Chapter 489 Fixed Angle

"Zhu Xian" is halfway through its broadcast, and the time is approaching May.

The sun has a tendency to be hot, and the average temperature has stabilized at around 20 degrees.

It was still a bit cool in the morning, so after Chu Xuan put on a black shirt, he also wore a thin jacket to cope with the change in temperature.

As usual, he had a phone call with Liu Yifei and exchanged simple and warm greetings. After hanging up the phone, he stood in front of the mirror and straightened his clothes. Chu Xuan walked out the door.

When he was holding the door handle and about to turn it open, Chu Xuan turned his head and looked.

The quilt on the bed was still unfolded, and its scattered state revealed his habit of kicking the quilt while sleeping.

The clothes to be changed yesterday were still hanging on the back of the chair in front of the dressing table, and I did not enjoy the treatment of being baptized by the washing machine for the first time.

After just one glance, Chu Xuan opened the door with a "bang", closed the door and left, acting indifferent.

This is what Liu Yifei often said, the little bad habits in Chu Xuan's life.

Chu Xuan, on the other hand, said that by acting like this, he was just like thousands of men around the world, and there was nothing wrong with him.

When a woman is around, be perfect if you can.

When the woman is not around, I am the only one who dominates the sky and the earth.

Make it as simple as possible, and live as happily as possible.

Folding the quilt? It’s just a small thing. Don’t worry about it. No one is coming to the house anyway. Who can you show the quilt to after folding it?

Washing clothes? Wait until there are more clothes and then wash them together to save time, effort and water bills.

This is how rough most men are, and Chu Xuan is also in this category.

It's just that under his glamorous appearance, his flaws are not hidden, but Liu Yifei often brings it up and severely beats him: "Oh, men, if you leave women, you are just sloths."

At this time, Chu Xuan would respond gently: "I love you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei would always say "huh huh", with a mixture of anger and funny sweetness in her tone.

Then, there was no more, and the story ended.

You have your sharp words, and I have my three-character mantra.

This love affair, thousands of miles apart and across the Pacific Ocean, has been played out in many new ways by this young couple, which not only gives them a sense of freshness, but also gives them more care and love for each other.

The sun was very bright today. After getting in the car, Chu Xuan put out the baffle on the driver's seat to block the sunlight and avoid disturbing his sight.

I drove out, then turned left, and went to Sister Hua's house for breakfast as usual.

But Wang Jinhua walked towards him and waved to Chu Xuan in the driver's seat on the community road.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, not having breakfast at home? He didn't know why, turned the steering wheel in reverse gear, turned around, and stopped the car to wait.

"Bang." Wang Jinhua closed the car door, got into the passenger seat, and fastened her seat belt: "Ren Quan said that his store has a new product and he will bring us a breakfast to the company later."

"Brother Quan can do it, this business is booming." Chu Xuan understood, started the car, and walked to the company.

Ren Quan is very business-minded, and he opened a restaurant with his best friend Li Congchen a few years ago.

With the blessing of being a shareholder of Bright Times and receiving dividends from Micro Entertainment, in just a few years, the hotel has developed into a national chain and has its own catering company. Now Ren Quan is worth a lot.

Several hundred million.

As a self-made artist, Ren Quan is very successful.

"Ren Quan is really good at business." Wang Jinhua nodded in approval.

She glanced at the constant flow of vehicles outside the window, then turned to look at Chu Xuan: "But it's still a little worse than you."

Chu Xuan shook his head and did not answer.

"By the way, did you know that Xia Yu and Yuan Quan broke up?" Wang Jinhua changed the topic.

"Divided?" Chu Xuan was slightly surprised, then returned to normal and said: "The cold war has lasted for so long, and Sister Yuan still can't accept it."

The incident between Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan happened last year. Although Brilliant Times paid to keep the news from being revealed, Xia Yu thought about it and unilaterally disclosed his mistake to Yuan Quan.

Although Xia Yu had a good attitude, it was not a matter of whether his attitude was good or bad. As a woman, Yuan Quan was naturally angry, so she and Xia Yu separated and had a cold war for more than half a year.

