At this moment.

Far away on Hong Kong Island.

Ye Xiao was chatting and laughing with his friends.

Jiang Ming of Oriental Film Production Company is also the one who led the investment in "Ip Man".

At this moment, Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"What's the matter, do you think Li Qing is a good person?"

"It's really good, in the past, the treatment of his son in the Beijing circle was only famous, but now it seems that this is true, CCTV has specially awarded him a hat of virtue and art." Jiang Ming paused and said, "And there are so many people in our Hong Kong circle who support him." ”

Liu Huade, Gu Letian, and Er Dong came out directly to support him...

Although it is related to the drama they filmed.

But in the case of their coffee seats, they don't have to.

There is only one possibility-that is, Li Qing gives them a really good feeling.

The popularity is indeed quite good.

"That's why I said this kid is good."

Ye Xiao paused and said with a smile: "It's no problem for him to play Ip Man." ”

Jiang Ming said.

"It's good, but I'm... I still want to audition first, after all, this role, our Donnie Yen is quite suitable. ”

Li Qing is popular.

There are acting.

And now his fame has reached the first-line level.

The coffee position of the TV series, I believe that after the broadcast of "The New Three Kingdoms" this time, it has completely established the position of a first-line coffee.

Next is to challenge the protagonist of the drama.

In fact, in the film industry, it is not too much, judging from the coffee position, it is already half an actor.

Plus a good skill.

is definitely the hottest actor of the younger generation.

It can be said that he has caught up with the older generation of actors.

The difference is the polishing of time and years, and in time, he will definitely be able to stand in the hall of the actor.

"However, after all, we are an investment company, and we also have to look at the marginal benefits, not only from the acting skills and image, but also from the perspective of coffee position, the ability to absorb gold, past experience, and comprehensive consideration." Jiang Ming smiled and said, "I also hope you can understand us." ”

"Of course I can understand that."

After all, it is also a project with an investment of 100 million yuan.

Yes.

This time, the investment in "Ip Man" directly reached the level of 100 million.

It's a commercial blockbuster!

Investment firms are definitely looking to be in business.

Li Qing is a hot new actor, both moral and artistic, film and television amphibious, half an actor, a future quasi-actor, and the son of the Beijing-Hong Kong central circle.

That Donnie Yen is also a martial arts drama bone who is still young, can fight, has an unparalleled ability to carry the box office, and has the successful experience of being the protagonist of commercial blockbusters in the past.

Compared with Li Qing.

Donnie Yen's birthday is from the perspective of expectation.

It is more stable to choose him.

And you won't make mistakes.

This is also an unspoken rule for blockbusters to choose the actor - the protagonist must not make mistakes.

Even the intention of "October Siege" to choose Donnie Yen as the protagonist is also for this reason.

Choosing Master Zhen and choosing him will definitely not make mistakes.

Because his past experience proves himself -

And as a director, Ye Xiao came to see...

At this moment, Ye Xiao paused and said.

"If it were me, Li Qing would be a better choice in my heart."

"You and Donnie Yen are still good friends." Jiang Ming teased.

"Good friends are good friends, but I am also the director of "Ip Man", and I think Li Qing will be more suitable for this role." Ye Xiao thought for a while and said: "Donnie Yen is certainly very good, but his appearance is indeed not as advantageous as Li Qing..."

Donnie Yen is an old Hong Kong star.

He must have his own hand, too.

At this moment.

Jiang Ming didn't think much about it and said.

"All in all, let's audition to see the results, if the judges prefer Li Qing, then choose Li Qing, if the judges prefer Donnie Yen, then choose Donnie Yen, right? Fair enough. ”

It's a battle between the 'conservatives' and the 'radicals' in the crew.

As an investor, most of them are naturally on the side of the conservatives, and the Oriental Film Production Company is also a century-old enterprise.

Experienced the Great Depression on Hong Kong Island.

In terms of the choice of roles, they will be more inclined to be conservative - this measure has also allowed their Oriental Film and Television to live well until now.

Many companies in the same period have gone away with the passage of time.

They, still alive.

"I see..."

At this moment, Ye Xiao also calmed down a little.

If you think about it carefully, Donnie Yen's birthday is indeed more stable...

So, the audition notified Li Qing and Donnie Yen.

"If it weren't for his performance so well in "New Three Kingdoms", I wouldn't even recommend trying Li Qing." Jiang Ming paused and said: "But judging from his performance in the New Three Kingdoms, if you want to talk about auditions, you can really give it a try." ”

If it weren't for Lu Bu's performance in "New Three Kingdoms", it would be really brilliant and beyond the specifications.

Even making movies has affected the film industry.

Oriental Film and Television will not agree to let Li Qing audition...

Movies with big investment in first-line theaters - or the position of the protagonist.

