Chapter 5 Why don't you go to HK?
"Martial Arts Liang Zhu", directed by Ma Chucheng.
Coupled with Liu Yifei, Xu Hui will soon think of "Sword Butterfly".
It's complicated to explain, probably because Liu Yifei got close to Huayi at the beginning, and once came to the situation where he was about to sign a contract, Huayi directly gave her two movies and a TV series in order to welcome Liu Yifei, who was the most popular in those years, the TV series is "The Condor Heroes", and the movie is "The King of Kung Fu" and "Martial Arts Liang Zhu"!
Later, the two sides blew it, and the project of "Martial Arts Liang Zhu" was packaged and sold by Ma Chucheng, and the actors were replaced by Wu Zun and Cai Taiyan, and the name was also changed, what is it called "Sword Butterfly"!
No, isn't there no old monster Xu in this time and space? How can there be "Martial Arts Liang Zhu"?
"Brother Wen, who directed the old version of "Liang Zhu"?"
Xu Hui asked pretending not to care.
"There is no old version, this is the most ordinary folklore, 'eighteen phases send-off', 'butterflies flying'..."
Huang Wen glanced at Xu Hui with a strange look, and the latter hurriedly diverted the topic: "Are you sure Liu Yifei will participate in this movie?"
Regarding "The Condor Heroes", Zhang Jizhong said in an interview that he hoped that Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi would star, Huang Xiaoming was just a spare tire, and there were big production movies and TV series in the mainland that they all wanted to be played by Hong Kong and Taiwan actors at the beginning...
"This is a gift that our Huayi prepared for her, and her partner is Gu Tianluo..."
Huang Wen is very sure of this.
"But..."
Xu Hui struggled for a long time, but still said truthfully: "I heard that Liu Yifei is quite difficult to get along with, and she doesn't want to join Huayi..."
"What did you hear from that?"
Huang Wen glanced at him strangely, and then said: "She starred in "The King of Kung Fu", can she go to another company?"
After accepting all the gifts, do you dare to turn your face and deny people?
“…”
Xu Hui smiled, didn't talk much, thought about Liu Tianxian, who was pasted into a third-line in later generations, and estimated that she never thought that "The King of Kung Fu" was already her peak!
"Don't just laugh, what do you think of this play?"
After all, it is Xu Hui's big screen debut, and Huang Wen is very concerned.
"What can I think? However, Director Ma Chucheng may not be willing to use me, right?"
“… Why do you say that?"
"I'm not from HK, I guess even if he lets me join the group, at most I will play a villain. ”
However, in recent years, mainland actors can only play some roles such as anti-No. 1 and No. 2 male under Director HK.
"What's wrong with the villain? Many actors start their fame with the villain, isn't Wu Yanzu also famous because of the villain in "New Police Story"!"
“… Then I might as well act in an idol drama!"
Xu Hui is not very satisfied with Huang Wen's statement, what's wrong with playing a villain, my image is so good, why should I play a villain?
No, did Ma Chucheng really let me play a supporting role: "You have already received an audition notice?
“… That's right, didn't you say that you can play a supporting role?"
Huang Wen was a little embarrassed, and the two tailor-made film projects that he said were replaced with supporting roles, and whoever he replaced would not be happy.
Xu Hui Who said that he could play a supporting role, but it depends on who he lifts his shoes, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, no problem, why does Gu Tianlu have?
And the project of "Martial Arts Liang Zhu" can basically come to an end!
“… Forget it, I'm not going to join in the fun, by the way, didn't you say that "The Wind" has started casting? Leave me a role!"
"But "The Wind" won't start filming until September, what are you doing during this time?"
"You are my agent, you help me arrange it!"
"Recently, Wu Baige's "Red Cliff" is being filmed, otherwise I will help you contact and see if you can find a suitable role. ”
"Don't be, I don't really like director Taiwan. ”
Xu Hui didn't think about it, and directly rejected Huang Wen's proposal.
In his previous life, the reason why Xu Hui never became a director was because he was a mainlander, and he could only serve as an assistant director all along!
Moreover, everyone in the circle knows that Wu Baige typically looks down on mainland actors.
"Red Cliff" Zhao Weineng was used by him to praise Lin Zhilin;
"Flying Tiger" Liu Huohua can be used by him to praise Zhao Youting and Ruan Jingtian;
"Rain of Swords" would rather find a Korean to be the starring role than give mainland actors a chance;
If you want Xu Hui to hold his stinky feet, dream about it!
"That's... I'll arrange for you to go to HK? There are more directors over there, maybe you can act..."
"Brother Wen, do you think it's possible? Brother Xiao Ming can only play a supporting role or a villain, can I have a chance to play the leading role?"
Huang Xiaoming played Chen Guanxi and Ren Xianqi in "Sharpshooter", Hu Ge accompanied Wu Zun in "Sword Spy", Wu Jing played the villain in Hong Kong action movies, Fan Bingbing played a vase in HK movies again and again, and carried a sedan chair for Zhang Baizhi and twins, obviously more beautiful than you and handsome, and his acting skills are better than you, but you are the protagonist, just because you are from Hong Kong and Taiwan!
It's embarrassing, except for Feng Xiaogang, the three major domestic directors don't use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors since last year's "Assembly", Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige feel that Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are more foreign than our mainland!
In those years, all the national teachers were actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan (except for Li Lianjie), and it would be good for mainland actors to play villains.
Although Liu Huohua has long been a Golden Horse actor, "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" is also very popular in RB, "Blood Romance", "What to Save You and My Love" are also word-of-mouth productions of TV series, but our film directors can't look down on it, and feel that mainland actors are not high! Chen Kaige's "Wuji" asked him to play a character who betrayed his own people 'ghost wolf', and Zhang Yimou's "The City is Full of Golden Armor" asked him to play a prince who cheated on the queen, and the role was cowardly and unpleasant!
Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet", Wu Yanzu plays the second male lead, Huang Xiaoming plays the third male lead, this "Night Banquet" male third is still a big gift from Feng Xiaogang to Huang Xiaoming to sign a contract with Huayi, it's really ironic!
Who is the male number one, Uncle Ge, it is said that in the Chinese commercial films of those years, the mainland actor who can play the male number one is Uncle Ge.
Can Xu Hui compare with Huang Xiaoming?
Can you compare with Liu Huohua?
He is an idol, a little fresh meat, whether it is in his past life or in this life, he has no acting experience at all!
“… I mean, if we hone in a few more years, we will always come out! Think about it, isn't Andy Lau honed in this way!"
"Hehe, Brother Wen, if I were a HK person, I would definitely do what you wanted, but I'm not!"
Huang Wen certainly understood the meaning of Xu Hui's words.
This inequity has a long history.
But no one can do anything about this kind of thing, they themselves are more experienced than us, and the audience likes them - at least a circle of film and television bigwigs in the mainland think the audience likes them!
Xie Tingfeng's first movie debut was the leading actor, Huang Xiaoming moved to the big screen, but he could only play a third male and a second male!
If you want to say that Xie is better than Huang Xiaoming, then I can only repay him.
Huang Wen thought about it for a while, and then suggested, "Or... This year, we have filmed 19 TV series in Huayi, and I think the good ones are "My Leader, My Group", "Snail House" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", we can all try it, just hone our acting skills!"
"Brother Wen, this is the script I wrote, you can help me see if there is any investment value. ”
Xu Hui did not answer Huang Wen directly, but took out a stack of scripts, on which three big characters were clearly written "Embroidered Spring Knife"!
