Chapter 317 Transformation
After finally finishing filming this group battle scene, Xu Kun had to give the crew a day off to let everyone take their time.
He also locked the door and fell into a deep sleep. It was not until noon that he was woken up by Liu Haibo's phone call.
Lao Liu called just to complain.
After the popularity of "The Unruly Princess" at the beginning of the year, Yahuan Film and Television paid more and more attention to him. It just so happened that the signature series "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" has not had a sequel for two years.
So Uniasia wanted Liu Haibo to take over the filming of "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 4".
At that time, Liu Haibo was both on tenterhooks and extremely excited - although the ratings of "Iron 3" were not as good as "The Diaoman Princess", the national popularity of this series was even higher than that of "The Diaoman Princess". Can't catch up.
As for being on tenterhooks?
The matter between Su Youpeng and Lu Xing has already caused him a lot of trouble. If he faces the iron triangle composed of Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, and Zhang Tielin...
Although he has some PTSD, But he still couldn't bear the popularity of "Iron 4", so he cooperated with Yahuan Pictures to actively promote the preparation work.
As a result, after struggling for several months, it finally failed.
Zhang Guoli felt that the script of "Iron 4" was too bad, so he resolutely rejected Yahuan Pictures, and then turned around and took on "Golden Wedding" - the drama that Huayi wanted to arrange for Zhao Liying.
This is not what depresses Liu Haibo the most. What really depresses Liu Haibo is that there seems to be some problem within Yahuan Pictures. Apart from "Iron 4", there are no other projects. It works.
"Isn't this a waste of time?!"
Liu Haibo said angrily: "I originally took on the role of "Iron Princess" reluctantly because of my love for "The Unruly Princess" "Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan Part 4" ended up looking like this bird"
Xu Kun praised: "It has to be you, Brother Liu. This 'reluctant' person is used. I think you are already three-thirds of Lao Mouzi's skill."
"Don't be poor, be serious."
Liu Haibo said: "There are quite a few books coming to me now, but most of them are in the same genre as "The Unruly Princess". I always feel that they are not very reliable. You have always had a good eye, so please help me analyze it. "
"Hmm~"
Xu Kun thought for a while and asked: "Do you still remember the market analysis made by Beijing TV? "
"Are you talking about the decline of costume dramas?"
Liu Haibo thought about it for a moment and said, "There is indeed this trend. In the past two years, among the top ten ratings, more than half were costume dramas. It only accounts for one-third now, and there are always a lot of big-name productions that have been hit hard.
Didn’t "The Legendary Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang" hit the market recently? By the way, there are also Wanwan ones. "The Prince Turns into a Frog" was compared with your "The Boss", but the ratings were completely lost."
"The Legendary Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang" was released on CCTV earlier than originally planned because of its powerful performance. The cast was also a hit at one point.
It is a pity that although this drama is a large-scale production, the core focus has gone astray. It is purely a bloody drama. Compared with Xu Kun's "Zhu Yuanzhang", although the investment is greater, it is full of charm. Xiaojiaziqi.
There was even talk of Xu Kun slapping Chen Baoguo on the Internet.
But "The Prince Turns into a Frog" is not that good to begin with. The reason why Yuan Kong is so popular is mainly because of the bonus of the 'Originator of Overlord'.
Now this track is directly contracted by Xu Kun in the Mainland, and the following "People on the Road" has brought the TV series to a height that should not be reached.
If "The Prince Turns into a Frog" is released at this time, it is simply asking for death.
"We are talking about the general trend. Why are you talking about "The Prince Turns into a Frog"?" Xu Kun brought back the topic and said: "Brother Liu, I think you might as well take advantage of your current fame and switch to a modern career. Drama.”
"This..."
Liu Haibo hesitated and said: "I have been filming martial arts dramas from the beginning, and now I suddenly switch to modern dramas..."
"That's what I'm saying, if there is A suitable martial arts drama will do - or you might as well try an ancient puppet show, like "Sword of Immortality". "That's okay, I'll think about it first"......< br>
Just when Liu Haibo was wondering whether to change his career, Xu Kun made a special trip to Shanghai to attend the premiere of "Crazy Stone".
