Chapter 506
Liu Tao picked up a pillow and smashed it at Xu Feng’s head.
Ouch, isn't this face-changing a bit too fast?
PS: The author is currently following *Jackie Chan Adventures*; it’s very interesting but doesn't feel very suitable for writing into a novel.
Please give me some more time, I’ll try again.
This incident with Liu Tao reminded Xu Feng to be a bit more restrained recently.
After all, *Ultraman Tiga* is about to be released.
Daigo’s image is a standard type of greatness, light, and righteousness.
As an actor, although he doesn't need to maintain the persona of a gentleman like in the show, the difference can't be too big, right?
After all, the purpose of the show *Tiga* is to convey positive energy to children and teenagers.
For the dignified protagonist to have scandals every three days, it feels like slapping his own face.
But fortunately, *Tiga* hasn't aired yet, and there will soon be new hot topics to help Xu Feng divert attention.
*Da Yao Rejects Jay Chou’s New Drama Invitation*
Oh, good guy, after Xu Feng saw this news, he directly called out “good guy.”
It feels like this guy Jay Chou, aside from music, really has no talent in film and television.
He is a bit curious, who did Jay Chou want Da Yao to play when he approached him?
Fire God or Akashi?
Damn, it’s all full of dissonance, okay?
Xu Feng immediately called Jay Chou.
“Are you kidding me? The selling point of *Kuroko’s Basketball* isn't just basketball, it’s also selling BL. If you want to find actors, you have to find handsome guys to play them, understand?”
Xu Feng directly scolded Jay Chou.
It feels like this guy hasn't penetrated at all why this manga *Kuroko’s Basketball* was able to stand out in the shadow of its predecessor *Slam Dunk*.
It relies on playing with superpowers and selling BL, these two points.
Basic actions like layups by small characters basically didn't appear once in the whole series.
Each team averages one or two people who are just over 1.7 meters tall.
And in *Slam Dunk*, except for Ryota Miyagi, there are basically no people shorter than 1.8 meters.
This is the difference between hardcore and casual.
Secondly, none of the guys playing basketball in *Kuroko’s Basketball* are ugly.
They are all handsome guys; if you didn't know, you’d think it was a male model team.
And *Slam Dunk*… Takenori Akagi, Uozumi, Maki, damn, they look more abstract than the next.
It’s very realistic.
Barkley once complained about Jordan: Damn, there are people who suck up to Jordan and say he’s handsome. Damn, he’s handsome my ass. When your net worth is 300 million or 500 million dollars, everyone will say you’re handsome too.
Hmm, it’s very realistic.
And the hard indicator for choosing actors for *Kuroko’s Basketball* is just one—
Choose handsome guys!
After listening to Xu Feng’s advice, Jay Chou’s whole face drooped.
Although as a die-hard straight man, he instinctively didn't want to do this.
But he also knew that after his superpower basketball core drama aired, at least half of the audience would be women.
He could only compromise with the market.
However, Xu Feng felt that it would be difficult for *Kuroko’s Basketball* to reach the popularity of his past life.
The Kuroko played by Jay Chou is the same as the Kikyo played by Liu Shishi before.
Although their temperaments are quite compatible, the looks… to be honest, are a bit lacking.
And even with makeup, Jay Chou is an old man approaching forty; will fujoshis still be into his looks?
It would be good enough to film the superpower basketball part well.
After all, leaving aside the selling BL part, Meteor Jam, Phantom Shot, and Zone are indeed cool.
Just like *The Prince of Tennis*, Xu Feng also felt that the BL flavor became heavier in the later stages, but he never denied that the Cyclone Smash, Tightrope Walking, and Tezuka Zone were cool as hell.
……
……
Time officially enters August.
Xu Feng’s new work, *Ultraman Tiga*, which takes over the banner from *Naruto*, is also about to premiere.
For this week or so, Xu Feng has really quieted down and hasn't caused any trouble.
Besides building momentum for *Tiga*, he just leaked the preparation news for the two dramas *Kuroko’s Basketball* and *The Prince of Tennis* from time to time to divert attention.
Many viewers went to the official website of the two-dimensional film and television company.
Seeing the three dramas the company is preparing, they all had question marks on their faces.
*Kuroko’s Basketball*, *The Prince of Tennis*, *Slam Dunk*
A sports trilogy, right?
Is Xu Feng obsessed with balls?
Emmm… Xu Feng indicated that he does indeed like balls, but he likes playing with two balls together even more.
Although there are good works that honestly do sports without selling BL, like *Haikyuu!!* and *Run with the Wind*.
But sorry, your popularity is a bit low.
We have to make a living, right?
……
……
“Brother Feng, I, can I really be the protagonist?”
When Xu Feng indicated that he could give the role of Ryoma to Wu Lei, this kid was so excited he almost knelt down to Xu Feng.
Although he leaped to become a representative actor born after 95 with the role of “Uchiha Sasuke.”
But wanting to get the protagonist of Xu Feng’s drama is still not an easy task.
Because Xu Feng basically doesn't look at status when choosing actors; he looks more at the actor’s acting skills and whether the other party’s own image fits the role.
“Your face is still more suitable than Peng Yuchang and Zhang Yishan.”
Xu Feng said calmly.
Although Peng Yuchang played Ryoma Echizen in his past life, that thing was a magic-modified version, which was a far cry from the original.
And Zhang Yishan goes without saying, the Liu Xing version of Ryoma Echizen?
Holy crap, I can't bear to look, okay?
The only regret is that this kid Wu Lei’s legs aren't short enough.
After all, in the original character setting, Ryoma Echizen is a shorty.
But there’s really no way around this; now the kids born after 2000 and 2010 are growing like crazy.
Looking at Wang Shengdi in his arms, who is only 12 years old, has broken 150cm in height, and can even see a bit of curves from top to bottom.
Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh that these kids today have really good nutrition.
……
……
Early August, Bilibili.
Many two-dimensional fans who had just finished chasing *The Bad Kids* or had re-watched Xu Feng’s old dramas like *Naruto* and *Bleach* several times returned, their eyes locked on the first column of the follow list—
*Ultraman Tiga*!
After clicking in, the passionate drum beats echoed in the audience’s ears.
The song *Miracle Reappearance*, which had the highest rating in *The Greatest Work*, with Jay Chou as the lead singer and Xu Feng as the backing vocalist, sounded first.
……
“Just like sunlight passing through the dark night”
“Dawn quietly, passing over the horizon”
“Whose figure, shuttling through the cycle of reincarnation”
