Jack made a film, and he made a film in Hong Kong, and casting is not difficult at all. And according to Ning Huan's list of bad tastes, it is not difficult to choose a role.

The hero's daughter and his daughter's friend are naturally played by twins, who plays the male protagonist's daughter who is saved in the end, and who plays the unlucky friend is just a matter that does not need to be discussed. If he could, the role of seducing little girls to Southeast Asia and then selling them should be played by Edison Chen. If you can, Nicholas Xie can play a gangster who was cuckolded by Edison Chen, if Zhang Zhizhi is forced to be stuffed into the crew by Mr. Xiang, how to arrange her role is also difficult, and you can't spoil the rhythm of the whole story in order to make up someone's bad taste, right? It's best to estimate that the Filipinos won't be able to act, so they can only let the Chinese make up for it, and it's not difficult to find a guy with a black and thin little foreign blood to play the villain in Hong Kong, anyway, there are many Indians, Indonesians, and Filipinos here. Shen Zhenghui even thought of letting Gao Fei play the gang leader. Chinese gangsters harm their compatriots abroad, which is also more in line with the facts, and it also reduces the disgust of Southeast Asian countries, otherwise, after watching this film, these countries will be seated in the right seat, they don't have the heart of the five permanent members of the United Nations, Rooster Country was hacked so badly in "Hurricane Rescue", "Hurricane Rescue" is still good at the box office in Rooster Country.

China's national mentality, well, I don't know how to evaluate it, but when Chinese socialism is mixed with Chinese imperialism, a group of people who used to have a fragile soul may become mentally strong, and they may not be able to say that they are secretly cool in the depths.

Jack Cheng took the script and went home to read it to his wife. At this time, after listening to Yang Shoucheng's words again, Jack Cheng began to think about this problem seriously. But this kind of thinking can't tell outsiders that it's his own agent. He was also reluctant to show weakness and anxiety about his old age. So the only one who could discuss this issue with him was his wife.

The sister-in-law is also a top star in the circle, although she has no longer returned to her old business for many years, her vision is still there. The sister-in-law read the script and listened to Jack Cheng's narration, not to mention anything else, she was relieved first.

"What's wrong? What do you think of this script? ”

"That's what the script is...... It's all about your performance. The sister-in-law said in accordance with her man's temperament.

"That's it!" The eldest brother began to sigh again, looking full of confidence, "Of course my movies have to look at my watch, this director actually pointed fingers at me in action design. ”

"Jack," the sister-in-law said earnestly, "I don't think what Lao Yang said is wrong, you are old after all......"

"I can still fight!" Brother Cheng was not convinced.

"Can you fight, and how many more years can you fight?" The sister-in-law held her forehead and said, "Can you still shoot the same as when you were young?" Don't be convinced. ”

Brother Cheng was a little annoyed. But in the face of this wife, he still tried to suppress his breath, "You are like Lao Yang who is ready for me to accept the humiliation of that young director?" ”

"Humiliation?" The sister-in-law smiled, stood up and massaged her husband's shoulder, "What, such a treacherous person as Lao Yang would let you do this kind of thing, he must tell you that when you cooperate with the director, people will definitely be amiable to you." Bringing together younger generations. ”

The eldest brother was told by his wife and couldn't help laughing. waved his hand, "I'm older than his father, and I'll definitely take care of him." ”

"You're wrong," the sister-in-law saw that the eldest brother had already been convinced, and it was just to be angry to talk like this in front of his wife, so she coaxed him and began to talk about business. "People's dad is not idle in the mainland, their family has a big TV drama company in the mainland, and his dad is also famous in the circle, and his dad is three years older than you."

"TV Series ......"

"Don't look down on TV series, maybe people make more money than movies." Sister-in-law said.

Big brother has a look on his face.

