After Sir Shao agreed to Gu Ao's conditions, Mr. Fang said a few more candidates who could be finalized and there were no differences, which comforted the face of the mainland co-producer.

For example, Huang Rong of "Shooting the Condor" is played by Wen Meiling, there is no disagreement between the two sides, and the current Wen Meiling is completely a newcomer to the street, and she has only played a shampoo advertisement and a supporting role in a TV series with no sense of existence.

Her biggest showbiz qualification is only a year as a host of a late-night female variety show on TVB. Historically, when TVB started filming "Shooting the Condor", it held an audition for the role of Huang Rong, which gave her the opportunity to stand out, and before the filming started, her ability and acting skills were still questioned by the public.

Now because of the cooperation with the mainland, the famous characters have withdrawn from the competition, and she has a lot less pressure. This kind of newcomer who is almost almost famous, of course, thinks the same as Andy Lau in the stage of the dragon set, thinking that "if you become popular first, you will be qualified to consider whether Wanwan is blocked or not".

And Yang Guo in the Condor was originally Andy Lau's, Andy Lau is now in the period of being blocked by Wanwan, and he doesn't worry about lice and lice if he has a lot of debts, and he just takes over.

In this way, the main characters who are vacated because of the fear of banning are positioned as Guo Jing in "Shooting the Condor", which should not be difficult to solve.

Mr. Fang took advantage of the fact that the two sides were talking happily and Gu Biao was in a good mood, and threw out an unfortunate news:

"Gu Sheng, these people above, for the time being, it's decided - there is still an important trouble here, I have to ask Gu Sheng to find a way. Wang Yuyan and Chen Yulian don't want to go to the mainland, and she has already shown Mr. Zha the makeup photos before, and Mr. Zha is very satisfied with her image of the little dragon girl.

If this problem cannot be solved, we can still move "Shooting the Condor" to the mainland for filming, but "The Condor" will have to face major adjustments - of course, this is a real difficulty, not that I want to balance the Wanwan side, I hope you understand, and also reflect our difficulties with the relevant leaders of the cultural departments in the mainland. ”

Gu Biao raised his eyebrows, knowing that the other party still wanted to meet the source left and right, and he couldn't offend both ends.

"Can't the little dragon girl be replaced?" Gu Biao confirmed with a salute before a soldier.

Mr. Fang had an expression of "I don't count this matter", and shirked in embarrassment: "Gu Sheng, you should know that the role of Xiaolongnu still has a lot of weight in Mr. Cha's mind. He shouldn't allow the image he doesn't like to interpret the little dragon girl. ”

Gu Biao is reluctant to accept this kind of rhetoric.

Later generations in the 2010s, after Mr. Zha was old and confused, not only did he change the original work, but he also became more and more indulgent about the remake, and even Bao Zi Chen's style can play Xiaolongnu, if you want to say how high his requirements are, isn't this nonsense.

But some things are also slowly faded with the development of time, and the elderly in their 80s in later generations may look down on everything, but when they are in their 50s, they are inevitably still a little obsessed.

In the remake of the 80s, where "Condor" had to let Mr. Cha personally nod the makeup photo of Xiaolongnu before selling the adaptation rights, this is also a convention.

When Gu Biao symbolically spent tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to buy the adaptation rights for two years, the supplementary clause in the contract was also written in this article, and Gu Biao knew it. As long as the image of Xiaolongnu can't make Mr. Zha nod, the other party has the right to return the money and take back the adaptation rights of this play.

Doing business with literati is a little bit of a problem, you don't know when you're going to have a bad temper waiting there.

Gu Biao pondered it for a moment and suggested: "Then it's better to be like this, anyway, over there in Lanting Cinema, the construction scale of 'Songcheng Street' is not large, let's also reduce the scale of short-term infrastructure investment and stagger the schedule."

Starting this month, I will start filming "Shooting the Condor", this kind of tome, the script is planned to have fifty or sixty episodes, and it is necessary to shoot until the end of the year, Guo Jing is no one to play, I think it will be okay to change Liang Jiahui, I believe he can become popular in the mainland. As for "Condor", let's hold it off for a while and leave it for the next year.

I'm going back to the United States this month, going to Professor Kissinger, finishing my Ph.D., and I'll be back in January next year. In the past few months, I have been in charge of the casting of Mr. Cha and Xiaolongnu, and I will make sure that he will nod - as long as he nods, you should be fine. ”

Gu Biao kicked the ball to Mr. Cha, of course Sir Shao and Mr. Fang couldn't say anything.

Because the key to the casting of this drama is the nod of the original party, and the original party is the largest, which is determined from the beginning of the licensing contract.

"Then what if by then, Gu Sheng still can't find a Xiaolong woman to choose that Mr. Cha is satisfied with?" Mr. Fang just asked in a final way.

Gu Biao is also very atmospheric: "If you can't find it, I will give up the exercise of the right to adapt the film and television of "Condor", and leave it all to you, you love to use Chen Yulian, whether you shoot locally or in Wanwan, whatever." All the business, this bit of courage still has to be had, what you promised must be done, it is normal to make money and lose money, how can you just make money. ”

When he said this, Sir Shao and Mr. Fang glanced at each other. The two are old husbands and wives, and Mr. Fang read from Sir Shao's eyes, "Mr. Cha's bad temper is not so easy to deal with." If it's really done, let's admit it."

So Mr. Fang obediently accepted Gu Wei's proposal.

Everyone is a decent person, and it is impossible to camp for a little profit.

