Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 152: Meeting the Old Man

The bearded man gave a thumbs-up and praised loudly from the bottom of his heart, "Not bad, not bad, Xiaobei, your plan is very thorough.

He's very thoughtful, truly a genius, able to think so thoroughly!"

Although these words were meant to praise Hu Xiaobei, coming from the bearded man's mouth, it always gave people a feeling of self-boasting.

Hearing this, Wang Zhongsong's face became even uglier.

His lips trembled slightly, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment. He crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back in his chair, and muttered softly, "What's so great about it? We just thought the same thing."

Although his voice was so low that even the people next to him couldn't hear it clearly, Hu Xiaobei on the opposite side could hear it clearly.

It’s just that Hu Xiaobei didn’t show it.

At this time, other crew members expressed their opinions one after another, talking at once.

Hu Xiaobei leaned slightly to the side and listened carefully to everyone's thoughts.

He nodded slightly to show his approval from time to time and discussed enthusiastically with everyone, not taking Wang Zhongsong, the clown, seriously at all.

When the show was about to end, the bearded man did not ask any more questions about the filming.

Instead, he pointed at the MV on the screen and reminded, "Xiaobei, remember to give me a copy of this MV. It will come in handy tomorrow."

Hu Xiaobei naturally agreed.

The bearded man ended the discussion with satisfaction, and everyone stood up and left one after another.

After Hu Xiaobei briefly exchanged a few ideas about shooting with everyone, he slowly walked towards his room.

After a busy day, Hu Xiaobei just returned to his room and wanted to take a good rest to relax his tired body.

But just half an hour later, the cell phone suddenly rang, and it turned out to be Zhou Xiaowen calling.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xiaowen's voice was filled with anxiety and excitement: "Xiaobei! Hurry and bring the MV materials to the hotel's reception room!
Mr. Jin has arrived at the hotel. He just told us that he really wants to watch the trailer of The Return of the Condor Heroes. He heard that you filmed the MV and asked to see it!

Maybe if the old man is happy, he will have a different opinion of our play! You better hurry up and don’t delay anything! "

When Hu Xiaobei heard this, his originally lazy expression gradually became serious.

He has read quite a few of Mr. Jin's books and likes them very much.

So he sat up straight and asked in confusion, "Why did Mr. Jin arrive after dinner? I haven't prepared the information yet. It will take about ten minutes. Isn't it too late?"

Zhou Xiaowen urged, "There's no time to dawdle. Go as fast as you can! The old man just arrived and is talking to Big Beard and the others. Hurry up!"

Hu Xiaobei's heart trembled, and without asking any more questions, he replied, "Okay, I'll rush over as soon as I get the information ready!"

He picked up his laptop, copied the MV of "Waiting for Your Return", and then walked out of the room slowly.

The corridor was quiet, with only his footsteps echoing.

As he walked, he silently thought about the scene of meeting Mr. Jin, and for some reason he felt a little bit of anticipation.

The journey, which only took a few minutes, now seemed extremely long.

Finally, he arrived at the door of the reception room, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then pushed open the half-open door and walked in.

At a glance, he saw Mr. Jin sitting in the middle.

At this time, Big Beard, Yu Minjie, and Zhou Xiaowen were accompanying Mr. Jin to watch the trailer of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

The bearded man was the first to notice Hu Xiaobei. He raised his chin slightly and signaled him to come over with his eyes, but there was a barely perceptible nervousness on his face.

Hu Xiaobei nodded gently in response, and walked towards them, trying to walk lightly. When passing by Zhou Xiaowen, Zhou Xiaowen whispered, "Xiaobei, you're finally here. The old man is watching very seriously."

Hu Xiaobei replied softly: "Well, I hope not to disappoint the old man." Then he quietly found a place to sit down, his eyes also looking at the screen.

As the trailer for The Return of the Condor Heroes ended, Mr. Jin nodded slightly, his eyes filled with thought and his attitude unclear.

At this time, Hu Xiaobei formally greeted everyone, skillfully connected the equipment, and played the Xiaolongnu version of the MV of "Waiting for Your Return".

As melodious music sounded, the beautiful figure of Xiaolongnu was revealed one by one in the pictures, as she shuttled outside the ancient tomb, among the flowers and waterfalls. Every picture was exquisite and moving.

After watching it, Jin Yong's eyes were filled with emotion, and he couldn't help but say with emotion: "This MV is really well shot!
The charm and emotions of Little Dragon Girl are fully displayed, and the fusion of music and images is just right. It really brings the Little Dragon Girl in my mind to life."

Upon hearing this, the bearded man smiled smugly and said quickly, "Old man, this is all thanks to Xiaobei. He's really good at this! Many of his ideas coincide with mine."

Zhou Xiaowen also echoed: "Yes, yes, in order to shoot this MV well, Xiaobei put in a lot of effort and worked day and night on it."

As he spoke, he extended his hand and introduced Hu Xiaobei to Mr. Jin.

Then, he added with a smile, "Old man, you may not know that most of the scenes of Little Dragon Girl in this drama were shot by Xiaobei! He is from China..."

But before he could finish his words, Hu Xiaobei stopped him with a light cough.

Because he knew that Jin Yong was also a calligraphy enthusiast, and his calligraphy skills were pretty good, barely close to the level of a calligrapher.

Jin Yong not only absorbed the essence of ancient calligraphy masters, especially the brushwork of the "Four Masters of Song Dynasty", but also the charm of Huang Tingjian's running script.

At the same time, it also has the style of literati such as Hu Shi in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

In addition, he himself is a master of martial arts novels. His profound literary background and life experience add a lot to his calligraphy, forming his own unique style.

Hu Xiaobei was thinking about this when Mr. Jin cast his eyes over to him.

If the old man knew my true identity, he would inevitably come to ask for my signature.

Under such circumstances, it will inevitably arouse the interest of other people, which will definitely bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

These things and these troubles are what Hu Xiaobei doesn't want to see.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jin's eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity.

He looked at Hu Xiaobei and asked, "Oh? This little brother is so young, yet he has such talent. He is truly a young man to be feared!"
How did you come up with this way to present the character of Little Dragon Girl? "

Hu Xiaobei smiled modestly and said casually, "Thank you for the compliment, old man. I just wanted to restore the image of Xiaolongnu in your writing as much as possible.

The main purpose is to draw inspiration from the character and experiences of Xiaolongnu in the original novel, and then combine it with music, hoping to bring a different experience to the audience."

Mr. Jin didn't think much about it, and his eyes showed even more admiration as he looked at Hu Xiaobei again.

Hu Xiaobei did not take the opportunity to introduce himself again, nor did he go forward to exchange a few respectful words with the old man. He just nodded and smiled politely, and said no more.

The old man was already tired from the journey, so he was naturally happy to have some free time. He nodded politely, as if they knew each other.

Zhou Xiaowen on the side opened his mouth several times to speak, but seeing the reactions of the two people, he forced himself to hold his words back.

Hu Xiaobei took this opportunity to hand the copied MV to Big Beard and said, "All the information for the MV for 'Waiting for Your Return' is in here. If you have any questions, please let me know."

The bearded man took the information and laughed out loud, "Alright, Xiaobei, you did a great job this time!
Since the old man approves, it seems our show has potential! If you have any good ideas for the future, don’t keep them secret.”

Hu Xiaobei smiled and nodded: "Of course, of course. This is the result of everyone's hard work."
