Huanyue announced the news to the media.

The news is not sudden. Some people have speculated a long time ago that Huanyue will create a drama tailor-made for Luo Xun. After all, most major male leads in major productions are pre-determined. If Luo Xun can't find a suitable one, The book can only be auctioned by the company.

"Finally we have to carry the weight."

"According to his reputation and status in the circle, he should have taken the leading role in the last film. However, taking the leading role for the first time is a very dangerous thing for an actor. If the film fails, no one will blame him. As for the screenwriter and director, the blame is basically placed on the male protagonist.”

"It's more than that."

"If this drama fails, Luo Xun will be in a trough for a long time. The value of an actor like him is most likely to rise and fall. At that time, whether he can even continue to cooperate with Armani will be a question. For For this kind of first-line brand, when the stars start to fade away, they can start to choose new partners. "

"It's a lot of pressure."

"There is nothing we can do about it. He always excels in supporting roles. Under such circumstances, everyone is naturally looking forward to how he will perform when he takes on the leading role for the first time. In the entertainment industry, it is too high. The expectations are actually a double-edged sword. If Luo Xun meets their expectations, he will naturally make further progress, but once he fails, no matter how high he was once praised, he may fall down hard. "

"..."

Just heard the news.

The circle started the first round of discussion.

And after they learned that Luo Xun's new drama "Blood Romance" turned out to be a serious drama, many senior people in the industry were stunned for a moment, and then smiled knowingly——

"Drama."

"Stable enough."

"Participating in a major drama basically means that you only focus on word-of-mouth and not ratings. Luo Xun's choice is not bad. It is the safest of all choices. After all, considering his acting skills, if he participates in a major drama, as long as he maintains his acting skills That’s no problem, and Huanyue was smart enough to ask Sun Li to play the leading female role. Two young acting talents met together..."

"Avoiding public expectations."

"Both Luo Xun and Sun Li should have the same idea. The former took the leading role for the first time and attracted too many people's attention, while the latter's debut work was too dazzling, so he could only choose a drama to avoid the limelight. This is The art of choosing roles for actors in the entertainment industry.”

"..."

This is the insider's view.

In contrast, Luo Xun's fans don't care whether it's a serious drama or not. As soon as the news came out, Luo Xun's post bar became lively, and many people posted to express their inner expectations:

"Luo Xun is going to play the male lead!"

"I'll watch whatever Luo Xun shoots!"

"This "Blood Romance" seems to be adapted from a novel. I plan to go to the bookstore today to see if it is available for sale. I will try it out in advance and the male protagonist will automatically take on the role of Luo Xun."

"Great idea upstairs."

"Has anyone read the novel?"

"I have read "Blood Romance". It is a very exciting novel. Zhong Yuemin is a very interesting character. I am looking forward to how Luo Xun will portray this character!"

"..."

Luo Xun ignored the outside voices. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to preparing for the role. He read books every day and chatted with the old people in Yanjing in his spare time. He was enjoying himself.

It takes two months for the crew to prepare.

Two months is enough time for Du Liang to complete the script creation. After all, the story is ready-made, and Du Liang only needs to consider some plot adjustments——

In fact.

Anyone who has actually watched "Blood Romance" knows that although it is a serious drama, it also has a very high storytelling quality. If you analyze the plot, you will find that this drama has a certain sense of satisfaction.

The feeling of coolness is actually the magic weapon for many TV series.

Take the act of showing off and slapping people in the face as an example. Many people think that showing off and slapping people in the face started with Qidian.com, but this is not the case. There have long been screenwriters of TV series who have understood the essence of it. For example, take the TV series "Kangxi Incognito" "Private Interview" is an example. This is a classic drama that became popular due to its pretense and slap in the face!

In this drama.

The villain kept provoking Kangxi, and Kangxi pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger. Every time in desperate situations, he would reveal his identity as emperor and scare the hell out of the villain.

Occasionally the scene will escalate.

The villain wanted to fight hard, but the minister Yu Shilong came to the rescue with countless officers and soldiers. With the atmospheric music, it directly aroused the emotions of the audience.

at the same time.

The girls who got along with Kangxi during this period showed shocked expressions. Not only the girls, but also everyone who had contact with Kangxi during this period would be shocked...

Let’s talk about “Blood Romance”.

The thrill of this drama is that the protagonist is a diehard in the capital, born in a courtyard, always surrounded by a bunch of brothers, flirting with Bai Fumei, and Bai Fumei fell in love with him for the rest of his life. Later, when he went out to work as an educated youth and joined the team, he met Qin Ling, an extremely This special beauty actually took all of her blood.

Not to mention.

After he became a company executive, he had a distinguished status and was always surrounded by different girls. Gao Yue, a beauty he met when he was just starting his major, was chasing him crazily.

Doesn’t it feel like déjà vu?

Yes, it is a bit like Dian Niang's harem story, and this kind of story has been popular for a long time. The connotation of "Blood Romance" combined with such a story naturally greatly improves its watchability, which is also one of the reasons why this drama was so popular in the previous life.

Very vulgar.

But it is also true.

Not to mention that the protagonist can pretend to be slapped in the face when he is in prison, and the black boss in the prison is convinced...

In addition.

Ning Wei, the king of killers, many policemen can't do anything to him, but the only person Ning Wei respects is the protagonist. When he was in the army, no one could control him. He suppressed a battalion alone, but as long as the protagonist said a word, he immediately became timid...

If this is not a cool story, what is it?

So, if a TV series wants to be popular, it still has to be watchable, and coolness is also one of the important elements of watchability. If the "cool" plot can be done well, then it is natural for the TV series to be popular.

However...

This also means that Luo Xun must perform the charm of Zhong Yuemin, otherwise all these plots will lose their persuasiveness, and the audience will think, why are you a famous figure in the stubborn? Why is Ning Wei so virtual? Why do so many outstanding girls like you? Why does the whole world revolve around you?
