Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 70 70. Audition invitation for New Shanghai Beach

Wei Wu, my mother just called me and told me that there is a play that wants me to audition. Do you want me to go?

After the first day of filming was over, Wei Wu was recording the shooting schedule for this week on his notebook. Liu Tianxian, who had just answered the phone and walked in, suddenly spoke.

Wei Wu put down his pen and became a little more interested:

Really? Doesn't our mother-in-law just want you to act in movies, and isn't she happy to let you continue to accept TV series? What's going on this time?

Of course Wei Wu hopes that she will accept the TV series. If she never accepts it, he will even consider making one himself.

But the problem is that to produce a TV series now, even a relatively cheap modern fashion drama, the production cost of a single episode is about 300,000.

Generally speaking, if you want to shoot 30 episodes, you have to prepare at least 10 million. He simply can't come up with that much money at once now.

In addition, if you are not famous, the purchase price of the TV station will usually be very low.

You must know that the purchase price of TV dramas is very low now, and the online copyright is not valuable. During this period, most TV dramas slowly recovered through multiple rounds of rebroadcasts.

After all, one drama has not yet been implemented with two stars, but 4+X is adopted, which means that a drama can be sold to 4 satellite TV stations and N local stations in the first round at the same time.

Therefore, there will often be a TV series that is broadcast by more than a dozen stations on one day. Then the competition between TV stations is not fierce at all, and naturally it cannot be sold at a high price.

Even if you turn on the TV now, you will find that many prime time channels are still airing dramas from last year and the year before last, and even non-prime time dramas from 2002 and even 2001 are still airing!

In addition, the purchasing directors of various TV stations now have great power. Generally speaking, they must find ways to cultivate connections in this area before filming TV series can make money.

But if you are a famous director yourself, then the situation is naturally different. That's why Wei Wucai was not in a hurry to make a TV series. He planned to gain enough fame first.

Liu Tianxian spat at him and said, You're not married yet. You're married to your mother-in-law. Who are you taking advantage of?

Wei Wu smiled a little bit: Don't I want to be more friendly? Besides, I want to fuck you all day long. It sounds like swearing!

Liu Tianxian rolled his eyes at him and said nothing, then continued to introduce the situation:

I guess the reason why my mother wanted me to try it this time is partly because the director is Gao Xixi, and it's also a remake of a popular drama.

Gao Xixi? A remake?

Wei Wu turned his head and immediately guessed which drama it was, and asked directly:

New Shanghai Beach, right?

Liu Tianxian snapped his fingers: Bingdog! Congratulations on your guess.

Sure enough, it is New Shanghai, no wonder Liu Xiaoli is attracted by it. Zhao Yazhi's version of Shanghai is so popular. It can be said that this drama became popular before it was filmed, and it has already attracted a lot of attention.

In addition, director Gao Xixi is not ordinary. Maybe he was not so well-known later, or many people only know that he filmed New Three Kingdoms.

But in fact, at this time, he was already a well-known TV drama director in the industry, and he also filmed two popular dramas with quite good ratings.

One is The Sky of History starring Zhang Fengyi, and the other is Happiness is Like a Flower starring Deng Chao and Sun Li.

As for this New Shanghai, to be honest, the ratings are still good, ranking seventh among the top ten popular dramas in 2007.

The ones listed above are not simple either. From high to low they are Golden Wedding, Soldier Assault, Family with Children, Cooking Class Story 3, Struggle and Love Is Parted.

It can be said that except for Love Is Falling Apart which is slightly less famous, the other dramas are basically worthy of being mentioned when taking stock of the development history of mainland TV dramas. New Shanghai Beach is really not unfair to lose to them. .

As for why the ratings of Love and Parting are so high, it is probably because our teacher Feng Yuanzheng played a psychopathic husband in this drama and reaped a lot of An Jiahe's bonuses.

Wei Wu thought for a while and said: It's possible to go, but I don't think it's a good choice.

After all, I heard that Director Gao Xixi already has his favorite heroine, and you will most likely have to accompany her.

The smile on Liu Tianxian's face suddenly disappeared: Who is it?

It's not that she wants this role that much, but now that she's a star, no matter who hears that she wants to accompany her, they still feel uncomfortable.

