However, she also fully took into account Xie Jin's ideas. She did not decide the actors directly as the boss, but kept discussing with Xie Jin.

"Who is it? Zhuge Liang or Zhou Yu?"

"Red Cliff War" is about the events of Red Cliff. There are only a few main characters, and the one who makes Xie Jin worry is probably between these two people.

"Zhou Yu has been handed over to Xiao Pu from Yanjing Renyi, and Yushu also approves Xiao Pu's appearance. It's Zhuge Liang,

She still insisted on letting Chow Yun-fat play the role."

Lin Chaoyang asked: "Do you think Chow Yun-fat is not good?"

Xie Jinchou grinned, "It's not impossible, how can I put it? If we follow the standards of "Three Kingdoms", 'eight feet tall, very majestic in appearance, and different from his time', there is nothing wrong with his image."

Hearing this, Lin Chaoyang understood that "The Battle of Red Cliff" is a classic part of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the criteria for selecting actors must of course be based on the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a literary work that pursues aesthetics and romance. How is Zhuge Liang described in it?

"He is eight feet long, has a face like a crown jade, wears a silk scarf on his head, and wears a crane. He looks like a god."

It's almost meaningless to measure Chow Yun-fat by this standard.

Chow Yun-fat is more than handsome, elegant, but lacking in air.

"Then do you have any candidates?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Xie Jin shook his head, "No."

"The filming will start in two months. Your leading role has not been decided yet. Do you want to change it?"

"I'm looking for it too!"

Lin Chaoyang knew that Xie Jin had made a lot of concessions in the script creation of "Red Cliff War".

As early as the late 1950s, Xie Jin discussed with Liang Xin, the screenwriter of "Red Detachment of Women", about adapting "Red Cliff War" to the screen.

In 1989, Liang Xin finally finished writing the script of "Red Cliff War" and handed it over to Xie Jin. Later, Xie Jin cooperated with Lin's Pictures. Knowing that the 30 million investment was hard-earned, he followed Lin's ideas and worked on the film.

Some commercial elements were added to the script.

Thinking of this, Lin Chaoyang also realized Xie Jin's difficulty and said, "Let me recommend someone to you."

"Who?" Xie Jin's eyes lit up, he still trusted Lin Chaoyang's vision.

"Zhuge Liang on CCTV——

Before he finished speaking, Xie Jin said doubtfully: "Where is CCTV? They haven't chosen Zhuge Liang yet!"

Regardless of whether it is a movie or a TV series, due to the shooting cycle, the actors are often not selected at the same time.

For a TV series like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that spans several years, many actors may have been in the cast for a year or two.

Tang Guoqiang's Zhuge Liang was not decided by chief director Wang Fulin until the autumn and winter of 1991.

This decision also encountered a lot of criticism at the time. It was generally believed that Tang Guoqiang's acting skills were average and he could not support the role of Zhuge Liang.

Lin Chaoyang was unclear about this detail. Hearing Xie Jin's words, he felt a little strange and changed his words: "Zhuge Liang at CCTV can also refer to ours."

"Who is it?" Xie Jin thought he was showing off and couldn't help but ask.
