Chapter 661: Chen Mubai takes over the production of Hong Kong films!
The matter was settled, although everyone thought that the risk was relatively large, but out of trust in Chen Mubai, everyone still believed that he could complete it.
Besides, he himself said that this police film is the movie he has always wanted to make, and it can be regarded as a dream come true.
"This movie is basically Xiangjiang actors, I can choose a few roles, but not too many, you follow to play a role, there will definitely be a promotion for you. Chen Mubai looked at Qian Duoduo and said.
The supporting roles in "Infernal Affairs" are all classic, and the acting requirements in it will also be high.
Chen Mubai believes that once this movie is broadcast, it will definitely cause a repercussion, and those actors who will appear will have a chance to become popular, at least for the improvement of fame.
Qian Duoduo starred in "Crazy Stone" before, and his fame has increased a lot, but he still lacks works and topics.
Now there is an opportunity, I believe that after filming "Infernal Affairs", his fame will definitely be greater, and he will receive more discussions.
"Okay!" Qian Duoduo agreed, with excitement in his heart.
This movie brings together the actors of Xiangjiang, so the cast will definitely be very strong, and it is already rare for him to get a role in it, so he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
If it weren't for Chen Mubai, this kind of movie full of bigwigs would definitely have nothing to do with him.
Regardless of the success or failure of the movie, at least in this kind of superstar-studded film, it is already a great honor to be able to participate in it.
It's rare to be able to perform on the same stage with a group of bigwigs!
Not to mention making connections, it is to learn their acting skills, and it is an excellent thing to observe them up close.
There are also people in the circle who spend money to follow him to film in order to be able to observe the acting skills of top superstars, just to see how he acts, and now that he can have a free opportunity, how can Qian Duoduo not be excited?
And Qian Duoduo himself grew up watching Xiangjiang's movies since he was a child, and many of Xiangjiang's superstars are his idols, and this time he may be in the same crew with his idols, and he can also chase stars.
"You're going to star too, right?" Lu Fang asked as he looked at Chen Mubai.
"Well, this time I'm going to let Duoduo and Xiaoxiao get a role, there may not be a lot of scenes, and I can't take too heavy supporting roles, after all, the other party's request is a Xiangjiang movie. Chen Mubai said.
Although Luo Fan said that let Chen Mubai call the shots, he can also let him take a few roles, but Chen Mubai can't take the role of an important role, he must still be a star in Xiangjiang, after all, it is a movie that the Xiangjiang Film Association wants to shoot, and it is good to be able to take a few roles.
And Xiangjiang-style movies, if there are fewer local stars in Xiangjiang, it will also lose a certain flavor, and the main characters are all mainland actors, so what kind of Xiangjiang movie is it?
Other people's words are polite, and it will be embarrassing when they are true.
Chen Mubai is not Wuxia Ameng, so naturally he will not do such excessive things.
This time, Chen Mubai was ready to play the role of Liu Jianming by himself, Tao Yaoyao played his wife, and Qian Duoduo played the role of Silly Qiang, that is, Chen Yongren's eldest brother, and finally knew that he was a policeman but still chose to protect him to death.
"Infernal Affairs" itself is about the conflict between the two camps, and there are very few emotional scenes, so there are no characters with many scenes in the female role, which can be regarded as a play with two male protagonists.
In their previous lives, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei relied on this drama to be nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, and the two competed for this award together, and in the end, Liu Dehua lost by one vote.
But in the competition with "Infernal Affairs 2" in the coming year, Wu Zhenyu, as the second protagonist, lost to another movie starring Liu Dehua.
It's not that Wu Zhenyu's performance is bad, in fact, he acted very well, but this time the judges are interested in compensating Liu Dehua, the actor, and his performance in the last session was also very good, and he lost by one vote, so this actor has the meaning of making up for it.
Liu Dehua helped him in his previous life, and it was because of Liu Dehua that he would have him later.
Chen Mubai treats Liu Dehua as a big brother-like existence, and he has always respected and worshiped him.
Liu Jianming, played by Liu Dehua, lost to Chen Yongren, he has a lot of regrets, and he hopes that his big brother can get that trophy.
So this time he has this opportunity, he hopes that he will play Liu Jianming to defeat Chen Yongren and win a trophy for this role!
Back in "Infernal Affairs 1", did Liu Jianming's performance really lose to Chen Yongren?
No, first of all, the two male protagonists, Chen Yongren has more scenes, he has more shots, and the completeness of the role is much higher than that of Liu Jianming, which is a point.
In addition, Liu Dehua, as an investor in this drama, deleted a lot of scenes in his own roles, and then improved Chen Yongren's scenes, and added scenes to the rest of the roles.
Because, he felt that many of the movie stars were well-known, and he was afraid that others would be unhappy if he had fewer scenes, so he simply sacrificed his role and added drama to others.
Again, he always believes that bad guys should not have a good ending, and it will have a bad impact, but Chen Yongren's undercover identity should be remembered more, so he gave this role more scenes and improved the role.
Because of this, everyone has a better perception of Chen Yongren, Liu Jianming is also a bad person, indirectly killing many police colleagues, and the lack of scenes makes the turning point of this role a bit blunt.
Another point is the inherent impression, in the eyes of the judges, Liu Dehua still belongs to the kind of idol-type male protagonist, thinking that his appearance is still the shackles of his acting skills, with these impressions, ignoring some of his acting skills.
There are two kinds of handsome men, one is handsome, and the other is good temperament and full of manliness.
It just so happens that Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei occupy these two, the former is handsome, and the latter has a melancholy temperament, which is fascinating.