"I'm serious. Spending one or two million to make a movie like Hong Kong, and then three or five million box office is a big profit, it's really not as good as others making TV series! ”

Jack Cheng was a little stunned, "How do you say that kind of movie is comparable?" ”

"Now Hong Kong is full of this kind of movie," the sister-in-law continued, "There are only a few movies that can sell well every year, Zhou Xingxing finally won the award for "Shaolin Football", who would give him the award before?" Hong Kong films have declined, he is the only strong banner, and the judges no longer adhere to principles. ”

"He ......" Brother Cheng recalled the past, and felt really embarrassed, the two weeks of the year are no longer in the pond of Hong Kong.

"Infernal Affairs" is also the same, the news media desperately touted what to save the market, that is, the market world is completely inadequate." The sister-in-law pinched the eldest brother's shoulder, "Your development space is not in Hong Kong at all." ”

"Where's that?" Brother Cheng asked casually, and then reflected, "You don't mean the mainland, right?" As a patriotic artist, the eldest brother naturally expresses loyalty to the party and patriotism on any occasion, but he still has no worries about talking to his wife in private, "The mainland market is still too small." ”

"But there's a lot of potential!" The sister-in-law analyzed, "Especially this director Shen Zhenghui, one of his films has a box office of 570 million in the mainland, which shows that this market has great potential." ”

The eldest brother also reacted, "You mean, his father is very connected in the mainland, and he himself is also a good director, so should you cooperate with him well?" ”

"You definitely want to think about it yourself, but you just think too highly of yourself, so you don't want to think in this direction." The sister-in-law said, "Jack, you are a star from Hong Kong, the box office is not too bad in Hong Kong, and even in Asia, but this market is too small, you have to go to Hollywood, but it is too risky for Hollywood, you can do well in every movie in Hong Kong, and you will definitely not lose money, but it is different in Hollywood." How can you possibly guarantee that every movie will make money? ”

"Earn!" Jack Cheng said, "Isn't "Rush Hour 2" $350 million worldwide? The eldest brother deliberately raised the bar with his sister-in-law, "Of course, compared with his $400 million box office, it is still a little worse, but I earn no less than him!" ”

"Really?" The sister-in-law asked rhetorically. "The distribution rights in Japan are in the hands of Kasuga, and that's his parent company."

"I think it should be the same, at least." The eldest brother muttered that if the other party was a well-known Hollywood director, he would not have any temper, and even if the other party was also so young, he would not be jealous. But this is a guy of the same kind as him, far younger than him, and his achievements are beyond him and his contemporaries, and far beyond a lot, which makes him a little uneasy when facing this person. Especially when the other party said that he grew up watching his own movies, this is a bit almost mocking for him.

"Think about it yourself." Seeing that her husband had already figured it out, her sister-in-law was also relieved, "I made soup, and Zu Ming is coming back today." I'm going to see the fire. ”

"He's coming back today?" The eldest brother was also surprised.

"You don't care about your son at all," the sister-in-law was angry, "Let him enter the entertainment industry and don't take care of him well, look at who he interacts with every day?" I finally called him back, it's rare that you are here, you are not allowed to run, stay at home and have a meal with the family. ”

Facing his wife's anger, the eldest brother laughed with him. "Okay, okay, eat at home." He stepped forward and hugged his sister-in-law, "I'll eat you first......"

The sister-in-law struggled a little twisted, "It's all old husbands and wives, and they still do this." ”

"I'll make it up to you!" The eldest brother laughed.

"Compensation?" The sister-in-law struggled angrily, "You didn't listen to my words at all, what did you think of the old lady?" ”

"I know, I know," the eldest brother hurriedly used his hands and mouth. "For Zu Ming, I will also deal with the director well."

"Then you will lead by example to manage your son?"

"Next time, I'll take my son to meet Director Shen!" The eldest brother hurriedly promised.

The room is spring, so that when Zu Ming returns home, the atmosphere of the family eating together is a little delicate.

