Chapter 70 70. Audition invitation for "New Shanghai Beach"

"Wei Wu, my mother just called me and told me that there is a play that wants me to audition. Do you want me to go?"

After the first day of filming was over, Wei Wu was recording the shooting schedule for this week on his notebook. Liu Tianxian, who had just answered the phone and walked in, suddenly spoke.

Wei Wu put down his pen and became a little more interested:

"Really? Doesn't our mother-in-law just want you to act in movies, and isn't she willing to let you continue to accept TV series? What's going on this time?"

Of course Wei Wu hopes that she will accept the TV series. If she never accepts it, he will even consider making one himself.

But the problem is that to produce a TV series now, even a relatively cheap modern fashion drama, the production cost of a single episode is about 300,000.

Generally speaking, if you want to shoot 30 episodes, you have to prepare at least 10 million. He simply can't come up with that much money at once now.

In addition, if you are not famous, the purchase price of the TV station will usually be very low.

You must know that the purchase price of TV dramas is very low now, and the online copyright is not valuable. During this period, most TV dramas slowly recovered through multiple rounds of rebroadcasts.

After all, one drama has not yet been implemented with two stars, but 4+X is adopted, which means that a drama can be sold to 4 satellite TV stations and N local stations in the first round at the same time.

Therefore, there will often be a TV series that is broadcast by more than a dozen channels on one day. Then the competition between TV stations is not fierce at all, and naturally it cannot be sold at a high price.

Even if you turn on the TV now, you will find that many prime time channels are still airing dramas from last year and the year before last, and even non-prime time dramas from 2002 and even 2001 are still airing!

In addition, the purchasing directors of various TV stations now have great power. Generally speaking, they must find ways to cultivate connections in this area before filming TV series can make money.

But if you are a famous director yourself, then the situation will naturally be different. That's why Wei Wucai was not in a hurry to make a TV series, and planned to gain enough fame first.

Liu Tianxian spat at him and said, "You're not married yet. You're the mother-in-law, so who are you taking advantage of?"

Wei Wu smiled a little bit: "Don't I want to be more friendly? Besides, I want to fuck you all day long. It sounds like swearing!"

Liu Tianxian rolled his eyes at him and said nothing, then continued to introduce the situation:

"I guess the reason why my mother wanted me to try it this time is partly because the director is Gao Xixi, and it's also a remake of a popular drama."

Gao Xixi? A remake?

Wei Wu turned his head and immediately guessed which drama it was, and asked directly:

"New Shanghai Beach, right?"

Liu Tianxian snapped his fingers: "Bingdog! Congratulations on your guess."

Sure enough, it is "New Shanghai", no wonder Liu Xiaoli is attracted by it. Zhao Yazhi's version of "Shanghai" is so popular. It can be said that this drama became popular before it was filmed, and it has already attracted a lot of attention.

In addition, director Gao Xixi is not ordinary. Maybe he was not so well-known later, or many people only know that he filmed "New Three Kingdoms".

But in fact, at this time, he was already a well-known TV drama director in the industry, and he also filmed two popular dramas with quite good ratings.

One is "The Sky of History" starring Zhang Fengyi, and the other is "Happiness is Like a Flower" starring Deng Chao and Sun Li.

As for "New Shanghai", to be honest, the ratings are still good, ranking seventh among the top ten popular dramas in 2007.

The ones listed above are not simple either. From high to low they are "Golden Wedding", "Soldier Assault", "Family with Children", "Cooking Class Story 3", "Struggle" and "Love Is Parted".

It can be said that except for "Love Is Falling Apart" which is slightly less famous, the other dramas are basically worthy of being mentioned when taking stock of the development history of mainland TV dramas. "New Shanghai Beach" is really not unfair to lose to them. .

As for why the ratings of "Love and Parting" are so high, it is probably because our teacher Feng Yuanzheng played a psychopathic husband in this drama and reaped a lot of An Jiahe's bonuses.

Wei Wu thought for a while and said: "It's possible to go, but I don't think it's a good choice.

"After all, I heard that Director Gao Xixi already has his favorite heroine, and you will most likely have to accompany her."

The smile on Liu Tianxian's face suddenly disappeared: "Who is it?"