Sun Li, Wei Wu stretched out two fingers and said:

If nothing else, there are two conditions you can't compare to.

First, he is from Shanghai, where does the story of Shanghai Bund take place? He has a home advantage. He can speak Shanghainese, can you?

Second, I have worked with Gao Xixi before. Happiness is Like a Flower has good ratings and Sun Li's performance is good, so Gao Xixi will naturally favor her in casting.

Although Gao Xixi chose Sun Li in her previous life because of the above two points. But to be honest, Feng Chengcheng is undoubtedly a failure in Sun Li's acting career.

Everyone knows that Huang Xiaoming received a lot of scolding because of Xu Wenqiang, but in fact, when the TV series first aired, a reporter conducted an audience satisfaction questionnaire.

Although Leader Huang's satisfaction is not high, it is about 62%, while Sun Li's satisfaction is not even 25%.

In other words, the fact that Sun Li received less scolding does not mean that she acted well.

Maybe it's just because Feng Chengcheng's sense of presence is not as strong as Xu Wenqiang's; and she's not outstanding enough, so the focus has never been on her.

At that time, Sun Li was young and beautiful, and her acting skills were also very good. She was also the daughter of a wealthy family. She was very good as Zhou Xiaobai, but she was really not suitable for Feng Chengcheng.

Sun Li was criticized for having two main expressions in the play. One is smiling silly when she is happy, and the other is pouting all the time when she is unhappy.

Most viewers thought that her portrayal of Feng Chengcheng was a bit unable to hold up the thickness and depth of Shanghai at that time, and was a bit pale and superficial.

Although some settings were changed to accommodate her, her performance as Feng Chengcheng was still too ordinary.

He is unruly and willful, not kind at all, and does not know how to consider others. She's like a rich lady who can appear anywhere, too facial and not cute.

Even Fang Yanyun, who is positioned as a bad woman + mistress, is much more likable than her.

Liu Tianxian was a little distressed: Then should I still go?

Wei Wu did not express his position directly, but helped analyze the pros and cons:

It's up to you! Anyway, the situation is like this now. This drama has its own attention, so the ratings will definitely not be bad.

“But there are advantages and disadvantages, because the previous work was so successful, and with the filter halo, it is basically impossible to surpass Zhao Yazhi.

But as long as you accept this role, you will inevitably be compared by the audience after it is broadcast, so you have to be mentally prepared for this.

If he had asked Liu Tianxian before he added anything, Wei Wu would definitely have refused her directly without even thinking about it.

Because this is purely thankless. Although the show's popularity and ratings are acceptable, it will probably do more harm than good to her personally.

With Zhao Yazhi in front of her, she can't be surpassed no matter how she plays.

But then I thought about it, Liu Tianxian is not starring in one or two remakes, so there seems to be no need to care too much about this. After all, aren't Dragon and The Legend of the Condor Heroes both remakes of classics?

Although she is destined to be unable to surpass Zhao Yazhi, there is no problem in winning the title of The Most Beautiful Feng Chengcheng.

After all, even if Zhao Yazhi is overestimated, her peak charm cannot exceed 90, and Liu Tianxian is already 93 now!

In addition, Liu Tianxian's acting skills have also improved by 11 points. He is now 67. He may not be satisfactory in other roles.

But a role like Feng Chengcheng's, a lady of the family, has not yet left her comfort zone, so her current acting skills are basically sufficient.

Anyway, if the current version of Liu Tianxian plays the role, there is basically no chance of surpassing Zhao Yazhi. But in the worst case scenario, it should be slightly stronger than Sun Li!

Then will I answer it or not?

Wei Wu spread his hands and said: The question now is not whether you can accept it, but whether you can choose it.

How about you go to the audition, and if you're not selected, you'll be rejected. If you're selected, it won't be too late for you to worry about it.

Liu Tianxian struggled for a moment and said, Okay then.

At this time, the system prompted that new tasks could be released, but Wei Wu refused after thinking for a while.

Because even he is not sure whether this matter is good or bad, so he better not interfere with her!

Although Wei Wu felt that she had a low chance of winning against Sun Li, if she was really selected, it would be God's will, and it would not be too late to release the task at that time.
