There are various reports after the dissolution of Xinyicheng, but one thing is undeniable is that Oriental Film Company has completely confirmed the fact that it is a dominant company. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no longer a situation in Hong Kong where two companies can join forces to compete with the Oriental Film Company.

Xu Ke has been extremely depressed these days, and it took him a lot of time to find a male protagonist, but he finally got it, but when he chose the right heroine, he couldn't find it.

The recent news about Xinyicheng actually overshadowed Xu Ke's casting, and when the matter of Xinyicheng finally stopped, Xu Ke felt that the role of Xiaoqian, the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story", was extremely difficult to find, even if he was found in the newspaper, he couldn't find a suitable one.

These days, he has chosen Zhang Guorong as the leading actor, but he also had a little turmoil when he was looking for Zhang Guorong.

At first, Zhang Guorong agreed to the male lead, but later heard that it was a costume film and refused, because Zhang Guorong felt that his costume was too ugly and was unwilling to wear weird clothes to act in some weird stories.

So Xu Ke tried his best to eliminate Zhang Guorong's concerns, got the costume ready to show him, and said that the core of the film was actually a modern story, and Zhang Guorong was slowly convinced.

The male protagonist has finally stabilized, then the heroine is the most important, Zhang Guorong proposed Akina Nakamori as the heroine, Xu Ke naturally respected his ideas, and also took Akina Nakamori as his first plan for the heroine of this play.

So he simply stopped publishing in the newspaper to find the heroine, and began to prepare to invite Akina Nakamori, a very famous singer in Japan.

It's just that Akina Nakamori's agent unilaterally and directly declined Xu Ke's request, because Akina Nakamori doesn't understand Chinese, and her arrangements are very tight and there is no time.

Xu Ke was indomitable and invited many times. But many times the other party still refused, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

In desperation, Xu Ke could only report the casting on the one hand, and on the other hand, he personally looked at the suitable candidates.

With the help of various media, the audition for the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also in full swing.

Shi Nansheng was sorting out the overseas distribution of Oriental Film Company in the company, when suddenly the phone on the desk rang non-stop.

Since the studio was cancelled, Shi Nansheng has been working at Oriental Film Company, and she has held a high and important position.

When she thought about the phone for about ten seconds, she put down what she was doing and picked up the phone.

"Hello Ms. Shi, I am Wang Guxian, and I want to audition for the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story". On the other side of the phone, Wang Guxian replied anxiously.

The current Wang Guxian is far from being as popular as the future generations.

However, compared to the original plane, she is still somewhat famous now.

Although the "Saint of Gambling" she participated in before was a box office hit, she was still treated as a vase by the audience because of her acting skills.

With the big hit of "The Saint of Gambling", Wang Guxian is still favored by many film and television companies, and there are many films, but it is a pity that the follow-up films are not popular, and the heroine she starred in cannot accurately reflect her own charm, and gradually becomes cold.

In the past, when Shaw Brothers was not discontinued, she was signed under Shaw Brothers Films, and after Shaw Brothers was discontinued, she was signed under Xinyicheng. Recently, Xinyicheng has been announced to be disbanded, and she has become a lonely orphan to fight for a good source for herself.

"Miss Wang, that's the case, the role of the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

, there are certain requirements in terms of height. You're really good-looking, and I was thinking about looking for you before. However, I found that the character of Xiaoqian has a suitable size in terms of height, so it doesn't have to be too tall. You're a little too tall, and I personally don't think you're a good fit for the role. Shi Nansheng explained very tactfully.

In fact, Shi Nansheng didn't take into account Wang Guxian at all, what is the problem of height, the key is that Wang Guxian is only a little famous, not very famous, the key is that whether his acting skills are good is also a problem.

Wang Guxian said in a pleading tone: "Ms. Shi, I just want a chance to audition, can you give me a try, if it really doesn't work, I won't force it." ”

Shi Nansheng still has things to do at hand, and there is a dinner at the Furama Hotel in the evening, such as Lin Zhengying and Wang Xiaofeng, the leading actors of "Zombie Supreme", how can she have so much time to take care of auditions.

Shi Nansheng said perfunctorily: "The audition is arranged by my husband, I can't make the decision in this matter, if Miss Wang wants to interview, I can mention it to my husband, as for the specific situation, it depends on Miss Wang herself." ”

Wang Guxian on the other side of the phone knew that the other party had rejected her, but she was not ready to give up, so she thanked helplessly: "Okay, I'm sorry for you, Ms. Shi." ”

Wang Zuxian is very persistent, she has watched the audition of "A Chinese Ghost Story", she feels that she is absolutely qualified for this role, she decided to go to the audition location of Oriental Film Company to talk to Xu Ke in person.

After all, not long ago, Wang Guxian and Xu Ke had a cooperation, that is, the "Working Emperor", but Wang Guxian's acting skills were not good at that time, which made the other party a little disappointed in himself.

In the evening, Furama Hotel.

Xu Ziming, Lin Zhengying and others, including Xu Ke and his wife, are discussing the release of "Zombie Supreme" by Twentieth Century Fox in the United States.

