On April 10th, "Marrying the Right Man on the Wrong Sedan Chair" was broadcast.
This drama with only 20 episodes, but it talked about 4 pairs of CPs quickly attracted a certain amount of attention, and several leading actors such as Huang Yi and Nie Yuan became popular.
Speaking of which, more and more newcomers are starting to emerge this year.
At the beginning of the year, "Brilliant Spring Pig Bajie", followed by "Daming Palace Ci", and now "Marrying the Right Man on the Wrong Sedan Chair", has attracted a lot of young actors.
In addition, Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru, Zhou Jie, Lu Yi and others who became popular last year.
At the turn of the century, the post-70s began to formally enter the show business circle, "competing for power" with their predecessors.
Cao Xuan is still very concerned about the drama "Marrying the Right Man on the Wrong Sedan Chair", not only because he almost participated in it.
More importantly, Juanzi, one of the heroines of this show, is now starring in "Journey to the West" Fairy Biyou.
Cao Xuan didn't change her back then, his idea was to see if he could gain popularity and sell her more.
"Journey to the West" was launched in early February, and the shooting progress is still considerable. In addition, the number of episodes itself is small, and it is estimated that it will be almost completed by the end of May or early June.
Although there will be some special effects production, the special effects these days are just that, and it doesn't take much time.
Therefore, Fanxing has already begun preparations for the release of "Journey to the West".
Qin Xingtai introduced it on purpose, but the price was slightly lower, with only a budget of 80,000 an episode. Cao Xuan planned to grind it out, and no matter what, it would cost 100,000 an episode.
"Journey to the West" has only 25 episodes, with an investment of 5 million+, and sold to Qin Shengtai for 100,000 episodes, which can almost return half of the cost.
Cao Xuan has a good relationship with Beijing TV. He can also talk to Lu Sheng TV in his hometown. He also knows a few people in Modu TV. They are all well-capitalized TV stations. As long as he can sell one, this drama will not loss.
"Journey to the West" lacks publicity hotspots. Although Ren Quan, Hu Jing, and Juanzi are well-known, they have not yet reached the point where they have an absolute boost to the price.
So Cao Xuan never pointed out that "Journey to the West" can earn tens of millions in one go like "Youth Bao Qingtian".
His strategy is to sell as much as possible in the first round, create influence and make money back, and then make money on the second round of broadcasting rights and pre-roll ads.
If the operation is good, I dare not say if there are too many, 15-20 million can still be expected
And at this stage, Cao Xuan also started to switch scenes with "Swordsman", from Xinwu to Suzhou City to shoot new scenes.
The crew hadn't finished setting up the scene yet, so Cao Xuan took half a day off, so he simply took Zeng Li to visit Suzhou City, experienced the garden culture, and even found a home to taste Suzhou City food.
Cao Xuan likes Su Shi big meat thin noodles. The soup is thick and delicious, and the noodles are smooth, which suits his taste very much. Zeng Li prefers crab roe buns. She likes seafood such as shrimp and crab.
Before returning to the set, Cao Xuan specially packed a few cakes and planned to distribute them to a few acquaintances.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the hotel, he saw Zhang with a big beard running over in a hurry, grabbed him and dragged him to a certain room.
"Where did you go, come with me."
"Why, this is it."
Cao Xuan was taken aback, his girlfriend was still watching, the influence was not good.
"What nonsense, Mr. Jin Yong has arrived and said he wants to see you."
"ah?"
The news came so fast, Cao Xuan was a little confused, and asked Zeng Li to go back to his room to wait for him, and then followed Zhang Dazi to a conference room in the hotel.
Huang Jianzhong, Xu Qing, and Weizi have already arrived, and they are talking around a slightly round old man with his hair combed back and wearing glasses.
The master of martial arts novels, Jin Yong, officially established the martial arts culture of the entire Chinese circle.
"Mr. Cha, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here, but I just went out."
"Do not worry about it."
Jin Yong was very kind, looked at Cao Xuan up and down, smiled and said: "They showed me your photo before, and I thought you were pretty. Today I saw you in person, and found that you are even more beautiful than the photo."
"Then do you think my role as Linghu Chong is in line with your vision?"
"conform to."
Jin Yong nodded: "Linghu Chong must be handsome and chic, otherwise why Ren Yingying and Yilin fell in love with him as soon as they met."
"You are always right."
Cao Xuan was very happy to be recognized by the author of the original work, but he also knew that the old man's aesthetics did not represent everything.
Jin Yong has expressed his views on many Jin Yong actors, many of which are contrary to public perception.

While the filming of "Swordsman" was in full swing, the 11th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards was also held on April 18.
Compared with the previous nominations, Cao Xuan, who had completely opened up the Taiwanese market in October last year, won four nominations this year.
And there is news from Warner that Cao Xuan has a chance to win an award this time, and has a chance to win two.
However, Cao Xuan did not go to the awards ceremony. On the one hand, he was busy, and on the other hand, he was too sensitive, so Cao Xuan didn't want to go into the muddy water.
Therefore, Cao Xuan only recorded a VCR and sent it over. The content was probably to thank the organizing committee for its approval, and he will continue to work hard in the future to show his support.
On the day of the award ceremony, Cao Xuan couldn't receive the ratings signal, so he could only send text messages to Warner to get real-time information.
Lost to Tao Zhe and Chen Jiannian, let Fan Xiaoxuan get it.
After failing three consecutive awards, Cao Xuan thought he didn't go, so the organizing committee simply changed the result, but he didn't expect that the award ceremony with the most influence was finally awarded to him.
I have become the king of golden songs?
Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately retracted the words that last year's Golden Melody Awards were a fart. They are obviously the most valuable awards in the Chinese music scene.
