and Xu Xiaoming reached a consensus on the selection of the actor in "Huo Yuanjia", and followed Lin Xicai to talk about his plans for his next martial arts film.

"TVB's filming of "Dragon Babu" this time is not only aimed at ATV, but also a test of the martial arts drama market. Because wireless is still not sure whether the fire of "Chu Liuxiang" is an accidental phenomenon, or whether martial arts dramas really have a big market in Hong Kong, this can be seen from the cast configuration of this TV series, there is no Zhou Yanfa, there is no Wang Mingquan, these two are the most popular actors and actresses in wireless, and at the same time, it can also be seen from this arrangement that wireless's great ambition, if "Dragon Babu" is successful, then these actors in this drama can directly support the beams of more martial arts dramas in the future. ”

"Then what if "Dragon Babu" fails?" Xu Xiaoming couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xi shrugged his shoulders and told Xu Xiaoming very directly that this was impossible.

"I know that from ATV's standpoint, Mr. Xu can't wait for the wireless drama to be completely afraid of smashing, but I can tell you responsibly that in the next ten years, martial arts dramas will be the mainstream on the TV screen, as long as there is a good script and a group of good actors, the possibility of complete smashing is almost zero, not to mention that the wireless adaptation of Jin Yong's novel this time is almost zero...... By the way, there is one thing that Mr. Xu may not know, wireless actually bought the TV adaptation rights of a novel of "Dragon Babu" this time, but took the copyright of Jin Yong's fifteen novels in one go, and this matter was told by Mr. Jin Yong himself. ”

Xu Xiaoming was shocked by the news, his mouth opened but he couldn't speak, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

"Obviously, wireless is preparing to make a big splash in martial arts dramas this time, and it would be naïve for ATV to expect that it would be naïve to rely on one or two dramas to force back TVB's attack!"

Lin Xi's words completely dispelled the last trace of luck in Xu Xiaoming's heart, he now felt that his entire brain had become a mess, and naturally he was not in the mood to stay and continue to discuss more details with Lin Xi.

Xu Xiaoming knew very well in his heart that the top priority now was to inform Qiu Degen of Lin Xi's analysis of the market prospects of martial arts dramas and the wireless purchase of the adaptation rights of Jin Yong's fifteen novels, so that the other party could make up his mind as soon as possible.

Looking at Xu Xiaoming, who got up to say goodbye and left in a hurry, the corners of Lin Xi's mouth hooked up a faint smile.

Wireless is such a remake of Jin Yong's martial arts dramas one after another, ATV will definitely not be able to parry it, but the more it is like this, the more beneficial it will be for Lin Xi, because Jin Yong has already chosen to cooperate with wireless, ATV wants to shoot a martial arts drama of similar quality to compete with wireless, and the only choice left is Lin Xi.

This is probably the last thing Qiu Degen, who was thinking about how to balance Lin Xi, wanted to see at the moment.

Lin Xi was smug in his heart, and Zhao Yazhi's voice suddenly sounded at the door of the office.

"Why did Mr. Xu leave so quickly?"

I thought that Lin Xi and Xu Xiaoming should talk for a long time, but when I saw the office just now, Lin Xi was sitting alone in the big chair in a daze, and Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but walk in curiously.

Lin Xi stood up, walked around the desk to Zhao Yazhi, grabbed the coffee in her hand, leaned in front of her nose and sniffed it.

"It's so fragrant, I think it must taste good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the cup and tasted it.

Zhao Ya's beautiful eyes widened as she watched this qiē happen, and her cheeks suddenly felt hot.

She made this cup of coffee for herself, and she had just taken a sip before coming in, and there were still her shallow lipstick marks on the wall of the cup, Lin Xi took it up and took a sip like this, wouldn't it be equivalent to a kiss with her?

The more Zhao Yazhi thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and almost all of them had the idea of covering his face and escaping from here.

But she couldn't do this, so she could only warn herself over and over again in her heart that Lin Xi must not have done it on purpose.

But in fact, Lin Xi did it on purpose, looking at the slightly narrow and shy expression on Zhao Yazhi's face, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

There is such a big beauty by her side, although she can't touch it for the time being, but occasionally tunes. It's still very interesting to play.

If Zhao Yazhi knew Lin Xi's thoughts, she would definitely spit on him, but at this time, she was worried about cleaning up her panic, and she didn't notice the little smugness hidden in Lin Xi's eyes at all.

"Everything was settled, and of course he left." Lin Xi put down the coffee cup and pretended to be innocent.

"Didn't Mr. Xu come over to talk to you about the filming of the new martial arts drama? It's over so quickly, including the actors, the filming date, and these have all been decided? ”

Seeing that Zhao Yazhi didn't believe it, Lin Xi had no choice but to pout and explain:

"You said that I haven't had time to talk about that matter yet, because I told Xu Xiaoming about the TV adaptation rights of Jin Yong's fifteen novels in one go, and he was in a hurry to report to Qiu Degen, so he left."

Zhao Yazhi pretended to be angry and glared at Lin Xi.

"Then you just said that the negotiation was done!"

"It's been negotiated, but what we negotiated is not the martial arts drama you mentioned, but another drama, Xu Xiaoming asked me to help write a script for him, and in return he promised that the actor of the drama would be played by an actor from our company."

Lin Xi briefly introduced the play "Huo Yuanjia" to Zhao Yazhi, and immediately Zhao Yazhi had such a question.

"Among the actors signed by the company now, there doesn't seem to be anyone who is particularly suitable for this play?"