I heard from Sister Hua that the two broke up. It is probably because Yuan Quan still couldn't accept this fact and chose to be alone.

"They will get back together." Wang Jinhua suddenly smiled.

"I think so too." Chu Xuan nodded slightly: "After all, the relationship has lasted for so many years. As long as Brother Yu insists on being shameless and Sister Yuan has a non-fighting temperament, there is no big problem for these two to get back together."

Wang Jinhua nodded. They are both her own artists and she naturally understands them best. As Chu Xuan said, these two people will probably get back together. It's just a matter of time.

She turned around but her eyes were a bit joking, watching Chu Xuan change the topic: "If this happens to you, do you think Sissi will forgive you?"

Chu Xuan was startled, he didn't expect Sister Hua to ask him such a question.

He tilted his head and looked at Sister Hua for a few times, then turned back to look at the road ahead and smiled slightly: "Sister, there is no need to ask this kind of question. If this can be forgiven, then she is not Liu Yifei."

"And there is also a female devil here. If this kind of thing really happens to me and hurts Sissi, I, the mother-in-law, may do something that violates the law. I'm scared just thinking about it."

"Hahaha..." Wang Jinhua couldn't help but laugh loudly. Thinking of Liu Xiaoli's love for Sissi, if Chu Xuan really did anything to feel sorry for Sissi, I'm afraid Liu Xiaoli would go crazy as Chu Xuan said.

What would a crazy mother do? No one can imagine it, but it is terrifying to think about it.

The siblings chatted all the way to the underground parking lot, took the elevator up, and soon arrived at the company.

But when he walked into the company, Xiao Shu, who had been promoted to secretary to the chairman, walked towards him, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"Sister Xiao, what's your expression?" Chu Xuan felt strange.

"Mr. Chu." Xiao Shu pursed his lips, and then said: "Can you revive Baguio?"

Baguio resurrected?...Chu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect this to happen.

After "Zhu Xian" experienced the climax of last night, before he even left the house in the morning, there was news about the ratings results.

It successfully broke through 7 and reached the point where the average price is 7.1, which is another level.

Last night's plot was also discussed enthusiastically by the audience, either commenting on the current plot, speculating on the subsequent plot, or venting their dissatisfaction on the Internet because the climax plot was a tragedy.

He checked the situation on Weibo in the morning, and after just one night, there were three more hot searches for the news about "Zhu Xian". This is not unpopular.

It didn't matter that the audience outside was emotional, but the people in the company were also emotional, which made him laugh.

"If Baguio is gone, wouldn't there still be Lu Xueqi?" Chu Xuan opened the door and walked into the chairman's office.

Wang Jinhua also knew about the popularity of "Zhu Xian", and as the chairman of the company, she was naturally very happy that the company's works had reached a higher level, and she followed Chu Xuan into the office.

Xiao Shu curled her lips, Lu Xueqi was not as fragrant as Baguio. Although she was the heroine, she had no emotional scenes with Zhang Xiaofan, so she had no expectations for Lu Xueqi while watching the drama.

Of course, there will definitely be scenes between Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi in the follow-up plot, but this hasn’t been aired yet.

The topic ended here, Xiao Shu poured a cup of tea for Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua each, and then returned to the small desk to start working.

There was a knock on the door. Xiao Shu, who had just sat down, was about to get up and open the door when he saw Ren Quan pushing the door open and entering.

"Mr. Ren." She shouted.

Ren Quan nodded, closed the door with his backhand, and walked toward the big desk with his breakfast.

When things got closer, Ren Quan raised a smile and put breakfast on the table: "Try it to see if it tastes like it."

Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua shared their meals, each taking some breakfast and placing it on the table in front of them.

"Brother Quan, are you going to act?" Chu Xuan was making breakfast in one hand and called Liu Yi on his mobile phone in the other.

Ren Quan moved a chair from the sofa and came to sit next to Chu Xuan.

"Aren't you afraid that I will suppress your performance?" He joked, crossing his legs and holding the back of his head with his hands.

"It doesn't matter whether it's pressed or not." Chu Xuan took a bite of the soup dumpling. The soup inside was rich and tasted very good. He couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious."

