Fast forward to April.

In April, Hong Kong is in the windy season, which coincides with the rapid arrival of summer this year, and the sea breeze howling on the sea level every day, mixed with a faint smell of sea, also brings a wave of heat.

At the same time, the "Condor Heroes" audition held by Phoenix TV has also come to an end, and the six people selected for the finals are Zhou Yanfa, Zheng Yuling, Tian Niu, Wei Qiuhua, Miao Qiaowei and Tang Zhenye.

At this moment, in the No. 1 studio of Phoenix Channel, Zhang Luo, who was beating gongs and drums, arranged for the judges and guests to sit down.

"Who has the most votes for Yang Guo now?" Huo Yaowen stood in the background, watching the staff arranging on the stage, turned to look at He Zuozhi beside him and asked.

He Zuozhi thought for a while and said: "I learned from the post office that the number of stamps purchased by Zhou Runfa is the most, but Tang Zhenye is only more than 1,000 missing. ”

Tang Zhenye was still very handsome when he was young, and after appearing on the show twice, he gained a large number of beauty fans, even if the station had already decided that Zhou Yanfa would play Yang Guo, but the number of votes was still very tight.

Huo Yaowen shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I've already said hello to a few judges." However, Tang Zhenye and Miao Qiaowei still have Wan Ziliang and others who were defeated before, you can arrange to sign them and play several roles in the Condor Heroes. ”

"I'm already making arrangements, Wan Ziliang and other previous unsuccessful players have already signed, and now I'm waiting for the finals to end and sign contracts with Tang Zhenye and Miao Qiaowei. He Zuozhi replied.

"Hmm. Huo Yaowen was still very satisfied with He Zuozhi's efficiency, and he didn't need to say anything, he arranged it directly.

"By the way, who has the most votes on the female side now?"

"The most people are Zheng Yuling, but Wei Qiuhua is also a lot, both of them have more than 70,000 tickets, and the difference is only 2,000 tickets. ”

"What about Tian Niu?"

She also has a lot of votes, more than 50,000, but there may still be a lot of gap between her appearance and the little dragon girl in people's fantasies, so there are fewer people who buy her stamps, but among the audience who wrote the letter, many people suggested that Tian Niu play Guo Xiang, thinking that Tian Niu's appearance is very suitable for playing Guo Xiang. ”

"Guo Xiang?" Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, thinking of Tian Niu's appearance, which was also in line with the innocent Guo Xiang.

Judging from the current number of votes, the chance of Tian Niu being selected is still very small, and her naturally sweet appearance is seriously inconsistent with the cold and glamorous ice and snow of Xiaolongnu, so it is not bad to play Guo Xiang.

And among the Condor Heroes, the most outstanding female characters, in addition to Xiaolongnu, are Li Mochou, Guo Xiang, and Guo Fu.

If Tian Niu is signed, it is okay to let her play Guo Xiang.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Since the audience thinks she is good, then you can ask Director Xiao, if he likes it, Tian Niu loses the election again, so choose her to play Guo Xiang." ”

"Okay chairman. He Zuozhi nodded in response.

At this time, a staff member ran over and said, "Chairman, Mr. Cha, they have arrived." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen turned his head to He Zuozhi and said, "Everyone has almost arrived, you go and urge the backstage and let them get it done as soon as possible." ”

When he finished speaking, he went out to pick up Jin Yong and Gu Long.

……

About ten minutes later.

Everything is ready in the studio, the camera is pointed at the presenter on the stage, and at the same time, the recording begins.

"Hello audience friends, today is the last finals of the Condor Heroes audition, up to now we have received a lot of letters and votes from the audience, thank you very much for your strong support to our Phoenix TV, we specially invited the author of the Condor Heroes, the martial arts master Mr. Jin Yong to come to the scene in person, to select the best Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu in his mind!"

With the host next to him, the camera focused on Jin Yong on the judges' seat.

Maybe it was his first time attending a TV show, and Kim Yong was a little nervous, but he still kept a polite smile and waved to the camera.

Because Jin Yong had his back to the audience, when the audience heard that he was also coming, they turned their heads and ears to discuss which one of Jin Yong was better looking at Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.

"I didn't expect Jin Yong to come too! I just don't know if he's optimistic about that. ”

"It must be Zhou Yunfa and Zheng Yuling, they are the most perfect Condor Heroes!"

