Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 334 Xiao Yang: Chairman, interference in politics by the harem is extremely harmful!
Chaoyang, office building
Qi Hui stayed in the chairman's office, pondering the costumes, props, and sets for the drama.

In the early days after the founding of the People's Republic of China, everything was in a state of chaos, and the police uniforms of Beiping were no exception.

There were black dog skins for the police who were retained, and straw-yellow uniforms for the People's Liberation Army. Later, after Beiping was renamed the Imperial Capital, the uniforms changed to dark green.

Its name was initially Military Control Commission, and it was later officially changed to Public Security Bureau.

Also, pay attention to the corresponding badges and armbands.

Of course, he wasn't the only one on the crew. If he did everything, what would the others do?
Qi Hui wrote down some ideas and opinions, and then sent them to the art director for him to handle.

If you encounter anything you don't understand, remember to look for information promptly.

This drama received support from Beijing TV and the Municipal Propaganda Department, and naturally, it also received corresponding support in terms of research.

The municipal propaganda department coordinated with the original liberation archives to allow access to historical materials.

At the same time, they also helped find historical consultants in the public security system to provide historical materials support for the production team.

Tuk-tuk-tuk~
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Qi Hui looked up and saw that it was Jing Tian.

"Why did you come over?" Qi Hui stretched out his arm and smiled.

"I missed you." Jing Tian chuckled, took Qi Hui's hand, and sat down on Qi Hui's lap.

Qi Hui buried his face in her neck, smelling the familiar fragrance of her hair, and felt a surge of joy.

With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, he felt all the mental fatigue from just now disappear.

“The house feels so empty without you here,” Jing Tian said. “I don’t feel comfortable staying here, so I came over.”

"I let you buy such a big house," Qi Hui said with a wry smile.

"Hmph..." Jing Tian hummed in dissatisfaction, not thinking there was anything wrong with the house.

There's nobody here now, but will there still be nobody in the future?

"How's the script reading going?" Qi Hui asked.

"It's alright." Jing Tian said confidently, "Although I haven't fully mastered it yet, I've already..."

Tuk-tuk-tuk~
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Qi Hui and Jing Tian looked up and saw that it was Xiao Yang carrying a stack of documents.

Watching the two of them so affectionately entwined together, Xiao Yang remained expressionless.

Chairman, your indulgence in women and debauchery may threaten the stability of the company!

"What's wrong?" Qi Hui asked, having handed over the casting of the remaining roles to Xiao Yang and Kong Sheng.

Right now, Xiao Yang should be selecting actors with Kong Sheng.

The Glorious Era has a long plot and requires a considerable number of actors.

Speaking of which, the female characters in the original work were really beautiful.

Xian Yi, Little Thing, Du Shiniang, Geng Sanniang, Bai Yulan, and the madam with the gold scarf...

Of course, the last one is actually Yamada Ryoko, a Japanese undercover agent who was recruited by the Military Intelligence Bureau after the war.
Xiao Yang glanced at Jing Tian and said hesitantly:
"I looked at some actresses and finalized the casting for Sin Yee and Little Thing; they're newcomers..."

In the drama, Sin Yi is a big fan of the protagonist Zheng Chaoyang and the daughter of gangster Sin Teng-kui.

The latter is actually a spy, and Xian Yi, as the daughter, has learned a lot of information and then passed it on to the protagonist Zheng Chaoyang many times to help him resolve the crisis.

The little guy was from Yuchun Garden in the Eight Great Hutongs, and he also provided a lot of help in solving the case.

At crucial moments, this unofficial helper, Xiao Dongxi, provided unexpected assistance, allowing Zheng Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan to make further progress.

On another note, the lurking Yamada Ryoko... is also the madam of the Golden Scarf. The little thing was under her control before being rescued by Qi Lala.

Qi Hui looked at Xiao Yang, his brows furrowing:
"If you've found an actress, just do it! Why are you so hesitant and stammering?"

"Haha..." Xiao Yang laughed awkwardly. Isn't the proprietress here?
What if they misunderstand and think you're selecting a concubine?
"Come on, let me see." Qi Hui patted Jing Tian's pert bottom; he had to get back to work.

Xiao Yang took out the documents and laid them out. There were a total of 6 candidates, 3 of whom were Xian Yi and 3 of whom were Xiao Dongxi.

As he looked at the document, Qi Hui asked, "What's your opinion?"

