China Entertainment 1997

It’s interesting to say that most of the filming locations for “Xiuchundao 2” of the original time and space were in the ancient city of Taierzhuang, Zao City, Cao Xuan’s hometown.

Cao Xuan's Golden Finger still has an impression. At that time, many relatives and friends from his hometown went to Taierzhuang to check out the crowd, wanting to see Da Mimi's style, but basically they all came back disappointed.

If possible, Cao Xuan would like to support the construction of cultural tourism in his hometown, but unfortunately, there is not even a shadow of the ancient city of Taierzhuang now.

Therefore, the location selection for "Xiu Chun Dao 2" is basically based on film and television bases near the capital. In terms of location, as long as it is appropriately moved to the vicinity of Baiyangdian in Fanxing Film and Television City, it can be regarded as Cao Xuan's private goods.

Fanxing Film and Television City was also able to get its wish by hanging a sign indicating the filming location of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" to build up its momentum.

Beizhen Fusi, inside the government office

Wang Zhiwen was dressed in an exquisite and gorgeous flying fish suit. He was sitting at the main seat, with a plate of fish bones in front of him. Two strong men stood with swords on their sides. Cao Xuan and Qin Hao, dressed in hundreds of household uniforms, spoke respectfully in front of him, one behind the other.

We filmed several long shots, with Wang Zhiwen in a single shot and Cao Xuan acting together off-screen.

"There is a painter who is always in this calligraphy and painting field recently. He mixes in Donglin Party poems and satirizes current affairs, especially he dares to arrange Wei Eunuch. Isn't this because of his ambition?

Mr. Ling Qi, please go and take a trip. Dongchang wants this person to stop living..."

Outside the camera, Cao Xuan simply closed his eyes and slowly listened to Wang Zhiwen's lines with a little enjoyment.

The voice is full, the tone is steady and powerful, the rhythm is ups and downs, and every word is easy to hear. It not only has a unique rhythm, but also fits the situation naturally, and truly uses lines to act.

Wang Zhiwen's line skills are recognized as strong in the industry.

The 10-minute monologue in "Black Ice" is regarded as a classic by countless people.

Liu Tianwang co-starred with him and was amazed by Wang Zhiwen's lines. Wang Jinsong, an experienced actor, commented that you don't have to watch his plays, you can just close your eyes and listen to them, and you can understand them.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, Cao Xuan feels that the charm of this person's lines is really unparalleled in the industry.

Cao Xuan thought that he did not dare to compete with this actor in terms of acting skills, but he did not think that he would be too far behind. Except for the lines, he had no choice but to be inferior.

He once asked Lao Wang how he practiced this line, and he learned that he had loved reciting since childhood, had been a voice actor for many years, and had also acted in plays. He had honed his skills bit by bit over decades.

Of course, talent and his own magnetic and rich voice are also very critical and important elements.

When Wang Zhiwen finished a scene, Cao Xuan gave him a thumbs up, and Qin Hao next to him looked like he had benefited a lot.

Lao Wang smiled reservedly, touched the fake beard on his upper lip, and sat down in a chair with a relaxed body. The rest was performed by Cao Xuan and Qin Hao, with him acting outside the frame.

This is the second time that Cao Xuan plays Shen Lian, and he has a very good grasp of this role. It is no exaggeration to say that he can change states at any time and enter the scene in a second.

But Qin Hao is not bad either. After all, he is a frequent winner at Cannes and is recognized by later generations as one of the Mesozoic acting schools.

Cao Xuan especially felt that this person was particularly suitable for playing the role of a villain. His slightly evil face looked forward with a slightly crazy look, which gave people a creepy feeling.

This is also the reason why Cao Xuan asked Qin Hao to play the villain. He felt that Qin Hao could play that kind of "evil" in his heart.

"Xiu Chun Dao 2" has only been filming for two weeks, and the two have done a lot of scenes together, and they have gradually developed some tacit understanding. Although there is no direct dialogue, their eye movements are very good.

Speaking of which, some of the starring cast of "Xiuchundao 2" are less famous, but their acting skills are really on point.

Especially these two from China Opera Class 96, although Cao Xuan knew it well, he was still quite surprised.

