1044, Did you fall in love with him at first sight?!
...
After two days in Hong Kong, Nagayama Naoki was drunk for two days.
It was only after he got up the next day that he truly realized that the so-called drunkenness was actually the memory that only existed after he was drunk. When he woke up this morning, he was only in a daze...
Staring blankly at the scorching sun outside the window, Nagayama Naoki yawned loudly, then washed himself and went downstairs to have brunch tea.
"Naoki-san...." X2
The two people, with pale faces and dark bags under their eyes, also walked over looking weak.
"Masataka-kun, Kijima-kun..."
He still knows his own integrity, at least he will not take a lost girl back to the hotel casually, but the same cannot be said for his two followers...
Nagayama Naoki looked at the two younger brothers, muttered before asking,
"You two didn't bring someone back last night, did you?"
Seeing the awkward expressions on the two people's faces, Naoki Nagayama let out a sigh...
The two still live in the same room...
"Forget it, Kijima-kun..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "Masataka-kun, you are a married person..."
"..."
The two looked at each other, and seeing that Naoki Nagayama had no intention of continuing to blame, they relaxed. After all, this kind of romantic affair will not become a big problem between the neon men~
Masataka Komori asked while drinking milk to supplement his nutrition:
"Naoki-san, there were so many cute girls last night, didn't you ever think about having sex overnight?"
Nagayama Naoki glanced at the two of them and said disdainfully:
"You two lower-body animals! I am a pure, moral person who has escaped from vulgar taste!"
"..."
I always feel like I am being looked down upon by those who stand on the moral high ground!
These days, I don’t know whether I should be lucky or surprised to have an ethical boss...
We didn't dwell on this matter for too long. After having breakfast, the few of them chatted about the next trip.
"There were still some TVB auditions this morning...some of them were delayed until now due to schedule reasons." Naoki Nagayama said, "Then in the afternoon, Jackie Chan, whom I had contacted before, and other Hong Kong people I knew
The big guys in the industry will recommend some acquaintances to give it a try..."
Although most of the people who came to audition this time were artists from TVB or Shaw Brothers Pictures, there are still other companies in Hong Kong, and they will push some people in front of them through twists and turns.
"Tomorrow, you can have a good rest...you can go to Hong Kong's famous attractions..."
Nagayama Naoki explained the next thing to the two followers,
"You two need to bring translator Wu Qiwen, but I can go and play by myself...so we can split up tomorrow..."
In fact, it was Naoki Nagayama who wanted to go to some places and didn’t want two followers to follow him!
As he was talking, he saw Wu Qiwen, a translator, walking over with a frivolous step.
Speaking of which, the translator has really benefited from the glory these past two days. The places he followed Nagayama Naoki to were all high-end places that he could not usually go to. The service attitude and quality were at a level that he could not usually come across. It was really...
God~
"Naoki-san, Komori-san and Kijima-san, good morning!" Wu Qiwen greeted with a smile, "Did you have a good rest last night?"
"Hehehe... very good... very good..."
The few people greeted each other a few words, feeling that their spirits had gradually recovered, and then waited for the car to pick them up in the morning.
After a while, today's audition began.
.......
Audition in progress...
.......
At noon, Naoki Nagayama and the others did not go to drink, but took a car to the California Building.
When I arrived, I saw Chow Yun-fat and two thin and smart-looking people waiting in the restaurant.
"Yongshan Sang..." Fa Ge stood up and introduced him, "This is Mr. Mai Jia and Huang Baiming of Xinyi City..."
Then he introduced to the two of them:
"This is the president of the Neon Tree Friends Group, Naoki Nagayama..."
"Nice to meet you~" "I've admired you for a long time~"
Influenced by Western culture, greetings in Hong Kong only require shaking hands, and Naoki Nagayama felt a lot more relaxed.
After everyone sat down, Majia asked eagerly:
"Nagayama-san, why would you want to buy the distribution rights of "A Better Tomorrow" in Neon?"
You can't blame Mai Jia for being anxious, it's actually that the movie is currently facing a bad situation...
Director John Woo has been depressed at Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. When he first arrived in New Art City, he had no movies to film and urgently needed a movie to open up the situation. At this time, although the leading actor Chow Yun-fat was very famous, the movies he shot were not well-received and were not well-received.