……

Since the eldest brother has figured out this matter, the progress of the whole plan is quite smooth. The paparazzi kept filming Yongsheng and Yinghuang's senior executives interacting with each other, and then Shen Zhenghui appeared in Yongsheng and Yinghuang's office again. The gossip in the circle also began to circulate, the new film of the eldest brother Jack Cheng began the official casting, and all kinds of fierce news were constantly exposed, and the young actors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry were expecting a big man to suddenly take a fancy to him, no matter what price he paid for it. In fact, there are indeed many actors who are willing to join the crew without pay. But don't get paid, isn't this looking down on people? Shen Zhenghui can't do such a thing.

Yinghuang and Yongsheng each sent one person to serve as the producer of the film, and the other producer's position was left to Shen Zhenghui, but in fact, as far as the entire casting is concerned, Shen Zhenghui is the final decision, and Yinghuang and Yongsheng are just providing candidates. Yinghuang's producer is Jack Cheng, and the actual operation is Boss Yang. Boss Yang has signed a lot of young handsome men and beauties over the years, and he is counting on being able to use movies to raise their worth, in this film, he recommends the most people, external publicity is one price, and the actual accounting is another price, at least the price quoted to Shen Zhenghui is a conscience price.

A large number of actors in this film are vases, especially female characters, and the twins are basically placed in it for everyone to see. But Shen Zhenghui took a preventive shot in advance, saying that the requirements for actors in the movie will be very strict, and ask them to be mentally prepared. At this time, the two major producers are trying to stuff people first, and then talk about the rest, even if they can't act, isn't there just a big-name director here? It's just a good time to train it.

recommended Zhang Zhizhi to the head of the family, but in the end, seeing that the actresses had no roles, he no longer insisted on it, but recommended a lot of cheap and powerful actors, especially the guys who played the villains of the underworld, from temperament to acting skills, they basically acted in their true colors. For Edison Chen, who specializes in deceiving people with his face, it is enough to only need to act in his true colors, which is not difficult for him at all.

So in this film, in fact, the most difficult thing is the male lead, that is, the role played by Jack Cheng. He's going to play a role that's completely different from what he's used to in roles. Juggling is no longer the focus of this film, in a way, it can be regarded as his transformational work. I don't know if Jack Cheng understands this, every time Shen Zhenghui talks to him about the role and action design, expresses his requirements and the final effect, his own attitude seems very good. Kind. This made Shen Zhenghui feel that this gentleman did not seem to be difficult to get along with.

At another banquet, Jack Cheng finally brought his son over, the father and son smiled unscrupulously, and Xiao Cheng seemed a little restrained. When he toasted Shen Zhenghui at the behest of his father, he was also called Shen Zhenghui and Uncle Shen.

Shen Zhenghui hurriedly said that it was enough to call his brother, but as soon as he called his uncle, his seniority was completely messed up. Jack Cheng felt that this seemed to take advantage of Shen Zhenghui, and finally couldn't help laughing. Xiao Zuming just entered the industry in 2003. filmed a typical popcorn movie like "Thousand Machines 2: Flower War". In the case of a box office slump in Hong Kong movies, the results of this movie are quite passable. Anyway, Yang Shoucheng takes the path of packaging his own artists with movies, which is different from companies that specialize in making movies, and takes the fan route. However, it is just to catch up with this batch, and if you want to become big in the future, you still have to cooperate with professional companies. This is also the reason why a large number of domestic films will have his investment in the future. Jack is considered to be his business weapon, and the interests of the two are the same.

Jack Cheng did not mention the requirement of letting his son join the crew very well, Prince Long is far from his eldest brother in any aspect, a typical second generation of stars who has not experienced hardships, but he is still a good person in terms of his tutor. It's just that after drinking, I'm a little debauched. At this time, he showed the same crazy aura as his Lao Tzu, and it is no wonder that he did such a thing in the end. Shen Zhenghui felt that he and his father were like children who didn't grow up, and his mother was really heartbroken.

