Wang Qinian's stay in Hong Kong is also a place to discuss business.

After Ekin Cheng heard that Wang Qinian had an appointment, although the two did not know each other before, they also admired each other. Therefore, the appointment went very smoothly and the meeting atmosphere was harmonious.

"Brother Imen, I'm a fan of yours. Especially the movie "Chinese Heroes", I think it's great. In terms of the level of special effects technology in 98 years, it is already awesome! Wang Qinian gave a thumbs up, "It was also this movie that gave me confidence, in addition to Hollywood, Chinese movies can also play special effects!" ”

"Really?" Ekin Cheng looked a little surprised, "Director Wang's movie box office far exceeds the movie I acted!" The "Jianghu" of the little partner company is known as the Asian version of Captain America! ”

"It's too much, and my films are basically released on the mainland and around the world. Not to mention other markets, the mainland, Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets are the main battlefields of Chinese films. Brother Yimian, your "Crazy Boy" series could have been more popular, but in the mainland, it could not be released legally. Even so, the fame of "Crazy Boy" is not weaker than some blockbusters with a box office of hundreds of millions! Assuming that "Crazy Boy" can be released in the mainland, it is possible to break 100 million at the box office! Wang Qinian said.

""Crazy Boy" is not good, children will learn bad if they watch it!" Ekin Cheng shook his head and said, "I regret it a little, I made "Crazy Boy"! ”

In terms of the influence of black knife movies, "Crazy Boy" is undoubtedly the pinnacle! Especially among teenagers, at least, less influence is very widespread. In Hong Kong, "Crazy Boy" is a restricted-level film. In many countries and regions, "Crazy Boy" is a banned film.

Despite being banned, the tapes have spread across Asia, prompting many teenagers to follow suit. The brotherhood between the gangsters in it made a bunch of teenagers imitate the plot in the movie. Organized gangs in schools, worshipped handles, and even used table legs, steel pipes, and knives to fight in groups, and there were many bloodsheds.

From a cinematic point of view, "Crazy Boy" is undoubtedly a series of excellent movies. But. brings negative effects, making this series of films no less harmful than drugs.

"In addition to "Crazy Boy" (6 films), there are also "Fengyun" and "Chinese Heroes", you have already acted in 8 Hong Kong comic movies, are you interested in another "Sea Tiger"?" Wang Qinian asked.

"Yes!" Ekin Cheng is not pretentious.

"What do you think is the right amount of money?" Wang Qinian asked.

"Whatever! My salary is not as high as you think, and the media generally talks nonsense. Ekin Cheng doesn't mind exposing his shortcomings.

In fact, Ekin Cheng's salary is not a big secret. After all, he had a lot of movies before, which were invested by Golden Harvest. Generally, the salary is only two or three million.

After all, Ekin Cheng is not an international star, and movies are not as appealing in many regions as Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, and Jet Li. Therefore, the salary cannot be high.

"5 million yuan salary. What do you think? Wang Qinian asked.

"Okay, it's not low!" Ekin Cheng seemed very satisfied.

Be able to make a film that has received a lot of media attention. Moreover, if you can get a salary of 5 million, what can you be dissatisfied with. After all, Hong Kong movie stars are still quite able to endure hardships at present.

Later, self-depreciation was normal in the glory days of Hong Kong films, let alone in recessions. Like what. Chen Xiaochun: Many people claim that his salary is more than three million. But...... He often participates in small-budget movies with a budget of only two or three million yuan! This kind of small-budget film has a budget that does not meet the salary claimed by the media.

So, the theoretical salary is just that. can occasionally get a high salary, which does not represent many actors. has always been paid a high salary. If you have been unwilling to reduce the price, maybe the entire industry will not be able to afford you! Therefore, self-depreciation is the norm in the industry. Even the most popular superstar, if he wants to have a film to act, he has to lower his price.

Of course, the salary offered to Ekin Cheng in "Sea Tiger" is not a reduction in his value, but it is higher than Ekin Cheng's normal salary for playing outside scenes. It's just that there are no gossip media that chase after the wind and shadows, and the salaries they make up are high.

……

After signing the contract with Ekin Cheng for "Sea Tiger", Wang Qinian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after Ekin Cheng, the adaptation of this Hong Kong comic movie is more certain.

As for Guan Yuetong, the heroine of "Sea Tiger", Wang Qinian, with the cooperation of Hong Kong Golden Harvest Company, posted hero posts widely, allowing many actresses to audition.

A large number of people are invited to audition, whether it is successful or not, it increases the topicality of entertainment news.

However, none of the actresses who came to audition were accepted by Wang Qinian. It's not that they're playing tricks, it's that they're really inappropriate now.

For example, goddesses like Michelle Yeoh, Guan Zhilin, Maggie Cheung and other goddesses of the year are now old, and it is difficult to hide the traces of time with heavy makeup.

Wang Qinian has always been disgusted, and some elderly female stars have been active on the screen to play girl-type roles.

Of course, there are also some younger actresses, Cecilia Cheung, Zhong Xintong and other younger actresses came to audition, Wang Qinian inevitably thought too much because he thought of the later nude photos and Teacher Chen, and after that, he found an excuse and died.

In the end, the role of the heroine Guanyue Hitomi was played by Yang Weiwei from the little partner company. Anyway, the moon-gazing pupil in the Sea Tiger comics is a vase. Although her wisdom and talent are described, according to the plot, it is still a vase.

Next, the villain in "Sea Tiger" has the first force, and the "killer whale" Oga who has been suppressing the white army wave in the early days!

This role is also important in Sea Tigers!

Bai Junlang, Ogga, and Blue Dream, these are the three men with the heaviest roles in the whole drama of the Sea Tiger. One is positive and two are negative.

Bai Junlang is similar to Ogga, both are geniuses in martial arts.

Lan Meng is an intellectual genius, and Lan Meng's organization is growing, mainly relying on Lan Meng's layout and a bunch of loyal and powerful subordinates in his hands.

The role of Oga is not evil, if you don't take a position, he is the same kind of person as the sea tiger Bai Junlang. Even, in terms of Ogga's moral discipline, it is even higher than that of the sea tiger.

Wang Qinian decided to invite Nicholas Tse to participate in the performance with a salary of 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars. In 2002, Nicholas Tse, although he acted in movies, was mainly music-oriented. released albums and held concerts, although the value is not low, but in terms of film and television salary, it is still far inferior to Ekin Cheng.

There are a few villains left, Lan Meng, the leader of the Blue Dream organization, a wise villain, this role, Wang Qinian arranged for Huang Xiaoming.

The rest of the cast of characters is also star-studded.

Great White Shark Heavenly Dao - Billy Zhou

Wild leopard Qin Hong - Xu Jinjiang

Electric Eye Tony - Zhang Yaoyang

Jellyfish King Ugly Man - Cheng Gui'an

This list almost invites all the famous villains in Hong Kong.

Some other characters such as Raven the Lion, Virus Tom, Dream Breaker, etc., Wang Qinian was handed over to the rest of the film crew to be responsible for casting.

Basically, any character with a name or surname in "Sea Tiger" is very distinctive. Therefore, even if they are not playing the leading role, as long as the movie is shot at a high level, they can all be brilliant!

So, every character is a big cake. After throwing it out, there must be a large number of heroes who throw themselves into the net! (To be continued.) )
