Chapter 112 "Made in Hong Kong"

"You're Mr. Diyundi." Chen Guo stood up and said with a smile.

"You're too polite, just call me Di Yun, you should be Director Chen." Di Yun saw that people were very polite, so he lowered his posture. One is that people are older, and they are seniors regardless of whether they are famous or not. Another is that he is really not a big coffee and has no arrogant capital.

After the two shook hands and met, Chen Guo pointed to Andy Lau beside him and smiled: "I shouldn't need to introduce this person, right?" ”

"No, no. Liu Tianwang's name is a household name in the mainland, I know him. Then he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, hello." ”

"Just call me Andy, my friends call me that." Andy Lau doesn't have the kind of cold style of the popular king, and said with a smile.

Di Yun wondered in his heart, could this also play a role in the movie? Then the cast of this movie is high.

However, he felt that no matter how high the cast was, it didn't have much to do with him. If the group is just started to be established, everyone fights fairly, and whoever plays well will be on it, then he will not have any pimples in his heart, purely by ability. But I didn't come in when the crew was formed, but people came over after filming started, and if I went in, I would inevitably squeeze out another person. It's not easy for everyone, and there's no need to steal another person's job for a dispensable drama for yourself.

After sitting down, he said: "Director Chen, since you have started filming here, I won't mix in it, let's meet today and this matter is over, just give Sister Zhang an explanation." ”

Chen Guo and Andy Lau glanced at each other. Something is wrong with this, why didn't it go as expected? I haven't said anything about letting me try the show or something, this is trying to slip away?

Chen Guo said: "Mr. Di... Hi... I'll call you Xiao Di. ”

"Mr. Di, I don't feel comfortable listening to it, you can call Xiao Di Xiaoyun." Di Yun laughed.

"Mm-hmm, don't worry. I'll tell you what's going on. Chen Guo said.

"Uh...... Say it. ”

"That's right, at the beginning of my preparation for this movie, I was preparing to use the mainland... Well. Now it should be called the mainland, and it is ready to use mainland actors to act. But due to various reasons, it didn't work out in the end, and the actors who are now filming are from irregular backgrounds, to be honest. The performance was a bit unsatisfactory, and Andy and I were not very satisfied. Before, it was no way, but now you show up. It's like a light piercing the darkness......"

"Uh... Huh..."

"Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth. Andy and I both think it's very suitable for this role when we see you, we can go and try the play first, and if it's okay, we can reshoot it immediately. ”

His words still didn't die. didn't say that you directly quit the original actor to play, mainly because I was worried that once I quit the original actor, and Di Yun didn't look so suitable after the audition, it would be a big deal.

Di Yun thinks that this is like you, a person who is not hungry, but you run over and grab the bread of the homeless. It looks a little scummy. So he didn't speak, just smiled and shook his head gently.

"Tsk..." Chen Guo looked at him and didn't know what to say.

Andy Lau, who had been smiling and not speaking, said at this time: "Little... Di, can I ask you why you don't want to take this play? ”

Di Yun didn't hide it, and said: "Hasn't your drama started filming yet, if I join in now, I will definitely fire another person, I don't think it's good." ”

Andy Lau was stunned, and then a smile spread on his face and said, "Your intentions are good, but you may have misunderstood." It is not called dismissal here, it is called breach of contract. For example, our actor has three times the penalty in the contract. So it's a good thing for the other person to get on board. You can get liquidated damages three times the salary. ”

Now it was Di Yun's turn to be stunned, he didn't know, when he was in the mainland, the director was basically the heaven of the crew, whatever he said, unless it was the kind of super-big-name star, ordinary actors did not have liquidated damages at all. If you want to quit, you can quit. If I had known earlier, what would I have wrinkled, anyway, I don't feel sorry for spending the crew's money, and no one has suffered, everyone is willing. Why not?

"Hey!" Chen Guo patted his thigh and said, "Are you because of this?" I didn't say it sooner. ”

"Uh... I didn't know what was going on here. Di Yun said with an innocent shrug.

"Then it should be okay now, right?" Chen Guo said.

"No problem." Di Yun smiled: "Can be with Hua... I'm still looking forward to filming with my brother. He didn't call Andy, he felt a little big, and called Brother Sheng.

"Hehe... I don't participate in this play. I'm an executive producer and producer. After a pause, he continued, "Although Director Chen and I are very optimistic about you, we still have to try the show first." ”

"It should be, it should be." Di Yun said. I can't play against this person, a little disappointed.

With the will, this matter is much easier to talk about. Next is to light up the script and analyze the characters.

The script was written in traditional characters, and he even read a rough guess.

He plays the protagonist of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the absolute protagonist. This drama can be said to be a one-man show, with supporting roles, but there are very few supporting roles, and it completely revolves around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn is a thug who has nothing to do and wanders the streets all day long, but he is smart not to do anything that breaks the law, and has a good heart, and adopts a fool who lives on the streets, Ah Long......

