Regardless of whether Zhao Zhenghao admits it or not, he will always be a rock singer in the hearts of rock fans in Dragon Kingdom!

Zhao Zhenghao's blood also flows with the blood of rock and roll, otherwise he would not have formed a "heroic" at the beginning, and the biggest purpose of establishing a band is to move the many classic rock songs he liked in his previous life to this world so that more people can like it.

Therefore, although in the past two years, Zhao Zhenghao and Cui Ran have not had much direct contact, because the rock elements of the "legendary" World Tour have decreased, and Cui Ran has not been invited to serve as the music director again this time, but the relationship between the two has been maintained very well, and every time Zhao Zhenghao returns to the capital, he will have a few meals with Cui Ran.

This time, although Cui Ran was riddled with miscellaneous matters, Zhao Zhenghao made a phone call, and Cui Ran was busy and forced out time to participate in this hot pot restaurant meeting.

Not long after Cui Ran arrived, Wu Hai also arrived, and when he entered the box, there were still fifteen minutes before the agreed meeting time.

This is Wang Bangmin, Wu Hai, these real actors who don't fight for popularity, only talk about strength, and the real principle of doing things, although they are invited to come by Zhao Zhenghao, a small character in the film industry, they will not take Qiao, they still do it according to the same way, and come to the meeting place in advance.

After all the staff arrived, Zhao Zhenghao did not talk to Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai about "Infernal Affairs" first, but asked the waiter to serve the food, and everyone ate for a round first.

After Zhao Zhenghao crossed over, in order to protect his throat, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol, which is also one of the reasons why he invited Cui Ran and Yan Yu to serve as a bridge of communication with Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai.

Eating hot pot in a hot pot restaurant, if you don't drink a little wine, it will inevitably be almost meaningless, Zhao Zhenghao can't drink it himself, so he can only ask for foreign aid.

Although Cui Ran and Yan Yu are also engaged in music, they are not singers on the stage, there is no need to protect their throats, and smoking and alcohol are not taboo.

Yan Yu has a good relationship with Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai, but his personality is a bit similar to Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai, they are all relatively dull, but fortunately, there is Cui Ran.

Cui Ran is a native of the old capital, when he was young, he was a famous stubborn lord in Sijiu City, he can speak well, make a wide range of friends, and have the demeanor of a big brother, although he and Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai do not have too deep friendships, but they are not strangers, and the age difference is not far away, and there are many common topics to talk about.

During the whole dinner, I saw Cui Ran pointing out the country with a wine glass, impassioned words, and recalling the beautiful and innocent era of the eighties and nineties in the world.

After a few glasses of wine, Yan Yu, Wang Bangmin, and Wu Hai, who usually don't talk much, also opened the chatterbox, looking back on the past, and were full of emotion.

The topics of several of them were all things when Zhao Zhenghao was born, Zhao Zhenghao couldn't interject a little, so he could only hold the wine bottle, take turns pouring wine for a few of them, and listen to them talk about the mountains with a smile, but he was also at ease.

Full of wine and food, Cui Ran completed the task and left first - he has been really busy these days, and this time he can come because of Zhao Zhenghao's face, and he takes time out of his busy schedule.

Yan Yu knew that Zhao Zhenghao would talk to Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai about the movie next, and he had nothing to do, so he would go first.

After sending Cui Ran and Yan Yu away, Zhao Zhenghao, Wang Bangmin, and Wu Hai returned to the table, removed the wine glass, replaced the teacup, and asked the waiter to make a pot of good red robes, and chatted while eating.

Wang Bangmin opened his mouth first and asked, "Ah Hao, how did you come up with the idea of writing such a script as "Infernal Affairs"?"

Zhao Zhenghao decided to make his third directorial work "Infernal Affairs", in addition to the original book of this movie, which impressed him, it was one of his favorite movies in his previous life, and at the same time met his requirements of balancing art and business, in other words, both awards and box office!

In addition, there is another reason why he will not tell outsiders, that is, this movie also pins on his little caution.

