Chapter 527: Three Heroines [Five Watches]
Lin Jianyue put down the phone, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his nose had a stubborn look, but his lips drooped slightly, as if he was hesitating about something.
Xu Ke just called and said that the script of "Three Heroes of the East" had been negotiated, which was good news, but Lin Jianyue felt strange in his heart.
The story idea of "Three Heroes of the East" was bought from Du Qifeng, which Xu Ke did not hide from Lin Jianyue, and at the same time he also told Lin Jianyue that Du Qifeng sold the story idea to him after obtaining Lin Youlun's consent.
It was agreed by Lin Youlun again...... This is the same as the situation before the filming of "Zhu Xian: Qingyun Tribulation", which means that Lin Youlun is not optimistic about this movie.
Xu Ke specially explained that this time he fell in love with the story first, and then Lin Youlun had no interest in the story, so things went so smoothly.
Lin Jianyue has been secretly telling himself that he must use people without suspicion, but the more this is the case, the more he feels in his heart that he is picking up what Lin Youlun has left when he invests in making this movie.
However, since he has agreed to Xu Ke, Lin Jianyue has no reason to refuse, and "Three Heroes of the East" is Xu Ke's best martial arts action movie, Xu Ke has no reason to smash his own signboard, so this film will never lose money.
Xu Ke didn't expect that a very simple thing would be thought of by Lin Jianyue as complicated, and after telling Lin Jianyue that the script was ready, he began to think about which three actresses to find to star in this movie.
Among the three heroines, Dongdong seems to be powerless, and is completely a typical traditional Chinese woman with a good wife and mother, but in fact she is like the superhero in American comics, Batman. Every night he goes out to do chivalry.
this role. Xu Ke's first thought was Zhong Chuhong. is really because "Legend of the Night" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Zhong Chuhong is simply the best choice to play this role.
However, Xu Ke immediately rejected this idea, the reason is very simple, because of the relationship between Zhong Chuhong and Lin Youlun.
Next, Xu Ke thought of Lin Qingxia again, but he still felt that it was inappropriate, first, Lin Qingxia had too many film appointments, and it was estimated that he would not have time to shoot this drama; Second, Lin Qingxia is said to be Lin Youlun's godsister, and she has this relationship. Presumably, Lin Qingxia will also have a lot of concerns when she takes over the filming of this drama.
After thinking about it again, Xu Ke crossed Lin Qingxia's name off the shortlist.
Then the actresses who are suitable for this role and have a certain degree of fame and appeal are only Zheng Yuling and Mei Yanfang, the advantage of these two people is that they are not too deeply entangled with Lin Youlun, and the disadvantage is that they have no experience in acting in action movies.
In the end, Xu Ke chose Mei Yanfang, because Mei Yanfang straddles the music and film worlds, and her popularity is higher than that of Zheng Yuling.
Xu Ke's second consideration was the role of Chen Qi.
In the story, the character of Chen Qi is self-willed, longs for freedom, and acts dissolutely. On the surface, it is vulgar and philistine, but in fact it is delicate and affectionate. After several catastrophes, he was still lucky to survive.
In "Three Heroes of the East", the role of Chen Qi is something Xu Ke likes very much, and this role is also the most testing of acting skills.
After a round of screening, Xu Ke finally targeted Zhang Manyu, who won the Golden Statue with Zhong Chuhong this year, although Zhang Manyu and Zhong Chuhong are well-known good friends in the circle, but they are not too involved with Lin Youlun, and she should not have any worries about looking for her to act in this play.
The most headache for Xu Ke is the role of Chen San.
This is a complex and contradictory woman in the inner world, helping her father-in-law to do evil while also deeply blaming herself, once stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate herself, but fortunately she finally defeated herself, and fought side by side with two partners who were originally different paths, and smashed the Demon Palace.
A large part of the action scenes in the film focus on this character, so it is necessary to find a female star who can fight.
Don't look at Hong Kong kung fu movies are so prosperous, but beating women has always been a scarce resource, and the most capable Hui Yinghong has become less famous than before in the past two years, and her age is not young, it is obviously not suitable to partner with Mei Yanfang and Zhang Manyu, and then other beating women either do not meet the requirements, or they are already married.
Xu Ke was sitting in the living room with a pen and paper, and was having a headache about this matter, Shi Nansheng walked in with a newspaper, and said to himself when he sat down: "Alas, another pair!" ”
"What?" Xu Ke was talking to Shi Nansheng and raised his head and asked.
"I said I'll be in the news today." Shi Nansheng spread out the newspaper in his hand, "Pan Disheng and Yang Ziqiong left again after 2 years of marriage, and the Hong Kong media is really gossipy, and they dare to put any news in the newspaper, saying that Yang Ziqiong can't have children, and that Yang Ziqiong and Pan Disheng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony...... There's all sorts of mess. ”
Xu Ke didn't have much interest in this kind of news, and with an "oh" sound, he continued to lower his head and think about his own affairs, but less than three seconds later, he suddenly raised his head again.
