The first broadcast rights, secondary broadcast rights, and exclusive online broadcast rights of the "Dragon" TV series were sold for a high price of several hundred million. Naturally, this news could not be concealed, and it spread quickly. For a while, the Internet was boiling.
"Damn it, you're stealing money!"
"The TV series has not even started filming yet, but the broadcast rights have been sold for hundreds of millions. This is so awesome!"
"Not only has filming not started, but casting has not even started."
"It is said that for the right to premiere "Dragon Movie", five major TV stations gathered together, and even China Television and Phoenix TV in Hong Kong joined in the fun."
"I heard that China Television has unprecedentedly offered a price of 3 million for a single episode. This is China Television! China Television has always been aloof. Who has ever seen China Television spend so much money on a TV series? Anyway, I have never seen it. .”
"I haven't seen it either. China Television's ratings are so good. Many TV series produced by film and television production companies in the industry are thankful to be on China Television. How can I dare to make too many demands on the price?"
"So Wang Xuan is still awesome! The TV series he filmed actually made China Television lower its status. What's funny is that China Television lowered their status and even offered a high price of 3 million for a single episode. In the end, the bidding failed."
"It's not funny. Each of the five major TV stations offered three to four million. Didn't they also fail in the bidding? I can only say that Yangcheng TV is too cruel. Five million for a single episode, which breaks the single-episode price record in the history of TV dramas."
"Yes, it's cruel enough! Yangcheng TV is really a blockbuster."
"Then you have to have money. If it is not the provincial satellite TV of the most economically important province in China, how can Yangcheng TV become a blockbuster?"
"It is estimated that Yangcheng TV will reach the top five TV stations."
"We made a few small targets before filming started. Why should we have a small target for "Dragon Movie"?"
"Enlarge the picture a bit. When filming "The Condor", Wang Xuan had almost two small targets. When filming "Dragon", could he only have one small target? This is "Dragon"."
"Yes, you have to believe Wang Xuan. Anyway, I am looking forward to this TV series more and more."
...
Because there were so many people discussing it, the topic of selling the first broadcast rights of "Dragon Movie" quickly became a hot search topic and remained high on the hot search list.
Against this background, on August 15th, "Dragon" finally officially auditioned for roles.
Before this, many actors in the industry actually called Tianhai to seek roles. However, there were too many people wanting the same role. In order to keep improving, Wang Xuan decided to conduct an open casting call to select the most suitable one.
After half a month, the casting process for "Dragon" is finally over.
Xiao Feng will be played by Tian Hai's Yuan Hua, which was a direct decision.
A'Zhu is played by Deng Meilin.
Duan Yu is played by Han Zhengwei, who is also an actor under Tianhai. He previously played Yang Kang in "The Condor" and played the role of Yang Kang to perfection. In fact, Wang Xuan originally planned to let Han Zhengwei play Murong Fu. However, Hu Ge wanted to play Murong Fu, so Wang Xuan had no choice but to let Han Zhengwei play Duan Yu.
One thing to say is that although Duan Yu is one of the three main protagonists, in comparison, the role of Murong Fu is more malleable.
Murong Fu became famous and dazzling before he even appeared on the stage.
Yanziwu depicts the feeling of a wealthy family in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River to the extreme, and the eldest brother, younger brother, and various maids in it seem to exist for this so-called Mr. Murong. Everyone calls him versatile in both civil and military affairs, handsome, and popular among people.
The sentence "Murong in the south, Qiao in the north" pushed Murong Fu's reputation to the top.
But since he appeared and most of the books have passed, most people's impression of Murong Fu is that he has great martial arts, but lacks courage, is cunning, and does not use any means to achieve his goals. He is not as upright as Xiao Feng, and as a Han Chinese, he has no intention of regaining Dayan. Hongtu has no sense of identity. In short, he is a very unpleasant guy.
This feeling reached its peak during the martial arts competition at Shaoshi Mountain: Murong Fu was beaten by Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword and lost his helmet and armor. However, when Duan Yu was sparing him, he suddenly backhanded him and killed him. As a result, he was caught by Xiao Feng. Throw it out and it will fall into pieces of mud.
