Chapter 102, Audition Invitation for New Police Story

At this moment, the release date has passed and the Hong Kong media’s unanimous verdict has come out.

The crowned king this time is undoubtedly Infernal Affairs 2, a work that has both box office success and artistic quality. Even if the performances of some characters are not ideal, it is still a very successful work overall.

As for the dark horse, Blind Shaft should not be counted. Its box office is still the lowest among mainstream movies, but it is indeed discussed a lot in the media.

Some people joked that most of the tickets for Blind Shaft were bought by Hong Kong media people, and there were no ordinary audiences buying tickets for this movie.

That's what art films are like.

There is no publicity and it is indeed less attractive to ordinary people. There are no sharp conflicts to stimulate adrenaline, and it is not worth a movie ticket.

Throughout the year, countless art films are released, but most of them are unknown and people are too lazy to even record their works on pirated discs. Winning an award is just a wishful dream for most young art directors.

But this time the blind well is different.

The unanimous high reviews from the media gave Li Yang the confidence to win the award.

This work comes from the mainland.

A good work presented by a third-rate director and three third-rate actors.

Maybe I can win some awards in the end?

"It seems that the second spring of our Hong Kong film industry has also begun to flourish."

"Yes, Brother Long, it's been a long time since I saw the Hong Kong media tabloids so full of vitality, discussing the movie itself as if everything was competing, instead of the messy cheating, gossip, third parties, and exposure and cheating occupying the pages."

"Hahaha, I'm tired of seeing the gossip about this female celebrity, it's the same stuff every day. I'm tired of seeing some of the photos, it seems like they were posted on purpose, which angle can capture the perfect 'white and big' look? And they're all from almost the same angle, I'm afraid others don't know they used the same photographer."

It is not uncommon for female stars to deliberately spread gossip to increase their popularity. This seems to be a way to gain popularity without any investment. After all, "taking off clothes" is not a big deal for some people, and if they can become famous by taking off their clothes, wouldn't they make a lot of money? Cheng Shilong thinks.

For men, it is not without fun to watch it occasionally. After all, those "white and big" ones are not always available for appreciation, especially those of female stars. Since the decline of erotic films, it is difficult to find them. It's just that sometimes when all these news media become like this, the entertainment media gradually becomes boring. News media still have to look like news media, right? Entertainment industry.

We must always return to the work itself. Blindly pursuing gossip is putting the cart before the horse.

"Although I like to read these gossips, it's boring to keep posting them. Now that they are focusing on the movie itself, I am quite relieved. It allows everyone to return to discussing the work instead of messy gossips."

At this time, Cheng Shilong and Chen Musheng were also paying close attention to the Hong Kong film industry.

The new police story they were preparing for has also started project establishment, investment, and preparations have all been completed.

The protagonist is of course him, the successful man.

The second male lead should be Xie Xian's son . As for the first villain,

Cheng Shilong wants to use young people. Hong Kong cannot always have old faces appearing. More opportunities should be given to young people.

The first candidate for this young man is A-Zu, Wu Yanzu, who has a good enough image and a popular base.

The second is Chen Guanxi.

He is also a good candidate and has already been sent an audition notice. Emperor Entertainment has also allowed Chen Guanxi to audition. As for the third candidate, at this moment, Cheng Shilong has his eyes on the poster of "Blind Shaft".

Cheng Shilong has never forgotten the stunning glimpse he got in "Infernal Affairs 1".

"Send him an audition application. I think he could give it a try."

"What's so good about this? Cheng Shilong actually sent an audition notice to Li Yun as well?"

Jiang Ling from Emperor Entertainment was a little stunned. He even called Chen Musheng. After getting a definite and affirmative answer, he became very angry. After hanging up the phone, he started swearing.

If a young actor from a new generation gets involved, wouldn't that lower the quality of our show?

As for A-Zu, he's okay.

But isn't what Li Yun said a bit far-fetched? However, Chen Musheng's answer was just a few words.

Everyone auditions fairly, and whoever is suitable gets the role. It's fair. As for the tone and so on, that's not something director Chen Musheng needs to consider. He is only responsible for picking out good roles and presenting good works.

What he said was actually saying that this choice was decided by Cheng Shilong alone.

"Then take part in the audition." At this time, Chen Guanxi said lightly: "He and I will audition again at the same time to see who is more suitable."

Chen Guanxi's reaction was surprisingly calm. Ever since he watched Blind Well, his attitude towards Li Yun had become somewhat subtly relieved.

