After leading Yang Caini and Li Ruotong to her lounge, Li Meifeng brought two cups of coffee and left.
Kang Jianfei didn't know that Li Ruotong planned to quit the entertainment industry and become a flight attendant, but he was a little curious as to why Li Ruotong and Yang Caini came to see him together. He glanced at Li Ruotong, smiled and said to Yang Caini: "I heard your godmother said that you don't want to go to college.
Are you ready? What are you going to do?"
Yang Caini said nonchalantly: "Whatever, I think filming is good, staying in school is boring."
"For students like you who don't have to worry about food and clothing, and who don't have to worry about finding a job after graduation, college is like heaven," Kang Jianfei said. "If you really don't want to study, just go to the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and study for a few years.
Studying while filming."
"The Performing Arts Academy? It's different from an ordinary school, isn't it?" Yang Caini was not very resistant to this.
Kang Jianfei said: "If you want to play something interesting, there is actually a job that is suitable for you. I have been wanting to form a female singing group last year, and Pop Records and UFO Records are helping to find candidates, but now there is still one.
member."
"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," Kang Jianfei said. "There are two of your group members there. You need to get in touch before releasing a record, and you have to work on it."
Professional dance and singing training.”
Yang Caini smiled and said: "My mother makes the decision at home, and she will definitely agree."
Li Ruotong kept stirring the coffee spoon, and she, as an outsider, couldn't get in the middle of the conversation between her godfather and goddaughter in the room, so she felt awkward just sitting there.
Just when Li Ruotong picked up the coffee and was about to take a sip, Kang Jianfei suddenly said: "Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"
Li Ruotong quickly put down the coffee cup that was close to his mouth and said, "Mr. Kang, it's like this. I feel that I am not suitable for working in the film and television industry, and I want to return to an airline and work as a flight attendant."
"You don't want to be a celebrity but you want to be a flight attendant?" Kang Jianfei thought he heard wrongly.
Li Ruotong said: "I feel a little uncomfortable. The pressure is too much. Now I basically have insomnia every night. I think I will go crazy if I keep doing it."
"This is not a reason for you to quit the entertainment industry," Kang Jianfei said sternly, "There will be pressure in any career, it depends on how you adjust. Ask your agent to accept fewer film appointments for you in the near future, and you can relax and adjust yourself.
There is a health center over in Causeway Bay, run by Mr. Pan and Miss Zhao Yazhi. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the spa and practice yoga. If you still have insomnia after half a year, I suggest you see a psychiatrist."
Li Ruotong said: "But..."
Kang Jianfei interrupted: "Nothing to worry about. I am very optimistic about your potential. As long as you persist, you will definitely become a big star."
Li Ruotong lowered his head and said: "I starred in two TV series last year, and the audience's response was not very good."
Kang Jianfei didn't even care about what TV series Phoenix Channel aired. He asked, "What kind of movies are you in?"
Li Ruotong replied: "Two fashion dramas, "The Beauty Downstairs" and "Urban Feelings"."
Kang Jianfei stared at Li Ruotong and looked at her carefully, and quickly figured out why she didn't become popular. Li Ruotong's costume drama looks are actually quite beautiful, but compared with her costume image, they always lack a bit of stunning charm.
Moreover, Li Ruotong's age at this time is very embarrassing. She should be very good at playing an innocent girl at the age of 19. However, her image is more mature and intellectual. She is really quirky in the camera and cannot be innocent. And if she wants to play a mature woman, Li Ruotong's
My experience and acting skills are not enough, so it is difficult to succeed if I am neither good nor bad.
"The poor ratings response is not just your personal problem, it has something to do with the planning of the TV series. Don't be too aggressive," Kang Jianfei said, adding, "Of course, your acting skills also need to be honed."
Li Ruotong had originally prepared a lot of words to persuade Kang Jianfei after he refused. But now these words were stuck in his throat and he could not say them out. Kang Jianfei did not scold her or severely reprimand her, but told her to adjust her state and improve her acting skills. This
Li Ruotong didn't know how to answer the call.
Yang Caini originally only interceded for Li Ruotong, but now she also persuaded her: "Yes, Sister Ruotong, you can just adjust your condition. You are so beautiful, it would be a pity not to be a star."
"Then, shall I try again?" Li Ruotong decided to continue being an actor in a daze.
However, 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 create a TV series tailor-made for her?"
"Don't bother Mr. Kang, I will work hard to improve my acting skills." Li Ruotong quickly declined. Firstly, she felt that she was not so dignified for Kang Jianfei to support him, and secondly, all the actresses who were favored by Kang Jianfei had scandals with him.
