" Deer Ding Ji " completed the filming plan as early as last year. It is expected to be broadcast by the end of this year. Unlike the high-profile cast of Jin Yong's drama in the past, the list of actors in the 2020 version is impervious, except for Zhang Yishan and Tang Yixin. No one knows who the role is. The low-key style of
is in sharp contrast to the "Lu Ding Ji casting storm" that was raging 14 years ago. However, with so much publicity and hype in the early stage, this version is still inevitable from the collapse of reputation.
In 2006, Luo Haiqiong , Xiao Qiang, Ren Quan, Fan Bingbing resigned collectively. You must know that these people have already appeared at the "Deer and Ding Ji" press conference. The outside world agreed that they will play the role, just when the media wants to learn more about the truth. , They have the same caliber: "It has nothing to do with the salary, and the schedule is not in line."
And here, the unfamous second-generation star Du Chun publicly bombarded Zhang Jizhong, "the casting is shady, the actors are all set by default", and the "Lu Ding Ji casting show" is a scam.
So, today we set our sights on 2006 to see what is going on in this "true or false" casting contest?
1. The usual "propaganda means"
At that time, Liu Yifei's version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was in hot screenings. Although the quality of the series was mixed, the series was really popular, and not only won the whole year in the Hong Kong market. The third good result, and entered Japan and South Korea, and sparked the discussion of "Little Dragon Girl".
Actually, this drama should have been popular before it was broadcast. Only the corner of "Little Dragon Girl" slipped 8 people, such as Zhou Xun, Jiang Qinqin, etc. Nie Yuan did not hesitate to cut his cheeks for Yang Guo, chief producer Zhang Jizhong fully mobilized the enthusiasm of netizens , Cast an actor vote on the Internet, the last few fans scolded, the whole drama is very popular.
arrived in "The Deer and Ding Ji", and Zhang Jizhong, who was well versed in this "propaganda method", decided to repeat the same trick. In Mr. Jin Yong's original work, Wei Xiaobao is the core character of the book. Chen Xiaochun and Liang Chaowei have played before. This time Zhang Jizhong has run a huge "Wei Xiaobao" draft. The standard of
is: Regardless of seniority, just be suitable, he said that it is best to be a newcomer, seventeen or eight years old. For this reason, many "little treasures" with actor dreams rushed into the crew.
includes the bag Bell . At the time, he was still a little-known actor. Out of his love for Wei Xiaobao, he shaved his hair to participate in the audition, and successfully entered the top ten. After a period of martial arts training, these ten people were all dismissed.
The unwilling Bao Beier contacted the deputy director with the help of a friend, but the other party rejected him on the grounds of "no hype value" and "default".
Bao Beier posted a message on the Internet for help. The young and energetic he exploded all the causes and consequences of the matter. The reporter who heard the news went to verify Zhang Jizhong. Zhang Jizhong was furious: "It's just a nonsense."
people were light-hearted, and Bao Beier's post sank after a few days of fermentation on the Internet. In the following year, he did not receive a new drama.
The "Wei Xiaobao" draft was over, and Zhang Jizhong turned his head and said he was looking for a capable actor. Netizens then voted for Deng Chao . At that time, he had already secured the throne of the new generation of powerful actors in the mainland with "The Younger Son" and "Happiness is Like a Flower".
is popular and has acting skills, so it's perfect.
When Zhang Jizhong and director Yu Min were interviewed by the media, they repeatedly affirmed Deng Chao, "He is really good, and he is most likely to play Wei Xiaobao." Deng Chao himself was very excited when he heard the news from the media, "Zhang Jizhong is an insider that I respect very much, and I especially look forward to playing Wei Xiaobao."
However, only one month has passed when Deng Chao’s former owner, Pearl Media, suddenly announced that he had never received an invitation, and he had not even received the script.
Immediately afterwards, at the press conference of the TV series "Love, Lost", Deng Chao publicly talked about Wei Xiaobao, "I take the initiative to give up because of respect for the audience."
Later, Huang Xiaoming, who was not so loud, entered the group to try on makeup, which convinced netizens.The previous operation was just hype.
Aiming at Zhang Jizhong’s fame, Du Chun specially asked for a day off to audition for the Kangxi role in "The Deer and Ding Ji". Zhang Jizhong was full of praise for him; he was full of confidence and transferred to Beijing overnight after 7 days and put on the show. The service performed once in front of the leaders of the investor Huayi Brothers.
received two feedbacks of "you must", but unexpectedly, the play announced that Ren Quan will appear in Kangxi. Feeling deceived, Du Chun directly reprimanded Zhang Jizhong: "It's all a guise, a scam, and all the actors announced are from Huayi." As soon as
said this, public opinion was in an uproar. Deng Chao's resignation seemed to have found the reason. Huayi Brothers wanted to poach Deng Chao and use Wei Xiaobao as a bait, but he chose to give up because of Mingzhu's cultivation.
Only two years later, these two were still taken by Huayi, so there was the follow-up "Yitian Slaying the Dragon" (Deng Chao version), but Du Chun and Zhang Jizhong did not shake hands and made peace. Oneself was shaved, and one said that the other party had no artistic virtue.
In addition to the two male characters, Wei Xiaobao's seven wives are also top priorities. The stunning beauty Akko has set Fan Bingbing from the beginning. She admitted that she really likes Akko.
Huayi’s boss Luo Haiqiong will play the role of Chen Yuanyuan, the "iron triangle" Zhang Guoli, Zhang Tielin, and Wang Gang will also participate, and Li Bingbing and Shu Chang will also join. Sure enough, the candidates were all close to Huayi, but in the end Fan Bingbing resigned with a high profile because of lack of time. None of Li Bingbing, Luo Haiqiong, and the "iron triangle" were on the list. Was it a smoke bomb deliberately released by the show, or was there a conflict between the actor and the producer?
First came to see Fan Bingbing. The next year, she left Huayi on her own. Zhang Guoli, one of the "iron triangles", did not establish close cooperation with Huayi until 11 years. However, after a few days of shooting, Ren Quan left the scene urgently. , Zhong Hanliang just starred in Kangxi.
, the Chinese lady Wang Qian who participated in Yahoo's search star, had participated in the role selection of "The Deer and Ding Ji". She accused the casting of the role as a pretense, just to create momentum for the TV series, and the participating actors must sign Huayi, otherwise it was just a pass.
Look carefully at the cast of "The Deer and Ding Ji", 80% of them have heard the news of joining Huayi, such as Ying Caier, He Zhuoyan and so on. It can be seen that the game behind the casting of a drama is all capital operating, and the audience is the target of being fooled. If
can focus on the script, Huang Xiaoming's "Deer and Ding Ji" will not be so bad. It only focuses on commercial interests and ignores the connotation of the work. This is an important reason for the decline of Zhang Jizhong's Jin Yong drama.
