"What about this?"

"No, it's too short!"
"this?"
"Too ugly, pass!"
"this?"
"Too old, pass!"
"Well... forget it, I'll just pass!"
"Are there any more? Make another batch!"
"Mr. Xiao Li, this is the last batch!"
In the general manager's office, Li Xuelu and Xu Ke stood on either side of Li Wannian like two guardians, watching Li Wannian pass the information in his hands one by one.
Li Xuelu felt helpless when she saw Mr. Li excluding the male actors from his TV station one by one.
Is Mr. Li too difficult to serve?
There are so many male actors on the TV station, but none of them can satisfy his... vision!
"Hey, such a big TV station doesn't even have a handsome actor!"
Li Wannian leaned weakly on the back of his office chair and sighed.
"Isn't Luo Changlin pretty enough?"
"He's okay in ancient costumes, but his face is too round in modern dramas!"
Li Wannian picked up Luo Changlin's information again. Looking at the handsome boy in front of him, it was difficult to connect him with "Ren Wo Xing", "Song Que" and "Ma Chengcai" who would be full of wrinkles in the future.
All I can say is that time is really a butcher's knife!
After celebrating his birthday, Li Wannian also focused on the casting of "Hong Kong Island Love Story".
The actress has already been decided, so Li Wannian doesn't need to worry too much, but it is really difficult to choose the actor, especially the first male actor Wei Wanzhi and the second male lead Shang Jianyi. If the actors cannot support these two roles, That whole TV series is useless.
"Mr. Xiao Li, what kind of actor do you want?"
"The first male is sunny, weak, and well-behaved, and the second male is free, uninhibited, and rogue. The most important thing is that both of them are pretty!" Li Wannian emphasized again.
"Dingling bell..."
Just as the three of them fell into silence, the phone on the desk rang.
Li Wannian winked at Li Xuelu, who picked up the phone and quickly handed it to Li Wannian.
"Director Li's phone number!"
Li Wannian answered the phone a little strangely.
"Brother?"
"Have you found the actor?"
Li Wanshui's voice came from the phone.
"not yet!"
"As for an actor, I have a recommendation here. He's really good-looking, but he's a singer, is that okay?"
"No problem, who is it?"
An hour later, Li Wannian was sitting in a private room of a tea restaurant in Broadcasting Road. He was very surprised when he looked at the handsome boy in front of him.
Brother, you are too fierce. I just wanted a tractor, but you gave me a Ferrari backhandedly!
"Hello, my name is Zhang Guorong, what do you want from me?"
Li Wannian was filled with emotion in his heart for the man in front of him, who had three-dimensional facial features but relatively gentle facial lines.
That's right, the singer Li Wanshui found for Li Wannian was none other than Leslie Cheung.
At this time, Zhang Guorong was not the superstar of later generations.
Today, he is just a little-known new singer. He just released his first English album "Day Dreaming" this year. He has not even sung a Cantonese song or a Mandarin song. You can imagine his popularity.
"Hello, my name is Li Wannian. This is director Tsui Hark. We have a TV series here and we want you to be the leading actor!"
"Li Wannian? Oh, I know, long live the genius cartoonist you are! I also like to draw, and I like your "Death" very much!"
Although Zhang Guorong is very talkative, he did not mention a word about the TV series he just mentioned.
Li Wannian did not intend to give up, and continued: "Our TV series happens to be adapted from my comic..."
"What? You want to film "Death"?"
"Uh, no, it's a comic that hasn't been released yet, "Hong Kong Island Love Story"!"
As he spoke, Li Wannian took out the first few chapters of the comic, along with the script.
"Can I take a look first?"
This time, Zhang Guorong did not choose to refuse.
The comic scripts are not very long, so Zhang Guorong read them quickly and finished them in less than half an hour.
"The story is quite good! Did you ask me to play Shang Jianyi?"
"Uh, of course...who do you want to play?"
Li Wannian didn't expect that the other party would ask this. After all, after learning the other party's identity, Li Wannian originally planned to let Leslie Cheung play the first male lead, but now it seems that the other party wants to play the second male lead.
"Shang Jianyi is quite good. Underneath his seemingly unruly personality, he hides a gentle heart. He is very similar to me!"
"Then you agreed?"
When he saw that the other party was interested, Li Wannian didn't care who he played, he could fool anyone!
What's more, Zhang Guorong and Shang Jianyi are indeed very similar. They are both children of rich families, so they can be interpreted very well if you think about it!
At this point, Zhang Guorong spread his hands, and LeBron... said helplessly: "There is a problem, I still have a contract with Li's!"
It turns out that Leslie Cheung won the runner-up in the Asian Singing Contest Hong Kong held by Lai's TV last year, and then directly signed a contract with Lai's to make his debut.
"Don't worry about this. Your liquidated damages are not high. It's not a problem at all to come to Jiayi!"
Although Zhang Guorong signed a contract with Li's, he is currently not taken seriously and has no resources at all. He has been signed for a year, has not filmed a TV series, and has only released one album in English.
Jiayi let him shoot TV series. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted. However, his mentor Li Xiaotian treated him well after all. He couldn't bear to let him change jobs immediately.
"I don't know what you are struggling with, but this is definitely an opportunity for you. There are many male actors in ATV, and you won't get many opportunities. On the contrary, we Jiayi lack outstanding male stars. After you come, we can give you the best resources!"
"Aren't you a cartoonist? Can you have the final say on Jiayi TV?" Zhang Guorong asked doubtfully.
"He can do this!"
Tsui Hark, who had been silent, finally said: "Mr. Li of our TV station has appointed Wansui as the development consultant of the TV production department. In other words, he can ask about the TV, variety shows, and animations of the TV station!"
Almost instantly, Zhang Guorong understood that the TV station was his after all, and he really had the final say!
"I'll think about it!"
"Please give me an answer as soon as possible, after all, our crew is waiting to start filming!"
Li Wannian didn't expect to convince Zhang Guorong the first time they met, after all, the other party didn't trust him, and it would take time.
But the other party hasn't explicitly refused until now, which means there is a lot of hope!
However, just as the meeting ended and several people walked out of the store together, something unexpected happened.
A handsome boy with a fair face suddenly came to Zhang Guorong and said to him: "Some people say we look alike!"
Zhang Guorong looked at the strange guy with a puzzled look on his face and asked curiously: "Who are you?"
"My name is also Danny, I'm Chen Baiqiang!"
