Chapter 194: The King of Comedy

Although the current Stephen Chow is not satisfactory, he is by no means willing to be just a children's program host. For his acting career, he always has dreams and never relaxes. tried to write scripts, figure out classic films, read theories, and delve into acting, but there has been no chance to perform, even if you muster up the courage to go to the film company and submit the registration form, after all, you can't even see the boss.

Before Lu Yan asked Wu Mengda to help contact the other party, Stephen Chow had already recommended himself countless times. But after all, he is a trickster, and who will pay attention to it? In terms of appearance, there are more actors than him in this period. In terms of acting, what kind of acting skills does he talk about?

Although he didn't give up, he was still devastated. But I didn't expect that this time Wu Mengda would find the recording site of the 430 shuttle to find him, because it was actually the boss of Dongcheng Imaging - Lu Yan wanted to see him.

Stephen Chow, who came home that night, had insomnia, and he repeatedly performed himself in front of the mirror. He hoped to make a good impression on Lu Yan when they met tomorrow, and he didn't want to be playing tricks all the time

"Boss Lu, he is Stephen Chow......"

Lu Yan's eyes naturally looked at Stephen Chow slightly, but he waved his hand at Wu Mengda and said, "Brother Da, it's good to call me Yan Zai at ordinary times." You're welcome to sit down. ”

"Stephen Chow doesn't mind if I call you Xingzai, right?" Lu Yan smiled slightly, and asked very calmly, "I heard that you and Tony Leung are good friends?" ”

Stephen Chow, who heard this, couldn't help but shrink his pupils. But on the face, he smiled and said: "Yes, Wei Zai and I were very good friends when we entered the TVB training class." His acting skills are amazing......"

Lu Yan listened to Stephen Chow praise Tony Leung like this, but he could see some bitterness behind Stephen Chow's smiling surface, he just asked casually, but made Stephen Chow misunderstand that he wanted to contact Tony Leung. But Rao is like this, and the other party still spares no effort to recommend his good friend.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan lit a cigarette and said: "I may come up with the script recently, I hope you will play the leading role, I don't know you, are you interested?" ”

Stephen Chow, who was already a little lost, didn't react at all when he heard this

What the? Not to contact Tony Leung? Instead, they want me to be the leading actor, is that true? Lu Yan wants to ask me to be the leading actor?

Hong Kong is known as the "Hollywood of the East", with an annual output of hundreds of films, and actors of all sizes such as Ganges Sha, but since the 90s, the top spot on the box office list has almost always been "double Monday" in turn. Among these three superstars with the highest box office appeal, those whose acting skills have been recognized by professional awards many times are Chow Yun-fat and Stephen Chow; has the ability to independently produce movies, and the works can be named by themselves, only Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow; The films performed are not only rich in personal characteristics but also highly representative of society, and have even been repeatedly interpreted as a cultural phenomenon, only Stephen Chow.

Let such an actor play tricks?

In fact, in Lu Yan's view, the reason why Stephen Chow has later achievements is because of the experience and insights accumulated in his career, and many actors may gradually become numb and give up if they are like Stephen Chow. But he didn't, and he has been holding on to this day.

Opportunities are always for those who are prepared, and now Lu Yan's invitation has undoubtedly become a turning point for Stephen Chow

"Interested, of course interested" Stephen Chow nodded hurriedly, not even asking what type of movie it was and what the salary was......

Yes, he has been staying up for too long, it has been five or six years since he entered the industry.

Tony Leung, who was dragged by him to accompany him to the TVB training class for the exam, is now one of the well-deserved wireless popular students. And he is still running half-black and not red. Day after day, even he felt very tormented

Since someone is willing to praise himself as the leading actor, what else is there not to be willing to?

What's more, the person in front of him is a ghost director in Hong Kong. It is a miracle in the Hong Kong film industry, and the movie he said to be shot will definitely not be bad

Looking at Stephen Chow's very excited expression, Lu Yan felt a little bitter in his heart, such as Andy Lau, like Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung...... In fact, whether it is an actor or a director, no one in this line of work can survive. An instant hit? In the current Hong Kong entertainment industry, there are very few.

Lu Yan suddenly remembered Stephen Chow's famous sayings and sentences, and when fans were vying to imitate them. Due to the gradual popularization of computer networks in the late 90s, the movie "Journey to the West", which was not very popular with Hong Kong people after being staged in Hong Kong, was widely spread on the Internet in Chinese mainland, but it became one of the must-see movies for Chinese college students. The popularity of his "Journey to the West" is unparalleled and unprecedented in Chinese mainland. In particular, the dialogue "10,000 Years" is completely regarded as a classic and touching movie line by all Chinese young people.

