Although "Wulin Gaiden" is dressed in the coat of "martial arts drama" and "sitcom", it is actually not about the rivers and lakes, but a bit of an anti-martial arts tendency, but the degree of drama is very good, deconstructing and ironizing martial arts, but not subverting the chivalrous spirit.

In the first episode of the story, Guo Furong, the daughter of the hero, tried to be chivalrous, thinking that she was helping the needy, but in fact she was just causing harm to others, but she was woken up by Tong Xiangyu, the owner of Tongfu Inn, and "degraded" to the inn handyman; The thief Bai Zhantang is famous in the rivers and lakes, but in fact he is kind and timid, and most of his glorious deeds in the rivers and lakes are boasted by himself; And Xing Zhutou of Qixia Town can only eat and drink official words, and at critical moments, he relies on speculation to get by...... All of this makes people laugh.

Such a story came from Lin Youlun, which made Huang Zihua a little surprised.

Although I only watched two episodes of the script, many of the collage, irony and parody techniques used in it gave Huang Zihua a lot of inspiration for further developing the performance method of "stand-up comedy".

"Mr. Lin, what is my role in this play?"

In the few seconds that he was waiting for Lin Youlun to answer, Huang Zihua kept silently reciting "Bai Zhantang" in his heart, and the result was just as he wished, Lin Youlun was indeed ready to hand over this role to him to play.

While putting down a stone in his heart, Huang Zihua couldn't help but be curious about several other characters in the play.

"The other roles have not yet been decided, but the list of cameo stars has already come out, just at the end of the script I gave you."

Huang Zihua saw the list under Lin Youlun's prompting, and at first glance he thought he was wrong. The list in his hand almost covers all the leading stars in the Hong Kong film and music industry. So many big-name supporting actors will make cameos in this TV series, which suddenly makes him, the leading actor, feel a lot of pressure.

Liang Jiashu also felt the pressure, since he went to Lin Youlun's house over there, he has become extremely busy.

In the office, many artists will be called in and out by him every day, when these people come out, some are happy, some are lost, and others can't help but inquire after a long time, and then they know that Liang Jiashu is casting for this year's Taiwan celebration drama. And not all the artists who came to his office were called by him. A large part of them are "self-recommended".

"Although it's a Taiwanese drama casting, you don't need to go through such a hard time, right? Whoever has the big name can be on it. ”

"What do you know, Uncle Liang only has the right to recommend, and I really think that Mr. Lin has to make the decision. Can the candidate recommended by Uncle Liang this time be recognized by Mr. Lin. It is important to be related to whether he can be Mr. Lin in the future. Can you say he doesn't take it seriously and cautiously? ”

The two staff members on the side were talking in a whisper, and the door of Liang Jiashu's office was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Tianli walked out of it with a depressed face. Behind him was Liang Jiashu, who sent him out.

"Gu Zai, it's really not that I won't help you this time, but the actor in the TV series, Mr. Lin, has already set someone else, so I can't help it, and this is a comedy, and it doesn't fit well with your image style."

Liang Jiashu patted Gu Tianli on the shoulder, said a few words of encouragement, and walked back to the office after sending him away.

Assistant Ah Cheng made a cup of tea with a good eye and sent it in, and then asked Liang Jiashu about the progress of selecting actors.

Liang Jiashu sat at the desk with a headache on his face, and explained helplessly: "Other roles are easy to handle, the key is the innkeeper, there are many people who like this role, but none of them really meet the requirements of the role!" ”

"There are so many female artists in the company, but there is no suitable one?" Ah Cheng asked cautiously.

"This role requires style, but it can't give people a very prodigal feeling, the company's female artists basically don't take this route, how do you say I can choose such a candidate?" Liang Jiashu spread his hands, obviously depressed by this question.

Ah Cheng carefully pondered the various requirements of this role, but he remembered a person.

Liang Jiashu was also a little annoyed by this role, and regardless of Ah Cheng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he immediately asked him to say the person's name.

"Lan Jieying."

"What did you say?"

Liang Jiashu stood up from his seat, his eyes looked at Ah Cheng like a blade, if it weren't for the fact that the other party had been with him for seven or eight years and had been loyal, Liang Jiashu should have suspected that Ah Cheng wanted to use this matter to deliberately harm him.

"How difficult is it for Lan Jieying to mess with you, it's not that you don't know when you don't know when Lu Dao will explode, if something goes wrong when you act in this play, then the responsibility can't be all on my head?"

Liang Jiashu's head shook like a rattle, Ah Cheng couldn't say anything when he saw this, and was about to leave, but Liang Jiashu suddenly stopped him from behind.

"Do you think Lan Jieying is really suitable?"

On the one hand, Liang Jiashu was very jealous of Lan Jieying's bad temper, and on the other hand, Liang Jiashu had to admit that Lan Jieying, who was once known as the "beautiful Wutai Mountain", was indeed the most suitable candidate for the amorous boss lady in "Wulin Gaiden" among all the female artists in wireless, which was what made him hesitate.

