Sure enough, as Chen Xuanting expected, after the news of the official lineup of "Step by Step Shocking" was released, the media in Hong Kong was completely boiling.

Hong Kong's "Sing Tao Daily": Liu Tianwang returned to the small screen after five years, what is the charm of "Step by Step"? !

"Entertainment Weekly": Andy Lau took the initiative to resolve wireless grievances, and he made a TV series again as the king!

"Ming Pao": Once hidden, once blocked, now we meet with a smile and enmity; Liu Tianwang deserves to be a real man, and if he shoots a wireless drama series, he is bound to build a good relationship between the two sides!

……

As soon as the media is a sensation, the wireless side is even more sensational. No one would have imagined that Andy Lau, who had never interacted with wireless, would take the initiative to ask Ying to ask for the filming of wireless costume dramas. What's more, this play is still directed by a fledgling young director.

Therefore, some people are interested in this "little director", and when they look it up, they are even more surprised.

This person has been in prison, came to wireless to do a props room, and then sat in the position of screenwriter in less than a month, and what is even more surprising is that the three dramas that are being prepared for filming recently were written within a week! Isn't that what genius is?!!

Creative director Li Zhaotai was very optimistic about this young man, so he promoted him to be a director---- this kind of rise is faster than riding a rocket!

Just when everyone in wireless and the media finished studying Andy Lau and began to be interested in this "unliterate" little director, the wireless creation department announced again: The other two male and female protagonists of "Step by Step" are Li Ming and Li Jiaxin!!

Wow---!!!

There was an uproar in Hong Kong!!

Who is Dawn?

Who is Li Jiaxin?!

Any one who participates in the TV series can lead the way!

But now, the two kings have joined, and the most beautiful Hong Kong sister has joined!

What is the energy of this "Step by Step"?!

For a while, this drama was popular before filming, and it was so popular! So much so that when someone met everyone, they asked each other: "Have you heard of "Step by Step?!" "As if you don't know this drama, you don't deserve to be a qualified Hong Kong person!

It was under such hot publicity that Chen Xuanting, as the director of this play, stood in front of the media for the first time, in front of a newspaper and magazine, he talked eloquently about his ideas and shooting techniques.

When someone asked him if he had the confidence to control the two heavenly kings, Chen Xuanting smiled and replied: "Confidence is given by himself!" Others can only prove your own ability, and only if you have made good results and are convincing, this is the most important thing! ”

Another reporter asked, "I heard that you have an extraordinary relationship with Andy Lau, what is the relationship?" ”

Chen Xuanting: "He is a star, I am a fan; He's a singer, I'm a fan; Now that he is filming, I am the director. There are so many relationships, you can choose whichever one you choose! ”

Reporter: "I heard that you and Miss Li Jiaxin are not compatible, but why did you choose her as the heroine this time?" ”

Chen Xuanting: "Your so-called disagreement is heard, since it is heard, it is not a fact, and it is not a question of fact, I will not answer!" ”

Reporter: "Finally, we want to know, what is your secret to your promotion from a small worker in a prop room to a director today in such a short period of time?" ”

Chen Xuanting crossed his legs, touched his chin with his hand and pondered for a while: "If I say that I can see the future, do you believe it?" ”

The reporter thought he was joking, and said, "Mr. Chen, you are so humorous---- this pose is great, can I help you take a photo?" ”

Chen Xuanting nodded and tidied up his clothes.

Popping, the magnesium lights flickered, filming his radiant expression. Here, just after finishing the interview and publicity before the start of filming, Chen Xuanting quickly stepped up and said that since everyone is so curious about this drama, then he will add another fire to make it bigger.

So Chen Xuanting discussed with director Li Zhaotai whether he could adapt the script of this play into a time-traveling novel.

Previously, at the high-level meeting, when Li Zhaotai said the lineup in the "Step by Step Shocking" plan, it caused ridicule from the surrounding area, especially Fang Yihua's front, which was extremely sarcastic to him, saying that he was crazy about losing his mind, is it possible? Invite the two kings to shoot a TV series? That's not all, but also put the most beautiful Hong Kong sister in--- such a lineup can only appear in a dream!

But now, this dream has really come true, and everyone is stunned, surprised, and unbelievable!

Today's Li Zhaotai can be said to be proud of wireless, look, the TV series we are in charge of has not yet been filmed, it has caused such a big sensation, if it is filmed, it will not turn the whole Hong Kong upside down.

Looking at the resentful faces of Fang Yihua and the others, Li Zhaotai felt even more refreshed. It was as if he had eaten the ginseng fruit and opened up the three hundred and ninety-nine meridians in the upper and lower parts of the mixed body.

Of course, Li Zhaotai has never forgotten whose credit it is. Let's not talk about this wonderful script written by Chen Xuanting, just say that he can invite Andy Lau, which is enough to surprise people. Of course, externally, these are the credit of Director Li, and under his painstaking persuasion, and under his sincere request to Jinshi Weikai, Liu Tianwang, who has always been on the wrong path with wireless, condescended to be noble and agreed to put down the shelf to shoot this well-made TV series.

