"What's going on outside?" Wang Xuan asked Weng Yong.
When there was a commotion outside, Wang Xuan was still auditioning for the last candidate and did not go out. He just asked Weng Yong to go out and take a look. After Wang Xuan finished auditioning the last candidate, Weng Yong also came back.
"There is a gentleman who wants to participate in Guo Jing's casting, but he has not participated in Guo Jing's primary election. The security guard originally wanted to drive him away, but this man is quite strong, and even three security guards can't hold him down." Weng Yong said.
Wang Xuan was stunned.
Tianhai's security guards are all retired special forces. They are proficient in all kinds of grappling and fighting. Even three security guards can't stand it. It's not just as simple as being strong, but they must also be skilled practitioners.
In addition, what is going on now is the re-election of Guo Jing. How do people who have never participated in the primary election get the confidence to participate in the role of Guo Jing? This makes Wang Xuan a little curious?
"What about this guy?"
"The face is a bit square, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The face looks a little mature and the figure is a bit rough." Weng Yong replied. Having been with Wang Xuan for so long, he knew exactly what Wang Xuan was asking.
Wang Xuan was stunned.
With thick eyebrows, big eyes and a rugged figure, isn't this the Guo Jing that Wang Xuan has been looking for? And the face is a bit square, isn’t this the Chinese character face? The combination of these two image characteristics makes this person even fit the role of Qiao Feng.
"Where is the person? Where is this person?" Wang Xuan asked hurriedly.
"I asked him to wait outside." Weng Yong said, and he was also stunned. He rarely sees Wang Xuan in such a hurry. It seems that this person fits Wang Xuan's requirements very well. Fortunately, he didn't drive people away just now.
"Very good, let him come in and take a look." Wang Xuan said.
Weng Yong nodded.
Soon, Weng Yong came in with the man.
Wang Xuan took a closer look and found that this person fit the image of Guo Jing and Qiao Feng even better than what Weng Yong had described. He has a standard Chinese character face, a simple but heroic face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall and rugged figure...
Wang Xuan was excited, but with a calm expression on his face, he said, "First introduce yourself."
"Hello, Teacher Wang Xuan, my name is Yuanhua, from Qingcheng..."
Wang Xuan nodded when he heard this. He turned out to be a Mongolian. No wonder he had such a rough figure.
"The preliminary selection for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was held for a long time before. Why didn't you come to participate in the casting then? Why do you want to participate in the casting now that you have already re-selected?" Wang Xuan asked.
Yuan Hua was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "I didn't know that "The Condor" was casting at first, but later I found out and I didn't have the fare, so I worked part-time at the dock for many days before I could get the fare."
Wang Xuan was startled again: "The question is, Guo Jing's primary election has passed. You worked so hard to raise fares and then traveled all the way here. If you are not selected, or I won't even give you a chance to audition." what to do?"
The part-time workers at the dock are probably dock porters, and they do all hard work.
"Then I'll work part-time for a while to raise enough money to go back. I just watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and really liked Guo Jing in it. I thought he was a bit like me, so I knew that Guo Jing would be cast in "The Condor Heroes". When the time comes, I will come over." Yuan Hua said.
Wang Xuan nodded. This man is quite optimistic.
"What do you think is your advantage in playing Guo Jing? Do you want to play a part?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Come for a while?" Yuan Hua was stunned and didn't know why.
"The so-called "come a scene" means a scene with Guo Jing, which means that you can try out the scene." The assistant director explained at the side.
Yuan Hua nodded: "As long as it's Guo Jing's, any paragraph is fine?"
After Wang Xuan nodded, Yuan Hua suddenly landed on his right knee and did a bow bending to shoot a vulture. The movement was very standard, and it was almost the same as the one inside.
Wang Xuan was excited and immediately decided that Yuan Hua would play the role of Guo Jing.
Of course, Wang Xuan's "The Condor Shooting" will not follow this action, but refer to the action of the 1983 version of "The Condor Shooting". Guo Jing jumped up, bowed like a full moon, and bent his bow to shoot the eagle.
That action is more handsome than the description inside, and it is easier to become a classic.
When he heard that Wang Xuan agreed to let him play the role of Guo Jing, Yuan Hua was overjoyed and couldn't believe it. To be honest, he only came to the casting with the attitude of giving it a try. He also thought that he would stand out among many candidates, but he also knew that it was unrealistic.
This is Guo Jing! The absolute protagonist in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the first male, and he is a dock worker, graduated from high school, and has never acted. How could Wang Xuan agree to let himself participate?
