I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 87, Youthful Gao Yuanyuan
At this time, Li Xuan was also preparing to report to the set of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". Most of the scenes were shot in the CP area of ​​Peking, and more interior scenes were shot in the Hengdian Film and Television City.

Report in Peiping first, then follow the crew.

This version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber had sufficient funding, and his bravery was almost as great as that of Zhang Huzi.

This is also a positive cycle of investment. Martial arts dramas of this era have always been a hot commodity, featuring chivalry, martial arts, the underworld, and freedom.

These are what the young people of this era yearn for, but Li Xuan feels that the most important factor is that this group of audiences are exposed to novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long, and naturally the same is true for the adapted works they accept.

To know the popularity of works of a certain era, just look at the pay of their leading actors. Zhao Wenzhuo earns 100,000 yuan per episode, and Zhao Yanzi earns 130,000 yuan per episode. Costume dramas are basically the ceiling of pay for TV dramas.

It is also because of this that period dramas and martial arts dramas dominated the world between the millenniums. If you want to get a share of the market in this era, you have to take these two paths.

Song Qingshu's pay was not too much, only one thousand per episode. For Li Xuan, this pay was pretty good, but when he thought about Zhang Wuji's pay of fifty thousand per episode.

It won’t smell good anymore.

When filming "My Fair Princess", Su Youpeng's salary was 2,000 yuan per episode, but when he filmed "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", his salary doubled.

There's nothing I can do about it, Princess Huan Zhu is just so awesome.

At this time, Li Xuan came to the set of the Taiwan Island Circle, and almost everyone was surrounding Zhang Wuji.

Su Youpeng, Little Tigers, a famous idol group, a hexagonal warrior who is a trinity of singing, dancing and acting.

Many stars of this era are like this, they can sing, dance and act, and the requirements for artists are much higher than in later generations.

When Li Xuan arrived at this scene, he was not ignored.

"Our top student from Beijing Film Academy is here."

At this time, director Lai Qingshui looked at Li Jiaxuan who came to report to the crew and teased him without any concealment.

Of course, this kind of ridicule is not derogatory.

Even though for many crews, the main roles basically require the background of three major universities, Li Xuan's identity as a prospective college student does not have much advantage. Basically, whether it is the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama, there are no roles to shoot until the third year of college.

Of course, their starting point is also different from that of ordinary extras. Most of them start out as extras and only get roles with lines, while those who graduate from the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama start out as fourth-tier supporting roles.

But unfortunately, this is the top student of Beijing Film Academy, and he got close to full marks in three rounds, which has attracted a lot of attention in the circle. There are batches of ordinary Beijing Film Academy students every year, but there is only one top student who gets full marks in three rounds.

Gold always shines. When he was signed, he was just a small role, playing Zhang Cuishan. If he didn't have the experience of Zhang Cuishan, he would not have been able to get the third-line supporting role of Song Qingshu with his resume. It's just that the performance of the young Zhang Sanfeng was quite outstanding, and the role of Song Qingshu was really not that likable.

Although it is a third-tier supporting role, not everyone is willing to play it. Moreover, the actor needs to have a good image and temperament, and be able to perform the temperament of a noble young man.

This kind of "clown" role requires extra money to be played in the industry.

The combination of appearance, price, and temperament makes Li Xuan the cost-effective choice for Song Qingshu in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

And now with his status as the top student of Beijing Film Academy, this cost-effective option has become a great value for money.

It's a small treasure.

And it can also be hyped up in public opinion, with the top student from Beijing Film Academy coming to be the clown for my Little Tigers.

If we let the tabloid media do this, wouldn't the attention be rolling in?
"The role of Song Qingshu is quite suitable for you at the moment, but the character's image is not very good. I want you to polish it and prepare for our next role of Murong Fu."

In the crew of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, another person appeared, that is Zhang Jizhong from the Beijing TV circle. After all, he is a real Beijinger. When coming to his place to film, no matter how arrogant the Taiwanese guy is, he has to pay his respects first and invite the big guy to the crew.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Li Xuan and told him his decision directly.

Just because you are the top student in Beijing Film Academy, I will fulfill my promise and let Murong Fu give you a try. I will arrange an audition for you when the time comes.

Li Xuan was a little surprised and thanked him first.
Finally, I half-captured my 'cousin'!
I remember that Murong Fu's original role was to be a brother of the Xiu family who followed Zhang Huzi in his battles.

For Zhang Jizhong, this is indeed the case. If Li Xuan was not there, it would definitely have been chosen for Brother Xiu. His temperament and appearance are both acceptable.

even.

If Xiuqing had directed Liu Yifei's acting when The Story of a Noble Family was being filmed, it would be hard to say what role she would have played given this personal favor.

But now, she suddenly "woke up" in the Golden Age, so she didn't have to cultivate her favors for a while, and Tianlong Babu had more choices.

Now, when Zhang Jizhong saw the makeup of Li Xuan and Song Qingshu being done, he was amazed.