The term "poison at the box office" also urgently needs a movie to prove itself; another leading actor Ti Lung was fired by Shaw Brothers and fell into a mid-life crisis...
Although Leslie Cheung, another actor in the movie, is currently popular, his main job is in the music industry, and filming movies is just the icing on the cake.
It can be said that this movie is a counterattack by a group of people who have hit rock bottom. If this movie is not successful, the future may be bleak.
But now, suddenly there is a Neon fat sheep who wants to buy the distribution rights of the movie in Neon, and the cost is almost covered in one fell swoop!
What's more, this was before the movie was released!
"I heard Mr. Zhou talk about the plot, and I feel that the story is very exciting... As you all know, Shuyou just released a movie "The Legend of Hayato" at the beginning of the year, which is a movie about a gangster...
"
Naoki Nagayama explained,
"I have watched some of Zhou Sheng's movies before, and his interpretation of the movie characters is very good. Overall, I think this movie has a future."
In fact, Naoki Nagayama just recalled Fa Ge's "Across the World" and missed some famous scenes in "A Better Tomorrow" ~
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And in terms of cost, two million Hong Kong dollars, converted into Japanese yen, is only about 10 million yen, which is a small amount of money!
"Of course we have tasted "The Legend of Hayato" directed by Nagayama..." Huang Baiming said, "It is really a masterpiece, in which the violence of the underworld and loyalty are well combined...The plot is also very compact,
People can’t take their eyes away!”
As a big shot in the Hong Kong film industry, he is naturally paying close attention to the neon entertainment industry, which is the most developed entertainment industry in Asia.
"That's an award~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Hong Kong movies are also very good these days, and they have embarked on a very unique path."
"Director Yongshan really praises Hong Kong movies!"
"Haha, there is indeed something worth learning!"
Hong Kong movies of this era are indeed in full bloom, with all kinds of innovations. Unlike later, there were only self-entertaining police and gangster movies~
Either this robber robbed a gold shop, or that bad guy endangered the security of Hong Kong, or a certain police officer went dark and made the police on Hong Kong Island busy every time, and finally blew up several buildings...
Everyone had a sumptuous lunch at a California restaurant and decided on the purchase of the Neon regional distribution rights. The subsequent procedures and signings were naturally handled by the two companies.
"Come... I wish the new movie a big hit!" Naoki Nagayama raised his glass.
“The new movie is a hit!”
"..."
........
In the afternoon, there were auditions for other artists in the Hong Kong film industry. The venue was not at TVB, but a reception room rented at the Peninsula Hotel.
In fact, it is okay to audition in the room. The suite is very big anyway, but Naoki Nagayama still objected...
The paparazzi in the Hong Kong entertainment industry have already noticed this great director from Neon. If the news of the audition in a private suite spreads, it might become news about "in-room auditions" and "male-male confrontation".
He is very clear about the urinal nature of Hong Kong media in this era. He dares to say anything for the sake of traffic and exposure...much bolder than Neon!
Jackie Chan's introduction is naturally all about martial arts, and it's not easy to find someone with good looks and good looks in martial arts.
In the conference room, he met Qian Xiaohao and Lin Guobin introduced by Jackie Chan.
"Elder brother..." Naoki Nagayama looked at the familiar face and laughed, almost saying "Everyone sitting here is happy".
But to be honest, these two young people can be said to be handsome guys at this age. Otherwise, how could Qiu Sheng, played by Qian Xiaohao, be liked by so many female ghosts? And Lin Guobin is 78% like Lai Ming, and later he and Anita Mui
fall in love.....
"Director Nagayama~"X2
"Nice to meet you~"
Nagayama Naoki also stood up to welcome the two of them, and learned a little about their filming experience... But they are just pure newcomers... Ah, Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Master!
"You were introduced by Jackie Chan. Do you know anything about the role you are auditioning for?"
Both of them, who were still very young at this time, shook their heads and said that Jackie Chan told them that if they want to play a handsome role, they need someone with good appearance...
"Hmm... that's about the same..."
Naoki Nagayama didn’t ask too much and handed them a script of the plot.
"In this case, let's prepare a little and improvise the scene above!"
