Chapter 099 Who Will Play Huang Rong
Tang Xiaosheng had thought of taking his parents with him to leave their hometown, and the whole family would move to Jinghua City. However, this idea was vetoed by his parents. The two elderly people have lived in Baiyang Village for decades, and the people they know are also in this village. If they suddenly moved to a big city, facing unfamiliar environments and unfamiliar people, they would be very uncomfortable.
Besides, after Tang Xiaosheng returned to Beijing and Hua City this time, he will start filming "The Legend of the Condor Hero" and may need to go to various places for filming, and there is no time to stay at home with his parents.
For the reasons mentioned above, the idea of taking parents to Beijing had to be abandoned.
Learning that Tang Xiaosheng is going back to Jinghua City tomorrow, Tang's father and mother are also reluctant to part with him. After all, it's hard to get together once a year. On the eve of departure, Tang's mother called Tang Xiaosheng, Little Dragon Girl, and Guo Xiang into the house, saying that she had something to entrust them with.
Tang Xiaosheng and the other two arrived at the house, Tang's mother opened the wardrobe, took out a snow-white sweater, walked towards Little Dragon Girl, and said: "Xiao Xue, the weather in Jinghua City is cold, Auntie knitted you a sweater, try it on to see if it fits?" This sweater was knitted by Tang's mother over the past few nights before going to bed.
When Little Dragon Girl heard that Tang's mother had knitted a sweater for herself, she was delighted and surprised. After taking the sweater, under Tang's mother's guidance, she began to try it on.
As the sweater was purely handmade and very thick, Xiaolongnü felt warm all over her body as soon as she put it on, but what warmed her even more than her body was her heart.
Xiao Long Nu is an orphan, without a father or mother, and has almost never truly experienced paternal love or maternal love. Even after she transmigrated into the body of Long Xiaoxue, her father Long Tianhao was always busy with real estate business and didn't care much about her.
Now wearing the white sweater knitted by Tang's mother, Little Dragon Girl suddenly feels warm and has a kind of inexplicable happiness. She slowed down, looked at Tang's mother with a kind face, and said softly: "Thank you, Auntie."
"Silly girl, we're family, what's with the thank you?" After nagging for a few sentences, Tang Mu turned around and walked back to the closet, taking out another sweater. Unlike the snow-white sweater she gave to Little Dragon Girl, this one was pink.
Tang's mother handed a pink sweater to Guo Xiang beside her and said, "Xiang'er, this is woven for you."
"Thank you, Godmother." Guo Xiang said with a pout as she took the sweater. Since Tang Mu adopted her as her goddaughter, she had been calling Tang Mu "Godmother".
Seeing that Little Dragon Maiden and Guo Xiang both have sweaters, Tang Xiaosheng cleared his throat and said to his mother: "Mom, shouldn't it be my turn next? What color is mine?"
Tang's mother glared at him and said with a straight face: "Who says you have a share? You take cold showers every day, what do you need sweaters for?"
Tang Xiaosheng pretended to be unhappy and joked, "Mom, you won't be so biased, will you? Now that you have a daughter-in-law and a goddaughter, you don't care about your own son?"
Tang's mother said, "You'd better not talk back to me. There's something you have to do for me. After Xiang'er returns to Beijing, you must find a middle school for her as soon as possible and let her go back to school. In the future, she still has to take the college entrance exam, got it?"
Guo Yixiang was originally a high school student, and last year she should have been in her second year of high school. However, due to being possessed by Guo Xiang's soul last year, she became mentally ill and dropped out of school. Now that her mental state has returned to normal, logically speaking, she should indeed return to school to continue her studies.
At this time, Tang's mother turned to Guo Xiang and reminded her: "Xiang'er, after returning to the capital city, remember to ask your elder brother to help you contact the school, do you understand? If he doesn't do it, remember to tell your aunt."
"Oh." Guo Xiang nodded.
"Mother, you can rest assured, I will take good care of Xiang'er." Tang Xiaosheng guaranteed.
Tang's mother had been deceived by Tang Xiao Sheng for six years, and she didn't completely trust him. She warned him, "Also, remember to treat Xiao Xue well, don't let her do hard labor, and don't bully her. Otherwise, when you get home, I won't forgive you." After finishing speaking, she turned to Xiao Long Nu and said, "Xiao Xue, if Xiao Sheng dares to bully you, remember to tell Auntie, got it?"
"Oh." Little Dragon Girl slightly hesitated and nodded lightly.
