Chapter 556 The heroine
At this time, the waiter came over.
Lu Dongjie was hungry now and was not in a hurry to talk. He ordered milk tea and some snacks and cakes for Zhong Chuhong first.
He changed to a comfortable sitting position and said jokingly: "He Sheng personally brought two great directors to the meeting today. It's not to make a big show."
He Guanchang said straight to the point: "Mi Gao is going to open a new play, and one of the heroines, Miss Zhong, is very suitable."
Xu Guanwen pretended to cough, "I think Miss Zhong's innocent and lovely image is very suitable for the female character in my drama."
Listening to his praise, Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but smile sweetly on her face, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
She filmed two commercials, and then acted in a TV series, and finally began to slowly become popular.
Lu Dongjie had a calm expression on his face and asked with a smile: "Isn't Mi Gao going to open up the Taiwan market and want to find a Taiwanese actress?"
Xu Guanwen adjusted his glasses and smiled, "It's just a promotion. There is a suitable one, so why bother looking for something far away?"
He Guanchang explained: "Michael's new film will still focus on the Hong Kong market, and the Taiwan market will not be considered for the time being."
Lu Dongjie smiled and stopped asking further questions.
Golden Harvest Company has always wanted to explore the Taiwanese film market, which can be seen from the few films it has produced in the past two years.
The movies they produce, whether they are martial arts films or comedies, cannot pass censorship and be released in theaters in Taiwan.
Because Taiwan is still under martial law, in addition to censoring news and speech, it is also strict on foreign publishing of literary, film and television works.
Even if Shaw Brothers pleases the Information Bureau so much, it still cannot escape this law and will also be manipulated.
Now Li Hanxiang's "Dream of Red Mansions" has also been censored and has still not been approved for release.
However, with the same theme, "A Dream of Red Mansions" filmed by the Jin Han couple was able to be released in Taiwan theaters without any hindrance.
The style of the movie produced by Xu is full of stealing, kidnapping and deception. It is surprising that such a value-oriented movie can pass the censorship.
Jiahe Company also knew that this kind of movie would not work, so it could only take the route of literary and artistic films first, like Tu Tu Xu.
So we invited Taiwanese director Song Cuntao to create a tragic film "Qiuxia", which is so literary that it couldn't be more literary.
With the active operation of Jiahe Company and the instruction of the Taiwan Information Bureau, Chen Qiuxia won the 14th Golden Horse Award for Best Actress as a newcomer.
The success of "Qiu Xia" allowed Jiahe Company to see a feasible way and determined to enter the Taiwan market.
They will continue to use the original cast including Song Cuntao, Zhong Zhentao, Chen Qiuxia, etc., and will also add Taiwanese literary and artistic actress Hu Yinmeng to create the second literary and artistic romance film "The Second Rainbow".
Golden Harvest is using literary films as a pioneer in an attempt to gain a foothold in the Taiwan market. This approach cannot be hidden from anyone.
But this is doomed. Before martial law is lifted in Taiwan, Xu's style movies will not be released in Taiwanese theaters.
Lu Dongjie was noncommittal and took a sip of coffee first, "Can you show me the script of the character?"
Xu Guanwen took out a script and handed it over, "There are still imperfections in the script. There may be changes on the spot."
Lu Dongjie took it and took a look at it, which said "Deed of Sale", and he probably knew what was going on.
He read through it slowly.
Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but be curious, and regardless of her manners, she leaned over and looked closely at what was written on it.
As soon as she debuted in a TV series, she became the heroine. This joy of becoming famous quickly gave her a little vanity.
This time she heard that she was the heroine of a movie, and it was also a new movie directed by Jiahe Company and Xu Guanwen, which made her heart beat faster.
Fortunately, she has a boyfriend to check things out for her and even help her make decisions. She likes this feeling of dependence.
Wu Yusen looked at the two people opposite him from the side. Although his face was calm, he was also a little curious in his heart.
He did not deny that the Zhong Chuhong in front of him was good-looking and had become somewhat famous in the entertainment industry.
But it stands to reason that there is no shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry.
If people in the film industry heard that Xu Guanwen was going to cast a heroine in a new film, I wonder how many female stars would come to audition in search of connections.
But for some reason, Jiahe Company found Jiayi TV's Lu Dongjie, and even took the initiative to seek cooperation.
Wu Yusen was confused and Xu Guanwen was also depressed.
He had already found a good candidate, but in the end it was Boss Zou himself who made the final decision on the heroine of the play.
Boss Zou always trusted his work and would not interfere with his selection of actors. This time he interfered for some unknown reason.
Regarding their doubts, Lu Dongjie had some guesses as to why.
He has received news that the situation of Jiashi TV will change and Jiahe Company will become one of the new shareholders.
Boss Zou thought of using this excuse this time to invite Zhong Chuhong to be the heroine. Of course, he also wanted to show his goodwill to him.
After all, among the many shareholders and board members, Lu Dongjie has the deepest connection with the entertainment industry. Maybe the two of them will form a temporary alliance of interests.
Lu Dongjie closed the script and said with a smile: "Ah Hong has just entered the industry. She can barely make TV series and has no experience in acting in movies."
Zhong Chuhong's beautiful eyes quietly rolled her eyes at him.
Wu Yusen interjected, "The little girl Ding has never acted in the movie I'm filming now. It's okay to learn and act at the same time."
Lu Dongjie responded with a smile: "Director Wu, if every director has such a good attitude like yours, then the boss of the film company will be at a loss."
He Guanchang smiled and said nothing.
In the film industry, Xu Guanwen and Wu Yusen are partners and have attracted much attention from producers.
For the several blockbuster movies made by Xu Guanwen that broke box office records, Wu Yusen was recruited to assist him, and he was the hero behind the scenes.
But now Wu Yusen is able to take the lead and take charge of his own job.
With his film "Fa Qian Han", the box office exceeded 5 million, becoming Golden Harvest's flagship film this year.
This newly minted 5-million-dollar director has become a director highly favored by Golden Harvest Company and has made his own name.
Golden Harvest Company is interested in letting him direct Kwan Tak-hing's "Once Upon a Time" and Qiao Hong's "The Big Bad and the Little Sister".
Lu Dongjie just said casually that he believed that Zhong Chuhong would have no problem playing the female role in this drama.
Because in the movies of the Hui brothers, there is no such thing as a heroine, and the actresses are basically beautiful characters.
Such as Lu Youhui in "The Legend of Two Stars", Ai Qilian in "The Genius and the Idiot", and Zhao Yazhi in "The Two Stars".
