45. Press Conference
It is August and the autumn is clear and cool.
[Legend of Sword and Fairy] The recruitment of actors has finally ended.
In the end, the role of Tang Yu Xiaobao was taken down by Taiwanese newcomer Peng Yuyan, while Lin Yueru chose another newcomer from Taiwan, An Yixuan.
As the popular character in this work, Li Xiaoyao was lucky enough to fall into the hands of Hu Ge, a young actor under Tangren.
Coincidentally, Cai Yinon mainly brought another Tangren actor to the interview that day. As for Hu Ge, this newcomer who had just joined Tangren Film and Television was just brought by Cai Yinon to see the world and make a small role.
However, when he was trying out costumes in ancient costumes, Ye Sumang happened to pass by the dressing room and saw the costumes of two actors. The actors Cai Yinon originally recommended did not attract Ye Sumang's gaze. Instead, Hu Ge's appearance made Ye Sumang feel his eyes lit up. He immediately discussed with Cai Yinon and finally decided that it was this sexy young man.
When Hu Ge first got the news, he was a little confused. Why did the male protagonist fall on his head? However, Cai Yinon told him clearly that he was appointed by the director, which made him realize that the male protagonist fell from the sky and fell on his head.
Many years later, Hu Ge has become a top male actor in the Chinese film and television industry, but every time he is interviewed by a TV station, he can't help but thank someone when talking about this legendary experience, that is, Ye Sumang, whom he regards as the "destined nobleman".
In this way, the starring actors of [Legend of Sword and Fairy] are basically all newcomers, but in terms of supporting roles, many powerful actors have joined.
For example, she is a Hong Kong actor, Xie Junhao, known as the "drama madman", Zheng Peipei, who is regarded as the "martial arts queen", and many others, such as Xu Jinjiang, Tan Yaowen, and Guo Liang, can all be regarded as veteran actors in the drama industry, which also gives the show full confidence.
The crew finally assembled in early August and all went to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
At the same time, the press conference will be held after the crew moves into Suhang City.
On the day of the press conference, the crew rented a reception hall in the hotel, which was filled with reporters from hundreds of media. It was obvious that they all came for the name [Legend of Sword and Fairy].
You should know that this game, which is recognized by players as a "unique work", will be adapted into a TV series, which has really attracted the attention of many media.
The achievements made by [Legend of Sword and Fairy] over the years are definitely the most shining star in the Chinese gaming industry. The media can also find many highlights in it, such as whether the story itself respects the original work or reforms and innovations, whether the actors of the role can match the image in the players' minds, etc. It can be said that the TV series has been filled with news before it even started filming.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Sumang and others arrived at the scene on time.
Sitting on the rostrum, Cai Yinon, the producer of the TV series this time, the original Yao Zhuangxian and five main actors in the play, of course, Ye Sumang, as the director, is also among them.
The media reporters in the audience kept taking photos of several people, especially Ye Sumang and Liu Yifei. Their appearances were outstanding and attracted the most attention of the media.
However, as soon as the press conference started and the host just introduced Ye Sumang, the media became a rumbling crowd.
Because they really didn't expect that the beautiful and inconspicuous boy sitting on the rostrum was the director of this TV series!?
"What's the situation? He's actually the director and not the leading actor!"
"Yes, I kept filming him just now, and I also regarded him as the male lead."
"What are you waiting for? Let's check his information for me!!!"
"The director of [Night Store]? I said why did he hear his name sound so familiar?"
The media who got the resume found out that this boy was so big. It turned out to be the director of the previous movie [Night Store] that created a box office miracle!!!
Big news, definitely big news!!!
The media did not expect that they would get such an unexpected surprise at the press conference.
Because of the investment in the nightclub, no media was invited to promote the movie. The media also wanted to interview Ye Sumang afterwards, but in the end they had no choice but to give up because they couldn't find anyone. Unexpectedly, this person actually popped up by himself and became the director of a popular TV series.
At this moment, his age, appearance, and even his background are the focus of attention of the media, because this is really newsworthy.
Some media at the scene even raised their hands and couldn't wait to ask questions.
Amid the noise of the media, the press conference was interrupted for a full five minutes before it could continue. However, the media's eyes were all aimed at Ye Sumang sitting in the middle of the rostrum.
Amid the expectations of the on-site media reporters, the opening ceremony ended, and the host finally announced that he had entered the questioning session.
The media's names were pointed one by one, and as expected, the fingers were all pointed at Ye Sumang.
"Director Ye, I am a reporter from Mango Daily. With your appearance, why did you become a director instead of an actor?"
"Appearance is a gift from my parents, but the director is my personal hobby. If you don't look good, you must be an actor. In addition, please ask the reporters to mention more topics related to this TV series. After all, this is the press conference of [Legend of Sword and Fairy]."
"So Director Ye, we all know that you have successfully directed the comedy movie [Night Store] before, but [Legend of Sword and Fairy] is a TV series with the theme of martial arts and love. What confidence do you have to believe that you can grasp this type?"
"It's better to do it than to say it. At that time, the TV series will be filmed and it will be more fair for everyone to comment after watching it."
"Director Ye, I want to ask..."
Facing the guns of many media, Ye Sumang seemed particularly calm. The media's problems were tricky, off topic, and down-to-earth, but he could easily deal with them in a few words. The newcomers beside Tang looked at them with admiration.
After answering more than a dozen questions, Ye Sumang finally stopped and drank a sip of water. Looking at the media below who were still asking questions, he couldn't help but joke: "Okay, there are enough questions for me. Today is the press conference of [Legend of Sword and Fairy]. Are you going to publish an exclusive interview about me tomorrow? You must know that these actors here are the stars of tomorrow in the future. If you can't get any things back today, your editor-in-chief will kill you after the TV series starts broadcast..."
"Hahaha!" Ye Sumang's relaxed teasing made the reporters at the entire press conference laugh. They finally realized that they were indeed too persistent in interviewing Ye Sumang and forgot the topic.
After a relaxed burst of laughter, the press conference finally got into the focus. This time the media also pointed to the starring actors of [Legend of Sword and Fairy].
Among the five starring actors of [Legend of Sword and Fairy], there are three newcomers, and the other two An Yixuan and Jiang Xin are only about newcomers in several TV series. So for the first time, I can't help but feel a little nervous.
However, it has become the focus of many media, which also makes them very excited. In addition, Cai Yinon has guided them in how to speak at a press conference before, so everyone performed well in the end.
When the newspaper came out the next day, the headlines of the entertainment version basically turned into a special show of [Legend of Sword and Fairy]...
Chapter completed!
