Chapter 676 The Price of Sister Run(1/3)
Chapter 676 Sister Run’s Price
For some movies, the filming process is painful.
For some movies, the shooting process is secretly exciting.
This is related to the plot content of the movie.
Just like many young actors who have the soul of a middle-aged actor, they feel particularly happy when they film a middle-aged plot.
Senior Brother Six could not resist the temptation to spend one billion in a month.
What kind of awesome movie is this?
Immediately, immediately, now... let me take pictures and spend money!
At this moment, he has not yet realized how much he has to sacrifice in this film.
He just felt very excited just thinking about it.
The preliminary preparation work for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is actually very simple.
Because there are many actors who are in the same vein as "Charlotte".
On the Huajiaqun side, they encountered a slight setback.
Li Wen, the male protagonist of "Wushuang", will star in it himself.
The heroine Ruan Wen has also been finalized. The actress is called Zeng Lili. She is a Hong Kong sister and has a very good temperament and figure.
On Earth, Ruan Wen is played by Zhang Jingchu.
Perhaps the most profound impression many viewers have on her is her performance in "The Disciple".
This Zeng Lili is quite close to Zhang Jingchu in terms of image and temperament.
However, when it comes to hiring people, Luo Mo doesn't like those who have too much dark history and too many rosy news.
In this regard, Zeng Lili is quite good.
Now, among the protagonists, the only one who has not been finalized is the role of [painter] Li Fusheng.
This actor must suppress the Hua family in all aspects such as aura and other aspects.
After Hua Jiaqun read the script, a person immediately popped into his mind.
This actor, named Xu Gangsheng, is considered the number one legend in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Today, he is 58 years old and in a semi-retired state.
In his early years, Xu Gangsheng's acting career was quite bumpy.
It's not that his acting skills are bad or his image is bad, but it's because many actors find it difficult to play with him.
He is too tall.
In an era when most male actors were only over 1.7 meters tall, or even over 1.6 meters tall, his height of 180+ meters was a bit too prominent.
We were filming a scene with a rival, and in the camera lens, everyone was at war with each other.
Outside the camera, Xu Gangsheng is doing the splits.
He had to spread his legs, lower his height, and have sex with the actor opposite him.
However, not all situations can be solved in this way. Sometimes, you always have to be in the mirror, right?
And in Hong Kong, if you play the male lead as soon as you debut, you are definitely lucky. In that era, most people climbed up the ladder little by little.
A supporting actor like Xu Gangsheng will definitely not be liked by the leading actor.
It wasn't until a TV series needed such a tall, handsome, and powerful actor that he became an instant hit.
That year, Xu Gangsheng became famous all over Hong Kong with this drama.
To be precise, it is popular all over Asia.
It’s not only popular on Hong Kong Island, but also on the Mainland and Taiwan. It’s also extremely popular in Japan and South Korea.
At that time, there was no Korean Wave invasion, and the Hong Kong Wave swept across Asia.
After Xu Gangsheng seized this opportunity, he starred in a hit TV series and then plunged into the film industry.
He was relatively lucky and found the right path, so he was not like Fa Ge on Earth, who once became a "box office poison".
You know, Fa Ge, who played [painter] Li Fusheng on Earth, was a hit at the box office in his early years. When many investors heard the words Chow Yun-fat, they avoided him and refused to invest money.
It wasn't until he and Leslie Cheung and others made the movie "A Better Tomorrow" that he completely turned around and won the Academy Award for Best Actor, which was also his first Academy Award for Best Actor.
And Blue Star's Xu Gangsheng not only has a smoother career in the film industry than Fa Ge, he is also the actor on Blue Star Hong Kong who has won the most Best Actors.
In the hearts of the Huajiaqun, he is the best candidate for [painter] Li Fusheng, or in other words, the only candidate!
He would feel regretful if he found anyone else to play the role, and he would definitely not be able to achieve the effect that Xu Gangsheng can produce.
After all, if Xu Gangsheng were to play the role, the sense of oppression he would feel as soon as he appeared on the stage would be invincible. As the leader of a criminal gang, he couldn't be more suitable.
It's a pity that Xu Gangsheng announced his retirement four years ago.
It is not easy for him to come back to acting.
Even though Hua Jiaqun had a good personal relationship with him, the first time he contacted him, he was rejected outright.
Xu Gangsheng didn't ask about the specific details of this project at all. He just said that he really didn't film anymore, and it would be the same no matter who invited him.
Huajiaqun also knows that it is not easy to invite him out, but if he is invited to go fishing in the sea, he will most likely come.
In the past few years, everyone has not seen Xu Gangsheng's active figure on the big screen.
On the contrary, many people can meet him by chance when they go fishing in the sea.
As soon as he heard about sea fishing, Xu Gangsheng happily went to the appointment.
But the two of them had an agreement first, and Hua Jiaqun could not bring up the matter of inviting him to make a movie again.
Huajiaqun agreed immediately, and then took his wife Liang Xinyi with him on the day of sea fishing.
——I shut up and let my wife speak.jpg.
After all, I am me and my wife is my wife.
Although they are husband and wife, they are also independent individuals and must respect human rights.
The entire sea fishing process can be said to have a particularly good atmosphere.
Huajiaqun himself is also good at sea fishing, even better than Xu Gangsheng.
Xu Gangsheng belongs to the type who is both good and fun-loving.
During the chat, I, as the president of the [Hong Kong Island Film Workers Association], wanted to talk about the current embarrassing situation of Hong Kong films. Isn’t it too much?
Xu Gangsheng also expressed sadness about this.
As a veteran, he still hopes that Hong Kong movies can develop better and better.
In the process, he also talked about the development of mainland movies.
Not only has it come from behind, but it has also developed really well in the past few years.
Like the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Xu Gangsheng said that he was shocked after watching it.
This is one of the best mainland movies he has seen in recent years, bar none.
Hua Jiaqun immediately followed: "Then if Luo Mo invites you to come out with the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", will you act in it?"
"That's a bit exciting." Xu Gangsheng said.
At this moment, he didn't know that Hua Jiaqun's script was written by Luo Mo.
Finally, he asked Hua Jiaqun what he planned to make in his next film.
"The crime theme is called "Wu Shuang". The counterfeiters have to be basically recreated in the movie. My team is now close to making U.S. dollars that can be fake and real." Huajiaqun said.
This team is really talented, it would be a shame not to go to jail.
Xu Gangsheng was shocked when he heard this.
"It took a lot of effort for you to get the permit, right?" he said.
"Forget it, right?" Hua Jiaqun's answer was not very sure.
It was a piece of cake for Luo Mo to get the photo certificate right.
But it is not easy to cooperate with Luo Mo.
I have to say that because the theme of "Wushuang" is full of gimmicks, Xu Gangsheng is also more curious.
Hua Jiaqun was telling him the content of the story, and he was listening patiently.
After hearing it, he thought the name "Wushuang" was very interesting.
His personal understanding is this:
The first meaning is, of course, that the [painter's] technique is unparalleled in the world.
The second meaning is that one of the protagonists plays two roles, but in fact one of them is fictional. There are not two people at all, there is only one, so it is - Wushuang!
