    In an alley in Section 4 of Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei, there is a large house with red walls, red tiles, and green trees. Inside is a very eye-catching seven-story villa.  The courtyard is deep, and the entire house is built in the Jiangnan garden architectural style like small bridges and flowing water. The house is named "Keyuan" and is the home and office of Qiong Jue, a famous romance novelist and film and television producer in Taiwan.

    In the second half of 1997, Qiong Jue's Yiren Communication Co., Ltd. simultaneously started filming two TV series adapted from the novels she wrote: one is the Republic of China's bitter drama "There are Tears in the Sky", and the other is the Qing palace drama "Returning My Princess"  .

    Qiong Jue has very different attitudes towards these two dramas.

    The former attaches great importance to it, and the costumes and props are very exquisite.  In the play, except for Jiang Qinqin, the newcomer chosen by Qiong Jue as the female lead, the other protagonists are all the most popular at the moment, and the main supporting roles are all capable actors who have worked with Qiong Jue for many years and are familiar to the audience.

    The latter is like a child in the next room. This drama is Qiong Jue's transformation after realizing that the audience's interest in crying and painful dramas has declined. It is a test of the waters. It is impossible to say whether the result will be good or bad.

    It just so happens that Huanzhu has been in constant trouble since the beginning of filming.  It took a lot of effort to finish filming this drama. After finishing the post-production, when it was submitted to the authorities for review, because there were too many mainland actors in the drama, it was deemed a mainland drama by the Taiwanese authorities. It had to be submitted episode by episode to check whether there was any disharmony in the drama.  It's such a troublesome thing.  Therefore, the frustrated Qiong Jue and the staff behind the scenes have long lost their expectations for the future of this drama.

    When everyone was not optimistic about it, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" suddenly emerged. It premiered on China Television in April and became a popular local drama in Taiwan. The average ratings exceeded 13 points; after being broadcast in the mainland,  , the average ratings exceeded 47 points, and a single episode scored 54 points, causing a nationwide sensation in the "Little Swallow" whirlwind phenomenon; it was bought back by Hong Kong's ATV, and after it was broadcast,  The three-color platform that had been pressing on them was unable to fight back.

    "There Are Tears in the Sky", which Qiong Jue has high hopes for, also premiered on CTV, before Huan Zhu, but the highest ratings for a single episode did not exceed 10 points; after being broadcast in Xiangjiang, there was almost no splash; it was broadcast in mainland China  In the end, although the ratings were okay, compared with Huanzhu, it suddenly became a scumbag.

    Maybe Qiong Jue was just a romance novelist in the past, but now she is even more of a businessman.  With Huanzhu's ratings so high, the filming plan for the second part was immediately put on the schedule.

    After Huanzhu became popular, before Qiong Jue decided to make a sequel, countless film and television companies, agents, directors, producers and other people in the industry called her to recommend actors they were optimistic about for the sequel.  After the news was confirmed, there was an endless stream of calls and visitors to the home.

    Because Qiong Jue's drama is very popular in the market, Qiong Jue is very powerful as a screenwriter. Most of the time, she can bypass the director, producer and investors and appoint the actors herself, but she still can't do it completely.  dictatorship.

    The popularity of Huanzhu has given many actors the idea of ????borrowing Dongfeng. Therefore, in addition to the fierce competition for new roles in the sequel, some actors even want to snatch the original roles in the drama and use their strong backstage to give Qiong Jue  Apply pressure.

    Under great pressure, Qiong Jue had the idea of ??replacing some of the actors in Huanzhu No. 1, but because no matter which role she played, there were actors with strong backgrounds peeking at her. As long as she opened an opening, she could not refuse others.  , we can¡¯t replace all the actors, right?

    And some actors in the play are impossible to replace, such as Zhao Wei, who plays Little Swallow.

    In the play Returning the Pearl, the soul character is Xiao Yanzi.  In the eyes of the public, Xiao Yanzi is Zhao Wei. If she were replaced, the public would not agree. Moreover, she has signed a contract with Qiong Jue's company. The company cannot ignore her own family and praise outsiders instead, right?  Lin Xinru, who plays Ziwei, is also a contracted artist of the company, and it is impossible for the company to replace her.

    After much deliberation, Qiong Jue finally decided to continue with the original team and not replace anyone.  In this case, it is much better than replacing a certain actor, which may please one party but end up offending another party.

    Of course, the real reason for not replacing the actors cannot be disclosed to the outside world. The reason given to the outside world is because after the audience heard the news about the preparations for the sequel, they kept writing letters to China Television, Qiong Jue, and major media, asking for the life of their favorite actors.  The momentum caught CTV and Qiong Jue by surprise, and some of the letters contained very strong wording. Therefore, after discussion, they finally decided to meet the audience's demands and still use the original actors to make the sequel.

    The original actors will not be replaced, and the competition for newly added actors will become more intense.

    Qiong Jue liked Jiang Qinqin very much. In addition to hand-picking her to be the heroine of "There are Tears in the Sky", she signed a contract with her and gave her the stage name "Shui Ling".

    theAt first, "There Are Tears in the Sky", a drama with high hopes, failed to achieve the expected response and failed to make Jiang Qinqin popular. Qiong Jue felt it was a pity that the wealth would not go to outsiders, so she added two young people in the sequel.  The female character, the female three-dimensional tribe princess Hanxiang, was given to Jiang Qinqin.  As a result, the competition for the remaining role, Qing'er, became even more intense.

