The co-production invested by Lin Youlun must have filmmakers from the mainland involved, either actors or very important staff behind the scenes, such as "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", which specifically found Zhang Yimou as a photographer.

According to Lin Youlun's meaning, if "Super Police" is to be used as a co-production, there must be a mainland actor to play an important role in the film, and the role of this mainland female public security officer is the best choice.

Yang Ziqiong is not a mainland actor, so naturally she is no longer suitable for this role.

Cheng Long knows very limited mainland actors, and the only actress he can know is Gong Li, and it is not bad to play this role as Gong Li's Cannes actress, but as soon as this idea was proposed, Lin Youlun denied it.

"Gong Li is going to participate in the filming of mainland director Chen Qige's new film "Farewell My Concubine" with Zhang Yurong this year, I don't know when this movie will be filmed, do you know that mainland directors pay more attention to the artistic expression of films, with my understanding of Chen Qige, it is impossible for this movie to satisfy him without seven or eight months of water grinding work, can you wait for such a long time?"

As soon as Cheng Long heard this, he immediately dispelled the idea just now, "Super Police" plans to start filming after the Spring Festival, and it will be finished in two or three months at most, and Gong Li's schedule will definitely not be arranged.

In this way, Cheng Long didn't know who to find to play this role, and Lin Youlun didn't think of a too suitable candidate for a while, and the two didn't discuss a result on this topic in the end.

North in February. In Beijing, the temperature is still below zero. Get off the plane. Lin Youlun felt a chill on his face. Although they had been prepared, everyone was still a little uncomfortable at first, and when they arrived at the hotel, they hid in a heated room and refused to come out.

During this period, Cheng Long and Zhou Comin went to participate in a rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, and the song "Clearly My Heart" was contacted several times when they were in Hong Kong, and there was no problem with cooperating on stage, and Zhou Comin, as the host of this Spring Festival Gala, had prepared everything CCTV had prepared in advance for what he wanted to say at the gala. She just needs to memorize it.

The other four hosts of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Zhongshen, Ni Bei, Zhang Hongmin, and Li Ruiying are all very kind and easy to get along with, and because Zhou Comin is a Hong Kong compatriot, he also takes special care of her, and after a round of rehearsals, Zhou Comin has cultivated some tacit understanding with the four hosts.

Lin Youlun didn't need to worry too much about the Spring Festival Gala, so he took the time to go to the crew of "Farewell My Concubine", because it was about to be the Spring Festival, the crew had been disbanded, Zhang Yurong returned to Hong Kong, and Gong Li also returned to the mountain. Higashi is reunited with his family. When I came here, I only found Chen Qige.

Lin Youlun wanted to discuss with Chen Qige to see if he could lend Gong Li for two months. In this way, Gong Li can catch up with the filming of "Super Police", Chen Qige was very polite when he received Lin Youlun, but when he heard Lin Youlun's intention, he shook his head.

After this period of running-in, it was not easy for several leading actors to "enter the play", if Gong Li was lent to Lin Youlun for two months, not only Gong Li's performance would be problematic, but also several other leading actors would be affected, which was unacceptable to Chen Qige.

Chen Qige's respect for Lin Youlun is one thing, but he refuses to give in at all when it comes to filming, which is also an admirable point of mainland directors in this era, these people's pursuit of film art is pure and does not have too much utilitarian color.

Chen Jige didn't agree, and Lin Youlun couldn't do anything, so the role of the mainland female public security officer in "Super Police" had to reconsider other people to play it.

——

February 15, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The 1991 Spring Festival Gala kicked off in the CCTV No. 1 studio hall, Lin Youlun was invited to sit in the first row as a special guest, and Chen Huiqing and Lin Fengqiao's mother and son were arranged in the middle position.

didn't sit together because the camera opportunity at the party was particularly "taken care of" by Lin Youlun, and Chen Huiqing and Lin Fengqiao were reluctant to show up in front of the camera.

Cheng Long and Lin Youlun sat together, and they would not go up until the performance, and Zhou Yimin had a special position in the backstage because he was responsible for hosting.

The Spring Festival Gala of this era may not be as gorgeous as the Hong Kong side, but the festival atmosphere is very good.

The opening song and dance "Hundred Sons in Spring" was performed by a group of cute kindergarten children, Lin Youlun specially observed the expressions of the audience sitting around, the smiles on everyone's faces were filled with the unique spirit of this era, unlike the Spring Festival Gala in later generations, the program form is more and more diverse, and there are more and more patterns, but the audience still can't help but doze off when sitting in the audience.

Although Cheng Long has participated in the rehearsal, he is still full of freshness about this party, while Lin Youlun feels more of a kind of nostalgia, many familiar faces in his memory, especially sketch actors, see almost all acquaintances - Huang Hong, Song Dandan, Feng Gong, Niu Qun, Gong Hanlin, Cai Ming, Uncle Benshan, who has not yet become the king of sketches, has revealed Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, all of whom are common actors in the Spring Festival Gala in later generations.