Tang's mother talked a lot, nagging until after 11 pm, and only let them go back to their room to rest when she saw that Guo Xiang had already started yawning. Before leaving, he called Tang Xiaosheng over and took out another brown sweater from the closet, handing it to him.
Tang Xiaosheng smiled and quickly took over the sweater, flattering: "Thank you, mom! I knew I must have one too, hehe."

The next morning, at dawn, Tang Xiaosheng, Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang all got up early because the county town's bus was relatively early, so they had to set off early.
After having breakfast, the three of them set off together with their luggage, and Tang's father and mother saw them off at the village entrance.
Then the three of them took a tractor to the county town, then took a bus at the county station to XX City and bought train tickets for that day's departure to Jinghua City.
On the third day morning, the train arrived at Jinghua City on time. The three of them returned to Jiayuan Community together.
After a whole day of traveling, Longnü and Guo Xiang were also tired and rested at home, while Tang Xiaosheng went alone to Jinghua Film and Television City. Because he received a call from Director Zhang Zhizong, saying that there was something to discuss with him.
After arriving at Film City, Tang Xiaosheng went directly to the temporary conference room of "The Legend of the Condor Hero" crew and found Director Zhang Zhizong.
After meeting, Director Zhang Zhi-zong said straightforwardly: "Xiao Tang, the actress who plays Huang Rong in 'The Legend of the Condor Hero' has not been confirmed yet. I'd like to discuss it with you."
The crew choosing actors is generally decided by the director himself, and Tang Xiaosheng was also surprised to hear that Zhang Zhizong actually wanted to discuss the selection of actors with him. He hesitated for a moment and asked: "Director Zhang, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Zhang Zhizong nodded: "Now the crew has arranged almost everything, but the problem of the heroine has not been settled. The importance of Huang Rong's role in 'The Legend of the Condor Hero' is self-evident, and the choice of the heroine is crucial. Unfortunately, so far, no suitable actress has been found to play the role."
To find a suitable actress to play Huang Rong in the "Legend of the Condor Hero" crew, director Zhang Zhi-zong went to great lengths and almost screened all actresses in the country.
He first thought of the actress Liu Shishi, who is currently popular in mainland China. If she were to play Huang Rong, it would definitely add a lot of color to the drama. Unfortunately, after the Lunar New Year, Liu Shishi will start filming "Step into the Past 2" and has no time slot available.
Later, Zhang Zhi-zong also thought of another popular actress - Yang Mi. Because she had played Guo Xiang before and received many good reviews, if she were to play Huang Rong, there might be unexpected gains. However, Yang Mi is currently busy filming the movie "Tiny Times" and doesn't have any time slots available.
Zhang Zhi-zong thought the third actress who could play Huang Rong was Liu Yifei, she had played many Jin Yong's wuxia TV dramas and all had good performances. However, Liu Yifei now mainly focuses on movies, basically doesn't take on TV drama roles, and her temperament also doesn't quite match with Huang Rong, so in the end it didn't work out.
Apart from Liu Shishi, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, director Zhang Ziyi also considered many well-known mainland actresses, including Sun Li, Tang Yan, Tong Liya, Shu Chang, Yao Di, Wang Luodan, Qi Wei and so on. However, these actresses were unable to participate in the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Hero" due to various reasons.
Actually, Director Zhang Zhi-zong, apart from finding well-known actresses, also specially went to several drama academies to select actors, unfortunately, he never found a satisfactory candidate.
The reason why it's so hard to choose a heroine is that Huang Rong is a special character. The actress who plays Huang Rong not only has to be beautiful, but also has to have a spiritual quality. There are many beautiful actresses, but when it comes to spirituality, it's truly rare, one in a hundred.
Due to this, the selection of the heroine in "The Legend of the Condor Hero" has been delayed for a long time.
Having heard this, Tang Xiaosheng already understood the situation, but still didn't understand why Director Zhang Zhitong wanted to find him. He slowed down and asked: "Director Zhang, do you need my help with something?"
Zhang Zhizong nodded: "Actually, in my heart there is already a very suitable candidate to play Huang Rong, but this person I have no control over, you must personally take action."
Tang Xiaosheng was taken aback, feeling that Zhang Zhizong's words were a bit mysterious, and asked: "Who is the person you're talking about?"
Zhang Zhizong said, "I remember you have a sister named Guo Yixiang? Last time she came to the crew to deliver food for you, I saw her once. This kid, when I first saw her, I completely remembered her. Not only is she beautiful, but also very spiritual and rare."
When he said that, Tang Xiaosheng was taken aback and asked weakly: "Director Zhang, do you want Xiang Er to play Huang Rong?"
