    Xu Kezheng was thinking about how to explain to Lin Youlun, when Lin Youlun suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

    "Okay, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm going to show you these 23 drawings. In fact, I want you to be the director of this series, because the idea originally came from you, and there is no one in Hong Kong.  Someone else is more suitable to make this movie than you Am I being a bit pushy by saying this?"

    Xu Ke stood there dumbfounded, his expression rather awkward.

    Lin Youlun seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and then said: "I know you already have a complete script in your hand, but it doesn't matter. The entire Detective Dee series is not limited to these 23 parts. If you think your idea is good enough, you can  It is added as a new material. Moreover, these 23 stories are just a preliminary concept on my side. The details still need to be expanded by you. This is another reason why I have to find you to be the director of this series.  .¡±

    Speaking of which, Xu Ke knew that he had no room to refuse. Besides, he was really interested in the 23 story concepts presented by Lin Youlun, so he agreed.

    "Okay, take these drawings back and think about them slowly. Now let's talk about the actors."

    Lin Youlun pointed to the rest area next to him, and Xu Ke followed him knowingly.

    After sitting down, Lin Youlun crossed his legs and leaned into the comfortable sofa, assuming a chatting posture. Xu Ke had no choice but to change to a more casual sitting position, but his mind was running rapidly.  .

    There was a bit of a consultative tone in what Lin Youlun just said, which means that he has not yet made up his mind on the candidates for some roles.  At this time, Xu Ke's thoughts became crucial.

    In order to deal with the questions that Lin Youlun might ask at any time, Xu Ke had already prepared several selection plans in his mind.  But Lin Youlun didn't ask this immediately at the beginning of the conversation.

    "Are you sure you want Yang Jingru as the heroine?"

    Just now, Lin Youlun had already told Xu Ke the general storyline of "Tongtian Empire", so it doesn't seem out of the blue for him to ask this now.

    The heroine in this movie is Wu Zetian, but the female character with the most scenes is a maid with high martial arts skills next to Wu Zetian. Xu Ke knows very well that Lin Youlun is talking about the latter.

    "It depends on whether she can endure this hardship, because acting is usually tiring." Xu Ke said and glanced at Lin Youlun. He didn't know what kind of role Lin Youlun played between Wang Jing and Yang Christine.  So I can only test it like this first.

    Lin Youlun didn¡¯t take this problem to heart at all. He waved his hand and said, ¡°If you can¡¯t overcome this little hardship, then why should you be an actor?¡±

    Xu Ke then asked: "Where is Director Wang?"

    Lin Youlun curled his lips and said with a smile: "She has too much time to take care of herself now. If you help her out, it's too late for him to be happy, so how can he object?"

    "Then there will be no problem on my side." Xu Ke agreed without much thought.

    It¡¯s not that Xu Ke is careless on this issue, but because the character itself is similar in nature to the Bond girl in the 007 series.  In the film, she only plays the role of a vase and does not have high requirements for acting skills. No matter from which angle you look at it, it looks like it was tailor-made for Christine Yang, who has just been elected as the new Miss Hong Kong.

    Lin Youlun may have further considerations in arranging Yang Christine to play this role, but this is not something Xu Ke needs to consider. He is more concerned about who will play Di Renjie and Wu Zetian.

    "It depends on whether you are going to use a newcomer or an already famous actor."

    in this problem.  Although Lin Youlun had some ideas, he mainly wanted to hear Xu Ke's opinion.

    "I'm afraid that the influence of newcomers may be slightly insufficient. After all, it is the first work of this series, and it is very important to get a good start, so I still want to use already famous actors."

    Lin Youlun held his chin with his hand.  He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.

    Xu Ke went on to say: "I mentioned it to Liu Dehua a while ago, and he was very interested."

    Lin Youlun said: "You mean to let him play Dee Renjie?"

    Xu Ke didn¡¯t shy away from it either.  He said bluntly: "Whether it is fame or acting skills, he is currently the most suitable candidate."

    "I thought you would recommend Li Lianjie or Zhao Wenzhuo." Lin Youlun suddenly said this.

    "If it were a pure martial arts film, the two of them would definitely be the first choice, but the Detective Dee series is definitely not good. To put it bluntly, both of them have no expressions in their acting, which limits their development."

    Xu Ke mentioned this, it can be said thatIt is a common problem among actors. At least there has not yet been an actor who is both good at acting and good in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, including Bruce Lee, who has been dead for many years.

    "Okay, then it's up to you to come forward and talk to Hua Zai. I think he won't refuse."

    Seeing that Lin Youlun adopted his opinion, Xu Ke was of course happy, as if he was taking this opportunity to decide on Wu Zetian's candidate, but at this moment Lin Zhiling opened the door and walked in.

    Lin Youlun stood up and walked a few steps to the side. Lin Zhiling came to him and lowered her voice and said, "Can you interrupt? There is a very important call here."

