Chapter 211: Donnie Yen's shock
Huateng International Hotel, in a suite.
Donnie Yen got up early in the morning and studied the script of "The Beauty of the Mountains" in the room.
Donnie Yen, who was born in 63, is 44 years old, 9 years younger than Cheng Long, and the same year as Li Lianjie.
starred in "Laughing Tai Chi" in 84 and made his debut, and then starred in many action movies, Cao Shaoqin in "New Dragon Gate Inn", and Nalan Yuanshu in "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" are all more classic supporting roles.
In 98, he also directed and acted in the remake of Li Xiaolong's classic movie "Tangshan Brother", and then played Changkong in "Hero", and played a supporting role in the Hollywood blockbuster "Blade 2".
"Seven Swords" Li Ming played him as the leading actor, and then took over Ye Weixin's three action films for three consecutive years, although "Slaying the Wolf" failed to be released in the mainland, but the market reputation is very good, and it is known as a classic action movie.
And this year, he took over Ye Weixin's fourth movie "Ip Man", and there is also another costume blockbuster "Jiangshan Beauty".
Li Lianjie, who also studied martial arts at Shichahai Martial Arts School in Beijing, has become an international superstar, and now he can only take on some medium-budget action movies.
What's the use of word of mouth!
Word-of-mouth can't buy the box office!
Compared with "Ip Man", Donnie Yen actually values "The Beauty of the Country" more, this is the second time he has starred in a costume production with an investment of more than 100 million yuan since "Seven Swords".
Coincidentally, this cooperation is still Li Ming!
There are not many costume films with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars a year, Donnie Yen has been analyzing the script in the hotel since he got Chen Kexin's reply, he is not afraid of martial arts, but literary drama has always been his weakness, if he does not play well and is overshadowed by Li Ming, it is really difficult to say who the actor will be at that time.
"Jingle bells... Jingle bell..."
The short ringtone interrupted Donnie Yen, who was studying the script, he took the mobile phone with his free right hand, and when he saw that it was Chen Kexin calling, he immediately sat up straight, "Hello Director Chen!"
It is rare for Donnie Yen, who has always been arrogant, to become so humble, if Liu Dong saw him like this, it would be unbelievable!
However, Chen Kexin's next words shocked Donnie Yen, and he stood up from the sofa with disbelief in his eyes.
"What?"
"The crew has decided to audition for Murong Xuehu again!" Chen Kexin on the other end of the phone repeated what he had just said, and the anger in his tone was obvious.
It took Donnie Yen to calm down after a while, he took a breath and asked uncertainly, "Director Chen, what's going on, why do you want to audition again?"
"I don't know, it was Cheng Xiaodong who vetoed all the actors in this audition, and Berner was not easy to refute, so he organized a new audition, but you can still audition again!"
"Director Cheng, does he have other people in his heart?"
Donnie Yen understood the crux of the problem after a little thought, it must be that Cheng Xiaodong has another candidate.
Then why didn't he just bring it up, but had to re-audition!
Wasn't that person among the actors who auditioned before?
"I don't know yet, he didn't propose his own candidate, you can come back in three days, even if he has other candidates, you may not have no chance!"
"That's okay, I'll go over in three days, thank you Director Chen!"
......
Donnie Yen said a few more polite words before hanging up the phone, clutching the phone with his right hand, his face full of haze.
The actor who got it actually flew!
Donnie Yen knows Chen Kexin's plan, which is nothing more than to use him and Li Ming to balance Cheng Xiaodong, as long as the two male protagonists are on the side of the producer, the director can almost be completely hollowed.
With the relationship between Li Ming and Chen Kexin, once Chen Kexin takes control of the crew, it is not certain who will be the male number one at that time.
Donnie Yen, who was originally vacillating between Chen Kexin and Cheng Xiaodong, didn't care about how to stand in line after thinking about it, the top priority at this time was to get the role of Murong Xuehu, and the rest would be talked about later.
Donnie Yen thought about it, picked up his mobile phone and made several calls in a row, asking someone to ask Cheng Xiaodong who he had been close to recently, and to figure out his potential opponent.
"Knock knock!"
Remembering the knock outside the door, Donnie Yen stopped his movements and stepped forward to open the door, and saw that Zhou Zhaolong was standing at the door.
"Aaron, come in!" Donnie Yen turned over to let Zhou Zhaolong in.
Seeing that he came in and didn't speak, Donnie Yen wondered, "Is there anything wrong with me?"
Zhou Zhaolong hesitated for a while, but still made up his mind, he smiled, "I'm fine, Brother Shan, didn't you say before that Director Chen Kexin invited you to play the leading role in "Jiangshan Beauty", has it been decided?"
Zhou Zhaolong looked envious, and his heart was uneasy, as if he was expecting something.
Donnie Yen was touched by the scar, and his face changed, but he didn't suspect anything, "Something happened to the crew, I need to audition again, I'll go again in two days!"
Zhou Zhaolong was shocked, Liu Dong really didn't lie to her, the original role was taken down by him.
However, he still had an angry look on his face, "Brother Shan, what's the matter, is Chen Kexin going back on his word!"
Seeing Zhou Zhaolong complaining about himself, Donnie Yen was also very pleased, he waved his hand and smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's normal to be cautious about this kind of big production, but it's just one more trip!"
Donnie Yen looks indifferent on the surface, but in fact, Zhou Zhaolong knows that things are far from simple.
Even if Liu Dong didn't tell him in advance, he knew that the matter that had been agreed upon orally was temporarily changed to mean that there was little hope for this matter.
Donnie Yen didn't want to continue the topic, and instead said, "How about Aaron, how did you audition for the crew of "The King of Kung Fu", this is a co-production with an investment of 500 million, and the opportunity is rare!"
"It's okay, it is estimated that there will be results in the next two days!" Zhou Zhaolong said casually, all he was thinking about now was what Liu Dong had said to him.
"I've also watched that role, it's very suitable for you, if you play it well, it will greatly improve you, if it weren't for the fact that I had already taken on two movies, Director Chen Jiashang invited me to audition for "Painted Skin", I would have been moved!" Donnie Yen smiled with a single smile.
"Hehe, Brother Shan, you're laughing, this is just a male No. 4 character, how can it be put in your eyes!"
Zhou Zhaolong got the answer, but he didn't want to stay longer, and left after chatting for a while.
Back in his room, he struggled for a long time.
If you fall into the well at this time and step on Donnie Yen's single foot, then your reputation will stink.
Donnie Yen is valued by those Xiangjiang directors and actors, and doing so is tantamount to offending them.
But!
Zhou Zhaolong thought about it for a long time, but decided to wait for the reply of the crew of "The King of Kung Fu".
If it happens...
Now the Xiangjiang movie is in the twilight......
