Chapter 1015: The Righteous Brother
In the original historical trajectory, April 1 every year is a day that many people hate.
After all, when they were three years old, a certain man they remembered deeply chose to end his life. So whenever this day comes, the hearts of these people are very sad.
But now, because of Zhao Fusheng, the tragedy did not happen.
Someone who was originally suffering from depression had no time to think about it because he was busy with the filming of "Lan Yu".
That's right, from the end of 02 to the beginning of 03, Zhao Fusheng ruthlessly "pitted" Zhang Guorong.
Specifically, in addition to investing a sum of money in Leslie Cheung to shoot movies, all other things in the future film and television were thrown to him.
In Zhao Fusheng's words, no one is better suited to do this and make this movie than you.
Zhang Guorong himself is a perceptual person, and after listening to Zhao Fusheng's words, he suddenly felt like a confidant. But after he really took over the filming of "Lan Yu", he was stunned.
It's a drop, it's just confused.
The entire crew, except for him as a leading actor, has nothing, and even the special director asks Zhang Guorong to contact him himself.
At the beginning, Bai Jie symbolically hung the title of a producer and producer, and later simply handed it over to Leslie Cheung, so Leslie Cheung was also the starring producer and the supernumerary screenwriter with multiple titles, so he was driven to the shelves.
But he really loves the drama "Lan Yu", so no matter how hard he works, Leslie Cheung has never been tired, he looked at the thatched house alone, personally invited the famous director Guan Jinpeng on Hong Kong Island to direct the play, and used his status and connections in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry to gather the best behind-the-scenes production team.
In Mrs. Chen's words: He is filming this drama as his own life.
"In this world, some people live in high-rise buildings, some people are in deep ditches, some people are bright, and some people are rusty. Whoever is not carrying a weight and is born as a human being should be kind. ”
"How many people still don't understand that people want to maintain a long-term and comfortable relationship with each other, relying on commonality and attraction. Instead of oppression, bondage, flattery, and blind giving, and moral self-touching. ”
"There are some unacceptable parts of everyone's personality, even the most beautiful people. So don't be yourself and don't blame others. ”
These golden sentences compiled by Zhao Fusheng at the beginning were deeply liked by Leslie Cheung, and he added them to the script one by one, and not surprisingly, as Leslie Cheung's work, "Blue Yu" swept the two major awards ceremonies of the Golden Horse and Golden Elephant, and became a dark horse for literary and artistic films on Hong Kong Island and the Wanwan area in the entire 03 year.
And Leslie Cheung also officially announced his retirement at the Academy Awards ceremony, the moment he won the Best Actor.
In his own words: "A friend advised me to live happily, not to think too much, not to care about things that I shouldn't care about, I think he was right, I should live a little freer." Therefore, from today on, Leslie Cheung will no longer act in movies, no longer sing, and will not appear in front of the screen. I hope that, from this moment on, I will become an ordinary person. ”
He did what he said, really abandoned everything, no longer appeared in front of the screen, and even his best friend invited him to a concert, he politely declined.
Zhang Guorong has become a legend.
And now, Zhao Fusheng's phone call was naturally made to this big brother in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry.
"You person, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall, call me, is there something?" Zhang Guorong's Chinese is very good, when he filmed "Farewell Ji" in the mainland, his Chinese also surprised many people.
In fact, Zhao Fusheng has always believed that that is the pinnacle of Leslie Cheung's acting skills, and in the depths of his feelings, people can't tell whether it is Leslie Cheung or Cheng Dieyi on the stage.
Or, he has symbolized the role of Cheng Dieyi and made it an eternal classic.
"The elder brother is like a god, and the younger brother admires it. Zhao Fusheng smiled, didn't bother to say anything, and directly said his intention: "That's the case, I'm in a little trouble here, and I want to find a director and behind-the-scenes team on Hong Kong Island, can you help me introduce me?"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Guorong did not answer Zhao Fusheng's question, but directly asked what happened.
"It's nothing, it's just that I offended a few people here, and people are saying in the circle that they want to ban me. Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly and said indifferently.
"What a big breath. Zhang Guorong also gasped on the phone, since Zhao Fusheng was forced to go to Hong Kong Island for help, it seems that the other party's power is not small.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "This is easy to do, I can help you introduce the director and the behind-the-scenes team, and if necessary, I can star in person." ”
This is also Zhao Fusheng, if he were someone else, Zhang Guorong would never break his oath to stop shadowing.
