Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jack Cheng was filming the film, and it was filming in Hong Kong, so casting was not difficult at all.  £«And according to Ning Huan¡¯s evil list, it¡¯s not difficult to choose a character.  The male protagonist¡¯s daughter and his daughter¡¯s friend are naturally played by twins. Who plays the hero¡¯s daughter who is saved in the end, and who plays the unlucky friend is just a matter that does not need to be discussed.  If possible, the role of seducing little girls to Southeast Asia and then selling them should be played by Edison Chan.  If possible, Nicholas Tse can play a gangster who is cuckolded by Edison Chen. If Zhang Zhizhi is forced to be forced into the crew by Mr. Xiang, how to arrange her role will also be a difficulty, and it cannot be done in order to recruit someone.  Doesn't the bad taste spoil the rhythm of the whole story?  It is best to estimate that Filipinos will not be cast as the bad guys, and they will have to be played by Chinese. It is not difficult to find a dark, skinny guy with a bit of foreign origin to play the villain in Hong Kong. Anyway, there are Indians, Indonesians, and Filipinos here.  Plenty.  Shen Zhenghui even thought of letting Gao Fei play the gang leader.  Chinese gangsters prey on their own compatriots abroad. This is more in line with the facts. It also reduces the resentment of Southeast Asian countries. Otherwise, after watching this film, these countries will be convinced. They do not have the broad-mindedness of the five permanent members of the United Nations.  Rooster Country was so badly hacked in "Taken", but "Taken" still did well at the box office in Rooster Country. ?? China¡¯s national mentality, well, I don¡¯t know how to evaluate it, but when Chinese socialism becomes Chinese imperialism, a group of people who were once weak in mind may become mentally stronger, and it¡¯s not necessarily true that they feel secretly happy deep in their hearts.  Jack Cheng took the script and went home to show it to his wife.  At this time, after hearing Yang Shoucheng's words, Jack Cheng began to think seriously about this issue.  But this kind of thinking cannot be explained to outsiders, that is, his own agent.  Nor was he willing to show weakness or anxiety about his old age.  So the only person who could discuss this issue with him was his wife.  My sister-in-law is also a top star in the industry. Although she has not returned to her old career for many years, her vision is still there.  The eldest sister-in-law read the script and listened to Jack Cheng's description of the situation. If nothing else, she breathed a sigh of relief.  "What's wrong? What do you think of this script?" "The script is just like that the key is to see your performance." The sister-in-law said in line with her man's temperament.  "That's right!" The eldest brother started to babble again, looking confident, "Of course my movie depends on my performance. This director actually gave me instructions on the action design." "Jack," the sister-in-law said earnestly,  "I think what Lao Yang said is right. You are old after all" "I can still fight!" Brother Cheng was unconvinced.  "If you can fight, how many more years can you fight?" My sister-in-law said, holding her forehead, "Can you still shoot the same as when you were young? Don't be unconvinced." Brother Cheng was a little angry.  But facing this wife, she still tried to suppress her anger, "Are you ready to let me accept the humiliation of that young director like Lao Yang?" "Humiliation?" The sister-in-law smiled, stood up and massaged her husband's shoulders, "What?  Ah, if a cunning person like Lao Yang would let you do such a thing, he would definitely tell you that when you cooperate with the director, you will be the one to support the younger generation. " The eldest brother couldn't help but laugh when his wife told him something.  stand up.  He waved his hand and said, "I am older than his father, so I will definitely help and take care of him." "You are wrong," the sister-in-law said, seeing that her elder brother had already been convinced, and deliberately speaking like this in front of his wife was just to vent his anger.  That's all, so I coaxed him and started talking about business.  "My father is not an ordinary person in mainland China. His family has a big TV drama company in mainland China. His father is also very famous in the industry. His father is three years older than you." "TV series" "  Don't look down on TV series, they might make more money than movies," said the sister-in-law.  The elder brother looked like you were teasing me.  "I'm serious. Spending one or two million to make a movie like in Hong Kong, and then making three to five million at the box office is a huge profit, but it's really not as good as others making TV series!" Jack Cheng was a little dazed, "  How do you think that kind of movie is comparable? " "Hong Kong is full of movies like this now," the sister-in-law continued. "There are only a few big-selling movies every year. Zhou Xingxing finally won it with "Shaolin Soccer"  Who would have given him the award in the past? Hong Kong movies have been in decline. He is the only strong banner, and the judges no longer adhere to their principles. " "He" Brother Cheng thought about the past.  It is a pity that the biweekly 10% discount back then is no longer in the pond of Hong Kong.  "The same goes for "Infernal Affairs",The news media are desperately touting some measures to rescue the market, which means that the market situation is completely broken.  "The sister-in-law pinched the elder brother's shoulder and said, "Your development space is no longer in Hong Kong.  " "Where is that?  Brother Cheng asked casually, and then reflected, "You don't mean the mainland, do you?"  "As a patriotic artist, the eldest brother naturally behaves loyal to the party and patriotism on any occasion, but in private he still has no worries when talking to his wife, "The mainland market is still too small.  " "But the development potential is huge!  "The sister-in-law analyzed, "Especially director Shen Zhenghui, one of his films has a box office of 570 million in mainland China, which shows that this market has huge potential.  " The eldest brother also reacted, "You mean, his father has a lot of connections in mainland China, and he is also a very good director, so should we cooperate with him well?  " "You definitely want it, but you think too highly of yourself, so you don't want to think in this direction.  "My sister-in-law said, "Jack, you are a star born in Hong Kong. Your box office is not bad in Hong Kong and even in Asia, but this market is too small. You want to go to Hollywood, but the risk is too great for Hollywood. You are in  Every movie in Hong Kong can be good and will definitely not lose money, but it is different in Hollywood.  How can you guarantee that every movie will make money?  " " Make money!  "Jakecheng said, "Isn't "Rush Hour 2" a global revenue of 350 million US dollars?  The eldest brother deliberately quarreled with his sister-in-law, "Of course, compared with his $400 million box office, it's still a little behind, but I make no less than him!"  "    "real?  "My sister-in-law asked back. "The distribution rights in Japan are in the hands of Kasuga, which is his parent company.  " "I think it should be the same at least.  "The eldest brother muttered. If the other party was a well-known Hollywood director, he would not have much temper. Even if the other party was also so young, he would not be jealous. But this is a guy of the same species as him, and he is still far away.  He was much younger than him, and his achievements exceeded him and his contemporaries by a long way, which made him a little uneasy when facing this person, especially what the other person said.  Having grown up watching his own movies, this is almost ironic to him. ¡°Think about it for yourself.  Seeing that her husband had figured it out, the sister-in-law was relieved and said, "I made soup. Zu Ming will be back today."  I'll go check out the heat.  " "Is he coming back today?  "The eldest brother was also surprised. "You don't care about your son at all," the sister-in-law said angrily. "You let him enter the entertainment industry and you didn't take good care of him. Look at the people he interacts with every day.  It took a lot of effort for me to call him back. It's rare that you are here too. You are not allowed to run away. You stay at home and have a meal together as a family.  " Faced with his wife's anger, the eldest brother laughed with her. "Okay, okay, let's eat at home.  " He stepped forward and hugged the sister-in-law, "I'll eat you first" The sister-in-law struggled a little bit, "We are an old married couple and still doing this.  " "I'll make it up to you!  "The eldest brother laughed mischievously. "Compensation?  The sister-in-law struggled angrily, "You didn't listen to what I said at all. Who do you think I am?"  " "I know, I know," the eldest brother hurriedly said with his hands and mouth. "I will also deal with the director well for Zu Ming.  " "Then you lead by example and take good care of your son?  " "Next time I will take my son to meet Director Shen!  "The eldest brother promised hurriedly. "Everyone is happy in the house, so that when Zu Ming came home, the atmosphere of the family eating together was a little subtle.  "Now that the eldest brother has figured out this matter, the entire plan will proceed quite smoothly."  Something happened. Paparazzi kept photographing Yongsheng and Yinghuang company's senior executives interacting with each other, and then Shen Zhenghui appeared in Yongsheng and Yinghuang's offices. Rumors began to spread in the circle that the new movie of eldest brother Jack Cheng had officially started.  All kinds of shocking news are constantly being revealed about the casting of Hong Kong's entertainment industry. Young actors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are eagerly hoping that a big shot will suddenly take a fancy to them, no matter what the price they pay for it. In fact, there are indeed many actors.  I'm willing to join the crew for no salary. But isn't it disrespectful? Shen Zhenghui can't do this kind of thing. One person from Yinghuang and Yongsheng will be the producer of the film, and the other will be the producer.  It was left to Shen Zhenghui, but in fact, in terms of the entire casting, Shen Zhenghui was the one who made the final decision. Yinghuang and Yongsheng only provided candidates. Jack Cheng was the producer of Yinghuang, and Yang was the actual operator.  Boss. Boss Yang has signed many handsome young men and beauties over the years, hoping to use movies to raise their values. In this movie, he recommended the most people. The price is the same for external publicity and the actual accounting.  Another price, at least the price quoted to Shen Zhenghui is a conscience price.A large number of actors in this film are just show-offs, especially the female characters, and the twins are basically there for everyone to see.  But Shen Zhenghui was vaccinated in advance, saying that the requirements for the actors in the movie would be very strict, so they should be mentally prepared.  At this time, the two major producers were thinking of trying to get as many people as possible first, and then worry about the rest. Even if they don¡¯t know how to act, wouldn¡¯t there happen to be a big-name director here?  Just in time for a good training.  I recommended Zhang Zhizhi to the family leader, but in the end I saw that none of the actresses had any roles, so I stopped insisting. Instead, I recommended many cheap and capable actors, especially guys who played gangster villains. From temperament to acting skills, they basically  It's a true performance.  For Edison Chen, who specializes in using his face to deceive people, it is enough to act in his true colors, which is not difficult at all for him.  So in this film, the most difficult thing is actually the male protagonist, the role played by Jack Cheng.  He is going to play a role that is completely different from his previous roles.  Juggling and boxing is no longer the focus of this film. From a certain perspective, this is his transformation.  I don¡¯t know if Jack Cheng understands this. Every time Shen Zhenghui talks to him about character and action design, and expresses his requirements and final effects, his attitude seems to be very good.  kind.  This made Shen Zhenghui feel that this gentleman seemed not difficult to get along with.  At another banquet, Jack Cheng finally brought his son over. The father and son laughed freely, but Xiao Cheng seemed a little reserved.  When toasting to Shen Zhenghui at his father's instruction, he called Shen Zhenghui Uncle Shen.  Shen Zhenghui hurriedly said that he could just call him brother, but once he called him uncle, the hierarchy would be completely confused.  Jack Cheng felt that this seemed to be taking advantage of Shen Zhenghui, and finally couldn't help laughing.  Xiao Zuming just entered the industry in 2003.  Filmed a typical popcorn movie like "Qian Ji Huan 2: The Battle of Flower City".  Despite the sluggish box office of Hong Kong movies, this movie's performance was pretty decent.  Anyway, Yang Shoucheng takes the path of packaging his own artists in movies. Unlike companies that specialize in making movies, he takes the route of fans.  But it¡¯s just catching up with this group. If you want to grow bigger in the future, you still have to cooperate with professional companies.  This is also the reason why a large number of domestic films will have his investment in the future.  Jack Cheng is his business weapon, and the interests of the two of them are consistent.  Jack Cheng was very disciplined and did not ask for his son to join the crew. Prince Long was far different from his eldest brother in every aspect. He was a typical second-generation star who had never experienced hardships, but in terms of his tutoring  He seems to be a pretty good person.  