"You said that Yang Ziqiong and Pan Disheng are divorced?"
"Didn't you even listen to me just now?" Shi Nansheng looked at Xu Ke with a strange expression.
"No, I was thinking about other things just now, and then I didn't particularly care, the two of them are really divorced?" Xu Ke asked this question again.
Shi Nansheng handed the newspaper to Xu Ke, "Read it yourself!" ”
Xu Ke took the newspaper, and the first thing he saw was a copy of "Oriental Daily", and he actually believed it in his heart.
The news published in the three major newspapers in Hong Kong will be strictly reviewed, and it is rare for fake news to be published, especially in the divorce of celebrities like this.
Despite this, Xu Ke still read the news in the newspaper seriously.
After taking back the newspaper from Xu Ke's hand, Shi Nansheng asked: "You said that Pan Disheng this time, is it considered to be a loss to his wife and a soldier?" ”
When Yang Ziqiong was still on the Miss Malaysia pageant, Pan Disheng began to pursue her fiercely, and after Yang Ziqiong fulfilled her obligations as Miss Malaysia and removed this title, Pan Disheng first asked her to go to Hong Kong to shoot a commercial for the watch she represented, and then simply invested in a film company and asked Yang Ziqiong to film.
It took more than four years for Pan Disheng to marry Yang Ziqiong.
At that time, Debao Film Company stopped production, Xinbao Cinema Line was acquired by Jiayi Cinema Line, Pan Disheng's investment in movies can be said to be a complete failure, but not many people laughed at him, but many people envied Yang Ziqiong.
Because everyone thinks that Pan Dashao's investment in movies at the beginning was for the sake of the favor of Bojiaren, and when he married Yang Ziqiong, his main purpose has been achieved, as for the failure of investing in films, Pan Disheng's main business was not this in the first place, and if he left it, he would have left it behind, but it was a pity that Debao Film Company, after Shaw Brothers, had the opportunity to become a three-legged existence with Golden Harvest and New Art City, but it lost to Lin Youlun, who had sprung up.
It is said that to evaluate a person's height, it depends on what kind of position his opponent is in, look at what Lin Youlun has done over the years, and everyone doesn't think that Pan Disheng is so humiliating to lose to Lin Youlun.
If you change to someone else, you may not be able to do better than Pan Disheng.
But now all this has changed with the divorce of Pan Disheng and Yang Ziqiong.
The wife who took so much effort to marry left like this, which means that all Pan Disheng's actions in the film industry back then have become complete failures, and the Hong Kong media rarely has such an opportunity to watch the jokes of wealthy families, so many old things have been turned over, and there are all kinds of theories.
Shi Nansheng scoffed at all kinds of statements in the newspaper about the breakup of Pan Disheng and Yang Ziqiong, in her opinion, a strong woman like Yang Ziqiong let her rest at home to be a full-time Kuotai, a day or two is okay, she will definitely not be able to bear it after a long time, and divorce will naturally become an inevitable thing.
Xu Ke didn't care about Pan Disheng and Yang Ziqiong's divorce, an idea just popped up in his mind, since Yang Ziqiong is no longer the identity of a wealthy woman, can she come out to film again?
Shi Nansheng was also surprised at first when she heard Xu Ke's idea, but she immediately reacted that this was indeed a good opportunity.
Then after thinking about it carefully, Shi Nansheng found that it was not easy.
"Yang Ziqiong and Pan Disheng announced their divorce, and then immediately returned to filming, I think even if she doesn't consider the face of the Pan family, she should still have some other concerns, right?"
Xu Ke has his own opinion on this matter, "I think that since Yang Ziqiong can resolutely divorce Pan Disheng, in fact, the biggest concern about returning to filming is gone, let's contact her first, I'm worried that if the action is late, others will take the lead." ”
"There's nothing to worry about here, do you think there will be anyone else besides you who wants to film with her now?" Shi Nansheng said unhurriedly.
Xu Ke was a little puzzled, "Yang Ziqiong has only been out of the film for more than two years, and Hong Kong has always lacked female stars who can play, if she releases the news to prepare for a comeback, there should be many people looking for her to film." ”
"But you forget, she did one thing before she died, and then offended someone."
Shi Nansheng reminded him like this, Xu Kerang suddenly remembered that when Lin Youlun and Hong Jinbao co-produced the movie "Lin Sheng and Mrs. Lin", the hero and heroine were not him and Li Zhi at the beginning, but Liang Chaowei and Yang Ziqiong, but something happened, Yang Ziqiong not only refused to appear in this movie, but Debao also changed some of the content in this script and used it to start filming another film, which angered Lin Youlun.
After Pan Disheng's investment in the film industry failed, Yang Ziqiong chose to retire from filming, partly because of this incident, she could no longer gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry. (To be continued......)
