Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Since Mr. Lin is filming Gu Long's novel, we will use Jin Yong's novel to compete with him."

One of the producers present suddenly gave such a suggestion.

Fang Yihua also felt that the other party's suggestion sounded good.

Jin Yong and Gu Long are both masters of martial arts novels, and their novels have many fans.

TVB has adapted many of Jin Yong’s novels before.

The most recent remakes of Jin Yong's novels were last year's "Dragon: The Six Meridians Divine Sword" and "Dragon: The Legend of Xu Zhu".

The three protagonists of this drama are Liang Jiaren as Qiao Feng, Tang Zhenye as Duan Yu, and Huang Rihua as Xu Zhu.

Chen Yulian, who was supposed to play Wang Yuyan in this drama, had already transferred to ATV.

So the role of Wang Yuyan in this drama became Huang Xingxiu.

"We have already filmed The Eight Parts of Tian Long before. What does Uncle Tian Lin think we should film?"

Since it is a martial arts TV series, Fang Yihua felt that it should be handed over to Wang Tianlin, and the other producers did not have any objections.

When asked by Fang Yihua, Wang Tianlin suddenly became silent, as if he was thinking seriously.

Everyone also had a tacit understanding and did not speak, but quietly waited for Wang Tianlin to give his answer.

After a long time, Wang Tianlin slowly raised his head, and then slowly said those few words from his mouth.

“I recommend filming Jin Yong’s The Legend of the Condor Heroes.”

In 1976, Jiashi once filmed a drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". This drama swept the entire Southeast Asia that year, and Huang Rong was the most popular character in this drama.

It was precisely because of her outstanding performance in the role of Huang Rong that Michelle became the most famous female star in Hong Kong at that time.

Wang Tianlin proposed filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" because TVB had never remade this work before.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

After pondering for a moment, Fang Yihua seemed to be very interested in Wang Tianlin's proposal.

"In that case, let's start preparing for the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"."

Fang Yihua had a decisive character. As soon as Wang Tianlin finished speaking, she immediately decided on the matter.

However, for Wireless, if you want to remake Jin Yong's novel, you can't do it casually.

At least in terms of the actor's role, he must satisfy the other party.

So the casting process for "Legend of the Condor Heroes" began, and many people from TVB and others began to rush to sign up.

In TVB, where there are so many talents, it is not difficult to find excellent actors.

However, the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has just begun, and it has encountered a lot of trouble.

…………

"Aren't you satisfied with these people?"

Wang Tianlin brought many photos of TVB actors to Jin Yong's home, hoping that he could choose the leading actor.

Jin Yong didn't have many ideas about other roles, so he quickly settled on them.

But in the role of the heroine Huang Rong, Jin Yong suddenly became very insistent.

"Are there any other actresses?"

Although Jin Yong said this, it actually meant that he was not satisfied with the actresses Wang Tianlin brought.

Wang Tianlin, who had some understanding of Jin Yong's character, knew that if the other party could not be satisfied, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would be impossible to proceed with.

Returning to Wireless, I relayed Jin Yong's words to Fang Yihua, who also kept frowning after listening.

"This would be difficult to handle. With so many people, wouldn't there be anyone who can take notice?"

Fang Yihua also knew Jin Yong's character well, and she also had a headache about this matter.

Although Uncle Six and she had a good relationship with Jin Yong, they didn't want to get into trouble with each other over this matter.

You are just an actor. Finding ways to satisfy each other is not a difficult thing for Fang Yihua.

"Miss Fang, I have a proposal. I wonder if you are interested?"

At this moment, Wang Tianlin suddenly thought of a way.

"Uncle Tianlin, tell me."

Fang Yihua nodded.

"Mr. Lin held a selection event for "School Police" back then. I think we might as well hold a selection event for the most beautiful Huang Rong this time. What do you think?"

The biggest advantage of holding this selection event is that it can attract the attention of a large number of viewers from the beginning.

And in this way, we can find actors who can satisfy Jin Yong to the greatest extent.

""School Police Attack"..."

Fang Yihua was not very happy when he heard Wang Tianlin say that he would use Lin Daoqiu's previous method.

After all, when she heard Lin Daoqiu's name, she felt a headache.

That kid only knows how to cause trouble for Wireless, and he has always been like this from before to now.

And Fang Yihua is very sure that not only this time, she and Lin Daoqiu will definitely fight many times in the future.

"Do you think this approach will work?"

Fang Yihua was not sure whether the activity Wang Tianlin mentioned about selecting the most beautiful Huang Rong would satisfy Jin Yong.

But for Wang Tianlin, this is also a no-brainer.

If they don't do this, they really can't think of a way to make Jin Yong nod.

And if it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be no way to keep up with the progress in terms of time.

"In that case, let's do what you want."

Fang Yihua thought for a while and finally agreed to Wang Tianlin's request to let TVB hold a selection event for the most beautiful Huang Rong.

…………

“I didn’t expect that what was supposed to come came anyway.”

When he heard that TVB was planning to hold an event to select the most beautiful Huang Rong, Lin Daoqiu immediately realized that TVB was probably preparing to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Lin Daoqiu still remembers that classic work until now.

I didn't expect Wireless to think of filming this drama at this time.

I don’t know if it’s because of my own relationship or because of the irreversible relationship of history.

Anyway, in 1983, this drama came out, and as before, a selection event for the most beautiful Huang Rong was held.

Although according to internal information received by Lin Daoqiu, the proposer of this selection activity was Wang Tianlin.

However, it is said that he was able to come up with this method because he was inspired by the "School Police Attack" selection event held by Lin Daoqiu before.

When Lin Daoqiu heard the news, he felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

"Boss, do you think the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is getting off to a good start?"

Fang Jinsheng stood aside, looking like he was not particularly interested in the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

After all, in his opinion, Lin Daoqiu's TV series and movies have never failed.

Even if TVB releases Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this time, it shouldn't be a big problem for Lin Daoqiu.
