Chapter 173: The Actor's Request

"I said Brother Fa, you didn't ask for leave today just to invite me to afternoon tea, right?" Lu Yan smiled and looked at Chow Yun-fat, who looked mysterious, but wondered who the other party was dating. 【Reading Network】(Hand-typed novel)

Originally, "Rouge Buckle" should have been preparing to hold a start-up ceremony, and all the actors have been selected. And the details of the costumes that should be paid attention to, as well as a lot of the scenes during the shooting, are also prepared. I didn't want to be just when Lu Yan was about to start worshipping God on an auspicious day, but he unexpectedly received an invitation to the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

"The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" have been nominated for many awards, so Lu Yan and others officially decided to wait until they participated in the Golden Horse Awards to come back to hold the opening ceremony of "Rouge Buckle".

Although Leslie Cheung unexpectedly failed to be selected for 'Best Actor', Chow Yun-fat and Dillon were still selected for the glory of the Academy Awards.

Although the box office performance of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Taiwan is also quite popular, it is still not as shocking as "The True Color of Heroes". Brother Xiao Ma and Brother Hao have been shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards again, which undoubtedly proves the acting skills of Chow Yun-fat and Dillon. This is obviously a stimulus for their film appointment.

But the day before he flew to Taiwan, Chow Yun-fat unexpectedly asked Wang Jing for a leave and specially asked Lu Yan out for afternoon tea. This is a very strange thing, and Chow Yun-fat is usually very serious during the filming. never said that he took leave because of something, but today he specially made an appointment with Lu Yan.

Looking at Lu Yan's puzzled expression, Chow Yun-fat smiled and said, "Yan Zai, I asked a friend to come over today." When the time comes, I want you to help him? ”

"Help him?" Lu Yan was surprised, but replied, "You said so, if I can help, I will definitely help."

Since Chow Yun-fat cooperated with Lu Yan, he has never spoken like this. begged Lu Yan to help others, and it would be even more none. Even if it was Andy Lau, it was Lu Yan who first mentioned it, and Chow Yun-fat opened his mouth to express his praise. I think the other party is good, and if I can help, I will help.

And who is this person Chow Yun-fat is talking about now?

"Brother Fa, could it be that one of your relatives can't find a job or something?"

"If I have relatives who can't find a job, how dare I trouble you" Chow Yun-fat heard Lu Yan's ridicule, and immediately scolded with a smile: "You big boss, I only dare to ask you for this favor if I have big things, otherwise, wouldn't I lose a lot?" ”

"Who's that?"

"A friend in the circle, but now that he is in some difficulty, I think, you are the only one who can help him"

"Friends in the circle? Could it be that there is talent buried? The actor is good, since you Fa Ge said so, he must be a good actor. As long as it's appropriate, I'll definitely use it. Although Lu Yan said while laughing, his words were obviously serious. Now that Dongcheng Imaging is vigorously developing, he can't ask for a potential actor, and Chow Yun-fat is willing to introduce it, it must be a good actor.

"It does have a lot of potential, but he was ...... by Taiwan"

Before Chow Yun-fat finished speaking, someone in the private room had already pushed the door in.

Lu Yan looked at the other party and immediately smiled bitterly. No wonder Chow Yun-fat would come to ask him for this favor, as if he really had this opportunity to help him resolve this friend's predicament.

Leung Ka-fai is an excellent all-rounder, with a wide variety of colors and rich changes, and is quite malleable, and later he was called a 'thousand-faced actor'. But when Lu Yan saw him now, he actually had a little bit of shyness.

"Fa Ge"

When Chow Yun-fat saw Leung Ka-fai coming, he immediately greeted: "Sit, this is Yan Zai, you should know it."

Seeing Lu Yan, Liang Jiahui unconsciously said with more respect: "Director Lu"

"Just call me Yanzai, sit"

When Leung Ka-fai and Andy Lau were in the same wireless training class in the early days, there was a rehearsal, and the director asked Leung Ka-fai and Andy Lau to be assistants to Chow Yun-fat. On the second day, when the director started filming, Leung Ka-fai was dressed in black and sunglasses, flying and domineering, and he robbed Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau of the limelight, which made the director feel very depressed. But reality is always ruthless, when Andy Lau's "The Condor Heroes" was broadcast on the radio in 84, Leung Jiahui got a ruthless termination letter.

However, Leung Ka-fai regards acting as a profession at all. unexpectedly got promoted by the famous Li Hanxiang. Began to enter the film industry.

After arriving in Beijing, Li Hanxiang asked him to shave his head to play Emperor Xianfeng. After filming Li Hanxiang's "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace". It was also the film "Listening to Politics with the Curtain" that made him fortunate to win the Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards last year, becoming the youngest actor in Hong Kong

However, the former made him suffer a lot, because "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" was a co-production between Hong Kong and the mainland at the beginning of the opening up, and the relationship between the two places was very bad at this time, and a large market for Hong Kong film distribution was in Taiwan, and almost all the funds for Hong Kong films came from Taiwan.

