"Didn't you say you won't take photos of Zhang Wuji?"

Yue Guan told him before that after playing Yang Guo, Zhang Wuji and Linghu Chong stopped taking roles.

"I write movie scripts."

Tang Yan became interested: "Movie? Do you think I'm suitable to play Zhao Min or Zhou Zhiruo?"

"It's not suitable for me. You don't have time. If "Chi Lian" can't be finished, my drama will basically start filming."

Moreover, he has his favorite candidates in Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo.

Miracle Company will be the main investor in the project "Eternal Dragon Sword: Demon Cult Leader", and Yue Guan will hold most of the power in his own hands.

When you are making a movie for the first time, you definitely have to be more serious.

Seeing that he had no chance to participate in the show, Tang Yan also lost interest.

However, she felt a little distressed when she saw Yue Guan's frown, and took the initiative to ask with concern: "Have you encountered a creative bottleneck?"

"It's not a creative bottleneck, but I did encounter a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to finish this script in one movie."

The reason why he wrote the script himself was naturally because he wanted to change the demon Zhang Wuji into the emperor.

In fact, it is easy to change.

Zhang Wuji is the leader of the Mingjiao, and the Mingjiao is the main force against the Yuan Dynasty. According to the original setting, the Yuan Dynasty was finally killed by the Mingjiao.

As long as Zhang Wuji changes his name, everything will fall into place.

The one who killed Yuan Zhang and the Yuan Dynasty was Zhang Wuji.

As long as the character Zhu Yuanzhang is deleted from the original version, it will not affect the plot.

The problem is that the story line of "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer: The Leader of the Demon Cult" is very complete. Except for the character Zhu Yuanzhang, which can be deleted, the others are not suitable for deletion.

But in this case, "The Master of the Demon Sect" can only capture the six major sects being captured by Zhao Min at most, but not the Ming Sect's destruction of the Yuan Dynasty at all.

If you want Zhang Wuji to be the emperor, you have to make one more movie "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword: The World's Supreme". You can't tell the story of an emperor with just one movie "The Story of Heaven and Dragon Sword: The Leader of the Demon Cult". You can only tell the story of the leader of the Demon Cult. .

"If you can't finish one movie, just make two." Tang Yan didn't think this was a big problem.

"I'll think about it again."

Yue Guan is not as relieved as Tang Yan.

Although he likes the movie "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Leader" very much, this movie was a loss-maker in his previous life and had a low box office.

Wang Jing has made hundreds of movies, and few of them have lost money, but "The Legend of the Demon Cult" is one of them that has lost money.

This movie has a good reputation among Wang Jing's works, but is at the bottom of the box office.

Yue Guan had to think more about it.

If the first part does not do well at the box office, there is of course no need to shoot the second part. No matter how good the reputation is, it will be useless. The market will always be more convincing than word of mouth.

Many viewers said that Zhao Min had been waiting for Zhang Wuji for more than 20 years in Dadu because of the box office loss, so naturally he would not consider a sequel.

Later, Wang Jing wanted to make a sequel because he had no other leftovers to fry... In order to make money, it was not shameful to go back and fry leftovers.

However, the actors back then are all old. If a new group of actors is used to make a sequel to an old martial arts movie, Yue Guan estimates that the box office will not be much better.

He definitely doesn't want this life's "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Master" to be a box office hit, but it doesn't necessarily work well even if it's a box office thing.

Wang Jing's film "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Leader" is not bad either.

On the contrary, the "Macau" trilogy received rave reviews, but each one made more money than the last.

The movie market is less logical than TV dramas, so Yue Guan has to think twice about what to choose.

Yue Guan doesn’t think that his acting will definitely make him popular. In his previous life, Zhang Wuji was played by the Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie in "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Leader". At that time, Li Lianjie was at the height of his popularity in the film industry, and his status and popularity were only higher than what he is now. Not bad either.

It didn't work. "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Leader" was still a flop. The box office was only one-fifth of the investment, and it was a loss.

But if he only shoots "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Leader of the Demon Cult", his plug-in will be useless.

This is also an issue that must be considered.

After staying in Tang Yan for another day, Yue Guan boarded the plane to Xiangcheng.

After all, he is just an actor, and Miracle Company has not signed any director.

If "The Legend of Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Leader" is to be made, it will definitely need an excellent director.

Yue Guan didn't consider anyone else, just the original director Wang Jing.

During the filming of "The Best in the World", Yue Guan and Wang Jing got along very well. Yue Guan would not dare to accept Wang Jing's drama casually, but for a drama that he directed, it would not be a big problem to invite Wang Jing to be the director.

Besides, the one he has the best relationship with in the director circle is Wang Jing, and Wang Jing is also famous for being only interested in money. When working with Wang Jing, as long as the money is in place, he will have a strong say. This is basically impossible with other big directors.

After coming out of Xiangcheng Airport, Yue Guan stopped for a while and soon waited for someone to pick him up.

Naturally, he had contacted Wang Jing in advance before coming.

But the person who came to pick him up was not Wang Jing, nor was he from Wang Jing, but Gao Yuanyuan.

Reunited after a long separation, Yue Guan and Gao Yuanyuan hugged each other.

The friendship between the two of them has not lasted for a year or two.

"Sister Yuanyuan, long time no see."

"I can't help it. King Yue Tianwang is too popular. He definitely doesn't have time to meet a fool like me."

Gao Yuanyuan's tone was a bit sinister.

She went to Dragon City to attend a ribbon-cutting event before, and called Yue Guan to invite him out for a meal and catch up on old times, but Yue Guan was busy filming at the time, so she declined.

Gao Yuanyuan was very angry.

Sister Yuanyuan used to open her mouth and shut up, and took the initiative to invite her out to play, but now she turns her back and refuses to recognize anyone after becoming popular, what a scumbag.

Yue Guan coughed lightly: "Sister Yuanyuan, in our relationship, do we still need to be polite?"

"It doesn't matter between us, don't talk nonsense."

Gao Yuanyuan got into the car first.

Yue Guan hurriedly followed.

Of course Gao Yuanyuan would not really be angry with him. There was of course a reason why she and Yue Guan appeared in Xiangcheng together this time.

"Sister Yuanyuan, have you met Director Zhang?"

"Well, the contract has been signed, so your stinky brother has some conscience."

At this point, Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Yue Guan and her anger subsided: "You really don't want to play Zhang Wuji? Director Zhang still hopes to continue to cooperate with you."

The ratings for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were stable on the first day it aired, and CCTV immediately renewed "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer."

In fact, before "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" started airing, the film and television project of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" had already begun operations.

Yue Guan gave up participating in the role, but he decided on the role of Zhou Zhiruo early and gave it directly to Gao Yuanyuan.

The little emperor in "The Best in the World" was recommended to Wang Jing by Gao Yuanyuan. Although it was mainly due to Golden Finger, Gao Yuanyuan was the one who pulled the strings after all, and Yue Guan certainly had to reciprocate the favor.

Besides, Zhou Zhiruo, played by Gao Yuanyuan in her previous life, was indeed pretty good. He and Gao Yuanyuan have such a good relationship, so why should he take advantage of other female stars