Cai Guoqing also holds the title of idol singer, General Li is in high spirits, and Song Jiying has begun to show his singing voice for the first time...... All of them were glamorous characters on the stage later.

This Spring Festival Gala, CCTV did make great efforts, not only invited Cheng Long and Zhou Yimin from Hong Kong through Lin Youlun's relationship, but also Taiwanese singer Jiang Yuheng was also invited to participate and sang his classic masterpiece "Looking Back Again" on stage.

Lin Youlun acquired Taiwan UFO Records, Jiang Yuheng happened to be the singer of UFO, and he also came over to greet Lin Youlun before the party started.

When the host introduced Jiang Yuheng's identity, he said that he was a Taiwanese singer, and only Lin Youlun knew that this identity had a lot of water, to be precise, Jiang Yuheng was a Korean-Chinese, but he was developing in the Taiwanese music scene.

It is precisely because of Jiang Yuheng's identity that he can appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala without scruples, otherwise with the political atmosphere in Taiwan and the mainland at this time, singers from Taiwan will not easily come to the mainland to sing, which is very different from Hong Kong, which has been determined to return.

It's okay that there is no comparison, Jiang Yuheng sang a song on stage, and then compared with the previous mainland songs that corresponded to the occasion, Taiwanese music at this time has just gotten rid of the title of "Glamorous Sound", but it is indeed a long distance beyond the mainland in terms of development level, whether it is the singing style or the artistic conception of the lyrics, it gives people a completely different feeling.

Jiang Yuheng's singing naturally won warm applause from the audience, and the hosts Zhao Zhongshen and Ni Bei walked on stage.

When he arrived at the center of the stage, Ni Bei, who was walking behind, stopped Zhao Zhongshen and asked with some confusion: "Is there one less person around us?" ”

"You're talking about Comet, right?" Zhao Zhongxiang had a smile on his face, his tone was calm, serious and friendly, but Lin Youlun always felt a little awkward when he heard this, he was more accustomed to Zhao Zhongxiang's explanation in "The World of Animals", and he was still a little uncomfortable watching him host Chunwang.

"yes, why didn't she come up with us?" Ni Bei then asked.

The conversation between the two seems very natural, but in Lin Youlun's opinion, the traces of the design are too heavy, and when I hear it, I know that Lu Dao is arranged in advance, of course, it is very good that the Spring Festival Gala at this time can make such a line design, it can only be said that Lin Youlun has the vision of future generations, and the requirements will naturally be a little picky.

"You don't know what to say about this, Comet Min came from Hong Kong this time, not only to host the show with us, she also brought a song to everyone, and another singer is also very famous, he is the famous Hong Kong movie star Mr. Cheng Long." In Zhao Zhong's unhurried introduction, Cheng Long stood up from his seat, and the audience began to applaud at this time.

Zhou Comin came out of the backstage and walked together with Cheng Long, the music sounded, and the two sang the song "Clearly Confess My Heart" face to face.

Cheng Long's Mandarin pronunciation is more standard, and Zhou Comin's singing voice also has a little Cantonese pronunciation, which is full of Hong Kong flavor, which is also in line with her identity.

Cheng Long's singing skills are average, so the whole song is Zhou Comin with him, fortunately, "Clearly Explain My Heart" is relatively simple, Zhou Comin's rich voice control in the female voice part covers up the shortcomings of Cheng Long's relatively single voice very well, and the audience is fascinated.

Lin Youlun followed the melody of the song with both hands, gently beat the beat, and behaved naturally in front of the camera.

After the camera moved away, Lin Youlun stopped what he was doing, glanced at the program list, and found that the next song program was called "Apple is Ripe", and the singer wrote Chen Hong.

Lin Youlun's first reaction was that he was dazzled, and then he saw that it was Chen Hong.

Chen Hong actually could sing, and he also came to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which made Lin Youlun a little unexpected, because of his preconceived impression, he subconsciously thought that this Chen Hong was the Chen Hong he knew, but he didn't think about the same name and surname.

When the singing of Comin and Cheng Long ended on stage, Lin Youlun began to look forward to Chen Hong's appearance, out of curiosity, he really wanted to hear what Chen Hong was like singing.

But as soon as Chen Hong came on stage, Lin Youlun was dumbfounded, he stared at the other party's face for half a minute, and finally determined that this Chen Hong was not Chen Hong, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, secretly scolding himself for being confused.

Cheng Long, who returned to his seat, saw Lin Youlun shaking his head and laughing at the same time, and was curious, "What, Mr. Lin knows the singer on stage?" ”

"I know an actor with the same name and surname as her, and when I first saw the program list, I thought it was that person, and when she first came on stage, I kept staring at her, and I wondered why she was so makeup that I couldn't even recognize her." Lin Youlun explained with a half-smile.

Cheng Long glanced at the program list, and his heart moved.

"The actor with the same name and surname that Mr. Lin said is the heroine in "Mythology", right?" (To be continued......)