Chen Xuanting's attitude of not being in the limelight and not stealing credit made Li Zhaotai appreciate Chen Xuanting even more and trusted him, and he was very attentive to any of his proposals.

pondered Chen Xuanting's intention to adapt the script into a novel, and Li Zhaotai immediately understood the key point, and praised Chen Xuanting for being eye-catching and brain-eating.

You must know that in the Hong Kong TV industry, novels are generally adapted into TV series, such as Jin Yong's, such as Gu Long and Qiong Yao's, but there are exceptions, there was once a drama that was so popular that it reversed the situation and wrote the TV series into a martial arts novel, and it was a big hit, this drama is the former ATV's brilliant martial arts drama "Silkworm Transformation"!

Now, Chen Xuanting proposes to find an excellent master of fiction to write "Step by Step Horror" into a novel, which is undoubtedly showing people the irresistible charm of this play! Of course, there is also the intention of making a joke and doing publicity, but no matter what, this person is a win-win situation.

Li Zhaotai quickly approved Chen Xuanting's plan and entrusted him with the important task of arranging this work on his own.

Chen Xuanting studied the boundaries of Hong Kong today, Jin Yong sealed the knife, Gu Long died, and Huang Yiwei smiled proudly; Besides, this "Step by Step Shocking" itself is an alternate historical theme, and the author was also a woman in his previous life, so Chen Xuanting is ready to choose an excellent one among the female writers. In the end, his eyes were fixed on one person---- Hong Kong's first talented woman, Li Bihua!

Speaking of Li Bihua, it is a big name, if Jin Yong once held up half of the sky in Hong Kong's martial arts, then Li Bihua is one of the best female literati in Hong Kong who can compete with Jin Yong. She is extremely talented, her whereabouts are mysterious, she never shows her head in front of the public, insists on not disclosing photos, life experience, age, and unknown appearance, she once said to the media: "Don't be so curious about my appearance, I am the kind of person who is placed in the crowd and is not easy to be particularly recognized, there is nothing to describe." It's good for me to keep a proper distance from people and things in the outside world, not to keep in mind my influence, not to think about how many people are reading what you write, and not to think about yourself as a beacon of bitterness at every turn, so that you can really write in style. ”

It can be said that Li Bihua is very similar to Zhang Ailing, a female writer who once swept the Chinese world. Perhaps it has something to do with her upbringing, she grew up in a large family, her grandfather used to be rich in the countryside, had four wives, and concubines. His father made traditional Chinese medicine and lived in his grandfather's property, so Li Bihua grew up living in the old-style building with a very high roof and wooden stairs, and had heard a lot of old-fashioned personnel struggles.

When Chen Xuanting went to visit her, this female leader in the Hong Kong industry inevitably despised him at first--- after all, this is a performance that the industry has always been high, not to mention that Chen Xuanting also has a special identity of "being in prison".

Therefore, when they met, Li Bihua was not very attentive to Chen Xuanting. When he heard that he wanted to ask her to write the script into a novel, Li Bihua despised his request even more in his heart.

For these coldness, Chen Xuanting did not show dissatisfaction, still smiled modestly, when he took out the script and handed it to Li Bihua to see, Li Bihua's attitude was still very contemptuous at first, but when she read the script, her expression changed suddenly. You must know that Li Bihua is a representative of female writers with a surname in Hong Kong, and she has always liked to write novels, and these works produced by Bifeng have also won the love of many filmmakers.

Now she looks at Chen Xuanting's script, and its idea itself is a great ingenuity, which seems to have a great similarity with the "Qin Warriors" she once created, so after reading it, she actually has a familiar sense of substitution.

"You wrote this script?" Then Li Bihua asked.

Chen Xuanting nodded yes.

Then Li Bihua stared at him for three seconds. replied: "Okay, I accept your request---- Chen Xuanting was happy in his heart, and Li Bihua added: "Lest such a good idea be ruined by others!" The tone was very arrogant.

Chen Xuanting didn't care about this, and after saying thank you, he took the opportunity to ask her for some writing tips so that he could use them in the future.

Li Bihua's attitude towards Chen Xuanting has not changed much, and she is still cold, but she still said: "The most important thing in writing a story is not the writing, but the soul of the story itself, a story that can touch people's hearts is definitely a good story!" ”

Li Bihua believes that writing novels is "the enjoyment of entertaining oneself first, and then entertaining others". Therefore, she pursues both elegance and vulgarity, not only writing novels, but also adapting novels into movies to entertain more people. Her novel material selection is cold and tricky, and her supernatural pen often crosses the two worlds of yin and yang, so that the infatuated female ghost in "Rouge Buckle" returns to the yang world like a flower, so that the dusty Mengtian who has been sealed for 2,000 years in "Qin Warriors" jumps out of the ancient tomb, and makes Pan Jinlian, who bears the notoriety of "the first silver woman in the ages", reincarnate nine times into a contemporary ballet rookie Shan Yulian ("Pan Jinlian's Past and Present Life"), it can be said that Li Bihua itself is a symbol of "crossing", and she is also a great master of the theme of crossing. After talking about the day, Chen Xuanting definitely benefited a lot and learned a lot.