"I feel like it's Tang Zhenye and Wei Qiuhua. ”

"Yes, I'm still optimistic about Wei Qiuhua and Tang Zhenye. ”

"Actually, Miao Qiaowei is also good. ”

"Why is no one optimistic about Tian Niu?"

"Tian Niu is very beautiful, but I don't feel like I fit the image of the little dragon girl. ”

"Yes, in my opinion, the little dragon girl is a peerless beauty who does not eat fireworks in the world. ”

"If that's what I have to say, I feel like Hu Yinmeng seems to be a good fit. ”

"Who is Hu Yinmeng?"

"It's the one who played Lin Shiyin in Xiao Li's flying knife movie before. ”

"It's her! yes, she's so cold, it seems very appropriate to play the little dragon girl. ”

"yes, that's a shame. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, which did not affect the guests and judges introduced by the host on the stage.

"Okay, audience friends, the guests and judges have been introduced, and then six contestants will be invited to the stage, they will wear ancient costumes for the first time today, and use ancient costumes to show who is the real Condor Heroes!"

As soon as the words fell, accompanied by a burst of passionate soundtrack, Zhou Yanfa walked out of the backstage in an ancient costume, and Zheng Yuling came out one after another, each holding a sword, came to the center of the stage, and put on a well-coordinated martial arts move.

followed by Miao Qiaowei and Tian Niu, Tang Zhenye and Wei Qiuhua.

Three pairs of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu in different appearances are also holding swords, which dazzled the audience, and for a while it seemed that these three pairs were quite suitable.

The host said: "Let's listen to Mr. Jin Yong's comments first, and see which pair or which one is the most suitable person for the appearance of the Condor Heroes in his mind." ”

Jin Yong looked at it carefully, snorted, and said with a smile: "I feel that the three pairs are very good, and they are all suitable for playing Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu." ”

"Someone has to be the right fit. "The moderator is unrelenting.

"Haha, I feel that each one is very good, the most suitable person depends on the meaning of Director Xiao, he is the director. ”

Jin Yong was very clever and transferred the sprouts to Xiao Sheng on the side.

Xiao Sheng, who was sitting next to him, laughed, he didn't expect Jin Yong to be so smart when he was on the show for the first time and knew how to lead the fire to him, anyway, it was not the first time to be this villain, and he also opened his mouth and said: "Personally, from the perspective of the director and the original work, my favorite ones are Zhou Yunfa and Wei Qiuhua." ”

The show was still being recorded, and when Huo Yaowen in the audience was watching it with relish, suddenly He Zuozhi trotted over all the way, walked to his side and said, "Chairman, the Mr. Evans you mentioned before has arrived." ”

"Did you pick him up?" Huo Yaowen looked sideways.

"Yes, I've picked up a nearby hotel, and I wanted him to take a break, but that person seems to be looking for you in a hurry. ”

"Okay, I see, you're here watching the recording. Huo Yaowen roughly guessed in his heart why Evans was in a hurry to contact him.

"Hmm. ”

……

After a while, Huo Yaowen hurried to the hotel where Evans was staying, and as soon as he saw him, the other party said solemnly: "BOSS, the situation is a little bad. ”

Huo Yaowen saw that he was so nervous, and he also opened his mouth to ask, "What's going on?"

Harold Evans said: "When I was negotiating with The Sun and the New York Post, I had already set the price and was waiting for the contract to be signed. But suddenly a company came out, and they also wanted to buy these two newspapers, and their offer was 10 percent higher than ours, which was already more than our initial budget. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen wondered who was the company that suddenly appeared?

"Do you know which company it is?"

"A company from Australia, I investigated, their boss is Murdoch, a few years ago they bought the British "News of the World", and the year before last their company bought three newspapers owned by the American Hart Hanks Newspaper. I guess they seem to have the same idea as we did, to form a newspaper conglomerate. ”

Murdoch!!

It's him!!

Huo Yaowen frowned, although he knew from the beginning that he would have to compete with Murdoch, the future newspaper tycoon, sooner or later, but he didn't expect to fight the other party so soon.

"You don't have to worry about money, you take a day off first, I think these two newspapers will not be sold so early when they see that there are people competing. ”