Dongxiong Ergong, who thought he had contributed to this cooperation, also felt that he had face, and thought that his old classmates had given him face, so he was worthy of his help.

In addition, what surprised Cao Xuan was the beauty Zeng. Her fighting scenes are clean and neat, her literary dramas are remarkable, her heroic appearance is not lacking in tenderness, she is really outstanding.

On the contrary, the heroine Fan Xiaopang is indeed better than the original Damimi, but overall she is still the most crotchless among the actors.

Although the heroine Hokusai is not as lovable as Ding Baiying, Fan Xiaopang's acting skills are indeed a weakness.

It may not be obvious at ordinary times, but compared with Cao Xuan and other elites in the industry, it is still obviously far behind.

Especially for Nishimiya, who is also an actress, the contrast is extremely obvious.

Although Zeng Damei does not have many actual performances, she has a master's degree in Chinese opera performance. She has a thorough understanding of theory. She often tutors and teaches student performances. She has reviewed and reviewed various dramas and movies. She has a deep understanding and understanding of performance. .

Don't look at many actors who have acted a lot, but they just act without thinking about it. They work in a programmed manner and have limited growth in their professional capabilities.

Ms. Zeng has not acted many times, but she thinks about acting every day. As long as she gets the right role and has enough acting experience, her level will be very high.

Cao Xuan personally feels that in terms of pure acting skills, West Palace is better than East Palace.

Hu Jing is not bad in talent, but sometimes she cannot put all her emotions and concentration into her performances.

This is especially true in the past two years. The Empress of the East Palace has put a lot of energy into other than acting. Acting is not just for fun, but it is not as pure and serious as before.

In short, acting has become a side job.

Unless she comes across scripts that she likes like "When Men Are in Love" and "Two of Us", or which are of excellent quality, Hu Jing will not work hard to squeeze herself, and naturally she will not be able to use her full strength.

In contrast, Miss Zeng's mind is not that complicated. In addition to school and home, she occasionally goes out to film.

And because he is a teacher, he often has very high requirements for his students' performance attitude and other aspects. This also applies to himself. He is extremely serious about filming and is willing to think carefully about the role.

For example, in "Xiu Chun Dao 2", Empress Nishinomiya wrote nearly 10,000 words on Ding Baiying's character biography alone, which is more than the character script given to her in the script.

Looking at the character experiences she had sorted out and made up by herself, Cao Xuan felt that it was enough to make a series of spin-off movies about Ding Baiying.

Cao Xuan asked himself, he was inclined to think that Zeng Damei's future artistic achievements might be higher than Hu Jing's.

But I can't be sure.

After all, Hu Jing's foundation is not bad, and she is more famous and has extra influence. If she encounters a scene she likes, she will act hard, and then it will explode, and she will win the award and be soft.

After all, East Palace now has a Hundred Flowers Best Actress in its hands, but West Palace doesn't even have a decent film and television award nomination.

This scene was filmed for less than three hours. Other scenes were arranged, and Cao Xuan and others got a chance to rest for more than half an hour.

Returning to the rest area, Wang Zhiwen stretched his waist, gently hammered it, and then did a few stretching exercises. The filming of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" was quite intense, and there was also fighting training from time to time.

For a middle-aged man like Lao Wang who is still young and has basically no acting experience before, working for a long time will make him a little tired.

What's more, Lao Wang was famous for being a romantic when he was young, and he had fought many battles, so it was inevitable that he would be at a loss.

In contrast, Cao Tianwang, who has been exercising and paying attention to his health, is much more relaxed. Sometimes he and Empress Xigong go out to work overtime, and they are still full of energy the next day.

"Teacher Wang, I have some Xiangjiang medicinal wine given by others. They are all good things. They can nourish the kidneys and strengthen the body. I will send you two bottles later."

"Okay, I'll send you the address later."

Wang Zhiwen was very familiar with Cao Xuan and was not polite to Cao Xuan. The main reason was that he knew that Cao Xuan was rich and must have good things in his hands.

Of course, he didn't use Cao Xuan's things in vain. He usually taught Cao Xuan his own dialogue experience. This medicinal wine can be regarded as the cultivation of Cao Tianwang.

"Mr. Cao, is this wine expensive? I have a friend..."

