The first thousand two hundred and thirty-eight chapters of the embarrassment of the Hong Kong entertainment industry
As big as the heart is, as big as the stage is. Although it is a dream, 90% of it will not succeed.
But it also tells everyone a problem, that is, people must have dreams, and acting is a profession that is very easy to realize one's dreams.
If an actor can be supported by a good company, then in such a thing, he will definitely realize his dream one day. The entertainment industry is originally a colorful place, full of all kinds of dreams.
place. This time Ye Ming actually truly experienced the vagaries of the entertainment industry.
Beijing, the headquarters of Huihuang Film and Television. Because the Spring Festival has just passed, there are still a few actors here who have not joined the crew. After all, they have to choose the right roles, and in Huihuang Film and Television, because the boss Ye Ming is rarely in the company, naturally he has to work with him.
My boss is in a relationship. These days, if you don’t have a good relationship with your boss, you won’t be able to live smoothly, unless your background is outrageous. But how many people like this are there, that is, in the entertainment industry?
A few celebrities such as the fairy sister can do it.
Therefore, it is also a rare way to hang out in front of the boss and deepen the impression.
At this time, Sister Fang Fang suddenly walked into the office and said: "Boss, there is news from Hong Kong City. It is said that Andy has arrived by plane. It is estimated that the plane will arrive in the capital in two hours. It is Andy's agent.
Telephone."
At this time, Hua Zai came to him, which made Ye Ming feel stunned. Hua Zai came to him, what kind of thing is this? Before the Spring Festival, it was said that Ye Ming went to Hong Kong City to discuss this issue.
.And it’s almost settled.
At this time, Ye Ming immediately realized a problem, that is, under such a situation, there should be some problems in Hong Kong City. Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Hua Zai came so suddenly, there should be
Some unexpected problems occurred, we will go to the airport to pick them up."
This time Hua Zai arrived so suddenly. He probably didn't want many people to know about it. Therefore, Ye Ming went directly to the airport to pick him up. This was more hidden.
Sister Fang Fang thought for a while and said: "When I came back, I heard something about Infernal Affairs. If there are no surprises, then Hua Zai came to you for this reason."
At this time, Ye Ming nodded and said, "That's it, I guess. We'll pick him up at the airport first."
When he picked up Hua Zai, he didn't go to any hotel at this time. Ye Ming stayed with a lot of courtyard houses, and finding one at random would be a good place to receive people. Therefore, few people in the capital knew that Hua Zai had arrived.
The car driven by Sister Fang Fang was not an outsider, and she was also very familiar with Andy. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming was basically relatively relaxed when talking to Andy.
Ye Ming said meaningfully: "This is the Spring Festival, Andy, you came in person, and you came so secretly, it shouldn't be a small thing, right?"
This is probably true. Regarding a question like this, Chinese people have a tradition that the New Year is not celebrated until the fifteenth day. Generally, unless there is something special, this time will not come out casually.
Yes, having to work or something will only happen after the sixth day of the lunar month.
Andy said helplessly: "There is no way. You can't help yourself in the world. I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years. I have made a lot of friends and owe a lot of favors. One of my friends fell in love with me."
I want to play the second part of Infernal Affairs by myself, so at this time I came directly to you to explain this matter to you."
At this time, Andy was a little helpless. He owed a favor in the early years and now he has to pay it back. However, he also invited Ye Ming to film the second part of Infernal Affairs. Therefore, if he said no to such a question,
If Ye Ming goes, he must at least explain clearly.
Moreover, when it comes to a question like this, if you ask for a phone call or something, it would be a bit disrespectful. If you do it yourself, it would be more solemn and show your sincerity.
Ye Ming was very surprised and said: "Has anyone watched this movie? Yes, this is the last pinnacle of Hong Kong's **** movies. After this Infernal Affairs, I want to see Hong Kong in the future."
The general environment of the city is not very suitable for filming this kind of Jianghu movie. If you want to say that it is a movie like Young and Dangerous, it is basically impossible to do it in Hong Kong City now."
The real gangster movies in Hong Kong are also very influential in the Mainland. It should be Fa Ge's heroic character, which opened the prelude to the aesthetics of violence. Young and Dangerous has reached its peak, and can be said to be the pinnacle of gangster movies in Hong Kong.
Made.
It's hard to say what Yi Mian's character is like, but his performance in Young and Dangerous is remarkable, and Young and Dangerous has also made a number of stars.
As for this type of film, the last glory in Hong Kong City was Infernal Affairs. After Infernal Affairs, Hong Kong City completely ended the influence of this kind of gangster movie.
Later, there were movies like Infernal Affairs, such as Black and White Forest, but they were all imitations and simply could not reach the level of elegance.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Infernal Affairs the last pinnacle movie in Hong Kong.
Now that some people have watched this movie, it is not an exaggeration at all to ask such a question.
Ye Ming didn't take it to heart: "Why do you have to come here in person? Just make a phone call. Who on earth is so discerning that he chose a movie like this?"
When Andy saw what Ye Ming said, he didn't mind at all, and it didn't sound like he was being hypocritical. He relaxed, thought for a while and said, "I'm very grateful that you think so much about this matter. It's necessary to come."
I have to come for a visit.
In fact, it was no outsider who fell in love with this movie. Lin Jianyue fell in love with Boss Lin. Boss Lin is very generous and helpful to me. Therefore, I can't refuse such a thing.
Moreover, Lao Liu and Lao Mai have no way to refuse. This matter cannot be changed. But since I don’t have an explanation for you, I’m here.”
