On the night when the remaining characters of "Xuanyuan Sword" were decided, Xu Yang obtained Tangren's resource library.

Tangren will soon be the largest investor, so it’s okay to check the resource library earlier, right?

But after searching all night, Xu Yang couldn't find any Kurdish actors who fit the shoes of "Xiao Xue". Most of them were not even as good as Gulinaza.

Is it because the 90 flowers are too bad or the whole environment is too bad? Xu Yang thought about this question for a long time.

The next day, Xu Yang came to Cai Yinong's office with his chosen candidate, and the two analyzed it carefully again.

Cai Yinong has always been a little worried about Xu Yang not using Guli Nazha, and even doesn't understand it.

In her opinion, if she chooses Guli Nazha and then signs a contract, she will be her own person, what's wrong with that?

It's just that Cai Yinong ignored one problem, that is, she still wanted to use the character configuration of the first version to compete with "Xuanyuan Sword", but after Xu Yang came in, the plot would definitely have to be changed significantly.

"Xuanyuan Sword" actually seems to be passable now, but if you watch it back then, it would be a bit awkward.

Two front-line players and one quasi-first-line team supported two newcomers, and as a result, one was promoted to an East Asian powerhouse, and the other was a direct idle fish.

And this drama is also a watershed for Tangren Film and Television. Faced with the choice between the market and the premium route, Tangren chose to compromise.

Then both ends were unpopular, which led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

But in Xu Yang's view through the eyes of later generations, quality is actually the most suitable and only way out for Tang Dynasty.

If a small workshop chooses to be high-quality, it is a helpless move; if it chooses the market's assembly line model, it is to follow the trend.

But if the Tang people choose the assembly line model, they will destroy the Great Wall. Choosing high-quality products is the way to maximize their own advantages.

First of all, it is the reputation of Tang Dynasty for more than ten years. It is not just a lie that all the Tang Dynasty products produced at that time were high-quality.

What’s more, no matter what a small workshop does, it will eventually lead to a dead end, while companies larger than Tangren, such as Huayi, will maximize their profits through assembly lines.

They have huge resources and a large number of artists, which the Tang people do not have.

But compared with those big companies, Tangren is not without its advantages. First of all, Tangren itself has excellent quality.

Another thing is that the artists in the Tang Dynasty have few artists and not many resources, but because of this, the Tang talents can easily mobilize them.

Integrate all resources, artists, and power into one place, and then strike hard.

It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them.

The marketization of Tang Dynasty is tantamount to spreading resources, making the already few resources seem more and more stretched.

And excellence means concentrating all efforts on doing big things, just like in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the excellence of Tang Dynasty is its only way out.

So in the end Xu Yang took out the list he had prepared. These were the "Xiaoxue" candidates he had selected last night.

"Jiang Xin, Zhang Jianing, Tan Songyun, the Vice Minister's wife, are you serious about these people?"

Looking at the names of these four people, Cai Yinong looked strange. Except for Jiang Xin and the Vice Minister's wife, she had heard of them, and there were two others. Who were they?

"It's hard for any newcomer to be able to control the role of Xiaoxue. Even if there is someone, do you think he can be better than Liu Tianxian?"

Cai Yinong's expression turned serious. How could Liu Tianxian be able to compete with him?

"After this drama is aired, people who are also descendants of Nuwa will definitely be compared. Liu Tianxian's Ling'er is something that few people in the entire entertainment industry can compare to."

"So unless we find a new person like Liu Tianxian, we have to use the old person, and these are the alternatives I selected."

What Xu Yang said was convincing, and Cai Yinong also understood his thoughts, but she still wanted to fight for it.

"Is Nazha really not good?"

Sighing, Xu Yang said: "It really doesn't work. I can conclude that if she plays Xiaoxue, she will be the one who gets scolded the most when this drama is aired."

After being silent for several years, Cai Yinong said: "Then who do you think among these people is the most suitable for this role?"

This time, Xu Yang was in a dilemma. If he could really choose, the list he presented now would not be a list of four people.

"Jiang Xin or Madam Shilang, the other two, to be honest, I have only heard from friends that they are okay, but I don't know how they look in costume."

"Although Jiang Xin and the Vice Minister's wife each have their own advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that they both have experience in ancient costumes and look good."

This is true. Ancient puppet drama is also a costume drama, and the requirements for the actors' costumes are extremely high.