Qin Hao couldn't help but came over shamelessly, and Cao Xuan looked at him in surprise.

"No way, Haozi, I remember you are a few years younger than me, how come you are so young..."

"Ahem, I asked for my friend."

Qin Hao scratched his head and made a friend out of nothing. He was actually quite right, but as a man, he couldn't help but give it a try when he heard about such good things.

Cao Xuan actually understands this mentality. His wine is actually more about replenishing qi and restoring vitality. It is a health-preserving wine that can be used by normal people.

"If you don't have enough money, forget it. Keep filming well. When the filming is finished, I will give you two bottles as a gift to your friend."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao."

Qin Hao was very happy, and Wang Zhiwen also came over and asked curiously: "What are the raw materials? Can we match them ourselves?"

"It's useless to give you the recipe, and don't ask for the ingredients. I won't give you fake wine anyway."

Cao Xuan was noncommittal. He said that his medicinal wine was sent by Xiangjiang, but it was actually a pretense. In fact, he found a master to mix it, and then went to Southeast Asia and other places to collect materials to make the wine. Many of the raw materials were relatively sensitive, and it was not clear whether it was drinkable or not.

Qin Hao was still a little confused, but Wang Zhiwen already knew what was going on. He didn't say anything more, but just opened the magazine in his hand, browsed the news, and let out a light sigh.

"How come Zhao Benshan still plays football when he takes charge of Liaoning Football Club?"

"Where is it? Where is it?"

Lao Zhao's national status is not something to be underestimated. Wang Zhiwen shouted softly, and Qin Hao and several people next to him were startled.

"Teacher Zhao is so rich, how can he still play football?"

Cao Xuan works a lot and keeps his laptop close to him during breaks. He is waiting to turn it on. When he heard this, he replied.

"Don't underestimate me. Mr. Zhao makes his own TV series and invests in theaters, mining, hotels, and real estate. He is a well-known entrepreneur in the Northeast."

In 2005, Internet information had not yet developed to that level of transparency. In addition, Lao Zhao's basic activities were in the Northeast, and he had been relatively low-key before.

Many people would not know the net worth of this Spring Festival Gala skit king if they had not interacted with him or searched deliberately.

However, this scandal with Liaozu has brought Lao Zhao some limelight across the country.

"Mr. Cao, I remember that you are also a football fan. Do you want to have a club to play in?"

Qin Hao asked curiously. The stars were strong. Even if many people didn't know Cao Xuan's specific net worth, they knew that he was not an ordinary businessman, at least not inferior to Lao Zhao.

It is not new for domestic and foreign entrepreneurs to invest in football. They are all a little curious whether this young rich man will also get involved.

"Pull it down, Chinese football is too deep and we can't afford to play."

Cao Xuan replied categorically that he had money and couldn't spend it. Wouldn't it be better to donate more to Hope Primary Schools and help the orphans, disabled, old and young to build virtue for his family? If he went to play Chinese football when he was full, he would not be asking for his own wrath.

Just like Lao Zhao, despite his current success, he immediately left Liaoning Football Club within half a year after he took over. If he hadn't been smart and relied on his reputation to make a fuss without spending much money, he would have been deceived.

Moreover, Cao Xuan has always felt that the investment environment of domestic football clubs is not good, such as——

Wanda’s Lao Wang invested heavily in the football industry, but was forced to cut off his arms to survive, withdrawing from the football field on a large scale, and then turned the corner.

Xu Tie of Evergrande built a Chinese Super League dynasty, but ended up saddled with sky-high debt.

Suning's boss Zhang became increasingly difficult, so much so that just after winning the Chinese Super League championship, the club disappeared, creating a miracle in football.

Shenhua’s former boss Zhu had been playing football for several years, and Ninetowns Games went from being a top gaming company on the Internet to almost going bankrupt.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about other small and medium-sized enterprises. The better ones are just going downhill, and the bad ones are gone.

Of course, there is a saying that these corporate troubles are actually mainly caused by the economic and industry environment, or the company's internal development is not smooth.

In fact, it has little to do with football, and it is even far-fetched, but Cao Xuan may have colored glasses, but he still feels it is unlucky.

