In 1999, there was the panic of doomsday prophecies and the joy of entering a new century. It was contradictory and deeply entangled.

This year, the Chinese movie box office fell into an unprecedented low. Zhang Yimou took home the Golden Lion Award; Jia Zhangke was banned; Wang Changtian, Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong and other private film and television business leaders began to officially enter the film industry; and in Oriental Hollywood Xiangjiang,

Stephen Chow topped the box office of the year with "The King of Comedy", and Du Qifeng established the quality of Galaxy Video with "Gunfire".

This year, the Chinese music scene was turbulent. Xie Tingfeng took over the mantle of the Four Heavenly Kings with his song "Thank You for Your Love 1999"; Baodao Province Mayday was born; Park Sook became a popular school boy with "White Birch Forest"

; However, mainland rock music has not ushered in a new life since Hung Hom; 16-year-old Da Zhangwei led the Huaer Band and became a dazzling new star; as for Zhou Jialun, he was still sitting in the basement eating instant noodles and writing songs.

This year, the most explosive entertainment news in Hong Kong was that Wu Qili nodded on TV and admitted that she was carrying Cheng Long's child. Afterwards, Cheng Long held a press conference to explain the Xiao Longnu incident and said the famous sentence "I

I did the wrong thing that all men in the world have done, and it can also be said that it was just for fun."

Things rise and fall with the tide.

Also in this year, a soul from 1800 years ago traveled here and began another unknown period of his life.

The popularity of the drama "Little Li Flying Knife" gave Lu Bu his first boost of popularity.

No matter what era the entertainment industry is in, if you want to follow the pure idol route, popularity is indispensable. Even if you have strength, popularity is still a plus.

No, once you gain popularity, invitations will come.

"I got to meet a real person today. He lives up to his name. He is truly a talented person."

"Director Lou deserves the award."

Lou Nan, the director and producer of the TV series "Racing Horses to the West Wind", invited Lu Bu to play the second male role of Fu Hongxue.

"The cast of our drama is very luxurious, including Kung Fu Prince Wu Jing, powerful action actor Yu Rongguang, Tao Xin who just won the title of China's Top 100 TV Artists, Yu Feihong, who has just worked with you, etc., absolutely

A big investment.”

"And it's a big IP, adapted from Gu Long's original novels "Tianya Mingyue Sword" and "Meteor Butterfly Sword"."

"There are forty episodes in total. Then we combined your situation and the initial salary is 3,000 yuan per episode. What do you think?"

When Lou Nan came up, he boasted about his drama and made an offer.

At first glance, it seems that the salary is very high. Forty episodes are equivalent to 120,000 yuan, which is several times higher than the 30,000 yuan in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

But that’s not actually how it works.

Generally speaking, there are two calculation methods for actors' remuneration:

One is based on the number of episodes. The two parties negotiate to set the per-episode remuneration based on the number of episodes of the actor's role in the play. The calculation of the number of episodes depends on the contract. For example, each episode must appear in at least five games.

Counted as one episode.

The other is packaging, which means that the producer first lets the actors read the script and inform them of the role they will play in the play, and then both parties negotiate a total remuneration based on how long it will take for the character to film all the scenes.

Just imagine, if there are a dozen first-line actors in a certain episode of a certain drama, and their appearance counts as one episode, how much money will it cost.

As for Fu Hongxue, the second male lead, the number of appearances in 20 episodes is not bad, so the amount is about 60,000 yuan.

This salary is in line with Lu Bu's current price.

"Thank you Director Lou for your kind invitation. I have to stay with the team for a while, so I can read the script and think about it. What do you think?" Lu Bu did not agree directly, but pushed.

Yes, what he had thought before was that in order to increase his popularity, as long as a movie came to him, he would do it no matter what.

However, I had a lot of conversations with Xia Yu and the others about acting in the past few days, and my thoughts have changed slightly.

The key to drama is not "more" but "fine", and we must win with quality.

Lou Nan was a little surprised, thinking that it would be easy to sign an actor like him who had no company and was relatively popular just after his debut. But everyone said so, so he couldn't force the signing, so he had to say: "No problem, I'll leave you a phone number."

, you can call me directly after you think about it."

Lu Bu spoke politely: "I'm sorry for asking you to travel so far in person."

Lou Nan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay."

After seeing the group off, Yuan Heping came over and asked what was going on, and Lu Bu told him frankly.

"This is your decision." Yuan Heping did not intervene, but only gave some information he knew: "You said that the directors of this drama are Lou Nan and Zhang Pengyi. I don't know Lou Nan, but I am quite familiar with Zhang Pengyi. He directed it.

Most of the film works are martial arts action films, and many of them are adapted from Gu Long's works, so there is no problem with his ability."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll read the script first and then make a decision."

Yuan Heping added: "Since your role in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been completed, please leave the crew's affairs aside for the time being and deal with your own affairs with peace of mind."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Eight."

With Yuan Heping's accommodation, he took the script directly back to his residence to study it.

after an hour.

Lu Bu frowned and put down the script. He took a towel and went to the faucet to wash his face with cold water to calm himself down.

Lou Nan said it was adapted from "Tianya Mingyue Dao" and "Meteor Butterfly Sword", but in fact there are also "Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Border Town Prodigal", "Xiao Shiyilang", "Sentimental Swordsman and Ruthless Sword"

"Characters in etc."

The whole hodgepodge of ancient dragons should be more appropriately called "The Legend of Ancient Dragon Heroes".

Moreover, the plot is very bloody.

In the story, Fu Hongxue fell in love with Shangguan Bo's daughter Die Wu. The two fell in love at first sight. They thought they were going to stay together, but Fu Hongxue gave up Die Wu to Ye Kai, and then fell in love with Ming Yue Xin. Ming Yue Xin originally had a crush on Fu Hongxue.

They had a good impression and when the two were about to get married, Mingyue Xin fell in love with Meng Xinghun again.

Meng Xinghun was deeply in love with Boss Gao, but slowly fell in love with Mingyue Xin. Later, Boss Gao died, and Mingyue Xin and Meng Xinghun were able to be together. Then, Meng Xinghun died again, and Fu Hongxue wanted to marry him again.

Ming Yue Xin was together, but Ming Yue Xin chose to leave Fu Hongxue.

As for the previous Die Wu, she had always been in love with Fu Hongxue, and later she fell in love with Ye Kai, but she could not forget Fu Hongxue. When she forgot that Fu Hongxue fell in love with Ye Kai, she was killed by her father Shangguan Bo. Ye Kai finally

Nothing was caught.

The emotional drama in this drama is more complicated than a love triangle. It's so messy that I love you, but you love him. It's so stupid that you can't figure it out.

"What the hell..."

Lu Bu couldn't calm down even after washing his face with cold water.

The script was too outrageous and he thought it was inappropriate to participate in it.
