In mid-April, the crew of "Shaolin Temple" led by the Ministry of Culture of the mainland returned to Yanjing, after the publicity work they had already carried out in most Asian countries, and in the next half month, they will focus on touring the country. [Full text reading]

This is the mainland Ministry of Culture and Concord company after the joint agreement after the propaganda measures, Concord earlier through the "myth" to promote the culture of the Qin Dynasty in China to Europe and the United States and other developed countries, this time the Ministry of Culture will naturally not let go of this great opportunity to improve Chinese film culture, so from the very beginning, the Ministry of Culture has taken care of the "Shaolin Temple" propaganda work.

Wang Xiaohu does not have any opinions, after all, the more proactive the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the less pressure on the work of the Concord Company, and there is also a part of the publicity expenses left, which can not only improve the promotion of Chinese culture, but also make the publicity of "Shaolin Temple" in all aspects, with such a good free helper, Wang Xiaohu is also happy to be idle, isn't it?

So taking advantage of this free time, Wang Xiaohu began to do another thing: the cast of Zhang Luo's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Especially for the generation born in the 70s and 80s, the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a classic of Condor shooting.

Just like creating "Shanghai Tang" and "Huo Yuanjia", what Wang Xiaohu has to do is to improve the martial arts effects and shooting skills in the film, anyway, Weng Meiling has returned to Hong Kong, in order to make "Shooting the Condor" a classic production that cannot be surpassed by future generations, Wang Xiaohu will inevitably have to work harder.

When Wang Xiaohu told Jin Yong the news that he was preparing to shoot "Shooting the Condor", Jin Yong was very happy.

"Xiaohu, I've been waiting for nine years, and you're finally willing to shoot this drama!"

Jin Yong's mood can be imagined, in the past nine years, Gu Long's works have been made into TV series and movies, which has greatly increased the sales of his novels in Southeast Asia, but on the other hand, the copyright was guarded by Wang Xiaohu in the first few days, and after adapting a "Condor Shooting" into a trilogy, he still didn't shoot, saying that he would wait for someone.

Later, Wang Xiaohu released the copyright, but the results of several TV series filmed by TVB and Li were not very good, it is undeniable that the cast selected by the two TV stations is very strong, but in order to please the ratings, the novel was adapted in a mess, and many of them were detached from the essence of the original work, how can you make Jin Yong not sigh.

The hits of "Jingwumen" and "Shanghai Tang" gave Jin Yong some hope, because it is impossible for several Hong Kong TV workers to be willing to spend a lot of money on big productions like Wang Xiaohu and shoot TV series like movies.

Therefore, when Jin Yongyi heard the good news, his excitement could not be expressed in words for a while.

"I've been waiting for nine years!" Wang Xiaohu comforted Jin Yong and said: "With me, don't worry about the quality of the TV series, I will shoot in strict accordance with the script nine years ago." ”

"What about the actors! Who will play Guo Jing, who will play Huang Rong! Jin Yong shouted: "These two people are the soul characters in "Shooting the Condor", and they can't be played by anyone." ”

"Ann, Ann!" Wang Xiaohu said: "I came to you today to implement this matter, to finalize the cast first, so that you can rest easy." ”

There is a special scenic spot in the southeasternmost corner of Concord Film and Television City, which is known as Hong Kong's "Little Jiangnan" by insiders.

"Little Jiangnan" is a scene specially planned by Wang Xiaohu in the early days of the creation of the film and television city, mainly for the filming of "Shooting the Condor" for construction, after completion, it has welcomed "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "Yangmen Female General", "Flying Eagle" and other TVB large-scale costume TV series.

Because of the beautiful scenery and the atmosphere of the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River in the mainland, most of the costume scenes in the Hong Kong film and television industry are filmed here, becoming one of the hottest scenes in Concord Film and Television City.

Not far from the "Little Jiangnan", there is the "Little West Lake" specially framed by Wang Xiaohu for "The Legend of the New White Lady", of course, it is far inferior to the West Lake of Hangzhou in the mainland, only cloning the two scenery of the broken bridge and the remnant snow and the moon in the three pools in the ten scenes of the West Lake, and other related "New White" exterior scenes have also been filmed in the mainland.

Today, the scene of "Little Jiangnan" is crowded, and several old actors of Jiayi TV Station, which went bankrupt in the early years, and several popular Xiaosheng and Hua Dan of TVB were invited to Yanyu Building as guests.