It's such an important consideration.

And here, Ye Xiao wanted to speak and stopped, his expression was a little complicated.

In order to shoot this "Ip Man".

He also found a lot of relationships and spent a lot of words, this is the first time he has made such a big investment in a movie.

100 million-level commercial blockbuster - or the upfront cost budget.

Coupled with the later publicity, the messy cost plus, 150 million is wanted.

It's basically slightly less than the level of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

And correspondingly.

Ye Xiao's right to speak in this movie has also been restricted a lot.

This is very contradictory.

Between losing your voice and losing your investment.

He still decisively chose to lose most of his voice.

Just like Jiang Ming said.

If it weren't for Lu Bu in "New Three Kingdoms", he would have exploded.

Li Qing really missed the position of this audition.

.....

When he received the audition notice for "Ip Man", Li Qing also learned that Donnie Yen also received the news of the audition.

Let's be honest.

This level of commercial blockbuster is also absolutely indispensable for Donnie Yen.

What lies ahead is a rare opportunity.

A film with an investment of 100 million.

Be the protagonist in this movie!

Li Qing thought for a moment.

recalled Donnie Yen, when I worked with him, I played against him, and I took care of him.

These memories surfaced bit by bit in Li Qing's place.

Whether it's from "Slaying the Wolf" to "October Siege".

Or the aid of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

Li Qing can feel that this martial arts star senior in the Hong Kong circle is sincerely helping himself.

In this regard, Li Qing is very grateful to this senior in the Hong Kong circle.

Thank you very much...

At this moment.

Li Qing thought for a moment.

took the initiative to dial Donnie Yen's phone.

"Hello?"

"Zhen seniors.. It's me, Xiao Li. Li Qing paused and said with a smile: "Let's audition for the protagonist of "Ip Man" together." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Donnie Yen's voice seemed to be a little cold.

It seems that he was a little unhappy because he received a call from Li Qing.

Is it because you want to grab a role together that you are angry?

And at this time.

Facing Donnie Yen, whose tone had changed slightly, Li Qing smiled and said.

"We gave two sips on the day of the audition, I haven't seen it for a long time."

"That's, I've been quite busy lately, and I'm also making movies, I heard that your "Disciple" is finished?"

"yes..."

"It's good, being able to play the leading role is the first step, and then think about commercial blockbusters." Donnie Yen was silent for a while and then said, "It's good." ”

And Li Qing took a deep breath and said.

"Therefore, when trying for the protagonist of "Ip Man", I will go all out and use all my strength to win the protagonist of this commercial film with an investment level of 100 million."

When I heard this.

Donnie Yen gave birth to his emotions.

But he was high-spirited.

There is no such thing as when I first answered the phone.

"Hahaha okay, let's go all out."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a moment.

Hung up.

Li Qing took a deep breath.

Ip Man.

His second commercial blockbuster - this time, however, is the position of the protagonist.

is different from the unreleased "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" Yuhuatian.

In "Ip Man", if you can get the role, you will be the absolute protagonist.

The absolute protagonist position of a commercial blockbuster.

Don't miss out.

.....

At this moment.

On the Hong Kong Island side.

Donnie Yen is in a very good mood.

After receiving the audition news, it is time to exercise and exercise, and when it is time to adjust the figure, adjust the figure.

For this role, he is also going all out...

At this moment, the assistant next to him was complaining.

"Why is this Li Qing so unkind, you have helped him so much before, and now he says that he won't take Hanhu with you to rob him."

The assistant complained that Li Qing was so 'unkind'.

Whether it's "Slaying the Wolf".

Or "The Siege of October".

is even "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and even went to help him audition for the role.

Call this time.

The assistant also thought that he would say that he would take the initiative to give up the role - the entertainment industry is not about fighting and killing, but also about human relations.

It's normal.

However, he said that he would give it his all.

What's going on?

At this moment, Donnie Yen, who was doing sit-ups, said surgingly.

"Do you know why I don't like my brother?"

"You mean... Jet Li? ”

"Because he always lets me, if he sees the same role as me, he will take the initiative to quit, and on various occasions, he will let me." Donnie Yen said: "So I don't like him, because he will subconsciously feel that it is because he is stronger than me, so I have to let me get his role." ”

"You know what, such an attitude, to me, is an insult... Absolute insult. ”

"Until now, I didn't like his condescending attitude."

"Li Qing... I thought he was like that at first. ”

If Li Qingzhen said that he took the initiative to quit.

Donnie Yen will be angry.

It will be very angry.

I will feel that Li Qing...

I don't know what to say.

Until Li Qing said that sentence.

Will do their best.

At this time, Donnie Yen said softly.

"Treat me as a strong opponent and give it your all..."

"Then if I don't prepare to be serious, wouldn't I be sorry for your respect?"
