Xu Ke spent a week carefully reading the entire manuscript of "Zhu Xian", and after Lin Youlun's consent, he left a copy of the manuscript, and then sent the original manuscript back.

Taking the opportunity to return the manuscript, Xu Ke also tested Lin Youlun's views on the leading role of the adapted movie.

After reading the whole novel, Xu Ke feels that the relationship between the characters in the book is somewhat similar to Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu": Baguio corresponds to Ren Yingying, who is also the daughter of the leader of the Demon Sect; Tian Ling'er corresponds to Yue Lingshan, the same brother and sister of her childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately they are all falling flowers and deliberately flowing ruthlessly; Of course, there is also a Lu Xueqi, but this is a unique character in "Zhu Xian".

Using the model of "One Man and Three Women" to re-compile the story of the movie version of "Zhu Xian", and adapt "Zhu Xian" into a Xianxia version of "The East is Undefeated", this is Xu Ke's initial idea.

"I think since it is a movie adaptation, the idea does not have to be limited to the novel, such as the fox demon Xiaobai mentioned in the book, and Xiaohuan, the granddaughter of Zhou Zhou Xian, can be excavated more deeply." Lin Youlun's words are actually hinting to Xu Ke that he can let go of his hands and feet to adapt.

When Xu Ke heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was most worried that Lin Youlun would ask him to adapt it according to the original novel, which would undoubtedly be a very painful thing for him, who had always played cards out of common sense.

Lin Youlun relaxed the restrictions on adaptation, and Xu Ke was about to ask him about the role actor candidates, when the nanny Wu Ma pushed open the study door and walked in.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Hu from Ming Pao Weekly has arrived."

As soon as Mother Wu said this, Lin Youlun remembered. He also made an appointment today to meet Hu Xinzhe, editor-in-chief of "Ming Zhou".

The first "Xiangjiang Qunfang Spectrum" was voted for after 3 months. This year's "Top Ten Beauties" list was decided. Hu Xinzhe came today to report the matter to Lin Youlun.

Xu could see that Lin Youlun still had to receive other visitors, so he planned to get up and say goodbye, but Lin Youlun forced him to stay, "Director Xu should have heard of this selection of "Ming Zhou", how is this list, it just so happens that Director Xu can also give some suggestions. ”

Xu Ke always felt that Lin Youlun left him behind, it should not be simple, he just wanted to hear his opinion. But what exactly Lin Youlun has in mind is still a little unpredictable at this time.

Hu Xinzhe walked into Lin Youlun's study under the leadership of Wu's mother, and saw Xu Ke sitting on the sofa next to him, and was slightly stunned.

"What a coincidence, Director Xu is also there?" Hu Xinzhe nodded from Xu Ke very kindly, as the editor-in-chief of "Ming Zhou", he and Xu Ke have also had several contacts, and they can be regarded as half acquaintances.

"I just finished discussing a movie with Mr. Lin...... Xu Ke got up with a smile and shook hands with Hu Xinzhe.

Lin Youlun beckoned Hu Xinzhe to sit down together, without waiting for Hu Xinzhe to speak. He took the initiative to ask, "The results of the selection have come out?" ”

Originally, Xu Ke was present, but Hu Xinzhe didn't want to talk about it directly. However, looking at Lin Youlun's meaning, he didn't plan to avoid Xu Ke, so Hu Xinzhe didn't have any scruples, and directly told the results of the selection of the "Top Ten Beauties".

"The first place is Zhong Chuhong, "Ming Zhou" distributed a total of 5 issues of magazine votes, and Honggu alone won more than 128,000 votes, almost one-fifth of all votes, and the judges scored, and her score was also the highest."

Lin Youlun nodded after hearing this, this result did not surprise him.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry began to circulate the saying "no matter how popular Zhong Chuhong is, no matter how popular Zhou Runfa is", before Lin Youlun and Zhong Chuhong met, she was already a popular actress in Hong Kong, and later took over the first real Hong Kong special effects blockbuster "Legend of the Night", which established her status as the first actress in Hong Kong in one fell swoop.

Although Zhong Chuhong has reduced the number of films in recent years, she has starred in high-quality films, so in the minds of many fans, she is still the perfect embodiment of the goddess, and it should be said that she deserves to be the first place.

Xu Ke had expected that Zhong Chuhong could take the first place, not to mention anything else, Zhong Chuhong is the woman who has been by Lin Youlun's side for the longest time, "Ming Zhou" will definitely consider some of Lin Youlun's ideas, plus Zhong Chuhong herself has the qualification to be the first, "Ming Zhou" will put her at the top of the list, which not only pleases Lin Youlun, but also will not affect the authority of the list, it seems that in order to make this list, Hu Xinzhe has worked hard.

It's easy to guess the first place on the list, but it's a bit tricky to figure out who the second place is.

At least in Xu Ke's opinion, there are at least two people who are qualified to rank second, and these two have no special relationship with Lin Youlun, so Xu Ke is also very curious about who is in front.

