"Are you serious?"

Liu Tianwang was stunned for a moment, looking at Ding Cheng's appearance not like a joke, and said in surprise: "Of course I can't ask for it!"

"I also have artistic pursuits, okay?" Ding Cheng scolded with a smile: "You can't make enough money in a lifetime, it's a pity to miss out on good works and favorite roles, right?"

Liu Tianwang is very happy, in all fairness, he really didn't plan to let Ding Cheng act, the 20 million salary is not a joke, to be honest, the commercial value is higher than that of his so-called king!

"In this way, your salary is 50% shares, and how about a co-producer at the end?"

Ding Cheng waved his hand, it must be an unprofitable business, and it doesn't matter what name he puts on.

The main thing is that the script is good, and the old CID played by himself is very challenging, and now it is impossible to go all the way to the box office, so he has really become a businessman!

The most important thing is the theme, which is particularly profound, like an incomparably sharp scalpel, cutting through all the hidden problems of Hong Kong Island at once, and completely exposing it to the sun.

Adapted from a real case, Wang Jiamei, a sixteen-year-old girl from southern Hunan, followed in the footsteps of her mother and sister who had remarried, and the new and unfamiliar environment made her feel out of place, and her relationship with her family gradually became tense.

Dreaming of becoming a model, she entered the industry as an assistant, tasted the bitter and sweet, lost her nature, and finally sold her body to make money.

Until one day I met Ding Zicong, a fat boy with a tragic childhood experience, and the fate of the two changed in the direction of tragedy at the same time......

PLAYING THE ROLE OF ZANG SIR IN CHARGE OF THE CASE, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A THIRD PARTY, RE-EXAMINING THE STORY OF THE TWO, LIKE TWO RIVERS OF SORROW, WHICH FINALLY CONVERGE INTO THE WATER OF THE YELLOW SPRING MIXED WITH BLOOD AND TEARS......

As a director, Weng Ziwen was even more surprised, he never dreamed that Ding Cheng would be willing to star in his own work?

"Don't worry, at most a month!" for fear of long nights and dreams, he hurriedly promised: "Shoot your scene first, and you will definitely not delay ......"

"You have to shoot it well!" Ding Cheng suddenly interrupted him and said seriously: "Because your work attracts me, you must take it seriously, otherwise it will be a waste, understand?"

Seeing the director leave, Liu Tianwang looked at Ding Cheng and quipped: "How does it feel to be your own boss?"

"Tired!"

Ding Cheng sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and sighed, "I'm tired!"

"Hahaha......" Liu Tianwang couldn't help but laugh, it was rare to see this kid deflated, and joked: "Now you understand the benefits of working boys, right?"

"Listen to my advice: money is ......"

"You'll never run out!"

Liu Tianwang said earnestly: "Mixed into our realm, food and clothing are worry-free, and it can be regarded as financial freedom, and not being too tired alive is the most important thing!"

Ding Cheng nodded and asked rhetorically, "That's why you voted for this type of movie?"

"Hey, there's no way!" Liu Tianwang complained: "I don't vote, you don't vote, he doesn't vote, who will vote?"

"Except for me, only Gu Zai is willing to vote for a few new works every year, Zhang Jiahui doesn't like to vote for other people's things, and plays all by himself, and the result is ......"

"It's getting harder and harder for newcomers to get ahead, especially on Hong Kong Island, where there is a lot of competition and a lot of competition. The mainland is better, after all, there is a lot of money, and there is always a time to get ahead after a few years. ”

"Look here, young people run around every day to get enough to eat, not to mention their dreams......"

"It's not easy to even live!"

Ding Cheng's words reminded him of the days when he was running tricks, surrounded by peers who were shouting about chasing their dreams, but they actually had to get by.

Work for a day, earn money for a day, get drunk and dream of death in an Internet café, and live a day is a day.

Call it by fine-sounding name of:

Living in the moment?

In this story, Jiamei's mother married an old man who only ate and drank on a two-square-meter bed for the sake of immigration status, turning her into a Hong Kong drifter who had nothing in the flower season.

Maybe compared to another well-received work last year, starring Ren Dahua and Ah Sa, it is lucky that it was not violated, right?

"Don't underestimate the director, he is an official member of the Film Critics Association, a standard poisonous tongue!"

Liu Tianwang explained: "Very ambitious young people, there are many movies adapted from bloody cases, and there are also many works about urban legends that attract attention. ”

"But it's the first time I've seen this kind of film genre that grafts the Hong Kong-style style that is crazy and crazy with literary films, don't you think it's very special?"

Ding Cheng agrees with this feeling, if you want to talk about Hong Kong Island movies, there has never been a shortage of very bloody and violent strange cases selling meat films. From Gui Zhihong, Cheng Gang, and Sun Zhong in the 70s to Wang Jing and Deng Yancheng in the 90s......

What is hiding a corpse at the bottom of the stove has always been a frequent visitor to the midnight show, but almost no director would have thought that there were other ways to shoot this genre.

Weng Ziwen is very special, and he doesn't even plan to shoot suspense thrillers well, he let the murderer be arrested and confessed at the beginning, and the audience will know the result when they come up. On the contrary, what awaits the girl at the end of fate can only be the thick hands that choke the throat and the cold knife light.

The suspense stalk is directly broken!

But there is still a long time left for the movie, how to pass it?

Turn the white-haired sloppy old CID into a marionette in his hand, and use this character to continue to investigate the case and say what he wants to express.

It's a novelty,

It's also bold!

"Spring and summer are the most spiritual newcomers I've seen in recent years!"

"And the fat boy!"

Liu Tianwang took out a photo of the two and showed it to Ding Chengdao: "Look at her big eyes, is it the living Wang Jiamei?"

Ding Cheng looked at the makeup photo, with a pair of big eyes full of loneliness on his slightly pale face.

The youthful romance that should have belonged to the sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season,

Only emptiness and confusion remain.

A pair of lines that don't need to be spoken,

Eyes that can speak on their own.

And the murderer Ding Zicong, a local youth, a dead fat house in the mouth of outsiders, has a withdrawn and unruly personality, a strong desire to suppress in his heart and the changes in his young family due to a car accident......

On a seemingly indifferent face,

Full of details that are suppressed and can't be cathartic!

I have to say that just looking at the photos, both of them are faces with stories, which makes people feel an urge to understand their hearts.

suddenly understood Liu Kaihua's position, from the perspective of the investment boss, it is indeed different from being an actor.

Through years of experience, discover good scripts, find good new directors, and see potential new actors.

If you are an actor, the sense of accomplishment may be to complete a certain role and thus get the audience's recognition and like.

But as a film company owner, the sense of accomplishment has become finding the most suitable person for the role in the vast sea of people.

Need more experience,

Richer life experience,

More complex evaluation systems......

Or even look at the face?

The change of role made Ding Cheng feel that a door was slowly opening in front of him......

Like a Pandora's box,

You never know what's hidden inside?