"Uncle Liang, there is a saying called wealth and danger, you recommend Lan Jieying, if Mr. Lin is really satisfied, it will definitely be of great benefit to you, and Lan Jieying = has had ups and downs over the years, and has been hidden by the company three times, you should also know that there are some good things, you give her a chance now, if she becomes popular again in the future, at least she will not forget Uncle Liang's goodness!"

When Ah Cheng said this, Liang Jiashu felt that this risk was indeed worth taking.

Lan Jieying is extremely beautiful, with a smile and a coquettish attitude, when she first joined the wireless, she was the most optimistic Hua Dan, and it can be said that she was favored by thousands of graces, but when she renewed the contract with the wireless, she was hidden by the wireless for the first time because she refused the 5-year long contract.

Before the stock market crash in 87, wireless filmed "The Great Era" in advance under the "inspiration" of Lin Youlun, and because of Lin Youlun's words, Lan Jieying was unblocked again.

The hit screening of "The Great Era" brought Lan Jieying back to the position of a first-line actress, but it didn't take long for her to relapse into her old ways, and Wireless originally planned to use her to shoot "Greater Hong Kong", but she thought the "pig intestines" shape was too ugly and unwilling to cut her hair and refused; asked her to shoot costume films, but she thought it was too hot in summer and was afraid of fever rash and refused, and the wireless executives hid her again in anger.

This time, no one interceded for Lan Jieying, so until the expiration of her contract with Wireless, she was not reused by Wireless.

After leaving Wireless, Lan Jieying went to Taiwan to develop, but everything was not as easy as she imagined. Lan Jieying, who has always been self-assured, offended the high-level because she didn't play a game with unspoken rules, and was even slapped by her peers for being late, and she was resentful over there.

At this time, Wireless re-contacted Lan Jieying. recruited her to "return to the nest" on the basis of a one-year contract, and starred in two major dramas "The Woman Who Picked the Star" and "The Legend of Ten Thousand Families" one after another, not only her acting skills were highly appreciated, but her work attitude also changed.

But just when everyone thought that Lan Jieying had "opened up", Lan Jieying began to be dissatisfied with TVB again, only signed a head contract, and pushed off many dramas at the same time, and then changed to the manager company of Cheng Long's agent Chen Ziqiang, striving to develop in the film industry.

After a pause, Wireless once again announced the ban on Lan Jieying, and any movies related to her were not allowed to be promoted on Wireless.

The strength of wireless and Shao Yifu's shareholder status in Jiayi Cinema Line have made many film companies jealous, so Lan Jieying's development in the film industry has not improved much.

Lin Youlun became the owner of wireless and relaxed the restrictions on artists in the contract, and in this context, it became possible to find Lan Jieying to come back to film wirelessly.

Based on this consideration, Liang Jiashu finally put Lan Jieying's name on the list of candidates recommended to Lin Youlun.

——

Lin Youlun saw Lan Jieying's name on the list sent by Liang Jiashu, and to be honest, he was also a little surprised.

When I think of Lan Jieying, Lin Youlun can't help but think of the glamorous Spring Thirty Niang in "Journey to the West", which will no longer be filmed, peach blossoms are everywhere, and there is no piece of armor left!

Let Lan Jieying play the female shopkeeper in "Wulin Gaiden", which is really a surprise for Lin Youlun.

It's just that Liang Jiashu didn't know this, he was sitting on the sofa opposite, holding the tea that Wu's mother had just sent in his hand, he was very nervous, and he had been secretly paying attention to the change in Lin Youlun's expression.

As soon as Lin Youlun put down the list in his hand, Liang Jiashu hurriedly explained: "Mr. Lin, about Lan Jieying......"

Lin Youlun knew what Liang Jiashu wanted to say, and raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"You can think of letting Lan Jieying play the female shopkeeper, which means that you have indeed spent a lot of effort on pondering the role, and I am very satisfied with this candidate."

Liang Jiashu was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when Lin Youlun suddenly changed his words.

"The candidate for the female shopkeeper is good, but the people you recommend for other roles are really not much!"

Liang Jiashu suddenly became nervous, looking at Lin Youlun and not knowing how to explain it.

"Okay, I know that you have to take into account the sophistication of many companies when casting, so I won't embarrass you, and you don't have to choose the rest of these roles, just let me decide."

It is said that Liang Jiashu should feel lost after being deprived of the right to recommend roles, but in fact, he has a feeling of relief, on the one hand, he has to take care of the artists who are close to him, and on the other hand, he can't make Lin Youlun feel that he is nepotistic and sandwiched in the middle, he really has a thankless feeling.

In any case, Lin Youlun's acceptance of Lan Jieying as the heroine is already a success for Liang Jiashu, and now Lin Youlun has taken back the right to cast, which is actually a manifestation of compassion for his subordinates.

Liang Jiashu was not complaining about this, but was full of gratitude. (To be continued......)
