Chapter 862: The Tiger of Wan Chai [Second Watch]
In order to further convince Xiang Huaqiang, Wang Jing drafted a plot framework on the spot.
Chen Yaoqing and Ah Hong are brothers, and Da D, Ah Chung have been good brothers since childhood, the four of them started in Wan Chai parking stalls, and were repeatedly bullied by others, and then the four brothers in order to get ahead, did not hesitate to fight with major gangs, and in just a few years became the most popular figures in the rivers and lakes. Because of Aqing's famous name, many merchants and nightclubs invite Aqing to take care of him and avoid harassment by the underworld. A gang entrenched in Wan Chai tried to deal in drugs in a nightclub that Ah Hing cared for, but Ah Hing refused and took them out of Wan Chai. As a result, Aqing was shot and killed without any defense......"
Although he was commissioned by Xin Ngee An to make this movie, Wang Jing still followed the rules of Hong Kong to make underworld heroes when designing the plot, and treated the owner by pseudonym, and the plot design was also to beautify Chen Yaoxing as much as possible.
Xiang Huaqiang has opened a film company for such a long time, and he still has a certain ability to judge the quality of the movie plot.
The plot provided by Wang Jing is actually based on Chen Yaoxing's real experience, and some bridges are pieced together from various gangster films, and the story is rough and rough, but considering that the style of Wang Jing's movies has always been like this, Xiang Huaqiang didn't say anything.
"Now that Director Wang has already thought about the plot, you should have suitable candidates for the other roles in the film, right?"
Xiang Huaqiang did not mention the matter of the actor again, which was tantamount to acquiescing to the fact that Wu Zhenyu would play Chen Yaoxing, and Wang Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big D can find Liu Qingyun to play, he and Wu Zhenyu are good friends in reality, and they have collaborated on many movies together before. They have a very tacit understanding with each other; As for the role of Ah Cong. can be played by Zhang Yaoyang. He played the crow in "Crazy Boy", and he had a fight with Wu Zhenyu's Liangkun. ”
Xiang Huaqiang nodded again and again after hearing this, Yin Yuju's "Haojiang Fengyun" found Ren Dahua and Fang Zhongxin as the starring actors, and they used Wu Zhenyu, Liu Qingyun, and Zhang Yaoyang on their side, and they did not lose to each other in the lineup.
The plot and actors were all discussed, and Xiang Huaqiang only remembered to ask Wang Jing what the name of this movie was.
"Since it was filmed to commemorate Chen Yaoxing, I think it will be called "The Tiger of Wan Chai" directly."
——
Originally, the turmoil over Chen Yaoxing's murder had not stopped, and Wang Jing suddenly announced the start of filming "The Tiger of Wan Chai". The media exploded all at once.
Wang Jing didn't want to arouse people's appetite this time, from the announcement of the news to the holding of the new film press conference, there were less than two days apart, and the preliminary preparations for the entire film were all completed during this period.
Compared with other films, "The Tiger of Wan Chai" actually has nothing to prepare, director Lau Wai-keung has experience in filming "Crazy Boy", and it can be said that he is familiar with making this kind of film, and the filming locations are all provided by New Ngee An, including the parking stall where Chen Yaoxing made his fortune. In the past, the bars, nightclubs, and even movies he photographed didn't even need to be prepared for extras. directly came to make a cameo for free by Chen Yaoxing's former subordinates.
Of course, the Hong Kong media who came to the press conference were most concerned about who the leading actors of this movie were.
Because Liu Weiqiang is the director of the film this time, many people speculate that the actor of the film is likely to be Zheng Yijian, but there is also gossip that the actor this time is someone else.
"It definitely won't be Zheng Yijian, he is now filming "Heroes of the World", and the schedule directly conflicts with this movie!"
"The investor of "Heroes of the World" is Mr. Lin, and Wang Jing is so familiar with Mr. Lin, it is not impossible for Zheng Yijian to straddle the two crews."
The reporters at the scene talked about it, and Wu Zhenyu, the real actor of this movie, is being complained about at the moment.
"Even if you were dragged into the fire pit yourself, why did you bring me in with you?" Liu Qingyun's face was already dark, and with the fact that he was depressed at the moment, his face was even more ugly.
Wu Zhenyu was not happy when he heard this, "Hey, what do you mean by me pulling you in, looking for you to play this role is the meaning of the producer, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Liu Qingyun said unreasonably: "If you weren't the leading actor, would the director have thought of letting me play this role?" ”
Wu Zhenyu pouted, "If you don't want to act, you can directly refuse, I didn't pull you...... Don't say that you acted in this drama because of me, it's too fake to say it, I won't believe it. ”
Liu Qingyun rolled his eyes angrily, "You think I don't want to?" I told Wang Jing at the time, but he said that he couldn't change it, this matter had been confirmed to the boss, and he had to act if he didn't want to. ”
Wu Zhenyu shrugged, "I'm not in the same situation as you, but I'm already very glad that I can still get paid for such a movie, if it was 5 or 6 years ago, it would be a good thing not to force you with a gun over there, and don't even think about the salary." ”
Liu Qingyun sighed and didn't say anything more.
