"I would like to ask Producer Zhang, as we all know, the 1997 version of TVB's "Dragon" is a classic in the minds of all martial arts fans. Are you confident that you can make a "Dragon" that surpasses the 1997 version?"

"I would like to ask Producer Zhang. Recently, many Jin Yong fans on the Internet have strong opinions on your choice of Mr. Lin Jiying to play the role of Duan Yu. They even claimed that because of Lin Jiying, they would stop watching the TV series. What is your response to this?"

…

As soon as the press conference began, media reporters focused their fire on Zhang Jizhong.

Zhang Jizhong's head was pounding when he heard the reporters' questions one after another.

In July, he tried to send out the preliminary list of characters to do a wave of publicity.

After the list was announced, it immediately aroused a lot of criticism on the Internet.

For this reason, he even complained to reporters on the phone: "The audience has an opinion? Who doesn't the audience have an opinion on? Didn't many people have an opinion when Li Yapeng was cast as Linghu Chong? Now it's a pretty good performance! I think

The audience doesn’t have a problem with anyone, they just have a problem with us making this movie!”

When his words came out, it naturally caused another storm.

However, his complaints are not unreasonable. Many viewers really don't want to see the new version of "Dragon Movie" appear.

The 1997 version of Tian Long Ba Bu is a classic in the minds of countless people. It is the pinnacle in the eyes of many people and is almost impossible to be surpassed.

A drama that can no longer be surpassed, if we insist on remaking it, wouldn’t that ruin the classic and be disgusting?

In addition, although Zhang Jizhong's last movie "The Swordsman" had good statistics, its reputation was a mess and it was notorious. Therefore, many viewers did not want to see him continue filming Jin Yong dramas.

Many reporters at the scene were Kim Yong fans, and since they were tasked with stirring up trouble and creating topics, they were merciless when asking questions.

Zhang Jizhong took the microphone with a dark face, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "The movie hasn't been filmed yet, so there is no objection to who is rated higher or lower.

But I, Zhang Jizhong, can guarantee that the version of "Tian Long Ba Bu" I produced must be the best one!

I know you want to hear me say this, and I dare to say that there is nothing hidden.

If I didn’t have this confidence, I simply wouldn’t do this job.”

After a pause, he glanced at Lin Zhiying, who looked embarrassed at the actor's table, and said seriously: "In addition, I believe in my vision, and I also believe in Mr. Lin Zhiying's strength. I believe that he will not let everyone down."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiying quickly stood up, bowed to the media, and said with a smile: "I am honored to be recognized by Producer Zhang, and I am also honored to play the role of Duan Yu.

In order to play this role well, I wrote a biography of more than 30,000 words. I believe I can play this role well, and I hope everyone can give me a chance.

I will let everyone see the most restored version of Duan Yu, thank you all."

He behaved very modestly and was quite polite to reporters.

There is no way, he also knows that his reputation is not very good, and he has heard the opinions of netizens.

He is a singer by background. The only TV series he had starred in before was "The Two Prodigies" with Su Youpeng, in which he played Jiang Xiaoyu.

Because of his exaggerated acting skills, after the film was released, he has been criticized by the audience, saying that he can't act.

Therefore, after learning that he would play the role of Duan Yu, netizens ridiculed: "It's a bit of a waste to let Lin Zhiying, who can only wink, play the role of a sentimental, sentimental and handsome young man."

What I fear most is that he will overdo it with his cleverness as Xiao Yu'er and turn Duan Yu's "Lingbo Weibu" into a "somersault cloud".

What’s even more pity is, if he is not playful, will it make people think that he is too old?”

In the minds of the audience, they hope that Ren Chan, who played the role of Gongsun Ce in "Young Bao Qingtian 1 and 2", will play Duan Yu, thinking that Ren Chan's image is more suitable for the character.

Not only did netizens have strong opinions on him, but the producers also didn't take a fancy to him in the first place.

The producers are interested in young actor Lu Yi and have also contacted newcomer Zhang Chao.

However, Lu Yi once refused the role of Yang Kang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" using schedule issues as an excuse, and the producers were afraid of encountering the same fate.

As for Zhang Chao, he was too new and not well-known. In the end, after much deliberation, he settled on Lin Zhiying.

Lin Zhiying also knew that this opportunity was hard to come by. He also wanted to use this drama to open up the mainland market, so he attached great importance to this drama and kept his profile very low.

However, although he kept a low profile, the reporters had no intention of letting him go.

The next few reporters asked him questions.

"I would like to ask Mr. Lin Zhiying, how do you plan to perform it to surpass Chen Haoming's Duan Yu in the TVB version?"

"I would like to ask Mr. Lin Zhiying, you are 13 years older than Liu Yifei, but you want to call her fairy sister. Will this be a psychological barrier for you?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Lin Zhiying..."

As questions were asked one after another, Lin Zhiying stood behind the microphone, looking increasingly embarrassed.

However, the entertainment industry in Wanwan is much more developed than in the Mainland, and there are more gray means of buying notices, tearing up stories, and exposing scandalous materials, which is even more destructive.

Although these questions were sharp, Lin Zhiying dealt with them easily and answered them flawlessly.

Seeing that he was invulnerable, the reporter who asked the next question suddenly noticed Murong Fu sitting on the right side of the actor's seat, bored and playing with the folding fan in his hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I would like to ask Producer Zhang, Mu Rong, who plays Murong Fu in your production, according to the data, he is only 21 years old this year. Why did you choose him to play Murong Fu?

Readers who have read Tian Long Ba Bu should know that Murong Fu was already thirty-seven or eighteen years old when he appeared on the stage.

Judging from the age, Mu Rong is obviously more suitable to play the role of Duan Yu, why not let Mu Rong play Duan Yu?"

Hearing his question, everyone's attention instantly shifted to Mu Rong.

Mu Rong was not interested in this press conference at all. He was distracted and thinking about whether he should buy a plane or a yacht first when he got rich, but suddenly he found countless scorching eyes looking over him. He was startled and raised his head in confusion.

Come.

After seeing his face clearly, the reporters at the scene suddenly buzzed and started whispering.

"Eh? I feel like Mu Rong is more handsome!"

"That's right! Mu Rong's overall temperament is more noble, why not let him play Duan Yu?"

"Lin Zhiying's appearance is still more modern and childlike, unlike Mu Rong who is more classical."

…

Listening to their whispers, Murong Fu frowned slightly.

You want me, Murong Fu, to play that silly boy Duan Yu?

What a joke!

On the side of the conference hall, Li Xue, who was waiting in the staff chair, looked at the reporters whispering and felt very nervous.

This is killing someone with a borrowed knife!

These reporters obviously wanted to use Lin Zhiying as a target and stir up trouble.

But to have a target, you need a gun and bullets. At this time, you need to find a gun.

The reporter obviously wanted to think of Mu Rong as the gun used to attack Lin Zhiying. If Mu Rong didn't find out and stepped on the trap, it would be over!

Even if Lin Zhiying is not recognized by Jin Yong's fans, she is still a popular fried chicken on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and is not comparable to a newcomer of Mu Rong's level.

If it is revealed that Mu Rong and Lin Zhiying compete for roles, Mu Rong will definitely be criticized!

So, she quickly stood up, gestured and winked at Mu Rong.

However, Mu Rong did not see her actions.

He took the initiative to pick up the microphone and said: "I am playing Murong Fu, not Duan Yu, and I will not play Duan Yu, because I am Murong Fu!"

Hearing his conversation, Li Xue immediately covered her forehead helplessly.

Still too young.

You're hooked!