"In second place is Lin Qingxia, who has more than 80,000 votes, but the judges scored very high......" Hu Xinzhe said this, and especially glanced at Xu Ke, "Speaking of which, there is a lot of credit to Director Xu." ”

Xu Ke looked puzzled, "How can Editor-in-Chief Hu say this?" ”

Hu Xinzhe explained with a smile: "The Undefeated Oriental released some time ago should be the most classic one left by Lin Qingxia in Hong Kong movies so far, there are not a few audiences who like Lin Qingxia because of the role of Undefeated in the East, didn't Director Xu help Lin Qingxia pull a ticket?" ”

Xu Ke was immediately relieved, it is true that the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" has brought Lin Qingxia a lot of popularity, so it is not unreasonable for Hu Xinzhe to say this.

"Since Lin Qingxia is second, then Mei Yanfang must be third!"

"Director Xu Gaojian!" Hu Xinzhe nodded, "Mei Yanfang won the second place, with more than 100,000 votes, mainly because she has a lot of fans, and she has recently been a judge of "The Voice", and she is very popular. ”

Lin Youlun didn't speak, just smiled and motioned for Hu Xinzhe to continue.

"The fourth place is Wang Guxian......" Hu Xinzhe was only halfway through his words, and his eyes looked at Xu Ke again.

Xu Ke reacted quickly this time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is not my credit, Editor-in-Chief Hu should not put gold on my face again." ”

Hu Xinzhe doesn't see it that way, "Director Xu is too modest, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is Miss Wang's famous work, that film is so successful, of course you have a share of the credit." ”

"Where, in fact, I didn't even think about looking for Miss Wang to play Nie Xiaoqian, if it wasn't for Mr. Lin's recommendation, this role and Miss Wang might have really missed." Xu Ke is telling the truth, not to mention that he is still in front of Lin Youlun, he doesn't dare to take credit, everyone knows that it is Lin Youlun who is supporting Wang Guxian behind his back, and it will not be good if it causes misunderstanding.

Lin Youlun finally spoke at this time, "Seriously, Xiaoxian and Director Xu have indeed collaborated on a lot of movies, and she talked to me some time ago that she wanted to continue to cooperate with Director Xu...... Therefore, the words of Xinzhe also make sense. ”

Lin Youlun's words didn't have any special meaning in Hu Xinzhe's eyes, but when they fell on Xu Ke's ears, it felt different, and he had now vaguely guessed Lin Youlun's intentions.

"Mr. Lin said this, I suddenly had an idea, can Lu Xueqi in "Zhu Xian" ask Miss Wang to play?"

Xu Ke used words to test Lin Youlun's attitude, but Lin Youlun just smiled noncommittally, but had no intention of continuing to discuss this topic, but let Hu Xinzhe continue to speak.

"The fifth place is Jacy Zheng...... The sixth place is Zhao Yazhi. ”

Hu Xinzhe said while Xu Ke was observing Lin Youlun's expression, and he found that when he talked about Zhao Yazhi, Lin Youlun's eyebrows were slightly raised, although it was a very subtle movement, but Xu Ke still caught it.

Xu Ke suddenly thought of the fox demon Xiaobai mentioned by Lin Youlun before, isn't this role for Zhao Yazhi? Could it be that Lin Youlun kept him down, just to hint to him that the heroine in "Zhu Xian" should be selected from the list made by "Ming Zhou"?

The more Xu Ke thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, he was distracted for a while, and Hu Xinzhe had already talked about Zhou Comin, who was ranked eighth.

Xu Ke and Zhou Comin have not cooperated directly, but they know that Zhou Comin is the girl next door who grew up with Lin Youlun's childhood sweetheart, and with this relationship alone, she has no problem ranking eighth.

Zhou Comin is the kind of artist who has multiple developments, usually very low-key, but she is very famous, and all of this benefits her comprehensiveness.

In Hong Kong, people who sing better than Zhou Yimin may not be as good as her in acting; And people who are better at acting than her, singing is not necessarily inferior to her, Zhou Yimin doesn't need too much effort, just with her pure and beautiful appearance, she can easily have many fans.

Back then, Wang Guxian and Zhou Comin were jealous because of Lin Youlun's rivalry, and Xu Ke suddenly thought that if Wang Guxian was found to play Lu Xueqi, then the most suitable candidate for Baguio would be Zhou Comin.

Xu Ke really thought about this issue, and Hu Xinzhe then talked about Qiu Shuzhen, who ranked ninth, this is another female star who has an unclear relationship with Lin Youlun.

Qiu Shuzhen played some vase-like heroines in Wang Jing's movies in the early years, and suddenly became popular last year with "The Silence of the Lambs", but what left the deepest impression on Xu Ke was the earliest time, Qiu Shuzhen, Wang Guxian, and Zhou Yimin starred in the TV series "Kunlun" together.

Xu Ke had an idea, Qiu Shuzhen's image is very suitable for Tian Ling'er in "Zhu Xian", if this role is asked to play her, it should be a very good idea.

The more Xu Ke thought about it, the more excited he became, on the top ten beauties, the heroine of "Zhu Xian" accounted for four seats, if the movie could really discharge such a lineup, the luxury would definitely not be inferior to "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated".
