Xu Xiaoming didn't take anyone with him when he left ATV, and the skeleton of Tianheng Film and Television was completely formed from Wei's personnel, fortunately, Tianheng Film and Television at this time was the same as when Wei's Film was first established, except for preparing for the first play, there was nothing else to do.

But when he got the entire script of "Joking about Qianlong" and knew Wei Xiong's requirements for this play, he knew that it was not easy to shoot the opening drama of Tianheng Film and Television, because Wei Xiong asked to use live shooting as much as possible, for example, to shoot in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Originally, his idea was to temporarily build a 'palace' in Clear Water Bay Film and Television City, so that the filming speed would be fast and save money. However, he can still accept Wei Xiong's so-called 'tall' requirements, after all, the original intention of Tianheng Film and Television was to create high-quality products.

What's more, the boss doesn't worry about spending more money, and he, a part-time worker, naturally doesn't mind using money to pile up a work that can create value for the company. It's just that it is not a simple matter to shoot the Forbidden City in Beijing, and it needs to be approved by the relevant departments in the mainland.

So after knowing Wei Xiong's request, he submitted an application just like the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, and while waiting for approval, the formation of the crew was also in full swing. At first everything went well, but soon, he had a tricky problem.

In other words, in order to ensure that there is a good opening, the drama "Joking about Qianlong" will be directed by Xu Xiaoming himself, and the selection of natural actors will also be done by himself, which is not difficult, with the support of TVB's huge actor resources, it is impossible not to pick a suitable actor.

And in a conversation before this, Wei Xiong mentioned to him that Zheng Shaoqiu is suitable to play Qianlong. Of course, Wei Xiong respects his choice. In the end, he selected Zheng Shaoqiu and Tang Zhenye among the many actors in TVB, and after several rounds of auditions, he chose Zheng Shaoqiu.

The reason why he chose Zheng Shaoqiu is that in addition to the fact that he really thinks that Zheng Shaoqiu is more suitable, there is also an objective factor, since Weng Meiling committed suicide, Tang Zhenye, who was originally one of the five wireless tiger generals, has seen his image plummet, and using him as the protagonist may have a bad impact.

This result made him have to admire Wei Xiong's vision, so he simply went directly to consult Wei Xiong on the selection of the heroine.

Because according to the script, the female number one in the play needs to play three roles at the same time. can have this kind of acting skills, and the appearance conditions meet the requirements of the script, not to mention TVB, even in the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, there are few of them. At least he didn't have such a person in his head.

The answer given by Wei Xiong was Zhao Yazhi. In this regard, he has some doubts, there is no doubt that Zhao Yazhi must meet the requirements in terms of appearance conditions, and Zhao Yazhi is also good in terms of acting skills, but to say that Zhao Yazhi can play three roles at the same time in one play, he is not sure.

But he still sent an invitation to Zhao Yazhi to audition. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Yazhi refused, and the reason given was that he had no plans to take on the drama in the near future, which made him unexpected, but he had no choice but to search for other suitable ones on TVB.

The result made him a little disappointed, because several consecutive auditions, including TVB's pillar Wang Mingquan, failed to completely satisfy him, unless the script was revised and the three roles that originally needed to be played by the female number one at the same time were split into three people to play.

And the areas that need to be modified are not too big. In this way, the requirements for actors can be greatly reduced, and he can find people immediately, but as soon as he mentioned this idea to Wei Xiong, he was directly vetoed by Wei Xiong: "It is definitely not possible to revise the script." ”

"The female number one playing the triangle is originally a big selling point of this play, but if it was changed because of the actor's problem, I will never agree. In this way, you continue to build the crew, you don't care about the heroine, I will find a way to persuade Zhao Yazhi. ”

After talking about this, what else could Xu Xiaoming say, and after chatting about some work, he said goodbye and left. Wei Xiong, on the other hand, maintained the posture he had left and sat motionless for a long time, staring ahead with a calm face, not knowing what he was thinking.

By the time he picked up Big Brother, almost half an hour had passed, and he made a phone call, which rang three times and then disconnected, and it was clear that he was not calling a landline or Big Brother, but a pager. After another half hour, the bell rang for his eldest brother.

"Hey, who's that?"

"It's me, is there something wrong with me?" Zhao Yazhi sat at the head of the bed, holding the phone in one hand, and unconsciously flipped through the world famous books in his hand with the other. When Wei Xiong called her just now, she was reading a book, and since she returned to her parents' house, reading has become a tool for her to pass the time.

In addition to sending her two sons to and from school every day, she almost stays at home and doesn't go out, and she doesn't know why, she just doesn't want to go out anyway.

