The staff's shouts came. Cui Zhiye lowered his head and glanced at the numbers on his name tag, and immediately shouted: "Still there!"
Then he stood up, stretched his numb legs, clasped his hands together, and quickly walked forward to meet the staff.
"Huh? Your name is Cui Zhiye? Haha, you have the same name as the great god. Have you ever acted in related works before?"
The staff led Cui Zhiye to the audition hall. While looking at the information in his hand, he smiled to himself and said, "Let me remind you, today is Director Liu's personal audition. I think the filming experience written in your information is still good."
Not bad, you have to strive to perform well."
"Which Director Liu?" Cui Zhiye asked subconsciously.
The staff member said enthusiastically: "Liu Weilin."
Cui Zhiye was a little surprised.
Liu Weilin is the co-EO of Tianhao Film Company and a famous director in Hong Kong. Last year, he won the Best Screenplay Award and was nominated for the Best Director Award for the romantic comedy "Black Rose". His reputation in the industry is no less than
Wang Jiachen.
And the other EO of this company is Wang Jiachen.
Tianhao Film Company was originally founded by two people as a joint venture. The company is committed to producing high-quality films with international standards and has a great reputation throughout Asia.
Could it be that Liu Weilin took over "Westward Journey"?
As soon as he thought about this, Cui Zhiye's steps seemed a little impatient.
Unlike the literary film director Wang Jiachen, Liu Weilin is definitely a good director in directing commercial films. His debut film "A Ghost in the Streets" created tens of millions of box office with an investment of only one million that year. In an instant,
It caused a sensation in the industry.
The director's second film still created a box office record of tens of millions with a small cost of one million.
Although he did not win half of the award, Liu Weilin's directorial ability began to gain widespread recognition in the industry.
Since his second film, Liu Weilin has been favored by major investors and started to support him. The director's subsequent works have successively broken Hong Kong box office records, and last year's "Black Rose" directed the box office.
It reached 50.5 million, setting a new box office record again.
Because of the cultural similarities, "Black Rose" can achieve a box office record of 50.5 million in the Hong Kong market. The revenue of "Black Rose" in Macau, Mainland, Taiwan, Malaysia and other places will definitely not be any worse, including Japan and South Korea.
Within the country, this movie alone has increased the revenue of Tianhao Film Company by nearly 100 million.
It can be said that at Tianhao Film Company, Liu Weilin is mainly responsible for making money, while Wang Jiachen is mainly responsible for winning awards. The two of them have a yin and a yang, a positive and a negative, and they coordinate with each other to make Tianhao, who had a difficult start, become a successful actor.
The film company has become one of the largest film production companies in Hong Kong. The legendary story of the two people continues to inspire many young people with dreams.
If Liu Weilin is in charge, and Li Qing's script is written, it will be difficult for "Westward Journey" to become a hit!
At this time, the staff brought Cui Zhiye to the door of the audition hall. Without waiting for Cui Zhiye to react, the staff directly opened the door of the interview hall and motioned Cui Zhiye to go in.
At the end, he frowned and looked at Cui Zhiye's appearance. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly growled at Cui Zhiye: "Why don't you take off your mask? There are also sunglasses and a hat. I mean Xiao Cui,
You're here for an audition, why are you being so mysterious? Do you want to attract the director's attention? It's useless for you to do this."
Cui Zhiye glanced at the other party, but was not angry. He nodded, walked into the interview hall, and began to take off the extra clothes on his body.
Upon seeing this, the staff smiled with satisfaction, turned around and were about to leave, when they heard a sudden commotion in the audition hall behind them.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking that this man named Cui Zhiye had done something wrong. Cold sweat suddenly covered his back. He turned around and was about to run towards the audition hall, but he just left.
After a few steps, his feet stopped uncontrollably.
Not far ahead, the auditioner who had been submissive just now had disappeared, and was replaced by a tall and handsome man. The man's smile was so familiar and scary that he couldn't help but be stunned.
Cui Zhiye?
He turned out to be Choi Zhi Ye!
Seeing several company executives around him, as well as leaders including Director Liu shaking hands and joking with Cui Zhiye, he felt bad.
