Every city has its own café, and people in the city come to the café when they are lonely, when they are frustrated, and when they are looking for inspiration.

Chen Lin and Cai Kangyong also came to the coffee shop when they met their friends. The two of them were going to meet a director named Cai Yuexun, who was introduced by Sister Xiaoyan.

Coincidentally, this Director Cai is the director of "Meteor Garden" in his previous life, and after listening to Sister Xiaoyan's introduction of the plot, he was very interested and took the initiative to ask for the script and agreed to take the filming.

Cai Yuexun recognized Chen Lin at a glance when he arrived at the café as a member of the recently popular "stupid kid" group, Cai Kangyong stood up and was just about to introduce the two, he had already smiled and said: "Kangyong, the big star, you don't need to introduce it, Xiaolin is always lucky." ”

"Director Cai, I'm glad to be there." Chen Lin stood up and shook hands with Director Cai, and then beckoned the waiter to serve coffee.

"Have you read Director Cai's script, do you think there is anything wrong?" Cai Kangyong asked first.

"I can't fault it, the script is very perfect, very interesting, Kangyong, you are not a first-class screenwriter." Cai Yuexun said with a smile.

"Hehe, I didn't write the script alone, in fact, the first screenwriter is not me, it's our Mr. Kobayashi, he has to give me the right to sign the first screenwriter." Cai Kangyong shook his head and smiled.

The so-called first screenwriter is when several screenwriters co-create, and the signature is ranked according to the degree of contribution, and the top of the ranking naturally contributes greatly.

"Oh, Mr. Kobayashi is really talented, no wonder he became a big boss at such a young age, it's really terrifying." Cai Yuexun looked at Chen Lin and smiled, he made no secret of his appreciation.

"Director Cai has won the award, and Mr. Kangyong is touting his students, because I am his student." Chen Lin said modestly with a smile.

"I can't imagine that the two of them still have a teacher-student friendship, Kangyong, you are too low-key, there is such a genius student who has never heard you talk about it!" Cai Yuexun quipped.

Cai Kangyong smiled and said nothing, and Chen Lin said: "Teacher Kangyong is very low-key, Director Cai, let's talk about the script." ”

"Yes." Cai Yuexun took a sip of coffee and nodded. Then asked: "Do Mr. Kobayashi and Kang Yong have suitable actors in their hearts for the leading actors of F4 and Shancai in the play?" ”

"Four of the five leading actors have been decided. One of them is still Mr. Kobayashi himself, Mr. Kobayashi is still up to you to introduce. Cai Kangyong said with a smile.

Chen Lin nodded, took out a stack of photos from the briefcase beside him, and introduced several actors in the photos to Director Cai.

Fat water does not flow to outsiders, Tian "Meteor Garden", the super-popular idol drama Chen Lin is naturally going to use his own people, among which in F4, except for the beauty that has not yet been determined, the other 4 leading actors are all artists from their own companies.

The 4 actors are: Nicholas Tse as Daoming Temple, Chen Lin as Hua Ze, Luo Zhixiang as Ximen, and Lin Zhiling as Shancai.

This cast was decided by Chen Lin, Yu Yu, and Cai Kangyong after several discussions.

The first male protagonist in the play, Daoming Temple, is the heir of the Daoming family and the leader of F4. A typical wealthy young master with a self-serving personality and likes to bully others. Love and hate, possessive, and at the same time have the innocent and sensitive side of a child. It is more than enough to play him as a super idol of Nicholas Tse, and Tingfeng's family is from a wealthy background, and he has a cool and somewhat rebellious temperament, which is very consistent with the temperament of Daoming Temple.

Simon is the best at coaxing girls in F4, and for him, the shelf life of each woman is only one week, and Luo Zhixiang has a beautiful man's face, and it is natural to be cool and detain women.

Hanazawa, the number two in F4, sometimes cares about people on the surface. Sometimes he is very cold and has an unpredictable personality, but in fact, he is introverted and shy, and he has a serious autistic tendency when he was a child. Always choosing to live in his own dream world, he is full of uncertainty and has no confidence in himself. Chen Lin is close to Hua Ze in personality, and in his previous life, his personality was introverted and shy. Seeing beautiful girls blush, sometimes like to stay at home to read novels and play games, is this autism and living in the virtual world?

In fact, he is not narcissistic enough to think that he is handsome enough to play Hua Ze, and he has never thought about playing the leading role. Originally, as long as he played a supporting role, he was addicted to the play, but Cai Kangyong proposed to let Chen Lin play Hua Ze by himself.

Cai Kangyong's reason is also simple, Chen Lin is also a handsome guy, he looks like an honest child on the outside, and he also has something called temperament, and there is another reason to save money, but this reason was resolutely refuted by Chen Lin on the spot.

The last heroine, Shancai, made Chen Lin not think about it, but only designated Lin Zhiling, because she is not only the only female artist in the company at present, but also beautiful enough.

The beautiful woman and the handsome man are the only way to idol dramas, as for whether she can perform a cheerful and generous personality, enthusiastic and helpful, and full of love, Shancai is not a big problem, just ask a professional teacher to guide her, and her voice can also be solved with dubbing.

Cai Yuexun looked at the photos of several actors and listened to Chen Lin's introduction and said that he had no opinion, in fact, even if he had an opinion, he would not say it, isn't it normal for people to be the boss and praise the artist of his own company?

Cai Yuexun proposed to hold an actor interview, and Chen Lin agreed to add that he would not hold auditions in the four cities of Tai*bei, Hong Kong, Chang*sha, and Shanghai.

His reason is that on the one hand, he can choose the best actors with a wide range of choices, and on the other hand, this is also a disguised publicity hype.

Cai Yuexun nodded in admiration when he heard this, no wonder people succeeded at a young age, this mind is flexible.

After the three discussed some details, they agreed to start the first actor audition in Taibei three days later, and then Chen Lin and Cai Kangyong said goodbye, and the two hurriedly went to meet Chai Zhiping, a well-known TV producer and agent in Tai*wan, known as the "godmother of idol dramas".

Many people may not be familiar with her name, but everyone must be familiar with the TV and movies she produced, such as "Meteor Garden", "Meet Love Around the Corner", "Shanghai Sweetheart", "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", "Little Times" and so on.

The meeting with Chai Zhiping was very pleasant, Chen Lin didn't have to say much, mainly speaking with his works, the script of "Meteor Garden" made the two of them shine, and the two hit it off.

Chen Lin successfully invited Chai Zhiping to be the producer of "Meteor Garden", and with the participation of the producer of the original work, Chen Lin was completely confident in the quality of the new version.

After Chai Zhiping got the script, she studied it selflessly, Chen Lin and Kang Yong looked at each other and smiled without disturbing her, quietly waiting for her to read it, so that everyone could further communicate on the script after she finished reading it.

The efficiency of finalizing the director and producer in just one day is really fast, and it also makes Chen Lin feel very happy, many TV series will take more than half a year from project approval to funding, personnel, equipment, etc., and he can solve half of the important work in one day, and the remaining half of the important work is to finalize all the actors.

In the afternoon, Chen Lin and Cai Kangyong left Chai Zhiping's house, and the two were about to get into the car, when a poster was blown by the wind and landed on the windshield of the car.

Chen Lin reached out and picked up the poster and was about to throw it away, when he was suddenly stunned, a star art photo on the poster was printed in his eyes, and the news headline on it shocked him: "Zhang Yusheng's latest album "Duplicity" is selling well, and the stock of major video stores in Taipei has been exhausted. ”

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Chen Lin's mind: Zhang Yusheng died in a car accident on November 12, 1997, and today is November 4th. (To be continued......)