Zeng Jiang (Huang Yaoshi), Yang Zelin (Ouyang Feng), Liu Dan (Hong Qigong), Liu Zhaoming (Southern Emperor), Qin Pei (Temujin), Xie Xian (Yang Tiexin), Zhu Tiehe (Guo Xiaotian), Shi Jian (Qiu Qianren), Guan Haishan (Lu Chengfeng), Jiang Yi (Ke Zhenevil) and other old drama bones sat in the middle and drank tea.

On the round table on the left side of the Yanyu Building sat Miao Qiaowei (Yang Kang), Huang Yuncai (Ouyang Ke), Yang Panpan (Mu Nianci), Qin Huang (Old Naughty Boy), Wu Mengda (Elder Peng), Huang Wenhui (Mei Chaofeng) and others.

On the round table on the right are Huang Yuehua, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, Shen Moyan, and Weng Meiling in the "New Seven Little Blessings", these five young people have been busy serving tea and water to the actors at the two tables, and replacing snacks.

"Xingzai, did Ah Hu say when he came over?"

Among the people present, only Wu Mengda and New Qixiaofu were more familiar, so after drinking tea for half an hour, he opened his mouth and asked Stephen Chow. "You've been waiting for a long time."

Among the present, Shi Jian is the largest, and he is an artist who has cooperated with Wang Xiaohu a lot, in the early years, when he and Guan Dexing filmed "Huang Feihong", Zeng Jiang and Liu Dan had not yet entered the industry.

So when he heard that Wu Mengda was going to ask Stephen Chow to urge Wang Xiaohu, he spoke: "Ada, don't urge, Xiaohu has a lot of things recently, and we old guys can still wait." ”

"Yes, we haven't come out to get together for a long time, thanks to Xiaohu who is willing to give us old guys a bowl to eat, it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer, come, Uncle Jian drinks tea, your old body is still so strong." Zeng Jiang said with a smile.

The old drama bones, Xiaosheng, and Hua Dan were busy accompanying the smiling faces.

After drinking tea, Weng Meiling hurriedly came over with an antique teapot to pour tea, calling "uncle" one by one, and the old actors were in a particularly hearty mood.

"Xiaohu's apprentices are all good, you see Xingzai and Andy, they all started to play supporting roles in TVB, it's really embarrassing that they were so famous when they were young, and Xiaohu also let them play tricks." Qin Pei sighed and said, "I think once we became famous back then, we didn't immediately become the leading actors." ”

Stephen Chow said with a smile: "Uncle Qin, Master said, we are still young and need to hone our acting skills, and the future entertainment industry will require us to take the lead." ”

"Hahaha~~ You star boy didn't hide what he said!" Xie Xian joked, and then said to Guan Haishan beside him: "I heard that Xiaohu asked you to shoot a literary film?" ”

Guan Haishan nodded and said, "Yes, I am the male lead, I am a mute, and my acting skills are too torturous." ”

"Look at how much Xiaohu lifts you, I haven't received Xiaohu's summons for five or six years, hahaha~~" Shi Jian said with a laugh.

"Uncle Jian, you're talking bad about me behind my back again, but I've caught it this time!"

Just when everyone was laughing, Wang Xiaohu, Zhao Yazhi, and Jin Yong walked into the Yanyu Building.

As soon as the main protagonist came, whether it was an old drama bone or a small student, Hua Dan immediately got up and greeted Wang Xiaohu.

"Why am I talking bad about you behind my back, I am obviously complaining to you in front of everyone." Shi Jian smiled and took the lead in coming over to greet Jin Yong: "Why is Mr. Cha also interested?" ”

Jin Yong smiled: "Xiaohu invited me to come to the military parade. ”

"Military parade?"

Everyone was stunned, they didn't know what to do today, they didn't know in advance, they only knew that Wang Xiaohu had an invitation to everyone, saying that they had important matters to discuss in Yanyulou, and when they arrived at the place, everyone asked me, I asked you, and I didn't know the real reason, just waiting for Wang Xiaohu to solve the mystery.

Wang Xiaohu swept over everyone's faces with a smile, looking at the original "Condor Shooting" lineup, he was full of emotion in his heart, he knew that another classic was going to be born in his hands, with such excitement, he waved his hand and said: "Everyone sit down first." ”

After everyone sat down, Wang Xiaohu said in a soft voice: "I invited everyone to come here today because there is a drama that needs everyone's help, Ah Weng, go to dinner!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and said in their hearts that filming would talk about filming, what are you doing with such a text.

I saw Weng Meiling smiling and showing her little tiger teeth, and walked up with a big plate, which was not a big dish, but a stack of neatly listed books.

Subsequently, Stephen Chow, Huang Yuehua, and Andy Lau also walked up with the same plate.

