Zhang Jizhong visibly swelled.
The story lines of Li Mochou and Guo Xiang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are very attractive, and many people will buy them if taken alone.
But apart from these two female characters, the other female characters are just average in their appeal.
Guo Fu's popularity is not lower than that of Li Mochou and Guo Xiang, but her character is so annoying that it is difficult to attract popular actresses.
It is even more impossible to pull Guo Fu out to work on an independent project.
Miracle Company is there to make money, not charity.
Li Mochou's whitewashing is not a big problem. Even though Li Mochou did all the bad things in the original novel, there are still many people who like her. As long as the villain is evil-minded, he will automatically attract a group of readers and viewers. If you find a beautiful female star to play the role, your appearance will be taken away by your facial features.
Needless to say, Guo Xiang’s character attracts more fans than Xiao Longnu to some extent. If they are singled out to work on projects, Guo Xiang, Yang Guo, Zhang Sanfeng, or even the entanglement with He Zudao can make a big drama.
Not to mention the story lines such as Guo Xiang establishing the Emei Sect.
Find a reliable screenwriter and director, and add a popular actress, and there is a high probability of making money.
Guo Fu is not good. She doesn't do as many bad things as Li Mochou, but her popularity with the audience is really poor.
Especially when there is Guo Xiang for comparison.
They are both the daughters of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and the gap is too big. Guo Jing and Huang Rong's party will only favor Guo Xiang, and it is difficult to like Guo Fu.
"In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", except for Xiao Longnu, Li Mochou and Guo Xiang, the other female characters are not very attractive, and our company has no idea of in-depth development of other characters for the time being. But in the light of Director Zhang, your You can give it a try with your connections, you still have a lot of face.”
Hearing what Yue Guan said, Zhang Jizhong calmed down.
He thought about the other female characters in the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang, and Yeluyan really didn't have much characteristics.
Of course, there are readers who feel sorry for them, but the number is too small and it is difficult to support the basic base.
Popular female stars are unlikely to be attracted to such female roles.
As for Huang Rong, she is already the mother of several children in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the image of Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has changed a lot compared to the Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". In fact, it's not outstanding.
Such roles are not very attractive to female stars.
"It's a pity, it's a pity." Zhang Jizhong shook his head.
"Let's choose the remaining female roles based on their looks and acting skills." Yue Guan suggested.
Zhang Jizhong glanced at Yue Guan and proactively suggested: "I will inform you during the audition and you will also be a judge."
Yue Guan felt that Zhang Jizhong's words seemed to be implying something.
He coughed lightly: "Director Zhang, I have no interest in those crooked ways. In fact, I am a clean and self-sufficient person."
"I understand, I understand, young people, it's better to keep your integrity." Zhang Jizhong laughed: "Anyway, there are many excuses for rejection. For the sake of the crew, it is natural for you, the original author, to be a judge."
You know shit.
Yue Guan felt that his character had been questioned.
Is he the kind of person who would open the back door to a beautiful female star
Having said that, if the first version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" does not go well, it will affect "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" and "The Swordsman" later on.
For this reason, Yue Guan really needs to pay more attention. After all, he is planning to develop the "Qian Jing" of these three books in depth.
So he reluctantly agreed.
"Then I'll wait for the notice from Director Zhang."
Zhang Jizhong laughed again. He was very satisfied with his performance today.
With his status in the industry, there is actually no need to be so polite to Yue Guan.
But in addition to being an actor, Yue Guan is also a writer, which puts Yue Guan directly at the upstream of the industry chain.
Zhang Jizhong is not afraid of Yue Guan, but as long as he has a good relationship with Yue Guan, it will be of huge benefit to him. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be followed by "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" and "Swordsman".
Therefore, it is natural for him to make good friends with Yue Guan and release his goodwill.
Yue Guan's performance also made him very happy, because Yue Guan is not the kind of young man with high aspirations, and he did not resist the adaptation of his novel, and the suggestions he made even helped him reduce risks.
Returning favors in return is the relationship between himself and Yue Guan in Zhang Jizhong's eyes.
So he decided to maintain this relationship with Yue Guan.
He was even thinking about whether to help Yue Guan find some thin horses.
But after taking a look at Yue Guan's face, Zhang Jizhong gave up the idea.
With his looks, he doesn't need his help, and with his looks, he doesn't need to spend resources on women.
Zhang Jizhong felt that he had almost finished talking to Yue Guan today, so he gave Yue Guan one final instruction: "Yue Guan, the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has started preparations. I will confirm the cast as soon as possible. You can do it as soon as possible if you have time." Take a set of makeup photos. The publicity campaign starts now, and our crew is not short of money."
The drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is officially invested. How much money it makes is secondary. It is more important to increase the popularity of martial arts TV series and themes.
Therefore, the publicity campaign will far exceed Yue Guan's previous films "Chuang Ming" and even "The Best in the World".
Yue Guan was startled for a moment, and then said: "Director Zhang, what kind of makeup photos should I take?"
Zhang Jizhong was also stunned: "Yang Guo's makeup photo, what else?"
Yue Guan touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "I don't think I said I wanted to play Yang Guo."
Zhang Jizhong: “…”
He was confused.
You know, since it was confirmed that he would be asked to film the TV version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", countless male stars in the industry approached him through various connections, but he refused them all without hesitation.
In his mind, the role of Yang Guo must belong to Yue Guan. He never thought about selling this role out for favors, let alone the possibility that Yue Guan would not play it.
"You don't want to play Yang Guo?" Zhang Jizhong didn't understand: "Don't worry about the salary, it will definitely be in line with your worth."
"It's not about salary."
Yue Guan shook his head: "I'm just hesitating, should I take on the roles of Yang Guo and Zhang Wuji at the same time?"
"You want to play Zhang Wuji?"
"right."
A slight adaptation of the movie "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer: The Leader of the Demon Sect" is a classic movie that is both well-received and popular, and also features the role of an emperor. It fully meets Yue Guan's requirements, so Zhang Wuji will definitely play the role.
Relying on this movie to break into the film industry is much better than "Tianji: Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" and "The Great Wudang Code of Heaven and Earth".
Therefore, after playing Zhang Wuji, whether to play Yang Guo is a question that needs to be considered.
Zhang Jizhong still didn't understand: "The roles of Yang Guo and Zhang Wuji don't conflict, so if you take them both, there won't be any problem."
"There is no problem. My problem is that there are too many choices." Yue Guan was a little troubled.
Zhang Jizhong: “…”
He has a saying called MMP, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not.
