Chapter 509: The Real Robbery [Six Changes]

Huang Ziqiang also saw that Lin Youlun was using the agitation method against Li Lianjie, and sighed very cooperatively and said: "Under normal circumstances, I should indeed go to Cheng Long to cooperate, but then I thought that if this movie goes to Cheng Long to cooperate, then it is likely to become no different from Cheng Long's other action movies, which deviates from my original intention of making this movie." ”

Lin Youlun nodded, "I understand, so you want to find an actor similar to Cheng Long to work with." ”

Huang Ziqiang looked at the silent Li Lianjie and said sincerely: "Mr. Li is the most suitable person in my mind, and after watching "Jingwu Heroes", my idea has become even stronger. ”

Chen Zhen, played by Li Lianjie in "Jingwu Heroes", has a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and what Huang Ziqiang needs to portray in this movie is such a policeman with a full sense of justice.

Li Lianjie seemed very cautious, and did not immediately agree to Huang Ziqiang, but wanted to find out what kind of story Huang Ziqiang wanted to shoot first.

"The plot of the film is not complicated, it is about the detective Hong Ye who has served in the police for many years and has made countless meritorious contributions, but he has not been promoted because he does not follow the law, when he is about to retire, he colluded with gangsters to kidnap a wealthy businessman and extort 60 million US dollars, the police sent the jealous and hateful Ajie to investigate and handle the case, and Hong Ye continued to make trouble, and led Ajie's investigation findings astray, and finally through the informant's investigation and secret visit, the real culprit behind the scenes was traced......"

Before Huang Ziqiang's story was finished, Lin Youlun couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Director Huang's script is adapted from the kidnapping case of Wang Dehui?"

As soon as Lin Youlun said this, Li Lianjie remembered the kidnapping case of Wang Dehui that caused a stir some time ago. Real estate tycoon Wang Dehui was kidnapped on his way home from a squash game at the Happy Valley Jockey Club. The kidnappers are not afraid of recording and listening to police calls. Moreover, they openly advertised in the "Sing Tao Daily" and "Oriental Daily" lines. Wang Dehui's wife was named to contact them, and then the ransom was handed over according to their method.

The most surprising thing is that Wang Dehui was kidnapped once in 1983, when he and his wife were both kidnapped while driving to work, Wang Dehui was taken hostage, and his wife was released to prepare a huge amount of ransom. It was only after Mr. Wang's wife remitted $10 million to a Taiwanese bank account that Mr. Wang was released.

The kidnapping case was a big deal. Because the kidnappers planned carefully and the case was complicated, it caused a sensation in Southeast Asia at that time.

What is incomprehensible is that after Wang Dehui was kidnapped, he didn't learn a lesson at all, and still went in and out of the apartment alone, not even bringing a single entourage, which is far from the situation where most rich people are hugged by bodyguards when they go in and out, which leaves an opportunity for the kidnappers to take advantage of later.

Wang Dehui was kidnapped again, and the method was almost the same as the last time. But this time Wang Dehui was not as lucky as the last time, after Wang Dehui's wife handed over a huge ransom to the kidnappers. Wang Dehui was not returned.

Later, according to the confession of the arrested criminals, they initially put Wang Dehui on a fishing boat that was constantly sailing on the high seas near Hong Kong, so as to prevent Wang Dehui from being located by the police, but after paying the ransom, Wang Dehui was not released for anything, and then whether he was dead or alive, even the kidnappers could not say.

What's even more unexpected is that one of the masterminds of this kidnapping case is actually a retired detective within the police, because he inadvertently looked through the case file of Wang Dehui's kidnapping 7 years ago, and found that the kidnappers' methods could be improved, and then made more hidden than before, and more difficult for the police to trace, so he had a bad intention, and then contacted the hand to plan the kidnapping case.

Although this kidnapping case was cracked, Wang Dehui did not see anyone alive or dead, and it became a surprise to the Hong Kong media and citizens.

Huang Ziqiang was inspired by this real event, and then he had the idea of the script for "Serious Crime Unit".

As soon as Li Lianjie heard that this incident involved real events, he couldn't help but hesitate again.

"Many Hong Kong movies are based on real events, and this has nothing to do with it, and Mr. Li does not need to worry about any adverse real-world impact of appearing in the movie."

When others said this, Li Lianjie estimated that he would be a little hesitant, but from these words coming out of Lin Youlun's mouth, a lot of worries in his heart were removed.

When Li Lianjie hadn't agreed to Huang Ziqiang, Lin Youlun then asked about another thing.

"I'm curious, who will play the role of Hong Ye?"

Huang Ziqiang has already determined that Lin Youlun is willing to invest in this movie at this time, and he has no worries about this issue, and it just so happens that Li Lianjie also wants to know who he will play against if he agrees to star in this movie.

"What does Mr. Lin think of Zheng Zeshi?"

Huang Ziqiang really said Zheng Zeshi's name as Lin Youlun remembered, but Lin Youlun frowned slightly.