Xiao Feng said "Xiao Feng is big"
A good man is actually as famous as someone like you. "It makes people's blood boil. At the same time, he is full of contempt for Murong Fu, who hurt people behind his back. Until he insisted on becoming the Xixia Prince Consort despite Wang Yuyan's infatuated love, and ignored Duan Yu's persuasion. By that time, Murong Fu had almost been portrayed as a "villain".
But there must be something pitiful about the so-called hateful people.
Murong Fu's character and behavior were not innate, but were related to his identity, the environment he lived in, and the education he received. As the grandson of the Emperor of Great Yan, he has been taught since he was a child that his life-long goal is to revive Great Yan. What's wrong with that?
In order to regain Dayan, he traveled all over the world and used all means, but how could the general trend of the world be changed by one person? How can the rejuvenation of a country be achieved by one person?
Murong Fu was busy for half his life, doing whatever he could to get rid of all kinds of infamy. He even did such crazy things as recognizing Duan Yanqing as his father, agreeing to change his surname to Duan, killing Duan Zhengchun's mistress, and killing Duan Zhengchun's mistress. However, the dream of national restoration was destined to be just out of reach. .
In the end, he even lost his cousin who was infatuated with him, and he became completely desperate and insane.
Poor, sad!
In the darkness of the underground palace of the Xixia Palace, when the maid asked Murong Fu those three questions, Murong Fu's psychological activities were undoubtedly the highlight of this character. The original text is this:
Murong Fu had heard her ask forty or fifty people this question, but when he asked it to himself, he suddenly became speechless and couldn't answer. He spent his whole life working in camps and working hard to revive the Yan Kingdom. It can be said that he had never been happy. Others saw that he was young and handsome, had great martial arts skills, and was famous all over the world. Everyone in the world was in awe of him, and he must be proud of himself, but in his heart, he had never felt truly happy. He paused for a moment and said, "If I want to be truly happy, it will be in the future, not in the past."
Combined with this psychological description, the character Murong Fu can be considered alive. In the final analysis, Murong Fu was just a poor man who was passed down from his ancestors to a dream of national restoration, pushed forward by his family, and driven mad step by step by the world. His life has never been his own, it belongs to his family and his father. Although Xiao Feng was pathetic, he had a choice. Murong Fu had no choice and could not die even if he wanted to. When he was in Shaoshi Mountain, Murong Fu was beaten by Xiao Feng so much that he lost all face and even wanted to commit suicide.
It is said that "Tian Long Ba Bu" is the pinnacle of martial arts. It has three main protagonists, namely Duan Yu, Xu Zhu and Xiao Feng.
But compared with Xiao Feng, the two protagonists seem much bleak. Xiao Feng's main plot has plots, suspense, scenes and depth. The background spans the Central Plains, the Ligustrum Tribe of Changbai Mountain, the Khitan Royal Court in the Desert, Shaoshi Mountain, Tubo, and Yanmen Pass. It is magnificent and soul-stirring.
Where is Duan Yu? It's dull all the way. Although there are many appearances, the plot has no depth and is more like a thread.
Xu Zhu was also ignorant. By chance, he learned peerless martial arts, gained power, and embraced beautiful women. The plot doesn't have much depth either, it's just a thread.
Of course, from the perspective of "all living beings suffer and all sentient beings suffer evil", these two protagonists are qualified.
Duan Yu was born to hate martial arts, stayed away from politics, and only wanted to pursue the person he liked. However, while traveling in the world, he inexplicably learned a lot of peerless martial arts due to fate, and eventually became the emperor, becoming the kind of person he least wanted to be. Everyone I love is my sister. After reading a book by Wang Yuyan, in the end Wang Yuyan still loves her cousin;
Xu Zhu's lifelong wish is to be a little monk in the Buddhist sect, which is the most peaceful and longing holy land deep in his heart. However, he was miraculously deprived of Shaolin internal skills and learned the top martial arts of another sect. He killed someone, was forced to break his abstinence from drinking, drinking, etc., and could no longer convert to Buddhism. He has been without a father or mother since he was a child. As soon as he met his parents, both of them died.
In fact, nothing Xu Zhu got was what he wanted. But what he wanted was out of reach.
