Cheng Hao thought for a while, moved his neck, and sighed: "The role of Azi has been decided for a long time, and I don't know what role I should play."
He Xin was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Azi has already decided? How is this possible?"
"How is that impossible? Mr. Wang said that two roles have been decided, oh, three roles to be exact. I heard that Lu Yi will play Duan Yu, and Zhao Weifen will play the roles of A'Zhu and A'Zi.
.”
This is the first time He Xin has heard this statement, but not to mention, it is quite appropriate to have Lu Yi play Duan Yu and Zhao Weifen to play the roles of A'Zhu and A'Zi.
Lu Yi is currently a popular niche student, with red lips, white teeth, and a pretty face, so he is very suitable to play Duan Yu. Although Zhao Wei got a lot of criticism for wearing a military flag a few years ago, she is a first-line actress after all, and she plays Duan Yu.
The image of Little Swallow has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He has many similarities with the quirky A Zi, so he is also a very suitable candidate.
Of course, although the role has been decided, it is still in the preparation stage after all, and we still have to face the unknowns such as the producer's considerations, the director's choice, and the actor's schedule. If there is a problem in some link, it is normal to change the actor.
"Don't be discouraged, maybe there will be another chance in the future!"
"Look, I don't know if they will want me."
Now if Cheng Hao is compared with Zhao Wei, she will not even have any confidence. After all, she is a first-tier actress, but she may not even be considered a third-tier actress at the moment.
"Forget it, stop reading, I'm sleepy." She looked tired and yawned widely.
"It's almost twelve o'clock. It's time to go to bed. I'll turn off the light."
"Um."
He Xin turned off the light and got into bed.
His girlfriend naturally hugged his neck and rubbed her body into his arms.
He Xin also hugged her waist, put his face on her hair, and closed his eyes.
…
"Sister Hong, I have clothes. I only wore the two dresses last time. There is no need to get this again!" He Xin looked at the gorgeous Armani trademark on the sign and turned back to Chang Jihong.
"I'm not asking you to wear it this time. I'm preparing it for the Academy Awards next month. I'm afraid you won't be able to spare time next month."
Sister Hong continued to persuade her earnestly: "You are now the Golden Horse Best Actor, and you will definitely be the focus of media attention. Hong Kong is not like Wanwan. They are very particular about brands. If you dress carelessly, people will look down on you."
"Why do I want people to look up to me? I'm not going to film there." He Xin said nonchalantly.
"Don't say this, Hu Jun is developing very well there now. Every aspect there is more developed than ours, and the audience also recognizes it. If you have the opportunity to develop there for a period of time, it will be like a layer of plating.
Jin, things will be different when you come back, do you understand?" Sister Hong hated the fact that iron can't make steel.
"Sister Hong, we don't have to be so aggressive in trying to fawn over others, can we just let nature take its course?"
Chang Jihong wanted to take advantage of this time that after He Xin was nominated for two awards, he would go there to build relationships and try out Jin Peng's path to see if he could break into the Hong Kong film industry.
The previous Hu Jun and the pretty boy Qing from another time and space followed this path. They made a few movies there and transformed themselves into each other, and it was quite remarkable.
Of course, this is a good thing. When filming there, the pay is still high, and Sister Hong also cares for him from the bottom of her heart. However, her attitude of putting herself in a very low position and being a bit of a stick to beg for others made him feel helpless.
In the new century, the domestic film and television industry has gradually started to develop. Of course, we have to admit that Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially Hong Kong, have long been known as the "Hollywood of the East". The film and television industry is very developed, and it is appropriate to learn from others, but
You can’t just be a licking dog, right?
The same goes for domestic stars, as soon as they become famous, they will go there, as if their status will be different if they appear in Hong Kong movies. Just like Xiao Yanzi Zhao Wei, after becoming famous, he starred in "The Battle of the Forbidden City" one after another,
"Unparalleled", and Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer" which became a hit in Hong Kong last year.
In fact, Xiao Yanzi is quite lucky. Although the focus of these dramas is not on her, she can at least play the role of a female lead and a second female lead, which sounds a lot better.
