Chapter 219, Gu Tianle's complete immersion, how to lose?
Li Yun came to Xiangjiang and came to the audition site of Hey Society.
The audition scene of Hey Society was also bustling.
There were even quite a few fans of Gu Zai waiting outside, and among them there were quite a few middle-aged women who showed a strong sense of fanaticism.
Li Yun suddenly thought of a list previously compiled by the Hong Kong media.
He is the man most wanted to be supported by all the rich women in Hong Kong.
Gu Tianle is number 1 on the list.
Even higher than Wu Yanzu's ranking.
He may not be as handsome as Wu Yanzu.
But a certain temperament is superior. And the Hey Society series of movies is not a simple commercial movie, and it is not on the same track as Kung Fu.
This is a realistic film that is half literary and half commercial. If "Kung Fu" is a top commercial work, then the "Hey Society" series is a masterpiece that is the culmination of literary and commercial works.
Leung Ka Fai, Yan Tat Wah.
These two are Hong Kong's top movie emperors, and in terms of acting skills, they are at the same level as Stephen Chow.
There are actually two movie kings this time. With the blessing of two movie kings, there are also many veteran actors from Hong Kong here.
In terms of acting skills requirements, it is much higher than Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu". After all, he has to act opposite these two veteran movie kings.
Master Stephen Chow is an expert in comedy.
'The King of Comedy'
Tony Leung Ka Fai and Yan Tat Wah are drama-type movie emperors with a wide range of acting skills, even compared to Stephen Chow. They are both true pentagonal warriors.
"Two powerful movie stars. This time, to act with them, I definitely need more than just the strength of a second-tier actor."
at this time.
Li Yun was thinking.
The strength of the second-tier actors can only be said to be just enough to take over their roles.
But if I want to make my role outstanding, just taking on the role is not what I pursue. Absolutely not.
"Tell me, when I'm in the same frame with these two movie kings, how can I look less inferior?"
"This character hasn't even been cast yet, and you're already thinking about not being that bad." Jiang Chenggang was quite speechless.
While chatting on the phone.
Indeed, after seeing the lineup, Jiang Chenggang was shocked. The two confirmed leading actors were actually two veteran movie stars. They were the kings of the last Hong Kong film era, and they are still the kings in this era! If we count the cast of this movie, it is even higher than "Kung Fu".
The requirements are also higher.
Commercial films require heavy investment.
Art films focus on roles.
"Hey Society" is semi-commercial and semi-literary, and has its own ambitions in both commerce and literature.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be two veteran Hong Kong movie stars attracted to join the crew. At their level, they rarely join a crew simply for commercial and financial reasons. At least, the proportion of money will not be higher.
At this time, Li Yun sighed.
"Yes, Gu Tianle is a tough opponent. He is probably the one with the highest ceiling among all the people who have competed with me for roles so far."
“That’s an exaggeration.”
“No exaggeration.”
It can be said that this time's "Hey Society" is the beginning of Gu Tianle's film career.
In the next twenty years, Gu Tianle and Andy Lau almost dominated the entire Hong Kong film industry.
He is the leader that has kept the Hong Kong film industry on the verge of decline but not completely declined.
A person, as the overlord and pillar of a regional film industry.
It all started with 'Jamie'.
You can say that.
Gu Tianle is one of the opponents with the highest ceiling that he has ever encountered.
If I steal his role this time, will it be considered as taking away his luck? Will I feel guilty?
Guilty ass.
No matter what circle you are in.
The law of the jungle is the norm.
It's all human instinct.
"This audition seems like a mere formality. I am very optimistic about Gu Tianle. He has great potential and his past experience is also suitable."
At this time, Liang Jiahui smiled and looked at Ren Dahua next to him.
Ren Dahua did not comment on this.
"Well, I think that the director and screenwriter will give their own answers as to who is better."
Ren Dahua was not worried about any chaos.
Of course, they just talked about the character of Jimmy, and soon they started discussing each other's roles.
After all, the role of Jimmy is not the main direction of their rivalry.
They are more concerned about the other party's performance.
This is the main thought in everyone’s mind at the moment in the “Hey Society” series.
I thought this audition was just a formality.
Gu Tianle is very good.
He has the acting skills of an excellent actor, the popularity of an idol actor, and his appearance during his peak period is well-known, which absolutely fits the past experienced by the character.
The compatibility between actor and role is very important.
Appearance, temperament and experience.
If one has not reached the level of Ren Dahua and Liang Jiahui, then past experiences are an absolutely powerful blessing.