In short, Duan Yu and Xu Zhu have complete portrayals and full characters, but as the three main protagonists of Tianlong together with Xiao Feng, these two people lack aura and feel a little powerless.
On the contrary, Murong Fu is more worthy of being discussed as the protagonist together with Xiao Feng. The two are equally famous in the world. The names of "Nan Murong and Bei Qiao Feng" can be said to be resounding throughout the Central Plains, but they are both foreigners. One is a reckless hero, the other is a wealthy son, and the other is pursuing his own Khitan.
One person traveled around the world due to his own life experience, one person also traveled far and wide for the great cause of regaining the Xianbei people, one person was passionate and cheerful, and the other was scheming. The fate of the two people was entangled because of the grievances left by their respective fathers, and they reached the same destination through different paths.
Until the end, when the king's domineering ambitions returned to dust, Xiao Feng was so loyal that he committed suicide at Yanmen Pass, and died together with Azi on the cliff where his mother fell into the past. Murong Fu lost everything, his cousin left with Duan Yu, one of his four close friends was killed by him, and the three of them broke up with each other. His father became a monk and did not care about world affairs. Dayan's restoration of the country was in vain. From then on, he lost his mind and wandered around with Abi. Forest.
From this point of view, is Murong Fu more suitable to be the protagonist together with Xiao Feng? Also more qualified to be the protagonist of "Dragon Babu"?
Therefore, compared with Duan Yu, the role of Murong Fu is more malleable, and he is very brilliant when he plays it well.
Hu Ge obviously had a deep understanding of the role of Murong Fu, and that's why he took the initiative to ask Wang Xuan to play Murong Fu.
In fact, Wang Xuan was more willing to give the role of Murong Fu to Han Zhengwei, but when he asked Han Zhengwei what he thought of the role of Murong Fu, Han Zhengwei knew little about Murong Fu and did not analyze the connotation of Murong Fu, so Wang Xuan Xuan finally decided to give the role of Murong Fu to Hu Ge.
Wang Yuyan was played by Qiao Ziwei, whom Wang Xuan actively invited. Because Wang Yuyan is the fairy sister in "Tian Long Ba Bu", there are many beautiful people in the entertainment industry, but there are really not many people who have that kind of fairy spirit, like a fairy descending to earth. Qiao Ziwei is one of them, Chen Xueqi is also one of them, and the others are a little less interesting.
Chen Xueqi was not available, and Wang Xuan would not let her play Wang Yuyan, so she invited Qiao Ziwei.
Qiao Ziwei is naturally willing to play a role like Wang Yuyan. However, she also made a request. If there is a passionate scene, it can only be performed by a stand-in.
Wang Xuan naturally had no objection to this. The two hit it off and the matter was settled.
Xu Zhu is played by Li Ze in a guest role.
Li Ze and Lin Quan were thrown into the military camp by Wang Xuan for training. After training for more than half a year, they finally reached the standard of special forces and successfully graduated from the military camp. Li Ze and Lin Quan now have a military temperament all over their bodies. Wang Xuanruo shoots those popular military dramas, such as "Operation Red Sea" and "Wolf Warrior", so it is definitely not a problem for the two of them to star.
Later, Wang Xuan decided on Azi, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Linger. Liu Ruyan plays Azi, Jiang Xinxin plays Mu Wanqing, and Yang Hao plays Zhong Linger. These three are all actors from other companies. They were selected through casting. Not to mention their acting skills, they are still in their youth and their looks are almost at their peak.
It will definitely be a beautiful scenery by then.
In fact, there are many actors within Tianhai who want to play these three roles. But Wang Xuan thought about it and decided to choose from outside.
Han Zhengwei, who plays Duan Yu, has the same appearance as Lin Zhiying. Wang Xuan is afraid that the actress in Tianhai who plays opposite Han Zhengwei will get too involved in the drama and accidentally fall in love with Han Zhengwei. If there is any trouble, then Not good.
Wang Xuan from other companies is not afraid. As long as you agree with me, Wang Xuan won't care so much. Anyway, just don't harm the people inside Tianhai. Of course, Wang Xuan also believed in Han Zhengwei's character. This boy was from an ordinary background and was quite pragmatic. He would not act recklessly if he finally got this opportunity.
The reason for choosing someone from outside is just as a precaution.