But for someone like Xiao Zhang, who actually was reduced to a supporting role in "The Legend of Shushan", playing alongside Zhang Baizhi, but still enjoying it, this is a bit too much.
There is also Hu Jun. His agent Wang Jinghua is very resourceful and has been actively helping him operate in Hong Kong since "Lan Yu" made a big splash at the Golden Horse Awards last year.
He Xin just had a phone call with him a few days ago. It is said that he has already accepted two dramas, one TV series and one movie, but they are all supporting roles.
In fact, this phenomenon has just begun. After the liberalization of co-productions, those Hong Kong movies will need both mainland money and the mainland market. But what about the mainland actors? Either let our first-line actresses act as vases for them, or
It's just a soy sauce thing once in a while, starring in the lead role, don't even think about it.
And what about our mainland movies? It seems like they won’t be sold if they don’t have Hong Kong and Taiwan stars playing the leading roles.
Xiang Guoshi's "Heroes" used Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Maggie Cheung, Liu Dehua and Xiao Jin in "House of Flying Daggers", Fa Ge and Jay Lun in "The City of Golden Breasts".
Kaiye used Zhang Baizhi and Xie Biwang in "The Promise", Li Ming in "Mei Lanfang", Uncle Zhao in "Search" and Aaron Kwok and Lin Zhilin in "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".
Even those who claim to be very down-to-earth like Xiaogangpao are all the hard-hitting Uncle Ge, a popular female star from Hong Kong and Taiwan. In "A World Without Thieves", even Uncle Ge stepped aside and used kappa-headed Andy Lau and milk tea.
.
Although these great directors use top-notch stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, this does not mean that our mainland actors are not good! Until Xiaogangpao's "Assembly", which used all mainland actors, it defeated Li Lien, Andy Lau and Xiao Jin at the box office
The starring role in "Tou Ming Zhuan" slightly changed this trend.
Later, a small-budget movie called "Love Is Not Blind" took in 350 million at the box office and became the biggest dark horse of the year. Only then did the bosses of the film and television companies suddenly realize that they could make money from movies without using expensive Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
This is why our mainland actors began to gradually replace Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
In an era when mainland movies are experiencing a box office explosion, the ones that can compete head-on with Hollywood blockbusters, except perhaps "The Mermaid" which "we all owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket", seem to be all domestically produced movies from the mainland.
Even though "Mermaid" is produced under Stephen Chow's brand, the leading actors in it are all mainland actors.
He Xin originally didn't want to complain. After all, regional discrimination exists everywhere, not to mention that people's level is higher than yours, so unequal cooperation is inevitable.
But it was precisely because he knew the outcome that he felt aggrieved.
He was helpless, and Chang Jihong was even more helpless than him.
When she signed the contract, Chang Jihong's first impression of him was that this little guy loves money. Now that we have been together for so long, everyone knows the basics.
It turns out that his love for money was an illusion, and it was based on the fact that he had no money. Once he had money, he would be rich and start to pick and choose the scripts.
Would you say he is motivated? Not necessarily.
"Lan Yu" won him the Golden Horse Best Actor, and he collaborated with a great Hong Kong director like Kwan Kam-peng. If he were someone else, he would definitely find ways to develop in Hong Kong through director Kwan's relationship, just like Hu Jun did.
But this guy had no such idea at all. Not only did he reject Zhao Baogang and Haiyan, he actually got together with Uncle Gao Qun, who was filming documentaries.
Originally, he was nominated for the Golden Bauhinia Award and the Academy Award this time. What a great opportunity for the Hong Kong film industry to get to know him!
But this guy still looks tired and not active at all.
Fortunately, Sister Hong didn’t know the story of a handsome young man from another time and space. The handsome young man’s salary for filming Wang Chao’s “Anyang Baby” in the Mainland was only 80,000 yuan. Then he couldn’t survive in the Mainland and took the route of Laoguan to Hong Kong.
In just two years, the salary increased to HK$6 million.
If Sister Hong knew about this myth, she would have to work hard to push him into the Hong Kong film industry!
"Stop talking nonsense, everyone is here, let's go in and give it a try!"
Sister Hong slapped him on the back and pushed him inside with a helpless expression.