"I prefer this one for Sin Yi; as for the actress for the little one, I prefer this one," Xiao Yang said, pointing to the two documents.

Qi Hui took one look and couldn't help but laugh; both of them looked familiar.

Xiao Yang's choice for Xian Yi is Chen Yao, a student from the 13 class of Beijing Film Academy.

This is Yue Qiluo from "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," who played a couple with Xiao Zhang.

"She was originally a science student with good grades, and she got into the top class at her school," Xiao Yang said.
"But for some reason, she gave up her originally good academic studies and came to the capital with several thousand yuan to take the art exam."

"Not only that, but it was a success." Qi Hui raised an eyebrow. He understood what Xiao Yang meant: Chen Yao's financial situation wasn't very good right now, so giving her less didn't matter.

Qi Hui, however, did not intend to do so. The price for a newcomer was already very low; any lower and it would be excessive.

He can't be a capitalist who doesn't treat people properly... because he's been exploited before.

You can't make others suffer just because you're having a hard time yourself, can you?

Besides, he's not short of money.

Therefore, just follow the market price for newcomers.

Qi Hui put down Chen Yao's file and picked up another file pointed to by Xiao Yang.

"Hmm... Chen Duling?" Qi Hui was somewhat surprised.

"Not a professionally trained actor?" Jing Tian looked at it and asked in surprise.

This is a student at Jinling University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, majoring in aircraft manufacturing and engineering.

When Qi Hui saw the information, his eyes twitched as well. He knew that Chen Duling would later become quite famous.

But this was the first time I learned that she was a student at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, one of the "Seven Sons of National Defense" and a 211 university.

"How did you find her?" Qi Hui asked curiously.

Xiao Yang is really good at picking people; both of the actress candidates are top students in science and engineering.

“On the Facejoking website,” Xiao Yang said, “she’s the champion of the goddess rankings.”

"Even the Milk Tea Sister, who has topped the charts for years, was defeated by her, and she even used an ID photo."

At this point, Xiao Yang was somewhat surprised.

"Huh? Oh..." Qi Hui didn't react for a moment. After he realized it, he found out that the "Milk Tea Sister" was the wife of Liu Qiangdong, who didn't know his wife was beautiful.

"Did she agree to act in it?" Jing Tian asked.

"Well... I haven't contacted her yet. Let the chairman take a look first," Xiao Yang said after glancing at Jing Tian.

Chairman, interference in politics by the harem is extremely harmful!

Qi Hui didn't see Xiao Yang's worry. He stroked his chin and then switched the two sets of documents:

"Let Chen Yao play the little thing; let Chen Duling play Xian Yi."

Chen Yao's appearance was too youthful; a few years later, she was even able to play a cunning little girl in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".

Therefore, playing a small character is just right for him.

As for Chan Du Ling, her pure and innocent appearance made her a perfect fit for the role of Sin Yi.

In the drama, Sin Yi plays a fan of Zheng Chaoyang. Because Sin Teng-kui escorted Zheng Chaoyang out of the city, he was arrested by the Kuomintang. In order to save her father, Sin Yi sought help from a bank manager.

That person has connections with high-ranking officials in the Nationalist government and can save him, but on the condition that he marries Sin Yi.

This engagement caused quite a stir.

The main problem is that Chen Yao looks too young; she doesn't seem to be of marriageable age at all.

The evil old society naturally didn't talk about these things, but Qi Hui is now creating literary works, so he still needs to pay attention to some logic.

Therefore, the roles of the two were switched.

In fact, the characters Xian Yi and Zheng Chaoyang in the original novel don't seem like lovers, or even like siblings.

They actually look more like father and daughter.

The age difference between the two actors is quite significant, almost two generations apart.

"Uh... okay." Xiao Yang nodded quickly and left in a hurry.

He ran a few steps and then came back, handing over a rather thick document: "Chairman, these are some supporting actresses. Take a look first, and call me if you have any questions."

"Okay." Qi Hui nodded, pulled Jing Tian into his arms, and then began to look through the document:
"Come on, let's watch it together."

"Huh? Where did you find these actresses? They're so beautiful..." Jing Tian exclaimed in surprise.

She didn't know many of these people, but they looked very pretty.

Xiao Yang, who had just arrived at the door, rolled his eyes when he saw this scene.

Chairman, interference in politics by the harem will have endless consequences!