"Okay~"
Seeing the two of them reading very seriously and then starting to prepare for the performance, Naoki Nagayama actually had some preparations in mind, because people with performance skills can get into the mood quickly.
so.....
The result is naturally a rollover....
The required performance was that the male protagonist spent tens of millions to buy jewelry in front of everyone's astonished eyes, but the performance of the two people could be said to be terrible. Among them, Qian Xiaohao had little expression and stiff movements, while Lin Guobin's performance was exaggerated and his expression was artificial.
...
It can only be said that both of them are action actors, and they are too young and do not have much acting skills.
If they are actors under Naoki Nagayama, he can try to teach them from scratch, but both of them are Hong Kong actors and they will not develop in Neon in the future, so that won't work~
"Thank you both for coming to the audition..." Naoki Nagayama maintained a gentle tone, "If there is any progress in the follow-up, I will contact you..."
When they were saying goodbye to the two, they happened to see Leslie Cheung walking over, and with him was a handsome guy...
"Yongshan-san...."
Leslie Cheung greeted the outsiders very quietly, and then introduced,
"This is the Hua Zai I mentioned before..."
Andy Lau is currently being hidden by Shaw Brothers due to the contract signing incident, and the company gave a song originally given to him to Leslie Cheung. This made Leslie Cheung a little sorry, so when Naoki Nagayama was about to choose a role, he immediately thought of it.
Hua Zai introduced me.
"Director Yongshan, nice to meet you~"
"Mr. Liu, nice to meet you~"
After the two met, Nagayama Naoki observed that Hua Tsai is indeed very handsome today, and it can be seen that his clothes are carefully taken care of.
However, I heard that during this period, Andy would not even agree to change his hairstyle in order to maintain his image during filming.
"Come in quickly~"
"Thank you~"
Inviting Andy Lau in, Naoki Nagayama prepared to conduct an audition in the conference room. Of course, he first chatted about his filming experience for a while, and then he was given a script:
"Mr. Liu, please take a look at this script first... and do an improvisational performance!"
Naoki Nagayama gave a male protagonist a decadent experience of getting drunk in a bar when he was finally frustrated and miserable.
According to the requirements of the original plot, the male protagonist was slovenly and had a stubble on his face... but naturally he was not so well-prepared during the improvisational performance, so he could only act casually.
After waiting for a while, he saw Andy walking from the door. His shoulders were slumped, his tie was torn open, and his clothes were hanging down. His whole person gave off a feeling of decadence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sitting at the table in the conference room, using a disposable cup to pour water as wine...
But no matter how you look at it, he looks like a melancholy prince who is forced to express his sorrow for writing new poems. Even at this point, he still exudes handsomeness...
Ah, it turns out that the hair is not messy at all!
"Ka! That's it!" Nagayama Naoki stopped the performance, "Liu Sheng, I already understand your acting skills..."
Hua Zai heard something wrong with the tone:
"Director Yongshan, are there any shortcomings in my performance?"
"The feeling of decadence and loss is shown in the performance, but there's nothing else..." Naoki Nagayama said to Andy, "He's just so handsome!"
"?But isn't the male protagonist a handsome guy?"
"But in this situation, the male protagonist has lost all his money and has to go to jail. He can no longer act cool!"
Naoki Nagayama has no intention of teaching others how to perform, just stop there.
"Liu Sheng, thank you very much for coming to the audition.... If there is any progress, we will contact you...."
"This... is good!"
Andy didn't insist anymore, turned around, opened the door and walked out... As a member of the Five Wireless Tigers in this era, he was still full of arrogance.
Leslie Cheung outside saw Andy coming out. Just by looking at the expression on his face, he knew that the result might not be good this time, so he asked him to go back first, and then walked in to ask about the situation:
"Director Yongshan, how was the audition result?"
"Hua Zai is still an idol, not an actor..." Naoki Nagayama said, "This time the leading actor has very high requirements for acting..."
This is a polite refusal...
"Can I see the content of the performance?" Leslie Cheung wanted to see if the plot of the performance was too difficult.
"It's nothing~"
Nagayama Naoki handed him the paper,
"It's an ordinary scene..."
"really...."
Leslie Cheung saw the plot of the impromptu performance and felt that it was not the kind to make things difficult for others.
