Later, Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Guorong signed contracts for two films, "A Better Tomorrow" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".
The contract specifies details such as remuneration, shooting time, etc.
"Director Zhang, do you want me to play the role of Xiao Ma Ge?" After Zhang Guorong and others left, Cheng Huimin looked up after reading the script of "A Better Tomorrow", his eyes flashing with excitement.
The Xiao Ma Ge in this script is a character with affection, ambition and righteousness, which is very different from the image of the gangster boss he has portrayed in the past.
It feels like this role was tailor-made for him.
"Yes, Brother Min, I think only you can handle this role and give Xiao Ma Ge a unique charm." Zhang Qiurui nodded.
Cheng Huimin is a big boss of the gray forces in Hong Kong who values love and loyalty, which coincides with the role of Xiao Ma Ge, so he just needs to play himself.
If you want to pursue something, it is to dig deeper into the character, so that the audience can see not only a hot-blooded gangster, but a big brother with flesh and blood, rich emotions, and three-dimensional and multi-faceted.
"Director Zhang, don't worry, I will do my best to bring this role to life." Cheng Huimin also admires Zhang Qiurui. Not only were all three films she shot shortlisted for the main competition unit, but she also won major awards. Most importantly, according to the mainland's age, she is still a minor.
It is truly amazing that he has achieved such success before he even reached adulthood.
Although "A Better Tomorrow" is not an award-winning film, in terms of box office and certain aspects, the quality of this film is much better than the other three award-winning films.
"Min Ge's film 'The Tuner' has been shortlisted for the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival. As the leading actor, you also have a chance to win the Cannes Best Actor award.
This time, the salary for "A Better Tomorrow" cannot be paid according to the salary for "The Piano Tuner".
How about a salary of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars? " Zhang Qiurui looked at Cheng Huimin with a smile, waiting for his answer.
When filming "The Piano Tuner", Zhang Qiurui paid Cheng Huimin a salary of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. This time, "The Piano Tuner" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival. As the leading actor, it is undoubtedly a huge plus for Cheng Huimin, allowing his acting career to reach a new level.
"Okay, I'll act in any role.
"Next time Director Zhang has such a good movie script, just ask me to act in it." Cheng Huimin said with a hearty smile.
"That's no problem."
........。
Somewhere in Jiahe.
"Big Brother, I've just been notified by Hai Kuo Tian Kong Films that I'll be starring in 'Mr. Vampire' in seven days, and there are three other movies waiting for me to start filming.
You here..., how about I turn down the movie with Hai Kuo Tian Kong?" Lin Zhengyin played Uncle Jiu in "Mr. Vampire". After the movie was released, it became a huge hit. Not only did major film companies start making movies of this type, but Hong Jingbao also prepared a movie called "Ghosts" and planned to cast Lin Zhengyin in it.
However, the release dates of "Mr. Vampire" and "Ghost in the Shell" happened to clash with each other, which put Lin Zhengyin in a dilemma.
The former is a movie that made his own company famous, and he also signed several movie contracts with Haikuotiankong Films. The latter is a movie directed and acted by his good friend and brother, which is of great significance to him and Big Brother.
"No, not to mention that it was Haikuotiankong Films that made you famous, you have signed contracts with Haikuotiankong Films for several movies, and the contract also clearly states that if there is a conflict in schedule, you must give priority to filming Haikuotiankong Films' movies, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract.
Regarding the scheduling issue, I will talk to Hai Kuo Tian Kong Films to see if we can film your scenes together.
Besides, this script is written by Director Zhang, so the quality is guaranteed, which is crucial for your future development.
You have to understand that on an actor's journey, credibility and the quality of their work are two indispensable cornerstones.
Turning down "Mr. Vampire" will not only give you a reputation in the industry as a person who doesn't keep his promises, but you may also miss out on a valuable opportunity to work with a top-notch team.
We have been indebted to Director Zhang several times, and I would never do such a thing as poaching people.
Most importantly, the 33rd Cannes Film Festival announced the films selected for the main competition unit, and Director Zhang's "The Piano Tuner" was among them.
With talented and capable directors like Director Zhang, and the company having so many directors who can make movies, as long as there are scripts, their company can continue to produce high-quality works.
By collaborating with them, you are undoubtedly paving a broader path for your acting career.
Besides, you are now popular with "Mr. Vampire". If you don't have any subsequent works to follow up, it may be a flash in the pan. You are in the rising period of your career, and every choice and decision is crucial.
We have to consider the long-term and not let momentary emotional impulses affect future development.
You can focus on preparing for the filming of "Mr. Vampire". I will communicate with both parties as soon as possible and try to find the most appropriate solution.
Remember, no matter what decision you make, you must be true to your conscience and professional ethics. Only in this way can you go further and more steadily in this industry. "Hong Jingbao's heartfelt words gradually dispelled Lin Zhengyin's inner entanglement.
"How much did you get paid for filming 'Mr. Vampire'? Did the other party tell us?" Hong Jingbao asked.
"Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars." When talking about this, Lin Zhengyin became a little excited.
When he was filming "Mr. Vampire", he was only paid 5,000 Hong Kong dollars for the leading role and the martial arts instructor. After the movie became a hit, his salary increased tenfold.