At this time, Ye Ming thought about it, and sure enough, there was indeed such a thing. He immediately said: "Boss Lin is not short of the money. Is he trying to flatter someone?"
In fact, if Infernal Affairs Part 2 is placed between the Infernal Affairs trilogy, it would seem rather abrupt.
In fact, the only real classic of the Infernal Affairs trilogy is the first one. The second one should be called the prequel to Infernal Affairs. The third one is just a hodgepodge with many stars, but everyone can see the third one.
, nothing new.
It’s just to consume Infernal Affairs. As for a question like this, what actually makes people speechless is the two leading actors in the second part of Infernal Affairs.
Ye Ming said that the replacement of actors in the second part of Infernal Affairs was done to flatter people.
On this point, Andy quickly confirmed the news: "That's right, Boss Lin is actually doing this to flatter people. The script for the second part we have written can no longer be used. Old Liu
He Lao Mai is redesigning the script.
The second part, which can now be called the prequel to Infernal Affairs, stars Edison Chen and Shawn Yue from the first part, and the real ones to be praised are these two young people."
Ye Ming has actually been thinking about this question, like this question, why are these two starring in the second part of Infernal Affairs? He thought that Hua Zai always came to discuss the second part with him,
It can be said that history has been rewritten.
But now it seems that history is still history, and there is no possibility of rewriting it. As for such an issue, Andy, as the person involved, must be very familiar with such an issue.
Ye Ming thought for a while before asking: "Lao Liu and Lao Mai are not ordinary people with tempers. It is not easy to let go of the second movie so easily."
Therefore, regarding such a matter, Andy said meaningfully: "This is actually very helpless. You said it yourself, Infernal Affairs is a very classic movie, the pinnacle of Hong Kong movies, and Infernal Affairs
As expected, it became the salvation of Hong Kong movies.
But this movie was supported by a few of us old guys, and there are basically no newcomers in the movie. The entertainment industry in Hong Kong is now in a state of decline. The four kings have been around for more than ten years, and they still make up half of the entertainment industry. This pair
As far as the entertainment industry is concerned, it is not actually a sign of health. Therefore, when it comes to such an issue, some issues have to become more sensitive.
We have also seen this phenomenon. An industry cannot be supported only by the elderly.
In fact, young people should emerge. If there are only a few of us old guys, what do you think of Hong Kong City Movies? Therefore, we must find some opportunities for new people. Boss Lin
In fact, you used such a reason to convince me, and I guess I also used the same reason to convince Lao Liu and Lao Mai. If you use such a reason for this matter, what excuse do we have for not agreeing to it?"
Giving young people a chance to start over in the entertainment industry is not a chance given, but a chance to fight for it. In fact, the media in Hong Kong City also analyzed this matter later. It is not that Shawn Yue has no background, and Edison Chen does not need it.
It is said that Edison Chen's father is a very powerful person, so Edison Chen is also very popular in the entertainment industry. If it weren't for the pornographic photo scandal that later turned Edison Chen into a street rat, then Edison Chen would later become a superstar.
, basically there is no problem.
It's a pity that the pornographic photos scandal in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is definitely not the darkest side. There must be more dirty things, but others are very good at covering up and will not let the media know. Only Edison Chen foolishly exposes his habits
Shooting became photos, and I finally became a photography master who can compete with Teacher Aang.
It is no exaggeration to say that Edison Chen will be immortal forever. Regarding such a question, Edison Chen is still the kind of person who is proud of himself. Therefore, it is normal for him to be highly praised for his role in the second part of Infernal Affairs.
of.
When Ye Ming heard that it was these two people, he said curiously: "I heard that the relationship between Edison Chen and Shawn Yue is not very good. It is even said that the two people have almost never interacted with each other until death.
In such a situation, if these two are allowed to star in a movie, Boss Lin is not afraid of losing money."
These two actors don't have to know each other. They get along slowly while filming. If many actors become friends, it is because they feel that they have the right temperament to become friends during filming, so they become good friends.
.But if it is said that the relationship between the two leading actors is very bad, or even said to be enemies in legend, it will definitely affect the filming.
No matter how good a director is, it is impossible to make a good movie.
Andy said helplessly: "This application is really hard to say. The relationship between the two is relatively bad, but they are the most suitable.
Therefore, Boss Lin also specially talked with two people about such an issue, and they also promised that there would be no problems during the filming, otherwise they probably would not have signed the contract."
Two enemies, even if they appear to be relatively cooperative on the surface, it is absolutely impossible to have that kind of cooperation without any problems. During the filming of the movie at this time, it can definitely be shown clearly.
At this time, the probability of two different starring actors filming a classic is zero.
Therefore, at this time, even if Ye Ming has not seen the second part of Infernal Affairs, he basically does not have any hope that this movie can surpass the first part. After all, in a movie like this
As for the question, let alone the first classic, the second one can surpass the first and become a classic. Even if it can ensure that the level does not drop, it is very rare. In history, there are only a few movies such as The Terminator, and the second one can
It has become a more classic movie than the first one.
Of course, if you want to talk about a movie like 007, there really isn’t much to say about it.
Anyway, Ye Ming believes that there is basically no chance for the second part of Infernal Affairs to surpass the first one. It can be seen from these actors that under such a situation and such a cast, it has actually been
One thing is destined, that is, there is no chance of surpassing the first part. The director and actors probably all know that it is impossible to surpass the first part. But Ye Ming can see such a problem, but it is not
Will speak out, because speaking out will offend people. Now Ye Ming is no longer the impulsive Ye Ming before. Now Ye Ming, at this time, actually has a mature enough mentality to deal with the entertainment industry.
