At the end of February, the crew of "Swallows and Eagles" officially launched in Dunhuang Film and Television City.
Director and screenwriter Qian Yanqiu, starring Zhang Zijian, Li Bingbing, Chiba Shinichi, Zhang Tong, Li Jie and others are all in place.
The role arrangement here has been mentioned before, basically there is no change, only Shen Qiqi's role was originally scheduled to be Duan Long, but now the schedule can't be moved, so the backup Li Jie is used.
It just so happens that "Swordsman" is about to air, and Li Jie, who plays Lin Pingzhi, can gain some fame, which is good for "Swallows and Eagles".
Speaking of which, when Fanxing contacted Li Jie, the other party was talking about a play, which was said to be the male lead, but when Cao Xuan came to him, he immediately pushed him over to play the third male lead without saying a word.
Cao Xuan didn't know if Li Jie had someone to advise him, or if he was optimistic about Fanxing's potential, or if he admired him as an official Cao.
But I have to say, Cao Xuan remembered him this time.
In the future, I won't talk about high praise, but if Fan Xing has a suitable role, he can try it.
This time, Cao Xuan did not participate in the opening ceremony of "Swallow Shuangying" because of the long distance, but his subordinate Fengyun Studio sent someone.
Li Bingbing is not an unknown person, and some reporters came here.
Moreover, this is the second cooperation between the hero and heroine of "Youth Bao Qingtian".
Although one is a boss and the other is an actor, the reporter definitely doesn't care, since they can't write scandals, it's good to have a real friend in the entertainment circle.
Although the play "Swallows and Eagles" is about Zhang Zijian, the focus of publicity is mainly on Li Bingbing.
There is no way, whoever made her famous, whoever is famous will carry the publicity.
Not only Yan Shuangying, but also "Swordsman".
After the promotion of "Swordsman" started in March, it basically focused on Cao Xuan. The heroine Xu Qing was barely half of his space, and the others couldn't even match a fraction.
In the original time and space, Zhang's big beard is one of the hot spots. As a behind-the-scenes producer, his exposure can almost be compared with that of the leading actor.
The main reason is that Zhang Dahuzi can be fired. From the beginning of the project, Dabeard has been brushing his face. Even for the drama "Swordsman", many people said it was Zhang Jizhong's version or the mainland version at the beginning, which shows its presence.
However, after Cao Xuan was confirmed to play the male lead, the bearded man began to abdicate to make way for the virtuous, and became the Cao Xuan version or the CCTV version/Mainland version.
Various related news came to light, eight bearded men tied together could not compare to Cao Xuan, the king of Asia.
So many times, when the bearded man made the news, he followed Cao Xuan to gain popularity, such as how wisely he liked Cao Xuan when he was casting, how well Cao Xuan acted, and how Cao Xuan "persecuted" him
Over time, Zhang Dabeard found the traffic password.
The three sentences are inseparable from Cao Xuan, not to mention "Swordsman", even other plays in his hands, he often comes here.
Of course, more exposure has advantages, but it also has disadvantages.
Apart from other things, countless people are staring at the drama "Swordsman", and everyone is happy after the filming. If something goes wrong, there is a high probability that Cao Xuan, the male lead, will take the blame.
For this, Cao Xuan was also mentally prepared.
This is the case with Jin Yong's dramas. If you bear the huge dividends brought by ip, you will also have to bear the huge pressure of ip. Whether it is scolding or praise, Cao Xuan has to follow.
On March 10th, Cao Xuan and Xu Qing landed on CCTV's variety talk show to create momentum for "Swordsman".
Prior to this, CCTV had already decided to broadcast "Swordsman" in one set.
This is very rare. After all, "Swordsman" is a martial arts drama, fighting and killing, and the plot does not have a main theme. It is easy to "teach bad" children, so Yuanshikong put it on CCTV's eight TV channels.
This time it was originally scheduled to be eight sets, but because of Cao Xuan, the Asian King + last year's satellite TV ratings champion, some relevant leaders decided to take a gamble.
In January of this year, CCTV's opening drama "Bauhinia Medal", although relying on the huge volume of CCTV, still won the first place in the same period, but the ratings were the lowest for a new year drama in the past ten years.
Therefore, CCTV intends to mention the key drama "Swordsman", and then follow it with "The Mansion Gate".
The two major dramas rushed to let those local satellite TVs know who is the boss of the TV station
Most of CCTV's programs are more serious, like those suitable for film and television promotion, they are basically interviews.
At this stage, the most popular talk shows on CCTV are "Tell the Truth" and "Art Life".
These two programs are also rare to be staged on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.It's comfortable.
Therefore, relatively speaking, "Tell the Truth" is more suitable for practical discussions, celebrity interviews, and first put the host and guests on an equal footing.
Later, the two participated in "Art Life". Relatively speaking, the host was still high-profile, but it was better than the aggressiveness of "Tell the Truth".
In fact, this show also has a lot of material. Fa Ge once implicated the host, and Chen Kun was forced to cry.
CCTV's talk shows are not as popular as Lu Yu and Li Jing. On the one hand, they are not entertaining enough, and on the other hand, guests and hosts tend to form "conflicts".
Of course, Lu Yu and Li Jing sometimes offended people, and even the former was disqualified, but it was mainly due to personal professional quality, and the positioning of the program was no problem.
In fact, Cao Xuan personally thinks that the best talk show on CCTV is Li Yong's "Yonglehui".
Li Yong is humorous, has a high emotional intelligence, and can put down his body. The guests eat and drink with him very easily, and the atmosphere of the interview is excellent.
?Guo Degang can also do interviews, but it is easy to grab the conversation, and he is not forgiving. He can tease the guests, but if the guests tease him, he must make up for it.
After all, the substitute host of "Art Life" was a bit weaker, and the sensational ability was also slightly weaker. Anyway, Cao Xuan didn't cry.
Xu Qing did shed a lot of tears, but judging from Cao Xuan's professional actor's perspective and the experience of working with Xu Qing, the tears were at most seven points sincere, and the remaining three points were probably to cooperate with the performance.
However, Cao Xuan really admired the program group's ability to find material, even the photos or screen captures of him when he was a group performer, and he didn't have many photos himself.
After the recording of the program ended, Cao Xuan went to the director and took a copy of the photo backup, which was not in vain.

ps: After reading the feedback from book friends, the song "Juanzhulian" is a bit inconsistent, so the last chapter was replaced with "Luzhou Moon" first, and some patches were also applied.