The young man is as pretty as jade and painted, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. I have to say that this young extra from Hengdian has really good looks and temperament.

Not inferior to Xiuqing at all!

Also, why didn't I notice when I was filming Yin Zhiping that he had such a strong presence in the crowd? Maybe I just didn't notice it at the time?

This sense of presence.

He is the potential to be the protagonist.

In fact, Zhang Jizhong is not without selfish motives. When choosing a role, the weight is not entirely on the actor's own acting skills and other abilities, but also on some of his off-screen qualities.

Zhang Jizhong did not deny at all that he liked Li Xuan as an actor, but he still placed greater weight on the performance of the work.

For a work to achieve success, quality and publicity are both indispensable. For example, Zhang Huzi felt that the quality of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was better than "Young Zhang Sanfeng", but when they were broadcast at the same time, the results were very different, with both being well received but not popular.

Gimmicks are most conducive to publicity and promotion.

The top scorer of Beijing Film Academy is a good gimmick.

Murong Fu, the top student at Beijing Film Academy, is so popular that his press release alone is enough to write a lot of stories about him. In other words, even if Li Xuan's performance is "inferior" to Xiu Qing's, Li Xuan might still be chosen - there is a natural material for hype, and I, Zhang Huzi, just like to hype things up.

He and Lai Qingshui agree on this point, but Lai Qingshui's idea is more ruthless. Lai Qingshui thinks that the top student of Beijing Film Academy will play the "clown" for my Su Youpeng. This title is also very clever, and it can also do favors to the big boss Song Wenshan, the boss of the Little Tigers.

However, there is nothing perfect in the entertainment industry. You use me and I use you. Zhang Jizhong also feels that the role of Song Qingshu is not very good. But for Li Xuan, being able to play a third-tier ugly supporting role is already far beyond his status.

You are just a student at the Beijing Film Academy who has not yet enrolled. Even if you are a junior or senior at the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama, if you are not a resourceful person, you have to start from the fourth tier.

The starting point is already very high.

"It seems that the title of top student in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy has brought me many benefits."

His positioning is similar to that of Song Qingshu. His role status, positioning, and personality are very similar. After all, they are both characters created by Jin Yong, so it is normal for them to have some similarities in positioning.

They are all noblemen with abundant resources, and they are all stepping stones for the protagonist.

If we have to say where Murong Fu has more scenes than Song Qingshu, it is probably because Tian Long Ba Bu has three protagonists. Song Qingshu only needs to fill in for Zhang Wuji, while Murfu has to fill in for Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Xu Zhu.

In other words, in the costume drama, he has a third-tier supporting role and a second-tier supporting role, and their positioning is similar.

However, Murong Fu requires four acting slots, which is much more complicated.

Different characters, different lives. Although Jin Yong gave them similar positioning, they are ultimately different individuals.

At least, Li Xuan thought so.

Even if the characters and the colors are similar, they have different compositions and flesh and blood.

When the crew started to operate, all kinds of noises became less and less, including the title of the top student of Beijing Film Academy in Wenmingguan. It was just a temporary curiosity, and the focus of filming was still clear.

The story of Zhang Wuji and his concubines.

At this time, Su Youpeng also came to talk to Li Xuan. This was the second time the two had worked together. The first time was when they were young Zhang Sanfeng.

In fact, Su Youpeng knew Li Xuan's strength better. It can be said that he single-handedly turned the Mandarin version used for review into a watchable version.

Zhang Weijian also has a very high opinion of him. When acting with him, the wonderful feeling is so addictive.

It’s a pity that Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu didn’t have much interaction.

Poor and pitiful Song Qingshu, even his role as a clown and a bootlicker was one-sided and incompetent. He was not the main villain of Zhang Wuji.

Their vision is very grand, encompassing the entire Central Plains martial arts world and the entire pseudo-Yuan regime. This is in line with Jin Yong's theme: the greatest heroes serve their country and their people.

Su Youpeng also came to chat with Li Xuan, and guided Li Xuan on some acting elements as a senior, and said a lot of useful stuff that made Li Xuan feel like he was watching a Japanese short film, where the interpersonal relationships were all like seniors and juniors.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with Su Youpeng, it’s just that Taiwan is greatly influenced by the Little Ghost Island. The Little Tigers were created to compete with Johnny's idol group, so it’s normal to have such a habit.

It can be regarded as a kind of concern of the elders for the younger generations, and also as a declaration of sovereignty.

In the crew of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, I, Zhang Wuji, am the leading actor.

No matter how great you are, you are the top student in the Beijing Film Academy, you are just a third-tier supporting actor who has not yet started school, while I am a star who has already become famous thanks to the role of Fifth Prince.

If we have to name the person who has the most scenes with Song Qingshu, it would probably be Zhou Zhiruo. At this moment, this white lotus in the early stage and female devil in the later stage, was standing timidly in front of Li Xuan.

The future leading lady and national wife Gao Yuanyuan was standing timidly in front of Li Xuan.

Fuck Zhao Youting.
