798 [Condor Audition]

"What do you say? Oriental Television Production Zuò Company wants to flop "The Condor Heroes"! Shao Yifu looked at Fang Yihua in surprise.

Jin Yong has long not cared about the copyright fee for adapting TV series, so for a long time, he only let TVB make Jin Yong's dramas, which is more because of the personal friendship between the two old friends.

But Jin Yong suddenly sold the TV series copyright of "The Condor Heroes" to Kang Jianfei, and there must have been something very special in it, and Shao Yifu couldn't help but be surprised.

Fang Yihua said: "I just received the news that Dongshi Company has begun casting, and the one who plays Xiaolongnu is last year's Dongjie champion Li Ruotong. ”

Shao Yifu frowned and said: "Mr. Cha is very disciplined in doing things, since he sold the copyright of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to Kang Jianfei, he must have his own reasons. ”

Fang Yihua said: "It seems that the filming of "The Condor Heroes" by Dongshi Company was a temporary decision, and the remake of "The Peerless Shuangjiao" was prepared before, and they all started to write the script before they suddenly changed it to "The Condor Heroes". ”

Fang Yihua is really anxious, the wireless station used to beat Phoenix Channel's "Happy Tonight", and the ratings have declined very much in the past two years, and the vitality of a variety show for more than ten years is commendable.

Now TVB relies on TV dramas to fight with Phoenix Channel, and the magic weapon is nothing more than a wealthy love drama and Jin Yong's martial arts drama, how can you play if the opponent wants to quit Jin Yong's drama?

Shao Yifu's mind is not on the TV station, in fact, Fang Yihua has been running the TVB TV station all these years, and he is just taking some ideas in the general direction.

Shao Yifu is now thinking about how to show his strength in the film industry. The first film of Shaw Brothers' comeback has been launched, which is an urban romance film directed by Wang Jing and starring TVB popular stars Ekin Cheng and Anita Yuen.

The film is ready to be released in October, and the cost is only more than 3 million. Shao Yifu's goal is to have a box office of 5 million in Hong Kong, mainly relying on the box office in Taiwan and Southeast Asia to make profits.

Once the test works reach Shaw's expected goals, Shaw Brothers is ready to expand the scale of production and increase the company's annual production capacity to 5 films.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone on the desk rang suddenly, Shao Yifu waved his hand to pick up the phone, and Fang Yihua left the office with interest.

The call was made by Jin Yong, and he only said one sentence: "Yifu." I sold the TV series copyright of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to Kang Jianfei for 1 yuan. ”

"I see." Shao Yifu replied.

Shao Yifu really understood. The copyright of a Jin Yong drama is only sold for 1 yuan, so it must be Jin Yong who is returning Kang Jianfei's favor.

……

Check the house.

Lin Leyi said to Jin Yong, who had just put down the phone: "Ah Hai came to visit just now, why did you let me say that you went out?" ”

As soon as Yu Pinghai was mentioned, Jin Yong's face faintly showed anger. He commanded: "If he comes back later, you will all block back!" ”

"What's wrong?" Lin Leyi asked curiously, Yu Pinghai has often come to the house as a guest in the past two years, so he almost recognized Jin Yong as his godfather.

"Hypocrisy and shamelessness, I still think he is a rare young talent!" Jin Yong threw the bag that Kang Jianfei handed him to his wife that day, "See for yourself." ”

Lin Leyi took it apart and found that it contained information about Yu Pinghai, and all the experiences from birth to stepping into the business sea were recorded in detail on paper.

Included in the documents was a business card with the words "Sherlock Holmes Detective Agency" printed on it. It seems to have been collected by a private investigator.

Lin Leyi finished reading the first page of information and didn't find anything wrong, but when she turned to the second page. Immediately, I noticed that a few lines had been marked out with a red pen.

The content that is specifically ticked by the red pen is:

In December 1978, Yu Pinghai was fined for stealing $200 from a Canadian department store.

In August 1979, while studying in Canada, Yu Pinghai was sentenced to two years in prison minus one day for seven counts of fraudulently signing other people's checks, stealing credit cards, and possessing firearms without a license. Actually served four months in prison ......"

Lin Leyi continued to flip back, although there was no red pen marking. But at the end, Yu Pinghai's case record photo and number were attached.

"I didn't expect him to be a criminal who had been in prison!" Lin Leyi said incredulously.

"If you are loyal, I was almost deceived by him! Young people inevitably make mistakes, but he has always boasted of his integrity and said nothing about the mistakes he has made, which is sincerely lying to me! Jin Yong's forehead jumped violently when he spoke, which showed how angry he was in his heart.

Jin Yong's anger is easy to understand, because of Yu Pinghai's deliberate flattery, the two of them have been like father and son in the past two years. Jin Yong was even ready to sell his shares cheaply, transferred his life's work "Ming Pao" to Yu Pinghai in batches, and spent a few years to open the way for Yu Pinghai, so that he could smoothly take over the entire Ming Pao Group.

The ideal successor who spent so much effort to find was actually a hypocrite with criminal records such as stealing, stealing credit cards, signing checks, and illegally holding guns, Jin Yong felt that he had been a fool for two years!

Jin Yong couldn't imagine what "Ming Pao" would be like in the end once it was handed over to Yu Pinghai!

In another time and space, after Yu Pinghai completely took over "Ming Pao", he quickly violated his original promise to Jin Yong to run the newspaper, and later sold "Ming Pao". Jin Yong was very angry about this, but there was nothing he could do, he could only regret that he didn't know anyone.