Good ones like Liu Tianxian, Hu Ge, Liu Shishi and others were born for costumes.

He is as bad as a little yellow duck. On the big screen, the emotional scenes are indeed performed very penetratingly, but on the small screen, the overall temperament is completely different.

So whether a costume drama is good or not depends on how the actors look.

The appearance of actors in good costume dramas is definitely not much different, but the appearance of actors in bad costume dramas is definitely not much better.

After Xu Yang gave his reasons, Cai Yinong was also thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of these four people.

"Let's do this. I'll call Li Guoli over. You go get two photos of those two people and show him. His eyes are much more vicious than mine."

Xu Yang has no doubt about this. He got the role of Xu Changqing because Li Guoli thought that his costume appearance was better than that of Huo Jianhua.

"Mrs. Shilang and Jiang Xin, please first talk about their strengths and weaknesses."

Xu Yang nodded and said: "First of all, Jiang Xin, her acting skills are definitely better than the others, and we have also worked with her, so we have a good relationship."

"What's a bit regretful is that she is too plump. I'm afraid it will look uncoordinated when the time comes."

"And the figure is the advantage of the Madame of the Chamberlain. Her appearance in ancient costumes is also outstanding, and her fame is just right."

"It's just that I don't know if she can hold up the role of Xiaoxue. If she plays the role well, she might be as good as Tang Yan. If she plays the role poorly, she will just be like a vase background."

"Seriously, it would be great if there was an actor who could combine the best of both worlds!"

Cai Yinong was almost moved by these words, and at the same time, he also sighed in his heart like Xu Yang hoped.

It would be great if someone could really combine the best of both of them!

At this time, Li Guoli, who had been notified previously, also came to Cai Yinong's office. After he saw the photos of Zhang Jianing and Tan Songyun, he also gave them accurate replies.

"Both of them are not suitable for costumes. They can act, but they are definitely not as amazing as the acting students!"

Xu Yang smiled bitterly inwardly when he heard this. Sure enough, Jiang is still the hot one. These two are indeed famous for playing students.

There is no sense of incongruity in playing the role of a middle school student in his thirties!

"In this case, let's decide whether Xiaoxue is the servant's wife or Jiang Xin, and then hurry up and send them an invitation."

The three of them discussed for a while, and finally it was Cai Yinong who made the decision to choose the Vice Minister's wife.

Compared to Jiang Xin, the image of the Vice Minister's wife is more in line with the role of Xiaoxue.

After deciding on all the main characters of "Xuanyuan Sword", a big stone fell in the hearts of several people.

After all, this drama is not only the last drama of the Old Tang Dynasty, but also the first drama of the New Tang Dynasty.

Everyone wants to make this show as perfect as they can.

But now by chance, Li Guoli has arrived, so Xu Yang decided to tell him about "Xuanyuan Sword".

"Director Li, I think the script can be revised a little more."

After saying that, he looked at Cai Yinong again, indicating that the matter could be discussed, right?

Cai Yinong nodded. This was originally brought by Xu Yang, and he has the right to decide how to use it.

"Ten years ago, we had an inseparable fight with a company. Both of us produced many well-known TV series in the field of costume TV series."

"But ten years later, one family fell apart and ceased to exist. However, everything came back to life in one fell swoop. I think his legacy will be a good complement to the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Guoli still frowned at first, but after hearing what Xu Yang said, he understood a little bit.

"You mean Zhou Yi, right? What did you get from him?"

Xu Yang smiled, "Nature is their core thing."

When Li Guoli heard what Xu Yang said, he thought hard in his mind, but he couldn't think of it for a moment.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through him, and he said excitedly: "Could it be their screenwriting department?"

Under Li Guoli's gaze, Xu Yang nodded slowly and said, "Yes, when Zhou Yi's incident happened last year, I asked someone to keep the seeds of their screenwriting department."

This made Li Guoli extremely excited. As we all know, their Tang Dynasty style of service and the plot of Zhouyi were one of the benchmarks for costume dramas of that era.

And now that Xu Yang has preserved their screenwriting department, not to mention all of them, even just one or two people are definitely a big surprise for Tang people.

"In addition to these senior screenwriter apprentices from Zhouyi Film and Television, there are also some filming and post-production staff, but most of them are also apprentices."

But at this time, Li Guoli was already a little confused. Apprentice?