The whole story is very shocking, it is a real power, reflecting the rebellious relationship between family and society, the catharsis of involuntary lifestyle, and the fear and expression of death in the growth of teenagers today, showing a real world that is not utopian. It reveals the helplessness and confusion in the hearts of people after the return of Hong Kong Island.

The others are all easy to act, but it is not easy to show the kind of unconscious confusion. But Di Yun had this kind of experience, which is probably a portrayal of the mentality he had when he first came to this world.

When he closed the notebook, Chen Guo asked, "How is it?" Any questions? ”

Di Yun pursed his lips and shook his head, "You can try." ”

"Okay, let's go try it out now." Chen Guo couldn't wait to say.

Andy Lau said: "Don't be too anxious, it's already noon, let's talk about it after eating first." ”

Chen Guo looked at his watch, and before he knew it, it was already a little closer to twelve o'clock, and said, "Okay, eat first." ”

The three of them didn't move the ground, they simply ate something in the teahouse, and then immediately rushed to the crew.

The crew does not have a fixed theater, because it tells the story of Hong Kong Island at the moment, so the entire Hong Kong Island can become a theater, and where you need to shoot, you can prepare a guy to take enough personnel to run there, and only a rented hotel is used as a place for the crew to stay.

The director and producer went out together today, so they gave the crew a day off, and when the three of them arrived at the hotel where they stayed, there were few people, only two staff members who looked after the plumbing.

Di Yun asked, "I'll try that later?" ”

"Hmm... Let me see. Chen Guo picked up the script and flipped through it.

At this time, a guy with long hair walked in and asked, "Brother Chen, Andy, are you done?" ”

Andy Lau pointed at Di Yun and said, "It's done." ”

"Is this...?"

Chen Guo said: "Quan Zai, you came back just in time, and you will play with Yun Zai later." Then he said to the two staff members who were looking at the plumbing tools, "Ah Kun, you guys prepare the equipment for shooting." After a while, I went to the school playground and re-filmed the part of playing basketball. ”

Then he introduced the two to each other: "This is the editor of the crew's film, Li Dongquan, who will make a cameo appearance in the play as Aaron." This is Di Yun, an actor from the mainland, trying to play. ”

"Audition?" Li Dongquan was puzzled, but this was not his business, so he didn't ask more, and reached out to shake Di Yun's hand.

After preparing the equipment, the group of six drove a van and drove the equipment to the basketball court of a middle school not far away.

Chen Guo explained: "Xiao Di, you will play basketball there shirtless later, and then Ah Long's nose and face are swollen into the mirror, you ask him who hit him, of course, there is no makeup today, Ah Long's face is not bruised, but you ...... You know what I mean, don't you? ”

"yes, I see." Di Yun nodded. Drinking tea empty-handed, this is even simpler.

"You have to be angry."

"yes, got it."

Chen Guo asked a staff member to find a few students who were willing to go on camera to play with Di Yun.

In fact, this shot is very simple, but Chen Guo used this to audition for another purpose. Because there are many topless and even naked shots in the film, he has to look at Di Yun's figure while watching his acting skills.

"Alright, let's get started." After several voluntary group performances were ready, Chen Guo shouted.

Di Yun has a red bandana wrapped around his head and his arms closed, and his abdominal muscles will be more obvious when he dribbles and runs.

Chen Guo is very satisfied with his figure. After he played for a few minutes, he shouted, "The fat boy is here!" ”

So Li Dongquan, who played Aaron, began to appear in the camera.

Ah Long is a fool, Li Dongquan acted very vividly, his hands drooped in front of him and walked over leisurely, holding his mouth, looking like he was about to cry. This is someone who has beaten him, and he is looking for a big brother.

In fact, the Mid-Autumn Festival has nothing to do with Ah Long, Ah Long was picked up by him on the street, and he has no family, so he temporarily keeps it by his side. The sky is long and big, but timid and cowardly.

Di Yun angrily smashed the ball on the ground and bounced high, muttering, "You can't play a good ball." He turned and walked to the edge of the playground. Looking at the wound on Ah Long's head, he asked, "Who hit it?" You're not going to fight back, are you? ”

Aaron timidly did not speak.

"Let's go!" Di Yun put his shirt on his shoulder, pulled him and said, "Whoever hit him, go to him!" ”

Ah Long's cowardly temperament determined that he could only be bullied, and shrank back and said, "What are you going to do?" What are you going to do? ”

Di Yun didn't speak, just pulled him forward.

"That's it!"

Chen Guo shouted, then looked at Andy Lau on the side, Andy Lau nodded lightly.

At this point, this role is Di Yun's.

As for how the director and producer terminated the contract with the original actor, it was none of his business. In the evening, he signed a contract with a salary of 50,000 yuan, and the liquidated damages for the crew are still three times, and the liquidated damages for the actors are ten times. Di Yun didn't think about breaching the contract after signing it, so he didn't care about whether it was three times or ten times. (To be continued.) )
