Chapter 1464 1466 [Recruitment]

   Entering 1997, "Han Zhu Ge Ge" was first filmed and landed on CCTV 8.

  This youth idol drama dressed in ancient costumes has ups and downs in the story, a humorous plot, and a relaxed and happy rhythm. Therefore, it has become very popular since it was launched, and it has become a huge hit.

  In terms of influence, it is no worse than "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", "Longing", and "Story of the Editorial Department" a few years ago. Therefore, the main actors such as Qin Hailu, Jiang Qinqin, Jin Qiaoqiao, Huang Xiaoming, Guo Xiaodong, Zu Feng, etc., all became popular.

  From an unknown student before, now he has become a popular star. Especially Qin Hailu, she played the role of Little Swallow, who is smart, loyal, jovial and has no intentions, so she is the most popular among the audience.

   In addition to this, other actors also benefited a lot.

  For example, Zhang Tielin, who played the role of the emperor, was considered popular in the 1980s and went to Xiangjiang to film a movie, but he was never considered popular and could only play a small supporting role.

   Over the years, the popularity has gradually declined, and this person is almost gone. But now this "Han Zhu Ge Ge" has directly increased his popularity, and he has once again become a popular star.

   Zhu Lin, who played the role of Concubine Ling, has lost a lot of popularity because he didn't make much filming in the past two years. Although the popularity is still there, it is no longer popular.

  This "Han Zhu Ge Ge" can be regarded as making her popular again. But to her, it doesn't really matter whether she is red or not.

   After all, she has tasted the taste of being popular again, which made her no longer attached to false fame. Now she shoots when she has a play, and lives at home when she doesn't have a play. No worries about food and clothing, and a comfortable life, in fact, it is already very good.

  …

  After "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", "The Legend of Liulichang" directed by Ouyang Fenqiang and Zhang Guoli landed on CCTV's Feitian Theater.

   This TV series also achieved good ratings.

  Firstly, the script is solid, the story is compact and tortuous, the plot is ups and downs, and the characters are vivid and vivid. The acting skills of Feng Yuanzheng, Xing Minshan, Zhang Guoli, Wu Yue and others are also solid, so the quality of the series is very high and they are naturally popular.

  Secondly, in the late 1990s, the enthusiasm for antique collection gradually rose. "Legend of Liulichang" talks about antiques and cultural relics, and it is close to the current hot spots, so it is naturally attractive.

   Therefore, the ratings of this TV series are not bad, which also allowed Ouyang Fenqiang to gain a real foothold in the director industry.

  …

  The start of 1997 was a good start, and good things come in pairs. For Kylin Pictures, it is naturally worth celebrating.

  It has been established for three years and has achieved outstanding results, which also gave Xiang Nan the confidence to recruit troops.

  He plans to expand the scale, recruit another group of directors, and sign a group of actors in order to increase production.

  It is best to be able to shoot five or six movies and a dozen TV series a year. In this way, the maximum benefit can be obtained.

  Recruiting people is not an easy task for others. After all, knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, some people just have a good resume, but they actually pull their hips as soon as they use it.

  For example, those former Hong Kong and Taiwan directors, looking at their previous resumes, all of them are extremely gorgeous. They have all produced smash hits and works with great influence. But if they are invited to film, most of them are **** and cannot be sold at the box office.

  But for Xiang Nan, it is much easier to hire people.

  Which director has high skills and which actor has great potential? Others don't know, but he understands it very well.

   Therefore, he made every shot.

Successively cast Kang Honglei ("Soldier Assault", "My Commander, My Regiment", "The Years of Burning Passion"), Kong Sheng ("Crossing the Guandong", "Dajiang Dahe", "Parents' Love"), Mao Weining ("Silent Vows") ", "Plum Blossom File", "Ordinary World"), Gao Xixi ("The Sky of History", "Happiness is Like a Flower", "Sweet Honey") and other well-known directors gathered here.

   In terms of actors, he successively 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 actresses, Xiang Nan didn't sign too many, only signed Jiang Qinqin, Qin Hailu, Zhang Ziyi, Jiang Wenli, Zhu Yuanyuan and a few others.

  On the one hand, unlike male stars, female stars generally have a shorter shelf life.

  Actors like Yu Hewei, Zhang Jiayi, and Huang Zhizhong can still play leading roles at the age of 50, and they can still act in romantic dramas at the age of 40 or 50. It is not awkward to play against young actresses who are 20 or 30 years younger.

  But once an actress turns thirty-five, she basically has two paths, either to retire from the circle to marry and return to the family. Or just abdicate to let the virtuous, and switch to a supporting role. This phenomenon is very common in Hollywood.

  On the one hand, most of the actresses' highlight period came after 2010. Because after the rise of the Internet at that time, the audience's attention began to be dispersed, and they were no longer attached to a TV screen.

  The only loyal viewers of TV are old people and girls who love to watch dramas. So the anti-war drama and the heroine drama began to become popular. The value of female stars only began to be reflected at that time.

  Nowadays, TV dramas are generally dominated by leading men. That's why Xiang Nan mainly signed male stars.

  …

  After signing the director and actors, Xiang Nan immediately began to distribute scripts and prepare for filming.

For Kang Honglei is the "Passionate Years", for Kong Sheng is also a Republican drama "Qianmenlouzi Jiuzhangjiu", for Mao Weining is the "Silent Oath", and for Gao Xixi is a suspense drama "Flowers are not flowers", for Ouyang Fenqiang is a youth drama "Surrender to an Innocent Girl", for Zhang Guoli is "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", for Zhao Baogang is "Never Close Your Eyes"...

  Some of these scripts were written by Xiang Nan himself, and some he received from outsiders.

  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 ("Military Songs Loud and Bright", "Happiness is Like a Flower"), commentaries ("The Sun Also Rises", "Speak Well", "The Devil Is Coming") talent.

   Most of them were writers before, writing poetry, novels, and prose. Later, with the sluggish book market and the prosperity of the film and television drama market, they also began to transform and transcribe scripts.

  Because they have foundation, talent, and life, the scripts they write are of good quality.

  Of course, many of them are fooling people. After all, no matter which line of work, as long as there is money to be made and bargains to be made, there must be people who fish in troubled waters.

   Fortunately, Xiang Nan's eyes are not white. He can still tell which script is good and which one is bad. Therefore, what he can fancy are basically good scripts.

   No matter how bad it is, Xiang Nan still has a lot of IPs in his hands. It is enough for Qilin Pictures to survive just by eating himself.

  …

  After the script was released, several production crews began to recruit actors and prepare for filming, which made the entertainment industry in Beijing lively.
