Chapter 487: The Frustrated Man [Second Update]
At the food stall, Wu Zhenyu raised his hand, "Boss, two more bottles of beer!" ”
"Hey, you're trying to get me drunk, aren't you?" Huang Qiusen looked at Wu Zhenyu helplessly.
There were already more than a dozen empty wine bottles on the table in front of the two, but Wu Zhenyu waved his hand nonchalantly, "I said that I would help you celebrate today, how about not drinking more?" ”
"Celebrate that I finally put down the actor's shelf and took the initiative to make green leaves for others, right?" Huang Qiusen glanced at Wu Zhenyu angrily.
Wu Zhenyu patted the table, "Hey, you can't say that, okay, you said it yourself, an actor has been in decline for three years, and now two years have passed, if you don't come out to film again, everyone will soon forget about you, okay?" ”
Wu Zhenyu didn't mention this, but it was even more depressed when he mentioned Huang Qiusen.
"That's what I said, but you don't need to say it on the show, do you? It was a very glorious thing to win an award at the Academy Awards, but you said it was so miserable, if I can't continue to win awards at the Academy Awards in the future, I will definitely be harmed by you. ”
Wu Zhenyu picked up a bottle of wine and took two sips, put it down and said, "You are not satisfied with taking an actor?" ”
"You should ask Zhou Yanfa and Xu Guanwen about this, they can be shortlisted almost every year, according to you, aren't they insatiable?" Huang Qiusen pursed his lips, picked up a bottle of wine and drank it.
"At least I helped you increase your exposure."
"Cut, I might as well find a female star to make a drag, so it's easier to get in the newspaper." Huang Qiusen waved his hand angrily, "If you say this, the judges of the Academy Awards will feel it in the future." This Huang Qiusen is very crazy. Since he was afraid of winning the prize. Then give the prize to someone else. ”
Wu Zhenyu bumped the wine bottle in Huang Qiusen's hand with the wine bottle in his hand, comforted him and said: "Okay, although the reviews of the "Crazy Boy" series of movies are not very good, but you also know that this movie is very popular now, and I finally asked the director to help you get a role, so don't pick and choose, play black. Society is better than playing an ogre, right? ”
Huang Qiusen took a sip of stuffy wine. He said, "If you're awesome." Help me find another play that can surpass the previous role, the role in "Crazy Boy", whoever likes to play whomever plays. ”
Wu Zhenyu shrugged, "There are no bad movies, only bad actors, and you also told me." ”
Huang Qiusen waved his hand, "Okay, don't talk about it, drink!" ”
Wu Zhenyu suddenly said mysteriously: "Actually, you don't have to be so depressed, there is an opportunity now." ”
Huang Qiusen was not very interested. "If it's still a movie like "Crazy Boy", forget it, I can't keep messing around like this, right?"
This time it was Wu Zhenyu's turn to be depressed. "Hey, can't you have some confidence in me?"
Huang Qiusen burped, still looking at Wu Zhenyu with a lack of interest, "And then?" ”
"I'm convinced!" Wu Zhenyu made a gesture of please, "Have you heard of the movie "The Hangover"? ”
Huang Qiusen tilted his head and tried to recall, "Is it the one that Mr. Lin played with Huang Zhan and Cai Yan?" ”
"Looks like you're still very well-informed." Wu Zhenyu nodded.
"In order to shoot this film, they ordered hundreds of dance ladies in a nightclub in Macau, and this matter was in the newspapers, can I not know what to do?" Huang Qiusen felt speechless.
Wu Zhenyu explained: "That's just news for the promotion of the film, of course this is not the point I want to tell you, the premiere of this movie is the day after tomorrow, I received an invitation, and then you can bring a companion, do you want to come with me then?" ”
Huang Qiusen grabbed the bottle and drank two sips, put it down and said, "I heard it right, right? You can also receive invitations, you won't be invited to fill up, right? ”
"Whatever you say, anyway, I only know that I will have the opportunity to meet Mr. Lin when I go, should someone think that they have won an actor, and then they will be remembered by everyone for a lifetime, right?"
Wu Zhenyu's words seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact, he said that Huang Qiusen had heard it.
"You don't have to provoke me, don't you just want me to go with you?"
Wu Zhenyu reopened a bottle of wine, raised it and said, "I only ask you, do you dare to go?" ”
Huang Qiusheng put the wine bottle on the table, "Just go, won't I be able to shoot you?" ”
"Come on, let's dry this bottle together!"
——
"Okay, you drink less."
Zhou Yanfa stopped Lin Lingdong, who was about to continue pouring wine into the cup, and the two sat in a Western restaurant, with a small stage separated by two tables, and several people were playing Western music there, including the saxophone that Lin Lingdong was very familiar with.