He is known as one of the most box office appealing figures in Asia, and is respected as "Star Master", "King of Comedy" and "Best Actor".

is a person who has such brilliant achievements in the future, but now it is easy to be satisfied if he hopes to play a supporting role with more scenes

"Da Ge, Xingzi is in my script, and the main actors are the two of you." Lu Yan looked at the two people who were waiting for him, and said with a smile: "You two can have more contact during this time, and you will be notified when the script comes out."

As he spoke, Lu Yan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xingzai, I heard that you have read the book "Self-cultivation of Actors" written by Stanislavsky? ”

In fact, this book is a must-have book for many Hong Kong actors. But the so-called must-have, that is, to look through it when you are bored. Many people have heard about it, so they buy it and take a look. He Stephen Chow is no exception.

The reason why Lu Yan still remembers this book is all because of the scenes in "The King of Comedy" starring Stephen Chow.

Hearing this question, Stephen Chow smiled a little shyly: "There is a look, there is a look, but I can't understand it."

"Haha" Lu Yan suddenly laughed, in fact, he had also asked Chow Yun-fat this question. And the other party also said with a wry smile: I have seen it, but I can't understand it......

"Congratulations to Xingzai"

Wu Mengda's congratulations were not only congratulations to Stephen Chow, but even he himself never thought that the opportunity would come so quickly. According to his vision, "God of Gamblers" has just been completed and entered post-production. And "Rouge Buckle", it is rumored that the progress of filming is very slow.

Although Lu Yan invited him to sign a contract with Dongcheng Imaging, he obviously didn't expect that the other party would already have a new script ready to shoot so soon.

Moreover, Lu Yan still told them very directly. Stephen Chow is the protagonist of the set, and he is obviously the No. 1 actor in the supporting role

In such a situation, how can two people who have already suffered from the dull not be surprised

"Da Ge, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have missed this opportunity. Stephen Chow clenched his fists tightly, and he was suddenly full of desire for the future.

Originally, he had prepared a lot today, and even performed some scenes for Lu Yan on the spot without any problems. Unexpectedly, this little boss only gave a little good news after a brief conversation with himself

"By the way, Brother Da, what kind of script do you think Boss Lu will come up with?" It wasn't until he got out of the gate of Dongcheng Imaging that Stephen Chow was excited and began to guess about it.

Regarding this problem, Wu Mengda obviously looked down on Stephen Chow and said: "Don't worry, Boss Lu's script won't be bad." "The True Color of Heroes", "A Chinese Ghost Story" to the just-finished "God of Gamblers", his script is recognized as good. Since he decided to make you the leading actor, there must be considerations......"

Lu Yan's personality and many aspects, Wu Mengda has heard a lot about his deeds during the filming of "God of Gamblers". Especially Chow Yun-fat, in private, told Wu Mengda a lot of things about Lu Yan.

"It's also Boss Lu, and he's pretty good, very different from the bosses I've seen before." recalled that he had just come into contact with Lu Yan, and the peaceful appearance of the other party obviously made Stephen Chow remember it vividly: "There is no shelf at all, it is quite affinity"

In fact, Lu Yan is a person, and everyone who has been in contact with him knows it. Except on the set, it's like a pretty talkative friend. It's just that those media reporters in the outside world don't know Lu Yan, but the-for-tat confrontation with Lu Yan during the interview caused them to subconsciously think that the other party was such a person.

If Lu Yan is really an arrogant and unruly person, then how could he chat with Stephen Chow and them so kindly. As for those low-level staff, it is even more impossible, but the fact is the opposite, Lu Yan's personality has been praised by unanimous friends. Even many staff members who didn't say a few words to Lu Yan saw it.

When Stephen Chow and the others left, Yi Shouyi got up and said in surprise: "Boss, are you so optimistic about that star?" I don't think he's good-looking, and his acting skills are average."

Yi Shouyi is a very conscientious assistant, and when he heard Lu Yan mention Stephen Chow. He also deliberately found some information about Stephen Chow and the influence of his performance, but unfortunately the other party was just a trickster......

Lu Yan looked at Yi Shouyi, and suddenly smiled strangely: "He will become one of the most appealing actors at the Hong Kong box office, do you believe it?" Haha"
