Entering 1997, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was first filmed and landed on eight CCTV channels.
This youth idol drama dressed in ancient costumes has an ups and downs story, a humorous plot, and a relaxed and enjoyable rhythm. Therefore, it has become very popular since its release and became a huge hit.
In terms of influence, it is exactly the same as "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", "Desire", and "The Story of the Editorial Department" a few years ago. Because of this, the main actors such as Qin Hailu, Jiang Qinqin, Jin Qiaoqiao, Huang Xiaoming, Guo Xiaodong, Zu Feng, etc. all became famous instantly.
From an unknown student before, he has now become a popular star. Especially Qin Hailu, the little Yanzi she plays is the most popular among the audience because she is smart, loyal and cheerful without any scheming.
In addition, other actors also benefited a lot.
For example, Zhang Tielin, who plays the emperor, was popular in the 1980s and even went to Hong Kong to film movies, but he was never popular and could only play small supporting roles.
Over the years, his popularity has gradually declined, and it is almost impossible to find this person anymore. But now this movie "Huan Zhuge Ge" has directly increased his popularity and made him a popular star again.
Zhu Lin, who plays the role of the concubine, has lost a lot of popularity because he didn't do much filming in the past two years. Although it is still famous, it is no longer popular.
This "Huan Zhuge Ge" has made her popular again. But to her, it doesn't matter whether it's red or not.
After all, she has tasted the taste of being famous, which makes her no longer obsessed with false fame. Nowadays, when she has a movie, she shoots it, and when she doesn't, she spends her time at home. Having no worries about food and clothing, and living a comfortable life is actually very good.
…
After "Huan Zhuge Ge", "Legend of Liulichang" directed by Ouyang Fenqiang and Zhang Guoli was launched in CCTV's Feitian Theater.
The TV series also achieved good ratings.
First of all, the script is solid, the story is compact and tortuous, the plot has ups and downs, and the characters are vivid and vivid. Feng Yuanzheng, Xing Minshan, Zhang Guoli, Wu Yue and others also have solid acting skills, so the quality of the series is very high and it is naturally popular.
In the late 1990s, antique collecting craze gradually emerged. "Legend of Liulichang" is all about antiques and cultural relics, and it closely follows current hot topics, so it is naturally attractive.
Therefore, this TV series has good ratings and has allowed Ouyang Fenqiang to truly gain a foothold in the directing world.
…
It's a good start in 1997, and good things come in pairs. For Kirin Pictures, it's certainly worth celebrating.
Three years after its establishment, it has achieved remarkable results, which also gave Xiang Nan the confidence to recruit troops.
He plans to expand the scale, hire another group of directors, and sign a group of actors to increase production.
It would be best to shoot five or six movies and a dozen TV series a year. Only in this way can the maximum benefits be obtained.
Recruiting people is not an easy task for others. After all, you know people but don't know their hearts. Some people just have a good resume, but in fact it makes their hips stretch when they use it.
For example, those outdated directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, looking at their previous resumes, they are all gorgeous. All of them have produced works that were extremely popular and influential. But if you ask them to make movies, most of them will be rubbish and will not sell at the box office at all.
But for Xiang Nan, hiring people is much easier.
Which director is more capable and which actor has greater potential is unknown to others, but he understands it very well.
Therefore, he is accurate every time he takes action.
Successively, Kang Honglei ("Soldier Assault", "My Captain My Regiment", "The Passionate Years"), Kong Sheng ("Crossing the Guandong", "Dajiang Dahe", "Parental Love"), Mao Weining ("The Silent Oath") ", "Plum Blossom Files", "Ordinary World"), Gao Xixi ("The Sky of History", "Happiness is Like a Flower", "Sweet Honey") and other well-known directors gathered together.
As for actors, he has signed Xu Zheng, Sun Honglei, Huang Xiaoming, Yu Hewei, Huang Zhizhong, Zhang Jiayi, Liu Ye, Duan Yihong, etc.
These are the top artists in the mainland film and television drama industry in the next 20 to 30 years, and they are worth cultivating.
As for female stars, Xiang Nan didn't sign too many, only Jiang Qinqin, Qin Hailu, Zhang Ziyi, Jiang Wenli, Zhu Yuanyuan and a few others.
On the one hand, unlike male stars, the shelf life of female stars is generally shorter.
Male stars like Yu Hewei, Zhang Jiayi, and Huang Zhizhong can still play leading roles in their fifties, and they can still act in romantic dramas in their forties and fifties, starring opposite young actresses who are twenty or thirty years their junior without any embarrassment.
But once an actress reaches the age of thirty-five, she basically has to go two ways, either to quit the industry, get married, and return to her family. Or he would step aside and play a supporting role. This phenomenon is common in Hollywood.
On the one hand, most of the highlights of female stars came after 2010. Because with the rise of the Internet at that time, the audience's attention began to be scattered and they were no longer attached to a TV screen.
The only loyal viewers of TV are the old people and girls who love to follow dramas. Therefore, anti-war dramas and dramas with female protagonists began to become popular. The value of female stars only began to be reflected at that time.
Nowadays, TV dramas are generally dominated by male protagonists. That's why Xiang Nan focuses more on signing male stars.
…
After signing the director and actors, Xiang Nan immediately began to distribute the script and prepare for filming.
The one given to Kang Honglei was "The Passionate Years", the one given to Kong Sheng was also the Republic of China drama "The House at the Front Gate", the one given to Mao Weining was the "Oath of Silence", and the one given to Gao Xixi was a suspense drama "Flowers Are Not Flowers", for Ouyang Fenqiang is the youth drama "Surrender to the Innocent Girl", for Zhang Guoli is the "Kangxi Private Interview", for Zhao Baogang is the "Never Rest in Peace"...
Some of these scripts were written by Xiang Nan himself, and some were collected by him from outside.
Now, with the reform of the film and television industry, it has opened its arms to private capital, and a large amount of capital has poured into the market, making the film and television market more and more prosperous, and naturally attracting more and more talents to join.
Among them, there are many such as Zou Jingzhi, Shi Zhongshan ("The Military Song is Loud", "Happiness is Like a Flower"), Commentary ("The Sun Also Rises", "If You Have Something to Say", "The Japs Are Coming") Talent.
Most of them were writers before, writing poetry, writing, and prose. Later, as the book market slumped and the film and television drama market boomed, they also began to transform and rewrite scripts.
Because they have skills, talent, and life, the scripts they write are of good quality.
Of course, there are also many who are fooling people. After all, no matter which industry you are in, as long as there is money to be made and bargains to be found, there will inevitably be people who fish in troubled waters.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan's eyes were not in vain. He can still tell which script is good and which script is bad. Therefore, what he can take a fancy to are basically good scripts.
No matter how bad things are, Xiang Nan still holds a lot of IP in his hands. Kirin Pictures can survive just by eating itself.
…
After the script was distributed, several crews began to recruit actors and prepare for filming, which made the entertainment circle in Beijing lively.
