Chapter 132, Reasons for Rejection

On the third day.

"What? He wants Erlang Shen? Seriously?"

at this time.

Yu Mingsheng was a little surprised.

The official response from Li Yun.

He plays Erlang Shen.

Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun, the god of justice, three eyes, powerful, Sun Wukong's rival, Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun He subconsciously wanted to say.

Don't think about it.

The person who auditioned was Jiao Junen.

It is Taiwan’s top actor Jiao Junen.

Don't think too much.

“This guy is really brave.”

at this time.

Yu Mingsheng couldn't help but say.

This is too... too crazy.

Generally speaking.

Don't even think about it.

"Howling Sky Dog is trying to take Erlang Shen's place. What's more, what should I say?"

Chief producer Zhang Xingda said with a smile: "It's quite interesting."

"I didn't expect him to be so crazy."

Yu Mingsheng paused and said.

“But it’s not impossible.”

"Wouldn't it be too much of a loss for Jiao Junen to audition with him?"

"In fact, there are indeed people vying for the role of Erlang Shen. Liu Yehong from the Beijing circle is also in contact with this role."

"If it was Jiao Junen five years ago, then all the fighting would be a joke."

Five years ago, when Xiao Li Flying Dagger was first aired, Jiao Junen's popularity reached an unprecedented peak.

For a time, he was the most popular.

Just because of his divorce and retirement, his popularity plummeted. Now that he has made a comeback, his popularity is different from before.

In addition, the reason for his retirement was not right in the industry, which was an absolute huge shock to an actor of his type.

A first-line actor who is half idol and half talented, the idol part has fallen from grace. If he is a pure idol, there is probably no possibility of his comeback.

Secret marriage, childbirth, divorce, and a huge mess.

At that time, no one dared to continue signing him because he had basically stepped on all the risks.

Only now, after time has passed and the memories have faded away, does he think about making a comeback. Fortunately, he has his own strength.

Yu Mingsheng said.

"But Jiao Jun'en is no longer the same as before. Although he still has an absolute advantage over Liu Yehong, he is no longer in a dominant position now."

"So the status gained by just looking good won't last long, it's too fragile." Zhang Xingda pondered, "He is still half-realized."

"yes."

The focus of their discussion gradually shifted from Li Yun to Jiao Junen.

Jiao Junen now.

There is no dominance, but there is relative advantage. At this moment.

Stephen Chow's studio also sent someone to Beijing to personally deliver the script of "Kung Fu" and the official notice.

Among the guests who came to visit Stephen Chow's studio was Jacky Cheung. Last time, Stephen Chow visited Jacky Cheung, and this time, Jacky Cheung also visited Stephen Chow, returning the favor.

Cheng Shilong said.

"I didn't expect you to save Li Yun."

"Yes, if you don't give young people opportunities, I will give them." At this time, Zhou Xingxing smiled slightly.

There is no intention of giving Cheng Shilong any face. Of course.

Only people of their level communicate like this.

It can avoid misunderstanding.

Otherwise, just that sentence would be enough to make Cheng Shilong flip the table and leave.

"Hehe, Mr. Xing has a keen eye for talent."

At this time, Cheng Shilong also responded with a smile.

The two chatted and laughed.

Cheng Shilong also stated the reason why he did not choose Li Yun.

"He was too young and too full of energy, and sometimes he went too far."

"Are you afraid that he will steal your limelight?"

Cheng Shilong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. At his age, how could he be afraid of having his spotlight stolen? Or, how could he be afraid that a new generation actor would steal his spotlight?

"No matter how he acts, how desperately, or how hard he tries in my film, he can never steal the limelight from me. Even if I only have a name and one shot, everyone will only remember me. Even if I only have a cameo, everyone will only know that this is [Invincible's film]."

This is irrefutable for Zhou Xingxing.

after all.

The dragon that accomplishes things.

He is the great star of the Hong Kong era.

"You mean, under your brilliance, sometimes the supporting actor should be more restrained. This will be good for the movie and for himself."

"right"

"You let him audition because you felt you were helping him, but you weren't really going to give him this opportunity because you felt that under your name, all the audience would only see you and not others. You only needed a foil, not the soul of the character." Zhou Xingxing smiled and said, "You are looking for a foil for yourself."

"right."

Cheng Shilong is outspoken.

What I need is a foil.

Rather than the so-called soul of the character.

Of course, Cheng Shilong didn't think that Li Yun could present the so-called soul and make this stereotyped villain come alive. Cheng Shilong only needed an actor who could perform the "effect".

Wu Yanzu can do a good job.

The effect can be shown without wasting space.

"I have a different opinion from you. Minor characters also have their own struggles, and supporting characters also have their own souls. As long as he can really shape and express it, I am happy to give him my space."

"But in the end, the audience is here for you and me. There's no point in giving him space."