Oriental Film and Television Company currently has signed a total of five artists, and Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei, who are still in the ATV artist training class, were automatically ignored by Zhao Yazhi because they are not famous, and the remaining Zhang Yurong has recently decided to develop in the music world, Wu Mengda's image does not meet the requirements, Zheng Shaoqiu is about to go to Taiwan to develop, and it is impossible to act in Lin Xi's play.

Among them, I have to mention Zheng Shaoqiu, although he was accepted by the audience again after the broadcast of "Chu Liuxiang", and was even more popular than doing a small job in wireless before, but because of the previous relationship with Shen Lixia, he was attacked by the media, and he was already heartbroken, and it happened that the TV station in Taiwan was optimistic about his appearance in "Chu Liuxiang" and invited him to film over there, and after obtaining the consent of the company, Zheng Shaoqiu had agreed to the other party and would go to Taiwan to film in the near future.

Lin Xi is willing to let Zheng Shaoqiu go to Taiwan, firstly, because he knows that Zheng Shaoqiu has reached the peak of his career after performing "Chu Liuxiang", and there is not much room for growth in the future, and he is not a very important role in Lin Xi's talent monopoly plan; Second, Lin Xi can also understand Zheng Shaoqiu's feelings at the moment, Hong Kong is a bit like a sad place for him, and it may be better for him to change the environment, not to mention that he is still an artist of Oriental Film and Television Company, but he was sent to Taiwan to develop, and he can be recalled at any time if necessary.

"Sister Zhi, do you remember what I told you, once I went to a restaurant to eat and forgot to bring my wallet, my dad drank too much that day and didn't answer the phone, and finally I was detained in the restaurant to wash dishes to pay off the debt, fortunately I met a chef over there, he liked my father's novel very much, and promised to lend me money to pay off the debt, and then we met like this, this person used to be a martial arts background, and then he changed his career to become a chef because he really couldn't get ahead, but he has never given up on being an actor, and during this period of time after the broadcast of "Chu Liuxiang", He had called me several times for different reasons, saying that he was inviting me to dinner, but in fact, how could he hide that little thought...... It just so happened that Xu Xiaoming came to talk to me about the play "Huo Yuanjia", and I felt that the actor was quite suitable for him to play, so I mentioned it to Xu Xiaoming. ”

"In other words, you have made an appointment with Mr. Xu before you sign him?" Zhao Yazhi frowned slightly, always feeling that this was a bit too hasty.

Lin Xi smiled indifferently, and in turn comforted Zhao Yazhi and said, "Don't worry, he will definitely not refuse." ”

Lin Xi said that this person is naturally Cheng Long, judging from the various understandings of Cheng Long in another time and space, Lin Xi is 100% sure that Cheng Long will not refuse this opportunity.

"The actor of "Huo Yuanjia", you are looking for the chef who has done martial arts, I can understand that you are repaying him for borrowing money before, but you provided Xu Xiaoming with the script and shooting ideas, and finally asked for anonymity?"

Zhao Yazhi then said the second doubt in his heart.

The explanation Lin Xi gave in person was to prevent Qiu Degen from thinking too much, but in fact, Lin Xi had deeper considerations in this matter.

"Huo Yuanjia" tells the famous martial artist Huo Yuanjia in the late Qing Dynasty who abandoned the view of the door, learned from the strengths of all families, and founded the "Jingwu Sports Association", which focuses on national righteousness and is committed to the unity of the Chinese martial arts community. In the era of national danger and invasion by foreign powers, he crisscrossed the north and south of the country, repeatedly defeated foreign martial artists and wrestlers with his superb martial arts, fighting for the people and shameful for the country.

If history does not change, this drama that can stimulate the national self-confidence and patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people will become the first Hong Kong TV drama caused by the mainland, and it will cause a great sensation after it is broadcast.

It can be said that it was from this drama that mainland people began to get in touch with Hong Kong's pop film and television culture, especially the theme song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" has become a classic memory in the hearts of several generations.

It stands to reason that Lin Xi has no reason to miss such a TV series that can be used in the mainland in the 80s, but Lin Xi, who is familiar with the trend of history, knows very well that if he really does this, it will only outweigh the losses.

Not to mention that it's too early to hug the thighs of the mainland, even if mainland audiences watch a TV series now, they will only be moved by the plot, and no one will care about who the director and screenwriter of this drama are behind the scenes, and even because of the long-term isolation between the mainland and Hong Kong, even the actors will not pay special attention.

If Lin Xi adds his name to the list of the main creators of "Huo Yuanjia", it is likely that he will be busy in vain, and if he doesn't get it right, he may even get unnecessary trouble for himself.

Because in this era, there is also a Taiwan that is in opposition to the mainland.

Everyone on the mainland side will not care who made this TV series, but there must be people in Taiwan who care, and because of this incident, all of Lin Xi's novels, TV series and movies may be banned by Taiwan.

If it were another ten years or so, Lin Xi probably wouldn't care about this kind of thing at all, but Taiwan is still a very important market for the Hong Kong film and television industry.

Liang Jiahui was banned by Taiwan because he starred in a Hong Kong movie filmed in the mainland, and he lost his job as an actor when he won the Golden Statue, and no one was willing to ask him to act for a long time.

Lin Xi's goal is now more obvious than Liang Jiahui's, so he has to cautiously avoid some moves that may irritate the sensitive and fragile nerves of the Taiwan authorities.

As for whether Cheng Long will be banned by Taiwan after acting in this play, this is not within Lin Xi's consideration.

What Lin Xi is thinking about now is, hasn't Cheng Long always regarded himself as a patriotic image of loving Hong Kong in another time and space? Just by acting in this TV series, he can leave a high enough impression in the hearts of all the mainland people, so even if Cheng Long is banned from Taiwan for a while because of this incident, he can only be grateful to Lin Xi in the future.
