Subsequently, preparations for "Best Partner" began.

This movie tells the story of the thief King Kong who inadvertently left behind a white glove when he was robbing the treasure, which led the police to misunderstand that it was the work of the international thief White Glove. So they specially invited a bald detective from the United States to come to Hong Kong to hunt down the fugitive.

At this time, the real international thief White Gloves was unhappy with someone pretending to be his name, and came to Xiangjiang to get rid of King Kong. King Kong sensed the danger and decided to cooperate with the police.

In the end, after a fierce battle, White Glove was brought to justice. King Kong and the bald detective also became the best partners because of their tacit cooperation.

There are three main protagonists in this movie. One is King Kong, one is the bald detective, and the other is the bald detective’s wife.

As the protagonist of King Kong, Xiang Nan naturally takes on the role. The bald detective also plays a large role. The original version was starring Mai Jia. But Xiang Nan will definitely not be able to hire him.

Because Mai Jia is the boss of Xinyi City, she will naturally not take advantage of others.

But Xiang Nan was not at ease if it was handed over to someone else to play the role. After all, the role must be funny enough, but at the same time not overpowering and stealing Xiang Nan's limelight.

After the two discussed it, Wang Jing recommended to Xiang Nan Chen Baixiang, a brother who has collaborated with him in many movies. After Xiang Nan considered it, he felt that he was quite suitable.

Chen Baixiang's acting skills are very good. Although he has not won any acting awards, the fact that he can act with Zhou Xingchi and not be compared to him speaks for itself.

And he is also quite funny when he plays comedy. He has created classic roles such as Duo Lung in "The Deer and the Cauldron", Salty Chao in "The Best Bad Friend", Traffic Light in "Fashionable Chasing Girl", "Tang Bohu" Zhu Zhishan in "Dian Qiu Xiang" and so on, all left a deep impression on the audience.

Moreover, although he has good acting skills and is funny enough, he does not steal the show and is a very useful green supporting role. Therefore, Xiang Nan also thinks he is suitable.

…

Xiang Nan still hopes that Sylvia Chang will play the role of the man-in-law.

After all, her role as a man-in-law is really good, and she is even better in scenes with Mai Jia and Xu Guanjie.

In addition, Xiang Nan is not going to use Zhong Chuhong anymore as the man-in-law’s sister Dingdang who is in love with King Kong.

After all, Chung Chu Hong had already been his girlfriend in "Police Story" and left a deep impression on the audience.

When filming "The Best Partner", Xiang Nan just wanted to be innovative. If he collaborated with Chung Chu Hong again, the audience would be confused.

But if Zhong Chuhong is not used, who should be used? Xiang Nan's development focus has not been in Xiangjiang in the past two years, and he really doesn't know much about the beautiful new stars.

"Director Wang, what do you recommend?" Xiang Nan asked Wang Jingdao.

"In the past two years, many potential new stars have emerged in Xiangjiang." Wang Jing counted on her fingers, "For example, Lu Xiuling, Liu Lanxi, Dai Liangchun from Baodao, wireless new stars Chen Yulian, Zhou Xiulan, Jing Daiyin, Jia Li Saimin, Yu Anan and Guan Zhilin are all pretty good."

When Xiang Nan heard this, he blinked and said, "Then bring their information and let's study it first."

"Okay." Wang Jing nodded, and then brought the information.

Xiang Nan pretended to make a selection, and then picked Guan Zhilin out.

There are three recognized beauties in the Hong Kong film industry, Guan Zhilin, Lin Qingxia, and Li Jiaxin. Wang Zixian, Qiu Shuzhen, and Zhang Min are so beautiful that they cannot be listed among them. This shows how good-looking those three are.

If Xiang Nan wants to choose a CP, of course he should choose the most beautiful one, otherwise how can he be worthy of his reputation as a big brother in the film industry.

"Okay, it's her." Xiang Nan clicked on Guan Zhilin's photo and said.

"Good choice." Wang Jingdu agreed.

Guan Zhilin is indeed beautiful, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and a slim figure, just like a porcelain doll. With such a beautiful woman joining the cast, her appearance alone is worth the price of admission.

…

Subsequently, the crew of "Best Partner" sent invitations to all the artists.

Chen Baixiang and Guan Zhilin both accepted it immediately.

After all, it is a great honor for the two of them to cooperate with Xiang Nan.

If they become famous immediately, it will be of great benefit to their stardom.

However, Sylvia Chang declined the invitation because she wanted to film "A Lifetime Event" directed by King Hu.

Hu Jinquan and Sylvia Chang's grandfather were family friends. He had watched Sylvia Chang grow up, and they had a close relationship. In 1979, the two also collaborated on "Legend of the Mountain" and stayed together in South Korea for a year. Sylvia Chang learned from Hu Jinquan.

I learned the skills of many screenwriters and directors, so I regarded him as my mentor.

Therefore, although "The Best Partner" is a large-scale project with an investment of tens of millions, and she is likely to become a superstar on both sides of the Taiwan Strait with this film, she still refused this invitation in order to repay Hu Jinquan.

Xiang Nan can understand her approach. In fact, he admires her loyal children. After all, there are very few people who can sacrifice their fame and fortune for their loyalty.

But if Sylvia Chang doesn't play the role, the man-in-law will have to choose another role.

Fortunately, Wang Jing quickly proposed a new candidate, TVB's pillar - Zheng Yuling.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded.

In her acting career, Zheng Yuling has played numerous roles of strong women, such as ada in "Eagle Project", Mao Xiaohui in "Boy and Girl Love", Zheng Shuonan in "Cousin, Hello!", etc. She played the role of "The Most Powerful Woman".

The role of the man-in-law in "The Best Partner" was not difficult for her.

Moreover, Zheng Yuling is well-known. She has filmed many popular TV dramas on TVB, such as "Rainbow", "Bride", "Family", "Passenger" and so on.

In particular, the thirty-second kiss scene with Chow Yun-fat in "The Man Online" not only set a historical record, but also caused a sensation in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

Therefore, in terms of acting skills and popularity, she is a good candidate to play the role of a man's wife.

…

After Cheng Yuling received the invitation, she readily agreed, but she asked for a salary of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Logically speaking, although she is very famous, she has never made a movie before, so her salary is a bit high.

For example, Chow Yun-fat is known as the king of long-form dramas, but his previous salary for a film was only 50,000 yuan; when Zhao Yazhi starred in her debut film "Half a Category", the salary was only 10,000 yuan; Zheng Shaoqiu is so popular, and now he is hired to film, the salary is only 80,000 yuan.

Ten thousand yuan...

"How about replacing someone else." Wang Jing discussed with Xiang Nan, "Liao Jianren, Ouyang Peishan, and Mi Xue are all suitable."

"Forget it, just use her." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

Two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars is indeed expensive, but Cheng Yuling is worth the price.

Now that the bosses agreed, Wang Jing stopped trying to persuade her and immediately sent a notice to Zheng Yuling. Then, the filming of "The Best Partner" officially started.

Because this movie is Xiang Nan's second blockbuster after "Police Story", the audience is looking forward to it, and the media has also reported on it. As a result, the movie has already received a lot of attention as soon as it started filming.
