Liang Yudong and Wang Tianlin sat together to study the script. The protagonist in this play is an atypical protagonist because he is idle and has many bad habits.
He was born in a family of martial artists but has no interest in learning martial arts. His martial arts skills are poor and he likes to take advantage of small things. However, he is very principled when it comes to major issues. This can be said to be the only bright spot of this character.
"This notebook."
Liang Yudong couldn't help but ask, "Did you write this book yourself?"
"Yes."
Wu Changyun nodded shamelessly.
"This notebook..."
Liang Yudong couldn't help but take a breath, because according to his understanding of the market, even though Chen Gangsheng's kung fu films have already possessed a certain strength, the box office of "Young Master Dragon" was not ideal.
This proves that everyone still likes traditional protagonists.
The reason is actually very simple. Wang Tianlin glanced at Wu Changyun. He was a little skeptical about whether Wu Changyun could play this role well, because the audience's first impression of him was that he was upright and handsome.
Is it really suitable for Wu Changyun to play such a character with all kinds of minor flaws?
"Yudong, don't say that. Boss Wu has indeed made many attempts at novel themes, and each time he has never disappointed us. This time will be no different."
After Wang Tianlin said this, he leaned back on the sofa with peace of mind.
He was not confident in the script, but he was more confident in Wu Changyun. He believed that Wu Changyun would not shoot himself in the foot. A smart person like Wu Changyun would not do such a thing.
"I'm worried that the ratings for this show will plummet. What if no one orders it..."
Liang Yudong leaned close to Wang Tianlin's ear and said something. Wang Tianlin did not answer, but stepped on Liang Yudong's toes.
No matter what the occasion, he didn't pay attention to his identity. Wang Tianlin glared at Liang Yudong again.
Putting aside the fact that Wang Tianlin dislikes Wu Changyun, the two of them are considered to be the top in the industry, especially Wu Changyun, who is the ironclad top, unlike him who is semi-invisible.
Anyone who hears these words will feel uncomfortable, let alone when they come from a person of lower status than the other person.
"Okay, okay." Liang Yudong could only compromise. It was really difficult to get things done being caught between two big bosses.
"By the way, I also want to pick one of you TVB actors to play the male lead."
"Oh, you're not playing the lead role? What role are you planning to save for yourself?"
Wang Tianlin asked, he was afraid that Wu Changyun would do something weird again.
Wu Changyun promised that he would play the villain in this play. At the beginning, he was the adopted son of the same father as the main character, and later became the main villain and the soul character of the play.
It can be said that without this villain, the plot cannot be advanced.
The main character is an extremely lazy person, and was forced by the villain to perform a series of actions. This role was originally played by Wu Zhenyu, and now Wu Changyun has snatched away some of Wu Zhenyu's acting chops.
"Okay, then who will play the leading role? You can nominate a name. With you and Mr. Wang here, we will be able to secure many actors."
Liang Yudong originally thought that the other party would name Shek Xiu, Lai Hanchi, or leading actors like Ray Lui and Patrick Tse, but he didn't expect that the person Wu Changyun named was a famous person whose name they had never even heard of.
"Zhou Xingchi? Who is he? Is he from our company?"
Liang Yudong had never heard of such an actor.
It's no wonder that Liang Yudong has never heard of him, because apart from a program he starred in on ATV, Stephen Chow has no other works. He came to TVB as a trainee.
"Mr. Wang, have you heard of it?"
"No."
Wang Tianlin also shook his head and asked, "Who is this person to you?"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Wu Changyun wondered how the other party could ask him this question openly, but it seemed that the matter was too sudden.
"It's none of your business."
Wang Tianlin remembered that when this guy was fighting with Li Yingquan, Zhou Runfa was poached from their TVB at that time. But Wu Changyun had also made a mistake. There is no news about Wu Mengda, who was taken away with him.
"Are you sure he can play the role?"
After some research, Wang Tianlin finally found out who this guy named Zhou Xingchi was.
"I'm not sure."
Why do people always like to ask this question? It was the same when he poached Zhou Runfa.
In fact, these actors have not reached the peak of their vision, but the longer they are in my hands, the more treasures they will become.
"No?"
"If you have any doubts about wanting him, you can set up a time to talk."
Wang Tianlin didn't have time to continue discussing the casting issue with Wu Changyun. Of course, whether this man named Stephen Chow could seize this opportunity still needed to be discussed.
"By the way, I hope to speak to him in person."
"Okay, who else do you need?"
Wang Tianlin agreed readily.
Wu Changyun wanted to find the original cast, but unfortunately, Luo Huijuan is not yet eighteen years old and is still a very young girl.
Lan Jieying, who just turned 18 this year, is within Wu Changyun's consideration range, provided that she is as beautiful as Wu Changyun imagined.
But no matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with TVB because these two people have not yet joined TVB.
This reminded Wu Changyun of someone, Weng Meiling. Her appearance was short-lived. According to the timeline before Wu Changyun's intervention, Weng Meiling was a beauty with a tragic fate.
But now, at least Wu Changyun still has the opportunity to cooperate with the other party once.
Wu Changyun filled some seemingly unimportant roles within TVB, and left the more important roles to outsiders or actors from his own company.
Wang Tianlin was not too surprised. Wu Changyun was not a pushover. He was certainly not surprised by this kind of thing.
However, it is very rare that Wu Changyun, who already has his own cinema chain, would think of developing in the field of TV dramas.
"Alright, alright, you young people will handle the rest. Come on, do your best."
Wang Tianlin patted Liang Yudong on the shoulder. How could he not know what Liang Yudong was thinking at the moment? He must be suspecting that he had stolen the other party's credit.
“Don’t forget to remember where your water came from.”
Wang Tianlin left behind these words when he left, which made Liang Yudong feel like there was something stuck in his throat.
In fact, the cooperation between Wu Changyun and TVB was facilitated by Wang Tianlin, and Liang Yudong just happened to take over this position.
It was only then that Liang Yudong realized that Wang Tianlin could have taken the business to his superiors and not left it to himself.
Could it be that Mr. Wang was deliberately giving me a reminder?
"What's wrong?"
Wu Changyun saw that Liang Yudong was a little absent-minded, so he asked.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Liang Yudong retracted the thought and made up his mind to find an opportunity to ask Wang Tianlin clearly.
