Chapter 145, Erkang Ziwei?

In "The Story of a Noble Family", Jin Yanxi has been shuttling between two women, namely Leng Qingqiu and Bai Xiuzhu.

Jin Yanxi loves Leng Qingqiu, Bai Xiuzhu loves Jin Yanxi. This is a not complicated love triangle.

Leng Qingqiu and Bai Xiuzhu are two completely different people.

Leng Qingqiu is just like her name, she is a progressive young person who doesn't like to joke much, but is well-educated and rational. She gives people the impression of being extraordinary, elegant and graceful.

Bai Xiuzhu is different. She and Jin Yanxi are of the same type. Both are from famous families in the capital. The two families can be said to be well matched. In terms of appearance alone, she is not inferior to Leng Qingqiu, but her personality is completely different. She has the style of a rich lady, she is willful and likes to act like a spoiled brat.

"Liu Yifei just returned from studying in the United States. She has a Western temperament, which just matches the Western-style Bai Xiuzhu."

"Dong Jie has a clear and pure appearance, with a decent and elegant temperament and a fashionable and stylish look, which is also suitable for Bai Xiuzhu."

Shen Lang and Liu Guoquan had a difference of opinion.

Shen Lang is more inclined towards Liu Yifei.

In the original time and space, "The Story of a Noble Family" was Liu Yifei's first play. Her acting skills were immature at the time, and it was precisely this ignorance that made her Bai Xiuzhu appear smart, real, and revealing her true feelings.

I won’t say how good it is, but at least it meets the script’s settings.

Liu Guoquan prefers Dong Jie.

Putting those things aside, Dong Jie has acting skills, after all, he was trained by Zhang Yimou in the movie "Happy Times".

But not much, not as much as Zhou Xun.

"I would like to say that Dong Jie is too pure and lacks the arrogance of Bai Xiuzhu, a rich girl. Although Liu Yifei is also pure, she has a kind of arrogance and nobility. If I have to choose one between them, I personally think that Liu Yifei is better than Dong Jie."

Fang Wanhua has been in the industry for more than a year. She is no longer just a "coal boss" who only invests money. She has mature insights into the preparation and establishment of a crew, the judgment of the quality of a script, the fit between actors and roles, etc.

Her words were well-founded, and she was one of the investors.

In this way, Liu Yifei was decided to play the role of Bai Xiuzhu.

The casting for "The Golden Age" has now been completed.

Next comes signing contracts with the actors.

Then the start of filming was scheduled for March 3th.

It is expected to be completed in three months.

In the middle of the night, Shen Lang returned to the villa. Gao Yuanyuan was still awake, eating fruit and watching TV in the living room.

"Sister Du and I went to the supermarket this afternoon. We saw that the strawberries were quite fresh, so we bought some. You can try them." After he sat down next to her, Gao Yuanyuan handed the fruit to his mouth.

"The strawberry flavor is very strong and the taste is fresh. Not bad." After Shen Lang gave his evaluation, he ate several in succession.

"Sister Du asked me to tell you that Qiong Yao Company contacted her. "My Fair Princess 3: Heaven and Earth" is in preparation. They want you and me to play Erkang and Ziwei. Let's see whether you want to take this role or not." Gao Yuanyuan started talking about business.

"Qiong Yao drama? Return of the Condor Heroes 3? Erkang Ziwei?" Shen Lang's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

This is the buff stacked up.

How should I put it... He hasn't watched many Qiong Yao dramas, but there are three that left a deep impression on him.

One is the evergreen summer TV series "My Fair Princess". You can't help but watch it. It's always on every channel.

One is "The Love of Qinghe" starring Jiang Qinqin and Zhao Wenzhuo. I forgot what it was about, but I remember that the two of them loved each other miserably.
There is also the Bao Jianfeng and Qin Lan version of "Again, I Met You a Dream", in which there is a very explosive line "You only lost a leg, but she lost her love."

It can be said that Qiong Yao drama was born in the late 20th century and developed to the early 21st century. It attracted countless audiences with its unique love stories and emotional descriptions. It shared the TV drama world with Jin Yong's martial arts dramas and was all the rage for a time.

However, with the changes of the times and the evolution of social values, Qiong Yao Opera is gradually no longer accepted by modern audiences.

Specifically, their values ​​are not correct, and some lines and plots are overly exaggerated and unrealistic, lacking a realistic basis, which makes them out of place in modern society.

Anyway, Shen Lang couldn't appreciate it.

The two major themes he excluded here are Qing palace drama and Qiong Yao drama.

Even if I could become more famous by acting in this role, I'm not interested in it.

"Do you want to act?" Shen Lang did not say no right away, but asked Gao Yuanyuan for her opinion first.

"As for me, I don't really like Qiong Yao's dramas. They just keep emphasizing the give and take in love. The hero and heroine must go through all kinds of unnecessary breakups and reunions before they can be together in the end." Gao Yuanyuan is love-brained, but she doesn't like Qiong Yao's expression of love.

"I also don't like Qiong Yao dramas very much, so I won't take it." Shen Lang made the decision.

"Yeah." Gao Yuanyuan nodded and continued, "I'm curious, why didn't they use the same cast from the first and second parts? They were both so successful. If they change the cast for the third part, it might affect the ratings."

"In fact, it's not just Return of the Condor Heroes 3. Most of the domestic series will change casts in the sequels. The reasons include the actors' schedules, personal development plans, and internal factors of the crew. For example, the first part of the popular Young Justice Bao had a different actor in the second part." Shen Lang gave a simple analysis.

In the original time and space, the main actors of Return of the Condor Heroes 3 were all replaced, and many viewers at the time could not understand or accept it.

There are two main reasons.

First, "Return of the Condor Heroes" is adapted from a novel written by Qiong Yao. The first and second parts were completed before the third part was started. This is why the first two parts were filmed and broadcast in 98 and 99, and the last part had to wait until 2002 to start filming.

Second, many actors in the Return of the Condor Heroes crew had already become very famous after filming the first two parts, and when Qiong Yao was revising the script, she happened to encounter a series of events. She had a lot of feelings at the time and was a little unable to continue writing. The actors saw that her work had stopped and her contract had expired, so they went their separate ways.

Later, Qiong Yao herself said that the thing that hurt her the most was the replacement of actors in Return of the Condor Heroes 3.

Why look for Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan?

Red is one reason.

One reason is that his appearance meets Qiong Yao's requirements.

Among all the young actors, they are the most suitable ones besides Zhou Jie and Ruby Lin.

In fact, the script of the third part is so much worse than the first two. Even if the original cast, or Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan, starred in it, it would be difficult to replicate the previous success.

"By the way, are we going to rehearse for the concert tomorrow?" Gao Yuanyuan stopped talking about this topic.

"Well, familiarize yourself with the venue in advance and see if there are any problems with the equipment. You have to go with us." Shen Lang's first concert will be in Yanjing on March 3, which is the day after tomorrow.

"Well, but I can't stay too long because I have to shoot a commercial tomorrow." Gao Yuanyuan was also busy, with advertising endorsements coming one after another.
