He took Yang Caini and Li Ruotong to his lounge, and Li Meifeng brought two cups of coffee and then stepped out.
Kang Jianfei didn't know that Li Ruotong planned to quit the entertainment industry and become a flight attendant, but he was a little surprised why Li Ruotong and Yang Caini came to see him together. He glanced at Li Ruotong and smiled and said to Yang Caini: "I heard from your godmother, you don't want to go to college anymore? What are you going to do?"
Yang Caini said indifferently: "Whatever, I think it's good to film, and it's boring to stay in school."
"A student like you who has no worries about food and clothing and doesn't have to worry about not having a job after graduation is like heaven," said Kang Jianfei. "If you really don't want to study, go to the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts honestly for a few years, and study while filming."
"Academy of Performing Arts? It's different from an ordinary school." Yang Caini was not very resistant to this.
Kang Jianfei said: "If you want to play something interesting, there is actually a job that suits you. Last year, I always wanted to form a female singing group, Fengxing Records and UFO Records were helping to find candidates, but now there is still one member left."
"Singing group? Godfather, I want to join!" Yang Caini said excitedly. She had learned singing before.
"Go back and ask your parents for their opinions. If they agree, you will go to Taipei in a few days," said Kang Jianfei. "There are two of your team members over there. You need to get some exercise before you release the record, and you also need to conduct professional dance and singing training."
Yang Caini smiled and said, "My mother is the one who decides the family, and she will definitely agree."
Li Ruotong kept stirring the coffee spoon and chatting with her godfather and goddaughter in the room. She was an outsider and couldn't even get into the mouth, so she was so embarrassed to sit there.
Just as Li Ruotong picked up the coffee and was about to take a sip, Kang Jianfei suddenly said, "Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to me today?"
Li Ruotong quickly put down the coffee cup that was close to her mouth and said, "Mr. Kang, that's right. I feel that I'm not suitable for working in the film and television industry and want to go back to the airline to be a flight attendant."
"Don't be a star or a flight attendant?" Kang Jianfei thought he had heard it wrong.
Li Ruotong said: "I feel a little uncomfortable and the pressure is too great. Now I basically have insomnia every night. If I continue to do it, I guess I will go crazy."
"This is not the reason for you to quit the entertainment industry," Kang Jianfei said seriously. "It will be stressful to do any profession. It depends on how you adjust it. Let your agent less appointments for you in the near future, and you can relax and adjust your condition yourself. There is a health center in Causeway Bay, which was opened by you Mr. Pan and Miss Zhao Yazhi. You can do spas and practice yoga. After half a year, you still have insomnia. I suggest you go to see a psychologist."
Li Ruotong said: "But..."
Kang Jianfei interrupted and said, "Nothing is true. I am optimistic about your potential. As long as you can persevere, you will definitely become a big star."
Li Ruotong lowered her head and said, "I starred in two TV series last year. The audience's reaction was not very good."
Kang Jianfei didn't care about what TV series it broadcasts on Phoenix Channel. He asked: "What kind of movie are you acting in?"
Li Ruotong replied: "Two fashion dramas, "The Artist Downstairs" and "Urban Sentiment".
Kang Jianfei stared at Li Ruotong and looked carefully, and soon realized the reason why she couldn't become famous. Li Ruotong's fashion drama looks pretty, but compared with her costume image, she always lacks a little stunning charm.
Moreover, Li Ruotong was very awkward at this time. She should be very outstanding when she was 19 years old. But her image is more mature and intellectual, and she is really weird in the camera and can't be innocent. And if she wants to play a mature woman, Li Ruotong's experience and acting skills are not enough, so it is difficult to succeed if she can't make it.
"The ratings response is not good. It's not just your personal problem. It's related to the planning of the TV series. Don't be too stubborn," Kang Jianfei said, adding, "Of course, your acting skills also need to be honed."
Li Ruotong was originally ready to persuade Kang Jianfei after he refused. As a result, these words were not spoken in his throat. Kang Jianfei did not scold her or scold her severely, but asked her to adjust her state and improve her acting skills, which made Li Ruotong not know how to respond.
Yang Caini originally only pleaded for Li Ruotong, but now she advised: "Yes, Sister Ruotong, you can adjust your condition. You are so beautiful, it would be a pity not to be a star."
"Then, I'll try again?" Li Ruotong decided to continue to be an actor in a confused manner.
Yang Caini tested Kang Jianfei's talent like a prank. She said, "Godfather, you are so powerful, why don't you personally help Sister Ruotong tailor a TV series?"
"Don't bother Mr. Kang, I will work hard to train my acting skills." Li Ruotong quickly refused. First, she felt that she was not as generous as she was so proud that Kang Jianfei would promote her. Second, the actresses who were praised by Kang Jianfei had all had scandals with him, which made Li Ruotong avoid.
