Chapter 302 Wuying Level
After seeing Fan Bingbing off, Xu Kun took Huang Bin to the elevator and waited.
Huang Bin quietly observed Xu Kun's expression and cautiously asked, "Brother Kun, did the people from Hainan Zhou Yi come to see you for the male lead of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? "
"Ah."
Xu Kun responded, and then instructed: "Ask them later whether they have arranged accommodation. If not, please help them contact them."
Huang Bin nodded quickly, and seeing that Xu Kun seemed to be waiting attentively, he didn't say anything else.
After the initial excitement, the young man was obviously uneasy with the status quo, because Xu Kun did not let him participate in the preparations for the crew and only let him help with some miscellaneous affairs.
As Huang Bin later became a famous agent, he was known for his strong career ambition. How could he be willing to deal with these trivial matters all the time?
Xu Kun had actually already seen this, and he still recognized Huang Bin's abilities. However, the two sides had not had much contact after all, so it was impossible for him to confide in Huang Bin so quickly.
The initial plan is to gradually deepen the understanding of the binding interests, and then let Huang Bin take the lead after Zhu Yawen is "unbanned" next spring.
If Huang Bin can't even endure a year, it only proves that the two of them are not destined to be together.

As the elevator door slowly opened, Zhou Ping, the boss of Zhouyi Film and Television, took the lead, followed closely by Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin.
Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin are known as the Three Treasures of Zhouyi. However, Yu Bo is currently much more famous than the latter two and he basically plays the leading role, while Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin can only play the second and third male roles.
However, Yu Bo's net worth is relatively high, and she is currently filming "Let Tears Turn into Pearl Rain", so Xu Kun set his sights on Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin from the beginning.
Zhou Yi also took the news seriously after he got it. After all, it was a collaboration between a new big director and the Sixth Princess. Although it was a TV movie, it sounded half a level higher than ordinary TV dramas.
So after a brief confirmation, Zhou Ping led his men to the capital from a distance of thousands of miles - the reason why it was not tens of thousands of miles away was because Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin had been in Hengdian, the Magic City, not Hainan.
Xu Kun went up to Zhou Ping and shook his hand, saying with a smile, "I hope Mr. Zhou will forgive me for not being able to come and meet you. This is mainly because there was a stampede at the gate earlier this year, so the company hopes that I will try not to stay outside the gate or in the lobby for too long."
"Understand, understand."
Zhou Ping is already over 50 years old, but he still has the energy and spirit of a middle-aged man. He held Xu Kun's hand and said with a smile: "Director Xu's experience is well-known even though I am far away in Hainan."
Then, he introduced the two people behind him, "Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin, both of them are former Wuying-level athletes, and their acting skills are not inferior to those of professional actors."
As for his acting skills, Xu Kun is mainly interested in the identity of a "Wuying-level athlete".
Xu Kun also shook hands with the two of them one by one. In terms of physical compatibility, Zhang Jin was obviously better than Yang Junyi.
Yang Junyi's looks are somewhat "unconventional", and the male lead of "The Escort" is a sunny and cheerful person.
In fact, Zhang Jin is not that sunny, but he is slightly better than Yang Junyi.
Xu Kun commented secretly in his heart and took the three people to his office.
After the host and the guest took their seats, Xu Kun and Zhou Ping chatted for a while, mainly praising each other.
Zhou Yi's performance in recent years is indeed good. "Water Moon Cave" and "Legend of the Spirit Mirror" are still popular on local TV stations, and can even compete with "Legend of Sword and Fairy" which focuses on the sinking market. Zhou Ping is quite proud of this. It is because Xu Kun and the Sixth Princess are famous enough that ordinary people would not be able to get Zhou Yi to come thousands of miles to join them.
However, when Xu Kun heard Zhou Ping say that he wanted to continue to explore the martial arts drama market, he was not very optimistic about them.
The trend this year is already very clear. Orthodox martial arts dramas are gradually declining, and only ancient idol dramas that focus on "beautiful, strong and tragic" characters are standing out.
It just so happens that Zhou Yi is a die-hard supporter of the "haircut" style from Hong Kong and Taiwan. If his styles are picked out separately, each one is more shocking than the other.
In the past, he could win by relying on plot and martial arts moves, but now the audiences are gradually becoming aesthetically fatigued with these two things. If Zhou Yi wants to rely on the old methods to make a name for himself, I'm afraid he's making a wrong calculation.
But Xu Kun and Zhou Yi had no relationship, so naturally they would not open up to each other as soon as they met. Besides, a man of Zhou Ping's age must have his own opinions, and it is unlikely that he would change his mind just because of Xu Kun's pessimistic words.
Moreover, Xu Kun himself was also filming a martial arts drama, and although it was for practice, he had no right to argue with Zhou Ping about this.
So after praising Zhou Yi for a few words, Xu Kun turned the topic to Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin.
"I wonder what you two are good at?"
"I'm good with guns!"
Yang Junyi said first: "In 95, I represented Jiangsu in the National Wushu Championship and won the first place in gunmanship and the second place in swordmanship!"
Obviously Zhou Yi had done some homework in advance and knew that the protagonist of "The Escort" used a gun.
Zhang Jin followed up by saying, "I am quite good at Baguazhang, spearmanship, and swordmanship. I worked as a stunt double for the Yuan Clan for two years."
Zhou Ping immediately added: "Zhang Jin has also served as a martial arts instructor in the crews of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero."
It seems that Zhou Yi is promoting Zhang Jin this time.
Yang Junyi opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, but his face showed some dissatisfaction and resentment.
After all, he had always played the second male lead and Zhang Jin had played the third male lead before. Now he finally had a chance to take on a leading role, but Zhou Yi wanted to bypass him and support Zhang Jin. Even though they were good brothers in private, Yang Junyi couldn't help feeling unhappy.
Xu Kun saw this scene and said, "Your strengths are reflected in Zhou Yi's TV series. It's a pity that our crew doesn't have two protagonists, otherwise I would really like to work with you two at the same time."
As he spoke, he took out two scripts from the drawer, put them on the table and said, "This is the main martial arts scene in the first part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". I hope you two can design a set of actions and perform them in person - the time limit is one week."
Upon hearing this, Yang Junyi was about to stand up and get the script.
Zhou Ping quickly pulled him back and asked, "Director Xu, does this mean that the protagonist of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will make the final choice between Xiao Yang and Zhang Jin?"
"Shi Xiaolong's team and the people recommended by director Deng Yancheng will each design a set of actions. At that time, I and the project manager of the film channel will evaluate the pros and cons - in addition to action design, acting skills and completion are also very important."
After hearing this, Zhou Ping showed a determined smile, let go of Yang Junyi and said, "Then it's a deal, I will transfer people from Hainan and Hengdian. As long as Director Xu uses our Zhouyi actors, we Zhouyi will take care of all the martial arts guidance and design!"