Therefore, for the sake of his blood pressure and wealth, Cao Xuan felt that he should refuse gambling, drugs, and investment in football...

"The domestic football environment is really not good."

There were several football fans nearby who nodded. They lost the Asian Cup final last year, or in other words, after the 2002 World Cup, there were more and more bad things happening in domestic football. Old fans sighed when they mentioned it.

However, others suggested: "If it doesn't work at home, the boss can invest abroad. Wouldn't it be great to buy a wealthy club and sign Beckham?"

"Pull it down, the water is deeper abroad."

Cao Xuan had a sigh on his face. Even if he lost money by investing in domestic clubs, he could still be considered as making some contribution to Chinese football or fans.

If you invest in a foreign club, if anything happens, you won't be able to sell it if they impose sanctions. Foreign devils eat people without spitting out their bones...

Seeing that Cao Xuan was not interested, the topic quickly turned to this year's Champions League.

Ignoring these imaginative fans, Cao Xuan continued to browse the web. After a while, a familiar mint-scented wind appeared behind Cao Xuan.

Without looking back, Cao Xuan knew that the Queen of the West Palace was coming. On the one hand, he was familiar with Zeng Li's smell.

Also, the men on the set have no scent on their bodies, and only girls may wear some perfume and cosmetics.

As for the women in the entire crew who had the guts to come over to him while playing on the computer, Zeng left. Fan Xiaopang, whose status in the company had increased, was barely considered half, but with Empress Nishinomiya here, she didn't dare to make any mistakes.

"What are you looking at, Douban?"

Zeng Li took a curious look. The position and tone were just right, familiar but not intimate. This was also the way the two got along on the set.

Although it was a bit of a cover-up, more than half of the crew felt that the two of them were not simple.

"Didn't I say before that I want to acquire a film and television information data website? I'm currently investigating."

This wasn't a trade secret, so Cao Xuan didn't hide it and explained it directly.

As mentioned before, rating information recommendation communities and ticket purchasing websites like Douban and Maoyan are an indispensable part of Cao Xuan's entertainment landscape.

The movie market is not booming yet. Online ticketing can be done, but it will take a few years for it to fully develop.

but. Comment recommendation communities like Douban can already start focusing on layout.

This is an important platform that is close to controlling the word-of-mouth rating of film and television. If you don't occupy it and let others grab it first, you will be subject to restrictions in every way.

In April 2005, Douban had just been established for a few days, and the number of posts and users were very few. Cao Xuan browsed around, but the comment area of ​​Douban was not as busy as his blog.

But this is already good. There are very few similar professional film and television websites. They are basically sub-sections of Tianya or other forums. The more famous Shiguang.com will not appear until next year.

Cao Xuan has been hesitating whether to directly acquire Douban and invest in it for development, or to build a new website by himself.

Investing in Douban was the easiest thing to do, but he didn't like Douban's style of doing things very much, and he might have a dominance dispute with the founder.

Cao Xuan doesn't care about Penguin because his focus is not on the Internet, but it is inevitable that he will often intervene in a platform that is related to his own entertainment strategy. This is why Cao Xuan acquired a majority of the shares in a certain company.

He must have the absolute right to speak to avoid conflicts with managers!

Fortunately, Cao Xuan pays more attention to the various copyright adaptations of online articles, and is not particularly concerned about the development of online articles themselves. To a certain extent, they are complementary to the management team of Youdian, and there is almost no conflict.

Douban is different. Cao Xuan personally doesn't like or even hate some of Douban's trends. If it is his product, it must be drastically reformed.

In this case, it is difficult not to conflict with the founder team. With Cao Xuan's temper and capital, 99% of the time the other party will get out.

But it should be noted that although the atmosphere of Douban is not good, the founder team is indeed an important key to development. If they are kicked out, Douban will not only become an empty frame, but also hurt the bones, and it will not be conducive to Cao Xuan’s investors. reputation.

The acquisition of Douban was originally to save trouble, but if it went through such a mess, it would be more trouble.

Especially since Douban has just started, it is equivalent to a new website that is still scratching its head. Building a new website will only waste some time. With Cao Xuan’s financial support and golden finger guidance, it will be easy to catch up.