"It's really good." Wang Jinhua nodded and took a bite of the bun.

Ren Quan smiled: "Then I will have someone deliver it to you every day."

"It's not necessary." Wang Jinhua shook his head: "It's delicious, but you can't eat it every day."

At this moment, there was another knock on the door, and Liu Yi opened the door and walked in.

The two sides greeted each other, and Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua let Liu Yi try the new breakfast.

Liu Yi moved a chair and sat down next to Ren Quan, took a bun and took a bite. He nodded in praise and said to Chu Xuan: "Tell me what you think."

Liu Yi and Ren Quan are gathered here today because of Chu Xuan.

In other words, it is due to character issues in "Legend of Red Flame".

Because Liu Yifei needs to further her studies, "Legend of Red Flame" has entered the casting stage ahead of schedule.

But regarding the role of Mei Changsu, the teachers in the crew were a little worried.

In the script, Lin Shu is the male lead and Mei Changsu is the second male lead.

However, the structure of this version of the script happened to result in the male lead having fewer roles than the second male lead.

In this situation, judging from Chu Xuan's popularity and acting skills, if Mei Changsu were to be played by a young actor, Chu Xuan's popularity and acting skills might make him a transparent person, making Mei Changsu's role dim and insignificant.

Light.

If they were looking for a popular and capable actor to play the role, apart from Chu Xuan, they could only think of actors from the older generation.

But letting an older generation actor play Mei Changsu, which does not match the age set by Mei Changsu, may lead to a mismatch between the actor and the role.

In the previous film and television market, casting followed three laws: character suitability, performance level, and popularity.

In the current film and television market, due to the gradual change in the pursuit of traffic, the three laws of casting have changed their order: character suitability, popularity, and performance level.

But no matter how it changes, if a TV series wants to become a good show or even a classic, character suitability always ranks first.

If the actor does not match the role setting, it will be a flaw. No matter how good his acting skills are, it cannot make up for it. No matter how popular he is, he will only receive more abuse and complaints.

After much deliberation, the teachers of the production team classified Mei Changsu's casting into the category of young actors.

At least, the young actor's suitability for playing Mei Changsu is the highest.

Not to mention which young actor is the most suitable to play Mei Changsu, and will not be overpowered by Lin Shu played by Chu Xuan and make the audience ignore him.

Let’s just say that the teachers on the crew had this idea of ​​letting a young actor play Mei Changsu? This is contrary to Chu Xuan’s idea.

Liu Yi came to the office just to hear what Chu Xuan thought.

When he saw Ren Quan, he probably guessed the answer.

"The role of Mei Changsu cannot be played by a young actor." Chu Xuan finished eating the buns and took a sip of water.

Wang Jinhua and Liu Yi crossed their arms and looked at Chu Xuan, waiting for him to continue.

Chu Xuan put the thermos cup on the table, took out a document from the file shelf, opened it and read it: "Who is Mei Changsu? He has a high IQ, sits behind the scenes, strategizes, and wins thousands of miles away. This

It is the character template of the top counselors in ancient times."

Liu Yi nodded and continued listening.

Chu Xuan looked at him and said: "Brother Liu, do you think the audience will be disappointed if such a character is played by a young actor?"

Liu Yi adjusted his sitting posture and said: "I am also struggling with this problem. In similar dramas, "Detective Di Renjie", "The Criminal Officer of the Song Dynasty", and "Bao Qingtian", the protagonists are all with high IQs. It can be said that they are the same as Mei Changsu.

It's the same type of role, but the actors are all actors from the older generation."

"Under such circumstances, the audience will have preconceptions. For ancient high-IQ characters, the first impression will be on the older generation of actors."

"If young actors are allowed to play this kind of role, I'm afraid the audience will be disgusted, or they won't have a sense of empathy."

"Yes, you have the same idea as me." Chu Xuan nodded: "Like Di Renjie and Bao Zheng, with my popularity, even if I were to act in these two dramas, I would probably have to invest in them."

"In the current film and television market, for ancient high-IQ characters, the audience likes to watch actors from the older generation, which will make the audience more comfortable to watch."

