After Chen Hui returned to China, many people immediately got the news that Best Actor Chen was going to act again.
A person like Chen Hui will never be short of movies as long as he is willing to do so. However, he is very picky about scripts and has to think and consider repeatedly before deciding what movie to act in.
This way, although there is no guarantee that every one of his films will be a classic, at least there will be no such big bad films.
Movie stars still need to take care of their feathers at all times.
Therefore, Chen Hui and Liu Jiayu have been busy recently, selecting a bunch of various scripts together.
There are commercial films, literary films, comedies and tragedies, feature films and special effects blockbusters...
However, Chen Hui and Liu Jiayu are very patient. They would rather spend more time choosing a script than choose a bad drama or miss a really good drama due to negligence.
After several days of busy work, the two of them still haven't found a suitable script, but they are not too anxious. After all, there are dozens of scripts lying in their work mailboxes, and there might be a suitable script in there.
Yes.
Of course, there are other books recommended by human relationships. It is not easy to evade these, so I will try my best to review them first. However, if Chen Hui does not want to act, he will still sit in the back row. After all, at present, Chen Hui still wants to find someone.
The role that I really want to play.
"Hey, it's the script recommended by Director Zheng."
Sure enough, Liu Jiayu found an email from an acquaintance.
Zheng Yugang and Chen Hui have a very good relationship, they are old friends, and Zheng Yugang is also very aware of Chen Hui's condition, so the books he recommends are generally more reliable.
However, after Liu Jiayu browsed it for a while, he was a little unsure about paying attention.
Because the book Zheng Yugang recommended...is it a police movie?
Or should I say...an undercover film?
After all, there are two protagonists with distinct personalities in the script, and their identities are both fishy. This kind of work that tests the acting skills of actors... should be a bit difficult to perform.
However, the story in this script is so wonderfully written. Although there are no intense action scenes, every character stands up and has multiple sides. Once this kind of drama can be performed well, it will be rare.
's masterpiece.
Gritting her teeth, Liu Jiayu handed the book titled "Infernal Affairs" to Chen Hui.
In fact... if it weren't for Zheng Yugang's sake, I'm afraid Liu Jiayu would have passed this book directly. After all, she didn't want Chen Hui to take on such a heavy subject matter. Moreover, there is only one script in this book now.
Even the other actors and other things have not been planned yet, and it doesn't seem very reliable.
Even if the author of this book is Mai Zizhao, a fairly well-known screenwriter, at the level of Chen Hui and Liu Jiayu, they have the freedom to reject it no matter who writes it.
Liu Jiayu finally handed the notebook to Chen Hui, still looking at Zheng Yugang's face.
This has to be admired by Chen Feng. Chen Hui was one of the leading actors he had chosen early on. However, he was not very familiar with Chen Hui and did not know Chen Hui's character very well. He was not confident enough to let Chen Hui
As soon as he saw his script, he was willing to star in it, so he used the safest method and directly asked Zheng Yugang to hand him the script.
Zheng Yugang was still willing to help with this. After all, it was just a casual thing. Moreover, Chen Hui had rested for such a long time, so he really should be acting and doing some activities, and Chen Feng's script was a good choice.
Although Zheng Yugang didn't know much about this kind of undercover police and gangster film, he could tell from his years of experience that this was indeed a good script, so he simply sent the script to Chen Hui.
As for whether Chen Hui would be interested in this book, I don't know, and it has nothing to do with him. After all, he has done everything right. No matter what the result is, the favor has been left.
…
Chen Hui read the script of "Infernal Affairs" in one sitting.
After reading it, his mind went blank for a while.
At first, he had a general feeling about this script. After all, this drama had more dramas. There were no fierce gun battles like in previous police and gangster movies, nor exciting fights like in action movies, nor any big scenes... Such a
Although it is not difficult for Chen Hui to make a film that is almost entirely supported by literary drama, it is easy for him to fail.
After all, the success of a movie is not determined by just one actor. No matter how good Chen Hui's performance is, if other aspects are not good, the final film may be a failure.
But Chen Hui was deeply attracted by the story in the script.
I have to say that this is indeed a good story, especially the confrontation between the two protagonists. Although there is a lot of drama, it is no less exciting than those action and special effects blockbusters!
This is the charm of drama films.
Therefore, Chen Hui was a little hesitant now, and he was not sure about paying attention for a while.
"Let's go and eat first. I want to eat Western food tonight..." Chen Hui suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Jiayu.
Liu Jiayu naturally agreed, and the two of them packed up and went out directly.
Eat, walk, wash, rest...
At night, Chen Hui suddenly had a dream in a daze.
Some familiar lines kept flashing back in his dreams.
"It was agreed upon for three years, and three years later, another three years, and three years later, another three years. It's almost ten years, boss!"