When Xu Yang saw this, he explained, "Last year, Zhou Yi collapsed and a lot of people were waiting to divide its legacy. Those senior screenwriters were definitely not in my turn to take over. Only those young people who were just starting out could think highly of me."

This is true, but most of the enthusiasm in Li Guoli's heart has disappeared. Without him, none of the ten apprentices would be useful as a formal screenwriter.

But this was Xu Yang's wish after all, and he couldn't refuse it.

"That's okay, let them come over and report as soon as possible."

Xu Yang nodded, "It should be like this. I also mentioned this when discussing with Sister K yesterday. They will report to Tangren in a few days. Remember to accept it then."

Li Guoli saw that Xu Yang knew enough not to say anything more on this topic, so he asked Xu Yang what was wrong with the script of "Xuanyuan Sword".

"There was nothing wrong with the script originally, but I heard that Sister K initially requested that Chen Jingchou and Xiaoxue be given to the two newcomers. Now that the plan has changed, the script will naturally have to be changed."

Upon hearing this, Li Guoli did not immediately agree to Xu Yang, but looked at Cai Yinong.

In his mind, even if Xu Yang will soon become the largest shareholder of Tangren, the only person he can negotiate with in terms of film and television production is Cai Yinong.

Seeing Li Guoli looking at it, Cai Yinong sighed and said: "Do as he said. My original intention is to support two newcomers and enrich the company's reserves."

"But he said that there is no rush to sign new people now and that we should handle the internal affairs of the company first. I think what he said makes sense."

"There will definitely be a round of turmoil after the company's financing. Is it really appropriate to add new people to expand conflicts?"

Cai Yinong has made it very clear that she agrees with Xu Yang's approach, but she doesn't really want to.

At this time, Xu Yang said: "After the company raises funds, we must have a hit movie every year to gain a foothold, otherwise we will have a very difficult time later."

"And if you want "Xuanyuan Sword" to become an annual hit, the original plot is not enough. Now the plot must at least reach Bu Bu's level."

What Xu Yang said made Li Guoli smile bitterly. The level of "Step by Step" is not easy.

However, this also aroused his fighting spirit. At this time, he was already over 50 years old. If nothing else happened, it would be difficult for him to go to the front line for filming in another five or six years.

Therefore, every subsequent drama may be his final work, and there is no room for him to not be careful.

Isn’t it just another Fairy Sword? It’s not like it hasn’t been filmed before!

"Okay, I probably understand your request. It's just that the shooting date will have to be postponed. Is the company waiting for it?"

Xu Yang and Cai Yinong looked at each other, and Cai Yinong said: "It just takes time to reorganize the company."

Xu Yang understood the idea and said to the two of them: "The financing process can be started today. All the materials and everything will be ready in the next two days."

Cai Yinong nodded and said: "According to what you said, after the financing, except for the capital city and the capital city, all branches in other cities will be cancelled."

"The Magic City side is responsible for film and television production and promotion, while the Beijing side is the artist department, which is responsible for the agency business of the entire company's artists and the discovery of new talents."

After that, the Tang Dynasty sent an invitation to the wife of the minister who was still in the capital, inviting her to play the role of Xiaoxue.

At this time, the chambermaid's wife was not as famous as she would be in later generations. She appeared in popular dramas for two consecutive years but failed to make her popular.

Last year's "The Stranger" collaborated with Tang Dynasty, playing the role of Xu Yang's late wife, and the response was mediocre.

Nian Suyan, who starred in "Gong Lock Heart Jade" this year, although the whole drama is extremely popular and is currently ranked third in this year's ratings, she still hasn't gotten involved.

So after receiving the invitation from Tang Ren, she was already a little hesitant.

Every year she played a supporting role, she always failed to make any noise, so she wanted to try other methods.

Moreover, her boyfriend Chen Sicheng also suggested that she not to appear in the show. According to the information he received, Xiaoxue's ranking in this drama can only be fifth.

Although he is said to be the protagonist, he is actually a supporting character, even the kind of supporting character who has no characteristics at all.

He himself grabs a lot of roles like this and gives them to his girlfriend, so why bother looking at other people’s faces?

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Sicheng said that "Gong Lock Heart Jade" was so popular that it didn't impress you, so you should just make a movie with him honestly.

In the end, it was Chen Sicheng's promise of a big screen that impressed the waiter's wife, but within half a day she clearly rejected Tang Ren's invitation.
