I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 232, The Simultaneous Release of "Lotus Lantern" and "Chinese Paladin".

at this time.

Beijing, the Cultural Troupe of the Political Department of the China Air Force of the Aerospace Force.

At this moment, Lu Zhengguang listened to Yang Wei's report and smiled slightly.

"See, I told you this kid was good."

"I'm truly impressed, Mr. Lu. Where did you find such a unique talent? I've never seen such an immersive actor before. How does he manage to handle so many different types of roles?"

Yang Wei also felt a sense of awe when facing the cultural troupe of the Aerospace Force.

Although he is now involved in the arts, that was originally a "leisure place" arranged for him after he retired.

When he was young, he was seriously working on nuclear weapons.

I only started doing art when I got older.

He was also a master in the arts, no less so than in the nuclear weapons field. As a good friend of "Mr. Jiang," who gave a spirited speech at the Yellow River flood, he had unique insights into art.

Yang Wei really didn't know why Old Master Lu would pay attention to an actor.

"What, is it strange? Paying attention to young people in the industry isn't a given. In the US, there's even a state dedicated to arts and culture events. Who says arts and culture aren't important? Arts and culture are very important; they're like a 'nuclear bomb.' And this nuclear bomb has been stagnant for too long. We need this nuclear bomb, and we also need excellent actors."

"Um"

"We have a lot of projects here right now, and we need excellent young actors."

At this moment, Lu Zhengguang murmured.

"Our films like 'The Young Pioneers,' 'The Founding of a Republic,' and 'The Founding of a Party' all need excellent actors."

An excellent young actor.

Yang Wei felt that these were things he shouldn't be listening to.

But he knew one thing.

Mr. Lu was right; the arts and culture circle also needs its own "nuclear bomb."

This is especially true when foreign box office and cultural influences are vying for dominance in the domestic entertainment industry.

When Li Yun returned home.

During a brief moment of leisure amidst her busy schedule, Jiang Chenggang told her something.

Congratulations! Your portrayal of the Fire Cloud Evil God in "Kung Fu Hustle" has earned you a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

"oh."

"You've won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actor! One of the three major Chinese-language film awards! Aren't you excited? You've been nominated! You've been nominated!"

"It's not like we're winning an award, calm down," Li Yun said calmly. "Besides, it's not even a Best Actor nomination, just a Best Supporting Actor nomination."

Jiang Chenggang was stunned.

How old are you anyway?!

I'm thinking about the Best Actor award.

Given your resume, receiving a Best Supporting Actor nomination is already quite astonishing. What more could you ask for?

"I'm going to be a man of a thousand faces, a true movie star."

Li Yun squinted and smiled, "This is just a small step in the accumulation process."

"I think you can do it."

Jiang Chenggang used to think that...

Li Yun's dream is too far away.

But now.

He might

Yes!

It works!

"By the way, there's something I'd like to tell you."

"Um?"

"I participated in a program called 'Asian New Director' before, and I saw a really interesting script, so I decided to invest."

Asian New Star Guide Project?

Li Yun was stunned for a moment.

Then I saw above, and it was clearly "Crazy Stone".

The name Ning Hao.

"Jiang Chenggang".

"Um?"

"You're a fucking genius."

At this moment.

Li Yun looked at the words "Shengchang Culture" prominently displayed on the project proposal for "Crazy Stone".

Three million investment

Li Yun himself also has a role; as an investor, it's not unreasonable for him to play the villainous boss.

That guy, Jiang Chenggang.

His eye for talent was remarkably sharp; he recognized the potential of "Crazy Stone" even before Andy Lau.

A dark comedy featuring an ensemble cast.

If it weren't for the scheduling conflict with "Hey Society," Li Yun would have liked to act in it himself.

of course.

Ning Hao even personally visited Li Yun to express his gratitude. In this era, there are few talented individuals, and even fewer discerning mentors.

He was very grateful to Li Yun for giving him the dream of becoming a director.

Li Yun looked at Ning Hao in front of him.

So young.

Ning Hao at that time was still a greenhorn.

With that youthful face, trying to attract investment in the entertainment industry is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Therefore, he would be extremely grateful to Li Yun.

I am very grateful

"Well, just do your best to shoot, shoot with your own ideas, and pour out your talent. Don't worry about us." Li Yun generously gave this young director a lot of autonomy.

What a kind person!

Ning Hao could only sigh.

Li Yun is a really good person.

These days.

There are few investors.

Fewer people are willing to let them play freely.

"How many generals does our company have now?"

"Generals? Li Yang from 'Blind Shaft' and Ning Hao from 'Crazy Stone'. As for actors, there's Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Ze. What's wrong?" Jiang Chenggang also mentioned a few directors. Some of his films have even made a profit.