The reason why Xu Ke and his wife Shi Nansheng are here is because Shi Nansheng has recently become the financial director of Oriental Film Company and the person in charge of overseas film distribution.

"Mr. Xu, the distribution is generally negotiated, "Zombie Supreme" is tentatively scheduled to be released in June this year, this movie, Twentieth Century Fox said that it can be arranged to more than 600 canvases, as for the specific situation, it is still adjusted after the release of the box office attendance."

Xu Ziming was very satisfied with the fact that he could negotiate so quickly, and once again convinced that he had chosen the right person, he said with a smile: "It can be negotiated so quickly, Mrs. Shi (Shi Nansheng is Xu Ke's wife) You have contributed a lot, and I will give you a salary increase when you come back." ”

Over there, Shi Nansheng chuckled and said: "Mr. Xu, I don't dare to take credit, if I want to say that I can negotiate so quickly, the credit should be the production team of this film." ”

The two didn't say any more compliments, Xu Ziming raised his wine glass and congratulated Lin Zhengying and others: "I wish Uncle Nine a big box office in North America and become famous in North America." ”

Lin Zhengying smiled very happily, and his gratitude to Xu Ziming was even stronger before, he got up directly, picked up the wine glass and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, I, Lin Zhengying, will always follow Mr. Xu." ”

Lin Zhengying's heartfelt words led the audience, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

Wang Xiaofeng, who was beside Lin Zhengying, glanced at Xu Ziming very charmingly, Xu Ziming didn't secretly send Qiubo or anything, just smiled casually.

In Xu Ziming's view, although Wang Xiaofeng plays a beautiful female ghost, she is not unique in terms of appearance and figure.

Xu Ke recently for

The heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is annoyed, and Akina Nakamori is the first choice of Xu Ke and the male advocate of "A Chinese Ghost Story", but unfortunately Xu Ke was not invited, how much he hopes that Xu Ziming will invite him in person.

When he was about to finish talking and leave the group, "Mr. Xu..." Xu Ke spoke a little hesitantly.

Xu Ziming asked curiously, "What's wrong with Mr. Xu?"

Xu Ke was a little bold this time and said: "The protagonist of "A Chinese Ghost Story", I want Mr. Xu to do me a favor. ”

Xu Ziming said, "What's the hurry?"

Xu Ke said: "Trouble Mr. Xu to invite Akina Nakamori to play the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story". ”

Xu Ziming was really speechless when he heard this, he has a lot of things on hand now, how can he have time to care about these, "It's good for you to pick the right person yourself, as for Akina Nakamori, it is not necessarily the best candidate." ”

Xu Ziming will not deliberately change the personality, Nakamori Akina gives people the feeling of being pure and lovely, and when it comes to charm, it is not as good as Wang Guxian.

But to be precise, the two have their own characteristics in comparison.

With Xu Ziming's current identity and status, it is not difficult to invite Akina Nakamori, but Xu Ziming does not have this idea and mind.

Xu Ziming's refusal made Xu Ke a little embarrassed to hear it, and Shi Nansheng interjected: "Mr. Xu, there's nothing to do, let's go back first." ”

Xu Ziming nodded, indicating that of course he could.

The two of them left first, Xu Ziming originally wanted to directly decide on the heroine, but after thinking about it, he still didn't want to be troubled, and the hostess candidate should not change much.

On the way back to Xu Ke and his wife, Shi Nansheng was a little annoyed, but he didn't expect Xu Ke to ask Xu Ziming for personal help when he was a candidate for a heroine, "You are too reckless to do things today, Xu Ziming's current identity is far from the same as in the previous New Art City, if he sets this precedent today, I don't know how many directors will drag him to help in the future." ”

Xu Ke said helplessly: "The key is that only Xu Ziming has the ability to help with this." ”

Shi Nansheng said with a serious face: "The current Hong Kong entertainment industry is already the dominant company in the Oriental Film Company, Xu Ziming's words are very important in the entertainment industry, and people in such a position will be arrogant over time, so try not to trouble him." ”

Xu Ke said speechlessly: "You are too sensitive, just ask for a hostess, look at you nervous." ”

Shi Nansheng said: "It's not that I'm sensitive, many things are like this." ”

Xu Ke beckoned and said perfunctorily: "Okay, I know, in the future, I won't bother others about such trivial things." ”

It didn't take long for Xu Ke to change the topic and say: "In the past few days, I have seen a lot of people who come to audition for the heroine, none of them are pleasing to the eye, they are all fly in the ointment, and they can't show what I want in my heart." ”

Xu Ke has always been depressed about the choice of the heroine, and he doesn't want his "A Chinese Ghost Story" to be negligent because of the role problem, which will affect the box office results.

Shi Nansheng said: "That, Wang Guxian called me today and said that she wanted to audition, but I directly rejected her temperament and image that are not very suitable for the character of Xiaoqian." ”

Tsui Hark said casually: "Her acting skills are still very immature, so it's okay to refuse." ”

The funny thing is that Xu Ke didn't know that the candidate he hadn't considered at all became the heroine of his "A Chinese Ghost Story".