Li Yun, a new generation actor from mainland China.

In the past, not to mention his peers in Hong Kong and mainland China, even most of the actors of the previous generation, including Chen Guanxi, were not taken seriously.

Chen Guanxi has such confidence and strength.

At this time, Jiang Ling was puzzled: "Your reaction is calmer than I thought."

"I will never underestimate myself, and I will never underestimate others in the future."

"Don't use tricks this time, Sister Jiang Ling. I want to see if I, as an actor, a pure actor, can win this role honestly."

After attending the premiere of "Blind Well", Li Yun prepared to return to Beijing. At this moment, it was officially time to prepare for the filming of "The World's Number One".

Two weeks of training and script reading are required.

The main content of the training is probably martial arts, as well as some necessary etiquette learning. The main actors, including Gao Yuanyuan, have already started closed training and readings. Only the role of Li Yun was offline halfway through and did not need to go to the reading immediately.

When all these are completed, No. 1 Under Heaven will officially start filming, and the actors still need to be trained before taking up their posts. Of course, Li Yun’s own advantage is probably that he does not need much training in martial arts and etiquette before taking up his post.

It is enough for me to concentrate on copying the character itself.

Go copy him, go copy this character.

"Now you remember me, the eunuch." At this moment, the eunuch looked at Li Yun condescendingly, with a graceful and elegant expression, and one would think that she was a noble in the harem.

Look how perfectly this little orchid finger is pinched.

From every gesture, one can see the seductive look of Eunuch Cao.

"It seems that I still need to learn more from you about being sissy." Li Yun looked serious, indicating that he still had a lot to learn.

"you"

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

"I'm serious, when it comes to being a sissy, you're second to none. You're just too good." At this moment, some crazy thoughts suddenly flashed through Li Yun's mind. In order to perfectly play this role, do I need to cut off the source of my happiness?

If I cut it off, I will definitely be able to play this role well, I can play it better! I can get into the role of the eunuch more!

“How can I cut it off?”

At this moment, Li Yun was amused by his own thoughts.

Cut off your thing for acting?

I'm not crazy.

At this moment, the eunuch in front of him was still the head of the East Factory.

He is not Cao Zhengchun yet.

He is not complete yet.

But don't be in a hurry. The closer you get to the start of filming, the calmer you need to be to find every feeling of the character, to copy your character completely, to get to know this character and everything about him.

At this time, when Li Yun returned to the capital.

Jiang Chenggang brought Li Yun an audition notice for a film called New Police Story by Benny Chan, starring and written by Cheng Shilong.

Li Yun agreed to the audition immediately, or he had no reason to refuse this project. He played Villain No. 1, and his opponents were A Zu and Chen Guanxi, two new generation handsome guys in the Hong Kong circle, who were definitely at the peak of their appearance.

The name Li Yun appears here, and it really seems like he is just a runner-up.

Of course, Jiang Chenggang also felt that he was just a runner-up, after all, there was an insurmountable gap in status.

But Lao Jiang was still very happy. After all, being able to receive such an audition itself represented an increase in his status and value. Whether he could actually get the role was not that important.

"You are really a hot topic in Hong Kong. Do you know how shocked I was when I first heard the news? The little red float that followed me is now comparable to a hotshot like Chen Guanxi." At this moment, Jiang Chenggang said with some emotion: "Sometimes I wonder if it is a waste for me to be your agent."

Jiang Chenggang was not unaware of what was happening in Hong Kong. From Infernal Affairs to Blind Shaft, all of them were named after Li Yun, from Liu Jianming to Yuan Fengming.

"How could that be? Lao Jiang, you are my important partner."

If you look at it from a career perspective, it is indeed a waste.

But Li Yun has his own ideas.

If he joined an ordinary agency, he would definitely not be able to take on many roles. He would probably just play a certain type of role, which is not what Li Yun wants.

Li Yun not only wants to be a multi-faceted actor.

I also need to cure my minor mental problems at the same time.

To do this, you need more different types of roles for yourself to play and explore.

The agency was unable to meet my requirements.

But if it is a team that you control, then it is possible.

Absolutely.

"Li Zi, you are also my lifelong good partner." Jiang Chenggang was very grateful to Li Yun: "Keep working hard and do a good job."

Now Jiang Chenggang feels full of motivation.

"Hehe, come on, I'm also going to report to the world's best crew."