"Send the script and novel according to everyone's name."

Wang Xiaohu gave an order, and the four little apprentices immediately sent the scripts and novels in their hands according to their names.

There are two books in front of everyone, to be precise, one is a hardcover version of the physical novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the other is a script of the same name, with the same exquisite packaging, but the script in each person's hand is different, in addition to the five big characters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there are two other lines of small characters.

They are the name of the actor and the name of the character played, remarks, etc.

For example, Shi Jian's book says that the actor: Shi Jian, who plays Qiu Qianren and Qiu Qianzhang, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang and his younger brother, stunts: Iron Sand Palm, Light Gong.

For example, Liu Dan wrote here: playing the role of the Northern Beggar, Hong Qigong, the leader of the beggar gang, stunts: Eighteen palms of dragon descending, dog beating stick method, etc.

Everyone has basically read the novel of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and they have some impressions, and now they are very excited to see that they are going to play a certain hero in the novel, especially after Miao Qiaowei saw that it was Yang Kang in the script, his whole face smiled, and he hurriedly opened the script to see his own role.

In addition to the different covers, the content inside is also slightly different, and the parts of different people's scripts that belong to their respective characters have been planned with red notes, and a small table of contents is listed, and you can easily find your own part through the table of contents.

For a while, there was a sound of turning books in the Yanyu Building, and Jin Yong also looked at the script in front of him, he was probably the happiest among everyone.

From the hardcover of the novel and script in front of him, it can be seen that Wang Xiaohu is very attentive to this matter, Jin Yong only feels that nine years have not waited in vain, his script is exactly the same as Wang Xiaohu's script, it is the director's script.

The general outline of the catalogue is written in detail which role each actor plays in the book, and all the scenes in the novel are also shown in the form of photos in the script, including the Yanyu Building where they are currently located, as well as some scenes of "Little Jiangnan", and the remaining locations such as desert and Mongolia are directly summarized by Wang Xiaohu with the words "mainland live shooting", and there are also detailed shooting locations.

The more Jin Yong watched it, the warmer his heart became, and the stronger his confidence in Wang Xiaohu's desire to build "Shooting the Condor" into a classic TV series.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Fifteen minutes later, Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands and said: "Everyone has also seen that it is Mr. Cha's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that will start filming at the end of this year, and I believe everyone knows who they want to play from the script in their respective hands." ”

Everyone nodded, and they all looked at Wang Xiaohu eagerly, waiting for his next words.

"The reason why I give you a novel, a script, is just to let you in the next six months, fully familiarize yourself with the relationship between the novel and the adapted script, if you feel that some of the adapted places in the script and the role you play are very surprised, you are welcome to give me advice, I will study with Mr. Cha, if your opinion is good, then of course we will take your opinion."

"I'm done, do you think there's anything else to add, Lao Dou?" Wang Xiaohu said sideways to Jin Yong.

Jin Yong grinned and said: "Xiaohu said very well, the script was written nine years ago, I am very satisfied, and I also believe that the person selected by Xiaohu may not be as good as he writes novels, but writing scripts and filming film and television dramas, his vision is definitely the best in the industry." ”

After Jin Yong said this, no one felt any disgust, yes, they admired Wang Xiaohu's vision and script from the bottom of their hearts, and at the same time, they also felt sincere joy to be able to star in this Jin Yong's classic martial arts novel, because the examples of "Jingwumen" and "Shanghai Tang" were in front of them.

The old drama bones can be plated with a layer of gold in their acting careers, and TVB, Jiayi, and Li's leading students and Hua Dan can use "Condor Shooting" to increase their worth by several grades!

Who wouldn't agree to such a good thing, so everyone nodded and said with a smile that they thanked Wang Xiaohu for the great opportunity.

"Hey~ Xiaohu, you haven't told me who Huang Rong and Guo Jing will play." After Jin Yong finished speaking, he drank a cup of tea, and suddenly frowned and said.

Everyone suddenly realized, yes, everyone got the script as a supporting role, where is the protagonist?

Just when everyone was wondering, a yellow figure suddenly flashed in the Yanyu Building, and they saw that the person fell in front of Jin Yong with a beautiful sideways roll, wearing a yellow and green costume, folding a wicker in his hand, and clasping his fists and saluting: "Huang Rong, the daughter of the Lord of Peach Blossom Island, meet Jin Daxia!"

There was a slightly naughty voice in the crisp, and when she raised her head, her heroic face and bright eyes made Jin Yong's eyes shine, and Jin Yong's hero immediately made a decision: "This is Huang Rong!"