At this time, the Taiwan Cultural Affairs Bureau had a rule that all actors who had made movies in the mainland would be banned in Taiwan. Liang Jiahui won the actor at a young age, and suddenly became the target of the Taiwan authorities, and the Taiwan company asked him to write a letter of repentance, but he just didn't want to. So in Taiwan, all films in which he starred were not allowed to enter theaters. Not being able to enter Taiwan's cinemas means losing a large chunk of box office revenue.

So for the whole year of last year, Leung Jiahui didn't get a film contract. As a result, losing the Taiwan market is equivalent to no filming. Hong Kong film companies did not dare to ask him to make films. So, Leung Jiahui, who conquered the Academy Awards with his superb acting skills as soon as he made a move, was "laid off".

It is precisely because Leung Ka-fai and Andy Lau have had many opportunities to cooperate and meet with Chow Yun-fat that they are very lucky to get the support of this increasingly successful Fa brother in the Hong Kong film industry.

"Yanzai, you should know what I mean, right?" Chow Yun-fat said with some expectation, but Leung Jiahui would not face Lu Yan at all. When he received Chow Yun-fat's call, he felt a little incredulous

Of course Lu Yan knows about Liang Jiahui. Leung Ka-fai is indeed a very good actor. Moreover, he is also very happy to form this good relationship and said: "Tomorrow, Hui Zai will go to Taiwan with us"

"Thank you, Director Lu" Although I don't know what will happen, Lu Yan agreed without hesitation, which made Leung Jiahui very grateful.

And Chow Yun-fat obviously believes that Lu Yan has such ability. It's not just because Lu Yan's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, but also because Dongcheng Imaging is also developing more and more. Especially in Taiwan, Lu Yan has a very good connection, and because of this, Chow Yun-fat dared to ask Lu Yan's head

"What have you been doing lately?"

"Setting up a stall in Causeway Bay"

"Hmm" Lu Yan in his previous life did hear that Liang Jiahui had set up a stall after being banned by Taiwan, but now the other party's true answer really surprised him.

On the contrary, Liang Jiahui didn't think it was a big deal and said: "We have a lot of customers, and many customers really think I am familiar, and ask me suspiciously, "You and that acting Leung Jiahui are really similar." I smiled and said, "I'm Leung Ka-fai."

Although Liang Jiahui said so optimistically, Lu Yan was obviously able to understand the other party's suffering. He was a little puzzled and said: "Just because Taiwan blocked you, there is no film appointment?" ”

"Nope"

"Are you interested in joining Dongcheng Images?"

Lu Yan's straightforward invitation suddenly made Liang Jiahui stunned. Although the other party promised to help, try to unblock. But after all, how things turned out is not yet out. According to ordinary people, they must wait for Taiwan to lift the ban before making such an invitation. But Lu Yan was invited?

It was Chow Yun-fat, who immediately reacted and said: "Hui Zai, now that the image of Dongcheng is in full swing, do you still have to think about it?" ”

"No, I don't want to"

"Then after going to Taiwan tomorrow, come back and sign a contract" said, Lu Yan suddenly said: "Regardless of whether Taiwan has lifted your ban, I will sign your good actors, there may be ups and downs, but I firmly believe that there will always be a future." ”

"Thank you, Director Lui"

"Thank you, let's all thank Fa Ge, he helped me introduce such a good actor, I am very grateful" Lu Yan didn't feel that Chow Yun-fat was making trouble for him, for being able to sign Leung Jiahui, it was definitely a very good choice for Lu Yan.

This actor is worth cultivating by himself

Hearing Lu Yan say this, Chow Yun-fat was a little embarrassed and said, "Yan Zai, you should come less."

After all, he found such a troublesome thing for Lu Yan, and now that the other party is willing to help so directly, Chow Yunfa is very happy.

"What do you mean by Shaolai Hui Zai, but the actor, you introduce me to an actor, I really can't ask for it" Lu Yan laughed and continued: "It's you, when will your contract expire?" Is there any interest in coming over to my ......"

In fact, this is not the first time that Lu Yan has issued such an invitation, but Chow Yun-fat still has several movies with New Art City. So now he can't pass the Dongcheng image at all. In fact, Chow Yun-fat is indeed very optimistic about Dongcheng Image. If it weren't for the signing of the contract, it is estimated that he would have signed under the name of Lu Yan's company a long time ago.

"You wait, I'm afraid you won't shoot the film if I really come over then."

"you, you haven't come here yet, I always ask you to come over and shoot. If you really sign in to the company's name, I will treat you as a cash cow without changing the law" When Lu Yan heard this, he immediately laughed and scolded: "My words are never deceiving, after you watch "God of Gamblers", your salary will definitely have to rise."

Chow Yun-fat chatted with Lu Yan with a smile, but Leung Jiahui looked at Lu Yan in surprise. This director feels very unusual to him
