Lin Youlun has a lot of classic sitcoms in his head, the United States, the mainland, and Hong Kong, and the easiest way is to take out the most classic "Male and Female Love" in Hong Kong, which is known as the "Millennium Drama Series", which set off a hot topic in Hong Kong as soon as it was broadcast, and its ratings ranked first in several weeks, and its finale ratings hit an average of 47 points and a maximum of 50 points, attracting 3.018 million Hong Kong viewers to watch the miracle.

Used as a Taiwanese celebration drama, "Male and Female Love" is definitely enough, but Lin Youlun's ambition does not stop there, he hopes that this TV series can make a difference in the entire Chinese-speaking region, and "Male and Female Love", which is based on the theme of showing the life of Hong Kong citizens, can achieve a great response in Hong Kong, but it is difficult to make a big difference in other Chinese-speaking areas outside Hong Kong.

The first element of the success of a sitcom is that the story must make the audience feel relatable, which is something that the American "Friends" and the mainland's "I Love My Home" have done very well, and Lin Youlun must also work hard in this area if he wants this TV series to be successful in the entire Chinese-speaking region.

The living environment of the six protagonists in "Friends" is a typical epitome of life in the United States, the main scenes of the story are placed in the café, and in the United States, the café is people's favorite place for leisure and entertainment, where people chat, make friends, and make great physical and mental relaxation, and the screenwriter and director chose such an environment as the plot background, which will naturally make the American audience have a sense of intimacy.

In the same vein, "I Love My Home" is also through the 90s North. A social cross-section of a family of six in Beijing, their neighborhoods, relatives and friends, etc., with the living room as the main scene, reflects the various types of characters in society through dialogue. It shows the changes in the lives of ordinary people in the tide of reform. Naturally, it was a big hit when it was broadcast on the mainland.

A sitcom set in modern times. Because of regional differences, it is obviously impossible to make the audience in the entire Chinese-speaking region feel cordial, so Lin Youlun thought of the theme of costume martial arts.

Jin Yong and Gu Long's martial arts novels are well known in the entire Chinese world, even Lin Youlun became famous with this at the beginning, and it is indeed suitable to shoot this theme, and Lin Youlun has a ready-made TV series in his heart that can be "borrowed".

After Lin Youlun told Lin Zhiling about this idea, the other party was very confused.

"Friends" set the main scenes in a café, and "I Love My Home" set the main scenes in the living room. For a sitcom with the theme of costume martial arts, where should the main scenes be filmed?

"What do you think, what are the scenes that appear most in various martial arts novels, film and television works?" Lin Youlun prompted.

Lin Zhiling tried to guess a martial arts arena first, and Lin Youlun shook his head.

Lin Zhiling then guessed the temple again, but Lin Youlun still shook his head.

"Is it an inn?" Lin Zhiling tried to ask after being the most embarrassed.

Lin Youlun finally showed a relieved expression on his face, and this was the answer he was waiting for.

But in all martial arts novels, there will basically be a scene of the inn, and many wonderful plots take place in the inn, and the main scene of the TV series that Lin Youlun is going to shoot is also in the inn. To be precise, it's a series of hilarious stories that revolve around the female shopkeeper of a small town inn and several of her buddies.

"I've already thought of the name of this TV series, it's called "Wulin Gaiden"!"

——

Hong Kong City Hall. A "stand-up comedy" performance has just ended.

Huang Zihua stood on the stage and bowed to thank the audience, and he was rewarded with a warm applause.

Lin Youlun and Zhou Yimin mixed in the applauding audience and did not attract too many people's attention, including Huang Zihua on the stage.

The word "stand-upcomedy" comes from the Cantonese translation of the English "Stand-UpComedy", and the person who invented the word is Huang Zihua standing on the stage at the moment, and this form of performance is in some ways similar to stand-up comedy in the mainland and talk shows in the United States.

It was the first time for Zhou Yimin to see the performance of "Dong Du Comedy", and before that, she never thought that telling jokes on a stage without any sets and decorations could be so funny, and applauding at this moment was definitely a heartfelt move.

Lin Youlun's applause seemed very casual, and he took Zhou Yimin to watch this "Dong Du Laugh" performance tonight, he also had other purposes, so he was more concerned about Huang Zihua than the content of his performance.

After thanking the audience, Huang Zihua returned backstage to remove his makeup, but there were already people waiting for him in the dressing room.

"Hello Mr. Huang, I'm Mr. Lin Youlun's assistant."

Lin Zhiling wore a pair of black-framed glasses with no prescription, and the black tight-fitting skirt outlined her perfect curves, coupled with her tall figure and sweet face, she left a very deep impression on Huang Zihua at first sight.

