Chapter 766: Behind the Characters [Second Update]

"Before coming to Japan, we only decided that the film needed a Japanese actor to join, but there was no clear candidate, and before we decided to invite Miss Noriko Sakai to play, of course, I also considered other artists, but in the end, I felt that Ms. Noriko Sakai was more suitable."

Wang Jing's answer relieved Sato in front of the TV.

The reporter asked Wang Jing again which artists he had considered before, and Wang Jing bluntly said that this issue would offend many people, so he still didn't say it.

When Wang Jing answered reporters' questions, Sakai Noriko was not idle on the side, and she was also asked a lot of questions, including even mentioning Shizuka Kudo.

"Miss Fako, you got the opportunity to star in this movie, as a good friend, did Miss Shizuka congratulate you?"

Sakai's smile was a little reluctant, but she nodded and gave the other party an affirmative answer.

The reporters refused to stop there.

"Miss Noriko, you and Shizuka Kudo have similar popularity in the Japanese music scene, and now they are both facing a diversified transition from singer to actor, and now you have the opportunity to star in the movie "City Hunter", do you think you have achieved more advantages than Shizuka Kudo in the direction of actor transformation?"

"I'm very lucky that I got this opportunity, but I don't agree with your statement, you must know that there are many actors in the movie "City Hunter" who are very famous in Hong Kong and have a large number of fans in Japan, and working with them, I hope to learn from them more about the experience of acting, and when the film is released, my role will not be ignored by the audience."

Noriko Sakai brings the conversation back to the movie "City Hunter". Successfully diverted the attention of journalists.

Now Wang Jing has to be busy again. Because reporters are asking him who plays the other roles in this movie.

"The news has not yet been announced in Hong Kong. At present, in addition to Miss Noriko Sakai, the actors who have been confirmed to appear in this movie are also Miss Wang Guxian and Miss Qiu Shuzhen, both of whom are also very familiar to Japanese audiences. ”

"There is news that the actor of this movie will be played by Mr. Lin Youlun himself, is this news true to Director Wang?" Another reporter stood up and asked.

"Everyone knows that the first thing to consider when looking for an actor to make a movie is the other party's schedule, the actor of this play. The first thing I thought about was to find Cheng Long to play, but Cheng Long was too busy filming in the United States during this time, and someone told me that the image gap between Cheng Long and the male protagonist Meng Bo in the original comics was a bit big...... Choose and choose, either the schedule is not suitable, or the image does not match, I will tell Aaron after the worst, otherwise you will come to the performance. Aaron himself liked the original comics of "City Hunter" very much, and then he was also interested in playing the role of Meng Bo, so he agreed. ”

Wang Jing finished speaking. Before he could take a breath, another reporter stood up.

"Does Director Wang think Mr. Lin can play the role of Meng Bo well?"

"The person who asked the question. Surely none of them have seriously watched the movies that Aaron has acted in before. ”

Wang Jing's cold humor caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

"Whether it's suitable or not, in fact, I don't say it, I have to wait until the movie is released for the audience to judge, but I personally have a lot of confidence in Aaron to play this role. Aaron has starred in a total of 6 movies so far, among which the roles in "Lin Sheng and Mrs. Lin" and "Ocean's Eleven" are very close to Meng Bo in "City Hunter", and the box office success of those two movies is enough to show that he has no problem playing this kind of role. ”

"In addition to Meng Bo in the original comics, Kimura is also a very important character, but Director Wang didn't mention this character when he introduced the relevant characters of this movie just now, I'm curious, did Director Wang forget, or is there no such character in the movie at all?"

A reporter mentioned the role of Kimura, which made Wang Jing a little surprised.

Kimura is Meng Bo's assistant, Huixiang's brother, and Meizi's former colleague, which can be said to be a very important character in the original comics, but when the plot was designed at the beginning, this character was written to death by Wang Jing at the beginning.

Wang Jing's purpose in doing this was to highlight the male lead, but after Lin Youlun read the script that Wang Jing came up with, he insisted on adding this role.

The reason given by Lin Youlun was to respect the original work, but Wang Jing knew very well in his heart that Lin Youlun actually didn't want acting to take up too much of his time, so he hoped that someone could help him share some of the scenes.

If you don't talk about your understanding of Lin Youlun, except for the women around him, it is Wang Jing who has the most accurate grasp of his mind.

In "City Hunter" starring Cheng Long, Kimura did die at the beginning, which is easy to understand, because in all Cheng Long's movies, Cheng Long is the absolute protagonist, and other characters basically can't escape the fate of being weakened.

Replaced by Lin Youlun as the starring role, he is not as good as Cheng Long, and he can firmly attract the audience's attention to himself in 90 minutes, so he needs others to help him share the role.