What is going on? What happened?
Who am I? Where am I? What is my name?
At this moment, the staff member was confused and did not understand why Cui Zhiye had to wait for so long in the lobby on the first floor.
Pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?
But, I didn’t offend him either!
He was racking his brains and had a headache. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and carefully try to figure things out...
On the other side, seeing Cui Zhiye's arrival, the originally quiet audition hall suddenly became agitated.
"Oh, it's Mr. Shino who's here!"
"I asked why I was so excited just now. It turns out that a distinguished guest is here!"
"Why don't you say hello when you come to Huayun? We can pick you up!"
The interviewers at Huayun Film and Television Production Company were all shocked, and then they all forced a smile and quickly stood up from their seats and ran towards the film superstar.
Liu Weilin, who was sitting in the middle of the interview table, also looked surprised at this time.
Liu Weilin is already 40 years old this year. He has worked hard in the Hong Kong film industry for more than ten years and has grown from a dull young man to such a famous person today. How can the hard work he has put in be explained clearly in a few words?
The amount of time he has worked at the bottom level is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Therefore, when he saw Cui Zhiye's dress and the expression of the staff member not far behind Cui Zhiye, he thought about it for a moment and understood the cause and effect of this matter.
Some understanding.
While he was greatly surprised, he also had some predictions about what Cui Zhizhi had in mind.
In fact, like Cui Zhiye, he quietly came to Huayun Company for an interview without notifying anyone.
However, he came openly and openly and did not hide his image.
So many second- and third-tier directors who saw Liu Weilin's arrival and wanted to try their luck immediately gave up on competing for the director's spot in "Westward Journey" and turned around and left in frustration.
Such a move reflects Liu Weilin's strong influence and strength.
After all, not all of Hong Kong may be able to pick out anyone who can compete with Liu Weilin.
And Huayun Film and Television obviously lived up to expectations. When they saw Liu Weilin parachute directly in front of them, they were surprised and didn't even bother to do formalities. They directly regarded Liu Weilin as the guest of honor. Bai Yuling even rushed back from other places.
, the two parties signed a temporary contract on the same day.
As for the specific contract, the two parties will conduct a series of discussions in the future.
Now that we have a director, we naturally need to put more effort into casting.
Liu Weilin came uninvited and sat at the interview table in person. In full view of everyone, he began the actor audition for "Westward Journey" while reading the script of "Westward Journey".
In fact, a few days ago, Liu Weilin learned about Li Qingxin's script through Wang Jiachen's words. As a script writer, Liu Weilin himself has also created many popular works, which are deeply loved by the majority of movie fans.
, and has been nominated for the Best Screenplay Award twice.
He is also very fond of some outstanding screenwriters in the private sector. In recent years, he has promoted many new generation screenwriters and is also the Secretary-General of the Hong Kong Screenwriters Association.
Liu Weilin was curious about Li Qing. The name of Qinglian Sword Immortal was well known to him.
When "Looking for Qin" became a hit in Hong Kong two years ago, he unfortunately became a member of the larger army.
But he is a public figure, so how can he be anxious in the face of this situation?
So all the anxiety during the waiting period was silently borne by him.
Fortunately, the release time of each volume of "Looking for Qin Ji" is not as random as that of other authors. It is released on time, allowing Liu Weilin to see fresh "Looking for Qin Ji" manuscripts every week.
During that time, all Liu Weilin's hobbies were dedicated to "Looking for Qin Ji" until the book "Looking for Qin Ji" was officially completed.
He can also read works written after Qinglian Sword Immortal, such as "The Three-Body Problem" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
However, in comparison, he still prefers post-modern martial arts such as "Looking for Qin". After all, he once revealed in public that he grew up watching the works of martial arts master Mr. Cha Liangyong and has always had a preference for martial arts.
Therefore, when he heard his friend Wang Jiachen talking about Li Qing's movie script, heard that the new script was adapted from "Journey to the West", and heard that Hua Rong lost control after reading the script, Liu Weilin's curiosity was uncontrollable.
suppress.
