In addition to movies, Huahai Entertainment has not neglected the TV drama business. After all, the audiences of the two are different.

In response to this, Ye Zhiqiu planned to take out the word "天" from "飞雪连天射白鹿，笑书神侠倚碧鸳".

After the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes Trilogy", the most classic martial arts drama is naturally "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

This work also marks an important transformation from "Little Dragon Girl" to "Sister Fairy".

Therefore, the heroine "Wang Yuyan" must be played by Long Yuqing.

In the office, everyone at Huahai Entertainment had already read the script in advance, so naturally they had no objection to it.

Strictly speaking, "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is a work with a "multi-protagonist" narrative, with three parallel main lines: Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Xu Zhu, and there are many charming characters in it.

Therefore, when discussing the casting of other roles, everyone was very enthusiastic.

"Zhiqiu, do you want to play a role in it?" someone suggested.

"I think Duan Yu is a good choice, he is elegant and handsome, and your image is suitable. It just so happens that you and Yu Qing have acted together before, so you have a good understanding and are popular among people."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Ye Zhiqiu.

"Uh..." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head repeatedly, "Forget it, I don't think I can spare the time, let's find another candidate."

To be honest, I personally don’t like the character of Duan Yu very much, although he is still portrayed very well.

In terms of martial arts, this is a numerical monster. Its dodge, lifesucking, and internal strength are all maxed out, and it also has the Six Meridians Divine Sword that is comparable to shooting lasers. But apart from the high numbers, its actual combat is poor.

Emotionally, he is romantic but infatuated. Although he has been entangled with women such as Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, he is also committed to Wang Yuyan.

However, strictly speaking, he is a "bag-up man".

After all, the person Wang Yuyan fell in love with at the beginning was her cousin Murong Fu, who was devoted to pursuing great things. It was not until she was hurt and became disheartened that she "helplessly" chose Duan Yu.

Therefore, the two people's status in the relationship is unequal.

Don’t think that rich second-generations are necessarily strong in relationships. They are no different when it comes to being bootlickers.

From a personal preference point of view, Ye Zhiqiu does not appreciate the character of "Duan Yu" very much. He even thinks that in terms of personality, the character of "Murong Fu" is more outstanding. At least he is persistent enough and dedicated to restoring his country.

In addition to film and television, there is also music.

This is much simpler. As the music director, Ye Zhiqiu is in control of the direction most of the time. Now in Huahai Entertainment, except for key singers such as Yu Caiwei, Ding Jie, and Times Girls, he generally does not need to take any action.

As for Ye Zhiqiu's own endorsements, they were further reduced.

Apart from two or three brands with which he has cooperated for a long time, Ye Zhiqiu has not signed any new endorsement contracts, and even some contracts have not been renewed after they expired.

The main reason is that he is on the set most of the time, and it is not convenient for him to cooperate with the brand's various promotional activities, so it is better not to accept it.

In fact, with Ye Zhiqiu's current popularity and fame, if he is determined to make money, it would not be a problem for him to take on endorsements from various big brands and earn enough money to produce another "The Wandering Earth".

But human energy is limited. In comparison, he would like to leave behind more good works.

At the end of the meeting, there was also news about the film awards ceremony.

In March, the "Huaxia Film Huabiao Award" will be held in Shangjing City. As it is held every two years, many works related to Ye Zhiqiu have been shortlisted for the award.

Unlike award ceremonies such as the Baihua Award and the Golden Image Award, which are hosted by private associations, the Huabiao Award is hosted by the State Film Administration, which means it is an "official" award.

Winning the award can be said to be "official certification" and its value is self-evident.

Ye Zhiqiu also attaches great importance to this award ceremony and will naturally attend it.

"There's one more thing." In the office, Song Mei looked at Yu Caiwei and said.

“During the award ceremony, there was a song performance segment and the organizer contacted us.”

"They mainly want to find a heartfelt song that is more suitable for this kind of occasion. They are interested in your song "Light Chaser" Weiwei and hope you can sing it on stage."

Yu Caiwei did not refuse this. She had performed on stage many similar scenes and did not feel any pressure.

......

Years later, Ye Zhiqiu returned to work again.

In addition to following the post-production progress of "The Wandering Earth", he has also begun preparations for two films he will direct, "Monster Hunt 2" and "Charlotte's Troubles".

According to the plan, "Monster Hunt 2" will start filming first, leaving some time for post-production, and then the simpler low-budget comedy "Charlotte's Troubles" will be filmed.

The male and female protagonists of "Monster Hunt 2" are still him and Yu Caiwei, which makes things much simpler. The more difficult casting was in "Charlotte's Troubles".

The actors’ performance played a decisive role in the final effect of the film.

After all, whether a joke is funny or not can vary greatly depending on who performs it.

On the other hand, as time approaches, the official "Hua Bia Award" also announced the nominated works for each award.

Among them, three works related to Ye Zhiqiu were nominated, namely "No Man's Land", "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" and "Hello! Mr. Tree".

It is worth noting that this time Wang Qiang was nominated for the "Outstanding Actor Award" for his role in "Hello! Mr. Tree".

As the most prestigious film award in the country, the announcement of the nomination list has sparked heated discussions.

"3 films, 4 awards, the most nominated awards this year, Ye Zhiqiu is awesome!"

"This is really awesome, I can't criticize it."

"Wang Qiang has been shortlisted for 'Outstanding Actor'. Is he really going to fulfill his dream of becoming a movie star?"

"It's hard to say, but the possibility is still very high. His acting in Hello! Mr. Tree is really amazing, and this film has a strong social and realistic significance. Some of the things it shows have a certain depth, which is what the judges like to see."

"Hahaha, this is the closest to being the best actor in China, and it's also the one with the highest gold content. I guess Wang Qiang can't sleep now."

In the comment section, in addition to normal discussions, there are also some netizens who are sarcastic or complain about why their favorite works or actors were not shortlisted.

In response to this, many netizens responded bluntly.

"'What's the point of getting the Huabiao Award'...Hahaha, this is the biggest joke I've heard this year."

"This is the most prestigious film award in the country, and this alone is enough."

"This is an official award. Is it possible that someone doesn't understand the difference between 'film and television industry' and 'entertainment industry' to ask why your brother wasn't nominated..."

"In terms of box office, Detective Chinatown, a collaboration between Ye Zhiqiu and Wang Qiang, was higher, but it was not nominated for any award, while Hello! Mr. Tree had 2 nominations. This is the reason."

"To put it simply, what people care about is not the box office. Works that are not good enough and do not have certain social value and significance will not appear on this list."