Now that the protagonist of "Serious Crime Team" has changed from Cheng Long to Li Lianjie, should Zheng Zeshi's role also be changed? It's not that Zheng Zeshi's acting is not good, on the contrary, Zheng Zeshi's acting skills can definitely be regarded as first-class in Hong Kong, but his image tends to be gentle, and he is more honest, playing a police detective who has changed from good to evil, Lin Youlun always feels that he lacks something.

"Director Huang takes a fancy to Zheng Zeshi, and then I have an actor here who is not much with Zheng Zeshi, so I should make a reference for Director Huang."

When Lin Youlun first mentioned the word "weight", Huang Ziqiang and Li Lianjie didn't think in other directions, but when Lin Youlun said the word "Hong Jinbao", the two suddenly realized that Lin Youlun was referring not only to the weight of the two in the Hong Kong film industry, but also to the weight of the two.

Lin Youlun's idea is very simple, Li Lianjie and Hong Jinbao are both kung fu superstars, but they have never cooperated, Li Lianjie is in the prime of life, and Hong Jinbao has almost reached the most glorious end of his career as an actor, and now he doesn't create an opportunity for the two to have a showdown, is it possible to wait for one of them to be old, and the other is not as good as before, so what is the point of a late showdown?

Let Hong Jinbao and Li Lianjie play rivalry? Huang Ziqiang had never thought of this idea before, no matter how Hong Jinbao said it, he was also a former big brother in the film industry, and he was a two-time Academy Award actor, the so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and asked Hong Jinbao to play a villain, such an idea is estimated to be something that Lin Youlun can imagine, and only he can do it.

If you choose between Zheng Zeshi and Hong Jinbao, Huang Ziqiang will definitely choose Hong Jinbao, because Hong Jinbao is more suitable to play the detective in the film in terms of image and temperament, but if you look for Hong Jinbao to play, a new problem has arisen, that is, to find Hong Jinbao to play the villain, is Li Lianjie willing?

Or Li Lianjie plays the leading role, is Hong Jinbao willing?

is also a well-known kung fu actor in Hong Kong, and they must be competing with each other, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Longshi brothers are still like this, not to mention Li Lianjie.

Huang Ziqiang looked at Lin Youlun with some concern, whether Hong Jinbao could be persuaded to act in this movie, Huang Ziqiang now has no bottom in his heart.

Lin Youlun gave him a reassuring look, which meant that he could handle this matter, and then Huang Ziqiang looked at Li Lianjie again.

Li Lianjie is also struggling with contradictions in his heart at this time, from the heart, he is eager to have such a chance to have a showdown with Hong Jinbao, but he is also very worried that he will be compared to Hong Jinbao, not that his skills will lose to Hong Jinbao, but that Hong Jinbao makes him feel a lot of pressure in acting.

If the two are not opponents in the play, Li Lianjie probably will not have such hesitation, but in the movie "Serious Crime Unit", his role is relatively simple, but Hong Jinbao's role is very complicated, on the one hand, this will increase the difficulty of the actor's performance, and on the other hand, it will also provide more possibilities for the actor's acting skills.

Li Lianjie knows very well in his heart that even if this kind of thing is promoted by Lin Youlun, it is not easy to be able to promote it once, which means that if he is pressed down by Hong Jinbao this time, it will be difficult to have a chance to get it back in the future.

Li Lianjie was undecided, and Lin Youlun went to the side to make a phone call to Hong Jinbao.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is being filmed in the mainland, and Hong Jinbao is basically not in Hong Kong during this time, but it is a coincidence that he happened to come back for a trip in the past two days.

As soon as the phone was connected, Hong Jinbao's hearty voice came from the other end: "Mr. Lin, how do you know that I have been in Hong Kong for the past two days?" ”

Lin Youlun joked: "I said I guessed, does Mr. Hong believe it?" ”

Hong Jinbao smiled on the other end of the phone, and then asked what Lin Youlun had called him.

Lin Youlun kept hearing the voices of other people talking on Hong Jinbao's side on the phone, and Hong Jinbao should be very busy when he wanted to answer the phone, but there was not a trace of impatience in Hong Jinbao's tone.

Lin Youlun talked about the movie "Serious Crime Team" and wanted to find Hong Jinbao to play the role of the villain, and also mentioned that Li Lianjie may be the leading actor in the film.

Hong Jinbao was silent for almost half a minute, and then the murmur on the phone couldn't be heard, it should be that the people around him were driven away, or he changed to a quiet place.

Hong Jinbao took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

"Since Mr. Lin has spoken, then I will sell Mr. Lin's face!"

At about the same time, Li Lianjie also thought through his decision, and his answer was surprisingly consistent with Hong Jinbao.

"Mr. Lin asked me to act, then I will act!"

Hong Jinbao and Li Lianjie involuntarily avoided each other in the return, and it was not difficult to guess that the two were eager for a screen showdown, but at the same time they were worried that they would lose face if they lost, so they simply pushed everything on Lin Youlun.

In this way, the two are not acting in this movie for the sake of a showdown, and it naturally no longer matters who wins or loses. (To be continued......)