He can determine an actor's acting path to a large extent.
Gu Tianle has a wide range of acting skills, and this role is definitely suitable for him without a doubt.
Most people think it's just a formality.
Even the chief director, Du Qifeng, thought about it again and felt the same way.
How about letting Li Yun try a different role? There might be no play for the role of Jimmy.
For Gu Tianle.
Zhanmi is a character that can be "immersed" When his sense of substitution reaches the extreme, he can immerse himself.
It's better not to covet this role that is "tailor-made" for him.
at this time.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry. I'll be fine this time. Although I've left the gang, I'm still very grateful for your care for me. I'll play the role well, whether it's the dark side of the gang or the nostalgic side of it. I'll be able to play it well."
Gu Tianle was on the phone, and the person on the other end of the line was his former 'big brother'.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He is also the main interviewee in this "Hey Society" series.
For this movie, Du Qifeng and the screenwriter specially visited the former big brothers, the former Hongmen big brothers.
Art film.
Realistic!
Nostalgia.
Now, the times have changed. They have become very different. It is no longer the era of young and dangerous gangsters.
Unlike Gu Tianle, many big guys, who have either made it to the shore or fallen on hard times, actually still miss the days when they were in the underworld.
Although Gu Tianle is no longer in the underworld and does not want to have anything to do with it, after all, the connection between people is not so easy to break.
The same was true for the big brothers in the past.
Their time has passed, and now they can only recall and present the past, both the dark and glorious days, through the medium of film.
At this time, Gu Tianle hung up the phone and murmured.
"Time and the world are really strange things."
He was very grateful to his elder brother for his loyalty and brotherhood. Guzi had experienced those days before. It was because he had such a loyal elder brother that he dared to fight for his life and ended up in jail.
He also hates gangs because his experience with gangs has become his dark history, a stumbling block on the road to his future, and a mark of his immature time in the past.
This complex emotion is not contradictory . This is the world of Jianghu.
Once you enter the world, you have no choice.
At this moment, Du Qifeng was in the audition room with Ye Youhai, preparing to review the next audition.
"In fact, I personally think that Gu Tianle shouldn't have any problems. Why don't we let Li Yun try the plane?"
Although Zhang Jiahui and Liang Jiahui only differ in their names, their actual status is worlds apart.
This may be even greater than the difference between Li Gui and Li Kui.
"I think the role of Airplane in Young and Dangerous is also okay. The character of Airplane is also quite crazy." Ye Youhai paused and said, "Can we let him try the role of Airplane?"
"Forget it. We already promised the role of the airplane to Zhang Jiahui. If we go back on our word now, our credibility will be gone."
At this time, Du Qifeng thought about it and decided to give up. He could only say that this time, he and Li Yun might not have that much fate.
Of course, everything depends on the audition results.
And in the next audition, when Gu Tianle walked in.
The look at that moment.
Let Du Qifeng know.
How much preparation did Gu Tianle make for this role, or in other words, how deep were his feelings and sense of involvement in this role?
That tiny caution.
That feeling of powerlessness.
He really just wanted to be a businessman.
"I used to sell fish at a stall on the west side of the street. I couldn't stand the pressure from the underworld anymore, so I joined the underworld. I really don't want to fight and kill. I just want to make money to support my family. I just want to live a stable life and be a small businessman."
'Jimmy' is dressed in a suit and tie. He is the least social person in the society. He even passed the CPA exam.
As for the identity of the gang, he has always maintained the attitude that they need his protection but will never go deep into it.
But it's obvious.
Once you enter the world, you have no choice.
You chose to join the Hey Gang to seek asylum.
Then you will have to bear the debt of Heybang for the rest of your life.
“I just want to be a small businessman!”
Gu Tianle's voice sounded helpless.
Even the voice has a feeling of shouting. He shouts from the heart, from the deepest part of his heart . This voice even has a feeling of fear. "I don't care who holds the dragon head stick, I don't care who is the big brother, who lets me do business well, who doesn't disturb my life, I will recognize who is the big brother, who is the one holding the dragon head stick. I will not betray the Hongmen, but I don't want to get involved in the power struggle of the people in charge. I just want to be safe and calm."
After performing a series of performances, Gu Tianle also turned and left.
"My past is over."
Not a performance.
It is a presentation of the past.
It is the voice of the past that is present and shouting out here.
To Gu Tianle, Jimmy is a mirror image of himself.
The same person, also forced to join the gang.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Hongmen.
That tangled feeling. (End of this chapter)