"Actually, there is something I want to ask you, but I feel a little embarrassed. What do you think of me? That is, do you think I am a good person or a bad person?"
"Let me tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone else. In fact, I am a policeman."
"I'm sorry...I'm the police!"
Bang……
Finally, there was a gunshot, and Chen Hui suddenly opened his eyes in the dark night.
Liu Jiayu seemed to feel Chen Hui's movement and stretched out an arm to hug him.
"What's wrong?" Liu Jiayu asked worriedly.
Chen Hui held his wife's hand, took a few deep breaths in the dark night, and then said in a deep voice: "I want to act in that movie "Infernal Affairs"!"
…
After receiving the news that Chen Hui was willing to star in "Infernal Affairs", Chen Feng was still very happy. After all, with Chen Hui's guarantee, the film was only half a success.
Another key point is Lin Zhehua.
Lin Zhehua has been working hard in some small film crews recently. In about half a year, he has been acting like crazy in a lot of movies. Naturally, his acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I only hope that he and Chen Hui can create sparks in their acting skills by then.
Bar.
Moreover, Lin Zhehua is from Tailang Entertainment after all. Even if he can't act well, Chen Feng can even teach him shot by shot. Although Chen Feng himself doesn't know much about acting, at least, he has something in his mind.
In the finished film in the dream world, even if it is a cat-like and a tiger-like one, Lin Zhehua can still perform at a level that is seventy or eighty percent of the character in the original film.
Well, if these two main characters, Lin Zhehua and Chen Hui, can stand up, the film will basically be a success.
As for other actors, they need to wait for the initial crew team to be established before selecting and inviting them one by one.
…
A few days later, Mai Zizhao and Liu Qiangwei came to Kyoto City together.
Chen Feng and Xu Tailang went to pick up the person together.
When he saw Chen Feng with his own eyes, Mai Zizhao couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that Chen Feng was really so young.
However, I think that Chen Feng now has more than 200 million, and has written so many classic music works, and even made movies like "Crazy Stone". He is truly a hero born in a boy!
After a brief exchange of greetings, Mai Zizhao introduced Liu Qiangwei to Chen Feng and Xu Tailang.
Liu Qiangwei had always been a little uneasy in his heart. Although he had already heard of Chen Feng's name, after actually meeting him and seeing Chen Feng's young and unremarkable appearance, he couldn't help but murmur again.
Can such a person really understand movies?
Chen Feng naturally saw the distrust in Liu Qiangwei's eyes, but it doesn't matter, no matter what your attitude is, as long as you are willing to work honestly and make the film as required.
Chen Feng didn't bother to care about what others thought of him.
Mai Zizhao also noticed that something was not right about Liu Qiangwei's mood, so he kept trying to make peace with him, trying to ease the atmosphere, but the effect did not seem to be very good.
Xu Tailang was watching the show like an outsider. Since Chen Feng didn't say anything for the time being, let's just let nature take its course.
…
Mai Zizhao and Liu Qiangwei were arranged in the dormitory apartment of Tailang Entertainment. The environment here is not bad. Many employees and actors live there. Mai Zizhao and Liu Qiangwei are very satisfied with it.
Because they had just arrived today and needed to take a rest first, Chen Feng and Xu Tailang sent people to the apartment and then left.
Mai Zizhao watched Chen Feng and Xu Tailang walk away, and then looked back at Liu Qiangwei.
"Qiangzi, what's going on? I'm not feeling right!"
Liu Qiangwei was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Maybe I just arrived in a strange place and I'm not getting used to it. You know, I'm not very good at communicating with outsiders."
This is true. Although Mai Zizhao is a screenwriter, he is better at interpersonal communication than Liu Qiangwei, a director.
"There's no need to rush. We've already arrived anyway, so let's do things down-to-earth first. At least, we have to work hard for a while and see the results."
The two of them packed up their things while chatting.
…
Chen Feng and Xu Tailang were also talking about Mai Zizhao and Liu Qiangwei.
"That Liu Qiangwei doesn't seem to have a very good attitude." Xu Tailang said.
Chen Feng nodded: "Well, I can feel it too. It's indeed a little cold."
"I'm afraid it's not easy to cooperate with such a person." Xu Tailang shook his head.
Chen Feng smiled: "Not necessarily, Liu Qiangwei. I have watched some of his films. He must be talented and capable. As for his own attitude towards others... I don't need to care too much. After all, it doesn't matter.
It just depends on how you can make a good film."
"Relatively speaking, I hate those guys who talk clearly and politely, but are messy when they do things."
Xu Tailang thought for a while and nodded.
"Well, it depends on his specific performance in the future. Anyway, this is our territory. No matter what happens in the end, the initiative will always be in our hands."
…
With the finalization of the two leading actors and the arrival of Mai Zizhao and Liu Qiangwei, the second movie "Infernal Affairs" invested by Chen Feng is finally on the schedule!