    Lin Youlun turned around and shrugged at Xu Ke apologetically: "There is something going on here, let's stop talking about it today."

    Xu Ke nodded knowingly and stood up to leave.

    Lin Zhiling personally walked Xu Ke to the elevator door. Xu Ke asked her to stop, and then walked into the elevator herself.

    ¡ª¡ª

    "I'm sorry, I messed up!"

    Zeng Zhiwei pushed the mahjong tiles in front of him and happily waited to receive the money.

    "Damn, why are you so lucky today?"

    While Tan Yonglin took money out of his wallet, he looked at the faces of Tony Leung and Liu Jialing at the same table.

    It¡¯s not that he is overly concerned, but that Zeng Zhiwei has won 7 games in a row today. If Tony Leung and Carina Lau didn¡¯t have a tacit understanding of ¡°letting go¡±, this situation would never have happened.

    Liang Chaowei smiled awkwardly at Tan Yonglin, with a lot of helplessness in his eyes.

    Liu Jialing's reaction was better, and she secretly gave Tan Yonglin a look of supplication.

    Looking at the two people, and then at Zeng Zhiwei who was happily collecting the money, Tan Yonglin seemed to understand something, and it was difficult to say anything due to human feelings.

    As the mahjong continued, Liu Jialing saw the opportunity and started chatting with Zeng Zhiwei.

    "Brother Zhiwei, have you had any contact with Director Xu Ke recently?"

    "Yes, I talked to him on the phone two days ago. What happened?" Zeng Zhiwei asked while playing cards.

    "It's nothing, nothing." Liu Jialing shook her head, but her tone sounded worried.

    In fact, Zeng Zhiwei had already noticed that Carina Lau and Tony Leung had been deliberately giving him cards today. Considering Carina Lau's reaction just now, he immediately started to care.

    "No, something must be wrong with you!"

    "Actually, it's not a big deal. Director Xu and Mr. Lin are planning to make a martial arts film together recently. It is said that the investment is quite high. There is already news in the media that Andy Lau and the new Hong Kong Miss Yang Christine will play important roles in this film.  Role¡­¡­"

    "So you also want to fight for a role in it?" Zeng Zhiwei directly pointed out Liu Jialing's thoughts.

    Liu Jialing nodded, admitting it.

    "TVB's intention to support Yang Christine is obvious now, and Mr. Lin is investing in Xu Ke's new film. Since there is news that she will participate in the film, she must be the heroine. The best I can do is help you win it.  It¡¯s a supporting role, but that¡¯s not interesting.¡±

    Zeng Zhiwei explained the situation, and then the choice was left to Liu Jialing.

    At this time, Liang Chaowei coughed and attracted Zeng Zhiwei's eyes.

    "Yesterday I called Andy and he told me that there is still a very important role in that drama that has not been confirmed."

    When Liang Chaowei explained this, Zeng Zhiwei immediately understood that this was Liu Jialing's purpose.

    Of course, what surprised Zeng Zhiwei the most was Tony Leung¡¯s reaction. In order to help Carina Lau win this role, he was actually willing to put down his dignity and call Andy Lau.

    You must know that the two of them have been compared in the media, especially recently when the two acted opposite each other in "Infernal Affairs". In fact, the two of them have always been dissatisfied with each other. This time it is equivalent to Tony Leung taking the initiative to give in.  .

    Although he was surprised, Zeng Zhiwei also understood that Liu Jialing was really interested in this role, and since the other party asked him for it, he could not refuse it.

    "Okay, I'll call Xu Ke now and ask, but I don't guarantee that this will happen, because you all know Xu Ke's temper, and this time there is Mr. Lin on top of him, and I guess he will do a lot of things.  You can¡¯t make your own decisions either.¡±

    Zeng Zhiwei stood up to make a phone call. Liu Jialing looked over nervously, her eyes full of expectation.

    Zeng Zhiwei and Xu Ke chatted on the phone for about five or six minutes, and when they came back, their expressions were not very satisfied.

    When Liu Jialing saw this, her heart suddenly clenched.

    "I told Xu Ke about your idea, but the situationIt's a bit complicated, because there is another person who is also vying for this role, and she is taking Mr. Lin's path, but Mr. Lin is still considering it.  "

    When Zeng Zhiwei told the news, Liu Jialing's face suddenly turned a little gloomy. She forced a smile and asked, "Did Director Xu tell me who that person was?"

    "Mainland actor Liu Xiaoqin."

    "Why is it her?"

    Liu Jialing couldn't help but frown.

    Zeng Zhiwei shrugged, and he was helpless about the news.

    "With Mr. Lin's emphasis on the mainland market, I think she will be your strong rival. Of course, Xu Ke has also promised to consider recommending you to Mr. Lin for this role. There is only so much I can do. If you really  If you really want to get this role, it¡¯s best to think of other avenues.¡±

    Liu Jialing was stunned for a long time before she nodded.