"Yeah."

Only at this moment did Cheng Shilong use Li Yun's words to bring out the real purpose of his visit.

"Kung Fu" and "New Police Story".

According to the shooting cycle.

It is almost certain that they will be released in the same cycle.

Both of them smiled at each other at this time.

That's when they fought.

"Okay, we've been discussing the supporting roles for so long, now it's time to talk about us. In the end, the box office, the discussion, and the media will only discuss the two of us. After the movie is released, we will be the focus of all the headlines."

at this time.

Cheng Shilong said with a burning gaze.

“We are the focus. We were the focus of the old era, and we are also the focus of the new era.”

The King of Kung Fu Comedy.

The king of nonsensical comedy.

Two giants in the field of comedy.

In fact, after knowing the project of "Kung Fu".

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Cheng Shilong was very happy.

This time.

It is not just a blessing for the Hong Kong film industry.

It is also Chengshilong's luck.

Finally, I can face off against Master Xing head-on At this time.

Zhang Baichen came to visit Li Yun in person.

Although from his point of view, this approach is a bit like buying a horse's bones for a large sum of money.

After all, Li Yun doesn't seem to be that valuable. However, Wang Jinghua insists that Li Yun, a third-rate actor, may be able to reach the quasi-first-rate position in costume dramas in the future . His performance will be in this costume drama.

Wang Jinghua is optimistic about costume dramas.

It's incredible to say.

When everyone in the industry felt that the costume martial arts drama was at a declining end, and when all the teams specializing in costume dramas seemed to be looking for a way out.

Wang Jinghua actually came to a counter-current conclusion.

That's a costume drama.

It’s certainly not an ancient martial arts drama where men fight each other.

Rather, it is a harem drama about the fighting among concubines in the harem.

When they become the protagonists of the story, they also need men as foils, and they also need princes and brothers.

Just like Princess Huanzhu.

Li Yun's temperament is very suitable.

Very suitable.

Let women be the protagonists.

Let the male protagonists be “male protagonists”.

This is the future that Wang Jinghua sees, a costume market dominated by women.

I want Li Yunlai to be the horse bone.

"Come, come, sit down, and have some tea." At this time, Jiang Chenggang was extremely flattering. Even though he knew that he was here to poach his own pillars, he had to smile along.

There's nothing I can do, they are in Jiahe all day long.

He has absolute status and resources in the industry.

Zhang Baichen didn't look at Jiang Chenggang at this time, but looked directly at Li Yun.

"This Mr. Li is indeed a hero in his youth."

You really know how to describe it.

Heroes emerge from the youth.

Li Yun was even a little bit amused and helpless.

However, from the perspective of the industry, as a Hengpiao artist who suddenly emerged out of nowhere, he was not from a professional background and no one supported him.

Just climb up step by step.

He climbed to the position of a third-rate actor, and even the roles he played were vaguely better than some second-rate ones and more well-known.

As the saying goes, heroes emerge from youth.

It doesn’t seem too much.

"I would like to invite you to join us at Chengtian Jiahe. Here, you can get the best resources and have a better future than staying in a shabby little studio. Although you have good talent, you can't always get it by luck."

Even if Jiang Chenggang was here, Zhang Baichen was frank and said that he had never looked at Jiang Chenggang straight in the eye from the beginning.

There is no future with such a broker.

Jiang Chenggang clenched his palms, but finally let go.

"Then there is no future for me to follow you." At this time, Li Yun said calmly: "It is said that Jiahe has promoted countless people, but people only see the successes and not the failures. The monuments of the winners are built on the bones of the losers."

Since the other party's attitude is so arrogant.

Then Li Yun didn't give face either.

After all, Li Yun has a stake in Shengchang Entertainment.

Even Zhang Baichen knew that Li Yun was his own agent, so he was trying to get Li Yun to give him a thumbs up in a roundabout way.

The conditions provided are excellent enough.

The adult world.

A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in.

"Luck and talent are actually consumables. You are an immersive actor, so your acting range is actually quite narrow. We have the resources and ambition to produce costume dramas. If you feel uncomfortable joining us, then you can understand it as a strong combination."

"I will give you opportunities to display your talents. Here, you won't have to worry about a lack of resources."

Third-tier actor.

Second-line configuration and treatment.

And signed for 20 years.

In other words, even if you fall down to third-rate within 20 years, the company will give you the resources and treatment of second-tier people, and adjust according to the income level in the industry.

The annual salary is 250,000 yuan, not including commission.

The advertising revenue is also quite generous.

Of course, the concepts of stratification and preferential treatment are vague, and there are no specific data.

"I can't think of a reason to refuse."

Reason for rejection? At this time, Li Yun looked at the contract sent by Zhang Baichen.

3 page contract.

20 pages of notes and binding terms.

Isn't that reason enough?

Oh.
