Chapter 249: Audition for "Eavesdropping"

ended the filming of "Witness", and Shen Lian didn't get much free time. After returning to the mainland, he needed to have a showdown with the company and stated that he would not renew the contract, and the company's handling result was not completely certain. Generally, in the face of artists who refuse to renew their contracts, the methods of the agency are generally two, refrigeration until the end of the contract, or desperately arranging work to squeeze the last value of the body. There are also those who terminate the contract early, and the price paid is more hurtful. And it's easy to tear your face. When he signed the contract four years ago, Shen Lian did not receive any signing money, so Shen Lian also had some chips in his hand. If it really came to the point where he had to talk about the termination of the contract in court, Shen Lian still had some initiative.

It just so happened that Er Dongsheng approached Shen Lian with a movie made of zuò and invited him to play a role in the movie.

To be honest, Shen Lian's physical condition was not good after returning from Africa. However, the reality is that if Orange Tian decides to refrigerate himself for more than a year, then Shen Lian will not be able to take over the job next.

Unlike the last time we met at a bar late at night, this time Erdonson met at a café.

"Canon Mocha, thank you." came to the private room, Shen Lian and the waiter ordered.

In addition to Er Dongsheng, there is another middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure. Although I haven't cooperated, I've heard about it for a long time, Mak Zhaohui.

Speaking of Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaohui. In terms of prestige, it may not be as good as Xu Ke, Wang Jiawei, and Du Qifeng, but in terms of talent, it is definitely full of dry goods. The "Infernal Affairs" series, which saved Hong Kong films, came from the hands of the two.

And this time, he teamed up with his old partner Zhuang Wenqiang again to create the movie "Eavesdropping", which is also ready to be made into a series. Shortly before meeting Shen Lian, the joining of the first actor-level actor had just been confirmed. Golden Statue Actor, Liu Qingyun!

And in the selection of the second actor. Mak Chiu-fai actually has his own ideas. Because the film itself is a pure Hong Kong film, Mak Zhaohui prefers to use local Hong Kong actors in the determination of the leading role, and as for meeting the standards of co-production, you can start with supporting roles. Pure Hong Kong films are obviously no longer competitive with Hollywood's big-scale productions in the share of mainland imports, so Hong Kong directors will use mainland actors on a large scale, but so far except for Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Shen Lian, who have gained a firm foothold, and Zhang Jingchu barely stands, other mainland actors are not favored by Hong Kong directors.

However, Er Dongsheng's strong recommendation dispelled Mai Zhaohui's concerns. The consistently high box office of Shen Lian's starring movies also indicates that he is a box office elixir. This is enough for the director, and Shen Lian is quite integrated into Cantonese and Hong Kong culture, so Mak Zhaohui has no disputes.

"Let's not waste time and get straight to the point. You've also looked at some of the scripts, which of the three members of the Intelligence Section is your favorite. Mak Zhaohui smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.

In fact, the role of Liang Junyi, Mai Zhaohui, has been handed over to Liu Qingyun. In fact, it was impossible for Shen Lian to pick this role. The age span is too big, he wants to choose this role, and it is difficult to find the remaining two actors. And the role of Yang Zhen is obviously impossible. This role is the master of Liang Junyi's character, and Shen Lian can't be older than Liu Qingyun no matter how much makeup he makes, so Shen Lian's only option is Lin Yixiang.

After carefully reading the script for about ten minutes, Shen Lian said: "If I had to choose, maybe Lin Yixiang would be my only choice." It's the right age, and sometimes I make some bold decisions......"

"Oh?" Mai Zhaohui smiled and didn't say anything, "So, you like the role of Lin Yishen very much." ”

Shen Lian nodded and said, "There are some ideas that make the director laugh." ”

"It's okay, be bold. After all, we were in a café, not an audition set, so we thought we were chatting. ”

Shen Lian said: "In this case, I will talk about my understanding of the script." The script can be regarded as a full-fledged version of the ugliness of human nature. But I don't know if it's intentional or coincidental, it's all men who are ugly! Lin Yixiang is young and promising, full of ambition, and now he is 'marrying into a wealthy family', and his future is limitless. But he still has to borrow five million to gamble, which can be regarded as a small challenge to fate. But because of the demons in his heart, he not only destroyed his brilliant future, but also had the infatuation of a wealthy woman. Yang Zhen's family is in a difficult situation, not only to deal with the sudden situation that may occur at any time when his son is suffering from leukemia, but he is also terminally ill and will die soon. Obviously, the paths of the three people can be different, if Xiaojun didn't make it clear to Li Guang, maybe there would not be a tragedy of the three people, if Lin Yixiang didn't always want to prove something to his father-in-law because of the wealthy family, and have less vanity, maybe he wouldn't die alone in the night. ”

"Very well understood, very precise. Very spot-on. Mak Zhaohui praised.

"Then Zhaohui means that Shen Lian's appearance is confirmed?" Er Dongsheng, who was sitting on the side, asked.

"What do you mean, Shen Lian?" Mai Zhaohui did not deny it, but threw the question to Shen Lian.

"I'm fine, but, Director Xiaobao, there are some things that I still need your help with." Shen Lian's tone was a little weak.

"Huh?" Er Dongsheng looked at Shen Lian a little strangely, and took the initiative to ask for help, but he was far from Shen Lian, who was humble and arrogant inside.

"I have a bit of a contract dispute with the company. If the next talks collapse, it is not ruled out that they may be blocked or refrigerated next. So......" Shen Lian only said half of what he said.

"So after signing the contract, I hope that our attitude will be stronger and resolute not to let go?" Er Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, this is indeed not difficult for him.

"Then thank you Director Xiaobao, I will act with my heart." Shen Lian promised.

"It's a little thing, it's just a gesture." Er Dongsheng waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to take it to heart. Shen Lian, an actor, has a bright future. It's not a bad thing to sell him a favor early.

After ending the negotiation with Er Dongsheng, Shen Lian returned to the hotel to pack his bags and took a plane back to Shanghai that night. There's still a lot of work to go.

A day later, Shen Lian appeared in Beijing. Longines Beijing flagship store held an event, and Shen Lian and the newly signed female spokesperson Lin Zhiling were both present. And after the scandal between Shen Lian and Liu Yifei gradually cooled down, the two are about to start a new advertising shooting.

Lin Zhiling wore a long white dress today, the side RU was slightly exposed, and the two long legs were even more thrilling, and Shen Lian, who was shaking, was a little afraid to look at her.

The two have met before at the Golden Horse Awards. Lin Zhiling was very generous and took the initiative to greet Shen Lian.

"Congratulations to Shen Lian for the rave reviews for his film works and box office hits." The sound of swishing made people's bones soften. It's just that Shen Lian hasn't had any works online recently......

"Miss Lin is even more dazzling than when she was at the Golden Horse Awards." Shen Lian also responded with a sensible sentence. It's so sour that I can't stand it anymore.

"Hehe, thank you." Lin Zhiling covered his mouth and smiled, saying hello to each other when they met again. "You can call me Shiling, or Sister Shiling, I won't mind."
