of resentment since the script reading session.
Today, the assistant director reasonably suggested adding more scenes for him, but Yuebei and Lexi rejected it with their back-and-forth arguments. Lexi even added fuel to the fire by saying that his scenes were dispensable.
The NIO exploded immediately.
He sat angrily in the car, kicked the seat a couple of times, and then took out his phone to play games.
"I'm going to make you all anxious today so you'll realize who's indispensable!" Wei Kai was so engrossed in the conflict he had created that he couldn't extricate himself.
Meanwhile, Director Lin had already instructed everyone to resume their normal work.
In addition, a statement was issued that Wei Kai will no longer play the male lead in "Nine Realms of Floating Life" due to various reasons, and the role reassignment will be announced separately.
Director Lin didn't have anyone go to the car to ask Wei to drive, but instead focused on filming Le Xi's solo scenes first.
So what if it's a female-centric drama? The combined runtime of the male lead isn't even a fraction of the female lead's; there's plenty of time to find new actors.