The only difficulty was finding someone to build the new website.

Cao Xuan thought of a person who was still struggling to start a business and was just in its infancy. He believed that his team could bring Cao Xuan a great "new Douban".

Wang Xing is the founder of well-known online platforms such as Meituan.com, Xiaonei.com, Dianping, and Maoyan.

At present, he has not long returned to China and is focusing on social networking sites. Cao Xuan knows him because Wang Xing's first website [Duoduyou] was invested by Cao Xuan's Jiaoyang Venture Capital.

This website was not profitable, so Wang Xing was unwilling to accept it and started a new project, still funded by Jiaoyang Venture Capital.

Let’s put it this way, within Jiaoyang Venture Capital, Wang Xing was Cao Xuan’s hand-picked priority to invest in entrepreneurs.

Jiaoyang Venture Capital now owns shares in Penguin and Warner Music Group, plus other large and small projects, with total assets of several billion yuan.

Cao Xuan doesn't care about ordinary small projects worth millions or tens of millions, and only looks at the follow-up general ledger. As Wang Xing is a key target, no matter how big or small his projects are, he can go straight to Tianting.

At Jiaoyang Venture Capital, Wang Xing’s priorities are ranked among the top ten. Not only are they key targets, they also have a high level of confidentiality.

Jiaoyang Venture Capital is now considered a large institution in the domestic investment community, and outstanding talents must be kept confidential to prevent others from intercepting their information.

Now, Wang Xing is preparing to tinker with the school network, but Cao Xuan is not optimistic about the prospects of this project.

Penguin Blog now has the characteristics of both a blog and QQ space, and has even begun to partially refine other markets, squeezing out most of the social market. Even if the Xiaonei Network is built, the ceiling will be limited after all.

Therefore, Cao Xuan deliberately asked Wang Xing to come and help him with Douban, to hone his skills and accumulate experience and contacts. After two or three years, the website was on track and a mature takeover team was in place.

At that time, when Wang Xing wanted to start a business again, Cao Xuan was very supportive and even became a wave of angel investors.

I guess Meituan will be on the scene by then...

Cao Xuan plans to go back and talk to Wang Xing. The prospect of "Douban" is still good, and the founding of Maoyan also means that Wang Xing is interested in and understands this aspect.

The response to the previous two projects was mediocre. Wang Xing is now at a low point and confused, and the future of the school network he started is unclear.

Although Wang Xing is known to be stubborn, otherwise he would not have suffered repeated setbacks on his entrepreneurial journey, but as long as the price is sufficient, Mr. Cao believes that he can still persuade the other party.

If it really doesn't work, without Wang Xing, there will be other practitioners, and there are many Internet giants who have not yet taken off. Cao Xuanxuanran doesn't remember much, but it is definitely enough.

As for the name of the new website, Douban will definitely not be able to use it, but Cao Xuan really likes the name [Shijiang.com].

He planned to go back and check whether it was registered, and if not, he would take advantage of it.

Cao Xuan didn't talk too much about these ideas to Zeng Li. She didn't understand and wasn't interested. When she heard Cao Xuan talking about a bunch of jargon, she immediately walked away to chat with Damimi.

There are only a limited number of actresses in "Xiu Chun Knife 2". Fan Xiaopang doesn't have many scenes opposite her, but Damimi, who plays the role of master and apprentice. Zeng Li likes to chat with her during breaks.

Especially knowing that Damimi was about to take the college entrance examination and the teacher had an occupational disease, I took the time to supervise Damimi's cultural classes.

It's a pity that Damimi has now taken the Beidian Arts Examination and successfully passed it. Otherwise, Dame Zeng would have deceived her into passing the exam and becoming Liu Tianxian's junior sister.

Facing Empress Xigong's "favor", Damimi was both flattered and a little frightened.

She has not forgotten that she is a member of the East Palace Party and is now fighting fiercely with the West Palace Empress every day. If Hu Jing knows this, how should she explain it?

But asking her to sternly reject Zeng Li would make the three of her dare not say this.

I can only accept the mercy of the West Palace Empress, and call the East Palace Empress to say hello at night to express my loyalty. I am sandwiched between the East and West Palaces every day, in a world of ice and fire. It is so refreshing...
