Chapter 338 "The Pretender" has many competitors(1/2)
Chapter 338 "The Pretender" is finished, with many competitors
One week after "The Pretender" started shooting, Lin Yingxue joined the set on time according to the shooting plan.
She takes this drama very seriously and puts on makeup an hour in advance before filming every day.
However, the first time she applied makeup was done by her own makeup artist, and it was too thick.
Fang Xing asked the makeup artist on the set to wash off all her makeup and only put on a little light makeup.
The reason for this is that the "Cheng Jinyun" she plays is an official member of the underground party. Her image must be natural and decent, and heavy makeup is not suitable.
Lin Yingxue's first scene was to stun a Japanese spy to steal information.
Regarding the "Cheng Jinyun" scene, Fang Xing made some changes and discussed it with Zhang Yigao during the period, so the final script was somewhat different from the original version of "The Pretender".
In the original version of "The Pretender", the character "Cheng Jinyun" was not very likable.
Many viewers even think that she is very unprofessional as an underground gangster, and sometimes she is too virginal. She often causes setbacks in missions due to some virginal behaviors, and even indirectly harms her companions.
It is also for this reason that in the original version of "The Pretender", almost every actor who played an important role became popular, but the actor who played "Cheng Jinyun" was not popular.
Therefore, the character and plot of the character "Cheng Jinyun" are indeed problematic.
Ruide Film and Television hired a TV star to lead Xiao Lunsheng. They were determined to promote Xiao Lunsheng from a popular star to a powerful one.
[The actors in "The Pretender" don't know where they came from. Apart from Fang Xing himself, Lin Yingxue is somewhat famous. Looking at the trailer, Lin Yingxue doesn't have many scenes. 】
After the first trailer of "Unsung Heroes" was released, we had frequent contacts with Kyoto TV, Donghai TV, and Jiangnan TV, and we should be negotiating for the star.
The time has come to the end of March.
However, the TV station's work style is relatively calm. They do not take action before seeing the finished film. They prepare to review the film after it is released, and then decide whether to purchase the film.
However, Red Film and Television did not lose money on this project.
Older TV viewers actually don't dislike top celebrities because they don't pay attention to the fandom, and they won't lose their favor because of the craziness of the fandom.
Therefore, the market for spy dramas is huge this year.
After all, at his level, he is very cautious when choosing scripts, as it would be bad if the show fails.
…
In addition to mainland TV stations, Xiangjiang's Jade Channel is also in contact.
However, not all of Xiao Lunsheng's dramas are hits, and there are also dramas that do not perform well.
Period dramas, family ethics dramas, and spy dramas.
Since "Rock Detective 1" gained a good reputation, Tianlong Film and Television has successfully created a movie series.
Therefore, the overall performance level of the actors is above the standard.
Xiao Lunsheng also needs a drama with mainstream values to expand the national consciousness.
The scene had just been completed and was still in the late stages of production. Major TV stations and video platforms took the initiative to seek cooperation.
The greatest expression of nationality is actually not the netizens who frequently go online and interact with people online on platforms such as Weibo and Tieba, but older TV viewers.
Since this year marks the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War, each major TV station also has the task of broadcasting at least one TV series with related themes during prime time.
For the casting of "The Pretender" this time, Fang Xing chose based on acting skills and image, and did not accept any actors who brought money to join the cast.
If the original voice of an individual actor is not suitable, another dubbing actor will be hired.
The production of "Unsung Heroes" this time is a tribute to the 75th anniversary of the victory of the motherland's anti-aggression war, so this drama was produced.
…
This year, there are seven or eight spy dramas invested in A-level and above, and there are countless B-level and C-level ones.
Also because Tianlong Film and Television spans the two fields of movies and TV series, when Tianlong Film and Television shoots TV series, it will reflect the texture of some movie levels.
Even if ordinary film and television companies are willing to give money, Wu Zhikang may not be willing to act.
Fang Xing has always had a good relationship with Jade Channel deputy director Wang Yulin, so "The Pretender" may also be broadcast on Jade Channel.
Xiao fans' evaluation of "The Invisible Spy" is basically that it is handsome, the acting is explosive, and it is a must-see.