It's not that she wants this role that much, but now that she is a star, no matter who hears that she wants to accompany her, they still feel uncomfortable.

"Sun Li," Wei Wu stretched out two fingers and said:

"If nothing else, there are two conditions that you cannot compare to others.

"First, he is from Shanghai, where does the story of "Shanghai Bund" take place? He has a home advantage. He can speak Shanghainese, can you?

"Second, I have worked with Gao Xixi before. "Happiness is Like a Flower" has good ratings and Sun Li's performance is good, so Gao Xixi will naturally favor her in casting."

Although Gao Xixi chose Sun Li in her previous life because of the above two points. But to be honest, Feng Chengcheng is undoubtedly a failure in Sun Li's acting career.

Everyone knows that Huang Xiaoming received a lot of scolding because of Xu Wenqiang, but in fact, when the TV series first aired, a reporter conducted an audience satisfaction questionnaire.

Although Leader Huang's satisfaction is not high, it is about 62%, while Sun Li's satisfaction is not even 25%.

In other words, Sun Li was criticized less, not because she acted well.

It may be that Feng Chengcheng's presence was not as strong as Xu Wenqiang's; plus she was not outstanding enough, so the focus was never on her.

At that time, Sun Li was young and beautiful, and her acting skills were also very good. She was also the daughter of a wealthy family. She played Zhou Xiaobai very well, but she was not suitable for Feng Chengcheng.

Sun Li was criticized for having two main expressions in the play, one was a silly smile when she was happy, and the other was pouting all day when she was unhappy.

Most viewers thought that the Feng Chengcheng she portrayed was a little bit unable to support the thickness and depth of Shanghai at that time, and was slightly pale and superficial.

Although some settings were changed to accommodate her, her Feng Chengcheng was still too ordinary.

She was willful and capricious, not kind at all, and did not know how to think about others. She was like a rich lady who could appear anywhere, too stereotyped and not cute.

Even Fang Yanyun, who was positioned as a bad woman + mistress, was much more likable than her.

Liu Tianxian was a little distressed: "Then should I still go?"

Wei Wu did not express his opinion directly, but helped to analyze the pros and cons:

"It depends on you! Anyway, the current situation is like this. This drama has its own attention, and the ratings will definitely not be bad.

"But there are pros and cons, because the previous work is so successful, plus the filter halo, it is basically impossible for you to surpass Zhao Yazhi.

"But as long as you take this role, it will inevitably be compared by the audience after it is broadcast, so you have to be mentally prepared for this."

If it was asked before Liu Tianxian added the points, Wei Wu would definitely ask her to refuse without thinking.

Because this is purely a thankless task. Although the popularity and ratings of this drama are still good, it is mostly more disadvantageous than beneficial to her personally.

With Zhao Yazhi as a pearl, she can't surpass it no matter how she plays.

But on second thought, Liu Tianxian has acted in more than one or two remakes, so it seems unnecessary to care too much about this. After all, aren't "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" both remakes of classics?

Although she is destined to not surpass Zhao Yazhi, it is no problem to get the title of "the most beautiful Feng Chengcheng".

After all, even if Zhao Yazhi is overestimated, her charm at her peak could not exceed 90, and Liu Tianxian is already 93 now!

In addition, Liu Tianxian's acting skills have also increased by 11 points, and now it is 67, and she may not be satisfactory in other roles.

But Feng Chengcheng, a lady of a noble family, has not run out of her comfort zone, so her current acting skills are basically enough.

Anyway, if the current version of Liu Tianxian is replaced, it is basically impossible to surpass Zhao Yazhi. But in the worst case, it should be slightly better than Sun Li!

"So should I accept it or not?"

Wei Wu spread his hands and said, "The problem now is not whether you accept it or not, but whether you can be selected.

"How about this, you go for the audition, and if you are not selected, forget it. If you are really selected, it's not too late for you to worry about it at that time."

Liu Tianxian hesitated for a while and said, "Okay then. ”

At this time, the system prompted that a new task could be issued, but Wei Wu refused after a little thought.

Because even he was not sure whether this matter was good or bad, so he should not interfere with her!

Although Wei Wu felt that her PK Sun Lisheng was unlikely, if she was really selected, it would be God's will, and it would not be too late to issue the task then.