At this time, Kijima Xu, who had been silent and just observing silently, said directly:
"If Leslie wanted to perform, how would she express this feeling of decadence and frustration?"
"If it were me~"
Leslie Cheung did not refuse, thought for a while, and started to demonstrate,
"First, your hair should be casual...your eyes should be downward...the clothes on your body should be a little wrinkled...not neatly dressed...the corners of your mouth should be downward..."
I saw that he messed up his originally smooth and neat hair, and then gathered it casually with his hands. He also rubbed the suit on his body, and the collar of the clothes was wrinkled, and the shirt inside was also done in the same way...
Sitting at the table in the conference room, her lips were pursed tightly, but the corners of her mouth were turned downward. Then she looked down, staring blankly at the disposable paper cup in her hand... slowly turning the cup in her hand...
..
Even though his face was still delicate, a feeling of decadence and exhaustion appeared before his eyes.
In this situation, no one would think that the thing in his glass was water and not liquor!
"Such expressiveness, it's really Leslie!" Kijima said with a smile, "If Leslie comes to perform, there will be absolutely no problem!"
"Eh?"
"Naoki-san, what do you think?"
Kijima Xu looked at Nagayama Naoki. He was obviously very satisfied with Leslie Cheung. He should have been very satisfied when he saw him yesterday!
"Forehead...."
"The audition was perfect!" Kijima Kyor said in Japanese, "Naoki-san, height and age are not problems, you can do it with the camera!"
"this....."
After all, the director of this film is one of Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor, and it is obvious that Komori Masataka has begun to expand his network and work hard in the direction of production, and Kijima Kyor is more likely.
But... we can't directly announce the selection of Leslie Cheung at this time! Otherwise, he will bring others to audition, but he won the role... If the news spreads, he will decide whether to become a man!
Naoki Nagayama signaled to Kijima to calm down and said to Leslie Cheung:
"Thank you Leslie for the demonstration just now...Our director Kijima thinks your acting skills are very good and would like to cooperate if there is a chance!"
"Haha, thank you so much!"
Leslie Cheung and Kyū Kijima shook hands and thanked each other,
"There will definitely be a chance in the future!"
"If possible..." Naoki Nagayama said, "Can I also participate in a role in this movie?"
"Of course no problem!"
"Okay... our tree friends are making a movie, and we will only confirm the roles during the official filming. We will invite Leslie to come to Neon when the time comes... Please be sure to come..."
"No problem!" Leslie Cheung smiled, "I have all my schedules available in the past few months~"
He had just finished filming "A Better Tomorrow", and it was considered a break before he reached the age of 20. Even in terms of music, he only had one album.
"Okay~"
.......
After sending the person out, Nagayama Naoki shook his head at Kijima Xu:
"Kijima-kun, you fell in love with him at first sight, right?"
Kijima Xu didn't deny it and nodded: "When I saw him for the first time yesterday, I felt that he looked very similar to Naoki-san!"
"??" Nagayama Naoki said unexpectedly, "Looks a lot like me? Leslie and I have completely different looks... If you ask me, I look more like the Lin Guobin who came before...
"
Lin Guobin looks 70-80% like Liming, and Naoki Nagayama is also the same type. The sunny and handsome guy and the exquisite handsome guy like Leslie Cheung are two different schools!
"It just gives people a very clean and sincere feeling..."
"..."
"So I think if he plays the role, it will give people a very similar feeling..."
"...."
Seeing Nagayama Naoki not speaking, Kijima Xu quickly urged:
"Naoki-san, let's finalize the role quickly!"
"What's the hurry... When choosing a role in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, there are many aspects to consider..."
Naoki Nagayama doesn't want to settle down in Hong Kong. He is still very optimistic about Tony Leung's acting skills...
Besides, I don’t know if there is any relationship between the auditions in the past two days... If I choose one, I will offend the other...
Nowadays, Hong Kong society is running rampant, and a certain boss might hold a gun at him and insist on choosing that person as the protagonist, especially if he is a neon person...
"Wait until you return to Neon before making a decision! Anyway, we have already laid the groundwork~"
"Hi!"
What he just said is that the rules for the role will eventually be determined, and they were just made up on the fly!
