The next day, Cheng Long went to the company to sign a contract, and Xu Xiaoming also came to discuss things with Lin Xi.

When the two sides met, Lin Xi directly introduced Cheng Long to Xu Xiaoming.

Xu Xiaoming looked Cheng Long up and down, walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your name is Cheng Long, and the actor who plays your apprentice Chen Zhen in this drama is called Liang Xiaolong, the two dragons are together, and together they help us make this drama soar, a good sign!" ”

Cheng Long's expression was slightly embarrassed, because this name was just chosen by Lin Xi for him, and he was actually opposed to this name at first.

The main problem lies in the word "dragon".

Because according to the rules in the "Seven Little Blessings" back then, the stage name of the senior brother was fixed to be called Yuanlong, and Cheng Long had always been Hong Jinbao was the senior brother when he stayed in the Seven Little Blessings, and when Hong Jinbao was out of the school, it was Cheng Long's turn to take the title.

In fact, Cheng Long is called Yuanlou in the "Seven Little Blessings", and there are more than seven people in the "Seven Little Blessings", at that time, there were more than a dozen people in Zhanyuan's land, and every time he went out to sing in the name of "Seven Little Blessings", everyone came in turns, and the personnel were not fixed.

In Cheng Long's heart, he has always felt that Yuanlong is Hong Jinbao, and if he changes his stage name with the word dragon now, it seems that he does not respect the senior brother enough.

Lin Xi sued Cheng Long at that time, whether this name is suitable or not is not his final say, nor Cheng Long himself, but everyone's final say. As long as Cheng Long's fame can surpass Hong Jinbao in the future, then everyone else will only think that Hong Jinbao's use of the name Yuanlong is inappropriate, and will not say that there is anything wrong with the name Cheng Long.

In the end, Lin Xi threw out a sentence: "I want to praise you to be a kung fu superstar like Bruce Lee, but you only focus on your senior brother Hong Jinbao, if you only have such a little talent, then you should continue to go back to be a chef!" ”

At this point, Cheng Long had nothing to say, and the matter about his stage name was decided.

Xu Xiaoming didn't know this, so he put Cheng Long and Liang Xiaolong together to talk about things.

Lin Xi saw the discomfort on Cheng Long's face, raised his hand and called a subordinate, and asked the other party to lead Cheng Long to visit the company first, to familiarize himself with the environment, he happened to have some things to discuss with Xu Xiaoming alone.

As soon as Cheng Long left, Xu Xiaoming immediately changed the topic and asked how Lin Xi's martial arts drama was prepared.

"Uncle Gen asked you to ask me this?"

"Wireless can buy all fifteen novels of Jin Yong in one go, and you have only three novels in your hand, one of which has been made into a radio drama and one into a TV series, what else do you think I can talk to you about?"

Lin Xi replied unconvinced: "Chu Liuxiang is a TV series first, and then a novel, are you so sure that I won't have similar works in my hands?" ”

"It's not that I doubt your ability, but now ATV doesn't have time to wait for you to launch a new work, and "Dragon Babu" is ready to start filming on the wireless side, and they are filming and broadcasting, and there is really not much time left for us." Xu Xiaoming shrugged helplessly, "Uncle Gen said, I'll talk about it later, the most important thing now is to let you quickly change "The Peerless Twins" into a script, and add another 10,000 per episode in terms of price, but there is a requirement that the filming speed should be hurried, and we are also ready to broadcast while filming this time." ”

Judging from the information revealed in these words, Lin Xi judged that Qiu Degen might have been forced to be in a hurry, and was ready to have a hard-fought "hand-to-hand combat" with wireless.

In this way, the time requirements for the filming of the TV series are very tight, but it is not unacceptable for Qiu Degen to increase the purchase price of each episode of the TV series by 10,000 yuan.

What really makes Lin Xi care is why Xu Xiaoming is so sure that what he wants to shoot this time is "The Peerless Twins".

"I was guessing before that you wouldn't come out with a new work like "Chu Liuxiang", but first, it will definitely be too late in time, and secondly, you know very well that this drama is used to compete with the wireless "Dragon Babu" to grab ratings, there are three male protagonists in that play, if you use a drama with only one male protagonist to fight with each other, it will be too much of a loss, not to mention making a drama with three male protagonists, at least two male protagonists must be available, and your current works seem to meet this condition only "Peerless Double Pride", right?"

Lin Xi raised his hand and applauded Xu Xiaoming's wonderful analysis, which can be regarded as admitting this matter with practical actions.

Xu Xiaoming saw that he had guessed correctly, and then said: "As you said before, use the actor of "Huo Yuanjia" for an important role in your next martial arts drama, and now the two male protagonists in "The Peerless Double Pride", I am not greedy, as long as one actor from our ATV side is good." ”

"Do you say you're not greedy? I agreed to the exchange before just to keep Uncle Gen from suspecting you, you and I both know that it's just a façade, and now you actually care about me as soon as you open your mouth, do you think I'm a fool? ”

Lin Xi didn't give Xu Xiaoming any room for bargaining at all, and directly refused.

Xu Xiaoming replied angrily: "Of course you are not a fool, but you treat Uncle Gen as a fool, if we don't act more realistically, do you think Uncle Gen can believe it?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Lin Xi knew that he had misunderstood, but he already had ideas about the candidates for the two leading actors in "The Peerless Twins", and he would definitely not let it out.

"That's it, except for the two male leads, the rest of the roles in this play use your ATV actors, so it's okay, right?"

Xu Xiaoming only felt angry and funny after hearing this, and he didn't know how to say Lin Xi.

"You guy really doesn't want others to take advantage of it at all, as far as I know, the female artist currently signed by your Oriental Film and Television Company is Miss Zhao alone, you don't need our ATV actors, you have other people available?"

was exposed by Xu Xiaoming in person, and Lin Xi didn't feel any embarrassment.

"Anyway, it's just to make a show for others, just make sense!"

Seeing that Lin Xi refused to give in, Xu Xiaoming had no choice but to retreat.

"Then the two heroines must use our ATV actors, you can't regret this later!"

"Okay, but only if they can satisfy me!"

Lin Xi replied simply, but this condition made Xu Xiaoming difficult.

Originally, he wanted to arrange for two actresses who were ready to be praised by ATV to come over to play directly, but seeing Lin Xi's attitude, it was estimated that there was no play, so he had to find all the suitable actresses on ATV's side and let Lin Xi choose them slowly.

At this point, Xu Xiaoming is not too worried, there are so many actresses on ATV, how can Lin Xi pick out one or two satisfactory candidates, but the candidates for the two leading actors make him very curious.

Cheng Long is going to play "Huo Yuanjia", Zhang Yurong wants to concentrate on developing in the music world, Zheng Shaoqiu went to Taiwan again, and the remaining Wu Mengda was directly PASSED because of his appearance, could it be that Lin Xi's company also signed an artist he didn't know?

The more Xu Xiaoming thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, but Lin Xi's answer was completely beyond his expectations.
