After a long talk with Zeng Zhiwei, the candidates for the director and the three leading actors were preliminarily decided, needless to say, the director and the male number one and the male number three needless to say, the male number two Gu Chen originally planned to leave it to Zeng Zhiwei, but after Zeng Zhiwei carefully read the script, he proposed several candidates, either they did not meet the image of the tough guy in the play, or they were too young, after all, the male number two wanted to play Zhang Guorong, the brother of the male number one, and it would definitely not work if he was too young. After the most reluctant, Gu Chen couldn't help but mention Dillon, but he didn't expect Zeng Zhiwei to agree immediately. After that, the two were divided into two ways, John Woo and Dillon were in charge of Zeng Zhiwei; Zhou Yunfa and Zhang Guorong were in charge of Gu Chen......
"Are you really going to let me play the lead man in this play?" Zhang Guorong had an uncertain look on his face.
"Any questions?" Gu Chen had a breezy face.
"No, no, I mean ......" Zhang Guorong suddenly found that his tongue was a little knotted, and he didn't know how to express himself: "I mean, compared to the achievements in the music industry, my appeal in the film industry is not so strong, this is your first movie, how can it be better to find Fa Ge, the 'box office poison', than to find me, do you think about it carefully?" ”
"I've already talked to Fa Ge in the morning, he will play the male number three in the play, you just say that you can't act or not, I asked Sister Mei, your schedule is okay recently."
"You've figured it out, can I stop acting. But the ugly thing is ahead, if the box office performance is not good, you don't blame me. ”
Hearing this, he knew that Zhang Guorong not only did not have enough confidence in himself, but also had no confidence in Gu Chen.
"I said you can't say something auspicious, what is a poor box office performance, be careful that you don't get a red envelope when the time comes."
"It seems that you have quite confidence in this "True Colors of Heroes"."
"That's nature."
"By the way, I still don't know who directed this movie?"
"Wu Yusen, do you know?"
"That John Woo from Tsui Hark Film Studios?"
"That's right."
"Sure?"
"Well, Zhiwei had already talked to him on the phone last night, and he had agreed. If you still have unfinished work to hurry up, in a week at most, you should be on the crew. When Zeng Zhiwei, a former veteran of the New Arts City, called him and invited him to direct the first film of the Tang Dynasty Film Company, he almost didn't think much about it and initially agreed, just after reading the script, he could officially sign the contract.
"I'm idle during this time, so don't worry about that. The movie is over, now it's time for us to say something else, you ...... last time" Zhang Guorong didn't finish speaking, his eyebrows were comically raised twice, and Gu Chen understood what it meant when he saw it.
I saw a funny open the briefcase placed next to him, took out a few pieces of 4A paper from it and put them in front of Zhang Guorong, and said: "I've always been a man of words, na, the top two are for you, and the bottom two are for Sister Mei, I'm going to Japan tomorrow, you give it to her for me." ”
It is said that after Gu Chen came back from Thailand, he chatted about his new album at a party, and Anita Mui jokingly asked for two songs, and he immediately agreed, Zhang Guorong was also present at the time, so he naturally couldn't favor one over the other, so he also agreed to write two songs for Zhang Guorong.
In his previous life, Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong were recognized by the whole world in terms of character, prestige, and achievements, but they both died young, which made countless people regret it, including him. If he has a chance in this life, he doesn't mind suffering a 'loss' for these two people he respects. As for other people, they don't have such treatment, you must know that the song he wrote has now been hyped to one million Hong Kong dollars.
Zhang Guorong couldn't wait to pick up the paper and look at it, one of the two songs Gu Chen wrote to him was "Silence is Golden", this song was originally his classic song, and the other song was Alan Tam's classic song "Water Flowers". The two songs written for Anita Mui are "Seems to Be an Old Man" and "Song of the Sunset", in fact, these two songs were originally Anita Mui's own representative songs in her previous life.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Guorong carefully watched the four songs, and said with an excited expression on his face: "No wonder you were fired to one million in one song, it seems that there are still few now, these four songs are very good, I will accept this gift, and it will be regarded as the salary for starring in "The True Color of Heroes". ”
"That's what you said, don't come to me when the time comes."
"It's really me, but I've earned it."
"It's not interesting for you to say this, it's not about money."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this." Since Gu Chen's first album was a big hit, I don't know how many people have asked him to buy songs, but Gu Chen has never sold a single one, but now Gu Chen has given him and Anita Mui two songs each, and they are still rare good songs, Zhang Guorong knew what this was for, so when he saw Gu Chen's unhappy face, he quickly changed the topic and said: "By the way, how do I think the melody of this "Song of the Sunset" is very similar to the "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" in Chen Huixian's new album, it won't be that adaptation." ”
"I didn't expect you to just look at it for a while and find out, that's right, this "Song of the Sunset" is adapted from "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", I rearranged the music and filled in the lyrics, so although the melody sounds very similar, in fact, it is completely different flavors and artistic conceptions. Hehe, in fact, I have another purpose for doing this, Sister Mei doesn't need me to say more, she is a veritable first sister in the Hong Kong music scene. However, Chen Huixian is not bad, although she is not as famous as Sister Mei, but she is a powerful singer, and it will definitely be interesting if "Sunset Song" and "Thousand Thousand Que Song" are on the top ten golden songs list and the top ten Chinese golden songs list together. ”
Two songs by the same author with similar melodies compete on the same list, and when Zhang Guorong thinks of that kind of scene, he can't help but show a wicked smile on his face: "It seems to be really interesting." ”