Wu Zhenyu patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, if you don't act in this movie, you don't have any other movies to act in now, maybe after acting in this movie, you will become popular all of a sudden?" ”
Liu Qingyun took Wu Zhenyu's hand away from his shoulder, "Forget it, I don't have such big expectations, just don't get into trouble because of this movie!" ”
"Are you too cautious, what will happen to you making this film? Since Wang Jing dared to ask us to make this movie, of course he got permission from there, and if we moved, we just couldn't get along with that side, who would be full enough to come to find such a thing? ”
Wu Zhenyu's words have a certain truth, but after Liu Qingyun heard it, the worry on his face did not decrease at all.
"You don't know what's going on, the night Huang Langwei and Mei Yanfang clashed, I was also in that nightclub."
This secret has been buried in Liu Qingyun's heart for more than a year, and he finally had the opportunity to tell it at this time, he originally thought that Wu Zhenyu would be surprised, but he didn't expect Wu Zhenyu to react at all.
"At that time, there were dozens of people in that nightclub, Huang Langwei and Mei Yanfang had a conflict, what does it have to do with you?"
Liu Qingyun had to emphasize: "Of course it matters, Miss Zhou originally invited me and another friend to go there for a drink that day, and when she went to the bathroom in the middle, she met Mei Yanfang, and then those things happened later......"
Wu Zhenyu still didn't understand what this had to do with Liu Qingyun, but he was more concerned about who the other friend Liu Qingyun mentioned just now was.
"Don't divert the subject, okay?" Liu Qingyun was suddenly a little cramped.
"Are you diversioning the subject?" Wu Zhenyu stared at Liu Qingyun twice, and suddenly thought of someone in his heart.
"I know, that person is Guo Aiming, right?"
Liu Qingyun was about to open his mouth to explain, but Wu Zhenyu stopped him in front of him and said: "Don't deny it, that must be Guo Aiming, otherwise I really can't think of any reason for Miss Zhou to invite you to a nightclub for a drink." ”
"Say whatever you want!" Liu Qingyun had an expression that didn't want to explain more.
At this moment, the door of the dressing room was pushed open, and Zhang Yaoyang, another leading actor of the film, peeked in through the crack in the door.
"Are you all right here? Director Liu asked me to inform you that the press conference is about to start. ”
Wu Zhenyu got up from his seat and patted Liu Qingyun on the shoulder, and Liu Qingyun also stood up with him.
"We're all ready, let's go together!"
——
Wu Zhenyu, Liu Qingyun, and Zhang Yaoyang appeared together, and the reporters in the audience were stunned.
"How are the three of them?"
"Liu Qingyun is okay, aren't Wu Zhenyu and Zhang Yaoyang both villains in "Crazy Boy"? Could it be that they continue to play villains this time? ”
The chatter was not over, and there was another commotion at the door.
During this time, Chen Miaoying, who earned enough eyeballs because she announced her withdrawal from the finals of Miss Hong Kong, actually appeared at the press conference of "The Tiger of Wan Chai", which is related to her relationship with Chen Yaoxing in reality, which inevitably makes people have a lot of associations.
Wang Jing and Liu Weiqiang, who were supposed to be the protagonists of the press conference, were all left out in the free question session to the reporters on the scene, but Wu Zhenyu and Chen Miaoying, who were the heroes and heroines of the film, became the focus of reporters.
"Actually, I didn't expect to play this role at the beginning, probably because the director felt that I was closer to the image of the male protagonist in the film, of course, I also knew that if I play this role, everyone will definitely compare Liangkun in "Crazy Boy", this time the role I play will definitely not be as crazy as Liangkun, speaking of ruthlessness, Zhang Yaoyang's role this time is the real ruthless!"
was asked by a reporter what he thought about playing Chen Yaoxing this time, but Wu Zhenyu pulled the topic to Zhang Yaoyang in a few words.
In the film, he played Ah Qing who is brilliant and is the eldest of the four, but Liu Qingyun's big D is a more timid one, but he sacrificed his life for Ah Qing in the end, and Ah Cong played by Zhang Yaoyang is quite ruthless, has the best relationship with Big D, values righteousness, and then kills the three giants of the gang for revenge for Big D.
Because this role is fictional, Zhang Yaoyang has no pressure, and since his debut, he has basically played this kind of role, and he has long been accustomed to everyone's opinion of him.
Of course, when answering reporters' questions, whether it was Zhang Yaoyang or Wu Zhenyu, they tried their best to avoid talking about the connection between this movie and reality, and only Chen Miaoying took the initiative to respond to this matter.
"A lot of people are worried about whether I will smash this drama if I act for the first time, in fact, I basically play myself in this movie, so acting skills are really not very important...... He's gone, and my main purpose in making this film is just to honor him. That's all I can say now, I hope you understand! (To be continued......)
