The craze caused by "Infernal Affairs" in Hong Kong has broken the record of Chinese-language films released in the past decade.

Zeng Yuanjiang, as the host of TVB, saw the good results of "Infernal Affairs", and he, as one of the leading actors, couldn't help but brag about it in the show, not only his own program, but also all the programs that invited him to participate, he would show off the box office results of "Infernal Affairs" in the mainland.

Although the release time of "Infernal Affairs" in Xiangjiang was a full week later than that in the mainland, and many people in Xiangjiang had already gone to Shenzhen to watch the film in advance, they still won 70 million in three weeks.

The reason why this result can still be sold is that the "Infernal Affairs" released in Hong Kong and Macao is the Cantonese version, even if the whole Guangdong is a Cantonese-speaking region, but it is also a Chinese version, and it is this factor that will make Xiangjiang people willing to buy tickets to enter.

After the completion of the second part, the crew only had a day off and entered the third phase of filming.

However, before filming, Li Zhifan took a special day to recruit new actors for the tricks needed in the third phase of filming.

When filming the first and second parts before, this kind of trick was used to contact at any time, anyway, there are Xiangjiang Actors Guild and TVB, and a car of group performances can be found with a phone call.

The reason why the third part made such an audition was actually a cooperation with TVB.

Because Zeng Yuanjiang was busy making movies, several episodes of his show were not recorded well, all of them were from the previous materials, and some new shots were added, and now "Infernal Affairs" is very popular, and TVB also took the opportunity to finalize this set of plans, and did a few episodes of "Infernal Affairs" amateur casting specials, with Zeng Yuanjiang, Li Zhifan, Chen Guanjun and Liao Feng as judges, and Zeng Yuanjiang is still the host, controlling the recording rhythm.

Auditions start early in the morning.

There were seven or eight cameras on the scene, a production team, and four Li Zhifan sat on a long table in the middle, all with microphones in front of them, and the words "Infernal Affairs 3" casting scene were simply written behind them, and in the open space in front of them, only a rectangular carpet was laid, and a radio microphone hung down from the roof.

Although it is said that it is an amateur audition, TVB will arrange some artists who have debuted to pretend to be amateurs to come in, most of these people have just signed with TVB for less than a year, and the best ones are only played in some dramas with few lines, and even most of them are playing some tricks without lines.

The first boy who came was such a character.

"Hello!" Zeng Yuanjiang took the lead in asking, "Have you ever had acting experience?"

"Yes!" The other party said bluntly, "I have made a cameo appearance in TVB before, but it is the kind of one without lines, I actually want to act very much, but TVB's artist contract is not so easy to sign, this time I heard about Director Li's casting, I wanted to try." ”

"Hmm!"

Zeng Yuanjiang looked at Li Zhifan, "Do you have anything to ask?"

Li Zhifan looked at his face and figure, looked at him for a while and said, "You are quite suitable for playing a policeman, because your face is more upright, come, play one for us to see!"

"Good!"

As soon as the boy said that, he instantly made a gesture of designing a gun, shouting: "Don't move! Raise your hands, I'm a policeman!"

Li Zhifan smiled, looked at Liao Feng, and asked him to make a comment.

Liao Feng spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's more deliberate, but it's enough to use it in TVB TV series, but your performance is not outstanding, have you watched the latest "Infernal Affairs"?"

"Look!"

The boy nodded again and again, "I like the role of Director Li Chen Yongren very much, and of course, Liu Jianming played by Brother Guanjun is also very good." ”

The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and Liao Feng continued: "Okay, you play the policeman who tracks Huang Sir, and let me see your level." ”

"Tracking?"

The boy thought about it, and suddenly walked up the field.

After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around again, turned his head secretly in a sneaky way, stared in one direction for a moment, and then turned and ran away.

Running back again, he pretended to stroke the headset and said, "Sir Liu, Sir Huang went upstairs...... OK！”

After speaking, he stood there and pretended to pick up a magazine, squinting in one direction while reading.

"Not bad!"

Li Zhifan took the lead in clapping his hands, "Stop! You are actually very talented, but you still need to work hard, the real acting skills are honed in filming, as a newcomer, the audition actually can't show anything too prominent, when you have accumulated a certain amount of experience in the drama, you can form your own unique style." Okay, let's go back and wait for news!"