Ten years ago, Lin Lingdong, who was living in Canada, decided to return to Hong Kong, and the plane stopped in San Francisco, so he went to Chinatown alone, and then he heard a saxophone song on the side of the street, and thought that one day he would use it as the soundtrack for his own movie - at that time, the Hong Kong movie "Xin. The "wave" is booming, new directors have come to the fore, and Lin Lingdong also has great confidence in his upcoming film career in Hong Kong.
It's a pity that things didn't go as smoothly as Lin Lingdong imagined, he thought that he had been famous in the TV circle, and this time he returned from overseas gilding, and he would definitely be able to show his strength after returning to Hong Kong, but he didn't expect people to go tea and cool, and after coming back, he didn't get special attention from any film company, and finally entered the new art city through Xu Ke's introduction, and then waited for two years before he got the opportunity to direct the first movie "Yin and Yang Wrong".
Although the response to that movie was very good, Lin Lingdong didn't feel that there was anything to be proud of, because he was just in charge of making this movie, replacing the original disobedient director Liang Zhipu, and all the filming was done in strict accordance with the requirements of the "seven-person team" of Xinyicheng, nominally the director, but in fact he was just a passive executor.
After making a number of such films in succession, the talent was noticed by the "boss" Mecca, who was given a chance to direct independently, and then took inspiration from a robbery to shoot "Dragon and Tiger", which used the saxophone for the soundtrack, and at this time more than 6 years after his ambitious return to Hong Kong.
After the success of "Dragon and Tiger", Lin Lingdong filmed "Prison Storm", "School Storm", and "Holy War" in one go. Gang film representatives.
It's just that Lin Lingdong's luck is not as good as Wu Yusen's, his "Fengyun film" has been repeatedly embarrassed by the electrical inspection department because of its black realism and exposing social problems, while Wu Yusen's "hero film" is clearly beautifying black. Society, but it has never been embarrassed by the electrical inspection.
After cooperating with his old classmate Zhou Yunfa in "Dragon and Tiger" and "Prison Storm", Lin Lingdong began to try to find someone else to be the leading actor of his own movie, but it turns out that as long as the protagonist is not Zhou Runfa, the box office will not have a very good performance.
Although Mecca didn't say anything on the surface, he had hinted many times that Lin Lingdong should find Zhou Runfa to cooperate, which is why Lin Lingdong invited Zhou Runfa to dinner today.
Lin Lingdong didn't know how to talk to Zhou Runfa about this, and then he drank vigorously until he was persuaded by Zhou Yanfa.
"If you don't stay well in Mecca, why don't you come and help me, it just so happens that my film company still lacks a collaborator, and the two of us are one director and one actor, which just complements each other."
After the new art city was replaced by Media Asia, although Mecca led a group of people out to stand on his own, his ambitions in the film were no longer what they used to be, and the increasingly old-fashioned Mecca began to be a little unsure of the audience's love, in fact, he had plans to fade out of the film industry.
Zhou Yanfa saw this point and made such a suggestion to Lin Lingdong.
Lin Lingdong's eyes lit up, but it soon dimmed, Zhou Yanfa's proposal was good, but the actual operation was very difficult.
The problem is no longer with Lin Lingdong, he wants to leave, Mecca will definitely release him, and the main problem is still with Zhou Yanfa.
Zhou Yunfa Film Company has been established for a long time, but he has never made a few movies at all, except for a few films starring him in cooperation with other film companies, the most famous is "Ocean's Eleven" co-starring Lin Youlun gathered a group of stars.
The main reason for this situation is because Zhou Runfa has too many film appointments, and he can't be busy acting in movies by himself, where is the time to invest in making movies by himself?
As soon as Lin Lingdong talked about this situation, Zhou Yanfa himself stopped talking, he knew his situation best, and Lin Lingdong's worries were not unreasonable.
And Zhou Yunfa also discovered that he was really not good at running a film company, so he pulled Lin Lingdong over, and when he was busy filming, would he let Lin Lingdong continue to sit on the cold bench?
After dispelling the idea of opening a film company together, Zhou Yunfa then thought of another idea.
"Actually, you don't have to join a certain film company to film, it's okay for you to do this as an individual, you go with me at the premiere of "The Hangover" the day after tomorrow, and after meeting Mr. Lin, I'll tell him about your situation, if he is willing to help, everything will be easy."
Lin Lingdong thinks this method is good, but the problem is that he is not familiar with Lin Youlun, is Lin Youlun really willing to help?
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of everything."
The reason why Zhou Yunfa is so confident is because he met Lin Youlun some time ago, when Lin Youlun said that he wanted to find him to make a movie and asked him if he had time.
Zhou Yunfa was not sure that Lin Youlun had not determined the director of the play, but he felt that this might be an opportunity for Lin Lingdong.
