From Composer to Entertainment Superstar

"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 have a look. When 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 guards originally wanted to drive him away, but this man is quite powerful, 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. 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 bit 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 his face is a bit square, isn't this the Chinese character face? Combined with these two image characteristics, this person even fits the role of Qiao Feng.

"Where is this 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 saw Wang Xuan in such a hurry. It seemed that this person met Wang Xuan's requirements. Fortunately, he just

Didn't drive people away.

"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 man fit the image of Guo Jing and Qiao Feng even better than what Weng Yong had described. He had 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 collect the fare."

Wang Xuan was stunned again: "The primary election for Guo Jing has passed. You worked so hard to raise the fare 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?"

Part-time workers at the dock are probably dock porters, and they do 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 looked a bit like me, so I decided to cast Guo Jing in "The Condor Heroes" after I knew it.

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?" Yuanhua was stunned, not knowing 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 "Shooting the Condor" would not follow this action, but refer to the action of the 1983 version of "Shooting the Condor". Guo Jing jumped up, bowed like a full moon, and bent his bow to shoot the vulture.

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, and he also thought that he would be in the role.

He stood out among many people, but he also knew that it was unrealistic.

This is Guo Jing! The absolute protagonist and male lead in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", 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 filming the scenes directed by me. It may not be easier than transporting it at the dock. "The Condor" has a total of 52 episodes, and the major and minor plots added up, at least

The filming lasted for half a year. If things went well, it would have taken a year. But 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 Shooting", he will definitely not be careless and will reshoot if he is slightly dissatisfied. And for those fighting scenes and the like, Wang Xuan will try his best to be realistic and will not rely on post-production.

Clip 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 was hard to resist. How much money would he have left after working at the dock for a year?

Moreover, the hard work Wang Xuan mentioned is 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 can filming be compared to the hardships he has 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. It is best to have martial arts skills. Wang Xuan had already planned that if Yuan Hua performed well in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he would sign Yuan Hua and let him play the role of Xiao Feng.

If the performance is average, there will be no follow-up, and Wang Xuan can even find someone to film "The Condor" again. Of course, the money will definitely be paid to Yuan Hua. Anyway, the opportunity is given to Yuan Hua, it depends on whether he can seize it.

In addition to the casting of Yuan Hua as Guo Jing, all the staff for "The Condor" were finally recruited. Wang Xuan gave these main staff half a month's leave to deal with trivial matters around them. Because the "shooting" process is very long, except

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

, and I don’t have the confidence to finish filming within half a year.

So in the next few days, Wang Xuan first wrote out some songs, with the score clearly indicating who they were for, and handed them over to Li Tao. Li Tao was asked to make arrangements for Tianhai's singers to 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.

If a Tianhai singer produces a song, and Wang Xuan directly composes it for him, doesn't it mean that he doesn't have confidence in 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 Shooting" 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, and it’s time to go out and get some exercise. Wang Xuan gave them this script just for them to practice. It’s not a big production.

It's a sweet campus drama, titled "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

That means occupying the entire Shonan Province.

His parents became more and more like a boss and a landlady, capable and resolute, and managed Haidilao in an orderly manner. After Wang Xuan returned home, the person in charge of the Xiangjiang Division of Xingguang Group knew the news and came to Wang Xuan's house to visit.

Wang Xuan calls his dad after the hot pot tycoon.

Of course, this must be a joke.

Haidilao currently only has more than 20 branches, and the hot pot tycoon is far behind. Even the person in charge of the Xiangjiang division of the Starlight Group cannot compare. However, because of Wang Xuan's relationship, the latter did not dare to look down on Wang Guojun. This time

I came to visit Wang Xuan's house in the hope of strengthening the cooperation between Xingguang Group's Xiangjiang Division and Wang Xuan's house.

Yes, the cooperation partner is the entire Wang Xuan family, not just Haidilao, but also Tianhai. The person in charge wants 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 store rents have doubled, and demand still exceeds supply.

Benefiting from this, the Xiangjiang Division of 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 is just a rumor, but there is still a lack of fire. The reason why the person in charge wants to deepen the cooperation with the Wang Xuan family is also to add fire under his own butt.

In this regard, Wang Xuan did not come forward and just left it to his father to handle it. Facts have proved that his father handled it very well, without leaking any information, without being overly enthusiastic, and did not neglect the person in charge of Starlight Group.

They sounded nice and flattered a lot, but they did not tie the Wang Xuan family to the Xiangjiang Division of the Starlight Group. Because Wang Guojun knew very well that his family's success depended on his own 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.

Huamei Group, the archrival of Starlight Group, has invited Wang Guojun to open a store in Huamei Plaza many times, and the conditions offered by it are even better than those of Starlight Group, but Wang Guojun has never agreed.

How to put it this way, 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, and the cooperation with the Starlight Group is quite pleasant. As long as it remains happy, Wang Guojun does not want to cause trouble to the Starlight Group.

He doesn’t want to be completely tied up with the Starlight Group, he just doesn’t want to be manipulated. Wang Guojun also doesn’t want his son to owe too many favors to the 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 trying to dig up Haidilao? This 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

After receiving the assurance, I was naturally relieved.

Seeing that Wang Xuan's family was getting ready for dinner, this man knew what was going on. He said hello to Wang Guojun and others and left.

"How's it going? Did Dad handle it well?" After the man left, Wang Guojun asked Wang Xuan, which was not without a sense of pride.

Wang Xuan gave a thumbs up to his father: "Very good, Mr. Wang, you are 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 quickly went to Shanghai.

His parents were so cruel. Not only did they eat a lot of meat and fish 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". But Wang Qian couldn't resist it, and Wang Qian was really bored at home, so Wang Xuan followed her.

After going to the Magic City, Wang Qian 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 payment of more than 100,000 yuan in rent 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 nothing to the Chen family. Wang Xuan is about to become his son-in-law, so what's the point of giving him an empty house to live in?

But Wang Xuan has a different idea. He has always wanted to buy a house of his own. But he has been busy before and has no time to look at the house. This time there are still seven or eight days left, and Wang Qian is also here, why not buy one

house?