It's just that after drinking, I feel a little debauched.  At this time, he showed the same arrogant aura as his father. No wonder he did such a thing in the end.  Shen Zhenghui felt that he and his father were just children who had not grown up, and his mother was really worried.  After several drinking parties to get closer, Jack Cheng discovered that Shen Zhenghui was unusually serious at the wine table.  This stimulated another kind of psychological advantage in him. After all, the chaos in your circle was no longer a legend, but the real side that showed up to everyone who had access to the Internet, so he held back his full strength every time at a cocktail party.  Liao Jin wanted to embarrass Shen Zhenghui and arranged for various female celebrities to have sex with Shen Zhenghui.  It seems like a weakness for a man to be too serious in such a scene.  Fortunately, the others present were relatively sober and knew how to stop the eldest brother and not let him go too far.  But the eldest brother is such a fool. He goes crazy after drinking too much. All kinds of meat and vegetables are served on the wine table, which makes Shen Zhenghui feel that the entertainment industry is simply the source of evil.  His own little shit is hardly worth mentioning.  Fortunately, Mitsumi Fukuda soon helped Shen Zhenghui solve this problem. Todo Kouchi and Ozawa Maya followed Shen Zhenghui to every banquet like his personal bodyguards. The two Japanese women deliberately pretended not to understand Chinese.  Likewise, as long as a female star comes up, she will dare to do something dirty, even if the eldest brother comes up, it will be the same.  Todo Xiangcheng even showed up in front of everyone at the banquet.  He kicked a chair to pieces, which greatly affected the atmosphere at the wine table. In the end, Shen Zhenghui had to come out to smooth things over.  Not long after such embarrassment, Mitsumi Fukuda himself arrived in Hong Kong from Japan and personally came to discuss cooperation with the bosses of Yinghuang and Yongsheng.  Mitsumi Fukuda's personal demeanor has changed greatly over the years. Although it cannot be said to be domineering, at least it is awe-inspiring and inoffensive.  She treated Jack Cheng politely but not cordially, which made Jack Cheng, who had always been popular among Japanese girls, a little disappointed.  At the reception dinner, Mitsumi Fukuda hugged Shen Zhenghui, and her indifferent smile seemed to be enough to explain her attitude.  Shen Zhenghui still didn¡¯t quite understand what Mitsumi Fukuda meant by coming over so anxiously, until a stack of magazines was carried out.  "When did I play double with twins? Party with Zhang Zhizhi at night? Hold an open-air conference with Jack Cheng until dawn?" Shen Zhenghui looked at these newspapers and felt that he had been hacked. No wonder Fukuda Mitsu?Flying over from Japan.  "I just want to relax," Fukuda Mitsumi said, "I hate it when people step on me and get to the top," she curled her lips, "This kind of thing is fake at a glance, but I just can't stand the gossip magazines promoting it like this.  ¡°Isn¡¯t it fake at first sight?¡± ¡°It¡¯s so naive,¡± Fukuda Mitsumi shouted. ¡°In the future, there will be newspapers reporting that Zhou Xingxing and the heroine of "Kung Fu" had sex on the night of the audition!  "To be honest, I didn't believe it at first," Shen Zhenghui said. "I also knew that the big mouth was unreliable, but then I thought that as a man, it's hard to say that this kind of thing would not happen. But after getting to know Zhou  After Xingxing's behavior, I don't think he can go as far as SM. "Look, don't you believe it?" Fukuda Mitsumi spread his hands.  "Huh?" "Can't you see?" Mitsumi Fukuda tilted her head, "Someone is deliberately hacking you!" "Why are you hacking me?" Shen Zhenghui was stunned, "It should be manipulating a female star, right? Maybe it's Yang  The fat man did it. He got his start by doing this kind of thing. He deliberately made this kind of news to attract attention. " "Childish," Fukuda Mitsumi said coldly, "If you think about your identity, you will know why I hacked you!" "  I can¡¯t understand it at all!¡± Shen Zhenghui tilted his head, ¡°I¡¯m just a commercial film director.¡± ¡°Commercial film directors are very powerful when it comes to publicity.¡±  I don't quite understand" "Then you can guess for yourself!" Fukuda Mitsumi said, "By the way, it's worth mentioning that both Aonuma Tomaki and Liu Xin have seen these reports!" "Huh?" Shen Zhenghu immediately asked Fukuda.  The puzzle Mitsumi mentioned was forgotten.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
