Chapter 217: Auditions for Hollywood?

Next, Hong Chen filmed in the crew of "The Wandering Earth".

This is his first time making a special effects film.

He used to think that making this kind of movie would be easy, because after all, special effects are the focus. As a result, I realized that it was very difficult to shoot.

Special effects movies test not only the acting skills of the actors, but also the imagination of the actors.

Often the director sketches a scene for him to imagine for himself and then performs it.

Moreover, a lot of the scenes were shot against the backdrop of a green screen.

In the past, when he was filming, such as "Langya Bang", he was in the court, in the palace, surrounded by costumers, so it was easy to get into the play.

However, some scenes in special effects films only have green screens, and there is no specific background, relying only on the imagination of the actors.

Only then did Hong Chen react that there is indeed another reason why Huaxia films can't make good special effects movies.

That is, there is no good actor who can cooperate well with the imagination of the director.

Therefore, the filming of this movie often stops, and then several people discuss how to shoot the plot, and then continue.

On this day, Hong Chen suddenly received a call from Ge Chen.

"Boss, why didn't I see you move when such a big thing happened?" Ge Chen's voice came from joy.

"What's the matter?" Hearing her words, Hong Chen was a little stunned.

"Haven't you been paying attention? "Infernal Affairs" has been released, and it has already broken several box office records in Hong Kong. ”

""Infernal Affairs"?" Hong Chen then remembered, calculating the time, it was the day when "Infernal Affairs" was released.

Because "Infernal Affairs" was filmed too quickly, the director didn't have much expectation for this movie, just hoping that this movie could make some money.

The same is true for Hong Chen, he knows that this movie does not have big scenes such as action scenes or explosion scenes, but more inner conflicts between characters and lack of highlights.

They would never have thought that this movie would be completely popular.

"Is it so powerful, has it broken the record?" Hong Chen still couldn't believe it.

"Hmm. broke the HK box office premiere record and the fastest record to break 10 million, and if it continues like this, there may be a situation where the "Double Monday" will compete for hegemony that year!"

"Exaggeration. ”

Hong Chen shook his head and said.

The popularity of the Double Monday Success that year was not just as simple as their movies dominating the box office.

It's the influence of their movies that has radiated to the whole world!

At that time, Hong Chen was still young, but he had basically watched the movies of these three people.

Even now, many post-90s generations will go back to watch these people's movies.

Because such a movie deserves to be seen a second time.

In today's impetuous society, there are too few movies that are willing to make people go back and watch them again.

Therefore, Hong Chen couldn't believe it.

Moreover, now that Hong Kong films are in decline, HK's police and gangster films have been reduced to popcorn movies like fast food, just watch a lively one.

"No, it's true, the online reviews of this movie are very high. Now three days after its release, some theaters in Japan and South Korea have expressed their willingness to release this movie!" Ge Chen has been paying attention to Hong Chen's works, so he also knows "Infernal Affairs" very well.

"Okay, I got it. Hong Chen hung up the phone, and then took out his mobile phone to read the information on the Internet, it doesn't matter if you look at it, "Infernal Affairs" really went directly to the top of the hot search.

In fact, many years ago, HK's film industry began to slump.

It can even be said that if HK movies are made one and one die, the box office of the movie is miserable. Yuan Long and Hong Chen's "New Police Story" also covered a little face for HK movies.

But this time, "Infernal Affairs" swept the world, as if returning to the glory of Hong Kong films back then!

It stands to reason that gangster movies have long since declined, but this time is different.

The director not only chose the theme of undercover gangsters, but also did not focus on the confrontation between the underworld and the police, but focused on the entanglement of people's hearts, the inversion of the identity of police and bandits, and the morality of the world.

That is, for the first time, gangster movies have depth.

The film had a huge impact overseas.

Just to say a simple example, Mi GuoWarner bought the remake rights to this movie for $5 million!

This is currently the highest copyright fee for European and American remakes of Asian films!

After this incident, he directly regained the confidence of HK Films.

"Infernal Affairs" gave hope to HK filmmakers, and now, the HK market is heating up again.

A kind of Hong Kong star, and I have the confidence to let the world see the style of Hong Kong films.

Hong Chen and Liu Dehua, the two will be forever remembered in HK film history.

Hong Chen didn't expect that this movie would bring him such a big opportunity!

Because of the hit of this movie, he has directly received the attention of Hollywood!

Rice country, Hollywood.

There is no doubt that this is the commanding heights of the world's film and television, and the blockbusters that are internationally known are basically from here.

Hollywood's big IPs abound.

There are eight major studios in Hollywood: Warner, MGM, Paramount, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, United Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Disney, all of which are giants.

There are also some smaller film and television companies, which also have a high reputation in the world!

These companies, just by jumping out of the opening logo, people know that they won't be bad movies.

At Universal Pictures, investor Robert is looking at the debriefing materials handed over by his subordinates.

Now, Universal Pictures is going to make a new movie, and one of the characters needs an Asian to play.

As far as young people in Asia are concerned, in fact, there are more people from the cold country used in Hollywood, and there are a few Japanese people.

Young actors in China, who can get into Hollywood, basically rely on action scenes.

Yuan Long is more powerful, his films were too popular in Hollywood back then, so he was very popular in Hollywood, and he took on the starring roles of big productions.

The rest of Jet Li, Zhou Zhaolong, etc., the former has slightly worse resources, but there are also a few good works, and the latter has made cameo appearances in many big-budget action scenes, such as a Chinese master in "The Matrix".

Basically, Hollywood rarely uses young Chinese actors.

"Huaxia?" Robert looked at the information in his hand and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, sir. This person has a very high reputation in China, has won several actors, and also has a lot of influence in other Asian countries. "His subordinates are specifically responsible for the Asian market, so he knows the Asian market very well.

"Is it really that powerful?" Robert asked, "How is his Chinese kung fu?"

"Sir, this young actor started out making action movies, and I have prepared a few action scenes for him, please take a look. The subordinate reported.

Then, Robert started looking at the video on his computer.

In the information, it is the fight scenes of Hong Chen in "Battle for Fire" and "Slaying the Wolf 2", the effect is very good, fists to the flesh, and there is a real sense of blow unique to Chinese action movies.

"Not bad. Robert finished watching the video clip and nodded.

"Well, audition to add him as well. These Asians are the best in their respective countries, and it's up to them who wins the spot. Robert closed the information and said slowly.

"Don't worry, sir, I'll let you out. ”

Robert shrugged his shoulders, the next movie he was going to make was a big production, so, he would choose the best actors to finish.

Among them, the role of this Asian is very important.

Therefore, Robert's audition list is all the best young actors in Asian countries!

And among these actors, only one person can get this precious place!
