    Now that Li Mingbao has confirmed the director, Li Minghui said nothing more, and then asked Li Mingbao who the leading actors needed for this movie.  "Baby" is also known as "Home Alone" as it is known in mainland China. In this cheerful movie, one of the most important characters is the child.  If this kid is not chosen well, then half of the movie will basically be wasted.  Hong Kong is not Hollywood. Suitable actors can be found for various types of films.  Although Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, in fact, there is a considerable lack of genre films. Even at the most prosperous stage of Hong Kong films ten years later, there are not many types of mainstream films in Hong Kong, either martial arts films,  It's either a martial arts movie, a comedy, or a pornographic movie.  Other types of films, such as romance films, literary films, and violent films, cannot be said to exist, but they are basically niche.  And literary and artistic films have directly become box office poison, and making literary and artistic films is equivalent to losing money.  In the history of Hong Kong film development, except for a few artistic films that were hits, all others were sold out.  It¡¯s not like a Hollywood movie where a hundred flowers bloom.  Of course, the lack of Hong Kong films is not the issue that Li Mingbao needs to discuss now, but the issue he wants to discuss is actually directly related to the lack of these films.  The protagonist of "Baby" is a child. Without children, this movie would not exist.  ¡° And this is exactly what Li Mingbao is upset about right now. There are no child stars in Hong Kong.  This is not to say that there are absolutely no children in Hong Kong movies, but there are absolutely no children who can participate in movies and be the protagonist.  Not to mention now, even ten years later, when the Hong Kong film industry is at its most prosperous, except for Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen, who else is Li Mingbao?  This film could be played by Hao Shaowen or Shi Xiaolong.  But the question is, it¡¯s only the 1980s. Where can Li Mingbao find these two children?  Not to mention these two children, even their parents are probably just children now, so how can he find anyone?  So Li Mingbao was quite confused.  Li Mingbao's entanglement was not much better when it came to Li Minghui. Child stars are a rare thing in Hong Kong. It took a while before Li Minghui said in front of Li Mingbao: "When it comes to children who can act, I know  "I don't know if he is suitable in your eyes." "Second brother, do you really have such a candidate? Tell me, who is it?" Li Mingbao didn't want to get the answer from the second brother.  Do you want to hold an audition to find such a suitable person outside the entertainment industry?  But he didn't expect that his second brother would give him a surprise, so Li Mingbao was naturally very concerned.  "The kid I'm talking about is called Fan Shaohuang. He is only seven years old this year. This kid's father is also from the Shaw family. When he was three years old, Fan Shaohuang has acted in a play. It can be said that he has rich experience. You want to find a child  As an actor, he should be a good fit. " "Fan Shaohuang? It's him. That's good. Second brother, you really chose a good actor. Then it will be easy to choose other children.  As for the father and mother, we can let Brother Fa and Sister Zi make guest appearances. Let Wu Mengda play one of the two stupid thieves, and think about the other one. Basically, I think this cast is about right," Li Mingbao said with satisfaction.  "It's okay for Fat Brother and Zhao Yazhi to come as guest stars, but what's going on with Ng Meng-tat? Don't you know he's a promiscuous gambler? He's lost a lot of money, and recently he couldn't even get a film appointment. He's so decadent.  It's almost rotten. I won't talk about these external reasons. Don't you know how Uncle Tianlin feels about him? As a human being, you can't forget your roots. Without Uncle Tianlin, let alone you, even I can't be like him.  Now that you're doing so well, I won't talk about Zhao Yazi's affairs, but you absolutely can't film with Wu Mengda," Li Minghui said angrily.  Hearing what his second brother said, Li Mingbao fell silent.  He thought of Wu Mengda before. One reason is that he and Wu Mengda are familiar with each other. They have been in contact with each other on the crew of "Chu Liuxiang" before. In addition, Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi combined, they are the ace comedians.  But now that he heard his second brother say this, Li Mingbao realized that his thinking was a bit simplistic.  Indeed, Wu Mengda is a golden supporting role, and he and Zhou Xingchi are a perfect match.  But these things are all in the future, and now Wu Mengda has not changed his ways, and Zhou Xingchi has not appeared yet. Wu Mengda alone will not have much effect, plus the relationship with Uncle Tian Lin,  There are indeed many problems with Ng Meng-tat acting now.  So Li Mingbao said calmly: "Okay, I won't ask Wu Mengda for the roles of the two thieves. After I finish the work at hand in two days, I will go to TVB to see if there are any suitable people." Listen  I realized that Li Mingbao didn¡¯t insist.When Wu Mengda was asked to act, Li Minghui nodded, which was regarded as approval of Li Mingbao's plan.  When he got up early the next morning, Li Mingbao started to be busy. Of course, he was not busy with the new crew, but with Sister Zi.  