The name of "Infernal Affairs" comes from a passage in the nineteenth volume of the "Nirvana Sutra", "The Buddha said: Eternal immortality is the great calamity in the infernal hell." ”

The story of "Infernal Affairs" tells the story of two undercover agents, these two undercover agents, one is an undercover agent sent by the police to the gang, and the other is an undercover agent sent by the gang to the police.

Zhao Zhenghao is actually the same, he is not a person in this world, his soul belongs to another space, in this world, no matter how successful he is, how many people love him, how many applause and cheers, deep down, there will always be a place that is difficult for outsiders to enter, and he will not allow a second person to enter!

Although his situation is different from Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming in "Infernal Affairs", he does not need to bear the heavy psychological pressure of Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming.

However, in a world where you don't exist, playing an identity that doesn't belong to you is also in line with some of the superficial settings of "Infernal Affairs".

Zhao Zhenghao naturally wouldn't tell Wang Bangmin about these things, and said according to the excuse he had thought about a long time ago, "For a while, I was crazy obsessed with police and gangster movies in Xiangjiang, and I watched all the films I could find. ”

"When I started making films, I remembered the madness of that time, and I thought about whether I should make a story about the battle of wits between the police and the gangsters. ”

This thought has been in the back of my mind for several years, and I have continued to enrich its conception during this time. ”

"Brother Wang, Angkor, you all know that police and gangster films are a very important genre in Xiangjiang movies, and many good movies have emerged, and almost all the routines that can be filmed have been filmed. ”

"I'm a person, and I don't want to pick up people's teeth, I always want to add something new to my movies that others don't have!"

"One day, I suddenly thought that according to the general routine of the movie, the police planted undercover agents into the gangsters, and then the police, with the help of the police undercover, wiped out the gangsters, so is it possible that the gangsters also sent undercover agents to the police, this undercover gangster who entered the people, on the surface, was upright, but in fact engaged in crimes?"

As soon as this idea came out, it was out of control, I first checked the previous movies, and it didn't seem to have appeared such a routine, so I decided to use this idea as the core skeleton and make up a story. ”

"Later, while I was doing music, I looked up information and added flesh to the skeleton of the story, and it wasn't until some time ago that the whole story took shape in my mind and I wrote it. ”

"After the script was completed, I felt very satisfied and decided to shoot, and because in this movie, too much ink was put on the two male protagonists, not much ink on other supporting roles, and it was a bit of a waste for those very distinctive characters, and I took advantage of the time to write a prequel to it, and told the cause and effect of the whole story clearly!"

Wang Bangmin actually just asked casually, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhenghao to talk about such a big set, tell the ins and outs of this script, and finally mention its prequel.

When Wang Bangmin read the first script of "Infernal Affairs", he also did some homework on the background of the characters of Officer Huang Zhicheng and Brother Han Chenchen, which is a habit of him taking over movies, first of all, he must make a background portrayal of the characters he plays to help him better understand the characters.

Now that I heard that Zhao Zhenghao wrote the prequel to "Infernal Affairs", enriching the origin of the characters of the supporting characters in the first part of "Infernal Affairs", I couldn't wait to say, "Is it? Where is the script of the prequel?"

Wu Hai also showed a look of concern.

Zhao Zhenghao had been prepared for this, and hurriedly took out two scripts from his bag and handed them to them.

Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai took it and immediately buried their heads in it.

The two of them have already familiarized themselves with the script of the first part of "Infernal Affairs" and have an understanding of the relationship between the main characters in it, which is helpful for them to read the prequel to "Infernal Affairs", that is, the script of "Infernal Affairs 2".

At the moment, time is limited, and they did not carefully study the script of "Infernal Affairs 2", but they just took a general look at it, understood the content of the script, and focused on the parts that affect the character formation of the characters they want to play, and they are more interested in filming "Infernal Affairs".

"Infernal Affairs 2", although it is written as a prequel to "Infernal Affairs", it will definitely be released after "Infernal Affairs", these two movies have an obvious inheritance relationship, there is a gap of six or seven years between the stories, among the main characters, Huang Zhicheng and Han Chen are in the same vein, and it is unlikely to be replaced, so if they want to take over the filming of "Infernal Affairs", it is a good deal to buy one get one free!

