Chapter 40: The Golden Partner (Part II)
Although he didn't see Zhou Xingxing's performance, Li Yihua has already decided that the role of Zhu Liao is none other than Zhou Xingxing, and Zhou Xingxing, who has been playing tricks, has now accumulated a lot of acting skills. Judging from the analysis of the role, Stephen Chow has indeed worked hard and has a certain understanding of the role of Zhu Liao.
In the next audition performance, Li Yihua was a little absent-minded, and I have to say that Zhou Xingxing's performance at this time was really not excellent, and it seemed very rusty. But it is more than enough to be competent for the role of Zhu Liao.
Li Yihua looked at Zhou Xingxing, who had been performing hard, smiled and said to Zhou Xingxing, who was still performing: "That's it, it's okay." ”
After Li Yihua shouted to stop, Zhou Xingxing looked gloomy, knowing that his performance was wrong, and he didn't know how many times, "Director, please give me a chance, I will definitely work hard to perform and not let you down." ”
Zhou Xingxing has been playing tricks wirelessly, and he cherishes every opportunity to act, but he is disappointed again and again. Today, I finally met a crew recruiting actors, and he tried it from the perspective of trying, hoping to be favored by the director.
Zhou Xingxing looked at Li Yihua and didn't speak, thinking that his performance was not good enough, so he bent over and said to Li Yihua: "I'm sorry, then I'll go first." ”
"How did you go? I haven't signed a contract yet. Li Yihua picked up the contract on the table and said.
Zhou Xingxing stopped stepping out of the threshold, with a surprised expression on his face, and immediately ran to the table, "Okay, okay, I'll sign, I'll sign." ”
"Xingzai, where is the development now, if you don't sign a company, how about coming to my company?" Li Yihua pretended not to care and sent an invitation to Zhou Xingxing.
Zhou Xingxing didn't expect to meet a noble person on the road today, not only could he act in a movie, but he also had a company to sign a contract with him, so he couldn't wait to nod his head.
Li Yihua watched Zhou Xingxing leave and laughed, he didn't expect that the "King of Comedy" was discovered by himself and signed with his own company, what a lucky thing.
"Andy, what are you doing, scare me, what makes you like this?" Fu Baorong walked in from outside the house, and when he walked to the door, he was startled by Li Yihua's laughter, and he was still sad just now, how could he be so happy.
"Brother Fu, this will be a treasure, hurry up and prepare the contract." Li Yihua saw Fu Baorong who walked in, and hurriedly expressed his joy.
"Whoever makes you value, at least let me see it." Fu Baorong ignored Li Yihua, who was excited, and said conservatively.
"Okay, you'll see you tomorrow, I promise it's a talent, pack up and go back to the company." Li Yihua packed up his things and said with a smile to his eldest brother.
"Aren't you still looking for actors? Why did you go back so early? Fu Baorong looked at Li Yihua, who was packing up his things, and asked suspiciously.
"No, I already have someone in mind." Li Yihua turned his head and said to Fu Baorong, who was packing up his things.
If you want to talk about Zhou Xingxing, you must say that Wu Mengda, the golden supporting role, they have achieved each other. Wu Mengda has become a symbol of Stephen Chow's films, and the two of them have formed their own unique comedy style in their performances. Wu Mengda has been in the film industry for more than 20 years, and has never starred in a real movie, all appearing as a foil, from an unprofessional father to a decadent and incompetent policeman, almost all over the joys and sorrows of the little people in the market. With his meticulous and traceless performance, he firmly sits in the position of Hong Kong's "Funny Male No. 2", and has become one of the few stars who are popular all over Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland by playing supporting roles.
Now Wu Mengda's circle calls him a bad gambler, and even wireless hides him. The habit of bad gambling has changed over the years, but the reputation has also deteriorated, and the people I have received are some small roles, and I still owe gambling debts.
Li Yihua saw that Wu Mengda did not have the kind of cheerfulness of later generations at all, perhaps because of the relationship between debt and life oppression, his whole person seemed a little submissive, and his body did not have the kind of fortune that came later, because the relationship between the skeleton seemed stronger than ordinary people, and a pair of slender eyes made him look more in line with the characters in the play.
", please be seated." Li Yihua observed Wu Mengdadao, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was in line.
"Director Li, don't be so polite, just call me Ada." Wu Mengda sat in front of Li Yihua.
"You are an old-timer in the circle, you can afford to say Dage, and you don't need to call me Director Li, just call me Andy." Li Yihua said with a smile.
"Alright, Andy." Li Yihua's words obviously relaxed Wu Mengda, and the director in front of him should be a very good talker.
"Da Ge, how many gambling debts do you still have signed now?" Li Yihua asked as he drank coffee.
"Andy, there isn't much left, that is, 50,000 yuan, and I'll be relaxed after paying it back." Wu Mengda was not embarrassed to be straightforward, and everyone in this circle knew it.
"Okay, Da Ge, I have a role here that is very suitable for you, and the appearance fee is 50,000." Li Yihua looked at Wu Mengda and wanted to help him, so he said his reserve price.
"Thank you, Andy, I have written down your kindness, but I don't know what role it is." Wu Mengda said, he didn't know how to thank Li Yihua, he only repaid him by acting well.
"Here's the script, and your character is the male lead." Li Yihua handed the script to Wu Mengda.
"Let me play the lead role?" Looking at the script with the words "Nightclub" written in his hand, listening to Li Yihua's words, Wu Mengda's eyes couldn't help but widen, he usually plays small roles, and this time let him play the leading role, but he couldn't think of it.
"If Da Ge is interested in my company, you can sign a contract with my company," Li Yihua said as he looked at the excited Wu Mengda.
People are proud of their confidants, Wu Mengda heard Li Yihua's invitation and hurriedly nodded.
After getting Wu Mengda, Li Yihua happily returned to the company. For the role of Xiaogangya, Li Yihua planned to play it himself, so he naturally thought of Wang Zhuxian.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding" Hearing the phone ringing, Wang Zuxian quickly ran to the telephone and picked up the phone.
"Zhu Xian, do you have time in the near future? If you have time, come to Hong Kong. Li Yihua said happily on the phone.
"What are you going to do in Hong Kong, not going." Wang Zhuxian said coquettishly.
"That's right, I'm going to make a movie in Hong Kong, and I need a heroine." Li Yihua knew that Wang Zuxian must be angry because he hadn't called recently, so he hurriedly explained.
"You make movies? You're not a writer, are you? Why are you making movies again, if you make them, I'll think about it. Wang Zhuxian hung up the phone and struggled there for a long time, not knowing whether to go or not.
Li Yihua heard Wang Zhuxian hang up the phone, and there was a triumphant smile, and he knew that Wang Zhuxian had agreed.