He just told Sister Zi yesterday that he would solve the problem with Sister Zi's husband. If this problem was not solved before the crew started, the matter would have been delayed for at least several months.  Li Mingbao can wait, but Sister Zi may not be able to wait any longer.  Therefore, at this time, Li Mingbao needs to solve this problem in the shortest possible time.  But Li Mingbao's trouble is obviously not only about the crew and Sister Zi, but also an even bigger trouble, which is the issue of the manuscript of "Kunlun".  Originally, Li Mingbao wanted to finish the script of "Kunlun" before the filming of "Baby Wisdom Stars" started.  But now that Sister Zi has suddenly been involved, Li Mingbao's time is a little short.  He can't afford to offend Ming Bao now. If the hero Jin Yong doesn't give an explanation, Li Mingbao's financial future will be in trouble.  There was no other way. Before settling Sister Zi's matter, Li Mingbao felt that he had to settle the "Kunlun" matter first.  Since Li Mingbao was the one who owed the manuscript, he naturally lacked confidence when facing Ming Pao. After going to the Ming Pao editorial department in person and explaining the reason, Shen Baoxing came forward to talk to Li Mingbao in a rare opportunity.  Because Li Mingbao was in the wrong this time, Shen Baoxing was able to attack Li Mingbao from the commanding heights and would not be cheated by Li Mingbao, so Shen Baoxing was in a pretty good mood.  "You said you don't have time to write this manuscript? This is very difficult to handle. Look at it now. Our Ming Pao is about to start serializing "Kunlun". If you tell me if the manuscript is wrong now, our Ming Pao will have a lot of trouble.  It's a big loss. Even if we have a good relationship, these brothers still have to settle the score. Can you tell me what to do? " "Well I'm really pressed for time. I'm not saying I won't give you the manuscript.  It just takes some time, so it shouldn¡¯t matter much, right? Besides, the entire manuscript is over 1.1 million words, and I¡¯ve given you more than 800,000 words, so there are only 200,000 to 300,000 words left.  It¡¯s not too much. When you publish it in Mingpao, publish it less. When I finish my new movie, I will hand it over to you and there will be no problem of interruption. As for raising this problem to the level of losing money?¡± Li Mingbao?  Said angrily.  Although Li Mingbao owed manuscripts, he did not owe them randomly.  He only handed over a fraction of the manuscripts that totaled more than one million yuan, but not the bulk.  After he handed over the big head, he still had some tail to pay, so his impact on Ming Pao was not much at all.  The book has not yet started serialization. With a manuscript of 800,000 words, it will only last for a few months. Li Mingbao does not believe that Mingpao will not be able to sustain it.  "Publish less, you said it lightly, but what about the credibility of our Ming Pao? It doesn't have a big impact yet. If everyone is like you, our Ming Pao manuscripts will have to be postponed to next year?" Shen Baoxing had an angry look on his face.  He looked very proud, but he was very proud of himself. He finally gained the upper hand in front of Li Mingbao. Even if he didn't say a few words, he would lose money.  Seeing Shen Baoxing's unwillingness to give in, Li Mingbao surrendered: "Okay, I am not at fault for what happened this time. I am guilty and I will just make amends. After I finish filming the movie, I will give you the manuscript of "Kunlun"  , write another new thing, so you will not lose money. Don't say anything else, this condition is very good, if you try to push it further, I will fall out!" Seeing Li Mingbao like this, Shen Baoxing knew that he couldn't squeeze it out!  After something happened, he happily let Li Mingbao go and handed Li Mingbao's new royalties to Li Mingbao.  Up to now, Ming Pao Publishing House has published the fourth volume of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and the results are quite good. In addition, based on Li Mingbao's advice, the book was translated into Japanese, and its sales in Japan are also very good.  If Ming Pao made money, it would naturally not forget Li Ming Bao, the man who dug the well. Just as the latest royalties arrived at Ming Pao, Shen Baoxing gave Li Ming Bao his share.  With a check of more than three million Hong Kong dollars in hand, Li Mingbao left the Ming Pao office building.  Then after finding a bank to deposit the money, he went to negotiate with Zhao Yazi's current husband.  Her husband now has a bad temper. He almost wanted to hit Li Mingbao when they first met, but Li Mingbao always likes to persuade others with kindness. He lifted the bespectacled man into the air with one hand, then gently put it down.  That guy is honest. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? are fearful of those who are stunned, this is an eternal truth.  In addition, this man with glasses, who is Zhao Yazi's husband, is a doctor, a gentle man, not even a tyrant. Compared to Li Mingbao, a man with a violent nature, he is really not much of a threat.  Although Li Mingbao has been practicing self-cultivation these days, the problems of more than ten years cannot be corrected. He likes fighting the most.  This guy wantsTo take action, it was simply to fall under the muzzle of Li Mingbao's gun. He was looking for death without finding a good opponent. It was really a tragedy.