Before calling back to Wei Xiong, she hesitated for a long time, and reason told her not to have any contact with Wei Xiong again, but in the end she still involuntarily picked up the phone, like a devil lurking deep in her heart, controlling her body and making her have to do this.

"Don't worry, it's business. Just now Xu Xiaoming told me that you rejected his invitation, but he really couldn't find a suitable person, let me talk to you. I know you don't have a drama appointment at the moment, so do me a favor. Of course, if it's really inconvenient......"

Zhao Yazhi was silent, the reason why she refused Xu Xiaoming was that she didn't want to have any contact with Wei Xiong, and now Wei Xiong called her personally, and there was a request in her tone, so that she really couldn't say anything to refuse, and then the hidden devil seemed to appear again.

"You, you ask Xu Xiaoming to contact me. After speaking, without waiting for Wei Xiong to answer, she hung up the phone, and then leaned back on the backer, her eyes were blue ahead, and she felt that her whole head was a mess, and she couldn't figure out the slightest clue.

"Knock knock knock. As the knock fell, the door opened, and an old woman appeared at the door: "I have stewed soft-shelled turtle soup, come out and drink some first." ”

After a while, Zhao Yazhi came to the living room, saw that there was no one in the living room, and asked casually: "What about my father and sister-in-law, why aren't they there?" ”

Zhao Yazhi has a total of five siblings, and she is the fourth, with an older brother and two older sisters. Now all five of them have a family.

"Your dad went downstairs to play chess with a friend, and your sister-in-law went shopping with a friend, saying that there was a discount in a shopping mall. Come, while it's still hot, drink the soup first. The old woman, Zhao Yazhi's mother, came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup and placed it on the table in front of Zhao Yazhi.

"It's happiness to go home, you don't have to do anything, and you have such a delicious soup to drink. The soup was just warm, Zhao Yazhi picked up the soup and drank it, and said with a smile. is still so beautiful and moving, there is no abnormality at all, but unfortunately there is a saying - knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu.

"I like to drink it, and Mommy will stew it for you tomorrow. Mother Zhao sat down next to her, with a kind smile on her face, and when Zhao Yazhi finished drinking the soup, she said: "Mommy asked you, did you quarrel with Jinsen? Don't deny it, I saw it as soon as you entered the door that day." ”

Zhao Yazhi bowed his head and was silent because he didn't know what to say.

"When you wanted to marry Jinsen, your father and I disagreed, and you know this, after all, you are both in the entertainment industry, and the gap is so big, and all kinds of situations are much more complicated than ordinary people. But since you are married, you must know how to be more respectful and considerate of each other. ”

Only in this way can the husband and wife live in harmony. ”

"I know Mommy, I just want to come back quietly and think about something. ”

"Does Jinsen want you to have a child? What's there to think about, although Jinsen also loves Hongzai and Xiaoyi, but after all, he is not biological, of course he will want a child of his own, this is human nature, and after having a child, the family will be more stable. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but think that maybe having a child of their own with Huang Jinsen would calm down his restless heart. However, she has just promised Wei Xiong to star in "Joking Qianlong", even if she really wants to, she can only wait for the filming to be done before taking action.

Hearing a busy sound on the phone, Wei Xiong put down the phone with a smile, and after a while, he dialed Xu Xiaoming's phone again, and asked him to find Zhao Yazhi in person, when he knew that Wei Xiong had communicated with Zhao Yazhi, Xu Xiaoming almost couldn't help but hit the wall, he knew that it was so simple.

He had already asked Wei Xiong to be a lobbyist, but he spent a lot of effort looking for many actresses in TVB, which is really inferior.

After processing some papers, Wei Xiong went to Studio 1, where no one was recording, as the main character was himself.

That's right, it's him who wants to record, and it's been more than half a year since his second album "Kiss Goodbye" was released, and he once again had the idea of releasing an album, not because of how much he likes music, but because of lack of money, yes, he does lack money.

Of course, what he lacks is not a small amount of money. He has always wanted to reorganize several of his companies and bring them together to save resources and facilitate coordination between them. For example, the films produced by Webster are all soundtracked by Media Asia.

But sometimes the staff of the two companies have to run around in order to match a song, although the distance is not far, but it is a problem after all.

This requires an office building, and if it is the average person, the first thing that comes to mind is mostly renting. However, for Wei Xiong, who is familiar with the future world economic trend, buying is the best choice, but unfortunately after several investments, his private pocket flattened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, he could siphon money from companies, but he didn't want to. What's more, even if you do draw money from various companies, it will not be enough.

So, this time he saved purely to make extra money, and he was preparing to release his first English-language album to earn gringos' dollars and pounds.