Subsequently, fans of the three spy dramas "Unsung Heroes", "Invisible Spy" and "The Pretender" started arguing about which one was a bad movie and which one would become a hit.
Fans rent outdoor billboards for him to celebrate his birthday, which happens every year.
Because the cast is really strong.
The post-production of "The Pretender" is also nearing completion.
Last year's "Pillow Crime" with two male protagonists had a very average reputation in the eyes of passers-by and the number of views was also average.
Fang Xing made minor changes to make this underground party member who conducts intelligence work more professional, and deleted some plot points that made him look a bit stupid.
However, Penguin Video only has priority. If other video platforms offer higher prices, "The Pretender" can usually be broadcast on other platforms.
The easiest plan to succeed, the first step is to rely on TV series with main themes, and the most direct and effective way is to star in spy war dramas.
Therefore, as soon as the trailer of "The Pretender" comes out, Weibo usually floods the screen.
It's mid-April.
After that, Xiao Lunsheng acted in several idol dramas, including Ancient Puppets, and then appeared as a resident guest on an ace variety show on Jiangnan Satellite TV.
Late April.
Ruide Film and Television’s fandom management system is very mature, so Xiao Lunsheng’s online fans are very crazy.
Nowadays, the TV series produced by Ark Culture have become the focus of the TV industry.
Tianlong Film and Television is a company that spans the two fields of television and film, so the company is very strong.
Because Wu Zhikang's popularity is too high, even though Xiao Lunsheng has the most roles, Wu Zhikang is still placed in the first position during promotion.
This year happens to be the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War, and all major film and television companies are producing spy dramas.
In fact.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War.
In fact.
If a celebrity is known by his fans, it does not mean he has high national popularity, but if all the aunties selling breakfast on the roadside know him, then he will truly have high national popularity.
Ruide Film and Television spent money to hire Jinpeng TV star Wu Zhikang to star with Xiao Lunsheng.
The cast of "Invisible Spy" is like a standard answer for a successful spy drama.
…
In the drama, the two play partners in intelligence work behind enemy lines.
However, it is actually easy for traffic stars to become obsolete, and there are endless young talents behind them. If they don’t make some changes, they will be photographed to death on the beach sooner or later when they become old talents.
However, Jade Channel has never been a key broadcasting station. If it is not a simulcast, it will most likely be a follow-up broadcast. Exclusive broadcast is impossible.
What is missing most?
It is the favor of passers-by and the friendship with the people.
The three spy dramas "Unsung Heroes", "Invisible Spy" and "The Pretender" are all S-level investments.
Xiao Lunsheng is a top-notch young actor praised by Red Films. He debuted in a web drama with two male protagonists.
Relatively speaking, nationality is relatively easy to improve.
However, other dramas are all produced with small investment and the cast has no bright spots, so they don’t get much attention.
Xiao Lunsheng has been popular in the TV industry for several years, and his previous roles were basically idol dramas.
[How about taking a look at the cast? "Invisible Spy" stars Jin Peng Shidi, two male leads, and Lun Sheng to support his good looks. It will be a hit!]
It is also because this year marks the 75th anniversary of the Anti-Aggression War, and higher-level departments have taken the lead to encourage the filming of more TV series with related themes.
Among them, spy dramas are the easiest genre for traffic stars to get their hands on.
Although he is a top player, his popularity is still very high.
He also appeared on the big screen last year.
"Invisible Spy" received additional investment at a later stage, increasing the amount to 130 million.
Behind Red Film and Television, there are Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital, as well as Xiao Lunsheng’s fan base. After the trailer of this drama was released, it swept the Weibo screen for several days.
Older TV viewers mainly watch a few types of TV series.
There have been successful cases of the same type of transformation.
[Everyone is also discussing "Unsung Heroes", and the picture quality is completely at the level of a movie.]
It's April, the rainy season, and the air is filled with a fresh earthy smell.
Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital, the companies behind Red Film and Television, have relatively wide network resources. Through personal relationships, they hired Jin Peng to star in "Invisible Spy" with a salary of 30 million.
In order to be broadcast in the summer, it needs to be preheated in May.
Ark Culture has already accumulated many fans thanks to its two popular TV series.