Kang Jianfei said with thoughtfulness: "I definitely don't have time to create a TV series by myself, but it's okay to help you design and choose a suitable character."
In Kang Jianfei's memory, Li Ruotong has acted in so many movies and TV series, but only three of them impressed him the most, namely Xiaolongnu in "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Wang Yuyan in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Qin Cao in "The Spy of the Great Uncle Zero".
How to say, Li Ruotong is the kind of actor who is very picky of roles, just like another actress Liu Yifei who became popular with Xiaolongnu. Li Ruotong and Liu Yifei are amazing in costume dramas, but although they are still beautiful in modern dramas, they are hard to remember.
What should I do if Li Ruotong plays?
Kang Jianfei's first reaction was Xiaolongnu, but Phoenix Channel could not buy the copyright of Jin Yong's novels at all. Because Jin Yong and Shao Yifu had too deep personal relationships, only TVB in Hong Kong had the opportunity to film Jin Yong's dramas. In another time and space, ATV had only filmed a TVB-not-free "The Sword of the Yue Girl" that TVB didn't want.
Jiayi TV Station, which had gone bankrupt in the past, has filmed many Jin Yong dramas, but that was because Shao Yifu had not yet realized how popular Jin Yong dramas were.
When Gu Long died, his descendants were in trouble for inheritance. Kang Jianfei sent someone to buy all the TV copyrights of Gu Long's novels.
But who was asked to play Li Ruotong as the heroine in Gu Long's novel?
After thinking about it, there is only Tie Xinlan in "The Twins". The other heroines are either quirky, too scheming, or have no sense of existence. Only Tie Xinlan is the most suitable for Li Ruotong to play.
Of course, although "The Return of the Condor Heroes" cannot be filmed, its theme song "Mythical Love Words" can be used, and "Returning to the World" can also be used as an interlude.
Kang Jianfei asked Li Ruotong: "Have you seen Gu Long's "The Two Proud"?"
"I have only watched TV series." Li Ruotong replied. She was talking about Phoenix TV version of "The Two Prouds". Because Kang Jianfei bought out the copyright of Gu Long TV, the original version of Tony Leung's "The Two Prouds" did not appear in Hong Kong.
Kang Jianfei said: "How about you come to play Tie Xinlan?"
"Ah?" Li Ruotong couldn't keep up with Kang Jianfei's rhythm, so why did she suddenly get into this?
19-year-old Li Ruotong is still very delicate and sweet, far less mature than her in "The Return of the Condor Heroes". As long as she does not deliberately play the role of Iceberg goddess with a stern face, she can completely play the role of Tie Xinlan very well.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Go back and read the novel "The Twins of the Ghostly" carefully. I will find you a few good actors to play. I can guarantee that as long as this TV series is broadcast, you will definitely become famous."
Li Ruotong looked at Kang Jianfei in surprise. The purpose of her visit today was to quit the entertainment industry, but how could she inexplicably get the role of Tie Xinlan in "The Twins of the Peerless"?
There are very few Gu Long's novels suitable for filming TV series, but "The Two Proud" is an exception. "The Two Proud" broadcast on Phoenix TV a few years ago had a huge rating.
Li Ruotong was surprised at why Kang Jianfei was so optimistic about her.
Did he have any intentions for me? Li Ruotong remembered Kang Jianfei's romantic deeds and couldn't help but look at Kang Jianfei secretly, but saw him smiling at him, and quickly lowered his head to avoid the other party's eyes.
"Mr. Kang, then I won't disturb you." Li Ruotong stood up and said.
Kang Jianfei nodded: "Go, make some adjustments at home. Don't take on the role before the filming of "The Two Glorious Ones" starts."
Li Ruotong left the room in a complicated mood, but Yang Caini walked over with a smile, sat affectionately on Kang Jianfei's lap, hooked his arm around his neck and said, "Godfather, I miss you."
"Godfather misses you too." Kang Jianfei kissed the girl's delicate face, but he was thinking about the theme song of "The Return of the Condor Heroes". He could no longer remember some of the lyrics of that song, and he could only rely on his own imagination to create the second creation.
Compared to buying the TV copyright of Jin Yong's drama, Kang Jianfei wanted to buy Jin Yong's "Ming Pao". Last year, Jin Yong expressed his intention to take over "Ming Pao".
Unfortunately, Kang Jianfei's political stance is too clear, but Ming Pao's position is to strictly adhere to neutrality. Jin Yong will definitely not be able to sell Ming Pao to him.
Although the possibility is not great, Kang Jianfei still wants to talk to Jin Yong in person and try to see if he can buy the copyright of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". After all, the original Asian version of Li Ruotong is where Little Dragon Girl is popular, and it is a pity not to be filmed. The ratings can be made with just advertising fees.
