If you want to invite an actor to join the filming of a new film, it is not very difficult. What's more, the director of this film is a representative of the new (harmonious) wave. And the company behind him is a new art city like Zhongtian at this moment. Of course, a good script and the actors who shoot it together are also crucial.

However, at this moment, Zhong Zhentao is still filming Shaw Brothers' films after all, and his rash participation in the filming of new films in New Art City will indeed have an impact. This depends on whether Lu Yan can convince the other party.

If you want to convince an actor, you have to know something about him.

As Zhong Zhentao, one of the five tigers of Wenna, it is difficult for Lu Yan to understand it. What's more, Lu Yan, who had already come to the 'British Café' in Causeway Bay early, had done a lot of work for this.

In fact, in the early days of Wenna's disbandment, Zhong Zhentao was indeed the best. He went to Taiwan alone to be Prince Charming and acted in a lot of romance movies. For example, "Dream Clothes" and so on, and he is also relatively proud in the music world. "Let Everything Follow the Wind", "Love Changes", "If There Is a Fate" and so on are all songs on the list, and they have been sung for a while. Later, although some went downhill, there were also good songs such as "When I Lean on You", especially in Chinese songs, there was once a song "As long as you live better than me" was all the rage.

When Zhong Zhentao and Alan Tam went to the Taiwanese entertainment industry together, they participated in the filming of many movies. Perhaps it was because he saw Alan Tam quickly become a leading figure in the music scene after returning to Hong Kong to develop, so he also returned to Hong Kong last year to develop.

Speaking of which, Zhong Zhentao's luck is not bad, and "Seven Wrong Loves" filmed in Hong Kong won the third place in the total box office in Hong Kong last year. Because of this, he began to become the favored object of many directors.

The setting of the English café is chic and the music is very comfortable. Lu Yan waited for Zhong Zhentao's arrival and began to study the script of "Shanghai Night".

In fact, Zhong Zhentao really took Lu Yan's phone call to heart, and he rushed over after the filming was completed on the set.

"Mr. Zhong, this Mr. Lu has been waiting for you for a long time." After the waiter brought Zhong Zhentao to Lu Yan's table, he immediately left with interest.

"It deserves the title of 'chic brother', and it's really good!" Lu Yan muttered in his heart, got up with a smile and shook hands with Zhong Zhentao and said, "Hello, Brother B!" My name is Lu Yan, just call me Yan Zai. ”

"Oh! It's you ......" Zhong Zhentao obviously recognized Lu Yan, who had an affair with Mi Xue in the gossip weekly magazine some time ago, and he immediately shook his hand with the other party very graciously and said: "Hello, I saw you in the newspaper some time ago. ”

"Doom!" Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled: "Those are all scribbled by the media." ”

Seeing Lu Yan's red face, Zhong Zhentao smiled comfortably: "I understand!" I know! ”

Originally, Zhong Zhentao thought that it would be a director from Xinyicheng to talk to him, but he didn't expect it to be a shy offspring. But because of this, the atmosphere immediately became relaxed.

Lu Yan was not polite, and directly pushed the script of "Shanghai Night" in front of Zhong Zhentao and said, "Brother B, you can take a look at this script first." After the director got the script, he thought that the main character should be you. Of course, it's not that the director doesn't value you. It's just that now he's got some things to do, so that's why he asked me to come over. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to work together, I am the planner of this play. ”

Zhong Zhentao, who took over the script, did not rush to open it, but asked: "Who is the director of this play?" ”

"Tsui Hark!"

"Oh?" Zhong Zhentao was a little shocked and asked curiously: "Didn't Director Xu just finish filming the third part of "Best Partner"......

"Yes! However, the director and producer of this movie are all him. ”

Lu Yan didn't need to say anything, Zhong Zhentao naturally understood.

He nodded suddenly and asked, "What about the female number one?" ”

"Zhang Aijia! It has been negotiated. ”

"Shhh This Zhong Zhentao did gasp a little, he naturally knew that Zhang Aijia was the heroine of "The Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order". What's more, now Hong Kong is full of propaganda for this movie.

Zhong Zhentao didn't ask anything more, and Lu Yan naturally didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at Zhong Zhentao with interest, only to see Zhong Zhentao slowly open the script and start reading.

"The movie "Shanghai Night" mainly tells the tender drama of two women and one man. It seems that the fate of men and women during the war years, the ten-year covenant can suffer more twists and turns. I've studied scripts, and I'm very dramatic. As long as the time comes, it is a little sensational, and it is not wrong to say that it can be earth-shattering and cry ghosts and gods. Lu Yan saw Zhong Zhentao reading the script seriously, and began to brag about it.

In fact, the later "Shanghai Night" can indeed be groundbreaking, but Xu Laowei has to deal with it in a comedic way. However, it is from here that we can see the maverick film language and talent of Xu Laowei.

Zhong Zhentao, who had browsed the general content, closed the script and suddenly smiled: "Yan Zai, you are really good at selling melons and boasting about yourself!" ”

"Brother B, look at what you said." Lu Yan felt that communicating with Zhong Zhentao was extremely relaxed. "Not just the director, I also think this role is very suitable for you. And this is definitely a great way for you to return to the Hong Kong market. Sister Aijia plays against you, I think there is no problem at all. When the time comes, coupled with the publicity of the new art city, the box office will definitely not be bad. ”

In fact, these things don't need Lu Yan to say at all, how can Zhong Zhentao, who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, not understand. When he heard that the director was Tsui Hark and the heroine was Zhang Aijia, he had already agreed in his heart. As for reading the script, it's just a process.

"Alas! It looks like it's going to be hard again. ”

Zhong Zhentao's words suddenly made Lu Yan's eyes light up: "Brother B, it's worth the hard work." You don't know, I used to love your songs! It's a pity that you didn't release the film later......"

"Oh? Then why didn't you just say it. ”

Lu Yan shook his hand and said calmly: "I just wanted to talk to you about work, one yard to one yard." If you don't want to act, it's useless for me to say that I like you! ”

"You're good, I'm making you a friend." Lu Yan's simple words really made Zhong Zhentao appreciate it very much. "And whose song do you like to listen to now, Aaron?"

"No, I like to listen to Leslie Cheung now." Lu Yan was not afraid that Zhong Zhentao would mind that he didn't like Alan Tam very much, so he replied very frankly.

"You like his songs! It's not bad, that song "Monica" is so popular. ”

…………………………………….

Lu Yan's conversation with Zhong Zhentao did not talk about the salary at all. After all, Lu Yan just came forward to invite, if he really wants to cooperate, of course Zhong Zhentao has to go to Xinyi City to sign a contract!

In fact, Zhong Zhentao is indeed suspected of being deceived by Lu Yanlian, he deliberately said that Tsui Hark and Zhang Aijia deliberately made Zhong Zhentao think that this "Shanghai Night" is a big investment and a big card. As for whether this is the case, we will understand the situation after Zhong Zhentao joins.

may be because they both have a hobby in music, Lu Yan and Zhong Zhentao immediately became like friends who have known each other for many years. In addition, Zhong Zhentao also has the heart to have a good relationship with this 'assistant director', and tonight is indeed a very happy conversation.

And Lu Yan, who got Zhong Zhentao's nod, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The task arranged by Tsui Hark was finally successfully completed. Next, just wait for the official boot.