After several drinking parties to get closer, Jack Cheng found that Shen Zhenghui was unusually serious at the wine table. This stimulated another psychological advantage for him, after all, the real chaos in your circle is no longer a legend in the end, but the real side that appears to everyone who can surf the Internet, so every time he is at a drinking party, he wants to embarrass Shen Zhenghui and arrange various female stars or something to make love with Shen Zhenghui. For a man, it seems to be a weakness to be too serious in such a scene. Fortunately, the other people present were still relatively sober and knew to stop the eldest brother and not let him make too much trouble. But the eldest brother is such a bad person, he will go crazy when he drinks too much, and all kinds of meat and vegetables on the wine table come together, which makes Shen Zhenghui feel that the entertainment industry is simply the source of evil. His own is simply not worth mentioning.

Fortunately, Fukuda Mitsumi soon helped Shen Zhenghui solve this trouble, Fujido Xiangcheng and Ozawa Maya followed him closely to attend every banquet like Shen Zhenghui's personal bodyguards, and the two Japanese women deliberately pretended not to understand Chinese, as long as a female star came up, they dared to do it, even if the eldest brother came up. Fujido Kazuki even served in front of all the faces at the banquet. kicked a chair to pieces, this behavior that greatly affected the atmosphere of the wine table had to let Shen Zhenghui come out to play a round in the end.

It didn't take long for such embarrassment to take Mitsumi Fukuda herself from Japan to Hong Kong to personally discuss cooperation with Yinghuang and Yongsheng's bosses. Mitsumi Fukuda's own momentum has changed greatly over the years, although it is not domineering, at least it is awe-inspiring and cannot be offended. She treats Jack Cheng politely but not kindly, which makes Jack Cheng, who has always been liked by Japanese girls, a little disappointed. At the reception dinner, Mitsumi Fukuda hugged Shen Zhenghui, and her indifferent smile seemed to be enough to explain the attitude.

Shen Zhenghui didn't quite understand what Mitsumi Fukuda meant by coming over so anxiously, until a stack of magazines was brought out.

"When did I play Double Fly with the twins? Also night party Zhang Zhizhi? Have an uncovered meeting with Jack Cheng until dawn? Shen Zhenghui looked at these newspapers and felt that he had been hacked, and it was no wonder that Mitsumi Fukuda flew over from Japan.

"I'll just be distracted," said Mitsumi Fukuda, "I hate it most than anyone who steps on me," she pouted, "this kind of thing is fake at first glance, but it can't stand up to gossip magazines." ”

"Isn't it fake at first glance?"

"It's so naïve," Mitsumi Fukuda exclaimed, "and there will be newspaper reports in the future that Zhou Xingxing and the heroine of "Kung Fu" are playing SM on the night of the audition!" Can you believe it? ”

"To be honest, I didn't believe it at first," Shen Zhenghui said, "I also know that the big mouth is unreliable to speak, but then I think that as a man, it is difficult to say that this kind of thing will not happen, but after learning about Zhou Xingxing's personality, I don't think he can do it so much." ”

"Look, don't you believe it?" Mitsumi Fukuda spreads her hands.

"Huh?"

"Can't you see it?" Mitsumi Fukuda tilted her head, "Someone is premeditating to hack you!" ”

"What do I do?" Shen Zhenghui was stunned, "It should be a female star, right?" Maybe it was Yang Fatzi who did it, he started by doing this kind of thing, and deliberately engaged in this kind of news to attract attention. ”

"Childish," Mitsumi Fukuda said coldly, "If you think about your identity, you will know why you are hacked!" ”

"I don't understand it at all!" Shen Zhenghui tilted his head, "I'm just a commercial film director." ”

"It is also very powerful for a commercial film director to be the first." Mitsumi Fukuda blinked, "Especially when it comes to publicity." ”

"I don't understand ...... very well"

"Then you can guess for yourself!" Mitsumi Fukuda said, "By the way, it is worth mentioning that these reports have been seen by Tomoaki Aonuma and Liu Xin! ”

"Huh?" Shen Zhenghu immediately forgot the puzzle mentioned by Mitsumi Fukuda. (To be continued......)