"Yuan Hua, let me tell you first. The filming process is very hard, especially the filming of the scenes directed by me. It may not be easier than transporting it at the pier. "The Condor" has a total of 52 episodes. Adding up the major and minor plots, at least The filming lasted for half a year. If everything went well, it could have taken a year. And since you had no acting foundation and no reputation before, the pay would definitely not be high. After filming the whole show, I The maximum I will give you is 520,000, which is equivalent to 10,000 per episode. If you agree, the role of Guo Jing will be yours," Wang Xuan said.
What Wang Xuan said is definitely not an exaggeration. Regarding "The Condor", he will definitely not be careless and will reshoot if he is slightly dissatisfied. And for those fighting scenes, Wang Xuan will try his best to be realistic and will not rely on post-production editing and splicing.
But Wang Xuan didn't know that what he said was already an irresistible temptation for Yuan Hua. The salary of 520,000 yuan alone is hard to resist. How much money can he have left after working at the dock for a year?
Moreover, the hard work Wang Xuan mentioned was really not worth mentioning in Yuan Hua's eyes. He was born in a rural family and has suffered a lot since he was a child. How could filming be compared to the hardships he suffered?
"I agree, Teacher Wang Xuan, as long as you can play Guo Jing for me, I can endure any hardship." Yuan Hua said.
"That's okay, Weng Yong, go and get a contract for Yuan Hua to sign." Wang Xuan said.
When Weng Yong went to get the contract, Wang Xuan asked Yuanhua curiously: "By the way, my assistant said before that when you were making noise outside, the three security guards couldn't stop you. Have you practiced before?"
Yuanhua nodded.
Wang Xuan did not ask further questions. It is best to have martial arts skills. Wang Xuan has already planned that if Yuan Hua performs well in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he will sign Yuan Hua and let him play Xiao Feng.
If the performance is average, there will be nothing to follow, and Wang Xuan can even find someone to film "The Condor" again. Of course, the money will definitely be paid to Yuanhua. Anyway, the opportunity was given to Yuan Hua, it was up to him whether he could seize it.
In addition to the casting of Yuan Hua as Guo Jing, all the staff for "The Condor" have finally been recruited. Wang Xuan gave these key personnel half a month's leave to deal with trivial matters around them. Because the "shooting" process is very long, except for the Chinese New Year, Wang Xuan is not allowed to take leave midway without special reasons.
In fact, this half month is not only for other people, but also for Wang Xuan himself. He also has a lot of trivial matters to deal with. Again, filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a long process. Even if Wang Xuan has reference, he is not confident that it can be completed within half a year.
So in the next few days, Wang Xuan first wrote out some songs, clearly indicating who they were for, and gave them to Li Tao. Let Li Tao make arrangements to help Tianhai's singers produce songs. As for recording, just ask Gu Jiahui.
In fact, Wang Xuan can also directly give it to Gu Jiahui. If the question is given directly to Gu Jiahui, Wang Xuan is afraid that Gu Jiahui will think too much and think that he does not trust him. Because Gu Jiahui is also a very powerful composer, and occasionally helps Tianhai's singers to produce songs. If Wang Xuan directly composes the music for him, doesn't it mean that he does not trust his composition ability?
In addition, Wang Xuan also wrote a good TV drama script and handed it over to Wang Wei and Du Feng.
It is worth mentioning that for the filming of "The Condor" this time, Wang Xuan chose a new group of assistant directors who were different from those before.
As for Wang Wei and Du Feng, these two have already filmed three film and television dramas with Wang Xuan. It's time to go out and exercise. And Wang Xuan gave them this script just for them to practice. It's not a big production, it's just a campus sweet pet drama. The title of the drama is "The Little Time That Gives Us Warmth".
After arranging Tianhai's direction for the next few months, Wang Xuan returned home.
Then Wang Xuan discovered that his family had also changed drastically.
After not seeing each other for a few months, his hot pot restaurant has expanded again. According to Wang Qian, there are already more than twenty branches of Haidilao. Not only have they opened throughout Xiangjiang City, they have also spread to several surrounding cities. The next step is to It means occupying the entire Shonan Province.
His parents have become more and more like a boss and a landlady. They are capable, resolute and manage Haidilao in an orderly manner. Wang Xuan returned home. After knowing the news, the person in charge of the Xiangjiang Division of the Starlight Group came to Wang Xuan's house to visit him. They all called Wang Xuan his father as the hot pot tycoon.
Of course, this must be a joke.
