Chapter 267

~7 min read 1,254 words

There is still one year until the Olympic Games; he can prepare slowly.

During this time, Chen Mo was busy with the shooting of "Beijing Welcomes You" and "CJ7".

The first to end was the shooting of "Beijing Welcomes You".

Although the shooting of the MV was very simple, the later production was very complex; just the audio material files were about 11 GB, which is a very huge data in 2007.

After the singers finished shooting the MV, they also had to conduct flat shooting and Olympic blessing interviews; the material totaled more than 7, 00 minutes.

Chen Mo waved his hand and directly hired more than 200 post-production personnel to produce the MV.

"Mo!"

Liu Yifei ran into Chen Mo's office, her little mouth almost pouting to the sky.

"What's wrong? Missed me?"

Chen Mo had a wicked smile on his face and pulled Liu Yifei into his arms.

"You calculate for yourself how long you haven't filmed with me? Last time you even filmed a TV series with Mimi, and the two of you even stayed in the crew for so long."

The more Liu Yifei said, the angrier she got; she opened her mouth and bit Chen Mo's arm.

Chen Mo hissed in pain.

This is indeed a rabbit biting people when it's anxious.

Thinking carefully, he indeed hadn't acted with Liu Yifei for a long time; since "Chinese Paladin 1", they hadn't cooperated again.

"Want to act with me?"

Chen Mo looked at Liu Yifei.

"Want!"

Liu Yifei blinked her eyes.

"Then look at your performance; first call me husband to listen."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow with a wicked smile.

"Pah! Shameless! Who wants to call you husband!"

Liu Yifei was teased by Chen Mo until her little face was flushed red; she just buried herself in Chen Mo's arms and didn't dare to look up at him.

Looking at the shy appearance of the girl, Chen Mo directly locked the office door.

"You say for yourself if you're bad or not."

An hour later, Liu Yifei hammered Chen Mo's chest.

"Men aren't bad, women don't love."

Chen Mo smiled.

"Okay, not teasing you anymore; how about this, after I finish filming 'CJ7', we will film a TV series together, the martial arts drama 'The Return of the Condor Heroes', how about it?"

Straightening his expression, Chen Mo didn't continue to tease Liu Yifei.

The Return of the Condor Heroes?

"Doesn't that mean you have to play Yang Guo, and I have to play Xiaolongnü?"

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Liu Yifei was so excited she almost jumped up from her seat, but just as she prepared to move, she found her waist was very sore.

Mo, this big bad guy!

"That's right, you go and prepare first; when the crew starts filming, I'll call you."

Chen Mo scraped Liu Yifei's nose.

Liu Yifei giggled and hugged Chen Mo's arm with satisfaction.

To film this kind of martial arts drama adapted from a novel, you need to first find the author to buy the copyright, so that it can be adapted into a TV series.

Chen Mo still remembered that what he liked to watch most when he was a child was the martial arts novels written by Jin Yong.

He didn't expect that now he would have the opportunity to adapt his novel, and he was the lead actor.

Chen Mo was still somewhat excited.

"Brother Mo, the matter of going to buy the copyright is left to us to do; you just wait for news in the company."

Xu Xiaofeng looked at Chen Mo who was preparing to set off with them to visit Jin Yong and advised him.

Things like buying copyrights are very common.

Generally, entertainment companies leave it to the people below to arrange.

"It's okay, I'll go personally."

Chen Mo shook his head.

He still wanted to visit the old senior Jin Yong personally.

After all, Jin Yong represents the martial arts dream of men of an era.

When Chen Mo and the others arrived at Jin Yong's residence, the old gentleman had just finished eating and was standing in the courtyard teasing the myna bird he bought.

When he turned his head and suddenly saw Chen Mo, Jin Yong was stunned.

"Good! Has chivalry! Has ruffianism!"

Jin Yong looked at Chen Mo seriously and suddenly spoke to praise him.

"Old gentleman, what are you?"

Chen Mo looked at Jin Yong who was looking around him back and forth with a wry smile.

Being looked at by Jin Yong like this, he was really a bit embarrassed.

"Young man, I discovered that you have a temperament on you, very much like the protagonist who is both righteous and evil that I wrote in my book; do you want to consider starring as the protagonist in my book?"

Jin Yong grabbed Chen Mo and was very excited.

The young chivalrous knight he once fantasized about who was happy in the world on horseback was exactly what Chen Mo looked like!

If he put on ancient costumes and kept long hair, it would be even more like it!

"Mr. Jin Yong, we have come this time specifically to purchase the rights to *The Return of the Condor Heroes* so that Chen Mo can star in it."

Wang Jinghua said with a smile from the side.

Jin Yong's martial arts novels are domestic classics; many entertainment companies have wanted to buy the rights for adaptation. Apart from the early Hong Kong circle, basically no companies in the mainland have managed to acquire them.

Before coming, they had already prepared to throw money at the deal.

They hadn't expected Jin Yong to like Chen Mo so much.

He had taken the initiative to suggest that he wanted Chen Mo to play the protagonist in his martial arts novel.

"*The Return of the Condor Heroes*? Yang Guo? Good! That's great!"

Jin Yong paused, then looked at Chen Mo carefully and thoroughly.

Among all his male leads, Yang Guo is a quintessential figure who is both righteous and evil.

Chen Mo possesses too much of Yang Guo's temperament.

Besides Yang Guo, Jin Yong also felt that Chen Mo was very suitable to play Linghu Chong; he has that kind of carefree, uninhibited spontaneity.

"In that case, Mr. Jin, shall we discuss the terms of our cooperation?"

Chen Mo also spoke up with a smile.

"No problem. As long as you are willing to star in it, you can take the rights."

Jin Yong was very straightforward.

Every martial arts novel he has written is like his own child, and he is very happy to see his works adapted into good television dramas.

……

The Momei Company and Jin Yong signed the contract, officially purchasing the rights to *The Return of the Condor Heroes*.

The production crew for *The Return of the Condor Heroes* began preparations.

A few days later, the news of the collaboration between Momei Company and Jin Yong spread. Aside from the early Hong Kong production of *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, this martial arts novel of Jin Yong's had not been remade for a long time.

Previously, actors like Liu Dehua, Zhang Guorong, and Gu Tianle had all filmed *The Return of the Condor Heroes*.

Every version of Yang Guo left a deep impression.

This time, with Chen Mo playing Yang Guo, it sparked heated discussions among the public.

"Oh my god, Brother Mo is going to play Yang Guo. I'm so looking forward to it."