"It's okay, let me apologize first."

"Apologize?"

"I always thought you were blind."

"what?"

What Li Yun said was true.

Every time I audition, you always question me, thinking I can't get the role.

I'm so annoyed.

As it turns out, Jiang Chenggang may be a bit simple-minded, but his taste is really something else.

They do have their own unique understanding of the actors and the script.

Choosing scripts. Choosing actors.

Unconsciously

Has Shengchang Culture become a company in the entertainment industry known for its ability to "achieve big results with small investments"?

"If you can keep performing like this, you can keep questioning me." Li Yun looked at Jiang Chenggang very 'sincerely'.

Jiang Chenggang was unaware of this.

"Our 'Chinese Paladin' series is about to air!"

At this moment, Li Yun returned to his familiar home.

A clean dog, and a house that's been cleaned.

After turning on the computer...

This is news about Liu Qianqian.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy is about to air.

Simultaneous playback

There's also "The Lotus Lantern".

The production cycles for TV series are different. The production and editing cycle for "Lotus Lantern" was longer than that for "Chinese Paladin". It's unexpected that they would clash like this.

"The Lotus Lantern" was broadcast by the Sixth Princess.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a TV series produced by Shanghai TV.

Both target teenagers.

"This season's TV shows are like a battle of gods! There are adult shows like 'Bright Sword' and 'Emperor Wu of Han,' and teen shows like 'Lotus Lantern' and 'Chinese Paladin.'"

Personally, I think "The Emperor Wu of Han" is better than the other three.

At this moment, Zhang Dahuzi was at home following the developments of the TV series with great interest.

"When it comes to ratings, how can historical dramas possibly compete with those targeting teenagers?"

"Haha, let's talk about the subsequent impact and status now. From an actor's perspective, serious dramas are the top resources that actors pursue."

"I have nothing to say about that."

Serious dramas don't represent money.

It's not about status or prestige.

It's not about status.

Social status.

This is something very mysterious.

For example, Li Youbin from "Bright Sword" – he has a flower on his shoulder.

He enjoys the treatment of a major general. Isn't that much more impressive than actors in other dramas?

The main characters in serious dramas all have a rather extraordinary social status.

Compared to actors.

An absolutely transcendent status!

"However, both of these dramas are major productions that promote actors. Whether it's Hu Qu, you, or Shu Xiaochang from 'Lotus Lantern,' they are all the main stars being promoted." Zhang Dahuzi teased, looking at the now graceful Liu Qianqian. "You are also one of the main stars this time."

"How about trying some serious drama content? I think you should give it a shot."

Liu Qianqian is still growing, and compared to when she filmed "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", she looks much more mature now.

The transformation from a 'little girl' to a 'teenage girl'.

There seemed to be more emotion than just ignorance in those innocent eyes.

More agile and lively, and more thoughtful.

Liu Qianqian shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"I can't handle it. I know my own limitations."

Liu Qianqian rested her chin on her hand.

She still knows her own limitations. (Regarding serious drama resources...)

I don't think I'll be able to handle it right now.

Or.

The motivation that cannot be controlled.

She couldn't even find the motivation to act; it was just that her mother wanted her to be in the entertainment industry.

That's why she's in this industry.

It's just a matter of getting by.

That's all.

This time, Tangren Media has gone all out with the promotion and publicity for "Chinese Paladin". The main stars of this promotion are Liu Qianqian, Hu Qu, and Eddie Peng.

They are the ones who are being promoted the most this time.

At this moment, Liu Qianqian was thinking with a crooked mouth that it seemed she hadn't put in much effort in this episode of Chinese Paladin.

He was just playing himself.

But that's how they put themselves in the center of the publicity.

Zhang Da Huzi simply smiled at this.

Your resources and your looks deserve this publicity.

Absolutely worth it.

This time, the promotional strategy for the Legend of Sword and Fairy series focused entirely on these three young people.

This time, the Lotus Lantern also adopted a similar promotional strategy, focusing its publicity efforts entirely on Chenxiang, Dingxiang, and Xiaoyu.

The marketing campaign was specifically designed for young audiences.

Especially Shu Xiaochang, who has a face like that of a first love, is very good at understanding the thoughts of teenagers.

This year's Spring Festival TV programming season is truly a battle of titans.

The promotional campaign, a battle of titans, kicked off.

Zhang Da Huzi was naturally referring to Liu Qianqian, but Liu Qianqian, while resting her chin on her hand, was thinking about something else.

There's a character named Li Ge in the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

It seems there's a Brother Li in this Lotus Lantern.