"Thank you, Director Li!"

The boy smiled and nodded, "Thank you, seniors!"

The second to come in was a young boy with glasses.

He was a little dazed, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, which was fairly clean, but his shirt was a little wrinkled, and the pair of sneakers under his feet were very dirty, and the first impression was that he didn't pay much attention to this audition.

Zeng Yuanjiang took the lead in asking again: "Hello, do you know what type of movie we are?" What type of role do you want to play?"

Since it is explained that it is a supporting role, it must be two kinds of old boys or policemen.

Zeng Yuanjiang wanted to ask the same meaning.

But I didn't expect the man with eyes to put in his pocket, with a depressed expression, but he said in a very arrogant tone: "Of course it's the male protagonist, I heard that it's the double male protagonist, right? This third part of yours should be a prequel or something, right? I guess it should be Chen Yongren or Liu Jianming when he was young, right? I'll take that." ”

As soon as these words came out, the four people present were all confused, thinking: Boy, are you mistaken? We are not choosing a male lead!

Seeing that the four of them were staring at him and did not speak, the man with glasses frowned, and said in a loud voice: "Be happy, I'm in a hurry! Let's be clear, how long are you going to shoot? Three months? Or five months? Is there a salary of two million? For you who make movies, an actor with a salary of two million is not a thing, right? With these two million, I can buy a house and pay a down payment immediately, and I can sell a cheaper car for three or four hundred thousand yuan." Of course, if you're shooting for more than five months, or less than two million, I'll have to think about it. ”

Li Zhifan lowered his head, covered his mouth and smiled sneered, and pushed Zeng Yuanjiang to let him speak.

This young man should really open his mouth, and he actually wants two million?

It seems that I really think I can play the leading role, who is the key?

Based on what he said, it is estimated that it is impossible for someone to spend two million to ask him to play the leading actor in his life, unless that person is as stupid as him.

Zeng Yuanjiang's face was flushed, he didn't feel funny, but felt a little embarrassed, frowned and asked, "Young man, do you know how the actor's salary is calculated?"

"I know!" said the man with glasses, "I often watch entertainment news, and now the well-known first-line actors in the mainland are paid hundreds of millions? ”

Chen Guanjun took over the words with an expressionless face and asked, "What do you do?"

"I just graduated and don't have a job yet!"

The man with glasses didn't feel ashamed at all, but said proudly, "But some time ago, a senior introduced me to work in an Internet company, but the salary I was given was too low, and the probationary period was only 20,000 yuan, with my computer level, why not 60,000 or 70,000 yuan? ”

"Oh?" Li Zhifan finally held back a smile and looked up at him, "That's good, why don't you do it? Look at your eloquence, the online game anchor is very suitable for you!"

"My skills are too condescending to be a game streamer, right?"

The man with glasses said with a disgusted face, "My classmate made a plug-in some time ago, which is the TPS game that has been very popular recently, and it made 300,000 yuan directly from selling it to the mainland, and he spent two nights designing it." ”

"What about you?" Li Zhifan squinted.

"I guess I can do it in one night!"

The man with glasses was very domineering, "It's all small technology, it's very simple, and real gamers don't bother to get it." ”

Li Zhifan turned his face and coughed, and gave Chen Guanjun and Liao Feng a look, hoping that they would quickly say a few words to get rid of this person, and he opened his mouth to say how others and classmates were, but he never talked about himself, and his classmates were plug-ins, he still felt very honorable, this kind of person still wants to be a game person?

"What, you're excellent, we'll consider you!"

Liao Feng spoke at this time, and it was estimated that he would not be able to listen to it for a long time.

In the past few decades, he has witnessed the development and changes of Xiangjiang, including Xiangjiang people, the older generation of Xiangjiang people are hardworking and brave, but Xiangjiang people always want to get rich overnight in their bones...... Now to the younger generation of Xiangjiang people, there are still inspirational, but there are also this kind of waste youth in front of them, always feel that they "do what to do", but nothing has been done, so nothing has been achieved, the heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper, and I feel that no matter what industry I am in, I can be compared with the top people in the industry, and I can't do anything except gnaw the old.

