Chapter 1017: It would be a waste not to take advantage of the popularity of one’s own family

As it turns out, this is really Li Xiaodong.

Just by changing into a Republic of China era look, Li Xiaodong's temperament was completely changed. Lin Fan almost didn't recognize him at first glance.

Liang Wen was also very satisfied: "Li Xiaodong's acting skills have improved a lot in recent times. There were some signs of this when he was filming the previous movie, but that script was a modern script, so the contrast was not very obvious. But in this drama, once the overall look was changed, his whole mental outlook was completely different."

Liang Wen was very pleased with Li Xiaodong's progress.

Because Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang came to Lin Fan's movie together to make a cameo appearance, and Liang Wen thought that Li Xiaodong's acting skills were not as good as Lu Bingyang's at that time.

Although Lu Bingyang's acting skills were average at that time, at least he could be said to have acting skills and acting experience. But Li Xiaodong really had no acting skills at all, and it was all thanks to Lin Fan's little by little training that he was able to finish the short tens of seconds of the plot.

Liang Wen once thought that Lin Fan's efforts were in vain.

But slowly, with Li Xiaodong's progress, Liang Wen gradually changed his mind: although some people are not from professional backgrounds, nor are they talented players, they can still reach a very good level through hard work.

For example, Li Xiaodong.

Another example is Lu Bingyang.

Of course, if we have to compare, then Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang are not as good as Zhou Xiang.

Zhou Xiang's acting skills may not be better than the other two, but at least she is far ahead of them. Moreover, Zhou Xiang is a professional actor, very talented, willing to work hard and patient. As long as she keeps this learning attitude, her future achievements will definitely not be comparable to those of Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang.

Not to mention, Lin Fan had already prepared enough excellent scripts for Zhou Xiang early on, and was just waiting for Zhou Xiang to grow up so that he could monetize these resources.

I have to admit that the resources Lin Fan gave to these three friends were really generous. It feels like they are not resource-rich, but better than resource-rich people.

The resource-rich people in the circle can only guarantee that they have much better resources than other artists, but they cannot guarantee that they will become popular with these resources.

There are even many people who have become laughing stocks, and are mocked by the audience for having so many resources but never becoming popular no matter how much they are promoted. This is probably their fate.

But it's different with Lin Fan. Lin Fan really makes everyone he promotes famous. Zhou Xiang became famous with "A Little Thing Called First Love", Li Xiaodong became famous with "Wulin Waijiao", and Lu Bingyang is not much behind. However, Lin Fan still specially designed this period drama that is currently being filmed for him.

Just by reading the script, Liang Wen knew that once this drama was aired, it would definitely be another annual hit.

Who in the industry wouldn't envy such treatment? Only Lin Fan himself doesn't take these things seriously - of course, with big IPs like "Journey to the West" and "Investiture of the Gods" in his hands, as well as the hit "Titanic", Lin Fan really doesn't need to care too much about one or two TV scripts.

But other people care!

Just looking at the various actors hanging around the crew every day, you can tell how many of them want to recommend themselves to Lin Fan under the guise of a "chance encounter."

Unfortunately, these people don't know that Lin Fan has been filming abroad and just came back today. In addition, Lin Fan has a special skill to shake off the paparazzi. As long as Lin Fan doesn't want to, no one can "encounter" him.

After spending ten minutes taking a rough look at his friend's acting skills, Lin Fan was generally very satisfied with him, and he was most satisfied with the director Liang Wen.

Lin Fan had seen the original version of this drama, so even if it was combined with the real local history of Blue Star, the final effect would be closer to the original version.

But Liang Wen is different. Liang Wen has only read the script and has not seen the original version. He relied on his own understanding of the drama and his knowledge of that era on Blue Star to combine them together to shoot a TV series that belongs to Liang Wen, with a native local temperament.

In this regard, Lin Fan is not as good as Liang Wen.

So after confirming that there were no problems with Liang Wen's filming and that his friends' acting skills were all above par, Lin Fan decided to just let it go: "I see you guys are filming very well, so just shoot like this. I believe Director Liang, you will definitely be able to make this drama well."

Liang Wen grabbed Lin Fan, who was about to rub his feet, and said, "You don't care about this?"

Lin Fan pretended to be dumbfounded: "Haven't I already seen it? There's absolutely no problem!"

How can I care if there is no problem? Liang Wen was too lazy to expose Lin Fan's lazy little calculation: "You don't care about the filming, but you have to care about the theme song, right? Although this drama is your script, you have never appeared from beginning to end, so it is not good for us to always use you as the focus of publicity.

This is really stealing the limelight from the protagonist. But if you can solve the theme song, then we can openly take advantage of your popularity! Fat water should not flow to outsiders, Director Lin, it's time to show off your singing skills!"

OK! Another person who urged me to get back to the music industry!

Lin Fan wanted to struggle: "Brother Lu and Xiaodong are also from boy bands. Singing and dancing are their strengths. Let them try."

"You also said that singing and dancing is their strong point, but the theme song is not singing and dancing."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!

Liang Wen explained, "And you thought I didn't let them try? After trying, I found that their singing skills have not improved much over the years. They are okay for rap, but the theme song of a TV series, especially one with such high requirements, is definitely not something they can handle.

The most important thing is, we want to take advantage of your popularity! If you don't sing the theme song, how can we continue to take advantage of your popularity? "

Lin Fan laughed: "If I really don't sing this theme song, will you really stop taking advantage of my popularity?"

Liang Wen immediately shook his head: "That's definitely not possible."

Even if Lin Fan doesn't sing the theme song, he is still the screenwriter of this drama and the boss of this drama. There is no way to avoid him.

Besides, it would be a waste not to take advantage of the popularity of your own people.

Lin Fan didn't want to talk to Liang Wen anymore: You're trying to take advantage of my popularity anyway, why should I sing this theme song? "I have to sing it," Liang Wen refused to give up, "If you don't sing this song, no one else in our company can sing it. Are you going to give your song to outsiders?"

It has to be said that Liang Wen understood what Lin Fan cared about. As soon as the words "cheap outsiders" came out, Lin Fan surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll sing! Is it okay for me to sing?"

It would be better for Lin Fan not to sing his own song and let it gather dust in a safe. He would never give it to outsiders for free.

Yes, I don’t care about money or fame, I just care about the copyright.