In the eyes of the judges, too high a good appearance will hinder the performance of acting skills, and it will also make it easy for others to ignore acting skills.
Temperament is different, it is a big killer of acting, especially the eyes can add points to acting skills, stars like Takeshi Kaneshiro belong to both temperament and appearance, and they are very popular in the industry, and they are also the type of actors loved by the judges.
This is common all over the world, such as the world superstar Leonardo, who fascinated a large number of people around the world with his appearance when he was young, but he has not gained anything at the Oscars.
Later, he learned from the pain and began to stop paying attention to his appearance, so he had the "water gun picture" in the back, and he finally won the Oscar in "The Revenant".
Did Liu Jianming really lose to Chen Yongren?
In fact, they don't lose, both of them are very good, and it's normal for anyone to take it, so this is why it will be officially awarded to Liu Dehua in the next Academy Awards.
It's just that Wu Zhenyu suffered, after all, his own performance was also very outstanding, and he was originally a favorite of the year, but because of this incident, he missed a golden statue trophy.
There are three parts of "Infernal Affairs", and the acting skills of all the actors in each part are online throughout the whole process, just like in the first part, in addition to the two roles of Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, the gang boss Han Chen and the superintendent Officer Huang are all charismatic characters, and the actors' performances are also very good.
It's just that the introduction of the lives of the two is a little less in the feature film, after all, they are supporting roles, and the audience's eyes are still on the protagonist, but it doesn't seem that the roles are empty because of the few scenes, but everyone performs very well, which leaves a deep impression.
"I still have to write the script first, and when the time comes, Brother Lu, you go and hand over the rest to them. Chen Mubai looked at Lu Fang and said.
The matter has been preliminarily negotiated, and the specific details must be discussed and then the contract will be signed, and these things will be left to Lu Fang, and he will only concentrate on the affairs of the movie.
"No problem. Lu Fang nodded.
"Duoduo, try your best to finish filming when the time comes, this movie may start filming at any time. Chen Mubai said.
"If it's worse, then stop your role first, and then come back to shoot after filming "Infernal Affairs", your role is not much, and it shouldn't take much time. ”
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "No problem." ”
"Wulin Gaiden" has been filming for nearly half a year, and it is almost complete, just because there is too much content. The shooting took a little longer.
His schedule is not a problem and can be adjusted at any time.
Everyone was still curious about what type Chen Mubai's next work would be and when the project would be established, but they didn't expect Xiangjiang to solve their doubts for them.
Next, Lu Fang began to hand over with Times Media to discuss specific matters related to the film.
There are several entertainment companies in Xiangjiang that have participated in the investment, and several of them are film and television companies specializing in cinemas, and they also hope that the film industry in Xiangjiang can come back to life, after all, the better the movies in Xiangjiang, the more money they will make.
The quality of Xiangjiang movies is linked to their interests, which is why they agreed to promise Chen Mubai as a condition to invite him to make a move.
Within a few days, Luo Fan received Chen Mubai's script, and after he watched it, he immediately found the rest of the investors and showed them the script.
The quality of this script is beyond their expectations, and it is very much the shadow and style of Hong Kong films, the classic battle of police and bandits!
"That's it!"
"Let's make the news public, the movie is ready to be prepared!"
"Regarding the actor's question, Chen Mubai took three from his side, namely Liu Jianming, Silly Qiang and Mary. Luo Fan said: "Liu Jianming is one of the protagonists, and Chen Mubai plays it himself." ”
"Huh, only three?" someone was surprised.
In their opinion, the chips they gave were very big, I thought that Chen Mubai was now at the peak of his career, and he would definitely have a few more roles, but he didn't expect to ask for three, except for the protagonist, the other two roles did not have many roles.
After reading the script, they naturally know the basic information of the characters and know how many scenes there are.
At present, Chen Mubai has filmed three movies, and he is the protagonist in each of them, so there is no problem in taking the protagonist.
Chen Mubai must have no problem playing the leading role, and he is also in line with himself, a handsome police officer.
As for the problem of acting skills, it is even more of a problem, and no one dares to say that their acting skills must be better than him, after all, he has won several awards in a few years after his debut, which is an achievement that many actors cannot achieve in their lifetime.
"He was a man of great integrity and principled. Luo Fan praised Chen Mubai.
"I can see that since he is so upright, we can't pit him. Several people replied.
"Regarding the election of roles, let's finalize it, find powerful actors, and invite a few well-known superstars to participate. ”
"Try to contact a few, if there is a problem with the schedule, let them adjust it, if it doesn't work, change people, this drama must be filmed well, and you can't be blind to such a good script. ”
After reading the content of the script, they all feel that this drama is of high quality, and if it is filmed, the box office should not be low, and it may even cause a counterattack by Hong Kong films and drive the trend of police and gangster films!
Chen Mubai provided some information on the role of actors, and they could find suitable roles according to the matching degree of the role.
Of course, that is just Chen Mubai's suggestion, and the specific situation still depends on the operation of Luo Fan and others.
After all, it's not who they are optimistic about, who will definitely star, even if they agree, they still have to consider the other party's schedule.
The preparation of the movie may take some time, but the news of the cooperation with Chen Mubai can be released and attract attention, which will have an impact on the topic and attention of the movie, and may attract big-name stars to join.
After all, the quality and reputation of Chen Mubai's current three films and box office results are here, and many stars will definitely be willing to join if they see him directed.
After communicating with Mubai Entertainment, the two sides officially reached a cooperation and began to prepare for the movie "Infernal Affairs".
They took the initiative to release this cooperation, which caused heated discussions among the public!
No one thought that Chen Mubai would choose to accept the production of Hong Kong films!