"Ming Pao" is Jin Yong's life's work, and it is even more important than his 15 novels - he insisted on writing novels in order to increase the sales of "Ming Pao" in the first place.

In fact, Jin Yong began to look for a successor ten years ago, and he was very cautious about the choice of successor, and Kang Jianfei debunked Yu Pinghai's case record, which undoubtedly saved the "Ming Pao" group for Jin Yong. The copyright of the TV series of "The Condor Heroes" is a trivial matter compared to the future of "Ming Pao".

It's a trivial matter for Jin Yong, but it does break the news for others.

The news of Dongshi's preparation for the filming of "The Condor Heroes" has not yet been reported, and it has already spread within the Eastern Group. A lot of TV stars are running up and down, wanting to get a good character in it.

Because there are too many people in the relationship, in the end, Zhao Zhenqiang, the producer of "The Condor Heroes", couldn't bear it. simply announced the audition to pick the actors. Theoretically, anyone can sign up, but it must be the actor of the Oriental Entertainment Agency that is preferred, unless you meet a very suitable candidate, you will use outsiders.

Zhao Zhenqiang is the producer and director of the original time and space Zhou Runfa version of "Shanghai Tang" and Liang Chaowei's version of "The Peerless Double Pride", and he has also directed martial arts films such as "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and "Jiangcheng Prodigal Son".

In another time and space, Zhao Zhenqiang's most popular was in the 80s, as long as the ratings of TVB TV series were suppressed by ATV, he would be recruited back to film and save the scene.

However, Zhao Zhenqiang belongs to Gan Guoliang's family. Since Gan Guoliang was excluded from TVB, Zhao Zhenqiang has not done very well. Resolutely switched to Oriental Television Co., Ltd.

"No. 21, Li Ruotong!" At the audition site, the staff opened the door and shouted.

Li Ruotong put away the novel of "The Condor Heroes" and smiled at the staff. Then walk into the room. Although she has been scheduled to play the role of Little Dragon Girl, since it is an audition, the necessary cutscenes still have to go.

As soon as Li Ruotong entered, the actors waiting in line outside began to discuss.

"I heard that the role of Xiaolongnu has been decided, and it is this Li Ruotong."

"Who's predetermined?"

"Who else? Mr. Kang, I heard that Li Ruotong was able to win the beauty pageant championship last year, and it was Mr. Kang who was behind it. ”

"Really? Then Li Ruotong won't also be our 'boss lady', right? ”

"That might be."

"Oops, the role of the little dragon girl can be determined, and other characters may also be determined. I probably won't have a chance to play Guo Fu. ”

"Not necessarily. After all, we are all artists of the company, and those outsiders who come to join in the fun have no chance at all. ”

“……”

He Meitian listened to the discussions around her, and couldn't help but feel even more apprehensive. There was an urge to give up on the audition. She is what those people call an "outsider", and she is a pink newcomer who has only played a small role, and even she just came to Hong Kong from the mainland a month ago.

Ho Mei Tin is an individual gymnast who won the balance beam at the National Junior Gymnastics Championships four years ago and won the floor exercise title at the Korea International Invitational Championships earlier this year.

Some time ago, Ho Mei Tian was injured during training, although she recovered quickly. But it can no longer support high-intensity training. happened to coincide with TVB's selection of actors for the gymnastics team, and He Meitian and another retired team member were taken a fancy to. Then he was taken to Hong Kong to shoot a TV series.

He Meitian plays a Kunban drama that needs to dance with guns and sticks, and she has appeared a lot of times, but she has very few lines, basically waving guns and sticks and beating around.

After filming that scene, the director felt that He Meitian was very talented in acting, so he didn't send her back to Guangzhou immediately. Dong, but recommended He Meitian to TVB, hoping that the station could sign her.

He Meitian lives in a simple dormitory on the set of Clear Water Bay, waiting for the departure of the wireless station, if she can't sign the contract, she can only go back to Guangzhou. East.

At this time, He Meitian saw the audition advertisement of the crew of "The Condor Heroes" on "Daily Daily". In addition to training in the gymnastics team before, she liked to read Jin Yong and Qiong Yao's novels, and as soon as she heard that the crew of "The Condor Heroes" was selected, she quietly came to sign up for the audition without telling others.

"No. 51, Ho Mei Tin."

Ho felt that participating in the audition was like going to the competition in the past, and the pressure was extremely huge, so she took a deep breath to relax, and then pushed the door in.

There are three people in charge of the audition, namely producer Luo Minghao, director Zhao Zhenqiang, and screenwriter Wen Ruian.

"You're not 16 yet?" Luo Minghao looked at He Meitian's registration information and asked.

He Meitian nodded and said, "I will be 16 years old in a few months." ”

Luo Minghao said: "Minors cannot sign contracts on their own, and they need the consent of their guardians. ”

He Meitian nodded and said, "I know." ”

"Have you ever filmed before?" Zhao Zhenqiang asked.

Ho Meitian said: "I have filmed on the wireless station. ”

Luo Minghao frowned and asked, "You don't have a contract for the wireless station, right?" ”

He Meitian shook her head: "No." ”

Wen Ruian leaned over and whispered to Zhao Zhenqiang, "What do you think of letting her play Guo Xiang?" ”

Zhao Zhenqiang's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Not bad." ”

Luo Minghao heard the whispers between the two, took out a script and said to He Meitian: "You come to perform this paragraph." (To be continued) R466