Cheng Long can fight alone as a starring role, but Lin Youlun can't, he still needs a wingman!

"The role of Kimura has not yet been decided, so I haven't specifically mentioned it to you, but rest assured, this role will definitely appear in the movie." Wang Jing replied later.

——

Wang Jing and Lin Youlun are still in Japan, and the news announced at the press conference has already been transmitted back to Hong Kong. The media has a lot of discussions on this matter, and everyone is very concerned, in addition to Lin Youlun, Wang Guxian, Qiu Shuzhen and Sakai Fazi, who have been confirmed to star, which stars will join this movie.

Because according to the past practice, the star lineup of movies starring Lin Youlun will be very strong.

Not to mention the disaster relief movie "Dragon and Phoenix Shop", which gathered most of Hong Kong's stars, "Ocean's Eleven" and "Love and Love" are two movies, and Hong Kong's popular stars have basically been wiped out.

In the movie "City Hunter", in addition to the role of Kimura asked by the Japanese reporter at the press conference, there are two other characters that have attracted much attention, one is the female partner of Yazi played by Qiu Shuzhen in the film, and the other is a character that has no prototype in the original comics, but is specially added for this movie.

This character is a dealer on the gambling wheel, and after the robbers take control of the gambling wheel, he joins forces with the protagonist to fight the enemy.

Regarding this role, there is also a saying in the market, which is about the "ghost king" Ye Han learned that Lin Youlun was going to use the Oriental Princess to start a movie related to gambling on the high seas, and specially sent someone to Hong Kong to negotiate, and the result of the negotiation between the two sides was that Ye Han sponsored the film for 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the producer added a character with Ye Han as the prototype in the movie.

After learning about this incident, Ho Hongsen also sponsored the film for 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and then also made a request.

This statement has been spread with noses and eyes, but there are many theories about what specific requirements Ho Hongsen made to Lin Youlun.

Some people say that Rondon Ho asked Lin Youlun to arrange a role based on him in the movie, and some people say that Ronsen Ho asked Lin Youlun to kill the character based on Ye Han in the movie...... It is impossible for reporters to ask Hung Ho for confirmation of this kind of thing, and Lin Youlun is not in Hong Kong, so various versions of the statement have emerged.

On the plane back to Japan from Hong Kong, Wang Jing couldn't help but ask about it, and he was very curious about what kind of request Ho made to Lin Youlun.

"Mr. Ho wanted me to arrange a scene at the end of the movie to blow up the Oriental Princess."

"It seems that He Hongsen really hates the Oriental Princess, there is no way to take it in reality, and it breathes a sigh of relief in the movie." Wang Jing sighed, thinking about how big a feud this would be for Stanley Ho to make such a decision.

"I agreed to this, but the script hasn't had time to change yet, since you are so enthusiastic, then this matter will be left to you."

"I'm just curious, doesn't it have to be like this?" Wang Jing had a bitter face.

"It's just a matter of changing the ending, is that hard?" Lin Youlun glared at Wang Jing angrily, "You can set up the kidnappers to install bombs on the boat from the beginning, although the kidnappers were eliminated after the last day, but the rescue team didn't have time to dismantle the bombs, everyone put on life jackets and jumped into the sea, and the boat was blown up and sunk at the very end, isn't it over?" ”

"It's going to take a lot of work to fix that." Wang Jing looked at Lin Youlun with blank eyes.

As soon as Lin Youlun saw Wang Jing's expression, he knew that this guy must negotiate terms with him.

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go!"

Wang Jing smiled shyly, "Aren't there still three roles that have not been decided?" I want to arrange for someone to come in, so there should be no problem, right? ”

"Is it a woman?"

"How did you know about it?" Wang Jing looked surprised.

"If you were a man, would you have such a lewd expression?"

Lin Youlun opened the newspaper in his hand and didn't plan to talk nonsense with Wang Jing anymore.

Lin Youlun didn't directly say no, Wang Jing knew that there was a drama in this matter, and leaned his face towards Lin Youlun's side.

"So you said yes?"

Lin Youlun flipped the page of the newspaper in his hand, "You can arrange for whoever to come in, but if something goes wrong, don't expect me to come out and wipe your ass in the last place!" ”

Wang Jing saw that Lin Youlun had misunderstood him, and hurriedly explained: "Things are really not what you think, that actor helped me shoot two plays, and I promised to help her transform, and this time there is just such a role, so I want her to play it." ”

"Would you be so kind?"

Of course, Lin Youlun didn't believe it, and continued to read the newspaper in his hand.

"I asked her to shoot those two dramas on a large scale, so I owe her a favor, and this time I can pay it ......back" Wang Jing accidentally said that he missed his mouth, and after realizing that something was wrong, he quickly gagged his mouth with his hand, but it was too late.