"Otherwise, why would those production companies want older-generation actors to play these roles? Many young actors are more popular than these older-generation actors, so why don't they find younger actors to play them?"

Wang Jinhua sorted out the documents and said: "Now the film and television industry is developing rapidly, and the addition of the Korean Wave has driven the market to become more popular. Maybe in the future we will only look at popularity and not suitability, let alone acting skills, but we can't do that now."

Chu Xuan nodded and said: "In the future, some production companies will probably only recruit popular stars, regardless of whether they fit the role or not, and whether their acting skills are good or not. Anyway, what they make is fans' money, and what they make is quick money."

"But if we want to build a brand in our brilliant era, we can't do this. Popularity belongs to popularity, character suitability always comes first, and performance level is also a necessary element."

Wang Jinhua looked down at the document and nodded slightly in agreement with Chu Xuan's words.

Liu Yi also understood what Chu Xuan meant, glanced at Ren Quan, and said, "So you want Ren Quan to play Mei Changsu."

Chu Xuan pointed at Ren Quan: "Isn't this the living Mei Changsu? The jade-faced scholar has wise eyes, a chic temperament, and a sense of chivalry that attaches great importance to love and justice. Apart from being a little older, he has nothing else.

question."

A little older... Ren Quan originally enjoyed Chu Xuan's praise in the first half, but when he heard the last joke, he couldn't help but smile and reached out to pat Chu Xuan: "I'm very young, okay."

"Brother Quan must be young." Chu Xuan smiled and nodded, then looked at Liu Yi: "How about it? Break away from the limitations of the script and choose the role of Mei Changsu based on the market's perception. It has both suitability, popularity and acting skills.

, I think the only person suitable for Mei Changsu is Brother Quan."

"Ouch, you praise me so much, I feel a little swollen." Ren Quan stretched his muscles and looked very happy.

Liu Yi was cheerful, crossed his arms and looked at Chu Xuan: "Chu Xuan, I think you have made progress."

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yi curiously along with Wang Jinhua.

Liu Yi said: "I remember when you were casting for "Zhu Xian", you insisted on letting Huang Xuan play the male lead, and no one could persuade you. Although "Zhu Xian" is now popular, it is also your greatest contribution, but one code will lead to the other.

, we still think it’s wrong when you chose the actors in such a way that ignored the market.”

"Now that you are proposing to go beyond the limitations of the script and find actors in the market, I think you are already a qualified producer."

Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua looked at each other, and Chu Xuan said suddenly: "It was my first time to be a producer. I didn't think so much. I didn't think too much in this area. I just looked at the script. Fortunately, "Zhu Xian"

"My grades are pretty good now, otherwise I would be very embarrassed."

"Everyone is growing up." Wang Jinhua said with a smile, still remembering that she made a special trip to Mango TV for this matter, and chose to unconditionally support Chu Xuan's choice, which was to give Chu Xuan better room for progress.

.

Some things can only grow if you experience them.

No, the expansion of Chu Xuan's way of thinking and ideological pattern in the two years of experience is a great progress.

At least in terms of production, both he and Sissi have made great progress.

"Ren Quan, what do you mean?" Wang Jinhua asked.

"When will the filming take place?" Ren Quan looked at Chu Xuan.

"Around June or July." Chu Xuan said.

Ren Quan thought for a while, estimated whether he would be free, and nodded: "Okay, send me the script, and I'll take a look at it during this time."

Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yi. When Liu Yi saw that Ren Quan had agreed, he didn't say anything more.

"Okay, I'll send it to your email later."

Before that, Liu Yi was really worried about the casting of Mei Changsu. He had to have high popularity, image, temperament, acting skills and suitability. In the domestic market, there were almost no young actors who fit this role except Chu Xuan.

No.

Ren Quan is a shareholder of the company and was initially outside their scope of consideration.

Except that Ren Quan is a little older, he fits the role of Mei Changsu in every aspect.

Now that Ren Quan has agreed, the casting process has not only progressed further, but in their thinking, "Legend of Red Flame" may be able to form an all-star cast.