It's a pity that the identity of "Lin Youlun's assistant" shattered all of Huang Zihua's illusions at once, and his own attitude became polite.

Huang Zihua used to work as a screenwriter in TVB for a period of time, but his real interest was in acting, so he joined the Hong Kong Drama Troupe later, and also worked as a radio DJ for a period of time.

After Lin Youlun became the owner of wireless, he was also Huang Zihua's "former boss", and Huang Zihua was surprised that he suddenly sent someone to find him, but also excited.

After becoming famous with "Dong Du Comedy", Huang Zihua has always hoped to bring this kind of performance to film and television performances, at first he worked movies, but the effect was not good, and then he hit the idea of a TV series, but he has been suffering from no way.

And now Lin Youlun actually came to see his performance in person, which in itself is an affirmation of his efforts in the past few years.

"Mr. Lin watched Mr. Huang's performance tonight, and he is very interested in Mr. Huang and wants to talk to Mr. Huang!"

When he was sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and this kind of happiness came too suddenly, which made Huang Zihua feel like he was caught off guard.

"Right now?" He subconsciously asked.

After getting Lin Zhiling's affirmative answer, Huang Ziqiang hurriedly tidied up his hairstyle, and then prepared to go to see Lin Youlun with Lin Zhiling.

Seeing Huang Zihua's anxious appearance, Lin Zhiling couldn't help but remind:

"Mr. Huang, I think you should take off the makeup on your face first, it might be better."

Huang Zihua realized that he was too anxious, smiled apologetically at Lin Zhiling, and called the makeup artist to ask the other party to hurry up and help him remove his makeup.

——

The meeting was arranged in a café near the Hong Kong City Hall, and when Huang Zihua followed Lin Zhiling to arrive, Lin Youlun and Zhou Comin were chatting about an unknown topic, anyway, Zhou Comin was so amused that he covered his mouth and chuckled.

Seeing Huang Zihua coming over, Zhou Comin stood up first and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Huang Zihua, but Lin Youlun next to him still sat upright.

Huang Zihua was confused by this battle, could it be that the person looking for him was not Lin Youlun but Zhou Yimin? But what is Zhou Comin looking for him?

At this time, Zhou Comin spoke: "Mr. Huang, I watched your performance today, it really opened my eyes, if I have the opportunity, I hope to invite "Entertainment Star Weekly" to do a show." ”

Huang Zihua glanced at Lin Youlun next to him, and saw that he had no reaction to this, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't put this expression on his face, and replied politely: "It should be my honor to be on Miss Zhou's show!" ”

Zhou Yimin nodded, and then made an unexpected move.

She took Lin Zhiling's arm on the side, and then said to each other very intimately: "Okay, Zhiling, now we can go shopping!" ”

Lin Zhiling glanced at Lin Youlun, and saw that he nodded slightly, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Follow Lin Youlun's side as an assistant, although the income is very high, but the personal time is extraordinarily small, in addition to sleeping in a day, there is basically no other free time, in the past, I accompanied several women around Lin Youlun to go shopping in order to better adapt to the role of assistant, and now Lin Zhiling has regarded this kind of thing as a kind of relaxation after work.

Anyway, now the relationship between her and several women around Lin Youlun is getting better and better, they will ask her to go shopping together every once in a while, Lin Youlun never stops, and Lin Zhiling is also happy to give herself a holiday.

The two women left arm in arm, leaving only Huang Zihua with a stunned expression.

Lin Youlun beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over and sit down.

Huang Zihua was a little excited when he sat down, and almost knocked over the coffee that the waiter had just served.

Lin Youlun didn't talk nonsense, and explained his intention to Huang Zihua straight to the point.

"Mr. Huang, I came to you this time because there was a character in a TV series that I thought was very suitable for you, I wonder if you have any ideas to go back to wireless work?"

Lin Youlun came forward in person, which was already enough to give Huang Zihua face.

Huang Zihua agreed directly without even asking what role he played, and his straightforward attitude surprised Lin Youlun.

"This is the script for the first two episodes of that TV series, Mr. Huang can take a look...... The main reason why I asked you to play it is because this is a sitcom, which is very suitable for your 'stand-up comedy' performance style. ”

When Huang Zihua took over the script, he actually didn't believe what Lin Youlun said, because in his opinion, only the script he wrote would be the most suitable for his performance, but after reading the script of the first episode, he couldn't let go of the story.

Especially the role of "Bai Zhantang" in the play, Huang Zihua involuntarily felt that this role was specially prepared for him. (To be continued......)
