175 The drunken god of song
Jinlong Building, in Zhang Jin's office on the second floor.
Zhang Jin and Leslie Cheung sat on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting about the script.
Leslie Cheung said: "I read the script and feel that the role of Onion is not suitable for me. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Jin was stunned and asked with some surprise: "No." ”
Leslie Cheung said with a smile: "It can be seen that the core of this film is Qiu Nan, whether it is the male number one or the male number two, both the male number one and the male number two are foils, among which the image of the onion head is simple and silly, although he is blind and dumb, but he has an optimistic personality, I feel ...... It is more appropriate for a newcomer to act, it would be better if he had just debuted and had a little acting experience, and the effect of the cooperation between the two newcomers is not pretentious, and it is easy to burst out of that kind of chemical effect. Tragic literary films, what you want is feeling, and if you feel right, this film can move people. ”
Leslie Cheung's words made Zhang Jin fall into contemplation, when he considered Leslie Cheung to star, it was because of his popularity, after all, if a literary film wants to sell more money, the leading actor must have a few big names to join.
"Besides, this script is so familiar, what about the male version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", you also know that I have played Ning Caichen, and there is no challenge to take on this kind of silly little scholar role." Leslie Cheung did not directly refuse Zhang Jin, and continued: "But I can play the second male lead, which is the doctor." ”
Zhang Jin was a little disappointed, but the willingness of people to play the second male lead also gave him enough face, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you Rong Shao, I will contact your agent to talk about the salary when I go back." ”
Leslie Cheung smiled and waved his hand and said: "What kind of salary to talk about, I am acting for free, you gave away two songs for nothing, I like it very much, what is it to give you a guest appearance as a male number two, I can call the shots in this matter." So decided! ”
"Okay, I'll have you a drink another day." Zhang Jin is also a cheerful person.
Leslie Cheung said: "I have a candidate for this male number one, I don't know if it suits your heart." ”
Zhang Jin said: "Which one? ”
"Zhang Xueyou." Leslie Cheung said: "Ayou has not been very smooth this year, the new album "In the Dream of Last Night" has only sold a few thousand copies, and there have been few music awards and nothing. Now that I'm addicted to alcoholism, if I can help, I'll do it. ”
This year's Zhang Xueyou can be described as a low point in his life, in addition to his record and no achievements, he is also miserable in the film industry, "Mong Kok Carmen" starred in the unlearned and self-righteous "black fly", and was hung up not long after his appearance in "SWAT Dragon Slayer".
Both the music and film worlds have failed, coupled with alcoholism and madness, and they are on the verge of being abandoned by Polygram.
"Zhang Xueyou......" Zhang Jin frowned and groaned, unable to think of one of the four heavenly kings in the future. There is also such a low past, "Okay, just him, take the time to ask him out to talk, but you have to tell him that if you want to take this play, you must quit drinking, if you can do it without drinking." I'll send him a few more songs. ”
"Gee, that's great!" Leslie Cheung stood up immediately when he heard this. Holding Zhang Jin's hand tightly, he said, "I'll thank you for Ayou first, the song you gave will definitely cheer him up." ”
Zhang Jin smiled and said, "Don't joke, let's first say that it's a Chinese song, and I can't play a Cantonese song." ”
"That's better than nothing!" Leslie Cheung is really happy in his heart, "I am currently in Taiwan, except for the Rolling Stones." Only you are strong, I heard that Meng Tingwei's debut album is about to break the 500,000 mark, congratulations. ”
After laughing, Zhang Jin said, "By the way, I seem to have heard someone talk about it." Zhang Xueyou was about to be given up by Polygram. ”
Leslie Cheung nodded, and said without concealing it at all: "Every day I drink alcohol, my throat is broken, and I have no personal appearance, so whoever is the boss will fire him for squid...... Do you want to sign it up? Would you like me to help you make the match? ”
Zhang Jin clapped his hands and said: "Those who know me are Rong Shaoye, and there will be heavy thanks after the matter is completed!" ”
Leslie Cheung said with a smile: "Let's not always be so polite, okay, you are willing to help Ayou has already given me enough face, and friends can help each other." ”
My brother is such a good person, and he always selflessly helps and carries every junior.
But why should such a good person commit suicide, hey!
…… Dividing line ......
Zhang Jin is a relatively lazy guy by nature, and it is easy to satisfy, if the external pressure is a little small, this guy will want to be lazy and slippery, for his character, Chen Shaohua knows the roots, so he took advantage of his three-minute enthusiasm for English, and hurriedly published a special recruitment information in "Jin Weekly".
Recruitment: Special translator, required to be proficient in all the terminology of film and television majors, understand the development laws of film and television in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Asia, Europe and the United States and other countries, proficient in film and television related legal provisions, foreign film and television graduates are preferred.
If the above requirements can be met, the contract will be signed immediately after the interview, with a monthly salary of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if the interview is outstanding, a temporary welfare house will be distributed as appropriate.
"Jin Weekly" is absolutely at the top of the Xiangjiang Entertainment Magazine, and many elites in the industry are also die-hard fans of the magazine.
"See no, see no, people's Jinlong has begun to develop abroad!"
"Jinlong is not satisfied with the passive situation, and begins to take the initiative!"
"A script sells for a sky-high price, and then Jinlong swells, hey, Zhang Jin really thinks he is like a bull!"
"He still wants to impact Hollywood at his level, go to Hollywood, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon over there, he will be at the bottom of Hollywood at most!"
"I just watched Zhang Jin hit the street quietly!"
All kinds of grape sour mentality in the industry are all jealous of Zhang Jin, who made Zhang Jin the most popular and popular screenwriter in Xiangjiang.
No matter how the industry complains and despises it, there are still many people who go to Jinlong to interview for special translators, and not only that, but there is also a long queue.
The little secretaries Li Xiaowei, Chen Shaohua, and Wei Jiahui interviewed for three whole days, but the bitter particles were not harvested, and the people who came didn't say anything, but most of the indiscriminate roles, some of them were not as good as Li Xiaowei.
Occasionally, there are a few who perform well, but they start with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan, and they really regard Jinlong as a Kaizi, for these few, Chen Shaohua directly gave a sentence: "Go out and turn right, don't send it!" ”
"Hey, I'm so worried, I can't imagine that recruiting a translator is so difficult!" Chen Shaohua was very haggard, flipped through the last few resumes and said: "There are still ten, speed up the progress, no, it's really not possible Vivian, you work part-time first, and give double salary." ”
Li Xiaowei nodded, but there was no objection.
"Huh." Wei Jiahui, who was flipping through the resume, stared at a resume and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Why is she here?" (To be continued......)