"I got my heart, this play is a pure comedy, not suitable for you, brother. Zhao Fusheng said seriously: "You just need to help me contact Zhou Xingxing." ”
"Xingzai?" Zhang Guorong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, I'll call him when I go back and tell him your number." ”
He is Zhang Guorong, whether it is Zhou Xingxing, who will be called the star master in the future, or what big name, in front of him, he can only be the last to learn.
You must know that when filming "The True Color of Heroes", even Fa Ge could only be called "poison hair".
Yes, Fa Ge naturally made a popular TV series back then, but if he made a movie, ahem, the promising career of a TV drama actor is more suitable for him.
And at that time, Zhang Guorong was already a popular fried chicken on Hong Kong Island, and Wu's big head fooled him with the excuse of making movies, that is, the movie was tailor-made for him, and he was the protagonist......
As a result, halfway through the filming, Leslie Cheung felt that something was wrong, and waited until after the release.
Hit the streets!
Wu's big head, this bastard, actually fooled Lao Tzu!
As a result, no one expected that "The True Color of Heroes" would become popular, and everyone in the movie in the play would get benefits, so even if he wanted to turn his face, Leslie Cheung had no way to talk about it, so he had to pinch his nose and endure it.
In short, in the eighties and nineties, Zhang Guorong's existence was actually similar to the traffic niche in the Internet era, and he was a king-level player with his own fan support.
To this day, it is the same, Zhao Fusheng can even be sure that if Leslie Cheung comes back to shoot movies for himself, no matter what type of movie it is, at least 10 million box office is guaranteed.
But to be honest, Zhao Fusheng couldn't do it, he asked himself that he was far less despicable, and he actually wanted to use a person who was bent on living a peaceful life to cheer for his movie platform.
Therefore, Zhang Guorong's kindness, Zhao Fusheng could only refuse politely.
"Speaking of which, you kid, you won't write another script of the same quality as "Infernal Affairs", right?" Before Zhang Guorong hung up the phone, he suddenly remembered something and asked casually.
Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Almost." ”
And Zhang Guorong, who put down the phone, was shocked.
and "Infernal Affairs" on the same level of movie scripts, what does that mean?
You must know that "Infernal Affairs" back then was known as saving the Hong Kong Island film market and creating a new genre of films.
And now, Zhao Fusheng's guy has written a movie about the same level as "Infernal Affairs".
Is this guy really a legendary genius?
Zhao Fusheng didn't know that his words made Zhang Guorong think a lot, he was now paying attention to Zhou Xingxing, he originally thought it would be easy to contact the other party, but Bai Jie tried a lot of relationships, but the final result was unsatisfactory, and Zhou Xingxing never responded.
In desperation, Zhao Fusheng thought of using Zhang Guorong's line.
Now it seems that it is okay, the handsome guy Zhang has a good impression of himself, and he is finally willing to agree to help.
I just don't know what Zhou Xingxing's reaction will be, after all, although the acting skills of that person didn't say it, but in private, it was notoriously difficult.
At this point, even if Zhao Fusheng liked to watch his movies very much in his previous life, he has to admit that Zhou Xingxing is definitely two contrasts between him and the screen.
In other words, all artists are the same.
may be a funny and interesting person who laughs and scolds on the screen, but in private he is an extremely quiet character. may be a villain who speaks and acts badly on the screen all year round, but he is usually a gentle person who loves flowers and trees.
People, they always have to play some roles in order to live, and celebrities are also people, and the same is true.
Zhao Fusheng didn't mind the collapse of Zhou Xingxing's image, because he himself had passed the age when chasing stars and even ignoring the truth.
Feelings are feelings, but feelings belong to you, not owe someone a movie ticket.
........................
........................
Not to mention that Zhang Guorong contacted Zhou Xingxing, the next day, Zhao Fusheng met Bai Jie at home, and the two of them came to Renyi in a car.
Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should naturally be done one by one.
Zhao Fusheng spent a lot of money to understand this truth in his last life.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, since Renyi is willing to invite myself over, then this cooperation should be nine out of ten, and the rest is just a discussion of specific details.
And to be honest, Zhao Fusheng walked into the place where Fan Baobao worked for the first time, and he was quite curious in his heart.
Yang Lixin personally led people to receive Zhao Fusheng at the door, except for him, none of the leaders of Renyi appeared.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Fusheng already had a rough idea in his heart, it seems that Renyi is planning to make a fortune in a muffled voice, otherwise, there is no need to be so low-key.
But that's okay, Zhao Fusheng himself doesn't want this matter to be too high-profile, and the approach of Renyi coincides with his ideas.
Glancing at Bai Jie beside him, Zhao Fusheng felt that today's negotiations should be quite smooth.