Haidilao currently only has more than 20 branches, and Hot Pot Tycoon is far behind. Even the person in charge of the Xiangjiang Division of Xingguang Group cannot compare. However, because of Wang Xuan's relationship, the latter did not dare to look down on Wang Guojun. This visit to Wang Xuan's family is in the hope of strengthening the cooperation between the Xiangjiang Division of Starlight Group and Wang Xuan's family.
Yes, the cooperation partner is the entire Wang Xuan family, not just Haidilao, but also Tianhai. The person in charge wanted to tie the Xingguang Group division under his jurisdiction to the Wang Xuan family.
It's normal. Due to Haidilao, during this period, in the Xiangjiang District of Starlight Group, wherever Haidilao opened, Starlight Plaza became very popular, and store rents increased by several percent.
Especially the Starlight Plaza, where Haidilao's headquarters is located, is so popular every day that the store rent has doubled, and demand still exceeds supply.
Benefiting from this, the Xiangjiang Division of the Starlight Group has become the strongest division of the entire Starlight Group. The person in charge has also risen with the tide, and there are already rumors that the headquarters will be raised.
But there was only wind, and there was still a little bit of heat. The reason why this person in charge wanted to deepen the cooperation with the Wang Xuan family was also to add fuel to his own ass.
In this regard, Wang Xuan did not come forward and just left it to his father to deal with it. Facts have proved that his father handled the matter very well, without leaking any information, without being overly enthusiastic, nor did he neglect the person in charge of Starlight Group.
A lot of nice and flattering words were said, but they did not tie the Wang Xuan family to the Xiangjiang Division of the Starlight Group. Because Wang Guojun knows very well that his family's success depends on his son, not the Starlight Group.
Even though Starlight Group provided a lot of conveniences and discounts during the development of Haidilao, it would be the same if Haidilao was opened elsewhere.
Starlight Group's archrival, Huamei Group, has repeatedly invited Wang Guojun to open a store in Huamei Plaza. The conditions offered were even worse than those of Starlight Group, but Wang Guojun has never agreed.
How should I put it? Haidilao's development and growth is indeed due to his own son, but it is undeniable that the Starlight Group has also given a lot of conveniences. The cooperation with the Starlight Group is quite pleasant. As long as it remains happy, Wang Guojun does not want to cause any trouble to the Starlight Group.
I don’t want to be completely tied to the Starlight Group, I just don’t want to be manipulated. Wang Guojun also didn't want his son to owe too many favors to Starlight Group because of Haidilao.
Wang Guojun knew this very well, so he didn't say anything.
The person in charge of the Xiangjiang branch of Xingguang Group was a little disappointed when he saw this, but he breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Haidilao had no plans to open a store elsewhere.
How could he not know about Huamei Plaza and others' plans to dig up Haidilao? The person in charge came to visit Wang Xuan's family. In addition to wanting to strengthen cooperation with Wang Xuan's family, he also wanted to test Wang Guojun's tone. Now that I have the assurance, I am naturally relieved.
Seeing that Wang Xuan's family was getting ready for dinner, this man understood what was going on. He said hello to Wang Guojun and others and left.
"How was it? Did Dad handle it well?" After the man left, Wang Guojun asked Wang Xuan with a hint of pride.
Wang Xuan gave a thumbs up to his father: "Very good, Mr. Wang, he is becoming more and more like a hot pot tycoon."
...
Wang Xuan spent a few days with his family at home, and after successfully gaining a few pounds, he hurried to Shanghai.
His parents were so cruel. Not only did they eat and drink every day, but the dishes they cooked were all his favorites. If he stayed here any longer, Wang Xuan was afraid that he would become Little Fatty Xuan.
Wang Qian also went to the Magic City with Wang Xuan, and planned to watch Wang Xuan film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Unable to defeat Wang Qian, Wang Qian was indeed bored at home, so Wang Xuan followed her.
After going to the Magic City, Wang Qi saw Wang Xuan's residence and was amazed: "Wow, this place is great. The house is big and overlooks the Huangpu River. When can our family have one?" Is this a house like this?”
Wang Xuan's heart moved when he heard this.
Thinking about it, he has lived in Chen Xueqi's house for more than two years. Except for the symbolic rent of more than 100,000 yuan in the first year, Wang Xuan never paid rent again. Chen Aihua and Ye Shuyi naturally did not think about it. Wang Xuan was asked to pay the money.
Not to mention that the rent is not worth mentioning to the Chen family. Wang Xuan is about to become his son-in-law. What's the point of giving him an empty house to live in?
But Wang Xuan had different ideas. He has always wanted to buy a house of his own. It’s just that I have been busy before and didn’t have time to look at houses. This time I still have seven or eight days, and Wang Qian is also there. Why not buy a house?
