Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Hurrying slowly, Li Tiansheng finally arrived at the restaurant where he was going to meet before Lin Daoqiu.

He breathed a sigh of relief and placed the documents on the table before ordering himself a cup of coffee and waiting quietly for Lin Daoqiu to appear.

This time, Li Tiansheng's idea of ​​selecting the actresses for "The Boys" was very different from when he selected male actors before.

Because among the male actors in this drama, apart from Andy Lau, who was named the protagonist by Lin Daoqiu, the other three actors, such as Huang Rihua, Tang Zhenye and Miao Qiaowei, are all considered to be relatively outstanding young actors in recent times.

It can be said that they have been on an upward trend since this year. If they continue on this trajectory, I believe that within a few years, one of them should be able to take the lead alone.

As for this drama, Lin Daoqiu has told himself before that the main line of the story mainly revolves around Andy Lau and the four of them.

But until now, Li Tiansheng has not read the script. He doesn't know how many roles the female characters will have in this drama, so he doesn't know how to choose them.

It seems that Lin Daoqiu has no plans to let any big-name actors join the cast of the drama "The Boys".

I don’t know what kind of ratings this drama will get by then. Even Li Tiansheng, who has supervised many TV series, can’t say for sure.

While Li Tiansheng was still thinking about things, Lin Daoqiu and Fang Jinsheng had already arrived at the restaurant.

As soon as Lin Daoqiu entered the restaurant, he saw Li Tiansheng sitting there with his head down thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?"

After Lin Daoqiu came to his seat, he walked directly to the opposite side of Li Tiansheng and sat down.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's voice, Li Tiansheng reacted. He immediately stood up and looked at a loss.

"Sit down and talk. Stop being so polite."

Lin Daoqiu pointed to Li Tiansheng's chair and asked him to sit down.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I was thinking about something just now and didn't notice that you have arrived."

Li Tiansheng secretly blamed himself for why he was so absorbed in thinking about nothing. He didn't even know that Lin Daoqiu was here.

"Stop being so polite. Have you brought all the information?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at a stack of documents on the table. He believed that these should be the information of young female TVB artists.

"Mr. Lin, please take a look. These are the information of TVB actresses between the ages of 18 and 25. Basically, they are all here."

Based on the ages of the youngest Andy Lau to the oldest Miao Qiaowei, Li Tiansheng set the age of the main female characters at 18-25 years old from the beginning.

Lin Daoqiu nodded while listening, then he picked up the documents on the table and read them carefully.

Although I have watched a lot of TVB TV series in my previous life, if you look at most of the actresses in this information without looking at the photos and just looking at their names, you would have no idea who they are.

Moreover, many of them have faded out of the entertainment industry in later generations. Even if they are still there, most of them are playing green roles.

Except for Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan, TVB female actors at this time were not as shining as they would be a few years later.

Currently, the top four TVB stars are Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, Li Siqi, and Huang Shuyi.

The ones who have developed the best in TV dramas are undoubtedly Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan.

Wireless at this time coincided with the era of the intersection of old and new. The second generation of Hua Dan had just begun to rise, but these women had not yet made their mark in front of television.

So usually when there is a good TV series, the candidates are still chosen among Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, and Huang Xingxiu.

If Lin Daoqiu insists on letting Zhao Yazhi and Huang Xingxiu act in this "School Police Attack", it is not impossible.

If they had been cast in it, "School Police" would have received huge attention from the very beginning.

But Lin Daoqiu never thought about finding those big-name actresses to act in this play. He wanted a group of young people with youthful atmosphere, vigor and vitality.

Fortunately, Li Tiansheng was quite sensible and did not include Zhao Yazhi and Huang Xingxiu.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Lin Daoqiu was not familiar with TVB's actresses at that time, and he only knew a few, so he wanted to hear Li Tiansheng's opinion first.

Before coming, Li Tiansheng didn't know which actors to recommend, but at this moment he suddenly remembered the girls he had just met in the corridor.

Now that I think about it carefully, their ages are exactly the same as the required ages for this movie.

Although Jing Daiyin is only 19 years old, she is actually a student of TVB's eighth training class. If she is allowed to act in this drama, she should have good results.

There was a pretty good-looking girl with her at that time. She seemed not too old. Another role could be given to her, but Li Tiansheng didn't know her name.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know if you have heard of the actress Jing Daiyin. She is an actress in the eighth artist training class. She is only 19 years old this year. She has a sweet appearance and should meet your requirements."

After Li Tiansheng finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu couldn't remember what Jing Daiyin looked like, and he couldn't remember the other person's appearance even after hearing his name.

"Is there anyone else?"

Lin Daoqiu was not in a hurry to settle on it, because actresses couldn't be chosen randomly. After all, if they wanted to be worthy of those handsome guys, they couldn't look too bad.

"Zheng Yuling, Chen Min'er, Huang Minyi, Fu Yulan..."

Li Tiansheng mentioned a bunch of names in succession, but except for Zheng Yuling, the other actors Lin Daoqiu couldn't even think of what they looked like after hearing their names.

I found that after he finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu just looked at the information without saying a word, and I didn't know what he thought of the names he mentioned.

"I'm sorry, Producer Li, but I haven't even heard of the names of the actors in the information, including the ones you just mentioned, let alone what they look like."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Lin. I was just careless and didn't post their photos. Otherwise, I would have gone back and done it again, waiting for tomorrow..."

Li Tiansheng's original idea was to go back and reorganize the information, then post photos for Lin Daoqiu to choose.

But Lin Daoqiu interrupted him as soon as he raised his hand.

"No, I think otherwise, you can tell Miss Fang when you get back..."

…………

"Mr. Lin wants TVB to hold an open call for actresses from "The Boys"?"

After returning to TVB, Li Tiansheng immediately went to find Fang Yihua and told her what Lin Daoqiu said intact.

Fang Yihua really couldn't understand what Lin Daoqiu was going to do with this incident, why he suddenly wanted to hold a selection event and select four actresses at a time. Is he serious?

"Producer Li, did Mr. Lin say whether this selection event will be conducted within TVB, or whether it will be expanded to all of Hong Kong or the world?"

Shi Wenyan on the side seemed to be very interested in this. She rarely stood up and asked Li Tiansheng.

After being asked by Shi Wenyan, Li Tiansheng began to think back seriously.

"Mr. Lin didn't make it clear. He just said that he would use this selection activity to find four actresses who are suitable for the drama "The School Cop".

Li Tiansheng added another paragraph: "However, I have compiled a list of TVB actresses aged 18-25 for him before, but Mr. Lin seemed not very satisfied after reading it."

Hearing this, Fang Yihua's brows furrowed deeper than before.
