Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 467: It’s also related to the household
Liu Weiqiang, who should have been feeling proud recently, now has a sad look on his face.

The rights to adapt the classic comic "Wind and Cloud" were acquired by Meiya Company, a subsidiary of Kirin Entertainment. However, due to the limited funds of Meiya itself, it can only be made into a TV series. As for the movie, it is not yet available for filming.

Meiya Company is a film company founded by Lin Lingdong, the former director of Kirin Entertainment.

The atmosphere in Hong Kong Island is like this now. People and ghosts are all opening film companies. If one film company goes bankrupt every day, two film companies will be established, and the market is still prosperous.

In fact, everyone knows that no film company can guarantee that it can always make money, not even Qilin Entertainment and Golden Harvest. But in this market, there are always people who can make money.

If that's the case, why can't it be me?

Under such circumstances, it is very normal for Lin Lingdong, a well-known director in the industry, to open a film company.

As for Liu Weiqiang, he entered the industry as early as 1980, but did not officially serve as a photographer until 1985. His works include classic movies such as "The Dragon and the Tiger" and "Carmen".

And this year, he finally got the opportunity to direct for the first time, but unfortunately it was only a TV series.

If it were an ordinary TV series, Liu Weiqiang would not have such a headache, but this time, because the TV series has received so much attention, even he, the director, cannot make full decisions.

This also made him realize that this was not an easy job!

"Crack!"

At this time, the door was pushed open, which startled Liu Weiqiang.

"Why did you hide here?"

Seeing clearly that the person coming was Lin Lingdong, Liu Weiqiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, I'm not hiding, I'm just...thinking, yes, thinking about the cast list!"

Speaking of this, Lin Lingdong also had a headache and ignored Liu Weiqiang's strange behavior.

"Oh, yes, we should really think about this, especially Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun and Xiong Ba. These three candidates are really a headache!"

As the first part of "The Wind and Cloud", the core of all story advancement, only if these three people stand firm can this TV series be successful.

If these three people were not chosen well and could not portray the image in the minds of the audience, it would be strange that the entire TV series would be successful!

But the problem is, who among Hong Kong's famous actors doesn't want to act in movies? Who wants to be in a TV show?
Moreover, once you act in a TV series, your status will be lowered, and it will be extremely difficult to enter the film industry again.

"Let's not talk about this for now, there is one more thing you need to do!"

"what?"

"The eldest lady of the Li family called me and said that she found a good actor and recommended it to our crew. You go and tell the front desk and we will interview him when he arrives!"

"Is it another related household?"

Seeing Lin Lingdong's sad face, Liu Weiqiang also sympathized with him.

Although their crew had just been established and before they had finished looking for people, those well-informed people had already called him and Lin Lingdong.

The most important thing is that these people have very tough backgrounds, and no one of them can afford to offend them!

If the introduction is good, that's fine. The key is that what they introduce is crooked and crooked. Interviewing them is simply a waste of time.

It can be said that the back door has not changed since ancient times, and it will not change with the development of human social system and science and technology.

Unless one day, human beings no longer have such a thing as selfishness!
"No matter what it is, take good care of people and don't let others talk!"

"Boss, don't worry, you still don't understand me?"

Liu Weiqiang repeatedly agreed.

"Beep beep... beep beep..." At this time, the Motorola mobile phone in Lin Lingdong's pocket made a classic ringtone.

"Hello? Mr. Li!"

After hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Lin Lingdong's attitude became a bit gentler.

Liu Weiqiang was a little curious about who was calling, so he saw Lin Lingdong making a "three" gesture for him, and Liu Weiqiang understood instantly.

It turns out to be the third youngest member of the Li family, Li Wannian!
"Are you selecting people for "The Storm"? Don't worry, we are actively preparing. We are going to interview an actor now. Your sister introduced it to me. What? You don't know about this yet?"

It has to be said that Lin Lingdong knows how to divert misfortunes to the east. Just one sentence made Li Wannian on the other end of the phone frown.

"Really? I know about this!" After a moment of silence, Li Wannian continued on the phone: "What roles are still unselected?"

"There are many more. After all, our crew hasn't been formed yet!"

Lin Lingdong didn't say anything, he just mentioned it in general terms and waited to see what Li Wannian would say next.

"If you have trouble choosing Xiongba, I can recommend one to you!"

"Xiongba?"

Lin Lingdong was really surprised by Li Wannian's recommendation for this role.

After all, if we want to recommend newcomers nowadays, they will definitely be young people, so the roles they play are very fixed. I won’t go into details about the protagonists Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun. The lesser ones include Duan Lang, Jian Chen, etc., mainly playing mixed roles. Familiar face.

And what is the value of recommending an elderly actor like Li Wannian?
Unless he is really doing it for the sake of the TV series itself.

"Mr. Li, to tell you the truth, we are really having a headache about this matter now. We have interviewed several veteran actors, but none of them worked. I don't know who you recommend?"

"Chiba Shinichi!"

"This name... foreigner?"

"Yes, Neon Man!"

"Ah? Boss, this is a martial arts drama!"

When he heard that Li Wannian recommended a neon man to him to act in a martial arts drama, Lin Lingdong subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Of course I know, but when I watched "The Storm", I really felt that they were very similar. If you really can't find a suitable actor, you can try your luck with him!"

"Yes, I will consider it!"

Lin Lingdong then chatted with Li Wannian for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

What are you considering? Neon man? I would be crazy to use him to play Xiong Ba! It’s almost enough to play Jue Wushen!
"Boss, what's going on?"

"Why are you still here?"

Lin Lingdong, who was thinking after hanging up the phone, was interrupted by Liu Weiqiang's words and woke up. Only then did he realize that Liu Weiqiang hadn't left yet.

"What did Mr. Li say? You look a little serious?"

"It's okay, go ahead. After this matter is settled, I still have a lot of things for you to worry about here!"

"Yes, boss, don't worry, I'm good at dealing with people!"

Say it, Liu Weiqiang waved to Lin Lingdong and left gracefully.