    ¡­¡­

    Although He Xiuqiong is Qiong Jue¡¯s daughter-in-law, she always calls her mother-in-law ¡°teacher¡± every day.  She walked into Qiong Jue's study with a cup of tea and put it in front of her: "Teacher, take a rest and write."

    Qiong Jue put down what she was doing, raised her head, took off her glasses, pinched the bridge of her nose, took out a piece of lens cloth from the glasses case, slowly wiped the lenses, and said with a tired look: "Return to the Pearl II, we must hurry up and return it."  While the popularity of Zhuyi is still lingering, I finally coordinated the schedules of all the actors and decided to start filming in September. At this moment, I haven¡¯t even finished a quarter of the script. If I don¡¯t hurry up, I will open the skylight after the filming starts.  Once the actors are in place, it will become a joke if there is no script to film.

    After talking about her difficulties, she suddenly thought that when she was writing, because she was afraid of being interrupted, she had already told her family not to disturb her if nothing happened. She hurriedly asked: "Come here, but something happened?  "

    He Xiuqiong handed over the file bag containing Yuan Qiaoqiao's personal information, "Teacher, this artist".

    Qiong Jue looked at the brown kraft paper bag she handed over, and saw the "x" mark clearly marked by herself on it, and interrupted her unhappily: "Hasn't this person already deleted it? Why did you add her information again?"  Brought it over?"

    No need to be reminded, He Xiuqiong also knew that this was being brushed off, so she explained with a smile: "Teacher, this was recommended by Mr. Yang Dengkuiyang of the eight major international communication companies,"

    After hearing this, Qiong Jue immediately understood that the other party brought in such a big boss that she had to bow her head to, which meant that the role was certain. She sighed helplessly, took the file bag, and sighed: "  I feel wronged Qinqin.¡±

    He Xiuqiong smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher, the other party wants to play Qing'er. Her agent, Sister Kuan, said that Yuan Qiaoqiao is underage and may not be able to understand the emotional drama that is too strong, so let us consider it when deciding the role. From this point of view, let her  It¡¯s not suitable to play Hanxiang, I can only play Qing¡¯er.¡±

    When she heard the name Yuan Qiaoqiao, Qiong Jue immediately reacted. When she was looking at her video materials, she left a deep impression on her. She was so beautiful and beautiful, and she cried so beautifully that she was completely in line with her choice of girls.  Actors are required to not only be beautiful, but also look good when they cry.

    The reason why she was not chosen was because the strength of her agent, Sister Kuan, was a little inferior to the background of other competing actresses. Therefore, even if Qiong Jue took a fancy to her, he would have to reject her in the end.  .

    Qiong Jue said angrily: "She said she can play Qing'er? It's not like you don't know that Qing'er is determined to play Wang Yan."

    Although after the filming of the sequel to Return of the Pearl started, the two parties decided to cast Wang Yan to play the role of Qing'er because in the first film, Qiong Jue approached Wang Yan, who had collaborated several times before, but she had to take care of patients at that time.  My mother-in-law, who was hospitalized for a heart attack, recommended this drama.  Therefore, when preparing for the second part, she thought of her immediately. After contacting her, it was confirmed that there was a schedule, so we reached a cooperation again.

    But that was just external rhetoric. Regardless of whether Qiong Jue contacted Wang Yan in the first film, she didn¡¯t need to go to her when she was preparing to film the second film.

    Return of the Pearl has become very popular. Anyone who is not a fool knows that as long as the production level of Return of the Pearl is above the passing line and has a solid foundation laid in the first film, it will definitely not be inferior. Therefore, participating in Return of the Pearl is definitely a quick win.  The chance to become famous.

    In this case, there is no need for Qiong Jue to take the initiative to contact the actors. They all come to her on their own initiative, and they do not have a certain background. Personal image data cannot be sent to her at all.

    If it were Wang Yan before, even if she had cooperated with Qiong Jue several times, she would not be qualified to compete at all, but now she has a real estate tycoon husband as her backer.

    How powerful is her husband?

    In 1999, Wang Yan, who had just become famous thanks to her performance as Qing'er in the TV series Return of the Pearl, directly surpassed the two big names in the film industry, Gong Huang and Man Shen, and was awarded the French Medal of Arts and Letters by the French government.  Emperor Gong did not receive this medal until ten years later.

    Originally, in order to avoid the situation of being approved as a mainland drama again, after casting Jiang Qinqin, Qiong Jue intended to cast Qing'er from Taiwan, but in the end he settled on Wang Yan.

    ¡°If Wang Yan hadn¡¯t been worried about her married status and couldn¡¯t take part in too intense emotional dramas, and Qiong Jue was trying to protect Jiang Qinqin, the role of Hanxiang might have fallen into her hands.

    This is why when Qiong Jue came to Yang Dengkui to recommend Yuan Qiaoqiao, her first thought was to replace Jiang Qinqin, not Qing'er.

    "Okay, I understand. I will discuss this with Sister Kuan later." Qiong Yao signaled He Xiuqiong to leave, put on her glasses, and continued busy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)For a moment, I thought about replacing Jiang Qinqin, not Qing'er.