What is commendable is that the sequel to "Infernal Affairs 2", the content, plot, and character portrayal of the story are not much inferior to the first one, and it can be regarded as a rare good script, breaking the curse of "sequels must be rotten" in the film industry.

Huang Zhicheng and Han Chen, in "Infernal Affairs", it is true that there is not much room for play under the backdrop of the two protagonists, but in "Infernal Affairs 2", there are many scenes of inner portrayal and ideological transformation, which can meet the requirements of acting schools such as Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai for portraying characters.

So, Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai did not hesitate any longer, and directly decided to take over the script of "Infernal Affairs", Wang Bangmin's role in the movie Huang Zhicheng and Officer Huang, and Wu Hai's role is the black boss Han Chen.

Being able to successfully invite powerful factions like Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai to join "Infernal Affairs" made Zhao Zhenghao overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.

Wu Hai waved his hand and said, "Ah Hao, you don't have to thank us, we want to thank you for writing such a script and creating such characters, I hope you can shoot it well!"

Zhao Zhenghao nodded and said, "I will do my best!" This time, I decided to ask Director Ding Duo Ding to serve as the producer of "Infernal Affairs" to help me check and let this movie not deviate from its proper taste. ”

Ding Duo is a big director from Xiangjiang, known for being good at making police and gangster films, and having him as the producer of "Infernal Affairs" can at least ensure that after "Infernal Affairs" is filmed, it will not be nondescript.

Although the director and actors of "Infernal Affairs" are mainly from the Dragon Kingdom, the background of the story is placed in Xiangjiang at the beginning of this century, so it is natural to have some characteristics of Xiangjiang, otherwise there will be big problems in the quality of the movie.

Hearing Zhao Zhenghao's words, Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai's hearts became more stable, and their confidence in "Infernal Affairs" increased by another point.

Of the four main characters of the film, three have been finalized, and the remaining one is the most important!

Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai, although they have agreed to take over the filming of this movie, after officially signing the contract in a few days, they will vacate the schedule and make every effort to prepare for the filming of the movie.

However, this schedule will not be extended indefinitely, so Zhao Zhenghao must finalize the remaining main candidate as soon as possible.

Zhao Zhenghao already had a clear goal, and he had already sent him an invitation, and handed over the script of "Infernal Affairs", but he didn't get a response from that person for a long time.

Just when Zhao Zhenghao was hesitating, whether to urge him, let the person make a decision as soon as possible, take the shot if he wanted to, and quickly change Zhao Zhenghao if he didn't want to take it, Wang Yulan called and said that he had received a call from the person's agent and asked to make an appointment to have an interview with Zhao Zhenghao.

This is the proper meaning of the question, Zhao Zhenghao responded in one bite, and the time and place were arranged by that person.

The response came quickly, and the man was also busy, and he only had time in the afternoon recently, and after today, he would fly to another place, and come back in a week.

Zhao Zhenghao had already made an appointment to accompany An Shuyi to visit Yu Yabin in a private resort on the outskirts of Beijing in the afternoon, but when he got the man's response, he had to temporarily change the itinerary and get the man done first.

He and An Shuyi have an old relationship, and they won't have any problems because of this.

The meeting place this time was in the man's studio, and Zhao Zhenghao arrived fifteen minutes early at the agreed time and was warmly welcomed by the man.

The man stretched out his hand and shook Zhao Zhenghao, and apologized with a smile, "Ah Hao, I'm sorry, I want you to run in person." ”

Zhao Zhenghao hurriedly waved his hand, "Yes! Brother Guo, I should have made an appointment to sit down with you and have a good chat, but I have been busy and can't spare time." ”

Zhao Zhenghao came to see this time, named Guo Ziping, is now eight years Chinese New Year's Eve old, but he has been famous for more than ten years, and he is a representative of the Mesozoic actors in the Dragon Kingdom.

In his early years, Guo Ziping was born as a TV drama actor, and as soon as he debuted, he starred in several popular TV series one after another, establishing the status of a first-line niche.

Later, he moved to the big screen, and his achievements were also remarkable, so far, the total personal box office has accumulated as high as 20 billion, which is the most outstanding among the male actors of his generation!