Let Li Ruotong avoid it.
Kang Jianfei said thoughtfully: "I definitely don't have time to create a TV series myself, but I can help you design and select a suitable character."
In Kang Jianfei's memory, Li Ruotong has acted in so many movies and TV series, but there are only three that impressed him the most, namely Xiao Longnu in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Wang Yuyan in "Dragon" and "Ouchi".
Qin Cao in "Secret Agent Ling Ling Fa".
How should I put it? Li Ruotong is a type of actor who is very selective in roles, just like Liu Yifei, another popular actress who played the role of Little Dragon Girl. Li Ruotong and Liu Yifei are amazing in costume dramas. Although they are still beautiful in modern dramas, it is difficult to let them down.
People remember.
What would be good for Li Ruotong to play?
Kang Jianfei's first reaction was Little Dragon Girl, but Phoenix TV could not buy the TV series rights of Jin Yong's novels because Jin Yong and Shao Yifu had such a deep personal relationship. Only TVB in Hong Kong had the opportunity to film Jin Yong dramas. In another time and space, ATV launched
In the past few decades, I have only filmed one film, "The Sword of Yue", which TVB did not want.
Jiayi TV Station, which went bankrupt before, did film a lot of Jin Yong dramas, but that was because Shao Yifu didn't realize how popular Jin Yong dramas were.
When Gu Long passed away, his descendants were quarreling over his inheritance. Kang Jianfei sent someone to take the opportunity to buy the TV rights to all Gu Long's novels.
But which heroine in Gu Long’s novel should Li Ruotong play?
After much deliberation, there is only Tie Xinlan in "The Two Proud Women". The other heroines are either weird, too scheming, or have no sense of existence. Only Tie Xinlan is the most suitable for Li Ruotong to play.
Of course, although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" cannot be filmed, its theme song "Mythical Love Story" can be used, and "The Return" can also be used as an interlude.
Kang Jianfei asked Li Ruotong: "Have you seen Gu Long's "The Two Prides"?"
"I have only watched the TV series." Li Ruotong replied. She was talking about Phoenix TV's version of "The Greatest Love". Because Kang Jianfei bought out the copyright of Gu Long TV, the original version of "The Greatest Love" by Tony Leung Chiu-wai did not appear in Hong Kong.
Kang Jianfei said: "How about you play Tie Xinlan?"
"Ah?" Li Ruotong couldn't keep up with Kang Jianfei's rhythm, why did he suddenly get involved here?
The 19-year-old Li Ruotong is still very delicate and sweet, far less mature than she was in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". As long as she doesn't deliberately play the iceberg goddess with a straight face, she can play the role of Tie Xinlan brilliantly.
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Go back and read the novel "The Two Prides" carefully, and I will find some good actors for you. 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 trip was to quit the entertainment industry, but how could she inexplicably get the role of Tie Xinlan in "The Two Prides"?
Very few of Gu Long's novels are suitable for TV series, but "The Two Prides" is an exception. "The Two Prides" aired on Phoenix Channel a few years ago has exploded in ratings.
Li Ruotong was surprised why Kang Jianfei was so optimistic about her.
Could it be that he had plans for me? Li Ruotong thought of Kang Jianfei's romantic deeds and couldn't help but look at Kang Jianfei secretly, only to see him smiling at her and quickly lowered his head to avoid his eyes.
"Mr. Kang, then I won't disturb you." Li Ruotong stood up and said.
Kang Jianfei nodded: "Go ahead and adjust well at home. Don't take on the role before the filming of "The Two Proud Heroes" begins."
Li Ruotong left the room with a complicated mood, but Yang Caini came over with a smile, sat on Kang Jianfei's lap affectionately, put her arm around his neck and said, "Godfather, I miss you."
"My godfather misses you too." Kang Jianfei kissed the girl's delicate face, but what he was thinking about was the theme song of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He could no longer remember some of the lyrics of that song, and he could only remember the details.
Rely on your own imagination to create a second creation.
Rather than buying the TV rights to Jin Yong's dramas, Kang Jianfei wants to buy Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" more. Last year, Jin Yong revealed his intention to sell "Ming Pao".
It's a pity that Kang Jianfei's political stance is too clear, while "Ming Pao"'s stance is strictly neutral. It is definitely impossible for Jin Yong to sell "Ming Pao" to him.
Although the possibility is unlikely, 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 the Condor Heroes". After all, Li Ruotong's version of Little Dragon Girl, which is a hit in Asia, is there and cannot be filmed.
It's such a pity, the ratings alone can be earned from advertising fees alone.r1152
