Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 503 Selection Activities

Hurrying quickly, Li Tiansheng finally arrived at the restaurant where he was going to meet before Lin Daoqiu.

Relieved, he put the documents on the table first, ordered a cup of coffee for himself, and waited for Lin Daoqiu to appear.

Li Tiansheng's thinking in choosing the actress for "Student Police Attack" this time is very different from the previous selection of male actors.

Because of the male actors in this drama, apart from Andy Lau who was named the protagonist by Lin Daoqiu, the other three, Huang Rihua, Tang Zhenye and Miao Qiaowei, are all relatively outstanding young actors recently.

It can be said that since this year, they have been on an upward trend. If they follow this trajectory, I believe that within a few years, one of them should be able to take the lead.

And this drama Lin Daoqiu has told himself before that the main line of the story mainly revolves around Andy Lau and the four of them.

But until now, Li Tiansheng hasn't read the script. He doesn't know how many female roles there are in this drama, so he doesn't know how to choose them.

It seems that Lin Daoqiu did not intend to let any big-name actors join in this drama "School Police Attack".

I don't know what kind of ratings this drama will get by then, even Li Tiansheng, who has supervised and produced many TV dramas, is not sure.

While Li Tiansheng was still thinking about things, Lin Daoqiu and Fang Jinsheng had already arrived at the restaurant.

As soon as Lin Daoqiu entered the restaurant, he saw Li Tiansheng sitting there with his head down thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?"

After Lin Daoqiu came to the seat, he walked directly opposite Li Tiansheng and sat down.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's voice, Li Tiansheng reacted, and he immediately stood up with a look of bewilderment.

"Sit down and talk, don't be so polite."

Lin Daoqiu pointed to Li Tiansheng's chair and told him to sit down.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't notice that you have arrived."

Li Tiansheng secretly complained to himself, why was he so absorbed in thinking about nothing, he didn't even know that Lin Daoqiu was here.

"Don't be so polite, have you brought all the materials?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at a stack of documents on the table, and he believed that these should be the information of young female artists of TVB.

"Mr. Lin, please take a look. These are the information of TVB's actresses between the ages of 18 and 25. Basically, they are all here."

According to the age of the youngest Andy Lau to the oldest Miao Qiaowei, Li Tiansheng set the age of the main female characters at the age of 18-25 from the beginning.

Lin Daoqiu nodded while listening, and then he picked up the documents on the table and read them carefully.

Although I watched a lot of TVB TV dramas in my previous life, most of the actresses in these materials, if you don’t look at the photos and only look at the names, you don’t even know who they are.

Moreover, many of them have faded out of the showbiz in later generations, and even if they are still there, most of them are playing the role of green leaves.

Except for Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan, the TVB female actors at this time are not as shining as they will be a few years later.

Now the TVB's top four female stars are Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, Li Siqi, and Huang Shuyi.

And the ones who have developed the best in TV dramas are Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan.

The TVB at this time coincides with the era where the old and the new meet, and the second generation of Huadan has just begun to rise, but these women have not yet made their mark in front of the TV.

So when there are any good TV dramas, the candidates are still chosen from Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, and Huang Xingxiu.

If Lin Daoqiu insists on letting Zhao Yazhi and Huang Xingxiu play this "Student Police Attack", it is not impossible.

If they were asked to act, "School Police Attack" would have received huge attention from the very beginning.

But Lin Daoqiu never thought that if he wanted to find those big stars to act in this play, what he wanted was a group of young people full of youthfulness, vigor and vitality.

Fortunately, Li Tiansheng is quite sensible, he did not include Zhao Yazhi and Huang Xingxiu.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Lin Daoqiu was not familiar with the TVB actresses at that time, only a few of them, so he wanted to hear Li Tiansheng's opinion first.

Before coming, Li Tiansheng didn't know which actors to recommend, but at this moment he suddenly remembered the girls he just met in the corridor.

Looking back seriously now, their ages are exactly in line with the age requirements of this "Student Police Attack".

Although Jing Daiyin is only 19 years old, she is actually a student of TVB's eighth training class. If she is allowed to act in this drama, it should have good results.

At that time, there was also a girl who looked pretty good with her. She didn't seem to be very old. Another role should be given to her, but Li Tiansheng didn't know her name.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know if you have heard of the actress Jing Daiyin. She is an actress in the eighth artist training class. She is only 19 years old this year. She looks sweet and should meet your requirements."

After Li Tiansheng finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu couldn't remember what Jing Daiyin looked like at all, and he couldn't remember the other person's appearance when he heard his name.

"Anyone else?"

Lin Daoqiu was not in a hurry to make a decision, because actresses can't be randomly selected, after all, if they want to be worthy of those handsome guys, naturally they can't look too bad.

"Carol Cheng, Chen Miner, Huang Minyi, Fu Yulan..."

Li Tiansheng mentioned a lot of names, but apart from Zheng Yuling, the other actors Lin Daoqiu couldn't think of what they looked like after hearing the names.

After realizing that he had finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu just looked at the information and didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he thought of the names he mentioned.

"I'm sorry, Producer Li, I haven't even heard of the actors on the information, including those you just mentioned, let alone their names, let alone what they look like."

"It's okay, Mr. Lin, it's all because of my carelessness. I didn't post their photos, or I went back and did it, and I'll wait until tomorrow..."

What Li Tiansheng originally thought was that after going back and reorganizing the materials, he would paste photos and bring them to Lin Daoqiu for selection.

But Lin Daoqiu interrupted him as soon as he raised his hand.

"No, I think it's better to do this. You can tell Miss Fang when you go back..."

…………

"Mr. Lin wants TVB to organize a public call for actresses for "School Police Attack"?"

After returning to Wireless, Li Tiansheng immediately went to find Fang Yihua, and then told her exactly what Lin Daoqiu had said.

Fang Yihua really couldn't understand what Lin Daoqiu was going to do with his appearance. Why did he suddenly want to hold a selection event and choose four actresses at a time? Is he serious?
"Producer Li, did Mr. Lin say whether this selection will be conducted within TVB, or will it be extended to the whole Xiangjiang or the whole world?"

Shi Wenyan on the side seemed to be very interested in this, and she stood up and asked Li Tiansheng on a rare occasion.

When asked by Shi Wenyan, Li Tiansheng began to recall seriously.

"Mr. Lin didn't make it clear, he only said that he would use this audition to find four actresses who are suitable for the play "School Police Attack".

Li Tiansheng added another paragraph: "However, I have compiled a list of TVB's 18-25-year-old actresses for him before, but after reading it, Mr. Lin seems not very satisfied."

Hearing this, Fang Yihua frowned deeper than before.

　Thank you, Yidong, the monthly ticket with no ending!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