So when the news came to him that Huayun Film and Television Company was openly recruiting directors, after thinking about it for a while, he was ready to win the filming rights of this movie, and wanted to have a taste of the story of "Westward Journey" first.
But, what's going on with Cui Zhiye?
Is he really here to audition?
All the character stories in "Westward Journey" flashed through Liu Weilin's mind, but he couldn't find a character that fit Cui Zhiye's identity and temperament.
So the moment he saw Cui Zhiye, Liu Weilin knew that this good actor with actor-level abilities was in vain after all.
However, scenes still need to be done.
After the high-ranking officials of Hua Yun praised and flattered Cui Zhiye, Liu Weilin coughed and said with a smile: "Aye is here."
"Hello, brother Weilin!"
Hearing this, Cui Zhiye quickly turned around and greeted enthusiastically: "I didn't expect you to become the director of "Westward Journey", congratulations!"
"Haha, lucky, lucky!"
After Liu Weilin laughed for a while, he invited Cui Zhiye to sit down.
Who knew that Cui Zhiye shook his head and refused, and said: "Director Liu, I'm here for the audition, so I won't waste everyone's time. Let's do business first."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Weilin had no reaction, but the eyes of several senior executives of Huayun Company lit up.
Wancao, what happened today?
Even if a big-name director shows up uninvited, big-name actors also come eagerly to audition?
Several people immediately cheered excitedly and were ready to start testing Cui Zhiye in related aspects.
Just when they were about to take a casual assessment and notify Cui Zhiye that he had passed, Liu Weilin, who had been smiling quietly, suddenly said: "Aye, you are not suitable to participate in this drama."
There was a sudden silence in the audition hall.
The executives were all shocked and speechless, and a smell of gossip spread in everyone's heart.
Damn it, haven’t I heard that Liu Weilin and Cui Zhiye are celebrating the holidays again?
Do these two great gods have a bad relationship in private?
If this is the case, then things will be difficult to handle!
Cui Zhiye smiled and said: "Brother Weilin, it's too early for you to say this. There are so many characters in "Westward Journey", there is no way that none of them are suitable for me, right?"
"You're right, there is really no role that suits you." Liu Weilin shook his head firmly, regardless of the anxious looks on the others' faces.
What he said was not unfounded, but well-founded.
In fact, Liu Weilin felt quite sorry in his heart.
Cui Zhiye came uninvited and kept his airs very low. The salary would definitely be easy to negotiate. Of course, this is the second priority. The most important thing is Cui Zhiye's ability.
Although Cui Zhiye only won the Best Actor Award at the Tokyo Film Festival once, he has since been nominated for many Best Actor Awards at the Golden Horse and Academy Awards, as many as five times.
, was talked about by many people, saying that Cui Zhiye may conflict with the destiny of many film festivals and will not be destined to be the best actor in his life.
But being able to enter and exit the Golden Horse, win five Academy Awards, and be nominated for Best Actor every time, this is of course a demonstration of strength.
It can be said that Cui Zhiye is an actor who definitely has the ability to be a movie star. Having such an actor join the cast is the wealth of "Westward Journey".
But the bad thing is Cui Zhiye's own hardware conditions.
He is so handsome!
Although he is not as defiant as Li Qing, he is definitely a shining presence among the crowd.
According to the character description in "Westward Journey", only Zhizunbao can be called handsome and suave in the entire movie.
Other than that, other people's looks are definitely not up to par.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, it is impossible for Liu Weilin to transfer the role of Supreme Treasure to Cui Zhiye, right? In that case, where will Li Qing be placed?
Cui Zhiye looked at Liu Weilin seriously, and the scene became surprisingly quiet.
And Liu Weilin did not flinch, just looked at Cui Zhiye quietly.
Sparks seemed to be flying in the air, and the senior executives of Huayun Film and Television around them were filled with anxiety.
In the end, Cui Zhiye nodded slowly, with a touch of self-mockery on his face: "Well, maybe I really have no fate with this drama!"
Just as Cui Zhiye turned to leave.
Looking at Cui Zhiye's desolate back, a light suddenly lit up in Liu Weilin's mind, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait!" r