Han Sanping and Liu Dehua joined forces to support each other, so the scene at the premiere was certainly not to be underestimated.
Xu Kun attended with Huo Siyan and Liu Shishi - not to mention, Liu Shishi's appearance became even more outstanding after he repaired the flaws in his eyes.
But she didn't seem to be used to it yet. Every time she met someone's gaze, she couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the corner of her eye.
And she seemed to be a little repelled by Xu Kun. When walking on the red carpet holding hands, her body became obviously stiff.
After entering the scene, Xu Kun became one of the focal points and quickly integrated into the inner circle of Han Sanping, Liu Dehua, Ning Hao and others.
This is not the first time that Xu Kun and Liu Dehua have met. They may have had sex with each other in the same room [actually next door]. However, the last time they met, Xu Kun was just a 'junior', but this time... He became a great director that everyone should take seriously.
In order to close the relationship, Liu Dehua also took the initiative to mention Wang Baoqiang, and then specifically exchanged phone numbers with Xu Kun, saying that he could cooperate if there was an opportunity in the future.
Ning Hao also received this kind of treatment, but looking at this scene, he always felt sour in his heart, as if he was being NTRed in front of his face.
However, he had to admit that in addition to investors Han Sanping and Liu Dehua, Xu Kun was the most helpful person to "Crazy Stone".
If it hadn't been for Xu Kun's "Unfortunately" being a big hit, today's scene wouldn't have been so big - when he was negotiating with theaters earlier, he even slightly increased the ticket prices based on this.
So even if Ning Hao felt sour in his heart, he could only greet Xu Kun with a smile, and even flatter him against his will.
Before the film was broadcast, he also took Xu Kun to meet several leading actors. Of course, Huang Bo did not need an introduction, and he also helped introduce the others.
Xu Zheng, Guo Tao, and Xu Kun knew about Liu Ye. Xu Kun once thought that he had met an old enemy. Only when he met the real person did he realize that they had the same name.
There is also a four-eyed man named Wang Xun, whose squirrel-like shape reminded Xu Kun of the big gold tooth in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
This novel was recommended to Xu Kun by Pan Yueming - ever since that time, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other and would exchange words online from time to time.
After Lao Pan saw this novel, he felt that the image of "Hu Bayi" was quite suitable for Xu Kun. He happened to hear that Xu Kun was searching for scripts, so he recommended it to Xu Kun.
Actually, Xu Kun had heard the title of tomb-robbery novels in the chat room before - but movies and TV dramas with this theme were never shown in the chat room.
After reading the novel, Xu Kun found that the plot of the story is indeed unique, but it is difficult to pass the censorship when it is filmed. It would be a bit expensive to make it into an online drama.
Let’s talk about the premiere.
Apart from Huang Bo, Xu Zheng was the most enthusiastic towards Xu Kun - it wasn't that others were not enthusiastic, it was mainly because Director Xu had such a great reputation that he was afraid of having a hot face but a cold butt.
It's normal for Xu Zheng to be interested in "The Lost Road". After all, Xu Kun imitates Xu Zheng's original image in many things in the movie.
Because I stole someone else's famous work - Xu Kun actually remembered it wrong here. Xu Zheng only became the director when he was filming the sequel.
So Xu Kun's attitude towards Xu Zheng is different from that towards others. The two parties can be said to have a very happy conversation - but Xu Kun actually doesn't like Xu Zheng's fussing over things. Son.
In the middle, Xu Kun was called by Han Sanping again and got to know the leaders of Shanghai Film Studio. Only when the movie officially started to be screened did he finally be able to relax for a while.
To be honest, the picture of "Crazy Stone" is a bit blurry and the film quality is insufficient. It is obvious that the digital equipment used by Ning Hao is not very good, at least it is far worse than the one used by Xu Kun to shoot "People on the Road".
But the plot is indeed unique.
Even though he had heard the general plot from Huang Bo and others beforehand, Xu Kun was still watching it with gusto.
The black skin played by Huang Bo made Xu Kun even more impressed.