"Don't be sloppy with me!"

The man with glasses actually said a word in Mandarin, and looked at Li Zhifan and said, "Director Li, you give me a clear sentence, can you or not, I'm really in a hurry, my friends are still waiting for me!"

"Uh!" Li Zhifan had to say to himself, "I'm sorry, we can't use your ......"

"Cut, waste my time!"

The man with glasses directly interrupted Li Zhifan and left.

The four people on the stage were dumbfounded again, they knew that this would be the case, so they drove him away directly, and listened to his nonsense for a long time.

On the side, the director of the TVB production team is happy.

This is the feeling of a variety show, with these funny people, this casting can have ratings, they are all auditioned at a glance, so what's the point?

Then a few more people came in, in order to prevent people like the glasses man from appearing again, Li Zhifan asked the people in the program team to guard the first post outside, and all the casting people reviewed it first to prevent strange people from mixing in.

But the program team agreed on the surface, but for the sake of the effect of the show, they wouldn't, and deliberately looked for strange things outside and arranged for early admission.

……

"That fitness instructor was good!"

"Well, there's also that female model, you can arrange the role of a female police officer. ”

A few people were chatting, and someone came outside again.

This time it was different, there were actually two people who came in.

A man who looked at Si Svenwen was also very wooden, wearing a large suit, his hair was combed in the middle, and he also had eyes, but he was wearing old black-framed glasses.

And the one who came in with him was an aunt, who should be over sixty years old, but she was still quite young, and I don't know what the situation was when the two of them came in together.

"Which of you wants to audition?"

Zeng Yuanjiang looked at the two of them and asked.

"Him!"

The aunt shook the man next to her, "He's my son, he's coming to audition." ”

"Oh!"

Everyone understood it all at once, it turned out that it was his son who came to audition, and he brought his mother here, which was really weird.

Li Zhifan glanced at the people in the program group, and the director over there nodded frequently to Li Zhifan, as if there was a hint, Li Zhifan didn't understand much, but he didn't care, anyway, people had already come in, and he still had to ask a few words according to the procedure, so he said: "Have you ever had acting experience?"

"Nope!"

The man didn't speak, but it was her mother who said for him, "Director, don't worry, my son is very obedient, acting, although he has no experience in this area, but he can learn!"

"Uh......"

Li Zhifan was speechless, leaned back on the chair with his arms crossed, and stopped talking.

Zeng Yuanjiang stepped up and looked at the woman with a smile: "Eldest sister, your son has no experience in this area, which makes us very embarrassed! or ......."

"Hey, don't just say no!"

The woman immediately said, "Can't you have a wife without sexual experience? Besides, it's just an errand, if he has to have experience, I don't have to bring him here!"

"Ugh!"

The four of them were dumbfounded again, Zeng Yuanjiang was speechless, and stretched out his hands at Li Zhifan, not knowing what to do.

Liao Feng replaced Zeng Yuanjiang and asked, "This mother, since it is your son who is the casting, let him say it himself, okay?"

"He doesn't need to say anything!"

However, the woman waved her hand and said, "This child has listened to me since he was a child, and he is used to it, and I will give him ideas about everything I say, and I will give him ideas on big and small things, and besides, he doesn't like to talk, especially when talking to strangers, so don't force him, just tell me anything." ”

The four of them gasped and ducked back in fear.

Why did we force him?

Even if it's Mom Bao, it's not like this, right?

At this level, you should go to the doctor, and you shouldn't come to filming.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, we don't have a suitable role for your child here!"

Li Zhifan breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "But I know the artist director of TVB, give you a business card, you go to him, if your child likes to act, you can let him start acting in TV series first." ”

"Huh?

The woman hesitated, "But TVB's salary is very low, I heard that they often deduct the artist's salary, and they don't even give living expenses, hey, forget it, since it is recommended by a big director, then I'll take him to try it!

The face of the program director on the side turned green, and looking at Li Zhifan's triumphant eyes, he couldn't help but give in.

However, Zeng Yuanjiang really copied the phone number of the TVB artist director to this mother, I am afraid that I will suffer from it immediately, but I don't know if this artist director has four Li Zhifan to talk to......
