The grand drama has ended, but Yi Tianzhao's ordeal has only just begun.
Yang Huanyi's side has already been replaced by CTS, and Yi Tianzhao didn't even have a chance to speak.
Changing the lead actress midway through a film series is a major taboo. Especially when it's the female lead who gets replaced!
After this wave of rights protection and fan abuse, the already large number of Xiao Fengque's fans has grown even stronger. The number of people in Xiao Fengque's super topic has surged from 4,000 to 20,000. Feathers (Xiao Fengque's new generation of fans) and Phoenix Fans (Xiao Fengque's old fans) are constantly monitoring Yi Tianzhao's Weibo, forcing Yi Tianzhao to temporarily enable one-click protection.
The pressure from higher-ups was even more intense. "Tianji Tower" sparked public debate, attracting attention from all sectors of society. For the "One Hundred Flowers Blooming" project (a project aimed at promoting diverse talents and ideas), this was both a good thing and a pressure; an opportunity and a challenge.
If the filming is good, then everyone will reap the rewards; if it's bad, then CTS's reputation will be ruined, and we'll all be left starving.
With a tight schedule and heavy workload, the second part of "Phoenix Plays with Dragon" must start filming within a month.
Yi Tianzhao used all his connections to contact several actresses. Without exception, the result was always a polite refusal.
TV movies are not theatrical films; they don't have box office revenue to back them up, so artists with some standing would never consider them their first choice. Also, the timeline is too tight; not many artists have suitable schedules.
Furthermore, not everyone can portray Xiao Fengque. Hiring a frail, delicate performer to dance the "Tender Feelings Sword" dance wouldn't be as effective as Yang Huanyi. Yi Tianzhao didn't want to be criticized again!
Simply put, the artists that Yi Tien-chao and CTS (China Television System) approve of don't approve of this movie; and the artists that approve of this movie, Yi Tien-chao and CTS don't approve of.
Another important reason is that Yang Huanyi had already starred in the first installment of "Tianji Tower." While it can't be called a masterpiece, it certainly set a bad precedent. If subsequent actors can't even surpass Yang Huanyi, wouldn't that be a disgrace to themselves and CTS (China Television System)?
Yang Huanyi is already one of the few second-tier female action stars in China. Even she can't satisfy the group of fierce fans of the original work. How much weight do the others have to be confident that they can surpass her?
If she doesn't act well, she might even end up helping Yang Huanyi out!
Did you take on this movie because you think your life is too comfortable? Haven't you been criticized enough? Or do you feel the Weibo comment section is too cold and need a few hundred or a few thousand bloodthirsty fans of the original work to warm you up?
Due to a combination of factors, the "Phoenix Plays with Dragon" IP has gone from being a highly sought-after project to a mess, falling from a cultural project to an unfinished project.
Yi Tianzhao was so anxious that several strands of his hair turned white.
She was anxious, but her boss was even more anxious.
The "One Hundred Flowers Bloom" project could not possibly be entrusted to just one person. There were dozens of other people competing with the leader to work on this project, one-third of whom, like Yi Tianzhao's leader, were specifically responsible for television and film projects.
The adapted works are all based on excellent popular literature, so most of them are of good quality. After "Tianji Tower" aired, the movie channel continued to broadcast a new TV movie as part of the "Hundred Flowers Bloom Project" every night, and most of them achieved remarkable results.
Currently, "Tianji Tower" ranks third from the bottom in viewership ratings among all the projects aired in this project, and last in terms of critical reception. The only bright spot is that online discussion has broken the three-year record for the movie channel, but unfortunately, all the discussions are negative.
Yi Tianzhao's superiors have felt embarrassed and ashamed while working at the headquarters these past two days.
Under such multiple pressures, the entire "Tianji Tower" project team was filled with a sense of anxious despair.