After the tone was set, the old and weak Sir Shao kindly extended an olive branch:

"Gu Sheng, then I wish you a happy cooperation this time. In this way, in a few days, we will have a singing talent contest on our wireless station, which is a TV variety show. On the night of the end of the competition, there was also a networking reception for business celebrities and showbiz people, and I invited you to participate, I don't know if you can enjoy it. ”

Gu Biao nodded: "Sir Shao's invitation, how dare I not appreciate it, I just don't know what the theme is, it shouldn't be as simple as playing." ”

Sir Shao smiled indifferently, looking very kind, but the words he said were murderous: "Come on, Gu Shengyuan is a guest, originally only Mr. Li of China Film came to me to say that he wanted to ban anyone who has been to the mainland, and you have never come to say anything." This is your first time talking, how can I not be formal. ”

Gu Biao nodded and motioned for Sir Shao to continue.

He knew that the "Mr. Li of China Film" mentioned by the other party just now was a film distributor with the background of Wanwan's official capital, and Wanwan banned Xiangjiang artists who went to the mainland, and they originally relied on this channel to speak ruthlessly.

Sir Shao is giving Gu Wei face, so that he has any other small fish and shrimp that he wants to ban, and he will announce it together with Tang Zhenye's blockade, so as to bring back a little momentum to the relevant cultural departments in the mainland.

Sir Shao continued: "In addition, I heard that Gu Sheng is quite extensive in the field of diplomacy. Since July, many wealthy people in Xiangjiang want to run out. Although we can't run away from billions and tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, there are many people who are ready to move.

Everyone is saying that it is better for Xiangjiang's money to go in the future, and some people have been dancing happily recently, so they should ask Gu Sheng for some advice. ”

The corners of Gu Ao's eyes jumped slightly, and he asked with a smile: "What, are there any tycoons who want to escape from Xiangjiang to attend? ”

Sir Shao also smiled, stretched out two fingers, pointed at Gu Biao trembling and shaking, and didn't say anything for a long time: "Talking to smart people is labor-saving, there is a rich businessman named Kong Shangzhong, who is not far behind our family's wealth, and will also attend, I don't know if Gu Sheng is familiar with this person." ”

"It's not very cooked, but it'll be cooked soon. Gu Biao said ambiguously, "I will definitely arrive at this grand event." ”

"Then I'll thank you first, Yihua, help me send off the guests. Sir Shao raised his hand and let the concubine send off.

Mr. Fang sent Gu Biao out of the house according to his words.

When the car was driving on Baijia Road, Mr. Fang also raised his hand to point to Gu Biao, saying that there was a mansion no less than Shao, Bao, Li and other big families, which was the family of Kong Shangzhong, a big luxury merchant/jeweler/commercial real estate tycoon.

Gu Biao secretly remembered it in his heart, wondering how much this mansion would be worth and how much the loan would be repaid if it was forcibly auctioned by HSBC.

……

After leaving Shao Mansion, Gu Biao went straight back to his modest apartment in Yau Ma Tei.

He bought the house three years ago, and at that time, the business of Hanle Electronics was only split by CITIC Trust, and Tiankun Entertainment had just started its signature grass, and Gu Biao didn't have much money for personal enjoyment.

Three years have passed, and the old house in Yau Ma Tei is obviously not worthy of the forced style and grade of "Gu Mansion". Fortunately, Gu Biao is not a person who is greedy for pleasure, and he has never minded.

On the way back, Gu Biao didn't have time to think about the selection of Xiaolongnu for the time being, but was thinking about "after the actor was forced to change blood", whether the "83 version of the Condor Archery", which was originally popular in another time and space, could still become popular in the mainland.

Huang Yuehua's image of Guo Jing was too deeply rooted in Gu Wei's mind in his previous life. In contrast, Liang Jiahui has a kind of gangster domineering, he was impressed by the weak Emperor Xianfeng when he was young, and later he was the big brother of Wanwan Black D in "Black Gold".

want such a person to play a simple and simple person...... It's hard.

However, Gu Biao must give priority to those Xiangjiang actors who are determined to join the mainland, and this principle cannot be changed.

Liang Jiahui and Andy Lau are the benchmarks for defecting to the mainland in the past two years, so Guo Jing and Yang Guo are just the two of them who have not run, and FLAG cannot fall. They must mix well, and the follow-up Xiangjiang stars will be dead.

"Forget it, why do you want to do so much, now China is a CN land of martial arts films, everyone thinks it's good what you show him, it's just preconceived, and there is no choice.

Well, at most, this film will not be able to enter Wanwan from now on, or at least it will take 92 years for a consensus between the two sides of the strait to reach a consensus and ease relations and no longer block each other, before it can enter Wanwan. As for the Xiangjiang market, the locals have watched a lot of martial arts films, and their eyes are more picky, but there are only a few people in Xiangjiang. It's a big deal to sign a ratings bet with Sir Shao and take a little risk for casting. ”

Gu Biao thought about it, so he made a decision.

He doesn't think there's anything to "ruin the classics", the so-called classics, of course, shooting well is one thing, and preconceived ideas are also very important.

Art has to serve the bigger picture.

He had just figured this out when Yau Ma Tei arrived.

Gu Biao returned to the house, and the maid who was in charge of cleaning all the year round greeted the master and said that there were business guests visiting.

Gu Biao paused for a moment, walked into the living room, and found that it was Han Ting who rushed to talk to him about business.

He patted his head, feeling that he was really sluggish.

Han Ting is in the Special Economic Zone every day, and she is a Hong Kong businessman, knowing that he has come to Xiangjiang, how can she not seize the opportunity to come over and talk about the latest business situation.
